• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Today is our Friday, at least on this show. Quarterfinals
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: start tomorrow as a round of sixteen is done in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. More controversy. Egypt's mad. Now, Egypt's really mad?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Can you look at that? I go a lot of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: stuff I want to get to you just for a second.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Is there any part of you Argentina fan. Yeah, they
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: can look at that and say, really, probably shouldn't have
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: been a var review and they shouldn't have gone back
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and looked at it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: By the letter of the law, it's it's a foul.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, But are they allowed to go back that far
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: with VIA because everyone's saying the vrs that's not what
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: VR is meant for. So that's why I'm asking. I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I could see I can understand why Egypt feels hard
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: done by the decision, Okay, but the thing is even
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: right call or not? This is what I've been saying.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: The outcome of everything was Egypt ended up scoring anyway.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It didn't matter. They scored the second game.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like so the foul led to an Argentina at corner,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: which led to an Egypt counter attack, and they scored
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: without If you had just let the second goal in
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the whole passage of play changes.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Who's to say they don't score three anyway Argentina and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: win anyway, But yeah, we would never know. But yeah
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: they did score soon there.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yah, But I mean so yes, it's the whole Like
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: we talked about yesterday, the off side thing with hockey,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: how far back do you go?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Right? Right?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But this had a direct impact on the play because
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the center back got fouled. They went down and scored
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: because the center back was out of position.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: So I didn't see. I didn't hear what Chuck and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Ashley did this morning. I saw they did a whole
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: segment on replay and too much too little, And.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I mean that debate's been going on forever and that's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a whole nother discussion. If you want to change the rule, fine,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: but by the letter of the law, I.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Believe that soccer's issue with var I think that there's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit too too much gray area. Yeah. Oh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: like we know in the NFL what you can review
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and what you can't. We know in the NHL what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you can review and what you can't. We know in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball what you can review and what you can't.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Basketball is very much I think basketball is one hundred
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: percent like soccer, Like it's just very subjective like basketball, Like, ah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: let's review that flagrant foul. Is it a flagrant one
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: or a flagrant two? There was nothing called, but let's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: go back and review that and challenge this and look
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: at the time and out of the valley. But I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: think really the other sports I just mentioned, we know
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: when you can challenge a ball and strike. We know
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: when you can challenge an out at second base. You
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: can't challenge a bock, right, but you could, like so
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you kind of have this better. It feels like soccer
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: has that little bit of a gray area where we
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: don't really know, like and I think the US is
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a great example of that. What I mean, if we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: want to just cut to the chase and sorry there,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: mister Henry. Uh Like, at the end of the day,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: VR was not used properly for what ended up resulting
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in a red card, which ended up resulting in the suspension.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that if that was the NFL and there
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: or even NCAA football. God, there's no more broken sport
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in the world than the nc double A. Right, But
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: if if they used and there's somebody brought this up.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't have in front of me, but it was.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: There have been instances before where there's been a targeting
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: penalty and later on it's like, no, you can't do
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it this way, or it was executed poorly and we
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: overturned it, what have you, and so on and so forth.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: That was a part of it. So I don't know.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I listen, sorry, Egypt. I'm with everybody else. I want
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to see MESSI And if it's fixed, yeah, well it's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: not fixed. It's not. But here's the funny thing. They
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: still had to score three goals. Yeah, and they did
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: so in what fifteen minutes? For the last twelve minutes.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You know, Egypt has only themselves to blame. We have
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: we have a we have a saying when we play
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: golf on Wednesdays in the little legue I play in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: when things aren't going well and you're trying to blame
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: everything out there, you know what, play.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Better, Yeah, it's true.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Just play better, Egypt, play better? Yeah, just play better? Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I think.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And what you said about having it be so subjective
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: is I think not just with video review, it's everything,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: which is why VR is such a big issue in soccer.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Because before it was just like, okay, we're leaving it
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: up to these refs who know the game well, who
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: are on the field to make these subjective calls handball
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: very subjective, right, fouls very subjective. Having two different people,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the ref on the field and then the var ref
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: ref the same situation, who see games in different ways, right,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: That's why VR is such an issue. And to me,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: if it were me, I would just have it for
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: very binary calls offsides, ball over the line, ball out
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of bounds. Everything else is left to the referee on
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I think that would be the way to do it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And if there's and if you need supplemental discipline, which
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: mostly would do, then you go back and look at
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: it later and you have supplemental discipline and so forth.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. And that, by the way, do
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you know this that the getting they're getting kicked out
