Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, what do we got going on to I
want to get up the Seahawks thing. I think tomorrow,
I think I'm gonna be out there and get a
couple of interviews, do some stuff. So the power rankings
thing is fun. I do like power rankings are fun
because the NFL doesn't matter. Subjective college football matters NFL.
It doesn't because it's who wins. I'm I've believed in

(00:22):
the Seahawks team all year. I like the Seahawks team
a lot. I don't know if they're the number two
team in the NFL really, only because I do have
concerns about that offense, specifically the offensive line. I think
that's that's the concern.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, every teams though extensive conversation yesterday with you, by
the way, about about the guard position.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yes as well, just the whole Yeah, I need to
see I need to see a couple now. Listen. Their
defense is solely doesn't matter, right, I think I Hugh
had a Heuan Softy and and f more at four
yesterday brought up you know, some of the some of
the least productive games that Sam Donald's had have come

(01:06):
in the last four weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yep, So.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I still believe in Sam first of all. And one
thing you'll never hear me doubt or question is the
decision to move on from Geno and go to Sam Donald. Ever,
I just I want to see that offensive line just
get a little bit better. I want to see Klint
Kubiak react to things like Brian Flore's blitz better. You know,
And I thought that, you know, in a twenty six

(01:31):
to nothing game, there's no reason to throw too much
shade at them. But it wasn't a great game offensively
at all, and the consistent ability to run the football
is still missing a little bit. I think the bigger
thing is is they're really missing Tory Horton. I think
they need that secondary threat. Rashid Shihet has not been

(01:52):
it yet. He's great on the punt returns, I mean
kick off returns. He's like, that's that's a I like,
I don't know if I don't know if him just
on special teams is worth the draft picks. But I
do feel as if there's a powder keg there that
could change and flip a game pretty quick already has,
but come playoff time, all of a sudden, he houses one.

(02:16):
You know, Okay, you know, it's worth it. But but
I want to see more from him at the receiver position.
I want to see more than just jsn Aj. Barner
has been a revelation. He's been really good, like really
good for them at the tight end position. But yeah,
you're right, Anders, every team has blemishes. I'm not quite

(02:37):
sure what the Rams blemishes. Not quite sure what that is.
Deep at receiver. They got two absolute they got two
absolute hammers. They're solid at tight end. Kyron Williams is
a dude. Blake Korum has been really good in his
second year. Staffords the best quarterback probably in the league
right now. Sorry, I mean I know that Mahomes and

(02:57):
all them just look at just watch him. He's great.
And their defense is pretty damn good. Yeah, that's why
I'd say them probably won. And I think the Seahawks
have a shower for being number two, So I don't
think that's that far off. Where did the Patriots fall
into that?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
No, I haven't played anyone.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm just saying, where do the Patriots fall into that?
Every time I want to doubt them, and I know
I made I made fun of the game last night.
I'm like, I'm not watching this crap. And I ended
up watching it for a while, and then I flipped
it over to watch the Jets of the Sabers, and
I flipped right back because it was five to nothing.
I'm like, okay, I'm done. Five to one.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think they're fools gold to be honest.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
I want to think that too, Jess, and I think
that's the it's it's a rational thought. It is. It's
a rational thought to have because look at them, like
they're the Patriots. No Belichick, no Brady, no bled So,
no Steve Grogan, none of that. I mean, it doesn't
matter you go back in time. But they just keep
winning and they're ten and two.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
I'm not a Drake made doubterer, so I don't even
think that's the part that's like the other shoe will drop.
I don't think their defense is like that elite, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
And they played ambulance. The team they played last night's awful.
Yeah it's it's awful, but they're they're there. But the
defense plays physical. Man, there a reflection to their coach.
They are reflecting their coach. So uh, all right, I
want to get just real quick. I mentioned college football.
M J and I were talking a moment ago. College
FOOTBA playoffs starts tonight. You know, he's talking about the

(04:21):
I said to remind him, I said, you might want
to talk to your friends down in Ole, Miss. But
the the the problems with the game right now, and
we're going to address this with Alex and MK in
a minute with the cook ground table. We'll get a
little bigger picture with them. I just the more I hear,
see and watch of Lane Kiffin, the more I'm absolutely disgusted,

(04:42):
and I'm disgusted that a guy like that is in
a position he is in. I'm more disappointed in something
that we've all across the country complained about for decades,
the lack of leadership in college football. Well, when is
an adult in the room going to stand up that
has the ability to do so and change it? Like,

(05:04):
when is that going to happen? You know? I joked
yesterday about the Softy plan, and Softy is not the
only one, but it's the legitimate, the biggest thing with
college football, the biggest issue, and Huffman's going to be
with us probably Thursday. I gotta figure out the time, Jess,
when's here Thursday? Because it's early signing day tomorrow, and
I'll talk to him about this because he's this is
his world. He lives in this. They changed the early

(05:27):
signing because, frankly, coaches didn't want to have to worry
about losing their players. They got a guy committed in
September and October, and they want to get that guy's
in signature on a letter of intent. Well, a letter
of intent don't really matter anymore because it's a different
world now. It's an il, it's I don't even know
what they call it. He'll explain it to his skin tomorrow.
But that's why they changed the letter of intent day

(05:48):
or commitment day to two. There's one now and there's
still the one in February. This one is the one
that matters more sort of, although with all the coaching changes,
doesn't really matter. We'll talk to Brandan about that. But
here's the thing, Like as Safty pointed out in his tweet,
and he's one hundred percent right, and other people have
said the same thing. We'll talk to Mandela Marle. It's
really not that difficult. The game has evolved and changed.

(06:10):
The reason that these coaches wanted to have and didn't
and want to have the calendar like it is is
because they want to have their players available for them
in their buildings, starting with offseason workouts in January and
a spring practice in March or April, and they have
to be in school for that. That means that you
have kids transferring and tapping out during a season, you

(06:32):
have coaches leaving programs in the middle of a playoff
or bowl season, what have you. And it really isn't
that difficult. You want to be like the NFL. You
want to be the NFL model. That's kind of where
players are getting paid, coaches are getting paid at zillion dollars.
You want to be the NFL model. Follow the NFL.

(06:54):
The NFL would never allow a coach to leave for
another school or another program in the middle of the season.
Never allowed players just to say, yeah, I signed an
NIL or NFL contract, They're the same damn thing now
and just tap out and go somewhere else in the
middle of a season. There is a time and a
place for free agency for coaches and players. Pro sports
do it. They've given you a template, they've given you

(07:16):
a model. Figured it out. Just figure it out. But
until then we're all going to complain and scream and
yell and talk about the ills of the game. The
ills of the game on the field aren't there. People
are watching, they're enthusiastic, they're loving it. The Super Conference
thing seems to be working, but there are issues because
every year a couple of schools and a whole bunch
of hundreds of athletes. Student athletes get screwed over. That's

(07:39):
how it works. Fix it. It's not that hard. We'll
talk about that with MK and Alex coming up.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
Next, It's time to Doug Cougar Football with two wazou legends,

e in with the Cougar legends.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Time to check in with our Koug legends. QB one,
QB ten as he wore back in the day, Alex
Drink and of course the Pac ten sac leader there
he is, and Crystal Bruce MK is with us. Let's go, uh,
wrapping up the regular season, looking ahead a little bit
to the bowl season coming up and all of that,
and also the holidays upon us. So it's the glorious

(08:58):
time of the year. Be good to have the fellows
back with us. Our last regular scheduled visit this year.
We may do one after the bowl game to put
a bow on things, but let's just go and to
go through some stuff right now. Fellas. Great to have
you on Alex. They get the six win on Saturday,
do the Cougs. It's just big, Like I know, it
doesn't sound like a lot six and six, but that
was that was big?

Speaker 10 (09:19):
Wasn't it huge?

