So hopefully you're okay with that.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
You know, I'm gonna struggle getting through this show, I think.
But well, we'll do our best. Well, you know, we'll
make bold pronouncements today, you know, just just for the
sake of it.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Let's just make some proclamations about things across the league.
That's what we do. And you you look fantastic, by
the way, with a tie on today. You must have
just shot the matchup show.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
We did shoot the matchup show a little earlier today,
and I wanted to keep the tie on, you know,
just I did unbutton the top button so I can
actually breathe, Yes, because I think breathing is a good thing,
you know, So I did that, but I wanted to
keep the tie on.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
You look good. I love it all right, Greg cosel
with us. We teased this last week. We spent all
that last week talking about the Rams Seahawks matchup, and
Greg said, as we ended, I'm sure we'll spend some
time talking about this game before we even get to
Tennessee and Seattle, which I would think that will be
the case. Let's do that right now, Greg, Why I'm
I mean, I guess in a lot of ways an

(04:01):
entertaining game. If you watch the Rams Seahawks last Sunday,
you know, even whether Seahawks fan or Rams fan or
just an NFL fan across the country, a two point
game with four interceptions, Seattle still have a chance to
win at the end. We'll get into specifics, but when
you're watching that, and especially looking at the tape later,
what kind of jumped out at you? Obviously the interceptions,
but I know there's more to it than that.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, it was a game where,
quite frankly, those things did. Those plays matter a lot
because I thought the Seahawks defense played very well for
the most part. I mean, they really held down the
Rams passing game, which had really been humming. You know,
Stafford was efficient, but not really special in this game.

(04:41):
There were a couple of runs by Williams. I think
he had two longer runs, but other than that, and
those count, don't get me wrong, but other than that,
the run game was not a big factor. Look, the
reality is the Seahawks controlled the football. They ran seventy
nine offensive plays, and they controlled the ball for most
of the game. The Rams not run that many plays relative,

(05:02):
you know, what is normal in an NFL game. You know,
they were only the other issue besides the interceptions, which
was key. And you always have to look at all
these plays individually, and you know that, and that's how
I feel, whether it's interceptions, whether it's sacks, whether it's
red zone And I was gonna make the point. The
Seahawks were only one for four with the red zone
t d efficiency and that turned out to be a

(05:23):
defining factor in the game. They had had been sixty
eight percent touchdown efficiency coming into the Rams game, so
you know, those things really stood out. But I think
their defense has been playing really well. Look, the Rams
ran fifty offensive plays. That's it. So you know when
when a team runs fifty offensive plays and they were
only two for eleven or third down conversions. There was

(05:47):
a lot of pressure in this game that the Seahawks
put on Stafford. They rushed five or more on almost
half of his dropbacks, and the corollary to that was
that they played a lot more man cover they played
their highest percentage of cover one since the first week
of the season. You know, these were all things I
noticed watching the tape, because you know how I do it.
I watched the tape and then I go look at numbers.

(06:09):
I don't look at numbers first. I let the tape
tell me what's happening, and then I go from there.
But you know, these were all things I noticed watching
the tape.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, and I you know, a lot of us here
in Seattle kind of came away greg more encouraged even
though they lost. So the NFL is a results based business.
I mean, you play seventeen games, it's about winning and losing,
but there are is That's why we have guys like
you on. That's why we have you on every Friday,
or we have Hugh Millan on. Because the nuances of
a game sometimes do tell you bigger picture stories, I think,

(06:40):
and in this case, what you just said, that Seahawk
defense holding them, the rams down, the third down conversion
rate really low. Stafford, you know, throwing for less than
two hundred yards. I mean, everything about that was good.
The interceptions though, and I don't want to focus all
on the quarterback, but we do need to talk about
Sam Darnold, then yeah, And I want to get to
the red zone two and the red zone as well, Greg,

(07:02):
because the red zone the narrative with Donald, you know,
the big game stuff the two games last year, obviously
the Lions in the Rams playoff game. But if I
go back and you just you brought up red zone.
I think that's an important part maybe where we start.
We can get into the interceptions as well. But Greg,
that was a problem in that Lions game, was it not?
The red zone inefficiency with Donald in that offense last year.
I don't know if there were similarities to that or not,

(07:23):
but you've got to score in the red zone.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Well, I think you know, again, you have to look
at each one of those plays individually. Like I'll give
you an example, like third and goal from the three
yard line late in the second quarter. The Rams took
away the play design with good defense. It was a
two man route concept with a high low element. Cup
Ran the shallow crosser, Arroyo the inbreaker at the back
of the end zone. They took that away, and then

(07:47):
what happened where Donald couldn't really get to anything else
and there wasn't really much else to get to it
was kind of a two man concept. It's the defensive tackle.
Kobe Turner physically handled Zabel and he pressured Donald, forcing
him out of the pocket into an incompletion. So you
have to look at individual plays. There's usually not some
thematic you know, overview people want to say, well, what's

(08:09):
wrong with the team in the red zone or you know,
there's usually not one thing that speaks to all this.
You have to look at the plays. It's like the interceptions,
and if there's any that stood out to you, I'd
be happy to go over them. But you can't just
look at, you know, at a stat I mean, obviously,
the cumulo stow was, hey, they were one for four
in the red zone. The cuminalstaw was that Donold did
throw four picks. So when you see that, I'm sure

(08:31):
people maybe who didn't see the game, or or are
just watching the game on TV at the same time
they're talking to their friends or whatever. You know, they
see these numbers and they think that, oh man, that's
they're terrible in the red zone. Well, you got to
look at the plays. And I've always believed that about
pretty much everything. That's why I watched the tape. But
that was just an example, you know, where the Rams
took away what they wanted to do and then Zabel

(08:54):
got handled by Turner and it resulted in incompletion and
they had to kick a field goal.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Well, I think that's a great way on that for
a second, because that's as you said, look at the
individual play, people will say, oh my gosh, what was
Donald doing. You know, Donald throws an incomplete pass on
third and goal and they got this opportunity and all
that Zabel gets beat. The concept wasn't conducive to having
success against that defense. What you're telling me is the

(09:20):
quarterback in this case, Sam Donald really was kind of
out of options right.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
On that play because they took it away and then
because then of the pressure, he didn't really have much
to do. He ran out of the pocket and you
know he had to throw it away basically because you
don't want to throw throw it. Obviously an interception in
the red zone. But yeah, I mean that's you know,
like I said, you have to look at these plays.
I mean I thought, look, if you want to talk
about a couple of interceptions, I'll be happy to. But again,

(09:46):
those you have to look at, you know, you know
how it is with Sam Donald, right, he throws four picks. Now,
people are pretty much I'm sure at certain people, I
never think like this because that's not the way I'm built.
You know, I watched the tape, but I'm sure a
lot of people are like, oh, Donald was dark in
this game. You know, you have to look at the plays.
You can't just you know, see four interceptions and assume that, oh, well,
Donald was terrible. You know, you have to you have

(10:09):
to watch that stuff and see what happened.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
There were four of them. The jump the jump ball one,
uh just was one of those plays he probably am
sure a thousand times would want back. Maybe I don't.
Maybe we don't look at that.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
I don't know which the last one, yeah, the last
one where he jumped, Yeah, yeah, that was just that
was one where that was as bad a decision as
a veteran quarterback.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
You know.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Well, actually it was kitchen second interception in the third
quarter that was that was just tough for Donald. The
one that he tried to hit Royo. Seen you remember
that one? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah? Which which?

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I mean, which which one kind of would you break
down the most? Which one was? Maybe I don't know,
if if I want to say, you know, it wasn't
really they're all his fault, I assume, But which one
kind of jumped out at you? Which one was the best?
With talking points? With all four?

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Oh, I think there's two of them that I thought
were really interesting. The first one was it was Donald,
you know, did not handle that. Well, let's leave that
one alone. But I thought that the Durant interception was
was really an interesting play because what happened was it
was a double stunt by the Rams. They stunned more

(11:15):
than any team in the league. And what happened was
as Young as the looper, and he got in clean
through the B gap, so he put pressure on Donald
and Durant. He just played the pressure. He anticipated that
the pressure would get there, and so he did not
really turn and run versus Smith and Jigba, and he
sort of stayed and planted and jumped the outcut by

(11:39):
Smith and Jigba. And that's a tough throw versus off
coverage from the far hash. So it's a tough throw.
And then as soon as he threw it, he just
got drilled by Young. But you know, that's just one
of those tough throws. Then the interception by Kitchens. That
was the second one we're talking about now, on first
and twenty in the third quarter. It was a bad decision,

(12:02):
but I under you know, I try to understand what
a quarterback's thinking. That's what I try to do. You
never know for sure in because I don't know what's
in his head, right, but you know, he tried to
throw the bender to Arroyo. Okay, my guess is he
thought it was Cover two, which it had a Cover
two element to it, but the linebacker spades. What he

(12:22):
did is he carried Arroyo. So normally in Cover two,
the hook defender doesn't carry that seam, but he carried Arroyo,
so he was basically on his hip. And the really
cool part of that play if you're a defensive coach,
was that Forbes, who was the outside corner, pushed the
receiver and I forget who it was now, pushed the

(12:42):
outside receiver to the sideline. And the reason that's important
because Kitchens was a a half field Cover two defender.
So because Forbes did what he did, Kitchens did not
have to expand laterally to the sideline, worrying about the
number one receiver getting vertical so he could stay right

(13:02):
on his landmark inside and just be sitting there waiting
for that throw. So, you know, Mike, I type, did
Darnald think Spas would not carry our oio and that
Kitchens would expand my guess as he thought both those
things based on his sense of what cover two normally
looks like. And neither one of those things happened.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Greg. When it's all said and done again, we live
in a world of you know, proclamations and declarations and
narratives and everything else in sports, sports radio, sports fandom,
sports commentary. Does everything you do is based on watching tape?
So you've watched Sam Darnold tape now a lot for

(13:42):
us this year and for others across the country. Does
anything change in terms of your impressions of Sam Darnald?