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for a targeting call doesn't exist anymore for the next game,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't carry over for the second first self, Yeah, I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: just I was listening to podcast this morning with my
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: guy Stuart Mandel, who's a big part of our show
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in the fall, and uh, they're they're podcast the Audible
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and they brought up something, and I just I don't
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: think it's right. I wasn't sue with somebody else. They said,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I think we're over we're uber focused, over
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: focused on officiating in this country, and I thought, okay,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I agree with that, by the way, but then I'm
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: but look at look at Egypt. They're losing their mind,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: right yeah, look at look at I mean, you can
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: go across the board in the World Cup. Everyone's there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: There aren't very many teams that haven't had some sort
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of complaint along the way, right right, I think every
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I think just it's because of what you just said.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It's a subjective thing. It's a there's a human element,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a human being is making subjective calls in every sport
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on the planet. And that's that's, that's and that's part
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's not like football where it's like, okay,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: by the letter of the law, this is past interference
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and like no, it's it's it's to the discretion of
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the referee.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Over officiate all over the place exactly. I mean, listen,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: we got I'm sorry the Open Championship almost called the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: British Open. Oh in golf next week, right, like think
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: about how crazy that sport is. We're going frame by
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: frame to see if a ball moved on someone's backswing
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to penalize them a stroke, or was there a speckle
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of sand that moved in the trap and then you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: cause that to happen, that's a stroke penalty, like stop it,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it affected nothing. But we do that. We do that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: because with the technology, the technology comes into play, we
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: use it. So yeah, I just listen. The World Cup's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: been sensational and the games have been awesome, even I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: know Americans hate it. Even a zero zero game yesterday
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: between Switzerland and Columbia had incredible drama, incredible opportunities to score,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: major drama even before you got to the PK and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you get to the pks, and then it still beyond
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: me why center backs who fired the ball fifty yards
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: over a crossbar like their Jason Myers from forty yards
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: out are taking PK. But that's that's a coach's decision
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and a way they go. But you know, both those
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: guys that missed yesterday, the two guys that missed the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: biggest shots yesterday, they both missed in their previous pks
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and other competitions. That's that's a bad coach, Like that's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: don't let those guys take it. It's in his head.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, it's completely in his head at that point.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So so there you go. I do have a story.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I'll get to it later this hour. Sports Business Journal
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just had something pop up about an hour ago on
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: NBA expansion and Vegas and a competing group, and I'm
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: gonna share some thoughts on how I don't like it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: only because I don't care about Vegas. I care about Seattle,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: but I don't like it because of what it could
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: mean for Seattle. And we'll get to that coming up
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit later. I'll just use one word. It's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: called delay. Okay, we'll get to that later in the hour.

• 9:32
  Speaker 1: twenty five feet out, fella.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: The worst is when they're not very good and then
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: they blame everything that happened on those things.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I usually just look in the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: mirror and say I need to play better. And I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: was awful. That was really a bad swing, And you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not very good, and that's what happens when you're
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: not very good, you have bad swings.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Uh, before I'm gonna get to just I'm gonna wrap up,

• 10:03
  Speaker 1: up in a minute. As much as I don't want
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to do this, I guess we better talk about the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: baseball team. Should we do that?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Why not? That was great? That was greedy with great enthusiasm,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah, that was that was That was

  Speaker 1: greaty with us.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I've loved my time away from doing post game shows
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: on some level really right now especially.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So here's the deal. I go back to last night
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for a second because and as mench as to Greg, So,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: first of all, big shout out to my friends at
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Farelli's Pizza. You guys know for ellies. We talk about
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: them all the time. They sponsor the Rob Rang segments
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in the fall and then the spring leading up to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the draft, but fall out every Friday during the fall.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: We talk to Rob Rang about all things college football
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: as it relates to guys that are draftable. And it's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: just a fun segment. Rob's been on forever. He's our
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: draft insider, joins us all weekend for Draft Weekend for
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and Rob's brought to you by Farelli's Pizza.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Frelis Pizza is opening a brand new location today in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Edham Claw the Claw. Cool location, right by the football stadum,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: right by the golf course, right by the fairgrounds. Awesome.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: We went there yesterday for they had like a soft
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: launch preview. We went there yesterday for that. Fantastic love,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the food, just everything about it's great, great beer selection.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And this particular location's got televisions everywhere, all right, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: they were all on one thing yesterday because there's no soccer.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: They were on your friends, the Mariners. And we got
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: there eighth inning, seventh inning, seventh eighth inning, so we
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: had the full blown Mariner effect. We got Josh Naylor
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: drawing a basis interference, We got all that, and then
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: we got the meltdown in the ninth inning or in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the tenth inning. I should say, you take a lead,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you give it up on a home run, and then
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you lose. In extras, two things. First of all, thank
