Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is your official home for Dodger Baseball ninety three
three KJR FM, The saw Few Dick Jackson Show.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Can I include you guys?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Of course we saw the Dodger podcast commercial running. We should,
we should listen to that.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We should Dodger Blue time to do it. It's it's
right now, man. But this is why we and I'm
gonna say we gave Blake Snell thirty six million dollars
a year for games like tonight. Come on, man, all right,
we want Blake Snell the local kid to shove it
up their knuck ass at at five o'clock this evening
at Dodgers. Two words cannuck come buck ass. Depends on
(00:34):
the context. By the way, I believe shoving it up
some kanuck ass is one word. Okay, one word, but yeah,
let's hope you can get it done tonight. Man, that
was not pretty last night.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So I don't know. I was just telling Jackson off.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The year we do this little Instagram posts on the
ninety three three KJR Instagram account, and I think I
have a pretty good feel and handle for how Twitter
works as far as like who replies to you and
who doesn't reply to you?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And who retweets you.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You know, most of the stuff that I see on
Twitter is only people and accounts that I follow. So
the people that would retweet you or retweet me or
reply to me, you're typically people that already are part
of the softy kjar At Dick Fane family on social media,
not Blue Jay fans. It's totally different. I go on
(01:22):
social media and I make a crack about the Blue Jays,
and you look at my timeline as far as the
replies filled to the gills, non followers, stuffed with non
believers from Toronto. I'm telling you, these people are mobilizing
each other to go after people I got.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I got it as well yesterday and I got it
from people. Blue Jay fan, Oh yeah, where are you
on Twitter tonight after this game? Well that's not really
how Twitter works, right.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
When Twitter kind of works when the team you're rooting
for wins a game and you're like, yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Crawl a little bit about the team that I'm rooting
for winning a game.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You don't really go on after a loss and say,
you know, and pump up the opposite team that you're
not rooting for.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I don't know, man, I just I just I can't
get over this Mariner thing until at least the World
Series is over.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's too raw.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The scab is just not healing. It's not healing, man,
it's not you know, I'm sitting in the car today.
I'll be totally honest with you and like, you guys
know that this radio show for me is kind of cathartic, right,
It's kind of therapeutic for me. Like I can't just
call up some random to god, I go on the
air at three o'clock. I'm driving down Elliot Avenue to
get to work today and just start thinking about the
fricking home run and how fired up we were after
(02:30):
Game five, How jacked up we were. Man, I'm telling you,
you guys would have loved it being on Royal brom
between the north side of T Mobile Park and the
Silver Cloud Hotel, right, so that little area right out
there in Royal brom By where the Big Mid is,
it was like a freaking party. It was unbelievable, Like
people were running around random strangers, one more, baby, one
(02:52):
more for like an hour. Nobody wanted to go home.
And that was the That was the height. That was
the apex. Looking back on it now me banging on
the class well, Chuck and Bucker doing their postgame show,
running around hugging random people.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
One more, baby, one more. That was as good as
a guy.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It was like Jack Nicholson, remember that movie, walking into
the therapist's office, and he stops and looks at all
all the mental patience.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
And says that, what if this is as good as
it gets? And that was as good as a guest
that night, Dick.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You know, I was actually thinking about that when I
was driving into today, Jackson.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I got a visual. I don't know why it popped
into my head.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Maybe I was listening to Ian talking about the Mariners
or something, and I got the visual of Softy's eyes
in the middle of Game seven, pacing, pacing back and forth,
and we just kept looking at each.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Other and he had this look.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
It was like, if you could have exactly fifty percent
like oh my god, this might happen, elation and fifty
percent scared out of your mind, if you could have
that look in your eyes, that was the look Dave
had that night, And it was just like and I
got that burned in my in my memory banks forever,
(04:01):
and you showed me. I hadn't seen the video, but
you showed me the video after the Detroit win Game five,
because I was at the Husky game, you.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Showed me that video outside.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I mean, it looked like a World Series championship parade.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It was so packed out there.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I think we got a little bit of a sample
of what this place could be like if they actually
do get there. Okay, we've been saying it for years,
what it's going to be like. I think we got
a little bit of a flavor of what it could
be like. All right, joining us right now, Let's get
to it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Mike Florio.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Each time for a weekly conversation with Pro Football Talks
Mike Florio brought to you by Simply Seattle. Tired of
buying and repping the same old Seattle sports gear everyone
else has. For the best Storm, Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Rainiers, Sounders,
and not to mention, the largest Sonics collection in the world,
check out simply Seattle dot com. Now with Mike Florio,
(04:50):
here's Softian Dick all right.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Here he is from the NFL and NBC Pro Football
Talk dot Com. Our friend, the king of all NFL media,
a heavyweight champigne of the NFL Press Corps.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It's our friend Michael Florio.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
How are you man, Hello, good to see you. Let's
talk about what's happening in Minnesota with the Vikings, because
they got two choices now with Carson Wentz being hurt.
