Epstein's going to join us next after headlines brought to
you by Frostbrewed Corslight, Choose Chill. The Seahawks are without
head coach Mike McDonald for the time being because he
left to be with his wife Stephanie the eminent birth
of their first child.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Pretty darn good reason to leave a football team.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
It occurred to me that we never talked about this
with Pete Carroll in fifteen years the team to have
a baby because he was seventy two years old.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Thirty seven year old Mike McDonald.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
And his wife Stephanie all the best of them as
they await and maybe it's already happened, the birth of
their first child.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Leslie Fraser was taking the question yesterday.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
The assistant head coach in the day after press conference
lease Seahawks before Mike McDonald went away with his wife
Cut Laviiscus Hanal, the kickoff return of veteran kickoff returner
former Colorado star who fumbled two kickoffs against the Jets.
Cut the day later. I wouldn't be surprised if Dee
Williams is not beck returning kicks either. He's been doing
that with Schanal on Sunday, when the Seahawks and Cardinals
(02:36):
played for first place in the NFC West one oh
five pm, Channel seven locally, Jameis Winston a four hundred
yard passing night last night, but through two picks sixes,
the Broncos rallied to beat Cleveland forty one thirty two
at home Denver, now eight and five, firmly an AFC

The Browns fault of three and nine.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
The NFL suspended Houston's disease Al Shier three game for
the hit on sliding Trevor Lawrence that knocked the Jaguars
quarterback out of their game with the Texans on Sunday.

(03:39):
Last night in college basketball, Washington State's men's team improved
a seven and two beat Nevada in Reno, sixty eight
to fifty seven. That's a good win for them, and
that is six and two. Jory Epstein is joining us,
joining s on the Beacon Plumbing high Line. Excuse me,

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Joey Epstein joined us every Tuesday at eleven o'clock, and
she joined us now from New York. Hello, ma'am, I
hope your week is a little less chaotic as last
week was.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Absolutely, we are settling in. We have no more plugs
than the apartment, so I am doing great. How are
you guys doing? And how did my city, New York
treat you?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It was fine.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It was beautiful cold, but for a West Coaster, a
little chili twenty five degree wind chill. But yeah, I
was I was looking for you. I thought maybe i'd
see a jump into the press box. You didn't want
to go see a three and nine team on a
twenty five year degree windchill Sunday.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
It's very tempting that I instead skipped Jet Seahawks and
right wrote off the Raiven's Eagles games. So it was
a tough call between which of those games is going
to be more Betel.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, very tough call. You made the right one.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Tell us about the Eagles, what's going on with them?
To go down to Baltimore and just thump John Harbaugh's
boys on their home field, shut down an offense that
has been scoring forty plus points against most teams. I think,
if I'm not mistaken, that was like a twenty one
to six type game into the fourth.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Quarter, right.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Absolutely. The thing about the Eagles is we expected going
in that they should be able to do something on offense.
This is a team that has Jalen Hurts, they have
a J Brown and DeVonta Smith. That offensive line has
been one of the best in the league perennially with
their offensive line coach, even without Jason Kelsey. And then
you add Saquon Barkley to the mix and it's really
just which problem do you want to deal with because
(05:27):
you're not going to be able to stop them all.
But what we didn't realize about the Eagles coming into
this season is their defense is way ahead of where
I thought it would be. They're in their first year,
Sayango as their coordinator, a couple of games they needed
to get going earlier in the year, but now their
two rookie corners are really stepping up. They've got a
linebacker and Zach Bond who spent four years as a
(05:48):
New Orleans special teamer and now is on his way
to All Pro I mean, leading the league in solo tackles, interceptions, fumbles.
I mean just amazing. And so I think when you
have those kind of pieces on defense playing the way
that they are and stepping up, that really helps contain
an offense that has Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
While we're on the subject of Eagles Ravens, what's going
on with Justin Tucker? I mean, he's one of the
best ever and he booms it from everywhere up to
sixty yards and he seems to never miss. And what
is he now? He's missed four in the last two games.
I think it is in Is there a concern? I
actually look at it now. He was two for four
against the Eagles one for three two weeks ago at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
They ended up losing that game by two points. Is
there Justin Tucker concerned? I know Harbor will say no,
But what do you think is going on there?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah, it's a great question. And those are the field
goals he missed, but he also missed extra points, and
so in total he missed three kicks this Pack game.
That's two field goals and an extra point, so seven
points in a five point fos and he's ten kicks
already the season in games to his career. I think
it's important to note a couple of things. The first
is that Justin Tucker is still a very good NFL kicker.
(07:02):
We've seen kickers that have an injury, let's say that
they're growing at their leg or something that keeps them
from being able to make the kicks. That's not what
Justin Tucker appears to be dealing with. He still made
a fifty yard field goal this pass game. We also
have kickers where they have the yifs and they just
cannot make fiald goals and they're missing a bunch of
chip shots. He would miss a field goal or an
extra point, and then he made them afterwards. So this
(07:22):
wasn't something that he didn't make any kicks. That said,
they have always been able to rely on him from
pretty much any business they wanted, and now all of
his misses have come from forty plus range. And so
I think if you're the reasons, what you need to
do is if you don't want to lose a playoff
game because miss kicks, which I think that a tune
has already been so close, And then added Derek Henry
(07:42):
certainly has playoff hopes and deep playoff hopes you probably
need to readjust your decision making calculus and understand, well,
under forty Justin still reliable, But over forty it's not
that we should never trust him in the reality is,
I would be shocked that they could find a kicker
who they can trust more than Justin Tucker at this
point and season. It's not thirty two good kickers in
a week, and Justin's the one of the better ones.
(08:04):
He's just more normal than fantastic now. But you do
need to consider at the longer distances if you should
maybe go for it on fourth down a couple more times.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
To that point, Jory.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
In twenty twenty two, when Justin Tucker led the NFL
thirty seven of forty three field goals made, he was
nine of fourteen from fifty plus. The last two seasons combined,
he's five for fourteen. He's this year, he's seventy percent
on his kicks. In twenty twenty one, he led the
NFL with ninety five percent field goal percentage. He's on
(08:34):
the seventy right now. So to your point, yeah, the
Raven's gonna have to drive deeper to feel like they
can score. This is Joey Epstein's her weekly visit with
us on the Beacome Plumbing Hotline. Thanks to Zeke's Pizza
home grown in the Northwest Order online it's Zeke's Pizza,

Speaker 6 (08:51):
Jory Jamis Winston, he is setting the world on fire
from eaton W's to his I don't know how to
describe his pregame speeches with reporters, but he is definitely
an entertainment factor and then he plays, for the most part,
some good football. He did have two big pick sixes
against the Denver Bronxs and that Monday night game last night.
But I'm curious, are is this team really looking forward
(09:14):
moving forward with Jamis four hundred yard night man, he
was lighting it, I know, but.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
There's always This was four hundred and ninety seven passing
plus eleven. He was over five hundred yards of total offense,
which is just insane. But yeah, four hundred ninety seven
passing alone, four touchdowns, three interceptions. Everything that good that
could happen did happen to Jamis Clinston against the Denver
Broncos at a nine point loss. And I think when
I look at it, there's two elements. There's the offense
and the defense. I thought that Troy made a great
(09:40):
point on the Color Analysis last night when he said
that even the defense is looking better when James is playing,
and there is just more energy across the team, and
the way he put it, he sent quote to Shaun
Watson is the albatross. And so I think that you
have to ask yourself, is you have to see what
Jamis is able to do. Can he play a little
more cleanly? Which he has more cleanly the second half
(10:01):
of his career, show to say than he did toward
the end of his Tampa when if he had thirty
interceptions in the season. But I think that you also
have to realize that whether it's Jamis or somebody else,
the team should not go back to de Shaun Watson.
It doesn't matter how much dead money. I mean, I
think last night it's the perfect games and talk about
that because they were playing a team that was willing
to take on eighty five million dollars in big cap
(10:22):
space for Russell Wilson who was playing at a much
better level than Deshaun Watson, and look what they've done.
