(00:26):
The seahawks two main injury issues won't get any clarity,
at least till tomorrow. Mike McDonald said yesterday that he
has nothing new to say about running back Kenneth Walker's
of Doninald Payne or right tackle George fance injured knee.
He called both quote day to day issues. Ahead of
the Seahawks game Sunday at New England. The Seahawks and
forty nine Ers are each one to zero and the
Rams zero to one in the NFC West after the
(00:47):
first weekend of NFL play. That's after the Niners overcame
an early deficit and beat Aaron Rodgers in the Jets
last night thirty two to nineteen. Reserve running back Jordan
Mason one hundred and forty seven yards for injured Christian
McCaffrey didn't clay because of a calf issue. The Rams
are playing at the Cardinals in the Desert on Sunday,
while the forty nine ers play at the one and
oh Minnesota Vikings. The Chicago Bears say rookie running back
(01:09):
rookie wide receiver Roma Dunze from the Washington Huskies has
a strained medial collateral ligament in his knee. That's the
same injury that Seahawks linebacker in Chennu Nuosu has had
for the last couple of weeks, and it's missed at
least one and probably multiple games. Same within doonesay, the
top ten pick is expected to miss multiple weeks for
the Bears. The Kracking announced this morning if they resigned
(01:30):
that defenseman Adam Larson for four years and twenty one
million dollars, an original Cracking expansion DAFT pick. Larson has
played in two hundred and forty five of two hundred
and forty six games in Cracking history. He led the
team on ice time last season, and the Manners are
back home playing San Diego tonight in a two game series.
The Managers are three games behind Minnesota for the last
(01:51):
wild card spot in the America League, four and a
half back at Houston in the Al West with eighteen
games remaining, so it's time to start watching the score
for Minnesota games, not the trash Cans. George Kirby starts
tonight for the MS against San Diego ju Darbus six
forty first pitch on Root Sports, the NFL picks a
(02:12):
hiatus for two whole days before Thursday Night Miami and.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
There you go, thank you. I remember the top of
my head.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Tongue time Miami Buffalo on Thursday night. That's the week
Thursday Night game. Jory Epstein, senior NFL writer for Yahoo Sports,
brought to you by Zeke's Pizza, joins us for the
first time. She's going to be in this time slot
every Tuesday through the NFL season.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We're happy to have her on the team. Jory.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We're gonna have to get you some Zeke's Pizza for
coming on the show. We'll have to send that out
to You're still in Dallas, right, I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
In New York now, so we'll see you oh across
the country and we'll be pretty excited if it does,
but awesome, be honest, wee Segondis. I'm excited about this
week and excited about the season.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Thank you, Jory, I didn't rush you in New York.
Thanks for setting me straight on that. So your impressions
of big picture, I'll just give you a big picture,
blank canvas to start your impressions of maybe what surprised
you are most intriguing from the first weekend of NFL games.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, I mean, I think you see the first weekend.
I'm always so cautious about the overreactions of like, hey,
this quarterback play is great, all right, Well, maybe Baker
may Said was playing against Washington's defense but still figuring
things out. Hey, this quarterback looks terrible. Well maybe Deshaun
Watson was playing without his left tackle, right tackle and
starting running back. And so I think that I just
(03:36):
love week one because we start to get a sense
of everything. We're going to figure out what realistically, Like
we taught with Tom Brady for years, We've even peen
out with the Chiefs. The best teams aren't peaking in September,
they're peaking in December, January, February, And so I think
it'll be fun to continue to see with all these
teams that start sehn, can they keep it up with
the teams that didn't like? How are they going to
(03:57):
fix this?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Speak enough by Are we being a little too hard
on my man on his first broadcast game live for
the NFL? Or is it fair critiques of someone that's
trying to get into this side of communication?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah, it was funny. I was in Clason this weekend
for the Cowboys Browns game, so I was listening to
the broadcast from the press box while also kind of
paying attention to what was in front of me. I
love me doing a decent cheat like I think to
me's it didn't feel distracting, like I would be more
concerned if I felt like there was something so wrong
that I wasn't able to focus on the game. I
was able to focus on the game. And I think
(04:36):
something that Tom has working for him is when he
praises someone, it just means more coming from someone who's
wont sent in Super Bowls than like, if you or
I do it, or maybe if I do it y'all,
y'all's praise might be equivalent to Tom Brady. Who am
I to say? But I think that he did have
like some great inpat so I don't think anyone should
have expected him to be ready to go in week one.
(04:57):
I think, if anything, it just feels weird to have
him with us on that call for that many hours.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
This is our new weekly visit with Jorry Epstein, senior
writer for the NFL, for Yahoo's Sports.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It brought you by Seek's Pizza.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Homegrown in the Northwest. Order online at seeks Pizza dot com. Joy,
you were in Cleveland, and I would think it's such
a Jerry Jones move to give a record contract to
your franchise quarterback hours before he's about to take the
field in the opener sixty million per year.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Did the timing surprise you? Did the money surprise you?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I think when we talked to you last month, you
said you thought this would get done, but kind of
peculiar timing right before the opener and day of no.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yeah, I actually did not think this would get done
this fall. And here's why Dak Prescott had so much
more leverage than the Cowboys, because there is a lot
more demand of quarterbacks than supply. The Cowboys had no
succession plan. This isn't something where like, hey, if something
happened with Kirk Cousins. You got Michael Pennant's waiting. The
Boys had Cooper Rush was a great backup, but like
(06:02):
not a starter, and they've seen that for a lot
of years. And then Trey Lance, who has shown that
he certainly not ready to take over the reins, and
the Cowboys were going to have to just hope that
they're offer financially, and what they could offer Dak from
a team standpoint in the spring was going to be
sufficient because they could not franchise tag him given the
way his contract is set up. And so I was
so unsurprising that I got a notification on Instagram of
(06:27):
like Todd France, Dack's agent, essentially accepting my request. But
really it was just that he turned his request his
profile public aboun hour before the deal went down, and
I didn't even think twice about it because I was like, oh, okay,
that's like funny timing. I wonder why Tod decided to
accept my request. I'm getting ready to go out for
a run, I'm outside stretched waiting for my GPS to start,
and the deal comes down. So I did not expect
(06:50):
it because I just thought that Dak had more leverage.
But I think when you look at the numbers that
my surprise at the deal getting done is why I'm
not surprised at where the numbers ended up, because sixty
million dollars is crazy. Like a lot of times we
see the newest quarterback. If they're able to reset the market,
reset it by about a million a year, maybe two.
Now we're going from three guys who are at fifty
five million year average on the new deal to sixty
(07:12):
million and deck and oh, by the way, he also
got two hundred and thirty one million in guarantees, which
beat Deshaun Wattson's two hundred thirty and guarantees a very
large percentage of that deal. I think it's close to
ninety six percent, when his last deal was about ninety
percent guaranteed. But I think if you look at it essentially,
you would as what would have happened if they negotiated
in the spring, and if the Cowboys weren't willing to
(07:34):
offer that money, which that benchmark was sixty million, they
weren't going to get the deal done. And I think
Jerry John's not nostalgic and said, hey, look I'm getting older.
I'm eighty two years old, and I don't want to
be without a quarterback in the final years of my life.
And while I am not saying it is the final
years of jerrysis Verry dispeld back, I want you to
be the quarterback for the rest of my life. And
Dack's like, great, I want you to be around more
(07:55):
than the next five years. But that's sort of like
a little bit of what I think was going on
from the emotional standpoint and from the financial standpoint.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Do you think, ultimately Joy by waiting, they paid more
or that's something you It makes you sound like it
was going to be sixty million to get it done
no matter what.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, I think that's what dack side would have said, like,
if it's not sixty million, we'll wait till the spring.
We're comfortable with that. Dak had played out the final
years on contract before he even did it and had
a grouse mangle injury and still reset the quarterback market.
I also think that to say that Jerry should have
gotten it done earlier, Jack's side, I don't believe would
have taken that deal earlier, both because of the quarterback
(08:35):
deals that got done during training camp and also just
because they did not feel the pressure. Also, with this
being his second contract, it's not the difference between if
he gets the money, like he's he set for life
and he's set for generations. Now he's even more set.
