Speaker 1 (00:00):
Were we EQC sportsbook.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Where I see on my little cheat sheet here Dicky
at the seahawkser plus sixty six hundred to win the
entire damn thing?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Is it worth maybe a hundred bucks to just say,
you know what?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Crazier things have happened. Pittsburgh won the title as a
wild card team. We know who they beat, by the
way in two thousand and five. Those are some pretty
good damn odds. Why do you throw a hundred bucks
on into The Hawks are decent and maybe exceed expectations.
You get to December, you're like, hey, look at me.
We're having some fun. We're dreaming big.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Why they have not stat I learned today in ten
in the last eleven seasons, the last twenty two teams
to play in the Super Bowl, Right, okay, in ten
of those eleven years, both teams were twelve to one
or less on the Super.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Bowl at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So some long shots.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
No, No, the NFS. The NFL has been extremely shocky in
Super Bowls. The last death well, extremely.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And that's gonna James at some point. Maybe it's this year,
Maybe this is the year to do it. I don't know,
just get your butt down here to themra quick Casino
Sports book and check out all the plays because there's
a ton of them for the season and beyond. But
here's what we got today, fun with audio three forty
five four thirty Today the.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Debut or the Will Rogers Show.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The starting quarterback for your Washington Huskies will join us
every week courtesy of Montlake Futures. And then Steven SUSA
will be with us at five pm tonight. We may
have to have a little burial on the air at
five and maybe I think what we should do, guys,
is actually wait until five pm when Steven shows up,
because then there's gonna be actually more than three people
(01:37):
there at the funeral, because you think anybody wants to go, well,
I just think it's one of the saddest things when
nobody shows up to say goodbye to somebody, right, Like
you read about this in the paper all the time.
You know, no no close relatives, no friends, whatever. A
couple of people from the courthouse, maybe a couple of
folks from like the funeral home will come out and
watch the funeral, just so there's someone there to say goodbye.
(01:57):
And I'm kind of like Jackson, I just feel like
if we had a funeral for the Mariners, nobody would
show up.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I don't want to go, sad, I don't want to go.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I don't care like like we had.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I think it was Nathan Bishop Stator on The Mollywop
Dick's Favorite segment in the World. Yeah, and and I
kind of bar yourself. He said, show right, this is
his least favorite season ever. And like listen, like my
full on Mariner's mind came true in about two thousand,
so I've only been going for twenty four years, but
I think this might be my most hated season. I
just hate this year. I want it to be over.
(02:26):
I wish it was just I wish it was just
ending tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I have actually agreed this year with just about everything
the Mollywop guys have said from the beginning.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, I mean you dubbed me for Ian Dubby, Sergeant
Doom and chill. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean so this, I mean, this isn't some new
wagon I've jumped on here about the Mariners.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Jackson is exactly right.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Not only is it the most now I've always said
two thousand and one was the most disappointing season but
at least in two thousand and one.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
It's fun asself for SI.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They gave us.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They gave us memories, and they gave us a playoff
series win, and they gave us the division championship.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So at least they gave us something.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
In two thousand and one, not only did this team
give us nothing in the terms of playoffs, it was
boring as hell baseball to watch for five and a
half months in a row, Like how many times do
we have to endure three to one in the eighth?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Like it's just awful to watch.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well, I asked you guys off the year what the
biggest story was, and you both said the Huskies. Yes,
I think the biggest story around the city probably is
honestly still the Mariners and what they do next. I
think from a positive perspective and an uplifting perspective, it's
Washington just because they didn't get beat by You know,
we were State over the weekend and we saw that
(03:46):
horror show in that stadium three years ago with Jimmy
Lake when they lost to Montana. But I mean, for me,
what's going on now, Like we've gone from and it
was what two weeks ago when they fired Scott's service.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It was the Thursday before the Giant Series.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It was ten I think it was ten days ago
or like eleven days ago when they fired Scott's service.
And you know, there was some conversation that day, all right,
what does this mean for Jerry Depoto And everyone would
say things like, well, he's next, blah blah blah. I mean, guys,
unless they just have some kind of miracle finish here,
it's not gonna happen. I think that everyone's gotta go.
Everyone's gotta go. And what I mean everyone, I mean everyone,
(04:23):
everyone like and I've been saying this, I've said this before.
I know people laugh at it and all that blah
blah blah. I'd changed the colors, I'd changed the name
of the team. Just talking about that kill the Moose.
I'd sell the team. I'd force them to sell. I mean,
could Rob Manfred Sell forced John Stanton and Chris Larsen
to sell the baseball team.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
He's letting John Fisher moved the Age to Vegas for good.
There's way worse He's owners out there.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He's not going to force him to sell the ball club.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
But this is nothing is gonna change with those guys
owning this team, it's just not gonna change. And you know, look,
I know we're being slightly repetitive here, but you own
the team long enough. Every now and then you wake up,
you throw enough darts to the at some point you
hit a bullseye, and maybe these guys will eventually. But
the root of the problem is the ownership. The root
of the problem is the lack of passion from the
(05:07):
top of the pyramid.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You know, I mentioned this to you. I think we're
sitting here like last week.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We talked about the phenomenal ownership of the Seahawks the storm, right.
I mean, there's different the leadership at Washington where they
can have four different head coaches and still win ten games,
you know, three or four times during that time span.
This is a root cause. It is a rotten to
the core ownership group that needs to go. And we
(05:32):
were talking today on the golf course, Guys, I always
feel kind of queasy about telling fans to not go
to games, to be honest with you, because I have
a little PTSD from what we went through with the
Sonics back in the day. Not that we were the
reason why they left. I mean attendance was lame after
Clay Bennett took over because everyone knew they were moving,
but they were middle of the pack, you know, average
(05:53):
attendance for an average basketball team. The fans had nothing
to do with the Sonics moving. But when people people
don't start or stop going to games, and they stop
spending money, and you give ownership a reason to bail out,
you know, I just feel queasy going down that road.
I know that the lease on T Mobile Park is
like another fifteen years, so we have a long time
(06:15):
on something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But how do we fight back as fans?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Honestly, like outside it is going on the air and
ripping these guys and calling them out for being frauds
and not being passionate, which, by the way, I don't
think they give a damn about. I mean, I don't
think Chris Larson or John Stanton or any minority or
majority owner is going home to their wives going God,
did you hear what they said about us?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Nobody's saying that stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
They couldn't care less, but they care about their bottom line,
which is how much money they make. Obviously, So what
do we do? How do we fight back? Because all
I hear from people. The only way the fans can
fight back tangibly is to not spend money, to not watch,
to not listen, to not go, to not spend money.
So outside of that, which again gives the owners a
(06:59):
reason one day to pack up and move. I'm not
saying we're anywhere near close to that, by the way,
but one day down the road they certainly could play
that card.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
How do we fight back?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
This is the one team in Seattle where fans are
going to show up regardless of how good the baseball is,
right on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between June and September.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Why do you think I've always said this is a
baseball time at heart, but that hasn't.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
But my point is not about the baseball. My point
is about the park. It's about going to the park
with your friends and hanging out and drinking in the
beer garden and socializing and not even you've been there,
half the stadium doesn't watch the games like they're just
hanging out.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
They're chatting. It's a it's a fun place to go.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So the Mariner ownership has got that in their back pocket,
something that no other sports team has in Seattle. All
the other sports teams have to have to rely on
winning to get fans in the stands. And you just
go look the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday attendance with the
Seattle Mariners each and every June, July and August from
(08:07):
the time school is out until the time school goes back.
And then you watch what the intendance does before school
and after school, and it's a big difference. But let's
let's move to a different target for a second. I
listened to every word you just had to say. I
was looking at you, but you know what I was
also looking at. I was looking at the screen over
here that now has the Steel commercial on it, right,
that's the Dodgers game day Taoscar Hernandez thirty seconds ago,
(08:30):
as you were just talking, just went four for four
and knocked the picture out of the game, literally with
one hundred and five mile an hour line drive off
the shin. He is now hitting two eighty five on
the season, with twenty eight home runs, eighty seven RBIs
and an ops of eight thirty five.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And we decided not to.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Give him a one year, twenty three three million dollars
country it Now, Yeah, you don't even offer it, right,
So you could have said no, but you could have
said no, it didn't even offer it, and so your
offense got worse from last year to this year on
paper and in reality.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
So yeah, and I think that target, though, has been
We've fired missiles at that target all year long. And honestly,
we've been firing missiles. The fan base has been firing
missiles at Jerry Depoto for a couple of years now,
right going back to when he set the schedule for
(09:26):
twenty twenty we'll do this twenty twenty one. I don't
even remember what the hell he was talking about anymore
about what year we were supposed to do what. I'm
totally confused. Well, we're past all this has been watered
down exactly, I do know this, And no way, shape
or form did he ever mention twenty twenty five and anything, right,
And that's where we are looking at it next year,
So you're right. I mean, look, Jerry, Jerry's got to go.
