- 0:56Speaker 3: Handmade Vodka. Crowd sponsor of the seas distilled and bottled
- 1:01Speaker 3: by Fifth Generation Ain't Austin, Texas forty percent alcohol by
- 1:04Speaker 3: volume Saber Responsibly. And yes, we've got lots of football
- 1:09Speaker 3: to discuss here on the radio program here today, and
- 1:13Speaker 3: so we welcome you into the show. And I really
- 1:17Speaker 3: don't like to make a habit of talking about the
- 1:21Speaker 3: drive in. I mean, sometimes though, that's the freshest thing
- 1:25Speaker 3: on your mind, is the drive in to work, and
- 1:28Speaker 3: so sometimes it just happens. I think I have catapulted
- 1:31Speaker 3: to the top of the list the most annoying drivers,
- 1:34Speaker 3: and I don't think they get enough credit for this.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Oh or blame depends on how you look at it.
- 1:40Speaker 3: This one never gets pointed out in the bad driver category.
- 1:43Speaker 3: But it's the person when you are stuck behind and
- 1:46Speaker 3: you can't get around either an accident or like one
- 1:50Speaker 3: of those oversized loads that's taken up two lanes, and
- 1:54Speaker 3: so everybody's stuck driving like fifteen miles per hour for
- 1:58Speaker 3: this long stretch of time. And then you finally break
- 2:01Speaker 3: out and you emerge and you've got the window to
- 2:04Speaker 3: get out of there, and the person in front of
- 2:06Speaker 3: you still wants to drive like twenty miles an hour.
- 2:11Speaker 1: That person, that is everybody else on the highway is like.
- 2:15Speaker 3: I free finally like in it hammers down the gas
- 2:19Speaker 3: pedal and tries to speed and catch up time. And
- 2:23Speaker 3: then there's that one person you don't want to get
- 2:25Speaker 3: stuck behind that emerges out of the pack and drives
- 2:28Speaker 3: like five miles per hour faster than.
- 2:31Speaker 4: What we were all driving before. It's definitely blame. It's
- 2:34Speaker 4: not credit.
- 2:36Speaker 1: It's definitely blame.
- 2:37Speaker 3: I used to put the person who, like late at night,
- 2:42Speaker 3: when you're going down a side street, like a surface street,
- 2:45Speaker 3: you know, and you're like, you and the person that's
- 2:48Speaker 3: getting ready to pull out on the side street are
- 2:51Speaker 3: like the only two people.
- 2:52Speaker 1: On the road, and they still pull out in front
- 2:55Speaker 1: of you.
- 2:55Speaker 3: They can't wait like one second to try to avoid
- 2:59Speaker 3: not having an act.
- 3:00Speaker 1: They're like, there's no way I'm waiting one and a.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Half seconds for this person to pass me when I
- 3:05Speaker 3: could go right now and maybe avoid a car collision.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Yeah, that used to be my number one person, But
- 3:12Speaker 3: after today, I think I've I'm not given enough blame
- 3:17Speaker 3: to the person that escapes the stuck in trasition and
- 3:23Speaker 3: decides I'm just gonna drive just a little bit faster than.
- 3:26Speaker 1: We all just were forced to drive.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Felt really comfortable back there, you know, I think thirty
- 3:31Speaker 4: on the freeways, it just feels right.
- 3:35Speaker 5: The further left I do this, it's really fun.
- 3:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Yeah, And you're you know, you still don't have the
- 3:41Speaker 3: open way to get into all four lanes, and you're
- 3:45Speaker 3: just like, are.
- 3:45Speaker 1: You kidding me?
- 3:46Speaker 3: Yeah, we are finally out from behind this guy, and
- 3:49Speaker 3: you've decided to go from fifteen miles per hour to
- 3:52Speaker 3: nineteen miles per hour.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Of all the bad drivers, that one's not going to
- 3:56Speaker 4: be up at the top of my list.
- 3:57Speaker 1: But that's because it's it. It's like Nascar.
- 4:01Speaker 4: The green light just opened and that guy is gone
- 4:03Speaker 4: in my opinion, and you were gone, and it might
- 4:06Speaker 4: be if you can just you can almost sense it too,
- 4:09Speaker 4: because they're the ones that as it starts to open up,
- 4:12Speaker 4: nobody can switch lane yet, but you can see the
- 4:14Speaker 4: opening the head and they're just like, n I'm really
- 4:18Speaker 4: lucking this right now. And I'm like, whole the first
- 4:21Speaker 4: second that there is fourteen feet between me and another car,
- 4:24Speaker 4: I am around you.
- 4:27Speaker 6: I really like the person that drives all the way
- 4:29Speaker 6: up and then gets in front of you, even though
- 4:31Speaker 6: there's one hundred yards behind you, Like.
- 4:34Speaker 5: You're yeah, you're yeh, got like a normal.
- 4:37Speaker 6: Amount of car length between you and the person in
- 4:39Speaker 6: front of you with a safe amount, And they're.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Like, and you're the last person in the line.
- 4:43Speaker 5: And they're like, so I got to get in front
- 4:44Speaker 5: of you. It's like, and it's your job to let
- 4:48Speaker 5: me in here.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Yeah. I had one of those today too. Yeah, yeah,
- 4:51Speaker 1: I don't get that, yeah.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Because we had an accident and sure enough, I just
- 4:56Speaker 3: like scream up there and try to squeeze in and it's.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Like they're dude, there's a lot of room behind me. Yeah,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you could have taken all of that. Yeah, yeah, well.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Anyway, yeah, oh man, drivers, good morning, Welcome into the
- 5:13Speaker 3: radio program. And we don't even have to deal with
- 5:16Speaker 3: the congestion. I mean, that's the one benefit about this
- 5:19Speaker 3: shift is that we have fewer drivers. We don't ever
- 5:22Speaker 3: get caught in rush hour traffic. But man, you should
- 5:25Speaker 3: see some of these turns in the morning if you're
- 5:27Speaker 3: just now waking up.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Wow, it is something. All right, Well we get started
- 5:32Speaker 1: here on this Friday.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Sorry to veer off into that, but man, we do
- 5:37Speaker 3: come fresh off the roads, and so sometimes you just.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Can't resist talking about it.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get into the National Football League. Very interesting
- 5:46Speaker 3: that we have a game this week that the Seahawks
- 5:50Speaker 3: are involved in that should be a blowout. Almost everybody
- 5:54Speaker 3: is predicting a blowout. I mean it's a thirteen and
- 5:57Speaker 3: a half point spread, which I think I heard that's
- 6:00Speaker 3: largest points spread the Seahawks have ever had for a
- 6:03Speaker 3: road game in franchise history at thirteen and a half points.
