Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where we go as part of our relentless coverage of
the NFL. I'm the proud right and then on your
home for the twelfth Man, proudly precidd the Washington State
Beef Commissions Football Friday, probably brought to you by the
Washington Beef Farmers and Redgers Beat.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's What's for Dinner.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Football Friday is on with Sathi and Dick on Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
All right, boys and girls, we are back on a
Washington State Beef Commission Football Friday right here on ninety
three to three kjr FM. We're hanging out until seven
o'clock today. I got a lot to get to on
the show Man, a couple of open segments to kind
of kick things around, but a lot scheduled. Tod Ajt
the Brick, our old pal from sports Fan radio back
in the day, has been working on the Raiders. I
(00:48):
had no idea. For twenty seven years now, he's been
with the Raiders. They're pre and postgame host. Till join
us at three point thirty. Ria Hughes from Sports Radio
WIP in Philadelphia, Ji Halsell from ESPN d C. Jeremy
White from Buffalo Serren Petro from Kansas today and Hugh
Millin from Laurel Hurst will join us by the way
(01:09):
at five o'clock tonight and talk about everything happening today
in the NFL. But man, it's just so funny how
you wake up and something that you never thought was
remotely possible is possible. The head coach at USC is
now the head coach of the Seahawks and takes the
Seahawks to their first Lombardi Championship. The Sonics moved to
Oklahoma City and Pete Carroll. If I would have told
you three or four years ago that.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Pete Carroll, I feel sorry, Frus would be the.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders one day at
the age of seventy four years old. Man, it's amazing,
and I'm glad that Pete Carroll is back in the NFL.
And here's the thing, guys, Pete Carroll even had this
conversation today and I totally agree with him and more.
I don't think Pete Carroll is a borderline Hall of Famer.
I actually think Pete Carroll's already in the Hall of Fame.
I think if Pete Carroll decided I'm done I think
(01:54):
one day the writers would see the light and they
would put him in the Hall of Fame. But he
is now coaching in Vegas, I think to be a
lock for the Hall of Fame. You know, he's seventeenth
all time and wins right now. I mean, he's going
to be top fifteen, top twelve, thirteen easily by the
time it's all Seiden does.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
He needs sixteen wins to be top ten, right, top ten,
you're in done finished, right, So he's literally if he's
got a three year contract, he needs to win six
games a year for three years and then they fire
him and he's in the top ten and wins. I mean,
he doesn't even have to be good in Vegas to
be to be in the Hall of Fame. Now, if
he is good in Vegas, that just I mean, he
(02:32):
takes him to the playoffs in any one.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Of these three years. Slam dunk.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well, you got you got three guys, four guys that
are coaching in front of him that are still active
in the top fifteen. One of them is obviously Andy Reid,
so forget him. But Mike Tomlin's getting close from the
top ten. Mike McCarthy's getting close to the top ten.
John Harbaugh's getting close to the top ten. The difference is,
obviously is at Pete Carroll's seventy four. Mike Tomlin's twelve
(02:56):
years old, so he's going to be a run for
a long time. But I gotta be honest with you,
and I kind of was surprised at my own reaction
this morning when I saw that news that Pete Carroll
was going to become the coach of the Raiders. I'm
fired up. I'm excited for him, I'm excited for Raider fans.
I'm excited for the NFL. I saw your tweet, Jackson,
how we don't play them until next year A twenty
twenty six and it's down there in Las Vegas. How
(03:18):
many Seahawks fans that probably were looking forward to going
to that game anyway because it's in freaking Vegas are
now going to be looking to go just because of
Pete Carroll and raise.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I have already planned it out, and one of my
wife's best friend is a Raider fan. We've all now
suddenly made plans of even if the Sounders planned Saturday
will fight on Sunday morning, We're gonna make it happen.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
We'll see you in Vegas. Well, the first the first
thing I thought was are we going to do our
show there? I mean serious.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
The first thing I thought was Friday and Monday in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And we go to the game on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Well, it depends on where the Huskies are. I guess
for me, I mean, you guys can go. I could
stay back and do the Husky game. But I mean, look,
I mean, this is just it's not supposed to be
this way. You're not supposed to get this fired up
for a former player or former coach going somewhere else.
The last time they did, the Packers did, for sure.
The last time I was this pumped up for a
former Seattle sports figure was when Griffy went to Cincinnati
(04:11):
and I was pulling for him in Cincinnati. I was heartbroken.
Then he laughed, no question about it. I know you
were kind of mad at him, but I totally get that.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
By the time he came back here as a member
of the Reds, I was totally well.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I was actively pulling for him when he played in Cincinnati.
Like the first year, I was actively pulling for him
because remember when he went to Cincinnati, I think he
was two home runs away from four hundred. He had
three ninety eight his first trip of duty in Seattle,
and then five hundred came, and then six hundred. All
the big numbers came in Cincinnati, and that pissed me off.
But I'm pulling for the guy. I hope he does well.
I think the NFL is better off with him in it.
(04:44):
I was on with JT's show about two hours ago,
and I think, I mean, you'd tell me if you
disagree instant culture change for the Raiders, right like, we'll
see if the guy can still schematically scheme it up
a little bit on defense and what he does at quarterback.
He's going to need a quarterback. He's got no quarterback
down there at all to speak of right now. No
disrespect to Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell, but the guy
needs a quarterback. His coaching staff is going to be
(05:06):
chock full of X Seahawks, you know that. Don't be
surprised if a guy like kJ Wright ends up going
with him to Vegas. He's already on the Niners staff
for crying out loud. I would not be surprised if
Richard Sherman somehow, some way, helped him out. And now
there's this rumor, or not really rumor, but take going
around the internet, and it's funny how this stuff comes
out on days like today, Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson
(05:27):
have patched things up. Really, when did we know that?
So all of a sudden, Today of all day is
the day that Pete Carroll becomes the go to the Raiders.
The narrative that Russell Wilson may join him in Vegas
is accompanied by a report that they've patched thing.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I didn't. I didn't buy that. I didn't know what
he is.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I don't think Russell Wilson is going to be the
quarterback of the of the Raiders.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I don't think. I don't think Pete Carroll wants to
deal with that. There is just too much baggage there
for Pete Carroll to have to have to deal with him.
Plus it's not like Russell's a great quarterback anymore. He's
barely a good quarterback anymore. But you know, I wanted
him to go originally, I want him to go to
Chicago because of Caleb Williams. I was like, well, he's
got his young quarterback. I want to see him do
with Caleb Williams what he was able to do here
(06:09):
with Russell Wilson. But then I thought, well, wait a second,
I'd be taking away a playoff spot from my team.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So maybe this is the best of both worlds.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Pete gets another shot and you want him to do well,
and you can actually root for him because Pete's success
doesn't hamper you from getting to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Well, the thing about Russell Wilson, and I would agree
with the player. I do wonder if he looks at
a guy like a Russell Wilson, if Russell would agree
to it and say, Okay, I want you to come
in here to mentor somebody because they're not ready I
think in Vegas to play a rookie quarterback. Are they
with the rest of their team. I haven't looked at
their offensive line and all that, but they don't seem
(06:48):
to be like where the Seahawks were when Russell showed up, obviously,
so they're going to need some kind of a veteran.
And this is what I told JT. And we can
talk about this with him next segment. How often, and
I don't know what happens behind the scenes, Nobody does.
How often did you hear Pete Carroll grind an axe
or hold a grudge in publish, whether Richard Sherman or
(07:10):
Russell Wilson or anybody you know, when he didn't draft
Taylor Mays and he took Earld Thomas over Taylor Mays
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
He has done a marvelous job of not.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Burning bridges even when people go after him, even when
he gives or excuse me, people give him a reason
to go after them. He's taken the high road every
single time. Every time, and again, I would probably generally,
Dick agree.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
With you on the Russell thing. I would leave a
little bit fifteen to twenty percent for something like that
to happen.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Well, certainly because of the quarterback situation he's in right now.
It's his absolute hell. I mean, anything is better than
the quarterback That was the worst quarterback situation going into
the year, and it was probably the worst quarterback situation
coming out of the year, was in Vegas. But you
stole the words right out of my mouth. As far
as the phrase the high road, I mean, that is
what peak care does. Pete Carroll gets crapped on, crapped
(08:03):
on crapped on by players, they talk bad whatever, and
then he takes the high road, he cuts them, he
gets rid of him, and guess what they always do,
four or five, six years later, they all come running
back to Pete Carroll because they just love Pete Carroll.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
They come back to his coaching staff, they come back
to the organization, and like we said, he's gonna take
people from the Seahawks. I mean the question is how
many and who are they? Are they current players? I
know there's now this thought that maybe if Gino Smith
gets let go, that maybe he would end up in
Vegas with Pete Carroll be perfect, you know, front office personnel.