(09:50):
This is just amazing. What's happening to this baseball team
with this offense. Every move Jerry Depoto has made offensively,
not one of them has turned out even Victor Roeblist.
Now since August first, as a six thirty six ops
in two bombs Randy Arose Arena. You know, we said,
he well, you know, hey, look at this, he's red
hot in the second half. Well he sucks again. He's
(10:11):
got a seven eleven ops since he showed up here,
justin Turner, it's gonna be a great quality clubhouse.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
He's got a seven hundred ops. That's still better there average, right,
but it's still terrible. Every move he makes falls to
you know what he's like, oh for eight, It's incredible
everything he does, every move he makes offense, He's a
total disaster offensively, and you still have the number one
era in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Man.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I mean, look, they're five and four since Stan Wilson
showed up, which I know they needed more than that.
And part of the equation here is that Houston just
will not stop winning. They've won now five in a row,
including sweeping the Royal Series over the weekend in Kansas City.
Is supposed to be a really good baseball team. But
I just want to get back to the question I
asked you guys, because obviously I agree with you on Jerry.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I mean, come on, it's enough. Is enough?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It's been nine years. Man, Come on, what do we do?
Do we just not go to games? I mean they're
thirteenth in baseball in attendance over thirty one thousand a game.
That's pretty damn good for a baseball team that is
breaking our hearts the way they.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Are coming off of non playoffs? Correct? Correct?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So what do we do Jackson? Do we just not
go to games? Do we not talk about him? Do
we not buy jerseys? Do we not buy memorabilia? Do
we just kind of say enough is enough? We're not
gonna show up, or if we show up, we're gonna
have bags on our heads Because I think the fans,
the fans of this baseball team are totally helpless in
a lot of ways. What can the fans really do
(11:39):
to make a difference? So the Mariners are struggling financially right,
this root sports thing is a disaster, at least by
by their context. It's a I think they're cheap, tightwads,
all of them. But if they're gonna use the root
sport thing to be even cheaper and more tight wattish,
if that's a word, then I can understand why they
would do that. We don't show up and we stop
(11:59):
spending money. You think they spend more money, they spend
less money.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I mean, you're just you're cutting up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
So what do we do?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
What do we do?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I think I think you brought up a really good
point with the context of if we stop going to games,
then it gives the exam example of the Sonics. Obviously
they say, oh, fans aren't coming anymore than maybe we
should think about moving the team. I think that I
don't know if it's the right call, and I don't
know if it's even possible, because I think Dick's right
that it's now a social gathering.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Like a friend.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I have friends who go who of course don't watch
the game. They just go to hang out and try
to you know, pick up somebody in the beer gardens.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
But in the end, as long as they're going, right
so in this context, so.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
In right now, So in this context, I don't think
you can just say stop going and keep people from going.
I think I think the thing to do is the
latter is to stop buying the merchandise, to stop paying
for whether it's ruse sports or however, to stop listening,
to stop taking in the games, because then it's not
a matter of people not going.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
It's just a matter of people not liking the product.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
So those City connect jerseys, which seem to be one
of the most popular pieces of sports attire in this
city right now, stop buying those. They shouldn't sell a
single one more after the crap shoot that they put
up this season. So all of that gear, stop it.
Don't buy the new jerseys, don't buy the spring training
hats or whatever they put out next March, whatever it is.
(13:19):
Stop paying for the gear because at least that will
take some dollars out while still having the attendance to say,
we will support this team, but we aren't going to
give you that extra dollar because you aren't good enough
to deserve that extra dollar.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That seems like a blip on the radar though supposed
to do it, supposed to do it in the end.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You know what, the answer to my question is nothing.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And I've heard it a few times at the ballpark
this year. You do what Boston Philly fans do? You
bull you boo the hell out?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
What's that gonna do? What is that thing?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Unless these guys are you know, have paper thin sensitivity,
which they which they don't. Honestly, we've been. We've been
booming them and rip them for twenty years. I mean,
I haven't heard a lot of business datu change.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I haven't heard a lot of boosiness state until this year,
and I've heard it a number of times this year.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Something's got to be done.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Something's got to be done because the booing the players,
who I'm sure busting their ass. These guys just shouldn't
be here. It's the wrong guys. And I don't have
any problem with the players as dudes. I'm sure they're
all fine gentlemen. But honestly, I mean, do we just
do a sell the team campaign and start getting billboards?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I just don't think it's gonna matter.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
None of that stuff matters.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It's all fine and makes us feel better inside than
we went home and we showed them right, got some
anger out, some frustration, which for me, this show is cathartic.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I know for you it is too. For all the listeners,
maybe it's cathartic too.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But what in the hell do we really have up
our sleeve that we can play that will force these
guys to either sell the baseball team or be get
serious about it. And I don't know what that is
When you're sitting on a cash cow. I mean you literally,
as the owner dick of a major league baseball team,
don't need.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
To do anything once you acquire the team.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Just sit back and just watch the pile of money
grow exponentially year.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
By year by year by year by year.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
But the only way you can cash in on it
is by selling it, right, So if you want the
money back, you got to sell the team.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, I mean you can take out equity. I guess
all that, but I mean at some point they'll sell,
sooner or later. One day they'll sell. How long that
will be I have no idea unless they pass this
thing along to their kids.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I know John Stanton's son works for the team.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I think he works on the baseball side, but I
don't know if he's got a hatred to own the deer.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Here's what I worry about it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
There's that there's no that there's no local buyer, and
if they were in and end up selling, it would
be a sonic SIT's That's what I don't even I
don't even know. That's why I walk. John Stanton Company
is a hell of a lot better than Clayton Bennett's
baseball version of Clayton.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, I'd rather have a bad team than no team,
always always, always right, would always have a terrible team
to not have a team at all. And that's why
I get queasy and nervous about encouraging fans to not
go out to the ball park, because I don't want
the ownership to have any card to play whatsoever when
it comes to selling this team to an out of
town owner that one day would move. And again, maybe
that's not a concern today. They signed a brand new
(16:03):
twenty five year lease on T Mobile Park. I think
it was in twenty eighteen, so they got a long
way to go. They got like nineteen years left on
the lease, so that's not a factor for now.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And you know what, maybe this is the time to
do that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Actually, now that I'm talking about this out loud, maybe
that maybe now is the time to do something like
this when you've gotten damn near twenty years left on
the ballpark leaves. And I don't know if there's clauses
in the deal where they can break it, if attendance
drops behind this, behind that, we need to look into that. Honestly,
we need to look into all this stuff and see
what that lease looks like, because if that Lee lease
(16:34):
is rock solid for two decades, if there's ever a
year and a time to tell the fans to tell
them to stick it and take a hike and not
even show up to a baseball game or ignore an
entire series, it's right now. But again, I just come
back to the same damn spot. What is that going
to really do? Okay, so nobody shows up. The tickets
are already sold, they're already purchased. They do this Weasley thing,
(16:58):
and it's not just the Mariners, it's every team.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That does this team well. Then they also make you
put your deposits in like July of the.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Year before when they announced attendance. It's never attendance. If
it was attendance, the White Sox would have like nine
people there.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's tickets distributed. The tickets are already sold.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I mean, god, I just for our own well being
and our own mental health.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
You want to picket, do what the union unions do?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And what good does that do?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Seems that it's still work for some there. It's just
it's it's it's despicable.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's despicable. It's disgusting what this baseball team has done.
To its fan base this year, and Jackson, I'm telling
with you, this is my least favorite year Mariner baseball
maybe ever. I mean, the two thousand and one team
fell short, but a lot of teams fall shot.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I wasn't even having fun when we were up ten
games because it was just painful to watch, and it
was it was smoking mirrors. Like I was like, dude,
are our run differentials like plus six and we're ten
games over five hundred and it's bad baseball.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Just look at the screen. Don't look at the record.
