0:15
Speaker 1: Seven o'clock hour in your faces here on Chucking Buck
0:18
Speaker 1: in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
0:22
Speaker 2: Will come in.
0:22
Speaker 1: It is Chucking Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety
0:25
Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM, and we've got a lot to
0:28
Speaker 1: do here today, including giving you your cash word. It's
0:31
Speaker 1: money thousand dollars powerplay into that at ninety three three
0:35
Speaker 1: KJR dot com for your shot at one thousand dollars
0:37
Speaker 1: in powerplay cash money m n e y. We're also
0:41
Speaker 1: two minutes away from Greg Bell's latest information as we
0:44
Speaker 1: count down the days till the Super Bowl, and that's
0:47
Speaker 1: certainly where we start with our frost brewed cores like
0:50
Speaker 1: chewice chill headlines. Super Bowl number sixty is coming your
0:55
Speaker 1: way in eleven sleeps. We are just eleven days away
0:58
Speaker 1: from Seahawks versus Patriots to decide the champion of football
1:02
Speaker 1: in the universe, and Greg Bell will fill in some
1:05
Speaker 1: of the cracks here for us here in a little
1:07
Speaker 1: bit other headlines for you.
1:09
Speaker 2: Yesterday, the big story.
1:10
Speaker 1: Became Bill Belichick denied entry into the Hall of Fame
1:15
Speaker 1: the first ballot. He did not get the necessary forty
1:20
Speaker 1: out of fifty votes from the Hall of Fame Voting Committee,
1:23
Speaker 1: and so he is going to have to wait at
1:25
Speaker 1: least one more year to get into the Hall of Fame.
1:28
Speaker 1: It seems absurd to nearly everyone that's weighed in on
1:31
Speaker 1: this topic, and so we'll ask Greg about that a
1:35
Speaker 1: little bit more as well. College football U Doubs schedule
1:39
Speaker 1: came out for twenty twenty six. They will start against
1:42
Speaker 1: the Koogs and that will be on September fifth. Again,
1:47
Speaker 1: a light I'm sorry, softy cupcake schedule, non conference, Utah State,
1:52
Speaker 1: Eastern Washington, those of the non conference opponents. We already
1:55
Speaker 1: knew that. And then they'll of course split it up
1:59
Speaker 1: fort home games, four road games in conference play. The
2:02
Speaker 1: road games this year will be at USC, then back
2:06
Speaker 1: to back at Purdue and at Nebraska, and then you're
2:09
Speaker 1: gonna have at Oregon to close out the year, which
2:12
Speaker 1: means the home games in conference play will be Indiana,
2:15
Speaker 1: Penn State, Minnesota, and Iowa and not in that order.
2:21
Speaker 1: So we'll find some time a little bit later on
2:24
Speaker 1: in the show to discuss it further. Cracking one last night,
2:27
Speaker 1: mind Jared McCann's big night. He should have had a
2:30
Speaker 1: hat trick two different times. Hats were thrown on the
2:35
Speaker 1: ice because they thought that he had a third goal,
2:38
Speaker 1: and yet review of a Matty Vanier's high stick eliminated
2:43
Speaker 1: that goal. He's still ended up with a great night,
2:45
Speaker 1: two goals to assists. He's absolutely on fire right now.
2:49
Speaker 1: Cracking have won three out of four. They won five
2:51
Speaker 1: to one over the Caps. They'll take on the mapeple
2:53
Speaker 1: Leafs tomorrow at home at seven o'clock. Congratulations to Rick Riz.
2:57
Speaker 1: It's going to be his final year as the play
2:59
Speaker 1: by play voice on the radio side of your Seattle Mariners.
3:02
Speaker 1: So let's make it a world series call for Rick
3:06
Speaker 1: Riz as his last on air breaths.
3:09
Speaker 2: That'd be great, that would be perfect, just perfect. All right,
3:12
Speaker 2: let's talk to Greg with the bell tolls.
3:16
Speaker 3: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man
3:19
Speaker 3: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Copola Diamond
3:22
Speaker 3: Collection Prosecco, Chris Sparkling with Bright Fruit Flavors to make
3:26
Speaker 3: every toast shine Game Day Bubbles only with Copola Diamond Forseco.
3:32
Speaker 3: Now with twelf Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck
3:35
Speaker 3: and Bud.
3:36
Speaker 4: Come on, Greg, good morning.
3:38
Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with this and then get
3:41
Speaker 1: into some Seahawks topics. What do you make as an
3:45
Speaker 1: NFL beat rider of twenty plus years of Bill Belichick
3:49
Speaker 1: not getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on
3:52
Speaker 1: his first vote.
3:53
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not breaking any new ground to say it's
3:56
Speaker 4: embarrassing to the process. It's ridiculous. The process has broken
4:01
Speaker 4: our own Mike Sando, prodecessor mind at the News Tribune,
4:04
Speaker 4: has probably explained to you how the process has changed.
4:09
Speaker 4: Used to be that the coaches were in the same
4:12
Speaker 4: pool as modern era players and they all were voted
4:14
Speaker 4: at the same time until Bill Parcells eventually got in, although.
4:18
Speaker 5: He had to wait a couple rounds.
4:20
Speaker 4: And then they did it to the coaches had their
4:22
Speaker 4: own lanes, and then guys like Dick Vermeal and Tony
4:25
Speaker 4: Dungee and Bill Cower with one Super Bowl wins.
4:28
Speaker 5: We're getting in. And then they said, well that's.
