It's a big one tonight, as the Los Angeles Rams travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. MJ can't stress enough how big this game is, but what's crazy is if the Seahawks win, the Niners still have a chance at the one seed... Could Tom Brady return to the league and play some ball, well lets hear from the GOAT himself as MJ hits to all fields.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lumenfield getting ready.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
All the shows will be here today, Ian Ferness, Softy
and Dick as well. And this is the biggest game
of the twenty twenty five NFL regular season by far
and away, not being hyperbolic whatsoever by saying that, it
just is. You got two teams that are eleven and three,
you have the division on the line, you have the
(00:22):
possible number one seed on the line, And for the Seahawks,
this is the ultimate litmus test to show are you
ready to play with the big boys and get it
done and finally beat Matthew Stafford for the first time
(00:45):
since he has come to the La Rams as he
when he plays is six to zero along with Sean
McVay against the Seahawks in the Stafford era.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So it's what we wanted. This is it.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's it's nice and I love it because it's exactly
And there's some talk that the Rams had trouble getting
in here last night travel plans.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh no, I hate to hear that.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I hope they didn't experience too much inconvenience and lack
of sleep for tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I hate to hear that that happened.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But the way the weather is tonight plays exactly in
Seattle's hands. It's what we want and what we need. Cold, windy, rainy.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And something that they're not used to.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And they're nice climate condition so far stadium digs that
they get to play in nine times a year.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So this is it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I mean, I can't believe it's here. I can't believe
this season has flown by and here we are. I
remember being over here for Week one when the Mariners
were making a run towards the you know, they were
going to clinch the American League West Division, and they
(02:07):
were playing I believe that day the Tigers were in town.
Maybe I'm getting my days mixed up anyway, But when
the Mariners were on their stretch run to winning the
AL West and clinching the two seed American League playoffs,
Week one, rock Party in San Francisco was in here.
And here we are, and this is game fifteen, and
(02:30):
and for me, I am I'm psyched, and I know
everybody out there is as well, because this is.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What I mean. Here's the thing about it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm getting texts from everybody and people are like, oh
my god, and it's amazing. That's when you know how
big this game is. That when people around the country.
I mean, this is pretty much the super Bowl of
the regular season.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's no bigger game.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, we've had big games, you know, to start year
Baltimore at Buffalo on Sunday Night football. And right now
the Ravens, if they don't take care of business, including
Sunday Night against the New England Patriots, they could be
on the outside looking in.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Cansey Chiefs will not be.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
In the playoffs for the first time in the Patrick
Mahomes era. The last time they didn't make the playoffs
with twenty fourteen. And I truly believe that this is
tonight what we're going to see. When John Schneider decided
(03:35):
to move on from Pete Carroll a couple years ago
and hire Mike McDonald from Baltimore as the head coach
to take over for the only Super Bowl Championship winning
coach in franchise history, this is exactly why tonight's tonight.
And yeah, we can go back to a month ago
(03:56):
and we could talk about Sam Darnold's four interceptions. Here's
a not just a prediction, to quote my former boss
Paul Hayman in ECW, here's a spoiler alert. Sam Donald
will not throw four interceptions tonight. Sam Donald will not
throw three interceptions tonight, and I'm hoping he doesn't turn
(04:16):
the ball or throw one interception tonight. So if he doesn't,
how are the Rams going to overcome this ferocious defense
without Devontae Adams. They haven't announced it yet, Devanta Adams
is not playing tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He's either's no way he's playing tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And I mean, listen, you know, and I do know
mcveigh's it's a gamesmanship type thing. Oh, we're gonna wait
till the game. Now, No, you can wait till the
game starts.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You can do it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But we know Devonte Adams, your red zone, the number
one red zone threat in the NFL. It's got the
most touchdowns at any pass catcher in the NFL in
the red zone. He's not playing tonight and that's a
huge and absolutely monumental loss for the La Rams.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Charles Cross, as we.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Heard in the headlines, kid called it yesterday or the
day before. Not only is he out tonight, he's out
two to four weeks. So we'll the only hope that
he can come back the final regular season game of
the year at San Francisco, or maybe even if he's not, then.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Then let's look for the divisional playoff round. You know U.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So I didn't say wildcard because I don't want to
think about wildcard. I will have my prediction on this game.
I've gone through it, I've analyzed it. I will have
my prediction on this game coming up at eleven forty
five for the MJ Pick of the Day, and I
will tell you right now, let me just go ahead
(05:58):
and say it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I will call the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
MJ winning pick of the day and it will be
on this game.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Gotten a chance.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Lee Sterling and I do picking the locks every Friday
night at seven o'clock, and we will have that obviously
our show tomorrow night at seven o'clock. It will be
replayed on Saturday at eight in the morning, so we're
psyched for that. But we'll see tonight is it? Tonight
is everything? And I just love the fact that since
(06:31):
I've been here just to see the love and how
much Seattle.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Really supports the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And you know, because I when I go to different
places and you know, not just spending a couple of
days there, but you get a chance to live there,
you see, Like, Okay, having lived in Atlanta, Tampa, Charlotte,
Boston aka New England, how much you know? And of
all those cities, certainly, I would say Atlanta is the
(07:04):
weakest pro sports town that I've ever lived in.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And I lived in Miami as well.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's not the greatest pro sports town either, but they
don't support the football team there. Here in Seattle, you
can't go anywhere without Right now, I'm looking at it
right now, right at Jimmy's on First I'm looking at
a bud Light truck going by official sponsor of the
Seattle Seahawks. It's got bud Light Seattle Seahawks cans on it.
(07:30):
That's what I'm talking. You can't go anywhere in the
city without seeing Hawks, and that's what I love. This
is a football town and I like it. It's a
blue collar football town, very smart town. And tonight is
the night. Can we slay the big blue dragon that
(07:51):
is known as the La Rams? Can we kind of
to quote the late great Jim Morrison from the Greatest
American band of all time and don't give to me
on the text line, ooh Erosmith whatever. Aerosmith would have
been nothing without run DMC because their career was in
the toilets until run DMC decided to do them a
(08:12):
solid and doing a collaboration with them on walk this way.
Nobody compares to the doors Rest in peace, Jim Morrison.
But when Jim Morrison had that great song, break on
through to the other side. This is what the Seahawks
need to do tonight, to break on through the other side.
Because here's what after this game. To me, it's gonna
(08:35):
tell a lot about this team because even though there's
been quality wins this year at Jacksonville, at Pittsburgh home
on the night of the ALCS Game seven against the
Houston Texans and handle that team and in a very sloppy way,
turnovers and whatnot. I believe Will Anderson he sacked Sam Darnold.
