Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for THEO, the best twelve minutes of eight
minutes of radio. I'm brought to you by the rich,
complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey weather.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
But please drink responsibly.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
All right, Friday OCHO time here on check them back
in the morning. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Here on a football Friday. We've got a lot to
get to here this segment, and yes, we will get
to a lot of football. As a matter of fact,
I'm kind of touching a little bit flattered. I'm kind
of excited. I mean, I was a little worried that
(00:40):
I went to over the top with drafting this, but
now to find out my coworkers are like.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You have not gone far enough. I don't think you've
heard that correctly. Yeah, I thought barely sufficient is what
I heard. So now I might have racing with all
sorts of ideas for this. I've never heard this before,
but I think this is called wish for hearing. I'll
start next week. Maybe it's not about doing more, just
more of the year.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Does that mean I get to play holiday music starting
next week?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Okay, no, I'm in.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Before Christmas, all right, but yes, before we get to
the football, we are going to lead with Major League Baseball.
Last night, finally we were going to learn whether or
not cal Raley was going to be named the American
League Most Valuable Player. We've known four months it was
going to come down to either he or the centaur
(01:31):
known as Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. Judge
with all of the numbers overall offensively cal with the
historic sixty homer season from a switch hitter who plays
behind the plate and certainly has a lot more on
his plate. So who was going to win the award?
It ultimately came down to Aaron Judge taking it. He
(01:54):
got seventeen of the thirty votes for first place. Both
of them got all of the first or second place votes.
But it's Aaron Judge who ends up being your most
valuable player in any other year. Cal Raley is a
runaway winner in this category. But he admitted afterwards that
(02:14):
he lost to a really great candidate.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean to you know, what, what was gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
But you know, obviously very well deserving. Uh you know,
he's a great player, and you know it was the tyras.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The tyrase cow Raley man a few words, I will
say this. I mean, we've talked about this a lot.
I don't think that there was a bad decision to
make because I think both of these guys in any
other year are running away with the most value.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
They're not even having to share votes. They're a unanimous choice.
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
If it was Cal versus show A, Cal would I
think get every single vote because the discrepancy that show
A offensively did versus what Cal did wasn't nearly as great.
And show A as a pitcher, pretty much his pitched
two or three every game, and so I think Hal
would have beaten show Ay. Maybe not unanimous, but in
(03:06):
any normal year he's a unanimous runaway winner. Unfortunately they
had to go up against one another here in this
American League race.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Yeah, I think they got it wrong. And it's not
taken away from Judge. I just think that's there's things
that you just can't quantify that were missed by unfortunately
three too many people. I mean, you know, obviously there's
they're all looking into it and trying to make the
right decision, and wherever they came, that's their opinion. It's
(03:35):
just unfortunate that seventeen of them had the wrong opinion,
and so you're entitled to your opinion, but you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
I just think it's as I said earlier, the idea
that the complete package that Cal has to work with
every single day is more difficult, more of a test
for him every single day than what Aaron Judge had
to do.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And I think more of that should have been accounted for.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
I know it doesn't have just an easy stat to
look at in a column, but it should have been
weighed as.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Important as the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
This is the heart of this conversation and this debate.
Every single person, I promise you that voted for this
took the vote seriously. They have done a job of
meeting out the people that weren't taking it seriously. So
everybody took it seriously, and everybody did factor in everything
else that's on the plate for Cal Raley versus everything
(04:33):
else that's on the plate for Aaron Judge, and the
gap certainly favored Cal considerably. But the gap offensively the
numbers overall numbers, not just home runs and RBI also
was a considerable gap. I mean it was two hundred
points of ops. I mean, there's a two hundred point
ops difference between Julio Rodriguez and Miles master Bony for
(04:55):
goodness sake, and think about that stark contrast of player.
So we believe that that gap, that cow's gap overlaps
Aaron Judge's offensive gap.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
That's what we believe, and I think we're right.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But seventeen out of thirty voters didn't think it made
up the difference in the offensive gap.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's it. That's that's the that's the bottom line to
this vote.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Yeah, yeah, And I guess my bottom line that I
will die on this hill is they don't They're wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They just don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
They don't they as while I know that they did
their due diligence and they take it seriously, they don't
know how big of a difference that is. It's not
that they didn't recognize it. I guarantee if you asked
any one of them, is there a difference between what
col brings to the table when he's on the other
side when they're doing playing defense, is they're oh, substantial?
(05:51):
And then yet seventeen of them said not enough to
overcome the substantial difference, which I automatically and anybody with
the brain would say, yeah, there's a substantial difference in
the offensive numbers outside of the RBIs and home runs,
and yet it's just it's just to me, it's not
even a contest between the two. I mean, I understand
that it's close because of how spectacular judges offensive numbers work,
(06:15):
but it's just I sit and think about all that,
Like what Ashley's talking about, and you've brought up many
times while we've been talking about it all years, since
this conversation started halfway through the year.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It just is it's it hails.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
In comparison in my opinion, just considering all of the
things that he does and the beating that he takes
to be able to put up these numbers, and it's historic.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
And that's that is the thing, right there, is that everybody,
even in the priest show leading up to the awards,
kept referring to cal season as an his historic season.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
This is historic. Look at all the things he accomplished.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
And then it's like an MLB even put out look
all listed all of the things on their Twitter account
that Cal accomplished in his historic season, but he's still
didn't win.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, yeah, they got it wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, Cal and Julio were both named All MLB last
night as well.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Julio first team All Major League Baseball last night. Brian
Wu Andres Munno's name to the second team as well.
So certainly Cal Raley had it was the year of Cal.
I know he didn't end up winning the Most Valuable Player.
I know he didn't end up getting to the World Series,
but man, if he can top that season, wow, we're lucky.
(07:29):
But well, wow, I issue you a challenge. Caleb Raleigh
the third.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well, good luck to it. Judges.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Judges topped the season that he just won MVP with
like two out of the three years prior to this,
So I mean it's he's going to be this guy.
And I wouldn't have wanted Cal to get it because
somebody thought, well, this is his best chance it'd ever
get one. I just think playing and simple, he had
a better year in the in the entirety, and yet
they gave it to Judge and Judges are deserving candidate.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
There's no doubt about it. He's unbelievable. Yeah, they both
were phenomenal, but Cal was better.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Seahawks Rams play on Sunday man what a game this is.
I mean, obviously the cal Rawley vote being the number
one story must be quite the story if we're not
leading on a football Friday with seven and two versus
seven and two for first place in the division. Greg
Bell was with us one hour ago and he gave
(08:30):
us his key to the game.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Sam Donald.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Is he human in that? Is he going to come
out and say I need to prove myself to myself
against this team that just bludgeoned me to end my
Vikings tenure last January. It's only been ten months. The
last time he's been on that field. He got sacked
nine times and was just a hot mess and the
Vikings went from fourteen to two to out of the
(08:53):
playoffs in one night. Is Donald truly what he says
and what he's shown so far? This poise unflappable and
every game is saying nothing fazes me guy. Or is
he going to be a little extra and forcing things
a little bit more to show these guys don't have me.
He's got to play within himself and not force things.
(09:15):
He's got to get rid of the ball and be
willing to just throw the chuck the ball out of
bounds and getting pressured if they get to them, the
Rams are susceptible in the secondary. If the Seahawks with
Gray's abelm and friends can keep mc donald from being
rushed and being pressured into making choices before he wants to,
the Seahawks have big plays coming in this ram secondary.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
How close was that to your key? Close? Yeah? Close?