Speaker 11 (09:20):
I mean, look, there's there's something to I saw this
stat that popped up, and I think it's very indicative
of how people just thinking about Washington State football. You know,
Washington State it's been to nine bowl games, right in
the last ten years, not counting the COVID year. Right
in that time, USC has been to five, I think,
and UC has been to four. Right, So on the

(09:42):
West coast, you know, Washington State football has been as
good as anybody in the last you know, ten or
fifteen years. And I think that the yeah, the ability
to maintain that streak and continue that is super important.
I think also, right, like that was an important football
game with a lot on the line. So when you
talk about nineteen twenty twenty one year olds, it's that's hard, right,

(10:03):
It's easy to stub your toe along the way and
make mistakes. And I thought the coaching SAT did a
great job getting kids ready to go, and the kids
came ready to play, and there was never a doubt.
I mean it was it was over midway between the
second midway and the second quarter.

Speaker 12 (10:15):
Yeah, this, I mean, this is how it should have
been the first time they played. And I was telling
everybody that they're going to oh man, it's gonna be
a one or two score games, Like it is absolutely not.
They had Washington State had a chip on their shoulder
and defensively hold him scoreless. For three quarters in a row,
like it's they had something, they're proven and walk around
on the sideline. I got to see sideline one. Jessman
down there in action. But I'm telling you, the feeling

(10:36):
on that sideline was how Washington State. That's the Washington State.
I remember, people are jumping around excited, coaches are going nuts,
the players were going nuts. They came to play.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
What does that say MK about what Jimmy Rodgers and
his staff have done for this particular reason. That game
played the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Yeah, what's on the line.
We understand what's on the line getting a bowl game?
Alex mentioned it. I think it's Oregon, Washington. I'm thinking
of West Coast schools, Oregon, Washington, Utah. Believe the only

(11:08):
schools that have had that maybe have been in like
that same level right in terms of getting a bull
eligibility to do that, Alex, I mean, that's pretty good,
heady company to be in with those schools. So that's
big to get to that point. Big because what we
can we'll talk about in a minute what it means.
But it's a six you know, a five and six
team day after two days after Thanksgiving. Most of the
students aren't back. It's not like Apple Cup you come

(11:30):
back for. Like Apple Cup you come back for and
the alumni comes back for an Apple Cup. They ain't
coming back for Game two in an exhibition season against
Oregon State. So what does it say about what that
coaching staff was able to do with those players to
get them to that level You just talked about MK
Because there weren't a lot of people in the stands,
all of that emotion had to be coming from within,

(11:50):
and that to me is a tribute to what they're
doing there right now.

Speaker 12 (11:53):
And you hit it on the head right there. Because
there wasn't a lot of people in the stands. There
was a lot of empty spaces out there, and I
think the coaching that did a great job of preparing
the kids, especially if you don't know, if you've never
been in a pullman, you know, in November or anything
like that, you got a lot of new players that
are coming back. But on the sideline, and Alex will
tell you this too, there's always an agenda or somebody

(12:14):
that the coaching staff is really pushing that week. So
this week is this? This week is this? Every single
player on the sideline, I heard them saying we're going bowling.
We're going bowling. So that just means that coaching staff
all week they got pictures in their scattery reports of
them going bowling. They got pictures of bowling alleys everywhere
like they had one that they had one thing on
their mind. I'm telling that defense, Ian, when I was

(12:34):
on the sideline, gave me goosebumps. They were flying around
with just hell bent on not letting them score. They
wanted to have this game as a skunk. That's what
they wanted. And defensively, it was just it was so
exciting to watch because the preparation and I tell my
son this all the time. When you're prepared, you're never
going to be nervous because you already know what's going
to happen. Right, It was just it was just awesome.

Speaker 10 (12:56):
You know, Ian, it's super interesting.

Speaker 11 (12:58):
I got to touch on this because it crossed my
mind as MK was talking and I heard in the
week leading up to the game, some of the some
of the seniors, particularly South Dakoast State guys like Matthew
Durance and Tucker Lards were talking and they were talking about,
you know, kind of what the week meant for them,
but how they were preparing for kind of the end
of their careers, and they used to term sowing the
seeds for the future that they'll never see the growth of. Right,

(13:20):
And I think back to when I showed up at
Washington State, and Washington State was a defensive mind and
football team, like that's what that's what we were. Offense
was a thing QVU, but like you know, the defense
in that era, right the Holiday Bowls season then into
six with MK, I mean, defense led the way more
so than offense did oftentimes. And I remember, you know
MK can speak to this. There used to be the seniors,

(13:42):
like the defensive backs used to pass it down to
the young guys and and the d line passed it
down to their guys, and there was this constant, like
constant passing down, sowing seeds of what the expectations were.
And with some coaching changes on certain sides of the
ball and different things, we lost that along the way
heading into seven, and then certainly that until my leads
showed up, right, And I think now you're seeing that

(14:03):
Jimmy Rodgers has a chance potentially to create that type
of culture that moves right from year to year to
year because what you don't want, obviously is that defensive
mentality we saw this year to change, right. I think
what you're hearing from the staff and the players is
that it's not gonna matter who's wearing the crimson and gray,
because they're gonna set the expectation of what it looks like,

(14:24):
particularly defensively, which I love.

Speaker 12 (14:26):
And and and I'll follow with this too. Everything's about
a foundation, a strong foundation. I think people ask me
all the times, like what did you expect from Jimmy
Rodgers when he came to this season? And I don't
know if I expected everything that he's done this year
because coming into a new space that he is, especially
out of Washington State, that smaller community, I didn't think
he was gonna be able to get buy in that quick.

(14:47):
And I think he set the foundation for that going
into next year for these players.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I think it's a smk Alex. It's our Kuga roundtable,
not every Tuesday. Yeah, I think that's an important thing.
I mean, where we are in college football today right
now today across the country, you know, there's two levels.
There's the power four level, there's a group of five level,
but you know, and a group of five and all
this stuff, and we got all you know, and you

(15:14):
got the Lane Kiffins of the world that dominate the headlines,
and you've got all the stuff going on. What you
guys were saying there is important to me because, first
of all, I think, you know, the buy in has
to happen, and how things look today and probably not
how they're going to look in two years, right, Like
it's just different. It's just going to be different. But
Alex getting to a bowl game and I hear MK

(15:36):
talking about those guys, the message being sent, it probably
means a lot to some of those guys that played
in like the FCS playoffs too, like one and done
type of stuff. In the cold weather or wherever they
might be. Playing a ball game is a whole different world,
isn't it. Like it's a whole different world. So what
do you think those guys? How excited should they be
for playing in a bowl game wherever the hell it
may be, New Mexico, Memphis, wherever it may be.

Speaker 11 (15:58):
I mean, these guys just seem like they like in football, right,
so they get another they get another three or four
weeks of practicing and playing. You know, the bowl game's
fun you get, you know, you get a lot of
stuff with it. It's kind of a fun week once
you get down there because there's events and you know,
there's not the you know, there's not maybe the pressure
of like an FCS playoff game, but it's kind of
a chance. Like for those seniors, it's like a very

(16:19):
enjoyable experience to finish their career win or lose. Right,
obviously they're gonna want to win, but you know, I'm
in that sense, I'm excited for some of these guys
to be able to experience that feel of it. It's
you know, it's gonna be, it's gonna be on ESPN,
it's gonna be or wherever like it's gonna be. It's
gonna feel like a big moment, right, And so to that,
to that degree, I think it's a great way to finish.

(16:40):
I would be disappointed for a guy like you know
Tucker Large or or you know Matthew Durance, Caleb Francell
if they didn't get that opportunity to like do it
one more time, you know, when they are used to it.
Coming from South Dakota State.