Either A turn it over to JJ McCarthy and see
what they got in the second year guy, or B
maybe go out and get a guy like I don't know,
bring back Kirk Cousins to Minneapolis and try to roll
(05:26):
and win some games.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
What do you think they do in Minneapolis.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Well, it's gonna be JJ McCarthy this week. That much
is clear. They've made that obvious. He's healthy now, he's
practicing the whole week. He's good to go. The question
is what happens on Sunday, and there's a scenario where
he either gets injured again. And I hate saying that,
I hate speculating about somebody possibly getting injured, but this
is the guy who got injured in his first preseason
(05:52):
game as a rookie, miss the entire year, and then
in the second regular season game as a second year player,
and he hasn't played since. So you know, we we
have to take that possibility seriously. If he has an injury,
or if he just face plans against the Lions, They'll
have two days to figure out whether or not they
want to hit the Kirk Cousins emergency option. But they
(06:12):
need to see I think what they have with JJ McCarthy.
They need to use the rest of the year to
decide whether or not they need a different plan next year.
They could have kept Sam Darnold. This year, they could
have kept Daniel Jones. Aaron Rodgers supposedly wanted to go there.
There were other options that they said no to in
order to ride with JJ McCarthy. But if he's not
(06:33):
the guy, if the evidence based on two seasons, is
he's not on track to be the guy, then you
need to consider doing what the Colts did with Anthony Richardson,
and that is we're going to bring someone else in.
That guy's winning the job, and you're going to take
a seat in year number three, even though you were
the fourth overall pick in the draft.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
If you gave that front office truth serum right now,
would they say, oh my god, we screwed up, or
would they honestly say, no, you know, we're glad we
didn't sign Daniel Jones we're glad we didn't sign and
Sam Darnold, do we believe in this kid?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I think that they would say, man, we really should
have found a way to keep Daniel Jones as one
and then as two. Maybe we shouldn't have been so
dismissive of Aaron Rodgers because Rogers is doing exactly what
the best case scenario for him in Pittsburgh would have been.
