Speaker 1 (00:01):
I went to see Adam Sandler last night. By the way,
I have not laughed that hard in a long damn time.
It was the exact opposite of the Shane Gillis experience.
By the way, it was unbelievable. He brings out David Spade,
he brings out Kevin James, he brings out Rob Everybody's
he's singing songs, he's he's got this. Oh, I mean,
I can't even get into it, like most of it.
It's like I can't even talk to any air Aboutica.
(00:23):
He did not do Honikah, but he did the Farti tribute,
which was incredible, the Chris Farty tribute, which did not
a dry eye on the place Jackson for the Chris
Farty tribute last night at the Adam Sandler show. And
the most impressive thing about the show, by the way,
it was packed.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
There was eighteen thousand people in there for that show.
It was amazing, really really cool. So I needed that.
So thank you to Adam Sandler.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I practically peded my pants when he did the what's
the nipple thing that he does? You know I'm talking about, Yeah,
he does the mismatched nipple deal and he's got like
all these nipple cartoons dancing around. I almost peed my
past on that my face. Have you ever laughed so
hard that your face starts to hurt?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yes, yeah, I happened in the theater.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
And when I watched old school face melted off, I
was laughing, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
God, well I needed that, man, I really didn't need that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
And then I go on the air with Chuck and
Buck and they're talking about the World Series. So the
high lasted about twelve hours for me before tonight. But
you know what, I think we've kind of accepted it,
as we did yesterday on the radio program. Right, guys
at the Toronto Blue Jays, we're going to win the
World Series, and those suns of bitch bastards when they
come down from Canada next year in July, because it'll
be the fourth of July weekend. It's because somehow, some
(01:33):
way we all love having Toronto here for the Birthday
of America Friday, Saturday Sunday in the middle of freaking July.
It's gonna be as bad as it's ever been. I'm
telling you right now. If they win this thing and
win the World Series, and you know what, we may
have already moved past that line anyway, as far as
how fired up those Blue Jay fans will be here
to invade that stadium? Do you think Let me ask
(01:53):
both of you guys a question, and I want to
get some text on this too. I know we're not
doing textimonials. Well maybe we will at four forty five
before football. Do you think, because it's easy for people
to say, oh no, all they care about money, do
you really think that the ownership of the Seattle Mariners
is POD when all those Blue Jay fans invade their stadium.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I do not believe that.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
God darn it, I do not believe that. I think
I don't. I wouldn't say POD.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I think I think it bothers them to a degree,
but not it's about a tenth of a degree of
what it bothers actual fans.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Are we just because that's the point I was going
to bring up, are we just looking at this from
just a totally different context that, Hey, we don't have
any skin in the game financially, we don't put up
hundreds of millions of dollars a year. If we own
the team, we'd feel differently. If we own the team,
we'd be a little maybe desensitized. I guess to things
like that, we'd be more bottom line people than emotional people.
And maybe because we're not bottom line people financially with
(02:54):
the baseball team.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
We're bottom line people with the.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Wins, for sure, but because we're not technically financially involved
the way they are, we have a different context and
we look at it in a different light, you know.
And I Jackson, I hope that you're right that it
does bother them. I understand that business is business, but
I don't know. I just kind of compare and contrast,
like what the Phillies owner has said before about his job,
(03:18):
and I would think that a guy like that, I
can see a guy like that being really mad if
a bunch of met fans invaded their stadium.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I think this is gonna be by far the most heated,
contentious Blue Jays series on the fourth of July weekend
or any other weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Than we have seen. And I think it's gonna be
something that you.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Should hire extra scurity.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yes, I think it's gonna be not the kid not
the type of environment that the Mariners fostered. Would you
all agree that the Mariners have the most family friendly
outlook of probably any franchise in this city.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, in this city for sure, Yes, totally. That is
game is totally different.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I do not belie. Yes, you agree with that, Yes,
I do not believe. I mean, this is gonna be way.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
More a Seahawks Niner environment. Well, then it's gonna be
a man the thing and the Mariorers aren't gonna like
that because there are gonna be fights that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I don't want exactly. I don't want this to be
looked at as an insult to the Seahawks. It's just
a different it's a totally different vibe. And I'll give
you an example of that. How many times do you
read that the Mariners have off duty cops wearing jerseys
of the opposing team walking around looking for troublemakers. You
might have to do that this t mobile with the
(04:29):
Seahawks do that and they tell you they're doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The Mariners never do that, right because the Manors don't
have to crack and don't do that. The Storm don't
do that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
The Sounders might want to do it, but I mean,
I'm not sure if they do or not, but the
Seahawks definitely do it.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I mean those I think it's gonna be more Sounders
Timbers esque, y Seahawks Niners esque than it has been
in the past because in the past, like, I'm more
interested going to that series now than I have been
the past.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I've told you I want nothing to do with Blue
Jay Weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But now I'm like, why do you want to go?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Because it's gonna just just just I'm gonna be contentious
and it's gonna feel like playoff Baseball in July, and
that kind of excites.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, I guess, I mean, maybe I'll be with you
when the time the series shows up. As of right now,
I got no desire to be in that building at all.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
But you know, don't you feel different now than you
did last year because now you really hate the Blue Jays,
whereas before you're just like pissed off.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I just don't I don't trust myself. Dude. I'll be
honest with me.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You can take a swing.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I'm not saying I'm gonna take a swing at somebody,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna definitely open up my fat mouth,
that's for sure, and that could result in somebody taking
a swing at me. I mean, if that dude, that
went after Andrews shows up again? Is that guy been
banned from the park? Do we know, mister mister psycho
in centerfield? If that guy's if that kind of dude
is sitting next to me, and I start running my mouth. Dude,
(05:51):
I don't trust myself to shut the hell off. I
don't trust myself to shut the hell up on the show,
let alone sitting in that stadium next to an ordery ranky,
fucking the piss out.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Of me blue Jay fan? Are you kid me so?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I mean, Jackson, do you ever desire to be in
that building? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
I actually do, because I do think it's going to
be I think I'm a little bit different than Dick.
I think it's going to be contentious. I do think
it's going to be a lot of Blue Jay fans.
If they in the World Series, They're gonna travel everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
NOx especially in the northern Oh my god, Detroit, and
they're gonna travel so much, and they're gonna travel massively
down from Vancouver here.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
And I think it is going to be not Niner Seahawks,
not Timber Sounders. It's gonna be I think a lot
closer to what we've seen in the past, but because
you are going to get a ton of traveling, so
I want to be there because we Mariner fans need
to be there to combat that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Let's all start working out right now, more apt to
buy tickets Now.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Maybe we'll do a march to the match like the
Sounders and just walk down the street locking arms, hand
in hands. Or we could be like the fight seeing
and anchorman in the parking lot. Who's bringing the bats,
who's bringing the tried ends, who's bringing the flamethrower? Right?
But just make a rule with the Blue Jay fans.