Speaker 12 (16:52):
I think one thing I always look back at I
wish I understand how important a bowl game was at
that time, being like I came from you know, little
Rent in Washington at Liberty High School, and you know,
my senior year we go to the Roles I'm sorry,
my freshman year we go to the Rose Bowl. My
sophomore year we go directly to the Holiday Bowl. I
just thought that was a regular thing that just happened,

(17:13):
and I wish, I wish I knew the importance of
it to just take it in a little bit more.
But those were probably some of the best times of
my life, you know, going to those bowl games.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well I think you know, mks you're describing it to
you know, everywhere every school treats a bowl game differently,
Like in every and the attitude in the locker room,
coaching staff, fan base, it's different for a bowl game.
I'm going to get back to the importance of it
in a second about the seeds that are being sown
that you guys brought up in a moment. But you know,
I think back, you know, last few years, our bowl

(17:43):
games experiences have been awful, Like they just have been.
It's like coaches leaving offense. I mean, Klay McGuire's I like,
I love clay Man. But you know our offensive line
coach having to call plays in a game, you know, O.
You know our strength and conditioning coaches running the sideline
last year, and you know all that kind of stuff.
A d line coach that stepped up who's a former Husky,
and man, I love him for that. But in Pete Calugus,

(18:05):
but you know, we we've lost. It's just it feels
like this year we might actually Alex have a legitimate
team out there. The Max Borgies of the world opting out,
which still goes down one of the greatest you know,
missteps ever for a guy like I mean, just not
only for the team but for him. Like last I
checked undrafted and cut from the XFL a hundred times. Dude,

(18:26):
go play in the bowl game. Put some tape out there,
you know, get Alex. You know, being a six or
seventh round pick is a lot better than being a UDFA, right, Like,
go out there, like all these guys opting out. I
don't think we're going to have that Alex this year.
I don't think we're gonna have all these dudes opting
out this year.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
No.

Speaker 11 (18:42):
And you know, if you guys want to get really
big picture with it, you know, with all all the
things you talked about, it's happening in college football right now.
All the bad things about college football that we don't like,
right coach movement, coach movement in the middle of the
season or when they're on a championship run, like Lane Kiffin, conversation,
conversations about conversation about transfer portal before the portal is
even open and athletes are ready to go, you know,

(19:04):
backdoor nil deals to try and get players. Like all
the stuff right that's happening that that nobody likes about
college football.

Speaker 10 (19:10):
But we opened that Pandora's box.

Speaker 11 (19:12):
This Washington State football team, in my opinion, is all
that is good about college football.

Speaker 10 (19:15):
The ZBC houses of the world.

Speaker 11 (19:17):
They get a second opportunity to play at a big
school and prove they can do it right. The South
Dakota State kids that were all Americans and came to
the next level up quote unquote and show that they're
just as good and can compete with the best, right
the old Misses of the world, you know, the young
freshmen that are getting on the field, making plays and
doing big things that you know, the Christian Hillbourns of
the world, that stuck it out at Washington State and

(19:38):
you are going to get big opportunities. Like all of
that stuff, to me is what Washington State football is
all about right now, and I think it's all that's
good in football and has shown and kof fan should
be excited, has shown that it can win.

Speaker 10 (19:50):
Right. You don't have to buy your roster. You don't
have to. You don't have to do it shady like.

Speaker 11 (19:55):
You don't have to be you know, you don't have
to be a guy that's you know, snake in the grass.

Speaker 10 (20:00):
To make it work.

Speaker 11 (20:01):
You can just be a straight up, honest, good football
coach with good kids and win and compete at the
highest levels. And I think Washington State showed that this
year and was really close to having a really special years.
The ball downs is one way or the next.

Speaker 12 (20:13):
Yeah, Ole Miss and Virginian game that those two change.
What does that season look like those two games? Right?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah? Well, I mean no one was cared about Lane
kiff and leaving right now because they probably wouldn't be
in the playoffs.

Speaker 11 (20:23):
That's fun, you know, we would have saved the lane
a lot of headaches, just a few dollars bills bank account.

Speaker 12 (20:31):
Fans or are going into the plans like man, at
least give him a little credit for the couple of
the wins.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, but you know what, but MKA, I think I
go back. I look at it on a much lower scale,
like a way lower scale. I mean, Wazoo wasn't competing
obviously for a national championship last year. But I can relate.
I think we all can relate. You know. The one thing,
you know, Mike Price left to go to Alabama, and
he's going to Alabama from Wazoo after taking our school

(20:58):
to two Rose Bowls. I mean, that's fine. I didn't
love the fact he coached that game necessarily in the
Rose Bowl. Just as a fan, I kind of was thinking,
if you're out, you're out. Let DoBeS take over and
be done with it. But that's fine, that's it's water
on the bridge. But you know, Mike God has to
a lot of places, and and then you know when
when you know, when Leech stuck around for a decade plus,

(21:19):
I mean Mike could have left Alex How many times
could Leach have left? Probably four or five times.

Speaker 11 (21:23):
Yeah, probably should have taken the Tennessee job when it
when it popped up to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, I mean would have hit a better job.

Speaker 11 (21:28):
Yeah to say that, but it's probably true, you know,
But yeah, he had he had his opportunity Washington State.
I think everybody agrees now in hindsight that you know,
we're all very grateful for the length of time that
coach Leech spent at Washington State.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (21:39):
Yeah, he loved the community.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah. But but I look at Kiffin and there's a
there's a Dickert in all our buckle quality to that,
like you kind of, I don't.

Speaker 12 (21:49):
I don't know if you blame those two guys though.
I think Dickert hit the max that he was going
to get. I think he peaked, especially with everything that
happened with the pack and everything like that. His resume
was where is going to be?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
He had Helm and MK, he had Healthyer. My problem
with it is for two straight years that guy was
on the job search and you look at the trajectory
of the program from middle of the season to the end,
and both years it went straight down to the side
of the mountain. Man. I hate to say that to
a pilot, but it went into the mountain, buddy, Like
it went into the mountain. You had you had a
quarterback and and O c that you know, good for them,

(22:22):
they got paid because the more MATERI plays, unless he's
gonna get paid to the next level, you know. But
those guys same thing. I mean, I look at that
last game against was at Wyoming last year, didn't score
the final three quarters, like like your heads, your heads
were elsewhere. So I understand fan base is being pissed.
What I like is I think we got a guy
here that doesn't mind small town America, that doesn't mind
you know where he's at. Yeah, and I think I

(22:45):
I don't know, I just I feel more bullish alex
On on the future now today. It's than I would
have ever thought I would have. You know, after say
that you Doug game of the North Texas games.

Speaker 12 (22:56):
I think jim I think Jimmy wants to stay longer too.

Speaker 11 (22:59):
I agree, Well, I think, I mean, I think, I think,
no matter what again, not to not to pull hoals
in it, like no matter what. I agree like at
six and six this season, seeing what we saw. I mean,
there was a culture reset at Washington State this this season, right,
there was a culture reset. This is not the air
raid anymore. These are this is not a soft football team.
These are gonna be physical, tough, defensive minded football teams.

(23:21):
There's gonna be balanced on offense. Like you got a
head coach that's gonna tell it like it is. You know,
he's gonna be honest with players, You're gonna be honest
with the media, like all those things.

Speaker 10 (23:29):
That culture reset is fantastic.

Speaker 11 (23:31):
The only the only place I'm gonna go just to
set up expectations is that Jimmy Rodgers will leave at
some point. They all do, okay, and like that's okay.
We need to we gotta everybody needs to get out
of the mindset at Washington State that we need somebody
that's gonna be at Washington State long term, or we
need players they're gonna stay four years.

Speaker 10 (23:47):
Because they're not.

