  Speaker 1: A bit of the plate play throw.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Hits those six that one of the gap in the
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: upside the field, and it's gonna jack the roll. Scoring
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: is Donovan.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Here comes a Rosaena coming to the plate. Relay throw
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: in there and a two nothings start here in Game two,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: and the hottest hitter the Mariners have, dominant, Canzone comes
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: through again another two too little liner in.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: The right field.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Bower's coming on and it falls for a hit, scoring
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: his Canzone Young right behind him and Taylor Ward down
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: zero two fought back in the count and dumps a
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: two run single the right.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It's four nothing. Rish Naylor, who pops out the first
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: pitch he saw, hits.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: That one fair and down the line and it kicks
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: off the wall. Two more coming home, a Rose Arena scores,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Canzone scores, Naylor drives in two, and just like that
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: it is seven nothing Mariners. What a turn of events.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Tonight after what the the pall club.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Endured last night, no doubt about it. After losing twenty
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: two nothing the day before, the Mariners had their first
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: three base runners or batters got on base, four runs
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: in the first three more in the second, had built
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a seven to nothing lead, and they came close to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: blowing it, allowing the Brewers to score five times the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: last five runs of the game, but Andre's munios closes
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the door. Mariners win last night seven to five. It
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: won't make you forget about Tuesday night, but it certainly
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: does soften the blow. Mariners TV with the highlights there,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and the MS have a chance, even after losing twenty
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: two to nothing on Tuesday, to win the series. Today.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: George Kirby gets the ball for the MS. Robert Gasser,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a left hander, not a great one, not even a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: good one, but he's all right. He'll get the ball.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: He is left handed for the Milwaukee Brewers. First pitches
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: at one ten there, and that's where we'll start. A
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: frost brewed course like choose chill headlines. The Astros one
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: as well last night. And so you lose twenty two
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to nothing and you don't lose any ground, but you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: win seven to five last nine, you don't gain any ground.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That's baseball. Astro's still up four in the American League West.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: The Mariners did gain a half game in the wild
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: card standings. They sit here this morning two and a
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: half games back, but six teams between them and that
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: final spot. Seahawks training camp continues in Nashville, which we'll
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: find more out about later with Greg Bell here in
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: about one minute. The NFL preseason scheduled enters week number
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: two this evening, the Raiders and the Texans, the forty
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: nine Ers and the Chargers Husky Camp. Of course, that's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: where I sit here this morning for a second day
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: in a row, at the fifty yard line, at the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: greatest setting in college football. We're going to do two
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: hours on college football again today before returning to the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: studios for normalcy finally in our lives as a station
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: on Friday. But two more hours of Husky Talk today
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: with another special guest. Co host Mario Bailey is going
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to join me from eight to ten here this morning.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: We'll also hear from Jed Fish. We'll hear from Demon
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Williams Junior, and Emmanuel Carnley right here on the show.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: The Huskies have a mock game this Saturday at six
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: thirty and four to twenty is their FanFest, so it's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: going to be a busy day here for the Huskies
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. And I misspoke earlier with our headline segment. Yes,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the Sounders lost but they didn't score a goal late.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I have been notified two to one. The lost to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the Austin franchise puts them at eight straight losses in
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: MLS play. Never thought I'd say those words, not this year,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: maybe never ever about a Sounders team of Brian Schmetzer team.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: But they are having a hard time finding their way
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Those are your headlines. Brought to you by Frost Brewed

• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Seahawks football with Greg.