All right, everything is okay except for the hair. No hair,
no hair, no face. Okay, you can do whatever you want,
(07:16):
but no hair, no face. All right, somebody bring a
tank while they're at it. Three fourteen Rick Newhies we're
going to join next on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Your home for college football Saturdays, is live with CBS
Sports analyst Rick new Heiseel, powered by Taco Time. Hungry
at Taco Time, It's easy to create exactly what you're craving,
and we wouldn't have it any other way. How do
you Taco Time customize your meal in order ahead on
the Taco Time Northwest out Taco Time Time for something
different now with Rick new Heisel, here's softy and Dick.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know, I want to just remind you that Taco
Time has the spicy tator fries of spicy.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Ranch dressing on the menu. They're back for a limited time.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Once they're on you never know who they're coming back,
and I'd recommend mixing it with my favorite, the Chris
beef burrito.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
What else I would recommend.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Dick is listening for Rick new Heiseel's Tacolate Time pick
of the week at the end of this segment, because
he is.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Four and zero in the last four weeks.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He began slow at one and five and he's crawled
all the way back to five hundred after nailing Vanderbilt
over Missouri last week.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And he's with us now. He's red hot. He's Rick
new Heiseel.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
How are you, gentlemen? How are you? And one of
my favorite things about appearing on this program with you
is I get to listen to the news, the weather report,
all the different things that you know, obviously having lived
in Seattle. I get to catch up and Safia don
to me, is you spun the rare coin thing? And
(08:49):
all the friends that are with no pressure are going
to look at the folk all your rare coins. You
are a rare coin unto yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You really are. I appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
And then it done. And then it dawned on me
how much I missed Seattle. As I find out on Halloween,
for all the kids, we have an atmospheric river. Right,
this is going right be above the beautiful far city
of Seattle. That that is so home. That's well home
for all that with everybody. A safe and secure Halloween.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
For all the adults is going to be a big
party here at the five twenty bar and girls, so
maybe raining outside, but it's going to.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Be red hot inside here at the five twenty bar
and girl.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I thought you were going to say your favorite part
about appearing on the show is when it was over.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
By the way, So thanks Alisa not doing that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But let's uh, let's let's dive in, man, and there's
a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Why don't we start with well, let's just start. Let's
start first with.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Your alma mater, man, because I am just all these
people around. You know the country I saw one and
I think it was Bovada came out with odds for
the next UCLA coach, and they got Jetfish is the favorite.
There's a report out that Jetfish doesn't want the job
at UCLA, but who really knows, you know, UCLA's administration,
you know, Martin Jarmond, the ad how high do you
think Jetfish is honestly on their radar down there?
Speaker 8 (10:06):
I think if Jed wanted the job, he could have
it because the search committee is is going to be
led by Casey Washerman, and Casey Washerman has an agency.
Amongst the next four guys on the search committee are
all Casey Washerman clients. Wow, so it's going to be
(10:27):
and Jetfish, I think, is a Casey Washerman.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, Doug Anson right correct, yep.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Yep, Yeah. So they're going to want him desperately, and
he's had a time at UCLA. He knows all the
idiosyncrasies at UCLA, so they're going to want him. But
as Washington wanted Jim Mora years ago, you know, you
can sweeten the deal where you are, and Jed is
(10:56):
certainly savvy enough to understand how the business is played,
and so it'll work itself out. But I will tell you,
given the two administrations, having worked at both, there's no
comparison that the better job is the one he has
in Seattle.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Rick, let's talk about the team he's coaching right now,
because they had a hell of a game on Saturday
against Illinois. We know the Huskies aren't elite, but how
good are they compared to teams ranked in that ten
to twenty range. I'm looking at a team like Virginia,
for example. They've lost to NC State, They've beaten a
bad FSU team in double overtime, a bad unc team,
and he beat the Coops at home by two. It's like,
(11:33):
are the Huskies really worse than that team?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
No? No, the Husky can play with anybody as long
as demon Williams is free to rome. If Demond Williams
gets caged, as he did against both Michigan and Ohio
State in both of those games, end up with minus
rushing yards, then it's difficult for Washington to play with
(11:57):
that particular team, given that that much of their offense
has been gone by the wayside, and putting that much
pressure on your defense, the ability for the offense to
have demand out on the edges and making the plays,
and you know, expanding the field if you will Terry Donnay,
you just call it getting to the green grass. If
(12:17):
you can get to the green grass, you have a
chance to make all kinds of plays. And certainly that's
what Demon allows when he's not caged in.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
So remember the old song, don't fence me in. That's
Washington's offense.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, got it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, I'll make another ub connection to another school in
college football. Former Husky ad Scott Woodward is now the
AD at LSU, And obviously he was at Texas A
and M. And the Governor of Louisiana came out and
made it crystal freaking clear Scott at Woodward and picking
no coach at LSU. He looks at what he cost LSU,
(12:54):
he looks at what he cost A and M, and
he wants Scott Woodward to have nothing to do with
the new coach at LSU. So I guess my question
to you is how influential do you think the Governor
of Louisiana will be in deciding who makes that call
to be the next head coach and who the coach
is going to be.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
You know, I don't know Louisiana politics, but I know
that Scott Woodward before joining ranks with Jeff Emmert, with
Mark Emmert at LSU, who then the two of them
came to the Virgary of Washington right as I was leaving, right,
I know that Woodward was involved in politics, and the
two of them apparently had some differences of opinion the governor,
(13:36):
the current governor and Woodward. So I get why there's
a little bit of you know, political you know, banner
going on. I can't imagine that Scott Woodward is not
going to have something to do because if you look
at who he hired as a women's basketball coach, who
he hired as is you know, all the other sports
that LSU is performing. Gymnastics as a matter of fact,
(13:59):
they they're doing just fine. Baseball, they've won national championship.
So to me, this is a little bit of a
political play by the governor. But who knows. In Louisiana
anything kind of goes well.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Woodward grew up with James Carville, as you guys know,
so they've been buddies for a long time, and he's
that was kind of his upbringing him background. But I mean,
who do you think should be the favorite now that
Matt Rule has signed on at Nebraska for an extra
couple of years. I don't know if LSU ever thought
of Rule as a real candidate, but who do you
think should and will get that job?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
So they're going to try to get Lane Kiffin, just
like Florida is going to try to get Lane Kiffin,
and Ole Miss will try to hang on to Lane Kiffen.
And the other guy that I think they'll really take
a run at is Dan Lanning. And Dan has said
he's locked in at Oregon. But as Dan looks at
his ability to recruit the top guys in terms of
(14:52):
the defensive front, because most coaches realize, I don't know
who's going to win the national championship, but I know
what they're going to look like, and they're going to
have a defensive front. It resembles what you can accumulate
at LSU. The Great Nick Saban told me when he
went there that he wasn't really feeling like he should.
He felt so different from where he'd been at East
Lansing in Michigan State. His wife he's sent down there
(15:15):
to look around. She said, this is a problem. This
is a problem. This is a problem. But you should
see the defensive lineman. And because of that and Because
of that, Dan Lanning will be interested in that job,
even though I know he's loyal to those who brought
him to Oregon, but I would not be shocked if
he got lured in in the Bayou.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
What do you make of Paul Finbaum who says he
believes Nick Saban would actually consider the LSU job for
the right package.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Well, just like I told you, Nick Saban absolutely would
consider it. The question is, well, miss Terry considerate, and
if Miss Terry's not interested, then no dice. Nick will
stay on the desk at ESPN and Terry will fly
along with him and they'll have a great life to get.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Rick new Heisel with us trying to see a taco time.