(08:56):
I don't know if they had a safety or was
close to the end zone and they might have got
a saftart.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
No, they had touchdown on that. I believe they had
a touchdown on he fumbled the.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ball on the end zone. No turnovers tonight. That's the
key to the Seahawks tonight. Turnover free football. If they
do that, the defense is like death in taxes. It increases,
it gets better every game every year, and the defense
will show up tonight, no questions about that. So now
it comes down to what are you going to do
(09:25):
on offense? Can you establish the running game they did
in the first game. They ran for one hundred and
thirty five yards in the first game, just around four
yards of carry three point nine to be exact.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Can you do that against this RAMS team?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I think you can look at what happened against
the Carolina Panthers a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
There are many dents in this Rams armor.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But now it's up to Clint Kubiak and Mike McDonald
to exploit them and to show exactly what this team
needs to do to kind of show that that fine
line are the Seahawks. Here's the narrative tomorrow Tomorrow's show
is this Are the Seahawks a contender or are they
(10:12):
a pretender? We'll find out tonight. We will definitely find
out tonight, and that to me speaks everything.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This game is everything the division.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
This is the NFC West Division Championship game, no.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And the way you take care of and handle business
tonight will set this team up in January.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You win tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I believe this team at that point will win out,
which means NFC West champs and the number one seed
equaling a buy, which means when everybody is battling it
out on wild Card weekend, the Hawks will just be
chilling waiting till they host whommever the lowest seed advances
(11:05):
on the divisional playoff round. But tonight, one person in particular,
We're gonna find out so much about Sam Darnold. This
is why John Schneider decided to move on from Gino Smith.
I think we can all say and you look at
(11:25):
the metrics and listen, Sam's one of the league leaders
and turnovers along with to a tongue of I Loa
and Gino Smith. But Sam's a winner. He won fourteen
games last year with the Minnesota Vikings, and he has
a chance to do the same this year with the
Seattle Seahawks. He's a winner. But is he gonna be
(11:48):
big game Sam or sgs small game Sam tonight? And
I'm hoping it's gonna be the first and not the latter.
That's what I'm hoping. But tonight it's everything on Sam Darnold.
I believe he's prepared. Maybe we'll look back at the
game against the forty four year old Grandpa Philip Rivers
they call Peepa, And we'll look at that game as
(12:11):
a blessing and say, all right, it was a wake
up call that even a forty four year old quarterback
who hasn't thrown a ball in five years in an
actual professional football game, can hang with the best defense
in the National Football League and have a chance to
win it and walk off that field with less than
(12:31):
a minute to go with the lead.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's what happened on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So also keat to tonight the best version of this
team needs to show up. I need the best Kenny Walker,
I need the best Gray Zabel, we need the best
Anthony Bradford. And you know those PFF grades of sixty
seven and sixty one tonight, they better be in the twenties.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Cuz if they're not, then this team's not going to
be able to run the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And if they're not gonna be able to run the
ball and they put it all on Sam Darnold, then
it's gonna be tough to win this game. So it
tonight is to me the contender pretender game for the Seahawks,
and that will be the narrative tomorrow around the country
(13:21):
on all the national shows. First take, I mean all
of them, Get Up, you name it, NFL Network, whatever
the hell they call their morning show.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know, I don't watch, and I don't care
about it. Whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Tomorrow will be like, oh, you know Seahawks. Yeah, yeah,
they can't beat any playoff teams in the NFC. Oho
and four against playoff teams in the NFC if they
lose tonight, because they've already lost to the Niners, the Bucks,
and the Rams the first time. Yeah, now they're not
They're just pretenders, they're not real. Tonight's everything to me.
(13:54):
Tonight is a playoff game. Tonight is everything. And I
know these guys are gonna come out, They're gonna be right.
And the weather couldn't be worse for the La Rams.
No DeVante Adams, unfortunately, no Charles Cross. But it is
what it is, you know, next man up, and that's
gonna be a key tonight for this team. They've gotta
(14:15):
find a way to get it done and protect Sam
Darnald and and you know what, one of the things.
And it'll be interesting to see what Clint Kubiak has
on his play call sheet.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Tonight because.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I want to see something in terms of maybe Sam
Darnold will employ something in terms of him being a.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Guy that will have a lot of quick.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Passes at the line of scrimmage t JSI to Cooper
Cup to Aj Barner to get this thing going as
what the Philip is, what Philip Rivers and the Indiapolis
Colts did to the Seahawks on Sunday, Maybe and employ
that a little bit. If they can't get this run
game going, well, maybe they'll employ that. Even if they
can get the run game going. Nonetheless, this is it.
(15:09):
Tonight is the NFC West Championship Game, and I'm here
for all of it. Injected it into my veins. Now
I've only been here for ten months, but I've made
some observations about certain things, and i want to let
(15:32):
you know about it because if I don't do it,
I'm not doing my job and I'm not being honest
with the audience. And this is one of the many
reasons why millions and millions of people have stopped and
dropped their subscriptions to newspapers, not only here in Seattle
no longer. I mean, it's been a long time since
(15:54):
the post Intelligencer has been around. There's only one newspaper
of public record that is here, and that's the Seattle Times. So, kid,
I'm gonna ask you a question. Are you ready all right?
What would you think would be the number one headline
(16:18):
today in the Seattle Times Sports section? The physical paper
that I don't know, but people some people still subscribe
to you. I don't know anybody who still subscribed to you.
But what would you think it would be? Or the
digital subscription as well? What would I mean, it's a
trick question. It's not a trick question, but it's pretty rhetorical.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What would it be? Kid? Today?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What would the number one headline be in Seattle on
the Seattle Times Sports section? What would you think if
you were the editor in chief of the Seattle Times?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
What would it be?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Rams Verse Seahawks?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I mean, it's it's pretty much a rhetorical question. Absolutely
absolutely well. I was alerted this morning from our own
Dave Softie Maler, and I would never have known this
until I saw it the top of the headlines of
the Seattle Times. Washington running back Muhammad will enter transfer portal.