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Well, no, I think, And again, is there any coach
that would, you know, loves interceptions? Of course not, although
I know coaches that are offensive minded and are aggressive.
They they they're not okay with interceptions, but they understand them.
And Darnold is an aggressive mindset thrower, and that's one
of the things that makes him who he is and

(14:08):
one reason why he's played extremely well the last two years,
and you know you obviously want to channel that at times.
You certainly want him to have an understanding of the coverage,
but you don't want to take that away from him.
You know, you don't want to turn him into a
guy that's risk averse because you know you've seen this year,
I mean, how many balls he pushes down the field

(14:29):
and makes great throws. You know you don't want to
take that's who he is now is every once in
a while he's going to make a bad one or
have a game like he did against the Rams, who,
by the way, are I believe the second best defense
in the National Football League and the best defense in
the NFC and have really good players at all three levels.
So you know, it's a really good defense and a

(14:50):
really well schemed defense by Chris Shula, who's doing a
terrific job. So it's not as if they were playing
a bad defense. So you know, once in a while,
quarterbacks are aggressive. You know, Kurt Warner talks about this
a lot. You know, we've had this conversation where you know,
you talk about, you know, you want quarterbacks to be aggressive.
You know, that's you don't want them to not turn

(15:12):
the ball loose. You know, I've always said Ian that
there's not a metric with all the metrics that are
out there now, and some of them might and I'm
being honest, I don't even know what they mean. But
with all the metrics, there's no metric for balls that
should be thrown that aren't thrown. And you don't want
to be a quarterback that's not throwing balls that should
be thrown because that ends up hurting your offense a lot.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, no doubt, Greg co sail brought to by Salessider
one of the things that did jump out of me
in that game. On a positive note for the Seahawk offense,
we've been you and I've been talking about this for weeks,
Hugh and I talked about it on Mondays as well.
Ken Walker got more touches and got more involved in that. Yeah,
and he got more involved in the passing game as
well than he has been all season long. Greg and
I A lot of those are two really good signs

(15:56):
to see ken Walker get a lot more involve over
one hundred yards from scrimmag when it was all said
done and effective in both the passing and running game.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
And the reason I look we've talked about Kenneth Warker.
We don't need to reiterate the same points that he
does have a tendency to bounce instead of hitting it out.
But the point is he's an explosive player and he
brings an explosive element to your offense, and you want
that out there. I'm not saying there's no place for Sharboney.
I mean he's a tough physical runner, Sharbone. He doesn't
have any juice, but he's a tough physical runner, and

(16:25):
there's places for him in a game. But boy, you
really want Kenneth Walker to be out there, and you'd
love to see him get even more involved in the
past game because he's a space guy. When he gets
into space, you really see the juice that he has,
and that adds another element because and of course we
would expect it's only been two games. Maybe the fans
are clamoring, but it's only been two games. But you

(16:47):
would expect Shaheed to become even more of a factor
as time goes on, and he certainly has the juice
and the ability to get vertical.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Well, they're going to do that today this weekend. On Sunday,
they take on the Tennessee Titans. Boy, how about going
from one extreme to the other. You go from the
Los Angeles Rams arguably the best team in the NFC,
and right now they look like and see how maybe
number two, to be honest with you, but they go
now to an AFC team that is one in nine
coach issues issues all the way across. They do have

(17:15):
some guys up front defensively that might might be a concern,
but boy, Tennessee, that's a heck of a drop off
in terms of what you're going to see competition level.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Yeah, and just one quick point. I mean you probably
remember the play where he just under threw literally by
a foot Shaheed on that fade route. That would have
been a touchdown. Y. You know, so in games like that,
those things happen. You know, It's funny how they don't
happen when things are going great. You throw at that
extra foot in a game like that, you don't throw
at the extra foot and it's not a touchdown. But anyway,

(17:44):
I'll tell you what about Tennessee. I watched their tap
against Houston, and obviously you know Davis Mills. And by
the way, Davis Mills is an NFL quarterback he's not
just one of those bad backups. He's an NFL quarterback.
But Tennessee last week against Houston, they were as aggressive
with blitz and pressure as they've been all season. Denard
Wilson is their DC. He would like to be aggressive.

(18:06):
He hasn't been much this year because my senses. He's
worried about his corners because that's probably a weakness in
their defense. But they were super aggressive last week and
they played really good defense. And they've got Jeffrey Simmons,
and Jeffrey Simmons you'll see this week he's a man's
man now. I mean, this guy is really a good player.
You know, they don't really do they have great players

(18:28):
on defense other than Simmons. No, they've got some solid players.
They played the rookie Kevin Winston, the safety from Penn State,
first time. He started and played every snap, and I
think he's going to be a good player. You'll notice
in me. And because he's long, he's athletic, he's interchangeable.
He can play in the back end, he can play
in the box. He's physical, he's competitive. You'll notice him
on the field. But you know, Tennessee doesn't score very much.

(18:51):
Right now, and they'll struggle to score against this team. Look,
Tennessee's playing with a rookie quarterback, rookie receivers, a rookie
tight end, almost no run game, and an O line
that has not played at all up to its pedigree,
not at all.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
What do you see from cam Warden?

Speaker 4 (19:10):
You know, I kind of like cam ward I think
that he still needs to understand the speed of the
NFL game. You know, you where you are, you probably
see a ton of college football, and you know you
have for years, and the game is just different. And
you know, for instance, when he drops back, it's too leisurely.
I mean, he needs to get get back, plant that

(19:30):
foot and get ready to throw it. You know, he
just needs to pick up his pace in sort of
everything he does. But he makes some throws where you go, oh,
that's an NFL throw now, And I thought early in
the season he was chasing plays. You know, he's trying
to make throws that you know, I'm sure he made
at the University of Miami and you probably remember Hi
from Washington State. You know, he is an aggressive thrower.

(19:54):
He moves, he tries to make plays. But you know,
in this league, you can't chase plays. You've got to
take the plays that are presented, and you know, I
think that's something he's still learning as well. I'm going
to be so anxious because I happened to do radio
with Tennessee as you may know in Nashville. I'm so
anxious to see who they hire as a coach because
I think there's a lot there with cam Ward and

(20:16):
I think you almost have to start from scratch a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
You said that the offensive line hasn't lived up to
his pedigree, So is that offensive line? Is there something
there they just haven't fulfilled their potential? Like I mean,
is there pieces to build around cam Ward?

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Well, you know, they drafted JC Latham, whose college tape
I thought was great coming out of Alabama, and he
played left tackle last year as the rookie and was
not very good. So they moved him back this year
to his normal right tackle spot and paid a lot
of money for Dan Moore from Pittsburgh. And Latham has
not been good and Moore has not been good. You know,
they're not very good in one on one pass protection,

(20:49):
so you know when you're not good, And even Christian Berry,
who they signed from Denver, you know, missed most of
last year with it. I believe in Achilles was it.
He's not been as good. I hadered to hear just
randomly a press conference where he even said, you know,
I haven't been very good. I mean they haven't been
very good, you know. So it's that also places a

(21:10):
tremendous burden on cam Ward. But they just they just
have not lived up to what was expected.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
All I know is I expect excellence from Greg Cosel
every Friday at one o'clock, and I get every Friday
at one o'clock. I get excellence. I get nothing short
of excellence. Even without Jessman here, we still got through
this today. Greg. How about that?

