action never stopped.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Good Monday morning, Welcome into the radio show.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
It is Checking Back in the Morning Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ R f M.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Great to have you with us.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Enjoyed some of
that amazing fall weather over Saturday and Sunday, and of
course all sorts of sports activity, my goodness, too much
to keep up with.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But of course here on a Monday we talked football.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
We talk a lot of football here on a Monday,
and we will certainly be doing that here this evening, bugget,
was your weekend everything you hoped it would be. Did
you put some palm trees out in your landscape just
so you felt like you were in Hawaiian?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I didn't go that far. No. It started off absolutely
wonderfully with the Comedy Show on Friday, and I and
five Iron and a couple of my buddies. We had
a good time that.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Dustin and uh is it Lochmanlan Lochland, one of the
other comics, came up and hung out outwards in the
suite for a little while. That was awesome. I ended
up staying up way later than even I am used to,
oh Friday night, so Saturday was a bit of a
recovery day.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And then you follow that with which was fine. I
was gonna watch football and relax and not do a
whole heck of a lot anyway. But then Sunday a
lot of stuff to watch on Sunday as well. So
I did a lot of laying around at the point
where now like my body's like seizing up from not moving.
Oh like I can hardly turn my neck towards you.
But I'm not complaining. It was a very relaxing I
mean there was timesaxing. I got hurt laying around. Yeah,
(02:52):
basically that's you know, you're getting old.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
It happens.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
Yeah, yeah, it's happened to me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's not a good feeling. My body hurts today and
it's like, why, well, you didn't do anything good for
your body over the weekend. I did order those Frankies
pizzas I was speaking about on my way home on Friday,
uh and polished off the end of them last night.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Oh yeah, so I did.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, I did finish strong.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I did.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I did nothing good for my body this weekend. But
I had a good time doing it. I had a
great time actually to do that.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah yeah, Ashley, everything good with you?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
I did not have the relaxing weekend Bucky had. It
was very busy, but it was good.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Okay, all right, what did you squeeze in that was
so busy? Well?
Speaker 8 (03:33):
The comedy show Friday. I went to a show at
the Paramount with my friend Lauren. On Saturday's dinner and
a show on Saturday. On top of Seahawks Sunday, I
didn't go to the Seahawks gy No. I played golf
in the morning. Then I watched the game with some friends.
Then I went to my mom's house and made dinner
and then came home.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah, busy, that's busy. Actually doesn't even feel rested. You
feel too rested. She doesn't feel rested at all.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think maybe I'm right there in between. Yah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
So yes, and I will be the one that gets
kicked out of the house eventually. It is chucking Buck
in the mornings here on this Monday. Welcome into the
radio show. It is a frost brewed Corse like Choose
Chill Monday, counting you down to Monday Night football tonight
at five point fifteen pm. Just in case you didn't
get enough football in your life this weekend. I certainly
(04:22):
got a lot of that, and we certainly got treated
to yet another impressive Seahawks victory. They destroyed the Arizona
Cardinals yesterday by a final score of forty four to
twenty two. But that does not even tell the story.
They were up twenty one to nothing after the first quarter.
They were up thirty five to nothing with eight and
(04:43):
a half minutes left in the first half. I'm not
sure there have been too many NFL games where a
team went into fourth quarter kill the clock mode with
eight and a half minutes to go in the first
half of play. Yes, a few careless mistakes created a
little bit of a hey.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Guys, let's not blow this.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
That would be really embarrassing moment in the third quarter,
But for the most part, I mean, forty six runs
to twelve passes. When's the last time you saw a
four to one run to pass ratio in an NFL game.
That's how That's how set The Seahawks were halfway through
(05:28):
the second quarter, where Mike McDonald's just like, let's just
run the ball and kill some clock, and it knew
a very good job of it. That game felt like
it lasted forever. Same with the other two games that
were going on in the afternoon yesterday. They were all
very high scoring, but that was a butt whooping and
for six quarters. I'm not sure an NFL team's going
(05:51):
to look better than what the Seahawks did for their
last game and the first two quarters of yesterday's game.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
That's about as well.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
That's about as dominant as you can be in the
National Football League.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, well, there's not very many times that you're gonna
look at a score where you double somebody up forty
four to twenty two and go, yeah, it was as
close as the score indicates. Usually that's when it's like, oh,
they won by seven, but they really should have beat
them by seventeen. I mean, that's it's something else to
whoop somebody that bad. And yet it was actually worse
than that because I mean the way they came out
(06:22):
that first drive was I mean impeccable, and Jackson Smith
and jig but just continues to shine, and so does
Sam Darnold for that matter, the guy giving the ball
to him. But yeah, then the defense stepping up the
way they did and putting the pressure on Brissett and
forcing those fumbles. I mean, to be up thirty five
zip with I mean, you're not even a full quarter
(06:43):
and a half into the game. You're right, it doesn't
It just doesn't happen. You just don't see it happen
like that very often. So I mean, kudos to them,
they're clicking right now. And you're right, it did look
like the third quarter like okay, you're not going to
I mean, I don't think anybody really ever had thought
of don't let this. I guess it wasn't like you're
going to let this slip away. But it kind of
(07:05):
got to like, okay, you can stop doing that now
so that we don't have the feeling of don't you
dare right. It was kind of that like, okay, you
got to stop doing that.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Even lost your mind, Yeah you can't, No, let's not
do this.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
But I was never worried that they were going to lose,
but there was was this element of like, don't even
let them back then this game that's embarrassing in and
out of itself.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
And they didn't. Yeah they didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They didn't. They figured out a way, and yet it
was you're you're right. I think to some degree. How
many times do you see it where a team you
know they'll be up ten, like I said, and they
just kind of go into this PreventT and it sometimes
prevents them from actually finishing the job and winning the
ball game. It's not very often that you play two
and a half quarters of prevent, you know, not prevent necessarily. Really,
(07:51):
it was kind of they we're okay with you throwing
the ball to you know, Trey McBride and nine times
and him catching it and getting the first down, and
then they and then when they get down in the
red zone and they kind of have to go for
it on fourth down. They have to score touchdowns. They're
not going to catch up by trying to kick field goals,
and then the defense would bow up and stop them.
(08:12):
And so they did a lot of good things. And obviously,
anytime you're in a game where you kind of take
your foot off the gas, then there's gonna be mistakes
and and those are things that you look at and
you're like, hey, we got to clean that up a
little bit. And I'm sure a lot of players, like coach,
we all know, we were just trying to get that
thing to triple zeros at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I just didn't like that Sam Darnold got sacked one time.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
One time.
Speaker 8 (08:35):
Yeah, come on, man, come on, guys.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Come on protect Sam. Yeah, he's just trying to melt
the clock away. That's all he had. He did.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
He was the most careless of all of them.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
I mean, I know that the fumbled snap was not
his fault, or at least it didn't look like it
to me. Maybe he will tell us differently later on,
but he had three turnovers. He was probably the one
that you would accuse of being a little bit careless.
But you know, you know, though, when you are going well,
because obviously the offense is going well. I think we
(09:10):
have two top five MVP candidates on this team, I
think Donald and JSN And of course they're being overlooked
at this stage in the process. But that's how well
your offense is going that you might have two top
five candidates for MVP in the National Football League. That
and yet our defense is the strength of the team.
So you know it's going well there. But you know
(09:32):
when you're really going well in football is when on
every single special team's kick return you get a big hit. Yeah,
notice that, like everything was clicking, like we the team
is so fired up, so singularly focused, so locked in,
so playing their a game. Every return that the Cardinals
(09:52):
had kick or punt, they got popped in the mouth
by a different guy, you know, with his hair on fire,
screaming down the sidelines that's when you know your click
when when you get a big hit on seemingly every
single kick return.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
That's where the Seahawks are right now.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun to watch them yesterday.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
I mean, especially just again, that first quarter and a
half felt like it was a full game's worth of
scoring and fun. It was like you'd gotten cliff notes
of a game and somebody had just taken the whole
thing and compacted in one and a half quarters and
in reality that was just real time, which was crazy.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
And then talking about crazy, when have you ever seen
that instant replay of a sacked quarterback forced fumble by
the same dude gets picked up by the other same
dude and returned for a touchdown.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I mean, I don't know if that's ever happened.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
I mean, I don't have all that information in front
of me, and I'm scared of AI.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Right, yeah, don't ask.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, so, but when.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Have you ever seen in a game that the opposing
quarterback gets sacked by the same guy in the same fashion,
causing the same result, and the ball pops into the
same arms of the teammate that you know takes it
into the end zone for the same result. I mean,
you want to talk about lightning striking the Cardinals twice yesterday?
