Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where we go. Send us your best ticks to four nine,
four or five one. I'll be honest with me.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I like to watch TV with my hand down my pants.
That's what I do. My dad did it.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I do it.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I probably stole it from him. I cannot watch TV
and sticking my hand down my pants.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
I pull out hairs from my beard all day every day.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Just single hair, really, And what do you do with them?
Just throw them so like rise it might like see
them on the couch. We vacuum once a week so
it's it doesn't pile up. Yeah, just like just a
hair Like for me, it's just a stress thing. And
I'll just I'll just yank out of hair and I'll
just just drop on the floor of the couch or
whatever chair you're sitting in. I just you, guys know,
(00:39):
I have an insane amount of hair.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You're very hairy.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Your very hair is there like some kind of like
a disease or whatever. It's not like a hairy disease
or something.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I don't know, but like this thing, like I have
a lot of This is things like five weeks. This
is five weeks where the hair on my face and
and it just I try to maintain.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
That is insane. I couldn't grow that a year. That
is five weeks. Yeah, it's it's stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I hate hyper trichosis, excessive hair growth anywhere on the body.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Must have that hair hary. What does your back look like?
It's very, very hairy. I'm really hairy. So need that drop?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I need that.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
So we've learned today that we've learned today that Jackson
is teen wolf. Yeah, apparently I do the I do
the like the knee, the foot up and down, and.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It only bothers Softy at the Emerald Queen because we
sit on the same side of the table. Yeah, and
there's a tablecloth, so the tablecloth jitters.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's she's yells at me. But I do it every day.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm gonna come over here, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm sit right next to Dick.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Imagine he's him, and I'm like, I'm doing this.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I don't hit the table with the whole I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
He's at the table with it like it's like he's
got to take a massive leak and he's about a
half an hour away from getting to go to the bathroom,
just shaking his calories.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Do I burn every day? Just unknown. I wonder the
same thing. Probably burn a hundred calies do that. Here's
what you could have. You could have hypertrichosis. You could
have hair suitism. What's that excessive hair growth in women?
You don't have that?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You could have cant syndrome, a rare genetic condition with hypertrichosis,
distinctive facial features and heart defects.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So you might want to check on that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Ambros syndrome, a congenital form of hypertrichosis that may worsen
with age. You make it hairrier, is what they're saying here. Hypertrichosis.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Q beat. Do you have that?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Excessive hair on the extensor surfaces of the elbows, sometimes
associated with other symptoms.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Wow, that is a lot of dude. That is unbelievable.
That's five weeks. Are we playing Oregon?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
On Sunday? I don't care. That's my riata. What do
you want from me? Big weekend?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Can you bet player props in this game on Sunday
for the Seahawks? Like over under yards for Jackson Smith
and Jigma, whatever the number is. Why would you not
just take the over? I mean, the Vikings secondary's been
terrible all year long. Nobody can stop Jackson Smith and Jigba.
They keep trying. Tory Horton's on the IR. We know
he's not going to play. They got no choice but
to keep going back to Jaysen. Rashid Shaheed hasn't done
(03:25):
a lot so far since he showed up here, but
we'll get him a little bit of a break and
see if he can kind of work himself into the offense.
I was looking at some numbers on Jackson Smith and Jigba.
You know what I think we should be doing. By
the way, we should be talking about JSN breaking Calvin
Johnson director, but doing it in sixteen games. Calvin Johnson
in twenty twelve had nineteen hundred and sixty four yards
on two hundred and four targets, but that came in
(03:48):
sixteen games. Jackson Smith and Jigba over seventeen is projected
to get to twenty twenty nine, but only one hundred
and sixty five targets. So literally he would have sixty
more yards receiving than Calvin Johnson on forty less targets
than what Calvin Johnson had in twenty twelve. So here's
(04:11):
here's the number. If we want him to break it
in sixteen games. He needs stavage one hundred and thirty
one yards a game. The rest of the way one
hundred and thirty one okay, the rest of the way.
There's no way he's doing that, or one hundred and
nine in the final six games of the year that
he can do to get it in seventeen ats that
he can do.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I just I kind of see this game though on Sunday.
I buy a little bit into the Brian Floores nose.
Sam Darnold like the back of his hand. He practiced
against him all year last year with his defense, So
I don't they are I just don't think Sam has
a huge game. I think the Seahawks win comfortably, but
(04:47):
I don't necessarily think it's because the passing game goes on.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, I mean, look, I was on with Paul Allen today.
We were talking about that. Let me know when Florio's on.
By the way, you forgot, didn't you, yep? Talking about
how hair you are. We I have to call Mike
hair in his brain.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
He might have hair in his.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Ears cupping factor fiction to be fair.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But they they obviously look at this game and they
feel a lot of pain. I mean, Sam Darnold playing
against Minnesota, with what he's doing, with what's happening with
the quarterback situation down there in Minneapolis. I mean, they're
gonna be on their third guy now with Brozmur. It's
a freaking mess. And we'll talk about that later on.
But I'm just having a hard time the more the
days go by, I'm struggling to figure out what the
(05:26):
hell the Vikings were thinking.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
To be honest with you, all right, let's get to it.
Mike Florio joining us right now.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
It's time for a weekly conversation with Pro Football Talks
Mike Florio, brought to you by Simply Seattle. Tired of
buying and repping the same old Seattle sports gear everyone
else has. For the best Storm, Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Rainiers, Sounders,
and not to mention, the largest Sonics collection in the world,
check out simply Seattle dot com. Now with Mike Florio,
(05:52):
here's Softy and Dick.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
All right, here we go on a busy Wednesday afternoon
right here on ninety three to three KJRFM. Let's make
this quick as our next guest is busy getting prepping
for a West Virginia Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Here he is from the NFL and NBC Pro Football
Talk dot Com, our friend Michael Florio joining us on
the radio program What's Up, Butthole?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
How are you man?
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I'm doing fine.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
And before we all put our hands inside of the
turkey's butthole, let me just be clear there is no
difference between the West Virginia Thanksgiving and the non West
Virginia Thanksgiving. There will be no squirrel wow, there will.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Be no varmints.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
We will eat the usual food and use the indoor plumbing, okay,
and have our shoes on and gather around and watch
three good football games with my.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Main goal not passing out during the Cowboy game. Every
year I say I'm not going to pass out during
the Cowboy game, and every year I fail.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Do you at least use the you bring the good
whiskey out though for Thanksgiving, I only drink good whiskey.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I mean, okay, so you know.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
I'm not drinking rot gut. Look at the other days
of the year. It's one of the perks having a
good job.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Let's move on from all the roadkill talk and let's
get to some actual football. Let's start with what's going
to happen this Sunday between Sam Darnold and Minnesota. Can
we now look back and say the Vikings made a
mistake not bringing back either one of Sam Darnold or
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Well, that's the easy answer. I think the bigger picture
and I wrote about this today and I've been talking
about it this week on PFT, and I wish that
I had thought of it back in March. The one
thing that I had heard back in March, as Donald
was approaching free agency, Daniel Jones is approaching free agency.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
There's noise that Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
Wants to come play for the Vikings, and the Vikings
say no, no, no.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
We have to see what we have in JJ McCarthy.
And I understand that.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
But I was also getting the vibe from people who
were dealing with the Vikings at the time, and nobody
really knew who was making the decision. And my biggest
criticism Vikings now, look, JJ McCarthy doesn't look the part.