Speaker 4 (21:30):
I mean, by the way, it was very anxious against
just one quick point. I was very anxious against the
thirteen personnel that the Rams played. And obviously they played
a few fewer snaps because they only had fifty offensive
snaps total, but they still played about forty percent of
thirteen personnel with three tight ends. The Seahawks kept em
and Oriy on the field and played big Nickel. So

(21:51):
he's not going to come off the field, and nor
do I think he should.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
No, Eman arr Is a ton of fun to watch.
I just it's and I can't wait. You know, they'll
play without Julia Love, which is I think it's a
I know Ocad has played okay at times, but Julian Loves.
He's a pro bowler, right Like, They're going to get
better when they get him back here in a week
or two. So, and it is interesting. There's some guys
that kind of are holding out. Zabel's okay, by the way,
so you know he avoided We all kind of thought

(22:14):
the worst like that just screamed ACL when he got
rolled up on there. But it looks like Zabel's gonna
be okay. Christian Haynes will replace him, and we'll see
what happens. By the way, I'm giving you the week
off next week, at least next Friday off because we're
off the air next week, so we'll talk to you
in two weeks.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
How's that you're up the air next week? I mean,
what am I going to do?

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Ian?

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well, listen, you've talked to a zillion people across the country.
You're not going to miss little old kJ R and Seattle.
I know that.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
I look forward to talking with you every week.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
All right, here we go, Danie O'Neill joining us on
a Friday afternoon. Dang apostrophe, the best damn sports writing
you'll get out of New York City talking about Seattle sports.
There's not even a close number two. There may not
be a number two. Hi, Danny, how are you.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
I'm good. I'm one of one.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
You are one of One's love you.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
We love you.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
That's why we have you on every week. My friend,
all right, let's get to it. Uh, we've all had
a wee, you know, five days to kind of soak
it all in. What happens. Seahawks lose and heartbreaking fashion.
We see Sam Donald throw the four interceptions, et cetera.
Some thoughts, some takeaways. A few days later, my friend.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
Well, I hope everybody has has sort of moved away
from the panic about Sam Darnold because I actually think
that while that game certainly showed sort of the worst
possible performance he can have, and I do think that
there are issues when he gets under pressure, they played

(24:47):
so well that, I mean, even with the four interceptions,
if not for one of the best punts I've ever seen,
I really think that the Seahawks win that game. So
I know, I know that the temptation was to say,
oh man, I know that the temptation is to feel like, man,
the clock strikes midnight and he's gonna turning to a pumpkin.

(25:09):
But I really think that you survived or showed that
you're right there with one of the very best teams
in the NFL, even when he had one of his
worst games. I don't think he's going to play that
bad again for the Seahawks this year.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
No.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
We just had great Cosell on a moment ago and
he kind of walked through it. There's a couple of
plays where you know, play design was bad in the
red zone and you know the one, I mean the
one play Bradford just got blown up. He missed a
stunt and ends up going over to help Lucas who
didn't need help. And you know, there was things like
that that happened along the way, and I chalk it
up to two really good teams that went toe to toe.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
Danny.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
To be honest with you, I mean, it's it's weird
we come with the NFL is about results. We all
get that, but like there's a lot of things in
that game that could have happened when we come away going,
oh boy, maybe they're not as close as we thought
they were. I came away, and I think most people
in this market came away pretty positive. One was all
said and done.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Yeah, that's the way I feel that in those sort
of showdowns you can have results. I remember watching when
the Seahawks played the forty nine ers on Thanksgiving a
couple of years ago. You saw this dramatic demonstration of Okay,
Seahawks aren't in the same category, they're not in the
same class. Ye, this wasn't one of those games at all,

(26:18):
and I recognize. I think there's still some uncertainty. Is
Sam Darnald your long term quarterback. I'm not sure about that.
I think it's more likely now than I did at
the beginning of the season, because I think he's played
really well for most of the year. When he is
under pressure, he can tend to make some bad decisions.
We certainly saw two of those, the one where he

(26:40):
threw off his back foot and the other jump pass.
Those were two terrible decisions made under pressure. But there's
nothing from that game that makes me feel like, oh man,
like the Seahawks just they might make the playoffs this year,
but that's that's as much as they can expect. They
played really well, and that punt they must win if
not for that stupid punt. That's stupid. Hit the ground

(27:04):
at the two. Was it six inches from hitting the pilon?
It hits the pilon, It comes out to the twenty.
Stupid freaking punch.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
And the funny thing is like the officials kind of
gave Seattle a break because they could have put it
on the one inch line, like they put it on
the half yard line. I mean, it literally was on
the half inch line. It's it's might be more difficult
than a hole in one, Like you could kick that
same punt a hundred times and probably never ever have
that same result. You could hit a golf ball if

(27:32):
that was a golf hole, and you could probably roll
it in there more often from one hundred from the
same I mean, it's just that was what was remarkable
about it.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
Yeah, it was. It was. It was the best worst
punt I've ever seen. Yeah, most impressive, most devastating, Like,
how the hell did that happen? I didn't think of
it until now, but you really could have you could
have had almost the entire ball in the end zone
and just the nose boop over the end of it.
Hugh Miller jack Mount Sie High School.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Oh God, oh god, Well did we just go back
to the Notre Dame game? Is that what we just did?

Speaker 6 (28:08):
It's still it's still one of my favorite things that
anyone in Seattle sports radio has ever done, which was
you getting out of tire Jack to demonstrate quite accurately
the distortion that camera angles can by.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Was it Chris Polk? Is that who the running back was?

Speaker 6 (28:26):
That's exactly what it was. It was two thousand and nine,
and it was right before because I went to that
game at Notre Dame and then I drove with Condoda
to Indianapolis, which is where the Seahawks were playing in
More's year.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
What a weekend? What a week What a weekend? What
a weekend? Buddy?

Speaker 7 (28:43):
Like?

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Does it get much better than that? Holy cow.

Speaker 6 (28:49):
Jumada. When Condoda went to ask him a question in
the locker room, actress, they said, Bob, my name is Bob.
I worked for the Seattle It doesn't matter who you are,
just asked you a question.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
God, all right, this is why I love having Daniel
brought to you by the Northwest Halling Systems from Forklost
to Palerask. Ever's the Loland Dock equipment. We sell, rent
and service all your warehousing needs. Request to quote today
a NWHS dot com or give us a call for
two five zero five hundred. Listen there, I gotta go
down this road. There was there was some really really
unlikable Mariner teams about that same time. Any team that

(29:22):
had Richie sexon and what was that dufist that played
first base, Chris uh Casey Kotchman, you know.

Speaker 6 (29:30):
Was not likable was pretty I.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Mean, but Dard was one of the biggest asses ever.
I mean, there were some really really unlikable Mariners teams
in that era. Just everything about him was unlikable. I'm
not sure if there was a more unlikable team than
the nine Seahawks with if you have TJ that would
have been our guy would have been there. Dion Branch
was still there right more as the coach. Let's just

(29:55):
go through the list. What a miserable group of whop
and you.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
Know the the huge contract, Yeah, the black card. Yeah,
there was there were some tough things. Now, I stayed
friends with Aaron, and I think Aaron, He's here the
world a lot differently now. But yeah, that was that
was a tough year. In terms of personalities.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
My favorite guy was Lawrence Jackson low jack Uh. He
from USC who Pete didn't want on his team when
he got there, and he couldn't understand why is because
you suck, That's why Pete didn't. He barely tolerated you
in college. Fella like I, oh my god, he I've
never had never sin never before, never since. I'm trying
to think maybe I had a problem. Oh yeah, you

(30:36):
b y, you had a problem at by you. But
that's b Yu. That's different. That team between Dion Branch
and Lawrence Jackson, guys that actually listened to the radio,
watched the TV shows, our postgame shows, and all had
a problem with everything that was said about them. I
Dion Branch didn't like me, he said some stuff on
the air, and then Lawrence Jackson came up to me

(31:00):
in the back of the Seahawks meeting room, Danny and
was like something about like I had said something about
him not performing up to you know, being a first
round pick and something. And I think it was when
right when Pete got highed to go. I wonder if
he's going to keep this guy around even though he's there,
because he didn't he was a first round defensive end
that didn't get sacks. Danny, and he came up and
was like, in my face, I'm like, buddy, if you're

(31:20):
worried about me, you got bigger problems. Fella. Like what
an unlikable group of people?

Speaker 6 (31:25):
Yeah? That that is one of the telling signs is
when guys tend to fixate on the criticism that they're receiving. Yep,
it's because they don't they don't know how to handle
they don't know how to handle that sort of scrutiny
because if you're fixated on what people are saying, like,
that's really one of the least demanding parts of being

(31:48):
a professional football player. And usually you're trying to find
an outlet for the emotions that come from not being
able to do the job. And there are times that
guys get mad for good reasons.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Right or you're able to work through them.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
But when it's people just just just if if you're
spending a ton of energy in that direction, it usually
does not point to positive things going in your future.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I'm just thinking about TJ, who's yourself? I mean, yeah,
condona just a very threatening and confrontational guy. That's that's
really the guy you want to just go rip on.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
Like the the nicest, most professional guy. And then I
remember that TJ had printed out huge stats to read
them on that.

Speaker 8 (32:34):
Yeah, there were there were some crazy days that That
might have been the craziest day in Seattle sports radio
history was when the Wide Receivers show turned into.