(11:13):
As if the game wasn't bad enough. Jacoby Brissett ended
up getting struck by lightning two times in the game yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, he probably was laying there the second time. I
was that just dejevu?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Was that? That was DejaVu? Right?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Nop?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh? Wow? That was that actually happened? Again?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
What a day I'm having.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
One of my friends was like, was the replay like
all of a sudden, randomly in the middle of the game.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Did they just do a replay? What happened?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The good thing for linebacker with two plays like that?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, By the way, the good thing is I've never
had DejaVu twice, Like, I mean, the same thing twice.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Where you I think you've said that to me before.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Ye see, I've had it happen once. We're like, I'm
pretty sure I've seen that before, but never have I
been like I just saw it again, Like, how did
that just happen? And yet that is the way that it.
I mean it, You're right, it's interesting to see how
I mean, A good buddy of mine was up watching
the game and he put some posts out yesterday and
another friend of mine said, you might be watching the
(12:12):
best team in the league right now, and I think that,
you know, there was talk about that after last week's game.
I don't think this week did anything to slow the
role of that troll. You know, it's anything. I think
that it's you can see teams. I mean, it's not easy.
Mike McDonald said after the game. You know, no wins
in the NFL are easy. Now that one looked easy.
(12:33):
It started out in a way, in a fashion like
you said, where it's touchdowns and scoop and scores, and
next thing you know, you're up thirty five halfway through
the second quarter, where okay, this is a pretty easy victory,
and yet you still have more game to play and
hopefully keep guys from getting hurt. But to me, yeah,
you're now looking at two games and it really sitting
at seven to two. You're on top of a division
(12:54):
where there's a couple other teams with six wins and
and and yet you find yourself. You find yourself I think,
getting some of the credit that you deserve at this
point because the offense is the thing that has been
kind of this eye opening eye popping situation, how well
Sam Darnold's playing and Jackson Smith and Jigman even without
the run game clicking on all cylinders prior Toy yesterday,
(13:17):
it still has been pretty amazing how much this offensive scored.
And yet you still know, like and our defense is
really what's the best part of this team. It is
a scary situation. I don't think anybody's overlooking the Hawks
now well.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
And the fact that we also got the answer because
everybody after they traded for Rashid Shaheed was like, Okay,
Cooper Cup has to be more injured than we know
than we're being told.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well, clearly he's not.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Yeah, they just really wanted to out another offensive weapon
and good for him.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Sixty seven yard Horton didn't play though, sixty seven yard
catch for a Cooper Cup in the game. It's like everybody,
everybody had a little bit of a hand in it.
Yesterday a forty four to twenty two win. And yeah,
I think Bucky's right. I think last week, I think
there were a lot of people that have platforms nationally
(14:02):
even locally, because you know, I think we even as
underestimated the full potential of this team. Yeah, that we're like,
oh boy, have we been sleeping on the Seahawks, And
the answer was yes, national guys. And then today, I
mean they were already shot to number one in the
Power rankings. I don't know, you can't get higher number one.
(14:24):
But there was nothing that they did yesterday that's going
to take the shine off of the way they're playing
right now.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Now.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Of course, this is also a league in which you're
on top one day or at the bottom the next day,
and you never want to peak in November, and that's
the that's the last thing that you want to do.
So hopefully we're not talking about a team that's just
crowning at this point. But six for six quarters, I
don't think anybody and all season long, is going to
(14:52):
play better than what the Seahawks did for the Commander's
game and then the first half of the Cardinals game yesterday,
because that was total dominance and we're not supposed to
see dominance to that extent. I mean, my goodness, the
Buffalo Bills lost by seventeen points to the Miami Dolphins
a week after they beat the Chiefs. Yeah, so, I mean,
(15:12):
it's just not a sport, it's not a league that
you're supposed to display that level of dominance, and yet
that's where we are with the local professional football team.
It's exciting, there's no question about it. And we're gonna
break it down for you here for four hours today.
Let's find out what is on tape?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
What's on tip? What's on tap?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
All right?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Forty four to twenty two Seahawks over the Arizona Cardinals.
Greg Bell will stop by at seven oh five today
to give us some injury information. JSN got a little
banged up yesterday and still almost had over one hundred
yards and he would have if you would have thrown
the ball more than twelve times five catches ninety three
yards to his campaign as world's best wide receiver continues
(15:58):
this season. Still get an update from Greg on what's
going on there, and of course we can already kind
of start talking about next week. I mean, I know
we don't normally jump to that until Wednesday, but this
isn't your typical game. This might be the game of
the year right here. Seahawks rams this week. Rams were
(16:18):
just as impressive yesterday against the forty nine ers as
what the Seahawks were against the Cardinals. Matthew Stafford is
playing better football than he's ever played. What a matchup
we are going to have in Los Angeles this Sunday
at one o'clock two seven and two teams first place
on the line here in the NFC West, and so
(16:38):
that's going to be thrilling, And so we'll start that
conversation a little bit today.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
It was a week of.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Upsets in the National Football League. The dregs of the
league actually showed up this week in the NFL. We'll
cover it all in Cold Turkey Sandwich, which is coming
your way at six thirty. College football, You Dubb couldn't
have played worse against Wisconsin. I know there was leat
and snow and slush and everything else.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They were playing poorly before that.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yep, you're right, they just I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
I mean, we'll talk more about a little bit later on,
but I don't think I've ever seen a quarterback as
talented as he is who has a less sense of
where the pass rush is coming from than Demon Williams Junior.
So maybe we'll talk about that a little bit later
on in the show at seven point thirty. But any
thought of you Dub making it to the playoffs ended
in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, they lost thirteen to ten.
(17:31):
Other college football news, undefeated BYU fell to Texas Tech,
and that will cause a bit of a shake up
tomorrow when they announced the latest college Football Playoff rankings.
The way I see it, there'll be three new teams
in the College Football Playoff rankings as Memphis will be out,
DYU will be out, and Virginia will be out. My
guess is you'll see Texas James Madison, believe it or not,
(17:57):
and then Georgia Tech will jump into the rankings tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
But we'll find out tomorrow night.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
You dub hoops started off too to zero, but really
faced their first quality opponent last night taking on Baylor,
and Baylor won seventy eight to sixty nine. But I've
been encouraging to hang with one of the better programs
in all of college basketball and lose by nine. At
one point I think they were down to within five,
I think with about five minutes to go in the game.
(18:23):
So pretty good effort to put forth by the Fighting
Sprinkles last night in a loss seventy eight to sixty nine.
Their next game will be this Friday night. That's right,
It's the Apple Cup on the hardwood is they'll take
on the Koogs in Pullman Kraken had a really interesting
couple of days. They won a thriller and impossible comeback
(18:43):
win against Saint Louis on Saturday, in which they scored
with point five seconds left in regulation to tie it
and then one on a Shane.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Wright goal in overtime.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
So they take it four to three over Saint Louis
on Saturday, and then they couldn't stir the same miraculous
comeback yesterday against Dallas as they fall to the Stars
by a final score of two to one. They'll play
again tomorrow, so three games and four days as they'll
take on the Blue Jackets tomorrow seven. Or did they
play the Blues on Friday night except Friday or Saturday?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Saturday?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Saturday? All right?