The numbers support it. I've watched fifty years of football.
You can just tell when a quarterback has it and
when a quarterback doesn't. And his biggest problem is I
think he's trying too hard, and he's thinking too much
(08:13):
because he feels compelled.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
To justify the decision the Vikings made.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
I think the Vikings aired in not looking at all
of the circumstances as they existed after the twenty twenty
four season and recognizing what it would mean to McCarthy
to say, we could have had the guy who won
fourteen and three last year. We could have kept Daniel Jones, who, frankly,
and there was noise to this effect during the postseason.
(08:40):
They were thinking about putting Jones on the field instead
of Donald during the postseason, especially after that Week eighteen
debacle in Detroit where they could have had the one
seed but all of a sudden, Zam Darnold was throwing,
you know, volleyballs into the front row, and then they
say no to Rogers. I just think they failed to
understand the pressure they were putting on JJ McCarty. And
(09:01):
I think that that and also, if someone pointed out
to me today after I wrote about the failure to
understand how much pressure they were putting on McCarthy's, there
was a complete failure to reduce expectations.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
The idea was, hey, we've got this super Bowl ready team.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
And all we got to do is plug in one
of these young quarterbacks, and you know he plays like
Jaydon Daniels or Caleb Williams to a certain extent, bow knicks.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
We're fine. Everything will be fine.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
And I think you put it all together, and I
just wonder within the Viking's organization, who is the person
who is responsible for coming up with short and long
term strategies because that person failed, and maybe there's no one,
and maybe the decision shows that there's no one who's
kind of guiding the ship and saying, hey, wait a minute,
we're creating a huge problem here by putting way too
(09:45):
much pressure, too high of expectations on this kid who
missed all of his rookie season. And that's part of
the pressure he's feeling too. He didn't play it all
last year. He's got to prove them right, he's got
to prove that he's good.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
He's got to carry this burden.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
And so, in hindsight, considering all of that, they should
have come up with a different plan. And if JJ
McCarthy didn't like it, so what he's going to contract
for three more years?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
You explain it to him and say, look, this is
how it can go.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
If we let all these guys go and we give
you the ball, and it can end up being bad
for everyone including you.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
So is JJ just going to be handed the job
next year or is there a situation where maybe they
know they sign a mac Jones and bring him in
as competition or potentially be the starter.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
There, but they wouldn't be able to sign him.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
That's the trade trade for him.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Yeah, that was one of the wise things the forty
nine ers did. They learned with Sam Darnold. Don't sign
these guys to one year contracts. Signed of the two
year contract so you can control their rights after that
first season if there's a.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Market out there.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
There's been some stuff perpolating in the circles that I
traffic in regarding mac Jones to the Vikings possibly next year,
and there aren't a ton of options next year. There
aren't a bunch of free agents that teams will be
competing to try to get.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
It's going to be one of these guys I think.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Under contract who is a backup but has some value,
you know, even a Davis Mills who has played surprisingly
well for the Texans in recent weeks. But I think
the Vikings need to explore all options, and they need
to at a minimum bring in somebody who will push
JJ McCarthy as a legitimate competition.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
That's some fake phony beloney.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
You know what people thought that Daniel Jones thing was
with Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
No, that was a real competition.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
And the Coats were willing to admit their mistake, because
the worst thing you can do in the surest sign
of dysfunctional organization when you make a mistake, do you
admit it or do you double down? And if the
Vikings double down next year, then I'm already thinking they
are the highest functioning dysfunctional team in the.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
NFL right now.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
If they double down on McCarthy, they are flat out
big d dysfunctional.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, speaking of dysfunctional, how about our guy Pete Carroll
in Vegas with the Raiders. Do you know Smith flipping
off the Raider fans walking off the field.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
They're terrible, They're going nowhere?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Are we starting to believe, Mike that there is a
sliver of a chance that Pete Carroll might be one
and done in Vegas?
Speaker 7 (12:03):
And first of all, Gino's my guy. He was great
at West Virginia.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
The video I've seen It's not clear that it was
a Raiders fan or a Browns fan, and I'm not
condoning it. He's gonna get fined for it. It was
funny how he kind of low key tried to do it,
but it may have been a Browns fan that was
out of line. We saw what he did when he
came back to Seattle and they were riding him in
the preseason.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
He gave a full.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Blown, no hesitation, double barrel middle fingers then. But with Pete,
this chip Kelly thing, I thought that they couldn't coexist
into next year. The fact that Pete fired Chip Kelly
with games left in a lost season. This isn't the
Ravens in twenty twelve when Cam Cameron got fired and
they made Jim Caldwell the offensive coordinator and that led
a few that led all the way to a Super
(12:43):
Bowl win.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
I don't know if you guys remember that that.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Was thirteen years ago. That turned around the offense for
the Ravens that year and delivered the only Super Bowl
leavee once since the year two thousand. I think this
is just, Hey, somebody had to go. This thing's not working.
Chip Kelly's not running the offense. The way that Carroll
wants it, and I suspect the decision was made after
last Monday night, when they had like three or four
rushing attempts in the first half threw the ball way
(13:08):
too much, even though Pete Carroll had made it clear
they want to run the ball. But you can't fire
Chip Kelly on Tuesday. With the game on Sunday and
the fact that it happened so quickly after the game
on Sunday, it just tells me that was when the
last straw hit the camel's back. And I just wonder
what happens with Pete Carroll after this season. If I'm Pete,
I may think I've had enough. I got this Tom
(13:29):
Brady guy blowing up my phone trying to tell me
how to do my job. Life's too short to deal
with him. And I don't know that that's true, but
I suspect that Tom Brady, who is basically the owner's
right hand man and the primary voice that influences Mark Davis.
I suspect Brady is trying to exert himself, and if
he's not there with his sleeves rolled up working, I
think it quickly creates resentment among the people who are working.
(13:52):
It wouldn't surprise me if just all things considered, Pete says,
I'm out of here, And it wouldn't surprise me if
Tom Brady whispers and Mark Davis you got a fire,
Pete caerl.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Wow, Mike, there are eleven teams right now that are
shorter than fifteen to one odds to win the Super
Bowl and we're at Thanksgiving. I can't remember the last
time that has happened. Is this Is this a shift
in the NFL that we're going to see for a while,
or is this just kind of a one year aberration?
Speaker 7 (14:18):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
We thought it was going to be Chiefs and Eagles'
best two teams ruling the roost.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
Again, and it still could be them.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
It would be the most unlikely circuitous route for those
two teams to get there, especially the Chiefs, who have
a lot of work to do to even make the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
But it does feel wide open.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
And when I say that, people say, well, wait a minute,
the Rams are clearly the best team right now.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
But you know what the rams worst nightmare.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
I think is having both the Seahawks and the forty
nine ers in the playoffs and having one or both
of those teams roll into Sofi Stadium in the postseason.
We've seen that dynamic before. And when you have a
team who has the one seed and another team from
their division makes it in Paul Man, they love nothing
more than to end your magical run. And they're not
(15:04):
intimidated by you. They know the locker room, they know
the field. They are not going to be wide eyed
all we're supposed to lose.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
They are going to relish the opportunity to beat you.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
And I think above all else, the forty nine Ers
if they get a shot at the Rams. First of all,
they ought to beat them in so far. And secondly,
you think they want the Rams playing in the Super
Bowl at their stadium. Hell no, So I think the
Rams would be my pick right now to win it.
