(01:30):
don't care what the sport is if you do long
road trips to win that last one, but give credit

on the last night of a lengthy six game East
Coast road trip Northeast Coast road trip by winning yesterday

his way. Jaden Schwartz had a two goals and an assist,
(01:53):
and there were a pair, as you heard from Everett,

But the Crack can get.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The two empty netters late and they win it by
a final score of three to nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
They're coming home.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
They'll take on the Edmonton Oilers tomorrow night out at
Climate Pledge Arena. That's where our headlines start brought to
you by Frostbrewed, cors Light Shoes Chill. World Series Game
number one is tonight. The Blue Jays and the Dodgers
doing battle tonight in Toronto. Blake Snell will get the start,
(02:26):
local kid, Blake Snell for the Dodgers, and believe it
or not, Trey you Savage is getting the start in
Game one of the World Series. Not just a rookie,
he didn't even qualify for Rookie of the Year. This
is somebody that had three starts during the regular season
for the Blue Jays and his start and they've had
plenty of rest. Gossman could go and they're starting you
(02:48):
Savage tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Is what a seventh starter, eighth start of the season.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, Yeah, he had three during the regular season, so
he's had more postseason starts in his career then he's
had regular season starts in his career. And he's getting
the game one call tonight. We'll certainly talk more Mariners
later on in the show. Huskies are going to host
Illinois tomorrow at twelve thirty. Pregame starts at eight thirty
with the Hanks Sounders Minnesota United. They'll play Monday to
(03:14):
start the Sounders postseason at six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's a three game series in the first round.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Minnesota Vikings thirty
seven to ten last night, as Justin Herbert dominated the
Vikings bad games. On Sunday, it's a good day to
kind of skip the National Football League if you're gonna
skip it. Husky's Excudney Seahawks are on buy this week,
which meant we were gonna give Greg Bell the day
(03:42):
off rather than talk about the topics we've discussed with
them all week long. But instead, Charles Davis had a
mix up on his flight, so he called Greg and said,
Greg want to hop on?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
And he said, yes, how about it?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Yeah, okay, I'm happy to be your fallback the prom date.
That's just sitting around waiting for the call.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And I honestly I put you on the rundown yesterday.
I always send a show text. I had you on it.
I thought you were doing it, and then I thought
that you couldn't do it because maybe you were going
out of town because you Bells like to travel.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Yeah, my wife's John this time.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Okay, all right, Well for good to have you with us. Thanks, yeah, happy, Happy.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
To be your fallback whenever you stood up.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Our Seahawks insider Greg Bell with us right here on
Chuck and Buck in the morning. So you know where
I want to start with is where we kind of
ended yesterday. And that's the idea that in the future
there won't be just one bye week in the National
Football League that we're all braced or most people should
be braced anyway for a future that includes eighteen regular
(04:53):
season games and two bye weeks. So the NFL season,
I think you and I both agree on this is going.
I want to get longer here very soon, right.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yes, And it would take an exception to the collective
bargaining or going back to the bargaining table for the
players and owners to agree on changing the schedule again.
One of the premises of the last CBA, it was
signed in twenty twenty, it runs through into twenty twenty three,
was the seventeen game season, and we've talked about how
(05:25):
the veterans didn't even want that. But the rank and file,
the majority sixty plus percent of the NFL Players Association
are minimum salary guys, and the owners raised the minimum
salary substantially from four hundred sum to seven forty. I
think it is right there for this year, and so
(05:45):
the sixty plus percent sign me up for that. I'm
going to get a three hundred thousand dollars rais right
off the top coming into the league. And that's why
the CBA got approved, not because it had a seventeen
game season and the veterans those have been around and
didn't care about the minimum salary as much. They didn't
want this. Not to mention Roger Goodell's sweeping authority and
(06:08):
discipline on pretty much anything in the league, pension, drug testing,
there are a bunch of issues that the veteran players
that are the minority of the union didn't want, and
that CBA barely passed, but it passed because of the
minimum salary thing. That's a long way of saying that
the players are not going to easily give up the
(06:29):
eighteenth game. They're going to ask for a higher percentage
of the league's revenues. It's still under fifty percent. I'm
acpecting that the players will last for more closer to
fifty percent of the league's revenues going to the players
in exchange.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
For the eighteenth game.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I think what we're headed to, Chuck, is what the
NFL wants. One they want sixteen international games the year.
They want every single of the thirty two teams to
play in one international game that season. The players hate
that idea. And the second thing is they're going to
move the Super Bowl to the holiday week, the President's
Day holiday weekend in mid February. To your point about
(07:06):
extending the season longer, adding an eighteenth game will help
them get that February fifteen ish Super Bowl Sunday, so
that it will truly be a national holiday where everybody
doesn't have to work the next day on the Monday.
I think that's where it's all headed, but that might
not all happen till the twenty thirty CBA.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Let me ask you about another big picture thing in
the NBA's a scandal right now is forced us to
think about gambling in sports. Do you think the NFL
would use this moment to sort of reassess their relationships
with their gambling partners, not that they would not have
gambling partners and a relationship with them. I mean, it's
a big part of sports. It's a big industry, and
(07:48):
so I know that it's not going to go away.
But these daily prop bets, I mean there are bets
greg that you can make out there on how many
drops a wide receiver will have during the course of
a game. I mean, how on earth is the NFL,
the NBA, Major League Baseball supposed to monitor every individual
(08:08):
bet and whether or not a drop by a receiver
in Week.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Sixteen and a game between.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Tampa and Atlanta might actually have been motivated by gambling.
Is this an opportunity for the National Football League behind
the scenes to kind of assess how they want to
have their daily prop bet company relationships and maybe try
to scale that down a little bit going forward.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Yes, it's an opportunity. But another question, the second, a
different question, is will they do it. If the answer
is no, they won't because the money it is coming
in the interest How half the TV ratings now are
because of fantasy football and betting. There are casual fans
who don't even know who the starting quarterback from some
teams are who are watching games because of those two factors.
(09:00):
Is fantasy football em betting and advertisers know it, and
they pay a premium for especially primetime games because of that.
And that's not going away. You're right, but we lived
a long time without that. But the effort of owners
in the league to maximize and squeeze profits out of
(09:20):
every single corner they can, they went to this, and
once it became more legal across the country, it became
a lot easier for the NFL to accept this.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
They should do it, but they won't.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
What's even worse, Chuck, is if you go those same
prop bets exist in college football, and how corrupt and
wrong is that that a high school This is less
so than it was even five years ago because of nil,
But how easily swayed could a college kid who used
to just eat pizzas and barely get by because he
(09:53):
wasn't allowed to have income outside of scholarship. This is
dating myself about five years. But those guys are more
and much more influenced and potentially swayed to drop a
pass or any other prop that you have on college
freshmen at Central Florida or something. It's pervasive. It's so
pervasive in our society that it's not pervasive in our sports.