So I think that's what the Cleveland Browns can take
from last night. Isn't don't keep letting a bad decision
get worse because you're not willing to move on.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The moral of that story is, don't pay a quarterback
who's got all kinds of issues two hundred and fifty
eight million dollars all guaranteed. You don't back yourself into
that situation. That's how desperate the Browns were a quarterback, Jory,
what Thanksgivings?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I mean, that was a weird Thanksgiving for the Bears,
to say the least.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The Eberflus press conference.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
What was all that about? And not on a coaching search?
And I don't remember a coach getting fired on a
Friday before. The whole thing is weird, just weird. Haven't
covered the league as long as I have. Yeah, the
team's losing, so they fire their coach, but how they're
doing it just seems weird.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
What's funny to me, Gregor you understand us having covered
leagues longer than I have, is if the Bears had said, look,
it's Thanksgiving weekend, We're not going to have a press
conference tomorrow. We've got ten days before the game. We'll
give you the press conference Monday. I've been I mean,
I covered the Cowboys for seven years, and they would
always have Mike McCarthy talk on Friday after Jason Garrett,
whoever it was, they would have someone talk on Friday.
(11:36):
But there's every work in a while when you say, look,
this is not a normal schedule. So the Bears argument
for having eager Face get up there a couple hours
before he was let go is that it would look
weird to stay delayed it. But they could have preempted
this from the beginning by just saying it's a holiday weekend.
We changed the schedule. That happens in the NFL all
the time. And then you have yesterday. So Monday, Bears
(11:58):
president Kevin warren gets up there, General Manager Ryan Poles
also at the podium, and they're like, well, we didn't
want to say anything until if he had told his
family we want to talk to him directly. We were
still making the decision. We could have done better. And
then Kevin Warrens goes on to say, first of all,
he has confidence in GM Ryan Poles, and Poles is
going to be the general manager Ryan Board, which is
a little bit of a bold move because whether or
(12:20):
not you think Ryan Poles has done a great job,
there wasn't a lot to gain by expressing your confidences,
and yesterday, clearly he's still there if he's sitting next
to you at the podium. And the downside is what
if you have a head coach like sen Johnson, He says,
I want to bring my GM with me if you
want me, I'm bringing my GM. Well, now, what you
dug yourself into a hole where you committed to a
GM who by no means have put together a winning team.
(12:41):
On top of that, you have Kevin Warren saying this
is going to be the most coveted job in the
National Football League. And an executive texted me after that
from a team that does not need to coach right now,
and said, if you have the most coveted job in
the National Football League, you do not have to say
that you have the most coveted job in the National
Football League. And I thought that was a great way
to put it. So, I don't know. It was a
(13:01):
little wild to me that Thomas Brown seems like the
most like poised and articulate and in control member of
the three of them who spoke when he's the one
least likely to be with the Bears. In twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Five, the Bears have had so many coaching changes over
the years, yet this is the first time they've ever
fired a coach in his first during his first season.
And if you can point to a reason, why is
it the play calling? Is that the game management decisions. Yeah,
they're four and eight, but their offensive line might be
worse than the Seahawks. What would you say went wrong
(13:34):
for Eberflus And you mentioned Ben Johnson. There's no way
in hell the Lions are going to let Ben Johnson
be the bears next head coach. Are there any other
candidates you could think of? Ben Johnson's gonna be on
everybody's radar. Of course again this offseason.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Great.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Yeah, So just one quick note on never because it
wasn't his first year, but it was his third year
as the Bears coach. But this is the first time
as the Bears have ever fired a coach in season
as opposed to Missaid. So people definitely expected that to
come at the end of the season rather than now. Like,
I don't think many people thought that he befoot was
keeping his job. He was already on the hot seat
(14:09):
going into this year. But now I think what they
worried about is that Okay, you've got a rookie quarterback.
He's the number one overall pick. You need to show something.
I mean, also a kind of a saved your job
if you're Kevin Warren and Rampoles. But the problem with
their strategy is the best thing that THEIRS did in
the last few weeks was after they fired offensive coordinator
Shane Waldrins. And you guys know very well Thomas Brown
(14:29):
has the offense improving significantly, the quarterback's improving significantly. Now
they elevate him to interim head coach, well, he is
still calling place, but he's got all this other stuff
on the plate, like give the head coach job to
someone else, And what's the guy who's finally doing something
right to help your quarterback develop, which would be your
number one goal and what's going to be a lost
season from a record standpoint, keep doing what he's doing,
(14:50):
and they chose not to do that. So that's definitely
tricky in terms of who would come there. I think
they're going to have a debate, which is, do you
want the best offensive mind who can create the best
means in the best coaching for your quarterback, or do
you want what Kevin Warren said yesterday is the quote
leader of men, and that was a term that team
owner George mccafs he tweeted out as well. And from
all accounts, when people are on the league, I hear
(15:11):
that they want more of the latter. I mean, people
keep telling me that that there want their equivalent of
Mike Tomeron And so I think, who is that going
to be? Who can really set the culture independence of
who the play color is. I think that's dangerous because yes,
maybe you'll have a culture, but if you do well,
your coordinator's leaving after a year, and Caleb's already going
to have three offensive coordinators in his first year, likely
(15:32):
four by the beginning of next year, And so what
are you going to do given five and three years.
It's not really a recipe for success. But I will say,
in addition to Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, the Detroit Lions
defensive coordinator, definitely has a lot of respect around the
league and definitely has that the expectation that he will
come in instead a culture in a really impressive way
the way that Mike Tomlin has in Pittsburgh. So he
(15:53):
would be a name of mind. Mike Rabel definitely is
an interesting name, just because of the way he established
a culture before as well.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Seahawks at Bears in twenty three days in Soldier Field
in Chicago the day after.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Christmas, Jory, I saw Aaron Rodgers up close.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I've been covering him for all twenty years of his career,
and I rarely see him throw as errantly as often
as he did on Sunday. He missed a wide open
Garrett Wilson for what should have been the touchdown to
make a twenty eight to seven The play before the
Leonard Waiams pick six, on which Rodgers got fooled by
Mike McDonald and his scheme dropping a nose tackle in
the coverage. Do you see a future for Ann Rodgers?
(16:28):
It certainly doesn't look like it's in the Jets. We
talked to Antoine Daily the New York Daily News on Friday,
and he said he doesn't see any way possible that
Aaron Rodgers stayed with the new regime coming in.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Do you think he plays next year?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Do you think we're watching the last month of Aaron
Rodgers' long, storied career.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Look, I think that we don't expect to see Aaron
Rodgers playing with it us for several reasons, including the
fact that Aaron rodgers public comments have become pretty self preservation,
like where he was asked after the game against the Seahawks,
what went wrong and if he's healthy, why isn't he
making the throws? And he said some of them around
me for sure, some of them are my fault. Other
times there were issues with the details elsewhere. And I'm
(17:07):
not saying that that's not true. I agree with Aaron
Rodgers if there were other people who made mistakes in
the game besides him, But as the quarterbacks of a franchise,
you don't say that like everyone knows that implicitly if
you're the head. I mean, this is one of the
reasons that the Bears didn't keep head coach Maddie for Poose.
The team felt he wasn't taking accountability, and so I
think as Aaron Rodgers starts going increasingly towards defending himself
(17:27):
at the expense of his teammates. It was one thing
to do it to one player Mike Williams, the receiver
who he was able to get moved on the trading block.
But when you structured so much of the team around
Aaron Rodgers friends and teammates, then you need to take
more accountability than that. I do think that Aaron Rodgers
is going to get another job off or if he
wants it next year. I think that he's got way
too much talent for coaches to not convince themselves that
(17:49):
they have plenty left in the tank. And I also
think that, I mean, I know we have so many
Aaron Rodgers and Brett Farv comparisons, but Farv when he
went to the Gets for the year, had twenty two
touch down to twenty two interceptions. I think he was
thirty nine years old at the time, thirty eight, so
just a couple of years younger than Aaron Rodgers. The
next year, he goes to the Vikings, goes twelve and four,
(18:10):
leaves the league in lowest interception percentage, So I think
that he would not be the first one to bounce back.
