In about fifteen minutes from now, we'll get some Viking
Seahawk chatter. We're gonna award ten thousand dollars in our
Factor Fiction contest coming up at three thirty five. And
I don't know, maybe the person who won already knows
they won. Maybe there's four or five people. Maybe there's
more than four or five people sitting around hoping that
we call their name for ten thousand bucks. I mean,
(02:25):
you know, it can't hurt to listen, man, So we'll
find out who won the Factor Fiction Contest, brought to
by the emeral Quien Casino at three thirty five of
Fun with Audio Husky Hawks John Wilner all coming up.
So where do we start? We got baseball trades happening everywhere.
We got Camori House and the Portal, Johnny Matteer and
the Portal yesterday, Mike Florio taking shots. He is a
(02:47):
genuine butthole at the twelfth Man at Pro Footballtalk dot Com.
After the chaos with the Packer fans invading Lumenfield on Sunday, Look,
I mean you said it, you're today. It's becoming kind
of a national story. Collinsworth and Tariko brought it up
on the broadcast on Sunday. Florio wrote about it today.
(03:08):
I'm certain that Paul Allen, our buddy from Minnesota, and
the Vikings are aware of how many Packer fans. We're
in the building on Sunday looking to see if the
Vikings can match it this weekend or come close.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So we're not used to seeing this dick.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
We're not used to seeing our stadium taken over like
that by the opponent, for sure, But it's getting more
and more frequent. And it was just a packer situation,
I'd be okay with it, But it's not a packer
meaning in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yes, okay, gotcha.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I mean it happened with the Niners game, happened with
the Buffalo Bills game. I mean it's it's happening now
numerous times per season whenever you have a fairly national
fan base, and you know, honestly, I would include the
Seahawks in that right. We've shown to be a pretty
national fan base.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Are you traveling?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You see here, because this team wins more on the
road now than it doesn't home. You hear the Seahawks
chance at the ends of road games more than you
hear them at the ends of homes game.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Well, we've been doing that.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
We haven't done it for a while because NFL dot
Com changed the rules, but we've been doing the Seahawk
Opondentnaudio recap forever and when we play those after wins
on the road, I always comment on how loud the
crowd is on the road when the Seahawks scores. So
now we know how like Arizona Cardinal fans feel when
the Seahawk fans invade their stadium, or how Niner fans feel.
But my buddy Hawk blogger, did you read this piece
(04:28):
he did for the website. No, he did a piece,
and I think you actually may have alluded to this
dick maybe a week or two ago when he talked
about the kind of dwindling home field advantage in the
NFL that not as many teams are winning. I'm telling
you right now, and if you go read Brian's column,
there's a lot of good nuggets in there. This is
not a Seahawk issue. This is a league issue. There
(04:51):
are fans traveling all over the place right now. There
are teams that are not winning at home the way
they used to. Across the nash Football League. I think
what's happening in Seattle and what happened on Sunday in Seattle,
because guys, let's face it, if you go back to
the NFC Championship game in twenty fourteen, Game one in
twenty fourteen, the Heilm the fail Mary game Sorry in
(05:15):
twenty twelve, there's always been a lot of Packer fans
at the Link or lumen Field or Quest or Seayawks Stadium.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That was a whole new level though on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I mean, if it was, if it was sick, I
don't know, in eighty twenty Seayawk fans before, maybe it
was seventy thirty Seahawk fan whatever. The numbers coming down,
the number of Packer fans is going up. So this
is an issue across the NFL, and I want to
know why. I want to know why. I want to
get people to text into four nine, four to five
one right now and tell us why we feel that
(05:48):
there are so many Seayawk fans that are either a
selling their seats or B is it ticket brokers that
own these tickets and they're unloading them to the highest bidder?
Is it people looking to pay for potential playoff tickets
down the road. Like, for example, Dick, you probably got
your playoff invoice the other day from the Seahawks. The
amount that you have to pay from the last regular
(06:11):
season game to the divisional playoff game or the wild
card game, sorry, to the NFC championship more than doubles
in price. So if you're a Seahawks fan, you're thinking, hey,
there's a chance these guys might go to the playoffs.
I can sell my seats right now and pay for
my entire playoff run if they do make the postseason.
And everybody's got their number obviously, I mean that number
(06:33):
is different for everybody. But as we're sitting here right now,
why do we think what happened on Sunday happen? What's
the number one If we all can agree it's likely
a combination of a lot of different issues, what would
be the number one reason why?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
The number one reason why is we got beat by
a more physical, better football team.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's the number one. No, no, no, no no. Why are
there less fans? Why were there so many Packer fans
there on Sunday? I think, okay, I got this right.
I know why we lost the game.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Two.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I think the Packers are unique because, I mean, and
it really stuck out that the sign that I saw
when I rewatched the game on TV really stuck out
To meet some one day I will be able to
go to a Packer game at Lambeau. That really stuck
out to me. Like fans can't get into Lambeau Field
to watch their team play. It is far easier to
and in some cases more economical, to fly to another city,
(07:27):
Like if you're in Green Bay, it is more economical
to fly to Detroit or Cleveland or Chicago and buy
a ticket and buy a hotel room and go to
the football game than it is to spend five, six, seven,
eight hundred dollars to get a ticket to get into
Lambey Field.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Well, I mean, look, I know you're not being literal,
because you could get in for cheaper than that from
the price of a plane ticket, hotel, game tickets, all
of that stuff. You could get in for like two
fifty when it was all said and done for the
game on Sunday. No, I'm talking about it Lambeau right right,
same thing with lamb there were tickets for like three
hundred bucks for their last home game. But the point is, well, taken.
It's very hard. There's just not as many tickets available.
(08:06):
First of all, right at lambeau Field, and then number two.
I get why the opposing fans would do it, right, Like,
the question isn't to me why Packer fans would do it.
The question is why are these tickets available? And are
they being made available by actual Seahawks fans? Are they
being made available by other people that just happen to
(08:28):
own these tickets that are just football fans?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Like, let's say the Seahawks have give me a number,
twenty five thousand season ticket holders. Some of them have
four seats, some have six, some have two whatever. How
many of those twenty five thousand are actually Seahawks fans
per se? I thought they eighty percent? Is it eighty
five percent? Well, some of them are brokers. There's definitely
brokers that own seats. But how no question, haven't.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
We haven't We always had a waiting list for like
the last I mean there was a waiting list prior
to the bearing air and then it's strong.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, it's called Blue Pride.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Right, We've always had a waiting list since, right, So
it's like, how do you get on this list?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I mean, so the brokers just get on this list.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Maybe, yeah. I mean, next time you have Anthony bar
Rudi on it, you can ask him. I mean he claims,
by the way Anthony does, that he's only got four
tickets left. He used to have like hundreds before and
then they made a rule that you can only buy
a certain amount. But I don't think all of them
are Seahawk fans. I think a good percentage ninety five
percent are Seahawk fans.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
So let's just let's just work with that number. Okay,
why are they selling tickets because they're not passionate. Okay,
they're not passionate.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
They see this team as mediocre, which it is, and
they're like, I'm not gonna waste my time rooting for
a mediocre football team, which I think is extremely sad.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Okay, sad on who's part on their part.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean, it's sad that the Seahawks are mediocre, but
it's also sad that the fan base won't support a
team unless it's Super Bowl ready.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Okay, well, you just got done two days ago or
I'm sorry yesterday, telling me on the air how unlikable
this football team is. You literally said that, did I
still go to the game. They're unlikable. Okay, you may
go to the games, but can you not stand preach man,
practice what you preach. But Dick, that works for you.