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Sounders season ended in a shootout. Who would have guessed
that shootouts would have ended the Sounders season this year,
but a crushing way for the Sounder season to come
to an end. As the mad scientist, he cocked up
all sorts of little tricks to get them back into
this thing, and yet it was the shootout that ultimately
(19:39):
cost them.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
In games one and Game three.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
And then finally and maybe most importantly, well very most importantly,
of course, the sad news yesterday the passing of Lenny Wilkins.
Of course eighty eight years old, so he lived a
full and complete, incredible life.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
So that's something to celebrate.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
But certain the basketball world lost an icon, lost a legend.
The Seattle basketball community and just the sports community and
general lost a legend yesterday. I think I heard Scott
Van Peltz one of five people that have been inducted
into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player
and a coach. So obviously Lenny Wilkins left his imprint
(20:21):
on the sport, on the sporting world, and probably more
so as a gentleman even then as a coach or player,
as you won't find anybody as far as I can tell,
that'll say a bad word about Lenny Wilkins.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Now, I ran into that guy a few different times,
and gentleman is the perfect word to you know, kind
of describe him. He just is a kind of consummate
professional and ambassador of the game. Obviously, it's I'm glad
that he was, you know, around long enough to see
a statue put up, you know, in his likeness, and
yet I've still made me a little bit irritated that
(20:59):
he wasn't there to you know, cut the ribbon or
whatever it would have been for the Sonics coming back
to town. But you're right, he did live a very
full life, and I don't think that his legacy's going anywhere.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Right.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Yeah, we'll weave it into the show today. I'm sure
Hughes got some thoughts. Greg's got some thoughts, Coach has
some thoughts. It'll be mostly a football show today, but
we certainly will take advantage of any opportunity to remember
Lenny Wilkins on today's program. Coming up next, cold Turkey
Sandwich comes your way. It's a board of scores for
(21:31):
you right here on Chuck and Box Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Second and four for Indianapolis, the Lord in motion is
full back and then they give it to Jonathan Taylor
steps back inside, Honey takes it to the.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
End zone full the touchdown. The man who has carried
the Colts all afternoon in Perlin gets the game winning
store to make it thirty one twenty five and Indianapolis
cancering out of this kingdom with a victory.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
At the straight. So that's a brit in Germany calling American.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Football tracks gunner and there was a guy in the
game named London who is American.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yep, very confusing.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Westwood won on the call there.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Very early yesterday morning, the NFL Day got started and
I pretty much watched it all. The Indianapolis Colts winners
thirty one to twenty five over the Atlanta Falcons. That's
where we'll start with cold turkey sandwich. Here on a
Monday a board of scores, Colts improved eight and two.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I thought the Falcons outplayed him.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
If not for the play of Jonathan Taylor thirty two carries,
two hundred and forty four yards and three touchdowns, Colts
wouldn't have stood a chance. But I don't think Atlanta
knows how to finish. I really don't they. They had
that game, they could have won that game, And I
don't think they're coaching Steff knows how to finish.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I think their defensive coordinator, Jeff.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Oldbrook the only thing he's really good at is keeping
his computer open for his children to make prank calls
off of his phone numbers to Shador.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
He's really good at that, really awesome at that.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
The Chicago Bears one of the New York Giants by
a final score of twenty four to twenty. The Bears
once again with a fourth quarter comeback. That's two weeks
in a row. They scored the last fourteen points in
the game.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
But would it have.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Happened had Jackson Dart not left this game with an injury.
Jackson Dart has already been taken off of the field
four times this year for concussion related injuries, and yet
he's really playing well. I mean, he was controlling that
entire game by himself until he got.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Hurt, and they brought in this backup guy by the name.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Of Wilson that maybe never heard of him, but the
Bears just closed it out once again twenty four to twenty.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah. I mean, Jackson Dart's been pretty cool to watch
really season. I mean, the way him and Scataboo were playing,
they had a little something, They had a little juice
flowing there in New York. And I don't know if
that team is a finished product that could really do
a whole heck of a lot other than stunny from
a week here and a week there. He just plays
with a kind of reckless abandon both of them do.
(24:17):
And obviously Scataboo got hurt and now Jackson Dart ends
up getting concuss You got to protect yourself a little
bit playing quarterback. Those dudes that are coming after your
way bigger.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yeah, I don't know what they're gonna do with him.
If I just said him, I just said him for
the rest of the year. Got the draft pick. Giants
two and eight. The Buffalo Bills are six and three
on the season after their big win over Kansas City
the previous week.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
They simply didn't show up.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
There's no other explanation for They lost to Miami thirty
to thirteen. They were trailing six to nothing at the
sixteen to nothing at the.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Start of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Josh Allen a healthy Bills team and they were getting
shut out by the Miami Dolphins, who've been accused of
quit And that's what you came up with.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You nailed it when I made the pick. I took
the Bills thinking they'd cover by ten, and yeah, they
barely even got to ten points, let alone. The other thing,
you were like, you're not worried about a letdown or
a trap game. That's exactly what it was. They did
not show up thinking they had to do anything other
than throw their jocks on the field, and you just
can't do that. I don't care who you're playing.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Josh Allen was embarrassed.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
He got me, he went faced the media, got up
to the podium and he didn't even comb his hair,
and he you usually he's very very you know, I
don't know what the charismatic yes, and he just was like,
I don't want to do this right now.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
I don't want to do it well, and I feel like,
don't don't they lose to the Dolphins once a year.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
It feels like.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
They did last year too.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Yeah, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Don't think it's a matchup problem. I think it's a
focus problem.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Probably.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
I guess you don't show up all seventeen games of
an NFL season, So that's that's what If I'm a
Bills fan, that's what I got to chalk it up to. Yeah,
I can live with it if you're telling me you
just didn't show up ready to play today. So hopefully
you've learned your lesson and become stronger for it.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Baltimore is on the come.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
They won again yesterday over the Minnesota Vikings twenty seven
to nineteen. They're still not clicking, and yet they've won
three consecutive games.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
They've improved to four and five and low and bold.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
The Ravens are only a game back in the division,
as the Steelers lost last night to the Los Angeles
Chargers by a final score of twenty five to ten,
pretty much total domination for the Chargers. They doubled them
up in time of possession. Last night, the New York
Jets won over the Cleveland Browns twenty seven to twenty,
So the Jets have suddenly won two straight games. Of course,
(26:48):
they did get aided by a kick return touchdown in
the first quarter and a punt.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Return touchdown in the first quarter.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That was great. That was my other fail as far
as factor fiction goes. I had picked the Jets as
a road favor. That makes a whole heck of a
lot of sense. But when I saw the first kick
return and then I had switched to another game, all
of a sudden, when I switched back, I see another
guy run in like they're showing a replay. Nope, that
was two separate ones, two separate kick returns. So yeah,
I mean you, basically, if you can't do that I
(27:16):
suppose the Jets sold a couple guys off their defense.
They kept all their playmakers on special teams.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Apparently they got to get to my five win prediction.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
At one point they had had six plays and they
were through a quarter and a half and were winning comfortably.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, he had run six offensive plays.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Well, you know what happens when you trade away and
kind of give up on the season.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
All of a sudden, Justin.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Fields had one passing yard in the first half I think.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
And they end up winning by final score twenty seven
to twenty.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
New England Patriots twenty eight twenty three winners over the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's a really nice win for a
team that clearly has turned the corner. They are the
AFC equivalent of the Seahawks. Drake May has entered a
new realm of quality play. As a matter of fact,
woke up this morning to being the MVP favorite, the
(28:09):
MVP favorite in Vegas. They are game and a half
up on the Buffalo Bills as well at eight and
two and maybe in the driver's seat toward getting the
number one seed in the AFC playoffs. Carolina Panthers can't
figure out what they are from week to week. They
lost yesterday. They're five and five on the season. The
New Orleans Saints won seventeen to seven over the Panthers.