Speaker 6 (32:46):
Complaints and a dissection on the air of what two
man coverage was.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
It was.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
It was quite incredible.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Uh so good TJ. You're just a piece, all right,
ro quick frou of all the things that happened this week.
Just a quick thought on Josh Naylor resigning. It's a
nice sign for the Mariners.

Speaker 6 (33:05):
It was a huge thing. And look, they needed to
resign him. And to me, what says more than anything
else was this was not a wait and see what
the market is. This was not a he's a he's
a piece we'd like to have back and we'll see
how things go. This was a we're elbowing our way
to the front of the line. We want him, and

(33:26):
he's going to stay a Mariner. And I don't. I
don't want to go I don't want to fall over
myself complimenting the Mariners, because that's what they should have done.
That's what a responsible baseball team does. Like Chris Rock says, like,
you don't get credit for taking care of your kids,
like you're supposed to take care of your kids. Don't
get credit for staying. You're supposed to keep a guy
like that. He's a contact hitter in the middle of

(33:49):
the order in a lineup that strikes out a time,
and he's a guy that liked hitting in Seattle. And
I'm just really grateful that the Mariners did exactly what
they should do. That carry Depoto was the budget that
he needs to go elbow his way to the front
of the line and retain a guy. And I hope
they're not done, but I was just I was really
encouraged by that.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
I was to you and I share the same thought.
It's yes, you should resign them. It's a good sign.
If you didn't, it would have been catastrophic. But I'm
not going to quite you know, throw too many bouquets
your way just yet, because you had to do that,
and they did do that, so good for them. Tell
folks about the day apostrophe, sir.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
It does come out of New York. Once a week.
You go to Danny O'Neil dot com. You enter your
email address, and then I send you emails each and
every week, sometimes with inane references to pass Seahawks teams
like the twenty nineteen. Maybe I will look at the
least likable teams that I've ever been around. Sean Diggins
makes that list. Oh well, Sean sehn Diickins is on

(34:49):
that list.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
That sounds fun. Oh, Sean, yes, right, it.

Speaker 6 (34:56):
Might be the most miserable dude that I've ever been around.
It's possible that Sean Figgins is the most miserable pro
athlete that I've ever been around. Rick Brunson comes close,
but I think it might be sicking.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Shoan Figgins is right there. Yeah, he'd be right up
there with the rest of them. All right, I'll look
forward to that. We're off Friday next week. Got an
NFL game on, So I'll talk to you two weeks time.
My friend, have a great Thanksgiving you too. That's Danny O'Neill.
We love having them on every Friday. Thanks in Northwest
Handling System to take a quick break, do litt Daily
power Play next and here said back now man peace.

(35:35):
This is the daily power Play Hockey.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
On your home for the Kraking Sports Radio ninety three
point three kJ R FM.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Sattle Crack.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
The daily power Play is brought to you by a
Kwahanda Caboda, the logest inventory of Kaboda Equipment and King County,
York daily look at the National Hockey League and the
Seattle Kraken with the infernets.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Hi dah a power player home for krackt Night three
point three KJR I Krack winners last night. We told
you about that in the headlines. Huge win. They come
from behind, get the win in the third period late
to a wait to go goal by Jayden Schwartz to
eighteen to go. I think it was Jayden short scored
so in the final three minutes held on for the win.
Nice important two points or one and one Now in

(36:27):
the four game road trip next week. Great comeback next
up there in Pittsburgh tomorrow take on side Kid Crosby
and the Pittsburgh Penguins. That game at four o'clock Pacific time,
three thirty pre game Mike Benton will be on the
pre game wonder if he's here. Is it the thirty
two or is he at? I wonder. I would assume here, okay,
but I don't know for sure. And they'll get you

(36:47):
going then early game on Sunday, right after the Seahawks
are over. Two o'clock start for the Islanders and the
Cracking to wrap up the road trip. Also here on
k Actually, tomorrow's game would be a nine to fifty games. Yes,
it is on nine to fifteen because we have a
Husky game. Correct. Two other quick notes from hockey. First
of all, you heard it in the Sarah with finally

(37:09):
something relevant Sarah Spain thing Sale Torrent to PWHL team
starts tonight. First game is up in Vancouver against the
Golden Eyes. The two expansion teams will get going there
at the P and E Pathific Colisseum up there. Their
first home game for the Torrent is a week from today,
Black Friday at Climate Pledge Arena. Okay, And just a
cool note, I think this is awesome because I got

(37:31):
to know the kid, a little bit kid young man,
a little bit Thomas Millich, who was a goaltender for
the Sale Thunmbers and they won the title a couple
three years ago. Yeah, got passed over in the draft
two times before. Finally he got drafted as a nineteen
year old. And when he did, he got picked in
the fifth round by the Winnipeg Jets only because they
won the title. The Seattle did and he went to

(37:52):
I think he liked Canada. The World Junior Championship too,
or at least a silver one. He meddled some way,
had a great year, but he was too small, got
drafted late, spent some time in the East Coast League
the jungle. That's where people like Mike Benton go and
hang out and hone their craft. Absolutely, I say that
if you haven't been in the jungle, you haven't been anywhere. Baby.
He's in the East Coast League and in the American League.

(38:13):
He got called up today by Winnipeg. He'll make his
NHL debut sometime soon, which is a really cool story. Yeah,
a good netminder, worked his ass off and kind of
a long shot to make it. Thomas Hellibuck put on
the injured list today. Connor Hellibuck, Connor Hellibuk, What did
I say? Thomas Thomas thirty two bar and grill to
Morley Captain tells me they're at the thirty two.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Okay, that means he's hungry. It does, it really does.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Much like Thomas Millich, the captain is an alum of
the Jungle the East Coast Hockey League, so good for him.
Kind of like at some point NHL team's got to
have to start figuring stuff out. Okay, because Dustin Wolf
and only Hutson had a great year last year. Celebrating
all that, Dustin wolf could have easily been the Rookie
of the Year in the NHL last year. Has been
great this year though his team sucks. His team does. Yes,

(38:59):
I don't put a lot on that. I know. I
know what I saw last year. Dustin Wolfe's good goal
tend very good and he got drafted late because wait
wait for it, he was also short. Yeah, get out
of Everett Silver Tips.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
I mean, look at one of the best goalies in
the league that is generating a lot of trade interest.
YUC Sorrows is below six feet tall, yes, or he
six feet exactly?

Speaker 3 (39:17):
I think, So what's the commercial he does? No no goals,
no goals, no goals. You don't have financial goals juice,
no goal goals, no goals. So good lead into a juice.
That's a good point. All right, that's it for the
daily power play.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
The Kracking are the Tiber home that I don't wonder
if they're home tonight? There go go go check them out.
All right, it's go funding dubers. Well, there's no hockey
this weekend, baby, because we got the Krackerer out of town. Right,
PWHL team out of town? What's today today? The twenty first? Yeah,
they're at home. Yeah, let's go Victoria tonight. All and
our favorite team is in town tomorrow now to Showere Center, Regina.

(39:57):
Oh god, the Regi Pats, Regiana Pats who played there
Berkele Katto, he played Spokane Connor Bdard Convent Dre and
you know who his teammate was, Ryker Evans. There you go, Regina.
They got Victoria tonight, Regina tomorrow. Go out and check
out the t Birds out of show Where Center. Go
support those guys as well. Why do I think seea

(40:19):
how's a guy from Regina on their system? Oh you
said evens No, but somebody there right now? I probably wrong.
I don't know. Okay, we're good. Uh, Robber angs standing
by it. We'll talk USC Oregon and all the other
big games this weekend in college football coming up next.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Now from the Star Rentals Sports to Jordan ninety three
point three k j r FM sports headlines.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
And that I was back to by Frostbrew cors. I
choose chill cracking winners last night in Chicago, three goal
third period, three to the final over the Blackhawks. Next
up tomorrow over an nine to fifty on the AM dial,
They'll take on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Third of three straight
or four straight on the road. That's because the Huskies
are playing tomorrow afternoon against the UCLA Bruin down in
the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Right here on niney three

(41:03):
point three KJR F M Koog's taking on JMU ten
o'clock in the morning. Try to provide a little bit
of a spoiler. I don't think JMU has much of
a chance for the college football playoff. They think they do.
Should be a fun game the way we go. Seahawks
injury report, The final one is out officially, Tory Horton out,
Tyrese Knight out questionable, Ernest Jones, Robbie Oots, Kenneth Walker

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Our never ending coverage of the NFL. It's time for
Ian's weekly visit with Rob Rang from foxsports dot Com,
brought to you by Farelli's Pizza on your Home for
the twelfth Man in the NFL. Sports Radio ninety three
point three kJ r FM.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
All right, here we go on a Friday afternoon, final
hour of the show and getting ready for a huge weekend.
I mean a massive weekend in college football, and that
means one thing. Our guy, Rob Rang joined us from
foxsports dot Com. He's our draft insider. You'll hear him
a lot in the spring, of course, leading up to
the draft. Also happens to work for the BC Lions. Condolences, Rob,

(42:26):
I know that you guys are hoping to get to
the Great Cup fell a little short, but nice season
anyway by BC. But Rob joins his courtesy at for
Elli's Pizza Proud to announce the launch of their toy
and coat donation drive and support of Santa's Castle that
runs through the end of next week. Effort is to
bring holiday joy to children of junior enlisted service members
throughout the PGA Sound region. What they're asking is for

(42:48):
patrons to come to Ferrelli's Pizza to bring frankly a
new unwrapped toy or new coat to one of Forrelli's
twelve locations, and all you have to do is stop
by Frellis dot com Allas Pizza dot com by the
way for locations all located in the South Sound. Great pizza,
but even better in the community. We thank them for that. Hi, Rob,
how are you.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
I'm doing very well.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
I'm good. I'm good. We got a weekend to talk about,
we got names to talk about as well. I want
to I want to do this if I can. At first,
I will get to some games in a second. But
one of the things that that is going to be
interesting this year is you know who has the number one?
Pick Sea actually taking on one to nine Tennessee this weekend.

