Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where week go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't know where to start with yesterday Seahawks game.
First of all, in regards to what's happening here in
the office and on the air, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Did not cover that, sucker.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
This is a game the Seahawks were leading handily, thirty
to ten, six forty to go third quarter.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
We're thinking, well, Factor fiction, that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's done. Thirteen and a half is done. Colts and
Chiefs go to overtime on Sunday. Chiefs don't cover the
three and a half Pittsburgh in their game. They don't
cover Wazoo James Madison, they don't cover we picked a
horrible week to go oh and five boys on Factor fixtion.
I gonna be honest with you. I'm sitting here right
(00:43):
now on this Monday morning. I'm more pissed off about
going oh and five than I am fact in the
factor fiction that I am the Seahawks not covering and
giving up all those junk points.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
In the fourth quarter. I'm not pissed at the Hawks
at all. And I mean I'm reading it.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
On social media some people are I'm like, that is
just human nature.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You have that type of game against the Rams most
teams against that with that type of game against Rams
would show up in Tennessee and just.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Muddle through and barely win.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Our team was up thirty to ten before they turned
the motor off.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, okay, so there's a couple of things here. Number One,
I'd like to disagree with you, but I don't, so
I can't. Okay, I do agree with you. I think
it is human nature. I think it's very hard for
teams when they're leading by twenty points to stay on
the gas with a full twenty minutes of football left
to go and just continue to blow people out of
the water. This isn't college football, right, It's totally different
(01:39):
that touns much cleanness.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And if we both agree with that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Why the hell did you take the Seahawks minus the
thirteen and a half in this game? Why did we
do that? Well, because we all knew this was possible.
We all knew a backdoor cover was possible. We all
knew there was a fact that the Seahawks would get
up big and Tennessee would come back and find a
way to the gap and at least cover. If all
of this is stuff we're saying today on Monday morning,
(02:05):
which I agree with.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Everything coming out of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Then why Jackson did we take the Hawks minus thirteen
and a half, which was the biggest road spread the
Hawks had ever had in their franchise history.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I mean, you're asking me, I'm been torrible at factor
fiction this year.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Another lost week in the pick. I was most calmed.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I mean, listen, I've made it very clear to both
of you off the air how much I'm truly invested
in the competitiveness of Factor fiction.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But I'm just kind of disappointed that.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I'll be honest, I'm different both these I'm more angry
that this youngs couldn't keep the foot on the gas. Listen,
I get it, it's human nature. But the Tennessee Titans suck.
They are a trash organization and football team. This should
not have been a six point game.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Why did we take them? I don't know. Why?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Does Dick you're you're you're so right? And I had
the same conversation with Millen this morning. It was like
a mini version and it reminded me of and I
know it's different, but remember the two thousand and six
Giant game when the Hawks are leading like.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Forty two to three. Oh yeah, they.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Scored twenty seven points in the fourth quarter and they
lost forty two to thirty. So if you hadn't seen
the game, you just saw the score. I think it
was maybe a fairly close game. Remember Jeremy Shockey was
playing tight end for the Giants that day. It was like,
it means nothing. We were down thirty nine. For God's sake.
They pulled everybody. So it's not exactly like that game.
(03:31):
But I would just say this, when you see a
game like that, either at halftime or the third quarter,
and if you can find a way dick to bet
the second half line or a live line somewhere, jump
on it every time, every freaking time. These teams just
they can't do it. They can't keep their foot on
(03:52):
the gas man. And that's another reason why I just
wonder why they hell we took the Hawks anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But look, man, here's the deal.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You can't anticipate a punt return touchdown. Yeah right, I mean,
those things swing lines. My point of taking the Seahawks
was I don't believe the Titans can score offensively more
than thirteen points.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well guess what what did they score? Really offensively?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
They scored with forty seconds left against a defense that
was ben but don't break, just trying to get the game.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Over with, and he scored on a pen return.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
The Seahawks defense played exactly how I thought they would play.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
In that game.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think we need to stay away just for future reference. Okay,
we can decide this now as a group. You stay
away from the mammoth road lines. All right, let's stay away,
all right, unless there's nothing else. If it's the last
pick on a Friday and it's twenty to twenty, I
get it different, animal, But we had plenty to choose from.
And look, we picked a horrible time to go in
(04:49):
five on factor of fiction, and now we're sitting there
in second place, staring up at chucking bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Ass we do it, Okay, we do all right?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, we got a big one coming up here in
about fifteen minutes from now.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I gotta sneak peak. Jackson.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Let's talk about what happened yesterday, because I look at
a football team that honestly, Jackson, you're exactly right, and
I agree with both you guys. Okay, Dick's right and
you're right all right that I'm not angry about it.
This stuff happens the road to the playoffs is fraught
with peril and crazy things. Land mines, the twenty one
(05:23):
to zhing game against the Bucks and thirteen, the fourteen
to nine win against the Rams, on win Football, the
Golden Tate finger Wag game. You're not gonna beat everybody's
ass every single week. And winning on the road is
freaking hard in the NFL. And Mike McDonald, by the way,
is now twelve and two on the roads in fourteen
games as the Seahawk head coach. But you're talking about
the very first drive. You get to the Titan thirty
(05:45):
four and you get shut down, get held to three.
Third drive, first and goal from the two yard line,
and then disaster hits, penalties, all kinds of wacky stuff.
Field goal, fourth drive, first and ten from the Titan thirteen.
This is three of the first four drive right that
the Seahawks had where they were inside the forty two
(06:06):
of them. They're inside the fifteen yard line, and they
come away with nine points. I mean, they easily could
have blown their doors off in the first quarter of
this game and didn't do it. So if there's one
small little thing that I just kind of heat sat
me a little bit from yesterday. I want these guys
when they get inside the five, they get inside the twenty,
(06:27):
to get into a habit of scoring touchdowns. And I
feel like lately there's been times where that's not happening.
I hope it's not a trend.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That's all lately, Right, they've only scored on forty two
percent of their trips inside the red zone touchdowns over
the last three games.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
All I care is touchdowns. I don't care about field goals.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
But for the season, they're still at sixty one and
a half percent, which is eleventh in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
There's still a top third of the NFL red.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Say lately, let's clean that up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Lately they have been poor.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
They are twenty third in the league in the last
three games.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
So, yes, I've been poor lately. Yeah, let's clean it up.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And you know what, again, it's like I said after
the Arizona game, and I was kind of wrong about
it because Sam Donald made mistakes in the Rams game too.
I thought, honestly, guys, that the performance by Donald in
the Arizona game, you have three turnovers or two in
that game. You remember how many turnovers he had the
Arizona game he had. I think he had lost fumble
(07:22):
and a pick against Arizona, had a couple of yesterday too. Yeah,
But my point was that I like the fact that
you can learn those lessons in a victory.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Right, you won forty four to twenty two.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And Sam Donald didn't really play that well because he
had too many turnovers and then he goes out and
he barfs it up again. Against the Cardinals he had
four interceptions or the Ram game, so that didn't come
to fruition. I kind of like the fact that you're
talking about a team doing all these things and they're
not doing them well, and they're a little sloppy, right
(07:52):
the red zone, the picks, the fumbles, whatever, But they're
still winning games and they're still leading.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Thirty to ten in the third quarter of a.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Game like this, So how good Isn't this a sign
that this team can be elite if they can just
clean that stull?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
There's no question in my mind this team can be elite.
There's no question.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And that was hammered home last week in the loss
of the Rams, because it was because they dominated that
game for three quarters and were looked to me like
the better team. But when it comes to Sam Donald,
and his and his turnovers. I'm almost seeing him now
as like, hey, I'm just gonna put up with it.