You've got to understand why people would get rid of
(10:07):
their seats for the game on Sunday. If you're telling
me that they're unlikable and they get their ass kicked
them home, and you still want to overcome that and
you want to go to the game, and that's good
on you.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
You don't need to be in the stadium number one
to root for a team because a lot of folks
can't sord to go. But if you're telling me that,
you can't understand why people would say the hell with
this and unload their seats. I never said thousands of
dollars on tickets. You're putting words on my okay number
once then I understand I said it sad, and you
get it that that's what I said. You understand it.
That right, You understand it because everybody's got a number.
(10:43):
You've got your number, and I've got my number, and
that number is different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And I just think in the end, this is what
I'm getting. Now, we got to break here for Paul.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I think in the end this is going to be
on the Seahawks to stop this and and turn this around.
They need to give fans every reason to not want
to part with these seats, that this is an event
that you have got to be at, and I don't
think the Hawks are doing that right now. So let's
come back and chat about that later on today Paul
Allen's going to join us from the Vikings will award
ten thousand dollars to somebody in the Factor Fiction contest
(11:12):
next as well on ninety three to three KJRFM. This
is the only gift I need, and that is the
gift of friendship with my friend from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
The number one play by play voice in the National
Football League in my opinion, and a man that I
am honored to call my friend. The gift of getting
a chance to talk to him on the air is
good enough for me. Our friend Paul Allen from the
Minnesota Viking, Good lord, how.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Are you pel Softy DF? What's going on today? You're
good with that button, bar man. I really got a
high level of appreciation for that timing.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Now, the.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Vikings may never win in Seattle, Washington. What loss was
that from the Vikings?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
May they never win a game in Seattle, Washington.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
I know.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
The problem for me is there's been so many fighting
losses in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I've just forgotten which game that's from.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I don't think we've won there since O six in
the regular season now, I mean, you know, because of
because of these mandatory vocal maintenance days you have coming up,
we were I was forced, I mean relegated, I mean
asked to do this interview on Tuesday. So I'm not
super far down the road on the boy ye mafes
of the world.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
But don't I don't, softy.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I don't think the Minnesota Vikings have won a regular
season game there since Ben Lieber I believe, scored a
touchdown and Chester Taylor had the.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Longest run in the history of Vikings football those.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Six October twenty second, two thousand and six, thirty one
to thirteen over Seattle.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's been a long down, long damn time.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
But you know what, Yeah, we got twenty twelve Percy
throw a fit and got mad at Ponder. Yeah, and
I think it trickled into the week. Then we had
that justin Coleman debacle. The undrafted corner from Tennessee zimmer
Loved tried to get sneaky on the practice squad. Never
saw him again. The offensive coordinator, John D. Philippo didn't
(13:18):
even make it to the end of his first season.
After that game, he was fired. Twenty twenty super special
calling road games from US Bank Stadium. We had a
cam danceler, what are you doing moment on a pop
fly to DK Metcalf. Yeah, there definitely been some fond
memories out in the old Cappuccino Capitol.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, and in your place as well, and in the
Gophers Park as well. Season can't like that, I mean,
just all phenomenal, Yeah, legendary games, But dude, you guys
are all fat and wappy. You're twelve and two, You've
won seven in a row. Sam Donald, with time? Sam Donald,
what time is tearing it up? You're gonna come in
here and get revenge and kick the Seahawks ass On Sunday.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I get to thirteen and two. How confident are you?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Man?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
What do you think about Sunday's matchup?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Well?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
First, the last two? All right, So Kirko Chains comes
back to town and they crushed the Atlanta Falcons. Now
the Bears. I mean, you talk about catching teams at
the right time. I mean this interim head coach they have,
Thomas Brown, with all due respect, he decided last night
(14:29):
that he's gonna pick his first fight of the game
when they're backed up to their thirty nine and it's
fourth down, first drive of the game, and they're gonna
go for it in minus territory against the defense that's
been number one on fourth down the entire season. Oh
by the way, at home, and it's super loud. It's
not twelve's loud, but it's super loud now. So of
(14:52):
course he didn't get it, you know. So it was
just a you know, it's like the Bears into that game, man,
you know, I'm like, how can a team be plus
ten in the take give and have a quarterback Caleb
Williams into the game had gone two fifty five in
a row without a pick and he didn't.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Have one last night. It's on two eighty.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Something now, and I'm like, how can this team be
on a seven game bender and at four and nine, Well,
we figured it out with decisions like that, So now
we have some context, all right, Kevin O'Connell is twenty
four and nine coming up at the conclusion of his
third year, said coach here, twenty four and nine in
one score games, and that's really big because the Vikings
(15:30):
playing a lot of one score games. That number twenty
four and nine is already top three NFL history for
one score games. So he's very comfortable in those situations.
There are a lot of players on the team. Blowing
out teams two weeks in a row is weird. Now
when it comes to the Vikings being fat and happy,
(15:51):
that ain't the case. That's another that's another trait. Kevin
O'Connell has that. Like I mean when when when the
Hawks you know, were in their heyday, there were so
many intangibles to Pete Carroll that you could just reference about, Hey,
he one six in a row.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
He keeps them humble.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Hey you've lost four in a row. You know, he's
trying to keep them not depressed. O'Connell has a lot
of those traits and I really like them.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Sam Donald's been amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
How much of what we're seeing in Sam Donald this
year actually the new Sam Donald that is going to
be this way no matter who he plays for, And
how much. Is it a I think a top five
offensive mind in the NFL and Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
You know what, I can't say that about Sam moving
forward now, you know, it's he was pulled from a
very difficult situation. Now when he played for the Niners
and went to the Super Bowl, that was kind of
the chill out period. But I mean the Carolina and
Jets narratives and comparing.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Them with this offensive staff, with.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Jefferson and Addison and Hawkinson and Aaron Jones, it was ridiculous.
I mean, it's like it may not be great, but
it ain't to be.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
It's not like he's trying to put.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Robbie Anderson on double moves to win games, and we're
not throwing de Ian Thomas or Tommy Trumble to try
to win games.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
All Right.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The coaching staff and the skill set here on offense
a little different than what he came from, all right,
So that reclamation project clearly has worked out. Would it
work out in a situation that is not like this,
I don't know, but he's going to get that opportunity potentially.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Well.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Paul Allen again with us on the radio show, what
are we doing here be here on Sunday for the
Seahawks and Vikings.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
And you mentioned you're going to be more short winded.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I'm sorry, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You mentioned the home field advantage for the Seahawks. How
loud the twelves are, Well, guess what, Paul, and you
can feel free to use this in your little broadcast
on Sunday on Kfan.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
It's a big broadcast.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Since twenty twenty one when fans were brought back after
COVID shut him out of the park. We're sixteen and
seventeen at home at Loomanfield. They're a game under five
hundred in their last thirty three games. Do you still
do you still need to place? Well, do you still
today think of Lumenfield as a house of horrors?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Well, a house of whores because we haven't won there
since two thousand and six, So I mean that's that now.
When it when it comes to the twelves and the
fan base for the Seattle Seahawks, they they have built
up so much league wide equity for being menaces, but
menacing not in ways like Lincoln Financial where where the
(18:30):
majority of those fans are fools. They're just stone cold fools.
With the way they treat things, and in some other
places too. No Seattle ant like that. So hey, you know,
I know Geno's done quite well, you know, I know,
I know he had that little injury in.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
The last game.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
But I mean, Kenneth Walker, those NCE receivers and everything.