(28:33):
Tyler shuck two hundred and eighty two passing yards and
the great news for New Order, The good news is
that they won a game.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
The great news is they didn't lose their.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Standing in the NFL draft order because of what a
topsy turvy upset week it was in the National Football League,
So they preserved their suck. Yeah, they won a game
and yet are still the second suckiest team in the
National Football League.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Where do you go, Saintans accomplishment?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Fust job.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
The Jacksonville, JA Daguars had the worst loss though of
the weekend. They were up nineteen in the fourth quarter
against a division rival, kind of had a chance to
smash the Houston Texans completely out of the race, and
instead they were outscored twenty six to nothing in the
fourth quarter and lost by seven thirty six to twenty nine.
(29:20):
Jags are five and four, the Texans are four and five.
Detroit Lions handed things over to Dan Campbell, or Dan
Campbell took over, i should say, the play calling, and
it worked. The Lions could not be stopped by the
Washington Commanders, who've been smoked back to back weeks, once
by the Seahawks, once by the Lions, forty four to
twenty two. The final score yesterday, Detroit improves to six
(29:43):
and three on the year, and finally, the Los Angeles
Rams forty two to twenty six winners over the San
Francisco forty nine ers yesterday.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Very impressive.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
The Rams right now as impressive as the Seahawks have
been as of late, which is very exciting because the
two are getting ready to meet, both tied to top
the NFC West Division and both playing as well as
any football team in the Galaxy.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Forty two to twenty six.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Stafford through four more touchdown passes yesterday with no interceptions.
He has twenty five touchdown passes this year, two interceptions.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, he's playing as well as you ever seen him play.
And that's saying something because he's been damn good for
a long long time and everybody kind of thought, myself
included boy, this back injury, what's it mean? You know
he didn't play take I don't think he practiced in
the preseason, let alone play in any games. And yet
he doesn't look like he needed it.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
No, no, yeah, he's just been incredible.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Finally Philadelphia, Green Bay Tonight Monday Night football.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Maybe I'll pick a factor fiction. Maybe I won't.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Today at seven thirty five, all right, coming up next,
Coach Bucky will stop by. We got a lot to
ask him. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. ME
will be with us a seven oh five you million
at eight o'clock, Mike Holmgren at nine o'clock, and of
course Coach Bucky as well at six forty five. Only
the biggest and the best, only the most legendary figures
(31:05):
in Seattle sports.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, I mean, coach I suppose is the same as
Coach Bucky. Hughes a ways behind Coach Bucky, right yeah,
Coach Bucky's happy to lead this off that let the
you know, let the legends know how it's done, right right.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Yeah, Well, let's get started, Coach Bucky. What was the
more impressive win the Seahawks forty four to twenty two
went over the Arizona Cardinals or the Los Angeles Rams
waxing of the San Francisco forty nine ers yesterday?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I would say I think the Niners are are better
than the Cardinals, but they didn't beat him as badly.
It was. It was close. I mean, I would I
think that the the division games are tough. I'd probably
say that the Rams was a little bit more impressive.
But that's I mean, you're splitting hairs at that point. Really,
(31:59):
I mean you're talking about two teams went out against
division fos, didn't overlook them, you know, I think the
Rams doing it on the road. Not that it's really
tough to play in Santa Clara. It's not like the
biggest home advantage, home field advantage, but I would probably
give them if I'm splitting hairs. But really it boils
down to I think both these teams didn't overlook their opponents,
(32:20):
that they were somewhat better than the Niners. Obviously I
think are better than the Cardinals, and so good for
the Rams to go on the road not overlook them,
even though they know there's a big game coming up
this week.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Who's playing better than these two teams right now?
Speaker 8 (32:32):
I was listening on the way in today and they
were like, there was no impressive NFL teams this weekend,
And then all of a sudden, he's like, well, except
the Rams and Seahawks, and I'm like, well, yeah, so
there were two.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
And the Patriots.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Yeah yeah, Patriots a really impressive when there's no question
about it all right, Next up, Coach Bucky more painful loss.
I hate to even bring this up now that I'm here,
but I've already backed myself into the corner. Haven't I
Mariners to have lost the way they did or Sounders
to have lost the way they did?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh ooh, I don't. I would I say Mariners, But
then again, that's because I didn't really lose a whole
lot of sleep over the Sounders. I mean it, it's
to me personally, the pain of never having done it right.
It's not like the Sounders fans are are harkening back
(33:23):
to any years of futility, let alone of you know,
the almost fifty years of it that the Mariners have
suffered through and then to just be right there that
close to gett into the World Series for the first time.
It's Mariners without a doubt for me. But I'm sure
that Jackson Feltz maybe is feeling a little bit different
about that.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I was thinking of more of like how how they
lost it. I was thinking about, like the emotion and
the background and the history, like losing because you were
eight outs away and you gave up a home run
to a guy you shouldn't it probably even should have
been careful against or losing because you can't score in
a shootout.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
This one, yeah, well yeah, that's rough. Now if they
had lost in the penalty shootout the way they did
the first game where you just couldn't you had three
guys not put the ball on goal. That's one way
this went like ten. I mean it comes down to
your your your goalkeeper not hit, putting one on goal,
hitting the crossbar. I think that's a little bit more
(34:22):
of you know, anything could have happened. And that one
was back and forth of make it, make it, miss it,
miss it, like they were answering the bell and eventually
somebody was gonna come up on the short end. It
just wasn't the Sounders year.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
Coach, did you also play by the way like Lenny Wilkins?
Were you both an excellent coach and a player in
your day?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, it's not going to be talked about a whole
lot because I like it not being brought up. But
I have been inducted into seventeen holes. Is that right,
huh huh. Yeah, Well, I coached basically every sport. I've
coached every sport and then I've basically went from you know,
the youth in all those sports all the way to
(35:03):
the professional level, and I've never been not the best
in every league. So I basically, you know, I had
to split my times, you know, quickly. But it was
just championship at you know, pee wee football, and then
I went on to Major League baseball and then you know,
back to youth basketball and just all over the place,
but dominant basically everywhere. So I tip my cap to
(35:24):
guys like Lenny Wilkins, who I think it was player, coach,
and then even I think being like a Dream Team assistant.
I think there was some sort of hall of fame
he's in, So kudos to guys like him. In reality,
I mean, he's one of one. I think. I don't
think there's very many people that make the Hall of
Fame in as many things as he has.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Just yeah, all aside, I know you've met Lenny Wilkins.
What was the thing that stood out most about Lenny Wilkins?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Do you the softness in which he spoke? I mean,
you know, me like I'm one that I'm a big
sportsmanship guy. I'm not a big fan of arrogance. He
doesn't have an air of arrogance, even though, like we
were talking about, he's been adducted into multiple halls of fame.
A guy like that I could see walking around peacock
(36:13):
in a little bit chested up, maybe looking down his
nose at somebody. And yet he is the exact opposite
of that. He is very forthright and very very cordial.
And when you meet him, and it's sometimes you meet
somebody we've all met somebody before, and you shake their
hand and you're just doing a little small talk. You're
not planning on stealing their ear for an hour, and
yet you can tell that they're like, I don't know you,
(36:35):
and I don't really need to talk to you, like
they can't wait for it to be over. You don't
get that. He didn't get that with him one bit.
He was all right, I'm where I'm at, and right
now it's you, and you get my undivided attention. And
I just remember walking away every time that I met
him thinking, or every time that I got to speak
to him, thinking, Wow, what a gracious human being. Right,
(36:56):
And then on top of it, Oh, you were really amazing,
and you're kind of the dude that came here kicking
and screaming in that Atlanta trade and then you led
the Sonics to a championship. So it's just there's something
about Lenny Wilkins in this city that is the city
embraced him, and he then in turn embraced the city,
(37:16):
and he's an ambassador, without a doubt for professional athletes
in the city.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
We'll talk more about Lenny Wilkins throughout our four hours together.
Greg Bell is going to be joining us here at
seven oh five. We also have headlines next on Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Let's get a sound chrink.

Brighton Mellanois and former high school basketball stand What in
the hell does that meant?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Jumped any conclusions?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Not a god.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You've got to lower lower your expectations.
Speaker 6 (00:26):
Hard to believe he could once send a fastball to.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Pluto getting some Bucky Jacobson vibes and former I'll just
openly admit I'm a fat, out of SHAPEX athlete.
