Get to the freaking auto!

From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports. Brock Ewerd is my hero. James Heuter just punched me in the kidney. We're going to give you what I'm in. That really worked that way, Sherman. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of does, though. Now here are your hosts, Brock Ewerd and Mike Salk. Hello! Hello!

A lot ago, the great hitman was in.

I mean, let's give some credit to Salk.

Salk's not missed a lot of days.

So hitman, you've not been in a lot.

And in fact, Daniel Jeremiah coming up to 30 minutes will be the first time that I think Salk's been out for a Daniel Jeremiah show

or did you fill in actually the day that was at a DJ show I think that might have been a DJ show.

Brady did a couple back to back. That's when Daniel Jeremiah started making fun of Salk for never being there. Right. That's right. But not a lot, Brady. Not a lot. But I do remember, I do remember four or five weeks ago, you saying very clearly, yeah, I feel like it's the end. The wheels are coming off. You just can't survive. Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Brock Purdy, George Kittle, the old 49ers, their wagon, those wheels up in Gold Rush territory, they're done. They're over. And I don't know, I looked up last night, and well, there they are again.

Eight wins, beat up Carolina team, got after those guys,

Bryce Young, who were playing for a first place position, the NFC South,

and made those guys look very mortal.

So two questions, Brady.

Number one, are the San Francisco 49ers still live and viable?

And number two is the NFC West the best division in all of the NFL.

Yeah, the San Francisco 49ers are still viable.

They're eight and four.

Now, I feel like getting the Denny Green soundbite queued up because it sounds like you want to crown them right now.

My friend is 12 games into the season.

Okay, there's still five games left to go.

But no, yeah.

They are who we thought they were.