This is what we're gonna get from Sam Donald. But
the good is so good that I'm almost willing to
put up with the goofy, you know, knock off the
(08:33):
helmet for an interception and to throw it in between
two guys into the you know, double coverage. Sometimes it's
dropped by the defensive back like it was last yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Sometimes it's not.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm kind of willing to just put up with that
stuff because I know I'm gonna get two touchdowns two
hundred and seventy yards hundred passer rated from him, and fine,
I'm gonna sign up for that every time.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
What's the alternative?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The alternative is Gino Smith terrible, absolutely horrible. I mean
he might he may have gotten Ship Kelly fired. Honestly,
the fans off, Yes, well, you know what they're saying
down there now, that guy that had that sign at Lumenfield,
remember the controversy Raider fans like, maybe that guy was right,
(09:17):
maybe he's a bigger bust than JaMarcus russell Man. But yeah,
because that's the alternative, and nobody can argue. Nobody can
argue that this is an upgrade over what they had
a year ago. Nobody can argue that. And you know what,
if you are trying to argue that, you're just being
you're you're being difficult.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Honestly, are there any Genoites left? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
The island is the island? Did all the boats leave?
You are arguing for argument's sake. If you now you
want to argue how good Sam Darnold is, that's fine.
We can debate that all day. I have no problem
with that. Is he a super Bowl caliber quarterback?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Is the elite?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Is he a guy that can perform when the lights
are brightest? That's more than federal. But to sit here
and just say, well, there's still a debate if the
Hawks did the right thing, are you dumb?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Honestly? Are you that dumb that you can't look at
what Gino Smith is doing? Now?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Maybe if Gino Smith was in Seattle with this football team,
he'd be playing better. He's got jack squad around him
in Vegas with the Raiders. But that is the alternative.
So I'm totally with you on that regard defense. Again,
they did exactly what you thought they'd do a little
sloppy late in the game, bringing some backups in.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
They're up twenty, the game's over.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You're looking forward to getting the plane, getting your ass
home to Seattle for a big game on Sunday versus Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But guys, you gotta remember the over under, at least
the one that.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We jumped on at the Emerald Queen was seven and
a half on this football team. That's what Vegas thought
this team was. We're not even to Thanksgiving and they've
already hit it. It's done, it's over with six games
left to go. So I think this team is exceeding
a lot of people's expectations, including the expers in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
And we all knew that the experson in Vegas thought
that Sam Darnold was a turd, and we all said, okay,
because of ex what and we're seeing they know he
isn't a turred. The thing about this team, so if
you cut back to your common a few minutes ago,
I think you nailed it. This team can be elite.
But the emphasis on that word is can. They can,
and we just I think we just need to see it.
(11:13):
We saw it in the Commander's game at most times.
We saw it in the Cardinals game at times. But
when this team finishes the year with three of four
against Indye, La and San Fran, that's when the can
needs to turn into you know, is because those little
mistakes that they make and the near interception that should
have been against a decent defense against you know, the
(11:36):
Titans yesterday that Darnold had, right.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Those little mistakes.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
You can't have those against Indy and La and San
Fran or suddenly that five seed or potentially even if
you grab the Rams, that that's gonna turn into a
six seven and suddenly you're more on the road, you're
facing better teams.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
We can't slip into, no question. That's why it's gotta stop.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's why I mentioned the red zone stuff right certain
and your port about the last three games right there. Overall,
but there's a little bit of a mini trend right
that's developing that we got it. It's like a fungus
as a fungus. There's a there's been a lou that's
moving in.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
The muse next to the robotest We got it.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We gotta get this cleared up now, all right, get
the get your pimple face cleared up before the Procact
or nobody's going home with you.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
But there's one thing we can't. We can debate whether
Sam Donald's elite. We can debate whether Sam Donald's a
championship quarterback, but we can't there There should be no
one out there that is trying to debate that Sam
Donald is not at least a good, if not.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Very good quarterback.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'm sure he has only eight games since the beginning
of last year, eight regular season games out of twenty
eight where he has a passer rating under one hundred.
Patrick Mahomes has seven this season. Sam Donald has eight
in the last two seasons. I'm not saying Sam donalds
a better quarterback than Patrick Mahomes. I'm saying he's having
a better year this year than Patrick Mahomes and he
(12:56):
is at least good, if not a very quarterback.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, he's twenty two and six on his last twenty
eight regular season games.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
All right, that's what he's done.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I mean, he's just the guy that's just getting used
to winning. The feeling of winning, right, which I think
is fairly contagious. I mean, you know, it's like people
talk about losing is contagious, right. The natural movie, like
a disease. It's like a boat gently rocking right. You
can't you can't do it. You can't let that nonsense
move into your locker room. And the Hawks have been
able to not let that happen. I think these are
(13:28):
two games coming up against Minnesota Atlanta that they should
win both.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This should be a ten and three football team.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And what Jackson Smith and Jigba is doing right now,
it's just beyond dumb. It's so dumb because you keep
waiting for some defense somewhere, and I do wonder we
can talk to milling about this. By the way, at
four o'clock. I wonder if even Mike McDonald and Clint
Kubiak are thinking every week, Okay, this is what the
Titans defense will try and do to Jackson Smith and Jigba,
(13:56):
this is what the Rams defense will do, This is
what Raheem Morris will do in a couple of weeks.
And then they don't do it right because there's no
other explanation for what this guy's doing. I mean, he
goes off again, has another big long touchdown to fifty
yard pass plays in the game yesterday. You realize that
this guy is on pace for two thousand and thirty
(14:16):
yards on one hundred and sixty five targets. Calvin Johnson
had nineteen hundred and sixty four on two hundred.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And four, forty more.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Targets than what Jackson Smith and Jigma is on pace for,
but only sixty more yards on forty more targets.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
This guy's turning into a he's big play boss.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
He's a bomba game guy, crazy, a bomba a game
for usually a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So how come nobody can stop the guy? How come
nobody can stop to you?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Question?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Great, how come we're sitting here in week twelve or
week thirteen in the NFL season and nobody can stop
the guy. I mentioned this on the Year a couple
weeks ago, and I got a text from somebody who
so it's almost like Softy's rooting for someone to shut
him down.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'm just flabbergast. Nobody done. It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I mean, is he really, like, are we really looking
a receiver that is that good, that is historically Calvin
Johnson good here in Seattle?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't know. He's certainly having it this season. Numbers
say yes. I mean, how do you argue with it? Man?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I mean he's on pace to have the greatest receiving
year of all time, I mean, at least from a
yardage perspective. And he's not going to come close to
the amount of targets to Calvin Johnson got. He won't
even come close to the amount of targets the Cooper
Cup got in twenty twenty one or Jerry Rice in
nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He broke the Seahawks record before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And to go back to it again, three of those
last four games are against good football teams. You're gonna
need to be throwing probably because it's gonna be closer,
you're gonna be down.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
So those that's those numbers. I don't see them going
off the pace that much.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Well he's doing it, I mean, nobody else is stepping
up like that's the thing, right there's he's got no
reports on IR Yeah, which, by the way, we got
to talk about that too. Tory Horton misses two games
and then they put him on the eye. Did they
not do the same thing with Julian Love where he
missed a couple of games too, and then they decide, okay,
he's going on the IR. So a four game visit
(16:07):
to the IR turns into six games off. Yeah, can
somebody explain to me how that keeps happening Over at
the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I think they're hoping that they get right and they
just don't after a couple weeks.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, maybe we should stop hoping and just get these
guys on the IR as soon as possible. Tory Horton's
gonna miss the next RAM game. I mean, come on, guys,
like this is getting crazy. Here is McDonald just telling
these guys to rub some dirt on it and suck
it up and get back in there. And then he realizes, oh,
maybe they are really hurt and they can't go because
(16:41):
this is twice now this has happened. We got to
talk to you about this at four o'clock. All right,
Factor Fiction, we are poised, hopefully for a comeback. We
better be poised for one, otherwise we're finished. Bad week
to go zher to five, which is a good week
to buy the dip Right next on ninety three to
three KJARFM from the R and.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
R Foundation is Broadcast Studio.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Now back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for
the Huskies, Krakin and the Twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ r FM.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
All right, Factor fiction brought to you by the Lucky
Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day Feels Lucky. Coming
up in a matter of minutes here in the radio
show The Fun with Audio three forty five Hu Milling
a little more at four with you coming up on
ninety three to three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Listen to you often because you're not interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I do want to ask him about the Tory Horton
and Julian Love thing. Julian Love is now eligible, by
the way, to come back off the IR.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
He's missed seven games.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He didn't play for three games and then they put
him on the IR and he misses four.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Doesn't seem like they're missing a beat either. Yeah, well exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
It's like, why pay anybody, right, what's the point of
paying anybody on defense?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Just find eleven guys paying the league. Man, I'm go
and spend all your money on offense.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, we'll put that Tyle Coutt in, I'll put Drake
Thomas in, We'll put Patrick O'Connell.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And I'm telling you, man, it's owns Ludacris And I'm
being half sarcastic. But why the hell wouldn't you just
go cheap on defense? Because the most expensive meaningful bill
that you've got is whatever you're paying the head coach.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
That's right, and right now he has got it in
such lock he has plug and play. Patrick O'Connell, Yeah, really,
maybe had the best game of any defender.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yes, you could make up a name and I would
buy it. Bob Sweetman. Who the hell's Bob's sweet He's good?
