Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, what a weekend, man, what a weekend it was, dude.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Husky's into the top twenty five for the first time
since they lost to Michigan at the end of the
twenty twenty three season. Blue Jays choke away a four
to three lead in the ninth inning and lose the
World Series to the Dodgers. At home, you wake up
and gain an extra hour of sleep, and the Hawks
beat the piss out of the Commanders on Sunday Night football.
(00:25):
It Oh, by the way, if you're still into this stuff,
the Cougar's lost to the Beavers, by the way too
over the weekend, So I don't know, dude, it was
a pretty amazing weekend for a lot of us over here,
And obviously any other situation, we probably would start with
the World Series, right, unbelievable Game seven, amazing finish one
for the Ages. We'll talk to Jim Bowden about that
later in a week. We'll talk to Larry Stone about
(00:47):
that later in the week. But it is not a
coincidence that we are sitting here today across the street
from Loomingfield, the home of your Seattle Seahawks, talking about
a team that went on the road and you and
I said all week, hey man, just go on the
road and just get a win.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Just come home with a win.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Right, you would have been happy winning this one twenty
seven to twenty, you know, twenty to sixteen, Just get
out of.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
There with a win.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
But you go on the road and you absolutely drop
a hammer on the Washington Commanders in essence basically ending
their season now courtesy of Drake Thomas in that tackle
on Jayde Daniels. And we'll talk about dan Quinn's responsibility.
He's already admitted he blew it, by the way by
leaving Jane Daniels in the game. But I just think
there's no reason why Seahawks fans, guys right now should
(01:32):
not be talking about making a run and doing something
great this year. You know, I heard somebody say the
other day, maybe this is like the twenty twelve Seahawks.
You know what I say, bull crap. Maybe it's like
the twenty thirteen Seahawks and they can actually make a
run because this thing's wide open.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Guys, who do you really fear? Honestly, who do you
really fear? In the NFC?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
There's good teams that you respect, no question, we all
respect Green Bay We all respect Philadelphia. You have to
is the defending cheer. We all respect the Lions, the Rams,
blah blah blah. But I don't fear anybody. I don't
fear anybody in the NFL, to be totally honest with you,
And I think they've got their best combination. They have
their best combination Dick, in my opinion right now of defense, quarterback,
(02:16):
offensive line, and head coach. Maybe since twenty thirteen at least,
maybe since twenty fourteen, but maybe even since they won
the whole damn thing in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That was really fricking impressive. What those guys did last night.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, if you look at point differential, they're right there
with two thousand and five and twenty thirteen. I mean,
the only two teams that have had a point differential
this good, this laid into the season are those two teams.
And they made the Super Bowl in both of them
and won the Super Bowl and one of them. I mean,
we're probably put the brakes on there on that a
little bit right now.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Because we are only one halfway through the season.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But it's funny.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You pointed at Lumenfield there, and I happened to look
across over my right shoulder. You know a picture I
don't see on that wall, Sam Darnald, Sam Darnold, Yeah,
are you can see.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Somewhere else by the way, Ie. They're photos on.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
The opposition there there is.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
But we always talk about these photos and who gets
replaced and who gets put on and everything. And it's
funny that you have got a quarterback that is unquestionably
top five in the NFL this season. Now you can
debate if he's a top five quarterback overall in the NFL,
but there is no questions that you have a top
five NFL quarterback in twenty twenty five right now, and
(03:23):
he is making an unbelievable amount of difference.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
And I was.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Really I was nervous at the spot last night, the
spot that the Seahawks were going into a commander's team
that absolutely had to win that game or their season
was going to be over. At three and six in
this NFC, you are done. And they had Jaden Daniels
coming back. They had the posse on the field before
the game, Art Monk and Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders.
(03:49):
They were pumping up the old school and I was like,
this is this is a danger game. And I can't
believe how little stress Seahawks fans had in that game.
I mean, we stressed for like five minutes and after
that there was zero stress for three and a half quarters.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We twenty one nothing. I agree with you, it was
over at twenty one nothing. It was really over at
twenty eight, right, but you know, twenty one nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It was done.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
And I just think it was again, You've got to
be a good team to go on the road and
do something like this.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
This is not a mirage.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And you mentioned kind of pumping the breaks on certain things,
and I mean, I guess, I mean, I don't want
to pump the brakes on anything like I mean, if
this was baseball and the All Star Game was in
the middle of the year, Sam Darnold would be up
for the starting pitcher in the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That's the way he's playing right now. I mean, he
is just.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
This is the second year in a row now, save
for those last couple of games, the game against what
Detroit in Week eighteen and then the playoff game where
he's been amazing. And I was going back and I
was comparing his eight starts with the Vikings a year
ago versus his eight starts right now with the Seahawks,
and his numbers are strikingly similar except for one number,
(04:58):
which we'll get two in a second. He threw the
two hundred and twenty three times after eight games a
year ago, two hundred and sixteen times this year, seventy
point four sixty nine point five just over two thousand,
nineteen hundred and sixteen touchdowns versus seven five interceptions versus
seven nine point six yards per pass versus eight point five.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The difference is the protection. And that's what boggles my mind, Like,
what are we doing? What bizarre world are we living in?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
We've got a Mariner ownership group that went out at
the deadline and did what we wanted them to do,
and then we have an offensive line in Seattle that's
actually good. Like these are not supposed to be happening,
especially together.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Maybe you get one, but not both. We're getting both.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And look at the difference the offensive line is making
for this football team. Why people were bitching and moaning
for so many years about fix the line. I don't
care about all the shiny parts.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I want you to fix the guts. Fix the guts
of the team, and they have the number one rushing
defense in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They have a pass rush that got after Jade and
Daniels more so than he ever has in his career.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
By the way, last night.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They made life a living hell for Jaden Daniels yesterday.
And you have an offensive line that's only allowed nine
sacks to their starting quarterback and the first eight games
of the year after he was sacked twenty five times
in the first eight games last year with Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
What the hell's going on in Seattle?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
We got an ownership group who listens to their fans
and went to Game seven because of it, and.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
An offensive line that all of a sudden might be
pretty good. Dick Fate, Well, I.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Mean the Mariners went out and got two guys. Aw,
so the Seahawks didn't. I mean the Seahawks got one guy.
And it was a great draft picks, making a huge
with the logical draft.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It was a good draft picks.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It was really the draft pick that any Seahawks fan
could have just said, well, duh, I mean, he's staring
you in the face, go get the guy. But you
got a credit John Schneider for doing that. Now he
still has a fix right guard.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, but it's not just Zabel though.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's the coaching, it's the coaching of the offensive line coach,
it's the coaching of Clint Kubiak. I thought Clint Kubiak
had a marvelous game last night for the Hawks. I
mean really just amazing mixing things up, and how he
continues to get Jackson Smith and Jigma the ball with
all these injuries they've had on their on their wide
receiving corps is unbelievable. I mean, it almost defies logic
(07:19):
that this guy can keep putting up these numbers. You like, Look,
I thought last night, Dick, before the game, honestly that, Okay,
if there's ever gonna be a game where a defensive
coach takes away Jackson Smith and Jigba, it's gonna be tonight.
Cooper cups out, Bobo's out, Horton's getting bumped up, blah
blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And he didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
He couldn't couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I mean, you're even you get third and seventeen and
they're still getting there, getting first towns. But that the
word that keeps coming to mind when I see Sam Donald,
and it was illustrated perfectly when they showed that. They
showed that replay remember of him going first progression, second progression,
third progression. Yes, the offensive line did an amazing job.
But you have a quarterback now that actually feels comfortable
(08:01):
sitting in the pocket and going through his progressions instead
of most of the other quarterbacks in the NFL where
you see one or two progressions and then they make
a bad throw or they try to escape the pocket
and use their legs to get He just stands there.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Just decisive.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Decisive is the word, probably the best word I can
come up with to describe the first half of this
season for Sam Dark.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, I just just think again, guys Jackson, sorry to
just give you a quick second that the offensive line
protecting him, and you mentioned that video you're talking about
where collins Worth was just talking about how you know
he's going through his progressions. There's so many little cutups
and clips all over social media of him just sitting
in the pocket and having all the time he needs
(08:47):
to throw the ball. And I think coaching is mattering
right now. It's absolutely mattering for this football team. I mean,
Charles Cross might be a better player. Abe Lucas might
be a better player. Jalen Sundell literally right under their
freaking noses. When they went out and got Connor Williams
and drafted big o'lu from Michigan, they had Jalen Sundal.