There are players for whom to cheer. But I would
assume it's incumbent upon the players to give the twelves
reason to cheer, because they've shown that they can get
loud and become a menacing press. But if it's boring,
it's boring and they hang in a chair.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Well, road teams are one eleven and one oh nine
this year, so we're seeing it everywhere. I mean, lumen
Field is not an anomaly at all. Road teams have
won more games than home teams. How many Vikings fans
do you see on the road on a week by
week basis, and how many do you think you'll see here?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
A lot?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Good question about Seattle. That's a different place. It's it's
tougher to get tickets, you know, for us to be
a three h five game, I don't believe.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
And a lot of people work on Monday.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
But it is Christmas week next week like when we
went to Tennessee. Now, I mean, you know it's it's Nashville,
so you got you got.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
That Vombits test known as Broadway.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
But nevertheless, the Titans are down, so you can get
you know, like the first five rows in the third
level the upper deck for like eighty dollars a ticket,
maybe up to one ten. Now there were about fifteen
close to twenty thousand Vikings fans at that game. This
the team travels extremely well. I don't recall Seattle, you know, ever,
(20:04):
being like, well why would it be massive skull chance
Central when when we never win there? So we got
to win there this weekend. That's the bottom line. This
is a big game for the Minnesota Vikings coming up Softy.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, it's a huge game for the Hawks.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I mean, they almost got to win out to make
the playoffs considering their situation with the Rams by the
way and the tiebreaker going on LA and they got
them coming up in week eighteen, So this is a
massive game for them. But I mean, honestly, paint the picture,
because you know this Vikings team better than me. I
think you got a grip of what the Hawks are
all about. Paint the picture. For how a twelve and
(20:36):
two Vikings team walks in here and loses to a
Seahawks football team that, let's face it, in a lot
of home games this year, including Green Bay, including Buffalo,
has been getting pushed around on their home turf. What
will keep you up at night Saturday night before this game?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
But secondly, Dick answered it when he said one eleven
to one oh nine or that whole thing. Yeah, okay,
we'll just look at the twelve and two Vikings all right.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
The Seattle Seahawks with Geno Smith, all right, are better
than the Jacksonville Jaguars with Trevor Lawrence, and Seattle is
better than the Chicago Bears. Well, we went to overtime
with the Bears three three and a half weeks ago
or whatever and barely won the game at Jacksonville. Darnold
threw three picks. We're in some stupid meat grinder with them.
(21:26):
I think we might have won twelve ten something like that,
or twelve seven. So we've been in games in goofy
fashion with teams that ain't going anywhere. That's that's Dix
one eleven and one oh nine or whatever that thing was.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
That's just how it's going.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
How do you handicap this division?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Because it certainly looks different today with Detroit than it
did six weeks ago when it kind of looked like, hey,
Detroit is clearly the best team in the division.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
How do you how do you handicap these three teams?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
All right, well, let me ask you a question. Now,
I watched the game, but you guys know more about
the product than me. What do you think of green
Bay Sunday night?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I thought they were fab very good.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, okay, agreed, I absolutely agreed. The discretion has become
the better part of valor with this quarterback and the
way they're running Jacobs is working.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
All right.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So the Green Bay games trickier than I thought it
would be. I mean, when we went to Lambo Man
two months ago, we were up twenty eight zero in
like five minutes. But then another road game and they
come charging at us, tried an on side kick at
the end. That's what it came down to, you know.
But we were beating them twenty eight zero in the
first half. So with that said, the Viking's winning the
(22:36):
close one Sunday at your spot. That's how I mean.
If it's gone to the head terrorism. Then I say, yes,
that happens. Now you've got Green Bay at home, Detroit
with these twenty two guys on injured reserve and twelve
out for the season, and now they lost Slee McNeil.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
He's the bomb.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Now they lost David Montgomery, the loss of David Montgomery,
and people will think this is but I know Detroit
inside out, man. We see him twice a year, and
I just know him really well. The loss of David
Montgomery is as significant as the loss of eight and
Hutchinson because it takes away their calling card offensively of
what they want to do to set everything up and
(23:16):
play Jamier with all that speed off David in the power.
That's a massive, massive, massive loss for the Lions. Yeah,
if we can win Sunday, we're gonna win, win the
rest of our games and finish fifteen to two and
win the division.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I want to just leave it right there, because there's
a couple of numbers that I really like. Twelve for
obvious reasons. Ninety one the year the Huskies won the
national championship. Seventy three the year that I was born,
nineteen forty the year my dad was born, and forty eight.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I like forty eight for two reasons.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Number one, it's the year of the or the number
of the Super Bowl the Seahawks. One it's also the
amount of years it's been since the Vikings played in
a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Was forty eight years.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
I'll tell you what. Uh that was good at the end.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
It took me a long time to get.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Just hang on, hang on a minute. I'm not done yet.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
But we've had some really, really good Viking Football teams
over the years. Why does this feel like maybe the
team that could end that streak and finally get you
guys back?
Speaker 7 (24:20):
All right?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Well, in O nine this is a complete loser's lament.
But in fact, in O nine it took the antivite
Sean Payton and a bounty gate scandal that cost him
a year if he got suspended. So they stone cold
cheated in that game. Or we're going to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Uh? Now with this team.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
That's an excellent question, softy, And you've got to look
at the complexion of the NFC.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Now.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Now, when we went out to Los Angeles and lost
to Stafford on Thursday night, I mean they kind of
handled us to be to be honest with you, we
almost beat Detroit the week before here Philadelphia had Lincoln Financial.
Nobody wants that in the postseason. I've done it before.
I did it in the NFC title game. I did
it in the Divisional round after the two thousand and
(25:08):
four season. Nobody wants to be at Lincoln Financial in
the playoffs. It sucks so well, look what they have.
They're at Washington, you know, with us having Monday Night football,
actually have to watch games. Washington wasn't any bargain against
New Orleans and two quarterbacks nobody can name. But then
they get Dallas. Now Cooper Rush is playing all right now.
(25:30):
Now Dallas has a little thing right now. And then
they got the Giants at the end. It's like an
exhibition game. So I don't think Philly's going to lose
the rest of the way.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, hey man, listen, great to hear your voice. Look
forward to hopefully seeing you at the park on Sunday.
And just remember, as I always tell you, if it
can't be us, I'm always rooting for you, and we
love you.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Likewise, I love you.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Go cracking and come by the box box sometime and
throw the headphones on and take in a series.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Okay, I'll be there Sunday. I'll see you in pell Thanks.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Ball later I did.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's now time for Softy and Diggs fun with audio.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Jimmy g porn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Now let's have some fun with audio. All right, here
we go the Hosky Hawks. Scum it up.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Greg and Mario will join us at four o'clock today.
What do you think the level of enthusiasm is for
the Sun Bowl coming up on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
See, Tyler Suck's not going to play the quarterback for Louisville. Yea,
he is out.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Like I said, for me, it's just the same as
it would be for any any regular season games. Yeah,
you're not jacked up to take home the Tony the
Tiger Sun Bowl Trophy. You know that Tony the Tiger
Trophy comes with a box of cereal. Did you know
you get frosted flakes for a year. Did you see
the pop Tart trophy? No, got pop tarts going out
of it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
It's a toast. It's an actual.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Great that's pretty cool. The sun Ball is actually a
pretty cool baal to go to. It's a beautiful setting.