There's no question he'll take some front office personnel from
(08:36):
the Seahawks. I mean, again, this is gonna impact the Hawks,
right how negatively down the road, I don't know, maybe
really nothing when it's all said and done, it might
be a big nothing burger. But he's gonna poach people.
There's no question, Jackson, he will poach people from the Hawks.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
I just don't think many. I mean, it's just such
a different regime now from when you was.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Just here a year ago.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yeah, but Jackson's right, it's well, yeah, but I'm talking
about like office people, support staff people, not just coaches.
You'll just forget about it because they're all brand new. Maybe,
but he's gonna bring people. He'll bring he might bring
cat people with him. Who knows man totally.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We'll see. I mean, I don't know how.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I think a lot of the front office people are
John's people, and that would surprise me if people left
John to be with Pete given the idea that now
John has more power than he used to have, and
then trickles down people say, Okay, now I have more
of an ear in the Seahawks facility. So I don't
think I don't, I will say, really quickly quickly to
go back to it.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I think that the.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Raiders quarterback situation got to be the worst in the NFL,
But it wasn't horrifying at the start of the year. Minsh,
you had a broken collarbone? What halfway through the year?
I will say, also, that isn't there like a ninety
nine point percentage chance that Ashton gent goes to the
Raiders that sixth?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Overall?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
YE tell me that Pete Carroll, mister, I want to
run the ball, Run the ball, run the ball. Tell
me he is not going to take the Boise State
legend at the sixth pick.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Come that's that screams, yeah, pick well. I mean he's
if he's got the line, you know. I mean, you
saw what happened to Jenny is they went further and
further in the playoff that you know, he just wasn't
the holes weren't there. Right, whatever he might he might,
but here's the thing about Gardner Minshew. Gardner Minshew is
not the guy that's gonna get Pete Carroll where he
needs to go. He knows that the dudes on his
(10:17):
fourth team, by the way, in six years, right, there's
a reason why Gardner Minshew is bouncing around the NFL.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But I'm fired up for him.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Man.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm kind of as an old AFC West guy, and
you're right there with me, Dick. You might be two
young Jackson, remember the you know, Raider Buster days and
the Bronco Busters and the Chargers and the Chiefs, and
you're supposed to hate all those teams. I mean, you
got Harbaugh and Carroll back together now in the old
in the AFC West when they hated each other's guts
in the NFC West. I love that the age of
(10:47):
the coaches in the AFC West compared to the age
of the coaches in the NFC West. I mean it's
like the Grandpa League versus the Junior League. Now, it's interesting, Jackson.
Do you even have a shred of hatred towards the Raiders?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
None? Zero?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
And do you even think of the Raid is a
proud historic franchise that.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Part I do just because I'm just as I know football.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
You don't know them as a winning franchise in your lifetime,
which is so bizarre because we grew up with the
Raiders are the evil Empire.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Al Davis is the guy with the black hat. We
don't like him. The Raiders always win.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
They usually beat us, and we beat us, and when
we beat them, it's just unbelievable. So it has taken
probably twenty five thirty years and twenty years of not
being in their division to kind of erase that from
my memory bank.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
I just know them as the team with the weirdest
looking owner in all of sports, Mark Davis.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, that guy is great. Ye unusual.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Well, you know, they haven't won a playoff game in
twenty three years. The Raiders haven't since they lost it
beat the Cowboys, though Cowboys want to playoffs. The Cowboys
beat us, the Cowboys get the Seahawks. But they haven't
won a playoff game in twenty three years. They haven't
won They they've won ten games or more twice in
those twenty three seasons, and they finished in last place
like fifteen times during that run.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I mean, they're terrible. They're absolutely terrible. I think locally.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
The other question besides where does he take from the Seahawks,
if anything, is is Brandon Carroll going with him?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I mean the offensive line coach for the Huskies. And look,
I'm not saying he's gonna go. I'm not saying he's
not gonna go. I just think the idea of totally
dismissing it is insanity. He's his son, for God's sakes.
I would work with him before he was his run
game coordinator in two thousand. Did he have like four
kids on the staff at one point?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Carroll?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Seriously, I think it is I would assume he would
go with him. Yeah, I'm more than fifty percent confident
that he will go with him, right. I mean it's
not like Brandon Carroll runs the offense for Washington. I
mean if Brandon Carroll ran the offense for Washington and
then took a lesser job with the Raiders than I'd
be like, that probably isn't gonna happen. But if he
gets like a lateral move position wise, right, I think
(12:50):
he takes it.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, I think he does take it because I think
all guys simply put just strive to get back into
the NFL. Look, I mean, it's it's obviously an upgrade.
You're not deal within the NIL and recruiting and all
that nonsense and kids going to class and you know
girls and everything, and you know Dayton blah blah blah.
It's it's a total different story. So I think this
is where it really does affect you, Dub, and it
(13:11):
affects the Seahawks to trickle down effect of Pete Carroll
going to the Raiders and getting a head coaching job.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What does that mean for the Dogs? What does it
mean for the Seahawks?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Is Jed Fish gonna have to go fight another coordinator
when he just had to replace Steve Belichick. I mean,
obviously you know it's not March, but it's also not
December either. I mean a lot of these jobs have
been filled already, So I'm curious to see what Brendan
Carroll does to go work for his dad. But I'm
also already curious to get the reaction. Dick on the
text line, like, are people are they happy Pete Carroll's back?
(13:41):
Are they pissed off that he's back? Are you mad
that he's going to the Raiders. We talked about this
on the Year of the Year day, about whether or
not if Pete Carroll took the Niner job, what the
reaction would be. I think Dick and I both said, look,
he got fired, he can do whatever the hell he wants, right,
you got the reaction will be different. You were gonna
throw a fit if he took the Niner job. N
This is different though, because it's not the conference. It's
(14:01):
not a rival anymore. It used to be a rival
back in the day. But I wonder how Seahawks fans react.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
I mean, I can understand if you're fifty plus years
old and you still have a hate us. Yeah, But
I mean, but like I said, it's taken me two
and a half decades to kind of get rid of
the hatred for the Raiders, right, And I've spent more
time feeling sorry for the Raiders in the last two
decades than I have hating the Raiders. Yes, and I
actually like the Raiders when Gruden was there, because I
really like John Gruden.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So there was a couple of years I actually rooted
for the Raiders to win.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And now they're not even in our conference and so hey, Pete,
have at it, get the number one seed.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We'll see in the playoffs. I don't have a hatred
for the Raiders anymore either, and that's sad. It is sad.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I mean, we we spent so many hours as kids
back in the day developing a deep seated hatred for
the Oakland Raiders.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Every bit hatred is the forty nine ers has been asked,
and now it's gone. I want it back. I want
it back.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I mean, can you.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Imagine Raiders Seahawks and the Super Bowl Pete Carroll versus
Mike McDonald. I mean, that's so far down the road,
it's almost ridiculous to even.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Talk about how the teams get a quarterback trade for
Gino Smith though, uh yeah, I think my reaction to
that that that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I mean, I mean, you just want him out of here. Well,
I don't think they trade for him. I think if
Gino got well, they could trade for him and restructure
his deal exactly. And if they cut him, then he
definitely would be a candidate to end up in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I mean, we know what he thinks of Gino Smith.
What would Gino? We know what Gino thinks of Pete Carroll?
What would Gino get on the trade market? I was
gonna say a third rounder, fourth round draft pick. I
don't know which says it all? You want your quarterback?
Give us a third Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I don't know, man, I just I just love this.
I love that he's back in the NFL. I love
that he's going to the fricking Raiders. I love that
he's in Vegas. For God's sakes, he's going to work
with a spy tech guy who knows how much authority
he's going to have. We'll talk to j T about
all that next. But we got a lot to get to, man.
I fun with Audio, JT the Brick. We're gonna have
to Philadelphia, DC at four, and then we're gonna head
(15:58):
to Buffalo and Kansas City at sex. Hugh Millen is
going to join us as well, coming up at five. O'clock,
his thoughts on Pete Carroll taking the Vegas job.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Bobby Slowick, who a.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Year ago at this time was one of the hot
commodities and the hot head coaching candidates in the NFL,
has been fired by the Houston Texans, while Ben Johnson,
who was right there with him last year along with
it was those three McDonald, Johnson and Bobby Slowick. Two
of them have head coaching jobs and the other guy
just got whacked. It's almost kind of reminds me of
what happened to Eric b Enemy when he was a
(16:29):
big hot candidate and then he kind of fell apart,
didn't He just get fired by Ucla. By the way, too,
was gonna get Ucla.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But the Enemy never called plays at campus, so he
never did.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Different never did. But these guys are calling plays and
now they're available. So we'll ask you at five, do
we want Bobby Slowick to be the offensive coordinator? Should
John Schneider kind of pump the brakes on Clint Kobiak
and Dinsky and maybe go after the kid that just
got let go by Houston.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
We'll get huge thoughts on that.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
J T.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
The Brick is in Vegas. He's now covering Pete Carroll.