(09:07):
So that's another difference, by the way, is Sundell versus
what they had a year ago. But then you combine
the coaching, you combine the play calling, all this stuff.
It's it's been unbelievable. And I just think, guys, I
think Seahawk fans, I mean, look, you do whatever you
want to do. You want to pump the breaks, pump
the brakes. I'm not pumping anything. I think this is
a super Bowl caliber football team.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And part of it is because of the NFC. It's
the exact same reason why we were so fired up
for the Mariners, because the American League, sorry, was wide open.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It's the same thing in this league.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
If I saw dominant teams in the NFL, if I
saw dominant teams in the NFC, maybe it'd be like,
all right, you know, this is fun. But in the
end they're gonna be falling short. I mean, guys, they've
lost two games by a combined seven points. Go back
and look at all the other six and two teams.
I'm curious to know if anybody is that close to
being an eight to o besides the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So they've been in every game with a minute left
to go in every game they played, every single one,
they've had a chance to win, and they haven't even
started running.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The ball yet. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
They haven't even started running the ball with any real consistency.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And they haven't even started winning at home either. I mean,
all they.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Can do is win on the road. Guy's eleven and one.
He stinks at home, but he's eleven and one on
the road. That that eventually might change, As you said.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I think both weeks ago, right, I think the whole
record is gonna get much better, and the road record
probably will.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Who those do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But that's the thing is that they still can get better.
They Cooper Cup can do more, Kenny Walker can do more,
they can do more at home. Their secondary hasn't been
healthy the entire year. They haven't played a full freaking
game yet with their supposed starting secondary.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So Jackson, I love where this team is at.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Man, it does feel like a defense that isn't twenty thirteen. Like,
but boy, they're like the light version, the Walmart version
of the thirteen defense, because they're just savagery is a
good word for It just feels like that. And then like,
what thirteen didn't have is elite offensive web I mean
Marshawn obviously, but passing game wise, I mean Sam. We
(11:08):
had to, you know, come to grips with the fact
that boys, Sam Donald is elite. The difference in yards
per attempt right now, he's number one in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
We all know that at nine point six.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
But the difference between Sam Donald in first and Jordan
Love and fourth is the same difference between Jordan Love
and fourth. And then we go all the way to
Joe Flacco in twenty sixth place, Jackson Smith and Jigbu
yardage number one in the NFL at nine to forty eight.
The difference of JSN to the fourth receiver, George Pickens
(11:39):
is the same difference from fourth to thirty.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Eighth place in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
We have elite passing offensive weapons in Seattle for the
first time and god knows how long, and.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yet it's not even the best side of the ball.
That's the amazing thing. I mean that defense.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
When impressed me most about that defense when you see
somebody make a catch for the position and the cameras
kind of zoomed in on them right, and you don't
see any blue jerseys around the person. We they get
like two yards after the catch, even though no one
is close to it. We close on the ball so
(12:16):
well and gang tackle so well. You watch teams throughout
the NFL, there are some horrible tackling teams out there,
and so when you see a team like Seattle, the
only other team I've seen that's as good as Seattle
at that is Indianapolis. Indianapolis Rallies do the ball and
they bring you down. Those are the two best tackling
teams I've seen all season in the NFL. And that
(12:37):
may play out. Who knows, Maybe that's your Maybe that's
your Super Bowl. The two best tackling teams in the NFL.
Daniel Jones against Sam Darnel.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You know how they do the college football playoff simulator
thing where you can kind of spin the wheel and
get all these different possibilities. I wonder if you did
it for a Super Bowl matchup, how many different possibilities
would come out? A ton right Ton tons, tons of possibilities,
all kinds of different scenarios.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And this is what the NFL wants. The NFL wants parody.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
The NFL wants every fan base to think they have
a shot of playing in that game. It's the biggest
game sports has to offer, obviously, in the NFL wants
every fan base thinking they can do it. And I
just think again, for Sam Darnold, he is playing like
an MVP candidate. Probably not gonna win it Jackson, Smith
and Jig, but with a few more touchdowns, probably would
be a more serious contender.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He's what is he? Where's he at touchdowns? Right now?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He's way down the list. He's number one in the yards,
but tied for eighteenth and touchdowns and fifth and catches.
So but if he gets to two thousand yards, if
he breaks Calvin Johnson's record, He's gonna be on ballots.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
He will absolutely be on ballots. There is no doubt
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But I mean that's the thing about the defense is
I think the star of the show is still Mike
McDonald's scheme.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I mean I see really good players, I see Pro
Bowl type players, but I don't see Hall of famers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Oh and then you see backups coming in and play
like Drake Thomas and Tyle Kotta.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Like exactly, I mean, how does that even happen? That
Drake Thomas?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
How many people are watching that game last night seeing
Thomas on the back of this guy's jersey and saying,
who the hell's that?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Had no idea who he was?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And pff, Adam is one of their top five graded
guys from the game last night, with a cat of
number one. By the way, number one Riek Willam was
number two despite that meathead personal foul cally guy yesterday.
So sorry, guys, I just think this. I think that
this is not even close to scratch on the surface.
I mean, look, Darnold eventually, who knows he's gonna have
a step back, But can he remain steady the entire year?
(14:29):
You know, this idea that he's just a game manager,
I mean that's been just flushed down the toilet because
the guy's averaging over ten yards a throw, or he
was averaging over ten yards now he's at nine point six.
But this is not a guy that's thinking and dunkan.
This is not a guy who's being brought in here
to just say, hey, just manage the offense. You know,
don't do too much blah blah blah. You and I
had that debate over the offseason. He is moving the ball,
(14:51):
He's pushing the ball down the field, and the reason
why he's able to do it is because of the
fricking offensive line. That's why, guys, we gotta give the
offensive line. We have to have to, have to have
to have to come back to the offensive line. This
is what we've wanted. They're playing better. I don't even
care about the names. Just play better. Whether it's coaching,
whether it's Abel, whether it's Sundew, whether it's Sabe Lucas
(15:13):
and Charles Cross growing up. I don't give a damn.
They are playing way better than we've seen the last
four or five years. This is the best offensive line
we've had in a long time.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, and it still as a major hole. That's an
amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Like if you can plug that one major hole up,
I mean, you could be talking about a top five
offensive line in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I'm wondering what Hugh thinks about the way Bradford played
last night, because Collinsworth was he was all over in
a good way. He was talking about how he had
a great game last night, so we'll see if he
agrees with that.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
To your point, though, I I just went through the NFL.
We are nine games through the season right and there
are fourteen teams. Yeah, that I would not be stunned
if they were playing in the super Bowl right now.
I'd be surprised if some of them were. But I
wouldn't be stunned. Like teams like the Patriots, Sure, I'd
have him on my list.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Sure, teams like.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
The Broncos, I'd have him on my list. Fort to
seven in the A and seven in the NFC. That
I would not be stunned if they can make it
all the way to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
That is how wide opened this season.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And they're one of them. Hawks are one of them.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
A little if that means you could lose in the
first round or you could win the NFC. I mean,
everything's on the table. It's kind of like the baseball playoffs. Man,
everything's on the table for these guys this year. So
we'll see what they do, if anything. At the deadline
tomorrow I think is one o'clock our time. But Hawks
are rolling, man against Some of your thoughts on the
text line are you. Are you ready to believe that
this is a super Bowl caliber team that if there's
(16:32):
a group of teams that could play in that Super Bowl,
which I don't know if anybody had those thoughts over
the offseason, I'll be ready now to say that this
should be one of those teams. In that conversation or
do they have to show you a little more four nine,
four to five one will get to that factor. Fiction
brought to you by the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
That's coming next. Fun with AUTI You at three forty
(16:53):
five and a little more four with Hugh Millen live
from Jimmy's on ninety three to three KJRFM from.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
The R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now back
to Softie and Dick on your Home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R fainer on First.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Down thirteen thirteen and to the Races. It's White, Ah.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
The White, Cody White for the touchdown the first of
his NFL career. Uh, Mike toa Rico, NBC Sports last night.