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: you for Ellie. It's great stuff. Let's get to the baseball.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: The baseball is this so the rules that they have
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: who can pitch started inning, not started aning all that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I understand there's a lot of people frustrated with that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give the team the benefit of the doubt.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: They do it for a reason. They study these things.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: They have whatever metrics in front of them that makes sense, right,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So they have those rules. The place you can't really
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: give them benefit of the doubt because it's their true decision,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a very subjective decision, Like the numbers are one thing,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: but the subjective decision is to go with six starters
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and to weaken your bullpen. Now, your billpen's already been
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: weakened because you're missing a couple of guys anyway, including
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Matt Brash. But your bullpen's shorthanded now, so you have
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: guys in leverage situations that shouldn't be there. But what
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you can't have is a base running blunder like you had.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: You just you cannot have that by a major league player. Hell,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you can't have that. Well, let's even take a step back.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've spent so much time talking about youth
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: sports the last couple of days and how expensive it is.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: If you're playing travel baseball as a fourteen year old
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and you make that player, coach is going to kill you.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And you're probably not making that play because it's been
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: drilled into your head. So you have that happen and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: then you lose. But but here's the thing, where's my guy,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Joe Shean? Because Brian was bad again yesterday on the road. Huh,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: five runs or four runs, nine hits left after five.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: He texted me. He was like, this is not helping
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: my case.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, you tell me that. And I don't get to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: talk to Joe for two weeks next Tuesday for soccer. Oh,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he's so lucky. He is so lucky. First of all,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I give Joe Sheen a ton of credit for admitting that,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: because I'm drawing and I'm watching and I'm listening, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, Joe, Joe, Ian, there's not enough doubt
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to support your thesist that Brian moves bat on the road. Yes,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: there is. He's bad on the road anyway, tough loss. Listen,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: it's one on one sixty two. I'm not I don't
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: think I dwell on it too much. Other than this,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: this is not the team you can do that crap against. Now,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you cannot. You can get away with that nonsense against
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the Angels, right, you can't get away with that against
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the two teams you're playing before the break, and that'd
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: be Miami and then and then obviously uh Tampa Bay
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird because Miami, like you would think, falls
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: into the Angels category, but they're much better this year.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I mean they look good. They are eight games above
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: five hundred. They've won now what fifteen of their last
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: nineteen games. I think it is so like they're humming,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: like you can't do that against those guys, and in
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a game in which you come back against their all
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: star pitcher, like you've got to finish that thing off
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: as a very winnable game, very winnable game, very well
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: double game. Uh and in the end it isn't. I
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: still have concerns about the catcher, to be honest with you, Anders, Yeah, man,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I I this is a this will be a Mollywop
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: conversation again on Monday.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: But I just I not the same. I mean when
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I say the same, I don't mean the sixty home
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: run cow. I mean the cow that was the three
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: years prior to that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. Even in the homestand he was three
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: for twenty. And remember at the homestand he's figuring that,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: he's figuring things out. Really he's three for twenty. Well
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: state state television radio, Yeah, state run you had a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: home run. He had seven RBIs like, so you kind
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of look at all if you just look at oh
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: during the homestand home run seven, RBIs counting numbers, had
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of walks. Then you go, let's look deeper. Oh,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: he's struck out ten times in twenty at Pats.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: That's not good.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And then last night with opportunities like guys on base
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: can't catch up to things. There's something not right there.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It's just not good. So I mean, he's he's on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: pace for less than twenty home runs this year, guys,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And we knew, yes, we knew, there's gonna be a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: drop off, and we all know that. But he's that's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: that's not good. That's not good. Go get him tonight,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: get a win. Whatever you know. Here's the thing. Your weaklink,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: pitching wise is done because you got rid of Brian
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Wu already, so you don't see him the rest of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the trip. Right, and you're good. You should be fine, Right,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: should be fine. If it was at home, I say,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I get Wu back out there. But yes, Joe, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: was right, you were wrong. Take your numbers now, I'm
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: just kidding. We love Joe. They'll take on Miami tonight
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: with George Kirby on the mound against Tyler Phillips. All right,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: we come back, Chris Daniels will join us in just
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: over an hour's time, wrote a great story, did a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: great story for Como News. I wanted to get him
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: on because I kind of want to put a bow
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: on the World Cup in Seattle, but more importantly, where
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: we go from here as a city, not just sports,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: but as a city, because we're coming off See what
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: is it? What's today? The not quite a month right?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: The World Cup began on July eleventh. Was our first
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: game here like the twelfth or thirteenth, whenever it was,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: or that it was falling Monday. It was the Monday
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: right fifteenth. So we had like what three and a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: half four weeks of just absolute heaven here in Seattle,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: not just because it's because of the soccer, but because
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of everything surrounding it. We'll put a ball on that.