That's right, you heard that right. You're just tuning in
right now. Pete Carroll is the new head coach of
the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
I feel sorry for us.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
We'll talk to JT about it next on ninety three
three KJRFM.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Now back to the Washington State Beat Commissions Football Friday
with Sati and Dick on your home for the NFL
Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FL.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
All right, busy, busy Friday here on ninety three to
three KJRFM. Before we get to our next guest, you
may have heard the big news Pete Carroll going to
the Vegas Raiders to be the coach in Vegas. And
before we get to our next guest, who's about to
cover him in Las Vegas, let's go back Nick to
August twentieth of last year.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Pete Carroll on.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
This radio show, talking to me and Doug Baldwin asked
the question do you or do you not want to
coach again in the NFL?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
I guess a lot, so I'm pretty familiar with the
answering that I could coach tomorrow. I mean, I'm physically
in best ship in a long time. I'm ready to
be ready to do all the activities that I'm doing
and feeling really good about it. I could, I don't,
but I don't. Really I'm not desiring it, you know
at this point, and this isn't the coaching season. You know,
(18:13):
we'll see what happens. I'm not really I'm not waiting
on it at all. I'm going ahead. I got other
things that I don't want to do that I'm excited about,
and let's see how all that goes. Well.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
One of those things was coaching a class at USC,
which apparently I guess he's going to keep doing.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Is the coach of the Raiders. I mean, why not?
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Man?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
But joining us right now in the program pre and
postgame for the Raiders. I've been hosting the Coaches Show
on TV Mad Dog Radio twenty seven years with Vegas
and the Raiders are Old Pal JT the brick JT.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
How are you Pal?
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Hello? Guys. Great to be on with you today. Big
day in Vegas. We're hoping to get some of that
Seattle success out here in Sin City.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, what's the reaction? Tell us down there?
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Reactions great? I mean he was one or one a
the whole you know Tom Brady came in and Tom
Brady's taking big swings. We fought down here maybe forty
eight hours ago, two three days ago that Ben Johnson
was target number one. They're going after Ben Johnson, and
Tom Brady kind of cleared everybody out. He fired the GM,
Tom to leasco which no one expected. Obviously, Antonio Pierce
(19:20):
was let go as the head coach, and he did
a nice job. The team was beset with injuries, lost
ten in a row this year, so we know what
happens when that happens to a coach. But you know,
after Ben Johnson decided to go to Chicago, it was
one or one A and Pete Carroll that's the guy
that a lot of people wanted here. We needed a
veteran head coach with a rookie GM that's coming in here,
(19:44):
and I think it's a great fit. And Pete Carroll
goes back to the Bay Area, moor In County, Pacific
and all that and was in college when the Raiders
were great, and we just hope it's a good fit.
We hope a couple of years from now the Raiders
are competing to win championships, because that's why he was
brought in.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
JT is Mark Davis just kind of a silent controlling
owner of the Raiders now and he's letting Tom Brady
kind of run things.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
No, I wouldn't go there. He's not silent, he's very active.
He just knows what he doesn't know. And he wanted
to bring in Tom Brady as a minority owner who
bought a nice chunk of the team. I mean ten
percent of the team is big. And then two other
smaller minority owners spent a lot of money and bought
seven point five and seven point five. So if you
(20:29):
add up to twenty five percent of the Raiders that
was sold recently and approved by the NFL owners at
the owners meeting, Mark is raising cash which he doesn't need.
Because one thing, guys, that has changed since the last
time I was up there and on with you guys.
We always played Seattle in the preseason when I came
up there, is now we're one of the richest teams
in the NFL, one of the most successful financial teams
(20:52):
in the NFL. This thing is hemorrhaging cash in a
good way, I mean making a ton of money. And
now the issue is Mart's got a win and It's
been a while. It's been twenty plus years since the
Raiders made the playoffs and won a playoff game, going
back to the Super Bowl appearance in two thousand and three,
and since then, Seattle's had a ton of success. So
(21:14):
all the coaches who had their shot, they were.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
All good men.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
They all said the same thing coming in that they
wanted to win. And now it's Pete Carroll's turn. But
at least he can walk on the field and look
Andy Reid, Sean Payton, and Jim Harbaugh in the eyes
and say I beat all of you. Yeah, I beat
all of you before, and I'm going to try to
do it again.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Well, JT the bricks with us in Vegas. Pete Carroll
new coach of the Raiders. John Spytech is the new GM.
So this is now the second time that Pete Carroll
has been hired as a head coach and brought in
at the same time as a new GM, because he
came in with John Schneider in twenty ten. But it
was Pete's show. I mean, they hired Pete before they
(21:53):
hired the general manager. This time around, apparently they hired
spi Tech before they got to Pete. Who's in charge.
Does Pete have the authority like you had in Seattle?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
You think, yeah, I think Pete's gonna have a lot
of command of this team. And again Tom Brady's going
to be involved. But as you guys know, Brady's a broadcaster.
Brady can't be at the games. You know, he can't
be at the games. He can't be at you know,
the practice is involved. There's certain ramifications and rules with him.
And Pete has been doing this and has the Gravi
toss to run this team. Now, spy Tech's really interesting
(22:25):
because he comes from Tampa and he was a big
part of the architect of the Brady super Bowl in
Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield coming in and the team's
been really good the last couple of years, and he
was the next GM in waiting, So real happy to
get him because it seems like he was choice number one.
He was the GM that they wanted. Really easy to
make the connection, guys, because he played college football with
(22:48):
Brady at Michigan.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Well, we know that the Raiders is only going to
go so far as their quarterback takes them, and you
know Pete could minimize the damage at quarterback by the
way he runs his offense and he's such a good
defensive co But what do you think this team is
going to do a quarterback because it doesn't seem like
the status quo is going to work.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Have to get a quarterback that you have to get one,
there's no way around it. So the Raiders have the
six pick in the first round. Is that good enough
to get should or Sanders or cam Ward if you
like him? Probably not. You got to trade up. The
Raiders couldn't trade up to get Jaden Daniels last year,
who had a really good friendship with Antonio Pierce, the
coach at that time. And we got Brock Bauers that
(23:26):
had one of the greatest seasons in the history of
the NFL at tight end. And the pick before was
Bo Nicks and Michael Pennix went to Atlanta and the
Raiders didn't expect that to happen. So whatever the Raiders do,
they have to get an elite quarterback. And they can
get a veteran quarterback Sam Darnold. You could go down
the road of Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers or a
(23:47):
Kirk Cousins. I don't think because he didn't look good
at the end here. But they've got to take a
quarterback high, park them and let Pete Carroll develop them
with his staff, so the Raiders have a franchise quarterback
of the future. That's the problem. Derek Carr was here
for nine years. We didn't win a playoff game with
Derek Carr. We had to move on from him. We
(24:08):
gotta get a young stud quarterback no matter what.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Well, Russell Wilson's a free agent. He's not young, and
he's not a stud, but he could be a guy
that could sit there and babysit somebody. Is the idea
of bringing Russell into Vegas at least for a year
or two? Stupid or what?
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Well? Last year, if you heard my show, that's all
I said. I tell you I don't get many things
right all the time, but when I do, I'll tell
you I was screaming for the Raiders to get Baker
Mayfield for thirty million total. Russell Wilson was a million dollars.
DeVante Adams was getting one point one million a game
and he wanted out. We could have got Russell Wilson.
So if Russ was here last year, he would have
(24:44):
been here for a year already. I'm not saying the
Raiders would have went to the playoffs, but they would
have been vastly improved. If Russell Wilson walked on that field,
or Aaron Rodgers or Sam Donold, with Max Crosby and
some of the players that they have, they'd be instantly
four or five games better. Think they'd be a you know, seven, eight,
nine win team in Pete's first run there, and maybe
(25:04):
even better. Remember Jaden Daniels the Commanders before they got
him won four games last year. That's the program that
needs to be installed in Vegas. This isn't a five year,
ten year plan. Pete's got to turn this around really quick,
and we're hoping his energy, his staff and all the
combinations that he has with former players and coaches builds
(25:25):
a winner here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
How about a reunion with Pete Carroll and Gino Smith?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
How is you like that?