(10:16):
And this won't be the last this, Terry Roseier, this.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Won't be the last.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And I told you yesterday the NFL is so good
at so many things of influence and exerting influence and
covering their tracks. It wouldn't surprise us the supposition. It
wouldn't surprise me if this has happened in the league already.
We don't know about it yet and the FBI hasn't
gotten to it yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if
(10:45):
that's on their next frontier, and it's threatens the integrity
of what we watch, of what we are so big,
the huge fans of of what we cover. I don't
walk into a locker room wondering if somebody dropped it
pass on purpose of the game, right, But the specter
is now out there, and that is what has been
(11:07):
created by these leagues.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Lack of a bug.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Buddy Gary Washburn of the Club broke yesterday for being
in bed with betting companies, because that's exactly what's.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Going on our six inside of Greg Bell as with
as you can follow them at g Bell Seattle, of course,
and Thenewstribune dot com for complete Seahawks coverage. It is
bye week for the Seahawks, so it allows us here
on a Friday, talk about some big picture items and
one topic that just kept coming up this week, came
up on the roundtable.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I get it. I know you get it as well.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
When Hugh says, man for the greater interest of the offense,
you got to get more people involved than Jackson Smith
and Jigba. The difference between targets to him and everybody
else is just out of whack. And yet, how do
you restrict something that is working so effectively. I want
to get Jackson Smith and Jigba the ball as many
(11:58):
times as possible. So how do this Yawks not curtail
what JSN is doing to defensive secondaries in the league
while getting Tory Horton some development and Cooper Cups some
satisfaction and getting tight ends more involved in the offense
without jeopardizing how often you're trying to establish the run game.
(12:20):
So tell me how Clint Kubiak's going to manage all
of this, Greg.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Well, Ultimately, what it comes down to is Kubiak can
design whatever and call whatever plays he wants.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
And he could say the Cup.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Is the primary on this one, or Horton is where
Barner is, But.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
It's up to the guy who throws the ball and
if he's reading or trusting that this and Jigglin is
my guy on this play, that I have a better
chance of converting this fourth and one by throwing an
eighteen yard out to Smith and Jigba than a two yard.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Out to Barner. Then he's going to.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Throw it there right and will into.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Exactly And the more times the results are positive, which
so far they've been NFL best positive, that reinforces Darnald's
decision in the snap when he's being chased by three
hundred pound guys. He's getting paid to make the right
decision at the right time to throw the ball to
the right place. It doesn't matter what the play call is.
(13:16):
If he thinks that the Smith and jigg was his
best option, he's going there. And there have been times
in the last couple of weeks he's even been going
backside to Smith and Jigger where there's rolled that one
way in the front side play and the reds are
all in front of him, He'll go find Smith and
Jigma back across the field in the backside.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
And because he's leading the league by so many yards
you pointed out out yesterday's like two hundred yards above any.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Jamar Chase or anybody else.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
That shows you that when push comes to shove, Darnald's
gonna throw it to number eleven, and nobody's covering Almo,
so why not. No one's been able to cover him
so far consistently this season, So you're right, that will
be games that teams will just say, forget it. We're
putting two on Smith and and we're gonna leave guys
Scott free wide open, and then then the reads will
(14:03):
be to Cup and to Barner. It's not like cupping Barner.
Especially Barner. It's not like he's been ignored. He had
four touchdown catches in the first five games of the season.
But the preponderance of yes, it's unusual in the NFL.
This is more like a college football deal where the
star receivers getting all the receptions and targets that is unusual.
Does it catch up to him? So far Smith and
(14:26):
jigb is beating all coverage, he's beating shadow coverage, he's
beating Cloud, he's beaten Man, he's beaten zone.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
If it's still working, they'll just say, well, I'm not
gonna throw them because I've been thrown to him too much.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
And it could be a problem if other people are
complaining about it. But no one's complaining about it, are they?
None of the other Seahawk receivers. Nobody's bothered mythed that
Jsn's getting targeted so much.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
No, not that I know even. No one's expressed that.
And it helps that they won five of seven games.
If they were two and five, you might hear something
from Cup or few other guys about what we'd do it.
But no, they're smart enough veteran. If they're five and two,
knuckers say all.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Right, Since we're having kind of a big picture session.
Tyler Lockett got released this week, he did, I would
imagine somebody's going to pick him up, and I would
imagine he's going to make a couple of more big
catches in his career, probably with a playoff caliber team
here down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
But man, I for a self aware as Tyler Lockett
always has been.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I wish that he would have just said, I'm not
going to go play for the Titans if that's my
best offer, what a great career. I'm just going to
retire a Seahawks every snap with the Seahawks. I kind
of wish that he would have had that moment with himself.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
You know, I thought I was really surprised when he
signed with Tennessee. When I was talking to him at
the end of last season on and off the record,
on stuff in print and not, I was pretty convinced
that he's like, you know what, this has been great,
and I thought it was important to him that he
was going to play for his entire career for jess Seattle,
and how rare that is for ten years one team
(16:03):
in them out. It surprised me when he signed. He
deserves You're right, he deserves a team that's going to
go to the playoffs and give him a role. I
don't know if he'll get that, but that's what he deserves.
It's not coming back to Seattle. I can almost assure
you that, not because they don't want to, but just
that doesn't there's no roster fit at the moment. He
(16:24):
would take an injury to one of their frontline guys
for him then even interested. But don't we for him.
He's a man who is well set and has his
priorities in order and to take care of his wife
and his new family and a second career in real
estate and philanthropy back in Tulsa and here in the
Pacific Northwest. Still, he still has a lot of roots here.
(16:45):
He probably will be one of the guys that comes back,
and maybe, if not lives here, comes back a lot.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
But yeah, his priorities.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Are in the right place and he's not going to
play years in a couple more years and years just
to keep playing. It did surprise me though, to answer
a question he was even playing one more year for Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
He should follow Dad's footsteps. I bet you the Chiefs
could use a guy like that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, just retire in Dad's uniform.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
The Chiefs are pretty good about getting a veteranary.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, yeah, I bet you Mahomes could find some use
for him.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
I was gonna say that would be a bad way
to end your.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Career with Patrick Mahomes in a playoff push.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
All right, Greg, Well, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You know exceptionally this time, so we appreciate you being
there for us. Have a great weekend without having to
cover anything, and we'll talk to you again next week.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Yeah, I enjoy the weekend. I know how it would
be to just chuck and jive for a twenty minute segment,
so that.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I thought that was great. I loved that conversation right there.
