  Speaker 4: The Huskies an attempt from three to tie the game

  Speaker 4: news when we get a chance later on the show.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: But we've been so busy so far this morning that
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: we now need to check in with our Seahawks insider
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: joining us on the program.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It is Greg Bell with the bell tolls.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Copola Diamond
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: Collection Prosecco Chris Sparkly with bright Fruit Flavors to make
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: every toast shine Game Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Forseeco.
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: Now with twelfth Man News, Here's Greg Bell with Chuck
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: and But did you hear the bell toll this morning?
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Yes, I knew it was coming.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I suppose when the Seahawks make their best wide receiver,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: the highest paid wide receiver in the National Football League,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: we ought to find out what's up from our Seahawks insider.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: So Seahawks insider, what's up.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Well, we know what's coming. The timing of it is surprising.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: It's a little beyond the norm. It is a lot
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: beyond the norm by a few months on how John
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Schnider usually gets this done right for training camp. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: this was such a FATA company that that's why it's
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: getting done now. And now we know why they aren't
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: spent all their salary cap space on free agents from
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: other teams that they have no idea how good they
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: might fit in Seattle. They have a pretty good idea
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: how Jackson Smith and Jim is going to fit for
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: a long time here. His representative is the Win Sports
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Group confirming this morning it's one hundred and sixty eight
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: point six million up to it's over one hundred and
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: twenty million guaranteed. That's the big number of the players
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: care about. And forty two point one to five million
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: a year over four years. That's a record for riches
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: deal in the NFL for a wide receiver. And it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: what we said it'd be at the top of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: market around forty million a year. And Devin Woo, who's
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: been's next, is the upshot to this at the same
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: type of deal, top of his market, which will be
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: thirty million or so per season. Look that the Super
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Bowl champions who had the NFL offensive Player of the
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: year at one of the marquee most important positions in
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: the sport. Yes it was he splashed hugely one year
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: after they trade DK Metcalf. But he just turned twenty
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: four years old last month, which is hard to believe.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: But he came in the league when he was twenty
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: out of Ohio State as a first round pick. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: this is the backside to how expensive Super Bowl championships are. Yes,
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: it's expensive, and you lose some of your guys, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: you lose the Super Bowl MVP and Kenneth Walker and
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: they can't keep everybody, but the dudes you decide to
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: keep are pretty damn good. And Jackson Smith and Jigg
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: was at the top of his position, Devin Witherspoon's at
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: the top of his position. Sam Donold is as sending
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: to a top of the sport's most important position, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: it's clear that those are the franchise cornerstones and they're
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: going to get paid like it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I know this story is just breaking, So I
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: don't know if you've had a chance to get your
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: arms completely around it. But I certainly have to ask
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: do you know when the pay rays would kick in?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Is that like an immediate thing or would it start
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: next season? What are you hearing on that front?
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Well, if it's patterned, like I haven't heard exactly, but
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: if it's patterned, this follow is exactly what they did
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: with Charles Cross. And I wrote Saturday about when they
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: decided on Friday and announced that they were picking up
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: the extension to fifty year options on Witherspoon and Smith
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: and Jigba. I said, Aha, I know what he's doing here.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: John Schneider did the same thing for Charles Cross when
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: he was deciding this time last year about whether to
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: pick up the fifty year option on Charles Cross. I
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: asked Schneider at the combine, are you doing it just
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: to buy yourself time and leverage to strike a longer
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: term deal at a better cap number than that guaranteed
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: fifty year option for twenty twenty six on Cross. When
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: he looked at me and he smiled. He didn't want
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: to be quoted on the record, so he smiled and