I went there in ninety five.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
It is beautiful. Just don't venture too far off, man,
trust me. Who is the last place you want to
do is end up in Warez, Mexico win on New
Year's Eve.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I went there.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
I don't know if it was on New Year's Eve,
but I went to Warez like the day before the game.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And you lived to tell it. It was only seven
dollars for the bottle. If you went to Warez and
New Year's Eve, you got bigger balls than I do, man,
because I was told specifically, do not go to Warez
New Year's Eve because the locals fire their pistoles up
in the air and they have no idea were the
bet Okay? Yeah, it's like the twenty eighth or time.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Dick?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Following the Sunday Night loss to the Packers, former Seahawk
Richard Sherman made his thoughts known about the team's playoff
prospects the fans perfectly clear on his podcast Genel Smith.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
You know, if he doesn't come back, I think that
wraps it up for the Seattle Seahawks to lose him
as a critical blow and people don't appreciate him, and yeah,
we need to replace You know, we can do so
much better than Gino.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I've been telling you.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Behind this offensive line, who has struggled most of the season,
it's tough for any quarterback to be successful. This offensive
line gave up seven sacks today.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
That's tough.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Some of them were on Sam Howe holding the ball
to the long but literally the pocket crumbled in front
of him, it crumbled around him.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
This one hurts.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
But the most discouraging part was probably the go Pack
go chance that you're hearing in lumin Field. That's something I.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Don't ever remember hearing.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
I don't ever remember hearing the opposing team's chance in
our home stadium. But that's the story for a different day.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So there's the anti Geno crowd, there's the anti Grub crowd,
and there's the anti offensive line crowd. Yeah, I think
Richard Sherman just made it clear of what crowd he's
a part. If he thinks the line stinks, he's blaming
the line. Corbyn Smith's he's on your team. Corbyn Smith
is blaming Ryan Grubb. You're blaming Ryan Grubb. I think
Millan's blaming the line. You know what, it reminds me
of guys. It's like the fight scene and Anchorman, right
(28:40):
when they all show up.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You got the anti grub, the anti line, the anti geno.
Only question is who's got the trident? And do we
respect the no hair and no face rule? Well, we
all get after it. This is crazy. I just think
there's I.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Mean, there's blame to go around, sure to me, and
I just I just don't jump on the offensive line
because I feel like almost everybody jumps on the offensive line.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
So I try to make it. You want to be
the contrarian. I want to be the contrarian. Just because
everyone else says it doesn't make it wrong. Day present
other options.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Did you see what my guy did today on Twitter?
He put a pall out asking for a grade on
Ryan Grubb. Most people said, see, I believe we can.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
We can do that.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Later on and then all these people responding, it's the line,
the line sucks, blah blah blah. One guy responds by
ripping grub.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
He retweets that one that one for you.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Let's represent the minority. I mean maybe it's not.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I think your guns. I think this tweet was awesome.
This this is siege said.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
So many jibble are blaming the offensive line in order
to bail out Grubb. Every coach can point to roster
deficiencies as excuses for poor performance. Good coaches scheme around
the deficiency efficiency. The hell, I think that's a hell
of a tweeting the offensive line. You want to put
it out there, good job, se.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Only the offensive line of deficiency is like calling Hervey
Village as short?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Are you kidding me? All right? Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Following the story of the Niners, linebacker de Andre Campbell
refused to enter the game and they're lost to the
Rams on Thursday, quarterback Damador Leonor.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Out of out again.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It was blunt about his thoughts on his teammate and
a post practice media availability.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
When he first got sign You know, I was thinking
of my head, like, you know, we got another guy
that we can add, you know, to the defense.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
You know that that can.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Contribute, you know, for that to happen and him to
do that, you know, you know, I just I just
lost all respect, you know, because I'm I'm I'm a
person that's going one hundred and ten percent of every play.
So if I if i'm if I'm hurt, you know,
in the and the guy behind me is not backing
(30:53):
me up and can't come in or don't want to
go in, So I just feel like that you needn't
cancel to the team.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You know, it is clear as a bell that he
is not well liked in that locker room, because sometimes
when things like this happen, you'll hear guys say things like,
you know, he's our brother, we got to support him,
blah blah blah, he's going through No, they are coming
out slamming this guy.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
That's a great.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Point because I when it first happened, I mentioned that,
you know, you can't quit. You quit on your team,
and the guys will just turn on you. But I
think you're accurate in saying if it was a guy
that was really, really well liked, sure they would have
been like, Okay, we kind of understand the reason he's
doing this, and nobody else understands this, so we're gonna
defend him a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
And you're right, they can't stand this dude. And you
see where they wiped wiped it clean. No, he's got
he's got no locker anymore, no name plate, no nothing.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
But he hasn't been cut. He's just been suspended. But
they have excommunicated his name from.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The locker room.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So I said it yesterday on the show. I love
the fact they suspended him because he keeps him in
the news. It also saves the Niners a bunch of money.
By the way, Yeah, that's part of the reason why
they suspend them.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
They have bigger reason. All right, did you happen? What's that?
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Let's see which on three or four ers?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Okay, it is regular radio interview on ninety seven to
one that take in.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Was as fired up as you would expect about the
prospects of his team overcoming adversity.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You know what happens is, you know, you win eleven
in a row, you know, and you lose and then
the sky falls and I hate to say it, but
we're not going to be able to win eleven in
a row again for the rest of the season. We're
just not going to be able to do it. And
you know what happens is you get used to eating
file at and I'm talking to all of us, and well,
everything's good, life's good, you know. And but you forgot
(32:32):
what it was like when he had nothing and he
ate your molded bread, you know, and it was just fine.
And he gave you everything you needed. And sometimes you
got to get punched in the mouth and remember what
it used to be like to really appreciate where you are.
And we'll do that. And so we got a bad
taste in our mouth. We got kicked him around the
other day, we lost a few guys, and you know what,
(32:53):
it's exactly what we needed. This is exactly what we needed.
And we will play the game anyway needed to win.
And I don't give it if we got to win
by one point for the rest of the year, that's
what we're gonna do, and I'm gonna be happy about it.
We come out of the game with fifty yards of
total offense and we win by one, you're going to
see smiles on my face, I promise you, all right.
(33:13):
If it's the other way defensively, we give up seven
hundred yards and we win by one point, you're going
to see a smile from my ear to ear right,
I can promise.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
You So I love these guys with these old school
analogies when you're in the foxhole and you look at
your brother and you tell him, I will do whatever
it takes to make sure we get out of here
because I love you and you are my brother. Okay, maacho, man,
you realize that he is twenty four and seven his
last thirty one games in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You said it perfectly.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
He's the reason why they might why they might win
a super Bowl, and he's the reason why they might
lose it. The problem now though, with Detroit, for me, Dick,
with David Montgomery going down, Carlton Davis, the amount of injuries,
that kind of riverboat gambler that he is, he may
have no choice but to do more of that to survive.
I mean, their defense is in shambles right now.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
My question is why was he doing it when he
didn't need to do it.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I think that when you when you're a favorite and
you play like a twenty point underdog, I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Why on my kick was stupid?
Speaker 5 (34:13):
On side kick with eleven minutes left the week before
in a tie game with forty three seconds left, He's like, nah,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Want a field goal to win the game. Let's go
for it.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
I like the four that is quarterback slipped and filled out.
Let me ask you question he still got Let me
ask you a question. If you're a Lion fan, though,
and you've gone through the misery that you've gone through
four years ago, if I would have told you we
can hire this guy, he's gonna be twenty four and seven,
But he's gonna You were to said, where do I
sign if it means he's gonna be a little bit
of a meathead when it comes to these in game decisions,
(34:43):
and who knows, maybe one day he'll wake up. I mean,
Dan Lanning may have learned a little bit I don't
know from his past mistakes. So we're gonna find out.
I'm rooting for him, but my god, with those injuries
they have, it's becoming increasingly harder, uh and more difficult
to imagine them on this off dude, with the injuries
they've got.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
We're talking to Everett tonight before the cracking game because
we need to.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
We need to talk a little Lion football.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
With Everett before the crack never mind the Senators crack,
and let's get them on the sock of Lions.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
All Right, Husky Hanks.

can the offensive line get between now and next September.
It's been a minute, but the Hanks are back next

Get some thoughts from Pa on the Vikings Seahawks game
on Sunday. We got some news in baseball, the Yankees
acquiring Cody Bellinger and cash from the Cubs and exchange
for reliever Cody Potit tell you say his name Andrews
from mel Idea, now New York in a clear salary
dump by the Chicago Cubs organization.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Falvins had off the Raiders last night fifteen to nine.