(17:23):
That's the number one story. But kid, I'm not done
that's oh oh wait, there's more above the Seattle Seahawks
and Rams.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That is above them is.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The Seattle women's hockey team, the Torrent, who got a
four to one victory over the Ottawa Charge last night.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
That is above the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Rams game, which is actually leading the A block all
over and the A block for TV people, if you're talking,
if you're going dead up today, if you're going to
Steven A. Smith's first take, if you're talking Pat McAfee
ESPN Sports Center, the number one top, the number one segment,
(18:16):
and the number one.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Topic is the Seahawks Rams.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We are at the epicenter of the entire sports universe tonight,
and they are below and you might not even know this,
the Seattle women's hockey team, the Torrent.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
There's your Seattle Times for you right there there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Why anybody subscribes to that fish rag is beyond the
realm of my comprehension.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But I want you to know, and I get it.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And a lot of people here have talked about you know, hey,
you know Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, and I don't
like those guys either.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
They don't give Seattle enough credit. Well tonight and this entire.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Week and especially today all over the country, everybody numero
uno topic on every sports talk radio station that after
they get through their local and every national network ESPN,
all their shows get up first. Take Pat McAfee part
(19:20):
of the interruption later today. All of them you named,
Colin Coward, you name it is the Seahawks and Rams
and they are below in their own town, below what
is known as the Seattle Torrent women's hockey team. That's
(19:40):
all you need to know about the Seattle Times. That's
all you need to know right then and there. I
that's the mic drop, that's my nas.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Ether on the Seattle Times.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I mean, I'm actually ashamed and embarrassed for the Seattle
Times that this actually happen.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You can go look it up. You can go look
it up.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's there, it's there, and it's a joke, an absolute joke.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And you should be ashamed over there, Seattle Times. You
should be. But then again, I mean, you know, I mean,
you are what you are.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
And this is why nobody subscribes to your dirt fish
rag anymore. That's why they just use it to wrap
fish at Pipe Place Market. That's the only reason why
it's pathetic. Can't even get headlights in their own town.
But nationally, like nationally it's number one every show you
turned on, it's it's just unfreaking believable. Yeah, softy h no.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Actually, Brian Emhauser, Hawks blogger was the one who tweeted
out and and he did a great job today. He said,
First thing, this is a newspaper for those who have
never seen one, and I like Brian's stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
He's really good.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Second thing, it's says a lot that on the day
of the biggest game for the Seahawks in a decade,
their stories are buried at the bottom. Will they finally
capture the city's attention tonight? Great job by Brian. I
got our chief engineer, Terry Ryan is just shaking his head.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He's growing born and raised here kid.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I mean seriously, seriously, like you know and listen, having
lived and having perspective in other cities and people hate
the Boston Globe. But I can tell you in the
last three years, I was there for the Tom Brady era,
which was his final three years. Even in July, if
(21:41):
the Red Sox are playing the Yankees, if Tom Brady
walked outside and I don't know put his sunglasses on.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
That was the headliner and the Boston Globe. They know
what sells.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Sorry today to disappoint the KJA listening audience. If I'm
not gonna talk about the Seattle Torrent, I'm gonna talk about.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
The Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, the team that has delivered one of only
two world titles in this city's history, along with the
SuperSonics in nineteen seventy nine. You're gonna have to forgive
me today. I'm not gonna talk Torrent the women's hockey team.
I'm gonna talk about Sam Darnold, JSN, Leonard Williams, Reek Woolen,
(22:32):
Devin Witherspoon against the Rams, and Matthew Stafford, who more
than likely will be the MVP. It's embarrassing. It's really embarrassing.
I mean, I'll just leave it at this. If I
was in the woods, or I was at home and
I ran out of toilet paper, I wouldn't use the
Seattle Times after a bout movement.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That tells you what I think about that dirt fish rag.
You're not gonna.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Put the number one team in this city on the headlines.
I mean, Adam Mohammad even that and during the transfer
portal is number one on the day of Seahawks rams.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
What a joke.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
And believe me, folks, I know I've been in a
bunch of cities, in a bunch of markets, so I
have a perspective unlike any host in the history of
this city.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Okay, So I can tell you, and I can.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Tell you right now that this is probably getting headlines
in other big cities newspapers more than it is its own,
and that ultimately is an indictment of the Seattle Times.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
But I digress. That'll be it. I've said my piece.
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I'm not gonna give them any further mentions because it's
certainly if you're not gonna respect the number one team
in this town, then you don't deserve any airtime on
this invaluable prime piece of real estate on sports radio
ninety three to three KJR between the hours of ten
am the one PM.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You just don't deserve it. And that's I'm embarrassed for
you. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And you know what, if somebody gives you a subscription
on the holidays to Seattle Times, do them a favor
and return it right away and give it back.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
To them because you don't want it, you don't need it.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
They don't respect the Seahawks on the day of what
is the biggest NFL regular season game of the entire year.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Wow, just wow.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
All right, we are live at Jimmy's on First and
coming up next. What does a win mean for the
Seahawks in terms of winning the division? And what would
a loss mean to the LA Rams tonight in terms
of them winning division? And conversely, what if the Hawks
don't take care of business tonight, what does it mean
(24:59):
for their divisional chances and their playoff chances.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
We'll be joined by.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
George Sedano coming up from ESPN LA at eleven. Live
at Jimmy's on First, Come on on, stop by. They
got great specials going on here. They do the Cup
of Coffee for Cooper Cup, Vanilla Vodka, white Chocolate, Laqueur Coffee,
the JSN Tellman, Gentleman, Jack Carpano, Sweet Vermouth, and bidders.
(25:25):
It's come on out. They got great food. Their breakfast
menus in full effect. They got biscuits and gravy, you
name it. We are live at Jimmy's on First and
we will be talking about the Seattle Seahawks all show
long right here on ninety three to three KGRFM, and
got on out to leave and and look back at
(25:48):
that kind of set precedent in my life of don't quit,
even if you're in a place that isn't exactly your wheelhouse,
your forte, don't quit. And I love it here and see,
but all I'm asking is just play the hits. I mean,
I know what everybody here wants to talk about, and
(26:10):
you should.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
The Seattle Seahawks are the Numero uno team in this city,
in this region. They are number one, and.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I mean they're the team who delivered the most recent
world title in twenty thirteen. And I've always admired the
Seahawks under Pete Carroll and John Schneider even prior to
that under Mike homb Grin when Walter Jones and Sean
Alexander and Hutchinson was here and all those guys, and
(26:41):
they went to the Super Bowl back in Detroit twenty
years ago in the hometown of Jerome Bettis. In case
you and no, I don't know if you know that
kid that week, I don't know if you heard this kid,
if you forgot did you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Know Jerome bettest kid is from Detroit? Did you know that? Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Okay, because the media let everybody know that, how I
don't know eight thousand times for two weeks going into
that game. Nonetheless, we're going to play the hits here
where the station for the fans and the people and everybody.
I don't care what you do for a living today.