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: nodded his head. And that's exactly what happened. It took
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: some monthsly into January and during this last playoff run,
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: but they got the deal done with Cross. What the
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: deal with Cross did is it saved the Seahawks about
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: eight million dollars in salary cap money, in salary cap
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: space and accounting money for this year by giving him
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: an extension one hundred and four million dollar extension over
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: four years, near the top of the market for left tackles.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: It gave Cross seventy five million up front, which is
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: why he was all for it, and it ripped up
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: the seventeen point sixty five million cap number all guaranteed
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: that that fifty year option would have been for twenty
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: twenty six on Cross, and got it down to about ten.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: That's what's going to happen here. The number would have
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: been twenty four, twenty three and change on Smith and
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: jigbowing a fifty year option, all guaranteed, all on the cap.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: But by doing this contract, you can spread the signing
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: bonus across the legth of the deal for five years,
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: counting the fact that he would have the next year
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: two and that reduces his cap number for next year
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: far better than it would have been. It'll be below
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: twenty three point eight million or whatever it would have
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: been for the cap number for the guaranteed fifty year
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: for next year. So it gives a Seahawks flexibly if
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: you know you're going to sign him anyway to a
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: long term deal. It really behooves the team to do
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: this so that gives them more spending buying power for
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: next year rather than have to play under that fifth
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: year option number. So that's what's going on. That's the
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: same thing that's going to go on for Devin Witherspoon.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: His fifth year option number for cornerbacks for twenty twenty
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: seven will be twenty one plus million. They'll get an
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: extension done with him at the top of the market
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: thirty plus million a year. That'll drop that cap number down.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: It's smart for the player to take all the guaranteed
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: money he can win he can and he knows he
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: wants to be here anyway, and he just won a
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: super Bowl with this team.
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: Do you think there's anything to do with the pookin
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: nakup like trying to get his deal in first, Because
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: I think he's kind of in that same boat right
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: where he's probably going to get an extension here soon.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: And to me, it's good business if you're the first
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: one to get in there. Otherwise the next guy is
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: kind of like, well, I want the next bump. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: want to be the next highest face.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: Maybe, But if you do comps, and if you're the
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Smiths and Jiggbs agents, it's an easy comp to say,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: how many rings does Puku and Theakua have? And my
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: guy just beat your guy head to head, had to
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: put the Super Bowl on the line. But that's what
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Nikoua's agents will throw all the other stats and provoled
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: all pros and all that, but the bottom line is
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Smith and jigb is the reigning NFL Offensive Player of
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: the Year and his current value should be higher, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: so they, in his agent's minds, put out a number
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: forty two plus million a year that they think Nikoua's
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: agents might have a hard time matching with the Rams.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: But you, Bucky, just nailed what NFL agents and free
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: agency and contract extension is all about. It's not necessarily
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: what my guy's worth, it's what my guy's worth next
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: to the next guy. Smith and jig obviously is pretty
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: well comped to anybody else in the league right now.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Greg Bell's what us our Seahawks insider. We sent out
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: the bell signal and he responded immediately. That's what superheroes do. Jackson,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Smith and Jigba last hour agreed. The announcement came to
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: an extension of forty two million dollars per year on
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: a four year deal, and so he is for now
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: the highest paid wide receiver in the National Football League.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: So is there any reason why Witherspoon would be treated
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: any or handled any differently. I mean, I know he's
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: not going to make that money, but considering that his
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: contract expires, he's a first round draft pick of the
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: same draft. Is there any reason why they would do
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: things differently with him?