I love most of them, but that was I thought
that was exceptional. All right, thanks Greg, appreciate that Greg Bell.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Is with us right here on Chugging Buck in the morning.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Anybody that has listened to the show, anybody that's ever
worked work for me, knows I don't need help filling
a twenty minute segment.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, I kind of have a gift for that.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
But I was hoping to have somebody to on today,
and we're gonna have Charles Davis.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But it's nice to have Greg there. I love that conversation.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
We got to talk about some big picture items which
normally we don't get to discuss. So thank you, thank you,
thank you to Greg Bell, our Seahawks Insider. And of
course his segment is brought to you by the family
of Delacato Wines, the Bell Family wine of choice.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
They like to sip the Delacato. Oh yes, well, they
talk about hiking.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What I like to do on with the delocado is
just kind of just oh then just like hold it
on my top a little while.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Swirl h Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I don't do any of that.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Others no, but I imagine them sitting sitting at the table swirling. O,
the bells are swirling.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Next, let's traverse a mountain.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yes, as a family, Let's drink this Delecado and we
shall traverse.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, they're like the Van Traps.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, all right, coming up next, Factor Fiction coming your way,
plus more on the Mariners. A little snapshot each player
by player today of what the outlook for this offseason
might be for each of our Mariners players on Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Actually a pretty fun game.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, I might have to find some time to play
that a little later on.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
I like that Factor Fiction.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Another game we're gonna play A seven thirty five actually
will be the star. She's making the pick here today.
I did promise today that we're gonna just just a
little bit, just a taste of because I know it's
on a lot of Marinder fans' minds, like already the
off season and how this thing is going to shape up,
and so we're just giving you a taste. We got
a lot of time to talk about it over the
(19:53):
course of the winter, and certainly I'm going to try
to deliver that either through the podcast or this show.
But today just a little bit of a taste on
a Friday, and we're gonna try to get through as
many players snapshots as I possibly can.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And right now we're gonna deal with the outfield.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
See that's why we played the song.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
See what actually did there?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
So obviously Julio's locked up. So what are the concerns
about Julio. I'm not as concerned about Julio the clutch
guy in the postseason. There's been a lot of great
players over time that took a long time before they
got clutch and maybe never did. Barry Bonds was not
clutch early in his career. Pretty good player Alex Rodriguez
was not clutching the postseason. Aaron Judge has not won
(20:36):
a World Series, and a lot of Yankee fans say
it's because Aaron Judge doesn't step up in the postseason.
So I'm not as worried about that. You never know
who's gonna show up at the party hot postseason time
and cold or whatever the case may be. Julio did
not come through in the clutch necessarily, but he was
actually really good in the playoffs. I'm more worried about
(20:57):
first half Julio. Man, we got to bring this trend
and I don't know what it's gonna take. I mean,
Kevin Seitzer came on our show and shared his concerns
about it as well. I don't know what it's gonna
take to get him started in the first half playing
the way he does in the second half. If he
could ever put the two seasons together, we have ourselves
a bona fide superstar. Yeah, and he's locked up for
(21:19):
years to come. Randy Rose Arena is a little tricky.
He is arbitration eligible for the final time. He won't
become a free agent until twenty twenty seven. But when
you get to that last year of arbitration and you've
put up either all star numbers or near all star numbers,
it starts getting a little pricey.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
He's going to cost.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Between like sixteen and eighteen million dollars next year. I
would suspect they'll pay that and he'll be our left
fielder next year. But I don't think it's out of
the question. You know, you know how this team operates financially.
Could we move a Rose Arena for a piece and
get out from underneath sixteen eighteen million dollars, especially somebody
(21:55):
who has an expiring contract after this year. I wouldn't
rule out that they might trade Randy or Rose Arena.
I do think there are parts of his game that
frustrate the hell out of the organization, which we won't
get into now, but we certainly can detail those for you.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
At a later date.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Roeblace, how good of a season would he have had
had he not gotten hurt. Sometimes he's a liability out there,
he just is. But there's no doubt he plays his
ass off. He plays so hard, and I think we
can give him a free pass with the injury for
not really being all that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Productive when he came back.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
They've got him locked up through twenty twenty six, just
four and a half million dollars and a club option
for twenty twenty seven. If he reverts to playing like
he did the previous year, he's going to be worth
that club option. But obviously, you know he's somebody that
can start for us in right field. And my guess
is will Dom can Zone's just pre arbitration eligible at
(22:55):
this point, so you got him on the cheap for
years to come.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
And then Luke.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Rayley, who who had a bad year this year, and
I don't know, you know, we talk about these guys
are human. He had a baby back in spring training.
I don't know. Maybe he had a Kalaki baby. Maybe
he was worried about his baby, Maybe he was worried
about his wife all season long. Maybe he was in
the first half and then just never could get going.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't know. But Luke Rayley was terrible this year.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, he was not good, and it was disappointing, very terrible.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And yet you got him back next year at four
point three million dollars. That's a pretty fty price for
a terrible season that you had.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
This past year.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I'm just gonna bank on him being better. Maybe he's
not twenty twenty four Luke, but surely he's not going
to be twenty twenty five Luke for us next year.
So I don't know if there's a lot of room
to add there with that group of outfielders right there,
all of them controlled right now by the Seattle Mariners,
and so I think there's a very good chance that's
your outfield for next year.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Let's play some factor fiction.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 10 (23:54):
Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
thousand bucks and but ten so dollar grand price.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
It's fact door fiction.
Speaker 10 (24:03):
Probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every
day Feels Lucky. Fact Door Fiction is on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
R F M all right, Nashley Spick here on this Friday.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
We got the win last night, maybe got the Mojoe back?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Oh please, please please?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Where are we going?
Speaker 11 (24:24):
We are going to go to college. And I actually
thought about this when I had this. I was debating
between these two games that when I made my pick
on Wednesday, and I thought, well, you know I only
have one. I'm gonna go with the one I feel
a little bit stronger about. And then I who knew
I was gonna have a second chance, And this pick's
still there.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I would have thought Dick Fane would have stolen it,
but he only takes my kill.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Only steals your picks, that is correct, So my pick's
still out there.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Ole Miss.
Speaker 11 (24:46):
I think I think they're mad about how they blew
it last week, and I think they're ready for a
little bit of revenge. They are five point underdogs at Oklahoma,
and I don't think.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Oklahoma's that good. Give me Ole Miss plus the five
at Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I think all of this comes down to whether or
not lane Kiffin can convince his kids, I'm not going anywhere. Yeah,
because we brought this up a couple of times. I
think it's legitimate. I think college kids don't handle it
very well when they find out that their head coach
might be looking elsewhere, and the coach might not be,
(25:22):
but the rumors start, and then the coach has to
put out the fires, not just with one person, the
whole damn roster. And I think it affected Nebraska last week.
I think it affected to a degree you dubbed last week,
and I think that it could affect ole Miss this week.