I think Mike does a really really good job, by
the way, Not sure what you guys, think he's at
what he does.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'll tell you what, man, Let's see if you can,
uh can you can? You can you guess what Softie's thinking?
Which is a very dangerous game to play. I know
that no, I have what what can't even begin?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
What play? Do you think? Turned me on the most
last night watching that game Jackson.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
For me to play the Tommy on most was the kickoff.
Well we got a back in, so it's sort of
just like, Okay, it's gonna be one of these days.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
That's what popped into my mind. Dick, Okay, Brandon Peely,
you're both wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
That's a good one though. That got me got me
going a little bit. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
That one was the one, like Jackson said, that was
the one that was like, oh dude, this kid games done.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
The one where I just jumped off my couch and
just went, oh Nick emn Worr one handed Deebo Samuel,
are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
And he was me he was getting accosted.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That that is like, what was the guy for Mike somebody?
I think his name was Mike Cook. I'm not Mike Scott.
Whatever the dB for Illinois That demon Williams ran over.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
A week and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, Greg Lewis went on the postgame show and said
that guy should just turn his shorter pads in.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And just walk home.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Deebo, Samuel, what's that? What's that, Jeff for? Is a gift?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Jackson? Whatever? It's going?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Where the guys just got his head down and he's
just moping around. That's what Deebo should have done, because
Deepo's a big guy, right, Deebo should have just walked
off the field, walked into the locker room, taking his
stuff off, jumped into an uber and went home after
what the rookie did to him last night. I mean, dude,
(19:15):
if you're not totally turned on, I mean, Hugh Millan
said it perfectly this morning, and you're gonna not like
this Jackson at all. I gonna like this at all.
I'm gonna tell you what he said. Well you find
out in about five seconds.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
He said. If you didn't like that, play go watch soccer. Wow. Wow,
that's what he said. Well, that's what he said.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
He is.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Hugh just doesn't understand soccer, and that's okay. If he
ever wants a lesson in soccer, he can come to me.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I was walking DJ this morning and I heard that.
I just had to burst out laughing at the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Oh my god. Not that I agree with the Jackson.
I just thought.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
It was I know you don't.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, that is that is just that play last night, man,
everything that we've been hearing about talking about with nick
Em and Worry.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Are you kid me?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Man?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That is exactly the play why that's the epitome of
why people are fired up for him.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I just keep seeing nick Emon Worry, and I'm like, Oh,
this is the type of player that the Seahawks traded
two first round picks for and never got.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
That's right, Jamal Adams. Oh god, this is.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
The type of player that they expected and hoped to
get by sending two first round draft picks to the Jets.
And God bless him, he might be worth two first
round draft picks.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
He might be that good.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, Jamal Adams can't even hold that guy's underwear. I
mean it is unbelievable what he's been doing since he's
been healthy. And then then two plays later they had
the sack and it was Leonard Williams. I mean, Leonard
Williams is playing like an All Pro defensive lineman. He
didn't get credit for the sack, but he was the
one that blew it up and forced Jade Daniels up
in the pocket for that sack two days later. And
(20:57):
I just think that that may be Guys, the biggest
surprise for me this year is the way the Seahawk
defensive line is getting after it, because I mean, let's
be honest, they went out and they made some tweaks whatever,
but they didn't go through any wholesale changes to their
defensive line. I mean we were even kind of critical
of them. You gotta go out and get some pass rush,
(21:17):
and they didn't really go out and do it.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I like their death, I know their front line, guys.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Star of the show is the scheme. And I tweeted
this last night.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You see my tweet that I think if you're an
NFL defensive player, you should be begging to play for
Mike McDonald, especially if you're a guy whose contract is
coming close to being up, because your value is gonna sky.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Who can make you so much money if you come here,
especially if you're a young, hungry guy. And then I
think a great schemer is one that can take pieces
and make them better. Than they actually are. We mentioned
Drake Thomas, we mentioned Tyle Katta. They're nice players, but
I don't think Amy is confusing them with pro bowlers.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, look at what happened Byron Maxwell when he left
Pete Carroll. That's right. I think that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
These guys that play for Pete Carroll and they go
elsewhere and they just can't live up to the hype
because they're in the wrong sys.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
So they would make so much money.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Come here, speaking of speaking of making money, Deebo Samuel
is stealing money from Washington. You know, Deebo Samuel really
has two seasons in his entire NFL career and the
rest of his career he has either been injured or just.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Kind of what's he making this year? What's he making?
He signed?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Let me look, I think he might be let me
let me double check.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Ye stealing?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
No, But you're saying he's not even worth that. I'm saying,
not seventeen point five mil that's making he is.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
He's absolutely a nothing. Because so when you mentioned Deebo Sammon, yea,
it was unbelievable played by Nickamian Warrior. But remember what
Deebo used to be. He used to be the punisher,
and now he gets paid seventeen million dollars when he's
got nothing left.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Let's get the Factor Fiction right now.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Glad you're with us, it's.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the ten
thousand dollars grand prize. It's Fat Door Fiction probably presented
by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day feels lucky.
Fact Or Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
R f M. All right, big thanks for our friends
at the Lucky Eagle Casino on a hotel where every
day feels lucky. We went three and two, another winning week.
Nothing wrong with all. Just keep churning out winning weeks.
On the radio show on Factor Fiction, Jackson Felts, put
your hands together, big win, Jocko Jackson.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I want to know Jackson Purple Week.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Don't know what you're talking about, Jackson, No help at all.
That was all you, man, That was all us.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
We're not allowed to give help show.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
We didn't. We didn't give any help. I don't know
what the hell you're talking about. Shut up.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Three and two on the on the week for us,
so doing good. But tell you what, man, you guys
know who leads the NFL and QBR.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Any Idea Jackson who leads the NFL QBR.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I was going to guess Sam Darnold, but Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Dak Prescott leads the national thing, right he does. He
leads the National Health Ball League in QBR.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Lamar Jackson's right behind him, Sam Donald's right behind him,
and then Patrick Mahomes is right behind that. So Sam
Donald has a higher QBR and passer rating than Patrick
Mahomes does after eight games in the National Football League.
But Dak Prescott is quietly kind of putting together a
pretty good year, but nobody talks about it because the
Cowboys are three and four and they're all pissed off
of Jerry Jones because the team is going down the toilet.
(24:23):
So I don't know, I see a Cardinal football team. There's,
in the words of Scott Woodward, the haves and the
have nots in the NFC West. Cardinals are have not
right now. I don't even know if Kyler Murray is
even really healthy, to be honest with you. So we're
gonna take Dallas minus the three and a half tonight
at home on Monday Night Football on National TV. The Cowboys,
(24:46):
I believe, get it done tonight against Arizona and the
Seahawks for the second consecutive week. We'll see a team
on a short week coming off Monday Night football when
the Cardinals come to town on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
So let's hope for the Cowboys to win.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Let's hope for the Cowboys to beat up the Cardinals
a little bit before they come to town on Sunday,
and let's hope they cover the three and a half.
We're taking Dallas minus the points.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Different player at home than he is on the road.
Dak Prescott's career in Jerry Joe and Jerry World.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Forty five, eighteen and one crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
He is an elitely good quarterback in that building against
an Arizona team that I didn't get it from the beginning.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I don't know what you thought about Arizona the beginning
of the season.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I heard people talk like, oh, you know, Arizona's kind
of a sleeper in the NFC. What are you talking about.
Arizona does the same thing every single year. They fade
down the stretch, and this year they didn't even need
to fade down the stretch because they faded early. This season,
they're not a good football team.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I love that line.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, let's do it three and a half as the
pick Cowboys, given the points you like. In fact, you
hated fiction to four at nine four five one. We
would have had a four and one week last week
if not for the Cougars crapping themselves against Oregon State. Man,
that was a classic we don't think we can even
need to show up to win this game type performance
by the Coups. They look freaking terrible against Oregon State.