But I also think Seahawks at Rams or forty nine
Ers at Rams could be deadly to the Rams chances
(15:34):
of getting there.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well, that Thursday night game is going to be huge.
You've been to Levi Stadium. I know you ever been
in the men's room in the press box. By the way, Levice, I've.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Never been in the press box. Wait, I wasn't in
the press box that I haven't been in to the
men's room. I didn't stay for Super Bowl fifty because
we were launching PFT live on NBCSM the next morning,
so I came home.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
That's the only Super Bowl other than the COVID one
that I haven't done to. But but I did go
up to the press box.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
And hang out with our guy Paul Allen. During the
playoff game, when the Vikings were kind of giving the
forty nine Ers a run for their money, Jimmy Garoppolo
kept throwing passes to Eric Kendricks. He caught one, dropped
two others, and.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Then the forty nine Ers. That was when they decided,
you know what.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Let's just not throw the ball. Let's just hand off
and hand off and hand off. And they carried that
mentality all the way to the Super Bowl that year.
I didn't make it to the breast room to finally
answer your question.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah no, there's a sign above the urinal in the
men's room that says, don't drink the water.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I swear to God in San Francisco at Levi Stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So just in case you were thinking about sticking your
head in the urinal with the press box, men's room.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Don't do it.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I appreciate that guid and it really comes in handy
and may it saved me from a significant calamity.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Thank you, Mike, you're the man. Thank Giving.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
I'll just drink the urinal water at Heinz Field.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
There you go, much better, much cleaner, as a matter
of fact, comes right out straight from the river.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Great stuff to you and your family.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Happy Thanksgiving, enjoyed tomorrow and we'll talk in a week.
Speaker 3 (16:58):

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Blood Works NW dot org slash music. So I'm breaking
news from baseball. John Hayman the first to report that
Dylan Cease, free agent pitcher from the Padres, is getting
seven years, two hundred and ten million dollars thirty million
dollars a year from the Toronto Blue Jays. I was
just looking up. He's actually older than Tarek's Scooball. He
(18:17):
turns thirty in December and Schooble just turned twenty nine,
like a week ago. So Scoobal is going to pitch
the entire year at twenty nine. So if Dylan Cease
is getting thirty million dollars a year for the next
seven years, what is Trek Scuball going to command for
Gott's sakes, he might it.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Might be fifty million a year. I mean, I just don't.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I don't see a lot of similarities between Trerek scuobl
and Don't Cease, to be perfectly honest with you, which
has got news for Trek scuball. Yeah, I mean Cease
was eight and twelve with a four or five five era.
I just counted ten starts this year where he didn't
get out of the fifth.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, ten times he didn't get out of the fifth.
And he's getting thirty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
We had twenty four starts for he'll three runs are less.
Last year and two years ago he finished top four
in the Cy Young voting. He also started one hundred
and sixty two games in five years. He's a fricking workhorse,
this guy man, and he's got a beard that's harrier
than Jackson's. By the way, Look, I don't know, man,
I just think there's a lot of teams that are
throwing around funny money. I don't think the Mariners are
(19:20):
ever going to be a part of that as long
as John Stanton and Chris Larson are the majority owners
of this baseball team. But it does make you think,
I mean, look up for example, how far away are
Logan Gilbert and George Kirby from being free agents? These
two guys, I know they got arbitration coming up. Obviously,
Gilbert is going to be a free agent in twenty eight,
(19:45):
so he's got three more years left to go. So
if guys are making thirty million dollars right now with
a four and a half ERA, and that's just coming
off last year, I understand it. There's a lot more
context there for Dylan cease than just last season. But
we're talking two three more years with this pitching staff
before you got to start really ponying up.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
To keep these guys right twenty nine for Kirby.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, I mean, they might be making fifty million just
because it's twenty nine. Honestly, in four or five years
from now, I think, what do those contracts look like
with those two guys? Don't you sign them both in
the next.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Couple of years? No, you sign him now? Yeah, next
couple of years. You do it.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Now, you do the same thing with them that you
did with Callan Hooley. You're set, that's right, and you're
paying him twenty million.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Why do you think we asked Logan Gilbert last time
he was on with us, if the EM's have approached
him yet about a contract, and he said.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
We should go back and listen to that the last
time he was on the air with us, because I
think he told us that was something he was going
to want to talk about over the offseason. I would
absolutely start to think about locking these guys up. I
know it's a little bit different sometimes with pitchers and
hitters because you worry about the arm trouble and all
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
They're not thirty.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You've got so many guys, man, so many guys that
are going to be free agents down the road. Bryce Miller,
Brian Wu, Logan, Gilbert George Kirby. I don't know if
you have to do it right now, for example this season,
because you got a couple of years left with those
guys before they hit free agency. But man, if those
guys keep doing what they're doing, the longer you wait,
the more it's gonna cost you on the back end
(21:11):
of a contract. There's no question, let's get the factor
fiction right now.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What's that to go?
Speaker 10 (21:15):
Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's
Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
where every day feels lucky. Fact Door Fiction is on
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It helps my turn my mic on. By the way,
we are back.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Factor Fiction brought to by our friends at the Lucky
Eagle Casino where every day feels lucky. Wednesday before Thanksgiving,
it's Jackson's Day, and Jackson, I want you to just
go with your gut here. Don't make a pick that
we influenced you with. Don't let me, Dick or anybody
else get in your head. You're a smart kid, although
you do have some weird hairy disease, whatever it is,
(22:01):
just go ahead and make your selection, because I want
you to know that I believe in you.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I want to pick a good football team, just a
very good football team.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Why, of course, Georg I don't believe in all Right,
you're done. You have any more clips to say?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Forever?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No? No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
The the Colts are good and pissed boys. Yes they
have not they have not had a home game in
Indianapolis in a month. Yes, they are finally coming home. Meanwhile,
the Texans are coming off of an upset win over
the Bill, so they're fat and happy. They actually have
three straight wins. Davis Mills is a turd. He's due
for a loss. The line is only four. I think
(22:43):
the Colts win this game by at least ten. Jonathan
Taylor is gonna run all over that defense that James
Cook just trashed. I think the Indianapolis Colts getting giving
four is a weird line.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So give me Indy minus four at home. Finally, all right,
so I will give you a little previews.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So Dick and I this morning taped a pick in
the Locks with Mark, James and Rest for Friday, and
they asked us to give five games a piece. Well,
Dick went with the Texans plus the points, to which
I followed up with the Colts minus the points with you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
How about that? By the way, it's.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Two on one, right, two on one you and me
against Dick Mono Imano. We need this win for the show,
all right. We do need to win, so I like
it a lot. I think the Texans are new for
a loss. The Cultu are coming off a tough loss
to Kansas City. They're back at home where they're undefeated,
by the way, Jackson, this year Indianapolis is and I'm
with you. I think the Colts bounce back. So I
(23:35):
like it. Factor fiction to four, nine, four to five
to one right now. I thought the Texas would win
this division. At the beginning of the season.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
They started zero to three, and since them have been
the team that I thought would win the division. They
are six and two in their last eight games. I'd
like to find an AFC team with a better record
over the last eight games than the six and two
Colts or the six and two Texans, which, by the way,
are not going to be starting David Mills as CJ.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Stroud full practice today. The Houston text protocols nothing, Jackson.
