Speaker 1 (00:00):
We go short one before the Avalanche and crack And
coming up pregame five thirty. Hopefully the crack And can
score a goal tonight. They've been out scored nine to
one in their last three games after hammering Montreal last week.
They really just blew their water. I guess, man, they
dropped a hammer. What you can't say that, I didn't
say that. What depends on what you think it means.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I think Petros has said it about a dozen times.
You see, this is why you think he's living a
secret double life. Something's going on him. Yes, yes, you
because you're sitting here and you're playing the piano with
Church on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You're you know, you have this image of this. You know,
really some guy. There's something going on there in Normandy Park.
You ever wonder why he lives so far off the
road by the way to his.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
House long dark drive Jackson dark driveway, Jackson driveway, So
who knows where?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
And what's going to keep our lights off?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's right, that nobody comes.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
The weird stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
There's even a creak behind it is you never know
what's back. That's what I'm talking about that I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Starting to get freaked out. So did you hear about
this Joel Embiid thing? By the way, with the I'm
not gonna says guy.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I knew about the shoving, right, I did not know
what prog did the shoving.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So I don't know all the details because I have
not read the column. But you remember how pissed off
we got when Jamal Adams went after the guy's wife
on social media.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
This is the reverse of that.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
This is a columnist who was basically writing a story
in general terms about Joel Embiid and his lack of availability.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
He's been banged up so far this year.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And this guy, apparently and I'm paraphrasing here and if
I'm getting anything wrong, just please jump in, was apparently
questioning like the guy's desire to play basketball a lot
of people are doing right. And in his column he
brought up his family like apparently.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Did he lose a son?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Did Joel Embiid lose a child? I think he may have,
but he brought up like his brother. He brought up
his kid, and Joel Embiid saw this guy and just
went after him. Here it is he took issue with
a recent column by Philadelphia Inquired columnist Marcus Hayes. In it,
Hayes mentioned Embiid's son and late brother sorry, both named Arthur,
(02:17):
while questioning Embiid's professionalism and effort to stay in shape.
And I just have a general rule, dude, in this
forum that we play in here, this sandbox that we're playing,
shut the hell.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Up about the family.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay, keep the kids, keep the moms, keep the wife,
keep the brothers, keep the sisters. So I don't have
any problem with Joel Embiid shoving this guy. He should
have beat his ass is what he should have done.
And the fact that he's got to take a three
game suspension for this. Look, I get that the NBA
has got to be above it all. They got to
put on a great face. Like Jason Kelcey last night
(02:48):
right on TV comes out. You guys heard about that.
So he's at the Penn Stake game correct this last weekend,
and somebody walks up to Jason Kelcey and says, hey,
how about your f ford brother Dayton Taylor Swift, And
he took his phone and smashed it to the ground.
Jason Kelsey should have kicked his ass too, for saying
(03:10):
that but he had to go on.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
The year and apologize. So this guy's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
On the year and apologize on ESPN for that, and
Joel Embiid's going to take a three game suspension for
shoven This clown who mentioned his late brother and his
son in a column.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think it's a pathetic. I'm sorry. We live in
a world, guys, where too many people are running their
freaking mouths without any consequences whatsoever. No, I agree.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I just think that the public figures like that have
to hold themselves to a higher standard. You know, it's
not you know people too, Dick. I know it's not.
But it's not Joe from Allentown, PA that's smashing the
dude's phone. It's Jason Kelsey, you know. And so therefore, yes,
he had to come out and apologize. I'm sure, on
(03:54):
behalf of his employer, he had to come out and apologize.
But you just can't bring phil a cality into it.
I don't care what you're called. I don't care what
your son's call, I don't care what your wife's called.
And you just, especially if you're a public figure, you just.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Can't do it.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Look, I understand why you would say that, And the
biggest reason why you would say that is because you're
way more mature than I would. Okay, that's that's that's
that's the number one reason said.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I dump people in creeks.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, yeah, but you keep that pride. You're you're just
way more mature than me. Maybe I'm just a hot head.
Maybe I got a short fuse, but I I just disagree.
I think that there is a time and a place
for somebody getting cracked over the head is warranted. And
with these two bozos did to me, Jackson, I'm sorry,
warrants it.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
That's fine, and and that's fine if you believe that
everybody is entitled to their beliefs and everything else. I
am one hundred percent on Dick's side here, and I
agree physicality is off the table. But if you're a
public figure even then, like there's a way that I
think you can respond to it. If you're just if
you are Joe from Allentown, Pennsylvania. But if you are
(05:01):
a public figure, you even have to take a moment
to respond to figure out what is the right way
to respond about I think I think if if it's
if it's me, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I'm not a public figure.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
If it's me and that I'm Jason Kelsey, then and
then I am swearing the dude out right in his face.
And I'm probably not going physical because that's just not
who I am. But if you are a public you
can't even swear out the person in their face. You
have to just act even cooler. And that's the part
that works me. Everybody should be entitled to say words back,
even if you're Jason Kelcey, you should be able to
(05:31):
do that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I mean, I just I just think.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
There's a difference between understanding why you would react that
way and agreeing.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That that's the best way to handle it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And if somebody Jackson, if somebody said something about rise
to your face.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And you went and you went and slugged.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Them, I wouldn't and which I wouldn't do.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I would say, you know, I would think, you know what,
I don't blame Jackson for doing that. I don't judge
Jackson doing that, but I don't think that was the
right way for Jackson to handle it. I would just
say a lot of words.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
And I mean, it's the same time if I was
a public figure of Jason Kelsey statue, you can't even
say those words.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I just think I just think everybody has their breaking point.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know, look, I get it in general terms. I'm
with you.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
You want to be the bigger person, you want to
take the high road whatever. I think there's only so
much people can take though, by the way, okay, because
everybody has their busting point. And for Joel Embiid, who
probably has been taking heat for this for months from
or years actually right, he's.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Been taking crap from people for years.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yes, he plays in Philadelphia, where the media can be
a ballbuster. We all understand that you got to be
a certain kind of tough to handle media in Philadelphia, New.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
York, Dallas, places like that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And then for Jason Kelsey, I'm certain he's walking around
taking heat from people too because of his brother and
how much his network is showing his future sister in
law on TV.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So everybody has their breaking point.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And I just think that again, you want me to
walk away, you want Jason Kelce to walk away, You
want Joel embi to walk away, that's fine. Then guarantee
me there's gonna be some repercussion for the dipstick that
opened up his pie hole or brings this guy's dead
brother up in a column.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah. I don't know if there will be.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You know, Joel Embiid has has put himself and I
think the Sixers have helped put him in a very
bad light.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And the bad light is he plays, yes, because he played.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
All summer for Team USA and was fine, right, right,
And there has been what's his injury? By the way,
there has been no knee injury. Yeah, but there's been
no official designation by the Sixers that Joel mbia has hurt.
This could have if they wanted to rest Joel Embiid
and they only wanted to play him fifty games this year,
which I think is really smart for him to do.
All they would have had to say is Joel Embiid
(07:44):
hurt his knee in training camp.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Why aren't for two months? Why? I don't know. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But that's why he's getting heat because he played for
Team USA and it looks like he doesn't think the
NBA regular season important, which you know, it's a lot
of people agree.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I mean, look, if you're a Sixer fan, and I
heard Chuck bring this up on his show a week ago,
that if you're a Philadelphia a seventy six er fan.
You don't care about what Joel Embiid does in November.
You care about what he does in June and late May.