Speaker 11 (23:47):
And that's okay, because you can win like that, you
build programs in this day and age, you can have
success and and it'll be great and everybody will enjoy it,
and we should. You know, thank the John Mattiers and
the cam Wards on their way out for their service
and and you know, happy Jake Tiggert found a different place.
And we're happy and lucky that we have Jimmy Rodgers,
and so I just think that's super important. But there's

(24:09):
no doubt Washington State football is in a better place
December second than it was December second of last year.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, I listen, I agree. For I was just talking
to my my wife's cousins in town. He's a traveling nurse.
He's an Alabama guy. Right, We're just talk about the
d of the day because he's like, man, do you
think the board might go to Penn Stana. I go, no, no, No,
there's like five jobs in this country you don't leave
and until they tell you to leave. Alabama's Alabama is
one of them. Ye, you know, but what you said

(24:35):
is true, Like, I don't think any of us have
those expected like if Jimmy leaves or when Jimmy leaves.
It's just because this thing's in a lot better shape
than it is at six and six too. I'll live
with that, and I'll live with what's going on in
the new pac twelve. Right, I think I think if
that Hell, I think if we're looking back, I'll be
this is this sounds nuts. If we're sitting here in

(24:56):
six or seven, I'll probably be retired. But let's say,
let's say we're just talking on our text chain. After
I'm long retired in six or seven years and and
I'm like, and Jimmy's still there, that's probably not a
good thing, like what happened in those six or seven years,
unless he just decides, Man, I want to be the
mayor of Pullman. I'm going to love him after me.
But but I think you're right. I think all those
because there's old missus going the damn playoff and they

(25:19):
lost their coach, like, and they're in the SEC and
they got all the money in the world. Alex right,
you were down there. They got all kinds of money.
So yeah, so that's good. Mkay. Were you I saw
you smiling there when he.

Speaker 12 (25:28):
Was saying, you're not turning down ninety million dollars.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Oh I turned it down yesterday, buddy, Believe it or not.
The uh I saw you smile at Mkay. You love
the fact that's a defense first mentality too. I know
that that Araa drove you crazy for ten years, didn't.

Speaker 12 (25:41):
It drove me absolutely insane? Ian But but listen, I
love what Jimmy's doing. The defense. We're we're literally, you know,
a quarterback away a quarterback and a receiver away from
doing some big things. I love zeb but he's not
going to be the guy.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Right Well, so let me ask alexrol like, wherever they go, Memphis,
New Mexico, wherever they end up going for a bowl game?
How how if if Alex Sprink was on the coaching staff,
how would you approach it offensively? Would you try to
get Dougger or Potter some some snaps? I mean, I
know Zebby, it's like it's his last game. You got
to start him and let him do his thing. But
would you use that at all as a jumping the

(26:19):
springboard for next year?

Speaker 11 (26:21):
I mean, I think you could, and it wouldn't be
a problem. I also think if you don't, it's not
an issue either way, right Like I don't. I don't
like a quarter or two of snaps for Dugger or
Potter is not gonna be the difference in them finding
success the following year or not. If If anything, the
conversations more about if if Julian Dugger puts on tape

(26:44):
what he did last year in the bowl game, he
ends up somewhere else because everybody loves the tools he has,
or something.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Like that, you know what I mean, Like Okay, I
didn't think about that. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (26:52):
Again, like, I don't know that would happen either. I'm
just saying, like, those are the conversations you're having. So
you know, look, I think you you run out Zebbe
obviously him do his thing, and if the opportunity presents
itself or you have a very specific plan to get
those other guys in, Like, yeah, get them in, But
I don't think it changes the trajectory of the quarterback
position at Washington State one way or the other.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Mkay. What do you want to see out of the
bowl game?

Speaker 12 (27:12):
Uh? Well, one win?

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Uh one.

Speaker 12 (27:14):
I want to see myself and and sideline one on
the sideline and then and honestly, I just I just
want to see a clean game, you know what I mean.
I want to see a clean game. How that those
guys out there and have fun and end the season. Right.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'm with you, all right, fellas, Listen. I've enjoyed this

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Dave Power play Rod you buy our good friends Isquahana Caboda.

Speaker 7 (30:06):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Let's talk about this right now. Crack it off for
a couple of days. Need somebody to score goals, need
some help offensively. Still sitting in a playoff position, having
a very nice season, but they could use help offensively.
General manager Jason Botroll was meeting with the media today,
including our own Mike Benton. Take a listening, Jason, you weigh.

Speaker 14 (30:30):
A pretty delicate balance in between trying to remain competitive
but also usher the younger kids, the younger players here
into the mix. So as we get deeper into the
season and this team is still as well in the mix,
how real do you think it is to be active
in the trade market for upgrades this year versus waiting
it out and going for it even more next offseason
when you have the cap going up and other factors

(30:51):
to play as well.

Speaker 15 (30:52):
No, And the one thing I just I would push
back a little bit on. I believe our development helps
us win hockey games, and I think it's it's always
a fine balance of Hey, when does a player need
to be in the American Hockey League work and when
they come up National Hockey League, I think you see
a lot of our players, especially a guy like Ryan Winterton,
playing different roles penalty kill and everything like there, you
still want to continue to develop his offensive game. And

(31:15):
that's what I give our staff a lot of credit
behind the scenes, things that maybe our fans don't see
on game night, but on off days, just our staff
working with Ryan on his puck skills, working on is
offensive game in and around the net, but also through
video too. So I like that our staff continues to, hey,
how can Ryan help our team right now in the
nationalk League? How do we continue to work with Ryan

(31:36):
so he helps us down the road from there. But look,
it's a scenario that we're continuing to look at, you know,
in the trade market, on things that we can add
to our group and add different mixes to our group.
We have over the years certainly accumulated draft picks that
we we're certainly open to taking draft picks, but also
utilize them in different trades from the area. So it's

(31:56):
something that we continue to look at. But the one
thing I can to push back and one thing I
love that our coach staff is believed in is like, hey,
we develop these kids. That helps us win a lot
of hockey games, hopefully even this year.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Oh could I push back and watching pushing back on
my guy Benton, I will too. So Matti Vaniers has
three goals, he's your leading goal scorer. I'm sorry, check
that everly, I'm not all in terms of draft picks, Oh, okay,
got it, let's see. Yeah goals, Shane Wright has five,

(32:38):
Matty Beaneers has three, Janny Newman, who's played only fifteen games,
has three. Those your leading goal scores among your draft picks.
Young guys being developed, you need, you gotta find a
way to score goals, and it's just not happening with
this team right now. So I would push back bots.
I think, yeah, your young guy's development and good. You
just don't have a high end guy. In terms of offense.

(33:01):
You have really good hockey players, yes, really good hockey players,
but you've got a bunch of second and third line guys.
What Mikey was asking there, and I think this is
what a lot of fans and Andrew you helped me
out here tell me because I don't want to speak
for fans, but I'm gonna speak for fans, tell me
if I'm wrong. I think what fans want to see
is this team get aggressive and find the guy that
can put the puck in the net consistently, because you're
doing a great job at keeping the puck out of

(33:22):
the net. Yeah, your goalies are fantastic, all three of them.
Even though Murray's hurt goals against average before the last
two games, your goals against average was second in the league,
best second best in the league. You're scoring was thirty second.
There's thirty two teams, So I think, am I right
our fans wanting to see more people score? I know,
I'm out a text chain with you and some others.

(33:43):
Well I mean that.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, I think you have a lot of players where
that would be elevated if they had one of those
one or two of those high end players around them.
Right where if you're on at Dallas, a Colorado, a
New York, Vegas, those guys turn into fifty sixty seventy
point players because of the players that are around them. Correct,
But if you just try and build your roster with

(34:04):
those the supplemental players, which the Crack and I argue
you have done to this point right, they're not there.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
You're not gonna get to that.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Point right, I'd make you can make an argument with
Jade schwartz out that your best offensive players are both
guys that play in the blue line bred and they are.
They're fantastic, yes.