Come on, how can I be look at an injury report? Jackson?
So how dun can I be look at an injury report? Jackson?
I would be willing to uh. I still like it anyway,
little wager with you, guys, Dick. I'm sorry, Dick. Look
(24:20):
at hit the drop.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Softy, hang on a second, hang on a second?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Three, two and one? How dumb can I be look
at an injury report? Jackson?
Speaker 6 (24:27):
He's still in concussion protocol.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
He's still practiced, he practiced. Can you can practice in
concussion protocol?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You know what I gotta drop for you?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
You don't players players practicing protocol all.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
The time, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Davis Mills doesn't realize what we sound like right now
in the Davis Mills is not a bad down like
three ten year olds.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The turd just screaming at his like forty.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
The internet report that came out. All right, so it's
too late. Now we're taking the cults.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I still like the pick. It's still gonna be. I
like it at CJ. Stroud or warn Moon. I don't
give a damn who it is. Colts Min is a
four to four and a half four minus four text
in fact. If you agree fiction, if you disagree to
four nine four five to one, all brought to you
by our friends at the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
where every day feels lucky, we'll get a break, a
(25:19):
little fun with audio and then no. Lee Sterling, Lee Sterling, sorry, geez,
I should have you know what I should have done,
so I should have read the show show how.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Dumb can I be? Look at an injury report?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Jackson.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Lee Sterling joins next on ninety three three KJARFM.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
It's time for our weekly visit with gambling expert Lee Sterling.
No Paramount Sports. Brought to you by bail Breaker Brewing,
wherevery hop is grown in the Yakama Valley. Family owned,
bold and proudly Pacific Northwest grabbed their flagship top cutter
ipa a citrusy. Find Forward Classic at your local grocery
store or visit tap rooms in Seattle and yeah, come
(25:53):
on now with Lee Sterling. Here's SUFFI in dis I.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Had a good time recording Picking the Locks with Mark
and Lee for Friday morning. By the way, before the
Bears Eagles game. I've never wanted to walk into traffic
more after I was done recording a program than I
did this morning with the four of us. Well, I
thought it was interesting that they invite us to come
on their show and they just spend twenty minutes taking
(26:16):
swings out of us. Yeah, that was not nicely, very
unfair and unkind of you on this Thanksgiving Eve. You
should be proud of yourself for the way you treated us.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Man. You started it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I started it.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I just thought that you started it by waking up
of the morning and putting your pants on. That's how
you started it. Well, let's get to some games this week.
That'll run Friday before I believe the Bears an Eagles
game here on KJR, So check that out on Friday
when you're driving around town going nuts for Black Friday
thirty five, twenty nine and one. A little bit of
a dip last week at one and four, but that's okay.
(26:52):
Still six games over overall on the air and a good.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Time to bounce back.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Let's start with a big game Ohio State and Michigan
at Michigan Stadium. Right, buck guys are given nine and
a half against the Wolverines. We are, I think, as
Husky fans kind of rooting for Michigan because if the
Huskies beat Oregon and Michigan wins, that might be enough
to knock the Ducks out of the playoff. For crying
out loud, so who do you like in the Buckeye
Wolverine game?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Wouldn't that be sweet? And maybe what you have going
for you is whether gonna be snow Seventy five percent
is the forecast, and that could slow down those Ohio
State wide receivers. Michigan is going to be without their
top running back, justice, sayines, So that could be a
little bit of a problem here, But I think the
(27:38):
best play here. I think, ohis State is going to
find a way to win. But I just I think
you played the under play under forty four and a
half total points. I think we're gonna see something like
a twenty four sixteen, twenty four to thirteen game, got it?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Do you have a lean on the side, No.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'll put one toe in and take one one tow in.
No and say oh.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
No, no, no, you don't get asked for a lean
and say no, you're done at that point.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
The right he has no field.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
All all right, let's go Oregon at Washington. It's waivered
between seven and six and a half. We got it
at oreogod minus six and a half right now?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yeah, and uh, they got to play a clean game,
do the Huskies. And they're gonna need uh their skill guys,
you know, John Coleman, Denzel Boston, even though they may
not be totally one hundred percent to show out. So
it's time to step up. The crowd. It's got to
step up, and uh might come down also to the kickers.
(28:43):
So uh Shappington, Uh, you know he's been been hot
and cold. Uh both teams there. Kickers are making the
extra points but having some trouble on some key field goals.
So both field goal kickers mystery field goals here. I
think it's gonna be close for a while, but I
think the Ducks end up pulling away thirty eight twenty four.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
All right, yeah, so take the Ducks minus and points
and you're right. Grady Gross has been really inconsistent so
far this year.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
From our punter, well, did you watch.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
The Wisconsin game San Francisco minus four and a half
against the Browns?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I think that the Browns can keep it closed here?
This is a This is a tough, tough matchup for
them Browns all of a sudden. They always had good
pass rushers from the from the edge, but now all
of a sudden, coming up the middle here, they don't
need to blitz at all here. Sanders isn't great, but
you know you can at least run a little bit
(29:40):
and hit some guys down the field, which Dylan Gabriel
couldn't do here. Topt city here, Browns pull off the
small upset here twenty four, twenty three.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
To see that beggrestion about it something. I love this
next one. I don't know why either one of us
didn't pick it for factor fiction. We'll see if you
like our side, we'll reveal our side after you reveal yours.
Rams minus ten and a half at Carolina.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, Carolina, I don't know why they didn't run the
ball more last week. I mean I know that, you know,
when the Rams scored first, it put them in a
little bit I'm sorry, forty nine er scored first put
them a little bit of a bind. But you got
to stick with what you do best. And they get
to the one yard line throwing a play action pass
for a quarterback that's you know, as tall as softy
(30:24):
five to seven. I don't get it. And then on
top of that two point conversion, you're also doing a
play action from the one throwing the football. But I
think the Panthers here, they're built to hang around here
with the Rams. We're going to escape here twenty seven
to twenty four.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
All right, we're all in agreement. We like Carolina.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
We're all going down together, or we're going to be
in the winners table together. Man, it's three for three Carolina,
all right, Seahawks given ten and a half against Minnesota.
Report out from Diana Rassini that ja J. McCarthy is
expected to miss the game on Sunday. That means Max Brosmer,
the rookie, is going to probably start for the Vikings.
Hawks or six and eight though lee under Mike McDonald
(31:03):
at Loomin Field, Seahawks are given a big number against
the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
What do you think? Last time, I believe there was
a first time signal caller making his debut under center
was Skyler Thompson, and I was high on him. I'm like,
this guy has it, you know what. Preparing for something
like this with a even better defense than the Seahawks
(31:28):
had a couple of years ago, spells trouble. I know
that the Vikings defense still have some good players on it,
but once they fall behind, they're in trouble. Here. The
biggest blowout of the weekend, Seahawks finally get a big
one at home. Won't even be close. Seahawks forty one
to ten.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Wow, all right?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
An m in Texas Game of the Week Sark versus Elco,
Aggie's versus Horns.

We're gonna break. Petros Papadakis, we'll join us next coming

up courtesy has Sweet James right here on ninety three

Where we go. Send us your best ticks to four nine,
four or five one. I'll be honest with me.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I like to watch TV with my hand down my pants.