You're trying to run a title and if he's got
to sit out and save whatever gas he's got left
in the tank for a finals run, then fine, so
(08:20):
be it. But they try to pull the wool over
your eyes and they try to act like everything's fine,
and hey, we're still gonna charge you six hundred times
more for this ticket, you know, Versus when the I
don't know, give me a crappy team in the NBA Hornets,
when the Hornets come to town and we're gonna act
like everything's honky Dori. I mean, I think people are
tired of it. Fans are tired of it. Media is
tired of it, and people are tired of people opening
(08:42):
up their mouths and ripping people off and saying stupid
crap without any kind of repercussion whatsoever. So I hope
that this idiot from the Philadelphia Choir gets suspended. I
know he apologized already to Joel Embiid like during this
little altercation they had, but it's just funny how we've
got not funny haha, but funny kind of you know,
(09:03):
interesting crazy how we got these two stories in like
the same seven day period where one guy has to
defend his brother and the other guy's got to defend
his family.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
And I just don't think people should.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Have to do that without being asked to at least
be allowed to be humans when they do it.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
The really stupid part for the guy filming Jason kelce
is that the insult didn't make any sense first off,
but secondly, he's holding I'm not sure if you saw
the video. So this kid, he's I don't know, he's
twenty years old, right, he's holding up his phone in
selfie mode, filming himself insulting Jason kelce like as Kelsey
walks down the street. So he's clearly it's clearly a
(09:42):
kid who's trying to egg him on. Right, So like, listen,
I'm not saying physical violence is good or anything, but
like if I was Jason kelcey, it's real hard not
to do anything more than slam his.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Cell phoot on the ground. Well, listen, he's filming you.
All of us have been twenty years old, right, you
were twenty. Like last week, all of us have been twenty.
We've all said stupid stuff and done stupid stuff. I
told you guys about the Jeff Nelson story. Have I
ever told you about that? I've told the story. It's
not a big deal. But and then I ended up
doing a show with the guy. He's one of my
best friends.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
By the way. I'm at a baseball game.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
This must have been early nineties, right, and now he's
playing for the Mariners, and I'm sitting down the third
base line and he's walking out of the bullpen when
the bullpen used to be like right there on the
feet in the corner by the third base line, and
he's walking back to the dugout and I was in
like the fourth row, and Jeff had been having a
rough year, and I stood up and just said, eh,
(10:37):
you and suck.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And it's a Mariner game, so there's like seven people
of that. So the entire stadium here, everybody heard it.
And he turns around and just stares me down.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
This.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I swear to God, this happened. And he claims he
remembers it. He claims he remembers it.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Did he pick you know? He he met you?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Did he realize it was you, well, I told him
it was me because I felt like a schmuck. And
you know, I mean whatever, I was like sixteen years old,
but he stee literally stops and baseball players and basketball players,
football whatever. You go to a game and you hear
people hurling insults at players, how often do players.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Actually acknowledge them? Hardly?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Ever, there was a great video of a Brave's outfielder
last year and that there's these fans and they got
a group of a dozen of them to all have
like they wrote down insults, but the insults are really
they're like fun insults. They're like your dog doesn't sleep
with you at night, or like your wife doesn't actually
like hanging out with you, and those are fun insults.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It's like, it's the other ones that go a little
bit short.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But the point is I felt like an idiot, right Like,
it literally took me like five seconds.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
To just feel like a schmuck for doing that. So
I get it. You know, we've all done stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But I also think that there's more access to these
people now than ever before social media things like that,
and I don't know, dude, I just I just found
it horrible that Joel Embiid is the one that's got
to wear this. It's gonna cost them a million dollars.
It awful that Jason Kelsey had to go on and
apologize on ESPN to start the broadcast yesterday. Maybe that
(12:06):
was part of what ESPN wanted. Maybe he wanted it.
I have no idea. Maybe Tata wanted it. I had
no clue whose command that was. But this is this
is something that's gonna keep getting worse because people.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Are becoming more and more brazen as the days go by.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Don't you think he wants more social media?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Not just on social media but in person.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I've had I've had people say things about my family
on Twitter before.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I mean, have you had people take shots into your family?
Had people take shots that I had? I had a
woman when my dad died, and this is a couple
of years ago. Who uh.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know if it was actually a woman or not,
but it was somebody who was posing as a woman
on social media who said my dad died of cancer
because I was mean to Russell Wilson. Somebody tweeted me that,
So I send this picture out of me and my
dad when my dad passed away at a Sounders game,
and like that afternoon, this woman writes me and says,
he died because you were critical of This is God
(13:03):
punishing you.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I'm just paraphrasing the area.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
God punishing you for being critical of Russell Wilson, and
that's why your dad's dead. Like, who what kind of
person says something like that? That's why, Look, I try,
you try, We all try. When you're on the air
and you're saying fifty thousand words a day for five
days a week, right, sometimes you slip up.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Well, you're also going to say things that will people.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You'll try to not keep anything personal ever, ever, ever, ever,
and sometimes you'll make a mistake and if you feel
like apologizing for it, you'll apologize for it. But I
just I close my eyes and I just wonder where
do these people come from, what do they do, what
happened to them and their life that gets them to
(13:47):
go online and say something like your dad died because
you were critical of Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I mean, what the hell kind of world man? Are
we living?
Speaker 6 (13:55):
It?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That's why I always say social media worst part of
my job.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Hate it. It's necessary evil. We have to do it.
We need it for a lot of reasons. By the
way marketing news news breaks on Twitter, you guys know
that clients love it. They love the outreach, they love
the exposure, whatever. But it's the number one part of
our gig here. I can't speak for these two, but
it's the number one part of my job that I'd
love to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, yeah, and I the only way I've been able
to get rid of it quote unquote is to just
I read the comments to my posts maybe ten percent
as much as I used to.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And so it's and it is done.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Wonders for my blood pressure, it has done wonders for
battles with fans on Twitter. It's not like I never
get into them at all. You know, I had one
earlier today that I was just like, I just try
to handle it by like, just just be classy, man,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Just please be classic, That's all I am. But it's hard.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And this is where it comes back to Kelsey and
Joel embiid that, Hey, it's one thing to say, let's
take the high road, let's talk it out right, let's
explore our feelings, which I think all of us love
to do. But everybody's got that point they get to
where enough is enough. So you know, I don't know, man,
It's just it's crazy how this stuff happened twice in
one week.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
All right, what we got today? It's a short show.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Husky Hawks are here at four o'clock, Greg Lewis, Mario Bailey,
how about the Husky's breaking? Miller Moss, he's done, he's
been benched. And you know what, I gotta be honest
with you the man. I kind of blame his head coach,
to be honest with you, Lincoln Riley, I was.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Going to ask.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I was at the press conference today with Belichick and Carrol,
and then they brought in Ephesians, Price Sock, Camori House
and Carson Bruner, which was like a Costacos poster seeking
all three of those guns sitting together. And I wanted
to ask him, and I wanted to ask Steve. I
just didn't get to it. Hey, were you guys surprised
that we didn't see more of what he marks in
this game on Saturday? Because if I'm Lincoln Riley, after
(15:44):
watching that guy run like Millan comes on Friday and
says he's the best back. Yes, this side of Ashton
genty and I did hadn't seen enough of him to
know that.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And dude, he's right.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That guy is a mother And if he had run
him thirty times in that game in the first half,
they would have won that game.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Shot.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The first thirty nine plays of the game, thirty were passes.
That's the first thirty nine plays of the game. And
you know how much.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm trying to tell you the team should run the ball.
But I left.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Not one ounce of me left that game saying well,
Miller Moss cost him the game, right, Not one ounce
of me thought that. And Miller Moss's QBR this year
is seventy four. That's a QBR out of one hundred,
not a quarterback rating.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
That is very very good. And they showed even on
when I went back and watched the game the next day.