- 6:08Speaker 3: And yet people are expecting them to obliterate the thirteen
- 6:12Speaker 3: and a half points, and they probably should, but man,
- 6:16Speaker 3: it sure is something. I mean, after watching that game
- 6:21Speaker 3: last night, I mean, the Buffalo Bills, the Houston Texans
- 6:24Speaker 3: just look like animals out there on the field, just
- 6:27Speaker 3: devouring everything that Josh Allen and the Bills are trying
- 6:30Speaker 3: to do. And this is a team that really the
- 6:32Speaker 3: Seahawks weren't given much credit for beating in Houston. Well,
- 6:36Speaker 3: if Buffalo's supposed to be one of the best teams
- 6:39Speaker 3: in the National Football League, maybe Houston's not so bad.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Maybe that's not so soft to win. I mean, they
- 6:44Speaker 3: even had CJ. Stroud at the time that we face
- 6:47Speaker 3: the Houston Texans. I guess what my point is is
- 6:51Speaker 3: that parody's sort of running wild in the National Football League.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Even in college football, the gap has closed. Alabama, Georgia, others,
- 7:00Speaker 3: they're just not dominating college football the way they were
- 7:03Speaker 3: before the nil period came here. But in the National
- 7:06Speaker 3: Football League, anybody that's just resigning themselves to thinking Buffalo
- 7:12Speaker 3: looks like a world champion and then three weeks later,
- 7:15Speaker 3: Buffalo looks like they're not even going to make the playoffs.
- 7:18Speaker 3: I think that's where we are with the National Football League.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Que pointed it out last night or yesterday on the
- 7:25Speaker 3: round table, like there aren't any teams in the National
- 7:28Speaker 3: Football League that are dominating every single quality opponent that
- 7:32Speaker 3: they face. You usually go five hundred against them, and
- 7:35Speaker 3: then you whip up on those that are struggling. The
- 7:39Speaker 3: lesser thans in the National Football League. That seems to
- 7:42Speaker 3: be where we are. And just because one team looks
- 7:45Speaker 3: on top of the world one week, two weeks later,
- 7:47Speaker 3: just wait, they're probably going to be questioned whether or
- 7:50Speaker 3: not they can even.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Make the playoffs.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Remember the Kansas City Chiefs were supposed to be looking
- 7:54Speaker 3: like the Kansas City Chiefs Again.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Well, they've lost two straight games.
- 7:57Speaker 3: They're five and five, and some people are saying it's
- 7:59Speaker 3: a must win this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 8:04Speaker 3: I don't know why it feels particularly parite ish this year,
- 8:09Speaker 3: but it certainly does. Nobody seems to be just in,
- 8:14Speaker 3: locked in. They all seem to be behind that double
- 8:17Speaker 3: size load and trying to emerge from behind it and
- 8:22Speaker 3: hoping that they can hit the gas pedal on the
- 8:25Speaker 3: other side, and they're just running into more traffic on
- 8:28Speaker 3: the other side of that double load.
- 8:30Speaker 4: It felt like this season that the the undefeated team
- 8:36Speaker 4: went away quicker than normal, right, and felt like, I mean,
- 8:40Speaker 4: I don't know what it was. We're Week three or
- 8:42Speaker 4: four or something where it was like, all of a sudden,
- 8:44Speaker 4: there was no more undefeated teams. So that it to
- 8:48Speaker 4: me feels like there's been no one that is no
- 8:51Speaker 4: one I mean not. I don't think the Broncos are
- 8:53Speaker 4: in that category. I don't think the Eagles or even
- 8:55Speaker 4: in that category, you know, the I don't think the
- 8:58Speaker 4: Patriots or Colts are in that category of look at
- 9:01Speaker 4: how amazing this team has looked from start to finish, right,
- 9:04Speaker 4: I mean, right now, you would figure there would be
- 9:06Speaker 4: a team that would be, you know, ten and oh.
- 9:10Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot of times that you do
- 9:11Speaker 4: have a team's ten and oh, or at least if
- 9:13Speaker 4: they weren't ten and oh, they were eight to o
- 9:15Speaker 4: or nine and oh at some point in time, and
- 9:17Speaker 4: yet you haven't seen that. And so I feel like
- 9:20Speaker 4: there's not a giant, top heavy part of it. So
- 9:22Speaker 4: there's a whole bunch of teams on that are kind
- 9:25Speaker 4: of in that top to middle and you could rank them,
- 9:28Speaker 4: and then there's a group that are down at the box,
- 9:30Speaker 4: like the Titans, yea, that are just like, Okay, you
- 9:33Speaker 4: have to beat these guys, and you should beat them handedly.
- 9:36Speaker 6: Uh.
- 9:36Speaker 4: And then I think there's a couple of teams that
- 9:38Speaker 4: kind of will can bounce in and out of that, right.
- 9:41Speaker 4: I mean, I think the Raiders are not good, but
- 9:43Speaker 4: you might want to watch out. They could go out
- 9:45Speaker 4: there that they're bad, well, but they could they could
- 9:47Speaker 4: go out there.