But you have a little bit less leverage than on
a player who is their first time to really get
that big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Deshaun Watson signed that megadeal five year, two hundred and
thirty two years ago, and of course not of course,
unfortunately he is back in the news with another lawsuit,
accused of sexual assault from twenty twenty. Is there a
way that the Browns could potentially get out of this deal,
considering that he hasn't been playing will and these allegations
(09:12):
are interrupting the season.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, I think it's very interesting, and I think it's interesting,
like why is this coming out now? Typically these things
don't end up in the news for no reasons. This
is not a new case. This is a case from
twenty twenty, So I think that we have to asked
ourselves why this is coming out now. I was actually
looking ato Shawn Watson's contract to they a copy of that,
and there are clauses in it that say basically basically
(09:40):
talk about whether the team can hold them responsible, and
then they have in parentheses excluding the specific facts just
closed to club and writing pursuant to et cetera, et cetera.
And so I think the question will be, is this
allegation something that Browns knew about previously? Is this allegation
something that Deshaun Watson had told the Browns about previously?
If it's not, can they prove he knew it and
(10:00):
should have told them about And I think that's where
we get into it. But Jenny Browns into the New
York Times, who's been reporting on this for a while,
did say that they're getting their special counsel for investigations,
Lisa for Real, involved, to investigate it. So I don't
think that the nature of these allegations are going to
be treated the same by the NFL. Whether that gets
the Brounds out of the contract, that's kind of like
(10:21):
step two after an NFL investigation, which I don't think
will be a short investigation.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It would be almost joy.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
This is joey Epstein, a senior writer for y'all Who's Sports,
joining us on the Beacon Plumbing hotline thanks.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
To Zeke's Pizza Joy.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It would be almost negligent malpracticed by an agent for
not disclosing that if it's written into the contract that
if we do disclose everything, the contract valid, would it not.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Right? You would definitely think that it would be disclosed.
And I think also, I guess the question is why
was there's something like sixty six incidents of Deshaun Watson's
Like it sounds like almost silly to say, but do
you almost forget some of them when not many happened?
If you're doing something like this so often, and this
one happened to also not be a massage is what
(11:05):
the allegations were saying. It was this woman thought she
was going on a date, And so I do think
that kind of takes it out. But also, let's say
we're trying to disclose all of the massage related incidents
and then they didn't view this as one that gets
a little complicated. So do I think they was probably
in their best interest to disclose everything? Yes, But do
I think that the likelihood of just general human memories
(11:27):
and the number of things that seem to be relevant
here to disclose something kind of forgotten as possible?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Absolutely crazy? That two hundred and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, yeah, that's insane. I just let's move on. Yep,
that's some what I watched Tobe.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It always says, Jory, your impressions from AFAR of Mike
McDonald's debut and what the Seahawks defense looked like. Did
it look anything to you like the Baltimore Ravens defense.
What'd you think of the debut?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I mean I think that it looks good. I think
what's most impressive to me is not necessarily a single play,
but the fact that to start off as ruff as
Seahawks sit and then be able to climb out of
that hole, to be able to have the defense keep
fighting when the offense did not have an opportune start,
that to me, is such a good time for Mike
McDonald's ten you're in Seattle, because you kind of get
that buying like do you want to go down? Do
you want to have the safety? Do I have an
(12:17):
early tack interception?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
All that?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Of course not, but I think that when you redown
from that, that really is so key in setting the
culture and the foundation for the team going forward with
this new coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Jory being very charitable there to say it was an
inopportune start for the office, and we use some other
adjectives out there.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Jory, your impressions of New England say opportune.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I know you did not that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Your impressions of New England post Bill Belichick that go
into Cincinnati, most people think they're going to get boat
raised and they hold Joe Burrow in the Bengals to
ten points. And reminder, Stevenson runs for one hundred and
twenty hundred and eighteen after contact.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Is this who the the Patriots could be?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, I thing because we always have to do predictions
for Yahoo, and I predicted Joe Burrow as the MVP
and the Patriots to have the top pipe of the draft.
And then of course the Patriots go and beat the Bengals.
I will say the Bengals for the last several years,
even when they figured it out the end, they've lost
their early games, which kind of takes them some time
to settle in. And so I do think the Patriots
(13:20):
probably had a better chance against them in week one
than they would have been week ten. But still I
was not expecting it in the same way gives mcdonaldsar
you got to give Jeron Beyo from credit to I
do think that in terms of their run heavy scheme,
that's going to be what they're looking like throughout the season.
They've been very open about that. Jacoby Brissette kind of
like what y'all thought about next. He's not going to
(13:40):
be just lighting up the scoreboard. And I think that
their goal is, Hey, if we can win some games,
if we can figure our offensive line, if we can
kind of see where our defense is without Matt Juden, without.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Blinking who has the blood clots, but without some of
those key pieces, then really that's what the Patriots need
to do before they figure out what they want to
do with Drake May their quarterback.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I was going to say, as long as they're winning,
they don't need to rush Drake Man.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Do you expect to see him mid season or at
all this season? Is this a red shirt year in
your mind?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah, Christian Barmer was the name I was looking for.
But I think that you at least need to get
through that early stretch of toper defenses, which I would
put Seattle in that category. I mean, maybe you guys
will not, but I think that they're not going to
be an easy defense to go onst especially with what
might be sound was able to do for steaming, and
then you really see because if your team is winning,
you don't want to mess with that. There's really so
(14:35):
much more to gain than to lose by sitting Drake
for a year. And then also to me, it's what
the offensive line is going to be. I don't have
a question mark about whether Drake personally has the skill
set to succeed. I think he does. I think the
question is if the team around him is not going
to support him, then do you end up risking that
this guy's going to get hit all this time? This
guy is going to be seeing ghosts. And I've asked
(14:57):
a lot of evaluators around the league about that, and
they really don't belie that you should just throw a
guy out there. Also, this is not like the Patriots
are contending for the super Bowl this year in most
of our minds, and so I think you just when
you're at the point in the rebuild that the Patriots are,
you should really be thinking about what stets for twenty
twenty five. And I'm not specifically twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
The Washington Commanders fire VP of Content. That whole story,
I don't know what to think of it. First of all,
I didn't know there were undercover sports reporters. I don't
even know if that's crazy. By the way, Jory, have
you heard of that before in that role? On what
was going on there? It just seemed it seemed like
TMZ but on another level. And I was just curious
how other reporters journalists thought about this news that came out. Obviously,
(15:41):
there were some crazy things that he said on the video,
but it was so well put together and so strange
at the same time. What was your reaction to all
that news coming out of the with the commanders.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, I'm not saying huge job like obviously you can't
be saying the comments he said. Obviously. Also, the commander
don't really have much will or room in terms of
what they tolerate from a diversity, equity, inclusion tolerance standpoint,
Like they have such a checkered a few months or
not a few months, but I'm such a checkered like
recent decade plus. Also, it's not just an NFL matter,
(16:16):
like they went to Congress with Dan Snyder's issues, and
so I think that they kind of have to be
pretty strict on this. On the other hand, I agree
with you, like the way that the information cannot made
me a little bit uncomfortable because I think that there
is a regional expectation of privacy and I was actually curious.
I hadn't looked at the law. But yes, you can
(16:36):
be filmed in public if you're out in public. So
I don't know if your audio can be filmed when
you're having a conversation with someone and released and not
be legal. So it'll be interesting to see what legal
ramifications this fired VP has, even though clearly the common
temade are unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, it is unethical at best. And Jory, you and
I have done this for more than a day. As
a reporter, you absolutely declare whether it's on or off
the record, and you absolutely declared that you're a reporter.
If you're intending to report something, you don't meet somebody
even for coffee. You don't even bump into someone on
the street and ask him a question you intend to
report without declaring you are actually a reporter.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
That that's just.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Absolutely And I just hope that people don't view this
and be like, this is howeveryone's getting their information and
we are not getting our information that way.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Correct. It made me think that I don't even know
how do I even phrase this, because when I watched
that video, I thought maybe she was just a regular
girl on a date and decided to send this information
in for whatever reason. I don't know her at all,
but that was kind of one side I was thinking.