  Speaker 2: Oh, how is Nashville on this Thursday morning, mister bell.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Man, Good Tom? Yeah? Yeah? In the summer? Yeah?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Have you already had some hot chicken? Have you already
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: had some hot chicken or some biscuits?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Not yet, No, but you will. I got here like
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: one am last night.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, Okay, that's where you're more responsible than me, because
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I think at one third I would have had hot
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: chicken and biscuits.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's what I would have done.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, I have to double think about that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: That does come in mind.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you got plenty of time that's right. Yeah, you
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: got plenty of time this weekend to hit the hotspots.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, thanks for joining us. I know you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: had a late night and now it turns into an
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: early morning even though it's what ten o'clock there in Nashville.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So let's talk cornerbacks. I mean, Arnold I thought was
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a luxury item, and yet you don't know when Terry
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and Arnold might play. So now you signed Trayvon Diggs.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And should I be worried about the Seahawks cornerback position?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Are the Seahawks worried about their cornerback position?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Obviously you don't sign a guy who's facing eighth, his
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: life's risen and then go pivot to another guy who
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: hasn't played a full season since twenty twenty two. If
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: you were satisfied and content with what you had. It's
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: not the starters. It's the third cornerback position that allows
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Mike McDonald to play these sub packages we talk about
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: all the time. He's not happy with Nami appreach it obviously,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: or else they wouldn't be doing this. Pritcht has been
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: the number one guy entering training camp third year for
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: fifth round pick from Auburn a few years ago. Unproven
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: so far, and we've talked about no eg monogamy, the
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: eight year veteran who has been recently supplanting Niami ap
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Pritchet when they go to a third corner. They've also
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: gone to three linebackers more, which I see as one
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: McDonald wanting to have a counter to McVeigh and Shanahan's
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: counters to the Seahawks this year. But also if he
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: was pretty happy with the five or six cornerbacks, he
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: would stick with that. So he's not, so he's fighting
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: alternatives and putting three linebackers on the field will take
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: an extra defensive back off. We'll see how a new
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: cornerback of former All Pro cornerback Travon Diggs coming in
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: changes that it's gonna take a while. He hasn't been
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: on a field since January, when he played two a
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: regular season finale.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And a playoff game for Green Bay.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Those are only two games for Green Bay after his
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: first six years in the league were for Dallas.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: And it wasn't even that long. He was what five
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: years in the league? Yeah, but suffice to say he's
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: got a ramp up year to go. He's on the trip.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: He was told he was supposed to be on the
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: trip here to Tennessee. I don't know if he'll be
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: on the field tomorrow. If he is, I don't know
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: if he's been participating at all. I asked him, forget
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: about Sunday night's game, but I asked him, do you
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: think you could play next Friday, the final preseason game?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And he said, I don't know. Maybe, So.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: He's not The bottom line is Mike McDonald if he
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: was satisfied with his three corners and how he played
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: defense personnel wise last year, maybe he wouldn't be doing this.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: This all started.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Because the Seahawks did not we signed Quillan and let
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: him go to Philadelphia for free agency.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I do want to get further into what kind of
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: player is Digs right now. I mean, he's still talking
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: like he wants to prove he's still the best in
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the game. I'm not sure he was ever the best
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: in the game, So there might be a perhaps a
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: morphed opinion of himself. But he was a free agent
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: still on August nineteenth, for goodness sake, the league saying,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: for the most part, you're barely NFL caliber, and yet
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: he's out here to try to prove that he's still
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the best corner in the game, not that he ever was.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So what are we what kind of dynamic are we
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: dealing with here in digs in terms of an ego
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and then just his true quality of a being a
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: football player.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, every single player in the NFL
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: has an ego. That's just how they got to where
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: He was one of the best in the league in
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, his second season. He had eleven interceptions
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: returned two for touchdowns. He led the league in interceptions.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: He became an All Pro in just this second season,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: and then he had another Pro Bowl season in twenty
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: twenty two. But as I mentioned, twenty twenty two is
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: the last time he's played.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: A full season. Injuries galore.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: He's had so many injuries in the last four or
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: five years. They include getting a concussion from installing a
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: television in his home and the television land on his
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: face and knocked him out. That happened last year and
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: he only played in seven games for the Cowboys before
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: they released him. And that he played I mentioned the
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: two games for Green Bay Packers released him just after
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: two weeks with him January fifteenth. They let him go
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: to the point of being available this long. You reach
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: a point when you're a veteran of certain status that
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: if you can command a market where they're multiple teams
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: interested in you, you just hang out and wait get
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: to pick your team. One be choosy, and two you
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: don't have to grind through training camp on August fifth, six,