Speaker 6 (00:36):
Now there's been a noticeable spike in your blood pressure.
Five seven guard and a former college water polo national champions.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
A lot of useless crap up here.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
Wow, this is Chuck and Buck in the Morning with
Ashley Ryan Bock. To you by to Latok Casino Resort
and quilsee the Greek Draft Game sports Book where the
action never stopped.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Good Monday morning, Welcome into the radio show.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
It is Checking Back in the Morning Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ R f M.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Great to have you with us.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Enjoyed some of
that amazing fall weather over Saturday and Sunday, and of
course all sorts of sports activity, my goodness, too much
to keep up with.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But of course here on a Monday we talked football.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
We talk a lot of football here on a Monday,
and we will certainly be doing that here this evening, bugget,
was your weekend everything you hoped it would be. Did
you put some palm trees out in your landscape just
so you felt like you were in Hawaiian?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I didn't go that far. No. It started off absolutely
wonderfully with the Comedy Show on Friday, and I and
five Iron and a couple of my buddies. We had
a good time that.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Dustin and uh is it Lochmanlan Lochland, one of the
other comics, came up and hung out outwards in the
suite for a little while. That was awesome. I ended
up staying up way later than even I am used to,
oh Friday night, so Saturday was a bit of a
recovery day.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And then you follow that with which was fine. I
was gonna watch football and relax and not do a
whole heck of a lot anyway. But then Sunday a
lot of stuff to watch on Sunday as well. So
I did a lot of laying around at the point
where now like my body's like seizing up from not moving.
Oh like I can hardly turn my neck towards you.
But I'm not complaining. It was a very relaxing I
mean there was timesaxing. I got hurt laying around. Yeah,
(02:52):
basically that's you know, you're getting old.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
It happens.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
Yeah, yeah, it's happened to me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's not a good feeling. My body hurts today and
it's like, why, well, you didn't do anything good for
your body over the weekend. I did order those Frankies
pizzas I was speaking about on my way home on Friday,
uh and polished off the end of them last night.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Oh yeah, so I did.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, I did finish strong.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I did.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I did nothing good for my body this weekend. But
I had a good time doing it. I had a
great time actually to do that.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah yeah, Ashley, everything good with you?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
I did not have the relaxing weekend Bucky had. It
was very busy, but it was good.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Okay, all right, what did you squeeze in that was
so busy? Well?
Speaker 8 (03:33):
The comedy show Friday. I went to a show at
the Paramount with my friend Lauren. On Saturday's dinner and
a show on Saturday. On top of Seahawks Sunday, I
didn't go to the Seahawks gy No. I played golf
in the morning. Then I watched the game with some friends.
Then I went to my mom's house and made dinner
and then came home.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah, busy, that's busy. Actually doesn't even feel rested. You
feel too rested. She doesn't feel rested at all.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think maybe I'm right there in between. Yah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
So yes, and I will be the one that gets
kicked out of the house eventually. It is chucking Buck
in the mornings here on this Monday. Welcome into the
radio show. It is a frost brewed Corse like Choose
Chill Monday, counting you down to Monday Night football tonight
at five point fifteen pm. Just in case you didn't
get enough football in your life this weekend. I certainly
(04:22):
got a lot of that, and we certainly got treated
to yet another impressive Seahawks victory. They destroyed the Arizona
Cardinals yesterday by a final score of forty four to
twenty two. But that does not even tell the story.
They were up twenty one to nothing after the first quarter.
They were up thirty five to nothing with eight and
(04:43):
a half minutes left in the first half. I'm not
sure there have been too many NFL games where a
team went into fourth quarter kill the clock mode with
eight and a half minutes to go in the first
half of play. Yes, a few careless mistakes created a
little bit of a hey.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Guys, let's not blow this.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
That would be really embarrassing moment in the third quarter,
But for the most part, I mean, forty six runs
to twelve passes. When's the last time you saw a
four to one run to pass ratio in an NFL game.
That's how That's how set The Seahawks were halfway through
(05:28):
the second quarter, where Mike McDonald's just like, let's just
run the ball and kill some clock, and it knew
a very good job of it. That game felt like
it lasted forever. Same with the other two games that
were going on in the afternoon yesterday. They were all
very high scoring, but that was a butt whooping and
for six quarters. I'm not sure an NFL team's going
(05:51):
to look better than what the Seahawks did for their
last game and the first two quarters of yesterday's game.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
That's about as well.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
That's about as dominant as you can be in the
National Football League.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, well, there's not very many times that you're gonna
look at a score where you double somebody up forty
four to twenty two and go, yeah, it was as
close as the score indicates. Usually that's when it's like, oh,
they won by seven, but they really should have beat
them by seventeen. I mean, that's it's something else to
whoop somebody that bad. And yet it was actually worse
than that because I mean the way they came out
(06:22):
that first drive was I mean impeccable, and Jackson Smith
and jig but just continues to shine, and so does
Sam Darnold for that matter, the guy giving the ball
to him. But yeah, then the defense stepping up the
way they did and putting the pressure on Brissett and
forcing those fumbles. I mean, to be up thirty five
zip with I mean, you're not even a full quarter
(06:43):
and a half into the game. You're right, it doesn't
It just doesn't happen. You just don't see it happen
like that very often. So I mean, kudos to them,
they're clicking right now. And you're right, it did look
like the third quarter like okay, you're not going to
I mean, I don't think anybody really ever had thought
of don't let this. I guess it wasn't like you're
going to let this slip away. But it kind of
(07:05):
got to like, okay, you can stop doing that now
so that we don't have the feeling of don't you
dare right. It was kind of that like, okay, you
got to stop doing that.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Even lost your mind, Yeah you can't, No, let's not
do this.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
But I was never worried that they were going to lose,
but there was was this element of like, don't even
let them back then this game that's embarrassing in and
out of itself.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
And they didn't. Yeah they didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They didn't. They figured out a way, and yet it
was you're you're right. I think to some degree. How
many times do you see it where a team you
know they'll be up ten, like I said, and they
just kind of go into this PreventT and it sometimes
prevents them from actually finishing the job and winning the
ball game. It's not very often that you play two
and a half quarters of prevent, you know, not prevent necessarily. Really,
(07:51):
it was kind of they we're okay with you throwing
the ball to you know, Trey McBride and nine times
and him catching it and getting the first down, and
then they and then when they get down in the
red zone and they kind of have to go for
it on fourth down. They have to score touchdowns. They're
not going to catch up by trying to kick field goals,
and then the defense would bow up and stop them.
(08:12):
And so they did a lot of good things. And obviously,
anytime you're in a game where you kind of take
your foot off the gas, then there's gonna be mistakes
and and those are things that you look at and
you're like, hey, we got to clean that up a
little bit. And I'm sure a lot of players, like coach,
we all know, we were just trying to get that
thing to triple zeros at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I just didn't like that Sam Darnold got sacked one time.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
One time.
Speaker 8 (08:35):
Yeah, come on, man, come on, guys.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Come on protect Sam. Yeah, he's just trying to melt
the clock away. That's all he had. He did.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
He was the most careless of all of them.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
I mean, I know that the fumbled snap was not
his fault, or at least it didn't look like it
to me. Maybe he will tell us differently later on,
but he had three turnovers. He was probably the one
that you would accuse of being a little bit careless.
But you know, you know, though, when you are going well,
because obviously the offense is going well. I think we
(09:10):
have two top five MVP candidates on this team, I
think Donald and JSN And of course they're being overlooked
at this stage in the process. But that's how well
your offense is going that you might have two top
five candidates for MVP in the National Football League. That
and yet our defense is the strength of the team.