How about the Huskies on Saturday getting the road monkey
off their back a little bit with a winever Ucla?
I mean, I will be honest with you that Ucla
looked awful at times in that game. The fake field
goal that they pulled was just ridiculously stupid. I mean,
(18:43):
it's thirteen to nothing at the time, right, you take
the three, you're thirteen three, you're down ten, you go
to the break, you regroup, you get the ball to
start the second half, maybe you get something crazy, you
score and it's thirteen ten. Instead, they run this ridiculous
field goal, which Greg meant into the postgame show Saturday
looked even dumber than the one that we ran against
(19:03):
Ohio State early in the year, which I don't think
it was that dumb the game with the one with
the buck eyes, because I think they were kind of
in dire straits there a little.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Bit um yeah, I mean, but I get it.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I get the point right, But got dude, Dick, here's
the thing everything for you, dub, it felt like to me, offensively,
everything started with that draw touchdown by Demon Williams. When
they started running him and taking advantage of his legs,
everything seemed to kind of be different and everything seemed
to open up for them offensively, and I don't know,
(19:36):
I want to see more of that this Saturday versus Oregon. Dude,
I just think you've got this major weapon in Demon
Williams legs, and I kind of feel like at times
I'm not saying he's thinking like this or trying to
do this, but it looks to me like Jed Fish
is trying to turn Demon Williams into Peyton Manning or
Tom Brady when he should be Michael Vick or Randall
(19:56):
Cunningham right just taking off Russell Wilson, and I feel
there's a big weapon on that offensive side of the
ball that they just have not tapped enough this.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Year, and maybe they're waiting to tap it for Oregon.
You agree with that, by the way, Yes, I absolutely
agree that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I love when he gets outside the pocket and a quarterback,
hell quarterback sweeps around the end with lead with lead blockers.
I'm just I go back to how I felt about
this game. I didn't think the Huskies were going to lose.
But in no way, shape or form did I thought
the game. Did I think the game was going to
go like that? You have won one out of ten there,
you had won two road games in two years. I
(20:31):
don't care what UCLA looked like. That was a good win.
You had literally basically had four offensive starters out and
you put up forty eight points on the road against
the Big ten team. So I am not buying any
of the social media though. It's just UCLA. We still
like there was a lot of just negative nancies last week,
(20:54):
and I get it, But they beat UCLA by a
billion this weekend.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Focus on that. I'm agreeing with you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They they've already shown that they are capable of going
on the road and losing to a bad team.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Okay, remember that, I think.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I said a couple of weeks ago after the after
that Wisconsin loss that when I play used to play
college football video games and we had the BCS system,
and when you lose your second game, you're done. There's
no chance you're making the net. So I would just
simulate the rest of the season because who cares.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And if you go.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Back and look at the simulated season and you say, oh, wow,
we blew out UCLA on the road, you think of
a damn about that, Like, it's still just gives this
really bad taste no matter what I mean, like not
to say that I am one of the Debbie downers, Dick,
but I definitely kind of looked at that game and went, good,
you did what you were supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But boy, it.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Doesn't change anything like this game this week should have
meant so much more.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I totally and I get it. I think the one
thing it does is if they had lost the game
or even played terribly and won the game, the questions
that we were talking about over the offseason about the
road stuff were doing that, right, We're still doing that
and put it to bed, all right. I Mean I'm
not saying you can put it to bed entirely, but
you can kind of start to put it to bed
at a minimum.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Right, We got a new plane, we got.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
New food, we hired a new nutritionist, We talked about McDonald,
we talked to the Seahawks and okay, well then for
what to go two and three on the road with
one win over Wazoo.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I mean, that's what you did all that for.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
They had to have that otherwise everything would have been
the same over the offseason. So there's a lot more
on this to get to. We'll play that clip Jackson
later in the show. Sorry about that. I know you're
scrambling to find it. But Factor fiction right now, brought
to you by the Lucky Eagle where set to go.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Ten thousand dollars grand price.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
It's factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and
hotel where every day Feels Lucky.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Fact Door Fiction.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Is on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Film.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
All right, so here's the deal. We sucked last week.
There's no other way around it, guys, we stunk. We
were a turd sandwich wrapped in a turd tortilla on
a table.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Made of turds.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
All Right, that's what we were oh and five, oh
and five, first winless week of the year for us,
and if I'm looking at the show standings correctly, only
the second winless week by any show on the air.
Ian Ferness went oh and five and week three, So
we picked a bad time to go in five. We
(23:27):
lost three games by a point and a half combined.
By the way, are you saying by the dip, Dave, Yes,
I'm saying by the dip. And here's the deal. You
know who else had a worse week than we did.
The Philadelphia Eagles. After blowing a twenty one to nothing
lead against the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, they are good and pisched.
They're playing the Chicago Bears this Friday. Go hear the
(23:49):
game right here on ninety three to three KJRFM. At
twelve o'clock, they're given six and a half and the
Philadelphia Eagles are back at home where they're angry about
what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Again is Dallas.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
The Bears, I believe are a better team than they
were a year ago, but they're not NFC North champion
good in my opinion, and they're getting it on eight
and three versus eight and three Eagles given six and
a half, We're taking Philadelphia in this game. Philly minus
the points coming off a embarrassing loss to Dallas over
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Ride that D that has allowed Kansas City to score
seventeen points, It has allowed Green Bay to score seven points.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It is allowed Detroit to score nine points.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Ride that d Confuse Caleb Williams, turn the guy over.
My only concern at all, I'm with you on this pick.
I will say my only concern at all is Philadelphia
doesn't win by margin very often.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Their biggest twins of the year they're yeah, they are.
They bet.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
They beat the Rams by seven and they beat the
Giants by eighteen. Other than that, in every game they
would not have covered the six and a half point spreads.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So yep, well we are uh.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
We are now falling percentage points behind Chuck and Buck
for the overall championship.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
So we need a big, big week.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
We need a big finish here, guys in Factor Fiction,
and not many chances left to do it with a
short week.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right, It's three games this week and five games next week?
Is that right? Jackson?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Two more weeks left of Factor Fiction, by the way,
With our horrible performance, you have now fallen into fifth
place overall, behind Mark James.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I have fallen to sixth place behind you. How does
that make you feel? Not a good feeling. Yeah, but
it's it's midway through the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I okay, time to time to rework it. I will
be upset if I finish in fifth place. It will
be my lowest finish I think in this history of
this game, and I will be pissed.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Jackson, It's gonna ruin Christmas for this guy will if
he doesn't get it together, It's gonna ruin Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So I'll just say what I said, miserable. You know what,
we won this thing for the three game family.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
We won this thing three straight years, right, it was
at twenty two or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And what did we get for winning this three years?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Not?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Jack Squad, Jack Patuti? Is what we got? Nothing? Nothing?