Speaker 12 (34:22):
But you need more than those guys.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
So yeah, it'd be interesting. I'm sure practice has been
quite pleasant this week for those guys after being shut
out in two of the last three games. So uh,
Laine Lambert, man, he's always offty in Fain tomorrow to
three forty five. I'm gonna tell you, like this guy
has red ass all the way through. Man, he is
no nonsense. I like it. I like a guy, you know.
I we show video every every intermission coming back going

(34:46):
into the third period or second period and third period,
like we show like the locker room, and I swear
the last couple of times screaming it looks like there's
it's not even it's just like you could see this
like very emphatic, like getting his lineup card, not like
yeah I make it. Man, you got sometimes you got
to put the whip on the horse down home stretch
right and the way you go, uh pick and choose
but yeah, Lane's not content to sit there and say, hey,

(35:09):
we're good defensively, but that No, the next step is
that so good stuff by Mikey. I'm pushing back on you.
Botch don't be pushing back on Ben. Don't be pushing
back on Bell defender. Guys don't don't listens, as I
would say. Gotta be a response here, Johnny. Gotta be
a response here.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
Who's gonna be responding.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
I'm responding to the Bell, I'm responding. I'm responding. I'm
backing up my guy, the captain. No, I love Botch.
Box is great. He's very open. I appreciate that with
him as well. Okay, we'll rank come back check in next.
John Lund, the cockroach that is the San Francisco forty nine.

Speaker 7 (35:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Well, last came about power rankings, like what he thinks
about that, like just especially in the NFC. All things
NFL with line.

Speaker 9 (35:52):
Next No from the Star Rentals Sports to us Jordan
ninety three point three JRFM Sports headlines.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Headlines brought to my frostpured course light, choose chill. Some
news coming out of Provo Salt Lake City, Utah, former
home of John Lund. Who's going to join us in
a second, any infants. Actually, they didn't let either one
of us live in Provo, nor would we want to
live in Provo.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Where'd you have to go?

Speaker 1 (36:21):
We live north like, not in Provo. But news coming
out of Provo. Klonie Sataki appears to be staying at BYU,
giving a big old he wouldn't do this, but a
big old middle finger to Penn State University.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Apparently they sold enough crumble cookies somewhere along the way,
and he's staying. He's sticking around, which is good. You
know what that's good for? What honestly good for college football?
I agree that I don't like BYU at all. I
really don't. No, I don't. The feeling's mutual, all right,
Patrice stick Down the Giants thirty three fifteen, Last night,

(36:57):
Monday night football. Jackson Darts first came back from injury.
He was okay, Drake May was better. Let's see what
else we got going on. Carter Hart making his debut
tonight for the Vegas Golden Knights. M okay, you do you, Carter.
Let's see what else you do? Vegas, Vegas, Oh Lake
and Tomlinson. Remember him starting guard for the c x LUs.

(37:17):
You're just cut today by the Houston Texas weird. All right,
let's get to John Lunt.

Speaker 9 (37:23):
Welcome to Ean's weekly visit with John Lund Unleashed. He's
a Bay Area media icon who's known Ian for over
twenty five years. But don't let their age change your
opinion of them. John takes you through the Bay Area
and the NFC West and Dupe's it out with Ian
over the Niners and the Hawks. So let's unleash it
now with John Lunn. Here's Ian.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
We'll get to one here in just a couple of seconds.
We're waiting to hear from him.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Answer your phone, John, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (37:52):
You know it's.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
I swear about the guy. He's like, he's you know,
you know how those you have these people that are
like really smart, yeah, but really stupid.

Speaker 13 (38:03):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
I think a lot of people in the building into that.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I don't know, because the first part is being really smart,
So I'll to go back really smart but kind of
like the dumbest smart person in the room. You know.
That's that's our guys. And he's always been that way.
He's just kind of if he was hot and blonde
and a female we just say, you know, that's the issue.
But he's none of the above. Well he's sort of blonde.
But that's it. I'm done ripping them. We'll get to

(38:29):
the line here in a second. One was jess Or
Andrews can track him down. We'll talk Seahawks in NFC.
You know, we're talking earlier about the power strup Where
would you put Chicago in that mix? Because we're just
talking about the best teams in the NFL dot Com
Power rankings that they like. Where would you put the
Chicago Bears into that mix? At nine and three? Do
we believe in the Bears? Because I mean I want

(38:49):
to not believe in them. I don't think I can
believe in them, but that that record doesn't lie. Philadelphia
looks what massively flawed. Andrews was talking about that earlier
when it seems to flawed Philadelphia. I don't know if
Jalen Hurts can figure out that he's got two elite
wide receivers on his team, that's weird.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
He just found a J Brown, I think for the
first time.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Which when you have that guy and this kind of
was the DK thing. Yeah, it was like, I don't
know if you call it a devil wide receiver or
how you want to guy wants the ball like he
has to. You have to get him the ball, and
you know hurts. I mean, DeVante's Smith been a little

(39:31):
bang up. The drop off for Saquon Barkley, and I
know Philip in the world of Philadelphia, it's great that
I was like, Oh, it's it's Lane. Johnson's her, Lane,
Johnson's her. What's going on? No, No, that's fine. A
lot of teams have problems there. Their drop off is
pretty significant. Tampa Bay beat Seattle. That's almost Notre Dame
Miami like there seemed to be a little bit better

(39:52):
right now though kind of flow. They're playing a horrible
division anyway, Green Bay. Maybe you're starting to hit it strive. Yeah,
I mean there's it's but then the team that just
still scares the daylights out of me in San Francisco,
which we'll get to here with John Lund here just
a couple of seconds. He joined us right now in
the be complteenting hotline. You know I was saying this earlier.
You know, you're you know London, like we all have

(40:14):
those friends like that are really smart, right, but they're
also but they're also kind of for me, but they're
kind of dumb. You're one of those smart dumb people.
That's what you are, like, cause you're a pretty smart
like I give you a credit. You're I've known you
for a long time. You're a pretty smart guy. But
you're kind of an airhead sometimes that's all that just yea, Yeah,
that's fair. Yeah, if you were hot, and if you're

(40:36):
hot blonde and a woman, that'd be awesome.

Speaker 13 (40:39):
Yeah that's I'm far from that. I'm more of the
elephant man. Yeah, I could not be further from a
I am a human tee.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
That's not hot blond.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
That's pretty much true. Although you know what, I gotta
tell the story because I don't feel it. So you
did marry a hot blonde. She was what we called
the fan girl back in the day.

Speaker 13 (40:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's that old you know,
you don't blank where you eat. It's bad. It was
a bad idea. But yeah, we had, Like you said,
I'm not very smart.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
We had the uh we had for everything. We had
the girls back back. That was back in the day
when you could do things like I don't know, Mitch's
bigger dance on the radio, and we had fangirls that
basically had just like Hooters girls like Halter tops and
went out with us and we did a remote down
in Portland with the fan. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (41:24):
It was incredible because they wouldn't even they wouldn't even
talk to us on remote. No, these girls would be
signing like posters, calendar things like that, and like you'd
be like, I'm over here and there guys are like
were you Well yeah, it was really embarrassing because there's
no one hanging out with us.

Speaker 7 (41:38):
Yeah, they just talk to the girls.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Married one of them, Yeah, you married one.

Speaker 7 (41:42):
You married one.

Speaker 13 (41:43):
Was really smart, it was really smart.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Really well, hey, listen, it went well for a day
or two probably. I mean, look, I got it.

Speaker 13 (41:53):
I got a great kid out of it.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
You got George a whole lot.

Speaker 13 (41:56):
Yeah, I mean, you know that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 13 (42:00):
He's not that bright either, but you know it's okay.