(43:30):
And that's a team that's frankly, you know, I'm not
sure about uh, they're bad, but they already have a
quarterback they draft at number one that you know overall
last year in cam Ward, quarterbacks are always talked about
the top of a draft. The quarterbacks in this year's draft,
this year's quarterbacks, how would you describe them? And I

(43:51):
guess I don't know if they're led by Mendoza out
of Indiana, but how would you describe the quarterbacks in
this year's draft?

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Frankly disappointing, you know. And there was so much hype
about this year's quarterback class, you know, starting off with
with Arch Manning, you know, which was a little bit
premature just because of the last name and the flashes
that we had seen a year ago. But you know,
I think it's a pretty underwhelming class overall. I mean,
certainly Fernando Menoza for Indiana. I mean, the statistics are remarkable,

(44:23):
but when you really watch him on Tapian, there's a
lot of the throws that he has been asked to
make just don't translate that well to the NFL. He's
got a good arm, not an elite arm, he's got
good mobility, and he is a leader, but he's kind
of a quiet, you know, soft spoken kind of a guy,
and so there's there's concerns about him as a as

(44:45):
a as a quarterbacks that can really take a team
over the top. And that's of course what you're looking
for at number one overall. And I think that Frankly
saw the same same type of situation a year ago.
Cam Ward, of course why ends up jumping all the
way to number one overall, But I mean he played
such a backyard style of football. The Saks are going

(45:05):
to see it up close and personal, of course this weekend,
and that hasn't translated very well to the NFL. He
got six touchdowns in the first ten games, six interceptions
the first ten games. It has taken more sacks, and
a lot of these sacks are on him, not just
on his offensive line, but he's taking more sacks than
anybody else in the NFL. Leads the NFL in fumbles,

(45:27):
you know, with eight. So again, I think there's there's
some teams out there that might normally be thinking about
gaining a quarterback create Bland Brown's New York Jets among them,
that are now a little bit gunshy, I think at
the quarterback position because again we just we're seeing underclassmen
are creating some buzz Tys Simpson Alabama, Dante More at Oregon,

(45:50):
but when you really break them down on tape there,
you know, you see flashes, but you don't see a
guy who is definitely, you know, a future NFL signal
called that. As a general manager, you'd be willing to
put your job on the line for. So the need
is so strong that some teams are going to just
roll the dice in the first round. But at the
same time, and this is not a quarterback class that

(46:12):
I would be willing to take my reputation on.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
Yeah, I think. And that leads us in Rob Brank
joinings Chrusy froespizzafroizpizza dot com. That leads us into the
games this weekend. Let's start with Missouri Oklahoma. John Mattier
got all the headlines in the offseason for the Sooners.
I mean, to me, has been let I mean, I
know they're doing well, the ranked number eight, but that's fine.
You look at the numbers, they're not there. I mean
the stars on the Sooners team. If I'm not mistaken

(46:36):
or a couple of guys on the defensive line like
Grayson Halton, Taylor Wine are Mason Thomas. Same thing with
the Tigers. They got some dudes on the defensive line.
I'm assuming that's where the star power is in that.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Game, no question about it. I mean, just real quickly
on Dahnmetier, I mean, he is an intriguing guy. I mean,
there's no doubt about it. I mean, but the statistics
this year are terrible when you comparison to what he
did a year ago in Washington State. I mean considering
that as a passer and as a runner combined, he
had forty four touchdowns, you know, a year ago, and

(47:09):
this season, you know, I think he has He's thrown
for eight, you know. I mean, it just is a
far cry from what he did a year though. That said,
you know, he does have that frame, six foot one
turning twenty four pounds. I mean, he is just a
rock solid build. He's got that dual threadabilding and I
was mentioned before, what Mendoza. Some people are kind of

(47:30):
turned off by his kind of quiet, calm demeanor. Materier,
on the other hand, it does have a little bit
of charisma to him, and some scouts that are going
through Norman are really intrigued by what he offers in
that way. That said, still, I think we're talking about
a Day two selection rather than a top five selection,
the way that a lot of people were, you know,

(47:50):
kind of projecting him as based off the success he
had a Washington And you're absolutely writing in this particular
game Missouri at Oklahoma, the talent is all along the
lions screams for both teams. Oklahoma's got a lot of
young talent along their offensive line, so I'm not focusing
more on Missouri's offensive line and then the defensive line

(48:11):
for both teams. But for Missouri. You know, we've talked
before about the University of Utah and their two tackles
Spencer Fano and Caleb Lamu, who are probably the best
offensive tackles number one two, uh, you know, bookend tackles
and all of college football. But at the same time,
Missouri is no joke.

Speaker 6 (48:30):
There.

Speaker 5 (48:30):
There's left tackle Caden Green. He's just a baby. I mean,
he just turned literally turned twenty one just this week,
but he is. He's a former big timer crew who
actually started his college career at Oklahoma. So this is uh,
you know, kind of a you know, a game that
he is certainly going to be looking to produce do

(48:50):
well against for his former team, the Sooners. But he
played left guard as a true freshman at Oklahoma, came
to Missouri a year ago, moved to left state at
left guard, and then has moved outside to left tackle
this year. He's six foot five, he's three hundred and
twenty four pounds, he's got long arms, he plays his
excellent knee band and natural power. Still just a really

(49:13):
young player, but you can see that he is a
player that his best football is ahead of and if
he were to come out early, even as just a
right shirt sophomore, he's got future. You know, he's got
first round pick all over him. And then on the
right side, you've got Keegan Tross, a right tackle who
I personally think might be better off moving inside to
guard in the NFL. He's an older player. This is

(49:35):
going to be a theme we're gonna be talking about
all day long today, and is that he's a guy
who's transferred. In this case, he's transferred three times, actually
four times, Morgan State, Indiana State, Wake Forest, and now
this past season at Missouri, six foot four, three hundred
and sixteen pounds. He's really creative guy. He's got good

(49:55):
upper body strength, he's just savvy as you expect of
a player who is from a playing it feels like
for a decade at the college level. He's going to
be twenty five years old. He turns twenty five the
week before the draft, and that's going to push him
down the board a little bit. But for my money,
this is the guy that you can kind of get
with a discount because of his age. And I still

(50:15):
think screens NFL starter right out of the box. To me,
he's one of those kind of guys you can probably
steal in like the third round, even though the tape
says he should be a second round pick. So again,
there's some terrific players for the offensive line for Missouri,
but defensive line, I'm kind of, you know, bearing the lead,
so to speak. The defensive line is really where it's

(50:37):
at for Missouri.

Speaker 6 (50:38):
You know.

Speaker 5 (50:38):
And it's funny because you know, as you all know,
I've been looking at high school here and so the
kids like to say at six to seven, all I
hear all day long, sixty seven. Well it's seven eighty
nine at Missouri. When it comes to the defensive line,
they are just absolutely loaded. Number seven, just to go
in numerical order, the big defensive tackle, Chris McClellan six

(50:59):
foot four, three d and twenty three pounds, and he's
just he's almost a combination of you know, Leonard Williams,
and that's Leonard Williams is It's harder to compare anybody
to LARRD Williams, but just his size, he's got such
broad shoulders and long arm. And then it was the physicality,
the toughness of a Jaron Reed. Just a really good

(51:22):
player that doesn't have a lot of great statistics, but
he is a good football player inside that. I think
he's going to be probably a mid round selection because
the two edge rushers opposite him are the ones getting
all the attention. Number eight, Damon Wilson is the speedier
edge rusher of the bunch. He's kind of pass for
a specialist and he played at Georgia a year ago.