4:31
Speaker 4: A little too much, so let's make it this way
4:33
Speaker 4: and this way. Now, as of last year, the change
4:36
Speaker 4: was there's only one coach nominated each year, and then
4:41
Speaker 4: he goes into a pool of five with three senior
4:44
Speaker 4: player candidates. Senior player candidates is the broken process itself,
4:49
Speaker 4: because there are voters who will just won't vote worthy
4:53
Speaker 4: players in, and the modern era Sam, we'll just get
4:56
Speaker 4: him in the senior go around. They get another crack later,
4:58
Speaker 4: so we just won't vote them in. Though, those three
5:01
Speaker 4: get put in with the one coach nominee and then
5:04
Speaker 4: the one contributor nominee, which is often an owner. This
5:07
Speaker 4: year it's Robert Kraft and the Patriots, for instance, So
5:10
Speaker 4: the coach has those four that he has to go against,
5:14
Speaker 4: and there's only one coach candidate each year. The system
5:18
Speaker 4: broke from Mike Holgren last year, and that's why he
5:21
Speaker 4: didn't get in, and we all were up in arms
5:23
Speaker 4: here in the Pacific Northwestern in Green Bay about that,
5:26
Speaker 4: and now the whole football world's and up in arms
5:27
Speaker 4: because it happened to Bill Belichick. But the requirement now
5:31
Speaker 4: is that it's eighty percent. They're fifty selectors, so forty
5:35
Speaker 4: votes to get in among those five three No more
5:38
Speaker 4: than three of those five can get in, up to three.
5:41
Speaker 4: You don't have to vote for three as a selector,
5:43
Speaker 4: but up to three of those five. So the math
5:46
Speaker 4: doesn't math a lot of the times, and it didn't
5:49
Speaker 4: for home Run last year, and apparently it hasn't for Belichick.
5:55
Speaker 4: The process is really broken. Mike's going to tell you that,
5:58
Speaker 4: I think this week when you talk to them. The
6:01
Speaker 4: result of all of this is likely to be yet
6:03
Speaker 4: another change by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in
6:05
Speaker 4: the process, and the upshot is in the meantime too
6:10
Speaker 4: worthy candidate not only Canada, too worthy in Chinese, who
6:14
Speaker 4: should already have gold jackets. Mike Holmgrin and Bill Belichick
6:17
Speaker 4: are not in. Ballichick will get in likely next year
6:20
Speaker 4: as a correction for this year, which means Mike Coleman
6:23
Speaker 4: won't get in next year either. Yeah, and then I mean,
6:28
Speaker 4: it's just I hate to disparage those who are in,
6:32
Speaker 4: like Tony Dungee and Dick Formale and others. Bill Cower,
6:35
Speaker 4: that's per guy. But the facts are still that they
6:39
Speaker 4: let too many in and now they're letting none in.
6:42
Speaker 4: And well, chickball Hall of Fame process is broken, but
6:46
Speaker 4: the Football Hall of Fame is coming close now to
6:48
Speaker 4: the baseball one.
6:49
Speaker 2: I think they're both really bad, which is why I.
6:52
Speaker 5: Don't get we talked about the baseball one.
6:56
Speaker 4: There are people who've never been in a baseball clubhouse
6:58
Speaker 4: and who are teachers, truck drivers and not even in
7:02
Speaker 4: the business who vote for the Hall of Fame, But.
7:04
Speaker 5: That's another story.
7:05
Speaker 1: Is there any chance, though, that this is going to
7:06
Speaker 1: be so controversial that the whole process will get blown
7:10
Speaker 1: up this year and they'll put guys like Mike Sando
7:12
Speaker 1: on the job of creating a better process.
7:16
Speaker 5: Well they should. I don't know if it will, but
7:18
Speaker 5: they should.
7:19
Speaker 4: It'll result in changes, I'm pretty certain of that, and
7:22
Speaker 4: I know some of the people who would be involved
7:24
Speaker 4: in those changes, or I know some of the people
7:26
Speaker 4: who should be involved that the Hall of Fame does
7:29
Speaker 4: the right thing enlist them to help. I'm not certain
7:32
Speaker 4: it's gonna happen as the point of blowing up and
7:34
Speaker 4: starting over, but I do think there'll be changes that
7:37
Speaker 4: are next year there'll be a different process than the
7:39
Speaker 4: one that exists.
7:42
Speaker 6: Well, good, hopefully they change it, because if it does
7:45
Speaker 6: result in a couple of years of home you're not
7:47
Speaker 6: getting in. It's a worthless process to begin. One more
7:50
Speaker 6: just on that, do you believe that feelings about how
7:54
Speaker 6: someone treats the media, maybe individually as a voter, should
7:59
Speaker 6: play a role. I mean, if you want to say, Okay,
8:02
Speaker 6: he cheated, so I'm not going to put him in
8:04
Speaker 6: first ballot because of that. That's that's one thing. If
8:07
Speaker 6: you but if you want to say, I just think
8:09
Speaker 6: he wasn't a very nice guy. Should that play a
8:12
Speaker 6: role in it?
8:13
Speaker 4: No, Okay, you've got to be you've got to be
8:15
Speaker 4: professional and get over yourself.
8:19
Speaker 5: Remember, I.
8:21
Speaker 4: Spent most of my life not being treated very well
8:24
Speaker 4: as im media member in locker rooms and settings, and
8:28
Speaker 4: that's part of the job. I hope that's not. That's
8:31
Speaker 4: pretty petty.
8:32
Speaker 5: If it is.
8:33
Speaker 4: The whole Bill Pollian thing when I'm reading, is just
8:36
Speaker 4: justifying how he tells one reporter that he didn't vote
8:40
Speaker 4: for it. That I should say some selectors say that
8:43
Speaker 4: Bill Pollyan told him not to vote for Pelicheck, and
8:46
Speaker 4: then Poleon coming out and tell him.
8:47
Speaker 5: Then not a last night. I don't remember who I
8:50
Speaker 5: voted for. The vote was only two weeks ago.
8:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
8:57
Speaker 5: Yeah.
8:57
Speaker 1: He looks about as guilty as you can look on
9:00
Speaker 1: all fronts, even I mean even from the rumors when
9:04
Speaker 1: you kind of openly lie. Now all of a sudden,
9:07
Speaker 1: all those conspiracy rumors like you were trying to influence
9:10
Speaker 1: voters not to vote for him, Now those hit hard,
9:13
Speaker 1: hit hard as truths. Yeah, well, how about this.