If I were asked to vote for the Heisman right now,
I'd have no damn idea, to be honest with you,
I mean, does this strike you as maybe one of
the worst crops of potential Heisman finalists in a long time.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
I don't think it's the worst crop. I just think
it's from teams that you're not used to having in
the Heisman conversation. For Diego Pavia to be in this
conversation from Vanderbilt or Fernando Mendoza to be in this
conversation from Indiana that is just completely new and foreign
to anybody who's used to this particular award. And yet
(16:39):
both of those guys have been unbelievable in leading their
programs to rare air performances in the year twenty twenty five.
The kid at Ole Miss Trinidad, Shambliss, who started his
career at fair Estate is an unbelievable guy that you
can sit there and say, so, it is unique how
(17:01):
fast people have fallen. The archs Mannings right, the Carson
Becks of the world had just fallen off the map.
You know, nuss Meyer from l s U, Kate Klubnick
from Clemson. But I still think it's really kind of
fun as to who's in this competition this late into
the season.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
How real are the rumors about Sark sniffing around in
the NFL and does he fit there?
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Listen, Sark he is a you know, unique play caller.
People like his offensive acuum and he's been proven. I
remember Pete Carroll fought like hell to keep him and
let Lane Kiffin go to the Raiders when Lane got
that job. So that's how Pete Carroll felt about the
(17:47):
two of them. That aside, Usually when you protest, what
is that Shakespeare line, methinks thou protest too much or
something that something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You on that one.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
I failed. I failed my Shakespeare class. Uh, Hi, how
you doing, my friend? So I think that the fella
next to me, I'm sitting in a country club phone
booth right now, and uh, there's only one place to
use your phone, so he's having to hear my talk
to the great folks in kJ R. But but the
(18:23):
bottom line is, I think he could protest it too much,
So there's probably some veracity to the commentary.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Got it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Well, let's let's let you go then, because you're getting
bothered by the country club, I mean having somebody wants
to use the one payphone on the campus.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
At the country club over there.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So uh, Taco Time pick of the week, spicy tater fries,
the spicy rancher back. I'll go with those and mix
them with a crispy beef burrito for today's pick. Uh,
you're four and oh you're five and five, looking to
get over the hump and get to over five hundred
for the first time this year?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Who do you like?
Speaker 8 (18:59):
I got two pick for you, and I'm going to
let you decide which one you want.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I couldn't do that.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Washington State over Oregon State. That House is hot, the
run that they're on, having near missed at Ole, miss
near missed at Virginia, coming home and blistering Toledo even
though that line was ridiculously low. Now they're going to
Corballis and it's the three and a half point line
that's too low. That House and Company should win that
(19:29):
game and win it comfortably. So that's the game. And
then the one where Wake Forest, Jake Dicker of Washington
State is going down to Tallahassee and they're getting nine
and a half after beating SMU And remember Rhett Lashley
is from the gustmeus On Tree, so they just played
this offense. And now they're going down to Tallahassee where
(19:50):
I don't know if the home crowd is going to
cheer for the d or call for Norbelle's head. They're
getting nine and a half. So both of those games
seemed to me like, oh my goodness, you got to
take both of them. We're gonna go with wake Forest.
We're gonna take wake Forest, and I'll think the Beavers
you know, might have a you know, a shot in
(20:10):
this other one. But I think even if if Florida
State wins the game, it's gonna be inside that number.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, we took the Coogs on Factor Fiction Monday and
they were only given three and a half on Monday.
Now they're given four and a half. And I'll tell
you what, it's even better for wake Forest because you
were wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They're getting ten and a half, not nine and a half.
We're gonna we're gonna give a ten and a half.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Bog of money. Yeah, you watch, you watch they're gonna
give them. Hell, I think the wrong team's favorite.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I love it, all right, man, Hey, I go back
to the to the bar there, get off the phone,
make sure you take our hat off before you enter
the restaurant, and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Point all right, Well, you've been around these country, have
establishment softy here? Are that kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
We'll talk in a week, man, we'll see him.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Man A rare coin, A rare coin, all right, thanks fellas.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
All right, Rick new Isiel likes Wake Forest to the
ten and a half against Florida State on Saturday in Tallahassee.
We'll get a little fun with audio but first factor
Fiction brought to you by the Lucky Ego Casino.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Right now, we're set to go. Glad you're with us.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
It's your shot in our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand Prize. It's Fact Door 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 FM.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right, well, we don't gonna worry about being accused
of funny business today like we were by the Ian
Ferness Extravaganza.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
They say, we can't help each other out on this show.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All of us have to make our own picks with
no influence from anybody else on the team, which, by
the way, I'll just admit to everybody we've been doing
that for years.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
That's radio show.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So if that's a problem for people, I don't know, man,
I mean we kind of you know, we tend to
think about the team more than the individual here on
this program. Maybe it's different from one while we were win,
but not from three to seven. So Thursday's dick Down.
We're getting down and do it. Not a lot left,
But what do you like?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I'm going back to the well the Raiders treated us
two weeks ago. The Raiders are gonna tweet it, treat
us off a bye this week. They're getting brock Bauers back,
They're getting Jacobi Meyers back, They're rested, they're ready, and
they're underdogs against I don't think a very good Jacksonville team. Right,
and when a bad team, which is be defined as
forty percent or worst win percentage, loses by thirty or more,
(22:26):
we talk about these, right, Dave.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
When you get blown out the last game.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
They covered a near sixty percent clip the next week
and they're at home. Right, They're at four and one
this weekend. The Raiders are at home. What's the what's
the number again?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Two and a half?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
They're they're getting two and a half. They're getting two and
a half. You think that Pete feels good about this weekends?
Speaker 8 (22:46):
This question?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Getting two and a half, Raiders getting two and a
half against the Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I I like it.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I'll in the words of Dick Fane Jackson, it was
on my list. It was on my list of games
for this weekend. So I think eventually Pete's gonna figure
it out. He may go back to getting drilled again
next week. But he's gonna win something right sooner or later.
His culture is gonna only get in Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Something's gonna have been. They're flying across the country.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, so let's take the Raiders getting two and a
half against the Jaguars four nine, four to five one
fact or fiction brought to you by our friends at

(24:13):
to three KJRFA, it's time for a little fun with
audio slash. Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did
you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
What's that? Dick? Let's start in college football.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Last weekend, Lane Kiffern and Old Miss beat Oklahoma's on
the road thirty four to twenty six in Norman. After
the law Sooners head coach Brenton Venables said on a
radio show quote, I felt like we were the better team.
Kiffin responded to Venables during a press conference earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Interesting take, that's a hot take a better team. I
wouldn't have thought that people were watching would say that.