That's what I do. My dad did it.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I do it.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I probably stole it from him. I cannot watch TV
and sticking my hand down my pants.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
I pull out hairs from my beard all day every day.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Just single hair, really, And what do you do with them?
Just throw them so like rise it might like see
them on the couch. We vacuum once a week so
it's it doesn't pile up. Yeah, just like just a
hair Like for me, it's just a stress thing. And
I'll just I'll just yank out of hair and I'll
just just drop on the floor of the couch or
whatever chair you're sitting in. I just you, guys know,
(00:39):
I have an insane amount of hair.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You're very hairy.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Your very hair is there like some kind of like
a disease or whatever. It's not like a hairy disease
or something.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I don't know, but like this thing, like I have
a lot of This is things like five weeks. This
is five weeks where the hair on my face and
and it just I try to maintain.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
That is insane. I couldn't grow that a year. That
is five weeks. Yeah, it's it's stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I hate hyper trichosis, excessive hair growth anywhere on the body.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Must have that hair hary. What does your back look like?
It's very, very hairy. I'm really hairy. So need that drop?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I need that.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
So we've learned today that we've learned today that Jackson
is teen wolf. Yeah, apparently I do the I do
the like the knee, the foot up and down, and.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It only bothers Softy at the Emerald Queen because we
sit on the same side of the table. Yeah, and
there's a tablecloth, so the tablecloth jitters.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's she's yells at me. But I do it every day.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm gonna come over here, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm sit right next to Dick.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Imagine he's him, and I'm like, I'm doing this.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I don't hit the table with the whole I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
He's at the table with it like it's like he's
got to take a massive leak and he's about a
half an hour away from getting to go to the bathroom,
just shaking his calories.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Do I burn every day? Just unknown. I wonder the
same thing. Probably burn a hundred calies do that. Here's
what you could have. You could have hypertrichosis. You could
have hair suitism. What's that excessive hair growth in women?
You don't have that?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You could have cant syndrome, a rare genetic condition with hypertrichosis,
distinctive facial features and heart defects.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So you might want to check on that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Ambros syndrome, a congenital form of hypertrichosis that may worsen
with age. You make it hairrier, is what they're saying here. Hypertrichosis.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Q beat. Do you have that?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Excessive hair on the extensor surfaces of the elbows, sometimes
associated with other symptoms.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Wow, that is a lot of dude. That is unbelievable.
That's five weeks. Are we playing Oregon?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
On Sunday? I don't care. That's my riata. What do
you want from me? Big weekend?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Can you bet player props in this game on Sunday
for the Seahawks? Like over under yards for Jackson Smith
and Jigma, whatever the number is. Why would you not
just take the over? I mean, the Vikings secondary's been
terrible all year long. Nobody can stop Jackson Smith and Jigba.
They keep trying. Tory Horton's on the IR. We know
he's not going to play. They got no choice but
to keep going back to Jaysen. Rashid Shaheed hasn't done
(03:25):
a lot so far since he showed up here, but
we'll get him a little bit of a break and
see if he can kind of work himself into the offense.
I was looking at some numbers on Jackson Smith and Jigba.
You know what I think we should be doing. By
the way, we should be talking about JSN breaking Calvin
Johnson director, but doing it in sixteen games. Calvin Johnson
in twenty twelve had nineteen hundred and sixty four yards
on two hundred and four targets, but that came in
(03:48):
sixteen games. Jackson Smith and Jigba over seventeen is projected
to get to twenty twenty nine, but only one hundred
and sixty five targets. So literally he would have sixty
more yards receiving than Calvin Johnson on forty less targets
than what Calvin Johnson had in twenty twelve. So here's
(04:11):
here's the number. If we want him to break it
in sixteen games. He needs stavage one hundred and thirty
one yards a game. The rest of the way one
hundred and thirty one okay, the rest of the way.
There's no way he's doing that, or one hundred and
nine in the final six games of the year that
he can do to get it in seventeen ats that
he can do.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I just I kind of see this game though on Sunday.
I buy a little bit into the Brian Floores nose.
Sam Darnold like the back of his hand. He practiced
against him all year last year with his defense, So
I don't they are I just don't think Sam has
a huge game. I think the Seahawks win comfortably, but
(04:47):
I don't necessarily think it's because the passing game goes on.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, I mean, look, I was on with Paul Allen today.
We were talking about that. Let me know when Florio's on.
By the way, you forgot, didn't you, yep? Talking about
how hair you are. We I have to call Mike
hair in his brain.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
He might have hair in his.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Ears cupping factor fiction to be fair.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But they they obviously look at this game and they
feel a lot of pain. I mean, Sam Darnold playing
against Minnesota, with what he's doing, with what's happening with
the quarterback situation down there in Minneapolis. I mean, they're
gonna be on their third guy now with Brozmur. It's
a freaking mess. And we'll talk about that later on.
But I'm just having a hard time the more the
days go by, I'm struggling to figure out what the
(05:26):
hell the Vikings were thinking.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
To be honest with you, all right, let's get to it.
Mike Florio joining us right now.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
It's time for a weekly conversation with Pro Football Talks
Mike Florio, brought to you by Simply Seattle. Tired of
buying and repping the same old Seattle sports gear everyone
else has. For the best Storm, Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Rainiers, Sounders,
and not to mention, the largest Sonics collection in the world,
check out simply Seattle dot com. Now with Mike Florio,
(05:52):
here's Softy and Dick.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
All right, here we go on a busy Wednesday afternoon
right here on ninety three to three KJRFM. Let's make
this quick as our next guest is busy getting prepping
for a West Virginia Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Here he is from the NFL and NBC Pro Football
Talk dot Com, our friend Michael Florio joining us on
the radio program What's Up, Butthole?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
How are you man?
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I'm doing fine.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
And before we all put our hands inside of the
turkey's butthole, let me just be clear there is no
difference between the West Virginia Thanksgiving and the non West
Virginia Thanksgiving. There will be no squirrel wow, there will.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Be no varmints.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
We will eat the usual food and use the indoor plumbing, okay,
and have our shoes on and gather around and watch
three good football games with my.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Main goal not passing out during the Cowboy game. Every
year I say I'm not going to pass out during
the Cowboy game, and every year I fail.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Do you at least use the you bring the good
whiskey out though for Thanksgiving, I only drink good whiskey.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I mean, okay, so you know.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
I'm not drinking rot gut. Look at the other days
of the year. It's one of the perks having a
good job.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Let's move on from all the roadkill talk and let's
get to some actual football. Let's start with what's going
to happen this Sunday between Sam Darnold and Minnesota. Can
we now look back and say the Vikings made a
mistake not bringing back either one of Sam Darnold or
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Well, that's the easy answer. I think the bigger picture
and I wrote about this today and I've been talking
about it this week on PFT, and I wish that
I had thought of it back in March. The one
thing that I had heard back in March, as Donald
was approaching free agency, Daniel Jones is approaching free agency.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
There's noise that Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
Wants to come play for the Vikings, and the Vikings
say no, no, no.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
We have to see what we have in JJ McCarthy.
And I understand that.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
But I was also getting the vibe from people who
were dealing with the Vikings at the time, and nobody
really knew who was making the decision. And my biggest
criticism Vikings now, look, JJ McCarthy doesn't look the part.
The numbers support it. I've watched fifty years of football.