But then she was asking pretty basic questions and that
kind of gave me the journalistic standpoints. I was just
(17:43):
really confused as to who this young lady was. Was
there any news on to who she had they announced
who she is? If she's just a regular bystander that
recorded this information, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
A great question that I don't totally know the answer to,
but I will say that's another thing is as a
woman in the industry, and you sometimes have players a
coaches being like, oh, yeah, go go on a date
with me. I'll give you the information. And that drives
my female friends and I crazy. Maybe my male friends too,
But my female friends and were talking about this a
few days ago because that's not how we get our information,
and no, that's not how this works, and so several
(18:17):
layers of why this is frustrating and challenging.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It doesn't surprise me that apparently that's happened to you.
Jori but sadly, how did you handle that?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
How did I handle? Like? I have an age? Have
you ever group texts a player? And I was saying
that if if I went on a date with the player,
then they would give me the information. And I'm trying
it was I mean, it's been several years, like probably
six years, and I'm trying to remember I either didn't respond.
I know I didn't do it obviously, but I don't remember.
(18:50):
It's whether I didn't respond or if I kind of
like put a professional line. But that's why even one
like as a woman in the industry, you get someone's
phone number, I'm always and my introductory text story at
sign Yahoo Sports is forward to working together, that type
of thing, just to make very clear that this is
a professional working really so.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So sad you have to do that, but oh my yeah,
yeah that's a group text to a player too.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
That's even worse.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, it was special.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I could tell you it was Okay, onto something better.
What are you looking forward to in week two? What's
the most intriguing game or storyline that you're going to
be checking.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Out for Yahoo?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I mean I think one of the things that kind
of we were talking about the beginning of this college
how real is week one? Like? What can we tell
from week two about how real one is? Like? Can
the Browns kind of turn it around? The Cowboys? Okay,
the Cowboys look great, but now they're unning aast the
Paints team that was pretty good against Charlotte or against Carolina,
and so are they going to be able to take
that next step? I think that we start off the
(19:52):
week with Bills and Dolphins on Thursday Night football, and
I'm excited about the Asps. I think even with the
Deatch performance last night, it's going to be kind of
a feisty division, especially if the Patriots end up pisty.
I would love that. And then I want to see, Hey,
Jim Harbaugh's team, can they continue looking strong? They're going
against Carolina, so probably so can the Rams rebound without
(20:14):
who's in the Kila? I mean, there's so many good stories.
I think here that's easy in the season, and every
think I'll say its the Bengals. I know we talked
about how full they start, but they also historically have
had Patrick Mahomes numbers sometimes and so when they're going
against the Chiefs, like if they can get right against Kansas, City.
I think that they will not have much concern at
all about what happened against the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Jory Epstein, thanks a lot. It's great to catch up
with you. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We will talk to you next Tuesday thanks to Zeke's Pizza.

Greg, Chris, great talk y'all. Talk to you next week.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Jorry Epstein, senior NFL writer for Yahoo Sports who joins
us every Tuesday now on become Plumbing Hotline thanks to
Zeke's Pizza homegrown in the Northwest or online at zeekes
Pizza dot com.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I'll save the fancy question for next week. That's what
it matters. She could be two and oh.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
An agent group texting with a player asking to get
her out on a date.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So give her information. If you want a data girl,
be upfront and do it yourself. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's the peak of the world that I have worked
in for. And I'm a man, imagine being a woman.
In Yeah Next Your Text four nine and a top
amore Dude text on eleven thirty five, Christopher Kidd tries
to get off the deck in Factor Fiction That's All
Next on ninety three point three KJRFM. Hi, welcome back,
(21:43):
Greg Bella, the newstributing Christopher Kidd with you. Ian fornessl
joined us at eleven forty five. Factor Fiction brought to
you by The Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest, will be at eleven thirty five. Just reminder,
the only two and oh picker last week in kJ
our sports staff is the one that's speaking to you
right now. Flex maybe man of the people. Probably the
(22:05):
last chance I can do it, So yeah, I'll flex
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You never know, man, Our boy Jimbo went like eleven
and oh for at one point final loss. So you
can get hot and stay hot. So I believe in you. Greg.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Please read the four two five Bama text to leadoff.
I think you can read it. Go ahead. Four five
says if Chris Kids said BAMA was going to play
Bellevue High School and BAMA was going to win, we
got to put her money on Bellevue, right.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I don't know what it is, man, I don't know
what it is, but you know what, it's crazy. My
Factor fiction pick is similar to that. Oh that's the
gap that is That is how big the gap is
between these two teams playing. I think, okay, so hopefully
I actually we're just gonna move on. We talked a
little bit about fantasy earlier, so I found out today
(22:54):
from the two five to three there is zero delay
in picking up a free agent, and y'allhooks, it's instantaneous.
So that's a pretty cool thing. I didn't know that.
So if you're in Yahoo, you get you want someone, bam.
That's really cool. There's also from the two o six
a strategy that Chris is not talking about. You could
have put McCaffrey in the flex spot and just in
(23:15):
case something happened, you could have a receiver from either
side and you can plug them in on your flex spot.
But the problem is you have to have a receiver
from either of those teams. That's the tricky part if
you don't have a reflex spot. So basically it could
be a tight end running back receiver specialist essentially, but
it's a skills position, skill set position, so receivers tight ends.
(23:38):
So like xavier're worthy, you're probably a decent flex because
you can do a kick return point and exactly so
Charles Cross probably not no, unless you know what. There
are leagues where you can draft defensive players, but I
don't know. I don't know anything about that, so I'm
moving on now. This is from seven four seven our guys,
(24:00):
Real Rob. Thankfully, my girlfriend woke me up at four
to thirty to tell me that CMC is out. I
think the fantasy guys for having Mason there are still
twenty minutes left before kickoff, and also Greg Seahawks even
showed out. Do you think the offense has what it
takes to score more consistently.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
If their offensive line gets better, maybe, yes, they have
the skill positions to do it. I have some question
for Real Rob four thirty am. His girlfriend got him
up at four thirty am. Sorry, PM, what's you sleep
at four thirty pm?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
FORO? You must have add gigs till what three am?
That's interesting. Let us know what you were doing to
have you sleeping at four to thirty buddy.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
That's a good life. Man gets good. Had my daughter
from the four to two five look up Christian McCaffrey
online on our way to soccer practice, and that's how
I found out I won this week because he was out.
I think you guys should do one segment on fantasy football.
But you say, Greg, Yeah, I told you. I. Well,
let's do that. I'll just yield to you. We'll figure
out something. I know. Ian has one. I think everyone does,
(24:59):
doesn't don't, don't we do it? Maybe think I don't
know about that? Well, nonetheless, that's fine. That's pretty cool.
Your daughter to look up Christian McCaffrey. I wonder if
you had to spell it for her. She knew it already. Okay,
here's some background from the two five to three. I'm
in Yahoo League. We have waivers. It's based on how
the Commissi sets it up. That's another thing. So commissioners
(25:19):
can get very funky and do a bunch of different things.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That is also true. But you know what time it is, Greg.
One one thing two oh six says from the Apple Cup.
My son is a student that you dub and Doug
Peck season ticket member. Though the Apple Cup wasn't a
part of the packings, we talked about that it was
available as an add on and he got two tickets
for ninety dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
So thank you for that information. Two o six appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Now it's time for your chance to win one thousand
dollars on Factor Fiction.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
For's set to go.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, brought to
you by the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Make the beautiful new week you.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
See sports Bookie your home All football season long, fact
or Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point three
KJR FM.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Here the music. I'm going to NFL. I'm gonna make
it really easy. Chargers heading on the road to Carolina
Panthers right now. Minus six and a half at Carolina,
So you know what that means. Texts in fact Chargers
minus six and a half versus the.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Panthers, Chargers by more than seven and Carolina over the
Dave Kno, you already giving up on them?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Giving up? I don't know if you saw the highlights.
Excellent was thirty seven nothing. I think defense is bad.
Bryce Young looks bad. I think the Chargers can run
the football pretty well. Waxing not pretty well. JK had
over one hundred and forty yards. If I'm not mistaken,
Dube was running all over the field. I expect the
Chargers to be able to run the ball effectively. I
(26:59):
expect Herbert to have have some success throwing down field,
and hopefully the Chargers defense does their job and they
should win by a touchdown. On more so, text in fact.