They showed how Miller Moss compared to the Matt Lioners,
the Carson Palmers whom I'm missing. There there was one other,
you know, big time USC quarterback and both of them,
and he compared favorably in his first I don't see
(16:49):
how many starts he's got, but he compared favorably in
his first, however, many starts that he has made to
all of those guys, and much better than Carson Palmer saw.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I don't get the benching at all. Yeah, well it's
Lincoln Riley panicking.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
They're they owned ninety million dollars there four and five.
They gotta win a game to go to a bowl game.
So I don't know, it's it's it's just nuts how
there's all that chaos down there in LA and part
of it is due to the Huskies just completely busting
that offense up.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
And Carson Brunner Man, I talked to him today.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
He's got twelve quarters left the football in his college
football career at minimum. You know, obviously wants the bowl
game and you will see what happens there. But he
was an absolute beast in that game on Saturday, and
they're gonna need him to play that way this weekend
against Penn State because that's the kind of football that
Penn State is gonna want to play. They're gonna want
(17:37):
to get into a pham booth and smack you around.
And this this tight end they have, this is it.
Tyson Allen or Tyler Allen whatever his name is, Number
forty four, go back and watch that guy, Tyler Warren.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Thank you. He's gonna be a problem for Washington.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He's gonna be get every problem for Washington on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
So they're gonna win this game.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
They're gonna need more, more than what they got from
car Brunner and more from guys like him.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
All Right, we're gonna break. It's Tuesday, It's Factor Fiction.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Dick Day coming up at three thirty five, The Fun
with Audio at three forty five, the Husky Hawks at four,
John Wilner at five, and then Kracking Can we please
score a goal?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Coming up?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Pregame five thirty, face off at six from Colorado. Right
here on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Live from the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick on your home for
the Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point
three KJR fact.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't think we can bring that to the air,
But to tell you what we can bring to the air,
Jackson and I were talking about now, like there's not
a lot going on right now. We've got the Huskies,
Penn State, Saturday trade deadline today in the NFL, and
Jackson and I were discussing the worst way.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
To die off the year today before the program.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Because there was a thirty four year old soccer player
that was killed doing during a lightning strike in a
soccer match in Peru.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Literally just blew the guy up on the pick.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
There's there's a picture that it's the worst.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I mean, it's like, imagine playing a game, all of
a sudden boom lightning your doll.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's not the worst way, right, he doesn't suffer at all? Well, yeah,
that I could see.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Suffering would be way worse than a lightning.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Well, I know my worst way to die. And I
was looking for a screen shot. I took a screenshot
of this. Did you hear about the gal that fell
in the crevass looking for her cell phone?
Speaker 7 (19:24):
Seven hours thing?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
But this is you have like like let's say you're
in the desert or you're walking, you know whatever, rocky
terrain and you drop something into a crevass.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
And you reach for it and you fall it head
first and you can't move. That would be really bad. Lightning.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
That is my absolute worst night. Pecked at by birds.
They're going after your feet.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
You can't move.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The blood is rushing to your head, you pass Actually,
you'd pass up, so you'd pass out pretty eventually.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, the bloods at your head, you pass out. I
don't know about it quickly. But this guy getting blown
up by a lightning striking Peru. Man, that's pretty damn
What was the.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Movie the guy that cut his arm off because he
was twenty.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Seven hours James, Yeah, that's the movie. That's good. Anyway, NFL.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Today, were we disappointed about the dk Metcalf news.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Was anybody here hoping for a deal for.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Dk Metcalf and Adam Schefter actually to come out and
report that there's no trade for dk Metcalf?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
No, I mean, I just thought it was like so
outlandish in the first place that the Hawks wouldn't even
unless they were absolutely blown away with just the most ridiculous,
you know, four first round draft picks offer.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I just don't think they would have even approached it. Yeah, yeah,
I agree.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
I think if if they had gotten like a first
round and a second round pick or two first round picks,
that I would have thought, because I listen, I said
this yesterday. I think with you guys, are with Ian.
I think the playoffs are now in the rearview mirror
for us you do. Yeah, so, so just looking at
the schedule, so you know, he's just so based on
(20:59):
that's the point. Then just cancel the rest.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Of the season.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
If you could get something for a Tyler Lockett or
a lot for a DK or a Leonard Williams, maybe
I'm not sure how that would look, but like, you know,
this team needs to upgrade on the offensive line, and
you don't make that move right now.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
You make that move in the offseason. So how do
we do that?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You just brought Tyler Lockett, and my first instinct was
Tyler Lockett's not worth his table.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
But then but then, wait a second.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
We just saw Jonathan Ringo Mingo traded for a fourth
round PRAVE pick and Tyler Lockett's got a resume.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Thousand second him. Jonathan Ringo Mingo.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Does kind of feel like Tyler Lockett's been kind of
ey wall this year.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, right, this week was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I mean, we all love Tyler Lockett and the guy's
going to be in the Ring of Honor, no question.
He's like, I mean, stats wise, he's the second best
receiver in Sewis track, right, but he's thirty two years old.
He's caught thirty four balls in nine games. I mean,
the guy actually may end up having a one thousand
yards season. He's already at five hundred yards, but he's
only got a couple of touchdowns. It just kind of
(22:05):
feels like he's been kind of med this year. And
I'm not blaming him. I mean, maybe it's just because
of Jackson Smith and Jigman DK getting the.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Ball, and you know, I have no idea why, but
I was.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I was very happy to not see DK Metcalf get
traded because I've seen what this offense looks like without
him for two weeks and I don't like it. I
don't like what this offense looks like without number fourteen.
At number fourteen does a lot of stuff. And maybe
this is the Humil one and me talking, and if
it is, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Okay,
I can't understand myself. But if DK Metcalf is not
(22:37):
just a guy that shows up in the box score, right,
he sucks defenders away from people, He changes the way
teams play defense. He's able to do things that do
not show up in the box score that people don't
talk about and I think you're partially seeing that. I mean,
it's certainly possible that all this stuff would have happened
in the last two weeks even with DK, because we've
seen them play bad games offensively with DK Metcalf now
(22:59):
they lost six out of seven last year or two
years ago. Sorry with DK metcfa wide receiver, but I
don't like what this offense looks like.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Dick with that fortune, I'm wondering.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm wondering without d k in they're and not have
to ask you when he comes on Thursday, when you're flying,
you're flying your.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Way to Happy Valley.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
If DK would have allowed JSN and Tyler Lockett to
run shorter routes the last couple of weeks, because it
is clear the Seahawks offense needs shorter routes. They have
got to hit guys between five and ten yards to
protect Geno Smith.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Fiction Pick I gotta go, let Mario in the front
of him. Okay, got you, Jackson.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The Detroit Lions have won six consecutive games. Have over
the last two games, they they gained two hundred and
sixty one yards and two hundred and twenty five yards
of total offense, yet still won the game. They are
the first team in the NFL to win and cover
with two hundred and seventy yards or less than two
(24:25):
straight weeks. In the last twenty five years. The Houston
Texans have not lost a home game this year. They
are getting likely Nico Collins back. He has been pulled
off the injured reserve. He has served his four weeks,
but they opened his practice window. Do we know he's
actually know for sure? We don't know for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
But if he does play, that's going to impact the line.
We're getting it before the line slides back. We're talking Texans,
then we're talking to Texans. I'm the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
You're back.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You let Mario waya the Texans three and a half
point dogs against the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Where's the game? The game is in Houston. Oh okay,
all right, the game is in Hueston, Detroit. No way,
no way, yeah, no way. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well they're they're they're due to drop one, they're due
for a third. Everybody's I mean that people are riding
high on them. They're the cock of the walk. And
there's a couple of Lion fans last night at the
m rack Queen that were just over the moon for
these guys. Maybe they're just that focused in where it
doesn't matter, But I like it.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I like the pick, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I just think when you look at the schedule for
the Detroit Lions and you just go down the wins losses,
they've been winning the ones they're supposed to win, but
when you get to at Houston, that's probably one they
should lose. And we don't even have to win this one,
straight up, we don't even have to cover by a
field goal. It's a three point five points. Gimme Houston
plus three and a half at one against the Lions.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Houston plus the three and a half is the selection
you like in fact you hate it fiction? The four
nine four five one, all brought to you by our
friends at the Real Quick at seeing It just a
few weeks left right Jackson in the contest every day

Speaker 2 (26:19):
A couple more nuggets on this one lions second of
a back to back road game Texans Long Week they
played on Thursday.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
If Nico Collins is healthy, Dick, I like the pick.