You can just tell when a quarterback has it and
when a quarterback doesn't. And his biggest problem is I
think he's trying too hard, and he's thinking too much
(08:13):
because he feels compelled.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
To justify the decision the Vikings made.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
I think the Vikings aired in not looking at all
of the circumstances as they existed after the twenty twenty
four season and recognizing what it would mean to McCarthy
to say, we could have had the guy who won
fourteen and three last year. We could have kept Daniel Jones, who, frankly,
and there was noise to this effect during the postseason.
(08:40):
They were thinking about putting Jones on the field instead
of Donald during the postseason, especially after that Week eighteen
debacle in Detroit where they could have had the one
seed but all of a sudden, Zam Darnold was throwing,
you know, volleyballs into the front row, and then they
say no to Rogers. I just think they failed to
understand the pressure they were putting on JJ McCarty. And
(09:01):
I think that that and also, if someone pointed out
to me today after I wrote about the failure to
understand how much pressure they were putting on McCarthy's, there
was a complete failure to reduce expectations.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
The idea was, hey, we've got this super Bowl ready team.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
And all we got to do is plug in one
of these young quarterbacks, and you know he plays like
Jaydon Daniels or Caleb Williams to a certain extent, bow knicks.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
We're fine. Everything will be fine.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
And I think you put it all together, and I
just wonder within the Viking's organization, who is the person
who is responsible for coming up with short and long
term strategies because that person failed, and maybe there's no one,
and maybe the decision shows that there's no one who's
kind of guiding the ship and saying, hey, wait a minute,
we're creating a huge problem here by putting way too
(09:45):
much pressure, too high of expectations on this kid who
missed all of his rookie season. And that's part of
the pressure he's feeling too. He didn't play it all
last year. He's got to prove them right, he's got
to prove that he's good.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
He's got to carry this burden.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
And so, in hindsight, considering all of that, they should
have come up with a different plan. And if JJ
McCarthy didn't like it, so what he's going to contract
for three more years?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
You explain it to him and say, look, this is
how it can go.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
If we let all these guys go and we give
you the ball, and it can end up being bad
for everyone including you.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
So is JJ just going to be handed the job
next year or is there a situation where maybe they
know they sign a mac Jones and bring him in
as competition or potentially be the starter.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
There, but they wouldn't be able to sign him.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
That's the trade trade for him.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Yeah, that was one of the wise things the forty
nine ers did. They learned with Sam Darnold. Don't sign
these guys to one year contracts. Signed of the two
year contract so you can control their rights after that
first season if there's a.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Market out there.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
There's been some stuff perpolating in the circles that I
traffic in regarding mac Jones to the Vikings possibly next year,
and there aren't a ton of options next year. There
aren't a bunch of free agents that teams will be
competing to try to get.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
It's going to be one of these guys I think.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Under contract who is a backup but has some value,
you know, even a Davis Mills who has played surprisingly
well for the Texans in recent weeks. But I think
the Vikings need to explore all options, and they need
to at a minimum bring in somebody who will push
JJ McCarthy as a legitimate competition.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
That's some fake phony beloney.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
You know what people thought that Daniel Jones thing was
with Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
No, that was a real competition.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
And the Coats were willing to admit their mistake, because
the worst thing you can do in the surest sign
of dysfunctional organization when you make a mistake, do you
admit it or do you double down? And if the
Vikings double down next year, then I'm already thinking they
are the highest functioning dysfunctional team in the.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
NFL right now.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
If they double down on McCarthy, they are flat out
big d dysfunctional.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, speaking of dysfunctional, how about our guy Pete Carroll
in Vegas with the Raiders. Do you know Smith flipping
off the Raider fans walking off the field.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
They're terrible, They're going nowhere?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Are we starting to believe, Mike that there is a
sliver of a chance that Pete Carroll might be one
and done in Vegas?
Speaker 7 (12:03):
And first of all, Gino's my guy. He was great
at West Virginia.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
The video I've seen It's not clear that it was
a Raiders fan or a Browns fan, and I'm not
condoning it. He's gonna get fined for it. It was
funny how he kind of low key tried to do it,
but it may have been a Browns fan that was
out of line. We saw what he did when he
came back to Seattle and they were riding him in
the preseason.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
He gave a full.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Blown, no hesitation, double barrel middle fingers then. But with Pete,
this chip Kelly thing, I thought that they couldn't coexist
into next year. The fact that Pete fired Chip Kelly
with games left in a lost season. This isn't the
Ravens in twenty twelve when Cam Cameron got fired and
they made Jim Caldwell the offensive coordinator and that led
a few that led all the way to a Super
(12:43):
Bowl win.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
I don't know if you guys remember that that.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Was thirteen years ago. That turned around the offense for
the Ravens that year and delivered the only Super Bowl
leavee once since the year two thousand. I think this
is just, Hey, somebody had to go. This thing's not working.
Chip Kelly's not running the offense. The way that Carroll
wants it, and I suspect the decision was made after
last Monday night, when they had like three or four
rushing attempts in the first half threw the ball way
(13:08):
too much, even though Pete Carroll had made it clear
they want to run the ball. But you can't fire
Chip Kelly on Tuesday. With the game on Sunday and
the fact that it happened so quickly after the game
on Sunday, it just tells me that was when the
last straw hit the camel's back. And I just wonder
what happens with Pete Carroll after this season. If I'm Pete,
I may think I've had enough. I got this Tom
(13:29):
Brady guy blowing up my phone trying to tell me
how to do my job. Life's too short to deal
with him. And I don't know that that's true, but
I suspect that Tom Brady, who is basically the owner's
right hand man and the primary voice that influences Mark Davis.
I suspect Brady is trying to exert himself, and if
he's not there with his sleeves rolled up working, I
think it quickly creates resentment among the people who are working.
(13:52):
It wouldn't surprise me if just all things considered, Pete says,
I'm out of here, And it wouldn't surprise me if
Tom Brady whispers and Mark Davis you got a fire,
Pete caerl.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Wow, Mike, there are eleven teams right now that are
shorter than fifteen to one odds to win the Super
Bowl and we're at Thanksgiving. I can't remember the last
time that has happened. Is this Is this a shift
in the NFL that we're going to see for a while,
or is this just kind of a one year aberration?
Speaker 7 (14:18):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
We thought it was going to be Chiefs and Eagles'
best two teams ruling the roost.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
Again, and it still could be them.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
It would be the most unlikely circuitous route for those
two teams to get there, especially the Chiefs, who have
a lot of work to do to even make the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
But it does feel wide open.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
And when I say that, people say, well, wait a minute,
the Rams are clearly the best team right now.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
But you know what the rams worst nightmare.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
I think is having both the Seahawks and the forty
nine ers in the playoffs and having one or both
of those teams roll into Sofi Stadium in the postseason.
We've seen that dynamic before. And when you have a
team who has the one seed and another team from
their division makes it in Paul Man, they love nothing
more than to end your magical run. And they're not
(15:04):
intimidated by you. They know the locker room, they know
the field. They are not going to be wide eyed
all we're supposed to lose.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
They are going to relish the opportunity to beat you.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
And I think above all else, the forty nine Ers
if they get a shot at the Rams. First of all,
they ought to beat them in so far. And secondly,
you think they want the Rams playing in the Super
Bowl at their stadium. Hell no, So I think the
Rams would be my pick right now to win it.
But I also think Seahawks at Rams or forty nine
Ers at Rams could be deadly to the Rams chances
(15:34):
of getting there.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well, that Thursday night game is going to be huge.