Yeah I did, Greg. We'll copy in my papers.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Rise on your own paper, guy, Uh, I mean, Mine's
just it really that how quick you got to make
those decisions. And yet you that's such a double head
sword because you make it too terribly quick, and you're
we're going to be talking about on Monday that he
was forcing balls into places and yet if he holds
on to it, holds on to it too long, then
that's another mistake that you could make.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What a match, my goodness, what a fun Sunday we
got in store for us. Kickoff's going to be at
one o'clock, and I think it is worth noting. I
mean this, as Hugh pointed out yesterday in the roundtable,
as big a game as this is, it's still not
like some sort of make or breakdown. We can still
come back and win the division with a loss. They
(10:30):
can still come back and win the division with a loss.
You can they either one of these teams with a
loss can end up with a number one seed for
goodness sake in the entire NFC playoffs. So but but
for game number ten of the year, this is about
as big a game Number ten of the year as
the Seahawks have ever played.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
I saw in the four letters they said, could the
winner of this game automatically jump to be the Super
Bowl favorite?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I think they will.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I think right now they're number one and two in
the power rankings, right they are? Yeah, stay so yeah,
whoever wins is going to go to number one, that's
for sure. But Seahawks should have Ernest Jones, should have
Cooper Cupp, should have Gray Zabel, even though he's popped
up on the injury report. Greg even told us an
hour ago they might even have Josh Job available to
add to that depth in the secondary. Meanwhile, DeVante Adams
(11:18):
did practice for the Rams but was limited yesterday. We'll
talk more about it coming up later this hour and
with Hugh and Coach in the nine o'clock hour. Thursday
Night Football last night featured a really crappy matchup This.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Sturned out to be a solid drive for the Patriots
under eight minutes to play in the third quarter. Pro
set in the backfield with digsback there, May out of
the gun, looks left.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Pro's left for the back of the hands one pot.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Henderson kept his beat in balves his third store of
the nights a seven yard touchdown passed by Drake Bay
and the Patriots go on top twenty to seven with
seven forty six to play here in the third quarter.
Thank you Wes Wood one for the highlight that we
could play this morning. Uh, you know, that was like
the first time I got to sit down and like
(12:04):
watch an entire Drake May game and find out what
the hype was all about. And do you know who
he reminded me of Sam Darnold. Oh, why, he's exactly
that way. Really yeah, like accurate throws and really good
with ball fakes and and getting rid of the football,
and he's kind of climbed to the top of the
MVP conversation as well in just his second year. It
(12:26):
was supposed to be a mismatch, and eventually it did
prove to be. After allowing the Jets to score on
the opening drive of the game. The Patriots defense stiffened.
Treveon Henderson scored three touchdowns and route to a twenty
seven to fourteen win. The Pats the first team to
nine wins this season. Meanwhile, the two and eight Jets,
believe it or not, had their two game winning streaks.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Now that's all right, we're still on our We've still
got five possible.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Just holding out for your five and a half.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, I just need to get them to the number.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I don't think you're gonna get there. Yeah, probably no, Yeah,
I think you're gonna fail falls show.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Do you think those uniform Okay, so I was gonna
say those.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I liked them.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I liked them. But here's the one problem.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
It kept making me think of the Colts uniforms, just
a more muted Colt uniform, and so I was getting
a little thrown off.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
But I liked I liked them. I liked the I
liked the helmets, the white helmet.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
They were very similar to the Buffalo alter turnout.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, there's more all white too.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I think there's a little lighter.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Oh okay, they looked exactly like the Hermston Bulldogs powder
puff uniforms.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Powder you guys have powder puff in Illinois. Yeah, girls.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
We did think the girls played a football game before
during homecoming week, so I take a unis. They were
very pretty back in nineteen ninety three, and they looked
pretty yesterday too.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Vintage NFL Week number eleven will start at six thirty Sunday.
It'll be Washington taking on Miami. That's the last game
being played in Europe this season, thank goodness. The early
game Tampa Bay Buffalo at ten o'clock is going to
be a terrific one. If there's one and listening that
doesn't want to watch Seahawks Rams, there is a good
(14:03):
alternative Chiefs and Broncos. And then Sunday night it will
be Detroit at Philadelphia. So a great, great slate coming
up on Sunday. College football. Huskies are gonna host the
Purdue boiler Makers the Fighting Cliff Averrils on Saturday at
four o'clock. Cam Cleland was on with US Wednesday. I
(14:23):
asked him whether this one's in.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
The bag we should worry about every game from here on.
Al gentlemen, I don't make guarantees at any point. I
think Perdue's got some good players. I certainly have watched
the film. They are two and eight. They've been in
some situations. They have a couple of really good athletes.
They have to go on the road and play in
Husky Stadium. I would like to see an angry Husky
football team. But then I don't know what Jonah Coleman
(14:46):
is gonna look like. But Ada Muhammad ran very well.
You don't know what Denzel's gonna look like. So that
means your wide receiver room is way down. Okay, if
he's done it. I mean we were talking way down
the offensive line. What's that gonna look like? All in
retrospect though, our defense played very well, so it did
some very very good things. Coach Walter's got these guys.
(15:07):
They look healthy. The concern now is how much can
DeMont take a game over and and be competitive versus
these last three games, because you got to win at home,
you got to go on the road, and then you
have your biggest game of the year against a very
very very good Oregon team.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Four pm.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Kickoff right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The Hanks will get it.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Started at noon, and you need to be checking out
the Hanks every week. Kug's are going to host Louisiana
Tech the Fighting Terry Bradshaw's at seven o'clock tomorrow night. Meanwhile,
the biggest games in college football this week in number
nine Notre Dame at number twenty two pit Go Pit,
number eleven, Oklahoma at number four, Alabama and number ten
(15:49):
Texas at number five. Georgia will provide a full Big
Ten preview of the weekend coming up at.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Eight forty five.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
College basketball, We've got the Apple Cup of the Hardwood
going down tonight and the Huskies are off to a
two and one start. The Cougars are off to a
one and two start with losses to Idaho and Davidson.
But you know about this rivalry. You can't let a
coug in the car.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
There's a cam cougar in the car. I don't lose
a cougar in the car. I put it in there.
You got to learn to drive with the fear. And
there ain't nothing more damn frightened than driving with a
live cougar in the car.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Where'd you get that thing?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I trapped it, been keeping it in my bathroom at
the motel, feeding an old pizza.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Now sucking that car you're making. I'm not getting in
that car. They listen to me.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
If you're calm, that wondrous big cat will be calm too.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
But if you're scared, that.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Beautiful death machine will do what God made it to do,
namely each you with a smile on his face.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
God, he's just following me wherever I go. Well, he's
just looking at you.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
So you're saying, if I just calm down, the cougar
will be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You got it. Yeah. I think the dogs will be
calm tonight.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, you just gotta be calm.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I think they'll be calm tonight. I don't think they're
gonna worry about having a koog in the car now.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Zag's at Arizona State tonight at eight o'clock as well.
The Kraken and the JITs played last night at Climate
Pledge Arena, and the Jets.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Were no match. Matty Beaneers back to Marshman in the circle?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
What's a hip check in the the best of cock gun?
Maddy Vaneers top of the right circle.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
He fights every down, roll.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Tick tack goal that captain, what's the cracking on top?