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: ten twelve. Those guys don't want to do that. They
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: want to play when the games are real. So that's
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: part of it too. It doesn't make sense for Diggs
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: or anybody else who has multiple suits Now, if you
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: have only one team, yeah, you better sign with wherever
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: you get. But if you haven't, and he did visit
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the Lions, and then he visited the Seahawks on sun
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: it was a Tuesday and had to try out and
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Wednesday they signed him. But if he didn't have multiple suitors,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: he would have been signed. He would have the first team.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: If it had been the Lions last week, boom. But
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: if you once you get multiple suitors, then these.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Guys say, eh, I just wait. It's the same reason
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that Aaron Donald does come back to the Rams.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Yet, Aaron Donald's not stupid. He doesn't want to go
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: into training camp in August fourteenth. He wants to go
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: in around August twenty nine, thirties, practice a week and play.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: So there's some of that as well. But I don't
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: know that you.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Can just say, Okay, they sign of all pro a
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: guy who was an All Pro six years ago. He
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: instantly goes right on the field, and it's part of
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: the mix. He's gonna have to prove himself obviously.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Well, he's not getting a big salary, is he. He's
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: like league minimum, right.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: I would think it's not much of a league win
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: one point three million or so. Yeah, it might be
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: a little bit more since the Lions entered the fray,
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: and it might have a bunch of incentives that if
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: he's playing time, incentives on the active roster, incentives that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Would bump it up. But at his base, I wouldn't
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: think it was that high.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Greg bellis with us our Seahawks Insider from Nashville. It
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: is Nashville Week, and so yeah, there's probably more to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: discuss in terms of the cornerbacks here, but let's dive
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: into why you're there a joint practice session. And usually
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: we joke about this all the time. This just ends
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: up in fistfights. I mean, we've already seen it with
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a couple of teams in the NFL who decided to
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: do this again this year, and so that's part of it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But there's also a part of it. I heard Julian
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Love on with you yesterday and him saying, oh, no,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I really look forward to these. These are very helpful.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: So where's the reward in doing this and then compare
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: it to the risk of getting maybe too violent here
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: over the course of this practice.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Well, the reward is you get to have your starters
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: go against another team starters in a controlled environment that
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: coaches can step in and not let the quarterback get
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: hit and those type of things not always been guys
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: the ground, although they do it a lot more in
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: these pctices than against your own team. But it's a
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: chance for the ones to go against the ones, which
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: doesn't happen in the preseason anymore. And I've said this,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: at written this, I know this Tomorrow's practice will be
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: the most the Seahawks starters do until the games get real.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: They probably won't play again. Some will, but very few
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: will probably play Sunday night in the preseason game and
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: preseason final. None of them will play a game. So
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: McDonald likes to put ones against ones and at least
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: get his starters something resembling real football before it gets
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: to be real football. The other thing is they can
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: do more of their playbook. And I wrote this last
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: time sex had joined practice last year in Green Bay,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: and the same thing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Two years ago when we were here in Nashville.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: These games, these scrimmages, unlike the games, are not on television,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: so there's no way to have other teams record the
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: games and scout them, which they do.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And the scrimmages are not on television.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: They're only the private films of the two teams involved.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: So you can run a little bit more of your
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: playbook without worrying about the whole league seeing it. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: they don't play the Titans this year, so they don't
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: care what the Titan see of it, So we're going
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: to see more of Brian Fleury's playbook. We're gonna see
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: more blitzes in very fronts of Mike McDonald's. Frankly, it's
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: the reason why I fly here. This is the News
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Tribune's coverage is of the starters, and that's of keen
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: interest tomorrow. The downside, of course, what you said, it
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: sometimes becomes w w lee or worse. And the players
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: actually like that too, because they've been banging on each
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: other for four weeks of training camp. They want to
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: take their stuff out on somebody else for a change,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: and so does the other team. So the coach has
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: actually let this go a certain way up until a
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: point that sometimes the line gets crossed, but up to
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: the line, and McDonald loves to go up to the
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: line on aggression and be guys fighting in training camp.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: So yeah, they'll be fights tomorrow. Yeah, Devin Witherspoon's going
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: to make a bunch of Titans mad and mcdonald'll be
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: fine with that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I saw angry McDonald got with his own
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: guy for getting too close to Sam. What happens if
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: a Titan gets too close to Sam.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Then there's about eighty nine other Seahawks that are going
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to jump that guy. It won't be just a coach.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: That's what the melee is.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: That's the most common malee I've done these joint practices.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: That's the most common reason that there's a fight. If