I don't care if you're a neurosurgeon, if you're a lawyer,
(27:21):
you're a teacher, you're a construction worker.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I don't care if you're a drug dealer. Today.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
The number one topic in Seattle and throughout the entire
PNW region in America are the Seahawks and Rams, the
two number one in two teams in the power rankings
based on every metric that you can look at. And
that's what we should be talking about all show long.
(27:47):
I mean, that's it. I have a prediction coming up
at eleven forty five, George Sodano. He's a very powerful,
successful broadcaster. He got pulled into production meeting. He is
going to join us coming up at noon instead of eleven.
But I look forward to talking to my old guy,
my my guy, mister Johe Sadano who I've known for
(28:10):
twenty one years, twenty two years.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
In fact, my, oh my, how time flies? Oh my lord.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And to see the success that George has had in
his career in the meteoric ascent, You know what, kid,
I want to ask him, and I'm I'm just enamored
the one athlete in this world. And this will be
the only non Seahawks topic I talk about. Probably I'll
show he's interviewed Wemby Victor Wembayama multiple times, and I'm
(28:36):
just like, I gotta know what is like? What is
Wemby like in person? To seven foot six force of
nature that can just shoot threes like Larry effing Bird
and have the handles of Isaiah Thomas, the og from
(28:57):
the Bad Boy Pistons, no disrespect from the guy from
you Dubbin Tacoma. And like, I'm just a neighbor. I
want to ask George about Wemby. And I can't wait
to see Wemby in person because they've never seen him
play in person yet. And I look forward to seeing
Wemby at Climate Pledge Arena Knock Knock on Wood in
(29:18):
a few years. Okay, Adam Silver, I'm talking to you
all right, but I'm happy for Sadonna, what the success that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
He has had in his career.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
But this game right now, and and this might surprise
a lot of you, but I want to let you know.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Here are the numbers for tonight. So if the Rams.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Win tonight, they have a ninety three percent chance to
win the NFC West.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Now, how about this.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
If the Seahawks win tonight, and by the way, if
the Seahawks lose tonight, it's over, they have a two
percent chance to win the NFC West Division, which I
mean at that point you can cancel Christmas, if you
know what I mean. Now, here's the interesting thing, kid,
I'm gonna ask you another question. If the Seahawks win tonight,
(30:16):
what would you think they are percentage is to win
the NFC West Division would.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Be at probably eighty nine ninety percent.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
That's exactly what I thought, kid, You ready for this.
If the Seahawks win tonight, the only it says they
have a forty eight percent chance to win the division.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Oh yeah, the Niners, the Niners.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
And I'm like, WTF. What So they win the night
and they have.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
A forty only a forty eight a less than fifty
percent chance to win the division with two games to go.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Wow. And here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
If the Hawks win knock on Wood, and we all
hope that they do, the Rams still have a somewhat
They have a twenty nine percent chance to win the
NFC West. So even winning tonight for the Hawks doesn't
ensure anything. You still have less than a fifty percent
chance to win the division. So that's something to keep
(31:20):
in mind. Tonight, I was shocked when I saw that.
Shocked that you win the game the night you got
two to go. I'm thinking, but I mean, to quote
Tony Montana from Scarface, those cocker roaches aka the San
Francisco forty nine ers. You can't kill them, man, you
(31:42):
cannot kill them. They got head to head on us
in week one and we got chance for a receipt
in week eighteen, the final game of the season. But yeah,
so there it is. So winning tonight, the Hawks still
have only a forty eight percent chance to win the
NFC West. Don't ask me how that works, but that's.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
The way it is. I just I'm shocked about that.
All right.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well, I mentioned if Philip Rivers had any type of success,
what would that mean for the retired guys. Tom Brady
the goat, he has something he's gonna say, hitting the
all fields. Coming up next Cole Musgrove Seahawks Wire at eleven,
George Sodano ESPN LA Broadcaster Extraordinaire at noon Live at
(32:33):
Jimmy's on first, come on by, don't talk to me
about the Chicago, excuse me about the Seattle Torrent along
with Christopher Kidd M Jay in the midday.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Would you be ready to go right now?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
I whoop right now? Would absolutely I could go out
there and play.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Give me a month.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
I mean I could go play with anybody day and
like I said, I took care of my body. Great,
I could do at all. What I wouldn't want to
do is make the commitment to play. Cause it's like
i'd say, foot, it's like basketball season. Do you really
want to commit to playing eighty two games? That takes
a lot of training, And it's like, I don't want
to do that many.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
If you could come back for just the finals, Okay, yeah,
for that's the go Tom Brady. Oh, I believe what
Philip Rivers did on Sunday. He didn't do a whole
hell of a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
He threw only for one hundred and twenty seven yards,
but he hung in there and had a chance to
win the game against the best defense in the NFL
at Seattle. Oh, I believe Brady could come in the
league and be top ten in passer rating, no doubt.
I mean, the dude's still eating avocado toast and avocado
(33:43):
if he allows himself to have an avocado ice cream,
so all that stuff, and he's still on that pliability
Alex Guerrero, all that that whole TV twelve stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
So oh, I totally kid.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Do you think Brady could come in the league and
win a couple of games in uh good doing? So?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I think if if all things needed and he wanted to, yeah,
he probably still could. But he needs to just chill,
relax and enjoy Phantom time and all that.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
No, no, Kitty's making more money now talking about the
game than he did playing the game and winning six
Super Bowls.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
But he loves the game and you can tell, oh,
he could care less. He'd do it for free. I
think if he wanted to, he would.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He would.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Man, that's a good that's a great point. He definitely
definitely would, And I'm you know, oh, no doubt. I
mean I mean, Brady's only been gone for a couple
of years. It's not like it's been you know, it's
it's just a thirty year out of the league.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
So yeah, but oh, he could definitely, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
And I love when you see him in the games
that he does pre game and he's throwing to receivers
and guys want to catch the ball from him. That's
just the ultimate sign of respect and admiration that you know.
I mean, listen, man, he's not too far removed from
this game and.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All I could totally see it.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Cam Newton still in great shape, don't know, you know,
he didn't look great at the end there, but yeah,
I mean, you know, when you've got guys in this
league that you've never even heard of his backup quarterbacks,
We're not talking about Jimmy Garoppolo and Drew Locke. We're
talking about garbage qbs. That MaTx Brosmer, who couldn't start
(35:20):
on any of the playoff teams in college football playing
this weekend, including the you okay, couldn't start at Oregon
over Dante More. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, Max Brosmer
really really all right?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Coming up next we will.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Talk to my main man, Cole Musgrove from Seehawks Wire.