And also given that he's only in his first year
coming off the Achilles, there is a perspective around the
league that whether it's acl or Achilles, all of those
things are not going to be quite right in your
first year back. It's really your second year. So I
think whether or not Aaron Rodgers will play well again.
(18:31):
Is a legitimate question whether teams will convince themselves that
they should hire him again. I don't think that's in question.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Aaron Rodgers turned forty one yesterday.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Say what you will about Gino Smith, but when he
was leading the league in interceptions, he says, it's me.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I got the ball and I have to be better.
He doesn't say about factors and all these other things
that talked about. Jory. Where are you at this weekend?
Speaker 5 (18:54):
This weekend I will be home again, so plenty of
games on the road, and then Monday I will go
to Deall. We've got the owners meetings in the Dallas
area this coming week, so will not be at a gamble.
They got the owner's meetings and I'll be and labor
someone are there at the front office, so plenty of
relevant people in the same place. And that was to
the accelerator program for the front officer as well. So
(19:15):
I'm excited to get a sense of what the buzz
is there and report back to you guys from Dallas
next week.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Thursday Night Packers, Lions, they got Falcons, Vikings. The Falcons
are sinking. What game intrigues you the most this weekend?
Bill's Rams. There's a couple of good ones in the Seahawks,
Cardinals have a decent one down in the desert within encourage.
What intrigues you most?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I mean that person one really is hard to talk
to Packers and the Lions. I think it wouldn't surprise me.
It's a division game that, even though the Lions might
be a stronger team and a more consistent team, when
you go in division like that and just what's going
on there, there has to be a time when someone
gets the best of the Lions right, and that might
actually end up being one of the best things that
could happen to the Lions. So I would definitely imagine
(19:58):
that we will get a good game there.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Ninety three Packers at eleven to one Lions, Thursday night
right here on ninety three point three KJRFM at five
point fifteen. Joy, Thank you, enjoy your weekend. We'll enjoy
trip back on to Dallas. We'll talk to you next
week from Dallas, apparently.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Thank you absolutely, Greg Chris Burrow fifteen. Next week.

twelve twenty Today with Ian Farness after our show, she
says she thinks Aaron Rodgers is going to get a
(20:35):
job somewhere, and he's probably gonna want to have jobs
somewhere the next to play. And she also just pretty
much shakes her head at what's going on with Chicago
firing a coach in the middle of a season for
the first time in that long storied history. Thomas Brown,
She's written about and if you can go to Yahoo
Sports and Jory search her story on Thomas Brown, the
former offensive coordinator play color elevated from position coach to
(20:59):
play caller to head coach in the span of about
three or four weeks now in Chicago again. The Seahawks
play at the Bears a day after Christmas. That's after
they played Green Bay in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Back to back. The Seahawks road up here.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
The next four or five weeks, the final five games
is absolutely no picnic at Arizona for the division lead.
On Sunday, Green Bay Minnesota back to back. That's nine
to ten win teams back to back at home, then
at the Bears on a short week on a Thursday
night the day after Christmas, then a ten day rest
before they go at the Los Angeles Rams, who have
already beaten them this season, to finish the season in Inglewood.
(21:33):
That's January fifth or sixth, and that game is probably
going to mean something for the division title. By that,

Best of luck the other side would be awesome though
very well. Yes three six.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
So while the Seahawks all hung up on Sharberonnet, I
literally can't stand seeing him on the field. Funny thing though,
when he's go the touch tow. My wife looked at
me and said, isn't that the guy who said is
absolutely worthless and should be cut?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
That's hilarious when your wife is like, huh, your wife,
are you sure about that? Did he just score? And
you're like, well, it's an attentive wife. So Greg, what's
up with that? You know?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
They think he's a bruising back. And he did break
the linebacker's tackle attempt, although it was a weak feeble attempt.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Did you notice Actor that Abe Lucas fell.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Down and got in the way of the linebacker on
that play? And part of the reason that Sharbeney scored
is because Abe Lucas was a roadblock laying on the
ground falling and the linebacker missed the play. But there's
no doubt in short yardis they think Jack Sharbennay can
break tackles better than Kenneth Walker. I don't see why
Kenneth Walker doesn't is not on the field every time
(23:46):
they're in short yard each and goal line.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I just I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I just don't fair perception, I guess because the results
sure don't say that.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, let's get to it. It's time for listeners to
win how much already? Wow?
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, we're late one thousand dollars from the Emerald Queen Casino.
But if you listen to our show, I mean twenty
two times I've won, Chris, you won what eight nine times?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Thirty times?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
You could be a winner if you just picked fact
on our show, you'd win ten thousand dollars from the
Emerald Queen Casino, which is next week's grand prize coming
up right now.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Where's that to go? Glad you're with us, it's your
shot at our wed.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Ten thousand. It's brought to you by the Emerald Queen Casino.
You don't have to do tough sports football season loss.
His team just played Very Sports Radio and they barely lost.
(24:47):
You're so excited for this, she talked right over the
open for this must be good. Everybody knows it's back
of fixing time. And with that being said, the NFL,
where Chris always goes, you know what, It's a tough
for me to make, but I think they can get
it done. They're at home, So go ahead, clear's throat,
(25:09):
Go ahead and give me.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Wow. The more I think about it, the harder it gets.
Go ahead. Can I guess what you're gonna do?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
No, no, no, I'm taking the Tampa Bay Bucks minus seven.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Nobody cares about radeers. I don't know if they care,
but the spread is seven. I'm taking the Buccaneers to
win by eight or more points. So give me the
Bucks minus seven at home against the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Almost beat the Chiefs exactly. They were right there.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
I don't think if someone would have picked the Raiders
plus the points against the Chiefs, no one would have
did that. But I do think they gave a lot
of energy to that game. They played their butts off.
They were right there. I mean a fumbled snap here
and there, they might have won the damn game. They
were field goal range, dang near. So go ahead and
give me the Buccaneers minus seven at home against the
(26:08):
scrappy black hole Raiders.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
All right, Buccaneers minus seven.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
If you agree with Chris and think that the Buccaneers
are going to win by eight or more points over
the Raiders in Tampa on Sunday, ten am local time,
our time, text fact to four nine, four to five one.
If you disagree and you think the Raiders are gonna
keep it within a seven point game or perhaps even win,
text fiction to four nine four to five one, you
have twelve minutes after which time, ever, it'll be two
thirty five with the inf Nets, three thirty five with
(26:36):
Dave Softy Muller and Dick Fane, and again.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
The contest ends this week.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
So this is it. Stock up on your chances now
to try to win, because if most times the win,
that person gets ten thousand dollars from the ameral quenus.
You know you only have to win once to get
the thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
The funniest text I got in here four two five, Thanks,
I picked against you on both Army birth Notre Dame,
and one each time.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well you know what that was me? That was you.
Well it's still funny. It's what I'm getting to.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
But nonetheless, Keith Miller texting Baker Baker turnerver maker.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I know, I understand, but I think they can handle
business at home.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
They have a good running back duo of Rashot White
and what's his name played at Oregon. Oh my gosh,
I'm drawing a blind Bucky Irving. So yeah, run it
down their throats. Have a good game, Make me happy,
Give me some more ws.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All the great games this weekend in the NFL. Packers Lions.
That's a tough one to pick, are you?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Chargers, Chiefs, Bill's Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You go with Raiders, Buccaneers. Those are hard games to pick.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yeah, I know this one feels a little easier, but damn,
I was very close to taking Oakland plus points, But no,
I'm not. My final pick is going to be the
Buccaneers minus seven at home against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Text in fact the Ford one four or five to one.