• 17:26

• 18:14
  Speaker 1: from Furious Felts since so what happened on Monday. It's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a little depressed, I guess, I mean hard to keep
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that energy up when things happened like they did. Yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: so yeah, you can get us a talk back as well.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Go the iHeartRadio app brought to you by cores Light
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: all Right. Mentioned earlier, this is kind of an odd day, like,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you're getting kind of that routine. Baseball is
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: this way during the season. You get in a routine.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: There's a game every day. Almost you have those days
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that you don't have a game, like what the hell, Like,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: what are we talking?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: What are we doing?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? What's going on the first day.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: We haven't had a World Cup game in this country
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: or North America World Cup game since July, since June eleventh,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: so it's a little odd. But we're done here in Seattle.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Kind of put a bow on it. We'll talk to Christdaniels,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: do a great story for Como TV about this, but
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to him at one thirty. But we're done
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: in Seattle, Like we're really done in Seattle. Like they're
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: taking stuff down. Waterfront's going away, well, the viewing areas
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and the waterfront and all that are. Even though we
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: have quarterfinal action and semi finals, it's all coming down.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: But I was thinking today about just what it meant
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to our city. And when I say our city, I'm
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: talking about the region, but certainly the city of Seattle specifically.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: You are now a homeowner in Seattle. I am. You know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: we grew up in this area, grew up and I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: grew up in Seattle. I was born on Capitol Hill,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I was I went to school on First Hill. You
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: went to school at Blanchett. Yep. This was our city,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you know for a long time, I, like many of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: us that are from here. I have this great community
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: pride for the city of Seattle.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I do as well.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of us may have lost it
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: for a while. And you know, if I just go
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: back in time a little bit, when when I was
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: done with college, came back worked here for six seven
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: years ish I guess seven years that I worked here
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: before we moved to Tri Cities, and then we moved
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to Salt Lake City, and then we moved to Portland
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: slash Vancouver, Washington before coming home, and in the back of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: my mind, I always wanted to do just that. I
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: wanted to come back home to this area. Now Maple
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Valley ended up being our home. But it's this area,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: it's hugest Sound, It's it's our town. But Seattle has
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: always held a special place for me because I grew
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: up in the city. I took the bus to school,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I took a metro bus, the nineteen bus to school.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I used to take the number two bus back in
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the day up on Queen Anne. I loved the city
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and I had great pride for it. When I lived
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in places like Salt Lake and especially Portland. Would drive
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: people nuts because I talk so glowingly about our city
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and the city of Seattle and I think a lot
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: of us feel and have felt that same way. I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: think it's also safe to say a lot of us
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: have lost that feeling over the last few years. We
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: have become a city that has become more concerned with
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: those who hurt the city. We have become more concerned
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: with those who hurt the city's reputation, whether it be
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: through crime, drug use, or other things, than the people
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: that actually make a difference in this city, small business
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: owners or even large businesses based here. We've catered to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the needs of those that hurt as opposed to those
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that help. And somewhere along the way, and it's not
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: just the current mayor, it's others along the way in
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: city council and other mayors and others in leadership, Somewhere
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: along the way, we've lost what Seattle was. There's no
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: more beautiful place in my mind in this country than
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: this then Seattle and the surrounding area where you can
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: look out and see Elliott Bay. You can look to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the west and see the Olympic Mountains, you look to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the east and see the Cascade Mountains. You look to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the south and you see Mount Rainier staring you down
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the face and saying here I am. We have such
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a unique geographic setup. Then we have things now that
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you hear, the Seattle freeze exists. People don't like each other,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: they don't want to talk to each other. That wasn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: always the case. I don't even know if it still
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is the case. But this city somewhere along the way
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: lost itself. It lost its way. We lost its way.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: All of us are culpable in some ways. But over
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the last few weeks that changed. Sports changed it, specifically
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: soccer and the World Cup changed that. It wasn't just
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty thousand people coming downtown from out
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of this area. The vast majority are from here that
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: were there, marching, celebrating, eating, drinking, singing. They were from
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: here and they were joined at the hip, even if
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: you were wearing a different colored jersey. We saw that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: on Monday, Andrews and I visibly saw that Monday and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Jimmy's on first three, Belgium fans hanging out, drinking beers,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: having a good time at Jimmy's with all us fans.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: It was awesome and we had that for a few weeks.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: They talk about what's next. The FIFA Women's World Cup
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent in. That would be great. It won't
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: be on this scale. Sorry, it just won't be the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: twenty thirty one Men's Rugby World Cup. Frankly, who cares.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe there'll be people coming here, it will be a
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: nothing burger. Now, the NFL Draft, I think that's the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: closest we could probably come for two days, three days,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I guess exactly, But we could. That would be fun,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and it wouldn't have been a global stage. Mel We're never