I can assure you if you go to seahawkswire dot com.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Hey, you're gonna see Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
You won't see Sorry, Seattle Torrent women's hockey team.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
We'll talk to Cole Musgrove.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Coming up next, the MJ Winning Pick of the Day,
brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. Suquamash Clearwater Casino Resort
coming up at eleven forty five.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
George Sodano at noon.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Christopher Kidd live at Jimmy's on First right here on
ninety three to three KGr Fmily
Lumenfield getting ready.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
All the shows will be here today, Ian Ferness, Softy
and Dick as well. And this is the biggest game
of the twenty twenty five NFL regular season by far
and away, not being hyperbolic whatsoever by saying that, it
just is. You got two teams that are eleven and three,
you have the division on the line, you have the
(00:22):
possible number one seed on the line, And for the Seahawks,
this is the ultimate litmus test to show are you
ready to play with the big boys and get it
done and finally beat Matthew Stafford for the first time
(00:45):
since he has come to the La Rams as he
when he plays is six to zero along with Sean
McVay against the Seahawks in the Stafford era.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So it's what we wanted. This is it.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's it's nice and I love it because it's exactly
And there's some talk that the Rams had trouble getting
in here last night travel plans.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh no, I hate to hear that.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I hope they didn't experience too much inconvenience and lack
of sleep for tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I hate to hear that that happened.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But the way the weather is tonight plays exactly in
Seattle's hands. It's what we want and what we need. Cold, windy, rainy.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And something that they're not used to.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And they're nice climate condition so far stadium digs that
they get to play in nine times a year.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So this is it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I mean, I can't believe it's here. I can't believe
this season has flown by and here we are. I
remember being over here for Week one when the Mariners
were making a run towards the you know, they were
going to clinch the American League West Division, and they
(02:07):
were playing I believe that day the Tigers were in town.
Maybe I'm getting my days mixed up anyway, But when
the Mariners were on their stretch run to winning the
AL West and clinching the two seed American League playoffs,
Week one, rock Party in San Francisco was in here.
And here we are, and this is game fifteen, and
(02:30):
and for me, I am I'm psyched, and I know
everybody out there is as well, because this is.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What I mean. Here's the thing about it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm getting texts from everybody and people are like, oh
my god, and it's amazing. That's when you know how
big this game is. That when people around the country.
I mean, this is pretty much the super Bowl of
the regular season.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's no bigger game.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, we've had big games, you know, to start year
Baltimore at Buffalo on Sunday Night football. And right now
the Ravens, if they don't take care of business, including
Sunday Night against the New England Patriots, they could be
on the outside looking in.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Cansey Chiefs will not be.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
In the playoffs for the first time in the Patrick
Mahomes era. The last time they didn't make the playoffs
with twenty fourteen. And I truly believe that this is
tonight what we're going to see. When John Schneider decided
(03:35):
to move on from Pete Carroll a couple years ago
and hire Mike McDonald from Baltimore as the head coach
to take over for the only Super Bowl Championship winning
coach in franchise history, this is exactly why tonight's tonight.
And yeah, we can go back to a month ago
(03:56):
and we could talk about Sam Darnold's four interceptions. Here's
a not just a prediction, to quote my former boss
Paul Hayman in ECW, here's a spoiler alert. Sam Donald
will not throw four interceptions tonight. Sam Donald will not
throw three interceptions tonight, and I'm hoping he doesn't turn
(04:16):
the ball or throw one interception tonight. So if he doesn't,
how are the Rams going to overcome this ferocious defense
without Devontae Adams. They haven't announced it yet, Devanta Adams
is not playing tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He's either's no way he's playing tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And I mean, listen, you know, and I do know
mcveigh's it's a gamesmanship type thing. Oh, we're gonna wait
till the game. Now, No, you can wait till the
game starts.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You can do it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But we know Devonte Adams, your red zone, the number
one red zone threat in the NFL. It's got the
most touchdowns at any pass catcher in the NFL in
the red zone. He's not playing tonight and that's a
huge and absolutely monumental loss for the La Rams.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Charles Cross, as we.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Heard in the headlines, kid called it yesterday or the
day before. Not only is he out tonight, he's out
two to four weeks. So we'll the only hope that
he can come back the final regular season game of
the year at San Francisco, or maybe even if he's not, then.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Then let's look for the divisional playoff round. You know U.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So I didn't say wildcard because I don't want to
think about wildcard. I will have my prediction on this game.
I've gone through it, I've analyzed it. I will have
my prediction on this game coming up at eleven forty
five for the MJ Pick of the Day, and I
will tell you right now, let me just go ahead
(05:58):
and say it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I will call the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
MJ winning pick of the day and it will be
on this game.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Gotten a chance.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Lee Sterling and I do picking the locks every Friday
night at seven o'clock, and we will have that obviously
our show tomorrow night at seven o'clock. It will be
replayed on Saturday at eight in the morning, so we're
psyched for that. But we'll see tonight is it? Tonight
is everything? And I just love the fact that since
(06:31):
I've been here just to see the love and how
much Seattle.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Really supports the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And you know, because I when I go to different
places and you know, not just spending a couple of
days there, but you get a chance to live there,
you see, Like, Okay, having lived in Atlanta, Tampa, Charlotte,
Boston aka New England, how much you know? And of
all those cities, certainly, I would say Atlanta is the
(07:04):
weakest pro sports town that I've ever lived in.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And I lived in Miami as well.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's not the greatest pro sports town either, but they
don't support the football team there. Here in Seattle, you
can't go anywhere without Right now, I'm looking at it
right now, right at Jimmy's on First I'm looking at
a bud Light truck going by official sponsor of the
Seattle Seahawks. It's got bud Light Seattle Seahawks cans on it.
(07:30):
That's what I'm talking. You can't go anywhere in the
city without seeing Hawks, and that's what I love. This
is a football town and I like it. It's a
blue collar football town, very smart town. And tonight is
the night. Can we slay the big blue dragon that
(07:51):
is known as the La Rams? Can we kind of
to quote the late great Jim Morrison from the Greatest
American band of all time and don't give to me
on the text line, ooh Erosmith whatever. Aerosmith would have
been nothing without run DMC because their career was in
the toilets until run DMC decided to do them a
(08:12):
solid and doing a collaboration with them on walk this way.
Nobody compares to the doors Rest in peace, Jim Morrison.
But when Jim Morrison had that great song, break on
through to the other side. This is what the Seahawks
need to do tonight, to break on through the other side.