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Guys? I used to wickipedia Gino and remind people there
were years years where he didn't throw the ball, like
he had six attempts, like he was left for dead.
And Gino played well in Seattle, played very well. Good
quarterback four thousand yards blindfolded. You know someone like that
as an upgrade, and not that. Aidan O'Connell's a bad quarterback.
(25:54):
He got thrown into the fire. We had Gardner, Minshew,
Jimmy Garoppolo, Aidan O'Connell. You go back. Since Derek Carr,
it has been rough. But the quarterback is clearly the priority.
And if you think Brady swung big getting Pete Carroll
in Spy deck, Brady's got to step up and get
us a quarterback. That's the primary input of Brady, we
think going forward. Because no one sat down with Brady,
(26:17):
no one knows his vision, but everybody believes in him
because we need a winner here in Vegas. The Raiders
have played in five Super Bowls, won three, have had
some of the greatest players to ever play in this league,
and they have to turn it around. And Pete Carroll's
the answer.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
How long does Pete get JT. You give him a
year or two before you start busting his balls down there?
How long does the old.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Man get We're gonna give him as long as he wants.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Man.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
I got to remember, you guys can go back and
do the math I started in ninety eight. I think
this is I think this is my fifteenth head coach. Wow,
and I host all the shows and I sit down
with them. So I'll go through Tom Cable, Lane Kiffin.
The list goes on and on coaches you haven't even
heard of to this day. Hugh Jackson. I've sat down
(27:02):
in front of him and tried to get content out
of him. Antonio Pierce was fabulous to interview every week
on the Coaches Show. And if I get the opportunity
to do that with Pete, to kind of plug into
his energy, we'll do that in Vegas because everybody wants
to come to our stadium. Everyone wants to come to
Vegas for the Final Four for college football, for fights
in UFC. We need Raider Nation to explode the way
(27:25):
it did in Oakland and LA and get this team
back on track.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, you count the interim guys. You're right, it's fifteen dudes. Man,
I feel sorry for you for us fifteen guys. Nobody's
lasted more than three years.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Hey, give the old man a break, let him work
his magic and get the f out of the way.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
All right, man, we'll talk soon, buddy.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Thanks guys, appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Ey JT the brick with us on the show.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
We're gonna head to Philadelphia and we're gonna head to
DC at four for the Commanders and Eagles.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We'll do little fun with audio.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
How long does he get How long you think they
give him before they start getting after him down there?
Honestly a year or two year and a half, two
two years, two seasons.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Hearing JT it reminds me of when we ran Raider
football play by player that's right nine to fifty k JR.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Jackson, You remember that?
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Did you know?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Before we ran Raider games, we were the home of
the Oakland.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yes, because we had raiders. The what do you call it?
The what's the bus?
Speaker 4 (28:18):
The bus? What's the bus? We used to have that
was just the road hog road hog and had a
freaking raider logo on. I mean, how dumb were we
a radio station in Seattle driving around town with a
freaking raider. It was Tom Lee's idea, We're gonna put
the Raiders on kJ R. God Man, that was just
that guy had a lot of great ideas.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
That was not one of us. Another bad idea.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
We'll get a break fun with audio next on ninety
three to three kJ RFM.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
It's now time for someday in digs. Fun with audio
Jimmy g pawn Star Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
All right, we're gonna head to Philadelphia and DC uh
coming up next segment to find out about the Eagles
and Washington or the commanders in Philadelphia, however you want
to mix that up. That's what they up to you.
Ria Hugh is one of our favorites in Philadelphia. Well
join us. Coming up next, Semmering and then j I
hall Cell. Name another Ji besides j I hall Cell?
By the way, j I Ewing?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh wait, no, no, no, no, no, JR.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Ewing?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
You know who JR. Ewing is? Jackson God. It's just
amazing how much stuff he doesn't most popular television show
one of the all time.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah, well, I don't know, Massage it might be number
one all time?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Was his Mash The Mash finale the right I'm talking
about rated the most highly rated series.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Looking up on Wikipedia. We'll find out.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Let's get to it. So fun with audio slash. Hey
did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen to
hear that?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
What's that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
At the baseball Hall of Fame press conference yesterday in
cooper Stown, instroducing the class of twenty five. Each Hero
through his translator, Alan Turner, commenting on the one person
who did not vote for him to make the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Able to receive many votes from the writers and grateful
for them.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
There's one writer that I wasn't able to get a
vote from. I would like to invite him over to
my house and uh while I drink together and we'll
have a good chat. But very very grateful to be here.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
And thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
First of all, Alan Turner sounds like he needs a rica.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Well, I think Alan Turner's been translating a lot over
the last few days.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Number two, they should totally do this and do it.
Make it a pay per view event. Watch tonight on Netflix.
Is each Row and schmuck mcjackson sit down and discuss
why mcjackson did not vote for him for the Hall
of Fame Only on Netflix, and then it would kind
of dial down the volume and the rhetoric a little bit,
you know, maybe you kind of make light of it.
Whatever would you would you watch that if each ye
(30:53):
Row invited this guy over to his house for some
saki and they got together and they discussed why, and
each road tried to convince him he was wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Would you tune in for that?
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I think would be exactly like the last big Netflix
sports thing and the Tyson fight, And they were all
fired up about it, and then three rounds in we
were like, this is terrible.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Well, but the difference is Mike Tyson's eighty five years
old and fighting somebody, right, I mean, there's no physical
Maybe they.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Start fighting it. Dreel pins him down, what's his freaking knee?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Right in his throat and says, you watch something I
would I would pay to watch that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
All right, Dick? Did you happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Last night, the NBA on TNT crew revealed each player
voted into the NBA All Star Game. The players, according
to Ernie Johnson, were unknown to everybody, even their TV producers,
and would come as a surprise as they were announced.
But as he explained the reveal process, Ernie got some
pushback from Charles Barkley.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
So we'll start with the please after you announced the
first one, we'll talk about him, show some video, then
we'll do the.
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Second kind of like so the way you produced the
show so well, you just told thee what so you say,
he gonna name somebody and then we got to talk
about them. There you go put the video and then
I'm gon got to have a video reader, so you
have to tell somebody we have we have a video.
They just happen to have them ready because we know
that numbers, y'all man.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Good point.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I could buy that. You I got like twenty five
pads like hit a button. That's easy. Done, that's easy.
They don't need to buy time. I love Barkley just
fighting back on that show.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
May you hear the news they're gonna be on ESPN,
all of them together, by the way, next year.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It's awesome. That is really good, Harlan.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Maybe on Amazon, those guys might be on you think if,
like you know, we ever went away. People want to
know where they're going. Where are Softy, Dick and Jackson going.
They're doing a podcast, they going to mad Dog Radio,
They're going to Serious You people would care the three
of us. We're a team once once. If you quit tomorrow,
I'm done. I'm sure Dick retires.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I'm done.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Don't either do this together or not at all? Right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Daniel Jeremiah joining the Pat McAfee show yesterday and breaking
down the positives and potential negatives of drafting Apple Obama
quarterback Jalen Milroe.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
You get to Alabama and you watch Milrow, he just
you want him to be good, so bad because everything
you hear he's a great kid. He's freaking jacked. He's
a big, strong, physical kid. He can run like crazy,
and just like, can you just take the next steps
as a passer, just the traits like you he's seen
that go sideways as of late when you just kind
of go all in on traits and you know, some
(33:22):
of the quarterbacking stuff isn't there, and you're like, okay,
well just that's gonna come. Sometimes it doesn't, So that's
gonna be what. You know, He's a little bit of
an enigma, but somebody will do it. He's going to
go on day two just because the tools are so interesting.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, he's electrifying whenever he's playing great. Yeah, and that
is certainly something you would like to bet on. Potential
and potential get your ass fired, you know, but potential.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
Yeah, I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I just don't get it, man. Did they not watch
him play?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I mean I realized that you know, all the traits
and stuff, and you know the build is there. He's
gonna go to the combine and maybe blow people away.
But I mean, the guy starts the year off with
eight touchdowns and no against Western Kentucky. I say, Kentucky,
Western Kentucky, South Florida, Wisconsin, and the rest of the
way through eight touchdowns and eleven interceptions in the final
(34:11):
you know, nine games of the year and look bad too,
like overthrowing guy, throwing behind guys, drilling balls.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
In the dirt. I mean, are you are you seeing
something else? He intrigues me a lot. That's a first
round pick.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
No, But that's the point that people are talking about
him being like top ten.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
Of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Although if you told me today that the Seahawks traded
down three times, got extra picks and took Jalen Milroe
with the twenty eighth pick in the first round, I
mean the dude had twenty three touchdowns and six interceptions
and ran for five hundred and thirty one yards the
year before Kaitlyn Debora got there. I get it, man,
I just I was intrigued. I'm not telling you he's
going to be a star.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
He is in tree.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Would you spend a first three and a half pick
on Jalen Milroad even now? Maybe later on, like late
in day two? Potentially I could absolutely see that first
round pick when your offensive lines as pissed poor as.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Its bad what I just told you? How many how
many picks are you getting for what I just mentioned?