If you agree, and if you're a hater, it's okay,
(27:56):
I understand. You can text in fiction to Ford one four.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Or five one. And once covered a Raiders Buckinger Super
Bowl in San Diego. Oh won Greg? How far that was?
When John Gruden to every play the Raiders were throwing.
And I say, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
The Raiders boldly didn't change any of their audibles, any
of their calls.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's when Tampa too was big.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yes, Tony Dungee the defense coordinator. Four, it might have
been Money Kiffin at the time. Actually for John Gruden
in his first year, the Raiders played the same audibles,
the same line calls, the same everything that that John
Gruden had him doing the year before.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It didn't change a thing.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yea, And so Gruden knew every call John Lynch was
calling the deep the plays out Here comes Rice on
a cross, here comes Brown on a dig. He picked
him off three times. Pick sixes just killed him. After
the game, I saw John Gruden down in the tunnel.
He was going to the press conference. I was heading
the Raiders locker room.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
He goes, how do you like that? Blank and blank?
Oh he was, he was. He was loving it. Man.
John Gruden was hilarious to cover. You know what you
should do. You should go on YouTube and watch John
Gruden's break down. I see that new thing. Fabulous it is.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
You gotta put your mouth piece in and get your
big boy pats because they're.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Coming Raiders at Buccaneers. Chris says, Buccaneers minus the seven,
the win by eight or more. If you agree, text
factor four happy there. If you disagree, text fiction to
four nine, four or five one. In the Pirate Bowl
Sunday up next, Ian Fornesse will join me. No, it'll
be oh Ian's off paping. I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
But Jessmin said she she got us.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Jessmine McIntyre, who I'm going to the Army Navy game
with next week, will join us next on ninety three
point three kJ R. Fam, Welcome back to the Great

Belt Show with Christopher Kid and now with Jessamine McIntyre,

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Lot of time with next week. When we go to
the Army Navy game.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
And it's gonna be awesome. Just got all the digs
on that in the last couple of days. Going to
have a media row from Arlington National Cemetery. It's only
the second time the Army Navy Game has ever been
in the DC area. The other time it was twenty eleven.
It's going to eat all kinds of brass. Will be there,
as they say in the military, from the Pentagon, from
the White House and State Department Army Navy Game. The
(30:25):
broadcast for the Army Navy Game will be live from
Radio Row Media Row in Orrington, Virginia, outside Washington, d C.
With Jesson Mcentary myself on December the thirteenth of Friday,
the day before the Army Navy Game.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
And we're putting you to work for an extra hour
that day.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yes, you are well worth it.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
We'll be on from ten to one that day.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Well worth it.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
It'll be great.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Hopefully we'll have no Navy guests and all Army guests. Yeah,
never do that.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
You got to be pypartisan for this song.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
They never let me do that.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, well I won't. I won't let you do that.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Were you torn on Sunday, Jets fanned.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Uh you know, it was a win wind for me.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
My day was better yesterday because the Seahawks won. And
I'm not an Aaron Rodgers fan, and at this point
of the season, I'm rooting for.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
A better draft pick anyway from New York.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
So yeah, I mean the game was just bonkers, though,
So I was torn by what the heck is going
to happen?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I was my flight was delayed coming back from Pullman, which.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Another debacle hole that I don't want to talk about,
and so I got to watch basically the whole thing,
just sitting there and eating some lunch. And my most
exciting was sitting down and seeing the Leonard Williams pick six.
I was going to be excited if he just made
it ten yards.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
So yeah, I mean I wasn't very torn. No, I
thought it was good. I wanted the Seahawks to win,
to be honest, they have more to play for.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
They sure do.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Then in first place going to Arizona this weekend, a
second place team. When that Leonard Williams interception happened, we
were in an angle in the press box, kind of
corner end zone watching he was running at us. Oh,
and when he started to run, I thought, there's a
chance he might score a touchdown here because the Aaron
Rodgers didn't even run.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
He stood there.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
He just gave up.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, didn't even move and he took like one step
and just stood there. And then the only guys left
were Jets linemen and they were not getting outside quickly
at all. And then the whole Seahawks team was back
down there. The only one that wasn't there. I noticed
Boy Mafey because he was too busy taunting in Aaron
Rodgers's face.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
I respect it if running down the field of block
and Mafay turned around and was talking smack into Aaron
Rodgers's face.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And I think I might ask him about that this week,
you should.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
I was. I was listening to Lennard Williams sposed Game
Prize conference too, and how he was like, I thought
I might make it fifty yards.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
And then he looked around.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yes, I know, and he said Witherspoon was telling him
keep running, yes, because he was running down the sideline.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
The whole team was telling him to keep running. Yes,
from the sideline, and that's why. And then we got
to the end zone. He said Kobe Bryant jumped on
his back and I mentioned it Chris.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
When he got to the sideline, I had the monocars
on him. He was sucking the oxygen. I mean like
you could see the.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Sit out the next series because they had to go
right back on the field.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Yeah right, because they had to kick off again exactly
and he was sucking that oxygen mask.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
And well deserved. Eat that air.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
My friend the epic play. He should be Player of
the week. They'll announce that tomorrow. He might be player
Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
If he keeps us up, he will be tomorrow. He
will be at least an NFC Defensive Player of the week.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yes, what do you have on the show today? With
Ian who is remote?
Speaker 8 (33:40):
We do have an abbreviated show due to the early
cracking game, so we're only on twelve to two. We
have John Ryan coming on at twelve twenty. I'm very
excited to talk to him about coach Holmgren. We were
texting this morning and he is thrilled about his nomination
for the Hall of Fame and we have a cougar roundtable.
It is that should be I'm not sweet, it is
only bitter, but there's a lot that we dig into
(34:03):
in that conversation when it comes to the future of
the program.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
So we've got that. So we are on from twelve
to two.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
We've got a daily power play with some very interesting
line changes happening for the Kraken, who have a three
thirty pre game four o'clock puck drop. They're taking on Carolina.
Just so everyone out there knows Softy and Dick taking
over it too. They're going from two to three thirty
today leading up to the crack and pregame show.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
So we have a lot to squeeze into a small
time window today and we're going to do the best
that we can.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Welcome to the two hour window. Do you think do
you think dickerchtays.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Yes, I don't think he would have announced the firing
of his defensive coordinator personally if he was leaving.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
What do you think the arbuck will go into Oklahoma
impacts the.
Speaker 8 (34:46):
Program, decess I I do not see that as an issue.
In my personal opinion is that teers more tied to
Coach Dicker than he is to our buckle. That's just
my personal opinion, but that would be the only reason
(35:08):
I would care about that move. I'm okay with it,
and I don't know what Oklahoma's looking at, to be honest,
but go get yourself your next wonder kid like you
did with Alex Gritch.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Had that got bitter, honest, koog jessmin.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
The season's over.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
We got a bowl game ahead of us.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
What games are looking like?
Speaker 8 (35:28):
It sounds like Vegas, Son or the Holiday Bowl they
were at Actually at our game.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I don't think that did say favors for San Diego,
but there's a chance.
Speaker 8 (35:39):
So those are the three. But I would say Vegas
and Son are most likely in.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Any potential matchup they Son and be an ACC team
if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 8 (35:48):
Yeah, with all of the fluctuation in the conference realignments,
I don't even know anymore.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
I don't know what they're they're keeping them the same,
which is why right the PAC twelve old PAC twelve
pole alignments are.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
Still in Right, But with everything that's going on and
without the championship weekends having happened yet, that's just going
to have so many domino effects that I don't I
don't even know.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
So the Huskies will probably go to one that the
Cougars don't.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Yes, yeah, I mean one of the lower ones. Hopefully
they go to the sun.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Jessmine Mackina is not my friend.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
No, I could get snow there. That's an interesting play.