Jack PATUITI we got nothing? All right?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Seahawks are the Eagles minus the point sorry at home
against the Bears.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You like, in fact you hate it.
Speaker 2 (26:09):

the urinal in the men's room with the press box.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You guys are aware of that, right I've never been
to Levi's. I got a picture of rus show it
to you.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Literally, there's a sign that says don't drink the water
above the urinal, like someone was gonna took their head
in there and decided. You know what, I'm glad that
sign wasn't there because I could have gotten really sick.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
No, it's in the meat, it's in the press box,
in the.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Actual press box that Levi like, Is that a problem
for visiting media do visiting media from other towns like

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Is that a thing in other towns that cover the NFL? Sometimes?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
All right, here we go headline excuse me, headlines fun
with audio slash hate.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
As you hear that, Hey, Dick, did you happen to
hear that? What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Where as I was starting college basketball? Andrea Hurley or
is it? Andrea Hurley, wife of Yukon basketball coach Dan Hurley,
sat down with ESPN's Jeremy Shapp for an interview recently
and talked about her husband's lack of life skills.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
When I leave to go to Jersey, if I'm not
there for the night, he can't even order food on
his phone. Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
He sounds useless. He's useless. He'd better do this job
right because other than that, forget about it. Do something.
Trips over the garbage, Take the garbage out? He has
to take the guards out?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Does j Wright take the garbage out?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That's the line I get. That's what I get, Jay right,
take the garbage chat.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I know people like that, by the way, that are
totally useless once their spouses leave. Both ways, men and
women can't do anything. By themselves, and it's scary if
somebody dies.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And they're left alone. They don't know how to breathe
on their own.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I mean, do you think he's happy though, that she
set all that stuff? Or is she just because she
sounds like a Jersey girl busting his chops a little bit?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Right? He's a Jersey guy. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I don't think she goes on TV and says that
unless it's kind of all good fun.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
But that's just me probably Now, he seems like such
a miserable lesson. Oh he's nuts, he's nuts. Crazy. They're
a more miserable guy in college basketball.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And she doesn't sound like somebody to be all too
thrilled to be with him if he's not making four
million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
She sounds to me like somebody that you don't want
to cross, by the way, that's what she sounds like, man,
Real Housewives of New Jersey kind of that you know.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Wife say that in public? Like of course she would.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
She would, Yes, Gina absolutely would say something like that.
She would air my ass out, man, no doubt. I
was talking to a guy the other day, I said,
you know, what are you doing for dinner? It's like, well,
I don't really cook, Well what do you do? I
just get fast food. People are like that. That's what
they that's how they roll. It's weird, man, people are weird.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
After Oregon bet usc forty two twenty seven Saturday, Ducks
coach Dan Lanning was asked how the CFP committee should
view Oregon after beating the Drojans.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Just played a really good team. We beat him, and
a lot of times we play really good teams that
become unranked all of a sudden. That's not our fault, right,
maybe it is our fault, but proofs in the pudding. Right,
played a good team, we beat him, right. All we
can do next week is try to do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Right. We didn't play Chattanooga.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
State today, right like some other places, right, we competed,
So you know that being said, it's tough playing nine
conference games, it's tough playing in this league. And we
and we got to take advantage of playing a good
team today and to attacking that.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So that was a shot at the sec from Dan
Lanning right there. This was the annual let's take a
week off week for the SEC. Alabama played Eastern Illinois,
Georgia played Charlotte A and M played Sam Third.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
The last year, right, yes're going to nine.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, next year or two years, but they are going
South Carolina Coastal Carolina. Auburn played Mercer LSU played Western Kentucky.
It also sounds like a dude to me that Noses
got to kind of pump up his team's resume a
little bit that if they lose this game on Saturday
to Washington, despite being fifth in the EIGHTP poles, that
right right now, there's a chance they may not make
(30:36):
the CFP if they lose this game to U dub
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, I mean if they lost on a last second
field goal or if you know, god willing they missed
the field goal at the last second, I still think
they would go. But if the Huskies defense shows up
like they've showed up every single game this season, yeah,
and more has a tough time scoring, and the Dogs
find a way to win twenty.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Seven to ten, then yeah, they might be done. Big question.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
They might be done. They might be done. We'll talk
to Wilner about that tomorrow. I know I was talking
to Jerry Allen for a little pregame thing Saturday, and
he's concerned. He says, if they lose, it's not a
guarantee that we're going.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So you could get the biggest win of Jetfish's career
and you could knock the Ducks out of the CFP
at the same time on Saturday. That sounds good to me.
Let's do that, all right? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Three?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Four, five six? You picked Jackson three? But slow soft, okay?
Like Annuncia, I know you're gonna want to rush through
this as a long one.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Take your time. You know him, don't you.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Adam Bradford as a twenty four year old freelance writer.
He covers USC football for USA Today and Trojan Wire.
We don't have good audio of the question here, but
after the loss to Oregon on Saturday, Bradford asked head
coach Lincoln Riley quote, there was a sign at College
Game Bay this morning from an Oregon fan that said,
(31:53):
extend Lincoln Riley's contract. What are your thoughts on the
fact that opposing fan bases don't view you as a.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Threat to them? Here is Lincoln Riley's response.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That might be the dumbest question I've been asked as
long as I've been a head coach, and I've been
asked a lot of questions.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You ought to feel little embarrassed asked that question. This
is a professional thing you ought to try.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Wow, Well that's cry to a kid twenty four year old.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Oh god, I think it's a legitimate question. Well, I mean,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Think it's one that I would ask, And that is
the exact phrasing, by the way, But it's.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
A legitimate question.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
There are lots of coaches out there that rivals want
to you And I tell you, as much as we
loved Mike Leach, yeah, we wanted him.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
To have a lifetime contract at Washington State.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I think it's a little fan boyish of that kid
to ask that question. Yes, it seems like a question
that somebody who is emotionally compromised by the situation that
USC would ask.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
In my opinion, right.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Like does it bother you that these guys don't even
think you're a proud like that is That's the kind
of question somebody who's invested would ask, not somebody who's
supposed to be impartial. I'm not impartial at all. You're
not impartial at all, and neither of you. So for us,
it's a different story. But it depends on what you're
(33:18):
trying to make out of your life. Right. If you
want to be Softy Dick and Jackson, then go for it.
You want to be John Wilner, don't ask those questions.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Don't ask those questions. I mean, that's a good Is
that fair?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
But then but then you're gonna get link to Lincoln
Rally's point. Though it's a twenty four year old kid,
you don't need to come back with it.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Is there's this is professional you should try it.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
But I think, first of all, I think this is
real life experience for these guys that do these jobs.
And this is not a student at US see is
that correct? I think it's a former student, former student okay,
but he's not he's not learning on the job. This
is not somebody working for the Daily for example, Trojan
Wire is like a USA Today, USA Today, right, so
he's got this is a job.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I don't know. I think it's fair game.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I think if you're a student and you're learning the
business and you're a coach, maybe you're a good SID
would point out who those people are, and maybe you
take take it easy on kids like that that are
in school and getting credit and not being paid.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
But if you're twenty four and you're done, No, man,
let's not bury the lead here. Do we agree with
the sign percent? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I don't feel too. I don't want him going anywhere.
I don't. I think he's better than Clay Hilton, right,
but I think he's the same records.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Did you know that he's got the same forty one
games or fifty one whatever in the hell it is.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
He is the exact same record as Clay Hilton does.
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
And he's making like a gazillion dollars all right? Well,
because like what does Petro say? Petro says, Jen Cohen's
dream is he quits and just takes a different gig,
just quits and just go somewhere else instead of having
to pay him out.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
But nobody's gonna want it.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I don't know, unless he goes to the NFL. But
I don't know why you'd want him back in the NFL.