(26:02):
You see their fans rush the field, by the way,
after beating the Kokes.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Good for them. I mean they've been.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Crapped on, they've been pooped on, they've had their face
rubbed in the dirt.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Whatever. So let the kids have a little fun.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But hey, we're taking Dallas. You like it, fact, you
hate it? Fiction.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
All brought to you by the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
A little Fun with Audio next. As we continue from

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that? What's that? What's We'll start in baseball
Game seven? Too? Bad man?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Shame. Maybe you clowns shouldn't have run your mouth.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Maybe this is karma for all that's talked that came
out of your pilots. Definitely karma after Game seven, which
that's complete nonsense, but that's the crap they were saying.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It was karma for hitting Springer.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Let's start fun with audio today by hearing the joy
of victory in the agony of defeat. First Dodgers radio
voice Steven Nelson calling the World Series winning double play
on Saturday night for AM five seventy.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
In Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Broken Back ground Ball Bets has its steps on.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
The back the Dona Fars double play.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
From Becks against the wall to back to Beck the
Dodgers cement their dynasty.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Win Game seven and extrainings.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You know what I was actually surprised about. You really
couldn't tell on that clip right there. There was a
few Dodger fans in the stags were for Game six.
In Game seven, they were you could hear it was
audible on TV. Definitely on TV. You couldn't really hear
it there. That was kind of an odd call. I thought, there, Yeah,
just jointed.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, he's kind of okay whatever scripted. It felt yeah,
very very very bad. But that's okay.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
They won the World Series.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
But yeah, there was a ton of Dodger fans and
they kept showing them there at the end of the game.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
It was pretty cool watching.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I mean, I just love the back and forthween the
Dodger fans and then the Blue Jay fans with their
head in their hands. I don't think we've talked nearly
enough about how excited we were about that game.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
We have to do that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well, we've only been on the air for forty five minutes,
and we had a big Seahawk win yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
That's what it. Just just take it easy, we'll get
to it. I know you're excited. I'm very on the
other side of things. Let's keep it here.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Here was Dan Shulman with Sportsnet Canada calling mcguil Rojas's
game tying home run for the Dodgers with one out
and two strikes in the ninth inning and a ball
hit to t play shield and it's gone. Rohash has
(29:13):
hit it out and has tied the game. Here that
I'm didning and to see the cloud here is stunned
would be an understatement. Yeah see, I don't think that
was either a great call, to be honest with you,
I mean, what happened to the.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Are you kidding me? Really?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Dave Kneehouse, what did we just see? I thought Joe
Davis's call was the best of all of them.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
He's like, no.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Way, what the hell just happened? That was unbelievable the
call by Joe Davis. And by the way, you hear
what Miguel Rojas said after the game. He said hitting
a home run was not on my bingo card. He
didn't even think he would he could do something like that.
Guy hadn't had a hit in a month. For God's sakes,
he leaves him in the game, makes a great defensive
play at second base. It's the maybe one of the
(29:59):
biggest home runs and Dodger postseason history.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Good for him, man.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
His last home run was September nineteen. Praisey the home
run prior to that, Yeah, July night.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Two home runs in three and a half.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Honestly, it would have been like Dylan Moore if Dylan
Moore stepped up and popped a home run to tie
the game for the Mariners in the ninth and n
of Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Caleb Joseph is a former MLB catcher and current sports
net analyst in Canada for Blue Jays games. After Toronto
lost Game seven Saturday, Joseph opened up his postgame commentary
with this take.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
There were a lot of wet eyes, and I don't
doubt him, and I don't blame him for that, and
it's gonna sound like sour grapes and I don't really
give it, but I think the better team did not
win this series. I think the Blue Jays are the
better team, and I feel like they played baseball a
certain way that was infectious, that grabbed the attention of
the fans, and it's it's disheartening to see that the
(31:01):
better team did not win. And that's not to take
anything away from the Dodgers, but the Blue Jays, they
did so many things correct, they did so many things
right well.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, I think the better team won, to be
honest with you, from a talent perspective, but I think
when you get down to it Game seven in the
World Series, it's a flip of the coin fifty to
fifty proposition. And the difference in a lot of ways
is that the Dodgers had Yoshi Yamamoto and they didn't,
and they were throwing Shane Bieber out. There was coming
off Tommy john surgery, and let's face it, outside of
that home run he gave up to Rojas, he's actually
(31:32):
been pretty damn good.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So is Suersier.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Both of those guys. I mean, these are two really,
really good baseball teams. And here's some here's some analysis.
Somebody had to win. How about that for a take
and it happened to be a team with a guy
who the day before almost threw a hundred pitches and
Yamamoto and turned in one of the more legendary pitching
(31:54):
performances in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
It's the blade of a knife. We talk about it
all the time in that sport.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
The better team loses the World Series and the Super
Bowl all the time. I mean, yeah, I agree with you.
The Dodgers were the more talented team. I think they
were the better team overall. They weren't the better team
in that series. I think the Blue Jays were clearly
the better team in that series.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
And so the guy is right. But my answer here,
my responsive.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
The Seahawks were a better team than the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
But the Patriots got.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
It done at the very end, just like the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Got it done partially because Cliff Avl got hurt. And that's,
you know, stuffart of the game. Stuff happens. Man, be ready,
be better prepared. Have a bigger lead. If you're a
kinder Falafful, whatever the hell his name is, I on
third base, have a little bit of a bit of
a bigger lead on third base, and maybe a score
when Rojas is falling on his ass trying to make
that play at home play. So I think they're gonna
(32:52):
have a hard time getting over this.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's like I tweeted on Saturday night, man, welcome to
the club, because you'll never ever ever get And by
the way, did you see there there was a Seahawks
Super Bowl forty nine game reference during the game by
John Smoltz on Saturday. There was also another one by
Tariico and collins Worth last night during the Commander game.
(33:15):
It's never going away for us, just like this is
never going away for them.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Ever, I still think this is a more painful way
to lose than that was.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
For the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, I mean maybe, I don't know, dude, I mean,
four strikes away, it's all context, man.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Losing the last two games at home in the series.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, losing a lead in the ninth inning, I mean
I think, I don't know. I mean it was I
can't think of a more painful way to lose in
sports than what they have just done.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
I think everything's in context, right, Like the Hawks had
already won one the year before, the Blue Jays had
won last year, maybe it'd be less painful but they're.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Waiting thirty three years since their last title.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
If you're forty, If you're forty, you almost have no
memory of that whatsoever. This was the first time for
almost the entire city, or a big portion of it. Sorry,
when it comes to winning a championship and they blew
it too bad, too bad. Now you can taste it
the way we tasted it.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Joy. Hope it goes down smooth. Did you happen to
hear that? What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Our buddy Dave Portnoy this morning on Wake Up Barstool
on FS one made it clear he's not feeling bad
for Toronto after they choked the World Series away.
Speaker 11 (34:29):
I saw a Conor McDavid clip and he's talking about
how the Oilers are playing in there showing the Blue
Jays game. During the Oilers game, he was actually upset.
He's like, it's weird. I was distracted they took it off.
But he also said, we lose, that's all we do.
We lose in horrific fashion. Nobody knows it more than me.
And this is a city and a team that has
(34:50):
now really made a habit out of being just emasculated
on the biggest stage at the biggest moment possible, and
I loved it. I don't like anybody winning except my teams.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You know what I think the Mariners should do, and
they'll never do it. They'll never ever ever do it.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yes, they'll never run. They'll never do it. They never will.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
We go to Oregon, they play the Kenny Wheaton thing,
and I realize it's different because it's a game that
involves the Huskies whatever. But if I were the Mariners,
I would the next next fourth of July when they
come to town, I'd say, let's take a moment before
this series begins and go over some of the highlights
from last year's World Series, and Miguel Rojas will smith
Yamamoto the whole thing because there's gonna be ten thousand
(35:37):
Blue Jay fans there, shove it down there. They won't
do it. It's not their DNA. They will not do it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
They will.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I was surprised that that you just weren't.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Right away on social was shot, just hammering shocked, because
Jackson and I were just in celebral on social media
within twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Drop.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
If you would have been at my house, you would
have seen me very very excited and giggling my ass off.
I think I may have peed a little bit with that,
but I also I also could not process what I
just saw. It was so unbelievable to me that Rojas
did that, and then the play at the double play,
and then the play at the plate.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I was floored.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I just couldn't believe what I was watching. I was like,
my god, this is like Christmas Day? Are you kidding me?
What have I done to deserve this?