The problem is the rest of the team isn't holding
up there into the bargain.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Mike, do you have any Do you have an NFL
MVP vote? Remind me I have one.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I was going to quit it this year. I was
waiting for them to fire me because I continue to
agitate the AP and I think they didn't want to
give me the satisfaction of firing me, so they want
me to quit, and I don't want to give them
the satisfaction of me quitting.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So here we are, well, okay, So let me ask
you this kind of halfway point, getting close to the
halfway point of the NFL season.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Who's your MVP right now?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Well, they get very nervous when voters talk about that,
So let me go ahead and talk about it. And
I do need to say, because you know, one of
the problems is and one of the reasons I constantly
think about quitting is because of the gambling connection, because
people bet on this stuff, and I don't think these
things should be the subject of wagering. But they don't
(08:12):
ask me that either. But you know, acknowledging that it's
not over, if there's a long way to go, that
that this is all very tentative right now, it would
be hard for me not to vote for Patrick Mahomes
based on the way he's played this year, the way
he looked. He's still heading shoulders the best quarterback in
the NFL. So if in theory, the season ended today
(08:33):
and if it was time to vote, I think very
seriously about Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Do you believe the premise that the MVP has to
be a quarterback? Because there's a running back out there
averaging a touchdown and a half and one hundred and
five yards per game, and he really hasn't had an
off week, like all these quarterbacks have had a minimum
of two or three off weeks this year.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I'm talking about Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Well, I don't know that it's necessarily an unwritten rule,
but the trend has developed. We're generally speaking, the MVP
is the quarterback of one of the two teams that
win the top seed in the two conferences. But that
didn't happen last year. The voters went off the board,
and what with Josh Allen, whose team was not the
number one seed. Usually to be anything other than quarterback
(09:19):
of a one seed, it's got to be somebody who
does something historic, like Adrian Peterson or near historic when
he nearly set the single season rushing record the year
after tearing his ACL and in the final week of
the regular season he did enough to steal the MVP
from Peyton Manning. It usually takes something like that. Maybe
last year changes it, I don't know, but the way
that it typically works, it's going to be the quarterback
(09:42):
of one of the two number one seeds. Because think
about when these votes are cast, it's promptly after the
regular season ends. So what's the most recent thing we're
looking at. We're looking at how the season ended, and
we're going to be extra impressed by the teams that
secure those two top seeds. So their quarterbacks or in
the case the Colts if they win it, Jonathan Taylor,
(10:03):
they're going to get extra consideration.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Mike Florio with US.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Mike, I haven't looked at pressures things like that with
Miles Garrett. But up until last weekend, Miles Garrett is
nowhere near the lead the NFL in sacks, and then
he has five, and all of a sudden he's tied
with Brian Burns for number one in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Now the trade deadline is coming up on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
What are the odds the Miles Garrett gets moved off
a terrible Browns football team that right now is going
nowhere well.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Amid speculation that the Browns could do it, or at
least that they should consider if they put the word
out today to a couple of the usual suspects as
the Browns go locally, Mary kay Cabin of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer nationally chefsie that there's no chance Miles Garrett
is being traded now. Whether they should is a different issue.
And this is a team that is obsessed with analytics,
(10:50):
ignoring the name on the back of the jersey and
approaching everything as a mathematical formula, and under that existence
which they have been living ever since they hired Paul
Deepadetta to be their chief strategy officer. You should trade
Miles Garrett. You should sell now when they they should
have done it before they paid him. One of the
reasons is not to trade him is there's a sixty
(11:10):
three million dollars dead cap charge next year because of
the contract he gave him when he said I want
to be traded, and instead of trading him, you threw
money at him to get him to change his mind
about playing for a crappy team. And now he's like,
oh man, I still play for a crappy team. But
they should have traded him. They should have stocked file
picks because look at it this way, by the time
Miles Garrett is past his prime, that's when the Browns
(11:32):
can maybe turn the corner for the remainder of his prime.