If he's not, I don't like the right.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I don't see how Nico Collins would swing.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
It for you though, because I think Nico Collins he
was the number one receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
He was healthy.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
He's not the point or way well nobody's just for.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
The record, I'm with you and he's not. So just
remember that, okay, Remember.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
That when you given it, you give it out Christmas
gifts at the end of the year. You remember who
supported you on election day with your Texans pick and
who didn't. We're gonna break Mario Bailey, Greg Lewis, Husky
Hawks at four. A little fun with audio coming up
next on ninety three three kJ RFF.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
It's now time for softy and digs. Fun with audio.
Jimmy g porn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio. So I lost my show sheet.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You gave me Jackson, which probably means it's at my desk,
and so I asked Dick for his and he gives
me his, and I'm wondering, why has.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It been showed up? Did you did you put this
in your mouth?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
No, this water bottle is on top of it, and
the water bottle leaked.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
Those are that's that looks like bite marks.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And by mars.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But then you pulled it from under the water bottle.
It looks like you got bit. What did I say
at the start of the show, I'm freaky.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Something's going on there. I'm a creepy You.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Find a piece of paper in the river to Knights?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
All right? A little fun with audio slash. Hey did
you hear that before the Husky Hawks at four. Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Dave?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Let's start with number two because we just got done
talking about this in the first segment. Sixers center Joel
Embiid made headlines last week when he launched into a
profanity filed rant directed at Philadelphia and Choir calumnist Marcus
Hayes and other media members who have been critical of
Embiid sitting out of games with a knee injury that
the Sixers did not disclose earlier.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I boke in my face.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Wise, I came back early with the risk of losing
my vision, have boken fingers, I still came back. So
I'm not gonna see her and be like you know
when I you know, to see people saying doesn't want
to play.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I've been way too much.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I've done way too much, you know, for this city
and you know, putting myself at risk, you know, for
people to be saying. So I do think it's both
like that. Do he's not here, Marcus whatever his name is.
I've done way too much for this city to be
(28:59):
treated like this. So don't wait wait much. But like
I said, I wish I was lucky. But that doesn't
mean that I'm not trying to do whatever he takes
the out there, which.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm gonna be God, I gotta be honest with you, man.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Part of this is just making me just longing for
the NBA to return.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You don't get this with other sports.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Regulus drawn belootball, Why the soap opera, the weekly soap opera,
the well Because these guys, these guys are megastars. The
NBA superstars are bigger. I mean, they're at least as
big as the NFL superstars and way bigger than.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Baseball stars are.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
And they're always out there talking right, They're always out
there on social media, and there's very few now there's
more now like Micah Parsons and stuff like that. But
these NBA guys, they've been doing it for years what
the NFL guys are now starting to do because they
realize it makes your game bigger.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
So this was not in the clip we heard there,
but there's a quote that Kyle Newbeck of Philly's Sports
was there and heard this whole altercation with Joel Embiid
and Marcus Hayes, and he claims that Joel Embiid said
the next time you bring up my dead brother and
my son, You're going to see what I'm going to
(30:15):
do to you, and I'm going to have to live
with the consequences. Oh, says Joel Embid test at this
guy really pissed. And by the way, Dick's comment about
NBA guys being stars, you know what the average NBA
salary is right now?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
God guess Jackson Guests Three's eleven.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Million dollars, which is way more than any other sport,
not even close. Like just some average schmuck is making
eleven million bucks in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear? What's that all right?
In an interview.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Speaking of the NBA with the Athletics Doug Haller last week,
Kevin Durant called ESPN Steven A. Smith a clown and said, quote,
He's always been a clown. Then yesterday on First Take,
Steve responded by saying I will not disrespect him the
same way he disrespects me. However, However, hours later, Stephen A.
(31:10):
Smith had this to say about Kevin Durant on this podcast.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
I'm a clown.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
That why your team called me to be a part
of your documentary?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
That's why y'all called me because I was a.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Clown your company, you run the show.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
How come y'all called me when you had.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
The boardroom and you were sitting down to interview people
one on one?
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Didn't you call me to do that interview?
Speaker 9 (31:29):
By the way, did you show up on first day
sitting right across from me a clown?
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Kevin Durant? Can anybody talk about you? I just need
to know. I just need clarity.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
After departing from Oklahoma City, sitting across from me, you
said you wanted to play a better brand of basketball. Well,
then what was the excuse for leaving to go to Brooklyn?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Which might be one of.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
The worst business moves that we have seen from a
basketball superstar in a modern day era.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I ask you a question about Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You know how I feel about Kevin Durant was a
one year he spent here in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I love the guy.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, I know a lot of folks disagree, but I
love the guy. Would you say that Kevin Durant is
one of the top fifty players all time in the
history of the NBA? Okay, and I would agree with that.
Why has he played for four different teams. Is that
just the name of the game now in the NBA?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I think it's more, yes, But I think it's also
more Durant. I don't think he's ever felt happy any place.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
And Kevin Durant teams.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Kevin Durant and Aaron Rodgers are the two most sensipooh
superstars we have seen in the last twenty years in sports.
Kevin Durant cannot get past somebody ripping on him, like
he has to reach out with one of his eight
burner accounts and get back at the guy. And it's
just I just don't understand why he couldn't just leave
(32:54):
it all alone. Man, he'd be so well liked, and
instead he's really disliked a majority of NBA fans.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
We just got done talking about how Joel Embiid snapped
at this guy.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
This is not like the Kevin Durant story.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
If somebody went after Durant's family and his you know,
deceased relatives like this schmuck did from Philadelphia, I could
see it. But this is a guy that just can't
handle just fair criticism of his game and he loses
his mind. All right, Let's get one more before we
get to the Husky Hawks. Hey Dick, did you happen.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
To hear that Dick yesterday at ESPN?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Here we go again at the start of Monday Night
Countdown before Bucks and Chiefs. Jason Kelcey begins the broadcast
by apologizing for a recent video that showed him slamming
someone's cell phone to the ground after they used a
homophobic slur directed at his brother Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
And we will get to all of that, But Jason,
I know you've got some stuff on your mind, and
I want to give you the floor to say which
is on your mind.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
Yeah, you know, listen, I think everybody's seen on social
media everything that took place this week. I'm not happy
with anything that took place. I'm not proud of it.
And you know, in a heated moment, I chose to
greet hate with hate, and I just don't think that
that's a productive thing. I really don't. I don't think that,
uh you know, it leads to discourse and it's the
(34:14):
right way to go about things. In that moment, I
fell down to the level that I shouldn't have. So
I think the bottom line is I try to live
my life by the Golden rule. That's what I've always
been taught. I try to treat people with common decency
and respect, and I'm going to keep doing that moving forward. Yeah,
I think we got a game to focus on.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I appreciate the message, I really do, but I also
believe that he had nothing to apologize for in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
So well, now it's being investigated, and the crime log,
according to the New York Post, listed the possible offenses
as criminal mischief and disorderly conduct on whose.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Part I'm Jason Kelsey. Wow, that's too bad. Really is
too bad, because, like I said, I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
He's not going to get charged, but yeah, I mean,
just to even investigate it his ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Totally warranted for me. All Right, we're gonna break. Greg
lewis smart than these guys. These guys ready for Penn State,
bringing their game faces. Mario is ready for an Arctic expertise.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
He's got the bumpy coat on.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Good lord, you bring the sled dogs today to Mario
and Greg.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Husky Hawks are next
We go short one before the Avalanche and crack And
coming up pregame five thirty. Hopefully the crack And can
score a goal tonight. They've been out scored nine to
one in their last three games after hammering Montreal last week.