Look at the screen. It's bad baseball.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
But you thought maybe at least they'd fall to five hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Of course they played five hundred the rest of the
year and then still make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
This is a complete disaster. This all collapse.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
They're couging it, dude, They've coug it absolutely in two things.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You don't have a ten game lead.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
They've lost sixteen games in the standings to the Astros.
I mean, I can handle making the playoffs and falling.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Look at the Dodgers, for god's sakes, Dick.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
They've won a hundred games like four of the last
year yearly made the World Series one time and that
was the COVID year. That happens. That's baseball. That's why
you say anything can happen come playoff time. But to
not even give these guys a shot to perform in
the postseason, it's just the whole thing is freaking gross man,
just gross. All right, we're gonna break a little fun
with audio at three forty five, Will Rogers you dub
(18:54):
Let's talk about what we saw from the Dodge. Next
on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Softie and Dick Gone, your home for the
Huskies and the Kruken Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ R FM.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Hey, don't forget Tomorrow Factor Fiction begins right here on
this radio station. Let me see if I know the times, Jackson,
off the top of my head. It's been the same
four times right for the last time, many every years.
Yea seven thirty five, eleven thirty five, two thirty five,
three thirty five.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Nail it.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
God, I'm so coach.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Tomorrow Factor Fiction, brought to you by the emeral Quinck Casino,
starts here on the air.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I'm preparing.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, well, that's one college game I got my eye
on that.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I love, by the way.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That game right there, that game right there.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
We'll see if somebody takes it.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
All you gotta do is just wait.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
At those times I said you'll have is it five
minutes Jackson to text in?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I want to say it's twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Twelve minutes good, twelve minutes to text in factor fiction
to four, nine, four or five one. For example, if
Dick Fane or whoever were to go on the year
tomorrow and say I like Colorado plus the seven against
Nebraska this weekend, then you would either a text in
fact there be fiction to four nine four, five to one,
and then you wait and see and if you're win
and you're in the hopper for the weekly prize and
(20:30):
you're getting your your win counted towards your overall score,
most picks right by the end of the year win
ten thousand bucks. Courtesy of the equ See can't wait
for that to start tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Oh, it's gonna be fun. I think this this week.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I was just telling you in the NFL there are
ten games ten where the line is two and a half,
three or three and a half. That is how parody
baby shruncated just squish to the middle of the NFL
is right now with very few great teams, bad teams,
and we're probably gonna see that all all season long.
(21:02):
But I also think that the books are trying to
protect themselves a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah, they're not trying to grind a big limb.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And you know, put anybody to seven and a half
or an eight or eight and a half points spread
in one week.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, it's hard to bet week one of anything because
you don't really know a lot obviously. But here's what
we got Will Rodgers coming up at about four point
thirty today on the radio show, courtesy of our friends
at Might Lake Futures. We'll talk to Will about everything
that we saw in the Husky game over the weekend.
And look, I mean, I just I don't know. I
don't want to sit here and say, oh they look great, man,
They're gonna be awesome. Yeah, Final Four, Boss Blah, I
(21:32):
just kind of, you know, equate games like this to
NFL preseason games. You know, I said that to Ian
and the Cross Talks segment that at least it wasn't
a complete disaster. You know, Quinton Moore got hurt on
the knee injury. We'll see where his status is, and
of Jed said today he may not be out longer
than a couple of weeks, and they need him. I mean,
not that Quinton Moore is the world's greatest tight end,
(21:53):
but they got nothing at tight end. I mean, they
got lot To, who's skinnier than you, by the way,
they got Decker to who had the touchdown over the week,
And I wonder if Quentin Moore is gonna be out
for a while. If they met, he's probably out for
the next two or three weeks still, I mean he
was he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Even suited up for the game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Ryan At you're talking about Katon, his brother, so I
have no idea what his status is. He's been banged
up for a long time now, so there's not much there.
They might eventually move somebody to that position, Dick, just
to get some depth at that spot.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
But that's a concern for you.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Dub.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
The offensive line I thought played okay. You know, they
made some moves. Obviously, they had Koch at right tackle,
he knock at right guard. They had Landing Hatchet at
right guard. They had as a party at tackle, as
a party at the right tackle, the left tackle, And
I swear to God, there is a drive and somebody
please go back and check this for me that the
(22:45):
first play of the fourth drive of the game, they
had as a party at right tackle and on second
down they had him at left tackle. They literally switched
him during the same drive to a different spot unless
he went to the wrong spot, which is certainly possible.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
But I just think Swane is so light in the
in the butt.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You know, short, he's he's a he's he's a pretty
skinny dude for playing left tackle as a red shirt freshman.
So I think you're still looking for a combination of
five guys that works. And I would expect all that
tickering to continue against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well, I'm gonna put more stock in it than a
preseason NFL game, that's for sure, because a preseason NFL
game I put zero.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Stock in so you put like a scale of one
to ten, NFL preseason a zero, there's a one.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, No, I mean if NFL preseason games a zero
and a conference game for the Huskies is a seven,
and a championship games of ten, still a three or
a four?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Man right, Well, I maybe it's a two.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I mean, I still think you can you can tell
against Weaver State right away where you feel good and
where you don't feel good. And I'll tell you what
Jonah Coleman can run against anybody.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I don't know if the holes will be as big
against some other teams, but from what I saw from
that guy, and I came away from that guy thinking,
all right, when was the last time I saw a
Husky running back with that type of talent. I'm not
talking about you know, Husky legend status, Miles Gasking, ranking
(24:22):
up yards, Bishop Sankey racking. No, no, no, I'm talking about
NFL talent. It has been a long long time. And
that's the best debut of our lifetime for a Husky
running back. I mean, from a puer yardage stand sure,
it's the best debut we've seen.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
That guy is the real deal.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Well and part of it's the portal obviously, because you know,
before the last couple of years, when you talk about
date hues, he's talking about freshmen, right or transfers from
like FCS schools or whatever at junior colleges. I mean,
for me, like you know, you just look at raw talent.
I mean, Corey Dillon comes to mind, obviously, and that
was thirty years ago, right. But the thing about Johnna
Coleman is that we already knew that Jonah Coleman was legit.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I didn't think he was this shifty though. Yeah, I
did not think he had the footwork that he has
coming to spring ball.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I think he showed a lot of that, but obviously
there's no tackling for the most part.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So now you're seeing it against an FCS team.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That was the biggest thing obviously from a standpoint of wow,
that you took from the game on Saturday. No question,
I think Jonah Coleman's going to be good. I just
don't know what this offensive line dick is all about.
I mean, I'm still kind of waiting to see did
the like, do you watch the way the line performed
against Weber State and go, okay, when they play Michigan.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
In a month from now.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I now feel better about them against Michigan than I
did four days ago because of the way they played
against Weber State.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I don't feel like that at all.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Well, I think if they struggled to run the ball,
they struggled the passer tech a little bit.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
They did, but they also don't have.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
A quarterback to escape at all. I mean Will Rogers,
if you that was the disappointment. I mean, I thought
Will Rogers was fine, but there's no elusiveness there at all,
and we're just used to it list seeing it least
a little bit of elusiveness from the quarterbacks. I mean
like Pennix had some, Gino has some, you know, and
then he had Demon Williams in there, and he's got
(26:09):
a ton either. Just wasn't a lot of a lot
of elusiveness there. But you know, I think if we
would have struggled to run the football and open up
holes against Weaver State, I would have been very concerned.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
And there was no trouble with that at all.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
And when watching the Cougar game and all I hear
Cougar fans talking about, oh we don't miss cam Ward.
I had I had dudes tweet, Wow, we don't miss
Cam mord We scored seventy points. Yeah, you tell that
to Florida that you didn't miss Cam Ward. The Cougars
gave up to what two hundred and fifty yards to rushing.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
To Portland State.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, I'm giving that ball to Jonah Coleman thirty plus
times in that Apple Come.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
How many of those yards though, came when the game
was out of control.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I had no idea. I didn't watch the game. I
don't I know you scored fifty in the first half.
I watched so that I watched.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
The first quarter of that game when it was still
somewhat of a game, and the first thing that jumped
out to me was how small the Cougar defensive front.