That extra point that was blocked at the end that
was fairly big to some. Vikings handed the Bears their
eighth straight lost thirty to twelve. Minnesota coming to Seattle,
tied with Detroit for the division lead at twelve and two.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
More news in the NFL, the Titans are benching Will
Levis for Week sixteen against the Colts. Mason Rudolph, by
the way, is the backup as of right now in Tennessee,
and the Browns are expected to start Dori and Thompson
Robinson a quarterback for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

Paul Allen, the voice of Minnesota Viking Football, one of
our favorite guests, will join us coming.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Up on the radio show this season like that.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
In about fifteen minutes from now, we'll get some Viking
Seahawk chatter. We're gonna award ten thousand dollars in our
Factor Fiction contest coming up at three thirty five. And
I don't know, maybe the person who won already knows
they won. Maybe there's four or five people. Maybe there's
more than four or five people sitting around hoping that
we call their name for ten thousand bucks. I mean,
(02:25):
you know, it can't hurt to listen, man, So we'll
find out who won the Factor Fiction Contest, brought to
by the emeral Quien Casino at three thirty five of
Fun with Audio Husky Hawks John Wilner all coming up.
So where do we start? We got baseball trades happening everywhere.
We got Camori House and the Portal, Johnny Matteer and
the Portal yesterday, Mike Florio taking shots. He is a
(02:47):
genuine butthole at the twelfth Man at Pro Footballtalk dot Com.
After the chaos with the Packer fans invading Lumenfield on Sunday, Look,
I mean you said it, you're today. It's becoming kind
of a national story. Collinsworth and Tariko brought it up
on the broadcast on Sunday. Florio wrote about it today.
(03:08):
I'm certain that Paul Allen, our buddy from Minnesota, and
the Vikings are aware of how many Packer fans. We're
in the building on Sunday looking to see if the
Vikings can match it this weekend or come close.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So we're not used to seeing this dick.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
We're not used to seeing our stadium taken over like
that by the opponent, for sure, But it's getting more
and more frequent. And it was just a packer situation,
I'd be okay with it, But it's not a packer
meaning in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yes, okay, gotcha.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I mean it happened with the Niners game, happened with
the Buffalo Bills game. I mean it's it's happening now
numerous times per season whenever you have a fairly national
fan base, and you know, honestly, I would include the
Seahawks in that right. We've shown to be a pretty
national fan base.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Are you traveling?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You see here, because this team wins more on the
road now than it doesn't home. You hear the Seahawks
chance at the ends of road games more than you
hear them at the ends of homes game.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Well, we've been doing that.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
We haven't done it for a while because NFL dot
Com changed the rules, but we've been doing the Seahawk
Opondentnaudio recap forever and when we play those after wins
on the road, I always comment on how loud the
crowd is on the road when the Seahawks scores. So
now we know how like Arizona Cardinal fans feel when
the Seahawk fans invade their stadium, or how Niner fans feel.
But my buddy Hawk blogger, did you read this piece
(04:28):
he did for the website. No, he did a piece,
and I think you actually may have alluded to this
dick maybe a week or two ago when he talked
about the kind of dwindling home field advantage in the
NFL that not as many teams are winning. I'm telling
you right now, and if you go read Brian's column,
there's a lot of good nuggets in there. This is
not a Seahawk issue. This is a league issue. There
(04:51):
are fans traveling all over the place right now. There
are teams that are not winning at home the way
they used to. Across the nash Football League. I think
what's happening in Seattle and what happened on Sunday in Seattle,
because guys, let's face it, if you go back to
the NFC Championship game in twenty fourteen, Game one in
twenty fourteen, the Heilm the fail Mary game Sorry in
(05:15):
twenty twelve, there's always been a lot of Packer fans
at the Link or lumen Field or Quest or Seayawks Stadium.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That was a whole new level though on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I mean, if it was, if it was sick, I
don't know, in eighty twenty Seayawk fans before, maybe it
was seventy thirty Seahawk fan whatever. The numbers coming down,
the number of Packer fans is going up. So this
is an issue across the NFL, and I want to
know why. I want to know why. I want to
get people to text into four nine, four to five
one right now and tell us why we feel that
(05:48):
there are so many Seayawk fans that are either a
selling their seats or B is it ticket brokers that
own these tickets and they're unloading them to the highest bidder?
Is it people looking to pay for potential playoff tickets
down the road. Like, for example, Dick, you probably got
your playoff invoice the other day from the Seahawks. The
amount that you have to pay from the last regular
(06:11):
season game to the divisional playoff game or the wild
card game, sorry, to the NFC championship more than doubles
in price. So if you're a Seahawks fan, you're thinking, hey,
there's a chance these guys might go to the playoffs.
I can sell my seats right now and pay for
my entire playoff run if they do make the postseason.
And everybody's got their number obviously, I mean that number
(06:33):
is different for everybody. But as we're sitting here right now,
why do we think what happened on Sunday happen? What's
the number one If we all can agree it's likely
a combination of a lot of different issues, what would
be the number one reason why?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
The number one reason why is we got beat by
a more physical, better football team.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's the number one. No, no, no, no no. Why are
there less fans? Why were there so many Packer fans
there on Sunday? I think, okay, I got this right.
I know why we lost the game.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Two.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I think the Packers are unique because, I mean, and
it really stuck out that the sign that I saw
when I rewatched the game on TV really stuck out
To meet some one day I will be able to
go to a Packer game at Lambeau. That really stuck
out to me. Like fans can't get into Lambeau Field
to watch their team play. It is far easier to
and in some cases more economical, to fly to another city,
(07:27):
Like if you're in Green Bay, it is more economical
to fly to Detroit or Cleveland or Chicago and buy
a ticket and buy a hotel room and go to
the football game than it is to spend five, six, seven,
eight hundred dollars to get a ticket to get into
Lambey Field.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Well, I mean, look, I know you're not being literal,
because you could get in for cheaper than that from
the price of a plane ticket, hotel, game tickets, all
of that stuff. You could get in for like two
fifty when it was all said and done for the
game on Sunday. No, I'm talking about it Lambeau right right,
same thing with lamb there were tickets for like three
hundred bucks for their last home game. But the point is, well, taken.
It's very hard. There's just not as many tickets available.
(08:06):
First of all, right at lambeau Field, and then number two.
I get why the opposing fans would do it, right, Like,
the question isn't to me why Packer fans would do it.
The question is why are these tickets available? And are
they being made available by actual Seahawks fans? Are they
being made available by other people that just happen to
(08:28):
own these tickets that are just football fans?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Like, let's say the Seahawks have give me a number,
twenty five thousand season ticket holders. Some of them have
four seats, some have six, some have two whatever. How
many of those twenty five thousand are actually Seahawks fans
per se? I thought they eighty percent? Is it eighty
five percent? Well, some of them are brokers. There's definitely
brokers that own seats. But how no question, haven't.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
We haven't We always had a waiting list for like
the last I mean there was a waiting list prior
to the bearing air and then it's strong.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, it's called Blue Pride.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Right, We've always had a waiting list since, right, So
it's like, how do you get on this list?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I mean, so the brokers just get on this list.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Maybe, yeah. I mean, next time you have Anthony bar
Rudi on it, you can ask him. I mean he claims,
by the way Anthony does, that he's only got four
tickets left. He used to have like hundreds before and
then they made a rule that you can only buy
a certain amount. But I don't think all of them
are Seahawk fans. I think a good percentage ninety five
percent are Seahawk fans.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
So let's just let's just work with that number. Okay,
why are they selling tickets because they're not passionate. Okay,
they're not passionate.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
They see this team as mediocre, which it is, and
they're like, I'm not gonna waste my time rooting for
a mediocre football team, which I think is extremely sad.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Okay, sad on who's part on their part.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean, it's sad that the Seahawks are mediocre, but
it's also sad that the fan base won't support a
team unless it's Super Bowl ready.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Okay, well, you just got done two days ago or
I'm sorry yesterday, telling me on the air how unlikable
this football team is. You literally said that, did I
still go to the game. They're unlikable. Okay, you may
go to the games, but can you not stand preach man,
practice what you preach. But Dick, that works for you.