They really just blew their water. I guess, man, they
dropped a hammer. What you can't say that, I didn't
say that. What depends on what you think it means.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I think Petros has said it about a dozen times.
You see, this is why you think he's living a
secret double life. Something's going on him. Yes, yes, you
because you're sitting here and you're playing the piano with
Church on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You're you know, you have this image of this. You know,
really some guy. There's something going on there in Normandy Park.
You ever wonder why he lives so far off the
road by the way to his.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
House long dark drive Jackson dark driveway, Jackson driveway, So
who knows where?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
And what's going to keep our lights off?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's right, that nobody comes.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
The weird stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
There's even a creak behind it is you never know
what's back. That's what I'm talking about that I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Starting to get freaked out. So did you hear about
this Joel Embiid thing? By the way, with the I'm
not gonna says guy.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I knew about the shoving, right, I did not know
what prog did the shoving.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So I don't know all the details because I have
not read the column. But you remember how pissed off
we got when Jamal Adams went after the guy's wife
on social media.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
This is the reverse of that.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
This is a columnist who was basically writing a story
in general terms about Joel Embiid and his lack of availability.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
He's been banged up so far this year.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And this guy, apparently and I'm paraphrasing here and if
I'm getting anything wrong, just please jump in, was apparently
questioning like the guy's desire to play basketball a lot
of people are doing right. And in his column he
brought up his family like apparently.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Did he lose a son?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Did Joel Embiid lose a child? I think he may have,
but he brought up like his brother. He brought up
his kid, and Joel Embiid saw this guy and just
went after him. Here it is he took issue with
a recent column by Philadelphia Inquired columnist Marcus Hayes. In it,
Hayes mentioned Embiid's son and late brother sorry, both named Arthur,
(02:17):
while questioning Embiid's professionalism and effort to stay in shape.
And I just have a general rule, dude, in this
forum that we play in here, this sandbox that we're playing,
shut the hell.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Up about the family.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay, keep the kids, keep the moms, keep the wife,
keep the brothers, keep the sisters. So I don't have
any problem with Joel Embiid shoving this guy. He should
have beat his ass is what he should have done.
And the fact that he's got to take a three
game suspension for this. Look, I get that the NBA
has got to be above it all. They got to
put on a great face. Like Jason Kelcey last night
(02:48):
right on TV comes out. You guys heard about that.
So he's at the Penn Stake game correct this last weekend,
and somebody walks up to Jason Kelcey and says, hey,
how about your f ford brother Dayton Taylor Swift, And
he took his phone and smashed it to the ground.
Jason Kelsey should have kicked his ass too, for saying
(03:10):
that but he had to go on.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
The year and apologize. So this guy's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
On the year and apologize on ESPN for that, and
Joel Embiid's going to take a three game suspension for
shoven This clown who mentioned his late brother and his
son in a column.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think it's a pathetic. I'm sorry. We live in
a world, guys, where too many people are running their
freaking mouths without any consequences whatsoever. No, I agree.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I just think that the public figures like that have
to hold themselves to a higher standard. You know, it's
not you know people too, Dick. I know it's not.
But it's not Joe from Allentown, PA that's smashing the
dude's phone. It's Jason Kelsey, you know. And so therefore, yes,
he had to come out and apologize. I'm sure, on
(03:54):
behalf of his employer, he had to come out and apologize.
But you just can't bring phil a cality into it.
I don't care what you're called. I don't care what
your son's call, I don't care what your wife's called.
And you just, especially if you're a public figure, you just.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Can't do it.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Look, I understand why you would say that, And the
biggest reason why you would say that is because you're
way more mature than I would. Okay, that's that's that's
that's the number one reason said.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I dump people in creeks.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, yeah, but you keep that pride. You're you're just
way more mature than me. Maybe I'm just a hot head.
Maybe I got a short fuse, but I I just disagree.
I think that there is a time and a place
for somebody getting cracked over the head is warranted. And
with these two bozos did to me, Jackson, I'm sorry,
warrants it.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
That's fine, and and that's fine if you believe that
everybody is entitled to their beliefs and everything else. I
am one hundred percent on Dick's side here, and I
agree physicality is off the table. But if you're a
public figure even then, like there's a way that I
think you can respond to it. If you're just if
you are Joe from Allentown, Pennsylvania. But if you are
(05:01):
a public figure, you even have to take a moment
to respond to figure out what is the right way
to respond about I think I think if if it's
if it's me, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I'm not a public figure.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
If it's me and that I'm Jason Kelsey, then and
then I am swearing the dude out right in his face.
And I'm probably not going physical because that's just not
who I am. But if you are a public you
can't even swear out the person in their face. You
have to just act even cooler. And that's the part
that works me. Everybody should be entitled to say words back,
even if you're Jason Kelcey, you should be able to
(05:31):
do that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I mean, I just I just think.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
There's a difference between understanding why you would react that
way and agreeing.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That that's the best way to handle it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And if somebody Jackson, if somebody said something about rise
to your face.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And you went and you went and slugged.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Them, I wouldn't and which I wouldn't do.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I would say, you know, I would think, you know what,
I don't blame Jackson for doing that. I don't judge
Jackson doing that, but I don't think that was the
right way for Jackson to handle it. I would just
say a lot of words.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
And I mean, it's the same time if I was
a public figure of Jason Kelsey statue, you can't even
say those words.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I just think I just think everybody has their breaking point.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know, look, I get it in general terms. I'm
with you.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
You want to be the bigger person, you want to
take the high road whatever. I think there's only so
much people can take though, by the way, okay, because
everybody has their busting point. And for Joel Embiid, who
probably has been taking heat for this for months from
or years actually right, he's.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Been taking crap from people for years.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yes, he plays in Philadelphia, where the media can be
a ballbuster. We all understand that you got to be
a certain kind of tough to handle media in Philadelphia, New.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
York, Dallas, places like that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And then for Jason Kelsey, I'm certain he's walking around
taking heat from people too because of his brother and
how much his network is showing his future sister in
law on TV.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So everybody has their breaking point.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And I just think that again, you want me to
walk away, you want Jason Kelce to walk away, You
want Joel embi to walk away, that's fine. Then guarantee
me there's gonna be some repercussion for the dipstick that
opened up his pie hole or brings this guy's dead
brother up in a column.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah. I don't know if there will be.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You know, Joel Embiid has has put himself and I
think the Sixers have helped put him in a very
bad light.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And the bad light is he plays, yes, because he played.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
All summer for Team USA and was fine, right, right,
And there has been what's his injury? By the way,
there has been no knee injury. Yeah, but there's been
no official designation by the Sixers that Joel mbia has hurt.
This could have if they wanted to rest Joel Embiid
and they only wanted to play him fifty games this year,
which I think is really smart for him to do.
All they would have had to say is Joel Embiid
(07:44):
hurt his knee in training camp.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Why aren't for two months? Why? I don't know. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But that's why he's getting heat because he played for
Team USA and it looks like he doesn't think the
NBA regular season important, which you know, it's a lot
of people agree.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I mean, look, if you're a Sixer fan, and I
heard Chuck bring this up on his show a week ago,
that if you're a Philadelphia a seventy six er fan.
You don't care about what Joel Embiid does in November.
You care about what he does in June and late May.