I was like, wow, there is no beef on that
defensive line. So if all you need to do is
run the ball to Jonah Coleman and Cam Davis and
just pound pound pound pound pound, I am totally cool
(27:12):
with that game claim here.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I think I think the Cougar game is more
of a problem than people are letting it out to be.
To be honest with you, I think there's a lot
of people that think that you dubb is going to
walk through Washington State, and I don't believe that.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And I didn't believe that a week ago.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I told you that guy's on the air that this
is going to be a bigger challenge for Washington than
people think. And look, I mean, Texas Tech, they're gonna
be a little more battle tested than you, dub Is,
because you Dub's got a Mac team this weekend. They
played Texas Tech this Saturday in Pulman. This Johnny Mattier guy,
he's no joke. I mean, he can move, he can run,
he can throw. And when Cougar fans say I don't
(27:45):
miss cam Ward, I think it's just because they him
and his attitude. They thought they had a guy with
a bad attitude in cam Ward. You know the way
I feel about cam Ward. I picked him to win
the Heisman Trophy at Miami. I thought he looks sensational,
amazing against Florida. But Florida is also a team that
may have their coach fire before November. Cops right for
crying out loud, So I mean, look, hey again, at
least it wasn't a complete disaster for the offensive line. Decent,
(28:08):
not great starting point for them. I agree with your
take on the secondary. I said this on the pregame
show on Saturday. I thought the secondary was the best
part of the defense going in and I believe that now.
It was interesting hearing Millan talk about Durfy. He was
a little tentative in the game. And if Zach Durfy
cannot play that way, then he's got a chance to
be their best pass rusher. But again, let's see what
(28:29):
happens this weekend against Eastern Michigan. I think Christian Kpo
was talking him the sideline as the game was wrapping
up over the weekend. I think he's exactly right. If
they go three and Ohero, that's a legit win over Wazoo.
If they get to three and o, that's not just day.
Let's just take Wazoo and just chalk up and win.
If they can pull that off, that means good things
for you, dub to come. We're gonna break a little
fun with Audio coming next, and then Will Rogers will
(28:51):
join us at four point thirty right here on ninety
three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's now time for Suday in Dick's One with Audio
g pull and starred Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
All righty, here we go on a busy Monday, Labor
Day Monday, from the emeral quinc Casino right here on
ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Stephen Susi joining us at five.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Well, Rogers Husky quarterback at four thirty curtsy amount like futures.
Time for a little fun with audio slash. Hey did
you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Let's start in college football. Great game last night from Vegas,
LSU usc usc with a come from behind win, and
LSU head coach Brian Kelly very angry at his press
conference last night after his Tigers lost to USC on
a late touchdown in Las Vegas.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
We're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about
the same things about not finishing when you have an
opponent in a.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Position to put them away.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
But what we're doing on the sideline is feeling like
the game's over, and I'm so angry about it that
I got to do something about it. I'm not doing
a good enough job as a coach, and I got
to coach him better because it's unacceptable for us not
to have found a way to win this football game.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It's ridiculous. Got it just started.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So John McClaren esque, yes, that whole thing, like he
was reading it off a teleprompter. And I'm glad he
said it was his problem, because I was gonna say
that sounds like a you problem, Brian. If your team's
on the sideline again acting like they've won the game again, well,
the only common threat is you. Those players change every year, right, Yes,
sounds like a Brian Kelly prop.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Well he lost the same way last year in the
first game to Florida State on this field. Go on
believe in the same game, the Sunday night National TV game,
And you know.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I thought it was great.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
There was somebody tweeted out that Brian Kelly was so
angry last night that he forgot to use his Southern accent.
I remember he had the here's the thing, welcome, Oh,
we love y'all here in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
This guy's won ten games a year for seven years
in a row. I mean, he's a good coach, but
there's a difference between the good coaches and the elite coaches.
And I remember that list that came out that had
the top coaches in college football.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
He wasn't on it, like top five, top six.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
What's he done in big time games? Nothing? Nothing?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I mean when you have guys like Steve Sarkejian ranked
ahead of you and Dan Lanning, who, by the way,
also has done nothing in big time games, but hasn't
had the chance to prove it the way this guy has,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
No, but again, hasn't had the opportunities.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I mean, this guy's had opportunities in big time games
going back to twenty ten, going back to two thousand
and eight, sixteen, seventeen years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
What's that?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Tennessee football open their season with a sixty nine to
three win over Chattanooga on Saturday. During the Voluntary Reaction
postgame show, we want to react? It's voluntary on wk G.
By the way, is it the name of the show,
The Voluntary Reactions show that volunteers.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
I love that? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
On w kg N one oh five point seven in Knoxville,
one Color's wife interrupted him, calling into the show.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
That's why I think they'd pulled the trigger pretty quickly
on gett rid of Billy.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
It doesn't matter to your family, so lose your situation.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
My dad needs your help.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Cosmo Chris, I know you don't here.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
I'll take your two and a half million dollars.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Oh that's a first sitting on two and a half mill.
Huh that got Cosmo Chris has two and a half million.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Yeah, geez, how about that.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Cosmo Chris Man, he's in trouble.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
He's gotta he's gotta.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Call the voice leaders from Cosmo.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Chris needs a run.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Guys, that is funny. All right, Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Dick? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
During last week seven PM in Brooklyn podcast, Carmelo Anthony
talked about how NBA players feel about Seattle and the
NBA expanding.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
It's smart to do Seattle, Like Seattle have history, but
it's like legacy is tradition, like for that to just
be cut off like that, and like their identity goes
directly to Oklahoma City, like you know what I'm saying,
Like Seattle have a rich history when it comes to
what they contributed to this NBA.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
What is it about Seattle as a player that you.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Like, Seattle got his own vibe and when sports was popping,
like when basketball was popping out the NBA, it was
nice to go travel to Seattle like it was good
energy out there. Would you revent the whole thing or
would you just bring back the Seattle SuperSonics, same jersey because.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Jerseys was hard.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Yeah, you gotta keep all of that, all the old joints.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
Can't come with a new color in Seattle. Seattle needs
to be back. Players want Seattle back. Players that understand
that they want Seattle back.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
If they give the NBA two new teams and one
of them is not Seattle, there's going to be an
uproar from current and former players because I guarantee you
this current players having to go to Oklahoma City over
Seattle is not anything anybody in always doing.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
It's brutal.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Have you guys been there, by the way, I've been
at Oklahoma City, Jackson, have you been there?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Remember when uh Sea Bass cam Neely in the bathroom
and dumb and dumber?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Remember that as Sea Bass. That's the way it is.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Do you think about all these cliches and like stereotypes.
That's the way it is. Place is a dump man.
There's not one NBA player Are you kidding me? With
the money they have to spend, the bling they want
to show off, and the women they want to hang
out with that wants to go to Oklahoma City, which
I promised you that.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Which is why Sam Presty, as much as we don't
like him, is doing exactly what he needs to do.
I mean that was that is collect as many first
round draft picks over a decade as you can and
lock these guys up. Shay Gilgess, Alexander Chad Holmgren. Lock
these guys up because you drafted them, because you know
they're not going to stick around when they're getting.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Ready to make them past.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Oh, we got time for one more Jackson, one more?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Scottie Scheffler won the tour champion and ship. But he's
like yesterday by four strokes, taking home twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Is that right? Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
But his post round press conference, one reporter tried to
ask Scotty about one of his worst shots of the week,
when he shanked the shot out of a bunker on
the eighth hole on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
What happened on that shot out of the bunker?
Speaker 9 (35:18):
Shanked it?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Why did you shake it?
Speaker 9 (35:21):
So there's a the club like, there's this straight part
of the face and then never hears the hozzle And
on that one specifically, I caught too much of that
part of the face.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Then that's why I went to the right.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
So it's shaped kind of, you know, a little curve.
And then so I tell you, if I hit the
straight part, it's gonna go that way I drink, and
then if I hit this part, it's gonna come you know,
towards you.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I know, this season.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Thank you so good. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Good for him, I mean, we need to see some
personality from him, yeah, because it's gotten really boring watching
him win tournaments by five and six shots.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
The problem is is that once he starts like losing,
and then he just comes right back, and then he
starts to dominate, and then he steps back and then
he dominates again. I mean, he is so far and
away the best thing going in golf right now as
far as a player. It's ridiculous, but you're right, he
is the face of golf. I mean, the golf world
has been looking for the next face after Tiger Wood
stepped aside, and it's now Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Nobody else can sustain this the way he can. It's unbelievable.