Whatever his prime may be, we may not see the
Browns do anything. So other than the fact that he's
the best player they have and the most recognizable name
on the roster, he really doesn't help the team win
because they have so many other holes. So they should
have traded him before the season. Now it looks like
they're not going to and it makes sense because again
(11:54):
they've got that horrible de Shaan Watson contract and it's
cap ramifications. You put another sixty three million dead cap
money on next year, you got a problem.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Stand in that division, the Ravens have got to be
the first two and five team. They were one in
five and they were still favorites to win the division.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Are you of the belief that they're just going to
flip the switch?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
And when you look at that schedule ahead of them,
they could rattle off eight of in the last night
next nine games.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Well, you know what happened was is we were all
focused on the Shenanigans with the injury report and the
worst possible timing for the team to misidentify whether or
not he fully or limited participated in practice. The defense
got healthy and that ended up being a big factor
against the Bears on Sunday. So now the defense is
healthy and Lamar Jackson is coming back for a Thursday
(12:40):
night game against the Dolphins, who got their win for
the month. So that makes them even more vulnerable. Yeah,
I think they can start rattling off wins here and
pull their way back into it is amazing. They're two
and five and they're in negative territory and the betting
odds for the NFC North and the Browns are two
and six and they're forty to one. It's just weird
to see it. And a technical in third place right
(13:01):
now in the division and his favorites to win.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It, right, Mike, do you think Kirk Cousins going is
gonna get moved as dead cat next year? Drops to
thirty five, which is not nothing, but it's also not
ninety like it was two years ago.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You think the Falcons move on from him.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
I think the Falcons have been looking for the right
opportunity to trade him for months. They kept him. They
didn't cut him in advance of a ten million dollar
salary guarantee next year, fully vesting, because they thought this
is an asset that at the right time, we can
use to get back some of what we gave up
in the form of a draft pick and get somebody
(13:35):
else to pay some of this obligation. They paid him
sixty two and a half million last year. The cash
this year is only twenty seven and a half and
then ten million next year. But if and when they
cut him, and they will cut him after this season,
that ten million gets offset by whatever he makes somewhere else,
and he's not going to play for someone for less
than ten million dollars, So they're gonna move on. They
(13:56):
just haven't gotten the kind of offer. And there's no
team out there that's willing to make the investment of
whatever the Falcons want because I think they've been holding
out for a second round pick and no one's had
that serious quarterback injury that knocks the guy out for
the season that gets the team to pool the Kirk
Cousins emergency option. And based on how he played last
week when he had an opportunity against the Miami Dolphins,
that's not going to make somebody clamor for Kirk Cousins.
(14:17):
So I think it's the Vikings and only the Vikings.
If JJ McCarthy suffers an injury on Sunday against the
Lines or if he just flat out sails, and it's
obvious that this guy isn't suited to play in the NFL.
And I don't mean that sound harsh, but this is
the NFL. It's past fail and once you come in,
you know, the higher your draft of the greater the
expectation is. And if you just can't get it done,
(14:39):
then the team's got to make decisions because if you
you know, the worst thing that NFL teams do. You
make a mistake and you refuse to admit it, and
if you refuse to admit it, you just make it worse.
And we see teams do that, and that is the
dividing line between the functional and the dysfunctional franchises in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Mike, how much legitimacy is there in these stark to
the NFL rumors?
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Well, I never know how these things come to be.
And obviously, if Steve Sarkisian was secretly plotting a jump
to the NFL and it got out, of course, if
it gets out before Halloween, he's going to say it's
not true. You're always recruiting. You're trying to hold your
(15:22):
team together. You don't want your best players to leave
for another program, you know, beyond the old days of Man.
I really don't want anyone to think I'm leaving, because
it'll screw up recruiting of incoming freshmen. It also may
cause your team to fall apart. So I can understand
the reaction. I look at it this way, and look,
I want to be shared anyone who comes the NFL.
(15:43):
And I had no journalism education, but I have been
doing this for twenty five years. To me, if you're
going to report what was reported about Steve Sarkisian on Saturday,
that's one of those where you need to reach out
to his camp and get their response before you push
it because of the damage it can do if it's
not true.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Mike, great stuff. Really enjoy this. We hope you enjoy
it as much as we do.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Every day. Wednesday, Oh, I.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Absolutely do. And you can tell by my I don't
believe voice patterns that I really do mean that.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
FU.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
See you next week, Bud Mike Florio with us on
the radio show. There is a huge difference between college
football and the Pacific Northwest and college football in the SEC.
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you
might want to listen at three forty five to day
on ninety three three KJR FM.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
From the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio. Now
back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R FM.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Hey, you guys all got plans on November thirteenth? Anybody
got plans on November thirteenth? Go to the dentist really
all right, good for you, good for you Jets Patriots
Thursday night football on November thirteenth, or the Kracking playing
that night on November thirteenth, something fairly significance happening on
(17:11):
November thirteenth. The fact that nobody here knows what it
is shows you how lame that people that run this
thing really are. The Cracking are at the at home
against the Jets as well on November thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, I watch that, buddy.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Want to take a guess what's happening November thirteenth? Anybody
at whole Idea. I have each of you one guess
one sports related? Yes, it is sports related. Well, think
about the calendar and what American hockey, US basketball, Husky
basketball maybe.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Playing on that night. That's not looking that up.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Nope, nope, not Husky basketball. Would you like to make
that your official guest Dick Vane, Well, no, because you
just said it. Well, but in the interest, in the
interest of moving on, you could just say, yeah, I'll
make it move on. Thank you for sacrificing yourself. Jackson.