They're in a bad situation down there, man, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Alright. Humeill enjoins next on ninety three three kJ r
f M
Where week go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't know where to start with yesterday Seahawks game.
First of all, in regards to what's happening here in
the office and on the air, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Did not cover that, sucker.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
This is a game the Seahawks were leading handily, thirty
to ten, six forty to go third quarter.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
We're thinking, well, Factor fiction, that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's done. Thirteen and a half is done. Colts and
Chiefs go to overtime on Sunday. Chiefs don't cover the
three and a half Pittsburgh in their game. They don't
cover Wazoo James Madison, they don't cover we picked a
horrible week to go oh and five boys on Factor fixtion.
I gonna be honest with you. I'm sitting here right
(00:43):
now on this Monday morning. I'm more pissed off about
going oh and five than I am fact in the
factor fiction that I am the Seahawks not covering and
giving up all those junk points.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
In the fourth quarter. I'm not pissed at the Hawks
at all. And I mean I'm reading it.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
On social media some people are I'm like, that is
just human nature.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You have that type of game against the Rams most
teams against that with that type of game against Rams
would show up in Tennessee and just.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Muddle through and barely win.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Our team was up thirty to ten before they turned
the motor off.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, okay, so there's a couple of things here. Number One,
I'd like to disagree with you, but I don't, so
I can't. Okay, I do agree with you. I think
it is human nature. I think it's very hard for
teams when they're leading by twenty points to stay on
the gas with a full twenty minutes of football left
to go and just continue to blow people out of
the water. This isn't college football, right, It's totally different
(01:39):
that touns much cleanness.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And if we both agree with that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Why the hell did you take the Seahawks minus the
thirteen and a half in this game? Why did we
do that? Well, because we all knew this was possible.
We all knew a backdoor cover was possible. We all
knew there was a fact that the Seahawks would get
up big and Tennessee would come back and find a
way to the gap and at least cover. If all
of this is stuff we're saying today on Monday morning,
(02:05):
which I agree with.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Everything coming out of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Then why Jackson did we take the Hawks minus thirteen
and a half, which was the biggest road spread the
Hawks had ever had in their franchise history.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I mean, you're asking me, I'm been torrible at factor
fiction this year.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Another lost week in the pick. I was most calmed.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I mean, listen, I've made it very clear to both
of you off the air how much I'm truly invested
in the competitiveness of Factor fiction.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But I'm just kind of disappointed that.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I'll be honest, I'm different both these I'm more angry
that this youngs couldn't keep the foot on the gas. Listen,
I get it, it's human nature. But the Tennessee Titans suck.
They are a trash organization and football team. This should
not have been a six point game.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Why did we take them? I don't know. Why?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Does Dick you're you're you're so right? And I had
the same conversation with Millen this morning. It was like
a mini version and it reminded me of and I
know it's different, but remember the two thousand and six
Giant game when the Hawks are leading like.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Forty two to three. Oh yeah, they.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Scored twenty seven points in the fourth quarter and they
lost forty two to thirty. So if you hadn't seen
the game, you just saw the score. I think it
was maybe a fairly close game. Remember Jeremy Shockey was
playing tight end for the Giants that day. It was like,
it means nothing. We were down thirty nine. For God's sake.
They pulled everybody. So it's not exactly like that game.
(03:31):
But I would just say this, when you see a
game like that, either at halftime or the third quarter,
and if you can find a way dick to bet
the second half line or a live line somewhere, jump
on it every time, every freaking time. These teams just
they can't do it. They can't keep their foot on
(03:52):
the gas man. And that's another reason why I just
wonder why they hell we took the Hawks anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But look, man, here's the deal.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You can't anticipate a punt return touchdown. Yeah right, I mean,
those things swing lines. My point of taking the Seahawks
was I don't believe the Titans can score offensively more
than thirteen points.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well guess what what did they score? Really offensively?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
They scored with forty seconds left against a defense that
was ben but don't break, just trying to get the game.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Over with, and he scored on a pen return.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
The Seahawks defense played exactly how I thought they would play.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
In that game.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think we need to stay away just for future reference. Okay,
we can decide this now as a group. You stay
away from the mammoth road lines. All right, let's stay away,
all right, unless there's nothing else. If it's the last
pick on a Friday and it's twenty to twenty, I
get it different, animal, But we had plenty to choose from.
And look, we picked a horrible time to go in
(04:49):
five on factor of fiction, and now we're sitting there
in second place, staring up at chucking bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Ass we do it, Okay, we do all right?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, we got a big one coming up here in
about fifteen minutes from now.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I gotta sneak peak. Jackson.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Let's talk about what happened yesterday, because I look at
a football team that honestly, Jackson, you're exactly right, and
I agree with both you guys. Okay, Dick's right and
you're right all right that I'm not angry about it.
This stuff happens the road to the playoffs is fraught
with peril and crazy things. Land mines, the twenty one
(05:23):
to zhing game against the Bucks and thirteen, the fourteen
to nine win against the Rams, on win Football, the
Golden Tate finger Wag game. You're not gonna beat everybody's
ass every single week. And winning on the road is
freaking hard in the NFL. And Mike McDonald, by the way,
is now twelve and two on the roads in fourteen
games as the Seahawk head coach. But you're talking about
the very first drive. You get to the Titan thirty
(05:45):
four and you get shut down, get held to three.
Third drive, first and goal from the two yard line,
and then disaster hits, penalties, all kinds of wacky stuff.
Field goal, fourth drive, first and ten from the Titan thirteen.
This is three of the first four drive right that
the Seahawks had where they were inside the forty two
(06:06):
of them. They're inside the fifteen yard line, and they
come away with nine points. I mean, they easily could
have blown their doors off in the first quarter of
this game and didn't do it. So if there's one
small little thing that I just kind of heat sat
me a little bit from yesterday. I want these guys
when they get inside the five, they get inside the twenty,
(06:27):
to get into a habit of scoring touchdowns. And I
feel like lately there's been times where that's not happening.
I hope it's not a trend.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That's all lately, Right, they've only scored on forty two
percent of their trips inside the red zone touchdowns over
the last three games.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
All I care is touchdowns. I don't care about field goals.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
But for the season, they're still at sixty one and
a half percent, which is eleventh in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
There's still a top third of the NFL red.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Say lately, let's clean that up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Lately they have been poor.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
They are twenty third in the league in the last
three games.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
So, yes, I've been poor lately. Yeah, let's clean it up.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And you know what, again, it's like I said after
the Arizona game, and I was kind of wrong about
it because Sam Donald made mistakes in the Rams game too.
I thought, honestly, guys, that the performance by Donald in
the Arizona game, you have three turnovers or two in
that game. You remember how many turnovers he had the
Arizona game he had. I think he had lost fumble
(07:22):
and a pick against Arizona, had a couple of yesterday too. Yeah,
But my point was that I like the fact that
you can learn those lessons in a victory.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Right, you won forty four to twenty two.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And Sam Donald didn't really play that well because he
had too many turnovers and then he goes out and
he barfs it up again. Against the Cardinals he had
four interceptions or the Ram game, so that didn't come
to fruition. I kind of like the fact that you're
talking about a team doing all these things and they're
not doing them well, and they're a little sloppy, right
(07:52):
the red zone, the picks, the fumbles, whatever, But they're
still winning games and they're still leading.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Thirty to ten in the third quarter of a.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Game like this, So how good Isn't this a sign
that this team can be elite if they can just
clean that stull?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
There's no question in my mind this team can be elite.
There's no question.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And that was hammered home last week in the loss
of the Rams, because it was because they dominated that
game for three quarters and were looked to me like
the better team. But when it comes to Sam Donald,
and his and his turnovers. I'm almost seeing him now
as like, hey, I'm just gonna put up with it.