Because here's what after this game. To me, it's gonna
(08:35):
tell a lot about this team because even though there's
been quality wins this year at Jacksonville, at Pittsburgh home
on the night of the ALCS Game seven against the
Houston Texans and handle that team and in a very sloppy way,
turnovers and whatnot. I believe Will Anderson he sacked Sam Darnold.
(08:56):
I don't know if they had a safety or was
close to the end zone and they might have got
a saftart.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
No, they had touchdown on that. I believe they had
a touchdown on he fumbled the.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ball on the end zone. No turnovers tonight. That's the
key to the Seahawks tonight. Turnover free football. If they
do that, the defense is like death in taxes. It increases,
it gets better every game every year, and the defense
will show up tonight, no questions about that. So now
it comes down to what are you going to do
(09:25):
on offense? Can you establish the running game they did
in the first game. They ran for one hundred and
thirty five yards in the first game, just around four
yards of carry three point nine to be exact.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Can you do that against this RAMS team?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I think you can look at what happened against
the Carolina Panthers a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
There are many dents in this Rams armor.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But now it's up to Clint Kubiak and Mike McDonald
to exploit them and to show exactly what this team
needs to do to kind of show that that fine
line are the Seahawks. Here's the narrative tomorrow Tomorrow's show
is this Are the Seahawks a contender or are they
(10:12):
a pretender? We'll find out tonight. We will definitely find
out tonight, and that to me speaks everything.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This game is everything the division.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
This is the NFC West Division Championship game, no.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And the way you take care of and handle business
tonight will set this team up in January.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You win tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I believe this team at that point will win out,
which means NFC West champs and the number one seed
equaling a buy, which means when everybody is battling it
out on wild Card weekend, the Hawks will just be
chilling waiting till they host whommever the lowest seed advances
(11:05):
on the divisional playoff round. But tonight, one person in particular,
We're gonna find out so much about Sam Darnold. This
is why John Schneider decided to move on from Gino Smith.
I think we can all say and you look at
(11:25):
the metrics and listen, Sam's one of the league leaders
and turnovers along with to a tongue of I Loa
and Gino Smith. But Sam's a winner. He won fourteen
games last year with the Minnesota Vikings, and he has
a chance to do the same this year with the
Seattle Seahawks. He's a winner. But is he gonna be
(11:48):
big game Sam or sgs small game Sam tonight? And
I'm hoping it's gonna be the first and not the latter.
That's what I'm hoping. But tonight it's everything on Sam Darnold.
I believe he's prepared. Maybe we'll look back at the
game against the forty four year old Grandpa Philip Rivers
they call Peepa, And we'll look at that game as
(12:11):
a blessing and say, all right, it was a wake
up call that even a forty four year old quarterback
who hasn't thrown a ball in five years in an
actual professional football game, can hang with the best defense
in the National Football League and have a chance to
win it and walk off that field with less than
(12:31):
a minute to go with the lead.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's what happened on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So also keat to tonight the best version of this
team needs to show up. I need the best Kenny Walker,
I need the best Gray Zabel, we need the best
Anthony Bradford. And you know those PFF grades of sixty
seven and sixty one tonight, they better be in the twenties.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Cuz if they're not, then this team's not going to
be able to run the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And if they're not gonna be able to run the
ball and they put it all on Sam Darnold, then
it's gonna be tough to win this game. So it
tonight is to me the contender pretender game for the Seahawks,
and that will be the narrative tomorrow around the country
(13:21):
on all the national shows. First take, I mean all
of them, Get Up, you name it, NFL Network, whatever
the hell they call their morning show.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know, I don't watch, and I don't care
about it. Whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Tomorrow will be like, oh, you know Seahawks. Yeah, yeah,
they can't beat any playoff teams in the NFC. Oho
and four against playoff teams in the NFC if they
lose tonight, because they've already lost to the Niners, the Bucks,
and the Rams the first time. Yeah, now they're not
They're just pretenders, they're not real. Tonight's everything to me.
(13:54):
Tonight is a playoff game. Tonight is everything. And I
know these guys are gonna come out, They're gonna be right.
And the weather couldn't be worse for the La Rams.
No DeVante Adams, unfortunately, no Charles Cross. But it is
what it is, you know, next man up, and that's
gonna be a key tonight for this team. They've gotta
(14:15):
find a way to get it done and protect Sam
Darnald and and you know what, one of the things.
And it'll be interesting to see what Clint Kubiak has
on his play call sheet.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Tonight because.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I want to see something in terms of maybe Sam
Darnold will employ something in terms of him being a.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Guy that will have a lot of quick.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Passes at the line of scrimmage t JSI to Cooper
Cup to Aj Barner to get this thing going as
what the Philip is, what Philip Rivers and the Indiapolis
Colts did to the Seahawks on Sunday, Maybe and employ
that a little bit. If they can't get this run
game going, well, maybe they'll employ that. Even if they
can get the run game going. Nonetheless, this is it.
(15:09):
Tonight is the NFC West Championship Game, and I'm here
for all of it. Injected it into my veins. Now
I've only been here for ten months, but I've made
some observations about certain things, and i want to let
(15:32):
you know about it because if I don't do it,
I'm not doing my job and I'm not being honest
with the audience. And this is one of the many
reasons why millions and millions of people have stopped and
dropped their subscriptions to newspapers, not only here in Seattle
no longer. I mean, it's been a long time since
(15:54):
the post Intelligencer has been around. There's only one newspaper
of public record that is here, and that's the Seattle Times. So, kid,
I'm gonna ask you a question. Are you ready all right?
What would you think would be the number one headline
(16:18):
today in the Seattle Times Sports section? The physical paper
that I don't know, but people some people still subscribe
to you. I don't know anybody who still subscribed to you.
But what would you think it would be? Or the
digital subscription as well? What would I mean, it's a
trick question. It's not a trick question, but it's pretty rhetorical.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What would it be? Kid? Today?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What would the number one headline be in Seattle on
the Seattle Times Sports section? What would you think if
you were the editor in chief of the Seattle Times?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
What would it be?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Rams Verse Seahawks?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I mean, it's it's pretty much a rhetorical question. Absolutely
absolutely well. I was alerted this morning from our own
Dave Softie Maler, and I would never have known this
until I saw it the top of the headlines of
the Seattle Times. Washington running back Muhammad will enter transfer portal.