(51:45):
You mentioned all these transfers. Chris McClellan, number seven, the
guy before he played at Florida transferred over. Damon Wilson,
the edge rusher that's speedy. He played at Georgia a
year ago, and then Zion Young on the opposite a
number nine. It's probably my favorite player of the bunch,
just because of the physicality and the length that he offers.

Speaker 6 (52:07):
He is long and it looks lean.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
But he plays with great power at the point of attack,
really strings out runs very nicely. Not necessarily as good
of a pass rusher, but at the same time he
is very good as a run defender. This makes big
plays at big moments. Reminds me a little bit of
former Seahawk, former number one overall pick Todeveon Clowney. I
don't think the Zion Young is going to wind up
being a first round selection, but at the top of

(52:33):
the second round, maybe mid point second round. He is
the guy that just plays the game the way you're
supposed to play it.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
Is Rob Raank joining us courtesy of Farelli's Pizza. All right,
let me get to speaking to not one to bury
the lead. I mean, I think the probably the most
important game this weekend Number fifteen USC number seven Oregon
elimination game for college football playoff USC holding on to
life support. In that regard, Oregon maybe has some wiggle room,
but I kind have doubted if they lose at home.

(53:02):
Speaking of quarterbacks, I don't think we've talked about Jordan
Miyam a lot this year for USC. Let's start there.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
Well, it's interesting because you mentioned the m scout with
the BC lines and so here I was thinking that
maybe I had a player because there's not a lot
of people who are focusing on the UNLV running rebels
and that's where Jordan Mavla kind of started his career.
Just the improvement that he has shown this season with

(53:29):
Lincoln Riley, it really is pretty remarkable. You know, he's
got eighteen to six textdown interception ratio. You saw flashes
of it back when he was at UNLV, but certainly
not the precision passing that we have seen so far
this season. He's always had the paratypical height and weight
six four two hundred and thirty pounds, and it certainly

(53:50):
helps when again, you have Lincoln Riley calling plays and
working with you. You know, he's a quarterback whisperer with
what he has been able to do with some of
the quarterbacks he's worked with in the past, but to
have receivers like Mackay Lemon and Jacoby Lane, it's you know, again,
I'm using some kind of grandiose comparisons here. I mentioned

(54:11):
Leonard Williams of Jvon Clowny, so I'll do the same
thing here with the usc as receivers. It's almost like
with the Cincinnati Bengals. Mkai Lemon playing the role of
Jamar Chase Jakobe Lane, the six foot four hundred and
ninety five pounder playing the role of T Higgins. Mkaile
Lemon is my favorite. Well, we talked about him many times.
I mean he is just electricity personified. I mean he's

(54:32):
got you know, eight touchdowns on the year so far,
We've got two more touchdowns. As a rusher, he is
just a dynamic after once the ball is in his hands,
he can make people miss with his ladder Jill, he
can bury his shoulder into people and break tackles that way,
and then he's got enough straight line speed to him
that he's just a dynamics right. He is the first

(54:54):
round pick of the bunch. My other might become that
another year, but again, he is one of those quarterback
for Oregon Donton and Moore that if a team was
willing to roll the dice on him in a first round.

Speaker 9 (55:05):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (55:05):
You know, you're you're going all upside and he probably
needs at least a year on the sideline before he's
ever going to be able to play in an NFL system.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Yeah, and I think I think about that. I think
about you know what Seattle has right in Jalen Milroe.
I mean, even a guy that was far more accomplished
in terms of what he did his resume in college
than Maeva or more. And that guy needs a year
plus maybe two, uh, sitting here on the sideline in Seattle.
If ever, let me ask you, this is and this
is a tough one, Nelson. This has had nothing to
do with the the world of gambling. We are sponsored

(55:35):
by our show is by so calm Me Casino. But
you work for CFL team. So this is strictly for
just entertainment purposes. Because I think it's going to come
down to this, who has the advantage between USC and
Oregon a quarterback USC with Maeva or the Ducks with more.

Speaker 5 (55:51):
You know, that's hard because I really I think that
Dante Moore is the more physically gifted player. I feel
very strongly about that actually, But at the same time,
I just think that the play calling, the development and
the receiver talent. Uh, it puts the ball you know,
and or gives the USC a little bit of advantage.

(56:11):
That said, while I do agree with you that, you know,
from a betting perspective and just the winner and loser
often comes down to the quarterback. To me, and there
is no question about that, the level or the line
of scrimmage is clearly an Oregon's favor and that's why
I do think the Oregon wins this football game. Now,

(56:32):
you know, Oregon stubbed their toe a couple of times.
That's one of the things that is frustrating from a
talent evaluation standpoint. Really, the two best teams in college
football in terms of talent are clearly the Ohio State
Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks. And so I just basically
you can go down Oregon's roster and virtually every single

(56:52):
position and Oregon has an NFL caliber draft prospect and
that is just not the case with US. See, it
is very much a Lincoln Riley kind of coach team.
If they have skilled position players, they've got some five star,
four star recruits along the offensive and defensive lines, and
even some decent statistics, but not dudes that look like
they're going to wind up being an NFL team. So again,

(57:15):
I do think that the quarterback advantage, just because of
the play callers and the talent around him, is probably
better for USC. I just think that Dante Moore, the
Oregon running game, and then certainly the Oregon defensive line
is going to put so much pressure on us Hedy
essentially have to score just about every single drive that

(57:36):
I think the Ducks ultimately feel pretty comfortable with this victory.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
That should be a great game. By the way, all right,
I don't want to run out of time before I
get to this because in our pre show emails, Rob says,
and I love this term. He used the word polarizing.
Miami is playing in Virginia Tech, another elimination game. Virginia
Tech not very good. They just did hire James Franklin,
we'll see even though he's not going to be co coaching.
As that have you kind of juice for Virginia Tech

(58:02):
playing host number thirteen Miami. But when Rob tells me
the Hurricanes have quote some polarizing dudes, including possible first
rounders on the lines, I must ask you about who
are those polarizing dudes, and why are they polarizing?

Speaker 5 (58:14):
Rop Yeah, I think that what's polarizing about them is
while they're very talented, at the same time, they're also
you know, some have some warps. I mean, we'll sort
off the quarterback spot with Carson Beck. Of course, so
we've we've all seen some of the just the just
frankly boneheaded kind of interceptions to which she throws, and

(58:35):
that that was the case in Georgia. It's the case
of Miami, and he threw four interceptions against Louisville and
he was like, what the heck are you doing. But
at the same time, if you want to put up
a you know, a highlight reel of some of the
best throws in all of college football this season, Carson
Beck is there. He's six foot, Folly's turning thirty pounds,
he's got a rocket for an arm. He's you know,

(58:56):
he's had to deal with all of the questions. You know.
The second guessing, I guess I should say for two
big time programs at Georgia and Miami, so the mental
toughness is going to be there. That maybe Fernando Mendoza,
who played at Cal before we went to Indiana, that
he isn't necessarily going to have, so again, I think

(59:16):
you canna start off with them. Then you have the
two edge rushers, Ruben Baines, who is six foot one
tour and seventy pounds, so his short, steady kind of
a guy may have short arms as well. I mean,
I want to watch him on taping and he reminds
me a little bit of Dwight FREEI. But I remember
Dwight FREEI being the number eleven overall draft pick and

(59:37):
obviously want to become in a Hall of Famer, but
there were questions about how good that he was going
to be. And there's been a lot of headdressers to
have that type of a frame that haven't been as
successful in the NFL. So he's got some questions about
And McKey Megador the head dresser on the opposite side,
similar kind of thing. He's more of a six foot
three tour and seventy pound frame, but again he's more

(59:58):
of a physical power kind of a player. And a
lot of the edge rushers they're successful in the NFL.
It's all about speed, it's all about your ladder jilly
to make people miss. So again, I think that those
are some of the people who from Miami are definitely
a little bit polarizing in the scouting community. And even

(01:00:18):
the big tackle Francis Myoga, you know, he's powerful. At
the same time, does he really have the speed the
light feet to be able to remain outside tackle in
the NFL as or it's he gonna wind up being
pushed inside to guard. So again, there's definitely talent, and
you can make an argument to all four of those

(01:00:38):
players at their best our first round picks. At the
same time, I can trad you some some ugly riffs
from each of those players at times as well that
should argue that they'd be more top one hundred kind
of guys, third round caliber prospects.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
You know what's funny with Ruby Bain. We've talked about
him a couple of times, and I I because with
the Heisman vote, I try to watch not just quarterbacks
and running backs, so I want to see other guys.
And the thing with Bain is that we've talked about
him two or three times this season. Rob, I've watched
him and there's times where he pops, like just absolutely pops,

(01:01:13):
and there's other times where I'm like, I don't notice
him for a long period of time. Am I Am
I wrong with that?