9:16
Speaker 4: How about we bitched decent human beings, tell the truth
9:19
Speaker 4: and dark transparents and say who's voted for who and
9:22
Speaker 4: what's roll with that?
9:24
Speaker 5: Of course our sohole society could use some of that.
9:27
Speaker 1: Greg bellis with us a Seahawks insider, of course, with
9:30
Speaker 1: the News Tribune. You can follow is complete Seahawks coverage
9:33
Speaker 1: at the Neewstribune dot com. I don't think we necessarily
9:37
Speaker 1: have to get into like game notes for a game
9:40
Speaker 1: that's going to be played in eleven days just yet.
9:42
Speaker 2: So I do want to ask you about sort of
9:45
Speaker 2: your approach.
9:46
Speaker 1: We brought up a very uncomfortable subject in our last hour.
9:50
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what you're thinking as beat writer for the Seahawks.
9:55
Speaker 1: How much time will you spend writing stories, if any
9:59
Speaker 1: at all, out the one yard line play about how
10:04
Speaker 1: those Seahawk players feel ten years later, a lot of
10:07
Speaker 1: which are on the bandwagon and couldn't be greater Seahawk
10:10
Speaker 1: supporters of the twenty twenty five to twenty six team.
10:14
Speaker 1: Will you spend some time sort of navigating those waters
10:18
Speaker 1: here over the next twelve days.
10:21
Speaker 4: I don't know how much, but some, I mean there's context.
10:24
Speaker 4: This is a historical context this matchup and then this
10:27
Speaker 4: matchup ending as it did. I covered that, so I
10:30
Speaker 4: have a personal knowledge recollection of it. It's part of
10:35
Speaker 4: the tableau of the event and the context in the
10:40
Speaker 4: matchup and history between these two teams. So is you
10:43
Speaker 4: mad bro Richard Sermon and Tom Brady after a game
10:47
Speaker 4: at bloom And Field? So some But I don't know
10:52
Speaker 4: that I'd go down long rabbit holes.
10:55
Speaker 5: I think I do know this.
10:57
Speaker 4: It's an easy television angle. And we're going to the
11:00
Speaker 4: replay of Malcolm Butler's interception five thousand times between now
11:04
Speaker 4: and then, maybe fifty thousand times be could it's just easy?
11:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. But do you think
11:10
Speaker 2: the I mean.
11:11
Speaker 6: The the current players, none of them are even given
11:15
Speaker 6: it two thoughts, right, the rematch part of this thing?
11:20
Speaker 4: No, I mean that was two thousand? Was that twenty fourteen?
11:23
Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen was the game game for them?
11:28
Speaker 5: Well?
11:28
Speaker 4: No, because half the Seahawks, more than half the Seahawks
11:31
Speaker 4: roster was in middle school, in high school then, So no,
11:35
Speaker 4: I don't believe. So I can't even think of a player. No,
11:39
Speaker 4: I mean Aaron Reid was twenty sixteen, Michael.
11:42
Speaker 5: Dixon was twenty sixteen.
11:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know of anybody other than like e
11:49
Speaker 4: K and Well Kelly and guys like that that we're
11:52
Speaker 4: even around them. Dave Pearson Me, yeah, nobody on the field.
12:00
Speaker 4: I mean, these guys don't even know who Jim's orn
12:02
Speaker 4: it was because they weren't born yet, So the history
12:05
Speaker 4: of them is often lost on the modern player. Not
12:08
Speaker 4: do no fault of their own.
12:09
Speaker 5: We just don't know. What we don't know.
12:11
Speaker 1: Greg bellis whether it's our Seahawks insider joining us right
12:14
Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Buck every day here at seven
12:17
Speaker 1: oh five to talk to some Seahawks football.
12:19
Speaker 2: So let's talk about the in the schedule.
12:22
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald decided to give the players a couple of
12:25
Speaker 1: days off here, and he's decided to consult with some
12:30
Speaker 1: of his mentors about how to proceed.
12:33
Speaker 2: What have you learned about that? And why?
12:36
Speaker 4: Well, it's just smart that you're gonna guys that you
12:39
Speaker 4: already trusted a mentor someone who he patterns a lot
12:42
Speaker 4: of his Seahawk program, John Harvaugh from learning under him
12:46
Speaker 4: for a decade. Baltimore went to two Super Bowls and
12:49
Speaker 4: did this logistics and planning and as hest smarting.
12:52
Speaker 5: He's going to ask them that.
12:53
Speaker 4: The big, the big question, a big decision he has
12:57
Speaker 4: his first time head coaches, how much of the game
12:59
Speaker 4: play do we put in? I remember talking to Mike
13:01
Speaker 4: Congrin about this before Super Bowl forty when Seahawks were
13:04
Speaker 4: playing the Steelers in Detroit. The bye week. For all
13:08
Speaker 4: of us, it's like, why do they have a bye week?
13:10
Speaker 5: This is so unnecessary. Just play the game the next wall.
13:12
Speaker 4: It's the hype machine and executives got to get in
13:15
Speaker 4: plenty of time for living in San Francisco for a
13:18
Speaker 4: week all that. But the practical matter is how much
13:22
Speaker 4: of the game plan do you put in before you leave?
13:24
Speaker 4: It used to be way back when that teams would
13:27
Speaker 4: kind of spread it out, soose coaches would spread it
13:30
Speaker 4: out so that the players weren't overwhelmed with it. They
13:32
Speaker 4: were afforded extra time to absorb the game plan. But
13:36
Speaker 4: the modern coach, I don't know if starting with OLM
13:39
Speaker 4: weren't bit about then would say, no, no, let's put
13:42
Speaker 4: the whole game plan in like we would during a
13:44
Speaker 4: regular cadence of a regular game week one Sunday to
13:47
Speaker 4: the next, and then we would have when we get
13:50
Speaker 4: to the super Bowl site when it's all the other
13:52
Speaker 4: huhan distractions and media obligations, we don't have to study
13:56
Speaker 4: the ex's know to the football because we have already
13:58
Speaker 4: had that put in and installed back and that's where
14:02
Speaker 4: I think McDonald's landing, and that's probably where most of
14:05
Speaker 4: it will be.