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: anyone gets close to Sam Darnold tomorrow, then we'll have
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: the biggest fight they've had in years.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Where are we at with Terry on Arnold right.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Now waiting in limbo just like he is. Here's what's
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: on the deal with that. The Seahawks have no incentive
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: to sign him before the final preseason game because he
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: takes up a roster spot for the day he signs,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: and then perhaps the next day or the next day
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: or two. Roger Goodell would put him on the exemplest
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: but he can't put him on the exemple listun till
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: he's under contract with somebody. What do you exempt from
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: if you're a free agent, So he has to sign first.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Why would the Seahawks sign him and have him take
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: up one of the ninety it's actually ninety one roster
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: spots because they have Federico Moranges the guard center from
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Puerto Rico in the international program. Because they've took on
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: an international player, they get an exemption Hey have ninety
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: one players. Why would you not have a chance to
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: evaluate all ninety one of those players through the final
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: preseason game against Kansas City August twenty eight Why would
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: you add a guy who can't practice and play as
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: soon as he gets here once he's on the exemp list.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: So it doesn't make sense to put on on the
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: active roster even for a day, because you'd have to
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: cut somebody, which means that's one fewer guy to evaluate
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: that maybe you could sign to the practice squad or
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: if you need him.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Down the road or whatever.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: So the way to the evaluations, however, which is the
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: final preseason game. And I bet August twenty ninth, Terry
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: on Arnold's going to sign.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: In August thirtieth, when the rosters need to be cut
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: from ninety to fifty three, the NFL will suspend him
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and then he'll become roster exempts.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: All right, what do you got on the show today?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Here's what I'm expecting. Blake Shelton at ten oh five,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: ten thirty, Morgan Wallen, I don't know she's got connections
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: to football. Maybe Taylor Swift at eleven. That wouldn't be
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a bad idea for the show today, So well, what
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: are we gonna do? What are we going to stir
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: up there in Music City?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: My show's two packed today to get Taylor Swift in.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: So today I'll be here in Nashville for a few
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: days so I can talk to her. Down the road
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: we're going to dive into. There's a really weird story
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: out of Louisiana. I don't know if you brought it up,
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: but yet another rogue district judge is trying to upset
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: college football. They are allowing a temporary restraining order by
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: a judge and in Louisiana are allowing sixteen NFL players currently.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Some of them are currently on NFL rosters, including one
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Seahawk Hankerson, the running back.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Have you talked about this.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I have not talked about it, but I saw something
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: about TJ Harden yesterday trying.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: To these guys are getting I got a temporary restraining
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: order from a judge in Louisiana to go back to
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: play college football.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: This season, which begins like in ten days.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and guys are considering there's a guy from the
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Buccaneers LSU linebacker last year who had two acts in
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: a preseason game. Who's gonna go back to college and
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: they're gonna get the extra fifty year granted by a judge,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: and then they're gonna go into the transfer portal immediately.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: And the judge is saying that the NCAA has to
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: open the transfer portal now for.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: A week go And so TJ.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Harden, who was not very good and got cut in
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: the first pre after the first preseason game.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Is going to go into the transfer portal.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: And he wants to play next week for somebody, That's
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: where we are in college sports right now.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, there's high.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: School kids who've been wishing and praying and dreaming their
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: whole life of a college scholarship opportunity who can't even
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: get into the door of a program because a crap
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: like this. So you're gonna have NFL players going back
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: into the transfer portal to play next week in college
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: football according to this judge's ruling. I'm trying to get
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: a hold of TJ. Harden's agent and talk to him
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: about all this, this, I mean absurd. Nobody in the end,
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: no college president wants to stand up and challenge this
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: for of getting sued. So college president that it's just
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: laid down and get run over.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: It's just ridiculous. This is ridiculous.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's next tom Brady? Like Tom Brady decides, Hey,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I never won a national title? Can I go back
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: to college?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: I mean Walter Jones has some college eligibility left at
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: this point.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just unbelievable.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: If you're Trayvon Diggs and you think I can get
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a better offer in college. Can I go back and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: play college? I got some eligibility left now that you
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: allow them to play five full years.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: It doesn't end because college presidents won't stand up and
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: object because they don't want to get sued, and they
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: wait for Congress to come in and save them. Congress
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: ain't doing it, as I've said, because they don't want
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: to lose votes. Do you think Tommy Tummerville, senator from
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Alabama's going to restrict college football in anyway?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: A vote out office tonight?
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I should have brought that up to you. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: don't know if I entirely grasped what was going on,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate you bringing that up.