Speaker 3 (36:30):
We couldn't have scripted it better, unbelievable, We could not
have believe as Mari and her fans, we could not
have possibly scripted it better.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Well for them? Yeah, I get it. Three fifty six.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Hugh Mellon's going to join next on ninety three to
three KJRFM
Yeah, what a weekend, man, what a weekend it was, dude.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Husky's into the top twenty five for the first time
since they lost to Michigan at the end of the
twenty twenty three season. Blue Jays choke away a four
to three lead in the ninth inning and lose the
World Series to the Dodgers. At home, you wake up
and gain an extra hour of sleep, and the Hawks
beat the piss out of the Commanders on Sunday Night football.
(00:25):
It Oh, by the way, if you're still into this stuff,
the Cougar's lost to the Beavers, by the way too
over the weekend, So I don't know, dude, it was
a pretty amazing weekend for a lot of us over here,
And obviously any other situation, we probably would start with
the World Series, right, unbelievable Game seven, amazing finish one
for the Ages. We'll talk to Jim Bowden about that
later in a week. We'll talk to Larry Stone about
(00:47):
that later in the week. But it is not a
coincidence that we are sitting here today across the street
from Loomingfield, the home of your Seattle Seahawks, talking about
a team that went on the road and you and
I said all week, hey man, just go on the
road and just get a win.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Just come home with a win.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Right, you would have been happy winning this one twenty
seven to twenty, you know, twenty to sixteen, Just get
out of.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
There with a win.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
But you go on the road and you absolutely drop
a hammer on the Washington Commanders in essence basically ending
their season now courtesy of Drake Thomas in that tackle
on Jayde Daniels. And we'll talk about dan Quinn's responsibility.
He's already admitted he blew it, by the way by
leaving Jane Daniels in the game. But I just think
there's no reason why Seahawks fans, guys right now should
(01:32):
not be talking about making a run and doing something
great this year. You know, I heard somebody say the
other day, maybe this is like the twenty twelve Seahawks.
You know what I say, bull crap. Maybe it's like
the twenty thirteen Seahawks and they can actually make a
run because this thing's wide open.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Guys, who do you really fear? Honestly, who do you
really fear? In the NFC?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
There's good teams that you respect, no question, we all
respect Green Bay We all respect Philadelphia. You have to
is the defending cheer. We all respect the Lions, the Rams,
blah blah blah. But I don't fear anybody. I don't
fear anybody in the NFL, to be totally honest with you,
And I think they've got their best combination. They have
their best combination Dick, in my opinion right now of defense, quarterback,
(02:16):
offensive line, and head coach. Maybe since twenty thirteen at least,
maybe since twenty fourteen, but maybe even since they won
the whole damn thing in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That was really fricking impressive. What those guys did last night.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, if you look at point differential, they're right there
with two thousand and five and twenty thirteen. I mean,
the only two teams that have had a point differential
this good, this laid into the season are those two teams.
And they made the Super Bowl in both of them
and won the Super Bowl and one of them. I mean,
we're probably put the brakes on there on that a
little bit right now.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Because we are only one halfway through the season.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But it's funny.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You pointed at Lumenfield there, and I happened to look
across over my right shoulder. You know a picture I
don't see on that wall, Sam Darnald, Sam Darnold, Yeah,
are you can see.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Somewhere else by the way, Ie. They're photos on.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
The opposition there there is.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
But we always talk about these photos and who gets
replaced and who gets put on and everything. And it's
funny that you have got a quarterback that is unquestionably
top five in the NFL this season. Now you can
debate if he's a top five quarterback overall in the NFL,
but there is no questions that you have a top
five NFL quarterback in twenty twenty five right now, and
(03:23):
he is making an unbelievable amount of difference.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
And I was.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Really I was nervous at the spot last night, the
spot that the Seahawks were going into a commander's team
that absolutely had to win that game or their season
was going to be over. At three and six in
this NFC, you are done. And they had Jaden Daniels
coming back. They had the posse on the field before
the game, Art Monk and Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders.
(03:49):
They were pumping up the old school and I was like,
this is this is a danger game. And I can't
believe how little stress Seahawks fans had in that game.
I mean, we stressed for like five minutes and after
that there was zero stress for three and a half quarters.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We twenty one nothing. I agree with you, it was
over at twenty one nothing. It was really over at
twenty eight, right, but you know, twenty one nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It was done.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
And I just think it was again, You've got to
be a good team to go on the road and
do something like this.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
This is not a mirage.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And you mentioned kind of pumping the breaks on certain things,
and I mean, I guess, I mean, I don't want
to pump the brakes on anything like I mean, if
this was baseball and the All Star Game was in
the middle of the year, Sam Darnold would be up
for the starting pitcher in the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That's the way he's playing right now. I mean, he
is just.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
This is the second year in a row now, save
for those last couple of games, the game against what
Detroit in Week eighteen and then the playoff game where
he's been amazing. And I was going back and I
was comparing his eight starts with the Vikings a year
ago versus his eight starts right now with the Seahawks,
and his numbers are strikingly similar except for one number,
(04:58):
which we'll get two in a second. He threw the
two hundred and twenty three times after eight games a
year ago, two hundred and sixteen times this year, seventy
point four sixty nine point five just over two thousand,
nineteen hundred and sixteen touchdowns versus seven five interceptions versus
seven nine point six yards per pass versus eight point five.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The difference is the protection. And that's what boggles my mind, Like,
what are we doing? What bizarre world are we living in?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
We've got a Mariner ownership group that went out at
the deadline and did what we wanted them to do,
and then we have an offensive line in Seattle that's
actually good. Like these are not supposed to be happening,
especially together.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Maybe you get one, but not both. We're getting both.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And look at the difference the offensive line is making
for this football team. Why people were bitching and moaning
for so many years about fix the line. I don't
care about all the shiny parts.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I want you to fix the guts. Fix the guts
of the team, and they have the number one rushing
defense in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They have a pass rush that got after Jade and
Daniels more so than he ever has in his career.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
By the way, last night.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They made life a living hell for Jaden Daniels yesterday.
And you have an offensive line that's only allowed nine
sacks to their starting quarterback and the first eight games
of the year after he was sacked twenty five times
in the first eight games last year with Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
What the hell's going on in Seattle?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
We got an ownership group who listens to their fans
and went to Game seven because of it, and.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
An offensive line that all of a sudden might be
pretty good. Dick Fate, Well, I.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Mean the Mariners went out and got two guys. Aw,
so the Seahawks didn't. I mean the Seahawks got one guy.
And it was a great draft picks, making a huge
with the logical draft.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It was a good draft picks.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It was really the draft pick that any Seahawks fan
could have just said, well, duh, I mean, he's staring
you in the face, go get the guy. But you
got a credit John Schneider for doing that. Now he
still has a fix right guard.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, but it's not just Zabel though.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's the coaching, it's the coaching of the offensive line coach,
it's the coaching of Clint Kubiak. I thought Clint Kubiak
had a marvelous game last night for the Hawks. I
mean really just amazing mixing things up, and how he
continues to get Jackson Smith and Jigma the ball with
all these injuries they've had on their on their wide
receiving corps is unbelievable. I mean, it almost defies logic
(07:19):
that this guy can keep putting up these numbers. You like, Look,
I thought last night, Dick, before the game, honestly that, Okay,
if there's ever gonna be a game where a defensive
coach takes away Jackson Smith and Jigba, it's gonna be tonight.
Cooper cups out, Bobo's out, Horton's getting bumped up, blah
blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And he didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
He couldn't couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I mean, you're even you get third and seventeen and
they're still getting there, getting first towns. But that the
word that keeps coming to mind when I see Sam Donald,
and it was illustrated perfectly when they showed that. They
showed that replay remember of him going first progression, second progression,
third progression. Yes, the offensive line did an amazing job.
But you have a quarterback now that actually feels comfortable
(08:01):
sitting in the pocket and going through his progressions instead
of most of the other quarterbacks in the NFL where
you see one or two progressions and then they make
a bad throw or they try to escape the pocket
and use their legs to get He just stands there.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Just decisive.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Decisive is the word, probably the best word I can
come up with to describe the first half of this
season for Sam Dark.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, I just just think again, guys Jackson, sorry to
just give you a quick second that the offensive line
protecting him, and you mentioned that video you're talking about
where collins Worth was just talking about how you know
he's going through his progressions. There's so many little cutups
and clips all over social media of him just sitting
in the pocket and having all the time he needs
(08:47):
to throw the ball. And I think coaching is mattering
right now. It's absolutely mattering for this football team. I mean,
Charles Cross might be a better player. Abe Lucas might
be a better player. Jalen Sundell literally right under their
freaking noses. When they went out and got Connor Williams
and drafted big o'lu from Michigan, they had Jalen Sundal.