- 9:48Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Divisional football, like, you can lose to anybody on any week,
- 9:52Speaker 3: but I would definitely put the Raiders in the bad
- 9:54Speaker 3: category that you were talking about.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Yeah, bad category.
- 9:56Speaker 4: I'm just saying that there's a couple of teams that
- 9:58Speaker 4: basically are in the either the haves or the have nots,
- 10:02Speaker 4: that from time time can jump out of their skin
- 10:04Speaker 4: and all of a sudden play with somebody that's in
- 10:06Speaker 4: the other category.
- 10:07Speaker 1: And vice versa for football, vice versa.
- 10:10Speaker 4: I think that there's teams this year that more so
- 10:13Speaker 4: that in than in recent years that I can remember
- 10:16Speaker 4: that that are will play down to their competition. Typically,
- 10:18Speaker 4: if you're a Super Bowl contender, you don't end up
- 10:22Speaker 4: playing down to your competition. But the Bills not so
- 10:25Speaker 4: much yesterday, because I think the Texans defense is legit,
- 10:27Speaker 4: and that's basically what kind of controlled the game yesterday.
- 10:30Speaker 4: I mean, they were harassing Josh Allen the entire time,
- 10:34Speaker 4: but the way in which they lost to Miami, which
- 10:36Speaker 4: Miami is one of those teams it's bad, but they
- 10:39Speaker 4: have some talent. Then every once in a while they
- 10:41Speaker 4: showed up and and the and they played better than
- 10:44Speaker 4: a team that probably overlooked them or played down to them,
- 10:47Speaker 4: which I don't understand considering being a division foe. But yeah,
- 10:50Speaker 4: to me, it feels like there's teams that don't necessarily
- 10:52Speaker 4: they're not necessary themselves all the time. You know, they don't.
- 10:55Speaker 4: They don't play like how they're capable. To me, I
- 10:57Speaker 4: don't feel like, oh, wow, the Bills, are they any good? No,
- 11:01Speaker 4: I think they're still Super Bowl contender, but I just
- 11:03Speaker 4: think right.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Now they're not.
- 11:05Speaker 3: But they but there's no reason to think they can't
- 11:07Speaker 3: rebound in a couple of weeks and look like they
- 11:09Speaker 3: are again.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's what the SEA. I
- 11:12Speaker 1: think that's what the NFL is right now.
- 11:14Speaker 6: Well, and I think the interesting thing is too you
- 11:15Speaker 6: look at the Patriots or you look at the Colts,
- 11:18Speaker 6: and these teams that they're everyone's waiting for them to
- 11:21Speaker 6: show their true colors, right, Everyone's like, this record's not real,
- 11:24Speaker 6: this is this is fake. You know they're gonna who
- 11:27Speaker 6: have they played? They're gonna lose their schedules hard.
- 11:29Speaker 5: But I don't know, are they real?
- 11:32Speaker 6: I have no idea, And that makes it so hard
- 11:34Speaker 6: each week to try to look at these matchups. You're like,
- 11:37Speaker 6: is this the week they're going to show their true
- 11:38Speaker 6: colors and lose? Because everyone says that's what's supposed to happen.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Well, I think that they certainly are the overachieving teams,
- 11:46Speaker 3: but and I think they're all good.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that they are all.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Better than what the national average conversation was. Certainly I
- 11:55Speaker 3: didn't give Indianapolis as much credit as what they deserved.
- 11:59Speaker 3: And New England and Denver I think are pretty similar stories.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Both with second year quarterbacks. They're not exactly lighting things
- 12:09Speaker 3: up offensively, but Denver as a great defense that's leading
- 12:14Speaker 3: them week in and week out, and they're just they're
- 12:17Speaker 3: doing just enough to win games. And so I think
- 12:20Speaker 3: that they have good consistent products those three.
- 12:23Speaker 1: But honestly, I.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Mean, does that should any of those three teams scare
- 12:29Speaker 3: you if you're in the AFC playoffs, if you're the
- 12:31Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills and you get in as a wildcard, you
- 12:34Speaker 3: don't win the division. New England ends up running away
- 12:36Speaker 3: with it because you're wildly inconsistent. Are the Buffalo Bills
- 12:40Speaker 3: shaking in their boots over having to go to any
- 12:43Speaker 3: of those three teams and play in the playoffs. I
- 12:45Speaker 3: don't think there's a great team in the National Football League,
- 12:48Speaker 3: even the defending champions, who are eight and two. The
- 12:52Speaker 3: call about the description of the Philadelphia Eagles this year
- 12:56Speaker 3: is they're not good at anything except winning games.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I mean, think about that description.
- 13:03Speaker 3: I mean that's insane, and I do think they're playing
- 13:06Speaker 3: great defense this year, but the offense looks completely broken.
- 13:10Speaker 1: They just they look.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Terrible, but they still figure out ways to win games.
- 13:15Speaker 3: I don't think maybe the Rams.
- 13:17Speaker 1: But then again, as I've said throughout this week, I
- 13:20Speaker 1: think we uplayd the Rams and lost by two on
- 13:23Speaker 1: the road.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Because of a punt that went out at the one
- 13:26Speaker 3: yard line, or because Sam Darnold threw one more interception
- 13:29Speaker 3: than he should have, or whatever, one play away from
- 13:33Speaker 3: beating the Rams in Los Angeles, and yet they've probably
- 13:37Speaker 3: looked as consistently great as any team in.
- 13:40Speaker 1: The National Football League.
- 13:41Speaker 3: So I don't know if this is something's just going
- 13:43Speaker 3: to continue in perpetuity or if it's just special to
- 13:46Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. But it just doesn't feel like there's
- 13:49Speaker 3: a great team in the National Football League right now.