By a four to three score. Captain scored two goals.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Captain's got to say stuff, Yeah, Vince Dunn also had
a goal and two assists.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
That's Everett fits you on.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
The call last night right here on the flagship kja
R as the Krack and do win five to three.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
How about this is just an oddity.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Winnipeg has been involved in one overtime game this seasons.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
In the season right.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Kracking had been involved in eight already, we've played a
lot more hockey.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I don't think that's a good thing of the team.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I played that much more hockey than everybody else by
the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I would hope they balance it out throughout the season.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Lambert might just have to say, we'll just take the
point we don't want to play anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Yeah, overtime games.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Tomorrow night, the baby Face Sharks will be taking on
the Crack and at seven o'clock Climate Pledge Arena. The
last time we've faced those whiskerless youngsters, they whipped our
butts six to one, and so we got to settle.
Score to settle tomorrow night at Climate Pledge Arena. And finally,
I know millions have been wondering, well it's.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Here, Stove, Stove, What a kind of name is that?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, it's the name of the Hottest offseason Mariners podcast
we do around there. Andrews Hurst and I have our
first episode of Stove Out. It's fresh out then, so
if you want to check it out you can do so.
You can find it at ninety three to three KJR
dot com look onto the podcast section. We're just getting
started with the offseason and so Andrews and I just
(19:11):
getting started breaking it down all right, coming down next
here on the radio program, More on Seahawks Rams, more
on McDonald versus McVeigh, and this incredible micmatch up on
Mix Sunday Sports Radio ninety.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Three point three mickkjr.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Fmos handmade vodka your home for the NFL Sports Radio
ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
My job is to help design a plan and coach
the heck out of it with our guys and organize
it with our staff and so they can go play
great football and keep it simple and keeping our keeping
our wheelhouse and against anybody we play.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Shawn's a tremendous play caller. He is a great offensive coordinator.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
They got they got a great they have a great offense,
but they approach is the same every week.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Pig mcdo get ready to match with with Sean McVeigh
this Sunday. It is certainly one of the big battles
within the war that will take place, head coach versus
head coach, defensive genius versus offensive genius. Certainly, we've been
talking about it all week long, and we'll probably talk
about it a few more times for the show comes
(20:21):
to a close. After all, Hugh Millan and Mike Homeron
are going to join us in the nine o'clock hour.
Mike McDonald's been great, but I ask you, how good
is he at doing voice impersonations or entriloquism. Probably not great,
Probably not good at all.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Probably a hole in his game.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yeah, i'd probably see it's yes, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's probably that would be my thought.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So if you want to see somebody that's actually good
at that, unlike Mike McDonald, you know, Terry Fader was
named Vegas his best Talent. He's that America's Got Talent
winner and he's performing tomorrow night out at Talalap Resort Casino.
So urgency, they say that advertising always works with urgency.
Tomorrow Tomorrow, you got to get there or you're all
(21:02):
going to die. Saturday, November fifteenth. That's as much urgency.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
As I could really.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
That was good. I felt like, oh my god, I
gotta buy the tickets right now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, exactly November fifteenth to Laylap Resort Casino. Get tickets
at Ticketmaster and service fee free at t Laylap and
Quilcita Casino one Club desks. So Seahawks rams on Sunday.
The coaching matchup is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I think I'm hoping, I actually am. I'm hoping that
it's the beginning of many matchups between these two guys.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Once upon a time, not long ago, Sean McVay, even
at age thirty seven, was talking about stepping.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Away from the game.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
If you remember, he had an off season where they
went in thinking he was going to leave football, maybe
not permanently, but needed a break from it and had
to be talked into coming back and coaching some more.
And now he feels like he's it just feels like
he's returned to the top of the game and he
might be as good as anybody in the National Football League,
(21:59):
but it also feels like we've got a guy that's
gaining on him really fast in terms of that conversation,
and he's got along way, he hasn't doesn't have a
Super Bowl ring, and hasn't had time to win a
Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
But it does feel like we have the right guy,
the right guy.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
To fit in this division against the two offensive geniuses
that we go against four times a year and somebody
that has taken this Sea Hawk train and just went
full throttle in a very short period of time. So
maybe we don't have Sean McVay yet, but it feels
like we're going to have his equivalent very soon, if
not Sunday.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
What makes me feel like there's a lot of truth
and stuff like that is is how quickly and then
how consistently whichever one of the guys you want to
talk about, kind of gets the job done. I mean,
the reason that Mike McDonald got hired here was his
resume and what he had done in Baltimore. And yet
he shows up here and the first year he's trying
(22:55):
to get his feet underneath him and figure out the
ropes and you know, learning how to be a coach
for the first time. And yet it didn't take very long.
It was basically after the Ernest Jones move that he
all of a sudden just made that small, little tweak
to a roster that he inherited in large part. He
just made one little small tweak and all of a
sudden you started seeing the thing take off and look like, oh,
(23:17):
this is different. This is a defense that Seattle fans
and the twelves most certainly are used to watching, you know,
hearkening back to the Legion of Boom days, like that's
what the city loves seeing as a defense go out
there like that, And the same thing with McVeigh. It
doesn't really matter and Shanahan for that matter, I mean
Shanahan different quarterbacks or you know, all of a sudden
(23:40):
people get hurt and they still find a way to
get the job done. That to me is what kind
of puts a stamp on whether or not you're elite
when it comes to being one of those whether it's
a defensive minded guru or offensive genius, whatever you want
to call it, is if you can do it with
either an inherited roster that you get as a first
time guy, or when the turnover happens, like in mcveigh's situation,
(24:02):
where you're losing Hall of famers, or you have injuries
or you just lose things to the salary cap essentially,
and you all of a sudden, you know, your front
office has a part in good drafting and kind of
replenishing some of those things. But at the same time,
you just bring whatever you got, give me the recipes,
and they turn out to be a delicious meal at.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
The end of it.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, it does seem like McVeigh has managed no matter
who's left, no matter who's been injured, no matter what's happened.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
It's like they're just good. And I think, what is it.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Two years ago after they won the Super Bowl, I
remember thinking like, oh, okay, now they're you know, they
blew it all. Now they're gonna now they're gonna have
nothing the next year. And then they still managed to
find a way. And I was nervous last year when
we when McDonald wanted to get rid of the two
linebackers because I thought, oh, how's this relationship with Schneider
and McDonald gonna work, because clearly they're not fully on
(24:50):
the same page.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
But boy did they figure that out pretty quickly.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I think that's the most encouraging thing of it all. Yeah, like,
to me, the great head coaches, Yeah, they might have
one side of the ball that that's where they're known for.
That is their specialty. But the recognition that how to
fix the other side of the ball. I mean, Mike
Holmgeran talks about all the time. I had a great
(25:15):
team of the Packers. We didn't become a champion until
we got Reggie White. Like that recognition of the other
side of the ball has to be outstanding too. So
that ability to recognize I think Mike McDonald probably was
tiptoeing around John. You've done this before. You have a
championship ring as a general manager. I just started being
(25:36):
a head coach, and so I'm gonna let you buy
the groceries and then I'll make it work. And then
about but I think maybe like a week into spring training,
he's like, I don't think this is gonna work. Yeah,
he gets rid of his offensive coordinator. After just one year,
he gets rid of, as you mentioned, a couple of
linebackers before that half a season was over. And now
(25:58):
it feels like, Okay, I get what you need. And
I don't think Mike McDonald's shy about saying it. So, man,
you know, you can't just remain a defensive genius if
you're going to be a head coach at excellent head
coach if you're going to start being mentioned with McVeigh
and Shannon. Look what Shanahan did. Our defense slipped a
little bit. Sala is available again, get solid back here.