You know, I felt that one we won at their
place in one of by eight points, and I think
we left a lot out there. I think we should
have won by a couple of scores.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
So I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
No know how he evaluated that game that they were
the better team. I mean, we had way more yards
twenty one first downs to fourteen, and we played what
eighty seven plays of offense and they had one sack
and didn't force any turnovers. That's a that's an interesting take,
but what whatever he needs to say.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
And also a following up to road trips.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Maybe they had the better team last year or too,
and then beat him.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Sorry, yes, following up on the road against Georgia, we had.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
The better team in Oklahoma. We beat him fifty five
nineteen in the national championship, and we had the better
team at Clemson, and we beat him forty five to
forty in the national championship at Alabama. Next question, my bad.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
He sounds like a little bit of a baby. Oh Dave,
doesn't he? I mean, dude, what are you doing? He's like,
you're seven and one, what are you worried about that stuff? For?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Like he was prepared for that, He did some research.
He was ready for that question at his pre conference.
I mean it's like it's like you won the game, Like, okay,
the guy's just talking coach speak to his kids and
maybe getting his guy some confidence going after getting beat
by eight points to Ole Miss, And he was really
bothered by that.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Now, I do think he's in I do think he's
a good coach, but sure, I think he's always sounded
like the snotty, little rich.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Kid son of a coach, son of a coach.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Yeah, he sounded like that since he was got like
twenty eight years of age.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I would not be shocked if he said something, well,
you know what, let's do a Twitter pool, let's see
a twitter thing.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, I.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Think a better shot to take.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
He was just to simply say, well, if he's got
the better team, then I must be the better coach,
because I was to coach the lesser team.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
After, I mean, it feels like there's a little bit
of a thing there between Venables and Kiff And I
don't know what that is or where that came from.
Number maybe it goes back to the Clemson days when
he was with Dabbo. I have no idea, but he
does seem to come across as a guy that worries
about You shouldn't worry about a little bit of a
child when it comes to stuff like that. But you're right,
I mean, he might be the most in demand coach
in college football right now. There's nobody doesn't want him.
(27:10):
Everybody wants him for sure, he dick. Did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Last night on ESPN tip off the former inside the
NBA crew Chuck Kenny shack Ernie recognize that they have
been on ESPN for the whole week now and they
failed to do one thing all ESPN shows must do.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
We've this our second week on ESPN. Yes, and we
still haven't talked about the Cowboys Cowboys. You know, they
haven't contractedly obligated to talk about the Cowboys every day,
even though they defense can't stop bloody No, but they're
off the Cowboys. Why do we get to the couch now?
(27:52):
You know that's a listen, stop stop stop me from
scoring on Train your best defensive player, the wild about
Cats Doman about those cowboys, come on.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I love it. Good for them.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I mean, they got to have the idea they can
say whatever they want right because they're obviously the ESPN
needs them more than they need ESPN. I think it's
great that those guys are still doing it. They're producing
the show. Actually I believe at Turner, but they just
erran on ESPN, so nothing changes from their perspective. It
just gets put on a different network and when they
(28:26):
can start to take shots at their current employer a
week in and bust their balls about their ridiculous coverage
that they give teams like the Cowboys, I'm all for it.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Nothing has changed in that show. It is as awesome
as it always has been. But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
One of the reasons I don't watch First Take anymore,
and I never watch First Take anymore, huh. And one
of the reasons is the incessant Dallas Cowboys talking And
I just like why and it weird times in the
year two they'll be talking about the Cowboys on like
June fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Well, why do they do it?
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Then?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
If it pisses people off, it's got to turn into ratings.
I mean, they're not stupid, right, and they feel.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
That there's enough Cowboy fans out there or people that
hate the Cowboys enough that want to hear about them
to rationalize it.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But I just I got turned off saying it may
not work for you, when I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But I'm just saying that unless they're idiots, like complete nimrods,
which is an underrated word by the way, that ding
back they're looking at numbers. They see what kind of
ratings they get for their segments and the topics they
bring up.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
They've got to be looking at and say, well, this works.
That's why we keep doing it. It works, right, whether
whether we like it or not.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I mean, Dick, you know me, I don't watch any
of those shows, talk shows, whatever. I don't watch pregame,
none of it. All right, you'll be lucky enough to
get me to watch a freaking game. I'm not watching
that nonsense.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
But it is an ESPN thing.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
The Fox shows they don't talk about the Cowboys anymore
than they talk about.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
The get better ratings, do you know? For their talk shows?
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I would imagine gets more than Fox just.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Because probably, well let's do this one. We'll keep it
right here. Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (29:55):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Later on ESPN tip Off, Charles Barkley's sounding off on
out NBA players react to criticism by coaches nowadays, you.
Speaker 10 (30:04):
Know, and it's interesting when you talk about coaching coaches.
In my day, when the coach criticized you was called
good coaching. When people criticize day, it's called hating. And
that's why the bomb be driving me crazy, Like, dude,
that's what coaches their job is to criticize. It ain't criticism,
it's coaching these bombs out there time. But these guys
(30:27):
are hating on people. You mean you mean coaching, coaches
doing their job. Give me a break. Lakers in Minnesota
stay on the internet.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
On the internet.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
So I mean the one guy that I get bothered
by is Danny Hurley because I think he is a lunatic.
You see him, like two nights ago, he was going
bananas already, yeah, already November. He is, he is, He's
got an anger management problem. That guy is unhinged and
he needs psychiatric help.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Coaches yelling at players who screw up and they get
in their face and they point aingers at him. I
don't got any problem with that. And I don't even
have a problem with a guy grabbing somebody. I know
you do a little bit, and a lot of people
agree with you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
If there's a coach that puts his hands on the
back of a guy's neck and pulls his head in
so he can clearly hear what he's saying, I got
no problem with that. I mean, when did that become
like the worst thing. Oh, don't touch anybody, don't know,
I don't know. I'm saying that you feel like that
totally problem. But there's a lot of people that do.
There a lot of people say I do think people
in general are getting softer, But I also think that
(31:29):
people in general get softer from generation to generation to generation.
I mean, look at one hundred years ago, fifty years ago.
Our grandparents are parents versus ucer you get me things,
you could do, things you could say, a way you
could talk to somebody. You know, you think Bobby Knight
would fly right now in twenty twenty five, Hell no.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
And I think that at the NFL level it should
be different than at the college level.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
That should be different.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
At the high school level, yeah, there's no way I
could lay a hand on any kid in and anger.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, especially in God school, especially in gold I'm not
on basket, Yeah yeah, I mean, can you imagine there's
no way a putt you get seat.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
I mean, but at the NFL level, I mean.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I don't think there should be any Now. I thought
that the coach of the Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Went a little bit far last week, but I don't
think he went You.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Are well, I think It'd be really funny if a
high school golfer, maybe a college golfer, is walking off
of course after mister to three footer and he gets
decked by his coach.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That was terrible putt.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
He shut down, smacks him right in the face, just
like Jonathan Cannon did, bang right in the chest. That
would never happen. Ever, we're gonna break three fifty six
Mike Holm grin. We'll get his thoughts on that, by
the way, next on ninety three three kJ A RFM.