(09:07):
So that's another difference, by the way, is Sundell versus
what they had a year ago. But then you combine
the coaching, you combine the play calling, all this stuff.
It's it's been unbelievable. And I just think, guys, I
think Seahawk fans, I mean, look, you do whatever you
want to do. You want to pump the breaks, pump
the brakes. I'm not pumping anything. I think this is
a super Bowl caliber football team.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And part of it is because of the NFC. It's
the exact same reason why we were so fired up
for the Mariners, because the American League, sorry, was wide open.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It's the same thing in this league.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
If I saw dominant teams in the NFL, if I
saw dominant teams in the NFC, maybe it'd be like,
all right, you know, this is fun. But in the
end they're gonna be falling short. I mean, guys, they've
lost two games by a combined seven points. Go back
and look at all the other six and two teams.
I'm curious to know if anybody is that close to
being an eight to o besides the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So they've been in every game with a minute left
to go in every game they played, every single one,
they've had a chance to win, and they haven't even
started running.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The ball yet. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
They haven't even started running the ball with any real consistency.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And they haven't even started winning at home either. I mean,
all they.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Can do is win on the road. Guy's eleven and one.
He stinks at home, but he's eleven and one on
the road. That that eventually might change, As you said.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I think both weeks ago, right, I think the whole
record is gonna get much better, and the road record
probably will.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Who those do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But that's the thing is that they still can get better.
They Cooper Cup can do more, Kenny Walker can do more,
they can do more at home. Their secondary hasn't been
healthy the entire year. They haven't played a full freaking
game yet with their supposed starting secondary.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So Jackson, I love where this team is at.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Man, it does feel like a defense that isn't twenty thirteen. Like,
but boy, they're like the light version, the Walmart version
of the thirteen defense, because they're just savagery is a
good word for It just feels like that. And then like,
what thirteen didn't have is elite offensive web I mean
Marshawn obviously, but passing game wise, I mean Sam. We
(11:08):
had to, you know, come to grips with the fact
that boys, Sam Donald is elite. The difference in yards
per attempt right now, he's number one in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
We all know that at nine point six.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
But the difference between Sam Donald in first and Jordan
Love and fourth is the same difference between Jordan Love
and fourth. And then we go all the way to
Joe Flacco in twenty sixth place, Jackson Smith and Jigbu
yardage number one in the NFL at nine to forty eight.
The difference of JSN to the fourth receiver, George Pickens
(11:39):
is the same difference from fourth to thirty.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Eighth place in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
We have elite passing offensive weapons in Seattle for the
first time and god knows how long, and.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yet it's not even the best side of the ball.
That's the amazing thing. I mean that defense.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
When impressed me most about that defense when you see
somebody make a catch for the position and the cameras
kind of zoomed in on them right, and you don't
see any blue jerseys around the person. We they get
like two yards after the catch, even though no one
is close to it. We close on the ball so
(12:16):
well and gang tackle so well. You watch teams throughout
the NFL, there are some horrible tackling teams out there,
and so when you see a team like Seattle, the
only other team I've seen that's as good as Seattle
at that is Indianapolis. Indianapolis Rallies do the ball and
they bring you down. Those are the two best tackling
teams I've seen all season in the NFL. And that
(12:37):
may play out. Who knows, Maybe that's your Maybe that's
your Super Bowl. The two best tackling teams in the NFL.
Daniel Jones against Sam Darnel.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You know how they do the college football playoff simulator
thing where you can kind of spin the wheel and
get all these different possibilities. I wonder if you did
it for a Super Bowl matchup, how many different possibilities
would come out? A ton right Ton tons, tons of possibilities,
all kinds of different scenarios.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And this is what the NFL wants. The NFL wants parody.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
The NFL wants every fan base to think they have
a shot of playing in that game. It's the biggest
game sports has to offer, obviously, in the NFL wants
every fan base thinking they can do it. And I
just think again, for Sam Darnold, he is playing like
an MVP candidate. Probably not gonna win it Jackson, Smith
and Jig, but with a few more touchdowns, probably would
be a more serious contender.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He's what is he? Where's he at touchdowns? Right now?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He's way down the list. He's number one in the yards,
but tied for eighteenth and touchdowns and fifth and catches.
So but if he gets to two thousand yards, if
he breaks Calvin Johnson's record, He's gonna be on ballots.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
He will absolutely be on ballots. There is no doubt
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But I mean that's the thing about the defense is
I think the star of the show is still Mike
McDonald's scheme.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I mean I see really good players, I see Pro
Bowl type players, but I don't see Hall of famers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Oh and then you see backups coming in and play
like Drake Thomas and Tyle Kotta.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Like exactly, I mean, how does that even happen? That
Drake Thomas?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
How many people are watching that game last night seeing
Thomas on the back of this guy's jersey and saying,
who the hell's that?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Had no idea who he was?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And pff, Adam is one of their top five graded
guys from the game last night, with a cat of
number one. By the way, number one Riek Willam was
number two despite that meathead personal foul cally guy yesterday.
So sorry, guys, I just think this. I think that
this is not even close to scratch on the surface.
I mean, look, Darnold eventually, who knows he's gonna have
a step back, But can he remain steady the entire year?
(14:29):
You know, this idea that he's just a game manager,
I mean that's been just flushed down the toilet because
the guy's averaging over ten yards a throw, or he
was averaging over ten yards now he's at nine point six.
But this is not a guy that's thinking and dunkan.
This is not a guy who's being brought in here
to just say, hey, just manage the offense. You know,
don't do too much blah blah blah. You and I
had that debate over the offseason. He is moving the ball,
(14:51):
He's pushing the ball down the field, and the reason
why he's able to do it is because of the
fricking offensive line. That's why, guys, we gotta give the
offensive line. We have to have to, have to have
to have to come back to the offensive line. This
is what we've wanted. They're playing better. I don't even
care about the names. Just play better. Whether it's coaching,
whether it's Abel, whether it's Sundew, whether it's Sabe Lucas
(15:13):
and Charles Cross growing up. I don't give a damn.
They are playing way better than we've seen the last
four or five years. This is the best offensive line
we've had in a long time.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, and it still as a major hole. That's an
amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Like if you can plug that one major hole up,
I mean, you could be talking about a top five
offensive line in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I'm wondering what Hugh thinks about the way Bradford played
last night, because Collinsworth was he was all over in
a good way. He was talking about how he had
a great game last night, so we'll see if he
agrees with that.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
To your point, though, I I just went through the NFL.
We are nine games through the season right and there
are fourteen teams. Yeah, that I would not be stunned
if they were playing in the super Bowl right now.
I'd be surprised if some of them were. But I
wouldn't be stunned. Like teams like the Patriots, Sure, I'd
have him on my list.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Sure, teams like.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
The Broncos, I'd have him on my list. Fort to
seven in the A and seven in the NFC. That
I would not be stunned if they can make it
all the way to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
That is how wide opened this season.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And they're one of them. Hawks are one of them.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
A little if that means you could lose in the
first round or you could win the NFC. I mean,
everything's on the table. It's kind of like the baseball playoffs. Man,
everything's on the table for these guys this year. So
we'll see what they do, if anything. At the deadline
tomorrow I think is one o'clock our time. But Hawks
are rolling, man against Some of your thoughts on the
text line are you. Are you ready to believe that
this is a super Bowl caliber team that if there's
(16:32):
a group of teams that could play in that Super Bowl,
which I don't know if anybody had those thoughts over
the offseason, I'll be ready now to say that this
should be one of those teams. In that conversation or
do they have to show you a little more four nine,
four to five one will get to that factor. Fiction
brought to you by the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
That's coming next. Fun with AUTI You at three forty

The R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now back
to Softie and Dick on your Home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R fainer on First.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Down thirteen thirteen and to the Races. It's White, Ah.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
The White, Cody White for the touchdown the first of
his NFL career. Uh, Mike toa Rico, NBC Sports last night.