You're trying to run a title and if he's got
to sit out and save whatever gas he's got left
in the tank for a finals run, then fine, so
(08:20):
be it. But they try to pull the wool over
your eyes and they try to act like everything's fine,
and hey, we're still gonna charge you six hundred times
more for this ticket, you know, Versus when the I
don't know, give me a crappy team in the NBA Hornets,
when the Hornets come to town and we're gonna act
like everything's honky Dori. I mean, I think people are
tired of it. Fans are tired of it. Media is
tired of it, and people are tired of people opening
(08:42):
up their mouths and ripping people off and saying stupid
crap without any kind of repercussion whatsoever. So I hope
that this idiot from the Philadelphia Choir gets suspended. I
know he apologized already to Joel Embiid like during this
little altercation they had, but it's just funny how we've
got not funny haha, but funny kind of you know,
(09:03):
interesting crazy how we got these two stories in like
the same seven day period where one guy has to
defend his brother and the other guy's got to defend
his family.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
And I just don't think people should.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Have to do that without being asked to at least
be allowed to be humans when they do it.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
The really stupid part for the guy filming Jason kelce
is that the insult didn't make any sense first off,
but secondly, he's holding I'm not sure if you saw
the video. So this kid, he's I don't know, he's
twenty years old, right, he's holding up his phone in
selfie mode, filming himself insulting Jason kelce like as Kelsey
walks down the street. So he's clearly it's clearly a
(09:42):
kid who's trying to egg him on. Right, So like, listen,
I'm not saying physical violence is good or anything, but
like if I was Jason kelcey, it's real hard not
to do anything more than slam his.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Cell phoot on the ground. Well, listen, he's filming you.
All of us have been twenty years old, right, you
were twenty. Like last week, all of us have been twenty.
We've all said stupid stuff and done stupid stuff. I
told you guys about the Jeff Nelson story. Have I
ever told you about that? I've told the story. It's
not a big deal. But and then I ended up
doing a show with the guy. He's one of my
best friends.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
By the way. I'm at a baseball game.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
This must have been early nineties, right, and now he's
playing for the Mariners, and I'm sitting down the third
base line and he's walking out of the bullpen when
the bullpen used to be like right there on the
feet in the corner by the third base line, and
he's walking back to the dugout and I was in
like the fourth row, and Jeff had been having a
rough year, and I stood up and just said, eh,
(10:37):
you and suck.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And it's a Mariner game, so there's like seven people
of that. So the entire stadium here, everybody heard it.
And he turns around and just stares me down.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
This.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I swear to God, this happened. And he claims he
remembers it. He claims he remembers it.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Did he pick you know? He he met you?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Did he realize it was you, well, I told him
it was me because I felt like a schmuck. And
you know, I mean whatever, I was like sixteen years old,
but he stee literally stops and baseball players and basketball players,
football whatever. You go to a game and you hear
people hurling insults at players, how often do players.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Actually acknowledge them? Hardly?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Ever, there was a great video of a Brave's outfielder
last year and that there's these fans and they got
a group of a dozen of them to all have
like they wrote down insults, but the insults are really
they're like fun insults. They're like your dog doesn't sleep
with you at night, or like your wife doesn't actually
like hanging out with you, and those are fun insults.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It's like, it's the other ones that go a little
bit short.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But the point is I felt like an idiot, right Like,
it literally took me like five seconds.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
To just feel like a schmuck for doing that. So
I get it. You know, we've all done stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But I also think that there's more access to these
people now than ever before social media things like that,
and I don't know, dude, I just I just found
it horrible that Joel Embiid is the one that's got
to wear this. It's gonna cost them a million dollars.
It awful that Jason Kelsey had to go on and
apologize on ESPN to start the broadcast yesterday. Maybe that
(12:06):
was part of what ESPN wanted. Maybe he wanted it.
I have no idea. Maybe Tata wanted it. I had
no clue whose command that was. But this is this
is something that's gonna keep getting worse because people.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Are becoming more and more brazen as the days go by.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Don't you think he wants more social media?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Not just on social media but in person.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I've had I've had people say things about my family
on Twitter before.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I mean, have you had people take shots into your family?
Had people take shots that I had? I had a
woman when my dad died, and this is a couple
of years ago. Who uh.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know if it was actually a woman or not,
but it was somebody who was posing as a woman
on social media who said my dad died of cancer
because I was mean to Russell Wilson. Somebody tweeted me that,
So I send this picture out of me and my
dad when my dad passed away at a Sounders game,
and like that afternoon, this woman writes me and says,
he died because you were critical of This is God
(13:03):
punishing you.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I'm just paraphrasing the area.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
God punishing you for being critical of Russell Wilson, and
that's why your dad's dead. Like, who what kind of
person says something like that? That's why, Look, I try,
you try, We all try. When you're on the air
and you're saying fifty thousand words a day for five
days a week, right, sometimes you slip up.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Well, you're also going to say things that will people.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You'll try to not keep anything personal ever, ever, ever, ever,
and sometimes you'll make a mistake and if you feel
like apologizing for it, you'll apologize for it. But I
just I close my eyes and I just wonder where
do these people come from, what do they do, what
happened to them and their life that gets them to
(13:47):
go online and say something like your dad died because
you were critical of Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I mean, what the hell kind of world man? Are
we living?
Speaker 6 (13:55):
It?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That's why I always say social media worst part of
my job.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Hate it. It's necessary evil. We have to do it.
We need it for a lot of reasons. By the
way marketing news news breaks on Twitter, you guys know
that clients love it. They love the outreach, they love
the exposure, whatever. But it's the number one part of
our gig here. I can't speak for these two, but
it's the number one part of my job that I'd
love to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, yeah, and I the only way I've been able
to get rid of it quote unquote is to just
I read the comments to my posts maybe ten percent
as much as I used to.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And so it's and it is done.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Wonders for my blood pressure, it has done wonders for
battles with fans on Twitter. It's not like I never
get into them at all. You know, I had one
earlier today that I was just like, I just try
to handle it by like, just just be classy, man,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Just please be classic, That's all I am. But it's hard.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And this is where it comes back to Kelsey and
Joel embiid that, Hey, it's one thing to say, let's
take the high road, let's talk it out right, let's
explore our feelings, which I think all of us love
to do. But everybody's got that point they get to
where enough is enough. So you know, I don't know, man,
It's just it's crazy how this stuff happened twice in
one week.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
All right, what we got today? It's a short show.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Husky Hawks are here at four o'clock, Greg Lewis, Mario Bailey,
how about the Husky's breaking? Miller Moss, he's done, he's
been benched. And you know what, I gotta be honest
with you the man. I kind of blame his head coach,
to be honest with you, Lincoln Riley, I was.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Going to ask.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I was at the press conference today with Belichick and Carrol,
and then they brought in Ephesians, Price Sock, Camori House
and Carson Bruner, which was like a Costacos poster seeking
all three of those guns sitting together. And I wanted
to ask him, and I wanted to ask Steve. I
just didn't get to it. Hey, were you guys surprised
that we didn't see more of what he marks in
this game on Saturday? Because if I'm Lincoln Riley, after
(15:44):
watching that guy run like Millan comes on Friday and
says he's the best back. Yes, this side of Ashton
genty and I did hadn't seen enough of him to
know that.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And dude, he's right.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That guy is a mother And if he had run
him thirty times in that game in the first half,
they would have won that game.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Shot.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The first thirty nine plays of the game, thirty were passes.
That's the first thirty nine plays of the game. And
you know how much.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm trying to tell you the team should run the ball.
But I left.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Not one ounce of me left that game saying well,
Miller Moss cost him the game, right, Not one ounce
of me thought that. And Miller Moss's QBR this year
is seventy four. That's a QBR out of one hundred,
not a quarterback rating.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
That is very very good. And they showed even on
when I went back and watched the game the next day.