(26:20):
We were better with him, So there wasn't any ego
that got in the way of like he went on
to become a head coach and left us or whatever
it was.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
We were better with that guy. Let's go get that
guy back.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yah, And they have been excellent despite losing a lot
of defensive players star defensive players.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So I think that's it.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I think that it's we didn't just get a genius
that on defense. We got somebody that I think kind
of gets the whole program and has had time now
a year and a half into it to really sink
his teeth into everything. His hands are on everything, and
look how much better this team is right now versus
when he took it over.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
That was one thing that kind of you could kind
of feel it the first time we sat down and
got to talk to him. He just has a bit
of a like the air that comes across from a leader,
like just somebody that cause you got to be that.
Now we're super young to be jumping in at the
helm and running an entire NFL organization, and you know,
obviously there's people that are gonna have their doubts because
(27:19):
it's unknown yet that part of his resume didn't have
anything written on it. And yet he kind of comes
off with the idea of, no men are gonna follow me,
They're gonna follow what it is. Now you have to
put you know, your money where your mouth is, so
to speak, and the proof is in the pudding. But
I do think that he brings that to the table,
and I think that that just kind of is what
blankets the entire entire organization, is just this idea of
(27:43):
we're gonna do the process. We're gonna do it right.
He obviously had a plan. I don't think that John
Schneider replaces is looking to replace a guy like Pete Carroll,
a legend in this town, with somebody else, and just
like it's a coin toss whether or not he can
lead organization. I think he knew one hundred percent this
guy's a leader.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I think one of the greatest signs is that he
brings in these veterans who've been around the league, been
around coaches their entire lives and then they get here
and they're like, you're wanting me to do what? So
there's like this immediate like, man, that's different. And then
the next thing, you know, it's awesome what you're having
(28:20):
me do. And maybe he had a couple of good
linebackers last year, they didn't quite get that, and now
he seems to have everybody rolling in the right direction.
It is very exciting, very exciting for Seahawks fans everywhere
because I'm hoping this is just the start.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I'll tell you what, man, the New.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
York Giants have a coaching vacancy right now and they've
been floundering for years not getting a big name head coach.
And if I were them, I'd be like, I don't
care if you are under contract. I'm coming after one
of those three guys in the NFC West and I'm
gonna make them offer they can't refuse. Hopefully that's that's
not going to be an issue if for the Seahawks,
(28:58):
And frankly, I want to see McDonald versus McVeigh for
the next fifteen years, twenty years. I want to see
McDonald versus Shanahan for the next fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Years I think that's great for football. All right, coming
up next Big ten action this weekend.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
We always provide a preview Fridays at eight forty five
on Chuck and Bucks Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
All right, we've got Hu Milling coming up at the
top of the hour here on Chuck and Back Big
ten Preview. We always provide Fridays at eight forty five,
complete with how our pickups and our fantasy league, which
(29:34):
we will do at the end.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Here is your schedule.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Tonight at six o'clock, the eighth ranked Oregon Ducks host
the Minnesota Golden Gophers. And I'm telling you, Darius Taylor
is a heck of a talent, and for one play,
Oregon could be in trouble because that guy, Yeah, for
one carry and then he'll get injured. Of course, could
give them a lot of trouble for one carry.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All right, Well, I'm worried about that one carry.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, I'd be up to night. I would yeap one carry.
He's always good for one carry every three weeks. On Saturday,
nine o'clock, Indiana number two in the country, we'll host Wisconsin,
the Badgers trying to come off a win and make
it two in a row. Eighteenth rank Michigan will be
at Northwestern at nine o'clock. As well, twelve thirty kickoffs,
(30:22):
you've got number twenty one Iowa versus number seventeen US
at USA USC That will be in LA and it's
the only matchup this weekend in the Big Ten that
features two ranked teams.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Penn State's at Michigan State. Of course, we're all rooting
for the Lions, right.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I took him in fantasy or factor fiction this week,
so all rooting for Penn State, not just to win,
but to cover that seven and a half. Twelve thirty
also kickoff, Maryland will be at Illinois at four o'clock.
Will be the Dogs hosting the Purdue boiler Makers. Should
be a great bounceback opportunity for Jetfish and the hust
He's coming off that nightmarish loss in Madison, Wisconsin. But
(31:04):
as Cam Cleveland told us earlier this week, he's not
counting on anything at this stage, and so we shall
see how it all unfolds right here on kjar and
then the number one ranked team in the country will
play at four thirty. They are taking on the fighting
Jerry newheisls of UCLA. That will be on Saturday as well.
So there's your schedule for tomorrow, tonight, and tomorrow in
(31:26):
the Big Ten Conference, which leads us to our Big
Ten pickups. Chris Kidd is leading away. I will give
him the credit. I mean, he really drafted great. I mean,
Fernando Mendozo was a pick from heaven for kid. He
also got both the receivers Lemon from USC and Denzel Boston.
I mean he's made fewer pickups because he doesn't want
(31:48):
to break up his amazing roster that he drafted, but
he's also gotten some luck. He's got the only healthy
team he definite yeah, yeah. Does he ever get a
guy injured? I'm not worried about putting a voodoo hex
on your kid.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I hope, I do hope all four guys go down happens.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Toothaches between now and tomorrow. But he had the most
points last week with eighty five and a half. He
has eight hundred and two on the year.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Ashley, you're thirty one behind him in second place, Bucky
your forty one behind her in third place.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I am three behind you.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
So that's how the cookie crumbles in our standings, So
it's now time to make our pickups.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I have the first selection, and this is terrible for me.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I had every intention of getting rid of Omar Cooper,
but I've got one guy on By, and then I've
got Carnel Tait being an unknown, and I can't afford
any zeros. I certainly can't afford two zeros this week
with only three weeks left to play in the regular
season and being down nearly eighty points to Chris Kidd,
(32:51):
So I am going to have to do the unthinkable
and cut my best player, my MVP, Emmett Johnson, who
is on By this week, so I've got to let
him go, and I'm picking up Jordan Marshall, the young
running back of the Michigan Wolverine. So give me Marshall
and I am going to drop Emmett Johnson, and it
does pay me to do.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So You've been great, Emitt. Thanks for all the memories.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Wow all right, yeah, he has been great.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Kids to picking up Caleb colamafe of Northwestern, who he
had earlier in this year, and he's picking him back up.
And he's getting rid of ke Tron Allen, the running
back out of Penn State. So that leads us to Bucky. Bucky,
you do have Antoine Raymond out on Buy this week?
Are you going to make a pickup? Oh?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Man?
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Yeah, I don't want to drop him because he's been
great up at the top Nigo's fifth and the Nation
and rushing and.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
He's been he's been up there.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
But I too can't afford a zero seeing how I
might still get another zero from Elijah Sirot, who knows.
I've looked up all week whether or not he's going
to be healthy. He's day to day. That's what he's
been for two weeks. So that's fine, just keep staying
day to day. But if he plays, he plays, I can't.
I gotta take a chance with that versus just taking
a zero. I'm gonna drop Raymond, and I didn't think
(34:07):
he would drop boy k Tron Allen. That changes things?
Do pick up k Tron Allen? Or do I pick
up h Nicholas Singleton oil Boy.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
One line or the other? Yes? O man, as long
as they cover seven and a half, that's all I
care about.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Right, I'm gonna go ahead, excuse me, I'm gonna go
ahead and pick up Kateron Allen.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Okay, all right, Well he didn't. He didn't last very long.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
No, all right, k Tron Allen one pick later gets
picked up by Bucky and he drops Antoine, Raymond and Ashley.
You do have Nazaiah Hunter on buy from Nebraska? Are
you going to make a pickup?