Although it's a fun bowl, it's an interesting bowl. Yeah,
And Fornas will be with Jessmine next from twelve until
two and so Factor Fiction will be two thirty five
with Dave Softy Moller and Dick Fame and then there
is no Factor Fiction at three thirty five today because
of the pregame in pre game with Mike Benton, So
(36:37):
just to get you up to speed on that. In
and Jessmen are up next to ninety three point three
KJRFM
Coach Ryan Day this, you had everything going for you,

(01:40):
Epstein's going to join us next after headlines brought to
you by Frostbrewed Corslight, Choose Chill. The Seahawks are without
head coach Mike McDonald for the time being because he
left to be with his wife Stephanie the eminent birth
of their first child.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Pretty darn good reason to leave a football team.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
It occurred to me that we never talked about this
with Pete Carroll in fifteen years the team to have
a baby because he was seventy two years old.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Thirty seven year old Mike McDonald.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
And his wife Stephanie all the best of them as
they await and maybe it's already happened, the birth of
their first child.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Leslie Fraser was taking the question yesterday.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
The assistant head coach in the day after press conference
lease Seahawks before Mike McDonald went away with his wife
Cut Laviiscus Hanal, the kickoff return of veteran kickoff returner
former Colorado star who fumbled two kickoffs against the Jets.
Cut the day later. I wouldn't be surprised if Dee
Williams is not beck returning kicks either. He's been doing
that with Schanal on Sunday, when the Seahawks and Cardinals
(02:36):
played for first place in the NFC West one oh
five pm, Channel seven locally, Jameis Winston a four hundred
yard passing night last night, but through two picks sixes,
the Broncos rallied to beat Cleveland forty one thirty two
at home Denver, now eight and five, firmly an AFC
playoff contention.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
The Browns fault of three and nine.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
The NFL suspended Houston's disease Al Shier three game for
the hit on sliding Trevor Lawrence that knocked the Jaguars
quarterback out of their game with the Texans on Sunday.
The Kraken begin a tough road trick East tonight in
Caroline against the Hurricanes. Pregame show at six thirty with
Mike Benton puck drops seven pm. Excuse me, that's East
Coast time. I was writing that yesterday from New York.
(03:16):
Pregame show three point thirty with Mike Benton puck drop

(03:39):
Last night in college basketball, Washington State's men's team improved
a seven and two beat Nevada in Reno, sixty eight
to fifty seven. That's a good win for them, and
that is six and two. Jory Epstein is joining us,
joining s on the Beacon Plumbing high Line. Excuse me,
it seeks Pizzas presenting on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Seeks Pizza homegrown in the Northwest.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Joey Epstein joined us every Tuesday at eleven o'clock, and
she joined us now from New York. Hello, ma'am, I
hope your week is a little less chaotic as last
week was.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Absolutely, we are settling in. We have no more plugs
than the apartment, so I am doing great. How are
you guys doing? And how did my city, New York
treat you?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It was fine.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It was beautiful cold, but for a West Coaster, a
little chili twenty five degree wind chill. But yeah, I
was I was looking for you. I thought maybe i'd
see a jump into the press box. You didn't want
to go see a three and nine team on a
twenty five year degree windchill Sunday.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
It's very tempting that I instead skipped Jet Seahawks and
right wrote off the Raiven's Eagles games. So it was
a tough call between which of those games is going
to be more Betel.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, very tough call. You made the right one.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Tell us about the Eagles, what's going on with them?
To go down to Baltimore and just thump John Harbaugh's
boys on their home field, shut down an offense that
has been scoring forty plus points against most teams. I think,
if I'm not mistaken, that was like a twenty one
to six type game into the fourth.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Quarter, right.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Absolutely. The thing about the Eagles is we expected going
in that they should be able to do something on offense.
This is a team that has Jalen Hurts, they have
a J Brown and DeVonta Smith. That offensive line has
been one of the best in the league perennially with
their offensive line coach, even without Jason Kelsey. And then
you add Saquon Barkley to the mix and it's really
just which problem do you want to deal with because
(05:27):
you're not going to be able to stop them all.
But what we didn't realize about the Eagles coming into
this season is their defense is way ahead of where
I thought it would be. They're in their first year,
Sayango as their coordinator, a couple of games they needed
to get going earlier in the year, but now their
two rookie corners are really stepping up. They've got a
linebacker and Zach Bond who spent four years as a
(05:48):
New Orleans special teamer and now is on his way
to All Pro I mean, leading the league in solo tackles, interceptions, fumbles.
I mean just amazing. And so I think when you
have those kind of pieces on defense playing the way
that they are and stepping up, that really helps contain
an offense that has Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
While we're on the subject of Eagles Ravens, what's going
on with Justin Tucker? I mean, he's one of the
best ever and he booms it from everywhere up to
sixty yards and he seems to never miss. And what
is he now? He's missed four in the last two games.
I think it is in Is there a concern? I
actually look at it now. He was two for four
against the Eagles one for three two weeks ago at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
They ended up losing that game by two points. Is
there Justin Tucker concerned? I know Harbor will say no,
But what do you think is going on there?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah, it's a great question. And those are the field
goals he missed, but he also missed extra points, and
so in total he missed three kicks this Pack game.
That's two field goals and an extra point, so seven
points in a five point fos and he's ten kicks
already the season in games to his career. I think
it's important to note a couple of things. The first
is that Justin Tucker is still a very good NFL kicker.
(07:02):
We've seen kickers that have an injury, let's say that
they're growing at their leg or something that keeps them
from being able to make the kicks. That's not what
Justin Tucker appears to be dealing with. He still made
a fifty yard field goal this pass game. We also
have kickers where they have the yifs and they just
cannot make fiald goals and they're missing a bunch of
chip shots. He would miss a field goal or an
extra point, and then he made them afterwards. So this
(07:22):
wasn't something that he didn't make any kicks. That said,
they have always been able to rely on him from
pretty much any business they wanted, and now all of
his misses have come from forty plus range. And so
I think if you're the reasons, what you need to
do is if you don't want to lose a playoff
game because miss kicks, which I think that a tune
has already been so close, And then added Derek Henry
(07:42):
certainly has playoff hopes and deep playoff hopes you probably
need to readjust your decision making calculus and understand, well,
under forty Justin still reliable, But over forty it's not
that we should never trust him in the reality is,
I would be shocked that they could find a kicker
who they can trust more than Justin Tucker at this
point and season. It's not thirty two good kickers in
a week, and Justin's the one of the better ones.
(08:04):
He's just more normal than fantastic now. But you do
need to consider at the longer distances if you should
maybe go for it on fourth down a couple more times.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
To that point, Jory.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
In twenty twenty two, when Justin Tucker led the NFL
thirty seven of forty three field goals made, he was
nine of fourteen from fifty plus. The last two seasons combined,
he's five for fourteen. He's this year, he's seventy percent
on his kicks. In twenty twenty one, he led the
NFL with ninety five percent field goal percentage. He's on
(08:34):
the seventy right now. So to your point, yeah, the
Raven's gonna have to drive deeper to feel like they
can score. This is Joey Epstein's her weekly visit with
us on the Beacome Plumbing Hotline. Thanks to Zeke's Pizza

Speaker 6 (08:51):
Jory Jamis Winston, he is setting the world on fire
from eaton W's to his I don't know how to
describe his pregame speeches with reporters, but he is definitely
an entertainment factor and then he plays, for the most part,
some good football. He did have two big pick sixes
against the Denver Bronxs and that Monday night game last night.
But I'm curious, are is this team really looking forward
(09:14):
moving forward with Jamis four hundred yard night man, he
was lighting it, I know, but.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
There's always This was four hundred and ninety seven passing
plus eleven. He was over five hundred yards of total offense,
which is just insane. But yeah, four hundred ninety seven
passing alone, four touchdowns, three interceptions. Everything that good that
could happen did happen to Jamis Clinston against the Denver
Broncos at a nine point loss. And I think when
I look at it, there's two elements. There's the offense
and the defense. I thought that Troy made a great
(09:40):
point on the Color Analysis last night when he said
that even the defense is looking better when James is playing,
and there is just more energy across the team, and
the way he put it, he sent quote to Shaun
Watson is the albatross. And so I think that you
have to ask yourself, is you have to see what
Jamis is able to do. Can he play a little
more cleanly? Which he has more cleanly the second half
(10:01):
of his career, show to say than he did toward
the end of his Tampa when if he had thirty
interceptions in the season. But I think that you also
have to realize that whether it's Jamis or somebody else,
the team should not go back to de Shaun Watson.