Would you like to guess what's happening on the night
of November thirteenth.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
I have no idea. I'm trying to pair it up
with sports calendaries. I got nothing Sounder soccer.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
No, the Huskies are not playing that night, by the way,
They're at the kubs. The next night, November thirteenth, is
the night we find out who wins the American League MVP.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Really, why why are they this stupid?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It is unbelievably dumb.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I mean, I'm assuming they announce it at like three
o'clock in the afternoon like they do everything else. They're
not going to do it during the football game on
Thursday night, which would just be dumb. But apparently there
is a ceremony in Vegas on November thirteenth or the
Baseball Writers Association of America. Next time we have Larry
(18:43):
stone on, can you please remind me to bring this
up and ask them why they do it this way?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
I remember I think I was with you, Dick, and
I asked him that, and he also agreed that it's dumb.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, I've been saying for decades, decades. You got four
major awards, right, Rookie of the Year, side, Young Manager, MVP.
You're guaranteed how many World Series games?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Four? Four?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So why not game one? Pre game Rookie of the Year,
Game two, pregame on the field, Manager of the Year, Perfect,
Game three, pregame, Cy Young, Game four MVP. And by
the way, if those players happen to be there, then
they get to come out right. Like how many times
do you see in the NBA playoffs a guy gets
his MVP trophy? All the time that happens in the NBA.
It's one thing the NBA does right. They give guys
(19:27):
awards during the year, like in the playoffs, and here
comes Lebron or you know, Mike Ohl or whoever to
get their trophy. It's the dumbest thing ever because we're
all waiting around to see if cal Roley wins the MVP.
And I guess my question to you guys is this,
after the way the Mariner baseball season ended, how fired
up are we now to see if.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Cal Riley wins the MVP.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I am still very interested because it does feel like
the last thing we can cling to from this year.
And yeah, we can always say he hit sixty, but
at the same time, like if he comes away with
an MVP, that's something in tangibly we can say, yeah,
we had the MVP that year.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
For the third time in franchise history. That does mean
something to me, Dick.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, I mean the first time we had an MVP,
the team stunk and we still loved it.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
We're still embraced.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, the team wasn't even close to the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So I mean, I firmly believe that every single day
past Game seven is going to get easier to handle
what happened in Game seven, and it's also going to
get easier to embrace what happened over the course of
the season.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, ninety six, they won eighty five games, and King
Griffy Junior, Actually that was not Was that his MVP year? Yeah,
MVP was ninety seven. Yeah ninety seven, ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
For MVP ninety six button, but maybe maybe that was
the year before that he actually got it.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, ninety seven he won the MVP. Uh and the
Mariners that season also made the playoffs. They were a
ninety and seventy two team with the exact same record
as we had this year.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
By the way, what do you want it to be?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Do you remember those buttons I'm talking about for MVP?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I give you a campaign for like seemingly a couple
of years for him or whatever. But I'm Jackson, I'm
kind of with you, right, and Dick, I'm kind of
with you on this that you know, Look, I don't
know how we're gonna feel when the AO West banner
goes up next year in April. See how we feel then,
But win the MVP, whether you win the playoffs or
you're losing the playoffs. I mean, for the most part,
(21:25):
I think cal Rowley did everything he could do for
this team to make a run to.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
The World Series.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I mean that home run he hit in Game five
and the home running hit in Game seven, right to
make it three to one.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I mean, the guy stepped up.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The guy stepped up and delivered some amazing moments for
the Mariners.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
So I'm totally with you, guys.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I'm fired up for this, and I just hope that
it's something that resonates with people on that day. I
don't know how they would change it outside of doing
what we've been talking about doing, which is do it
before the World Series. But yeah, I mean, circle your
calendar two weeks from tomorrow. The MVP is announced two
weeks from tomorrow, So there you go, right.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Because the Mariners are looking a lot or the Dodgers
looking a lot like the Mariners, because it's literally two
guys hitting the baseball, just like the Mariners had two
guys hitting the.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Baseball last series. Let's get to factor fiction right now.