You've got to understand why people would get rid of
(10:07):
their seats for the game on Sunday. If you're telling
me that they're unlikable and they get their ass kicked
them home, and you still want to overcome that and
you want to go to the game, and that's good
on you.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
You don't need to be in the stadium number one
to root for a team because a lot of folks
can't sord to go. But if you're telling me that,
you can't understand why people would say the hell with
this and unload their seats. I never said thousands of
dollars on tickets. You're putting words on my okay number
once then I understand I said it sad, and you
get it that that's what I said. You understand it.
That right, You understand it because everybody's got a number.
(10:43):
You've got your number, and I've got my number, and
that number is different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And I just think in the end, this is what
I'm getting. Now, we got to break here for Paul.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I think in the end this is going to be
on the Seahawks to stop this and and turn this around.
They need to give fans every reason to not want
to part with these seats, that this is an event
that you have got to be at, and I don't
think the Hawks are doing that right now. So let's
come back and chat about that later on today Paul
Allen's going to join us from the Vikings will award
ten thousand dollars to somebody in the Factor Fiction contest
(11:12):
next as well on ninety three to three KJRFM. This
is the only gift I need, and that is the
gift of friendship with my friend from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
The number one play by play voice in the National
Football League in my opinion, and a man that I
am honored to call my friend. The gift of getting
a chance to talk to him on the air is
good enough for me. Our friend Paul Allen from the
Minnesota Viking, Good lord, how.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Are you pel Softy DF? What's going on today? You're
good with that button, bar man. I really got a
high level of appreciation for that timing.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Now, the.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Vikings may never win in Seattle, Washington. What loss was
that from the Vikings?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
May they never win a game in Seattle, Washington.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
I know.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
The problem for me is there's been so many fighting
losses in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I've just forgotten which game that's from.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I don't think we've won there since O six in
the regular season now, I mean, you know, because of
because of these mandatory vocal maintenance days you have coming up,
we were I was forced, I mean relegated, I mean
asked to do this interview on Tuesday. So I'm not
super far down the road on the boy ye mafes
of the world.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
But don't I don't, softy.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I don't think the Minnesota Vikings have won a regular
season game there since Ben Lieber I believe, scored a
touchdown and Chester Taylor had the.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Longest run in the history of Vikings football those.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Six October twenty second, two thousand and six, thirty one
to thirteen over Seattle.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's been a long down, long damn time.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
But you know what, Yeah, we got twenty twelve Percy
throw a fit and got mad at Ponder. Yeah, and
I think it trickled into the week. Then we had
that justin Coleman debacle. The undrafted corner from Tennessee zimmer
Loved tried to get sneaky on the practice squad. Never
saw him again. The offensive coordinator, John D. Philippo didn't
(13:18):
even make it to the end of his first season.
After that game, he was fired. Twenty twenty super special
calling road games from US Bank Stadium. We had a
cam danceler, what are you doing moment on a pop
fly to DK Metcalf. Yeah, there definitely been some fond
memories out in the old Cappuccino Capitol.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, and in your place as well, and in the
Gophers Park as well. Season can't like that, I mean,
just all phenomenal, Yeah, legendary games, But dude, you guys
are all fat and wappy. You're twelve and two, You've
won seven in a row. Sam Donald, with time? Sam Donald,
what time is tearing it up? You're gonna come in
here and get revenge and kick the Seahawks ass On Sunday.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I get to thirteen and two. How confident are you?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Man?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
What do you think about Sunday's matchup?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Well?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
First, the last two? All right, So Kirko Chains comes
back to town and they crushed the Atlanta Falcons. Now
the Bears. I mean, you talk about catching teams at
the right time. I mean this interim head coach they have,
Thomas Brown, with all due respect, he decided last night
(14:29):
that he's gonna pick his first fight of the game
when they're backed up to their thirty nine and it's
fourth down, first drive of the game, and they're gonna
go for it in minus territory against the defense that's
been number one on fourth down the entire season. Oh
by the way, at home, and it's super loud. It's
not twelve's loud, but it's super loud now. So of
(14:52):
course he didn't get it, you know. So it was
just a you know, it's like the Bears into that game, man,
you know, I'm like, how can a team be plus
ten in the take give and have a quarterback Caleb
Williams into the game had gone two fifty five in
a row without a pick and he didn't.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Have one last night. It's on two eighty.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Something now, and I'm like, how can this team be
on a seven game bender and at four and nine, Well,
we figured it out with decisions like that, So now
we have some context, all right, Kevin O'Connell is twenty
four and nine coming up at the conclusion of his
third year, said coach here, twenty four and nine in
one score games, and that's really big because the Vikings
(15:30):
playing a lot of one score games. That number twenty
four and nine is already top three NFL history for
one score games. So he's very comfortable in those situations.
There are a lot of players on the team. Blowing
out teams two weeks in a row is weird. Now
when it comes to the Vikings being fat and happy,
(15:51):
that ain't the case. That's another that's another trait. Kevin
O'Connell has that. Like I mean when when when the
Hawks you know, were in their heyday, there were so
many intangibles to Pete Carroll that you could just reference about, Hey,
he one six in a row.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
He keeps them humble.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Hey you've lost four in a row. You know, he's
trying to keep them not depressed. O'Connell has a lot
of those traits and I really like them.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Sam Donald's been amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
How much of what we're seeing in Sam Donald this
year actually the new Sam Donald that is going to
be this way no matter who he plays for, And
how much. Is it a I think a top five
offensive mind in the NFL and Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
You know what, I can't say that about Sam moving
forward now, you know, it's he was pulled from a
very difficult situation. Now when he played for the Niners
and went to the Super Bowl, that was kind of
the chill out period. But I mean the Carolina and
Jets narratives and comparing.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Them with this offensive staff, with.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Jefferson and Addison and Hawkinson and Aaron Jones, it was ridiculous.
I mean, it's like it may not be great, but
it ain't to be.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
It's not like he's trying to put.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Robbie Anderson on double moves to win games, and we're
not throwing de Ian Thomas or Tommy Trumble to try
to win games.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
All Right.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The coaching staff and the skill set here on offense
a little different than what he came from, all right,
So that reclamation project clearly has worked out. Would it
work out in a situation that is not like this,
I don't know, but he's going to get that opportunity potentially.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Well.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Paul Allen again with us on the radio show, what
are we doing here be here on Sunday for the
Seahawks and Vikings.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
And you mentioned you're going to be more short winded.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I'm sorry, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You mentioned the home field advantage for the Seahawks. How
loud the twelves are, Well, guess what, Paul, and you
can feel free to use this in your little broadcast
on Sunday on Kfan.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
It's a big broadcast.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Since twenty twenty one when fans were brought back after
COVID shut him out of the park. We're sixteen and
seventeen at home at Loomanfield. They're a game under five
hundred in their last thirty three games. Do you still
do you still need to place? Well, do you still
today think of Lumenfield as a house of horrors?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Well, a house of whores because we haven't won there
since two thousand and six, So I mean that's that now.
When it when it comes to the twelves and the
fan base for the Seattle Seahawks, they they have built
up so much league wide equity for being menaces, but
menacing not in ways like Lincoln Financial where where the
(18:30):
majority of those fans are fools. They're just stone cold fools.
With the way they treat things, and in some other
places too. No Seattle ant like that. So hey, you know,
I know Geno's done quite well, you know, I know,
I know he had that little injury in.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
The last game.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
But I mean, Kenneth Walker, those NCE receivers and everything.