I went to see Adam Sandler last night. By the way,
I have not laughed that hard in a long damn time.
It was the exact opposite of the Shane Gillis experience.
By the way, it was unbelievable. He brings out David Spade,
he brings out Kevin James, he brings out Rob Everybody's
he's singing songs, he's he's got this. Oh, I mean,
I can't even get into it, like most of it.
It's like I can't even talk to any air Aboutica.
(00:23):
He did not do Honikah, but he did the Farti tribute,
which was incredible, the Chris Farty tribute, which did not
a dry eye on the place Jackson for the Chris
Farty tribute last night at the Adam Sandler show. And
the most impressive thing about the show, by the way,
it was packed.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
There was eighteen thousand people in there for that show.
It was amazing, really really cool. So I needed that.
So thank you to Adam Sandler.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I practically peded my pants when he did the what's
the nipple thing that he does? You know I'm talking about, Yeah,
he does the mismatched nipple deal and he's got like
all these nipple cartoons dancing around. I almost peed my
past on that my face. Have you ever laughed so
hard that your face starts to hurt?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yes, yeah, I happened in the theater.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
And when I watched old school face melted off, I
was laughing, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
God, well I needed that, man, I really didn't need that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
And then I go on the air with Chuck and
Buck and they're talking about the World Series. So the
high lasted about twelve hours for me before tonight. But
you know what, I think we've kind of accepted it,
as we did yesterday on the radio program. Right, guys
at the Toronto Blue Jays, we're going to win the
World Series, and those suns of bitch bastards when they
come down from Canada next year in July, because it'll
be the fourth of July weekend. It's because somehow, some
(01:33):
way we all love having Toronto here for the Birthday
of America Friday, Saturday Sunday in the middle of freaking July.
It's gonna be as bad as it's ever been. I'm
telling you right now. If they win this thing and
win the World Series, and you know what, we may
have already moved past that line anyway, as far as
how fired up those Blue Jay fans will be here
to invade that stadium? Do you think Let me ask
(01:53):
both of you guys a question, and I want to
get some text on this too. I know we're not
doing textimonials. Well maybe we will at four forty five
before football. Do you think, because it's easy for people
to say, oh no, all they care about money, do
you really think that the ownership of the Seattle Mariners
is POD when all those Blue Jay fans invade their stadium.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I do not believe that.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
God darn it, I do not believe that. I think
I don't. I wouldn't say POD.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I think I think it bothers them to a degree,
but not it's about a tenth of a degree of
what it bothers actual fans.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Are we just because that's the point I was going
to bring up, are we just looking at this from
just a totally different context that, Hey, we don't have
any skin in the game financially, we don't put up
hundreds of millions of dollars a year. If we own
the team, we'd feel differently. If we own the team,
we'd be a little maybe desensitized. I guess to things
like that, we'd be more bottom line people than emotional people.
And maybe because we're not bottom line people financially with
(02:54):
the baseball team.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
We're bottom line people with the.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Wins, for sure, but because we're not technically financially involved
the way they are, we have a different context and
we look at it in a different light, you know.
And I Jackson, I hope that you're right that it
does bother them. I understand that business is business, but
I don't know. I just kind of compare and contrast,
like what the Phillies owner has said before about his job,
(03:18):
and I would think that a guy like that, I
can see a guy like that being really mad if
a bunch of met fans invaded their stadium.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I think this is gonna be by far the most heated,
contentious Blue Jays series on the fourth of July weekend
or any other weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Than we have seen. And I think it's gonna be
something that you.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Should hire extra scurity.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yes, I think it's gonna be not the kid not
the type of environment that the Mariners fostered. Would you
all agree that the Mariners have the most family friendly
outlook of probably any franchise in this city.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, in this city for sure, Yes, totally. That is
game is totally different.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I do not belie. Yes, you agree with that, Yes,
I do not believe. I mean, this is gonna be way.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
More a Seahawks Niner environment. Well, then it's gonna be
a man the thing and the Mariorers aren't gonna like
that because there are gonna be fights that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I don't want exactly. I don't want this to be
looked at as an insult to the Seahawks. It's just
a different it's a totally different vibe. And I'll give
you an example of that. How many times do you
read that the Mariners have off duty cops wearing jerseys
of the opposing team walking around looking for troublemakers. You
might have to do that this t mobile with the
(04:29):
Seahawks do that and they tell you they're doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The Mariners never do that, right because the Manors don't
have to crack and don't do that. The Storm don't
do that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
The Sounders might want to do it, but I mean,
I'm not sure if they do or not, but the
Seahawks definitely do it.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I mean those I think it's gonna be more Sounders
Timbers esque, y Seahawks Niners esque than it has been
in the past because in the past, like, I'm more
interested going to that series now than I have been
the past.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I've told you I want nothing to do with Blue
Jay Weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But now I'm like, why do you want to go?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Because it's gonna just just just I'm gonna be contentious
and it's gonna feel like playoff Baseball in July, and
that kind of excites.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, I guess, I mean, maybe I'll be with you
when the time the series shows up. As of right now,
I got no desire to be in that building at all.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
But you know, don't you feel different now than you
did last year because now you really hate the Blue Jays,
whereas before you're just like pissed off.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I just don't I don't trust myself. Dude. I'll be
honest with me.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You can take a swing.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I'm not saying I'm gonna take a swing at somebody,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna definitely open up my fat mouth,
that's for sure, and that could result in somebody taking
a swing at me. I mean, if that dude, that
went after Andrews shows up again? Is that guy been
banned from the park? Do we know, mister mister psycho
in centerfield? If that guy's if that kind of dude
is sitting next to me, and I start running my mouth. Dude,
(05:51):
I don't trust myself to shut the hell off. I
don't trust myself to shut the hell up on the show,
let alone sitting in that stadium next to an ordery ranky,
fucking the piss out.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Of me blue Jay fan? Are you kid me so?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I mean, Jackson, do you ever desire to be in
that building? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
I actually do, because I do think it's going to
be I think I'm a little bit different than Dick.
I think it's going to be contentious. I do think
it's going to be a lot of Blue Jay fans.
If they in the World Series, They're gonna travel everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
NOx especially in the northern Oh my god, Detroit, and
they're gonna travel so much, and they're gonna travel massively
down from Vancouver here.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
And I think it is going to be not Niner Seahawks,
not Timber Sounders. It's gonna be I think a lot
closer to what we've seen in the past, but because
you are going to get a ton of traveling, so
I want to be there because we Mariner fans need
to be there to combat that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Let's all start working out right now, more apt to
buy tickets Now.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Maybe we'll do a march to the match like the
Sounders and just walk down the street locking arms, hand
in hands. Or we could be like the fight seeing
and anchorman in the parking lot. Who's bringing the bats,
who's bringing the tried ends, who's bringing the flamethrower? Right?
But just make a rule with the Blue Jay fans.