(17:23):
That's the number one story. But kid, I'm not done
that's oh oh wait, there's more above the Seattle Seahawks
and Rams.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That is above them is.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The Seattle women's hockey team, the Torrent, who got a
four to one victory over the Ottawa Charge last night.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
That is above the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Rams game, which is actually leading the A block all
over and the A block for TV people, if you're talking,
if you're going dead up today, if you're going to
Steven A. Smith's first take, if you're talking Pat McAfee
ESPN Sports Center, the number one top, the number one segment,
(18:16):
and the number one.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Topic is the Seahawks Rams.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We are at the epicenter of the entire sports universe tonight,
and they are below and you might not even know this,
the Seattle women's hockey team, the Torrent.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
There's your Seattle Times for you right there there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Why anybody subscribes to that fish rag is beyond the
realm of my comprehension.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But I want you to know, and I get it.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And a lot of people here have talked about you know, hey,
you know Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, and I don't
like those guys either.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
They don't give Seattle enough credit. Well tonight and this entire.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Week and especially today all over the country, everybody numero
uno topic on every sports talk radio station that after
they get through their local and every national network ESPN,
all their shows get up first. Take Pat McAfee part
(19:20):
of the interruption later today. All of them you named,
Colin Coward, you name it is the Seahawks and Rams
and they are below in their own town, below what
is known as the Seattle Torrent women's hockey team. That's
(19:40):
all you need to know about the Seattle Times. That's
all you need to know right then and there. I
that's the mic drop, that's my nas.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Ether on the Seattle Times.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I mean, I'm actually ashamed and embarrassed for the Seattle
Times that this actually happen.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You can go look it up. You can go look
it up.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's there, it's there, and it's a joke, an absolute joke.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And you should be ashamed over there, Seattle Times. You
should be. But then again, I mean, you know, I mean,
you are what you are.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
And this is why nobody subscribes to your dirt fish
rag anymore. That's why they just use it to wrap
fish at Pipe Place Market. That's the only reason why
it's pathetic. Can't even get headlights in their own town.
But nationally, like nationally it's number one every show you
turned on, it's it's just unfreaking believable. Yeah, softy h no.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Actually, Brian Emhauser, Hawks blogger was the one who tweeted
out and and he did a great job today. He said,
First thing, this is a newspaper for those who have
never seen one, and I like Brian's stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
He's really good.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Second thing, it's says a lot that on the day
of the biggest game for the Seahawks in a decade,
their stories are buried at the bottom. Will they finally
capture the city's attention tonight? Great job by Brian. I
got our chief engineer, Terry Ryan is just shaking his head.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He's growing born and raised here kid.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I mean seriously, seriously, like you know and listen, having
lived and having perspective in other cities and people hate
the Boston Globe. But I can tell you in the
last three years, I was there for the Tom Brady era,
which was his final three years. Even in July, if
(21:41):
the Red Sox are playing the Yankees, if Tom Brady
walked outside and I don't know put his sunglasses on.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
That was the headliner and the Boston Globe. They know
what sells.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Sorry today to disappoint the KJA listening audience. If I'm
not gonna talk about the Seattle Torrent, I'm gonna talk about.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
The Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, the team that has delivered one of only
two world titles in this city's history, along with the
SuperSonics in nineteen seventy nine. You're gonna have to forgive
me today. I'm not gonna talk Torrent the women's hockey team.
I'm gonna talk about Sam Darnold, JSN, Leonard Williams, Reek Woolen,
(22:32):
Devin Witherspoon against the Rams, and Matthew Stafford, who more
than likely will be the MVP. It's embarrassing. It's really embarrassing.
I mean, I'll just leave it at this. If I
was in the woods, or I was at home and
I ran out of toilet paper, I wouldn't use the
Seattle Times after a bout movement.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That tells you what I think about that dirt fish rag.
You're not gonna.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Put the number one team in this city on the headlines.
I mean, Adam Mohammad even that and during the transfer
portal is number one on the day of Seahawks rams.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
What a joke.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
And believe me, folks, I know I've been in a
bunch of cities, in a bunch of markets, so I
have a perspective unlike any host in the history of
this city.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Okay, So I can tell you, and I can.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Tell you right now that this is probably getting headlines
in other big cities newspapers more than it is its own,
and that ultimately is an indictment of the Seattle Times.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
But I digress. That'll be it. I've said my piece.
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I'm not gonna give them any further mentions because it's
certainly if you're not gonna respect the number one team
in this town, then you don't deserve any airtime on
this invaluable prime piece of real estate on sports radio
ninety three to three KJR between the hours of ten
am the one PM.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You just don't deserve it. And that's I'm embarrassed for
you. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And you know what, if somebody gives you a subscription
on the holidays to Seattle Times, do them a favor
and return it right away and give it back.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
To them because you don't want it, you don't need it.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
They don't respect the Seahawks on the day of what
is the biggest NFL regular season game of the entire year.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Wow, just wow.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
All right, we are live at Jimmy's on First and
coming up next. What does a win mean for the
Seahawks in terms of winning the division? And what would
a loss mean to the LA Rams tonight in terms
of them winning division? And conversely, what if the Hawks
don't take care of business tonight, what does it mean
(24:59):
for their divisional chances and their playoff chances.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
We'll be joined by.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
George Sedano coming up from ESPN LA at eleven. Live
at Jimmy's on First, Come on on, stop by. They
got great specials going on here. They do the Cup
of Coffee for Cooper Cup, Vanilla Vodka, white Chocolate, Laqueur Coffee,
the JSN Tellman, Gentleman, Jack Carpano, Sweet Vermouth, and bidders.
(25:25):
It's come on out. They got great food. Their breakfast
menus in full effect. They got biscuits and gravy, you
name it. We are live at Jimmy's on First and
we will be talking about the Seattle Seahawks all show
long right here on ninety three to three KGRFM, and
got on out to leave and and look back at
(25:48):
that kind of set precedent in my life of don't quit,
even if you're in a place that isn't exactly your wheelhouse,
your forte, don't quit. And I love it here and see,
but all I'm asking is just play the hits. I mean,
I know what everybody here wants to talk about, and
(26:10):
you should.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
The Seattle Seahawks are the Numero uno team in this city,
in this region. They are number one, and.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I mean they're the team who delivered the most recent
world title in twenty thirteen. And I've always admired the
Seahawks under Pete Carroll and John Schneider even prior to
that under Mike homb Grin when Walter Jones and Sean
Alexander and Hutchinson was here and all those guys, and
(26:41):
they went to the Super Bowl back in Detroit twenty
years ago in the hometown of Jerome Bettis. In case
you and no, I don't know if you know that
kid that week, I don't know if you heard this kid,
if you forgot did you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Know Jerome bettest kid is from Detroit? Did you know that? Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Okay, because the media let everybody know that, how I
don't know eight thousand times for two weeks going into
that game. Nonetheless, we're going to play the hits here
where the station for the fans and the people and everybody.