14:05
Speaker 5: Now.
14:06
Speaker 4: They may take some third down or some red zone
14:10
Speaker 4: tweaks once they get down there. Mike McDonald always says
14:12
Speaker 4: he's guilty of overthinking, and right up to the morning
14:15
Speaker 4: of or even a pregame on the field of the game,
14:18
Speaker 4: he's tweaking things and changing the game plan because he
14:20
Speaker 4: thinks too much. But he's probably decided in the last
14:24
Speaker 4: few days, with Leslie Fraser and Rick Dennison and some
14:28
Speaker 4: of the other on his staff that have extensive super
14:31
Speaker 4: Bowl experience, to put most of the game plan in
14:34
Speaker 4: this week, say for maybe some of the specialty stuff.
14:37
Speaker 4: Then there's been meetings the last couple of days with
14:39
Speaker 4: players talking about Super Bowl tickets and arrangements for their
14:43
Speaker 4: families and the schedule and all the things you never
14:47
Speaker 4: would have to do for a normal game that they
14:49
Speaker 4: have to go through. And that's what the early part
14:52
Speaker 4: of this week is for the bodies are resting. Even
14:55
Speaker 4: when they practice for the first time this week tomorrow,
14:57
Speaker 4: it's going to probably be ultra light. It won't be
15:02
Speaker 4: anything like a regular Sunday to Sunday practice week. So
15:06
Speaker 4: this is a recharge and move the furniture around logistically,
15:10
Speaker 4: get all that done before they pack the all operation
15:13
Speaker 4: up Sunday and head to San Jose. And for those
15:15
Speaker 4: who don't know, they are staying in San Jose, they're
15:18
Speaker 4: practicing at San Jose State University. It's about fifty miles.
15:21
Speaker 4: Anyone who's from the Nose to Bay area, it's fifty
15:24
Speaker 4: miles but two hours traffic from San Francisco, where the
15:27
Speaker 4: rest of the radio row and NFL events will be.
15:31
Speaker 4: So the Seahawks and Patriots Patriots are at Stanford practice
15:35
Speaker 4: and they're going to be almost sequestered away from all
15:38
Speaker 4: the HUHA and everything. Monday night's the big media Super
15:44
Speaker 4: Bowl Opening Night whatever they call it, the made for
15:46
Speaker 4: TV live event. Monday Night it's the San Jose Convention
15:49
Speaker 4: Center when so called journalists who like TMZ and people
15:54
Speaker 4: who are clowns and circus acts do all these crazy
15:58
Speaker 4: stunts to players. That's Monday, and the players can't wait
16:01
Speaker 4: to get that over with.
16:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I is, do you have a gut feel
16:06
Speaker 6: on whether or not this could be the last game
16:08
Speaker 6: with Clint Kubiak or I mean after he goes toe
16:11
Speaker 6: to toe with McVeigh and Stafford and ends up, you know,
16:14
Speaker 6: helping win that game, is he going to be a
16:17
Speaker 6: guy that.
16:17
Speaker 2: Is going to take one of the available jobs if
16:19
Speaker 2: he's offered it.
16:21
Speaker 4: Well, I gotta think Bucky that for the teams such
16:24
Speaker 4: as the Raiders that don't have jobs filled yet that
16:26
Speaker 4: they're waiting to talk to Kubiak yet again, which will
16:29
Speaker 4: come after the Super Bowl, my gut feeling is Kubiak's
16:34
Speaker 4: not going anywhere. I haven't talked to him directly asking
16:37
Speaker 4: him that question, but I think the Seahawks are going
16:41
Speaker 4: to make a push to keep him, whether it's a raise,
16:43
Speaker 4: whether it's a promotion to assistant head coach with Leslie
16:46
Speaker 4: Fraser already has that title something. They're not just gonna
16:50
Speaker 4: let him walk out of doors say thanks for the
16:52
Speaker 4: year you had. And I do still think that if
16:55
Speaker 4: I'm an owner gm president of a team hiring a
17:00
Speaker 4: head coach, I'd have some pause that he has not
17:02
Speaker 4: been in a job for more than two years at
17:04
Speaker 4: any one place, and that he's only had of all
17:07
Speaker 4: his long history in coaching here, he's still only thirty eight,
17:10
Speaker 4: but he's doing this almost eighteen years now. That he's
17:13
Speaker 4: only been an offensive coordinator play call at the NFL
17:16
Speaker 4: level for two times Minnesota and one year at New Orleans,
17:20
Speaker 4: now one year in Seattle. I don't think he's ready
17:23
Speaker 4: my personal opinion, I'm not trying to disparage him. I'm
17:26
Speaker 4: just trying to say I think head coaches might need
17:29
Speaker 4: a little more play calling experience in one place. But
17:33
Speaker 4: Sean McVay was thirty when he got his job. So
17:36
Speaker 4: the Raiders that sound it looks like the Raiders are
17:38
Speaker 4: going to talk to him again. I know Brian Dayball
17:41
Speaker 4: is also apparently reportedly in the running for that job too,
17:45
Speaker 4: But if you had to say what right now, my
17:47
Speaker 4: good feeling is he's going to stay.
17:49
Speaker 2: All right, Greg, thank you very much.
17:51
Speaker 1: Got a lot more discussions to have before Super Bowl Sunday.

Speaker 6: big shoes.
18:15
Speaker 4: Yeah even and you wouldn't even nearly be the most
18:19
Speaker 4: ridiculous thing there. I mean that that event is just absurd.