Speaker 7 (34:48):
I was actually really tempted to. I am going to
drop Hunter. I was really tempted to just take the
zero and pick up Johnson.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
But I can't do it.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
I got a race to try to win. Okay, I
thought about it, really did, But I I am going
to drop Hunter. That's my flex, right, Yes, no, yes,
because I still have Yes, I'm good, and I am
going to pick up Hank Beatty from Illinois.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Oh yeah, Illinois. Yeah, everybody needs an Illinois kid. You
don't have Altmeyer, do you?
Speaker 4 (35:16):
No?
Speaker 5 (35:16):
I have?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
That's right, that's right, all right, all right, Hank Beatty
of Illinois is the pickup and dropping Nazaiah Hunter.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
All right, there you go.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
We are all set for the third to last weekend
of the college football season.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
So we got to make up some ground. We got
to take that kid down.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Yeah, he doesn't deserve this.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
He's just such a horrible person.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
He's always smiling and saying hi.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
All right.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Hume Melling next with X's and O's on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kh A r f M
It's time for THEO, the best twelve minutes of eight
minutes of radio. I'm brought to you by the rich,
complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey weather.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
But please drink responsibly.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
All right, Friday OCHO time here on check them back
in the morning. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Here on a football Friday. We've got a lot to
get to here this segment, and yes, we will get
to a lot of football. As a matter of fact,
I'm kind of touching a little bit flattered. I'm kind
of excited. I mean, I was a little worried that
(00:40):
I went to over the top with drafting this, but
now to find out my coworkers are like.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You have not gone far enough. I don't think you've
heard that correctly. Yeah, I thought barely sufficient is what
I heard. So now I might have racing with all
sorts of ideas for this. I've never heard this before,
but I think this is called wish for hearing. I'll
start next week. Maybe it's not about doing more, just
more of the year.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Does that mean I get to play holiday music starting
next week?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Okay, no, I'm in.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Before Christmas, all right, but yes, before we get to
the football, we are going to lead with Major League Baseball.
Last night, finally we were going to learn whether or
not cal Raley was going to be named the American
League Most Valuable Player. We've known four months it was
going to come down to either he or the centaur
(01:31):
known as Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. Judge
with all of the numbers overall offensively cal with the
historic sixty homer season from a switch hitter who plays
behind the plate and certainly has a lot more on
his plate. So who was going to win the award?
It ultimately came down to Aaron Judge taking it. He
(01:54):
got seventeen of the thirty votes for first place. Both
of them got all of the first or second place votes.
But it's Aaron Judge who ends up being your most
valuable player in any other year. Cal Raley is a
runaway winner in this category. But he admitted afterwards that
(02:14):
he lost to a really great candidate.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean to you know, what, what was gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
But you know, obviously very well deserving. Uh you know,
he's a great player, and you know it was the tyras.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The tyrase cow Raley man a few words, I will
say this. I mean, we've talked about this a lot.
I don't think that there was a bad decision to
make because I think both of these guys in any
other year are running away with the most value.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
They're not even having to share votes. They're a unanimous choice.
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
If it was Cal versus show A, Cal would I
think get every single vote because the discrepancy that show
A offensively did versus what Cal did wasn't nearly as great.
And show A as a pitcher, pretty much his pitched
two or three every game, and so I think Hal
would have beaten show Ay. Maybe not unanimous, but in
(03:06):
any normal year he's a unanimous runaway winner. Unfortunately they
had to go up against one another here in this
American League race.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Yeah, I think they got it wrong. And it's not
taken away from Judge. I just think that's there's things
that you just can't quantify that were missed by unfortunately
three too many people. I mean, you know, obviously there's
they're all looking into it and trying to make the
right decision, and wherever they came, that's their opinion. It's
(03:35):
just unfortunate that seventeen of them had the wrong opinion,
and so you're entitled to your opinion, but you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
I just think it's as I said earlier, the idea
that the complete package that Cal has to work with
every single day is more difficult, more of a test
for him every single day than what Aaron Judge had
to do.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And I think more of that should have been accounted for.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
I know it doesn't have just an easy stat to
look at in a column, but it should have been
weighed as.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Important as the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
This is the heart of this conversation and this debate.
Every single person, I promise you that voted for this
took the vote seriously. They have done a job of
meeting out the people that weren't taking it seriously. So
everybody took it seriously, and everybody did factor in everything
else that's on the plate for Cal Raley versus everything
(04:33):
else that's on the plate for Aaron Judge, and the
gap certainly favored Cal considerably. But the gap offensively the
numbers overall numbers, not just home runs and RBI also
was a considerable gap. I mean it was two hundred
points of ops. I mean, there's a two hundred point
ops difference between Julio Rodriguez and Miles master Bony for
(04:55):
goodness sake, and think about that stark contrast of player.
So we believe that that gap, that cow's gap overlaps
Aaron Judge's offensive gap.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
That's what we believe, and I think we're right.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But seventeen out of thirty voters didn't think it made
up the difference in the offensive gap.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's it. That's that's the that's the bottom line to
this vote.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Yeah, yeah, And I guess my bottom line that I
will die on this hill is they don't They're wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They just don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
They don't they as while I know that they did
their due diligence and they take it seriously, they don't
know how big of a difference that is. It's not
that they didn't recognize it. I guarantee if you asked
any one of them, is there a difference between what
col brings to the table when he's on the other
side when they're doing playing defense, is they're oh, substantial?
(05:51):
And then yet seventeen of them said not enough to
overcome the substantial difference, which I automatically and anybody with
the brain would say, yeah, there's a substantial difference in
the offensive numbers outside of the RBIs and home runs,
and yet it's just it's just to me, it's not
even a contest between the two. I mean, I understand
that it's close because of how spectacular judges offensive numbers work,
(06:15):
but it's just I sit and think about all that,
Like what Ashley's talking about, and you've brought up many
times while we've been talking about it all years, since
this conversation started halfway through the year.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It just is it's it hails.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
In comparison in my opinion, just considering all of the
things that he does and the beating that he takes
to be able to put up these numbers, and it's historic.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
And that's that is the thing, right there, is that everybody,
even in the priest show leading up to the awards,
kept referring to cal season as an his historic season.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
This is historic. Look at all the things he accomplished.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
And then it's like an MLB even put out look
all listed all of the things on their Twitter account
that Cal accomplished in his historic season, but he's still
didn't win.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, yeah, they got it wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, Cal and Julio were both named All MLB last
night as well.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Julio first team All Major League Baseball last night. Brian
Wu Andres Munno's name to the second team as well.
So certainly Cal Raley had it was the year of Cal.
I know he didn't end up winning the Most Valuable Player.
I know he didn't end up getting to the World Series,
but man, if he can top that season, wow, we're lucky.
(07:29):
But well, wow, I issue you a challenge. Caleb Raleigh
the third.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well, good luck to it. Judges.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Judges topped the season that he just won MVP with
like two out of the three years prior to this,
So I mean it's he's going to be this guy.
And I wouldn't have wanted Cal to get it because
somebody thought, well, this is his best chance it'd ever
get one. I just think playing and simple, he had
a better year in the in the entirety, and yet
they gave it to Judge and Judges are deserving candidate.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
There's no doubt about it. He's unbelievable. Yeah, they both
were phenomenal, but Cal was better.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Seahawks Rams play on Sunday man what a game this is.
I mean, obviously the cal Rawley vote being the number
one story must be quite the story if we're not
leading on a football Friday with seven and two versus
seven and two for first place in the division. Greg
Bell was with us one hour ago and he gave
(08:30):
us his key to the game.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Sam Donald.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Is he human in that? Is he going to come
out and say I need to prove myself to myself
against this team that just bludgeoned me to end my
Vikings tenure last January. It's only been ten months. The
last time he's been on that field. He got sacked
nine times and was just a hot mess and the
Vikings went from fourteen to two to out of the
(08:53):
playoffs in one night. Is Donald truly what he says
and what he's shown so far? This poise unflappable and
every game is saying nothing fazes me guy. Or is
he going to be a little extra and forcing things
a little bit more to show these guys don't have me.