Speaker 7 (42:02):
We should bring that semester semester.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Well then, dude, more well, you're gonna get a raise.
I'm telling you right now. It's the greatest the world. Yeah,
it's when they when that happens. Oh, it's it's so awesome.
It's like, oh, well, I love that.

Speaker 13 (42:17):
I'm probably gonna do divorce number two at that point,
because you know, I would be like the money now
I'm here, because you're not listening, I'd be like.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Oh honey, I'm gonna I'm gonna circle back to what
I said at the start. You know, you know those
guys are really smart but also dumb. There you go,
there's another game example. All right, I love you, all right,
John Litten with us right now. So we were we
were talking earlier. It was in my headlines and uh
and we got brought up. I think it's you know,
it's fun because the NFL actually does determine who's good
by playing games on like college football. But you know,

(42:51):
we start talking about power rankings and things like that.
It's kind of fine. Rams number one, Seattle number two.
I don't know if I agree with number t. I
think Seattle still has some have to prove. Are the
Rams the best team in the NFL right now? Despite
the loss to Carolina?

Speaker 13 (43:05):
Yeah, I mean I'm sure you watch that game. I mean,
Carolina just had a lot of things going right for him.
They are better than what we think. There's no doubt.
You know, Seattle's got to play them late. The Niners
struggle with them a little bit. They're a lot better
than you me. Everybody knows who Dave Canalis is. He
stopped through Seattle and he's a great motivator. I don't
trust Bryce Young, but that's not the question. The question
is the Rams. The only reason I think the Rams

(43:27):
are better than the Seahawks. And look, I like Sam
Darnold man, but he's making me a little bit nervous.
I think he's probably making Seattle nervous. If people are
being honest. Matthew Stafford, if he's on his game, which
he generally is, then they're really tough to beat. You
have the defense, the one thing that I think and
he played well against the Seahawks, but he did not
play well and as the secondary, they didn't play well.

(43:47):
Can the Seahawks attack the Rams secondary. That's what's gonna
come down to in that big game. Because Forbes, who
has been a revelation for them when they picked him
up from Washington, he was terrible in the Carolina game.
And they with those young receivers and they're big, they
got good size on them. You know, can Donald get
enough time in the pocket and make them pay because

(44:09):
everybody's got an achilles heel, and with Seattle, you know,
Donald's making me nervous. The defense is fine, can they
run the ball effectively enough? And you guys who had
a million conversations about that. The achilles heel for the
Rams is their secondary and as good as their front
seven in as good as they are getting to the
quarterback and creating chaos, if they don't do that on
a consistent basis, then that leaves their secondary vulnerable. And

(44:30):
that's why Carolina beat them on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
When is a team in your area gonna go away
like they're like our Midday guy brought this up, and
I agree. It's they're like a cockroach like you just
like you cannot kill them. They just are still there
nine and four. Like it's it's remarkable what Kyle's done
with that team. But I keep thinking they're gonna fall off,
and they don't.

Speaker 7 (44:51):
Well I think they again.

Speaker 13 (44:53):
I get it. I know where I am. So we're
talking to Seahawks man, So you're not gonna be you're
not going to agree with this. But if there's a
Coach of the Year, and Kyle Shanahan should be it,
and there just should be no question about it. They
have more money on the books. As far as players
not playing for them, they're paying people Shamuel thirty million
dollars not to play for them. The brand and Ayuk situation,

(45:15):
I'm sure you guys have stayed up on it. He's
a complete joke. You love the term dumpster fire, and
so do why that's what he is. Bosa is out,
warners out. All those different things are going on, and
yet and party has missed most of the season. All
these different things have gone wrong, and yet here they are.
And I don't know why, and I don't know how,
but they're they're just doing it defensively. I have no

(45:36):
idea what kind of wizardry Robert sala is kind of spell,
what kind of a you know, whether it's to deal
with the devil. They should not be playing this kind
of defense. I'd get at Shadura Sanders got exposed. He's terrible.
That's a horrible It's such an overrated story. But back
to what you're asking, I mean, they really haven't had
consistent performances from anyone outside of maybe Kittle, McCaffrey, Trent Williams.

(46:00):
Like there's a handful of guys. Everybody else is, you know,
a second third string player, young player. I don't know
how they're doing it, but it does illustrate, whether you
want to admit it or not, sitting in Seattle, that
Kyle Shanan is one of the top coaches in the league.
Whether he gets the award or not.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, he I mean he's on a remark. They've made
great personal decisions. I thought when they let Hufongo walk,
I thought that was a crazy move. I thought that
was nuts, like what you're doing. And I mean he's
starring for denverybody think.

Speaker 13 (46:24):
Think about this. I don't mean to interrupt, you know,
but they got pissed. Everyone got upset because Greenlaw left.
He's done nothing in Denver. He's been hurt a lot.
How fun that we all knew, at least in San
Francisco that he was done all these different guys. You
saw Hardgrave for the Vikings. He was a big he
was an eighty million dollars signing by the by the
forty Nandersy. I think you have one good play in
that game against the Seahawks. He's nothing special. I mean,

(46:46):
they let a bunch of guys go. Deebo Shamuel is
fat and out of shape. They made the right decision
on him. So all these guys who were names who
used to be part of the glory days. So the
forty nine ers got released and everybody's up in ours
now and they even eight months at the same time.
But yet those guys have gone to other teams.

Speaker 7 (47:03):
And they haven't done anything.

Speaker 13 (47:05):
Funga has, in Greenlaw has and Deebo hasn't. Like that
whole group of guys that were a big part of
this rival between the Seahawks and the forty nine ers,
they let them all go. And I'm not saying all
the guys that they replaced him with have played well,
but the majority have.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
That's that's the John Schneider formula two, right, I mean,
let Russ walk, let Gino walk, let DK walk. I
mean stuff like that. Let those guys go, don't you know?
And no, when to not sign a guy to a
second or third or fourth contract, whatever it might be.
And those are hard things to do, man, It's hard
to sit there and go, eh. I think. I think

(47:39):
like the DK thing is a great example. I know
they struggled with it, but you know, like he's he
just hasn't been the guy, everything's there, just has never clicked.
And now we're on team number two. Now you can
make an argument that he's had bad quarterback play in Pittsburgh,
but nevertheless it's team number two. They let him walk,
they don't have to pay him, and well and behold,
they got a guy that's probably a first team all

(47:59):
pH JSN has taken over. What when you watch Sam
Darnald the last few weeks, do you see do you
see red flags?

Speaker 7 (48:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (48:09):
I mean what I see is kind of here. I
know this isn't the exact comparison, but I'm seeing a
little bit from what I saw Kaepernick from Kaepernick at
the end. And it don't get me wrong, Donald is
leaps and downs ahead of that. But what I'm seeing
is is that when he's getting pressure, and what forced
Kaepernick out of the league is none of the things
that happened off the field. It was that when the

(48:29):
rush came and they took away read one in two,
his eyes went down. The rush started to come down,
come in, and his eyes went down and he got nervous.
And what we're starting to see from Donald now is
that when the rush is coming, he's not keeping the
eyes downfield. He's not staying confident in the pocket. He's
getting the happy feed. He's doing those kinds of things
that that people complained about at Minnesota and one of

(48:50):
the reasons why they didn't re sign him was the
end of that year and they were like, can this
guy be relied upon? Look, I think that this is
such a good team and a good offense and Kubiaks
then these great things, and he's got the players around them.
They're going to be fine. But there is a bit
of what the Rams did not every team can do.
But putting that kind of pressure on him, he does

(49:11):
look skittish in the pocket and his effectiveness is gone.
Now I realize what Brian Flores is a hell of
a defensive coordinator. First of all, he's given Kyle Shannan
we just talked about. He's given Kyle Shannan a lot
of trouble throughout the years of his boots, packages and
different things that he does. So Brian Flor is a
little bit different. The Rams doing what they're doing is
a little bit different. But those are the kind of

(49:32):
teams you're going to see in the playoffs. And to me,
and you tell me if I'm wrong here, the expectation
level has grown with the Seax. A few told fans
at the beginning of the season, Hey, they'll win eleven
twelve games, getting in the playoffs, maybe get to the
second round. I think the Seahawks fans would be ecstatic.
But now the better you get, the more that the
expectations rise. And now with all the san you just
mentioned power rankings, I think people in Seattle are thinking

(49:56):
this is a super Bowl team. Well, I think there's
a lot of optimism and reason for that, but you
don't you have to question whether Sam Darnold can do
it against the better competition, because now you're looking at
a Rams team. You're not that Minnesota's got a great,
great defense, but Flora's is a great defensive coordinator. Are
are they going to be able to play this way
and be this good against the better teams in the

(50:16):
league who are going to shut down the long passing
game and say, Okay, you're gonna have to go fourteen
to fifteen plays eighty eighty five yards on them. Yeah,
and they do that consistently.