Where's that to go?
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's
Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel
where every day Feels Lucky. Fact Door Fiction is on
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR F five.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
All right, we are technically in the lead percentage points
ahead of the Chuck and Buck Show, and we have
apparently made a decision here on this radio program to
bench Jackson Felts.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So what did we decide to do. We're gonna give
him a game. Yeah, we got in the game. Yeah,
he's taken credit for it. I don't know why I
should take credit for it. Okay, Well, look at a
team effort man team. Okay, I'm totally fine with that.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
All right, So we all huddled up off the air
because Jackson's admitted as comp for instance shot. Yeah, he's
got nothing left to offer nothing. Maybe you just need
a little bit of a kick in the butt here
and maybe a win or two, we'll get you back
thinking properly. But if you're not ready to play, then
we're gonna have to pull you in and you know,
make this a team effort on Wednesdays. So we have
decided as a team on this selection. It will live
(23:17):
on Jackson's resume, but make it be known to the world.
This is a team pick for factor fiction.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Jackson. What do you go?
Speaker 7 (23:24):
I agree, and I like the pick because I don't
think the line has been affected yet by Terry McLaurin
being out for Washington. Seahawks are still favored by three
and a half points. And that's a Washington team that
I'm asking myself, who are they throwing to? Bill Crosskey
Merrit clearly doesn't have it at running back. I don't
like their offense and the Seahawks coming off of a bye.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I love how this sets up for the Hawks. Yeah
on a short week too, because the Commander's played Monday. Yeah,
against Kansas City. So we're taking the Hawks minus to
three and a half? Is that correct? Hat Washington on
Sunday where Mike McDonald, by the way on the road
ten to one as the coach of the Seahawks ten
and one.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's gonna change at some point, No, but not this weekend.
I like this selection. I do too.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
There's a lot of very smart people around the country
that cover this sport that think that, you know, the commanders,
the stars just aligned.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Last year, they weren't really that good a team.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Remember they got where they were on a hail Mary
against Chicago where one of the Bears players decided not
even to defend the play. It's a totally different story
if that doesn't happen. And they got hot at the
right time at the end of the year. But most
of last year and all of this year they have
been very mid Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, their best defensive player might be Bobby Wagner. He's
thirty five years old. I mean, he is unbelievable man.
Ever since he left Seattle, he hasn't stopped at all.
He's kicking everybody's ass. So good for Bobby. But Seahawks
minus the points brought to you by our friends at
the Lucky Eagle Casino in Hotel where every day feels lucky.
We're going twenty four every Friday and Saturday. Twenty four
hour gaming starts November seventh at Lucky Eagle dot com.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The Hawks minus the three and a half is the pick.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Get him in now Factor fiction four nine four five

Now let's have some fun with audio.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
All right, here we go on a Wednesday night right
here on ninety three three KJRFM, It's time for a
little fun with audio slash.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Hey did you hear that? Here we go? You're ready?
Three two and one? Hey, Dick, did you happen to
hear that?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Dave?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Why don't we say we start with the one we
were talking about. Let's start with number three Jackson. Louisiana
Governor Jeff Landry was speaking at an event earlier today
and said that LSU AD and former U DUBAD Scott Woodward,
remember him, will not, I repeat, will not be selecting
the next Tigers football coach after Brian Kelly fired.
Speaker 11 (26:00):
We are not going down a failed path. And I
wanted to tell you something. This is a pattern. The
guy that's here out a road. That contract cost Texas
a and I am seventy something million dollars right now.