If you're with me or fiction, all right, four nine
four five one factor fiction, I am taking the Chargers
minus six and a half against the Carolina Panthers. A'll
right there you go.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Chris gonna get our show off to roll and start
with the Chargers winning by seven or more. Hopefully you agree,
hopefully disagree fact or fiction.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Fact one. If you disagree with Chris and.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You like the texture, who thinks of Bama played Bellevue
and he picked Bama, you.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Pick Bee, then you pick fiction. I feel this is
a great scenario for that. This is equivalent. It's pretty close,
all right, outside of Adam Thielen for the Panthers, who
else they got.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Overreaction Monday, overreaction tuesdays to the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Part of me is like, man, maybe I should go
the other way, but you know what, it's unusual to
have a touchdown underdog.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
At home in the NFL. Yes, it doesn't happen often.
It does not happen too often. Well, that shows two
and two. We were tied for second. I heard hean
call it tied for la next to last, but also
tied for second. This show was three and one last week,
so we were two and two.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
We could have been four and oh but the textans
don't want to play defense. You know how many guys
say that every week? Let me better say that, yes,
fire all this fire the DB's because they don't know
how to play the ball. Alec Pierce running all of
it down the field. My guy Anthony Ridgson falling down,
throwing off his back foot. What is this? This is
backguard football?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
The NFL five words army in the under. You want
to win on factor fiction? Just stick with me, kids,
Chris Kid says, Chargers minus six and a half over
the Panthers. He's gonna lay the points. Do you agree
if you do a text fact to four nine four
fot one. If you disagree fiction the four nine four
(28:54):
or five one, you have about nine minutes to do
that before the window closes, and then the next window
will be two thirty five. All of that is thanks
to the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest. Again,
how it works is the most winners for the entire
season eligible ten thousand dollars grand prize at the end
(29:15):
of the season. Each week you can win a thousand
dollars for winning the most times All the winners actually,
excuse me, All the winners will be put in a
pot a hat and will draw a name out of
the winners for the week, and you can enter as
many times as you want. There's twenty chances, four times
a day for five weekdays between Monday and Friday on
each so seven thirty five, eleven thirty five, two thirty
(29:37):
five and three thirty five. Your next chance is with
the I in Forness two thirty five Factor Fiction brought to
you by the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest and in fact the Mayor and Maple Valley.
The in Furness is up next on ninety three point
three KJRFM. Welcome back Greg Bell of the News of
(30:04):
you in Christopher Kidd, finishing the second of two hours
here on ninety three point three kJ r FM. If
you miss Factor Fiction for this hour, too bad, because
the window just closed right.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yep, window was officially closed.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So six and a half minus six and a half
Chargers at Panthers.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
That was Christopher kids pick.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't know if the Panthers are that bad, though,
maybe they are that bad. I Infiness may or Maple
Valley joining us.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, I looked at that. I'm in a survivor pool
and I looked at that game and I thought of
it for a second game. But there's no in that one.
There's no no point spread.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh so right when?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, but even then, I don't know why I was
nervous with that.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I just cause the Panthers could have a great game.
There you go say it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Well, the quarterback hasn't been good at all.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
He hasn't and that's kind of this year, you know.
That's kind of what I'm leaning on.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Maybe at some point they'll let Justin Herbert be Justin Herbert.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Jim Harbor might not maybe running. Maybe Dave Kanalas will
have something for the Panthers this weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Chris, I hope he has success. He's a good dude, man.
I hope he has success. But that's I think he's
in for a rough one there in Carolina. You know
what you think about I don't think ever we understand
here in Seattle, and I'm on my soapbox. Sorry, but
I don't know if Seahawks fans understand they got it
pretty good here because mirroring the Seahawks run during the
(31:31):
Pete Carroll Heyday and even the last fifteen years, for
a chunk of that, it was, Carolina was kind of
side by side with you. Yeah, right, consistently good. They've
been consistently bad now for a while. Like, to be
good and competitive year in and year out in the
National Football League is hard to do without taking a big,
big step back. Carolina is a good example of that.
(31:54):
Like they have not been the same name, Drey McCaffrey.
Their two stud linebackers retire one medically. You know, they
had a great offensive line for a long time, right,
you know Cam was an MVP hammer running backs, right,
Jonathan Stewart, who else it Williams? Right, the other right
is Angel D'Angelo. Yeah, Like, right, they've had dudes there,
(32:19):
Cam Newton, of course, Steve Smith, Steve Smith. Like, they've
had guys and they're not good right now. They're a
long ways away. So it's kind of nice to enjoy
football every year. If you're a Seahawk fan, you should
you should never take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Grass ain't always green or elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's not, it's not. And the difference is is you
want to they want to win. They don't want to
just be competitive fifty four percent. They want to actually
win win. But yeah, it's Carolina's an interesting case study
because it feels like they've been down for a couple
of years now, and maybe down for a while.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
They've had ownership issues, changing coaches, you know that.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, that's the other thing, right, ownership is went south.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Look at how steady Seattle has been. I mean, you
basically can draw it's Paul Allen doesn't pass away. He's
still the owner right now, right, and Jody Allen takes
over and does it exactly the way her brother did
with the same general manager and coach for fourteen years
until January and now still the general manager for going
on fifteen years. Yeah, that's absolutely we're not just in
(33:16):
the NFL, but in sports.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
The contrast with Jody as the owner here Jody slash Bird,
I guess, but you know Jody's ultimately But the contrast
between that here in Portland.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I know you're going to say it is striking. Yes,
it's just it's it's wild and the perception from the
fans in Portland.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I meant say today, I I we don't know how
it's going to go down. None of us really know
what's in that trust and what's exactly. I think she's
going to find a way to buy it, really I do.
I think she is. I think I think that'll be
I think they'll keep it somehow.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
On there.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
There's so many suitors who could drive the price of
the franchise up higher than it's already valued.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Right, And what scares me about that is what we're
just talking about. I like consistency. I've gotten she did
something last year that took a lot and it was needed.
But to move on from Pete, I don't know. I'm
okay with status quo here. With that, there's another a
team I like to see get sold.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But an NFL franchise. The valuation of an NFL franchise
in this market, with this corporate base and whether you're
talking Amazon or I mean, the people that could drive
that price up and the co investors, if you've got
a consortium, would she say no to that to keep it?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Probably not? I mean, And like I said, I just
there's part of me wonders if she can find to
find a way to make it happen, to keep it
so called in the family. But I mean, may it
may be impossible. I like status quot because I think
what status quo is. Since Paul bought the team's some
pretty damn good. I mean, they had the one year
with Maura that was a colossal mistake on everyone's part.
But you know, letting Ruskill kind of have more power
(34:52):
than Mic. But outside of that, it's pretty and they
rectified it staff of a finger, like they didn't wait.
They didn't wait a tount of money, and they didn't care.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
From what you know about Portland, do you think the
Blazers are absolutely getting sold? She would retain that she
didn't care about basketball. That's the difference. She doesn't care
about pass compared to Paul. Compared to Paul. Yeah, Paul
was kind of the other.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Way, right.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah, the debut the John Ryan Show, all right, he's
going to join too.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I don't know you should do that at some point.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'll just if that happens, I'm just gonna put the
headset down and let them do the thing. And they
could just do their thing. We'll talk to John Joe
Shean's weekly visit talking all things baseball one o'clock and
then coming up at two o'clock today our Cougar round
table with MK and Alex getting ready for the highly
highly anticipated half empty stadium Apple Cup on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
We talked about that.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
The ticket situation, Yeah, too expensive.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
If they were like one fifty base or face value
when they came out.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Who organizes that?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
It's first and goal. That is first and goal. I
got that one hundred percent of first in goal thing.
We decided to play here this year. The athletic director
at Washington it was at.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
The time the athletic director in Pullman. Sorry about that
because he has his coup gad on.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Sorry, no more comments, no further much like the what's
his face last night of the forty niners. That's why
I don't like talking to you guys.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Oh yeah, that's why I don't like talking to you guys.
Beat writers doing their job. Yeah, getting ripped.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Don't worry fell with twenty three's back on the field,
We're not talking yay.