Speaker 6 (01:01:19):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:01:19):
I That's that basically characterizes this entire draft class here.
This is not securely strong clasp. You have to for
some of the guys that are supposed to be first
round picks. I mean you have to kind of watch
the tape. They're like, oh, okay, it's kind of a
slow burn kind of a thing, and that shouldn't be
the case for guys that are, you know, possible first

(01:01:41):
round selections. It's you know, you know, I took my cap,
you know, John Scheider for for the courage to make
the trade that he did for Rashid Shahib, because that guy,
even when he's only had a couple of catches, you
see the return ability and the fact that Seatle's using
him out of the backfield as a you know, as
a running back just to take advantage of his speed.

(01:02:01):
It's acknowledging that there are not a lot of difference
makers in this upcoming draft class, and so you might
as well just kind of trade away some of those
draft picks to get something that can help you immediately,
because I don't know, there's a lot of players in
this draft class they're going to be able to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
Speaking off, at some point, we had to talk about
Texas Texas linebacker Jacob Rodriguez there. They're trying to pump
him up as a Heisman candidate, even having them carry,
you know, carry the ball out of the backfield and
everything else. But we'll talk about him down the road
as well, because yeah, it's also weird here for the Heisman.
There's no clear frontrunner. I think Love might be the
best player in the country, but he even shares carries
in the backfield for Notre Dame. So hard to go

(01:02:37):
down that road. All right, my friend, great stuff, Rob Rang.
You can read his stuff at Fox sports dot com.
Of course he's with us throughout the year and especially
we get hot and heavy for draft coming up after
super Bowl week. But in the meantime we love had
him on every Friday. Big thanks for our friends at
Fareli'sizza Freliespizza dot com. Thank you, sir. We'll talk to
you next week.

Speaker 5 (01:02:54):
Happy Thanksgiving, looking forward to as always, but thanks to
you as well.

Speaker 4 (01:02:59):
That is.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
Rob Wrang will take a break Factor Fiction to wrap
up the week. Coming up next night's three point three
kJ FM.

Speaker 7 (01:03:08):
From the R and R Foundation specialist broadcast Studio. Now
back to He and FURNESZ powered by Seattle's closest sports book, Snow,
Qualm Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R FM.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
All right, we'll get to factor fiction just a couple
of seconds, four nine, four to five one. Let's see
ask him. I'll just ask him for co sale, ask Coseel.
How bad Anthony Bradford is I have? He's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
Yeah, there's a whole like montage of very bad Anthony
Bradford snaps out there on social media.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
Yeah he's not good. Nope, he is a problem. We
talked about that yesterday with Corbyn. Problem is you don't
have an answer like it's him right now. Gray'sabel though,
michaec Doll just say a short time ago that Graysabel
could play on Sunday going after game. It's gonna go
all the way after game time. Just how about just Rusting? Yeah,

(01:04:02):
you're playing the Titans. Yeah, I will don't need him
or Ernest Jones in there this week.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Ernest Jones definitely not. I think the one area where
the Titans can get you is the d line. Yeah,
so that's the only thing that I'm worried about. Jeffery
Simmons is a man's man.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
He's a he's a dude. He's a dude. Two five three.
People need to pick their poison with quarterbacks. Sam's a
slinger who doesn't take sacks. Our time and possession is
scoring are very good. I'll take it over being sacked
multiple times and punting all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:04:30):
I E.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Gene On later Russ. Every quarterback has clunkers. They can
just present differently. He's got to cut down the turn
overseel he just does. I mean, it's I mean, I've
said it before. You saw the difference between him and
Matthew Stafford on Sunday. Yep right, it's Stafford's not going
to make those mistakes. No, I need another two forty
five another dose of football radio crack, Millin and co Cell.

(01:04:53):
Can that happen again? Maybe maybe if they get to
the playoffs, will do that. I'm it's I love it.
I just I say, welcome back in Boom. I walk away.
The easiest thing I do. Yeah, and I can just
sit back and listen like you guys. Yeah, well the
crack and make the playoffs this season. Maybe we're just
going through the Odds with Anders Niner Break five O nine,

(01:05:15):
The Crack and Hockey Network theme music goes insanely hard.
I love it. It does, doesn't it. It's really good. Yeah.
Didn't you have like Hans Zimmer or something do it?

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
They did it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Yeah? That was That was a Bruckheimer thing. That's so yeah.
That was a favorite to him. That's a really really
good music. Like it goes like it's one of those things.
It has no right going that hard. It's for a
pregame theme, for a pre game intermission, post game. I
love it. It gets ready to go. I hear that, like,
all right, there we go. Okay, let's get to it.

(01:05:45):
Factor Fiction, where's that to go? Glad you're with us?

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every day Feels Lucky.
Factor Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ R FM.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Do you hear any college football music? I'm looking through here? One?

Speaker 6 (01:06:16):
Two.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
There's only been two picks this week, NFL Pick or
College Football Picks. Everything else has been NFL. Yeah, MJ
took Iowa Michigan State under forty two and a half today.
Why Jackson took JMU minus thirteen and a half for Wazoo.
I get that pick. You're just being that guy, and

(01:06:36):
you know what, I appreciate it. I have great respect
for that because I do the same thing. And I
almost did that again today, keyword being almost, yeah, And
I was leaning hard towards that, going basically down the
same road I go down all the time. But I'm
going to tell you right now, after listening to co

(01:06:58):
to Rob rang I gotta go with the Ducks. Yeah, God,
I've got it. I've got it without the hook. Do
you still have with the hook? Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:07:10):
Damn it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
Okay, Oregon minus ten and a half over USC fact
four nine four five one. I know that's a big spread.
I get that they're at home. No, they're at home.
And I don't think you and line of scrimmage, as
Rob said, talent level, as Rob said, just they're just different.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
USC is on the up with with Lincoln Riley. Yeah,
but I'm I think Oregon. I think Oregon now is
like kind of taking the season seriously. I think Dan
Lanning is the kind of guy that they cannot relax.
They got whacked at home by Indiana thirty to twenty
in the game. Frankly wasn't that close since that time

(01:07:55):
close game against Iowa should have killed Wisconsin only beat
him by fourteen. Minnesota. They handily won no last week,
handily forty two thirteen. And I think they I think
they give it to you. I think they curbsed off
USC tomorrow. Yeah. Here's the thing. Style points matters too.
It's we're at that point. Yeah, we're at that point.
Even though they say it doesn't, it does Oregon minus

(01:08:17):
ten and a half fact four nine four or five
one versus USC. If you disagree fiction four nine four
to five one. You're playing for a thousand dollars weekly prize,
ten thousand dollars grand prize. Curzy the Lucky Eagle casino
and hotel where every day feels lucky, twenty four hour
gaming Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Here we go. H I'm leaning
into the Ducks. Part of it is I want to

(01:08:38):
see them roll in here next week and just have
a little bit more on the line. That's what that game. Yeah,
they can't afford a loss, certainly a home loss to USC.
Now they beat USC tomorrow and lose to Washington. I
don't think they're in, But I just I think you

(01:08:59):
can't make any difference statements right now about the college
football playoff. There's just too much left to happen over
the next two weeks. Yeah, you can throw in the
champion the conference championship games a week later if you want,
But really, the next two weeks there's a lot going on.
I think they have to go to and O. I
think they do too. I would, Yes, I agree with you.
I think they need to go to and Oh. But yeah,

(01:09:21):
I think USC's disappointed me on a couple of occasions
this year. I've picked them a couple of times, so
I'm not picking them again. I'm going to Oregon, Oregon.
I know, listen for many of you. You'll feel dirty.
I get it. Yeah, then pick fiction. That's the think
the case.

Speaker 5 (01:09:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
I think the Ducks might be able to I think
they could afford a loss. Really, I don't think they
could afford a loss at home. What's worse home versus
USC year or on the road against Washington. Well, Washington's
gonna win this week? They will? Did they get votes?
At all last week in the top twenty five. Yeah,
they did. Okay, I think I think Washington the Washington

(01:10:00):
would be it's on the road at the Husky Stadium.
It's a rivalry game. If it's closed and something weird happens,
and if they handle USC, I think maybe I think
this is just a huge game. Yeah, I'm going it
doesn't matter. I've already picked made the pick Oregon minus
ten and a half fact for him. I was leading.
I was kind of fifty to fifty on the scheme,
you know that. But then I listened to Rang and
he's telling me how the great a lot of scrimmage
and the talent battles not even close right now. So

(01:10:22):
so you got to pick the ducks if you want
to win a thousand dollars a weekly prize, ten thousand
dollars grand prize four nine four or five to one
Oregon minus ten and a half fact four nine four
or five one if you disagree, fiction four nine four
or five one. I would have loved to not have
had the hook on that. Yeah, but I'll take it.
We'll live with it. Fine, I mean pushes a fiction anyway.
So yeah, and eleven's not doesn't really matter right now.
For the most part, six and a half matters. Ten

(01:10:45):
and a half not as much. Yeah, all right, texting
right now? Oh one more time. Uh, we might have
it fixed next week. Maybe possibly. It's looking bounce back's
not working. If that's if you're wondering, if you've ever
played the game and you say, hey man, I'm not
getting a bounce back right now, we get it. It's

(01:11:08):
because there's been an issue with the text thing. Your
count your vote is still getting counted as long as
you spell it correctly. Don't be the guy or woman
that doesn't spell it correctly. Fac didn't get counted there seven.