• 22:22
  Speaker 2: joining us here starting at eight o'clock on the radio show.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: But I do have time here, and so I'm gonna
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: spend some time. We still have the ABC's that the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: MS to get to. But I'm gonna discuss my favorite
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: story of the entire day. And you want to talk
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: about something that hits you in all phases like it is,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it makes you angry, it solves some questions that we've had.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: So it's it's it's intelligence gathering. It's also gonna make
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you laugh, probably it does me. And so let's get
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: into it. Because when Mark Walter, the owner of the Lakers,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: sold the Lakers, everybody was going everybody was caught off guard,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: like how did this come out of nowhere? I mean,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: you don't just sell the Lakers on a random Monday afternoon,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of what Mark Walter did, and for
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: twelve point five billion dollars. So he got a you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: obviously a record price for it, so that wasn't all
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that surprising, but it's like, why are you selling? What's
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: going on? And people were speculating that he is in
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: financial trouble, but they didn't know how much. Like you
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: sell it something for twelve billion dollars, that usually get somebody.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: You can usually pay your bills with that. Yeah right, yeah, yeah,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I just got it, and he didn't get He's not
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent owner, he's just the majority. So he
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: got eight only eight anders of the twelve point five
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: billion dollars. Darn it. But you would think that you
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: could pay off a lot of bills and a lot
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: of debts with eight billion dollars, right, Yeah, of course.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Turns out he owes twenty billion dollars as part of
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a federal investigation into the way that he was conducting
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: his businesses, which was basically, and stop me when you've
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: heard this one, he was basically making promises for paying
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: off things in the future without having the money right
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: then and there. Now that's simplifying it. I'm sure that
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: that's the way a lot of people that do business,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: But he apparently wrote, in other words, a lot of
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: checks that his ass could not cash, so, in other words,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: exactly how he's been running the Dodgers with monopoly money.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: This is how I've described it to anders On Stove
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and here on Chuck and Buck in the mornings in
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the past, and certainly as of late, we've been talking
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: a lot about this. And now I feel justified, vindicated,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: validated for having brought it up so much and having
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: had the hardline stance that I've had because it did
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: not make any sense. How on earth is he going
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: to be number one? How could any business person put
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: that much money into the future without having to pay
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: it right then and there. In the sports world, I
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: don't understand the business world, but I followed sports enough
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: that I sort of understand the sports world, how could
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: he do this? We've never seen anybody do this before,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: not to that level.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: How is?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: And then secondarily how is why is he getting away
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: with doing this? Well, it turns out the way he's
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: been running the Dodgers is the exact way he's been
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: running all of his business interests, and the FEDS thought
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: enough to investigate it and say, man, you're purchasing things
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: and you don't have the assets. He owes twenty billion
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: dollars by December thirty first, so he's going to have
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: to sell the Dodgers as well. He's not even close
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: to getting that nut gathered. Wow, So he's gonna have
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: to sell the Dodgers. And here's the thing. He doesn't
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: own as much of the Dodgers as he does the Lakers.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: So he could sell the Dodgers and it's only going
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: to benefit him apparently by two three billion dollars. So
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: he's still well short of what he's going to need
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: by the end of the the end of the year. So,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: in essence, what has happened here is that Major League
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Baseball has let this guy not only buy a team
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: when he probably didn't have the money, to do it,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: but they've let him run the Dodgers. And I've been
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: complaining about Anders has heard this, oh yes for years
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: that basically letting him use outbid other teams for free
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: agents with money that he didn't have and really was
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: never intending to pay. And so now the Dodgers have
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: this runaway payroll and major League Baseball, I mean, there
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: are stories out this morning that maybe Kyle Tucker and
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Shoe a Otani never even see their money. I don't
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: know how that's possible. I don't understand it enough. I'm
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: sure whoever he sells the Dodgers are sold to, that
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: person's going to take on all of these future contracts
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: that Mark Walter has written. But for those that said, well,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: that's how you should do business, I wish we would
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: do business that way. I mean, there's this feeling that
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: just Major League Baseball owners just set on piles and
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: piles and piles of gold and that they don't invest
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: in the team. And yet there's just not enough evidence
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: to support that. The two examples that are given, well,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the Padres do it now. The Padres did it with
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: a dying owner who had one last wish before he perished.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: And that was to see the Padres in the World Series.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: So he went crazy buying players to see if he
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: could pull that off. Never did. Now his team's up
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: for sale, and the ones that are getting ready to
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: buy it from him are going to tear that thing down.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: They're gonna tear it down because they can't operate that
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: way under the current climate of Major League Baseball, and
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers can't operate this way. Cohen and New York
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: can operate this way because he's worth a trillion dollars.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: So he's just using his own personal money, like I
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: want to spend it on this, Like like my kids
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: aren't gonna be able to go to whatever college they want.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I want to spend my extra money on this. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: don't need another yacht, I don't need a better yacht.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I don't need to buy a second island. So I'm
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: gonna spend it on making Mets fans happy because I'm
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a Mets fan and I want to win for the Mets.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: And that's blown up in his face. And here for