So you know it's going well there. But you know
(09:32):
when you're really going well in football is when on
every single special team's kick return you get a big hit. Yeah,
notice that, like everything was clicking, like we the team
is so fired up, so singularly focused, so locked in,
so playing their a game. Every return that the Cardinals
(09:52):
had kick or punt, they got popped in the mouth
by a different guy, you know, with his hair on fire,
screaming down the sidelines that's when you know your click
when when you get a big hit on seemingly every
single kick return.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
That's where the Seahawks are right now.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun to watch them yesterday.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
I mean, especially just again, that first quarter and a
half felt like it was a full game's worth of
scoring and fun. It was like you'd gotten cliff notes
of a game and somebody had just taken the whole
thing and compacted in one and a half quarters and
in reality that was just real time, which was crazy.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
And then talking about crazy, when have you ever seen
that instant replay of a sacked quarterback forced fumble by
the same dude gets picked up by the other same
dude and returned for a touchdown.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I mean, I don't know if that's ever happened.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
I mean, I don't have all that information in front
of me, and I'm scared of AI.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Right, yeah, don't ask.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, so, but when.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Have you ever seen in a game that the opposing
quarterback gets sacked by the same guy in the same fashion,
causing the same result, and the ball pops into the
same arms of the teammate that you know takes it
into the end zone for the same result. I mean,
you want to talk about lightning striking the Cardinals twice yesterday?
(11:13):
As if the game wasn't bad enough. Jacoby Brissett ended
up getting struck by lightning two times in the game yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, he probably was laying there the second time. I
was that just dejevu?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Was that? That was DejaVu? Right?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Nop?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh? Wow? That was that actually happened? Again?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
What a day I'm having.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
One of my friends was like, was the replay like
all of a sudden, randomly in the middle of the game.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Did they just do a replay? What happened?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The good thing for linebacker with two plays like that?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, By the way, the good thing is I've never
had DejaVu twice, Like, I mean, the same thing twice.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Where you I think you've said that to me before.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Ye see, I've had it happen once. We're like, I'm
pretty sure I've seen that before, but never have I
been like I just saw it again, Like, how did
that just happen? And yet that is the way that it.
I mean it, You're right, it's interesting to see how
I mean, A good buddy of mine was up watching
the game and he put some posts out yesterday and
another friend of mine said, you might be watching the
(12:12):
best team in the league right now, and I think that,
you know, there was talk about that after last week's game.
I don't think this week did anything to slow the
role of that troll. You know, it's anything. I think
that it's you can see teams. I mean, it's not easy.
Mike McDonald said after the game. You know, no wins
in the NFL are easy. Now that one looked easy.
(12:33):
It started out in a way, in a fashion like
you said, where it's touchdowns and scoop and scores, and
next thing you know, you're up thirty five halfway through
the second quarter, where okay, this is a pretty easy victory,
and yet you still have more game to play and
hopefully keep guys from getting hurt. But to me, yeah,
you're now looking at two games and it really sitting
at seven to two. You're on top of a division
(12:54):
where there's a couple other teams with six wins and
and and yet you find yourself. You find yourself I think,
getting some of the credit that you deserve at this
point because the offense is the thing that has been
kind of this eye opening eye popping situation, how well
Sam Darnold's playing and Jackson Smith and Jigman even without
the run game clicking on all cylinders prior Toy yesterday,
(13:17):
it still has been pretty amazing how much this offensive scored.
And yet you still know, like and our defense is
really what's the best part of this team. It is
a scary situation. I don't think anybody's overlooking the Hawks
now well.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
And the fact that we also got the answer because
everybody after they traded for Rashid Shaheed was like, Okay,
Cooper Cup has to be more injured than we know
than we're being told.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well, clearly he's not.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Yeah, they just really wanted to out another offensive weapon
and good for him.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Sixty seven yard Horton didn't play though, sixty seven yard
catch for a Cooper Cup in the game. It's like everybody,
everybody had a little bit of a hand in it.
Yesterday a forty four to twenty two win. And yeah,
I think Bucky's right. I think last week, I think
there were a lot of people that have platforms nationally
(14:02):
even locally, because you know, I think we even as
underestimated the full potential of this team. Yeah, that we're like,
oh boy, have we been sleeping on the Seahawks, And
the answer was yes, national guys. And then today, I
mean they were already shot to number one in the
Power rankings. I don't know, you can't get higher number one.
(14:24):
But there was nothing that they did yesterday that's going
to take the shine off of the way they're playing
right now.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Now.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Of course, this is also a league in which you're
on top one day or at the bottom the next day,
and you never want to peak in November, and that's
the that's the last thing that you want to do.
So hopefully we're not talking about a team that's just
crowning at this point. But six for six quarters, I
don't think anybody and all season long, is going to
(14:52):
play better than what the Seahawks did for the Commander's
game and then the first half of the Cardinals game yesterday,
because that was total dominance and we're not supposed to
see dominance to that extent. I mean, my goodness, the
Buffalo Bills lost by seventeen points to the Miami Dolphins
a week after they beat the Chiefs. Yeah, so, I mean,
(15:12):
it's just not a sport, it's not a league that
you're supposed to display that level of dominance, and yet
that's where we are with the local professional football team.
It's exciting, there's no question about it. And we're gonna
break it down for you here for four hours today.
Let's find out what is on tape?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
What's on tip? What's on tap?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
All right?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Forty four to twenty two Seahawks over the Arizona Cardinals.
Greg Bell will stop by at seven oh five today
to give us some injury information. JSN got a little
banged up yesterday and still almost had over one hundred
yards and he would have if you would have thrown
the ball more than twelve times five catches ninety three
yards to his campaign as world's best wide receiver continues
(15:58):
this season. Still get an update from Greg on what's
going on there, and of course we can already kind
of start talking about next week. I mean, I know
we don't normally jump to that until Wednesday, but this
isn't your typical game. This might be the game of
the year right here. Seahawks rams this week. Rams were
(16:18):
just as impressive yesterday against the forty nine ers as
what the Seahawks were against the Cardinals. Matthew Stafford is
playing better football than he's ever played. What a matchup
we are going to have in Los Angeles this Sunday
at one o'clock two seven and two teams first place
on the line here in the NFC West, and so
(16:38):
that's going to be thrilling, And so we'll start that
conversation a little bit today.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
It was a week of.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Upsets in the National Football League. The dregs of the
league actually showed up this week in the NFL. We'll
cover it all in Cold Turkey Sandwich, which is coming
your way at six thirty. College football, You Dubb couldn't
have played worse against Wisconsin. I know there was leat
and snow and slush and everything else.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They were playing poorly before that.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yep, you're right, they just I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
I mean, we'll talk more about a little bit later on,
but I don't think I've ever seen a quarterback as
talented as he is who has a less sense of
where the pass rush is coming from than Demon Williams Junior.
So maybe we'll talk about that a little bit later
on in the show at seven point thirty. But any
thought of you Dub making it to the playoffs ended
in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, they lost thirteen to ten.
(17:31):
Other college football news, undefeated BYU fell to Texas Tech,
and that will cause a bit of a shake up
tomorrow when they announced the latest college Football Playoff rankings.
The way I see it, there'll be three new teams
in the College Football Playoff rankings as Memphis will be out,
DYU will be out, and Virginia will be out. My
guess is you'll see Texas James Madison, believe it or not,
(17:57):
and then Georgia Tech will jump into the rankings tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
But we'll find out tomorrow night.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
You dub hoops started off too to zero, but really
faced their first quality opponent last night taking on Baylor,
and Baylor won seventy eight to sixty nine. But I've
been encouraging to hang with one of the better programs
in all of college basketball and lose by nine. At
one point I think they were down to within five,
I think with about five minutes to go in the game.
(18:23):
So pretty good effort to put forth by the Fighting
Sprinkles last night in a loss seventy eight to sixty nine.
Their next game will be this Friday night. That's right,
It's the Apple Cup on the hardwood is they'll take
on the Koogs in Pullman Kraken had a really interesting
couple of days. They won a thriller and impossible comeback
(18:43):
win against Saint Louis on Saturday, in which they scored
with point five seconds left in regulation to tie it
and then one on a Shane.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Wright goal in overtime.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
So they take it four to three over Saint Louis
on Saturday, and then they couldn't stir the same miraculous
comeback yesterday against Dallas as they fall to the Stars
by a final score of two to one. They'll play
again tomorrow, so three games and four days as they'll
take on the Blue Jackets tomorrow seven. Or did they
play the Blues on Friday night except Friday or Saturday?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Saturday?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Saturday? All right?