We got a fifty three million dollar liability. We are
not doing that again. And you know what, We're gonna
pick a coach and we're gonna make sure that dead
(26:20):
coach is successful, and we're gonna make sure that he's
compensated properly, and we're gonna put metrics on it because
I'm tired of rewarding failure. I can tell you right
now is not selecting the next coach. Hell, I'll let
Donald Trump select it before. I don't know, but the
Water super Bows is gonna come up with a committee
and they're gonna go find us a coach.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
This is Scott Woodward. Goodbye, I Spokane.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I think Scott Woodward can pretty much say goodbye to
his job. By the way, if he's not gonna be
tasked with picking the next football coach as the ad
at LSU, he won't be tasked with anything. He's on
his way out the door as well. But how about that?
Can you imagine living in a place like Louisiana, Like
imagine a like Bob Ferguson the governor, right, he said that,
(27:03):
are you kidding me? Pat Shun will not be selecting.
I don't't tell you that he will not be selecting
the next coach at Washington. I mean that would never
happen here.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Not really ever, not really this guy's call either.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I mean, oh, I'm certain it's his call. Are you
kid meming?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I think it's this guy's How much pull that guy
probably has over everything happening at Louisiana State University.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
I would also say this, We rag on politicians all
the time, yes, for being stupid when it comes to
talking about such right, that's right, And I don't know
if I would lump him in with any of those
people who've made stupid. This is clearly an LSU a
football fan. He cares a lot about LSU. And he
doesn't that Hendon know all the specifics. Yes, he I
(27:46):
like this. Finally a politician who knows something about sports.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
He's talking about sports.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I understand what you're saying. There is one thing he
said that was idiotic. No coach is going to sign
at LSU if there's not a huge huge contract guarantee.
Of course, talking about a performance type contract.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
No coach is going to sign there.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Oh wait, you mean I'm not going to get paid
this unless I win ten games a year and make
the playoffs. I think I'll go someplace else who will
pay me guarantee.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I think that is incentives.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I think it's fantastic that he's talking like this. I
think it's great when when the top ranking politician in
the state cares that much about the well being of
the college football program to crap on the ad and
tell the world that that boy will not be making
any decisions about a team.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
That is awesome.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
We have bad memories of Scott Woodward.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I thought our.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Memories of Scott Woodward was pretty were pretty decent.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I mean, he got the stadium right. That was on
his watch.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I mean that thing had started a long time before him, obviously,
but he got that done, pushed that through, fired Tyrone Willingham,
hired Steve Starkesian. I mean, my favorite Scott Warward memory
is off the ear that nobody will ever know, because
it was a phone call between the two of us
when the nineteen seventy six rose ball team showed up
outside the Husky locker room before the Oregon State game
(29:03):
in two thousand and eight. We're talking Joe Steo, Warren Moon,
Nesby Glasgow, Michael Jackson, players like that. And somebody asked
Tyrone after the game was over, did you have the
seventy six rose ball team address your locker room? And
he said no, and somebody said why and Tyrone said, well,
because something like that takes months to plan, to which
everyone said no, it doesn't. If Warren Moon is outside
(29:25):
your locker room door, you open the freaking door and
you let him in. And so people are slamming Tyrone.
Obviously they're a terrible football team. I call Scott Woodward
that night as the representative of the Flagship station, and
I asked him and said, hey, man, what's your take
on this is a tyrone?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I said yeah. He said, f and mare on something.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
That's why he's getting f and fied and he fired
him like two weeks later before the UFC game.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh dude, all right, what's next? Hey Dick, did you
happen to hear that? What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Last weekend?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
The ad Sorry the athletics die a boom boom Russini
our old friend the car Boom Boom because of her
big giant feet came out of the report that Texas
head coach Steve Sarksan is interested in potential head coaching
jobs in the NFL, including the current Titans job.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Well.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
On Saturday evening, after the Longhorns beat Mississippi State, Sarkeshan
sounded off on Diana Russini's false report.