You've been to Levi Stadium. I know you ever been
in the men's room in the press box. By the way, Levice, I've.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Never been in the press box. Wait, I wasn't in
the press box that I haven't been in to the
men's room. I didn't stay for Super Bowl fifty because
we were launching PFT live on NBCSM the next morning,
so I came home.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
That's the only Super Bowl other than the COVID one
that I haven't done to. But but I did go
up to the press box.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
And hang out with our guy Paul Allen. During the
playoff game, when the Vikings were kind of giving the
forty nine Ers a run for their money, Jimmy Garoppolo
kept throwing passes to Eric Kendricks. He caught one, dropped
two others, and.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Then the forty nine Ers. That was when they decided,
you know what.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Let's just not throw the ball. Let's just hand off
and hand off and hand off. And they carried that
mentality all the way to the Super Bowl that year.
I didn't make it to the breast room to finally
answer your question.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah no, there's a sign above the urinal in the
men's room that says, don't drink the water.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I swear to God in San Francisco at Levi Stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So just in case you were thinking about sticking your
head in the urinal with the press box, men's room.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Don't do it.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I appreciate that guid and it really comes in handy
and may it saved me from a significant calamity.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Thank you, Mike, you're the man. Thank Giving.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
I'll just drink the urinal water at Heinz Field.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
There you go, much better, much cleaner, as a matter
of fact, comes right out straight from the river.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Great stuff to you and your family.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Happy Thanksgiving, enjoyed tomorrow and we'll talk in a week.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Man.
Speaker 8 (16:58):

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Blood Works NW dot org slash music. So I'm breaking
news from baseball. John Hayman the first to report that
Dylan Cease, free agent pitcher from the Padres, is getting
seven years, two hundred and ten million dollars thirty million
dollars a year from the Toronto Blue Jays. I was
just looking up. He's actually older than Tarek's Scooball. He
(18:17):
turns thirty in December and Schooble just turned twenty nine,
like a week ago. So Scoobal is going to pitch
the entire year at twenty nine. So if Dylan Cease
is getting thirty million dollars a year for the next
seven years, what is Trek Scuball going to command for
Gott's sakes, he might it.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Might be fifty million a year. I mean, I just don't.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I don't see a lot of similarities between Trerek scuobl
and Don't Cease, to be perfectly honest with you, which
has got news for Trek scuball. Yeah, I mean Cease
was eight and twelve with a four or five five era.
I just counted ten starts this year where he didn't
get out of the fifth.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, ten times he didn't get out of the fifth.
And he's getting thirty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
We had twenty four starts for he'll three runs are less.
Last year and two years ago he finished top four
in the Cy Young voting. He also started one hundred
and sixty two games in five years. He's a fricking workhorse,
this guy man, and he's got a beard that's harrier
than Jackson's. By the way, Look, I don't know, man,
I just think there's a lot of teams that are
throwing around funny money. I don't think the Mariners are
(19:20):
ever going to be a part of that as long
as John Stanton and Chris Larson are the majority owners
of this baseball team. But it does make you think,
I mean, look up for example, how far away are
Logan Gilbert and George Kirby from being free agents? These
two guys, I know they got arbitration coming up. Obviously,
Gilbert is going to be a free agent in twenty eight,
(19:45):
so he's got three more years left to go. So
if guys are making thirty million dollars right now with
a four and a half ERA, and that's just coming
off last year, I understand it. There's a lot more
context there for Dylan cease than just last season. But
we're talking two three more years with this pitching staff
before you got to start really ponying up.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
To keep these guys right twenty nine for Kirby.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, I mean, they might be making fifty million just
because it's twenty nine. Honestly, in four or five years
from now, I think, what do those contracts look like
with those two guys? Don't you sign them both in
the next.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Couple of years? No, you sign him now? Yeah, next
couple of years. You do it.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Now, you do the same thing with them that you
did with Callan Hooley. You're set, that's right, and you're
paying him twenty million.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Why do you think we asked Logan Gilbert last time
he was on with us, if the EM's have approached
him yet about a contract, and he said.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
We should go back and listen to that the last
time he was on the air with us, because I
think he told us that was something he was going
to want to talk about over the offseason. I would
absolutely start to think about locking these guys up. I
know it's a little bit different sometimes with pitchers and
hitters because you worry about the arm trouble and all
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
They're not thirty.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You've got so many guys, man, so many guys that
are going to be free agents down the road. Bryce Miller,
Brian Wu, Logan, Gilbert George Kirby. I don't know if
you have to do it right now, for example this season,
because you got a couple of years left with those
guys before they hit free agency. But man, if those
guys keep doing what they're doing, the longer you wait,
the more it's gonna cost you on the back end
(21:11):
of a contract. There's no question, let's get the factor
fiction right now.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What's that to go?
Speaker 10 (21:15):
Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's
Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
where every day feels lucky. Fact Door Fiction is on
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It helps my turn my mic on. By the way,
we are back.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Factor Fiction brought to by our friends at the Lucky
Eagle Casino where every day feels lucky. Wednesday before Thanksgiving,
it's Jackson's Day, and Jackson, I want you to just
go with your gut here. Don't make a pick that
we influenced you with. Don't let me, Dick or anybody
else get in your head. You're a smart kid, although
you do have some weird hairy disease, whatever it is,
(22:01):
just go ahead and make your selection, because I want
you to know that I believe in you.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I want to pick a good football team, just a
very good football team.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Why, of course, Georg I don't believe in all Right,
you're done. You have any more clips to say?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Forever?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No? No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
The the Colts are good and pissed boys. Yes they
have not they have not had a home game in
Indianapolis in a month. Yes, they are finally coming home. Meanwhile,
the Texans are coming off of an upset win over
the Bill, so they're fat and happy. They actually have
three straight wins. Davis Mills is a turd. He's due
for a loss. The line is only four. I think
(22:43):
the Colts win this game by at least ten. Jonathan
Taylor is gonna run all over that defense that James
Cook just trashed. I think the Indianapolis Colts getting giving
four is a weird line.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So give me Indy minus four at home. Finally, all right,
so I will give you a little previews.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So Dick and I this morning taped a pick in
the Locks with Mark, James and Rest for Friday, and
they asked us to give five games a piece. Well,
Dick went with the Texans plus the points, to which
I followed up with the Colts minus the points with you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
How about that? By the way, it's.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Two on one, right, two on one you and me
against Dick Mono Imano. We need this win for the show,
all right. We do need to win, so I like
it a lot. I think the Texans are new for
a loss. The Cultu are coming off a tough loss
to Kansas City. They're back at home where they're undefeated,
by the way, Jackson, this year Indianapolis is and I'm
with you. I think the Colts bounce back. So I
(23:35):
like it. Factor fiction to four, nine, four to five
to one right now. I thought the Texas would win
this division. At the beginning of the season.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
They started zero to three, and since them have been
the team that I thought would win the division. They
are six and two in their last eight games. I'd
like to find an AFC team with a better record
over the last eight games than the six and two
Colts or the six and two Texans, which, by the way,
are not going to be starting David Mills as CJ.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Stroud full practice today. The Houston text protocols nothing, Jackson.
Come on, how can I be look at an injury report? Jackson?
So how dun can I be look at an injury report? Jackson?