Speaker 9 (01:11:22):
I like that though, FAC five yeah, F I C
t io N if your last numbers are n in

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
It's a double Rick Corcoran. It didn't get rick. You
yours didn't get counted, just barely beat it. Yeah, try
it one.

Speaker 6 (01:11:41):
More time.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Three zero zero one. You didn't get it counted either,
all right, So if you're listening right now, you guys
started right before it opened, Okay, so get that in
there right now. Four nine four five one fact if
you agree fiction, if you disagree again Oregon minus ten
and a half fact you disagree fiction four nine four
five one, She says, already, then here he is, d

(01:12:17):
yea Eavey Friday to you, buddy. Oh, thank you, thank
you very much. Yeah too, Bet. Not down in l
a Ah, the Rose Bull. You should be in the
Rosebull the last game for UCLA there, right, we thought
about going down there and then Wisconsin happened. That's right.
So so what Petros I heard a little bit the
other day, is this it for the Rose Bowl? Like
the final UCLA game there? They thank? Yeah, this could

(01:12:39):
be it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
Man.

Speaker 10 (01:12:39):
We'll see what happens over the offseason and look at it.
I kind of get it, man, it's hard to get there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
You know. People have been bitching about the Rose Bull forever.

Speaker 10 (01:12:46):
I think they just say things like, well, you know,
the Rose Bull sucks, but we'd rather be there than
Sofi Stadium, which I totally understand that. I think personally,
they're going to find a way to get something done
on campus down the road. I know that Petros is
very skeptical about that. I just can't imagine them playing
their games long term and so far unless you do.
I think it was new Heisl's idea. You play the

(01:13:07):
big games at the Rose Bowl right right, like the
dynamic pricing games.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
Okay, yeah, I see Ohio State.

Speaker 10 (01:13:16):
I don't know if Oregon whatever you have blah blah blah,
and then you play the crap at the at so.

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
Fine well basically any game that's a SOFI stadium. You see,
LA is telling what Petrol saying about, like building a
stadium there, like the track. The track, they got.

Speaker 10 (01:13:31):
Problems with the neighbors and all that stuff. There's really
nowhere to put it is is the real issue. They
don't want traffic, they don't want any of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
Man, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:13:39):
I mean, I think what they should do is just
go small the build like a semi soccer stadium that
seats forty thousand people.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
That's what you do, honestly, Yeah, why not? What is
autin fifty thousand right now? And you fill it up
and it's a better atmosphere and yeah fifty five.

Speaker 10 (01:13:52):
By the way, I'll talk to Gonzano about this later
on that Oregon might be in the mix for a
new park down there in Eugenew Park, either either a
new Otston or a greatly expanded Austin Stadium down there.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
So well they alread expanded it once, right, they might
keep going. They they might keep going. Just hey, check yourself, Oregon,
Like just check yourself for a second. Huh, I'm just
missing check yourself or rumors. I've heard rooms about that.
I've heard rumors about Anders, I've heard rumors about you.
Well the rumors. Did I see Canzano right that Jim

(01:14:26):
Mora juniors in contention for the Oregon state jobs? Yes
he is. Uh.

Speaker 10 (01:14:30):
I know a lot of guys in contention for the
Oregon stage jo Uh, former Husky wide receivers coach, is
now at Alabama. I think his name might be getting
floated out there by some people.

Speaker 7 (01:14:40):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
Jim Mora, first of all, is not a junior.

Speaker 6 (01:14:42):
You know that, right.

Speaker 10 (01:14:43):
He's got a different middle name than his dad. I
think one's a Frank and one's a Lord, which is
like ridiculous junior. If you're if you like, if you're
Jim more of the elder. Yeah, and you and you
had a kid and Jim, I mean, what are you doing?

Speaker 6 (01:14:59):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:14:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
You have to ex I didn't be of course, of
course anyway, So he's he's rumored there's all kinds of rumors.

Speaker 10 (01:15:05):
Man, JaMarcus uh Shepherd Shepherd, Okay, I think Oregon State's
got a shot to get a pretty decent name. Question is,
does Jim Mora want to leave Yukon for Oregon State? Like,
what's a better job right now? It sounds ridiculous obviously
now today, what would be technically a better job?

Speaker 3 (01:15:21):
I think if you're not unless you're Notre Dame being
one of two independents in the country, I think being
in a conference is better. Yeah, I think you can win.
You're also at a basketball first Actually you're number three
on that camp. Yeah, behind women's basketball and men's basketball. Yeah,
and you're number two behind baseball and corvallis kind of
You're kind of right about that.

Speaker 10 (01:15:40):
I just wonder if you can win more games at Yukon. Man, Honestly,
I think I think Oregon State's in trouble. I feel
really bad for Oregon State. I think they are really
really behind the eight ball right now. Man, with their
situation down there, big time.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):
They got they got money though, more money than we have.
I don't know, dude, Well, I'll take it out like that.
That's fine, fine.

Speaker 6 (01:15:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
J Mark Marcus was in continent for our job last year.
He was He don't think he ever an interviewed, but
I know his name was floated out there. So if
that guy floated out there, if I'm not mistaken, you
may have you flowed a lot of things. Yeah, he
may be.

Speaker 10 (01:16:12):
He may be a head coach down the road one day.
He might need to go be a coordinator first before
he becomes a head coach. He's never been a coordinator before,
at least not for a significant amount of time.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
But I love the guy.

Speaker 10 (01:16:21):
I mean, he's a phenomenal dude, and I think he's
a great leader and personality and all that I.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
Can recruit too. CEOC left year and grub was here. No, No,
that was Nick Sheridan.

Speaker 10 (01:16:31):
Okay, Yeah, Nick Sheridan was the OC and then he
hired grub back, Brian grubbing me the next OC of
the Falcons.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
Yeah did you bring that? Who you brought that up?
Is that you and Florida were talking about that?

Speaker 5 (01:16:40):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
What's a better job Atlanta better than the Alabama O C? Absolutely? Yeah, Well,
I guess depends on the coaches.

Speaker 10 (01:16:48):
Dude, you're one step away from the head coach getting
fired and you taken over, kid me can't can't, he
can't fail again in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
Everybody wants back in the NFL. Everybody wants back in
the Let's put it this way, it's a it's an
easier job. It's not twelve and a half months a year, no,
not on which colleges right now. That's that's the big
reason why. It's like people, you know, say, why do
you want to be in the NFL because you don't
recruit in the NFL. You don't You don't deal with
twice the players. You don't deal with moms and dads

(01:17:16):
and donors and and ill, once the season's over, your
job's over. You wait till the guys drop somebody then
to deal with it.

Speaker 10 (01:17:22):
At that point, you're in the war room, you're watching
tape with a GM and all that stuff. You're going
to the scouting combine, blah blah blah. But yeah, it's
a totally different gig. And it's like people ask you
all the time, how come you don't want to coach?
Because I do want to work eighty hours a week
for God's sakes, are you kidding me? Why would he
coach when he can come on there?

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
Our friend Dannie O'Neil brought up today the tire U,
the tire jack at Mountsi High School. Right, one of
the great all time stories. Yes, Chris the.

Speaker 10 (01:17:46):
Internet, Parallax, Yes, Parallax two thousand and nine. Yes, Chris
poul cat Notre Dame. I think he was in but
the camera was on the wrong angle and you never knew.
I mean, why can't we have a camera in the pylon?
In the pylon right?

Speaker 5 (01:18:01):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
They're not even doing that in the NFL? Is that right?
Some are now?

Speaker 10 (01:18:04):
I think, how often do you watch an NFL game
and you see the gold line camera but it's on
the two yard line?

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
It's like offset? How hard is this to figure out?
Can't be hard?

Speaker 11 (01:18:13):
Computer chips and footballs, cameras and pilons. I mean, what
are we doing Lions and Tigers? I could create an
AI video, yes, of you doing whatever the hell I
want you to do. We can't put a camera in
a pilon.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
That's correct, sir?

Speaker 4 (01:18:27):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
What are you doing today? What's today? Friday Lee's sterling
join us? He was four and one.

Speaker 10 (01:18:31):
Last week on the air, Teresa Walker from the AP
in Nashville, The Little Titans preview God, they're.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
With him in the six pm hour. Okay, Yeah, that's
what's going on. Man, that's a big show, a lot
going on. All right.

Speaker 10 (01:18:51):
Well, well it's better than you know two days ago.
Two days ago sucked. Today is pretty good. I was yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
Yesterday was mediocre. Okay, well, wait to wrap it up
for the end of the week. We're just gonna and
you were something good man. I see for the mild
mannered and marginally objectionable in forness this paddle day, saying
so long everyone,