I think Mike does a really really good job, by
the way, Not sure what you guys, think he's at
what he does.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'll tell you what, man, Let's see if you can,
uh can you can? You can you guess what Softie's thinking?
Which is a very dangerous game to play. I know
that no, I have what what can't even begin?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
What play? Do you think? Turned me on the most
last night watching that game Jackson.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
For me to play the Tommy on most was the kickoff.
Well we got a back in, so it's sort of
just like, Okay, it's gonna be one of these days.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
That's what popped into my mind. Dick, Okay, Brandon Peely,
you're both wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
That's a good one though. That got me got me
going a little bit. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
That one was the one, like Jackson said, that was
the one that was like, oh dude, this kid games done.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
The one where I just jumped off my couch and
just went, oh Nick emn Worr one handed Deebo Samuel,
are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
And he was me he was getting accosted.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That that is like, what was the guy for Mike somebody?
I think his name was Mike Cook. I'm not Mike Scott.
Whatever the dB for Illinois That demon Williams ran over.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
A week and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, Greg Lewis went on the postgame show and said
that guy should just turn his shorter pads in.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And just walk home.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Deebo, Samuel, what's that? What's that, Jeff for? Is a gift?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Jackson? Whatever? It's going?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Where the guys just got his head down and he's
just moping around. That's what Deebo should have done, because
Deepo's a big guy, right, Deebo should have just walked
off the field, walked into the locker room, taking his
stuff off, jumped into an uber and went home after
what the rookie did to him last night. I mean, dude,
(19:15):
if you're not totally turned on, I mean, Hugh Millan
said it perfectly this morning, and you're gonna not like
this Jackson at all. I gonna like this at all.
I'm gonna tell you what he said. Well you find
out in about five seconds.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
He said. If you didn't like that, play go watch soccer. Wow. Wow,
that's what he said. Well, that's what he said.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
He is.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Hugh just doesn't understand soccer, and that's okay. If he
ever wants a lesson in soccer, he can come to me.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I was walking DJ this morning and I heard that.
I just had to burst out laughing at the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Oh my god. Not that I agree with the Jackson.
I just thought.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
It was I know you don't.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, that is that is just that play last night, man,
everything that we've been hearing about talking about with nick
Em and Worry.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Are you kid me?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Man?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That is exactly the play why that's the epitome of
why people are fired up for him.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I just keep seeing nick Emon Worry, and I'm like, Oh,
this is the type of player that the Seahawks traded
two first round picks for and never got.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
That's right, Jamal Adams. Oh god, this is.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
The type of player that they expected and hoped to
get by sending two first round draft picks to the Jets.
And God bless him, he might be worth two first
round draft picks.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
He might be that good.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, Jamal Adams can't even hold that guy's underwear. I
mean it is unbelievable what he's been doing since he's
been healthy. And then then two plays later they had
the sack and it was Leonard Williams. I mean, Leonard
Williams is playing like an All Pro defensive lineman. He
didn't get credit for the sack, but he was the
one that blew it up and forced Jade Daniels up
in the pocket for that sack two days later. And
(20:57):
I just think that that may be Guys, the biggest
surprise for me this year is the way the Seahawk
defensive line is getting after it, because I mean, let's
be honest, they went out and they made some tweaks whatever,
but they didn't go through any wholesale changes to their
defensive line. I mean we were even kind of critical
of them. You gotta go out and get some pass rush,
(21:17):
and they didn't really go out and do it.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I like their death, I know their front line, guys.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Star of the show is the scheme. And I tweeted
this last night.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You see my tweet that I think if you're an
NFL defensive player, you should be begging to play for
Mike McDonald, especially if you're a guy whose contract is
coming close to being up, because your value is gonna sky.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Who can make you so much money if you come here,
especially if you're a young, hungry guy. And then I
think a great schemer is one that can take pieces
and make them better. Than they actually are. We mentioned
Drake Thomas, we mentioned Tyle Katta. They're nice players, but
I don't think Amy is confusing them with pro bowlers.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, look at what happened Byron Maxwell when he left
Pete Carroll. That's right. I think that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
These guys that play for Pete Carroll and they go
elsewhere and they just can't live up to the hype
because they're in the wrong sys.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
So they would make so much money.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Come here, speaking of speaking of making money, Deebo Samuel
is stealing money from Washington. You know, Deebo Samuel really
has two seasons in his entire NFL career and the
rest of his career he has either been injured or just.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Kind of what's he making this year? What's he making?
He signed?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Let me look, I think he might be let me
let me double check.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Ye stealing?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
No, But you're saying he's not even worth that. I'm saying,
not seventeen point five mil that's making he is.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
He's absolutely a nothing. Because so when you mentioned Deebo Sammon, yea,
it was unbelievable played by Nickamian Warrior. But remember what
Deebo used to be. He used to be the punisher,
and now he gets paid seventeen million dollars when he's
got nothing left.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Let's get the Factor Fiction right now.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Glad you're with us, it's.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the ten
thousand dollars grand prize. It's Fat Door Fiction probably presented
by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day feels lucky.
Fact Or Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
R f M. All right, big thanks for our friends
at the Lucky Eagle Casino on a hotel where every
day feels lucky. We went three and two, another winning week.
Nothing wrong with all. Just keep churning out winning weeks.
On the radio show on Factor Fiction, Jackson Felts, put
your hands together, big win, Jocko Jackson.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I want to know Jackson Purple Week.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Don't know what you're talking about, Jackson, No help at all.
That was all you, man, That was all us.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
We're not allowed to give help show.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
We didn't. We didn't give any help. I don't know
what the hell you're talking about. Shut up.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Three and two on the on the week for us,
so doing good. But tell you what, man, you guys
know who leads the NFL and QBR.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Any Idea Jackson who leads the NFL QBR.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I was going to guess Sam Darnold, but Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Dak Prescott leads the national thing, right he does. He
leads the National Health Ball League in QBR.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Lamar Jackson's right behind him, Sam Donald's right behind him,
and then Patrick Mahomes is right behind that. So Sam
Donald has a higher QBR and passer rating than Patrick
Mahomes does after eight games in the National Football League.
But Dak Prescott is quietly kind of putting together a
pretty good year, but nobody talks about it because the
Cowboys are three and four and they're all pissed off
of Jerry Jones because the team is going down the toilet.
(24:23):
So I don't know, I see a Cardinal football team. There's,
in the words of Scott Woodward, the haves and the
have nots in the NFC West. Cardinals are have not
right now. I don't even know if Kyler Murray is
even really healthy, to be honest with you. So we're
gonna take Dallas minus the three and a half tonight
at home on Monday Night Football on National TV. The Cowboys,
(24:46):
I believe, get it done tonight against Arizona and the
Seahawks for the second consecutive week. We'll see a team
on a short week coming off Monday Night football when
the Cardinals come to town on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
So let's hope for the Cowboys to win.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Let's hope for the Cowboys to beat up the Cardinals
a little bit before they come to town on Sunday,
and let's hope they cover the three and a half.
We're taking Dallas minus the points.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Different player at home than he is on the road.
Dak Prescott's career in Jerry Joe and Jerry World.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Forty five, eighteen and one crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
He is an elitely good quarterback in that building against
an Arizona team that I didn't get it from the beginning.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I don't know what you thought about Arizona the beginning
of the season.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I heard people talk like, oh, you know, Arizona's kind
of a sleeper in the NFC. What are you talking about.
Arizona does the same thing every single year. They fade
down the stretch, and this year they didn't even need
to fade down the stretch because they faded early. This season,
they're not a good football team.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I love that line.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, let's do it three and a half as the
pick Cowboys, given the points you like. In fact, you
hated fiction to four at nine four five one. We
would have had a four and one week last week
if not for the Cougars crapping themselves against Oregon State. Man,
that was a classic we don't think we can even
need to show up to win this game type performance
by the Coups. They look freaking terrible against Oregon State.