18:23
Speaker 4: If the story is how absurd it is, you'll see.
18:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I'm going. I'm not going to
18:29
Speaker 2: go to that. I've been to a few of those.

19:47
Speaker 1: a lengthy postseason. It's awesome.
19:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, we made it.
19:50
Speaker 7: We should try to do this all the time. We
19:52
Speaker 7: made it in every sport.
19:53
Speaker 2: We made it the furthest you can make it. As
19:55
Speaker 2: it turns out.
19:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's not a game after the Super Bowl.
20:00
Speaker 6: No, you're playing the last game of the season. That's
20:03
Speaker 6: kind of the goal. Well, to win that one.
20:06
Speaker 2: I love that we maximized our agreement with Matt Hasselbeck.
20:08
Speaker 1: Yeah we really get Yeah, lesser, lesser teams in lesser
20:12
Speaker 1: markets probably would have only had their former their former
20:16
Speaker 1: quarterback on one time based on that agreement. Yeah, we got
20:21
Speaker 1: several conversations with Matt Hassle that's pretty fair, very smart. Yeah,
20:29
Speaker 1: nice work everybody, good job all around. So Matt Hasselbeck
20:32
Speaker 1: joins us again at eight o'clock today and again next.
20:36
Speaker 2: Week in the following week. What nice work.
20:41
Speaker 1: But you know what, Matt Asselbeck, I mean, he's the
20:44
Speaker 1: He's given us great information here, but you aren't always
20:48
Speaker 1: subject a great information from people with sports opinions and
20:51
Speaker 1: the platforms with which to expand on them. Right, that's fact.
20:56
Speaker 1: That's a fact. That's a fact.
20:57
Speaker 2: Right, there is a fact and are there.
21:00
Speaker 1: And I've been wrong a lot myself and hopefully I'm
21:03
Speaker 1: one of those that you've seen over time that will
21:05
Speaker 1: admit it when I'm wrong. But in this particular case,
21:11
Speaker 1: I want to point fingers. Okay, good, Yeah, Today today
21:15
Speaker 1: I want to point fingers. I'm gonna channel my inner
21:18
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hawthorne today. He wrote The Scarlet Letter where a
21:24
Speaker 1: poor woman Jimmy Moore I had to wear a red
21:28
Speaker 1: a for adultery on her clothing at all times because
21:32
Speaker 1: she slept with a married man and.
21:35
Speaker 2: So it branded her for life.
21:37
Speaker 1: They wrote a whole novel on it, the Scarlet Letter,
21:40
Speaker 1: And so what I want to hand out today are
21:43
Speaker 1: not Scarlet a's for adultery.
21:46
Speaker 2: I want to hand out.
21:47
Speaker 7: Scarlet d's what's the D stand for?
21:49
Speaker 2: Chuck Donald?
21:51
Speaker 8: Oh, we are calling you all out that not just
21:56
Speaker 8: doubted Sam Donald slightly, but aggressively for long periods of
22:01
Speaker 8: time and still won't back down from your criticism of
22:07
Speaker 8: Sam Darnold.
22:08
Speaker 1: You're wearing the scarlet D not just for this week
22:13
Speaker 1: or next week or through the Super Bowl, for the
22:15
Speaker 1: rest of your life. You can never take it off.
22:19
Speaker 1: That's how wrong you were about our starting quarterback. Let's
22:23
Speaker 1: hear from one of our recipients. I give you ESPN
22:28
Speaker 1: Steven A.
22:29
Speaker 2: Smith.
22:30
Speaker 7: Oh, I thought we were doing the other one. That's
22:31
Speaker 7: what we sorry, we had Skip Bayless was who we
22:35
Speaker 7: were doing today.
22:36
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's Oh I thought we were doing them both. Okay,
22:42
Speaker 2: oh yeah, all right, well let's go with Skip Bayless.
22:44
Speaker 9: Then this year, I'm gonna say it again, he led
22:47
Speaker 9: the league in turnovers and against the Rams he had
22:51
Speaker 9: six in two games, six interceptions. He was great last
22:56
Speaker 9: night against a team he knows, against a team he's
23:00
Speaker 9: in a comfort zone against because they know that the
23:03
Speaker 9: Rams corners are terrible, and the starter was out for
23:06
Speaker 9: the whole first half last night inexplicably, so he did that.
23:11
Speaker 2: Great for him.
23:12
Speaker 9: But It's like he's been crowned now as completely trustable.
23:17
Speaker 9: And I'm just telling you this. A key will tell
23:20
Speaker 9: you this game is different.
23:23
Speaker 1: So this is what Skip Bayless tweeted out. This was
23:26
Speaker 1: on January eighteenth, just two ten days ago. So the
23:29
Speaker 1: combined records of every team the Patriots beat in the
23:31
Speaker 1: regular season was eighty five and one p fifty. Now
23:35
Speaker 1: their path to a Super Bowl championship has been justin
23:38
Speaker 1: Herbert C. J. Stroud, Jarrett's did him and very possibly
23:41
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald easiest road ever.
23:44
Speaker 2: That's what he tweeted out ten days ago.
23:46
Speaker 1: And now after Sam played one of the best playoff
23:49
Speaker 1: games ever, he has tried to backpedal, and he can't
23:53
Speaker 1: even allow himself to backpedal. He's still saying that Sam
23:57
Speaker 1: Darnold's got to prove it for one more time. Uh,
24:01
Speaker 1: Skip Bayless, this is an easy target. We know he's
24:04
Speaker 1: a dufus and yet we are not going to be
24:09
Speaker 1: shy about handing out these letters. We're smacking them on
24:13
Speaker 1: everybody we hear that doubts our quarterback here in Seattle.
24:16
Speaker 1: There's no doubt you qualify for this, Skip Bayless, You're
24:20
Speaker 1: getting a scarlet d.