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: going to have this again in our lifetime. But here's
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the thing enters. The most important thing that needs in
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: my mind, my opinion, the most important thing that needs
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to come out of the last three weeks here in
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: this city is that we can be great again. We
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: can do this again. We can be a city that
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: we're all proud of again, and we can all get
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: along again. Don't let the World Cup come and go
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: without any positive silver linings after effects, right, Don't let
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: it just come and go. Don't let the World Cup
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and what we just experienced be wasted. And I'm looking
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: in the mirror at myself as well. All of us
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: need to be that way. All of us need to
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: be better and understand why this is a great city.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I mean right now. For years and years the baseball
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: team had to fight a perception of this city for
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, Marine Layer, losing attitude, whatever it was. The
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: people would come here and go, God, we had got ballpark.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It's on the waterfront. You can see the city.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Fans love you.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: It's gorgeous. The fans love you. The hockey team is
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: going through what the baseball team did. They're going through
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that right now. Today doesn't help. We've got morons that
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: are on the fringe media in our town that like
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to jump on and go with that narrative instead of same.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Wait a second, I'm at the rink every day. It's
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the best facility in town. I live in this town.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: It's an incredible atmosphere, climate Pledgerina remarkable. In the shadow
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of the space needle overlooking Elliott Bay with a window
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that open, we don't. And I use that just as
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: one small example. We do not focus in on the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: positives our own city ever, but we did the last
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: three weeks and it was flippin' awesome. We need to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: remember what it was like over the last three weeks.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: And as I look down today and I see the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: cranes and I see stuff getting taken down. That's fine.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Those structures as they come down, good Don't let the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: good will. Don't let all the positivity of the last
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: few weeks come down with the bro barge and the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: big screens and the fences around Loomenfield. Don't let that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: come down to I don't know how it has to happen.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: We don't have it feels like enough good leadership in
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: this town. But I think almost every city would probably
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: say that because nobody likes their local politicians. That's the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: way it is the reality. But we need to find
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a way to remember what these last few weeks were like.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Our waterfront is gorgeous. Walk along the waterfront, go to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Pike Place Market, take a hike up mount Side, whatever
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: it is, enjoy and realize why this is a great area.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, we showed the entire planet
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: what a great sports town we are. We put on
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: display what a great sports town. And I'm not just
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: talking sixty thousand people in the stadium. What's a great
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: sports town again, five hundred thousand people in a city,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: on a waterfront, at a bar, at a viewing party,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: going nuts. Not just for the US Games either for
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: all those games, we showed we're a great city. We
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: showed we're a great sports city. Stop catering to those
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that hurt the city. Start catering to those that helped
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the city. And that is all of us listing right now.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: We did great over the last few weeks. We did
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: awesome over the last few weeks, and I just don't
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: want us to forget that. I don't want this to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: come and go and be done. I hope it isn't.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: As I walked to the light rail the other day
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: and I kicked myself, I said, damn, it has been
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a long time. And I joked about, like, yeah, nobody's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: going to you know, the people in the International District
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: were complaining, Oh, they're not coming here. No, they're not
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: going to watch the games because you get off of
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: light rail and you go west towards the stadiums. But
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I did look up there as I was walking back
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: east towards Union Station to get on the light rail,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and I looked up there and I said, man, it
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: has been way too long since I wandered through and
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the International District, the great restaurants and just the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: great vibes I need to do that, and I will
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: do that. I hope we can all just remember what
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the last three weeks were like, because they were awesome
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: in our city, and we should all be proud of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: what it looked like. We should all be proud of
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: how it went off. It went off without a hitch.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: So a shout out to our city, you know what, specifically,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: how about a shout out to the first responders, our police,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: not just Seattle police, King County sheriffs, Washing State patrol,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: all those that kept us safe. What I don't want
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to hear and what I don't want to see, and
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: this is people are already talking about it, and let's
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: make sure this doesn't happen. Well, they just moved all
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the people out, all the drug use, all that stuff
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: went out. They're going to move it right back in. Well, okay,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: how about find a way to fix the problems. Whatever
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: we did the last few weeks, just keep doing it,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: just keep doing it. Well done, Seattle. We've been the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: shining star. You can go watch games in Kansas City
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: or wherever else now, fine, super and I can't wait
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to watch the rest of the games. But we were
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the star of the show period in the story. Great job, Seattle.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: If this was a three star selection, you get first, second,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and third star. That's all hockey, the whole difference. We
• 29:14

• 29:16

• 29:18
  Speaker 1: come back. NBA expansion. Are the the waters being muddied
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: in Vegas? Next?