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: No, And this follows what they've done with their franchise
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: foundation players, going back to Russell Wilson in the twenty
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: twelve draft. So no, and the top of the market
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: for cornerbacks. The only reason he Witherspoon won't make forty
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: two point one five million the Smith and jig was
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: making is that the top of the cornerback market right
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: now is thirty one million dollars per year on average.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: They take average annual value of the contract as the barometer,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: the benchmark to compare my guy to your guy. Chat
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: McDuffie with the Rams. Incidentally, just signed a deal when
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: he got traded from the Chiefs former udeb Husky for
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: thirty one million at four years, one hundred and twenty
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: four million. That's where Devin Witherspoon's negotiating will start. Witherspoon's
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: younger than Trent McDuffie. He's more accomplished than the fact
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: that he too has a ring and he's been in
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: three Pro Bowls in his three years. So that's where
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: it'll go about thirty one million a year to put
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: him at the top of the market. And I'll be
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: writing and story and talking to you on the radio
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: in some weeks and months to come that they have
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: the richest cornerback in NFL history, Devin Witherspoon at thirty
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: one plus million years. So this is exactly on for him,
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: and this is exactly how John Schneider does business. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: this is exactly why they didn't go big splash on
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: all these names at the beginning of March because they
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: wanted to. Not only did they want to do this
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: for what their financial plan was, they want to send
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: a message inside their own locker room. If you're one
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: of our guys that we drafted and you've done it
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: our way and you've excelled and gotten us to the
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: apex of the sport. We're going to reward you. If
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: anybody else who walks through that door, if you do
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: it our way at the top and the best of
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: your position, we're going to reward you too. And that's
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: a powerful message, and teams love to be able to
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: send that. Not every team. It's rare that you can
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: do that. It's rare that you had the cap space,
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: it's rare that you had the performance on the field
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: to max out your guys at their position at the
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: top prime of their careers. It's a hats off to
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: John Schneider and his salary, cap and management team to
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: be able to do this, because it's a I can
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: just tell you from being an inside NFL lock rooms
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: for twenty five plus years. When teams can do this,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: it's a really really powerful precedent that resonates across the
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: league and it even attracts other outside free agents to
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: man these guys take care of their own and it's
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: not just a mercenary pay to play, Go get a championship,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: and then go get your money somewhere else. It has
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: a real kickback effect to the future on signing, both
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: inside your own poker room and outside.
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: Gee, I mean another guy home grown but not obviously
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: to the level of Jackson Smith and Jigbar or Devin Witherspoon.
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: Jake Bobo ends up getting kind of an extended offer
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: sheet from the Jacksonville Jaguars that I think he's already signed.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Right, So now is it in the Seahawks.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: It's in the balls in their court that they could
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: either match that offer or he's going to be a
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: Jacksonville Jaguar.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And what do you think they're going to do?
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is in the Seahawks court and they have
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: five days. He was a restricted free agent. So the
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Seahawks right at the beginning of the league year, an
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: hour before the one o'clock March eleventh kickoff of the
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: league year, they tendered Jake Bobo. What's that mean? Will
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: you attender him an offer at a slotted value of
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: this case three point five million dollars to have the
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: rights to have Jake Bobo for twenty twenty six. Now,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: they had a right of first refusal tender, which meant
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: its means that if another team does sign him to
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: an offer sheet, did you have the right to match?
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: That's what the Seahawks tender off contained. The fact that
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: he has visited Jacksonville and signed an offer sheet with
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: the Jaguars means that offer must be better than one
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: year a three point five two million or that's why
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: would you sign it? Because you already have three point
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: five two million and a guarantee for twenty twenty six
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: with the team you grew up with. So the Jaguars
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: are offering off are obviously offering more. Perhaps it's multi year,
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: more likely it's more money than three point five to
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: two million. Now, what Schnyder and the Seahawks have to
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: start thinking about is what's our value calculation here? This
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: is an undrafted rookie who played only seventeen percent of
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: the offensive snaps last year, but as a special team's mainstay.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: He caught a touchdown pass in the NFC Championship game.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: He bought three dudes on a third and seventeen that
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: was the key to winning the NFC West and getting
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: the number one seed Week eighteen at San Francisco, And
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: that tenneth Walker play. And he's a glue guy. What
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: I mean by that He's an inside the locker room
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: and Buckey knows what this means. But for those listening,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: he's an inside the locker room glue guy, another one
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: of those doing it the Seahawks way. Everything coaches have