But if lane Kiffin, who's pretty slick, can convince his team,
even if he is leaving, yeah, if he can convince.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Them I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I got you, then he might be able to rally
them against Oklahoma.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
So they're the better football team. I think that's what
I think too. And I just I think they're not
I don't They're not gonna They're not gonna blow it
this week.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Okay, yeah, all right, so they're getting fun.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I'm getting five, all right, So Ashley's getting going with
the ole Miss Rebels plus five at Oklahoma. If you
agree with that selection, You're gonna go ahead and text
fact to four nine four five one. Fact. If you
disagree with a selection, you're going to text fiction to
four nine four five one. If you're right, we enter
your name into a drawing at the end of the
(26:20):
week for one thousand dollars in cash. And I hate
to be the one to alert you, but it's the
end of the week, so you're running out of chances
to get into that drawing this this week for one
thousand dollars in cash. Of course, the winner of Factor
Fiction is gonna win ten thousand dollars the jackpot of
weights whoever gets the most correct Factor Fiction picks this year.
(26:41):

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Coming up next.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We are just one week away from something enormous. Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJARFM. We're gonna stay in
and you know, make cocktails in the house and then
watch scary movies rather than go to some big party. Yeah.
And she put me in charge of the Halloween movies.
(27:41):
And I took this and Children of the Corn and
I couldn't even defend them. I'm like, these are terrible.
What happened to these movies? I thought they were so
good when I was a kid, Yeah, and so scary.
Speaker 11 (27:53):
They're not see and I didn't like scary movies when
I was a kid, and now yeah, as an adult,
I went and saw Texas Chainsaw ask her when it
came out in the theater and I walked out it
was that terrible Oh really, yeah, like the new one.
I was like, that's just not my that's a waste
of time.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
They're so cheesy, it's so well regarded, though I've never
seen it. I've never seen Texas Chainsaw Master for it
just never did appeal to me.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But a lot of this.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yeah, oh I see, Yeah it was terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think the old one probably is terrible too. But
slasher lovers, you know, it's like a cult thing.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah see, I'm not a slasher movie type.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, I don't like slasher.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
I'll watch Godfather before I watch any slasher films.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I want to give you credits for that.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
But you know, I won't watch godfind No.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But the fact that you have to like be forced
into watching the greatest movie ever made so long bothers
me a little bit.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
Just a long to be honest here, that's all right,
I'm gonna watch Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Galaxy, that one is actually on my list.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You should be just ashamed of. You're just depriving yourself.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
I know, I know, And I want to watch that one.
They're excited for it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Chuck and Ashley with you know, Bucky here today, and man,
I mean we've been so lost in the playoffs and
then juggling how much football can we get into a
show while juggling the Major League Baseball playoffs? And then
I mean it's just been crazy around here. Bucky and
I doing pretty much two shows a day for a
couple of weeks. It's just been crazy and so, yeah,
(29:19):
we've had our fun with Calloween. We haven't spend any
time talking about Halloween. I know we're a week away.
Next Friday is Halloween. I mean, I don't rank it
above Christmas. I don't rank it above Thanksgiving, but man,
I probably rank it a lot closer to those two
than most.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I love me some Halloween.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
Yeah see, and I'm not a big Halloween person. I
never really have been. Palmer loves it, though, and I
love that she loves it. So but I'm like, I
don't really know what our plan is yet because so
much of the plan was dependent.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
On the Mariners.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
Like, are we going to be just saying trigger treating,
handing out candy to each other.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
On the couch while we watch the Maritors. Yeah, it's
like part of the plan. True, And so I think
because if I had.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
A trigger treater come to my door in the middle
of the.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
World series, wouldn't you punch them?
Speaker 7 (30:07):
No?
Speaker 5 (30:07):
I would not, for legal, you'd think about it.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I would not punch a seven year old.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Their parents dressed as Iron Man.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Of course I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 11 (30:17):
No, definitely not. I would lecture their parents on being
better parents.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Right, do you know what's going on?
Speaker 11 (30:25):
You need to take your home, your kid home and
educate them.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But yeah, it's a week away. I mean, I've never
I've never.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Been that great at costumes or I but I love
costume parties.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I mean, I'm a pretty creative person, but I just
can't come up with creative, great costumes. But I love
those that can. And so I'd throw Halloween parties all
the time. And I had a couple of buddies and
they were masters at it. So I don't know, there's
just something about It's also during my favorite season fall,
(30:59):
so that that's part of it.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
You love pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I love pumpkin. Who doesn't love candy I love.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I don't like slasher movies, but I do like horror movies.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I like, you know, the Shining.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
And Scary one. I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, Now that's.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
A phenomenal one, completely different experience, by the way, in
the theater versus watching it at.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Home, watching those twins on the big screen.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, you get a chance to watch it in the theater.
Watch it in the theater.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
But yeah, Psycho and so I do love scary movies.
I just don't like slasher movies. So I mean just
all big wat of it and and so I love it.
And usually we would spend more time. We'd have a
beat Bucky theme, yeah, Halloween game and all sorts of things.
But this is like the first time I'm mentioning Halloween
without joking about Calloween and dumpkins.
Speaker 11 (31:45):
Yeah, and I agree. I haven't really given a ton
of thoughts all Halloween. It has been all Calloween. And
we didn't even discuss Calloween last night and dumpkins because
I had eight girls of my house carving pumpkins. Yeah,
and I was and we were talking about the dumpkins,
and I was saying, how sad I was that I
didn't get to make the world series Dumpkin.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
We were right there, We were right there.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
Was I hadn't allowed myself to come up with the
plan for the Dumpkin yet.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well that's good discipline.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Yeah, but it'll get made one year.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, because usually like this, the the motions will create
the inspiration.
Speaker 11 (32:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had to wait until wait, what
did I see?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
The moment moved you before you start carving into that
precious final masterpiece Dumpkin. So anyway, happy Halloween, every night Halloween.
We do have another week so we can do some
fun things with Halloween. Get creative next week. But yeah,
we're just a week away from it. It's crazy, all right.
Coming up next on our radio program The Oho. We
(32:46):
do it every Friday. We got a lot of stories,
big stories to discuss. It's your eight top stories of
the day right here on Sports Radio ninety three point

It's a one nothing cracking lead.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Chandler Steven sent three on two through center for Seattle.
Here stevensent drops to marshpin Marshmint right certainly in front
Davidson right on goal and Connor Helibut stands tall to
make the save that is empty for Winnipeg. Seattle forced
the puck back to the line. Jane Schwartz picks it up.