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I don't know, man, I just.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Told the offensive lineman, can you get that for the
deal that I just mentioned?
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I get down twice, but.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
You still might be pissing away a first runner and
a guy that can't throw.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't know, dude.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Maybe you're right, Dick, but I'm just not seeing it
at all with this guy.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
All Right, we're gonna break.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
We're gonna head to Philadelphia and DC Eagles Commanders for
the NFC Championship next on ninety three three KJRFM
Where we go as part of our relentless coverage of
the NFL. I'm the proud right and then on your
home for the twelfth Man, proudly precidd the Washington State
Beef Commissions Football Friday, probably brought to you by the
Washington Beef Farmers and Redgers Beat.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's What's for Dinner.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Football Friday is on with Sathi and Dick on Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
All right, boys and girls, we are back on a
Washington State Beef Commission Football Friday right here on ninety
three to three kjr FM. We're hanging out until seven
o'clock today. I got a lot to get to on
the show Man, a couple of open segments to kind
of kick things around, but a lot scheduled. Tod Ajt
the Brick, our old pal from sports Fan radio back
in the day, has been working on the Raiders. I
(00:48):
had no idea. For twenty seven years now, he's been
with the Raiders. They're pre and postgame host. Till join
us at three point thirty. Ria Hughes from Sports Radio
WIP in Philadelphia, Ji Halsell from ESPN d C. Jeremy
White from Buffalo Serren Petro from Kansas today and Hugh
Millin from Laurel Hurst will join us by the way
(01:09):
at five o'clock tonight and talk about everything happening today
in the NFL. But man, it's just so funny how
you wake up and something that you never thought was
remotely possible is possible. The head coach at USC is
now the head coach of the Seahawks and takes the
Seahawks to their first Lombardi Championship. The Sonics moved to
Oklahoma City and Pete Carroll. If I would have told
you three or four years ago that.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Pete Carroll, I feel sorry, Frus would be the.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders one day at
the age of seventy four years old. Man, it's amazing,
and I'm glad that Pete Carroll is back in the NFL.
And here's the thing, guys, Pete Carroll even had this
conversation today and I totally agree with him and more.
I don't think Pete Carroll is a borderline Hall of Famer.
I actually think Pete Carroll's already in the Hall of Fame.
I think if Pete Carroll decided I'm done I think
(01:54):
one day the writers would see the light and they
would put him in the Hall of Fame. But he
is now coaching in Vegas, I think to be a
lock for the Hall of Fame. You know, he's seventeenth
all time and wins right now. I mean, he's going
to be top fifteen, top twelve, thirteen easily by the
time it's all Seiden does.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
He needs sixteen wins to be top ten, right, top ten,
you're in done finished, right, So he's literally if he's
got a three year contract, he needs to win six
games a year for three years and then they fire
him and he's in the top ten and wins. I mean,
he doesn't even have to be good in Vegas to
be to be in the Hall of Fame. Now, if
he is good in Vegas, that just I mean, he
(02:32):
takes him to the playoffs in any one.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Of these three years. Slam dunk.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well, you got you got three guys, four guys that
are coaching in front of him that are still active
in the top fifteen. One of them is obviously Andy Reid,
so forget him. But Mike Tomlin's getting close from the
top ten. Mike McCarthy's getting close to the top ten.
John Harbaugh's getting close to the top ten. The difference is,
obviously is at Pete Carroll's seventy four. Mike Tomlin's twelve
(02:56):
years old, so he's going to be a run for
a long time. But I gotta be honest with you,
and I kind of was surprised at my own reaction
this morning when I saw that news that Pete Carroll
was going to become the coach of the Raiders. I'm
fired up. I'm excited for him, I'm excited for Raider fans.
I'm excited for the NFL. I saw your tweet, Jackson,
how we don't play them until next year A twenty
twenty six and it's down there in Las Vegas. How
(03:18):
many Seahawks fans that probably were looking forward to going
to that game anyway because it's in freaking Vegas are
now going to be looking to go just because of
Pete Carroll and raise.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I have already planned it out, and one of my
wife's best friend is a Raider fan. We've all now
suddenly made plans of even if the Sounders planned Saturday
will fight on Sunday morning, We're gonna make it happen.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
We'll see you in Vegas. Well, the first the first
thing I thought was are we going to do our
show there? I mean serious.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
The first thing I thought was Friday and Monday in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And we go to the game on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Well, it depends on where the Huskies are. I guess
for me, I mean, you guys can go. I could
stay back and do the Husky game. But I mean, look,
I mean, this is just it's not supposed to be
this way. You're not supposed to get this fired up
for a former player or former coach going somewhere else.
The last time they did, the Packers did, for sure.
The last time I was this pumped up for a
former Seattle sports figure was when Griffy went to Cincinnati
(04:11):
and I was pulling for him in Cincinnati. I was heartbroken.
Then he laughed, no question about it. I know you
were kind of mad at him, but I totally get that.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
By the time he came back here as a member
of the Reds, I was totally well.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I was actively pulling for him when he played in Cincinnati.
Like the first year, I was actively pulling for him
because remember when he went to Cincinnati, I think he
was two home runs away from four hundred. He had
three ninety eight his first trip of duty in Seattle,
and then five hundred came, and then six hundred. All
the big numbers came in Cincinnati, and that pissed me off.
But I'm pulling for the guy. I hope he does well.
I think the NFL is better off with him in it.
(04:44):
I was on with JT's show about two hours ago,
and I think, I mean, you'd tell me if you
disagree instant culture change for the Raiders, right like, we'll
see if the guy can still schematically scheme it up
a little bit on defense and what he does at quarterback.
He's going to need a quarterback. He's got no quarterback
down there at all to speak of right now. No
disrespect to Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell, but the guy
needs a quarterback. His coaching staff is going to be
(05:06):
chock full of X Seahawks, you know that. Don't be
surprised if a guy like kJ Wright ends up going
with him to Vegas. He's already on the Niners staff
for crying out loud. I would not be surprised if
Richard Sherman somehow, some way, helped him out. And now
there's this rumor, or not really rumor, but take going
around the internet, and it's funny how this stuff comes
out on days like today, Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson
(05:27):
have patched things up. Really, when did we know that?
So all of a sudden, Today of all day is
the day that Pete Carroll becomes the go to the Raiders.
The narrative that Russell Wilson may join him in Vegas
is accompanied by a report that they've patched thing.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I didn't. I didn't buy that. I didn't know what
he is.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I don't think Russell Wilson is going to be the
quarterback of the of the Raiders.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I don't think. I don't think Pete Carroll wants to
deal with that. There is just too much baggage there
for Pete Carroll to have to have to deal with him.
Plus it's not like Russell's a great quarterback anymore. He's
barely a good quarterback anymore. But you know, I wanted
him to go originally, I want him to go to
Chicago because of Caleb Williams. I was like, well, he's
got his young quarterback. I want to see him do
with Caleb Williams what he was able to do here
(06:09):
with Russell Wilson. But then I thought, well, wait a second,
I'd be taking away a playoff spot from my team.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So maybe this is the best of both worlds.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Pete gets another shot and you want him to do well,
and you can actually root for him because Pete's success
doesn't hamper you from getting to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Well, the thing about Russell Wilson, and I would agree
with the player. I do wonder if he looks at
a guy like a Russell Wilson, if Russell would agree
to it and say, Okay, I want you to come
in here to mentor somebody because they're not ready I
think in Vegas to play a rookie quarterback. Are they
with the rest of their team. I haven't looked at
their offensive line and all that, but they don't seem
(06:48):
to be like where the Seahawks were when Russell showed up, obviously,
so they're going to need some kind of a veteran.
And this is what I told JT. And we can
talk about this with him next segment. How often, and
I don't know what happens behind the scenes, Nobody does.
How often did you hear Pete Carroll grind an axe
or hold a grudge in publish, whether Richard Sherman or
(07:10):
Russell Wilson or anybody you know, when he didn't draft
Taylor Mays and he took Earld Thomas over Taylor Mays
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
He has done a marvelous job of not.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Burning bridges even when people go after him, even when
he gives or excuse me, people give him a reason
to go after them. He's taken the high road every
single time. Every time, and again, I would probably generally,
Dick agree.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
With you on the Russell thing. I would leave a
little bit fifteen to twenty percent for something like that
to happen.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Well, certainly because of the quarterback situation he's in right now.