- 13:52Speaker 3: But wait a couple of weeks, because teams like Buffalo
- 13:55Speaker 3: and Kansas City and Tampa Bay and Philadelphia weeks from
- 14:00Speaker 3: now might look great. It kind of feels like whoever
- 14:04Speaker 3: is peaking at the right time is going to end
- 14:06Speaker 3: up winning the Super Bowl and we have no idea
- 14:10Speaker 3: none as to who that's.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Going to be. Yeah, that's the difference.
- 14:14Speaker 4: I mean, it's always that the who's peaking at the
- 14:16Speaker 4: right time, who's getting hot when it matters most, That's
- 14:19Speaker 4: always the case. And yet it's this year does feel like, well,
- 14:22Speaker 4: who's that going to be? And I think the large
- 14:25Speaker 4: part of that is because teams like Indianapolis or Denver
- 14:29Speaker 4: or the Bears, those aren't teams that anybody was thinking
- 14:32Speaker 4: was necessarily going to be on top of their conference.
- 14:35Speaker 4: You know, most certainly they weren't. I mean, I I
- 14:37Speaker 4: heard Broungovan, I thought's I think the defense is legit,
- 14:41Speaker 4: but I think bo Nick still has some learning to do,
- 14:43Speaker 4: and I still think it is that's why they're not
- 14:45Speaker 4: rolling people on a regular basis, is because bo Nicks
- 14:48Speaker 4: is still making some mistakes that a guy that's only
- 14:50Speaker 4: a couple of years into the league will make. But yeah,
- 14:53Speaker 4: it just seems odd to me. And then those that
- 14:55Speaker 4: are the haves, those that the Eagles defending champs, and
- 14:59Speaker 4: you know, the and the Ravens and teams that you
- 15:03Speaker 4: just were almost automatically assuming they're going to be great
- 15:06Speaker 4: and they were for sure going to be in the mix,
- 15:09Speaker 4: they've played down a little bit and they've found ways
- 15:11Speaker 4: to lose games that typically they find a way to win.
- 15:14Speaker 4: It's a It is interesting because some of the teams
- 15:16Speaker 4: that you thought for sure were going to be on
- 15:18Speaker 4: top of the heap are just kind of middling around
- 15:21Speaker 4: right now. And it's typically because they're losing to some
- 15:23Speaker 4: of those names I mentioned earlier, or names that shouldn't
- 15:26Speaker 4: even be in the conversation.
- 15:28Speaker 3: And I think in past years we would sit there
- 15:29Speaker 3: and we would say, hey, Buffalo's not as good as
- 15:32Speaker 3: what we thought, and you would kind of bury them,
- 15:36Speaker 3: but not not today, not in today's game, because two
- 15:39Speaker 3: weeks from now, I mean maybe they're flying high again,
- 15:43Speaker 3: maybe by the playoffs if they could squeeze in, but
- 15:46Speaker 3: be playing the best football in the National Football League.
- 15:49Speaker 3: I mean, think about Baltimore kind of started the season
- 15:53Speaker 3: as a team that people thought was the best, and
- 15:55Speaker 3: then one in five and now they're right back to
- 15:59Speaker 3: five hundred, even though they're not even playing well, they're
- 16:02Speaker 3: still not clicking.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Five weeks ago, Baker.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Mayfield was the MVP of the National Football League and
- 16:10Speaker 3: they've since lost all of his weapons, and now they
- 16:13Speaker 3: seem to be struggling six and four. But you're telling
- 16:16Speaker 3: me they couldn't beat the Rams in Los Angeles Sunday night.
- 16:18Speaker 3: You better believe they could beat the Law and then
- 16:20Speaker 3: we'll start talking about the Buccaneers favorably again.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I mean, the Seahawks and.
- 16:26Speaker 3: The Colts are both averaging over thirty points per game
- 16:30Speaker 3: this year. The Seahawks were mentioned nationally as maybe the
- 16:33Speaker 3: best team in the NFL going into that Rams week.
- 16:37Speaker 3: So it's like different teams have taken turns this year
- 16:40Speaker 3: being called the best team in the National Football League.
- 16:43Speaker 3: And I think they're about twelve that by the end
- 16:46Speaker 3: of the season could end up being But right now
- 16:50Speaker 3: we don't have a clue. I mean, the Green Bay
- 16:52Speaker 3: Packers look terrible right now. At one point earlier this
- 16:56Speaker 3: year they were the best team in the National Football League.
- 16:58Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I tell you what.
- 17:00Speaker 6: It makes the confidence pool I do every week really
- 17:02Speaker 6: hard to predict.
- 17:03Speaker 5: You have to just guess on one upset if you
- 17:06Speaker 5: want to win, basically it.
- 17:08Speaker 6: I don't.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you can have much confidence right
- 17:11Speaker 3: now thinking hey, wow, I'm a Rams fan, We're a
- 17:14Speaker 3: flying I right now we're going to rattle off ten
- 17:17Speaker 3: straight and win it all.
- 17:19Speaker 5: No, not a lot of confidence in any team.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you can feel that way. I
- 17:23Speaker 1: think this is good. This is like the most wait.
- 17:25Speaker 3: And see kind of season that I can ever remember
- 17:28Speaker 3: as a fan of the National Football League. And I
- 17:30Speaker 3: do expect the Bills at some point to be back
- 17:33Speaker 3: playing dominant football again. But right now they don't look
- 17:37Speaker 3: like a playoff team. They that did not look like
- 17:39Speaker 3: a playoff.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Team last night just didn't. They didn't last night.
- 17:43Speaker 4: But to me, it's I just two of the last
- 17:46Speaker 4: three weeks, well, I think the last four weeks they
- 17:48Speaker 4: beat Kansas City, then got smoked by Miami, then beat
- 17:52Speaker 4: Tampa Bay, and then lost last night. To me, it's
- 17:54Speaker 4: just the jekylin Hyde. I feel like they they sometimes
- 17:57Speaker 4: they show up and play the way they're cable, and
- 17:59Speaker 4: other times they owned. Yesterday was one where I think
- 18:01Speaker 4: Houston just kind of smacked him in the mouth and
- 18:03Speaker 4: they never recovered.