He'll walk down the left side. He shives Scars Jaden

(01:30):
don't care what the sport is if you do long
road trips to win that last one, but give credit
to Coach Lambert and the Kracking are sucking it up
on the last night of a lengthy six game East
Coast road trip Northeast Coast road trip by winning yesterday
three to nothing. Joey Decord stopped every shot that came
his way. Jaden Schwartz had a two goals and an assist,
(01:53):
and there were a pair, as you heard from Everett,
of empty netters. Really a tight game throughout, really kind
of a one nothing game.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But the Crack can get.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The two empty netters late and they win it by
a final score of three to nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
They're coming home.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
They'll take on the Edmonton Oilers tomorrow night out at
Climate Pledge Arena. That's where our headlines start brought to
you by Frostbrewed, cors Light Shoes Chill. World Series Game
number one is tonight. The Blue Jays and the Dodgers
doing battle tonight in Toronto. Blake Snell will get the start,
(02:26):
local kid, Blake Snell for the Dodgers, and believe it
or not, Trey you Savage is getting the start in
Game one of the World Series. Not just a rookie,
he didn't even qualify for Rookie of the Year. This
is somebody that had three starts during the regular season
for the Blue Jays and his start and they've had
plenty of rest. Gossman could go and they're starting you
(02:48):
Savage tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Is what a seventh starter, eighth start of the season.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, Yeah, he had three during the regular season, so
he's had more postseason starts in his career then he's
had regular season starts in his career. And he's getting
the game one call tonight. We'll certainly talk more Mariners
later on in the show. Huskies are going to host
Illinois tomorrow at twelve thirty. Pregame starts at eight thirty
with the Hanks Sounders Minnesota United. They'll play Monday to
(03:14):
start the Sounders postseason at six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's a three game series in the first round.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Minnesota Vikings thirty
seven to ten last night, as Justin Herbert dominated the
Vikings bad games. On Sunday, it's a good day to
kind of skip the National Football League if you're gonna
skip it. Husky's Excudney Seahawks are on buy this week,
which meant we were gonna give Greg Bell the day
(03:42):
off rather than talk about the topics we've discussed with
them all week long. But instead, Charles Davis had a
mix up on his flight, so he called Greg and said,
Greg want to hop on?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
And he said, yes, how about it?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Yeah, okay, I'm happy to be your fallback the prom date.
That's just sitting around waiting for the call.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And I honestly I put you on the rundown yesterday.
I always send a show text. I had you on it.
I thought you were doing it, and then I thought
that you couldn't do it because maybe you were going
out of town because you Bells like to travel.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Yeah, my wife's John this time.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Okay, all right, Well for good to have you with us. Thanks, yeah, happy, Happy.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
To be your fallback whenever you stood up.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Our Seahawks insider Greg Bell with us right here on
Chuck and Buck in the morning. So you know where
I want to start with is where we kind of
ended yesterday. And that's the idea that in the future
there won't be just one bye week in the National
Football League that we're all braced or most people should
be braced anyway for a future that includes eighteen regular
(04:53):
season games and two bye weeks. So the NFL season,
I think you and I both agree on this is going.
I want to get longer here very soon, right.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yes, And it would take an exception to the collective
bargaining or going back to the bargaining table for the
players and owners to agree on changing the schedule again.
One of the premises of the last CBA, it was
signed in twenty twenty, it runs through into twenty twenty three,
was the seventeen game season, and we've talked about how
(05:25):
the veterans didn't even want that. But the rank and file,
the majority sixty plus percent of the NFL Players Association
are minimum salary guys, and the owners raised the minimum
salary substantially from four hundred sum to seven forty. I
think it is right there for this year, and so
(05:45):
the sixty plus percent sign me up for that. I'm
going to get a three hundred thousand dollars rais right
off the top coming into the league. And that's why
the CBA got approved, not because it had a seventeen
game season and the veterans those have been around and
didn't care about the minimum salary as much. They didn't
want this. Not to mention Roger Goodell's sweeping authority and
(06:08):
discipline on pretty much anything in the league, pension, drug testing,
there are a bunch of issues that the veteran players
that are the minority of the union didn't want, and
that CBA barely passed, but it passed because of the
minimum salary thing. That's a long way of saying that
the players are not going to easily give up the
(06:29):
eighteenth game. They're going to ask for a higher percentage
of the league's revenues. It's still under fifty percent. I'm
acpecting that the players will last for more closer to
fifty percent of the league's revenues going to the players
in exchange.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
For the eighteenth game.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I think what we're headed to, Chuck, is what the
NFL wants. One they want sixteen international games the year.
They want every single of the thirty two teams to
play in one international game that season. The players hate
that idea. And the second thing is they're going to
move the Super Bowl to the holiday week, the President's
Day holiday weekend in mid February. To your point about
(07:06):
extending the season longer, adding an eighteenth game will help
them get that February fifteen ish Super Bowl Sunday, so
that it will truly be a national holiday where everybody
doesn't have to work the next day on the Monday.
I think that's where it's all headed, but that might
not all happen till the twenty thirty CBA.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Let me ask you about another big picture thing in
the NBA's a scandal right now is forced us to
think about gambling in sports. Do you think the NFL
would use this moment to sort of reassess their relationships
with their gambling partners, not that they would not have
gambling partners and a relationship with them. I mean, it's
a big part of sports. It's a big industry, and
(07:48):
so I know that it's not going to go away.
But these daily prop bets, I mean there are bets
greg that you can make out there on how many
drops a wide receiver will have during the course of
a game. I mean, how on earth is the NFL,
the NBA, Major League Baseball supposed to monitor every individual
(08:08):
bet and whether or not a drop by a receiver
in Week.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Sixteen and a game between.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Tampa and Atlanta might actually have been motivated by gambling.
Is this an opportunity for the National Football League behind
the scenes to kind of assess how they want to
have their daily prop bet company relationships and maybe try
to scale that down a little bit going forward.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Yes, it's an opportunity. But another question, the second, a
different question, is will they do it. If the answer
is no, they won't because the money it is coming
in the interest How half the TV ratings now are
because of fantasy football and betting. There are casual fans
who don't even know who the starting quarterback from some
teams are who are watching games because of those two factors.
(09:00):
Is fantasy football em betting and advertisers know it, and
they pay a premium for especially primetime games because of that.
And that's not going away. You're right, but we lived
a long time without that. But the effort of owners
in the league to maximize and squeeze profits out of
(09:20):
every single corner they can, they went to this, and
once it became more legal across the country, it became
a lot easier for the NFL to accept this.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
They should do it, but they won't.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
What's even worse, Chuck, is if you go those same
prop bets exist in college football, and how corrupt and
wrong is that that a high school This is less
so than it was even five years ago because of nil,
But how easily swayed could a college kid who used
to just eat pizzas and barely get by because he
(09:53):
wasn't allowed to have income outside of scholarship. This is
dating myself about five years. But those guys are more
and much more influenced and potentially swayed to drop a
pass or any other prop that you have on college
freshmen at Central Florida or something. It's pervasive. It's so
pervasive in our society that it's not pervasive in our sports.