All Right, we're gonna break. Will Rogers will join us
at four thirty steven Sue's at five on a Labor
Day Monday from the Emerald Queen right here on ninety
three three KJRFM
Were we EQC sportsbook.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Where I see on my little cheat sheet here Dicky
at the seahawkser plus sixty six hundred to win the
entire damn thing?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Is it worth maybe a hundred bucks to just say,
you know what?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Crazier things have happened. Pittsburgh won the title as a
wild card team. We know who they beat, by the
way in two thousand and five. Those are some pretty
good damn odds. Why do you throw a hundred bucks
on into The Hawks are decent and maybe exceed expectations.
You get to December, you're like, hey, look at me.
We're having some fun. We're dreaming big.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Why they have not stat I learned today in ten
in the last eleven seasons, the last twenty two teams
to play in the Super Bowl, Right, okay, in ten
of those eleven years, both teams were twelve to one
or less on the Super.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Bowl at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So some long shots.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
No, No, the NFS. The NFL has been extremely shocky in
Super Bowls. The last death well, extremely.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And that's gonna James at some point. Maybe it's this year,
Maybe this is the year to do it. I don't know,
just get your butt down here to themra quick Casino
Sports book and check out all the plays because there's
a ton of them for the season and beyond. But
here's what we got today, fun with audio three forty
five four thirty Today the.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Debut or the Will Rogers Show.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The starting quarterback for your Washington Huskies will join us
every week courtesy of Montlake Futures. And then Steven SUSA
will be with us at five pm tonight. We may
have to have a little burial on the air at
five and maybe I think what we should do, guys,
is actually wait until five pm when Steven shows up,
because then there's gonna be actually more than three people
(01:37):
there at the funeral, because you think anybody wants to go, well,
I just think it's one of the saddest things when
nobody shows up to say goodbye to somebody, right, Like
you read about this in the paper all the time.
You know, no no close relatives, no friends, whatever. A
couple of people from the courthouse, maybe a couple of
folks from like the funeral home will come out and
watch the funeral, just so there's someone there to say goodbye.
(01:57):
And I'm kind of like Jackson, I just feel like
if we had a funeral for the Mariners, nobody would
show up.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I don't want to go, sad, I don't want to go.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I don't care like like we had.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I think it was Nathan Bishop Stator on The Mollywop
Dick's Favorite segment in the World. Yeah, and and I
kind of bar yourself. He said, show right, this is
his least favorite season ever. And like listen, like my
full on Mariner's mind came true in about two thousand,
so I've only been going for twenty four years, but
I think this might be my most hated season. I
just hate this year. I want it to be over.
(02:26):
I wish it was just I wish it was just
ending tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I have actually agreed this year with just about everything
the Mollywop guys have said from the beginning.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, I mean you dubbed me for Ian Dubby, Sergeant
Doom and chill. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean so this, I mean, this isn't some new
wagon I've jumped on here about the Mariners.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Jackson is exactly right.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Not only is it the most now I've always said
two thousand and one was the most disappointing season but
at least in two thousand and one.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
It's fun asself for SI.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They gave us.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They gave us memories, and they gave us a playoff
series win, and they gave us the division championship.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So at least they gave us something.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
In two thousand and one, not only did this team
give us nothing in the terms of playoffs, it was
boring as hell baseball to watch for five and a
half months in a row, Like how many times do
we have to endure three to one in the eighth?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Like it's just awful to watch.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well, I asked you guys off the year what the
biggest story was, and you both said the Huskies. Yes,
I think the biggest story around the city probably is
honestly still the Mariners and what they do next. I
think from a positive perspective and an uplifting perspective, it's
Washington just because they didn't get beat by You know,
we were State over the weekend and we saw that
(03:46):
horror show in that stadium three years ago with Jimmy
Lake when they lost to Montana. But I mean, for me,
what's going on now, Like we've gone from and it
was what two weeks ago when they fired Scott's service.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It was the Thursday before the Giant Series.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It was ten I think it was ten days ago
or like eleven days ago when they fired Scott's service.
And you know, there was some conversation that day, all right,
what does this mean for Jerry Depoto And everyone would
say things like, well, he's next, blah blah blah. I mean, guys,
unless they just have some kind of miracle finish here,
it's not gonna happen. I think that everyone's gotta go.
Everyone's gotta go. And what I mean everyone, I mean everyone,
(04:23):
everyone like and I've been saying this, I've said this before.
I know people laugh at it and all that blah
blah blah. I'd changed the colors, I'd changed the name
of the team. Just talking about that kill the Moose.
I'd sell the team. I'd force them to sell. I mean,
could Rob Manfred Sell forced John Stanton and Chris Larsen
to sell the baseball team.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
He's letting John Fisher moved the Age to Vegas for good.
There's way worse He's owners out there.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He's not going to force him to sell the ball club.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
But this is nothing is gonna change with those guys
owning this team, it's just not gonna change. And you know, look,
I know we're being slightly repetitive here, but you own
the team long enough. Every now and then you wake up,
you throw enough darts to the at some point you
hit a bullseye, and maybe these guys will eventually. But
the root of the problem is the ownership. The root
of the problem is the lack of passion from the
(05:07):
top of the pyramid.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You know, I mentioned this to you. I think we're
sitting here like last week.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We talked about the phenomenal ownership of the Seahawks the storm, right.
I mean, there's different the leadership at Washington where they
can have four different head coaches and still win ten games,
you know, three or four times during that time span.
This is a root cause. It is a rotten to
the core ownership group that needs to go. And we
(05:32):
were talking today on the golf course, Guys, I always
feel kind of queasy about telling fans to not go
to games, to be honest with you, because I have
a little PTSD from what we went through with the
Sonics back in the day. Not that we were the
reason why they left. I mean attendance was lame after
Clay Bennett took over because everyone knew they were moving,
but they were middle of the pack, you know, average
(05:53):
attendance for an average basketball team. The fans had nothing
to do with the Sonics moving. But when people people
don't start or stop going to games, and they stop
spending money, and you give ownership a reason to bail out,
you know, I just feel queasy going down that road.
I know that the lease on T Mobile Park is
like another fifteen years, so we have a long time
(06:15):
on something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But how do we fight back as fans?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Honestly, like outside it is going on the air and
ripping these guys and calling them out for being frauds
and not being passionate, which, by the way, I don't
think they give a damn about. I mean, I don't
think Chris Larson or John Stanton or any minority or
majority owner is going home to their wives going God,
did you hear what they said about us?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Nobody's saying that stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
They couldn't care less, but they care about their bottom line,
which is how much money they make. Obviously, So what
do we do? How do we fight back? Because all
I hear from people. The only way the fans can
fight back tangibly is to not spend money, to not watch,
to not listen, to not go, to not spend money.
So outside of that, which again gives the owners a
(06:59):
reason one day to pack up and move. I'm not
saying we're anywhere near close to that, by the way,
but one day down the road they certainly could play
that card.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
How do we fight back?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
This is the one team in Seattle where fans are
going to show up regardless of how good the baseball is,
right on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between June and September.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Why do you think I've always said this is a
baseball time at heart, but that hasn't.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
But my point is not about the baseball. My point
is about the park. It's about going to the park
with your friends and hanging out and drinking in the
beer garden and socializing and not even you've been there,
half the stadium doesn't watch the games like they're just
hanging out.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
They're chatting. It's a it's a fun place to go.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So the Mariner ownership has got that in their back pocket,
something that no other sports team has in Seattle. All
the other sports teams have to have to rely on
winning to get fans in the stands. And you just
go look the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday attendance with the
Seattle Mariners each and every June, July and August from
(08:07):
the time school is out until the time school goes back.