- 18:04Speaker 3: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
- 18:06Speaker 3: Friday show.
- 18:10Speaker 2: What's on tap, what's untapped?
- 18:13Speaker 3: I have never been more sure that a person was
- 18:18Speaker 3: seriously injured and then turns out he's not injured at
- 18:23Speaker 3: all than what Josh Allen was.
- 18:25Speaker 5: Like I thought he we all thought he broke his wrist.
- 18:28Speaker 1: I I'll put it this way.
- 18:30Speaker 3: It was one of those situations where I didn't want
- 18:33Speaker 3: to see the replay because I thought we were going
- 18:35Speaker 3: to see like a Jade and Daniel something grewsome thing,
- 18:38Speaker 3: And then I'm like, oh, that doesn't look so bad.
- 18:40Speaker 3: He must have separated his shoulder. He was kicking his
- 18:43Speaker 3: legs on the field like immediately, like kicking his legs.
- 18:48Speaker 6: When they went to show the replay, I put my
- 18:49Speaker 6: hands up, like watch. I was like, I don't want
- 18:51Speaker 6: to see.
- 18:52Speaker 1: I didn't want to. I thought for sure. I'm like,
- 18:53Speaker 1: we just lost the most entertaining football player in the
- 18:56Speaker 1: game and he didn't even sit out of play. Nope,
- 19:00Speaker 1: it's crazy. I don't know what happened there.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Seahawks will play the Tennessee Titans at ten am on Sunday.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Indianapolis Kansas City might be the most interesting game of
- 19:11Speaker 3: the weekend that'll take place in week number twelve of
- 19:14Speaker 3: the NFL. Week number thirteen of the college football season.
- 19:17Speaker 3: USC and Oregon might take the crown for the most
- 19:20Speaker 3: fascinating matchup that'll kick off at twelve thirty on Saturday.
- 19:25Speaker 3: You dub will be in Los Angeles. It is a
- 19:27Speaker 3: night game against the Bruins. Seven point thirty is your
- 19:31Speaker 3: kickoff there. The Honks will get things started at three
- 19:33Speaker 3: thirty right here on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 19:37Speaker 3: You Dubbed Soccer had a banner night, greatest night in
- 19:40Speaker 3: the history of the U dub soccer programs. They both
- 19:44Speaker 3: won tournament games last night. The women advanced to the
- 19:48Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen a beautiful one on one breakaway goal for
- 19:52Speaker 3: the only goal of the entire match.
- 19:55Speaker 1: So you dub women are in.
- 19:56Speaker 3: The Sweet sixteen. They will take on number one seed
- 19:59Speaker 3: virgin on Sunday, and the men's team beat the Beavers
- 20:03Speaker 3: in the first round of the playoff of the tournament
- 20:06Speaker 3: three to two. They will also play on Sunday, so
- 20:08Speaker 3: they both played yesterday, they will both play on Sunday.
- 20:11Speaker 5: That's fun.
- 20:12Speaker 6: I thought for some reason that the nctwoa A tournament
- 20:14Speaker 6: didn't start till December fifth, when we were talking about
- 20:17Speaker 6: them winning the Big Ten, but it must be when
- 20:18Speaker 6: the championship is is December fifth, I couldn't tell you.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Yeah, cracking three two winners over the Blackhawks, and that's
- 20:24Speaker 3: a heck of a win. It's a road win in
- 20:26Speaker 3: which they were trailing two to nothing after two periods
- 20:29Speaker 3: in that game, but they rallied to win it by
- 20:32Speaker 3: a final score of three to two. Jaden Schwartz ends
- 20:35Speaker 3: up with the game winning goal. And we'll find some
- 20:37Speaker 3: time today to talk stove as well, heading into what
- 20:41Speaker 3: is looking like an already turned on stove, which it
- 20:46Speaker 3: usually doesn't get clicked on this early, not these days.
- 20:48Speaker 3: But maybe the Mariners are close to another move. We'll
- 20:52Speaker 3: discuss that at some point during our four hours together.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Plus you Millan Mike Holmer and Greg Bell. They'll all
- 20:57Speaker 3: be with us, but coming up next in case you missed,
- 21:00Speaker 3: at Rick new Eiel on This Week in College Football
- 21:02Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M,
- 21:12Speaker 3: Fire Happy Briday, Chuck Pile, former Mariner, Bucky Jacobson, and
- 21:18Speaker 3: Ashley Ryan with you here on a football Friday. Yes,
- 21:22Speaker 3: we've got plenty of Seahawks and Titans to discuss, So
- 21:25Speaker 3: later with Greg Bell at seven o five, Hugh Millon
- 21:28Speaker 3: at nine o'clock, Mike Holmgren at nine to thirty. Actually
- 21:31Speaker 3: has got to get away day. She's gonna get out
- 21:33Speaker 3: of here before Mike Holmgren joins.
- 21:35Speaker 5: Us on sad I love, saying to coach, maybe that's.
- 21:38Speaker 1: The last thing you can do.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Yeah, just stay hi in the.
- 21:42Speaker 1: And then you can leave. Just wanted to stick around.
- 21:44Speaker 5: It, just wanted to stay hi.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I hope he gets bad at you about it.
- 21:48Speaker 5: He will.
- 21:49Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't seem to like you too as much
- 21:51Speaker 3: as he likes me.
- 21:52Speaker 1: That's true.
- 21:53Speaker 5: No, I think that's wrong.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Is that wrong? Yeah, That's what I've picked up on.
- 21:57Speaker 5: No, he likes me.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought for sure it was me one, Ashley
- 22:02Speaker 3: two and Kid three.
- 22:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you're closer there probably.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I think Kid is third. Rick new Eiel, on the
- 22:13Speaker 1: other hand, Ashley didn't care to stick around talk to coach,
- 22:16Speaker 1: especially when he's on recorded.