(10:16):
And this won't be the last this, Terry Roseier, this.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Won't be the last.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And I told you yesterday the NFL is so good
at so many things of influence and exerting influence and
covering their tracks. It wouldn't surprise us the supposition. It
wouldn't surprise me if this has happened in the league already.
We don't know about it yet and the FBI hasn't
gotten to it yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if
(10:45):
that's on their next frontier, and it's threatens the integrity
of what we watch, of what we are so big,
the huge fans of of what we cover. I don't
walk into a locker room wondering if somebody dropped it
pass on purpose of the game, right, But the specter
is now out there, and that is what has been
(11:07):
created by these leagues.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Lack of a bug.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Buddy Gary Washburn of the Club broke yesterday for being
in bed with betting companies, because that's exactly what's.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Going on our six inside of Greg Bell as with
as you can follow them at g Bell Seattle, of course,
and Thenewstribune dot com for complete Seahawks coverage. It is
bye week for the Seahawks, so it allows us here
on a Friday, talk about some big picture items and
one topic that just kept coming up this week, came
up on the roundtable.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I get it. I know you get it as well.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
When Hugh says, man for the greater interest of the offense,
you got to get more people involved than Jackson Smith
and Jigba. The difference between targets to him and everybody
else is just out of whack. And yet, how do
you restrict something that is working so effectively. I want
to get Jackson Smith and Jigba the ball as many
(11:58):
times as possible. So how do this Yawks not curtail
what JSN is doing to defensive secondaries in the league
while getting Tory Horton some development and Cooper Cups some
satisfaction and getting tight ends more involved in the offense
without jeopardizing how often you're trying to establish the run game.
(12:20):
So tell me how Clint Kubiak's going to manage all
of this, Greg.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Well, Ultimately, what it comes down to is Kubiak can
design whatever and call whatever plays he wants.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
And he could say the Cup.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Is the primary on this one, or Horton is where
Barner is, But.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
It's up to the guy who throws the ball and
if he's reading or trusting that this and Jigglin is
my guy on this play, that I have a better
chance of converting this fourth and one by throwing an
eighteen yard out to Smith and Jigba than a two yard.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Out to Barner. Then he's going to.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Throw it there right and will into.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Exactly And the more times the results are positive, which
so far they've been NFL best positive, that reinforces Darnald's
decision in the snap when he's being chased by three
hundred pound guys. He's getting paid to make the right
decision at the right time to throw the ball to
the right place. It doesn't matter what the play call is.
(13:16):
If he thinks that the Smith and jigg was his
best option, he's going there. And there have been times
in the last couple of weeks he's even been going
backside to Smith and Jigger where there's rolled that one
way in the front side play and the reds are
all in front of him, He'll go find Smith and
Jigma back across the field in the backside.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
And because he's leading the league by so many yards
you pointed out out yesterday's like two hundred yards above any.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Jamar Chase or anybody else.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
That shows you that when push comes to shove, Darnald's
gonna throw it to number eleven, and nobody's covering Almo,
so why not. No one's been able to cover him
so far consistently this season, So you're right, that will
be games that teams will just say, forget it. We're
putting two on Smith and and we're gonna leave guys
Scott free wide open, and then then the reads will
(14:03):
be to Cup and to Barner. It's not like cupping Barner.
Especially Barner. It's not like he's been ignored. He had
four touchdown catches in the first five games of the season.
But the preponderance of yes, it's unusual in the NFL.
This is more like a college football deal where the
star receivers getting all the receptions and targets that is unusual.
Does it catch up to him? So far Smith and
(14:26):
jigb is beating all coverage, he's beating shadow coverage, he's
beating Cloud, he's beaten Man, he's beaten zone.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
If it's still working, they'll just say, well, I'm not
gonna throw them because I've been thrown to him too much.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
And it could be a problem if other people are
complaining about it. But no one's complaining about it, are they?
None of the other Seahawk receivers. Nobody's bothered mythed that
Jsn's getting targeted so much.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
No, not that I know even. No one's expressed that.
And it helps that they won five of seven games.
If they were two and five, you might hear something
from Cup or few other guys about what we'd do it.
But no, they're smart enough veteran. If they're five and two,
knuckers say all.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Right, Since we're having kind of a big picture session.
Tyler Lockett got released this week, he did, I would
imagine somebody's going to pick him up, and I would
imagine he's going to make a couple of more big
catches in his career, probably with a playoff caliber team
here down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
But man, I for a self aware as Tyler Lockett
always has been.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I wish that he would have just said, I'm not
going to go play for the Titans if that's my
best offer, what a great career. I'm just going to
retire a Seahawks every snap with the Seahawks. I kind
of wish that he would have had that moment with himself.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
You know, I thought I was really surprised when he
signed with Tennessee. When I was talking to him at
the end of last season on and off the record,
on stuff in print and not, I was pretty convinced
that he's like, you know what, this has been great,
and I thought it was important to him that he
was going to play for his entire career for jess Seattle,
and how rare that is for ten years one team
(16:03):
in them out. It surprised me when he signed. He
deserves You're right, he deserves a team that's going to
go to the playoffs and give him a role. I
don't know if he'll get that, but that's what he deserves.
It's not coming back to Seattle. I can almost assure
you that, not because they don't want to, but just
that doesn't there's no roster fit at the moment. He
(16:24):
would take an injury to one of their frontline guys
for him then even interested. But don't we for him.
He's a man who is well set and has his
priorities in order and to take care of his wife
and his new family and a second career in real
estate and philanthropy back in Tulsa and here in the
Pacific Northwest. Still, he still has a lot of roots here.
(16:45):
He probably will be one of the guys that comes back,
and maybe, if not lives here, comes back a lot.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
But yeah, his priorities.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Are in the right place and he's not going to
play years in a couple more years and years just
to keep playing. It did surprise me though, to answer
a question he was even playing one more year for Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
He should follow Dad's footsteps. I bet you the Chiefs
could use a guy like that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, just retire in Dad's uniform.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
The Chiefs are pretty good about getting a veteranary.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, yeah, I bet you Mahomes could find some use
for him.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
I was gonna say that would be a bad way
to end your.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Career with Patrick Mahomes in a playoff push.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
All right, Greg, Well, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You know exceptionally this time, so we appreciate you being
there for us. Have a great weekend without having to
cover anything, and we'll talk to you again next week.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Yeah, I enjoy the weekend. I know how it would
be to just chuck and jive for a twenty minute segment,
so that.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I thought that was great. I loved that conversation right there.