the COR's Light Choose Chill Frostbury Corps Light Choose Chill All.
(00:26):
The seahawks two main injury issues won't get any clarity,
at least till tomorrow. Mike McDonald said yesterday that he
has nothing new to say about running back Kenneth Walker's
of Doninald Payne or right tackle George fance injured knee.
He called both quote day to day issues. Ahead of
the Seahawks game Sunday at New England. The Seahawks and
forty nine Ers are each one to zero and the
Rams zero to one in the NFC West after the
(00:47):
first weekend of NFL play. That's after the Niners overcame
an early deficit and beat Aaron Rodgers in the Jets
last night thirty two to nineteen. Reserve running back Jordan
Mason one hundred and forty seven yards for injured Christian
McCaffrey didn't clay because of a calf issue. The Rams
are playing at the Cardinals in the Desert on Sunday,
while the forty nine ers play at the one and
oh Minnesota Vikings. The Chicago Bears say rookie running back
(01:09):
rookie wide receiver Roma Dunze from the Washington Huskies has
a strained medial collateral ligament in his knee. That's the
same injury that Seahawks linebacker in Chennu Nuosu has had
for the last couple of weeks, and it's missed at
least one and probably multiple games. Same within doonesay, the
top ten pick is expected to miss multiple weeks for
the Bears. The Kracking announced this morning if they resigned
(01:30):
that defenseman Adam Larson for four years and twenty one
million dollars, an original Cracking expansion DAFT pick. Larson has
played in two hundred and forty five of two hundred
and forty six games in Cracking history. He led the
team on ice time last season, and the Manners are
back home playing San Diego tonight in a two game series.
The Managers are three games behind Minnesota for the last
(01:51):
wild card spot in the America League, four and a
half back at Houston in the Al West with eighteen
games remaining, so it's time to start watching the score
for Minnesota games, not the trash Cans. George Kirby starts
tonight for the MS against San Diego ju Darbus six
forty first pitch on Root Sports, the NFL picks a
(02:12):
hiatus for two whole days before Thursday Night Miami and.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
There you go, thank you. I remember the top of
my head.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Tongue time Miami Buffalo on Thursday night. That's the week
Thursday Night game. Jory Epstein, senior NFL writer for Yahoo Sports,
brought to you by Zeke's Pizza, joins us for the
first time. She's going to be in this time slot
every Tuesday through the NFL season.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We're happy to have her on the team. Jory.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We're gonna have to get you some Zeke's Pizza for
coming on the show. We'll have to send that out
to You're still in Dallas, right, I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
In New York now, so we'll see you oh across
the country and we'll be pretty excited if it does,
but awesome, be honest, wee Segondis. I'm excited about this
week and excited about the season.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Thank you, Jory, I didn't rush you in New York.
Thanks for setting me straight on that. So your impressions
of big picture, I'll just give you a big picture,
blank canvas to start your impressions of maybe what surprised
you are most intriguing from the first weekend of NFL games.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, I mean, I think you see the first weekend.
I'm always so cautious about the overreactions of like, hey,
this quarterback play is great, all right, Well, maybe Baker
may Said was playing against Washington's defense but still figuring
things out. Hey, this quarterback looks terrible. Well maybe Deshaun
Watson was playing without his left tackle, right tackle and
starting running back. And so I think that I just
(03:36):
love week one because we start to get a sense
of everything. We're going to figure out what realistically, Like
we taught with Tom Brady for years, We've even peen
out with the Chiefs. The best teams aren't peaking in September,
they're peaking in December, January, February, And so I think
it'll be fun to continue to see with all these
teams that start sehn, can they keep it up with
the teams that didn't like? How are they going to
(03:57):
fix this?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Speak enough by Are we being a little too hard
on my man on his first broadcast game live for
the NFL? Or is it fair critiques of someone that's
trying to get into this side of communication?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah, it was funny. I was in Clason this weekend
for the Cowboys Browns game, so I was listening to
the broadcast from the press box while also kind of
paying attention to what was in front of me. I
love me doing a decent cheat like I think to
me's it didn't feel distracting, like I would be more
concerned if I felt like there was something so wrong
that I wasn't able to focus on the game. I
was able to focus on the game. And I think
(04:36):
something that Tom has working for him is when he
praises someone, it just means more coming from someone who's
wont sent in Super Bowls than like, if you or
I do it, or maybe if I do it y'all,
y'all's praise might be equivalent to Tom Brady. Who am
I to say? But I think that he did have
like some great inpat so I don't think anyone should
have expected him to be ready to go in week one.
(04:57):
I think, if anything, it just feels weird to have
him with us on that call for that many hours.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
This is our new weekly visit with Jorry Epstein, senior
writer for the NFL, for Yahoo's Sports.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It brought you by Seek's Pizza.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Homegrown in the Northwest. Order online at seeks Pizza dot com. Joy,
you were in Cleveland, and I would think it's such
a Jerry Jones move to give a record contract to
your franchise quarterback hours before he's about to take the
field in the opener sixty million per year.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Did the timing surprise you? Did the money surprise you?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I think when we talked to you last month, you
said you thought this would get done, but kind of
peculiar timing right before the opener and day of no.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yeah, I actually did not think this would get done
this fall. And here's why Dak Prescott had so much
more leverage than the Cowboys, because there is a lot
more demand of quarterbacks than supply. The Cowboys had no
succession plan. This isn't something where like, hey, if something
happened with Kirk Cousins. You got Michael Pennant's waiting. The
Boys had Cooper Rush was a great backup, but like
(06:02):
not a starter, and they've seen that for a lot
of years. And then Trey Lance, who has shown that
he certainly not ready to take over the reins, and
the Cowboys were going to have to just hope that
they're offer financially, and what they could offer Dak from
a team standpoint in the spring was going to be
sufficient because they could not franchise tag him given the
way his contract is set up. And so I was
so unsurprising that I got a notification on Instagram of
(06:27):
like Todd France, Dack's agent, essentially accepting my request. But
really it was just that he turned his request his
profile public aboun hour before the deal went down, and
I didn't even think twice about it because I was like, oh, okay,
that's like funny timing. I wonder why Tod decided to
accept my request. I'm getting ready to go out for
a run, I'm outside stretched waiting for my GPS to start,
and the deal comes down. So I did not expect
(06:50):
it because I just thought that Dak had more leverage.
But I think when you look at the numbers that
my surprise at the deal getting done is why I'm
not surprised at where the numbers ended up, because sixty
million dollars is crazy. Like a lot of times we
see the newest quarterback. If they're able to reset the market,
reset it by about a million a year, maybe two.
Now we're going from three guys who are at fifty
five million year average on the new deal to sixty
(07:12):
million and deck and oh, by the way, he also
got two hundred and thirty one million in guarantees, which
beat Deshaun Wattson's two hundred thirty and guarantees a very
large percentage of that deal. I think it's close to
ninety six percent, when his last deal was about ninety
percent guaranteed. But I think if you look at it essentially,
you would as what would have happened if they negotiated
in the spring, and if the Cowboys weren't willing to
(07:34):
offer that money, which that benchmark was sixty million, they
weren't going to get the deal done. And I think
Jerry John's not nostalgic and said, hey, look I'm getting older.
I'm eighty two years old, and I don't want to
be without a quarterback in the final years of my life.
And while I am not saying it is the final
years of jerrysis Verry dispeld back, I want you to
be the quarterback for the rest of my life. And
Dack's like, great, I want you to be around more
(07:55):
than the next five years. But that's sort of like
a little bit of what I think was going on
from the emotional standpoint and from the financial standpoint.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Do you think, ultimately Joy by waiting, they paid more
or that's something you It makes you sound like it
was going to be sixty million to get it done
no matter what.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, I think that's what dack side would have said, like,
if it's not sixty million, we'll wait till the spring.
We're comfortable with that. Dak had played out the final
years on contract before he even did it and had
a grouse mangle injury and still reset the quarterback market.
I also think that to say that Jerry should have
gotten it done earlier, Jack's side, I don't believe would
have taken that deal earlier, both because of the quarterback
(08:35):
deals that got done during training camp and also just
because they did not feel the pressure. Also, with this
being his second contract, it's not the difference between if
he gets the money, like he's he set for life
and he's set for generations. Now he's even more set.