It's his absolute hell. I mean, anything is better than
the quarterback That was the worst quarterback situation going into
the year, and it was probably the worst quarterback situation
coming out of the year, was in Vegas. But you
stole the words right out of my mouth. As far
as the phrase the high road, I mean, that is
what peak care does. Pete Carroll gets crapped on, crapped
(08:03):
on crapped on by players, they talk bad whatever, and
then he takes the high road, he cuts them, he
gets rid of him, and guess what they always do,
four or five, six years later, they all come running
back to Pete Carroll because they just love Pete Carroll.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
They come back to his coaching staff, they come back
to the organization, and like we said, he's gonna take
people from the Seahawks. I mean the question is how
many and who are they? Are they current players? I
know there's now this thought that maybe if Gino Smith
gets let go, that maybe he would end up in
Vegas with Pete Carroll be perfect, you know, front office personnel.
There's no question he'll take some front office personnel from
(08:36):
the Seahawks. I mean, again, this is gonna impact the Hawks,
right how negatively down the road, I don't know, maybe
really nothing when it's all said and done, it might
be a big nothing burger. But he's gonna poach people.
There's no question, Jackson, he will poach people from the Hawks.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
I just don't think many. I mean, it's just such
a different regime now from when you was.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Just here a year ago.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yeah, but Jackson's right, it's well, yeah, but I'm talking
about like office people, support staff people, not just coaches.
You'll just forget about it because they're all brand new. Maybe,
but he's gonna bring people. He'll bring he might bring
cat people with him. Who knows man totally.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We'll see. I mean, I don't know how.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I think a lot of the front office people are
John's people, and that would surprise me if people left
John to be with Pete given the idea that now
John has more power than he used to have, and
then trickles down people say, Okay, now I have more
of an ear in the Seahawks facility. So I don't
think I don't, I will say, really quickly quickly to
go back to it.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I think that the.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Raiders quarterback situation got to be the worst in the NFL,
But it wasn't horrifying at the start of the year. Minsh,
you had a broken collarbone? What halfway through the year?
I will say, also, that isn't there like a ninety
nine point percentage chance that Ashton gent goes to the
Raiders that sixth?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Overall?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
YE tell me that Pete Carroll, mister, I want to
run the ball, Run the ball, run the ball. Tell
me he is not going to take the Boise State
legend at the sixth pick.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Come that's that screams, yeah, pick well. I mean he's
if he's got the line, you know. I mean, you
saw what happened to Jenny is they went further and
further in the playoff that you know, he just wasn't
the holes weren't there. Right, whatever he might he might,
but here's the thing about Gardner Minshew. Gardner Minshew is
not the guy that's gonna get Pete Carroll where he
needs to go. He knows that the dudes on his
(10:17):
fourth team, by the way, in six years, right, there's
a reason why Gardner Minshew is bouncing around the NFL.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But I'm fired up for him.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Man.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm kind of as an old AFC West guy, and
you're right there with me, Dick. You might be two
young Jackson, remember the you know, Raider Buster days and
the Bronco Busters and the Chargers and the Chiefs, and
you're supposed to hate all those teams. I mean, you
got Harbaugh and Carroll back together now in the old
in the AFC West when they hated each other's guts
in the NFC West. I love that the age of
(10:47):
the coaches in the AFC West compared to the age
of the coaches in the NFC West. I mean it's
like the Grandpa League versus the Junior League. Now, it's interesting, Jackson.
Do you even have a shred of hatred towards the Raiders?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
None? Zero?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
And do you even think of the Raid is a
proud historic franchise that.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Part I do just because I'm just as I know football.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
You don't know them as a winning franchise in your lifetime,
which is so bizarre because we grew up with the
Raiders are the evil Empire.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Al Davis is the guy with the black hat. We
don't like him. The Raiders always win.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
They usually beat us, and we beat us, and when
we beat them, it's just unbelievable. So it has taken
probably twenty five thirty years and twenty years of not
being in their division to kind of erase that from
my memory bank.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
I just know them as the team with the weirdest
looking owner in all of sports, Mark Davis.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, that guy is great. Ye unusual.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Well, you know, they haven't won a playoff game in
twenty three years. The Raiders haven't since they lost it
beat the Cowboys, though Cowboys want to playoffs. The Cowboys
beat us, the Cowboys get the Seahawks. But they haven't
won a playoff game in twenty three years. They haven't
won They they've won ten games or more twice in
those twenty three seasons, and they finished in last place
like fifteen times during that run.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I mean, they're terrible. They're absolutely terrible. I think locally.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
The other question besides where does he take from the Seahawks,
if anything, is is Brandon Carroll going with him?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I mean the offensive line coach for the Huskies. And look,
I'm not saying he's gonna go. I'm not saying he's
not gonna go. I just think the idea of totally
dismissing it is insanity. He's his son, for God's sakes.
I would work with him before he was his run
game coordinator in two thousand. Did he have like four
kids on the staff at one point?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Carroll?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Seriously, I think it is I would assume he would
go with him. Yeah, I'm more than fifty percent confident
that he will go with him, right. I mean it's
not like Brandon Carroll runs the offense for Washington. I
mean if Brandon Carroll ran the offense for Washington and
then took a lesser job with the Raiders than I'd
be like, that probably isn't gonna happen. But if he
gets like a lateral move position wise, right, I think
(12:50):
he takes it.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, I think he does take it because I think
all guys simply put just strive to get back into
the NFL. Look, I mean, it's it's obviously an upgrade.
You're not deal within the NIL and recruiting and all
that nonsense and kids going to class and you know
girls and everything, and you know Dayton blah blah blah.
It's it's a total different story. So I think this
is where it really does affect you, Dub, and it
(13:11):
affects the Seahawks to trickle down effect of Pete Carroll
going to the Raiders and getting a head coaching job.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What does that mean for the Dogs? What does it
mean for the Seahawks?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Is Jed Fish gonna have to go fight another coordinator
when he just had to replace Steve Belichick. I mean,
obviously you know it's not March, but it's also not
December either. I mean a lot of these jobs have
been filled already, So I'm curious to see what Brendan
Carroll does to go work for his dad. But I'm
also already curious to get the reaction. Dick on the
text line, like, are people are they happy Pete Carroll's back?
(13:41):
Are they pissed off that he's back? Are you mad
that he's going to the Raiders. We talked about this
on the Year of the Year day, about whether or
not if Pete Carroll took the Niner job, what the
reaction would be. I think Dick and I both said, look,
he got fired, he can do whatever the hell he wants, right,
you got the reaction will be different. You were gonna
throw a fit if he took the Niner job. N
This is different though, because it's not the conference. It's
(14:01):
not a rival anymore. It used to be a rival
back in the day. But I wonder how Seahawks fans react.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
I mean, I can understand if you're fifty plus years
old and you still have a hate us. Yeah, But
I mean, but like I said, it's taken me two
and a half decades to kind of get rid of
the hatred for the Raiders, right, And I've spent more
time feeling sorry for the Raiders in the last two
decades than I have hating the Raiders. Yes, and I
actually like the Raiders when Gruden was there, because I
really like John Gruden.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So there was a couple of years I actually rooted
for the Raiders to win.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And now they're not even in our conference and so hey, Pete,
have at it, get the number one seed.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We'll see in the playoffs. I don't have a hatred
for the Raiders anymore either, and that's sad. It is sad.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I mean, we we spent so many hours as kids
back in the day developing a deep seated hatred for
the Oakland Raiders.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Every bit hatred is the forty nine ers has been asked,
and now it's gone. I want it back. I want
it back.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I mean, can you.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Imagine Raiders Seahawks and the Super Bowl Pete Carroll versus
Mike McDonald. I mean, that's so far down the road,
it's almost ridiculous to even.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Talk about how the teams get a quarterback trade for
Gino Smith though, uh yeah, I think my reaction to
that that that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I mean, I mean, you just want him out of here. Well,
I don't think they trade for him. I think if
Gino got well, they could trade for him and restructure
his deal exactly. And if they cut him, then he
definitely would be a candidate to end up in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I mean, we know what he thinks of Gino Smith.
What would Gino? We know what Gino thinks of Pete Carroll?
What would Gino get on the trade market? I was
gonna say a third rounder, fourth round draft pick. I
don't know which says it all? You want your quarterback?
Give us a third Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I don't know, man, I just I just love this.
I love that he's back in the NFL. I love
that he's going to the fricking Raiders. I love that
he's in Vegas. For God's sakes, he's going to work
with a spy tech guy who knows how much authority
he's going to have. We'll talk to j T about
all that next. But we got a lot to get to, man.