This is what we're gonna get from Sam Donald. But
the good is so good that I'm almost willing to
put up with the goofy, you know, knock off the
(08:33):
helmet for an interception and to throw it in between
two guys into the you know, double coverage. Sometimes it's
dropped by the defensive back like it was last yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Sometimes it's not.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm kind of willing to just put up with that
stuff because I know I'm gonna get two touchdowns two
hundred and seventy yards hundred passer rated from him, and fine,
I'm gonna sign up for that every time.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
What's the alternative?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The alternative is Gino Smith terrible, absolutely horrible. I mean
he might he may have gotten Ship Kelly fired. Honestly,
the fans off, Yes, well, you know what they're saying
down there now, that guy that had that sign at Lumenfield,
remember the controversy Raider fans like, maybe that guy was right,
(09:17):
maybe he's a bigger bust than JaMarcus russell Man. But yeah,
because that's the alternative, and nobody can argue. Nobody can
argue that this is an upgrade over what they had
a year ago. Nobody can argue that. And you know what,
if you are trying to argue that, you're just being
you're you're being difficult.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Honestly, are there any Genoites left? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
The island is the island? Did all the boats leave?
You are arguing for argument's sake. If you now you
want to argue how good Sam Darnold is, that's fine.
We can debate that all day. I have no problem
with that. Is he a super Bowl caliber quarterback?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Is the elite?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Is he a guy that can perform when the lights
are brightest? That's more than federal. But to sit here
and just say, well, there's still a debate if the
Hawks did the right thing, are you dumb?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Honestly? Are you that dumb that you can't look at
what Gino Smith is doing? Now?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Maybe if Gino Smith was in Seattle with this football team,
he'd be playing better. He's got jack squad around him
in Vegas with the Raiders. But that is the alternative.
So I'm totally with you on that regard defense. Again,
they did exactly what you thought they'd do a little
sloppy late in the game, bringing some backups in.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
They're up twenty, the game's over.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You're looking forward to getting the plane, getting your ass
home to Seattle for a big game on Sunday versus Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But guys, you gotta remember the over under, at least
the one that.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We jumped on at the Emerald Queen was seven and
a half on this football team. That's what Vegas thought
this team was. We're not even to Thanksgiving and they've
already hit it. It's done, it's over with six games
left to go. So I think this team is exceeding
a lot of people's expectations, including the expers in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
And we all knew that the experson in Vegas thought
that Sam Darnold was a turd, and we all said, okay,
because of ex what and we're seeing they know he
isn't a turred. The thing about this team, so if
you cut back to your common a few minutes ago,
I think you nailed it. This team can be elite.
But the emphasis on that word is can. They can,
and we just I think we just need to see it.
(11:13):
We saw it in the Commander's game at most times.
We saw it in the Cardinals game at times. But
when this team finishes the year with three of four
against Indye, La and San Fran, that's when the can
needs to turn into you know, is because those little
mistakes that they make and the near interception that should
have been against a decent defense against you know, the
(11:36):
Titans yesterday that Darnold had, right.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Those little mistakes.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
You can't have those against Indy and La and San
Fran or suddenly that five seed or potentially even if
you grab the Rams, that that's gonna turn into a
six seven and suddenly you're more on the road, you're
facing better teams.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
We can't slip into, no question. That's why it's gotta stop.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's why I mentioned the red zone stuff right certain
and your port about the last three games right there. Overall,
but there's a little bit of a mini trend right
that's developing that we got it. It's like a fungus
as a fungus. There's a there's been a lou that's
moving in.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
The muse next to the robotest We got it.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We gotta get this cleared up now, all right, get
the get your pimple face cleared up before the Procact
or nobody's going home with you.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
But there's one thing we can't. We can debate whether
Sam Donald's elite. We can debate whether Sam Donald's a
championship quarterback, but we can't there There should be no
one out there that is trying to debate that Sam
Donald is not at least a good, if not.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Very good quarterback.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'm sure he has only eight games since the beginning
of last year, eight regular season games out of twenty
eight where he has a passer rating under one hundred.
Patrick Mahomes has seven this season. Sam Donald has eight
in the last two seasons. I'm not saying Sam donalds
a better quarterback than Patrick Mahomes. I'm saying he's having
a better year this year than Patrick Mahomes and he
(12:56):
is at least good, if not a very quarterback.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, he's twenty two and six on his last twenty
eight regular season games.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
All right, that's what he's done.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I mean, he's just the guy that's just getting used
to winning. The feeling of winning, right, which I think
is fairly contagious. I mean, you know, it's like people
talk about losing is contagious, right. The natural movie, like
a disease. It's like a boat gently rocking right. You
can't you can't do it. You can't let that nonsense
move into your locker room. And the Hawks have been
able to not let that happen. I think these are
(13:28):
two games coming up against Minnesota Atlanta that they should
win both.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This should be a ten and three football team.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And what Jackson Smith and Jigba is doing right now,
it's just beyond dumb. It's so dumb because you keep
waiting for some defense somewhere, and I do wonder we
can talk to milling about this. By the way, at
four o'clock. I wonder if even Mike McDonald and Clint
Kubiak are thinking every week, Okay, this is what the
Titans defense will try and do to Jackson Smith and Jigba,
(13:56):
this is what the Rams defense will do, This is
what Raheem Morris will do in a couple of weeks.
And then they don't do it right because there's no
other explanation for what this guy's doing. I mean, he
goes off again, has another big long touchdown to fifty
yard pass plays in the game yesterday. You realize that
this guy is on pace for two thousand and thirty
(14:16):
yards on one hundred and sixty five targets. Calvin Johnson
had nineteen hundred and sixty four on two hundred.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And four, forty more.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Targets than what Jackson Smith and Jigma is on pace for,
but only sixty more yards on forty more targets.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
This guy's turning into a he's big play boss.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
He's a bomba game guy, crazy, a bomba a game
for usually a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So how come nobody can stop the guy? How come
nobody can stop to you?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Question?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Great, how come we're sitting here in week twelve or
week thirteen in the NFL season and nobody can stop
the guy. I mentioned this on the Year a couple
weeks ago, and I got a text from somebody who
so it's almost like Softy's rooting for someone to shut
him down.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'm just flabbergast. Nobody done. It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I mean, is he really, like, are we really looking
a receiver that is that good, that is historically Calvin
Johnson good here in Seattle?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't know. He's certainly having it this season. Numbers
say yes. I mean, how do you argue with it? Man?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I mean he's on pace to have the greatest receiving
year of all time, I mean, at least from a
yardage perspective. And he's not going to come close to
the amount of targets to Calvin Johnson got. He won't
even come close to the amount of targets the Cooper
Cup got in twenty twenty one or Jerry Rice in
nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He broke the Seahawks record before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And to go back to it again, three of those
last four games are against good football teams. You're gonna
need to be throwing probably because it's gonna be closer,
you're gonna be down.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
So those that's those numbers. I don't see them going
off the pace that much.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Well he's doing it, I mean, nobody else is stepping
up like that's the thing, right there's he's got no
reports on IR Yeah, which, by the way, we got
to talk about that too. Tory Horton misses two games
and then they put him on the eye. Did they
not do the same thing with Julian Love where he
missed a couple of games too, and then they decide, okay,
he's going on the IR. So a four game visit
(16:07):
to the IR turns into six games off. Yeah, can
somebody explain to me how that keeps happening Over at
the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I think they're hoping that they get right and they
just don't after a couple weeks.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, maybe we should stop hoping and just get these
guys on the IR as soon as possible. Tory Horton's
gonna miss the next RAM game. I mean, come on, guys,
like this is getting crazy. Here is McDonald just telling
these guys to rub some dirt on it and suck
it up and get back in there. And then he realizes, oh,
maybe they are really hurt and they can't go because
(16:41):
this is twice now this has happened. We got to
talk to you about this at four o'clock. All right,
Factor Fiction, we are poised, hopefully for a comeback. We
better be poised for one, otherwise we're finished. Bad week
to go zher to five, which is a good week
to buy the dip Right next on ninety three to
three KJARFM from the R and.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
R Foundation is Broadcast Studio.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Now back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for
the Huskies, Krakin and the Twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ r FM.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
All right, Factor fiction brought to you by the Lucky
Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day Feels Lucky. Coming
up in a matter of minutes here in the radio
show The Fun with Audio three forty five Hu Milling
a little more at four with you coming up on
ninety three to three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Listen to you often because you're not interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I do want to ask him about the Tory Horton
and Julian Love thing. Julian Love is now eligible, by
the way, to come back off the IR.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
He's missed seven games.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He didn't play for three games and then they put
him on the IR and he misses four.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Doesn't seem like they're missing a beat either. Yeah, well exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
It's like, why pay anybody, right, what's the point of
paying anybody on defense?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Just find eleven guys paying the league. Man, I'm go
and spend all your money on offense.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, we'll put that Tyle Coutt in, I'll put Drake
Thomas in, We'll put Patrick O'Connell.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And I'm telling you, man, it's owns Ludacris And I'm
being half sarcastic. But why the hell wouldn't you just
go cheap on defense? Because the most expensive meaningful bill
that you've got is whatever you're paying the head coach.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
That's right, and right now he has got it in
such lock he has plug and play. Patrick O'Connell, Yeah, really,
maybe had the best game of any defender.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yes, you could make up a name and I would
buy it. Bob Sweetman. Who the hell's Bob's sweet He's good?