(26:02):
You see their fans rush the field, by the way,
after beating the Kokes.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Good for them. I mean they've been.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Crapped on, they've been pooped on, they've had their face
rubbed in the dirt.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Whatever. So let the kids have a little fun.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:14):

Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that? What's that? What's We'll start in baseball
Game seven? Too? Bad man?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Shame. Maybe you clowns shouldn't have run your mouth.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Maybe this is karma for all that's talked that came
out of your pilots. Definitely karma after Game seven, which
that's complete nonsense, but that's the crap they were saying.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It was karma for hitting Springer.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Let's start fun with audio today by hearing the joy
of victory in the agony of defeat. First Dodgers radio
voice Steven Nelson calling the World Series winning double play
on Saturday night for AM five seventy.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
In Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Broken Back ground Ball Bets has its steps on.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
The back the Dona Fars double play.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
From Becks against the wall to back to Beck the
Dodgers cement their dynasty.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Win Game seven and extrainings.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You know what I was actually surprised about. You really
couldn't tell on that clip right there. There was a
few Dodger fans in the stags were for Game six.
In Game seven, they were you could hear it was
audible on TV. Definitely on TV. You couldn't really hear
it there. That was kind of an odd call. I thought, there, Yeah,
just jointed.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, he's kind of okay whatever scripted. It felt yeah,
very very very bad. But that's okay.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
They won the World Series.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
But yeah, there was a ton of Dodger fans and
they kept showing them there at the end of the game.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
It was pretty cool watching.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I mean, I just love the back and forthween the
Dodger fans and then the Blue Jay fans with their
head in their hands. I don't think we've talked nearly
enough about how excited we were about that game.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
We have to do that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well, we've only been on the air for forty five minutes,
and we had a big Seahawk win yesterday.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
That's what it. Just just take it easy, we'll get
to it. I know you're excited. I'm very on the
other side of things. Let's keep it here.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Here was Dan Shulman with Sportsnet Canada calling mcguil Rojas's
game tying home run for the Dodgers with one out
and two strikes in the ninth inning and a ball
hit to t play shield and it's gone. Rohash has
(29:13):
hit it out and has tied the game. Here that
I'm didning and to see the cloud here is stunned
would be an understatement. Yeah see, I don't think that
was either a great call, to be honest with you,
I mean, what happened to the.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Are you kidding me? Really?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Dave Kneehouse, what did we just see? I thought Joe
Davis's call was the best of all of them.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
He's like, no.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Way, what the hell just happened? That was unbelievable the
call by Joe Davis. And by the way, you hear
what Miguel Rojas said after the game. He said hitting
a home run was not on my bingo card. He
didn't even think he would he could do something like that.
Guy hadn't had a hit in a month. For God's sakes,
he leaves him in the game, makes a great defensive
play at second base. It's the maybe one of the
(29:59):
biggest home runs and Dodger postseason history.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Good for him, man.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
His last home run was September nineteen. Praisey the home
run prior to that, Yeah, July night.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Two home runs in three and a half.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Honestly, it would have been like Dylan Moore if Dylan
Moore stepped up and popped a home run to tie
the game for the Mariners in the ninth and n
of Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Caleb Joseph is a former MLB catcher and current sports
net analyst in Canada for Blue Jays games. After Toronto
lost Game seven Saturday, Joseph opened up his postgame commentary
with this take.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
There were a lot of wet eyes, and I don't
doubt him, and I don't blame him for that, and
it's gonna sound like sour grapes and I don't really
give it, but I think the better team did not
win this series. I think the Blue Jays are the
better team, and I feel like they played baseball a
certain way that was infectious, that grabbed the attention of
the fans, and it's it's disheartening to see that the
(31:01):
better team did not win. And that's not to take
anything away from the Dodgers, but the Blue Jays, they
did so many things correct, they did so many things
right well.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, I think the better team won, to be
honest with you, from a talent perspective, but I think
when you get down to it Game seven in the
World Series, it's a flip of the coin fifty to
fifty proposition. And the difference in a lot of ways
is that the Dodgers had Yoshi Yamamoto and they didn't,
and they were throwing Shane Bieber out. There was coming
off Tommy john surgery, and let's face it, outside of
that home run he gave up to Rojas, he's actually
(31:32):
been pretty damn good.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So is Suersier.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Both of those guys. I mean, these are two really,
really good baseball teams. And here's some here's some analysis.
Somebody had to win. How about that for a take
and it happened to be a team with a guy
who the day before almost threw a hundred pitches and
Yamamoto and turned in one of the more legendary pitching
(31:54):
performances in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
It's the blade of a knife. We talk about it
all the time in that sport.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
The better team loses the World Series and the Super
Bowl all the time. I mean, yeah, I agree with you.
The Dodgers were the more talented team. I think they
were the better team overall. They weren't the better team
in that series. I think the Blue Jays were clearly
the better team in that series.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
And so the guy is right. But my answer here,
my responsive.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
The Seahawks were a better team than the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
But the Patriots got.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
It done at the very end, just like the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Got it done partially because Cliff Avl got hurt. And that's,
you know, stuffart of the game. Stuff happens. Man, be ready,
be better prepared. Have a bigger lead. If you're a
kinder Falafful, whatever the hell his name is, I on
third base, have a little bit of a bit of
a bigger lead on third base, and maybe a score
when Rojas is falling on his ass trying to make
that play at home play. So I think they're gonna
(32:52):
have a hard time getting over this.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's like I tweeted on Saturday night, man, welcome to
the club, because you'll never ever ever get And by
the way, did you see there there was a Seahawks
Super Bowl forty nine game reference during the game by
John Smoltz on Saturday. There was also another one by
Tariico and collins Worth last night during the Commander game.
(33:15):
It's never going away for us, just like this is
never going away for them.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Ever, I still think this is a more painful way
to lose than that was.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
For the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, I mean maybe, I don't know, dude, I mean,
four strikes away, it's all context, man.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Losing the last two games at home in the series.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, losing a lead in the ninth inning, I mean
I think, I don't know. I mean it was I
can't think of a more painful way to lose in
sports than what they have just done.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
I think everything's in context, right, Like the Hawks had
already won one the year before, the Blue Jays had
won last year, maybe it'd be less painful but they're.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Waiting thirty three years since their last title.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
If you're forty, If you're forty, you almost have no
memory of that whatsoever. This was the first time for
almost the entire city, or a big portion of it. Sorry,
when it comes to winning a championship and they blew
it too bad, too bad. Now you can taste it
the way we tasted it.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Joy. Hope it goes down smooth. Did you happen to
hear that? What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Our buddy Dave Portnoy this morning on Wake Up Barstool
on FS one made it clear he's not feeling bad
for Toronto after they choked the World Series away.
Speaker 11 (34:29):
I saw a Conor McDavid clip and he's talking about
how the Oilers are playing in there showing the Blue
Jays game. During the Oilers game, he was actually upset.
He's like, it's weird. I was distracted they took it off.
But he also said, we lose, that's all we do.
We lose in horrific fashion. Nobody knows it more than me.
And this is a city and a team that has
(34:50):
now really made a habit out of being just emasculated
on the biggest stage at the biggest moment possible, and
I loved it. I don't like anybody winning except my teams.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You know what I think the Mariners should do, and
they'll never do it. They'll never ever ever do it.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yes, they'll never run. They'll never do it. They never will.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
We go to Oregon, they play the Kenny Wheaton thing,
and I realize it's different because it's a game that
involves the Huskies whatever. But if I were the Mariners,
I would the next next fourth of July when they
come to town, I'd say, let's take a moment before
this series begins and go over some of the highlights
from last year's World Series, and Miguel Rojas will smith
Yamamoto the whole thing because there's gonna be ten thousand
(35:37):
Blue Jay fans there, shove it down there. They won't
do it. It's not their DNA. They will not do it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
They will.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I was surprised that that you just weren't.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Right away on social was shot, just hammering shocked, because
Jackson and I were just in celebral on social media
within twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Drop.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
If you would have been at my house, you would
have seen me very very excited and giggling my ass off.
I think I may have peed a little bit with that,
but I also I also could not process what I
just saw. It was so unbelievable to me that Rojas
did that, and then the play at the double play,
and then the play at the plate.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I was floored.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I just couldn't believe what I was watching. I was like,
my god, this is like Christmas Day? Are you kidding me?
What have I done to deserve this?
Speaker 3 (36:30):
We couldn't have scripted it better, unbelievable, We could not
have believe as Mari and her fans, we could not
have possibly scripted it better.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Well for them? Yeah, I get it. Three fifty six.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