Speaker 12 (30:20):
I'd love to touch on this, so bear with me
for a second. It really pisses me off that one
person can make a report that, in turn, the entire
media sports world runs with as factual. To the point
of my agency and my agents have to put a
(30:40):
statement out that they never have done historically, Cia, Jimmy
Sex and Ed Manowitz have never do that. But I
had to do that to protect my locker room and
my team, and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. I
thought it was completely unprofessional of that person to put
that report out, and the fact that everybody ran with
it is borderline embarrassing for the media. And I respect
(31:02):
what you guys do, I really do and everybody else,
but the fact that everybody ran that as truth is
really embarrassing. Okay, So I've got a small circle when
I make decisions on what I do and what I
don't do, and nobody would speak on my behalf without
me knowing. And so where that report came from, I'd
love to talk to that person because it's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
So this is a very weird intersection here for me
and for you too, that we know both these people, right.
We know Sark and we know Diana, and Diana used
to work on this radio show back when she worked
for Comcast. I will tell you what the career that
she's made for herself unbelieveabreadable, right, amazing career for herself.
I mean, she's shot right past you and me. It's unbelievable,
(31:45):
leaving us in her dust. So we know her very well.
We know Sark very well, and I know Diana well
enough to know that she would not put something like
that out there unless she was rock solid convinced it
was true. But I'm also, like Mike Florio, a little
bit surprised she did not talk to him before the
report came out, because I will say this that Steve
(32:06):
Sarkesian has always been still, as I think, one of
the more approachable coaches in college football. If Diana called
the SID at Texas, but we also know very well
and said, I'm gonna run with this report. I'd like
to talk to Steve. I guarantee it. They would put
the two in contact with each other. Guarantee.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
What's Steve gonna tell her?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Probably lie to be honest with you. Yeah, I mean,
probably lie.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
So does she bost is on the record, and that's
up to her then, I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
She's got rock solid evidence. And then she goes to
Sark and he lies to her. I mean, she can
go with whatever she wants. She can say here's what
Steve is saying, or that's not what I'm here. I mean,
for her, stories like this always come down to the
sniff test.
Speaker 9 (32:46):
Right.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
This smells good.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
I mean, Diana's report smells like it makes a ton
of sense.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Does it make sense that Sark would want to one
day be back in the NFL? Of course, because everybody
wants to be in a special this year where he
was supposed to win it.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Arch Manning isn't as good as everybody thought he was
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Everybody's dumping on Sark, and it's just like if I'm sarking,
I'm like I'm getting the hell out of college football.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
We got time for one more Jackson, quickly do four four?
All right? Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that
was that?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Dave?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
What's that Dick?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
During a recent event, ESPN reporter Holly Rowe said that
she once broke up with a boyfriend because of a
comment he made about Pat Summit while at the Espies.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
I'm gonna tell you this part.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
First.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
I had a really hot boyfriend and he was mister Switzerland, bodybuilder.
We dated for four years and when I say smoking hot,
And the reason we broke up was we were at
the Espi's and Pat Summitt had just gotten this award,
the Arthurrash Courage Award, because she'd just been diagnosed with
early onset Alzheimer's. And I'm in the audience and I'm
(33:53):
just bawling at the SPI's and he asked me, what's.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Wrong with you?
Speaker 8 (33:57):
She's just a coach, and so we broke up. So
I just need you to understand I gave up mister
Switzerland because of Pat Summit. This is a true story.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I want to really know how hot this mister Switzerland
really was. I want evidence h how hot you think
this guy really.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Was mister Switzerland. He's got a body.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
I don't know, man, I don't know. There might be
a little bit of exaggeration going on there. I'm not
just seven. Yeah, I think there's six and a half seven.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I'm not really into rating other dudes, to be honest
with you, but I'd say you're probably right. I mean, look,
if you're serious about something like Holly row Is and
like we are as sports fans, can you imagine dating
Jana or me dating Gina or you dating Riza and
while you're going out, you're watching a Husky game and
she looks at you and says.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
You know what, what's the big deal? Will you calm down?
It's just a game, lady. There's the door.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
See done, Audios you can't do it. And you guys know,
my wife is a huge sports fan.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Huge sports My wife isn't, but she respects how much
of a sports fan I am.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
You know, gonna keep her cougar trap shut?