I don't care what you do for a living today.
I don't care if you're a neurosurgeon, if you're a lawyer,
(27:21):
you're a teacher, you're a construction worker.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I don't care if you're a drug dealer. Today.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
The number one topic in Seattle and throughout the entire
PNW region in America are the Seahawks and Rams, the
two number one in two teams in the power rankings
based on every metric that you can look at. And
that's what we should be talking about all show long.
(27:47):
I mean, that's it. I have a prediction coming up
at eleven forty five, George Sodano. He's a very powerful,
successful broadcaster. He got pulled into production meeting. He is
going to join us coming up at noon instead of eleven.
But I look forward to talking to my old guy,
my my guy, mister Johe Sadano who I've known for
(28:10):
twenty one years, twenty two years.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
In fact, my, oh my, how time flies? Oh my lord.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And to see the success that George has had in
his career in the meteoric ascent, You know what, kid,
I want to ask him, and I'm I'm just enamored
the one athlete in this world. And this will be
the only non Seahawks topic I talk about. Probably I'll
show he's interviewed Wemby Victor Wembayama multiple times, and I'm
(28:36):
just like, I gotta know what is like? What is
Wemby like in person? To seven foot six force of
nature that can just shoot threes like Larry effing Bird
and have the handles of Isaiah Thomas, the og from
(28:57):
the Bad Boy Pistons, no disrespect from the guy from
you Dubbin Tacoma. And like, I'm just a neighbor. I
want to ask George about Wemby. And I can't wait
to see Wemby in person because they've never seen him
play in person yet. And I look forward to seeing
Wemby at Climate Pledge Arena Knock Knock on Wood in
(29:18):
a few years. Okay, Adam Silver, I'm talking to you
all right, but I'm happy for Sadonna, what the success that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
He has had in his career.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
But this game right now, and and this might surprise
a lot of you, but I want to let you know.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Here are the numbers for tonight. So if the Rams.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Win tonight, they have a ninety three percent chance to
win the NFC West.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Now, how about this.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
If the Seahawks win tonight, and by the way, if
the Seahawks lose tonight, it's over, they have a two
percent chance to win the NFC West Division, which I
mean at that point you can cancel Christmas, if you
know what I mean. Now, here's the interesting thing, kid,
I'm gonna ask you another question. If the Seahawks win tonight,
(30:16):
what would you think they are percentage is to win
the NFC West Division would.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Be at probably eighty nine ninety percent.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
That's exactly what I thought, kid, You ready for this.
If the Seahawks win tonight, the only it says they
have a forty eight percent chance to win the division.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Oh yeah, the Niners, the Niners.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
And I'm like, WTF. What So they win the night
and they have.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
A forty only a forty eight a less than fifty
percent chance to win the division with two games to go.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Wow. And here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
If the Hawks win knock on Wood, and we all
hope that they do, the Rams still have a somewhat
They have a twenty nine percent chance to win the
NFC West. So even winning tonight for the Hawks doesn't
ensure anything. You still have less than a fifty percent
chance to win the division. So that's something to keep
(31:20):
in mind. Tonight, I was shocked when I saw that.
Shocked that you win the game the night you got
two to go. I'm thinking, but I mean, to quote
Tony Montana from Scarface, those cocker roaches aka the San
Francisco forty nine ers. You can't kill them, man, you
(31:42):
cannot kill them. They got head to head on us
in week one and we got chance for a receipt
in week eighteen, the final game of the season. But yeah,
so there it is. So winning tonight, the Hawks still
have only a forty eight percent chance to win the
NFC West. Don't ask me how that works, but that's.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
The way it is. I just I'm shocked about that.
All right.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well, I mentioned if Philip Rivers had any type of success,
what would that mean for the retired guys. Tom Brady
the goat, he has something he's gonna say, hitting the
all fields. Coming up next Cole Musgrove Seahawks Wire at eleven,
George Sodano ESPN LA Broadcaster Extraordinaire at noon Live at
(32:33):
Jimmy's on first, come on by, don't talk to me
about the Chicago, excuse me about the Seattle Torrent along
with Christopher Kidd M Jay in the midday.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Would you be ready to go right now?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
I whoop right now? Would absolutely I could go out
there and play.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Give me a month.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
I mean I could go play with anybody day and
like I said, I took care of my body. Great,
I could do at all. What I wouldn't want to
do is make the commitment to play. Cause it's like
i'd say, foot, it's like basketball season. Do you really
want to commit to playing eighty two games? That takes
a lot of training, And it's like, I don't want
to do that many.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
If you could come back for just the finals, Okay, yeah,
for that's the go Tom Brady. Oh, I believe what
Philip Rivers did on Sunday. He didn't do a whole
hell of a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
He threw only for one hundred and twenty seven yards,
but he hung in there and had a chance to
win the game against the best defense in the NFL
at Seattle. Oh, I believe Brady could come in the
league and be top ten in passer rating, no doubt.
I mean, the dude's still eating avocado toast and avocado
(33:43):
if he allows himself to have an avocado ice cream,
so all that stuff, and he's still on that pliability
Alex Guerrero, all that that whole TV twelve stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
So oh, I totally kid.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Do you think Brady could come in the league and
win a couple of games in uh good doing? So?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I think if if all things needed and he wanted to, yeah,
he probably still could. But he needs to just chill,
relax and enjoy Phantom time and all that.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
No, no, Kitty's making more money now talking about the
game than he did playing the game and winning six
Super Bowls.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
But he loves the game and you can tell, oh,
he could care less. He'd do it for free. I
think if he wanted to, he would.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He would.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Man, that's a good that's a great point. He definitely
definitely would, And I'm you know, oh, no doubt. I
mean I mean, Brady's only been gone for a couple
of years. It's not like it's been you know, it's
it's just a thirty year out of the league.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
So yeah, but oh, he could definitely, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
And I love when you see him in the games
that he does pre game and he's throwing to receivers
and guys want to catch the ball from him. That's
just the ultimate sign of respect and admiration that you know.
I mean, listen, man, he's not too far removed from
this game and.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All I could totally see it.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Cam Newton still in great shape, don't know, you know,
he didn't look great at the end there, but yeah,
I mean, you know, when you've got guys in this
league that you've never even heard of his backup quarterbacks,
We're not talking about Jimmy Garoppolo and Drew Locke. We're
talking about garbage qbs. That MaTx Brosmer, who couldn't start
(35:20):
on any of the playoff teams in college football playing
this weekend, including the you okay, couldn't start at Oregon
over Dante More. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, Max Brosmer