24:23
Speaker 5: You know what.
24:23
Speaker 6: This is just a bit on the radio, but I
24:25
Speaker 6: actually think I'm gonna have I'm gonna task my children
24:28
Speaker 6: with some art project and make some scarlet d's and
24:32
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do put some tape on them.
24:34
Speaker 2: And if I see Skip Bayless at the Super.
24:36
Speaker 6: Bowl, I'm gonna walk up, Hey, is nice to meet you,
24:38
Speaker 6: slap him on the back and give him a scarlet D.
24:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm doing.
24:44
Speaker 7: It, clearly.
24:45
Speaker 2: Let's take video of it. You, Hey, Hey, there he
24:48
Speaker 2: is video me. Hey, what's up?
24:51
Speaker 6: Skip pay do mud pat him on the back and
24:53
Speaker 6: then walk around with the scarlet D on his back.
24:56
Speaker 2: A great idea.
24:57
Speaker 6: A whole bunch of them walking around there. There's a
25:00
Speaker 6: whole bunch of people that just can't wait to find
25:03
Speaker 6: one fault.
25:03
Speaker 2: I mean it just simple.
25:05
Speaker 6: I mean, yes, he has turned the ball over. There's
25:07
Speaker 6: been one game in particular that he costs the team,
25:10
Speaker 6: and that would be the Rams game. I mean the
25:12
Speaker 6: other game that they lost against Tampa Bay. I mean,
25:16
Speaker 6: I guess there was a costly mistake there, but he
25:18
Speaker 6: did have four touchdowns to one interception. The other loss
25:22
Speaker 6: was San Francisco zero interceptions, So to me, it's I
25:26
Speaker 6: think that there's too many times where people just look
25:29
Speaker 6: at the stats instead of your objective is to win games.
25:32
Speaker 6: There's some games where he had zero touchdowns and zero
25:35
Speaker 6: interceptions and they won the game. So is that a
25:37
Speaker 6: bad game or I mean I don't even so. I
25:40
Speaker 6: mean he's had twelve touchdowns and four interceptions since that
25:44
Speaker 6: La Rams game that he had the four picks. It's
25:47
Speaker 6: pretty good. And guess what, they won all the games.
25:49
Speaker 6: So it's just some people they stood on the ah,
25:53
Speaker 6: he's not very good. They've thought that since he was
25:56
Speaker 6: a jet and no matter what he does, they're not
25:58
Speaker 6: going to backtrack on it. I mean, if he wins
26:01
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl, there will be some of these people
26:03
Speaker 6: with Scarlet D's on their back that will say, well,
26:06
Speaker 6: it was the defense.
26:07
Speaker 2: He just did it because of the Yeah, I know,
26:10
Speaker 2: I I kind of.
26:11
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the kids making scarlet D's happen
26:15
Speaker 1: just happen on but I kind of like, uh, you know,
26:18
Speaker 1: uh inglorious bastards too, where we carve one right in
26:21
Speaker 1: their forehead.
26:22
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, they can't take off videotape and not
26:26
Speaker 2: get in trouble.
26:27
Speaker 7: I was gonna say, think of that one we could
26:28
Speaker 7: get punished.
26:29
Speaker 1: You know when Brad Pitt said, you're gonna take that
26:32
Speaker 1: Nazi uniform off, aren't you?
26:34
Speaker 2: Uh huh See, that's what I don't like.
26:36
Speaker 1: I got to give you something you can't take off,
26:38
Speaker 1: and he just carves a swastika and the forehead. I think,
26:42
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we just start with the letters made
26:45
Speaker 1: by the Jacobs and children work our way up. Yeah, sure,
26:49
Speaker 1: I mean it.
26:49
Speaker 7: Depending on how wrong you were.
26:51
Speaker 6: Depending on how they react to the scarlet d, you
26:53
Speaker 6: might get one you can't take off.
26:55
Speaker 2: I'm going to call out another one.
26:57
Speaker 1: And I know she's backtracked, and I know where she's
27:00
Speaker 1: offered all sorts of apologies and admitted she was wrong.
27:03
Speaker 1: And look, we are in the opinion business. You're gonna
27:05
Speaker 1: be wrong. You're gonna be wrong a lot. Hopefully you're
27:07
Speaker 1: right more than you're wrong as a sports talk figure.
27:11
Speaker 1: But Mina Kimes, I know you're a Seahawks fan, but
27:15
Speaker 1: Mina Kimes flat out, this is a terrible move by Seattle.
27:21
Speaker 1: Chances of upgrading are extremely low.
27:24
Speaker 2: That was her tweet.
27:25
Speaker 1: Famous infamous tweet I should say about Geno Smith the
27:30
Speaker 1: day he was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. She
27:33
Speaker 1: then piled on for months that Sam Darnold was a
27:37
Speaker 1: downgrade at quarterback for the Seahawks Mina Kimes. I think
27:41
Speaker 1: you're really smart. I think you do a quality job.
27:45
Speaker 1: But guess what, for the rest of your life, you're
27:48
Speaker 1: wearing a starl D.
27:50
Speaker 2: Take the d I'm good. Yeah, well you can.
27:55
Speaker 5: You can.
27:56
Speaker 2: I couldn't say.
27:57
Speaker 7: Okay, I'll say it.
27:58
Speaker 2: Take that d yes and.
28:00
Speaker 6: You're gonna get one slapped on your back. When when
28:03
Speaker 6: I see you at the Super Bowl, Hey man, how's
28:06
Speaker 6: it going. Hey from Seattle.
28:07
Speaker 2: Good to see you. Boom boom. Take that scarlet D.
28:10
Speaker 2: Take that scarlet D.
28:11
Speaker 6: I mean, how about going how about Gino Smith, which
28:15
Speaker 6: is who she was defending.
28:16
Speaker 2: She liked Gino Smith.