Speaker 10 (50:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
I think John Long with it. I think, you know,
he's got to prove it against I mean with Owen,
you know, lose to the Rams, lose the forty nine ers, right,
I mean, those are the those are your tests so far,
those are those are litmus tests. So you got to
be and frankly, if you don't beat you got to beat.
You gotta beat the Rams in two weeks because if
you don't, you're not gonna win the division and you'll
be a wild card team. Which is fine. I mean,
get in the playoffs, that's just the first goal.

Speaker 13 (50:44):
But as long as you play the South, as long
as you play either Tampa or the Panthers, I guess
you should be okay. But I get your point, which
is you'd much rather just win the division right and
deal with the consequence of that, although, like I said,
I hate playing this game. The four or five matchup
is Tampa or the Carolina the if you're two or three,
you might get you might get Philly or something in

(51:04):
the first round, so you could play that game, but
you're My point is is that you want to do
this thing right and get as high of a seat
as you possibly can.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Well, the other part of it is too. If you're
Seattle and Green Bay and you know you got to
look back at San Francisco because I think what you
just said is key. You start looking at the matchups
right now. Your first round matchup would be the Rams
in San Francisco. How about that?

Speaker 3 (51:27):
That's awesome?

Speaker 10 (51:28):
Huh like that the Rams really?

Speaker 13 (51:30):
Well, you'd be a Niners fan then, right, yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Oh yeah, no yeah, no, no, no, no, you would
be because you think because you you'd rather take your
chances with as many you know, things go on and
gone well for San Francisco. Still take your chances there
as opposed as Matt Stafford. Yeah, you're that would be
the one matchup. Philadelphia Green Bay also a first round matchup,
and then Tampa Bay Seattle. Yeah, you're like, you better

(51:54):
finish fifth. Really you want to finish fifth because you're right,
even though Tampa Bay came up here and beat Seattle,
sales defense is way better now than it wasn't and
that I'll take that all day. I'm still I brought
this up with Andrews earlier. Do we believe it all
in Chicago? Like, like really can't? That's like that's a mirage,
that's that's that's the lake in the middle of the desert,

(52:14):
isn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 13 (52:16):
Well, here here's what I don't understand, and look, sports
doesn't always have to make sense. And it's not because
I'm not a Caleb Williams guy, But I don't know.
It's one of those things. They're kind of like Washington
a year ago. To me is that I like what
they do. They've got a lot of talent on that team,
but Cayle, at the end of the day, it's about quarterback.
Playing the playoffs. Caleb Williams is a sub sixty percent

(52:37):
completion guy. Now, I know that's a bit like batting average.
I understand that, but still, I just you know, he's
made plays and it's mattered all those kind of things.
I get it. I just think in the playoffs, the
smoking mirrors that's going on with the Bears right now,
that's just not gonna work. Now, well, I just I
just think you're gonna have a good defensive game plan
against him, and you're gonna say, look, we'll stop the

(52:58):
run and all these kind of things. You got to
make sure you beat us. And they do have some
talent around him. I'm not saying that they don't, but
I'm just simply saying I don't trust Caleb Williams. And
when you get into the playoffs and you're looking at
one score games generally three four point games. Is he
going to be able to, you know, take his team
down the field like he's been able to do in
the regular season plus the other thing, And look, you

(53:19):
can only play who's in front of you. I understand
that they haven't played the best schedule, just like New
England hasn't played the best schedule. So you know, we'll see.
But yeah, we are completely dismissing the Bears, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Fine with that. Joe joining us right now. And we
move back to Sola for a second. In this day
and age in which all these coaches are leaving in
college and running around guys getting second chances. The job
he's done there this year, does he get a second
chance as a head coach in the NFL? I mean
he went to basically, you know, the the dungeon, the
purgatory of all things NFL before nobody can win there.

(53:52):
I mean, Aaron Glenn's finding that out right now, right,
I mean, it's it's impossible. And that dumpster fire of
us of an organization to use that term against right now, right,
I mean, it is, They're awful. I'm aware, Joe Joe
Willie named I think coming back anytime soon. Aware, this
isn't this is in the late sixties, this is this
is now. They're not good. Uh does Salli get a chance?

(54:14):
Because I think we'd all like to see him go
somewhere else and get the hell out of San Francisco. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (54:18):
Yeah, you know, if you ever sat down to talk
with this guy, he is the Dictionary definition of leader
of men. He is just he is so good and so.
What I mean why I'm saying that is that when
he gets in a situation where he's interviewing, the owner
is just going to be, you know, very excited. Uh
you know, they're just gonna be like, oh my god,
we've got to hire this guy. So but here here's

(54:39):
the question, because I've talked to roberts All about this recently,
which is now he's got to be selected because, like
you said, the Jets, Jets are a complete dumpster fire.
I have no idea what anybody gets out of being
a jetsman. They won the Super Bowls in sixty nine.
What exactly do you get out of being a jetstory
toughness and resiliency, Yeah right, you can get that in
a lot of different ways. A I have a child

(55:01):
that'll treat all those that you don't need to be
a Jets fan. But anyway, that's a sidebar. My point
is is that now it's up to Robert Sala because
as bad as the Jets situation is, that was your
first chance, your second one better be right or you
may not get a third. So you look at a
guy like Mike Shanahan goes to Al Davis and the
Raiders stinks, goes to Denver win Super Bowls. You can
be a great coach, and you know Bill Belichick went

(55:21):
to the Browns before he went to the Patriots. It
happens all the time. But you better hit on the
second one because then then the league starts going, well,
maybe it's you. And so you know, there's a lot
of opportunities. There's gonna be a lot of opportunities in
this league, and I think that Salo is going to
be near the top for a lot of them. But
he's got to be selective in the job that he
takes because if you take a job like Mike McDonald
did in Seattle, there's a history there of being successful,

(55:45):
and so you're going to go into that situation thinking Okay,
I could be successful. You go to the Jets, you
go to the Giant. I could see the Giants wanting
to get him, because what happens a lot of times
is Brian Dables an offensive mind. What do you want
to do next time you want to go to defense?
A lot of times owners will go to the office
and of what they just had. So I could see
them saying, well, he knows what New York is about.
Let's you know, they've got some defensive pieces. But if

(56:07):
I'm Robert Solid, there's no way I go to the Giants.
It's just a dysfunctional organization. So long way to answer
your question, which is yeah, I think Solo will get
an opportunity, and if he wants a job, he'll be
out of this division, which is good news for everybody
else in the division. But now it's up to him
to be selective. He's not going to just jump at
any opportunity get Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
I mean, is he Steve Spagnola or is he a
guy that can get is he Belichick and Carol or
what have you? Right? And you know, great coordinator that
should just stay a coordinator or do you end up
being a good head coach if as you say, you're
sitting across from a guy leader, a man, a guy
that can do all those things. And you know that's
that's good, all right? That yeah, which good. Get him

(56:47):
the hell out of San Francisco. Let him go someplace else. Yeah,
he can move on anytime. Maybe go somewhere in the AFC.
That'd be even better, all right. One tell people the
new ventures all things NFL you're doing these days.