And then you watch what the intendance does before school
and after school, and it's a big difference. But let's
let's move to a different target for a second. I
listened to every word you just had to say. I
was looking at you, but you know what I was
also looking at. I was looking at the screen over
here that now has the Steel commercial on it, right,
that's the Dodgers game day Taoscar Hernandez thirty seconds ago,
(08:30):
as you were just talking, just went four for four
and knocked the picture out of the game, literally with
one hundred and five mile an hour line drive off
the shin. He is now hitting two eighty five on
the season, with twenty eight home runs, eighty seven RBIs
and an ops of eight thirty five.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And we decided not to.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Give him a one year, twenty three three million dollars
country it Now, Yeah, you don't even offer it, right,
So you could have said no, but you could have
said no, it didn't even offer it, and so your
offense got worse from last year to this year on
paper and in reality.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
So yeah, and I think that target, though, has been
We've fired missiles at that target all year long. And honestly,
we've been firing missiles. The fan base has been firing
missiles at Jerry Depoto for a couple of years now,
right going back to when he set the schedule for
(09:26):
twenty twenty we'll do this twenty twenty one. I don't
even remember what the hell he was talking about anymore
about what year we were supposed to do what. I'm
totally confused. Well, we're past all this has been watered
down exactly, I do know this, And no way, shape
or form did he ever mention twenty twenty five and anything, right,
And that's where we are looking at it next year,
So you're right. I mean, look, Jerry, Jerry's got to go.
(09:50):
This is just amazing. What's happening to this baseball team
with this offense. Every move Jerry Depoto has made offensively,
not one of them has turned out even Victor Roeblist.
Now since August first, as a six thirty six ops
in two bombs Randy Arose Arena. You know, we said,
he well, you know, hey, look at this, he's red
hot in the second half. Well he sucks again. He's
(10:11):
got a seven eleven ops since he showed up here,
justin Turner, it's gonna be a great quality clubhouse.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
He's got a seven hundred ops. That's still better there average, right,
but it's still terrible. Every move he makes falls to
you know what he's like, oh for eight, It's incredible
everything he does, every move he makes offense, He's a
total disaster offensively, and you still have the number one
era in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Man.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I mean, look, they're five and four since Stan Wilson
showed up, which I know they needed more than that.
And part of the equation here is that Houston just
will not stop winning. They've won now five in a row,
including sweeping the Royal Series over the weekend in Kansas City.
Is supposed to be a really good baseball team. But
I just want to get back to the question I
asked you guys, because obviously I agree with you on Jerry.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I mean, come on, it's enough. Is enough?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It's been nine years. Man, Come on, what do we do?
Do we just not go to games? I mean they're
thirteenth in baseball in attendance over thirty one thousand a game.
That's pretty damn good for a baseball team that is
breaking our hearts the way they.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Are coming off of non playoffs? Correct? Correct?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So what do we do Jackson? Do we just not
go to games? Do we not talk about him? Do
we not buy jerseys? Do we not buy memorabilia? Do
we just kind of say enough is enough? We're not
gonna show up, or if we show up, we're gonna
have bags on our heads Because I think the fans,
the fans of this baseball team are totally helpless in
a lot of ways. What can the fans really do
(11:39):
to make a difference? So the Mariners are struggling financially right,
this root sports thing is a disaster, at least by
by their context. It's a I think they're cheap, tightwads,
all of them. But if they're gonna use the root
sport thing to be even cheaper and more tight wattish,
if that's a word, then I can understand why they
would do that. We don't show up and we stop
(11:59):
spending money. You think they spend more money, they spend
less money.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I mean, you're just you're cutting up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
So what do we do?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
What do we do?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I think I think you brought up a really good
point with the context of if we stop going to games,
then it gives the exam example of the Sonics. Obviously
they say, oh, fans aren't coming anymore than maybe we
should think about moving the team. I think that I
don't know if it's the right call, and I don't
know if it's even possible, because I think Dick's right
that it's now a social gathering.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Like a friend.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I have friends who go who of course don't watch
the game. They just go to hang out and try
to you know, pick up somebody in the beer gardens.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
But in the end, as long as they're going, right
so in this context, so.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
In right now, So in this context, I don't think
you can just say stop going and keep people from going.
I think I think the thing to do is the
latter is to stop buying the merchandise, to stop paying
for whether it's ruse sports or however, to stop listening,
to stop taking in the games, because then it's not
a matter of people not going.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
It's just a matter of people not liking the product.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
So those City connect jerseys, which seem to be one
of the most popular pieces of sports attire in this
city right now, stop buying those. They shouldn't sell a
single one more after the crap shoot that they put
up this season. So all of that gear, stop it.
Don't buy the new jerseys, don't buy the spring training
hats or whatever they put out next March, whatever it is.
(13:19):
Stop paying for the gear because at least that will
take some dollars out while still having the attendance to say,
we will support this team, but we aren't going to
give you that extra dollar because you aren't good enough
to deserve that extra dollar.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That seems like a blip on the radar though supposed
to do it, supposed to do it in the end.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You know what, the answer to my question is nothing.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And I've heard it a few times at the ballpark
this year. You do what Boston Philly fans do? You
bull you boo the hell out?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
What's that gonna do? What is that thing?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Unless these guys are you know, have paper thin sensitivity,
which they which they don't. Honestly, we've been. We've been
booming them and rip them for twenty years. I mean,
I haven't heard a lot of business datu change.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I haven't heard a lot of boosiness state until this year,
and I've heard it a number of times this year.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Something's got to be done.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Something's got to be done because the booing the players,
who I'm sure busting their ass. These guys just shouldn't
be here. It's the wrong guys. And I don't have
any problem with the players as dudes. I'm sure they're
all fine gentlemen. But honestly, I mean, do we just
do a sell the team campaign and start getting billboards?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I just don't think it's gonna matter.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
None of that stuff matters.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It's all fine and makes us feel better inside than
we went home and we showed them right, got some
anger out, some frustration, which for me, this show is cathartic.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I know for you it is too. For all the listeners,
maybe it's cathartic too.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But what in the hell do we really have up
our sleeve that we can play that will force these
guys to either sell the baseball team or be get
serious about it. And I don't know what that is
When you're sitting on a cash cow. I mean you literally,
as the owner dick of a major league baseball team,
don't need.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
To do anything once you acquire the team.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Just sit back and just watch the pile of money
grow exponentially year.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
By year by year by year by year.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
But the only way you can cash in on it
is by selling it, right, So if you want the
money back, you got to sell the team.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, I mean you can take out equity. I guess
all that, but I mean at some point they'll sell,
sooner or later. One day they'll sell. How long that
will be I have no idea unless they pass this
thing along to their kids.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I know John Stanton's son works for the team.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I think he works on the baseball side, but I
don't know if he's got a hatred to own the deer.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Here's what I worry about it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
There's that there's no that there's no local buyer, and
if they were in and end up selling, it would
be a sonic SIT's That's what I don't even I
don't even know. That's why I walk. John Stanton Company
is a hell of a lot better than Clayton Bennett's
baseball version of Clayton.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, I'd rather have a bad team than no team,
always always, always right, would always have a terrible team
to not have a team at all. And that's why
I get queasy and nervous about encouraging fans to not
go out to the ball park, because I don't want
the ownership to have any card to play whatsoever when
it comes to selling this team to an out of
town owner that one day would move. And again, maybe
that's not a concern today. They signed a brand new
(16:03):
twenty five year lease on T Mobile Park. I think
it was in twenty eighteen, so they got a long
way to go. They got like nineteen years left on
the lease, so that's not a factor for now.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And you know what, maybe this is the time to
do that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Actually, now that I'm talking about this out loud, maybe
that maybe now is the time to do something like
this when you've gotten damn near twenty years left on
the ballpark leaves. And I don't know if there's clauses
in the deal where they can break it, if attendance
drops behind this, behind that, we need to look into that. Honestly,
we need to look into all this stuff and see
what that lease looks like, because if that Lee lease
(16:34):
is rock solid for two decades, if there's ever a
year and a time to tell the fans to tell
them to stick it and take a hike and not
even show up to a baseball game or ignore an
entire series, it's right now. But again, I just come
back to the same damn spot. What is that going
to really do? Okay, so nobody shows up. The tickets
are already sold, they're already purchased. They do this Weasley thing,
(16:58):
and it's not just the Mariners, it's every team.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That does this team well. Then they also make you
put your deposits in like July of the.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Year before when they announced attendance. It's never attendance. If
it was attendance, the White Sox would have like nine
people there.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's tickets distributed. The tickets are already sold.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I mean, god, I just for our own well being
and our own mental health.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
You want to picket, do what the union unions do?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And what good does that do?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Seems that it's still work for some there. It's just
it's it's it's despicable.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's despicable. It's disgusting what this baseball team has done.