- 22:20Speaker 3: So every Friday we find a time in the show
- 22:23Speaker 3: to replace some of our conversation from Tuesday with Rick
- 22:26Speaker 3: new Heisel joins us every Tuesday at nine o'clock. Today,
- 22:31Speaker 3: we're just going to chop up the portion of the
- 22:33Speaker 3: best games that are heading into this thirteenth week of
- 22:37Speaker 3: the college football season, and we'll pick it up at
- 22:40Speaker 3: the very top, because I don't think there's a more
- 22:42Speaker 3: interesting game than USC versus Oregon in Eugene on Saturday.
- 22:49Speaker 1: And Coach tends to agree.
- 22:51Speaker 7: This is going to be a great contest because they
- 22:55Speaker 7: have played gritty this year. You got to give Lincoln
- 22:59Speaker 7: credit for what they've done to kind of make themselves
- 23:04Speaker 7: a little bit more physical from a standpoint of running
- 23:08Speaker 7: the football. They've won a couple of basic ground and
- 23:13Speaker 7: pound type of games against both Michigan and last week
- 23:17Speaker 7: against Iowa. And when you win those kind of games,
- 23:21Speaker 7: you put yourself in position to play for big prizes.
- 23:23Speaker 7: And that's exactly what will take place in Eugene and
- 23:27Speaker 7: give the Ducks credit to They went to Kinnick Stadium
- 23:30Speaker 7: and beat Iowa in Iowa weather and basically held served
- 23:36Speaker 7: and did so again last week against Minnesota on a
- 23:39Speaker 7: Friday night. So this is going to be a great game.
- 23:42Speaker 7: I think Oregon has the advantage. I think Oregon's probably
- 23:47Speaker 7: a little bit more talented except at the wide receiver position.
- 23:51Speaker 7: But if Dante Moore plays like he did against Minnesota,
- 23:55Speaker 7: I'm gonna take the Ducks.
- 23:56Speaker 3: And of course that's on CBS on Okay, all right,
- 24:01Speaker 3: I got the big one there. All right, how's this
- 24:04Speaker 3: ACC going to shake out? And will Georgia Tech versus
- 24:08Speaker 3: Pitt have a say in that?
- 24:11Speaker 7: Big time? Pitt gets to write their own story here
- 24:15Speaker 7: at the end. Now, they've laid an egg against Notre
- 24:17Speaker 7: Dame last week, but if they can beat Georgia Tech,
- 24:20Speaker 7: and Georgia Tech's defense has given up massive chunks of yardage.
- 24:24Speaker 7: So if this Mason Hinchel, that freshman quarterback, can have
- 24:27Speaker 7: a day again and they can beat Georgia Tech at
- 24:30Speaker 7: Georgia Tech, then they'll get to play Miami the next
- 24:34Speaker 7: week to get a chance to be in the SEC
- 24:36Speaker 7: excuse me, ACC Championship Virginia has a clear path. They
- 24:41Speaker 7: just have Virginia Tech. They get this week off, they
- 24:43Speaker 7: get Virginia Tech next week. But they've struggled against Virginia
- 24:47Speaker 7: Tech over the a long time. And you know who's
- 24:50Speaker 7: sneaking around the chicken coop is SMU. SMU only has
- 24:54Speaker 7: one loss. They get Louisville at home this week. Louisville
- 24:58Speaker 7: lost again last week to Clemson, so they're out. But
- 25:02Speaker 7: if they knock off Louisville, then they're going to go
- 25:04Speaker 7: to cal to try to also be in that number
- 25:06Speaker 7: that can be playing in Charlotte. So much still to
- 25:10Speaker 7: be determined in the ACC, and there's only going to
- 25:13Speaker 7: be one team that.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Emerges, Cincinnati BYU. Is that a playoff game in essence?
- 25:18Speaker 3: Or Cincinnati do they have too big of a hurdle
- 25:21Speaker 3: to overcome?
- 25:22Speaker 7: Cincinnati can get there. If Cincinnati knocks off BYU, that
- 25:27Speaker 7: gives BYU the second loss in the conference, and that
- 25:31Speaker 7: makes Cincinnati on par and they would own the tiebreaker. Unfortunately,
- 25:36Speaker 7: Cincinnati lost the Utah so then other things come into play.
- 25:39Speaker 7: And I haven't done all that math yet, but Utah
- 25:43Speaker 7: is hoping like heck that Cincinnati can pull this off.
- 25:47Speaker 7: So they can get themselves another chance at the Red Raiders.
- 25:51Speaker 7: But beat if you're Brett, your Mark and the commissioner
- 25:55Speaker 7: of the league, you want BYU to get to Arlington
- 26:00Speaker 7: against Texas Tech because those two teams, I think, regardless
- 26:04Speaker 7: of the outcome, would both get into the playoff.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Ring new Isel our College Football inside of the former
- 26:08Speaker 3: UDUB ed coach, he breaks down U dub's game of
- 26:11Speaker 3: UCLA for us. A little bit later on the show,
- 26:14Speaker 3: we will throw that into the ochow at eight o'clock.
- 26:17Speaker 3: But man, it's really some fascinating stuff. I don't think
- 26:20Speaker 3: there's much time left for conference championship games. I don't
- 26:24Speaker 3: think they're going to survive this new tournament era. But
- 26:28Speaker 3: for now we have them, and they tend to go,
- 26:31Speaker 3: and they go to the top two teams. I mean,
- 26:33Speaker 3: we don't have divisions anymore, so it's just the top
- 26:35Speaker 3: two teams from the regular season and some couple of
- 26:40Speaker 3: really interesting races. Because the ACC, for example, Miami's best
- 26:45Speaker 3: shot at getting to the tournament is winning the ACC.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Coach said, you win the ACC or you don't make it.
- 26:52Speaker 3: I don't know if that's one hundred percent sure, because
- 26:56Speaker 3: you still have that.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Miami Notre Dame.
