In the very next segment, what. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.480 You know, there's no NBA games on Thursday, None on Thanksgiving. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.919 No, they're trying to be cool because they try to 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.639 take Christmas, but the NFL is punching back and trying 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:24.760 to take Christmas back. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.600 They conceeding know that the NFL's got triple header on Thanksgiving, 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:29.560 we're not competing. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.760 With I don't think they've ever been NBA games on Thanksgiving. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.600 Probably because of that concession. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.560 But the concession used to be reciprocated with no NFL 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:40.600 on Christmas. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.520 And that changed. The NFL wants it all. They want 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.120 to gobble everything up. They want to take over with 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.320 their draft. They want to take over when the NBA 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.880 is raging in the playoffs. They want to suck up 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.880 all the air during the draft. And the combine the 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.880 NFL and their corporate ways and their a whole attitude 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.960 me the cool NBA tunnel walk anytime those guys wear 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.440 a vest with their nipples out love It minor sports 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:12.360 stories and Great Sports Talk Sports stories for Great Sports 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:23.560 Talk Dog Park. Now, don uh, this is a very 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.120 interesting story. If you've ever been to Boise, did you 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:32.599 know that Boise, the Boise State Broncos have a dog 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.920 on the field on the blue turf and that dog 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.560 barks a whole bunch and is very excitable and runs 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.440 out and grabs the kickoff tea for charity. 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.200 I've seen that and runs it back. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:46.839 Well. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.040 Saturday night in Boise was senior night and Senior night, 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:54.279 as you know, very emotional for everybody involved, especially the families. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.680 And it was also the last game for Blitz the dog. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:05.440 Why after eight seasons Blitz is retiring from his duties 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.120 of retrieving the kickoff tea after every single kickoff? And 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.360 it is distracting because they play like a dog barking 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.280 sound in the stadium and you're like, you know, it's 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.800 herb Street here, what's going on?

Right, they come to performance. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.240 Don't know how you're gonna replace. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:56.320 Him, I know. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.680 And there's like a cockiness to Blitz that I just 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.280 absolutely love because in the you have to run, I think, 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.600 to the twenty five yard line, get your tea, and 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.719 then come back and Blitz will steal your tea, go 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.800 get his own.

That is a good boy. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.520 A great report there from those two guys, Terrence and 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.600 Philip up in a beautiful Boise, Idaho. A local news Yeah, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:35.480 come on, I told you KTVB channel seven. Terrence and 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:40.720 Philip holding it down the American field. Lab has been 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.800 a fixture of the Blue turf, sprinting onto the field 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.480 after kickoffs. His athletic career did extend beyond football. He 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:51.040 also collected baseball bats for the Boise Hawks, making him 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.080 one of the few working dogs to serve two Boise 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.280 sports franchises. He comes from an accomplished lineage. His father, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.480 Cowboy Cole, was the prime tea dog at Boise State 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.680 before his death. When it came time to find his successor, 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:09.320 Blitz emerged as the natural choice from amongst his siblings, 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.160 selected for his speed, accuracy, and love of the game. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.800 It does not say arrogance here, they use yeah, I'm sorry. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:23.720 The family's contributions to collegiate athletics stretch beyond Idaho. Blitz's 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:29.560 half brother, Ripkin, took the tradition to the Atlantic Coast, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.839 where he retrieves teas for my friend. Oh that's great 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:39.360 for coach, I mean really, coach Doring at North Carolina State. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:45.079 Dave Dorian At North Carolina State, they have Blitz's brother, Ripkin, 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.320 and he also collects bats with the Durham Bulls. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:50.559 Pretty sweet, yep. 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:56.240 Stepping in to answer your question, don, Stepping into Blitz's 0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:02.720 role will be Bourbon.

But I've been there, 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.960 and the one thing that always trips me out is, 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.400 I mean, you've seen so much Boise State football in 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.440 the last twenty five years because of what Chris Peterson 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.839 and even Dirt Cutter before him, what those guys built, 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.800 and Dan Hawkins, and we've seen so many games. When 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.480 I finally got up there, I was like, this is 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.800 it it's just a big ass press box. It's only 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.280 thirty thousand people stadium, and people go off side more 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.760 than any other place. It's so loud. The dog barking 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.440 makes it loud too. I mean, it's a hell of 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.760 a home field advantage. And it's not what you think 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.440 when you watch it on TV. It's full, but it's 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.520 not big. The press box is big. The press box 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.200 is like a skyscraper on. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.280 Is it the same size? Is the San Diego State 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:04.320 News Stadium. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.640 A little smaller? And I like that San Diego State Stadium. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.720 I wish they could draw. I think their prices are 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.080 way too high and they're pricing out the people because 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.040 the Latinos go in there for soccer and light off 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.520 the fireworks and fill that place up. We'll be right 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.239 back with Kirk Morrison. There's a dog in him too, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:22.800 a linebacker. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.760 We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.480 you this summer.