He's got to play within himself and not force things.
(09:15):
He's got to get rid of the ball and be
willing to just throw the chuck the ball out of
bounds and getting pressured if they get to them, the
Rams are susceptible in the secondary. If the Seahawks with
Gray's abelm and friends can keep mc donald from being
rushed and being pressured into making choices before he wants to,
the Seahawks have big plays coming in this ram secondary.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
How close was that to your key? Close? Yeah? Close?
Yeah I did, Greg. We'll copy in my papers.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Rise on your own paper, guy, Uh, I mean, Mine's
just it really that how quick you got to make
those decisions. And yet you that's such a double head
sword because you make it too terribly quick, and you're
we're going to be talking about on Monday that he
was forcing balls into places and yet if he holds
on to it, holds on to it too long, then
that's another mistake that you could make.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What a match, my goodness, what a fun Sunday we
got in store for us. Kickoff's going to be at
one o'clock, and I think it is worth noting. I
mean this, as Hugh pointed out yesterday in the roundtable,
as big a game as this is, it's still not
like some sort of make or breakdown. We can still
come back and win the division with a loss. They
(10:30):
can still come back and win the division with a loss.
You can they either one of these teams with a
loss can end up with a number one seed for
goodness sake in the entire NFC playoffs. So but but
for game number ten of the year, this is about
as big a game Number ten of the year as
the Seahawks have ever played.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
I saw in the four letters they said, could the
winner of this game automatically jump to be the Super
Bowl favorite?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I think they will.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I think right now they're number one and two in
the power rankings, right they are? Yeah, stay so yeah,
whoever wins is going to go to number one, that's
for sure. But Seahawks should have Ernest Jones, should have
Cooper Cupp, should have Gray Zabel, even though he's popped
up on the injury report. Greg even told us an
hour ago they might even have Josh Job available to
add to that depth in the secondary. Meanwhile, DeVante Adams
(11:18):
did practice for the Rams but was limited yesterday. We'll
talk more about it coming up later this hour and
with Hugh and Coach in the nine o'clock hour. Thursday
Night Football last night featured a really crappy matchup This.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Sturned out to be a solid drive for the Patriots
under eight minutes to play in the third quarter. Pro
set in the backfield with digsback there, May out of
the gun, looks left.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Pro's left for the back of the hands one pot.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Henderson kept his beat in balves his third store of
the nights a seven yard touchdown passed by Drake Bay
and the Patriots go on top twenty to seven with
seven forty six to play here in the third quarter.
Thank you Wes Wood one for the highlight that we
could play this morning. Uh, you know, that was like
the first time I got to sit down and like
(12:04):
watch an entire Drake May game and find out what
the hype was all about. And do you know who
he reminded me of Sam Darnold. Oh, why, he's exactly
that way. Really yeah, like accurate throws and really good
with ball fakes and and getting rid of the football,
and he's kind of climbed to the top of the
MVP conversation as well in just his second year. It
(12:26):
was supposed to be a mismatch, and eventually it did
prove to be. After allowing the Jets to score on
the opening drive of the game. The Patriots defense stiffened.
Treveon Henderson scored three touchdowns and route to a twenty
seven to fourteen win. The Pats the first team to
nine wins this season. Meanwhile, the two and eight Jets,
believe it or not, had their two game winning streaks.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Now that's all right, we're still on our We've still
got five possible.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Just holding out for your five and a half.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, I just need to get them to the number.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I don't think you're gonna get there. Yeah, probably no, Yeah,
I think you're gonna fail falls show.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Do you think those uniform Okay, so I was gonna
say those.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I liked them.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I liked them. But here's the one problem.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
It kept making me think of the Colts uniforms, just
a more muted Colt uniform, and so I was getting
a little thrown off.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
But I liked I liked them. I liked the I
liked the helmets, the white helmet.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
They were very similar to the Buffalo alter turnout.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, there's more all white too.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I think there's a little lighter.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Oh okay, they looked exactly like the Hermston Bulldogs powder
puff uniforms.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Powder you guys have powder puff in Illinois. Yeah, girls.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
We did think the girls played a football game before
during homecoming week, so I take a unis. They were
very pretty back in nineteen ninety three, and they looked
pretty yesterday too.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Vintage NFL Week number eleven will start at six thirty Sunday.
It'll be Washington taking on Miami. That's the last game
being played in Europe this season, thank goodness. The early
game Tampa Bay Buffalo at ten o'clock is going to
be a terrific one. If there's one and listening that
doesn't want to watch Seahawks Rams, there is a good
(14:03):
alternative Chiefs and Broncos. And then Sunday night it will
be Detroit at Philadelphia. So a great, great slate coming
up on Sunday. College football. Huskies are gonna host the
Purdue boiler Makers the Fighting Cliff Averrils on Saturday at
four o'clock. Cam Cleland was on with US Wednesday. I
(14:23):
asked him whether this one's in.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
The bag we should worry about every game from here on.
Al gentlemen, I don't make guarantees at any point. I
think Perdue's got some good players. I certainly have watched
the film. They are two and eight. They've been in
some situations. They have a couple of really good athletes.
They have to go on the road and play in
Husky Stadium. I would like to see an angry Husky
football team. But then I don't know what Jonah Coleman
(14:46):
is gonna look like. But Ada Muhammad ran very well.
You don't know what Denzel's gonna look like. So that
means your wide receiver room is way down. Okay, if
he's done it. I mean we were talking way down
the offensive line. What's that gonna look like? All in
retrospect though, our defense played very well, so it did
some very very good things. Coach Walter's got these guys.
(15:07):
They look healthy. The concern now is how much can
DeMont take a game over and and be competitive versus
these last three games, because you got to win at home,
you got to go on the road, and then you
have your biggest game of the year against a very
very very good Oregon team.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Four pm.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Kickoff right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The Hanks will get it.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Started at noon, and you need to be checking out
the Hanks every week. Kug's are going to host Louisiana
Tech the Fighting Terry Bradshaw's at seven o'clock tomorrow night. Meanwhile,
the biggest games in college football this week in number
nine Notre Dame at number twenty two pit Go Pit,
number eleven, Oklahoma at number four, Alabama and number ten
(15:49):
Texas at number five. Georgia will provide a full Big
Ten preview of the weekend coming up at.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Eight forty five.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
College basketball, We've got the Apple Cup of the Hardwood
going down tonight and the Huskies are off to a
two and one start. The Cougars are off to a
one and two start with losses to Idaho and Davidson.
But you know about this rivalry. You can't let a
coug in the car.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
There's a cam cougar in the car. I don't lose
a cougar in the car. I put it in there.
You got to learn to drive with the fear. And
there ain't nothing more damn frightened than driving with a
live cougar in the car.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Where'd you get that thing?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I trapped it, been keeping it in my bathroom at
the motel, feeding an old pizza.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Now sucking that car you're making. I'm not getting in
that car. They listen to me.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
If you're calm, that wondrous big cat will be calm too.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
But if you're scared, that.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Beautiful death machine will do what God made it to do,
namely each you with a smile on his face.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
God, he's just following me wherever I go. Well, he's
just looking at you.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
So you're saying, if I just calm down, the cougar
will be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You got it. Yeah. I think the dogs will be
calm tonight.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, you just gotta be calm.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I think they'll be calm tonight. I don't think they're
gonna worry about having a koog in the car now.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Zag's at Arizona State tonight at eight o'clock as well.