All right, everything is okay except for the hair. No hair,
no hair, no face. Okay, you can do whatever you want,
(07:16):
but no hair, no face. All right, somebody bring a
tank while they're at it. Three fourteen Rick Newhies we're
going to join next on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Your home for college football Saturdays, is live with CBS
Sports analyst Rick new Heiseel, powered by Taco Time. Hungry
at Taco Time, It's easy to create exactly what you're craving,
and we wouldn't have it any other way. How do
you Taco Time customize your meal in order ahead on
the Taco Time Northwest out Taco Time Time for something
different now with Rick new Heisel, here's softy and Dick.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know, I want to just remind you that Taco
Time has the spicy tator fries of spicy.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Ranch dressing on the menu. They're back for a limited time.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Once they're on you never know who they're coming back,
and I'd recommend mixing it with my favorite, the Chris
beef burrito.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
What else I would recommend.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Dick is listening for Rick new Heiseel's Tacolate Time pick
of the week at the end of this segment, because
he is.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Four and zero in the last four weeks.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He began slow at one and five and he's crawled
all the way back to five hundred after nailing Vanderbilt
over Missouri last week.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And he's with us now. He's red hot. He's Rick
new Heiseel.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
How are you, gentlemen? How are you? And one of
my favorite things about appearing on this program with you
is I get to listen to the news, the weather report,
all the different things that you know, obviously having lived
in Seattle. I get to catch up and Safia don
to me, is you spun the rare coin thing? And
(08:49):
all the friends that are with no pressure are going
to look at the folk all your rare coins. You
are a rare coin unto yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You really are. I appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
And then it done. And then it dawned on me
how much I missed Seattle. As I find out on Halloween,
for all the kids, we have an atmospheric river. Right,
this is going right be above the beautiful far city
of Seattle. That that is so home. That's well home
for all that with everybody. A safe and secure Halloween.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
For all the adults is going to be a big
party here at the five twenty bar and girls, so
maybe raining outside, but it's going to.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Be red hot inside here at the five twenty bar
and girl.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I thought you were going to say your favorite part
about appearing on the show is when it was over.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
By the way, So thanks Alisa not doing that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But let's uh, let's let's dive in, man, and there's
a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Why don't we start with well, let's just start. Let's
start first with.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Your alma mater, man, because I am just all these
people around. You know the country I saw one and
I think it was Bovada came out with odds for
the next UCLA coach, and they got Jetfish is the favorite.
There's a report out that Jetfish doesn't want the job
at UCLA, but who really knows, you know, UCLA's administration,
you know, Martin Jarmond, the ad how high do you
think Jetfish is honestly on their radar down there?
Speaker 8 (10:06):
I think if Jed wanted the job, he could have
it because the search committee is is going to be
led by Casey Washerman, and Casey Washerman has an agency.
Amongst the next four guys on the search committee are
all Casey Washerman clients. Wow, so it's going to be
(10:27):
and Jetfish, I think, is a Casey Washerman.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, Doug Anson right correct, yep.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Yep, Yeah. So they're going to want him desperately, and
he's had a time at UCLA. He knows all the
idiosyncrasies at UCLA, so they're going to want him. But
as Washington wanted Jim Mora years ago, you know, you
can sweeten the deal where you are, and Jed is
(10:56):
certainly savvy enough to understand how the business is played,
and so it'll work itself out. But I will tell you,
given the two administrations, having worked at both, there's no
comparison that the better job is the one he has
in Seattle.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Rick, let's talk about the team he's coaching right now,
because they had a hell of a game on Saturday
against Illinois. We know the Huskies aren't elite, but how
good are they compared to teams ranked in that ten
to twenty range. I'm looking at a team like Virginia,
for example. They've lost to NC State, They've beaten a
bad FSU team in double overtime, a bad unc team,
and he beat the Coops at home by two. It's like,
(11:33):
are the Huskies really worse than that team?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
No? No, the Husky can play with anybody as long
as demon Williams is free to rome. If Demond Williams
gets caged, as he did against both Michigan and Ohio
State in both of those games, end up with minus
rushing yards, then it's difficult for Washington to play with
(11:57):
that particular team, given that that much of their offense
has been gone by the wayside, and putting that much
pressure on your defense, the ability for the offense to
have demand out on the edges and making the plays,
and you know, expanding the field if you will Terry Donnay,
you just call it getting to the green grass. If
(12:17):
you can get to the green grass, you have a
chance to make all kinds of plays. And certainly that's
what Demon allows when he's not caged in.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
So remember the old song, don't fence me in. That's
Washington's offense.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, got it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, I'll make another ub connection to another school in
college football. Former Husky ad Scott Woodward is now the
AD at LSU, And obviously he was at Texas A
and M. And the Governor of Louisiana came out and
made it crystal freaking clear Scott at Woodward and picking
no coach at LSU. He looks at what he cost LSU,
(12:54):
he looks at what he cost A and M, and
he wants Scott Woodward to have nothing to do with
the new coach at LSU. So I guess my question
to you is how influential do you think the Governor
of Louisiana will be in deciding who makes that call
to be the next head coach and who the coach
is going to be.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
You know, I don't know Louisiana politics, but I know
that Scott Woodward before joining ranks with Jeff Emmert, with
Mark Emmert at LSU, who then the two of them
came to the Virgary of Washington right as I was leaving, right,
I know that Woodward was involved in politics, and the
two of them apparently had some differences of opinion the governor,
(13:36):
the current governor and Woodward. So I get why there's
a little bit of you know, political you know, banner
going on. I can't imagine that Scott Woodward is not
going to have something to do because if you look
at who he hired as a women's basketball coach, who
he hired as is you know, all the other sports
that LSU is performing. Gymnastics as a matter of fact,
(13:59):
they they're doing just fine. Baseball, they've won national championship.
So to me, this is a little bit of a
political play by the governor. But who knows. In Louisiana
anything kind of goes well.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Woodward grew up with James Carville, as you guys know,
so they've been buddies for a long time, and he's
that was kind of his upbringing him background. But I mean,
who do you think should be the favorite now that
Matt Rule has signed on at Nebraska for an extra
couple of years. I don't know if LSU ever thought
of Rule as a real candidate, but who do you
think should and will get that job?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
So they're going to try to get Lane Kiffin, just
like Florida is going to try to get Lane Kiffin,
and Ole Miss will try to hang on to Lane Kiffen.
And the other guy that I think they'll really take
a run at is Dan Lanning. And Dan has said
he's locked in at Oregon. But as Dan looks at
his ability to recruit the top guys in terms of
(14:52):
the defensive front, because most coaches realize, I don't know
who's going to win the national championship, but I know
what they're going to look like, and they're going to
have a defensive front. It resembles what you can accumulate
at LSU. The Great Nick Saban told me when he
went there that he wasn't really feeling like he should.
He felt so different from where he'd been at East
Lansing in Michigan State. His wife he's sent down there
(15:15):
to look around. She said, this is a problem. This
is a problem. This is a problem. But you should
see the defensive lineman. And because of that and Because
of that, Dan Lanning will be interested in that job,
even though I know he's loyal to those who brought
him to Oregon, but I would not be shocked if
he got lured in in the Bayou.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
What do you make of Paul Finbaum who says he
believes Nick Saban would actually consider the LSU job for
the right package.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Well, just like I told you, Nick Saban absolutely would
consider it. The question is, well, miss Terry considerate, and
if Miss Terry's not interested, then no dice. Nick will
stay on the desk at ESPN and Terry will fly
along with him and they'll have a great life to get.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Rick new Heisel with us trying to see a taco time.