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Huskies Cracking and the Twelfth Man. Brought to you by
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Seattle's closest Snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports

  Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I we're back here on a Wednesday afternoon, fourne four
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: five one. Corporate Smith coming up at one o'clock today
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Chris Daniels Rocomo at one thirty four nine four to
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: five one is the Trema Dutch text line. So it
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: stumbled across this today just an hour ago. Sports Business Journal,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: very well respected publication the business of sports West to
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: have a weekly guests back in the old days of
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: THEE and I Show with Police and I. Back in
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the day, we used to have a weekly guest on
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: from the Sports Business Journal. Abe Matdcore, who's the editor
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: for it fun stuff, but anyway, I still check it
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: out on occasion. I just saw this a group competing
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to acquire a potential Las Vegas NBA expansion franchise unveiled
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: that has already secured eight billion and financial commitments to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: land the team. That's also according to Bloomberg News is
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: co reporting on this story. Here's who it is. It's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a group called the Las Vegas Jacks. It includes Basketball
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Jerry Colangelo, former Phoenix Suns owner, executive
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Right Horizon Sports and Experiences founder David Levy in Prime
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Capital Financial chair and managing partner Scott Colangelo. Must be Oh,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: that's right, that's his Sun. Anyway, this group again, they're
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: called the Las Vegas Jacks. They reportedly have secured eight
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: billion dollars and they are now looking to also perhaps
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: bid on an expansion franchise in Las Vegas. Currently, there's
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: also a plan for Vegas gold Knights owner Bill Fully
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to bid on the expansion team in Vegas as well
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the new one. The Las Vegas Jacks did not say
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: specifically whether they intend to construct a new arena or
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: if land has been acquired, but they say they quote
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: plan to play at Tea Mobile arena while their new
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: home is being built. So that does tell you they
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: want to build a building. Yeah, well, T mobile arena
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: is kind of run by bill fully, which is similar
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: with the situation is here, right, eight billion dollars, I
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: believe is about a billion more than what people are
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: throwing around like, you know, like billions, like it's nothing.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Well somewhere between six and ten billion. Yeah, well me again,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: emphasize it's a billion, b billion dollars. The difference between six, seven,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: eight nine is significant. We all know that.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, do you want this is what the stat that
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: always gets me. One million seconds is eleven and a
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: half days. Do you want to know what a billion
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: seconds is? Thirty one point seven years.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's a lot. So you're telling yourself,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I don't really Whatever happens to Vegas happens in Vegas
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent, right, I agree, I agree with you.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: My concern would be this, whereas I believe, I believe
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: just I believe that. The day that the One Roof
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Sports and Entertainment Group announced that Melinda French Gates is
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: now part of their organization, part of their ownership group
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: for the Kraken and obviously will be part of what
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: they're doing with the NBA. The second that happened her
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: in her thirty billion dollar portfolio. Some say it's a
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: little less at twenty eight billion, God forbid. The that
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: kind of ended any in my mind, in many many
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: people's minds, that ended any thought that there's going to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: be a competing bid here. It would have been hard anyway,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: because with one roof running the building and effectively owning
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the building, and you have to go through them, you
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: just don't want to do that as a secondary owner,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: a secondary tenant. But how does it affect Seattle. Well,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: here's what we know about the NBA. The NBA the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: one thing I think we all agree upon, Adam Silver specifically,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: they don't move very fast, and it always feels to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: me like if they can delay something, or procrastinate on
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: something or put it on the back burner, or they
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: have to do their due diligence, then they will. They've
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: made no bones about the fact that they want to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: get that European League up and going. At the same time,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: we're talking about having a deadline of basically by September
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: October November having to announce expansion. If we're going to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: begin playing twenty eight twenty nine. As Silver said, well,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: now if you have the water's muddied in Vegas, what
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: does that do here? Does that mean that we're going
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: to put expansion off for another year while we expand,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: while we explore all the expansion bids. Is this something
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: they can do over the next two months. It doesn't
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: feel like they move at a fast enough pace to
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: do that. My concern with the Vegas situation is this
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Bill Foley perfect. Let them bring a team there, maybe,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: especially if they suck and people, Oh, it's not that
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: easy to have an expansion team, Bill, unlike your hockey team.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: But Bill Foley, easy turnkey, Samantha Hallway easy turnkey with
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Milinda French Gates, done deal. But another team, another group
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: bidding on it. I would say my worry scale is
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: somewhere around a three or a four, but it's not
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: a zero in terms of making this a delay. I
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: don't like the water's being muddied. I don't like the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: opportunity or the thought that they're going to have the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: opportunity of the NBA to say, well, we're going to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: have to put a little hold on this for a minute.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Because we got to we got to check out and
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: see if we want to bring the Calandels back into
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the NBA. Now. I don't think at one time they were.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Jerry Colange was very powerful man in basketball in this country.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he still is. Kind of tend
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to doubt it. He's a basketball Hall of Famer. They
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: can't carry some weight, probably not what it used to.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Just let's just kind of keep an eye on what's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: going on in Vegas. I know you could come in
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: with thirty one teams. I get that. I don't think
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: there's much of an appetite for them to do. So.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: The Portland situation is what it is. I continues to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: be gross and disgusting down there. They don't know what
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: they're going to do. But this one, this one caught
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: my attention today. This one caught my attention. All right,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: tell your break, come back, Corben Smith. Let's get caught
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: up on what's going on. The seahawkss were? When is
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: it today? Is this eighth? Do the math for me anders?
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Twenty fifth, seventeen days away from training camp? I think
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: you are correct. Are we ready for that? No? No,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: but we'll talk to football ayway next.
• 36:12

• 37:13
  Speaker 1: We're twenty four hours later, we're gonna open up an
• 37:16

• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Corbyn Smith, here's Ian. Well, let me just mentioned I
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: mean July our June eleventh, the World Cup began. It's
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: been a huge deal here in this area. It's been awesome.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Everything going around it and surrounding has been fantastic. Can't
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: get I mean just the drama, the controversy, the celebrations
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: throughout our city and across North America. We've had that
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: tech taking place. Of course, when the heart of Mariner
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: baseball season, NHL Draft came and went drama with Shane
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Wright and others in the NHL Draft, with the crack
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and all this stuff somewhere out there, somewhere out there
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: in the back burner has been the NFL team they
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: have their mini camp in June, and then it was over,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and then we just kind of sat back and all
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: these other things came to the forefront. But as I
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: mentioned to Andrews Corbin just a few moments ago, we
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: are seventeen days away. That's less than three weeks away
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: from the started training camp at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I said, you know what, this might be a good
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: time to catch up with our friend Corbin Smith from
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Emerald City Spectrum. How are you, sir?