There are players for whom to cheer. But I would
assume it's incumbent upon the players to give the twelves
reason to cheer, because they've shown that they can get
loud and become a menacing press. But if it's boring,
it's boring and they hang in a chair.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Well, road teams are one eleven and one oh nine
this year, so we're seeing it everywhere. I mean, lumen
Field is not an anomaly at all. Road teams have
won more games than home teams. How many Vikings fans
do you see on the road on a week by
week basis, and how many do you think you'll see here?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
A lot?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Good question about Seattle. That's a different place. It's it's
tougher to get tickets, you know, for us to be
a three h five game, I don't believe.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
And a lot of people work on Monday.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
But it is Christmas week next week like when we
went to Tennessee. Now, I mean, you know it's it's Nashville,
so you got you got.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
That Vombits test known as Broadway.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
But nevertheless, the Titans are down, so you can get
you know, like the first five rows in the third
level the upper deck for like eighty dollars a ticket,
maybe up to one ten. Now there were about fifteen
close to twenty thousand Vikings fans at that game. This
the team travels extremely well. I don't recall Seattle, you know, ever,
(20:04):
being like, well why would it be massive skull chance
Central when when we never win there? So we got
to win there this weekend. That's the bottom line. This
is a big game for the Minnesota Vikings coming up Softy.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, it's a huge game for the Hawks.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I mean, they almost got to win out to make
the playoffs considering their situation with the Rams by the
way and the tiebreaker going on LA and they got
them coming up in week eighteen, So this is a
massive game for them. But I mean, honestly, paint the picture,
because you know this Vikings team better than me. I
think you got a grip of what the Hawks are
all about. Paint the picture. For how a twelve and
(20:36):
two Vikings team walks in here and loses to a
Seahawks football team that, let's face it, in a lot
of home games this year, including Green Bay, including Buffalo,
has been getting pushed around on their home turf. What
will keep you up at night Saturday night before this game?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
But secondly, Dick answered it when he said one eleven
to one oh nine or that whole thing. Yeah, okay,
we'll just look at the twelve and two Vikings all right.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
The Seattle Seahawks with Geno Smith, all right, are better
than the Jacksonville Jaguars with Trevor Lawrence, and Seattle is
better than the Chicago Bears. Well, we went to overtime
with the Bears three three and a half weeks ago
or whatever and barely won the game at Jacksonville. Darnold
threw three picks. We're in some stupid meat grinder with them.
(21:26):
I think we might have won twelve ten something like that,
or twelve seven. So we've been in games in goofy
fashion with teams that ain't going anywhere. That's that's Dix
one eleven and one oh nine or whatever that thing was.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
That's just how it's going.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
How do you handicap this division?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Because it certainly looks different today with Detroit than it
did six weeks ago when it kind of looked like, hey,
Detroit is clearly the best team in the division.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
How do you how do you handicap these three teams?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
All right, well, let me ask you a question. Now,
I watched the game, but you guys know more about
the product than me. What do you think of green
Bay Sunday night?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I thought they were fab very good.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, okay, agreed, I absolutely agreed. The discretion has become
the better part of valor with this quarterback and the
way they're running Jacobs is working.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
All right.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So the Green Bay games trickier than I thought it
would be. I mean, when we went to Lambo Man
two months ago, we were up twenty eight zero in
like five minutes. But then another road game and they
come charging at us, tried an on side kick at
the end. That's what it came down to, you know.
But we were beating them twenty eight zero in the
first half. So with that said, the Viking's winning the
(22:36):
close one Sunday at your spot. That's how I mean.
If it's gone to the head terrorism. Then I say, yes,
that happens. Now you've got Green Bay at home, Detroit
with these twenty two guys on injured reserve and twelve
out for the season, and now they lost Slee McNeil.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
He's the bomb.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Now they lost David Montgomery, the loss of David Montgomery,
and people will think this is but I know Detroit
inside out, man. We see him twice a year, and
I just know him really well. The loss of David
Montgomery is as significant as the loss of eight and
Hutchinson because it takes away their calling card offensively of
what they want to do to set everything up and
(23:16):
play Jamier with all that speed off David in the power.
That's a massive, massive, massive loss for the Lions. Yeah,
if we can win Sunday, we're gonna win, win the
rest of our games and finish fifteen to two and
win the division.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I want to just leave it right there, because there's
a couple of numbers that I really like. Twelve for
obvious reasons. Ninety one the year the Huskies won the
national championship. Seventy three the year that I was born,
nineteen forty the year my dad was born, and forty eight.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I like forty eight for two reasons.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Number one, it's the year of the or the number
of the Super Bowl the Seahawks. One it's also the
amount of years it's been since the Vikings played in
a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Was forty eight years.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
I'll tell you what. Uh that was good at the end.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
It took me a long time to get.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Just hang on, hang on a minute. I'm not done yet.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
But we've had some really, really good Viking Football teams
over the years. Why does this feel like maybe the
team that could end that streak and finally get you
guys back?
Speaker 7 (24:20):
All right?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Well, in O nine this is a complete loser's lament.
But in fact, in O nine it took the antivite
Sean Payton and a bounty gate scandal that cost him
a year if he got suspended. So they stone cold
cheated in that game. Or we're going to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Uh? Now with this team.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
That's an excellent question, softy, And you've got to look
at the complexion of the NFC.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Now.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Now, when we went out to Los Angeles and lost
to Stafford on Thursday night, I mean they kind of
handled us to be to be honest with you, we
almost beat Detroit the week before here Philadelphia had Lincoln Financial.
Nobody wants that in the postseason. I've done it before.
I did it in the NFC title game. I did
it in the Divisional round after the two thousand and
(25:08):
four season. Nobody wants to be at Lincoln Financial in
the playoffs. It sucks so well, look what they have.
They're at Washington, you know, with us having Monday Night football,
actually have to watch games. Washington wasn't any bargain against
New Orleans and two quarterbacks nobody can name. But then
they get Dallas. Now Cooper Rush is playing all right now.
(25:30):
Now Dallas has a little thing right now. And then
they got the Giants at the end. It's like an
exhibition game. So I don't think Philly's going to lose
the rest of the way.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, hey man, listen, great to hear your voice. Look
forward to hopefully seeing you at the park on Sunday.
And just remember, as I always tell you, if it
can't be us, I'm always rooting for you, and we
love you.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Likewise, I love you.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Go cracking and come by the box box sometime and
throw the headphones on and take in a series.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Okay, I'll be there Sunday. I'll see you in pell Thanks.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Ball later I did.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's now time for Softy and Diggs fun with audio.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Jimmy g porn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Now let's have some fun with audio. All right, here
we go the Hosky Hawks. Scum it up.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Greg and Mario will join us at four o'clock today.
What do you think the level of enthusiasm is for
the Sun Bowl coming up on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
See, Tyler Suck's not going to play the quarterback for Louisville. Yea,
he is out.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Like I said, for me, it's just the same as
it would be for any any regular season games. Yeah,
you're not jacked up to take home the Tony the
Tiger Sun Bowl Trophy. You know that Tony the Tiger
Trophy comes with a box of cereal. Did you know
you get frosted flakes for a year. Did you see
the pop Tart trophy? No, got pop tarts going out
of it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
It's a toast. It's an actual.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Great that's pretty cool. The sun Ball is actually a
pretty cool baal to go to. It's a beautiful setting.