The Kraken and the JITs played last night at Climate
Pledge Arena, and the Jets.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Were no match. Matty Beaneers back to Marshman in the circle?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
What's a hip check in the the best of cock gun?
Maddy Vaneers top of the right circle.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
He fights every down, roll.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Tick tack goal that captain, what's the cracking on top?
By a four to three score. Captain scored two goals.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Captain's got to say stuff, Yeah, Vince Dunn also had
a goal and two assists.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
That's Everett fits you on.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
The call last night right here on the flagship kja
R as the Krack and do win five to three.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
How about this is just an oddity.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Winnipeg has been involved in one overtime game this seasons.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
In the season right.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Kracking had been involved in eight already, we've played a
lot more hockey.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I don't think that's a good thing of the team.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I played that much more hockey than everybody else by
the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I would hope they balance it out throughout the season.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Lambert might just have to say, we'll just take the
point we don't want to play anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Yeah, overtime games.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Tomorrow night, the baby Face Sharks will be taking on
the Crack and at seven o'clock Climate Pledge Arena. The
last time we've faced those whiskerless youngsters, they whipped our
butts six to one, and so we got to settle.
Score to settle tomorrow night at Climate Pledge Arena. And finally,
I know millions have been wondering, well it's.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Here, Stove, Stove, What a kind of name is that?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, it's the name of the Hottest offseason Mariners podcast
we do around there. Andrews Hurst and I have our
first episode of Stove Out. It's fresh out then, so
if you want to check it out you can do so.
You can find it at ninety three to three KJR
dot com look onto the podcast section. We're just getting
started with the offseason and so Andrews and I just
(19:11):
getting started breaking it down all right, coming down next
here on the radio program, More on Seahawks Rams, more
on McDonald versus McVeigh, and this incredible micmatch up on
Mix Sunday Sports Radio ninety.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Three point three mickkjr.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Fmos handmade vodka your home for the NFL Sports Radio
ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
My job is to help design a plan and coach
the heck out of it with our guys and organize
it with our staff and so they can go play
great football and keep it simple and keeping our keeping
our wheelhouse and against anybody we play.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Shawn's a tremendous play caller. He is a great offensive coordinator.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
They got they got a great they have a great offense,
but they approach is the same every week.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Pig mcdo get ready to match with with Sean McVeigh
this Sunday. It is certainly one of the big battles
within the war that will take place, head coach versus
head coach, defensive genius versus offensive genius. Certainly, we've been
talking about it all week long, and we'll probably talk
about it a few more times for the show comes
(20:21):
to a close. After all, Hugh Millan and Mike Homeron
are going to join us in the nine o'clock hour.
Mike McDonald's been great, but I ask you, how good
is he at doing voice impersonations or entriloquism. Probably not great,
Probably not good at all.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Probably a hole in his game.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yeah, i'd probably see it's yes, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's probably that would be my thought.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So if you want to see somebody that's actually good
at that, unlike Mike McDonald, you know, Terry Fader was
named Vegas his best Talent. He's that America's Got Talent
winner and he's performing tomorrow night out at Talalap Resort Casino.
So urgency, they say that advertising always works with urgency.
Tomorrow Tomorrow, you got to get there or you're all
(21:02):
going to die. Saturday, November fifteenth. That's as much urgency.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
As I could really.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
That was good. I felt like, oh my god, I
gotta buy the tickets right now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, exactly November fifteenth to Laylap Resort Casino. Get tickets
at Ticketmaster and service fee free at t Laylap and
Quilcita Casino one Club desks. So Seahawks rams on Sunday.
The coaching matchup is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I think I'm hoping, I actually am. I'm hoping that
it's the beginning of many matchups between these two guys.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Once upon a time, not long ago, Sean McVay, even
at age thirty seven, was talking about stepping.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Away from the game.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
If you remember, he had an off season where they
went in thinking he was going to leave football, maybe
not permanently, but needed a break from it and had
to be talked into coming back and coaching some more.
And now he feels like he's it just feels like
he's returned to the top of the game and he
might be as good as anybody in the National Football League,
(21:59):
but it also feels like we've got a guy that's
gaining on him really fast in terms of that conversation,
and he's got along way, he hasn't doesn't have a
Super Bowl ring, and hasn't had time to win a
Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
But it does feel like we have the right guy,
the right guy.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
To fit in this division against the two offensive geniuses
that we go against four times a year and somebody
that has taken this Sea Hawk train and just went
full throttle in a very short period of time. So
maybe we don't have Sean McVay yet, but it feels
like we're going to have his equivalent very soon, if
not Sunday.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
What makes me feel like there's a lot of truth
and stuff like that is is how quickly and then
how consistently whichever one of the guys you want to
talk about, kind of gets the job done. I mean,
the reason that Mike McDonald got hired here was his
resume and what he had done in Baltimore. And yet
he shows up here and the first year he's trying
(22:55):
to get his feet underneath him and figure out the
ropes and you know, learning how to be a coach
for the first time. And yet it didn't take very long.
It was basically after the Ernest Jones move that he
all of a sudden just made that small, little tweak
to a roster that he inherited in large part. He
just made one little small tweak and all of a
sudden you started seeing the thing take off and look like, oh,
(23:17):
this is different. This is a defense that Seattle fans
and the twelves most certainly are used to watching, you know,
hearkening back to the Legion of Boom days, like that's
what the city loves seeing as a defense go out
there like that, And the same thing with McVeigh. It
doesn't really matter and Shanahan for that matter, I mean
Shanahan different quarterbacks or you know, all of a sudden
(23:40):
people get hurt and they still find a way to
get the job done. That to me is what kind
of puts a stamp on whether or not you're elite
when it comes to being one of those whether it's
a defensive minded guru or offensive genius, whatever you want
to call it, is if you can do it with
either an inherited roster that you get as a first
time guy, or when the turnover happens, like in mcveigh's situation,
(24:02):
where you're losing Hall of famers, or you have injuries
or you just lose things to the salary cap essentially,
and you all of a sudden, you know, your front
office has a part in good drafting and kind of
replenishing some of those things. But at the same time,
you just bring whatever you got, give me the recipes,
and they turn out to be a delicious meal at.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
The end of it.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, it does seem like McVeigh has managed no matter
who's left, no matter who's been injured, no matter what's happened.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
It's like they're just good. And I think, what is it.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Two years ago after they won the Super Bowl, I
remember thinking like, oh, okay, now they're you know, they
blew it all. Now they're gonna now they're gonna have
nothing the next year. And then they still managed to
find a way. And I was nervous last year when
we when McDonald wanted to get rid of the two
linebackers because I thought, oh, how's this relationship with Schneider
and McDonald gonna work, because clearly they're not fully on
(24:50):
the same page.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
But boy did they figure that out pretty quickly.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I think that's the most encouraging thing of it all. Yeah, like,
to me, the great head coaches, Yeah, they might have
one side of the ball that that's where they're known for.
That is their specialty. But the recognition that how to
fix the other side of the ball. I mean, Mike
Holmgeran talks about all the time. I had a great
(25:15):
team of the Packers. We didn't become a champion until
we got Reggie White. Like that recognition of the other
side of the ball has to be outstanding too. So
that ability to recognize I think Mike McDonald probably was
tiptoeing around John. You've done this before. You have a
championship ring as a general manager. I just started being
(25:36):
a head coach, and so I'm gonna let you buy
the groceries and then I'll make it work. And then
about but I think maybe like a week into spring training,
he's like, I don't think this is gonna work. Yeah,
he gets rid of his offensive coordinator. After just one year,
he gets rid of, as you mentioned, a couple of
linebackers before that half a season was over. And now
(25:58):
it feels like, Okay, I get what you need. And
I don't think Mike McDonald's shy about saying it. So, man,
you know, you can't just remain a defensive genius if
you're going to be a head coach at excellent head
coach if you're going to start being mentioned with McVeigh
and Shannon. Look what Shanahan did. Our defense slipped a
little bit. Sala is available again, get solid back here.