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: asked for him to do. You only run down and
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: do kickoffs and punts. You only get concussed in the
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: preseason finale Green Bay last year catching punts. Sure, whatever,
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: and he does it all. How valuable is that? And
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: if that number that Jacksonville has offered him, and he
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: signed an offer sheet to exceeds what Snyder has budget
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: is worth to them, they won't keep them. They have
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: until Wednesday to decide this. It's five days. I think
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: they're gonna match it because he is a glue guy
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: and because of the message they want to spend send
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: inside their own locker room. But if that offer is
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Richard and Snyder had budgeted for he was willing to go.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: He won't do it. That's just the way he's done
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: it for sixteen seventeen years now.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: He breaks NFL stories. He takes romantic strolls through fields.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Of cherry blossoms. That's your Greg Bell for you right there, Ashley.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: Anybody have you gone up to you dub the last
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: couple of days. Saturday night was crazy.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It was so beautiful, gorgeous.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: They've never lit it up before. I lived like farm
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: box from there, and they have never lit up at night.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: The cherry blossoms and they put them in under pink lights.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: So we roll in there on Saturday afternoon seeing them
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: in their sunny glory, and then there's a table that says, hey,
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: come back tonight. Smart move by the University District's Chamber
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: Commerce and Businesses. The kids are on spring break at
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: you dubbed, so they're not much going on anyway, so
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: let's open it up to the plub. It was packed,
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: it was civil, they were playing classical music. It was
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: really cool, very nice, and it's still Yeah, they won't
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: do it at night, but they're still up during the day.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: If you get a chance to roll up to you dub,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: it's just a beautiful natural wonder across the quad.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Really cool.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Well thank you, Greg, appreciate you by the way,
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: gee real quick. Albert Brier is saying that it's a
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: two year deal for five point five million is what
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: the Jags have signed him to, So four point five
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: million guaranteed with a one point seventy five signing bonus,
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: and then there's some some over the next two years,
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: and then there's some incentives, so it could be a
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: max value of up to seven million bucks.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: You think that's going to be too rich for their blood.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: And the double years and the guaranteed money, that's a
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: million more guaranteed. Now they have a million. But do
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: they want to set that precedent again? He's really disciplined
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: to his plan and he has told us at times
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: that he hasn't been disciplined and it's burned him. Jaymond
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Jones is another example of that. But the difference being
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: this is an in house guy, so to see, We're
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: going to see how valuable Jake Bobo is to them
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: in the next couple of days. But the numbers you
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: just threw at me, I would think they would say, well,
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: it's kind of like Kenneth Walker and the Chiefs. You're
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: gonna offer more, more, like more. To the point, it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: more like the Bears and Kobe Pryant. If you're gonna
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: offer fourteen and a half million dollars, good for Kobe Bryant.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: If they're gonna offer him seven million dollars with four
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: and a half potentially guaranteed, and that's good for Jake Bobo.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: All right, Greg, thank you, sir.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: We appreciate it, and I'm sure we'll bug you again soon.
• 18:55

• 20:27
  Speaker 4: NHL really announcing that the Cracking are going to be
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: involved in something pretty cool this upcoming year. The NHL,

  Speaker 4: in Helsinki, Finland on the twelfth of November. Also the
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: fourteenth of November. Man, this is this is exciting, and
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: I can't believe that KJR and iHeart are going to
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: spring for us to go.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I know, awesome.
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: It's amazing that it's we already have basically come up

  Speaker 9: to that made that decision for them that. Yeah, they're
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: sending all three of us. I never been to Finland.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: I heard Helsinki's wonderful.

• 21:26
  Speaker 9: make it since we are the home of the crack,
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: and make it a little bit less expensive. So they're
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: just gonna fly us over there, but then we're gonna
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: get to stay with Coppocco.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I can't believe that they insist that we
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: stay on that minimum of four star hotel, which is
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: awesome on Iheart's part and kJ r's part. So yeah,

• 22:44
  Speaker 9: bunch of parties while you're over there and whatnot, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: and then play a little hockey on the side. Have

  Speaker 4: Chuck and Buck in the mornings. So how big is
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: the NHL? I know, hockey's obviously a huge deal in Finland.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: How big is the National Hockey League to the average fin.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: The big thing?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, we have the Hockey League over there, and
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: then a lot of people are watching that, and I
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: mean it's time difference. It's kind of sometimes hard to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: watch the games back there, you know, it's like doing
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the nights. So I mean, this is this is gonna
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: be nice for finished people. I know they're excited for that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I mean when I when I was young, I was
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you know, try to watch some game games also about
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: like I said, the time difference is kind of tough,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and then you are sleeping at night, you know, so
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: cain't what's the games? But this this is gonna be nice,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: nice for finish the finish people.