They showed how Miller Moss compared to the Matt Lioners,
the Carson Palmers whom I'm missing. There there was one other,
you know, big time USC quarterback and both of them,
and he compared favorably in his first I don't see
(16:49):
how many starts he's got, but he compared favorably in
his first, however, many starts that he has made to
all of those guys, and much better than Carson Palmer saw.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I don't get the benching at all. Yeah, well it's
Lincoln Riley panicking.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
They're they owned ninety million dollars there four and five.
They gotta win a game to go to a bowl game.
So I don't know, it's it's it's just nuts how
there's all that chaos down there in LA and part
of it is due to the Huskies just completely busting
that offense up.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
And Carson Brunner Man, I talked to him today.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
He's got twelve quarters left the football in his college
football career at minimum. You know, obviously wants the bowl
game and you will see what happens there. But he
was an absolute beast in that game on Saturday, and
they're gonna need him to play that way this weekend
against Penn State because that's the kind of football that
Penn State is gonna want to play. They're gonna want
(17:37):
to get into a pham booth and smack you around.
And this this tight end they have, this is it.
Tyson Allen or Tyler Allen whatever his name is, Number
forty four, go back and watch that guy, Tyler Warren.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Thank you. He's gonna be a problem for Washington.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He's gonna be get every problem for Washington on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
So they're gonna win this game.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
They're gonna need more, more than what they got from
car Brunner and more from guys like him.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
All Right, we're gonna break. It's Tuesday, It's Factor Fiction.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Dick Day coming up at three thirty five, The Fun
with Audio at three forty five, the Husky Hawks at four,
John Wilner at five, and then Kracking Can we please
score a goal?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Coming up?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Pregame five thirty, face off at six from Colorado. Right
here on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Live from the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick on your home for
the Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point
three KJR fact.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't think we can bring that to the air,
But to tell you what we can bring to the air,
Jackson and I were talking about now, like there's not
a lot going on right now. We've got the Huskies,
Penn State, Saturday trade deadline today in the NFL, and
Jackson and I were discussing the worst way.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
To die off the year today before the program.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Because there was a thirty four year old soccer player
that was killed doing during a lightning strike in a
soccer match in Peru.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Literally just blew the guy up on the pick.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
There's there's a picture that it's the worst.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I mean, it's like, imagine playing a game, all of
a sudden boom lightning your doll.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's not the worst way, right, he doesn't suffer at all? Well, yeah,
that I could see.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Suffering would be way worse than a lightning.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Well, I know my worst way to die. And I
was looking for a screen shot. I took a screenshot
of this. Did you hear about the gal that fell
in the crevass looking for her cell phone?
Speaker 7 (19:24):
Seven hours thing?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
But this is you have like like let's say you're
in the desert or you're walking, you know whatever, rocky
terrain and you drop something into a crevass.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
And you reach for it and you fall it head
first and you can't move. That would be really bad. Lightning.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
That is my absolute worst night. Pecked at by birds.
They're going after your feet.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
You can't move.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The blood is rushing to your head, you pass Actually,
you'd pass up, so you'd pass out pretty eventually.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, the bloods at your head, you pass out. I
don't know about it quickly. But this guy getting blown
up by a lightning striking Peru. Man, that's pretty damn
What was the.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Movie the guy that cut his arm off because he
was twenty.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Seven hours James, Yeah, that's the movie. That's good. Anyway, NFL.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Today, were we disappointed about the dk Metcalf news.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Was anybody here hoping for a deal for.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Dk Metcalf and Adam Schefter actually to come out and
report that there's no trade for dk Metcalf?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
No, I mean, I just thought it was like so
outlandish in the first place that the Hawks wouldn't even
unless they were absolutely blown away with just the most ridiculous,
you know, four first round draft picks offer.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I just don't think they would have even approached it. Yeah, yeah,
I agree.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
I think if if they had gotten like a first
round and a second round pick or two first round picks,
that I would have thought, because I listen, I said
this yesterday. I think with you guys, are with Ian.
I think the playoffs are now in the rearview mirror
for us you do. Yeah, so, so just looking at
the schedule, so you know, he's just so based on
(20:59):
that's the point. Then just cancel the rest.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Of the season.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
If you could get something for a Tyler Lockett or
a lot for a DK or a Leonard Williams, maybe
I'm not sure how that would look, but like, you know,
this team needs to upgrade on the offensive line, and
you don't make that move right now.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
You make that move in the offseason. So how do
we do that?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You just brought Tyler Lockett, and my first instinct was
Tyler Lockett's not worth his table.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
But then but then, wait a second.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
We just saw Jonathan Ringo Mingo traded for a fourth
round PRAVE pick and Tyler Lockett's got a resume.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Thousand second him. Jonathan Ringo Mingo.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Does kind of feel like Tyler Lockett's been kind of
ey wall this year.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, right, this week was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I mean, we all love Tyler Lockett and the guy's
going to be in the Ring of Honor, no question.
He's like, I mean, stats wise, he's the second best
receiver in Sewis track, right, but he's thirty two years old.
He's caught thirty four balls in nine games. I mean,
the guy actually may end up having a one thousand
yards season. He's already at five hundred yards, but he's
only got a couple of touchdowns. It just kind of
(22:05):
feels like he's been kind of med this year. And
I'm not blaming him. I mean, maybe it's just because
of Jackson Smith and Jigman DK getting the.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Ball, and you know, I have no idea why, but
I was.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I was very happy to not see DK Metcalf get
traded because I've seen what this offense looks like without
him for two weeks and I don't like it. I
don't like what this offense looks like without number fourteen.
At number fourteen does a lot of stuff. And maybe
this is the Humil one and me talking, and if
it is, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Okay,
I can't understand myself. But if DK Metcalf is not
(22:37):
just a guy that shows up in the box score, right,
he sucks defenders away from people, He changes the way
teams play defense. He's able to do things that do
not show up in the box score that people don't
talk about and I think you're partially seeing that. I mean,
it's certainly possible that all this stuff would have happened
in the last two weeks even with DK, because we've
seen them play bad games offensively with DK Metcalf now
(22:59):
they lost six out of seven last year or two
years ago. Sorry with DK metcfa wide receiver, but I
don't like what this offense looks like.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Dick with that fortune, I'm wondering.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm wondering without d k in they're and not have
to ask you when he comes on Thursday, when you're flying,
you're flying your.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Way to Happy Valley.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
If DK would have allowed JSN and Tyler Lockett to
run shorter routes the last couple of weeks, because it
is clear the Seahawks offense needs shorter routes. They have
got to hit guys between five and ten yards to
protect Geno Smith.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Fiction Pick I gotta go, let Mario in the front
of him. Okay, got you, Jackson.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The Detroit Lions have won six consecutive games. Have over
the last two games, they they gained two hundred and
sixty one yards and two hundred and twenty five yards
of total offense, yet still won the game. They are
the first team in the NFL to win and cover
with two hundred and seventy yards or less than two
(24:25):
straight weeks. In the last twenty five years. The Houston
Texans have not lost a home game this year. They
are getting likely Nico Collins back. He has been pulled
off the injured reserve. He has served his four weeks,
but they opened his practice window. Do we know he's
actually know for sure? We don't know for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
But if he does play, that's going to impact the line.