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, here's a guy that doesn't even have that
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: kind of money, He doesn't have that kind of juice
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: and Major League Baseball Anders let him do it. Yeah,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: they let him do so. They know they want a
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: salary cap in the future, and they wanted to use
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers as the example of why we need to
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: get one. And so we'll see if that hurts or
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: helps them. The fact that Mark Walter is going to
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: go bankrupt before we even get to that collective bargaining agreement,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: because this short sort of points out that even the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: big market clubs have to to some degree operate their
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: businesses as a business, and you can't just pay players
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and win free agent bids with fake money. You should
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: have to pay them in the moment and not kick
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: the can down the road with finances that you haven't
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: even figured out how you're going to pay ten twenty
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: years down the road. So I feel very justified and
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: having brought this up recently and repeatedly on these airwaves,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: and it is, in my opinion, hilarious f the Dodgers.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: F Mark Walter.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and he's already sold, like what two other frames
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: that he has had staken at this point. CHELSEAFC, which
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: is a Premier League team, a giant Premier League team
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: in England soccer team, and you just mentioned the Dodgers
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: or the sorry, the Lakers too, so the Dodgers should
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: be coming up. We'll see what ends up happening. But yeah,
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, you've been on this train for a long time,
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: and it's not the fact that the Dodgers were spending money.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: It's that they were spending money and then just doing
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: it in a way where they can I guess monopoly
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: money is the best way to put it where they
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: don't have to pay them until later on. The deferral argument,
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: of course, and that's been the whole issue that I
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: think is gonna be the triggering point of maybe not
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: getting a salary cap, because I still think the players
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: Union's going to stand really firm on that, but at
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: least get some sort of rules, some regulations in place
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: to where they can't just be deferring a bunch of
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: these contracts. I mean, the example you brought up to
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: me was the Kyle Tucker one, and he's getting sixty
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: million dollars and he sucks.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: I like Kyle Tucker, he's a good player. I think
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: he would be thirty thirty five million at most would
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: be a fair assumption for him. But him getting sixty
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: million dollars just because the Dodgers can be like, well,
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: we can pay you two million now and then the
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: rest of it like ten years, fifteen years down the road.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, how is it fair to ter free agency?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: You're in a bidding war with a team that's not
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: even bidding with real money. They're just deciding we'll figure
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: it out later. We'll figure it out ten years down
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: the road. And now the guy that operated this way
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: is not even going to own the team, so he's
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: gonna try to sell the team. And this team's like,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, wait a minute, minute, I'm not gonna
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: give you top dollar. You've handed me a billion dollars
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: worth of salaries for players that aren't even gonna be
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: on my roster ten years from now, and I'm gonna
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: be a billion I'm gonna have a billion dollar payroll
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: ten years from now. How much more popular do you
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: expect baseball to get in ten years? I'm gonna have
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: a billion payroll before I even start adding guys that
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: are on my roster. R. What do you expect me
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: to pay you? I'm going to give you five billion
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: dollars for the Dodgers if I have to set aside,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: you know, two billion dollars for payroll ten years from now. Yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: it's so that, I mean it is. I mean, it
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: was just like, how is this happening? Why is this
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: being allowed to happen? It is breaking the entire market.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: This guy should have to pay his players now, not
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: ten fifteen years from now, and now we know he
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the money to do it. So, I mean,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: we just allowed two three free agent cycles to take
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: place in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers made a mockery
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: of the entire system, and now we understand why because
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: they were intentionally mocking the system. So we'll see if
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: this helps or hurts Major League Baseball's argument for a
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: new collective barning agreement and for a salary cap. But
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: never ever has it been more obvious to me that
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: we need a salary cap, yes, in Major League Baseball,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: and a floor. When I say we need a cap,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: it goes with a floor. I guess I'm gonna have
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: to say that every single time cap and a floor
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: and revenue sharing. And the Dodgers have ruined everything about
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: this current system. And there were already flaws in the
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: current system, as we all know. But the Dodgers have
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: absolutely obliterated it and made it obvious that we cannot
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: allow this system to convict college football.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever's going to happen with this new collective bargaining agreement,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: it will represent significant change going forward. And so I'm
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: angry about it. I feel validated for having discussed it
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: so much. And I also think it's hilarious. I think
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: it's just so funny. All right, ABC's of THEMS. Next

  Speaker 2: us here today at our set at the fifty yard
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: line at Husky Stadium as we bring you Husky Camp coverage.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: It starts at eight o'clock with Mario Bailey right here
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: on the radio program, our special guest host, and we
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: got all sorts of terrific guests. I'm on Williams, Jun
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: You're gonna join us, Jetfish gonna join us before the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: end of the show as well, So that gives us
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Anders and I one more segment here before we dive
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: into college football. So I had to squeeze in the
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: ABC's at the MS. It's a daily occurrence for goodness sake.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: And we left off yesterday at P and P is
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: for proof. And Andrews, I know you're with me on this.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: What more proof do we need that Kate Anderson is
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: ready for the major leagues? Or at least how much
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: more proof do we need that he's mastered?