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: All right, man, Well, but how are you guys? How
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: are you guys feeling right now? Obviously getting down towards
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: the end of this UH hockey season and you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: not necessarily playing your best hockey the last few games,
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: but you guys are kind of being hot and cold.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, how are you guys feeling right now about
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: this push to try to get in the playoffs?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is the best time of the year,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: so you need wins right now. You want to make
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean that's what we what we're looking for.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, still not too many games left and then
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: it's pretty tight right now. And I mean it's all
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: not like we we need we need to win win
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: some games here. I mean, we haven't been doing well lately,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but we gotta be better, and I think that's that's
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: How are you feeling about your game? Certainly, uh you
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: got off to the start with the injury this year,
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: but I mean it just feels like you've been you've
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: kind of found your niche with the Seattle Crack and
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: So how are you feeling about your individual game right now?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Coppo, Yeah, it's I would say lately it's been better. Uh,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I mean we're playing all the all the time right now,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and and.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: I kind of feel good.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I mean the start for the season was was not easy.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: You know, getting hurt during the pre season. It's it's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: never never fun, you know, just the working out and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: can't can't play the games. That's five year here, so yeah,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that was not easy. About right now feeling feeling good
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: and and I mean, like I said, we need we
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: need Winston, and I feel the whole team is doing
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: doing well and we are ready for that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: How's the addition of Bobby McMahon, Ben, I mean you,
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: I know, you know, as a professional athlete, when the
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: team goes out and gets somebody to help you kind
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: of continue to get better as a squad, it usually
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: is kind of a shot in the arm, kind of
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: a little bit bit of a boost. Are you guys
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: feeling that right now with uh? Since Bobby mcmhon's been here, Yeah.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I think he's been awesome. Like those first first couple
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: of games, how many how many goals he scored already?
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: And and.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I mean he's good for us. He's he's strong, he's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you know, like scoring a lot of goals. I mean,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that's that's what we need right now. So so he's
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: he's hoping also.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: A lot Capocaco is with us right here on Chuck
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: and Buck. So, how many ticket requests will you have
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: from friends and family? Uh for these uh Helsinki games
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: next year?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I I already take it out. I mean
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: they announced it, like I don't know, a couple of
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: hours ago, so I already had a couple of it.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's gonna be a lot of those.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like I said, it's gonna be
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: fun to play in front of my my family and friends.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: How many times I'm excited for that about? I think
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a lot of a lot of tickets.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: A lot of tickets, A lot of tickets. How many
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Coco jerseys will you see around your hometown?
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Hopefully a lot.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's been a while when I played
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: there last time, you know, like like I played in
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Finland before I got here, that's like already eight eight
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: years ago. So I think there's not too many of those,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: right now, but hopefully when we get there, I can
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: see a lot of those.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Which of your teammates are you embarrassed to introduce to
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: your friends and family back in Finland?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I mean Brandon Montor he's he's been
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: he's been trying to asking like what are we gonna do?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: And then like you didn't need.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: The pressure all the time, like like you gotta make
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: all the you know ers and like things we need
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to do there, So he's he's giving me some pressure,

• 31:38
  Speaker 4: three kJ RM.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: By Friday morning, we need to know if we're playing
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: the Winter Song or the Loser song, boy, and we
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: got to have them both.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: All right, ready, you got to have this conversation. I
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: don't think we bring up a loser song, is what I'm.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: Probably Okay, I mean I'm here for that pretty sure.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: That's like good, it would be a record.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Well, that's somewhere ABC's we could just
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: start launching whenever we want always. Yeah, that's not an issue.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: But yeah, you're right, we need to come up with
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: a Mariners morning after song every morning after a Mariner's
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: game at six thirty. I don't think that segment has
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: been canceled. I haven't gotten the memo, but we are
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: just three sleeps away from opening day. So if we were,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: if we were intending to sleep on what kind of
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: song we're gonna have, we better at least have the
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: conversation so that we can sleep on it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, three sleeps away from opening day. It's that's Thursday.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: I'm so excited.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, I can't wait, like something to live for.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing going on.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about the roster here, because it looks
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: like we're pretty close. So nothing has been made official,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: but that Ryan Devish seems to think he knows a
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: thing or two and so he's put out and I
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: gotta believe I can't really argue with anything that he
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: put out here this morning. We've already talked about Mitch Garver,
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: but I think people like listening to you belly ache
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: about Garver, so yeah, they should at least mention him's
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: gonna make he's going to be the backup catcher.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: He's not going to.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to eat a million dollars just as
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: we can be.