How about the Huskies on Saturday getting the road monkey
off their back a little bit with a winever Ucla?
I mean, I will be honest with you that Ucla
looked awful at times in that game. The fake field
goal that they pulled was just ridiculously stupid. I mean,
(18:43):
it's thirteen to nothing at the time, right, you take
the three, you're thirteen three, you're down ten, you go
to the break, you regroup, you get the ball to
start the second half, maybe you get something crazy, you
score and it's thirteen ten. Instead, they run this ridiculous
field goal, which Greg meant into the postgame show Saturday
looked even dumber than the one that we ran against
(19:03):
Ohio State early in the year, which I don't think
it was that dumb the game with the one with
the buck eyes, because I think they were kind of
in dire straits there a little.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Bit um yeah, I mean, but I get it.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I get the point right, But got dude, Dick, here's
the thing everything for you, dub, it felt like to me, offensively,
everything started with that draw touchdown by Demon Williams. When
they started running him and taking advantage of his legs,
everything seemed to kind of be different and everything seemed
to open up for them offensively, and I don't know,
(19:36):
I want to see more of that this Saturday versus Oregon. Dude,
I just think you've got this major weapon in Demon
Williams legs, and I kind of feel like at times
I'm not saying he's thinking like this or trying to
do this, but it looks to me like Jed Fish
is trying to turn Demon Williams into Peyton Manning or
Tom Brady when he should be Michael Vick or Randall
(19:56):
Cunningham right just taking off Russell Wilson, and I feel
there's a big weapon on that offensive side of the
ball that they just have not tapped enough this.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Year, and maybe they're waiting to tap it for Oregon.
You agree with that, by the way, Yes, I absolutely
agree that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I love when he gets outside the pocket and a quarterback,
hell quarterback sweeps around the end with lead with lead blockers.
I'm just I go back to how I felt about
this game. I didn't think the Huskies were going to lose.
But in no way, shape or form did I thought
the game. Did I think the game was going to
go like that? You have won one out of ten there,
you had won two road games in two years. I
(20:31):
don't care what UCLA looked like. That was a good win.
You had literally basically had four offensive starters out and
you put up forty eight points on the road against
the Big ten team. So I am not buying any
of the social media though. It's just UCLA. We still
like there was a lot of just negative nancies last week,
(20:54):
and I get it, But they beat UCLA by a
billion this weekend.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Focus on that. I'm agreeing with you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They they've already shown that they are capable of going
on the road and losing to a bad team.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Okay, remember that, I think.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I said a couple of weeks ago after the after
that Wisconsin loss that when I play used to play
college football video games and we had the BCS system,
and when you lose your second game, you're done. There's
no chance you're making the net. So I would just
simulate the rest of the season because who cares.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And if you go.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Back and look at the simulated season and you say, oh, wow,
we blew out UCLA on the road, you think of
a damn about that, Like, it's still just gives this
really bad taste no matter what I mean, like not
to say that I am one of the Debbie downers, Dick,
but I definitely kind of looked at that game and went, good,
you did what you were supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But boy, it.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Doesn't change anything like this game this week should have
meant so much more.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I totally and I get it. I think the one
thing it does is if they had lost the game
or even played terribly and won the game, the questions
that we were talking about over the offseason about the
road stuff were doing that, right, We're still doing that
and put it to bed, all right. I Mean I'm
not saying you can put it to bed entirely, but
you can kind of start to put it to bed
at a minimum.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Right, We got a new plane, we got.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
New food, we hired a new nutritionist, We talked about McDonald,
we talked to the Seahawks and okay, well then for
what to go two and three on the road with
one win over Wazoo.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I mean, that's what you did all that for.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
They had to have that otherwise everything would have been
the same over the offseason. So there's a lot more
on this to get to. We'll play that clip Jackson
later in the show. Sorry about that. I know you're
scrambling to find it. But Factor fiction right now, brought
to you by the Lucky Eagle where set to go.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Ten thousand dollars grand price.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
It's factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and
hotel where every day Feels Lucky.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Fact Door Fiction.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Is on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Film.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
All right, so here's the deal. We sucked last week.
There's no other way around it, guys, we stunk. We
were a turd sandwich wrapped in a turd tortilla on
a table.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Made of turds.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
All Right, that's what we were oh and five, oh
and five, first winless week of the year for us,
and if I'm looking at the show standings correctly, only
the second winless week by any show on the air.
Ian Ferness went oh and five and week three, So
we picked a bad time to go in five. We
(23:27):
lost three games by a point and a half combined.
By the way, are you saying by the dip, Dave, Yes,
I'm saying by the dip. And here's the deal. You
know who else had a worse week than we did.
The Philadelphia Eagles. After blowing a twenty one to nothing
lead against the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, they are good and pisched.
They're playing the Chicago Bears this Friday. Go hear the
(23:49):
game right here on ninety three to three KJRFM. At
twelve o'clock, they're given six and a half and the
Philadelphia Eagles are back at home where they're angry about
what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Again is Dallas.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
The Bears, I believe are a better team than they
were a year ago, but they're not NFC North champion
good in my opinion, and they're getting it on eight
and three versus eight and three Eagles given six and
a half, We're taking Philadelphia in this game. Philly minus
the points coming off a embarrassing loss to Dallas over
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Ride that D that has allowed Kansas City to score
seventeen points, It has allowed Green Bay to score seven points.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It is allowed Detroit to score nine points.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Ride that d Confuse Caleb Williams, turn the guy over.
My only concern at all, I'm with you on this pick.
I will say my only concern at all is Philadelphia
doesn't win by margin very often.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Their biggest twins of the year they're yeah, they are.
They bet.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
They beat the Rams by seven and they beat the
Giants by eighteen. Other than that, in every game they
would not have covered the six and a half point spreads.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So yep, well we are uh.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
We are now falling percentage points behind Chuck and Buck
for the overall championship.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
So we need a big, big week.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
We need a big finish here, guys in Factor Fiction,
and not many chances left to do it with a
short week.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right, It's three games this week and five games next week?