It doesn't matter how much dead money. I mean, I
think last night it's the perfect games and talk about
that because they were playing a team that was willing
to take on eighty five million dollars in big cap
(10:22):
space for Russell Wilson who was playing at a much
better level than Deshaun Watson, and look what they've done.
So I think that's what the Cleveland Browns can take
from last night. Isn't don't keep letting a bad decision
get worse because you're not willing to move on.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The moral of that story is, don't pay a quarterback
who's got all kinds of issues two hundred and fifty
eight million dollars all guaranteed. You don't back yourself into
that situation. That's how desperate the Browns were a quarterback, Jory,
what Thanksgivings?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I mean, that was a weird Thanksgiving for the Bears,
to say the least.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The Eberflus press conference.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
What was all that about? And not on a coaching search?
And I don't remember a coach getting fired on a
Friday before. The whole thing is weird, just weird. Haven't
covered the league as long as I have. Yeah, the
team's losing, so they fire their coach, but how they're
doing it just seems weird.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
What's funny to me, Gregor you understand us having covered
leagues longer than I have, is if the Bears had said, look,
it's Thanksgiving weekend, We're not going to have a press
conference tomorrow. We've got ten days before the game. We'll
give you the press conference Monday. I've been I mean,
I covered the Cowboys for seven years, and they would
always have Mike McCarthy talk on Friday after Jason Garrett,
whoever it was, they would have someone talk on Friday.
(11:36):
But there's every work in a while when you say, look,
this is not a normal schedule. So the Bears argument
for having eager Face get up there a couple hours
before he was let go is that it would look
weird to stay delayed it. But they could have preempted
this from the beginning by just saying it's a holiday weekend.
We changed the schedule. That happens in the NFL all
the time. And then you have yesterday. So Monday, Bears
(11:58):
president Kevin warren gets up there, General Manager Ryan Poles
also at the podium, and they're like, well, we didn't
want to say anything until if he had told his
family we want to talk to him directly. We were
still making the decision. We could have done better. And
then Kevin Warrens goes on to say, first of all,
he has confidence in GM Ryan Poles, and Poles is
going to be the general manager Ryan Board, which is
a little bit of a bold move because whether or
(12:20):
not you think Ryan Poles has done a great job,
there wasn't a lot to gain by expressing your confidences,
and yesterday, clearly he's still there if he's sitting next
to you at the podium. And the downside is what
if you have a head coach like sen Johnson, He says,
I want to bring my GM with me if you
want me, I'm bringing my GM. Well, now, what you
dug yourself into a hole where you committed to a
GM who by no means have put together a winning team.
(12:41):
On top of that, you have Kevin Warren saying this
is going to be the most coveted job in the
National Football League. And an executive texted me after that
from a team that does not need to coach right now,
and said, if you have the most coveted job in
the National Football League, you do not have to say
that you have the most coveted job in the National
Football League. And I thought that was a great way
to put it. So, I don't know. It was a
(13:01):
little wild to me that Thomas Brown seems like the
most like poised and articulate and in control member of
the three of them who spoke when he's the one
least likely to be with the Bears. In twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Five, the Bears have had so many coaching changes over
the years, yet this is the first time they've ever
fired a coach in his first during his first season.
And if you can point to a reason, why is
it the play calling? Is that the game management decisions. Yeah,
they're four and eight, but their offensive line might be
worse than the Seahawks. What would you say went wrong
(13:34):
for Eberflus And you mentioned Ben Johnson. There's no way
in hell the Lions are going to let Ben Johnson
be the bears next head coach. Are there any other
candidates you could think of? Ben Johnson's gonna be on
everybody's radar. Of course again this offseason.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Great.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Yeah, So just one quick note on never because it
wasn't his first year, but it was his third year
as the Bears coach. But this is the first time
as the Bears have ever fired a coach in season
as opposed to Missaid. So people definitely expected that to
come at the end of the season rather than now. Like,
I don't think many people thought that he befoot was
keeping his job. He was already on the hot seat
(14:09):
going into this year. But now I think what they
worried about is that Okay, you've got a rookie quarterback.
He's the number one overall pick. You need to show something.
I mean, also a kind of a saved your job
if you're Kevin Warren and Rampoles. But the problem with
their strategy is the best thing that THEIRS did in
the last few weeks was after they fired offensive coordinator
Shane Waldrins. And you guys know very well Thomas Brown
(14:29):
has the offense improving significantly, the quarterback's improving significantly. Now
they elevate him to interim head coach, well, he is
still calling place, but he's got all this other stuff
on the plate, like give the head coach job to
someone else, And what's the guy who's finally doing something
right to help your quarterback develop, which would be your
number one goal and what's going to be a lost
season from a record standpoint, keep doing what he's doing,
(14:50):
and they chose not to do that. So that's definitely
tricky in terms of who would come there. I think
they're going to have a debate, which is, do you
want the best offensive mind who can create the best
means in the best coaching for your quarterback, or do
you want what Kevin Warren said yesterday is the quote
leader of men, and that was a term that team
owner George mccafs he tweeted out as well. And from
all accounts, when people are on the league, I hear
(15:11):
that they want more of the latter. I mean, people
keep telling me that that there want their equivalent of
Mike Tomeron And so I think, who is that going
to be? Who can really set the culture independence of
who the play color is. I think that's dangerous because yes,
maybe you'll have a culture, but if you do well,
your coordinator's leaving after a year, and Caleb's already going
to have three offensive coordinators in his first year, likely
(15:32):
four by the beginning of next year, And so what
are you going to do given five and three years.
It's not really a recipe for success. But I will say,
in addition to Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, the Detroit Lions
defensive coordinator, definitely has a lot of respect around the
league and definitely has that the expectation that he will
come in instead a culture in a really impressive way
the way that Mike Tomlin has in Pittsburgh. So he
(15:53):
would be a name of mind. Mike Rabel definitely is
an interesting name, just because of the way he established
a culture before as well.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Seahawks at Bears in twenty three days in Soldier Field
in Chicago the day after.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Christmas, Jory, I saw Aaron Rodgers up close.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I've been covering him for all twenty years of his career,
and I rarely see him throw as errantly as often
as he did on Sunday. He missed a wide open
Garrett Wilson for what should have been the touchdown to
make a twenty eight to seven The play before the
Leonard Waiams pick six, on which Rodgers got fooled by
Mike McDonald and his scheme dropping a nose tackle in
the coverage. Do you see a future for Ann Rodgers?
(16:28):
It certainly doesn't look like it's in the Jets. We
talked to Antoine Daily the New York Daily News on Friday,
and he said he doesn't see any way possible that
Aaron Rodgers stayed with the new regime coming in.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Do you think he plays next year?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Do you think we're watching the last month of Aaron
Rodgers' long, storied career.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Look, I think that we don't expect to see Aaron
Rodgers playing with it us for several reasons, including the
fact that Aaron rodgers public comments have become pretty self preservation,
like where he was asked after the game against the Seahawks,
what went wrong and if he's healthy, why isn't he
making the throws? And he said some of them around
me for sure, some of them are my fault. Other
times there were issues with the details elsewhere. And I'm
(17:07):
not saying that that's not true. I agree with Aaron
Rodgers if there were other people who made mistakes in
the game besides him, But as the quarterbacks of a franchise,
you don't say that like everyone knows that implicitly if
you're the head. I mean, this is one of the
reasons that the Bears didn't keep head coach Maddie for Poose.