To its fan base this year, and Jackson, I'm telling
with you, this is my least favorite year Mariner baseball
maybe ever. I mean, the two thousand and one team
fell short, but a lot of teams fall shot.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I wasn't even having fun when we were up ten
games because it was just painful to watch, and it
was it was smoking mirrors. Like I was like, dude,
are our run differentials like plus six and we're ten
games over five hundred and it's bad baseball.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Just look at the screen. Don't look at the record.
Look at the screen. It's bad baseball.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
But you thought maybe at least they'd fall to five hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Of course they played five hundred the rest of the
year and then still make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
This is a complete disaster. This all collapse.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
They're couging it, dude, They've coug it absolutely in two things.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You don't have a ten game lead.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
They've lost sixteen games in the standings to the Astros.
I mean, I can handle making the playoffs and falling.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Look at the Dodgers, for god's sakes, Dick.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
They've won a hundred games like four of the last
year yearly made the World Series one time and that
was the COVID year. That happens. That's baseball. That's why
you say anything can happen come playoff time. But to
not even give these guys a shot to perform in
the postseason, it's just the whole thing is freaking gross man,
just gross. All right, we're gonna break a little fun
with audio at three forty five, Will Rogers you dub
(18:54):
Let's talk about what we saw from the Dodge. Next
on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Softie and Dick Gone, your home for the
Huskies and the Kruken Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ R FM.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Hey, don't forget Tomorrow Factor Fiction begins right here on
this radio station. Let me see if I know the times, Jackson,
off the top of my head. It's been the same
four times right for the last time, many every years.
Yea seven thirty five, eleven thirty five, two thirty five,
three thirty five.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Nail it.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
God, I'm so coach.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Tomorrow Factor Fiction, brought to you by the emeral Quinck Casino,
starts here on the air.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I'm preparing.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, well, that's one college game I got my eye
on that.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I love, by the way.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That game right there, that game right there.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
We'll see if somebody takes it.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Don't say anything, don't tell the people.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
But every day we give you four games.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
If you get one of them right, you're eligible for
the thousand dollars weekly prize. The most picks right by
the end of the year will win ten grand courtesy
of the ameral Qui Casino.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
All you gotta do is just wait.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
At those times I said you'll have is it five
minutes Jackson to text in?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I want to say it's twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Twelve minutes good, twelve minutes to text in factor fiction
to four, nine, four or five one. For example, if
Dick Fane or whoever were to go on the year
tomorrow and say I like Colorado plus the seven against
Nebraska this weekend, then you would either a text in
fact there be fiction to four nine four, five to one,
and then you wait and see and if you're win
and you're in the hopper for the weekly prize and
(20:30):
you're getting your your win counted towards your overall score,
most picks right by the end of the year win
ten thousand bucks. Courtesy of the equ See can't wait
for that to start tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Oh, it's gonna be fun. I think this this week.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I was just telling you in the NFL there are
ten games ten where the line is two and a half,
three or three and a half. That is how parody
baby shruncated just squish to the middle of the NFL
is right now with very few great teams, bad teams,
and we're probably gonna see that all all season long.
(21:02):
But I also think that the books are trying to
protect themselves a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah, they're not trying to grind a big limb.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And you know, put anybody to seven and a half
or an eight or eight and a half points spread
in one week.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, it's hard to bet week one of anything because
you don't really know a lot obviously. But here's what
we got Will Rodgers coming up at about four point
thirty today on the radio show, courtesy of our friends
at Might Lake Futures. We'll talk to Will about everything
that we saw in the Husky game over the weekend.
And look, I mean, I just I don't know. I
don't want to sit here and say, oh they look great, man,
They're gonna be awesome. Yeah, Final Four, Boss Blah, I
(21:32):
just kind of, you know, equate games like this to
NFL preseason games. You know, I said that to Ian
and the Cross Talks segment that at least it wasn't
a complete disaster. You know, Quinton Moore got hurt on
the knee injury. We'll see where his status is, and
of Jed said today he may not be out longer
than a couple of weeks, and they need him. I mean,
not that Quinton Moore is the world's greatest tight end,
(21:53):
but they got nothing at tight end. I mean, they
got lot To, who's skinnier than you, by the way,
they got Decker to who had the touchdown over the week,
And I wonder if Quentin Moore is gonna be out
for a while. If they met, he's probably out for
the next two or three weeks still, I mean he
was he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Even suited up for the game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Ryan At you're talking about Katon, his brother, so I
have no idea what his status is. He's been banged
up for a long time now, so there's not much there.
They might eventually move somebody to that position, Dick, just
to get some depth at that spot.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
But that's a concern for you.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Dub.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
The offensive line I thought played okay. You know, they
made some moves. Obviously, they had Koch at right tackle,
he knock at right guard. They had Landing Hatchet at
right guard. They had as a party at tackle, as
a party at the right tackle, the left tackle, And
I swear to God, there is a drive and somebody
please go back and check this for me that the
(22:45):
first play of the fourth drive of the game, they
had as a party at right tackle and on second
down they had him at left tackle. They literally switched
him during the same drive to a different spot unless
he went to the wrong spot, which is certainly possible.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
But I just think Swane is so light in the
in the butt.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You know, short, he's he's a he's he's a pretty
skinny dude for playing left tackle as a red shirt freshman.
So I think you're still looking for a combination of
five guys that works. And I would expect all that
tickering to continue against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well, I'm gonna put more stock in it than a
preseason NFL game, that's for sure, because a preseason NFL
game I put zero.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Stock in so you put like a scale of one
to ten, NFL preseason a zero, there's a one.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, No, I mean if NFL preseason games a zero
and a conference game for the Huskies is a seven,
and a championship games of ten, still a three or
a four?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Man right, Well, I maybe it's a two.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I mean, I still think you can you can tell
against Weaver State right away where you feel good and
where you don't feel good. And I'll tell you what
Jonah Coleman can run against anybody.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I don't know if the holes will be as big
against some other teams, but from what I saw from
that guy, and I came away from that guy thinking,
all right, when was the last time I saw a
Husky running back with that type of talent. I'm not
talking about you know, Husky legend status, Miles Gasking, ranking
(24:22):
up yards, Bishop Sankey racking. No, no, no, I'm talking about
NFL talent. It has been a long long time. And
that's the best debut of our lifetime for a Husky
running back. I mean, from a puer yardage stand sure,
it's the best debut we've seen.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
That guy is the real deal.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Well and part of it's the portal obviously, because you know,
before the last couple of years, when you talk about
date hues, he's talking about freshmen, right or transfers from
like FCS schools or whatever at junior colleges. I mean,
for me, like you know, you just look at raw talent.
I mean, Corey Dillon comes to mind, obviously, and that
was thirty years ago, right. But the thing about Johnna
Coleman is that we already knew that Jonah Coleman was legit.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I didn't think he was this shifty though. Yeah, I
did not think he had the footwork that he has
coming to spring ball.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I think he showed a lot of that, but obviously
there's no tackling for the most part.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So now you're seeing it against an FCS team.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That was the biggest thing obviously from a standpoint of wow,
that you took from the game on Saturday. No question,
I think Jonah Coleman's going to be good. I just
don't know what this offensive line dick is all about.
I mean, I'm still kind of waiting to see did
the like, do you watch the way the line performed
against Weber State and go, okay, when they play Michigan.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
In a month from now.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I now feel better about them against Michigan than I
did four days ago because of the way they played
against Weber State.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I don't feel like that at all.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Well, I think if they struggled to run the ball,
they struggled the passer tech a little bit.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
They did, but they also don't have.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
A quarterback to escape at all. I mean Will Rogers,
if you that was the disappointment. I mean, I thought
Will Rogers was fine, but there's no elusiveness there at all,
and we're just used to it list seeing it least
a little bit of elusiveness from the quarterbacks. I mean
like Pennix had some, Gino has some, you know, and
then he had Demon Williams in there, and he's got
(26:09):
a ton either. Just wasn't a lot of a lot
of elusiveness there. But you know, I think if we
would have struggled to run the football and open up
holes against Weaver State, I would have been very concerned.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
And there was no trouble with that at all.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
And when watching the Cougar game and all I hear
Cougar fans talking about, oh we don't miss cam Ward.