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Sounders season ended in a shootout. Who would have guessed
that shootouts would have ended the Sounders season this year,
but a crushing way for the Sounder season to come
to an end. As the mad scientist, he cocked up
all sorts of little tricks to get them back into
this thing, and yet it was the shootout that ultimately
(19:39):
cost them.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
In games one and Game three.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
And then finally and maybe most importantly, well very most importantly,
of course, the sad news yesterday the passing of Lenny Wilkins.
Of course eighty eight years old, so he lived a
full and complete, incredible life.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
So that's something to celebrate.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
But certain the basketball world lost an icon, lost a legend.
The Seattle basketball community and just the sports community and
general lost a legend yesterday. I think I heard Scott
Van Peltz one of five people that have been inducted
into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player
and a coach. So obviously Lenny Wilkins left his imprint
(20:21):
on the sport, on the sporting world, and probably more
so as a gentleman even then as a coach or player,
as you won't find anybody as far as I can tell,
that'll say a bad word about Lenny Wilkins.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Now, I ran into that guy a few different times,
and gentleman is the perfect word to you know, kind
of describe him. He just is a kind of consummate
professional and ambassador of the game. Obviously, it's I'm glad
that he was, you know, around long enough to see
a statue put up, you know, in his likeness, and
yet I've still made me a little bit irritated that
(20:59):
he wasn't there to you know, cut the ribbon or
whatever it would have been for the Sonics coming back
to town. But you're right, he did live a very
full life, and I don't think that his legacy's going anywhere.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Right.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Yeah, we'll weave it into the show today. I'm sure
Hughes got some thoughts. Greg's got some thoughts, Coach has
some thoughts. It'll be mostly a football show today, but
we certainly will take advantage of any opportunity to remember
Lenny Wilkins on today's program. Coming up next, cold Turkey
Sandwich comes your way. It's a board of scores for
(21:31):
you right here on Chuck and Box Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Second and four for Indianapolis, the Lord in motion is
full back and then they give it to Jonathan Taylor
steps back inside, Honey takes it to the.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
End zone full the touchdown. The man who has carried
the Colts all afternoon in Perlin gets the game winning
store to make it thirty one twenty five and Indianapolis
cancering out of this kingdom with a victory.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
At the straight. So that's a brit in Germany calling American.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Football tracks gunner and there was a guy in the
game named London who is American.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yep, very confusing.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Westwood won on the call there.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Very early yesterday morning, the NFL Day got started and
I pretty much watched it all. The Indianapolis Colts winners
thirty one to twenty five over the Atlanta Falcons. That's
where we'll start with cold turkey sandwich. Here on a
Monday a board of scores, Colts improved eight and two.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I thought the Falcons outplayed him.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
If not for the play of Jonathan Taylor thirty two carries,
two hundred and forty four yards and three touchdowns, Colts
wouldn't have stood a chance. But I don't think Atlanta
knows how to finish. I really don't they. They had
that game, they could have won that game, And I
don't think they're coaching Steff knows how to finish.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I think their defensive coordinator, Jeff.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Oldbrook the only thing he's really good at is keeping
his computer open for his children to make prank calls
off of his phone numbers to Shador.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
He's really good at that, really awesome at that.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
The Chicago Bears one of the New York Giants by
a final score of twenty four to twenty. The Bears
once again with a fourth quarter comeback. That's two weeks
in a row. They scored the last fourteen points in
the game.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
But would it have.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Happened had Jackson Dart not left this game with an injury.
Jackson Dart has already been taken off of the field
four times this year for concussion related injuries, and yet
he's really playing well. I mean, he was controlling that
entire game by himself until he got.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Hurt, and they brought in this backup guy by the name.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Of Wilson that maybe never heard of him, but the
Bears just closed it out once again twenty four to twenty.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah. I mean, Jackson Dart's been pretty cool to watch
really season. I mean, the way him and Scataboo were playing,
they had a little something, They had a little juice
flowing there in New York. And I don't know if
that team is a finished product that could really do
a whole heck of a lot other than stunny from
a week here and a week there. He just plays
with a kind of reckless abandon both of them do.
(24:17):
And obviously Scataboo got hurt and now Jackson Dart ends
up getting concuss You got to protect yourself a little
bit playing quarterback. Those dudes that are coming after your
way bigger.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yeah, I don't know what they're gonna do with him.
If I just said him, I just said him for
the rest of the year. Got the draft pick. Giants
two and eight. The Buffalo Bills are six and three
on the season after their big win over Kansas City
the previous week.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
They simply didn't show up.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
There's no other explanation for They lost to Miami thirty
to thirteen. They were trailing six to nothing at the
sixteen to nothing at the.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Start of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Josh Allen a healthy Bills team and they were getting
shut out by the Miami Dolphins, who've been accused of
quit And that's what you came up with.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You nailed it when I made the pick. I took
the Bills thinking they'd cover by ten, and yeah, they
barely even got to ten points, let alone. The other thing,
you were like, you're not worried about a letdown or
a trap game. That's exactly what it was. They did
not show up thinking they had to do anything other
than throw their jocks on the field, and you just
can't do that. I don't care who you're playing.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Josh Allen was embarrassed.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
He got me, he went faced the media, got up
to the podium and he didn't even comb his hair,
and he you usually he's very very you know, I
don't know what the charismatic yes, and he just was like,
I don't want to do this right now.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
I don't want to do it well, and I feel like,
don't don't they lose to the Dolphins once a year.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
It feels like.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
They did last year too.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Yeah, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Don't think it's a matchup problem. I think it's a
focus problem.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Probably.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
I guess you don't show up all seventeen games of
an NFL season, So that's that's what If I'm a
Bills fan, that's what I got to chalk it up to. Yeah,
I can live with it if you're telling me you
just didn't show up ready to play today. So hopefully
you've learned your lesson and become stronger for it.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Baltimore is on the come.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
They won again yesterday over the Minnesota Vikings twenty seven
to nineteen. They're still not clicking, and yet they've won
three consecutive games.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
They've improved to four and five and low and bold.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
The Ravens are only a game back in the division,
as the Steelers lost last night to the Los Angeles
Chargers by a final score of twenty five to ten,
pretty much total domination for the Chargers. They doubled them
up in time of possession. Last night, the New York
Jets won over the Cleveland Browns twenty seven to twenty,
So the Jets have suddenly won two straight games. Of course,
(26:48):
they did get aided by a kick return touchdown in
the first quarter and a punt.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Return touchdown in the first quarter.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That was great. That was my other fail as far
as factor fiction goes. I had picked the Jets as
a road favor. That makes a whole heck of a
lot of sense. But when I saw the first kick
return and then I had switched to another game, all
of a sudden, when I switched back, I see another
guy run in like they're showing a replay. Nope, that
was two separate ones, two separate kick returns. So yeah,
I mean you, basically, if you can't do that I
(27:16):
suppose the Jets sold a couple guys off their defense.
They kept all their playmakers on special teams.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Apparently they got to get to my five win prediction.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
At one point they had had six plays and they
were through a quarter and a half and were winning comfortably.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, he had run six offensive plays.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Well, you know what happens when you trade away and
kind of give up on the season.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
All of a sudden, Justin.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Fields had one passing yard in the first half I think.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
And they end up winning by final score twenty seven
to twenty.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
New England Patriots twenty eight twenty three winners over the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's a really nice win for a
team that clearly has turned the corner. They are the
AFC equivalent of the Seahawks. Drake May has entered a
new realm of quality play. As a matter of fact,
woke up this morning to being the MVP favorite, the
(28:09):
MVP favorite in Vegas. They are game and a half
up on the Buffalo Bills as well at eight and
two and maybe in the driver's seat toward getting the
number one seed in the AFC playoffs. Carolina Panthers can't
figure out what they are from week to week. They
lost yesterday. They're five and five on the season. The
New Orleans Saints won seventeen to seven over the Panthers.