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Double A zero zero proof is what's needed. He's one
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: of the five best pitchers in this team right now,
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: and I don't and if there's any question of that,
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: we deserve to at least test, like test it out
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: to see if that's the truth, because I think almost
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: all analysts kind of can assume that that's the case
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: at this point. So I want to see what he
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: looks like at the major league level. And we talked
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: about it yesterday. Even if he's not going to be
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: a starter for this year and you envision him, here's
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: a role, a role. Yeah, if you do make a
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: playoff run, you could still you know, get him into
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: the bullpen. You got to kind of have him warm
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: up to that idea first, So get him some reps
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: here at the end of the season. Don't wait for
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: the September call ups.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's only throwing four innings at a time.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I mean he's basically being an opener, right, like an
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: exaggerated opener. It's not like you've stretched him out to
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: pitch seven meaningful innings in a playoff game. Like, that's
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: not what you're growing towards. He's not really going further
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: than four to four and a third four and two
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: thirds innings five innings his entire season. So I mean
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: you pretty much got him in a really I would
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: think a really interesting position where he could contribute three
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: innings of relief. Yeah, four innings of relief, even at
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: the major league level. So I don't know what's taking
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: so long. I mean, this organizations always priding itself on
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: how creative that it is. Get creative. Get him on
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: the roster for goodness sake, and if nothing else, don't
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: get creative. Bryce Miller's struggling right now, Yes, Kate Anderson
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: replaces him. Bryce Miller goes to the bullpen. I mean,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: if he was sweating and spitting after four innings in
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee the other day, maybe he's got some arm fatigue,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: maybe he should have a condensed role for the rest
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: of the season. But man, it would seem like a
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: terrible waste of a piece if Kate Anderson gets to
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: this team too late because you were waiting for some
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: sort of September deadline. Yeah, but they're not the only ones.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: The Cleveland Guardians can't score a run, and they got
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: this prospect named Ralphie Velasquez who's destroying a minor league
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: all year long, and they apparently are waiting till September
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: first to call him up as well. And it looks
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: like they're going to be out of it. I don't know.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I thought we changed these rules so we didn't have
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: to worry about when we triggered somebody's you know, clock.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it seems like they are waiting till the
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: rosters expand to get some much needed help because the
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Guardians desperately need some offense, and the Mariners need something
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: out of their bullpen to help them because they're gonna
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: have to rattle off a lot of wins. And when
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: you win, you pitch your best guys almost every night.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Point.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I think we need Kate Anderson sooner
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: than we needed him yesterday. U and Q is for quitter.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Katel Marte, Man, what a weird story has taken place
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: in Arizona. And and I mean it's as simple as this.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: He's got a knee issue and he has some emotional
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: issues and he just decided I'm not showing up for work.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: What we don't know is how bad the knee is
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: and how bad the emotional issues are, right, And so
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: that's what we don't know here in this equation, And
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: so that's what they're trying to get to the bottom
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: of in Arizona. But Katel Marte has got quite the
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: soap opera that he's generated. The former Mariner with the
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Arizona Diamondbacks, who are just one game out of a
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: playoff themselves, so.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: They need him.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: He's their best player. They need him on the field,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: all right, coming up next. Speaking of the field, we're
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: on the field at Husky Stadium and in the next
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: two hours we've got some Husky football to discuss. Mario
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Bailey will be my special guest host if we can
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: get him in the building. Sports Radio ninety three point