I love most of them, but that was I thought
that was exceptional. All right, thanks Greg, appreciate that Greg Bell.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Is with us right here on Chugging Buck in the morning.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Anybody that has listened to the show, anybody that's ever
worked work for me, knows I don't need help filling
a twenty minute segment.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, I kind of have a gift for that.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
But I was hoping to have somebody to on today,
and we're gonna have Charles Davis.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But it's nice to have Greg there. I love that conversation.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
We got to talk about some big picture items which
normally we don't get to discuss. So thank you, thank you,
thank you to Greg Bell, our Seahawks Insider. And of
course his segment is brought to you by the family
of Delacato Wines, the Bell Family wine of choice.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
They like to sip the Delacato. Oh yes, well, they
talk about hiking.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What I like to do on with the delocado is
just kind of just oh then just like hold it
on my top a little while.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Swirl h Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I don't do any of that.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Others no, but I imagine them sitting sitting at the table swirling. O,
the bells are swirling.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Next, let's traverse a mountain.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yes, as a family, Let's drink this Delecado and we
shall traverse.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, they're like the Van Traps.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, all right, coming up next, Factor Fiction coming your way,
plus more on the Mariners. A little snapshot each player
by player today of what the outlook for this offseason
might be for each of our Mariners players on Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Actually a pretty fun game.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, I might have to find some time to play
that a little later on.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
I like that Factor Fiction.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Another game we're gonna play A seven thirty five actually
will be the star. She's making the pick here today.
I did promise today that we're gonna just just a
little bit, just a taste of because I know it's
on a lot of Marinder fans' minds, like already the
off season and how this thing is going to shape up,
and so we're just giving you a taste. We got
a lot of time to talk about it over the
(19:53):
course of the winter, and certainly I'm going to try
to deliver that either through the podcast or this show.
But today just a little bit of a taste on
a Friday, and we're gonna try to get through as
many players snapshots as I possibly can.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And right now we're gonna deal with the outfield.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
See that's why we played the song.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
See what actually did there?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
So obviously Julio's locked up. So what are the concerns
about Julio. I'm not as concerned about Julio the clutch
guy in the postseason. There's been a lot of great
players over time that took a long time before they
got clutch and maybe never did. Barry Bonds was not
clutch early in his career. Pretty good player Alex Rodriguez
was not clutching the postseason. Aaron Judge has not won
(20:36):
a World Series, and a lot of Yankee fans say
it's because Aaron Judge doesn't step up in the postseason.
So I'm not as worried about that. You never know
who's gonna show up at the party hot postseason time
and cold or whatever the case may be. Julio did
not come through in the clutch necessarily, but he was
actually really good in the playoffs. I'm more worried about
(20:57):
first half Julio. Man, we got to bring this trend
and I don't know what it's gonna take. I mean,
Kevin Seitzer came on our show and shared his concerns
about it as well. I don't know what it's gonna
take to get him started in the first half playing
the way he does in the second half. If he
could ever put the two seasons together, we have ourselves
a bona fide superstar. Yeah, and he's locked up for
(21:19):
years to come. Randy Rose Arena is a little tricky.
He is arbitration eligible for the final time. He won't
become a free agent until twenty twenty seven. But when
you get to that last year of arbitration and you've
put up either all star numbers or near all star numbers,
it starts getting a little pricey.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
He's going to cost.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Between like sixteen and eighteen million dollars next year. I
would suspect they'll pay that and he'll be our left
fielder next year. But I don't think it's out of
the question. You know, you know how this team operates financially.
Could we move a Rose Arena for a piece and
get out from underneath sixteen eighteen million dollars, especially somebody
(21:55):
who has an expiring contract after this year. I wouldn't
rule out that they might trade Randy or Rose Arena.
I do think there are parts of his game that
frustrate the hell out of the organization, which we won't
get into now, but we certainly can detail those for you.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
At a later date.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Roeblace, how good of a season would he have had
had he not gotten hurt. Sometimes he's a liability out there,
he just is. But there's no doubt he plays his
ass off. He plays so hard, and I think we
can give him a free pass with the injury for
not really being all that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Productive when he came back.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
They've got him locked up through twenty twenty six, just
four and a half million dollars and a club option
for twenty twenty seven. If he reverts to playing like
he did the previous year, he's going to be worth
that club option. But obviously, you know he's somebody that
can start for us in right field. And my guess
is will Dom can Zone's just pre arbitration eligible at
(22:55):
this point, so you got him on the cheap for
years to come.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
And then Luke.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Rayley, who who had a bad year this year, and
I don't know, you know, we talk about these guys
are human. He had a baby back in spring training.
I don't know. Maybe he had a Kalaki baby. Maybe
he was worried about his baby, Maybe he was worried
about his wife all season long. Maybe he was in
the first half and then just never could get going.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't know. But Luke Rayley was terrible this year.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, he was not good, and it was disappointing, very terrible.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And yet you got him back next year at four
point three million dollars. That's a pretty fty price for
a terrible season that you had.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
This past year.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I'm just gonna bank on him being better. Maybe he's
not twenty twenty four Luke, but surely he's not going
to be twenty twenty five Luke for us next year.
So I don't know if there's a lot of room
to add there with that group of outfielders right there,
all of them controlled right now by the Seattle Mariners,
and so I think there's a very good chance that's
your outfield for next year.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Let's play some factor fiction.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 10 (23:54):
Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
thousand bucks and but ten so dollar grand price.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
It's fact door fiction.
Speaker 10 (24:03):
Probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every
day Feels Lucky. Fact Door Fiction is on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
R F M all right, Nashley Spick here on this Friday.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
We got the win last night, maybe got the Mojoe back?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Oh please, please please?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Where are we going?
Speaker 11 (24:24):
We are going to go to college. And I actually
thought about this when I had this. I was debating
between these two games that when I made my pick
on Wednesday, and I thought, well, you know I only
have one. I'm gonna go with the one I feel
a little bit stronger about. And then I who knew
I was gonna have a second chance, And this pick's
still there.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I would have thought Dick Fane would have stolen it,
but he only takes my kill.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Only steals your picks, that is correct, So my pick's
still out there.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Ole Miss.
Speaker 11 (24:46):
I think I think they're mad about how they blew
it last week, and I think they're ready for a
little bit of revenge. They are five point underdogs at Oklahoma,
and I don't think.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Oklahoma's that good. Give me Ole Miss plus the five
at Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I think all of this comes down to whether or
not lane Kiffin can convince his kids, I'm not going anywhere. Yeah,
because we brought this up a couple of times. I
think it's legitimate. I think college kids don't handle it
very well when they find out that their head coach
might be looking elsewhere, and the coach might not be,
(25:22):
but the rumors start, and then the coach has to
put out the fires, not just with one person, the
whole damn roster. And I think it affected Nebraska last week.