The team felt he wasn't taking accountability, and so I
think as Aaron Rodgers starts going increasingly towards defending himself
(17:27):
at the expense of his teammates. It was one thing
to do it to one player Mike Williams, the receiver
who he was able to get moved on the trading block.
But when you structured so much of the team around
Aaron Rodgers friends and teammates, then you need to take
more accountability than that. I do think that Aaron Rodgers
is going to get another job off or if he
wants it next year. I think that he's got way
too much talent for coaches to not convince themselves that
(17:49):
they have plenty left in the tank. And I also
think that, I mean, I know we have so many
Aaron Rodgers and Brett Farv comparisons, but Farv when he
went to the Gets for the year, had twenty two
touch down to twenty two interceptions. I think he was
thirty nine years old at the time, thirty eight, so
just a couple of years younger than Aaron Rodgers. The
next year, he goes to the Vikings, goes twelve and four,
(18:10):
leaves the league in lowest interception percentage, So I think
that he would not be the first one to bounce back.
And also given that he's only in his first year
coming off the Achilles, there is a perspective around the
league that whether it's acl or Achilles, all of those
things are not going to be quite right in your
first year back. It's really your second year. So I
think whether or not Aaron Rodgers will play well again.
(18:31):
Is a legitimate question whether teams will convince themselves that
they should hire him again. I don't think that's in question.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Aaron Rodgers turned forty one yesterday.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Say what you will about Gino Smith, but when he
was leading the league in interceptions, he says, it's me.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I got the ball and I have to be better.
He doesn't say about factors and all these other things
that talked about. Jory. Where are you at this weekend?
Speaker 5 (18:54):
This weekend I will be home again, so plenty of
games on the road, and then Monday I will go
to Deall. We've got the owners meetings in the Dallas
area this coming week, so will not be at a gamble.
They got the owner's meetings and I'll be and labor
someone are there at the front office, so plenty of
relevant people in the same place. And that was to
the accelerator program for the front officer as well. So
(19:15):
I'm excited to get a sense of what the buzz
is there and report back to you guys from Dallas
next week.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Thursday Night Packers, Lions, they got Falcons, Vikings. The Falcons
are sinking. What game intrigues you the most this weekend?
Bill's Rams. There's a couple of good ones in the Seahawks,
Cardinals have a decent one down in the desert within encourage.
What intrigues you most?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I mean that person one really is hard to talk
to Packers and the Lions. I think it wouldn't surprise me.
It's a division game that, even though the Lions might
be a stronger team and a more consistent team, when
you go in division like that and just what's going
on there, there has to be a time when someone
gets the best of the Lions right, and that might
actually end up being one of the best things that
could happen to the Lions. So I would definitely imagine
(19:58):
that we will get a good game there.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Ninety three Packers at eleven to one Lions, Thursday night
right here on ninety three point three KJRFM at five
point fifteen. Joy, Thank you, enjoy your weekend. We'll enjoy
trip back on to Dallas. We'll talk to you next
week from Dallas, apparently.
Speaker 5 (20:10):

Zeek's also sponsors former Sea arkspunter John Ryan. Talking at
twelve twenty Today with Ian Farness after our show, she
says she thinks Aaron Rodgers is going to get a
(20:35):
job somewhere, and he's probably gonna want to have jobs
somewhere the next to play. And she also just pretty
much shakes her head at what's going on with Chicago
firing a coach in the middle of a season for
the first time in that long storied history. Thomas Brown,
She's written about and if you can go to Yahoo
Sports and Jory search her story on Thomas Brown, the
former offensive coordinator play color elevated from position coach to
(20:59):
play caller to head coach in the span of about
three or four weeks now in Chicago again. The Seahawks
play at the Bears a day after Christmas. That's after
they played Green Bay in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Back to back. The Seahawks road up here.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
The next four or five weeks, the final five games
is absolutely no picnic at Arizona for the division lead.
On Sunday, Green Bay Minnesota back to back. That's nine
to ten win teams back to back at home, then
at the Bears on a short week on a Thursday
night the day after Christmas, then a ten day rest
before they go at the Los Angeles Rams, who have
already beaten them this season, to finish the season in Inglewood.
(21:33):
That's January fifth or sixth, and that game is probably
going to mean something for the division title. By that,
I'm next four nine, four to five one to tell

Speaker 6 (22:39):
Speaking of long flight from the two oh six, you
think your flight is long? Next month, I'm flying to
the Philippines thirteen and a half hours, then another four Yeah,
that sounds like hell on a plane, but.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Best of luck the other side would be awesome though
very well. Yes three six.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
So while the Seahawks all hung up on Sharberonnet, I
literally can't stand seeing him on the field. Funny thing though,
when he's go the touch tow. My wife looked at
me and said, isn't that the guy who said is
absolutely worthless and should be cut?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
That's hilarious when your wife is like, huh, your wife,
are you sure about that? Did he just score? And
you're like, well, it's an attentive wife. So Greg, what's
up with that? You know?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
They think he's a bruising back. And he did break
the linebacker's tackle attempt, although it was a weak feeble attempt.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Did you notice Actor that Abe Lucas fell.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Down and got in the way of the linebacker on
that play? And part of the reason that Sharbeney scored
is because Abe Lucas was a roadblock laying on the
ground falling and the linebacker missed the play. But there's
no doubt in short yardis they think Jack Sharbennay can
break tackles better than Kenneth Walker. I don't see why
Kenneth Walker doesn't is not on the field every time
(23:46):
they're in short yard each and goal line.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I just I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I just don't fair perception, I guess because the results
sure don't say that.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, let's get to it. It's time for listeners to
win how much already? Wow?
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, we're late one thousand dollars from the Emerald Queen Casino.
But if you listen to our show, I mean twenty
two times I've won, Chris, you won what eight nine times?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Thirty times?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
You could be a winner if you just picked fact
on our show, you'd win ten thousand dollars from the
Emerald Queen Casino, which is next week's grand prize coming
up right now.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Where's that to go? Glad you're with us, it's your
shot at our wed.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Ten thousand. It's brought to you by the Emerald Queen Casino.
You don't have to do tough sports football season loss.
His team just played Very Sports Radio and they barely lost.
(24:47):
You're so excited for this, she talked right over the
open for this must be good. Everybody knows it's back
of fixing time. And with that being said, the NFL,
where Chris always goes, you know what, It's a tough
for me to make, but I think they can get
it done. They're at home, So go ahead, clear's throat,
(25:09):
Go ahead and give me.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Wow. The more I think about it, the harder it gets.
Go ahead. Can I guess what you're gonna do?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
No, no, no, I'm taking the Tampa Bay Bucks minus seven.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Nobody cares about radeers. I don't know if they care,
but the spread is seven. I'm taking the Buccaneers to
win by eight or more points. So give me the
Bucks minus seven at home against the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Almost beat the Chiefs exactly. They were right there.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
I don't think if someone would have picked the Raiders
plus the points against the Chiefs, no one would have
did that. But I do think they gave a lot
of energy to that game. They played their butts off.
They were right there. I mean a fumbled snap here
and there, they might have won the damn game. They
were field goal range, dang near. So go ahead and
give me the Buccaneers minus seven at home against the
(26:08):
scrappy black hole Raiders.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
All right, Buccaneers minus seven.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
If you agree with Chris and think that the Buccaneers
are going to win by eight or more points over
the Raiders in Tampa on Sunday, ten am local time,
our time, text fact to four nine, four to five one.
If you disagree and you think the Raiders are gonna
keep it within a seven point game or perhaps even win,
text fiction to four nine four to five one, you
have twelve minutes after which time, ever, it'll be two
thirty five with the inf Nets, three thirty five with
(26:36):
Dave Softy Muller and Dick Fane, and again.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
The contest ends this week.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
So this is it. Stock up on your chances now
to try to win, because if most times the win,
that person gets ten thousand dollars from the ameral quenus.