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I'm good.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me and who's counting as far as
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: training camp goes.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Have you settled into your house yet? Or you all
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: moved in, Andrew, or you moved in or we all
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: moved in. I got two guys on the phone that
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: are like, they're around here that are moving in? Are
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you energy?
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I got boxes still, but we're getting through it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: How about you, Corby?
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: I look, this has been one of those things where
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: like I feel like that seventh round developmental NFL prospect
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: that like, yeah, the progress is there, but it but
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: it isn't. At the same time, we've we've still we've
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: still got we've still got quite a few boxs, and
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: I'm trying. I'm trying, but I just can't seem to.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm on the roster bubble when it
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: comes to moving into a house.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you have got seventeen days to get it figured out, Fella, yeah,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: seventeen days. Yeah, you got seventeen days. Let's let's just
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: talk about I just caught my attention to Eues. I
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: go to Animal City Spectrum all the time. We guy,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: see what's going on. You get a whole bunch of
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: stuff up there that you've written in the last few days.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Even this one caught my attention though. Uh, you wrote
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a story on Jackson Smith and jigbut and and the
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: quote was there's a lot of work left to be done.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Was he not just the offensive player of the year?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: What work does this guy have to do?
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: That he wasn't perfect, you know, there there were a
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: few games that he didn't have quite as much production.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: There were a few plays that he probably feels he
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: could have made like that. That's just the way that
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: you know, the elite athletes are wired different than every
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: other human being is, And Jackson Smith and Jigba is
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: in that very select group there, there's always more to
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: chase after and look, the season he had was fantastic,
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: was one of the best ever.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: What are you gonna do for an encore?
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: And it's it's interesting.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: You know, I won't dive into all the numbers because
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: you can check out the article and everyone expect, but
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: it's interesting what history suggests for all the other receivers
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: that got to over seventeen hundred and fifty receiving yards
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: of the season, what they did the next year. It's
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: interesting looking at that dynamic in terms of what an
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: encore has typically looked like coming off a season, like.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Is there is there an expected drop off? I again,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: we want people to read the story, but is there
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: an expected drop off or not?
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Look, I'm gonna be really surprised if he gets to
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: that total. Again, just there's there's a lot of different
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: variables at play there.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: But there's never been a receiver.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's been one guy, Tyreek Hill head back
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: to back seasons of seventeen hundred yards with the Dolphins,
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: not that long ago, only a few years ago, So
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: you can get there. It is possible, But man, that
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: seven of the other eight nobody got above fourteen fifty
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: and that's still a really, really good season. It's just
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: I think when you consider that the fact that I'm
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: expecting Rashid shihe it is gonna be a lot more productive.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: You're hoping you're gonna have a healthy Tory Horton back
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: for the entire season, and he've got a j Barner.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like there's gonna be more distribution
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: in the passing game than we saw most of last year.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: That isn't just say that Jaysen Is is still gonna
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: be the one that's getting the bulk of the targets,
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: but I would expect that he's gonna have a little
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: smaller share.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: That's gonna impact his numbers overall.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Well. And I guess my question would be, so he
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: brought up the injuries to other guys and so forth,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: was his seventeen hundred yards? Was that out of necessity?
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Do you think?
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: I think there's there's something to that In terms of
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: especially the I would actually argue, you know, the first
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: half of the season where he really was going off,
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: even though they had Tory Horton making some numbers. I mean,
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Cooper Cup's first half was very underwhelming.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: Statistics wise, and you.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Know, they just felt like some of it was Sam Darnold, like, Hey,
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: this is the guy that's getting the job done. I'm
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: just gonna keep force feeding him. And some of it
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: was like, hey, the dude's wide open. Well, like the
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: teams kept trying to play him one on one and
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: that just was not working. And then teams finally started
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: to adapt a little bit. But then he started to
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: see more production from Cooper Cup.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: You know, Rashichihi didn't.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: Do a lot as a receiver in his half a
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: season in Seattle, but just his presence there, I think
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: that helped open things up a little bit for JSN
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: in the second half.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: But I think early on a lot of it was necessity.
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: Just and the fact that, you know, Sam Darneld just
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: for whatever reason, that chemistry just clicked. You don't see
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: that very often with qbs and receivers when they first
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: start working together, it usually takes a lot of time
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: and a lot of reps. These two guys like they
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: just started throwing to each other and say, hey, like,
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: we've been living together for the last ten years apparently
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: because we like we have telegraphic and telepathic relationship going
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: on here. And scary thing is I thought they looked
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: even better in mini camp and OTAs this summer.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Yet to remember it's just their second year together.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna say, andrews All, get asking this
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: question because I don't I ask about the the injuries
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: and as. Who was the second leading receiver for the
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Seahawks last season in terms of receptions?