- 26:58Speaker 3: If Miami could finish out the regular season with the
- 27:01Speaker 3: same record for Notre Dame, they keep inching up the
- 27:04Speaker 3: College Football playoff rankings, and maybe maybe there is a
- 27:08Speaker 3: conversation if you're talking about two ten and two teams,
- 27:12Speaker 3: does Miami somehow get there? But if they make the
- 27:16Speaker 3: conference championship game and they've got hurdles to it right now,
- 27:19Speaker 3: they're fifth, so they and they lose the tiebreaker to
- 27:23Speaker 3: SMU because they lost SMU, that's one of the teams
- 27:26Speaker 3: that they trail in the conference. Obviously, the best path
- 27:31Speaker 3: to the tournament is win the conference championship, but their
- 27:34Speaker 3: second best path is probably not to make the conference
- 27:37Speaker 3: championship game at allow because if you lose the conference
- 27:41Speaker 3: championship game, then you have no chance of leapfrogging Notre Dame,
- 27:45Speaker 3: where maybe there's a chance to leapfrog them if you
- 27:49Speaker 3: finish the season ten and two and the committee thinks
- 27:52Speaker 3: you were the best team in the ACC and you
- 27:54Speaker 3: did beat Notre Dame head to head and you didn't
- 27:57Speaker 3: lose a stinker game at the end of the regular
- 27:59Speaker 3: seas that taints your your your resume even further.
- 28:04Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, if you end up getting
- 28:07Speaker 4: there and then you are, you basically have that opportunity.
- 28:10Speaker 4: I mean I would I would much rather get there
- 28:13Speaker 4: and then try my hand at it.
- 28:15Speaker 1: If you lose.
- 28:16Speaker 4: If you lose and then it comes back to haunting,
- 28:18Speaker 4: you're like, man, what would have happened? Right well, crystal Ball,
- 28:21Speaker 4: what would have happened if we just didn't make it
- 28:23Speaker 4: and then everything else played out the way that it
- 28:25Speaker 4: plays out, and you maybe would have made it. And
- 28:28Speaker 4: yet I know the last thing you want to do
- 28:31Speaker 4: is leave it into the committee's hand.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean obviously you're going to try to
- 28:34Speaker 3: keep it in your hands and win it all. I'm
- 28:36Speaker 3: just saying, like in big pictures, step away from it.
- 28:39Speaker 1: It's probably better for them.
- 28:43Speaker 3: The second best route is probably for them not to
- 28:45Speaker 3: make the conference championship game at all. Then you look
- 28:48Speaker 3: at the SEC and everybody thinks, oh man, Alabama is
- 28:52Speaker 3: in trouble. Alabama is the team in the SEC that
- 28:55Speaker 3: actually controls its own destiny. If Alabama beats Auburn, they're in,
- 29:02Speaker 3: and they only have one conference loss, and they beat
- 29:05Speaker 3: Georgia head to head, and they win all tiebreakers against
- 29:08Speaker 3: Ole Miss. So the only thing they don't have a
- 29:12Speaker 3: tiebreaker over is Texas A and M because they're undefeated.
- 29:15Speaker 3: But if Texas A and M loses to Texas next week,
- 29:19Speaker 3: Alabama even jumps them. So Alabama actually is in fantastic
- 29:25Speaker 3: position to make the tournament because they play a cream
- 29:30Speaker 3: puff this week and Auburn's not any good this year.
- 29:33Speaker 3: So Alabama, despite their tumble from last week and despite
- 29:38Speaker 3: having a bad out of conference loss to Florida State,
- 29:42Speaker 3: actually are in great position to win it. And yet
- 29:45Speaker 3: a lot of people think that they're on the on
- 29:47Speaker 3: the on the ledge of maybe getting left out by
- 29:51Speaker 3: the committee. No, Alabama kind of controls its own destiny
- 29:54Speaker 3: as well. All they got to do is win their
- 29:56Speaker 3: next game against Auburn, and Alabama's in the conference championship game.
- 30:01Speaker 4: The way in which the committee it looks like they're
- 30:04Speaker 4: doing things right now when they're rnking teams is like,
- 30:07Speaker 4: how bad are your losses?
- 30:08Speaker 1: Right?
- 30:08Speaker 4: And they compare that to other stuff. Well, once the
- 30:10Speaker 4: entire resumes of these guys are coming out, then they're
- 30:13Speaker 4: gonna put the full gravity of how good are your wins?
- 30:16Speaker 4: And the fact that they beat Georgia is a big one.
- 30:19Speaker 4: I mean that's gonna weigh heavy in their favor because
- 30:21Speaker 4: Georgia's not going anywhere.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Georgia's right up there. I mean, they're they're one of
- 30:25Speaker 1: the top teams.
- 30:25Speaker 4: I think everybody knows that, regardless of how that game went,
- 30:29Speaker 4: and if you beat them head to head, then it's
- 30:31Speaker 4: gonna it's gonna carry a lot of weight.
- 30:33Speaker 3: I don't know though, if it's gonna be a committee decision,
- 30:36Speaker 3: because if they I think, they control their own destiny
- 30:39Speaker 3: to get to the conference championship game, they win it,
- 30:42Speaker 3: they're obviously in. But if they lose, now they've got
- 30:46Speaker 3: three losses, now you do. I mean, it's gonna be
- 30:50Speaker 3: hard to be a three.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Loss team and to get into the tournament this year.
- 30:53Speaker 3: So I think the best news for Alabama is that
- 30:56Speaker 3: they control their own destiny. The bad news is you
- 31:00Speaker 3: better not lose a game, you know, down the stretch,
- 31:04Speaker 3: because then you're not getting in or potentially might not
- 31:07Speaker 3: get in. All right, Coming up next, no cliche Keys
- 31:10Speaker 3: to victory for you on Chuck and Buck Sports Radio
- 31:13Speaker 3: ninety three point three kha RFM checking Buck Radio program.