Speaker 13 (56:58):
Yeah, at PFB wire pro football Wire, So we handled
we handled everything across the board. So it's a Pro
Football Wire on YouTube, and then it's at PFB wire
on x and Instagram and all those different places. So
we put up all sorts of videos, different things, opinions.
We'll finished up the website, which I should have done
a long time ago, but I'm very lazy. Uh. And
so it's great at PSB wire. All teams all the time.

(57:21):
That's our logo, our slogan, all teams all the time.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I love it. Check it out.

Speaker 13 (57:25):
That pretty good?

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Yeah, who came up with that?

Speaker 6 (57:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (57:31):
Everything in this business is stolen search sure as hell
wasn't made come up with anything.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
I mentioned this before we were waiting for uh, Colonisaaki
probably stayed at Buyu. Apparently they sold some Crumble cookies
and the church said that aning out to keeping them there.

Speaker 13 (57:44):
Imagine that, you know, they sold some Coke Cola stock
and then they ended up keeping them. What's amazing, Like
he was never going to leave. We both know this guy.
He was a pullback at the Buyu that he was
at Utah, the Strits coordinator, his all of his families
at b YU. Like, it's it's a different deal there,
plus recruiting for him versus returning. It's just a different deal.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Well, it's it's here's the thing that Penn stage job,
James Franklin winning ten eleven games every year, got fired.

Speaker 13 (58:11):
And it wasn't good enough.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Yeah yeah, Like meanwhile, you're.

Speaker 13 (58:14):
Get a good but just get a good buyout. Like
I mean, if I was James Franklin, I'd be on
an island. I'd never work again. But he wants to
go back to coaching at Virginia Tech. That's fine whatever,
But I mean he could have been like Brian Kelly
and just got fifty million dollars. So it's really not
a bad job because if you get fired, you get
fifty million dollars not to work, which is my goal.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
How much would it take for me? It would only
take like five million if.

Speaker 13 (58:36):
You exactly, somebody's gonna pay you not to work whenever
he goes. What's the best job in the world, paid
not to work?

Speaker 7 (58:44):
The best job A lot of money.

Speaker 13 (58:46):
Yeah, yeah, that's the best of the world.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
I don't have to go back. I'm gonna go back
and prove something to kJ R. I'm gonna work again. No,
I'm good, see.

Speaker 13 (58:55):
Exactly, I'm gonna We're.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Gonna go down to Santa Clair and bother one. That's
what I'm to do. I'm gonna go down and bother you.

Speaker 13 (59:02):
I mean, I know you. I know you say you
like the people you work with. But let's be honest.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Come, I only say that publicly, all right, imagine. Hey,
the worst thing is I don't want to think about
what they say behind my back before I get in.

Speaker 13 (59:16):
Every day I've talked to him. It is not nice.
Would really hurt your ego, really hurt your feelings. But
I was sworn to secrecy.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Yeah, exactly. Nothing says it. Nothing says keeping a secret
like telling them one. All right, we'll talk to you soon.
Take care of my buy see you shut out the door.
There's there's our ugly blonde. She's gone just like that.
Her name is John. Okay, what are we at? We'll
take a break, come back, maybe check a text or
two if I can get the thing to work. Otherwise

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
Okay, thank you, there we go the what's our website?

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
That's why I asked the question.

Speaker 12 (01:01:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
I didn't know what the website was. Okay, the it's
not nine am anymore. No, no, so I'm looking here.
There's been one. There's been one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven picks. Six picks made already today before Jess. One
pick's already in the books for the week that will
be a win by us. M Andrews. Give me update

(01:01:34):
the the winning streak we're on.

Speaker 5 (01:01:36):
We are on an eight pick winning streak, all right.
So that's all of last week, this pick, and then
all of the week prior as well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
So let's get to the pick, Jess, let's keep that thing.
Let's let's make it lucky number nine. What he got?

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
All Right, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
This is not even though there's three teams in New York, right,
this is not me rooting with my heart.

Speaker 4 (01:01:56):
Okay, I'm not paid.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
I can confirm there are three teams in the state
of New York yet, right, Jet's Giants.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
The Bills two of them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I have, you know, some personal affinity for Okay, I'm
going with the other one, the Bills minus five and
a half as they take on at home take on
Cincinnati this weekend. So Bills minus five and a half.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
I think they're going to smoke them.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Bills minus five and a half hosting the Bengals hosting
the Bengals. Fact four nine, four or five one? If
you disagree, fiction four nine four or five one.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
What I'm just? I'm just and I and the pick
it's juicy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Trey Hendrickson still out. I don't think Joe Burrow is
even close to being.

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
What he is capable of.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
And well, one team's one team's four and eight and
the other one is eight and four something to play for.
One team's kind of getting a little desperation mode, the
other one's or wine mailing it in.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
Yes, exactly, and so I have to pick.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
I think this feels like nine straight wins for US nine.
Have you updated the show or host Stanningxanders?

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
They are updated, not through yesterday's win, it's through last week.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Just look and see what yesterday's win does for us.
That would make US twenty six and thirty one, Just
for a point of reference, that would be one game
behind Softy and Dick. I bring that up for this reason.
It's interesting listening to their show yesterday and Jackson giggling
and googling all over.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
Him, say, can they have a chance to catch Chuck
and Buck?

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
They better be worried more about not finishing behind us. Yeah,
we're one game back. This is a this is another win.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
Is a very Jackson thing to do.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
It's hyper ventilating.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
I think it's like the excitable part of it. Yeah,
yet he gets excitable.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
And he should love the enthusiasm. They're jf But here's
the problem. You better worry about us, you know, shouldn't
be worried about Chuck and Buck. They'd have to run
the table this week to getch Chuck and Buck. There
are five games back and midday we got have a
little harder time catching him. They're three up on us.
Actually they're two up on us after yesterday. What little

(01:04:04):
hard time. I think we're gonna get ourselves out of
the basement.

Speaker 4 (01:04:07):
Man, I think so too.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
And by the way, I just realized, I know no
one took my pick, but Chris took the opposite of.

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
Me, didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
I always end up picking the same game, except he
made the wrong choice early except Natty. Yeah, and at
the time he picked it was uh, yep, it was
a five point spread.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
I got it five and a half. Pretty similar, But yeah, he.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
Took difference because it pushes a fiction anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
Yeah, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
Yeah, the hook doesn't usually matter. So oh, we like this,
Thank you very much. All right, Buffalo minus five and
a half against Cincinnati. Fact text four nine four or
five one. If you disagree, you'll text fiction to four
nine four or five one.

Speaker 7 (01:04:44):
Why do you do that?

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
You want to win a thousand dollars weekly prize, ten
thousand dollars grand prize. We were running out of time.
This is the final week of fact or fiction. Always
kind of a bummer, but your last week to have
a chance to win one thousand dollars. And if you're
in contention, and there's a couple dozen or so people
at least in contention, make sure you get your picks
in at four nine, four to five to one. Every
pick will matter, Every pick means something. So text in

(01:05:08):
right now four nine, four five to one fact or
fix and remember spelling does count. Did we get a
bounce back? Is a bounce back working?

Speaker 7 (01:05:16):

hear your inner thoughts.

Speaker 16 (01:10:46):
Somebody's got to hear them. I hear my thoughts all
the time because the voices in your head? Tons, how
many voices do you have in your head? Millions going
on at one time? To pick and shoose the one?

doing this segment, man, Because Jackson walked in right when
you spit your coke out and hurt anime porn, and
then he shook his head and walked away. He doesn't know.
He's disgusted. I want you to bring it up again.