I think it affected to a degree you dubbed last week,
and I think that it could affect ole Miss this week.
But if lane Kiffin, who's pretty slick, can convince his team,
even if he is leaving, yeah, if he can convince.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Them I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I got you, then he might be able to rally
them against Oklahoma.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
So they're the better football team. I think that's what
I think too. And I just I think they're not
I don't They're not gonna They're not gonna blow it
this week.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Okay, yeah, all right, so they're getting fun.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I'm getting five, all right, So Ashley's getting going with
the ole Miss Rebels plus five at Oklahoma. If you
agree with that selection, You're gonna go ahead and text
fact to four nine four five one. Fact. If you
disagree with a selection, you're going to text fiction to
four nine four five one. If you're right, we enter
your name into a drawing at the end of the
(26:20):
week for one thousand dollars in cash. And I hate
to be the one to alert you, but it's the
end of the week, so you're running out of chances
to get into that drawing this this week for one
thousand dollars in cash. Of course, the winner of Factor
Fiction is gonna win ten thousand dollars the jackpot of
weights whoever gets the most correct Factor Fiction picks this year.
(26:41):
So play whenever you can, play every time if you can,
and if you are just joining us, hey get started.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Win the thousand.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Dollars for goodness sake, and then by next year you'll
be a season pro and you'll win the whole damn thing.
That's right, all right, So it's all brought to you
by our friends at Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. They
are going twenty four at Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
back to twenty four hour gaming every Friday and Saturday
starting November seventh. That's just a couple weeks away. Slots
(27:14):
and jackpots all night long. Details at Luckyeagle dot com.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Coming up next.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We are just one week away from something enormous. Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJARFM. We're gonna stay in
and you know, make cocktails in the house and then
watch scary movies rather than go to some big party. Yeah.
And she put me in charge of the Halloween movies.
(27:41):
And I took this and Children of the Corn and
I couldn't even defend them. I'm like, these are terrible.
What happened to these movies? I thought they were so
good when I was a kid, Yeah, and so scary.
Speaker 11 (27:53):
They're not see and I didn't like scary movies when
I was a kid, and now yeah, as an adult,
I went and saw Texas Chainsaw ask her when it
came out in the theater and I walked out it
was that terrible Oh really, yeah, like the new one.
I was like, that's just not my that's a waste
of time.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
They're so cheesy, it's so well regarded, though I've never
seen it. I've never seen Texas Chainsaw Master for it
just never did appeal to me.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But a lot of this.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yeah, oh I see, Yeah it was terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think the old one probably is terrible too. But
slasher lovers, you know, it's like a cult thing.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah see, I'm not a slasher movie type.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, I don't like slasher.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
I'll watch Godfather before I watch any slasher films.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I want to give you credits for that.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
But you know, I won't watch godfind No.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But the fact that you have to like be forced
into watching the greatest movie ever made so long bothers
me a little bit.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
Just a long to be honest here, that's all right,
I'm gonna watch Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Galaxy, that one is actually on my list.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You should be just ashamed of. You're just depriving yourself.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
I know, I know, And I want to watch that one.
They're excited for it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Chuck and Ashley with you know, Bucky here today, and man,
I mean we've been so lost in the playoffs and
then juggling how much football can we get into a
show while juggling the Major League Baseball playoffs? And then
I mean it's just been crazy around here. Bucky and
I doing pretty much two shows a day for a
couple of weeks. It's just been crazy and so, yeah,
(29:19):
we've had our fun with Calloween. We haven't spend any
time talking about Halloween. I know we're a week away.
Next Friday is Halloween. I mean, I don't rank it
above Christmas. I don't rank it above Thanksgiving, but man,
I probably rank it a lot closer to those two
than most.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I love me some Halloween.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
Yeah see, and I'm not a big Halloween person. I
never really have been. Palmer loves it, though, and I
love that she loves it. So but I'm like, I
don't really know what our plan is yet because so
much of the plan was dependent.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
On the Mariners.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
Like, are we going to be just saying trigger treating,
handing out candy to each other.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
On the couch while we watch the Maritors. Yeah, it's
like part of the plan. True, And so I think
because if I had.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
A trigger treater come to my door in the middle
of the.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
World series, wouldn't you punch them?
Speaker 7 (30:07):
No?
Speaker 5 (30:07):
I would not, for legal, you'd think about it.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I would not punch a seven year old.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Their parents dressed as Iron Man.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Of course I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 11 (30:17):
No, definitely not. I would lecture their parents on being
better parents.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Right, do you know what's going on?
Speaker 11 (30:25):
You need to take your home, your kid home and
educate them.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But yeah, it's a week away. I mean, I've never
I've never.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Been that great at costumes or I but I love
costume parties.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I mean, I'm a pretty creative person, but I just
can't come up with creative, great costumes. But I love
those that can. And so I'd throw Halloween parties all
the time. And I had a couple of buddies and
they were masters at it. So I don't know, there's
just something about It's also during my favorite season fall,
(30:59):
so that that's part of it.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
You love pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I love pumpkin. Who doesn't love candy I love.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I don't like slasher movies, but I do like horror movies.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I like, you know, the Shining.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
And Scary one. I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, Now that's.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
A phenomenal one, completely different experience, by the way, in
the theater versus watching it at.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Home, watching those twins on the big screen.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, you get a chance to watch it in the theater.
Watch it in the theater.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
But yeah, Psycho and so I do love scary movies.
I just don't like slasher movies. So I mean just
all big wat of it and and so I love it.
And usually we would spend more time. We'd have a
beat Bucky theme, yeah, Halloween game and all sorts of things.
But this is like the first time I'm mentioning Halloween
without joking about Calloween and dumpkins.
Speaker 11 (31:45):
Yeah, and I agree. I haven't really given a ton
of thoughts all Halloween. It has been all Calloween. And
we didn't even discuss Calloween last night and dumpkins because
I had eight girls of my house carving pumpkins. Yeah,
and I was and we were talking about the dumpkins,
and I was saying, how sad I was that I
didn't get to make the world series Dumpkin.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
We were right there, We were right there.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
Was I hadn't allowed myself to come up with the
plan for the Dumpkin yet.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well that's good discipline.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Yeah, but it'll get made one year.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, because usually like this, the the motions will create
the inspiration.
Speaker 11 (32:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had to wait until wait, what
did I see?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
The moment moved you before you start carving into that
precious final masterpiece Dumpkin. So anyway, happy Halloween, every night Halloween.
We do have another week so we can do some
fun things with Halloween. Get creative next week. But yeah,
we're just a week away from it. It's crazy, all right.
Coming up next on our radio program The Oho. We
(32:46):
do it every Friday. We got a lot of stories,
big stories to discuss. It's your eight top stories of
the day right here on Sports Radio ninety three point
three KHRFM.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