I would be willing to uh. I still like it anyway,
little wager with you, guys, Dick. I'm sorry, Dick. Look
(24:20):
at hit the drop.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Softy, hang on a second, hang on a second?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Three, two and one? How dumb can I be look
at an injury report? Jackson?
Speaker 6 (24:27):
He's still in concussion protocol.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
He's still practiced, he practiced. Can you can practice in
concussion protocol?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You know what I gotta drop for you?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
You don't players players practicing protocol all.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
The time, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Davis Mills doesn't realize what we sound like right now
in the Davis Mills is not a bad down like
three ten year olds.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The turd just screaming at his like forty.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
The internet report that came out. All right, so it's
too late. Now we're taking the cults.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I still like the pick. It's still gonna be. I
like it at CJ. Stroud or warn Moon. I don't
give a damn who it is. Colts Min is a
four to four and a half four minus four text
in fact. If you agree fiction, if you disagree to
four nine four five to one, all brought to you
by our friends at the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
where every day feels lucky, we'll get a break, a
(25:19):
little fun with audio and then no. Lee Sterling, Lee Sterling, sorry, geez,
I should have you know what I should have done,
so I should have read the show show how.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Dumb can I be? Look at an injury report?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Jackson.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Lee Sterling joins next on ninety three three KJARFM.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
It's time for our weekly visit with gambling expert Lee Sterling.
No Paramount Sports. Brought to you by bail Breaker Brewing,
wherevery hop is grown in the Yakama Valley. Family owned,
bold and proudly Pacific Northwest grabbed their flagship top cutter
ipa a citrusy. Find Forward Classic at your local grocery
store or visit tap rooms in Seattle and yeah, come
(25:53):
on now with Lee Sterling. Here's SUFFI in dis I.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Had a good time recording Picking the Locks with Mark
and Lee for Friday morning. By the way, before the
Bears Eagles game. I've never wanted to walk into traffic
more after I was done recording a program than I
did this morning with the four of us. Well, I
thought it was interesting that they invite us to come
on their show and they just spend twenty minutes taking
(26:16):
swings out of us. Yeah, that was not nicely, very
unfair and unkind of you on this Thanksgiving Eve. You
should be proud of yourself for the way you treated us.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Man. You started it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I started it.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I just thought that you started it by waking up
of the morning and putting your pants on. That's how
you started it. Well, let's get to some games this week.
That'll run Friday before I believe the Bears an Eagles
game here on KJR, So check that out on Friday
when you're driving around town going nuts for Black Friday
thirty five, twenty nine and one. A little bit of
a dip last week at one and four, but that's okay.
(26:52):
Still six games over overall on the air and a good.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Time to bounce back.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Let's start with a big game Ohio State and Michigan
at Michigan Stadium. Right, buck guys are given nine and
a half against the Wolverines. We are, I think, as
Husky fans kind of rooting for Michigan because if the
Huskies beat Oregon and Michigan wins, that might be enough
to knock the Ducks out of the playoff. For crying
out loud, so who do you like in the Buckeye
Wolverine game?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Wouldn't that be sweet? And maybe what you have going
for you is whether gonna be snow Seventy five percent
is the forecast, and that could slow down those Ohio
State wide receivers. Michigan is going to be without their
top running back, justice, sayines, So that could be a
little bit of a problem here, But I think the
(27:38):
best play here. I think, ohis State is going to
find a way to win. But I just I think
you played the under play under forty four and a
half total points. I think we're gonna see something like
a twenty four sixteen, twenty four to thirteen game, got it?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Do you have a lean on the side, No.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'll put one toe in and take one one tow in.
No and say oh.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
No, no, no, you don't get asked for a lean
and say no, you're done at that point.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
The right he has no field.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
All all right, let's go Oregon at Washington. It's waivered
between seven and six and a half. We got it
at oreogod minus six and a half right now?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yeah, and uh, they got to play a clean game,
do the Huskies. And they're gonna need uh their skill guys,
you know, John Coleman, Denzel Boston, even though they may
not be totally one hundred percent to show out. So
it's time to step up. The crowd. It's got to
step up, and uh might come down also to the kickers.
(28:43):
So uh Shappington, Uh, you know he's been been hot
and cold. Uh both teams there. Kickers are making the
extra points but having some trouble on some key field goals.
So both field goal kickers mystery field goals here. I
think it's gonna be close for a while, but I
think the Ducks end up pulling away thirty eight twenty four.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
All right, yeah, so take the Ducks minus and points
and you're right. Grady Gross has been really inconsistent so
far this year.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
From our punter, well, did you watch.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
The Wisconsin game San Francisco minus four and a half
against the Browns?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I think that the Browns can keep it closed here?
This is a This is a tough, tough matchup for
them Browns all of a sudden. They always had good
pass rushers from the from the edge, but now all
of a sudden, coming up the middle here, they don't
need to blitz at all here. Sanders isn't great, but
you know you can at least run a little bit
(29:40):
and hit some guys down the field, which Dylan Gabriel
couldn't do here. Topt city here, Browns pull off the
small upset here twenty four, twenty three.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
To see that beggrestion about it something. I love this
next one. I don't know why either one of us
didn't pick it for factor fiction. We'll see if you
like our side, we'll reveal our side after you reveal yours.
Rams minus ten and a half at Carolina.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, Carolina, I don't know why they didn't run the
ball more last week. I mean I know that, you know,
when the Rams scored first, it put them in a
little bit I'm sorry, forty nine er scored first put
them a little bit of a bind. But you got
to stick with what you do best. And they get
to the one yard line throwing a play action pass
for a quarterback that's you know, as tall as softy
(30:24):
five to seven. I don't get it. And then on
top of that two point conversion, you're also doing a
play action from the one throwing the football. But I
think the Panthers here, they're built to hang around here
with the Rams. We're going to escape here twenty seven
to twenty four.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
All right, we're all in agreement. We like Carolina.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
We're all going down together, or we're going to be
in the winners table together. Man, it's three for three Carolina,
all right, Seahawks given ten and a half against Minnesota.
Report out from Diana Rassini that ja J. McCarthy is
expected to miss the game on Sunday. That means Max Brosmer,
the rookie, is going to probably start for the Vikings.
Hawks or six and eight though lee under Mike McDonald
(31:03):
at Loomin Field, Seahawks are given a big number against
the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
What do you think? Last time, I believe there was
a first time signal caller making his debut under center
was Skyler Thompson, and I was high on him. I'm like,
this guy has it, you know what. Preparing for something
like this with a even better defense than the Seahawks
(31:28):
had a couple of years ago, spells trouble. I know
that the Vikings defense still have some good players on it,
but once they fall behind, they're in trouble. Here. The
biggest blowout of the weekend, Seahawks finally get a big
one at home. Won't even be close. Seahawks forty one
to ten.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Wow, all right?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
An m in Texas Game of the Week Sark versus Elco,
Aggie's versus Horns.
Speaker 3 (31:54):

the line. You want to get the a Texas winner.

Have a great Thanksgiving and we'll talk in a week, Buddy,
appreciate it, Pal, all right, thank you? All right, Lee,
starting with us. He likes the under and the Buckeye
Michigan game. Likes the Ducks minus the points against the
Dogs Cleveland, plus the points against the Niners Carolina, and
the ten and a half against the Rams and the Hawks.
Given the ten and a half against Minnesota and winning big,
We're gonna break. Petros Papadakis, we'll join us next coming