I fun with Audio, JT the Brick. We're gonna have
to Philadelphia, DC at four, and then we're gonna head
(15:58):
to Buffalo and Kansas City at sex. Hugh Millen is
going to join us as well, coming up at five. O'clock,
his thoughts on Pete Carroll taking the Vegas job.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Bobby Slowick, who a.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Year ago at this time was one of the hot
commodities and the hot head coaching candidates in the NFL,
has been fired by the Houston Texans, while Ben Johnson,
who was right there with him last year along with
it was those three McDonald, Johnson and Bobby Slowick. Two
of them have head coaching jobs and the other guy
just got whacked. It's almost kind of reminds me of
what happened to Eric b Enemy when he was a
(16:29):
big hot candidate and then he kind of fell apart,
didn't He just get fired by Ucla. By the way, too,
was gonna get Ucla.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But the Enemy never called plays at campus, so he
never did.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Different never did. But these guys are calling plays and
now they're available. So we'll ask you at five, do
we want Bobby Slowick to be the offensive coordinator? Should
John Schneider kind of pump the brakes on Clint Kobiak
and Dinsky and maybe go after the kid that just
got let go by Houston.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
We'll get huge thoughts on that.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
J T.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
The Brick is in Vegas. He's now covering Pete Carroll.
That's right, you heard that right. You're just tuning in
right now. Pete Carroll is the new head coach of
the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
I feel sorry for us.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
We'll talk to JT about it next on ninety three
three KJRFM.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Now back to the Washington State Beat Commissions Football Friday
with Sati and Dick on your home for the NFL
Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FL.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
All right, busy, busy Friday here on ninety three to
three KJRFM. Before we get to our next guest, you
may have heard the big news Pete Carroll going to
the Vegas Raiders to be the coach in Vegas. And
before we get to our next guest, who's about to
cover him in Las Vegas, let's go back Nick to
August twentieth of last year.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Pete Carroll on.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
This radio show, talking to me and Doug Baldwin asked
the question do you or do you not want to
coach again in the NFL?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
I guess a lot, so I'm pretty familiar with the
answering that I could coach tomorrow. I mean, I'm physically
in best ship in a long time. I'm ready to
be ready to do all the activities that I'm doing
and feeling really good about it. I could, I don't,
but I don't. Really I'm not desiring it, you know
at this point, and this isn't the coaching season. You know,
(18:13):
we'll see what happens. I'm not really I'm not waiting
on it at all. I'm going ahead. I got other
things that I don't want to do that I'm excited about,
and let's see how all that goes. Well.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
One of those things was coaching a class at USC,
which apparently I guess he's going to keep doing.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Is the coach of the Raiders. I mean, why not?
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Man?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
But joining us right now in the program pre and
postgame for the Raiders. I've been hosting the Coaches Show
on TV Mad Dog Radio twenty seven years with Vegas
and the Raiders are Old Pal JT the brick JT.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
How are you Pal?
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Hello? Guys. Great to be on with you today. Big
day in Vegas. We're hoping to get some of that
Seattle success out here in Sin City.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, what's the reaction? Tell us down there?
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Reactions great? I mean he was one or one a
the whole you know Tom Brady came in and Tom
Brady's taking big swings. We fought down here maybe forty
eight hours ago, two three days ago that Ben Johnson
was target number one. They're going after Ben Johnson, and
Tom Brady kind of cleared everybody out. He fired the GM,
Tom to leasco which no one expected. Obviously, Antonio Pierce
(19:20):
was let go as the head coach, and he did
a nice job. The team was beset with injuries, lost
ten in a row this year, so we know what
happens when that happens to a coach. But you know,
after Ben Johnson decided to go to Chicago, it was
one or one A and Pete Carroll that's the guy
that a lot of people wanted here. We needed a
veteran head coach with a rookie GM that's coming in here,
(19:44):
and I think it's a great fit. And Pete Carroll
goes back to the Bay Area, moor In County, Pacific
and all that and was in college when the Raiders
were great, and we just hope it's a good fit.
We hope a couple of years from now the Raiders
are competing to win championships, because that's why he was
brought in.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
JT is Mark Davis just kind of a silent controlling
owner of the Raiders now and he's letting Tom Brady
kind of run things.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
No, I wouldn't go there. He's not silent, he's very active.
He just knows what he doesn't know. And he wanted
to bring in Tom Brady as a minority owner who
bought a nice chunk of the team. I mean ten
percent of the team is big. And then two other
smaller minority owners spent a lot of money and bought
seven point five and seven point five. So if you
(20:29):
add up to twenty five percent of the Raiders that
was sold recently and approved by the NFL owners at
the owners meeting, Mark is raising cash which he doesn't need.
Because one thing, guys, that has changed since the last
time I was up there and on with you guys.
We always played Seattle in the preseason when I came
up there, is now we're one of the richest teams
in the NFL, one of the most successful financial teams
(20:52):
in the NFL. This thing is hemorrhaging cash in a
good way, I mean making a ton of money. And
now the issue is Mart's got a win and It's
been a while. It's been twenty plus years since the
Raiders made the playoffs and won a playoff game, going
back to the Super Bowl appearance in two thousand and three,
and since then, Seattle's had a ton of success. So
(21:14):
all the coaches who had their shot, they were.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
All good men.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
They all said the same thing coming in that they
wanted to win. And now it's Pete Carroll's turn. But
at least he can walk on the field and look
Andy Reid, Sean Payton, and Jim Harbaugh in the eyes
and say I beat all of you. Yeah, I beat
all of you before, and I'm going to try to
do it again.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Well, JT the bricks with us in Vegas. Pete Carroll
new coach of the Raiders. John Spytech is the new GM.
So this is now the second time that Pete Carroll
has been hired as a head coach and brought in
at the same time as a new GM, because he
came in with John Schneider in twenty ten. But it
was Pete's show. I mean, they hired Pete before they
(21:53):
hired the general manager. This time around, apparently they hired
spi Tech before they got to Pete. Who's in charge.
Does Pete have the authority like you had in Seattle?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
You think, yeah, I think Pete's gonna have a lot
of command of this team. And again Tom Brady's going
to be involved. But as you guys know, Brady's a broadcaster.
Brady can't be at the games. You know, he can't
be at the games. He can't be at you know,
the practice is involved. There's certain ramifications and rules with him.
And Pete has been doing this and has the Gravi
toss to run this team. Now, spy Tech's really interesting
(22:25):
because he comes from Tampa and he was a big
part of the architect of the Brady super Bowl in
Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield coming in and the team's
been really good the last couple of years, and he
was the next GM in waiting, So real happy to
get him because it seems like he was choice number one.
He was the GM that they wanted. Really easy to
make the connection, guys, because he played college football with
(22:48):
Brady at Michigan.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Well, we know that the Raiders is only going to
go so far as their quarterback takes them, and you
know Pete could minimize the damage at quarterback by the
way he runs his offense and he's such a good
defensive co But what do you think this team is
going to do a quarterback because it doesn't seem like
the status quo is going to work.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Have to get a quarterback that you have to get one,
there's no way around it. So the Raiders have the
six pick in the first round. Is that good enough
to get should or Sanders or cam Ward if you
like him? Probably not. You got to trade up. The
Raiders couldn't trade up to get Jaden Daniels last year,
who had a really good friendship with Antonio Pierce, the
coach at that time. And we got Brock Bauers that
(23:26):
had one of the greatest seasons in the history of
the NFL at tight end. And the pick before was
Bo Nicks and Michael Pennix went to Atlanta and the
Raiders didn't expect that to happen. So whatever the Raiders do,
they have to get an elite quarterback. And they can
get a veteran quarterback Sam Darnold. You could go down
the road of Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers or a
(23:47):
Kirk Cousins. I don't think because he didn't look good
at the end here. But they've got to take a
quarterback high, park them and let Pete Carroll develop them
with his staff, so the Raiders have a franchise quarterback
of the future. That's the problem. Derek Carr was here
for nine years. We didn't win a playoff game with
Derek Carr. We had to move on from him. We
(24:08):
gotta get a young stud quarterback no matter what.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Well, Russell Wilson's a free agent. He's not young, and
he's not a stud, but he could be a guy
that could sit there and babysit somebody. Is the idea
of bringing Russell into Vegas at least for a year
or two? Stupid or what?
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Well? Last year, if you heard my show, that's all
I said. I tell you I don't get many things
right all the time, but when I do, I'll tell
you I was screaming for the Raiders to get Baker
Mayfield for thirty million total. Russell Wilson was a million dollars.