If I were asked to vote for the Heisman right now,
I'd have no damn idea, to be honest with you,
I mean, does this strike you as maybe one of
the worst crops of potential Heisman finalists in a long time.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
I don't think it's the worst crop. I just think
it's from teams that you're not used to having in
the Heisman conversation. For Diego Pavia to be in this
conversation from Vanderbilt or Fernando Mendoza to be in this
conversation from Indiana that is just completely new and foreign
to anybody who's used to this particular award. And yet
(16:39):
both of those guys have been unbelievable in leading their
programs to rare air performances in the year twenty twenty five.
The kid at Ole Miss Trinidad, Shambliss, who started his
career at fair Estate is an unbelievable guy that you
can sit there and say, so, it is unique how
(17:01):
fast people have fallen. The archs Mannings right, the Carson
Becks of the world had just fallen off the map.
You know, nuss Meyer from l s U, Kate Klubnick
from Clemson. But I still think it's really kind of
fun as to who's in this competition this late into
the season.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
How real are the rumors about Sark sniffing around in
the NFL and does he fit there?
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Listen, Sark he is a you know, unique play caller.
People like his offensive acuum and he's been proven. I
remember Pete Carroll fought like hell to keep him and
let Lane Kiffin go to the Raiders when Lane got
that job. So that's how Pete Carroll felt about the
(17:47):
two of them. That aside, Usually when you protest, what
is that Shakespeare line, methinks thou protest too much or
something that something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You on that one.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
I failed. I failed my Shakespeare class. Uh, Hi, how
you doing, my friend? So I think that the fella
next to me, I'm sitting in a country club phone
booth right now, and uh, there's only one place to
use your phone, so he's having to hear my talk
to the great folks in kJ R. But but the
(18:23):
bottom line is, I think he could protest it too much,
So there's probably some veracity to the commentary.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Got it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Well, let's let's let you go then, because you're getting
bothered by the country club, I mean having somebody wants
to use the one payphone on the campus.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
At the country club over there.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So uh, Taco Time pick of the week, spicy tater fries,
the spicy rancher back. I'll go with those and mix
them with a crispy beef burrito for today's pick. Uh,
you're four and oh you're five and five, looking to
get over the hump and get to over five hundred
for the first time this year?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Who do you like?
Speaker 8 (18:59):
I got two pick for you, and I'm going to
let you decide which one you want.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I couldn't do that.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Washington State over Oregon State. That House is hot, the
run that they're on, having near missed at Ole, miss
near missed at Virginia, coming home and blistering Toledo even
though that line was ridiculously low. Now they're going to
Corballis and it's the three and a half point line
that's too low. That House and Company should win that
(19:29):
game and win it comfortably. So that's the game. And
then the one where Wake Forest, Jake Dicker of Washington
State is going down to Tallahassee and they're getting nine
and a half after beating SMU And remember Rhett Lashley
is from the gustmeus On Tree, so they just played
this offense. And now they're going down to Tallahassee where
(19:50):
I don't know if the home crowd is going to
cheer for the d or call for Norbelle's head. They're
getting nine and a half. So both of those games
seemed to me like, oh my goodness, you got to
take both of them. We're gonna go with wake Forest.
We're gonna take wake Forest, and I'll think the Beavers
you know, might have a you know, a shot in
(20:10):
this other one. But I think even if if Florida
State wins the game, it's gonna be inside that number.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, we took the Coogs on Factor Fiction Monday and
they were only given three and a half on Monday.
Now they're given four and a half. And I'll tell
you what, it's even better for wake Forest because you
were wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They're getting ten and a half, not nine and a half.
We're gonna we're gonna give a ten and a half.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Bog of money. Yeah, you watch, you watch they're gonna
give them. Hell, I think the wrong team's favorite.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I love it, all right, man, Hey, I go back
to the to the bar there, get off the phone,
make sure you take our hat off before you enter
the restaurant, and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Point all right, Well, you've been around these country, have
establishment softy here? Are that kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
We'll talk in a week, man, we'll see him.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Man A rare coin, A rare coin, all right, thanks fellas.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
All right, Rick new Isiel likes Wake Forest to the
ten and a half against Florida State on Saturday in Tallahassee.
We'll get a little fun with audio but first factor
Fiction brought to you by the Lucky Ego Casino.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Right now, we're set to go. Glad you're with us.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
It's your shot in our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand Prize. It's Fact Door 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 FM.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right, well, we don't gonna worry about being accused
of funny business today like we were by the Ian
Ferness Extravaganza.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
They say, we can't help each other out on this show.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All of us have to make our own picks with
no influence from anybody else on the team, which, by
the way, I'll just admit to everybody we've been doing
that for years.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
That's radio show.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So if that's a problem for people, I don't know, man,
I mean we kind of you know, we tend to
think about the team more than the individual here on
this program. Maybe it's different from one while we were win,
but not from three to seven. So Thursday's dick Down.
We're getting down and do it. Not a lot left,
But what do you like?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I'm going back to the well the Raiders treated us
two weeks ago. The Raiders are gonna tweet it, treat
us off a bye this week. They're getting brock Bauers back,
They're getting Jacobi Meyers back, They're rested, they're ready, and
they're underdogs against I don't think a very good Jacksonville team. Right,
and when a bad team, which is be defined as
forty percent or worst win percentage, loses by thirty or more,
(22:26):
we talk about these, right, Dave.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
When you get blown out the last game.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
They covered a near sixty percent clip the next week
and they're at home. Right, They're at four and one
this weekend. The Raiders are at home. What's the what's
the number again?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Two and a half?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
They're they're getting two and a half. They're getting two and
a half. You think that Pete feels good about this weekends?
Speaker 8 (22:46):
This question?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Getting two and a half, Raiders getting two and a
half against the Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I I like it.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I'll in the words of Dick Fane Jackson, it was
on my list. It was on my list of games
for this weekend. So I think eventually Pete's gonna figure
it out. He may go back to getting drilled again
next week. But he's gonna win something right sooner or later.
His culture is gonna only get in Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Something's gonna have been. They're flying across the country.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, so let's take the Raiders getting two and a
half against the Jaguars four nine, four to five one
fact or fiction brought to you by our friends at
the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel or every Day Feels

we joined us at four. We got Ravens Dolphins coming

(24:13):
to three KJRFA, it's time for a little fun with
audio slash. Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did
you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
What's that? Dick? Let's start in college football.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Last weekend, Lane Kiffern and Old Miss beat Oklahoma's on
the road thirty four to twenty six in Norman. After
the law Sooners head coach Brenton Venables said on a
radio show quote, I felt like we were the better team.
Kiffin responded to Venables during a press conference earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Interesting take, that's a hot take a better team. I
wouldn't have thought that people were watching would say that.