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: You know the feeling that Ashley has about getting too
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: excited and then being let down with the Sonics news,
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: that's the excitement that I felt last year at the
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: end of the year, thinking I don't have to watch
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: Mitch Garver battle for walks anymore. Well, that's not true.
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: It does hurt my heart. It does hurt my heart,
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: but yeah, I mean it is what it is. I'm
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: I'm going to try to cheer for the well, I'm
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: going to cheer for the guy. I just I hope
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: to God that he just Hey, dude, you're gonna get
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: like three or four bats a week. Go up and
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: try to do something with it. And I don't mean
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: try to take pitches. That's not trying to do something.
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: They're not scared of you. They're gonna come after you
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: with stuff. Go ahead and try to hit one and
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: then maybe some good things will happen.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Other than that, everything kind of is going to script.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: I don't think that there's one relief pitcher that you're
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: gonna read about they're like, oh, I can't believe he
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: made the team, or one that I can't believe he
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: didn't make the team. That seems to be according to
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: script everything the all six of the outfielders they're gonna
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: make the team. Can Zone, Rayley, Refsnyder, Roeblaze, Roserina and
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Julio obviously the only thing and this is a lot
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: of moving parts, so we can discuss this. Cold Emerson
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: was sent down to the Miners, and this is while
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: JP is expected to start the year on the IL.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: So those two things combined are worth a conversation of
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: having anyway. But it does look like it's going to
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: be Leo Revas who's gonna play shortstop more often than
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: not until JP is ready, because JP's not going to
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: be on the IL long enough that you would activate
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Colt Emerson, and you certainly don't want to activate cold Emerson.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Then Crawford shows up a week later, and now I
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: got to make a decision on whether or not you
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: send Emerson.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Down or if he gets fewer at bats. I just
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: don't think they want to deal with that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: So it looks like Reboss will be your opening day
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: shortstop and Ryan Bliss will make this team in more
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: of a utility role fashion because Cole Jung is murdering
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: the baseball this spring and it's going to be the.
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: Starting second base. Yeah, and it makes sense. I mean
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: to some degree, you're definitely not going to bring cold
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: Emerson's not going to arrive on the big league roster
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: and not play when the time comes, And yet you
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: don't necessarily. I don't like the fact that there's a
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: possibility of the clock starting and not wanting to start
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: that clock for a week of big league games before
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: JP comes back. So I think we're going to see
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: him sooner than later. I think that he is kind
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: of this spring, he's shown that he's capable of performing
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: at the highest level. But yeah, I think that it's
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: going to be starting and off. It's a stop gap,
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: it's a band aid until JP's shoulder gets better. And
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: I think Revoss is probably the guy, and maybe Bliss
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: mixing in there a little bit as well. Yeah.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Have we seen Bliss play short stop?
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure I've seen Bliss play short stop.
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: I haven't seen him play in the big leagues at shortstop. No,
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: I think that one of the games that I called
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: down into comb I think he played short. Okay, we've
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: definitely got the range to do it. I don't know
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: for sure about the arm.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Well, incredible speed and can run into one every once
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: in a while. Not a bad guy to have come
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: off the bench. Plus he's very kind, very good dude.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, we'll we'll discuss it further the roster,
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: maybe later in the show, if not later on in
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: the week, but coming up next. I think this is
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: worthy of a big, fat segment because it looks like
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Cal and Randy have kissed and made up, So we'll.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Discuss that next.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: It's Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