I went there in ninety five.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
It is beautiful. Just don't venture too far off, man,
trust me. Who is the last place you want to
do is end up in Warez, Mexico win on New
Year's Eve.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I went there.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
I don't know if it was on New Year's Eve,
but I went to Warez like the day before the game.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And you lived to tell it. It was only seven
dollars for the bottle. If you went to Warez and
New Year's Eve, you got bigger balls than I do, man,
because I was told specifically, do not go to Warez
New Year's Eve because the locals fire their pistoles up
in the air and they have no idea were the
bet Okay? Yeah, it's like the twenty eighth or time.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Dick?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Following the Sunday Night loss to the Packers, former Seahawk
Richard Sherman made his thoughts known about the team's playoff
prospects the fans perfectly clear on his podcast Genel Smith.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
You know, if he doesn't come back, I think that
wraps it up for the Seattle Seahawks to lose him
as a critical blow and people don't appreciate him, and yeah,
we need to replace You know, we can do so
much better than Gino.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I've been telling you.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Behind this offensive line, who has struggled most of the season,
it's tough for any quarterback to be successful. This offensive
line gave up seven sacks today.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
That's tough.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Some of them were on Sam Howe holding the ball
to the long but literally the pocket crumbled in front
of him, it crumbled around him.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
This one hurts.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
But the most discouraging part was probably the go Pack
go chance that you're hearing in lumin Field. That's something I.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Don't ever remember hearing.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
I don't ever remember hearing the opposing team's chance in
our home stadium. But that's the story for a different day.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So there's the anti Geno crowd, there's the anti Grub crowd,
and there's the anti offensive line crowd. Yeah, I think
Richard Sherman just made it clear of what crowd he's
a part. If he thinks the line stinks, he's blaming
the line. Corbyn Smith's he's on your team. Corbyn Smith
is blaming Ryan Grubb. You're blaming Ryan Grubb. I think
Millan's blaming the line. You know what, it reminds me
of guys. It's like the fight scene and Anchorman, right
(28:40):
when they all show up.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You got the anti grub, the anti line, the anti geno.
Only question is who's got the trident? And do we
respect the no hair and no face rule? Well, we
all get after it. This is crazy. I just think
there's I.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Mean, there's blame to go around, sure to me, and
I just I just don't jump on the offensive line
because I feel like almost everybody jumps on the offensive line.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
So I try to make it. You want to be
the contrarian. I want to be the contrarian. Just because
everyone else says it doesn't make it wrong. Day present
other options.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Did you see what my guy did today on Twitter?
He put a pall out asking for a grade on
Ryan Grubb. Most people said, see, I believe we can.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
We can do that.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Later on and then all these people responding, it's the line,
the line sucks, blah blah blah. One guy responds by
ripping grub.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
He retweets that one that one for you.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Let's represent the minority. I mean maybe it's not.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I think your guns. I think this tweet was awesome.
This this is siege said.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
So many jibble are blaming the offensive line in order
to bail out Grubb. Every coach can point to roster
deficiencies as excuses for poor performance. Good coaches scheme around
the deficiency efficiency. The hell, I think that's a hell
of a tweeting the offensive line. You want to put
it out there, good job, se.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Only the offensive line of deficiency is like calling Hervey
Village as short?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Are you kidding me? All right? Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Following the story of the Niners, linebacker de Andre Campbell
refused to enter the game and they're lost to the
Rams on Thursday, quarterback Damador Leonor.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Out of out again.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It was blunt about his thoughts on his teammate and
a post practice media availability.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
When he first got sign You know, I was thinking
of my head, like, you know, we got another guy
that we can add, you know, to the defense.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
You know that that can.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Contribute, you know, for that to happen and him to
do that, you know, you know, I just I just
lost all respect, you know, because I'm I'm I'm a
person that's going one hundred and ten percent of every play.
So if I if i'm if I'm hurt, you know,
in the and the guy behind me is not backing
(30:53):
me up and can't come in or don't want to
go in, So I just feel like that you needn't
cancel to the team.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You know, it is clear as a bell that he
is not well liked in that locker room, because sometimes
when things like this happen, you'll hear guys say things like,
you know, he's our brother, we got to support him,
blah blah blah, he's going through No, they are coming
out slamming this guy.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
That's a great.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Point because I when it first happened, I mentioned that,
you know, you can't quit. You quit on your team,
and the guys will just turn on you. But I
think you're accurate in saying if it was a guy
that was really, really well liked, sure they would have
been like, Okay, we kind of understand the reason he's
doing this, and nobody else understands this, so we're gonna
defend him a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
And you're right, they can't stand this dude. And you
see where they wiped wiped it clean. No, he's got
he's got no locker anymore, no name plate, no nothing.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
But he hasn't been cut. He's just been suspended. But
they have excommunicated his name from.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The locker room.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So I said it yesterday on the show. I love
the fact they suspended him because he keeps him in
the news. It also saves the Niners a bunch of money.
By the way, Yeah, that's part of the reason why
they suspend them.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
They have bigger reason. All right, did you happen? What's that?
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Let's see which on three or four ers?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Okay, it is regular radio interview on ninety seven to
one that take in.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Was as fired up as you would expect about the
prospects of his team overcoming adversity.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You know what happens is, you know, you win eleven
in a row, you know, and you lose and then
the sky falls and I hate to say it, but
we're not going to be able to win eleven in
a row again for the rest of the season. We're
just not going to be able to do it. And
you know what happens is you get used to eating
file at and I'm talking to all of us, and well,
everything's good, life's good, you know. And but you forgot
(32:32):
what it was like when he had nothing and he
ate your molded bread, you know, and it was just fine.
And he gave you everything you needed. And sometimes you
got to get punched in the mouth and remember what
it used to be like to really appreciate where you are.
And we'll do that. And so we got a bad
taste in our mouth. We got kicked him around the
other day, we lost a few guys, and you know what,
(32:53):
it's exactly what we needed. This is exactly what we needed.
And we will play the game anyway needed to win.
And I don't give it if we got to win
by one point for the rest of the year, that's
what we're gonna do, and I'm gonna be happy about it.
We come out of the game with fifty yards of
total offense and we win by one, you're going to
see smiles on my face, I promise you, all right.
(33:13):
If it's the other way defensively, we give up seven
hundred yards and we win by one point, you're going
to see a smile from my ear to ear right,
I can promise.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
You So I love these guys with these old school
analogies when you're in the foxhole and you look at
your brother and you tell him, I will do whatever
it takes to make sure we get out of here
because I love you and you are my brother. Okay, maacho, man,
you realize that he is twenty four and seven his
last thirty one games in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You said it perfectly.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
He's the reason why they might why they might win
a super Bowl, and he's the reason why they might
lose it. The problem now though, with Detroit, for me, Dick,
with David Montgomery going down, Carlton Davis, the amount of injuries,
that kind of riverboat gambler that he is, he may
have no choice but to do more of that to survive.
I mean, their defense is in shambles right now.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
My question is why was he doing it when he
didn't need to do it.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I think that when you when you're a favorite and
you play like a twenty point underdog, I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Why on my kick was stupid?
Speaker 5 (34:13):
On side kick with eleven minutes left the week before
in a tie game with forty three seconds left, He's like, nah,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Want a field goal to win the game. Let's go
for it.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
I like the four that is quarterback slipped and filled out.
Let me ask you question he still got Let me
ask you a question. If you're a Lion fan, though,
and you've gone through the misery that you've gone through
four years ago, if I would have told you we
can hire this guy, he's gonna be twenty four and seven,
But he's gonna You were to said, where do I
sign if it means he's gonna be a little bit
of a meathead when it comes to these in game decisions,
(34:43):
and who knows, maybe one day he'll wake up. I mean,
Dan Lanning may have learned a little bit I don't
know from his past mistakes. So we're gonna find out.
I'm rooting for him, but my god, with those injuries
they have, it's becoming increasingly harder, uh and more difficult
to imagine them on this off dude, with the injuries
they've got.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
We're talking to Everett tonight before the cracking game because
we need to.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
We need to talk a little Lion football.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
With Everett before the crack never mind the Senators crack,
and let's get them on the sock of Lions.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
All Right, Husky Hanks.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Greg Mario Camari House and the Portal Khalita Phi in
the Portal Louisville and the Sun Bowl. How much better
can the offensive line get between now and next September.
It's been a minute, but the Hanks are back next
on ninety three to three KJRFM.