I wasn't I wasn't sure them. Don 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.520 McClain was allowed to work without JB. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:37.840 Long. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:39.880 So it's great to see you or talk with you. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:40.200 Don. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.840 So he's not allowed, Kirk, he's not allowed to work 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.480 without me. Yeah, we don't let him on the air here. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.800 His pants are too tight. We don't let that guy 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.680 around here. His pants are way too tight. You gotta 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.520 have a sag to come on the Petrol some money show. 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:56.200 You know that, Kirk? 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:58.960 How did you how do you make it out of Vegas? 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.080 By the way, p how did you make. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:06.720 A weekend. Look, I stayed right in that little cluster 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.360 of hotels right by Allegiate with all the Hawaiian people, 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.800 and when I was leaving, I saw the Cleveland people 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.880 coming in. I rolled out realer. I pulled out like 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.200 bigger and mccrack and I pulled out really early on 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.960 that one and got my ass to San Diego to 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.440 see the Aztecs are having a great year, and they're 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.760 doing it defense that's gonna make you happen to it. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.000 So I got a long drive ahead of me. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.920 We got to ask you because I know it's been tough. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.720 I mean, look, I got Michigan State Maryland this week. 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.920 But it's not what you do. You you do this 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.760 every single week with a team that's really struggling. So 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:47.320 why and how, in your expert opinion, which is very coveted, 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:48.800 are the Raiders this bad? 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.200 Oh man, It's a lot of things. P It was 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.000 like the old Scantron test, right, Sometimes you just go 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.720 with d all of the above, and I got a 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.160 lot of those when it comes to this team this year. 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:06.320 I think number one is that I'll start with you 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.719 know what happened this week with Chip Kelly being relieved 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.919 as his duties as offensive coordinator. His offense that we 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.000 saw at Ohio State that you know, won a national 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.760 championship just has not mirrored the talent that the Raiders 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.600 have currently on their roster. You know, there's o Quinn, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.960 Shawn Jenkins, or Trevion Henderson or Jeremiah Smith or even 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.760 Will Howard for that matter. That that offense worked well there. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.320 It has not worked well with Ashton gent and Geno 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:34.879 Smith and Brock Bauers. 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:36.480 So that's just one part of it. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.400 Geno Smith hasn't been good at all as much as 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.040 we expected. Gino's supposed to come in and be be great. 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:44.760 He's turned the ball over too much. And I think 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:49.560 Geno will tell you that he said in his press conferences. Look, 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.240 I haven't been the best version of myself, and I 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.120 think that's been the frustrating part. And it's just an 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.200 offensive line that without the U c l A grad 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.760 Cold Miller, who's been out for the last couple of games, 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.720 this wasn't a very very good offensive line. And you 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.240 add all of those things up and just pee it 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.000 just didn't It didn't look right, and you fall to 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.280 a team like the Cleveland Browns with Shador Sanders making 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:19.359 his first start. I think your old buddy Pete Carroll 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:24.119 just said, you know what I've seen enough. We appreciate 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.560 the efforts, Chip, but we got to move in a 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.280 different direction because it was that bad. 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.040 Well I was going to ask you that, Kirk, because 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.800 in any sport, when an assistant gets fired mid season, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.240 sometimes it's for the optics, like to get the fan base. Oh, 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.560 it must have been the coordinator or the assistant coach, 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.040 so it kind of takes the heat off of the 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:45.159 head coach. But it sounds like with this roster it 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:49.000 was about the performance. But does a new coordinator or 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.680 whoever's taken over, is it going to change that dramatically 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:52.480 the rest of the year. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.480 Well, I'll tell you this. He's fired two coordinators now, 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.000 so this is the second one. He fired Tom McMahon, 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.720 the special teams coordinator two weeks ago, and so now 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.000 to Kelly's the second coordinator fired. Now everybody's looking at 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.480 Patrick Graham, who was the defensive coordinators, say are you 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:11.040 up next? 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:11.600 Possibly? 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.120 But I think to answer your question, don it's when 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.080 you look at the way the roster will sort of 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.720 set out. It just looks to me that this, we 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.840 thought the roster was a lot better than it really was. Uh, 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.800 they don't necessarily have a number one wide receiver. They 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.919 don't have a guy who can create separation. They've got 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:34.160 a couple of receivers that they drafted high in the draft. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.640 Jack Besch is the second rounder out of TCU and 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.760 Dante Thorton's a fourth rounder out of out of Tennessee, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:42.960 and I think he can help me out with this. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.359 They still look to the sideline and get the roster 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.320 running right That offense. 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.760 Umber on their wrist. 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.040 You know what I mean When they all look to 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.920 the sideline in college for what they're going to run 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.240 and then they turned back and you know then to play. 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.840 That's not how the NFL works. And that's what you've 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.160 seen with some of these younger players who they drafted 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.000 and you expected to play, and none of these guys 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.320 have been ready. They drafted two offensive linemen in the 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.000 third round and both of them have not played this year. 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:17.200 So that's also something don that a new offensive coordinator 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.240 has to figure out. But third time may be a 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.800 charm as Greg Olsen, who's net will be the third 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.800 time as the Raiders offensive coordinator Stint so that's what's 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:28.640 going on right now. 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.720 The Great Kirk Morrison as our guest. We're talking Raiders 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.640 because the Raiders and the Chargers are playing on Sunday. Kirk, 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.680 how is Pete Carroll handling the whole thing? I mean, 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.720 this guy hasn't had a lot of losing seasons like this, 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.800 maybe ever in his life. He's and he's old, like, 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:45.080 how's that going? 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:52.760 He was like every contractor in Califax, right, job contractor, right, 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:54.480 he's going over. He's like, I'm not going to repair 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.480 this home and do this home and do this home. 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.280 I've done it before, I've rebuilt it. Look at me 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:03.760 at ucl See, look at me over at Seattle. I 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.240 can come in and I can rebuild the Raiders right away. 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.080 And then you walk in and you realize, waite, I 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.280 don't have the permits for this. I don't have the 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:16.080 permits for that. I don't have the manpower to do this. 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.440 I don't have this. And you realize the job that 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:24.200 you took on maybe a lot more than you can handle. 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:26.520 And I think that he tried to do it his 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:32.160 way early on, and then it's like wait, wait, wait, okay, yeah, 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.560