28:17
Speaker 6: Okay, fine, I didn't hate Gino Smith, but I thought
28:19
Speaker 6: there was an upgrade out there, and I did think
28:21
Speaker 6: Sam Darnold was that upgrade.
28:23
Speaker 2: She was standing on the other side of it.
28:25
Speaker 6: Okay, opinions or opinions, everybody has them, they all stink whatever,
28:28
Speaker 6: go ahead and go that way. But I mean he
28:31
Speaker 6: went from the team he left that missed the playoffs
28:35
Speaker 6: with him last year is in the Super Bowl? Yes,
28:38
Speaker 6: And then the team he went to is getting the
28:40
Speaker 6: number one pick right, and used that pick to replace him. Yeah,
28:44
Speaker 6: and how much right? So I'm just gonna go ahead
28:49
Speaker 6: and say you were wrong on that one. Everybody's entitled
28:53
Speaker 6: to that. But this whole scarlet D thing to me, Yeah,
28:55
Speaker 6: we're in the opinion business. Well that's what we're supposed
28:58
Speaker 6: to do, but it's kind of part of like that
29:00
Speaker 6: should be a measured opinion. You should only have definitive.
29:03
Speaker 6: Sam Darnold sucks if he really sucks. When we have
29:09
Speaker 6: people that say that they're wrong, he didn't suck. He
29:12
Speaker 6: had you could have a bad game, doesn't mean he suck.
29:15
Speaker 2: She did back off, So I don't know.
29:17
Speaker 1: If she just gets a little D and Skip Bayless
29:20
Speaker 1: gets big D, I don't know, maybe it's a lower
29:24
Speaker 1: case D and he gets a big, throbbing D, you know,
29:28
Speaker 1: big capital D.
29:30
Speaker 2: You know, he probably.
29:31
Speaker 6: Should get one that you can't take off, and she
29:34
Speaker 6: should get one, a large one because she was pretty
29:36
Speaker 6: adamant about it, but one she can take off.
29:38
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I want to do this every day
29:41
Speaker 1: because there are throngs of these people that have earned
29:44
Speaker 1: scarlet d's. Maybe we will identify one that deserves a
29:49
Speaker 1: d carved directly into their forehead for the rest of
29:52
Speaker 1: their lives. But so far, don't think that you're going
29:55
Speaker 1: to escape us. We're going to find all of you,
29:58
Speaker 1: treat you down around Hunt and you're gonna get the
30:01
Speaker 1: scarlet d.
30:02
Speaker 2: You walk around and we're gonna throw like rotten. Yeah,
30:06
Speaker 2: let us at you.
30:07
Speaker 1: Say shame, shames village post villagers will point laugh at
30:12
Speaker 1: you and mock you.
30:14
Speaker 7: And then they'll hope you fall into the mud in
30:16
Speaker 7: the Cowgary.
30:16
Speaker 6: It won't be sh Sam, Sam, Yeah, Sam, as you.
30:22
Speaker 2: Walk naked through the streets, nothing but a scarlet d
30:26
Speaker 2: on you.
30:27
Speaker 1: Just I'll carry a brand around Radio Row and just man,
30:33
Speaker 1: we didn't see that ideas.
30:35
Speaker 2: Didn't see that? Sorry about that? Did just Stephen A.
30:37
Speaker 2: Smith Again, I think we're gonna get you a scarlet deed.
30:42
Speaker 2: But I like that. I like that idea.
30:44
Speaker 7: I like this idea. But yeah, I do think we
30:46
Speaker 7: hr might have some problems.
30:48
Speaker 2: We could get arrested. Yeah, you know it's worth it.
30:51
Speaker 2: Reckless at breakfast.
30:52
Speaker 1: Next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ A r
30:54
Speaker 1: F M Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monk and leave
30:59
Speaker 1: it to the brown to hire a guy coming off
31:02
Speaker 1: what has been a universally panned year as an offensive coordinator,
31:05
Speaker 1: like the first of his life, right, like it's the
31:08
Speaker 1: one time that Todd Monkin was Like what happened to
31:10
Speaker 1: Todd Monkin this year?
31:12
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think we should have him
31:15
Speaker 2: leader organization.
31:16
Speaker 1: Let's get rid of Kevin Stefanski for a lesser than
31:19
Speaker 1: offensive mind. That's that's the Browns, all right, So another
31:24
Speaker 1: one filled that's looking more and more every day like
31:27
Speaker 1: the Clint Kubiak. The Vegas thing could happen, but we
31:31
Speaker 1: shall see, we shall see. All right, Let's get a
31:33
Speaker 1: little reckless at breakfast here this morning before Matt Hasselbeck
31:37
Speaker 1: joins us at eight o'clock.
31:39
Speaker 2: My opportunity to get a.
31:40
Speaker 1: Little crazy with the sports topics here, and so I'm
31:45
Speaker 1: going to tackle this Hall of Fame issue at something
31:47
Speaker 1: that we've discussed numerous times. I've discussed at numerous times,
31:51
Speaker 1: and reckless at breakfast, and maybe now, maybe now people
31:55
Speaker 1: will understand my idea a little bit better for how
31:59
Speaker 1: this procedure should be done in both Major League Baseball
32:02
Speaker 1: and in the National Football League. I want a committee
32:07
Speaker 1: of twelve people who eat, drink, breathe, and live this
32:12
Speaker 1: stuff whose integrity when it comes to this vote is
32:16
Speaker 1: more precious to them than their own children. And they
32:20
Speaker 1: are out there people that will take it so seriously
32:23
Speaker 1: and not let biases get in the way of the
32:27
Speaker 1: actual process of trying to figure out who's deserving and
32:30
Speaker 1: who's not. I use Tim Kirkchin constantly as the example
32:34
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. I'll use our own Mike Sando
32:37
Speaker 1: as the example in the National Football League. These are
32:40
Speaker 1: guys where this is pretty much and I don't live
32:43
Speaker 1: in their house.