DeVante Adams was getting one point one million a game
and he wanted out. We could have got Russell Wilson.
So if Russ was here last year, he would have
(24:44):
been here for a year already. I'm not saying the
Raiders would have went to the playoffs, but they would
have been vastly improved. If Russell Wilson walked on that field,
or Aaron Rodgers or Sam Donold, with Max Crosby and
some of the players that they have, they'd be instantly
four or five games better. Think they'd be a you know, seven, eight,
nine win team in Pete's first run there, and maybe
(25:04):
even better. Remember Jaden Daniels the Commanders before they got
him won four games last year. That's the program that
needs to be installed in Vegas. This isn't a five year,
ten year plan. Pete's got to turn this around really quick,
and we're hoping his energy, his staff and all the
combinations that he has with former players and coaches builds
(25:25):
a winner here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
How about a reunion with Pete Carroll and Gino Smith?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
How is you like that?
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Guys? I used to wickipedia Gino and remind people there
were years years where he didn't throw the ball, like
he had six attempts, like he was left for dead.
And Gino played well in Seattle, played very well. Good
quarterback four thousand yards blindfolded. You know someone like that
as an upgrade, and not that. Aidan O'Connell's a bad quarterback.
(25:54):
He got thrown into the fire. We had Gardner, Minshew,
Jimmy Garoppolo, Aidan O'Connell. You go back. Since Derek Carr,
it has been rough. But the quarterback is clearly the priority.
And if you think Brady swung big getting Pete Carroll
in Spy deck, Brady's got to step up and get
us a quarterback. That's the primary input of Brady, we
think going forward. Because no one sat down with Brady,
(26:17):
no one knows his vision, but everybody believes in him
because we need a winner here in Vegas. The Raiders
have played in five Super Bowls, won three, have had
some of the greatest players to ever play in this league,
and they have to turn it around. And Pete Carroll's
the answer.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
How long does Pete get JT. You give him a
year or two before you start busting his balls down there?
How long does the old.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Man get We're gonna give him as long as he wants.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Man.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
I got to remember, you guys can go back and
do the math I started in ninety eight. I think
this is I think this is my fifteenth head coach. Wow,
and I host all the shows and I sit down
with them. So I'll go through Tom Cable, Lane Kiffin.
The list goes on and on coaches you haven't even
heard of to this day. Hugh Jackson. I've sat down
(27:02):
in front of him and tried to get content out
of him. Antonio Pierce was fabulous to interview every week
on the Coaches Show. And if I get the opportunity
to do that with Pete, to kind of plug into
his energy, we'll do that in Vegas because everybody wants
to come to our stadium. Everyone wants to come to
Vegas for the Final Four for college football, for fights
in UFC. We need Raider Nation to explode the way
(27:25):
it did in Oakland and LA and get this team
back on track.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, you count the interim guys. You're right, it's fifteen dudes. Man,
I feel sorry for you for us fifteen guys. Nobody's
lasted more than three years.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Hey, give the old man a break, let him work
his magic and get the f out of the way.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
All right, man, we'll talk soon, buddy.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Thanks guys, appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Ey JT the brick with us on the show.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
We're gonna head to Philadelphia and we're gonna head to
DC at four for the Commanders and Eagles.
Speaker 2 (27:49):

At the baseball Hall of Fame press conference yesterday in
cooper Stown, instroducing the class of twenty five. Each Hero
through his translator, Alan Turner, commenting on the one person
who did not vote for him to make the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Able to receive many votes from the writers and grateful
for them.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
There's one writer that I wasn't able to get a
vote from. I would like to invite him over to
my house and uh while I drink together and we'll
have a good chat. But very very grateful to be here.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
And thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
First of all, Alan Turner sounds like he needs a rica.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Well, I think Alan Turner's been translating a lot over
the last few days.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Number two, they should totally do this and do it.
Make it a pay per view event. Watch tonight on Netflix.
Is each Row and schmuck mcjackson sit down and discuss
why mcjackson did not vote for him for the Hall
of Fame Only on Netflix, and then it would kind
of dial down the volume and the rhetoric a little bit,
you know, maybe you kind of make light of it.
Whatever would you would you watch that if each ye
(30:53):
Row invited this guy over to his house for some
saki and they got together and they discussed why, and
each road tried to convince him he was wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Would you tune in for that?
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I think would be exactly like the last big Netflix
sports thing and the Tyson fight, And they were all
fired up about it, and then three rounds in we
were like, this is terrible.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Well, but the difference is Mike Tyson's eighty five years
old and fighting somebody, right, I mean, there's no physical
Maybe they.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Start fighting it. Dreel pins him down, what's his freaking knee?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Right in his throat and says, you watch something I
would I would pay to watch that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
All right, Dick? Did you happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Last night, the NBA on TNT crew revealed each player
voted into the NBA All Star Game. The players, according
to Ernie Johnson, were unknown to everybody, even their TV producers,
and would come as a surprise as they were announced.
But as he explained the reveal process, Ernie got some
pushback from Charles Barkley.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
So we'll start with the please after you announced the
first one, we'll talk about him, show some video, then
we'll do the.
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Second kind of like so the way you produced the
show so well, you just told thee what so you say,
he gonna name somebody and then we got to talk
about them. There you go put the video and then
I'm gon got to have a video reader, so you
have to tell somebody we have we have a video.
They just happen to have them ready because we know
that numbers, y'all man.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Good point.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I could buy that. You I got like twenty five
pads like hit a button. That's easy. Done, that's easy.
They don't need to buy time. I love Barkley just
fighting back on that show.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
May you hear the news they're gonna be on ESPN,
all of them together, by the way, next year.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It's awesome. That is really good, Harlan.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Maybe on Amazon, those guys might be on you think if,
like you know, we ever went away. People want to
know where they're going. Where are Softy, Dick and Jackson going.
They're doing a podcast, they going to mad Dog Radio,
They're going to Serious You people would care the three
of us. We're a team once once. If you quit tomorrow,
I'm done. I'm sure Dick retires.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I'm done.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Don't either do this together or not at all? Right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Daniel Jeremiah joining the Pat McAfee show yesterday and breaking
down the positives and potential negatives of drafting Apple Obama
quarterback Jalen Milroe.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
You get to Alabama and you watch Milrow, he just
you want him to be good, so bad because everything
you hear he's a great kid. He's freaking jacked. He's
a big, strong, physical kid. He can run like crazy,
and just like, can you just take the next steps
as a passer, just the traits like you he's seen
that go sideways as of late when you just kind
of go all in on traits and you know, some
(33:22):
of the quarterbacking stuff isn't there, and you're like, okay,
well just that's gonna come. Sometimes it doesn't, So that's
gonna be what. You know, He's a little bit of
an enigma, but somebody will do it. He's going to
go on day two just because the tools are so interesting.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, he's electrifying whenever he's playing great. Yeah, and that
is certainly something you would like to bet on. Potential
and potential get your ass fired, you know, but potential.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
Yeah, I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I just don't get it, man. Did they not watch
him play?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I mean I realized that you know, all the traits
and stuff, and you know the build is there. He's
gonna go to the combine and maybe blow people away.
But I mean, the guy starts the year off with
eight touchdowns and no against Western Kentucky. I say, Kentucky,
Western Kentucky, South Florida, Wisconsin, and the rest of the
way through eight touchdowns and eleven interceptions in the final
(34:11):
you know, nine games of the year and look bad too,
like overthrowing guy, throwing behind guys, drilling balls.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
In the dirt. I mean, are you are you seeing
something else? He intrigues me a lot. That's a first
round pick.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
No, But that's the point that people are talking about
him being like top ten.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
Of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Although if you told me today that the Seahawks traded
down three times, got extra picks and took Jalen Milroe
with the twenty eighth pick in the first round, I
mean the dude had twenty three touchdowns and six interceptions
and ran for five hundred and thirty one yards the
year before Kaitlyn Debora got there. I get it, man,
I just I was intrigued. I'm not telling you he's
going to be a star.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
He is in tree.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Would you spend a first three and a half pick
on Jalen Milroad even now? Maybe later on, like late
in day two? Potentially I could absolutely see that first
round pick when your offensive lines as pissed poor as.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Its bad what I just told you? How many how
many picks are you getting for what I just mentioned?
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I don't know, man, I just.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Told the offensive lineman, can you get that for the
deal that I just mentioned?
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I get down twice, but.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
You still might be pissing away a first runner and
a guy that can't throw.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't know, dude.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Maybe you're right, Dick, but I'm just not seeing it
at all with this guy.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
All Right, we're gonna break.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
We're gonna head to Philadelphia and DC Eagles Commanders for
the NFC Championship next on ninety three three KJRFM