But you have a little bit less leverage than on
a player who is their first time to really get
that big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Deshaun Watson signed that megadeal five year, two hundred and
thirty two years ago, and of course not of course,
unfortunately he is back in the news with another lawsuit,
accused of sexual assault from twenty twenty. Is there a
way that the Browns could potentially get out of this deal,
considering that he hasn't been playing will and these allegations
(09:12):
are interrupting the season.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, I think it's very interesting, and I think it's interesting,
like why is this coming out now? Typically these things
don't end up in the news for no reasons. This
is not a new case. This is a case from
twenty twenty, So I think that we have to asked
ourselves why this is coming out now. I was actually
looking ato Shawn Watson's contract to they a copy of that,
and there are clauses in it that say basically basically
(09:40):
talk about whether the team can hold them responsible, and
then they have in parentheses excluding the specific facts just
closed to club and writing pursuant to et cetera, et cetera.
And so I think the question will be, is this
allegation something that Browns knew about previously? Is this allegation
something that Deshaun Watson had told the Browns about previously?
If it's not, can they prove he knew it and
(10:00):
should have told them about And I think that's where
we get into it. But Jenny Browns into the New
York Times, who's been reporting on this for a while,
did say that they're getting their special counsel for investigations,
Lisa for Real, involved, to investigate it. So I don't
think that the nature of these allegations are going to
be treated the same by the NFL. Whether that gets
the Brounds out of the contract, that's kind of like
(10:21):
step two after an NFL investigation, which I don't think
will be a short investigation.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It would be almost joy.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
This is joey Epstein, a senior writer for y'all Who's Sports,
joining us on the Beacon Plumbing hotline thanks.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
To Zeke's Pizza Joy.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It would be almost negligent malpracticed by an agent for
not disclosing that if it's written into the contract that
if we do disclose everything, the contract valid, would it not.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Right? You would definitely think that it would be disclosed.
And I think also, I guess the question is why
was there's something like sixty six incidents of Deshaun Watson's
Like it sounds like almost silly to say, but do
you almost forget some of them when not many happened?
If you're doing something like this so often, and this
one happened to also not be a massage is what
(11:05):
the allegations were saying. It was this woman thought she
was going on a date, And so I do think
that kind of takes it out. But also, let's say
we're trying to disclose all of the massage related incidents
and then they didn't view this as one that gets
a little complicated. So do I think they was probably
in their best interest to disclose everything? Yes, But do
I think that the likelihood of just general human memories
(11:27):
and the number of things that seem to be relevant
here to disclose something kind of forgotten as possible?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Absolutely crazy? That two hundred and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, yeah, that's insane. I just let's move on. Yep,
that's some what I watched Tobe.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It always says, Jory, your impressions from AFAR of Mike
McDonald's debut and what the Seahawks defense looked like. Did
it look anything to you like the Baltimore Ravens defense.
What'd you think of the debut?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I mean I think that it looks good. I think
what's most impressive to me is not necessarily a single play,
but the fact that to start off as ruff as
Seahawks sit and then be able to climb out of
that hole, to be able to have the defense keep
fighting when the offense did not have an opportune start,
that to me, is such a good time for Mike
McDonald's ten you're in Seattle, because you kind of get
that buying like do you want to go down? Do
you want to have the safety? Do I have an
(12:17):
early tack interception?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
All that?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Of course not, but I think that when you redown
from that, that really is so key in setting the
culture and the foundation for the team going forward with
this new coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Jory being very charitable there to say it was an
inopportune start for the office, and we use some other
adjectives out there.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Jory, your impressions of New England say opportune.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I know you did not that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Your impressions of New England post Bill Belichick that go
into Cincinnati, most people think they're going to get boat
raised and they hold Joe Burrow in the Bengals to
ten points. And reminder, Stevenson runs for one hundred and
twenty hundred and eighteen after contact.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Is this who the the Patriots could be?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, I thing because we always have to do predictions
for Yahoo, and I predicted Joe Burrow as the MVP
and the Patriots to have the top pipe of the draft.
And then of course the Patriots go and beat the Bengals.
I will say the Bengals for the last several years,
even when they figured it out the end, they've lost
their early games, which kind of takes them some time
to settle in. And so I do think the Patriots
(13:20):
probably had a better chance against them in week one
than they would have been week ten. But still I
was not expecting it in the same way gives mcdonaldsar
you got to give Jeron Beyo from credit to I
do think that in terms of their run heavy scheme,
that's going to be what they're looking like throughout the season.
They've been very open about that. Jacoby Brissette kind of
like what y'all thought about next. He's not going to
(13:40):
be just lighting up the scoreboard. And I think that
their goal is, Hey, if we can win some games,
if we can figure our offensive line, if we can
kind of see where our defense is without Matt Juden, without.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Blinking who has the blood clots, but without some of
those key pieces, then really that's what the Patriots need
to do before they figure out what they want to
do with Drake May their quarterback.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I was going to say, as long as they're winning,
they don't need to rush Drake Man.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Do you expect to see him mid season or at
all this season? Is this a red shirt year in
your mind?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah, Christian Barmer was the name I was looking for.
But I think that you at least need to get
through that early stretch of toper defenses, which I would
put Seattle in that category. I mean, maybe you guys
will not, but I think that they're not going to
be an easy defense to go onst especially with what
might be sound was able to do for steaming, and
then you really see because if your team is winning,
you don't want to mess with that. There's really so
(14:35):
much more to gain than to lose by sitting Drake
for a year. And then also to me, it's what
the offensive line is going to be. I don't have
a question mark about whether Drake personally has the skill
set to succeed. I think he does. I think the
question is if the team around him is not going
to support him, then do you end up risking that
this guy's going to get hit all this time? This
guy is going to be seeing ghosts. And I've asked
(14:57):
a lot of evaluators around the league about that, and
they really don't belie that you should just throw a
guy out there. Also, this is not like the Patriots
are contending for the super Bowl this year in most
of our minds, and so I think you just when
you're at the point in the rebuild that the Patriots are,
you should really be thinking about what stets for twenty
twenty five. And I'm not specifically twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
The Washington Commanders fire VP of Content. That whole story,
I don't know what to think of it. First of all,
I didn't know there were undercover sports reporters. I don't
even know if that's crazy. By the way, Jory, have
you heard of that before in that role? On what
was going on there? It just seemed it seemed like
TMZ but on another level. And I was just curious
how other reporters journalists thought about this news that came out. Obviously,
(15:41):
there were some crazy things that he said on the video,
but it was so well put together and so strange
at the same time. What was your reaction to all
that news coming out of the with the commanders.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, I'm not saying huge job like obviously you can't
be saying the comments he said. Obviously. Also, the commander
don't really have much will or room in terms of
what they tolerate from a diversity, equity, inclusion tolerance standpoint,
Like they have such a checkered a few months or
not a few months, but I'm such a checkered like
recent decade plus. Also, it's not just an NFL matter,
(16:16):
like they went to Congress with Dan Snyder's issues, and
so I think that they kind of have to be
pretty strict on this. On the other hand, I agree
with you, like the way that the information cannot made
me a little bit uncomfortable because I think that there
is a regional expectation of privacy and I was actually curious.
I hadn't looked at the law. But yes, you can
(16:36):
be filmed in public if you're out in public. So
I don't know if your audio can be filmed when
you're having a conversation with someone and released and not
be legal. So it'll be interesting to see what legal
ramifications this fired VP has, even though clearly the common
temade are unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, it is unethical at best. And Jory, you and
I have done this for more than a day. As
a reporter, you absolutely declare whether it's on or off
the record, and you absolutely declared that you're a reporter.
If you're intending to report something, you don't meet somebody
even for coffee. You don't even bump into someone on
the street and ask him a question you intend to
report without declaring you are actually a reporter.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
That that's just.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Absolutely And I just hope that people don't view this
and be like, this is howeveryone's getting their information and
we are not getting our information that way.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Correct. It made me think that I don't even know
how do I even phrase this, because when I watched
that video, I thought maybe she was just a regular
girl on a date and decided to send this information
in for whatever reason. I don't know her at all,
but that was kind of one side I was thinking.