We're getting it before the line slides back. We're talking Texans,
then we're talking to Texans. I'm the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
You're back.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You let Mario waya the Texans three and a half
point dogs against the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Where's the game? The game is in Houston. Oh okay,
all right, the game is in Hueston, Detroit. No way,
no way, yeah, no way. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well they're they're they're due to drop one, they're due
for a third. Everybody's I mean that people are riding
high on them. They're the cock of the walk. And
there's a couple of Lion fans last night at the
m rack Queen that were just over the moon for
these guys. Maybe they're just that focused in where it
doesn't matter, But I like it.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I like the pick, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I just think when you look at the schedule for
the Detroit Lions and you just go down the wins losses,
they've been winning the ones they're supposed to win, but
when you get to at Houston, that's probably one they
should lose. And we don't even have to win this one,
straight up, we don't even have to cover by a
field goal. It's a three point five points. Gimme Houston
plus three and a half at one against the Lions.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Houston plus the three and a half is the selection
you like in fact you hate it fiction? The four
nine four five one, all brought to you by our

Speaker 6 (26:26):
If Nico Collins is healthy, Dick, I like the pick.
If he's not, I don't like the right.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I don't see how Nico Collins would swing.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
It for you though, because I think Nico Collins he
was the number one receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
He was healthy.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
He's not the point or way well nobody's just for.
Speaker 3 (26:42):

remember that, okay, Remember.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
It's now time for softy and digs. Fun with audio.
Jimmy g porn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio. So I lost my show sheet.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You gave me Jackson, which probably means it's at my desk,
and so I asked Dick for his and he gives
me his, and I'm wondering, why has.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It been showed up? Did you did you put this
in your mouth?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
No, this water bottle is on top of it, and
the water bottle leaked.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
Those are that's that looks like bite marks.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And by mars.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But then you pulled it from under the water bottle.
It looks like you got bit. What did I say
at the start of the show, I'm freaky.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Something's going on there. I'm a creepy You.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Find a piece of paper in the river to Knights?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
All right? A little fun with audio slash. Hey did
you hear that before the Husky Hawks at four. Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Dave?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Let's start with number two because we just got done
talking about this in the first segment. Sixers center Joel
Embiid made headlines last week when he launched into a
profanity filed rant directed at Philadelphia and Choir calumnist Marcus
Hayes and other media members who have been critical of
Embiid sitting out of games with a knee injury that
the Sixers did not disclose earlier.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I boke in my face.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Wise, I came back early with the risk of losing
my vision, have boken fingers, I still came back. So
I'm not gonna see her and be like you know
when I you know, to see people saying doesn't want
to play.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I've been way too much.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I've done way too much, you know, for this city
and you know, putting myself at risk, you know, for
people to be saying. So I do think it's both
like that. Do he's not here, Marcus whatever his name is.
I've done way too much for this city to be
(28:59):
treated like this. So don't wait wait much. But like
I said, I wish I was lucky. But that doesn't
mean that I'm not trying to do whatever he takes
the out there, which.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm gonna be God, I gotta be honest with you, man.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Part of this is just making me just longing for
the NBA to return.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You don't get this with other sports.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Regulus drawn belootball, Why the soap opera, the weekly soap opera,
the well Because these guys, these guys are megastars. The
NBA superstars are bigger. I mean, they're at least as
big as the NFL superstars and way bigger than.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Baseball stars are.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
And they're always out there talking right, They're always out
there on social media, and there's very few now there's
more now like Micah Parsons and stuff like that. But
these NBA guys, they've been doing it for years what
the NFL guys are now starting to do because they
realize it makes your game bigger.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
So this was not in the clip we heard there,
but there's a quote that Kyle Newbeck of Philly's Sports
was there and heard this whole altercation with Joel Embiid
and Marcus Hayes, and he claims that Joel Embiid said
the next time you bring up my dead brother and
my son, You're going to see what I'm going to
(30:15):
do to you, and I'm going to have to live
with the consequences. Oh, says Joel Embid test at this
guy really pissed. And by the way, Dick's comment about
NBA guys being stars, you know what the average NBA
salary is right now?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
God guess Jackson Guests Three's eleven.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Million dollars, which is way more than any other sport,
not even close. Like just some average schmuck is making
eleven million bucks in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear? What's that all right?
In an interview.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Speaking of the NBA with the Athletics Doug Haller last week,
Kevin Durant called ESPN Steven A. Smith a clown and said, quote,
He's always been a clown. Then yesterday on First Take,
Steve responded by saying I will not disrespect him the
same way he disrespects me. However, However, hours later, Stephen A.
(31:10):
Smith had this to say about Kevin Durant on this podcast.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
I'm a clown.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
That why your team called me to be a part
of your documentary?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
That's why y'all called me because I was a.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Clown your company, you run the show.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
How come y'all called me when you had.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
The boardroom and you were sitting down to interview people
one on one?
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Didn't you call me to do that interview?
Speaker 9 (31:29):
By the way, did you show up on first day
sitting right across from me a clown?
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Kevin Durant? Can anybody talk about you? I just need
to know. I just need clarity.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
After departing from Oklahoma City, sitting across from me, you
said you wanted to play a better brand of basketball. Well,
then what was the excuse for leaving to go to Brooklyn?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Which might be one of.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
The worst business moves that we have seen from a
basketball superstar in a modern day era.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I ask you a question about Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You know how I feel about Kevin Durant was a
one year he spent here in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I love the guy.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, I know a lot of folks disagree, but I
love the guy. Would you say that Kevin Durant is
one of the top fifty players all time in the
history of the NBA? Okay, and I would agree with that.
Why has he played for four different teams. Is that
just the name of the game now in the NBA?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I think it's more, yes, But I think it's also
more Durant. I don't think he's ever felt happy any place.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
And Kevin Durant teams.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Kevin Durant and Aaron Rodgers are the two most sensipooh
superstars we have seen in the last twenty years in sports.
Kevin Durant cannot get past somebody ripping on him, like
he has to reach out with one of his eight
burner accounts and get back at the guy. And it's
just I just don't understand why he couldn't just leave
(32:54):
it all alone. Man, he'd be so well liked, and
instead he's really disliked a majority of NBA fans.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
We just got done talking about how Joel Embiid snapped
at this guy.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
This is not like the Kevin Durant story.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
If somebody went after Durant's family and his you know,
deceased relatives like this schmuck did from Philadelphia, I could
see it. But this is a guy that just can't
handle just fair criticism of his game and he loses
his mind. All right, Let's get one more before we
get to the Husky Hawks. Hey Dick, did you happen.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
To hear that Dick yesterday at ESPN?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Here we go again at the start of Monday Night
Countdown before Bucks and Chiefs. Jason Kelcey begins the broadcast
by apologizing for a recent video that showed him slamming
someone's cell phone to the ground after they used a
homophobic slur directed at his brother Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
And we will get to all of that, But Jason,
I know you've got some stuff on your mind, and
I want to give you the floor to say which
is on your mind.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
Yeah, you know, listen, I think everybody's seen on social
media everything that took place this week. I'm not happy
with anything that took place. I'm not proud of it.
And you know, in a heated moment, I chose to
greet hate with hate, and I just don't think that
that's a productive thing. I really don't. I don't think that,
uh you know, it leads to discourse and it's the
(34:14):
right way to go about things. In that moment, I
fell down to the level that I shouldn't have. So
I think the bottom line is I try to live
my life by the Golden rule. That's what I've always
been taught. I try to treat people with common decency
and respect, and I'm going to keep doing that moving forward. Yeah,
I think we got a game to focus on.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I appreciate the message, I really do, but I also
believe that he had nothing to apologize for in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
So well, now it's being investigated, and the crime log,
according to the New York Post, listed the possible offenses
as criminal mischief and disorderly conduct on whose.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Part I'm Jason Kelsey. Wow, that's too bad. Really is
too bad, because, like I said, I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
He's not going to get charged, but yeah, I mean,
just to even investigate it his ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Totally warranted for me. All Right, we're gonna break. Greg
lewis smart than these guys. These guys ready for Penn State,
bringing their game faces. Mario is ready for an Arctic expertise.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
He's got the bumpy coat on.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Good lord, you bring the sled dogs today to Mario
and Greg.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Husky Hawks are next