(26:20):
We were better with him, So there wasn't any ego
that got in the way of like he went on
to become a head coach and left us or whatever
it was.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
We were better with that guy. Let's go get that
guy back.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yah, And they have been excellent despite losing a lot
of defensive players star defensive players.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So I think that's it.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I think that it's we didn't just get a genius
that on defense. We got somebody that I think kind
of gets the whole program and has had time now
a year and a half into it to really sink
his teeth into everything. His hands are on everything, and
look how much better this team is right now versus
when he took it over.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
That was one thing that kind of you could kind
of feel it the first time we sat down and
got to talk to him. He just has a bit
of a like the air that comes across from a leader,
like just somebody that cause you got to be that.
Now we're super young to be jumping in at the
helm and running an entire NFL organization, and you know,
obviously there's people that are gonna have their doubts because
(27:19):
it's unknown yet that part of his resume didn't have
anything written on it. And yet he kind of comes
off with the idea of, no men are gonna follow me,
They're gonna follow what it is. Now you have to
put you know, your money where your mouth is, so
to speak, and the proof is in the pudding. But
I do think that he brings that to the table,
and I think that that just kind of is what
blankets the entire entire organization, is just this idea of
(27:43):
we're gonna do the process. We're gonna do it right.
He obviously had a plan. I don't think that John
Schneider replaces is looking to replace a guy like Pete Carroll,
a legend in this town, with somebody else, and just
like it's a coin toss whether or not he can
lead organization. I think he knew one hundred percent this
guy's a leader.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I think one of the greatest signs is that he
brings in these veterans who've been around the league, been
around coaches their entire lives and then they get here
and they're like, you're wanting me to do what? So
there's like this immediate like, man, that's different. And then
the next thing, you know, it's awesome what you're having
(28:20):
me do. And maybe he had a couple of good
linebackers last year, they didn't quite get that, and now
he seems to have everybody rolling in the right direction.
It is very exciting, very exciting for Seahawks fans everywhere
because I'm hoping this is just the start.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I'll tell you what, man, the New.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
York Giants have a coaching vacancy right now and they've
been floundering for years not getting a big name head coach.
And if I were them, I'd be like, I don't
care if you are under contract. I'm coming after one
of those three guys in the NFC West and I'm
gonna make them offer they can't refuse. Hopefully that's that's
not going to be an issue if for the Seahawks,
(28:58):
And frankly, I want to see McDonald versus McVeigh for
the next fifteen years, twenty years. I want to see
McDonald versus Shanahan for the next fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Years I think that's great for football. All right, coming
up next Big ten action this weekend.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
We always provide a preview Fridays at eight forty five
on Chuck and Bucks Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
All right, we've got Hu Milling coming up at the
top of the hour here on Chuck and Back Big
ten Preview. We always provide Fridays at eight forty five,
complete with how our pickups and our fantasy league, which
(29:34):
we will do at the end.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Here is your schedule.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Tonight at six o'clock, the eighth ranked Oregon Ducks host
the Minnesota Golden Gophers. And I'm telling you, Darius Taylor
is a heck of a talent, and for one play,
Oregon could be in trouble because that guy, Yeah, for
one carry and then he'll get injured. Of course, could
give them a lot of trouble for one carry.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All right, Well, I'm worried about that one carry.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, I'd be up to night. I would yeap one carry.
He's always good for one carry every three weeks. On Saturday,
nine o'clock, Indiana number two in the country, we'll host Wisconsin,
the Badgers trying to come off a win and make
it two in a row. Eighteenth rank Michigan will be
at Northwestern at nine o'clock. As well, twelve thirty kickoffs,
(30:22):
you've got number twenty one Iowa versus number seventeen US
at USA USC That will be in LA and it's
the only matchup this weekend in the Big Ten that
features two ranked teams.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Penn State's at Michigan State. Of course, we're all rooting
for the Lions, right.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I took him in fantasy or factor fiction this week,
so all rooting for Penn State, not just to win,
but to cover that seven and a half. Twelve thirty
also kickoff, Maryland will be at Illinois at four o'clock.
Will be the Dogs hosting the Purdue boiler Makers. Should
be a great bounceback opportunity for Jetfish and the hust
He's coming off that nightmarish loss in Madison, Wisconsin. But
(31:04):
as Cam Cleveland told us earlier this week, he's not
counting on anything at this stage, and so we shall
see how it all unfolds right here on kjar and
then the number one ranked team in the country will
play at four thirty. They are taking on the fighting
Jerry newheisls of UCLA. That will be on Saturday as well.
So there's your schedule for tomorrow, tonight, and tomorrow in
(31:26):
the Big Ten Conference, which leads us to our Big
Ten pickups. Chris Kidd is leading away. I will give
him the credit. I mean, he really drafted great. I mean,
Fernando Mendozo was a pick from heaven for kid. He
also got both the receivers Lemon from USC and Denzel Boston.
I mean he's made fewer pickups because he doesn't want
(31:48):
to break up his amazing roster that he drafted, but
he's also gotten some luck. He's got the only healthy
team he definite yeah, yeah. Does he ever get a
guy injured? I'm not worried about putting a voodoo hex
on your kid.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I hope, I do hope all four guys go down happens.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Toothaches between now and tomorrow. But he had the most
points last week with eighty five and a half. He
has eight hundred and two on the year.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Ashley, you're thirty one behind him in second place, Bucky
your forty one behind her in third place.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I am three behind you.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
So that's how the cookie crumbles in our standings, So
it's now time to make our pickups.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I have the first selection, and this is terrible for me.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I had every intention of getting rid of Omar Cooper,
but I've got one guy on By, and then I've
got Carnel Tait being an unknown, and I can't afford
any zeros. I certainly can't afford two zeros this week
with only three weeks left to play in the regular
season and being down nearly eighty points to Chris Kidd,
(32:51):
So I am going to have to do the unthinkable
and cut my best player, my MVP, Emmett Johnson, who
is on By this week, so I've got to let
him go, and I'm picking up Jordan Marshall, the young
running back of the Michigan Wolverine. So give me Marshall
and I am going to drop Emmett Johnson, and it
does pay me to do.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So You've been great, Emitt. Thanks for all the memories.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Wow all right, yeah, he has been great.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Kids to picking up Caleb colamafe of Northwestern, who he
had earlier in this year, and he's picking him back up.
And he's getting rid of ke Tron Allen, the running
back out of Penn State. So that leads us to Bucky. Bucky,
you do have Antoine Raymond out on Buy this week?
Are you going to make a pickup? Oh?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Man?
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Yeah, I don't want to drop him because he's been
great up at the top Nigo's fifth and the Nation
and rushing and.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
He's been he's been up there.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
But I too can't afford a zero seeing how I
might still get another zero from Elijah Sirot, who knows.
I've looked up all week whether or not he's going
to be healthy. He's day to day. That's what he's
been for two weeks. So that's fine, just keep staying
day to day. But if he plays, he plays, I can't.
I gotta take a chance with that versus just taking
a zero. I'm gonna drop Raymond, and I didn't think

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