I had I had dudes tweet, Wow, we don't miss
Cam mord We scored seventy points. Yeah, you tell that
to Florida that you didn't miss Cam Ward. The Cougars
gave up to what two hundred and fifty yards to rushing.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
To Portland State.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, I'm giving that ball to Jonah Coleman thirty plus
times in that Apple Come.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
How many of those yards though, came when the game
was out of control.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I had no idea. I didn't watch the game. I
don't I know you scored fifty in the first half.
I watched so that I watched.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
The first quarter of that game when it was still
somewhat of a game, and the first thing that jumped
out to me was how small the Cougar defensive front.
I was like, wow, there is no beef on that
defensive line. So if all you need to do is
run the ball to Jonah Coleman and Cam Davis and
just pound pound pound pound pound, I am totally cool
(27:12):
with that game claim here.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I think I think the Cougar game is more
of a problem than people are letting it out to be.
To be honest with you, I think there's a lot
of people that think that you dubb is going to
walk through Washington State, and I don't believe that.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And I didn't believe that a week ago.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I told you that guy's on the air that this
is going to be a bigger challenge for Washington than
people think. And look, I mean, Texas Tech, they're gonna
be a little more battle tested than you, dub Is,
because you Dub's got a Mac team this weekend. They
played Texas Tech this Saturday in Pulman. This Johnny Mattier guy,
he's no joke. I mean, he can move, he can run,
he can throw. And when Cougar fans say I don't
(27:45):
miss cam Ward, I think it's just because they him
and his attitude. They thought they had a guy with
a bad attitude in cam Ward. You know the way
I feel about cam Ward. I picked him to win
the Heisman Trophy at Miami. I thought he looks sensational,
amazing against Florida. But Florida is also a team that
may have their coach fire before November. Cops right for
crying out loud, So I mean, look, hey again, at
least it wasn't a complete disaster for the offensive line. Decent,
(28:08):
not great starting point for them. I agree with your
take on the secondary. I said this on the pregame
show on Saturday. I thought the secondary was the best
part of the defense going in and I believe that now.
It was interesting hearing Millan talk about Durfy. He was
a little tentative in the game. And if Zach Durfy
cannot play that way, then he's got a chance to
be their best pass rusher. But again, let's see what
(28:29):
happens this weekend against Eastern Michigan. I think Christian Kpo
was talking him the sideline as the game was wrapping
up over the weekend. I think he's exactly right. If
they go three and Ohero, that's a legit win over Wazoo.
If they get to three and o, that's not just day.
Let's just take Wazoo and just chalk up and win.
If they can pull that off, that means good things
for you, dub to come. We're gonna break a little
fun with Audio coming next, and then Will Rogers will
(28:51):
join us at four point thirty right here on ninety
three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's now time for Suday in Dick's One with Audio
g pull and starred Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
All righty, here we go on a busy Monday, Labor
Day Monday, from the emeral quinc Casino right here on
ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Stephen Susi joining us at five.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Well, Rogers Husky quarterback at four thirty curtsy amount like futures.
Time for a little fun with audio slash. Hey did
you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Let's start in college football. Great game last night from Vegas,
LSU usc usc with a come from behind win, and
LSU head coach Brian Kelly very angry at his press
conference last night after his Tigers lost to USC on
a late touchdown in Las Vegas.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
We're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about
the same things about not finishing when you have an
opponent in a.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Position to put them away.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
But what we're doing on the sideline is feeling like
the game's over, and I'm so angry about it that
I got to do something about it. I'm not doing
a good enough job as a coach, and I got
to coach him better because it's unacceptable for us not
to have found a way to win this football game.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It's ridiculous. Got it just started.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So John McClaren esque, yes, that whole thing, like he
was reading it off a teleprompter. And I'm glad he
said it was his problem, because I was gonna say
that sounds like a you problem, Brian. If your team's
on the sideline again acting like they've won the game again, well,
the only common threat is you. Those players change every year, right, Yes,
sounds like a Brian Kelly prop.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Well he lost the same way last year in the
first game to Florida State on this field. Go on
believe in the same game, the Sunday night National TV game,
And you know.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I thought it was great.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
There was somebody tweeted out that Brian Kelly was so
angry last night that he forgot to use his Southern accent.
I remember he had the here's the thing, welcome, Oh,
we love y'all here in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
This guy's won ten games a year for seven years
in a row. I mean, he's a good coach, but
there's a difference between the good coaches and the elite coaches.
And I remember that list that came out that had
the top coaches in college football.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
He wasn't on it, like top five, top six.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
What's he done in big time games? Nothing? Nothing?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I mean when you have guys like Steve Sarkejian ranked
ahead of you and Dan Lanning, who, by the way,
also has done nothing in big time games, but hasn't
had the chance to prove it the way this guy has,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
No, but again, hasn't had the opportunities.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I mean, this guy's had opportunities in big time games
going back to twenty ten, going back to two thousand
and eight, sixteen, seventeen years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
What's that?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (31:41):

Speaker 1 (32:52):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Dick? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
During last week seven PM in Brooklyn podcast, Carmelo Anthony
talked about how NBA players feel about Seattle and the
NBA expanding.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
It's smart to do Seattle, Like Seattle have history, but
it's like legacy is tradition, like for that to just
be cut off like that, and like their identity goes
directly to Oklahoma City, like you know what I'm saying,
Like Seattle have a rich history when it comes to
what they contributed to this NBA.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
What is it about Seattle as a player that you.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Like, Seattle got his own vibe and when sports was popping,
like when basketball was popping out the NBA, it was
nice to go travel to Seattle like it was good
energy out there. Would you revent the whole thing or
would you just bring back the Seattle SuperSonics, same jersey because.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Jerseys was hard.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Yeah, you gotta keep all of that, all the old joints.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
Can't come with a new color in Seattle. Seattle needs
to be back. Players want Seattle back. Players that understand
that they want Seattle back.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
If they give the NBA two new teams and one
of them is not Seattle, there's going to be an
uproar from current and former players because I guarantee you
this current players having to go to Oklahoma City over
Seattle is not anything anybody in always doing.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
It's brutal.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Have you guys been there, by the way, I've been
at Oklahoma City, Jackson, have you been there?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Remember when uh Sea Bass cam Neely in the bathroom
and dumb and dumber?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Remember that as Sea Bass. That's the way it is.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Do you think about all these cliches and like stereotypes.
That's the way it is. Place is a dump man.
There's not one NBA player Are you kidding me? With
the money they have to spend, the bling they want
to show off, and the women they want to hang
out with that wants to go to Oklahoma City, which
I promised you that.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Which is why Sam Presty, as much as we don't
like him, is doing exactly what he needs to do.
I mean that was that is collect as many first
round draft picks over a decade as you can and
lock these guys up. Shay Gilgess, Alexander Chad Holmgren. Lock
these guys up because you drafted them, because you know
they're not going to stick around when they're getting.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Ready to make them past.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Oh, we got time for one more Jackson, one more?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Scottie Scheffler won the tour champion and ship. But he's
like yesterday by four strokes, taking home twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Is that right? Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
But his post round press conference, one reporter tried to
ask Scotty about one of his worst shots of the week,
when he shanked the shot out of a bunker on
the eighth hole on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
What happened on that shot out of the bunker?
Speaker 9 (35:18):
Shanked it?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Why did you shake it?
Speaker 9 (35:21):
So there's a the club like, there's this straight part
of the face and then never hears the hozzle And
on that one specifically, I caught too much of that
part of the face.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Then that's why I went to the right.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
So it's shaped kind of, you know, a little curve.
And then so I tell you, if I hit the
straight part, it's gonna go that way I drink, and
then if I hit this part, it's gonna come you know,
towards you.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I know, this season.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Thank you so good. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Good for him, I mean, we need to see some
personality from him, yeah, because it's gotten really boring watching
him win tournaments by five and six shots.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
The problem is is that once he starts like losing,
and then he just comes right back, and then he
starts to dominate, and then he steps back and then
he dominates again. I mean, he is so far and
away the best thing going in golf right now as
far as a player. It's ridiculous, but you're right, he
is the face of golf. I mean, the golf world
has been looking for the next face after Tiger Wood
stepped aside, and it's now Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Nobody else can sustain this the way he can. It's unbelievable.
All Right, we're gonna break. Will Rogers will join us
at four thirty steven Sue's at five on a Labor
Day Monday from the Emerald Queen right here on ninety
three three KJRFM