(28:33):
Tyler shuck two hundred and eighty two passing yards and
the great news for New Order, The good news is
that they won a game.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
The great news is they didn't lose their.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Standing in the NFL draft order because of what a
topsy turvy upset week it was in the National Football League,
So they preserved their suck. Yeah, they won a game
and yet are still the second suckiest team in the
National Football League.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Where do you go, Saintans accomplishment?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Fust job.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
The Jacksonville, JA Daguars had the worst loss though of
the weekend. They were up nineteen in the fourth quarter
against a division rival, kind of had a chance to
smash the Houston Texans completely out of the race, and
instead they were outscored twenty six to nothing in the
fourth quarter and lost by seven thirty six to twenty nine.
(29:20):
Jags are five and four, the Texans are four and five.
Detroit Lions handed things over to Dan Campbell, or Dan
Campbell took over, i should say, the play calling, and
it worked. The Lions could not be stopped by the
Washington Commanders, who've been smoked back to back weeks, once
by the Seahawks, once by the Lions, forty four to
twenty two. The final score yesterday, Detroit improves to six
(29:43):
and three on the year, and finally, the Los Angeles
Rams forty two to twenty six winners over the San
Francisco forty nine ers yesterday.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Very impressive.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
The Rams right now as impressive as the Seahawks have
been as of late, which is very exciting because the
two are getting ready to meet, both tied to top
the NFC West Division and both playing as well as
any football team in the Galaxy.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Forty two to twenty six.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Stafford through four more touchdown passes yesterday with no interceptions.
He has twenty five touchdown passes this year, two interceptions.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, he's playing as well as you ever seen him play.
And that's saying something because he's been damn good for
a long long time and everybody kind of thought, myself
included boy, this back injury, what's it mean? You know
he didn't play take I don't think he practiced in
the preseason, let alone play in any games. And yet
he doesn't look like he needed it.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
No, no, yeah, he's just been incredible.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Finally Philadelphia, Green Bay Tonight Monday Night football.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Maybe I'll pick a factor fiction. Maybe I won't.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Today at seven thirty five, all right, coming up next,
Coach Bucky will stop by. We got a lot to
ask him. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. ME
will be with us a seven oh five you million
at eight o'clock, Mike Holmgren at nine o'clock, and of
course Coach Bucky as well at six forty five. Only
the biggest and the best, only the most legendary figures
(31:05):
in Seattle sports.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, I mean, coach I suppose is the same as
Coach Bucky. Hughes a ways behind Coach Bucky, right yeah,
Coach Bucky's happy to lead this off that let the
you know, let the legends know how it's done, right right.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Yeah, Well, let's get started, Coach Bucky. What was the
more impressive win the Seahawks forty four to twenty two
went over the Arizona Cardinals or the Los Angeles Rams
waxing of the San Francisco forty nine ers yesterday?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I would say I think the Niners are are better
than the Cardinals, but they didn't beat him as badly.
It was. It was close. I mean, I would I
think that the the division games are tough. I'd probably
say that the Rams was a little bit more impressive.
But that's I mean, you're splitting hairs at that point. Really,
(31:59):
I mean you're talking about two teams went out against
division fos, didn't overlook them, you know, I think the
Rams doing it on the road. Not that it's really
tough to play in Santa Clara. It's not like the
biggest home advantage, home field advantage, but I would probably
give them if I'm splitting hairs. But really it boils
down to I think both these teams didn't overlook their opponents,
(32:20):
that they were somewhat better than the Niners. Obviously I
think are better than the Cardinals, and so good for
the Rams to go on the road not overlook them,
even though they know there's a big game coming up
this week.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Who's playing better than these two teams right now?
Speaker 8 (32:32):
I was listening on the way in today and they
were like, there was no impressive NFL teams this weekend,
And then all of a sudden, he's like, well, except
the Rams and Seahawks, and I'm like, well, yeah, so
there were two.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
And the Patriots.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Yeah yeah, Patriots a really impressive when there's no question
about it all right, Next up, Coach Bucky more painful loss.
I hate to even bring this up now that I'm here,
but I've already backed myself into the corner. Haven't I
Mariners to have lost the way they did or Sounders
to have lost the way they did?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh ooh, I don't. I would I say Mariners, But
then again, that's because I didn't really lose a whole
lot of sleep over the Sounders. I mean it, it's
to me personally, the pain of never having done it right.
It's not like the Sounders fans are are harkening back
(33:23):
to any years of futility, let alone of you know,
the almost fifty years of it that the Mariners have
suffered through and then to just be right there that
close to gett into the World Series for the first time.
It's Mariners without a doubt for me. But I'm sure
that Jackson Feltz maybe is feeling a little bit different
about that.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I was thinking of more of like how how they
lost it. I was thinking about, like the emotion and
the background and the history, like losing because you were
eight outs away and you gave up a home run
to a guy you shouldn't it probably even should have
been careful against or losing because you can't score in
a shootout.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
This one, yeah, well yeah, that's rough. Now if they
had lost in the penalty shootout the way they did
the first game where you just couldn't you had three
guys not put the ball on goal. That's one way
this went like ten. I mean it comes down to
your your your goalkeeper not hit, putting one on goal,
hitting the crossbar. I think that's a little bit more
(34:22):
of you know, anything could have happened. And that one
was back and forth of make it, make it, miss it,
miss it, like they were answering the bell and eventually
somebody was gonna come up on the short end. It
just wasn't the Sounders year.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
Coach, did you also play by the way like Lenny Wilkins?
Were you both an excellent coach and a player in
your day?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, it's not going to be talked about a whole
lot because I like it not being brought up. But
I have been inducted into seventeen holes. Is that right,
huh huh. Yeah, Well, I coached basically every sport. I've
coached every sport and then I've basically went from you know,
the youth in all those sports all the way to
(35:03):
the professional level, and I've never been not the best
in every league. So I basically, you know, I had
to split my times, you know, quickly. But it was
just championship at you know, pee wee football, and then
I went on to Major League baseball and then you know,
back to youth basketball and just all over the place,
but dominant basically everywhere. So I tip my cap to
(35:24):
guys like Lenny Wilkins, who I think it was player, coach,
and then even I think being like a Dream Team assistant.
I think there was some sort of hall of fame
he's in, So kudos to guys like him. In reality,
I mean, he's one of one. I think. I don't
think there's very many people that make the Hall of
Fame in as many things as he has.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Just yeah, all aside, I know you've met Lenny Wilkins.
What was the thing that stood out most about Lenny Wilkins?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Do you the softness in which he spoke? I mean,
you know, me like I'm one that I'm a big
sportsmanship guy. I'm not a big fan of arrogance. He
doesn't have an air of arrogance, even though, like we
were talking about, he's been adducted into multiple halls of fame.
A guy like that I could see walking around peacock
(36:13):
in a little bit chested up, maybe looking down his
nose at somebody. And yet he is the exact opposite
of that. He is very forthright and very very cordial.
And when you meet him, and it's sometimes you meet
somebody we've all met somebody before, and you shake their
hand and you're just doing a little small talk. You're
not planning on stealing their ear for an hour, and
yet you can tell that they're like, I don't know you,
(36:35):
and I don't really need to talk to you, like
they can't wait for it to be over. You don't
get that. He didn't get that with him one bit.
He was all right, I'm where I'm at, and right
now it's you, and you get my undivided attention. And
I just remember walking away every time that I met
him thinking, or every time that I got to speak
to him, thinking, Wow, what a gracious human being. Right,
(36:56):
And then on top of it, Oh, you were really amazing,
and you're kind of the dude that came here kicking
and screaming in that Atlanta trade and then you led
the Sonics to a championship. So it's just there's something
about Lenny Wilkins in this city that is the city
embraced him, and he then in turn embraced the city,
(37:16):
and he's an ambassador, without a doubt for professional athletes
in the city.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
We'll talk more about Lenny Wilkins throughout our four hours together.
Greg Bell is going to be joining us here at
seven oh five. We also have headlines next on Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