32:44
Speaker 2: I'm sure they like their wife and their children more.
32:47
Speaker 1: But they pretty much love Kirkchin, Baseball, Sando, the NFL
32:52
Speaker 1: more than anything other than their own loved ones, and
32:57
Speaker 1: the process of determining history more so than any I
33:02
Speaker 1: think other aspect of the sport that they love more
33:06
Speaker 1: than anything. And there are twelve people that think that
33:11
Speaker 1: way in Major League Baseball history that have earned that vote,
33:15
Speaker 1: and the same thing about the National Football Leau. I
33:17
Speaker 1: would trust Hugh Millen on that committee, somebody that's going
33:20
Speaker 1: to watch probably every single game that Bill Belichick coached
33:24
Speaker 1: before he feels comfortable weighing in. I want people that
33:28
Speaker 1: take it that seriously. I want them on the committee,
33:31
Speaker 1: and then when the process is over, I want them
33:34
Speaker 1: to vote on each other to determine if somebody is
33:37
Speaker 1: being biased or not, and then to kick them out.
33:40
Speaker 1: That's what I want it to come to, because there
33:43
Speaker 1: are too many people.
33:44
Speaker 2: And this is the problem with both of the votes.
33:47
Speaker 1: Who play games. Well, he's a Hall of Famer, but
33:51
Speaker 1: not yet. Or he's a Hall of Famer, but not
33:55
Speaker 1: before him. That guy's been waiting for so long. He's
33:59
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, but let's wait till he dies. No,
34:04
Speaker 1: that gamesmanship, that nonsense is the problem with both of
34:10
Speaker 1: the processes. And I know that you just don't hand
34:15
Speaker 1: it over to riders because they old biases. I also
34:18
Speaker 1: know you don't just hand it over to players because
34:20
Speaker 1: they hold even more biases. And you obviously can't even
34:23
Speaker 1: trust executives because it sounds like Bill Pollian's the guy
34:26
Speaker 1: that poisoned the well against Bill Belichick here. So to me,
34:30
Speaker 1: it is just a process, and we're able to identify them.
34:33
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell can identify them. Even the college football Playoff Committee,
34:38
Speaker 1: you don't have the right people picking who the best teams,
34:41
Speaker 1: who have the best resumes. In college football, you've got
34:45
Speaker 1: ads in there that watch like three games a year,
34:47
Speaker 1: and they're playing politics with who gets into the tournament
34:51
Speaker 1: or not. Can we just put people who are one
34:56
Speaker 1: hundred percent a plus passionate about the sub and let
35:01
Speaker 1: them dive in and then let them meet once a
35:03
Speaker 1: year in dark robes and dark rooms with candles burning,
35:08
Speaker 1: and then, like the Pope, they release smoke based on
35:11
Speaker 1: when they've made a decision. I want those twelve people
35:15
Speaker 1: arguing over who gets into the Hall.
35:17
Speaker 2: Of Fame, and that's it. I like that idea.
35:20
Speaker 6: I mean the idea of basically just passionate people that
35:23
Speaker 6: are full of integrity, that want to do it for
35:28
Speaker 6: the right answer, not for the right reaction, right. I
35:32
Speaker 6: mean not having Bill Belichick is there's just a reaction.
35:38
Speaker 6: You're doing it kind of to see see I can
35:42
Speaker 6: find something and I'll debate.
35:44
Speaker 2: It with you.
35:45
Speaker 6: It's like, what is it really though? Is it really
35:47
Speaker 6: worthy of the in or out aspect? I mean, it's
35:51
Speaker 6: just all across the boarder. You're right, both Hall of Fame.
35:54
Speaker 6: The process behind both of them is flawed, to say
35:58
Speaker 6: the least.
35:58
Speaker 2: And yet it doesn't seem like they're doing enough trying
36:01
Speaker 2: to fix it.
36:02
Speaker 6: I mean the idea of having somebody that just like
36:05
Speaker 6: Hugh Millen is a prime example. I mean, former player,
36:07
Speaker 6: but he's been now an analyst and a guy that's
36:10
Speaker 6: dove into expanding his knowledge about the game and then
36:14
Speaker 6: espousing his knowledge about the game, and then he wants
36:17
Speaker 6: to take he wants to take as much time as
36:21
Speaker 6: possible to gather as much information about any topic possible,
36:24
Speaker 6: about the passion that he has about the game, that
36:27
Speaker 6: he would do that same exact thing. Yes, it's not
36:29
Speaker 6: hard to find a group of people out there that
36:31
Speaker 6: would fit the criteria that you're talking about. Instead of
36:34
Speaker 6: basically they they want to do it somewhat politically. They
36:37
Speaker 6: want it to be.
36:38
Speaker 2: A moral police and everything else.
36:41
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna rush Kirby Puckett to the front
36:44
Speaker 1: of the line after he passes away because we're sad,
36:48
Speaker 1: and then we find out two years later that he
36:50
Speaker 1: beat his wife NonStop, Like, where was your moral code
36:55
Speaker 1: of conduct?
36:56
Speaker 5: Then?
36:56
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Kirby Pucket shouldn't have been in
36:58
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, but we different rules for different
37:01
Speaker 1: people as they come along, and there shouldn't be any of.
37:04
Speaker 7: That their personal satisfaction. We've just shouldn't be.
37:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty people in the Major League Baseball Hall of
37:10
Speaker 1: Fame we know have taken steroids, and yet we stand
37:13
Speaker 1: on moral high ground and we keep a certain few
37:16
Speaker 1: of them out.
37:16
Speaker 2: Because they took steroids. Yeah, I mean, it's just nonsense.
37:21
Speaker 1: Put twelve passionate people in the room, let them argue
37:24
Speaker 1: over it every year, and let them make the decision
37:28
Speaker 1: because the processes that we are using in both sports
37:32
Speaker 1: are terrible. Matt Hasselback's Next Sports Radio ninety three point