- 31:16Speaker 3: That's right, we give you a key to a Seahawks
- 31:19Speaker 3: victory against the Tennessee Titans this week without using the
- 31:22Speaker 3: old cliches. You know, all three phases, winning the trenches,
- 31:27Speaker 3: win the turnover battle, that all that garbage. So we
- 31:32Speaker 3: have to be unique and different and specific with our
- 31:35Speaker 3: keys to victory.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Bucket, show us how it's done.
- 31:38Speaker 4: I kind of feel like it would almost have to
- 31:40Speaker 4: be a cliche in order for them to not win
- 31:42Speaker 4: this ballgame, like they would have to turn it over
- 31:44Speaker 4: five times or something. But I'm just going to say,
- 31:47Speaker 4: just the defense, just continue to play the way you are.
- 31:50Speaker 4: I mean, the defense has been good against good teams,
- 31:55Speaker 4: good offensive teams. Last week was another one of the
- 31:58Speaker 4: situations where you come out of that game you weren't
- 32:01Speaker 4: feeling bad about that side of the ball. I mean,
- 32:03Speaker 4: if there was anything, it was the Sam Darnold situation.
- 32:06Speaker 1: To me.
- 32:07Speaker 4: The defense went went toe to toe and basically outmatched
- 32:10Speaker 4: a Rams offense. This is like the exact opposite of
- 32:13Speaker 4: the Rams offense. This is if you just go out
- 32:16Speaker 4: there and you can impose your will on these guys,
- 32:19Speaker 4: I think you can just kind of make them cower
- 32:22Speaker 4: a little bit and maybe tuck their tail by halftime.
- 32:25Speaker 4: And so I'm just going to say, just in general,
- 32:27Speaker 4: just defense. Just keep playing the way you have been.
- 32:29Speaker 4: It shouldn't be too terribly difficult, but you got to
- 32:32Speaker 4: go out there and do it right off the bat
- 32:34Speaker 4: and kind of just let them know that you're there
- 32:35Speaker 4: to play hardball.
- 32:36Speaker 1: And if they do that, I think that they run
- 32:38Speaker 1: away with this thing.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Yeah, Titans are last, and points scored last, and rushing
- 32:43Speaker 3: yards last and sacks allowed. Rookie quarterback's been running for
- 32:47Speaker 3: his life all season long in cam Ward and now
- 32:50Speaker 3: he has to go up against the Mike McDonald mind
- 32:53Speaker 3: on defense, not to mention a very talented defense as well. Yeah, well,
- 32:58Speaker 3: I think I had two key he's written down.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Certainly.
- 33:01Speaker 3: One of them was just keeping cam Ward confused, and
- 33:06Speaker 3: I think that speaks to Bucky's point, Ashley.
- 33:09Speaker 1: What's your key to victory? Yeah?
- 33:10Speaker 6: I had two as well, in defense obviously being one,
- 33:12Speaker 6: especially if they're going to have the shutout like Greg
- 33:14Speaker 6: predicted yesterday, So you got to have the defense there.
- 33:16Speaker 6: But I'm going to go with the offensive line and
- 33:19Speaker 6: just the uncertainties that we've got there, just to be
- 33:22Speaker 6: a little different, right.
- 33:23Speaker 5: Sam Darnold had a rough game last week.
- 33:25Speaker 6: He was pressured quite a bit, so I think if
- 33:27Speaker 6: we can get these guys that are going to be
- 33:30Speaker 6: kind of pluck, you know, band aids to our for
- 33:33Speaker 6: our current offensive line situation, if they can step up
- 33:36Speaker 6: protect Sam, I'd like to see him be able to
- 33:38Speaker 6: have a very good game and kind of leave last
- 33:42Speaker 6: week's game in the past.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Well, if there's anybody on the Tennessee Titans team that's
- 33:47Speaker 3: good to great, it's Jeffrey Simmons.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:49Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden, you're going to be
- 33:51Speaker 3: starting with three interior offensive linemen that are backups. Yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 3: and so that creates quite the whole I mean, if
- 33:59Speaker 3: ever there a week and this will be my key
- 34:02Speaker 3: where it's good that we're talking about Ken Walker so
- 34:06Speaker 3: much this week.
- 34:08Speaker 1: This is the week he needs to go out. Just domin. Yes,
- 34:10Speaker 1: please take some heat off.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Of Sam Donald and just establish yourself with the run
- 34:16Speaker 3: outside zone.
- 34:17Speaker 1: It run away from Jeffrey Simmons. If you have to
- 34:21Speaker 1: ola with.
- 34:21Speaker 3: Timmy's better in the run block game than he is
- 34:24Speaker 3: the pass block game. It would be nice to keep
- 34:27Speaker 3: the Titans from being able to put pressure on Sam
- 34:30Speaker 3: Donald up the middle because they can't do anything to
- 34:33Speaker 3: stop our run game. So a lot of talk about
- 34:36Speaker 3: let's just hand over the running game to ken Walker
- 34:38Speaker 3: this week.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Well, let's do it.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Let's just hand over the run game to ken Walker
- 34:42Speaker 3: this week. Hopefully he runs wild and Sam Donald only
- 34:46Speaker 3: has to throw like twelve times this week to kind
- 34:49Speaker 3: of get him back on track. So I'm just gonna say,
- 34:52Speaker 3: ken Walker being what we want in Walker to be
- 34:56Speaker 3: is going to be my no cliche keat of victory,
- 34:58Speaker 3: Greg Bell, that's right. He he predicted a shutout? How
- 35:02Speaker 3: many times? Yeah, we hear a analyst predicting a shutout
- 35:06Speaker 3: in an NFL game. That's how dominant he expects the
- 35:09Speaker 3: defense to be this Sunday.
- 35:11Speaker 1: We'll talk to him next.