You know you only have to win once to get
the thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
The funniest text I got in here four two five, Thanks,
I picked against you on both Army birth Notre Dame,
and one each time.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well you know what that was me? That was you.
Well it's still funny. It's what I'm getting to.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
But nonetheless, Keith Miller texting Baker Baker turnerver maker.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I know, I understand, but I think they can handle
business at home.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
They have a good running back duo of Rashot White
and what's his name played at Oregon. Oh my gosh,
I'm drawing a blind Bucky Irving. So yeah, run it
down their throats. Have a good game, Make me happy,
Give me some more ws.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All the great games this weekend in the NFL. Packers Lions.
That's a tough one to pick, are you?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Chargers, Chiefs, Bill's Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You go with Raiders, Buccaneers. Those are hard games to pick.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yeah, I know this one feels a little easier, but damn,
I was very close to taking Oakland plus points, But no,
I'm not. My final pick is going to be the
Buccaneers minus seven at home against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Text in fact the Ford one four or five to one.
If you agree, and if you're a hater, it's okay,
(27:56):
I understand. You can text in fiction to Ford one four.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Or five one. And once covered a Raiders Buckinger Super
Bowl in San Diego. Oh won Greg? How far that was?
When John Gruden to every play the Raiders were throwing.
And I say, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
The Raiders boldly didn't change any of their audibles, any
of their calls.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's when Tampa too was big.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yes, Tony Dungee the defense coordinator. Four, it might have
been Money Kiffin at the time. Actually for John Gruden
in his first year, the Raiders played the same audibles,
the same line calls, the same everything that that John
Gruden had him doing the year before.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It didn't change a thing.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yea, And so Gruden knew every call John Lynch was
calling the deep the plays out Here comes Rice on
a cross, here comes Brown on a dig. He picked
him off three times. Pick sixes just killed him. After
the game, I saw John Gruden down in the tunnel.
He was going to the press conference. I was heading
the Raiders locker room.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
He goes, how do you like that? Blank and blank?
Oh he was, he was. He was loving it. Man.
John Gruden was hilarious to cover. You know what you
should do. You should go on YouTube and watch John
Gruden's break down. I see that new thing. Fabulous it is.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
You gotta put your mouth piece in and get your
big boy pats because they're.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Coming Raiders at Buccaneers. Chris says, Buccaneers minus the seven,
the win by eight or more. If you agree, text
factor four happy there. If you disagree, text fiction to
four nine, four or five one. In the Pirate Bowl
Sunday up next, Ian Fornesse will join me. No, it'll
be oh Ian's off paping. I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (29:27):

You got to be pypartisan for this song.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
They never let me do that.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, well I won't. I won't let you do that.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Were you torn on Sunday, Jets fanned.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Uh you know, it was a win wind for me.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
My day was better yesterday because the Seahawks won. And
I'm not an Aaron Rodgers fan, and at this point
of the season, I'm rooting for.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
A better draft pick anyway from New York.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
So yeah, I mean the game was just bonkers, though,
So I was torn by what the heck is going
to happen?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I was my flight was delayed coming back from Pullman, which.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Another debacle hole that I don't want to talk about,
and so I got to watch basically the whole thing,
just sitting there and eating some lunch. And my most
exciting was sitting down and seeing the Leonard Williams pick six.
I was going to be excited if he just made
it ten yards.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
So yeah, I mean I wasn't very torn. No, I
thought it was good. I wanted the Seahawks to win,
to be honest, they have more to play for.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
They sure do.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Then in first place going to Arizona this weekend, a
second place team. When that Leonard Williams interception happened, we
were in an angle in the press box, kind of
corner end zone watching he was running at us. Oh,
and when he started to run, I thought, there's a
chance he might score a touchdown here because the Aaron
Rodgers didn't even run.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
He stood there.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
He just gave up.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, didn't even move and he took like one step
and just stood there. And then the only guys left
were Jets linemen and they were not getting outside quickly
at all. And then the whole Seahawks team was back
down there. The only one that wasn't there. I noticed
Boy Mafey because he was too busy taunting in Aaron
Rodgers's face.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
I respect it if running down the field of block
and Mafay turned around and was talking smack into Aaron
Rodgers's face.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And I think I might ask him about that this week,
you should.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
I was. I was listening to Lennard Williams sposed Game
Prize conference too, and how he was like, I thought
I might make it fifty yards.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
And then he looked around.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yes, I know, and he said Witherspoon was telling him
keep running, yes, because he was running down the sideline.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
The whole team was telling him to keep running. Yes,
from the sideline, and that's why. And then we got
to the end zone. He said Kobe Bryant jumped on
his back and I mentioned it Chris.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
When he got to the sideline, I had the monocars
on him. He was sucking the oxygen. I mean like
you could see the.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Sit out the next series because they had to go
right back on the field.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Yeah right, because they had to kick off again exactly
and he was sucking that oxygen mask.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
And well deserved. Eat that air.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
My friend the epic play. He should be Player of
the week. They'll announce that tomorrow. He might be player
Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
If he keeps us up, he will be tomorrow. He
will be at least an NFC Defensive Player of the week.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yes, what do you have on the show today? With
Ian who is remote?
Speaker 8 (33:40):
We do have an abbreviated show due to the early
cracking game, so we're only on twelve to two. We
have John Ryan coming on at twelve twenty. I'm very
excited to talk to him about coach Holmgren. We were
texting this morning and he is thrilled about his nomination
for the Hall of Fame and we have a cougar roundtable.
It is that should be I'm not sweet, it is
only bitter, but there's a lot that we dig into
(34:03):
in that conversation when it comes to the future of
the program.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
So we've got that. So we are on from twelve
to two.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
We've got a daily power play with some very interesting
line changes happening for the Kraken, who have a three
thirty pre game four o'clock puck drop. They're taking on Carolina.
Just so everyone out there knows Softy and Dick taking
over it too. They're going from two to three thirty
today leading up to the crack and pregame show.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
So we have a lot to squeeze into a small
time window today and we're going to do the best
that we can.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Welcome to the two hour window. Do you think do
you think dickerchtays.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Yes, I don't think he would have announced the firing
of his defensive coordinator personally if he was leaving.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
What do you think the arbuck will go into Oklahoma
impacts the.
Speaker 8 (34:46):
Program, decess I I do not see that as an issue.
In my personal opinion is that teers more tied to
Coach Dicker than he is to our buckle. That's just
my personal opinion, but that would be the only reason
(35:08):
I would care about that move. I'm okay with it,
and I don't know what Oklahoma's looking at, to be honest,
but go get yourself your next wonder kid like you
did with Alex Gritch.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Had that got bitter, honest, koog jessmin.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
The season's over.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
We got a bowl game ahead of us.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
What games are looking like?
Speaker 8 (35:28):
It sounds like Vegas, Son or the Holiday Bowl they
were at Actually at our game.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I don't think that did say favors for San Diego,
but there's a chance.
Speaker 8 (35:39):
So those are the three. But I would say Vegas
and Son are most likely in.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Any potential matchup they Son and be an ACC team
if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 8 (35:48):
Yeah, with all of the fluctuation in the conference realignments,
I don't even know anymore.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
I don't know what they're they're keeping them the same,
which is why right the PAC twelve old PAC twelve
pole alignments are.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
Still in Right, But with everything that's going on and
without the championship weekends having happened yet, that's just going
to have so many domino effects that I don't I
don't even know.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
So the Huskies will probably go to one that the
Cougars don't.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Yes, yeah, I mean one of the lower ones. Hopefully
they go to the sun.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Jessmine Mackina is not my friend.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
No, I could get snow there. That's an interesting play.
Although it's a fun bowl, it's an interesting bowl. Yeah,
And Fornas will be with Jessmine next from twelve until
two and so Factor Fiction will be two thirty five
with Dave Softy Moller and Dick Fame and then there
is no Factor Fiction at three thirty five today because
of the pregame in pre game with Mike Benton, So
(36:37):
just to get you up to speed on that. In
and Jessmen are up next to ninety three point three