But then she was asking pretty basic questions and that
kind of gave me the journalistic standpoints. I was just
(17:43):
really confused as to who this young lady was. Was
there any news on to who she had they announced
who she is? If she's just a regular bystander that
recorded this information, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
A great question that I don't totally know the answer to,
but I will say that's another thing is as a
woman in the industry, and you sometimes have players a
coaches being like, oh, yeah, go go on a date
with me. I'll give you the information. And that drives
my female friends and I crazy. Maybe my male friends too,
But my female friends and were talking about this a
few days ago because that's not how we get our information,
and no, that's not how this works, and so several
(18:17):
layers of why this is frustrating and challenging.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It doesn't surprise me that apparently that's happened to you.
Jori but sadly, how did you handle that?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
How did I handle? Like? I have an age? Have
you ever group texts a player? And I was saying
that if if I went on a date with the player,
then they would give me the information. And I'm trying
it was I mean, it's been several years, like probably
six years, and I'm trying to remember I either didn't respond.
I know I didn't do it obviously, but I don't remember.
(18:50):
It's whether I didn't respond or if I kind of
like put a professional line. But that's why even one
like as a woman in the industry, you get someone's
phone number, I'm always and my introductory text story at
sign Yahoo Sports is forward to working together, that type
of thing, just to make very clear that this is
a professional working really so.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So sad you have to do that, but oh my yeah,
yeah that's a group text to a player too.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
That's even worse.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, it was special.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I could tell you it was Okay, onto something better.
What are you looking forward to in week two? What's
the most intriguing game or storyline that you're going to
be checking.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Out for Yahoo?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I mean I think one of the things that kind
of we were talking about the beginning of this college
how real is week one? Like? What can we tell
from week two about how real one is? Like? Can
the Browns kind of turn it around? The Cowboys? Okay,
the Cowboys look great, but now they're unning aast the
Paints team that was pretty good against Charlotte or against Carolina,
and so are they going to be able to take
that next step? I think that we start off the
(19:52):
week with Bills and Dolphins on Thursday Night football, and
I'm excited about the Asps. I think even with the
Deatch performance last night, it's going to be kind of
a feisty division, especially if the Patriots end up pisty.
I would love that. And then I want to see, Hey,
Jim Harbaugh's team, can they continue looking strong? They're going
against Carolina, so probably so can the Rams rebound without
(20:14):
who's in the Kila? I mean, there's so many good stories.
I think here that's easy in the season, and every
think I'll say its the Bengals. I know we talked
about how full they start, but they also historically have
had Patrick Mahomes numbers sometimes and so when they're going
against the Chiefs, like if they can get right against Kansas, City.
I think that they will not have much concern at
all about what happened against the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Jory Epstein, thanks a lot. It's great to catch up
with you. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We will talk to you next Tuesday thanks to Zeke's Pizza.
Appreciate Have a great week.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Greg, Chris, great talk y'all. Talk to you next week.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Jorry Epstein, senior NFL writer for Yahoo Sports who joins
us every Tuesday now on become Plumbing Hotline thanks to
Zeke's Pizza homegrown in the Northwest or online at zeekes
Pizza dot com.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I'll save the fancy question for next week. That's what
it matters. She could be two and oh.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
An agent group texting with a player asking to get
her out on a date.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So give her information. If you want a data girl,
be upfront and do it yourself. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's the peak of the world that I have worked
in for. And I'm a man, imagine being a woman.
In Yeah Next Your Text four nine and a top
amore Dude text on eleven thirty five, Christopher Kidd tries
to get off the deck in Factor Fiction That's All
Next on ninety three point three KJRFM. Hi, welcome back,
(21:43):
Greg Bella, the newstributing Christopher Kidd with you. Ian fornessl
joined us at eleven forty five. Factor Fiction brought to
you by The Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest, will be at eleven thirty five. Just reminder,
the only two and oh picker last week in kJ
our sports staff is the one that's speaking to you
right now. Flex maybe man of the people. Probably the
(22:05):
last chance I can do it, So yeah, I'll flex
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You never know, man, Our boy Jimbo went like eleven
and oh for at one point final loss. So you
can get hot and stay hot. So I believe in you. Greg.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Please read the four two five Bama text to leadoff.
I think you can read it. Go ahead. Four five
says if Chris Kids said BAMA was going to play
Bellevue High School and BAMA was going to win, we
got to put her money on Bellevue, right.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I don't know what it is, man, I don't know
what it is, but you know what, it's crazy. My
Factor fiction pick is similar to that. Oh that's the
gap that is That is how big the gap is
between these two teams playing. I think, okay, so hopefully
I actually we're just gonna move on. We talked a
little bit about fantasy earlier, so I found out today
(22:54):
from the two five to three there is zero delay
in picking up a free agent, and y'allhooks, it's instantaneous.
So that's a pretty cool thing. I didn't know that.
So if you're in Yahoo, you get you want someone, bam.
That's really cool. There's also from the two o six
a strategy that Chris is not talking about. You could
have put McCaffrey in the flex spot and just in
(23:15):
case something happened, you could have a receiver from either
side and you can plug them in on your flex spot.
But the problem is you have to have a receiver
from either of those teams. That's the tricky part if
you don't have a reflex spot. So basically it could
be a tight end running back receiver specialist essentially, but
it's a skills position, skill set position, so receivers tight ends.
(23:38):
So like xavier're worthy, you're probably a decent flex because
you can do a kick return point and exactly so
Charles Cross probably not no, unless you know what. There
are leagues where you can draft defensive players, but I
don't know. I don't know anything about that, so I'm
moving on now. This is from seven four seven our guys,
(24:00):
Real Rob. Thankfully, my girlfriend woke me up at four
to thirty to tell me that CMC is out. I
think the fantasy guys for having Mason there are still
twenty minutes left before kickoff, and also Greg Seahawks even
showed out. Do you think the offense has what it
takes to score more consistently.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
If their offensive line gets better, maybe, yes, they have
the skill positions to do it. I have some question
for Real Rob four thirty am. His girlfriend got him
up at four thirty am. Sorry, PM, what's you sleep
at four thirty pm?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
FORO? You must have add gigs till what three am?
That's interesting. Let us know what you were doing to
have you sleeping at four to thirty buddy.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
That's a good life. Man gets good. Had my daughter
from the four to two five look up Christian McCaffrey
online on our way to soccer practice, and that's how
I found out I won this week because he was out.
I think you guys should do one segment on fantasy football.
But you say, Greg, Yeah, I told you. I. Well,
let's do that. I'll just yield to you. We'll figure
out something. I know. Ian has one. I think everyone does,
(24:59):
doesn't don't, don't we do it? Maybe think I don't
know about that? Well, nonetheless, that's fine. That's pretty cool.
Your daughter to look up Christian McCaffrey. I wonder if
you had to spell it for her. She knew it already. Okay,
here's some background from the two five to three. I'm
in Yahoo League. We have waivers. It's based on how
the Commissi sets it up. That's another thing. So commissioners
(25:19):
can get very funky and do a bunch of different things.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That is also true. But you know what time it is, Greg.
One one thing two oh six says from the Apple Cup.
My son is a student that you dub and Doug
Peck season ticket member. Though the Apple Cup wasn't a
part of the packings, we talked about that it was
available as an add on and he got two tickets
for ninety dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
So thank you for that information. Two o six appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Now it's time for your chance to win one thousand
dollars on Factor Fiction.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
For's set to go.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, brought to
you by the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Make the beautiful new week you.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
See sports Bookie your home All football season long, fact
or Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point three
KJR FM.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Here the music. I'm going to NFL. I'm gonna make
it really easy. Chargers heading on the road to Carolina
Panthers right now. Minus six and a half at Carolina,
So you know what that means. Texts in fact Chargers
minus six and a half versus the.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Panthers, Chargers by more than seven and Carolina over the
Dave Kno, you already giving up on them?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Giving up? I don't know if you saw the highlights.
Excellent was thirty seven nothing. I think defense is bad.
Bryce Young looks bad. I think the Chargers can run
the football pretty well. Waxing not pretty well. JK had
over one hundred and forty yards. If I'm not mistaken,
Dube was running all over the field. I expect the
Chargers to be able to run the ball effectively. I
(26:59):
expect Herbert to have have some success throwing down field,
and hopefully the Chargers defense does their job and they
should win by a touchdown. On more so, text in fact.