Is that right? Jackson?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Two more weeks left of Factor Fiction, by the way,
With our horrible performance, you have now fallen into fifth
place overall, behind Mark James.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I have fallen to sixth place behind you. How does
that make you feel? Not a good feeling. Yeah, but
it's it's midway through the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I okay, time to time to rework it. I will
be upset if I finish in fifth place. It will
be my lowest finish I think in this history of
this game, and I will be pissed.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Jackson, It's gonna ruin Christmas for this guy will if
he doesn't get it together, It's gonna ruin Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So I'll just say what I said, miserable. You know what,
we won this thing for the three game family.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
We won this thing three straight years, right, it was
at twenty two or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And what did we get for winning this three years?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Not?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Jack Squad, Jack Patuti? Is what we got? Nothing? Nothing?
Jack PATUITI we got nothing? All right?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Seahawks are the Eagles minus the point sorry at home
against the Bears.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You like, in fact you hate it.

for visiting media do visiting media from other towns like
to drink out of the urinal?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Is that a thing in other towns that cover the NFL? Sometimes?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
All right, here we go headline excuse me, headlines fun
with audio slash hate.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
As you hear that, Hey, Dick, did you happen to
hear that? What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Where as I was starting college basketball? Andrea Hurley or
is it? Andrea Hurley, wife of Yukon basketball coach Dan Hurley,
sat down with ESPN's Jeremy Shapp for an interview recently
and talked about her husband's lack of life skills.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
When I leave to go to Jersey, if I'm not
there for the night, he can't even order food on
his phone. Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
He sounds useless. He's useless. He'd better do this job
right because other than that, forget about it. Do something.
Trips over the garbage, Take the garbage out? He has
to take the guards out?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Does j Wright take the garbage out?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That's the line I get. That's what I get, Jay right,
take the garbage chat.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I know people like that, by the way, that are
totally useless once their spouses leave. Both ways, men and
women can't do anything. By themselves, and it's scary if
somebody dies.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And they're left alone. They don't know how to breathe
on their own.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I mean, do you think he's happy though, that she
set all that stuff? Or is she just because she
sounds like a Jersey girl busting his chops a little bit?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Right? He's a Jersey guy. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I don't think she goes on TV and says that
unless it's kind of all good fun.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
But that's just me probably Now, he seems like such
a miserable lesson. Oh he's nuts, he's nuts. Crazy. They're
a more miserable guy in college basketball.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And she doesn't sound like somebody to be all too
thrilled to be with him if he's not making four
million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
She sounds to me like somebody that you don't want
to cross, by the way, that's what she sounds like, man,
Real Housewives of New Jersey kind of that you know.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Wife say that in public? Like of course she would.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
She would, Yes, Gina absolutely would say something like that.
She would air my ass out, man, no doubt. I
was talking to a guy the other day, I said,
you know, what are you doing for dinner? It's like, well,
I don't really cook, Well what do you do? I
just get fast food. People are like that. That's what
they that's how they roll. It's weird, man, people are weird.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
After Oregon bet usc forty two twenty seven Saturday, Ducks
coach Dan Lanning was asked how the CFP committee should
view Oregon after beating the Drojans.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Just played a really good team. We beat him, and
a lot of times we play really good teams that
become unranked all of a sudden. That's not our fault, right,
maybe it is our fault, but proofs in the pudding. Right,
played a good team, we beat him, right. All we
can do next week is try to do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Right. We didn't play Chattanooga.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
State today, right like some other places, right, we competed,
So you know that being said, it's tough playing nine
conference games, it's tough playing in this league. And we
and we got to take advantage of playing a good
team today and to attacking that.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So that was a shot at the sec from Dan
Lanning right there. This was the annual let's take a
week off week for the SEC. Alabama played Eastern Illinois,
Georgia played Charlotte A and M played Sam Third.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
The last year, right, yes're going to nine.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, next year or two years, but they are going
South Carolina Coastal Carolina. Auburn played Mercer LSU played Western Kentucky.
It also sounds like a dude to me that Noses
got to kind of pump up his team's resume a
little bit that if they lose this game on Saturday
to Washington, despite being fifth in the EIGHTP poles, that
right right now, there's a chance they may not make
(30:36):
the CFP if they lose this game to U dub
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, I mean if they lost on a last second
field goal or if you know, god willing they missed
the field goal at the last second, I still think
they would go. But if the Huskies defense shows up
like they've showed up every single game this season, yeah,
and more has a tough time scoring, and the Dogs
find a way to win twenty.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Seven to ten, then yeah, they might be done. Big question.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
They might be done. They might be done. We'll talk
to Wilner about that tomorrow. I know I was talking
to Jerry Allen for a little pregame thing Saturday, and
he's concerned. He says, if they lose, it's not a
guarantee that we're going.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So you could get the biggest win of Jetfish's career
and you could knock the Ducks out of the CFP
at the same time on Saturday. That sounds good to me.
Let's do that, all right? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Three?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Four, five six? You picked Jackson three? But slow soft, okay?
Like Annuncia, I know you're gonna want to rush through
this as a long one.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Take your time. You know him, don't you.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Adam Bradford as a twenty four year old freelance writer.
He covers USC football for USA Today and Trojan Wire.
We don't have good audio of the question here, but
after the loss to Oregon on Saturday, Bradford asked head
coach Lincoln Riley quote, there was a sign at College
Game Bay this morning from an Oregon fan that said,
(31:53):
extend Lincoln Riley's contract. What are your thoughts on the
fact that opposing fan bases don't view you as a.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Threat to them? Here is Lincoln Riley's response.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That might be the dumbest question I've been asked as
long as I've been a head coach, and I've been
asked a lot of questions.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You ought to feel little embarrassed asked that question. This
is a professional thing you ought to try.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Wow, Well that's cry to a kid twenty four year old.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Oh god, I think it's a legitimate question. Well, I mean,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Think it's one that I would ask, And that is
the exact phrasing, by the way, But it's.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
A legitimate question.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
There are lots of coaches out there that rivals want
to you And I tell you, as much as we
loved Mike Leach, yeah, we wanted him.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
To have a lifetime contract at Washington State.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I think it's a little fan boyish of that kid
to ask that question. Yes, it seems like a question
that somebody who is emotionally compromised by the situation that
USC would ask.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
In my opinion, right.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Like does it bother you that these guys don't even
think you're a proud like that is That's the kind
of question somebody who's invested would ask, not somebody who's
supposed to be impartial. I'm not impartial at all. You're
not impartial at all, and neither of you. So for us,
it's a different story. But it depends on what you're
(33:18):
trying to make out of your life. Right. If you
want to be Softy Dick and Jackson, then go for it.
You want to be John Wilner, don't ask those questions.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Don't ask those questions. I mean, that's a good Is
that fair?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
But then but then you're gonna get link to Lincoln
Rally's point. Though it's a twenty four year old kid,
you don't need to come back with it.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Is there's this is professional you should try it.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
But I think, first of all, I think this is
real life experience for these guys that do these jobs.
And this is not a student at US see is
that correct? I think it's a former student, former student okay,
but he's not he's not learning on the job. This
is not somebody working for the Daily for example, Trojan
Wire is like a USA Today, USA Today, right, so
he's got this is a job.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I don't know. I think it's fair game.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I think if you're a student and you're learning the
business and you're a coach, maybe you're a good SID
would point out who those people are, and maybe you
take take it easy on kids like that that are
in school and getting credit and not being paid.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
But if you're twenty four and you're done, No, man,
let's not bury the lead here. Do we agree with
the sign percent? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I don't feel too. I don't want him going anywhere.
I don't. I think he's better than Clay Hilton, right,
but I think he's the same records.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Did you know that he's got the same forty one
games or fifty one whatever in the hell it is.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
He is the exact same record as Clay Hilton does.
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
And he's making like a gazillion dollars all right? Well,
because like what does Petro say? Petro says, Jen Cohen's
dream is he quits and just takes a different gig,
just quits and just go somewhere else instead of having
to pay him out.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
But nobody's gonna want it.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I don't know, unless he goes to the NFL. But
I don't know why you'd want him back in the NFL.
They're in a bad situation down there, man, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
