  • Yuck

    I used to listen religiously for few years but kjr is gone off deep end. Low level guests, constant yelling low level guests. Soccer talk, same ole debates and running out Hugh Millen who can’t form a sentence and who rambles on about nothing. Team 710 Brock and Salk!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Softy and Dick 9-29 Hour 2: Husky Honks on the Minnesota Loss, Looking Ahead to USC
Q: What's your gut feel for this USC game Saturday, Greg?
Lewis says Washington's chances depend partly on whether USC responds to its recent loss and turmoil by playing hard. He believes USC has more talent and scoring ability, and doubts Washington can keep pace unless the Trojans underperform.
Softy and Dick 9-29 Hour 2: Husky Honks on the Minnesota Loss, Looking Ahead to USC
Q: So, it's Brian Bonner, it's Ansu Sanow, it's Demond Williams, Lange, whatever. So, you know, like Rick Neuhuisel has been on this show, and he is, I think, sarcastically, although I'm not certain, we'll find out Thursday, recommended option football. How do you do that when you haven't practiced it all year long?
Greg Lewis recommends using Williams as a mobile quarterback with read options, designed draws and rollouts rather than relying on a traditional option system. Mario Bailey also supports adding an option package or other designed runs to get Williams the ball.
Softy and Dick 10-7 Hour 2: Petros Papadakis, Jedd Fisch Playcalling
Q: For all those critical Husky fans out there who take umbrage with your statement that Jedd Fisch called a good game, what do you say to them?
Papadakis said Fisch made effective calls with the personnel available, including a running-back pass to the tight end near the goal line, while acknowledging Washington's roster and development problems.
Softy and Dick 10-7 Hour 2: Petros Papadakis, Jedd Fisch Playcalling
Q: How did things go for you on Saturday at your alma mater?
Papadakis enjoyed returning to the Coliseum with a credential and broadcasting solo, but said the game-day atmosphere felt detached from the USC experience he remembered.
Softy and Dick 10-7 Hour 3: Kevin Harlan, Mariners Manager Search, Fun With Audio
Q: Did the Hawks make a mistake in letting him go? And is there any part of you that is concerned about how much Andy's using the guy?
Harlan says Walker's heavy workload is a concern because running backs get injured, but believes the Chiefs' use of him as a three-down back and his motivation to prove himself have contributed to his performance.