If you're with me or fiction, all right, four nine
four five one factor fiction, I am taking the Chargers
minus six and a half against the Carolina Panthers. A'll
right there you go.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Chris gonna get our show off to roll and start
with the Chargers winning by seven or more. Hopefully you agree,
hopefully disagree fact or fiction.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Fact one. If you disagree with Chris and.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You like the texture, who thinks of Bama played Bellevue
and he picked Bama, you.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Pick Bee, then you pick fiction. I feel this is
a great scenario for that. This is equivalent. It's pretty close,
all right, outside of Adam Thielen for the Panthers, who
else they got.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Overreaction Monday, overreaction tuesdays to the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Part of me is like, man, maybe I should go
the other way, but you know what, it's unusual to
have a touchdown underdog.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
At home in the NFL. Yes, it doesn't happen often.
It does not happen too often. Well, that shows two
and two. We were tied for second. I heard hean
call it tied for la next to last, but also
tied for second. This show was three and one last week,
so we were two and two.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
We could have been four and oh but the textans
don't want to play defense. You know how many guys
say that every week? Let me better say that, yes,
fire all this fire the DB's because they don't know
how to play the ball. Alec Pierce running all of
it down the field. My guy Anthony Ridgson falling down,
throwing off his back foot. What is this? This is
backguard football?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
The NFL five words army in the under. You want
to win on factor fiction? Just stick with me, kids,
Chris Kid says, Chargers minus six and a half over
the Panthers. He's gonna lay the points. Do you agree
if you do a text fact to four nine four
fot one. If you disagree fiction the four nine four
(28:54):
or five one, you have about nine minutes to do
that before the window closes, and then the next window
will be two thirty five. All of that is thanks
to the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest. Again,
how it works is the most winners for the entire
season eligible ten thousand dollars grand prize at the end
(29:15):
of the season. Each week you can win a thousand
dollars for winning the most times All the winners actually,
excuse me, All the winners will be put in a
pot a hat and will draw a name out of
the winners for the week, and you can enter as
many times as you want. There's twenty chances, four times
a day for five weekdays between Monday and Friday on
each so seven thirty five, eleven thirty five, two thirty
(29:37):
five and three thirty five. Your next chance is with
the I in Forness two thirty five Factor Fiction brought to
you by the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of
the Northwest and in fact the Mayor and Maple Valley.
The in Furness is up next on ninety three point
three KJRFM. Welcome back Greg Bell of the News of
(30:04):
you in Christopher Kidd, finishing the second of two hours
here on ninety three point three kJ r FM. If
you miss Factor Fiction for this hour, too bad, because
the window just closed right.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yep, window was officially closed.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So six and a half minus six and a half
Chargers at Panthers.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
That was Christopher kids pick.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't know if the Panthers are that bad, though,
maybe they are that bad. I Infiness may or Maple
Valley joining us.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, I looked at that. I'm in a survivor pool
and I looked at that game and I thought of
it for a second game. But there's no in that one.
There's no no point spread.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh so right when?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, but even then, I don't know why I was
nervous with that.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I just cause the Panthers could have a great game.
There you go say it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Well, the quarterback hasn't been good at all.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
He hasn't and that's kind of this year, you know.
That's kind of what I'm leaning on.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Maybe at some point they'll let Justin Herbert be Justin Herbert.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Jim Harbor might not maybe running. Maybe Dave Kanalas will
have something for the Panthers this weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Chris, I hope he has success. He's a good dude, man.
I hope he has success. But that's I think he's
in for a rough one there in Carolina. You know
what you think about I don't think ever we understand
here in Seattle, and I'm on my soapbox. Sorry, but
I don't know if Seahawks fans understand they got it
pretty good here because mirroring the Seahawks run during the
(31:31):
Pete Carroll Heyday and even the last fifteen years, for
a chunk of that, it was, Carolina was kind of
side by side with you. Yeah, right, consistently good. They've
been consistently bad now for a while. Like, to be
good and competitive year in and year out in the
National Football League is hard to do without taking a big,
big step back. Carolina is a good example of that.
(31:54):
Like they have not been the same name, Drey McCaffrey.
Their two stud linebackers retire one medically. You know, they
had a great offensive line for a long time, right,
you know Cam was an MVP hammer running backs, right,
Jonathan Stewart, who else it Williams? Right, the other right
is Angel D'Angelo. Yeah, Like, right, they've had dudes there,
(32:19):
Cam Newton, of course, Steve Smith, Steve Smith. Like, they've
had guys and they're not good right now. They're a
long ways away. So it's kind of nice to enjoy
football every year. If you're a Seahawk fan, you should
you should never take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Grass ain't always green or elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's not, it's not. And the difference is is you
want to they want to win. They don't want to
just be competitive fifty four percent. They want to actually
win win. But yeah, it's Carolina's an interesting case study
because it feels like they've been down for a couple
of years now, and maybe down for a while.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
They've had ownership issues, changing coaches, you know that.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, that's the other thing, right, ownership is went south.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Look at how steady Seattle has been. I mean, you
basically can draw it's Paul Allen doesn't pass away. He's
still the owner right now, right, and Jody Allen takes
over and does it exactly the way her brother did
with the same general manager and coach for fourteen years
until January and now still the general manager for going
on fifteen years. Yeah, that's absolutely we're not just in
(33:16):
the NFL, but in sports.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
The contrast with Jody as the owner here Jody slash Bird,
I guess, but you know Jody's ultimately But the contrast
between that here in Portland.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I know you're going to say it is striking. Yes,
it's just it's it's wild and the perception from the
fans in Portland.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I meant say today, I I we don't know how
it's going to go down. None of us really know
what's in that trust and what's exactly. I think she's
going to find a way to buy it, really I do.
I think she is. I think I think that'll be
I think they'll keep it somehow.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
On there.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
There's so many suitors who could drive the price of
the franchise up higher than it's already valued.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Right, And what scares me about that is what we're
just talking about. I like consistency. I've gotten she did
something last year that took a lot and it was needed.
But to move on from Pete, I don't know. I'm
okay with status quo here. With that, there's another a
team I like to see get sold.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But an NFL franchise. The valuation of an NFL franchise
in this market, with this corporate base and whether you're
talking Amazon or I mean, the people that could drive
that price up and the co investors, if you've got
a consortium, would she say no to that to keep it?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Probably not? I mean, And like I said, I just
there's part of me wonders if she can find to
find a way to make it happen, to keep it
so called in the family. But I mean, may it
may be impossible. I like status quot because I think
what status quo is. Since Paul bought the team's some
pretty damn good. I mean, they had the one year
with Maura that was a colossal mistake on everyone's part.
But you know, letting Ruskill kind of have more power
(34:52):
than Mic. But outside of that, it's pretty and they
rectified it staff of a finger, like they didn't wait.
They didn't wait a tount of money, and they didn't care.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
From what you know about Portland, do you think the
Blazers are absolutely getting sold? She would retain that she
didn't care about basketball. That's the difference. She doesn't care
about pass compared to Paul. Compared to Paul. Yeah, Paul
was kind of the other.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Way, right.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah, the debut the John Ryan Show, all right, he's
going to join too.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I don't know you should do that at some point.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'll just if that happens, I'm just gonna put the
headset down and let them do the thing. And they
could just do their thing. We'll talk to John Joe
Shean's weekly visit talking all things baseball one o'clock and
then coming up at two o'clock today our Cougar round
table with MK and Alex getting ready for the highly
highly anticipated half empty stadium Apple Cup on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
We talked about that.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
The ticket situation, Yeah, too expensive.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
If they were like one fifty base or face value
when they came out.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Who organizes that?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
It's first and goal. That is first and goal. I
got that one hundred percent of first in goal thing.
We decided to play here this year. The athletic director
at Washington it was at.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
The time the athletic director in Pullman. Sorry about that
because he has his coup gad on.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Sorry, no more comments, no further much like the what's
his face last night of the forty niners. That's why
I don't like talking to you guys.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Oh yeah, that's why I don't like talking to you guys.
Beat writers doing their job. Yeah, getting ripped.