You know, I felt that one we won at their
place in one of by eight points, and I think
we left a lot out there. I think we should
have won by a couple of scores.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
So I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
No know how he evaluated that game that they were
the better team. I mean, we had way more yards
twenty one first downs to fourteen, and we played what
eighty seven plays of offense and they had one sack
and didn't force any turnovers. That's a that's an interesting take,
but what whatever he needs to say.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
And also a following up to road trips.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Maybe they had the better team last year or too,
and then beat him.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Sorry, yes, following up on the road against Georgia, we had.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
The better team in Oklahoma. We beat him fifty five
nineteen in the national championship, and we had the better
team at Clemson, and we beat him forty five to
forty in the national championship at Alabama. Next question, my bad.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
He sounds like a little bit of a baby. Oh Dave,
doesn't he? I mean, dude, what are you doing? He's like,
you're seven and one, what are you worried about that stuff? For?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Like he was prepared for that, He did some research.
He was ready for that question at his pre conference.
I mean it's like it's like you won the game, Like, okay,
the guy's just talking coach speak to his kids and
maybe getting his guy some confidence going after getting beat
by eight points to Ole Miss, And he was really
bothered by that.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Now, I do think he's in I do think he's
a good coach, but sure, I think he's always sounded
like the snotty, little rich.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Kid son of a coach, son of a coach.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Yeah, he sounded like that since he was got like
twenty eight years of age.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I would not be shocked if he said something, well,
you know what, let's do a Twitter pool, let's see
a twitter thing.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, I.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Think a better shot to take.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
He was just to simply say, well, if he's got
the better team, then I must be the better coach,
because I was to coach the lesser team.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
After, I mean, it feels like there's a little bit
of a thing there between Venables and Kiff And I
don't know what that is or where that came from.
Number maybe it goes back to the Clemson days when
he was with Dabbo. I have no idea, but he
does seem to come across as a guy that worries
about You shouldn't worry about a little bit of a
child when it comes to stuff like that. But you're right,
I mean, he might be the most in demand coach
in college football right now. There's nobody doesn't want him.
(27:10):
Everybody wants him for sure, he dick. Did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Last night on ESPN tip off the former inside the
NBA crew Chuck Kenny shack Ernie recognize that they have
been on ESPN for the whole week now and they
failed to do one thing all ESPN shows must do.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
We've this our second week on ESPN. Yes, and we
still haven't talked about the Cowboys Cowboys. You know, they
haven't contractedly obligated to talk about the Cowboys every day,
even though they defense can't stop bloody No, but they're
off the Cowboys. Why do we get to the couch now?
(27:52):
You know that's a listen, stop stop stop me from
scoring on Train your best defensive player, the wild about
Cats Doman about those cowboys, come on.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I love it. Good for them.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I mean, they got to have the idea they can
say whatever they want right because they're obviously the ESPN
needs them more than they need ESPN. I think it's
great that those guys are still doing it. They're producing
the show. Actually I believe at Turner, but they just
erran on ESPN, so nothing changes from their perspective. It
just gets put on a different network and when they
(28:26):
can start to take shots at their current employer a
week in and bust their balls about their ridiculous coverage
that they give teams like the Cowboys, I'm all for it.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Nothing has changed in that show. It is as awesome
as it always has been. But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
One of the reasons I don't watch First Take anymore,
and I never watch First Take anymore, huh. And one
of the reasons is the incessant Dallas Cowboys talking And
I just like why and it weird times in the
year two they'll be talking about the Cowboys on like
June fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Well, why do they do it?
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Then?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
If it pisses people off, it's got to turn into ratings.
I mean, they're not stupid, right, and they feel.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
That there's enough Cowboy fans out there or people that
hate the Cowboys enough that want to hear about them
to rationalize it.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But I just I got turned off saying it may
not work for you, when I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But I'm just saying that unless they're idiots, like complete nimrods,
which is an underrated word by the way, that ding
back they're looking at numbers. They see what kind of
ratings they get for their segments and the topics they
bring up.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
They've got to be looking at and say, well, this works.
That's why we keep doing it. It works, right, whether
whether we like it or not.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I mean, Dick, you know me, I don't watch any
of those shows, talk shows, whatever. I don't watch pregame,
none of it. All right, you'll be lucky enough to
get me to watch a freaking game. I'm not watching
that nonsense.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
But it is an ESPN thing.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
The Fox shows they don't talk about the Cowboys anymore
than they talk about.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
The get better ratings, do you know? For their talk shows?
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I would imagine gets more than Fox just.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Because probably, well let's do this one. We'll keep it
right here. Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (29:55):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Later on ESPN tip Off, Charles Barkley's sounding off on
out NBA players react to criticism by coaches nowadays, you.
Speaker 10 (30:04):
Know, and it's interesting when you talk about coaching coaches.
In my day, when the coach criticized you was called
good coaching. When people criticize day, it's called hating. And
that's why the bomb be driving me crazy, Like, dude,
that's what coaches their job is to criticize. It ain't criticism,
it's coaching these bombs out there time. But these guys
(30:27):
are hating on people. You mean you mean coaching, coaches
doing their job. Give me a break. Lakers in Minnesota
stay on the internet.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
On the internet.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
So I mean the one guy that I get bothered
by is Danny Hurley because I think he is a lunatic.
You see him, like two nights ago, he was going
bananas already, yeah, already November. He is, he is, He's
got an anger management problem. That guy is unhinged and
he needs psychiatric help.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Coaches yelling at players who screw up and they get
in their face and they point aingers at him. I
don't got any problem with that. And I don't even
have a problem with a guy grabbing somebody. I know
you do a little bit, and a lot of people
agree with you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
If there's a coach that puts his hands on the
back of a guy's neck and pulls his head in
so he can clearly hear what he's saying, I got
no problem with that. I mean, when did that become
like the worst thing. Oh, don't touch anybody, don't know,
I don't know. I'm saying that you feel like that
totally problem. But there's a lot of people that do.
There a lot of people say I do think people
in general are getting softer, But I also think that
(31:29):
people in general get softer from generation to generation to generation.
I mean, look at one hundred years ago, fifty years ago.
Our grandparents are parents versus ucer you get me things,
you could do, things you could say, a way you
could talk to somebody. You know, you think Bobby Knight
would fly right now in twenty twenty five, Hell no.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
And I think that at the NFL level it should
be different than at the college level.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
That should be different.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
At the high school level, yeah, there's no way I
could lay a hand on any kid in and anger.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, especially in God school, especially in gold I'm not
on basket, Yeah yeah, I mean, can you imagine there's
no way a putt you get seat.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
I mean, but at the NFL level, I mean.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I don't think there should be any Now. I thought
that the coach of the Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Went a little bit far last week, but I don't
think he went You.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Are well, I think It'd be really funny if a
high school golfer, maybe a college golfer, is walking off
of course after mister to three footer and he gets
decked by his coach.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That was terrible putt.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
He shut down, smacks him right in the face, just
like Jonathan Cannon did, bang right in the chest. That
would never happen. Ever, we're gonna break three fifty six
Mike Holm grin. We'll get his thoughts on that, by
the way, next on ninety three three kJ A RFM.