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: M Okay, I'm gonna say, Oh, it's a tough one.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Is because I know it's gonna be a trick question here.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: I'm saying a J.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Barner, good job. Yes, fifty two receptions, five hundred and
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: nineteen yards. Cup was a third second leading receiver in
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: terms of yard with five ninety three. But Cormyn, I
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: think that's the key what you just said. Like JSN,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I think had to have the year he had in
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways. And no disrespect to AJ Barner,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I mean he had a really solid year, but Cup
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't that productive forty seven catches and then you drop
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: way down because Rashichi heat had fifteen, but he wasn't
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: here right until the end of the season. Betfactive after
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and then it's you know, thirteen from
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Horton Cody White had three. I mean, they didn't get
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of production out of that wide receiver position.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Outside of JSN.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: They did, and it didn't really match up with the
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: talent that they had at their position either.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: Though.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: Tory Horton made the most of his thirteen catches, five
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: of them being touchdowns and he was really coming on
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: and unfortunately before that shin injury ended up costing him
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: the entire second half and the playoffs. And I think
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: you are going to see a totally different Rashid Shaheed.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: We've already seen another practice.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: Field just having the time to build that chemistry with
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: Sam Darnold.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: That's how it usually goes.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: Isn't like Jasn We're just like, oh, hey, like did
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: we just become friends?
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Like step brothers here?
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: Like we're rolling right off the bat here. You know,
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: it doesn't typically work that way. So I expect Shaheed
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: is going to be a lot more productive. And I
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: think Brian Fleury's offense is gonna be very similar to
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: what kubiak ran and Shaheed had a lot of success
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: in that system. So I don't think that Jaysn is
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: going to have to shoulder so much at a load,
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: and that's not to say he's not gonna have a
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: great season.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: I just I think it's gonna be.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: You know, it's gonna be a challenge to get back
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: to that seventeen hundred plus yard mark just because of
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: the other players that they have.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Corman, Here's the thing that I think is you and
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I will have a lot of discussions, you know, the
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: week before training camp and then through training camp. I
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: think one of the storylines that you're gonna hear around
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the league is wow, I mean, look at the improvement
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: of the Rams, you know, and then the forty nine
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: ers added a couple of big weapons as well. I
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: think what you're telling us and what I've thought all along,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: like the Seahawks just by getting healthy Tory Horton, a
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Rashid Shihed for the entire season to go with JSN,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup now more comfortable in the offense. You just
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: said it, the numbers didn't reflect the talent. But now
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: if we look at all those those four guys, your
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: top four guys receiving wise, there could be some big
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: numbers being put up and it won't include seventeen from
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: seventeen hundred from JSN.
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, And I think I think you can look
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: at Seattle's entire roster, just the continuity that they've got.
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: I understand the Rams went out and made the moves
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: that they did, they're certainly better for it. And the
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: forty nine ers the moves they made, and some of
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: the injured players they've got coming back, like the forty
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: nine ers are going to be back at full strength.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: So both those teams are gonna be gunning for Seattle
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: looking to get back to the top of the division.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: But Seahwks have a lot of They just won a
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: With one of the youngest rosters in the NFL, like,
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: so many of these players are going to be better
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: And then you add in somebody. I mean, I'm very
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: bullish on Riley.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: I think Riley Mills, now fully healthy, got a little
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: bit of experience in the playoffs, we saw the Super
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: Bowl sack.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: That he had.
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: I just have a feeling that he's gonna be one
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: of those guys that steps into a much bigger role
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: that is going to make an already formidable defensive line
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: that much better. I mean, if they had lost a
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: bunch of players, I think the conversation would be different here.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: But like the band is back together for the most part.
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: They lost five free agents.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: The Eagles lost nineteen after winning the Super Bowl two
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: years ago. So I just I think a lot of
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: people it's weird saying people are sleeping on a super
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: Bowl team, but I feel like there are a lot
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: of people sleeping on the Seattle Seahawks.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Cormus Smith joining US Animal Cityspector Nimalcityspectrum dot com. I
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: love this description. When you did a great film backdown
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: of even Worry the do it all hybrid slot safety
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: unicorn who moonlights as an edge rusher as well as
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: an inside linebacker. What does he not do? What does
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: number three not do out there?
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: Well, he isn't going to be playing nose tackle that
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: I think that's the one person. I mean, I wouldn't
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: put it past him on passing downs to be a
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: stand up playing at the three tech position though, like
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: he he is as versatile.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Of a player as I have ever seen. Ian.
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: I'm not doing you know, I'm not diving in hyperboles
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: saying that, like how many guys can play slot, edge,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: inside linebacker. I think he can play deep safety. I
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: saw him do it at South Carolina. They just didn't
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: ask him to do it last year. Like how many
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: guys can do all of those things at a elite
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: or borderline elite level. He is one of one, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: watching the film just reminded me just how ridiculous he
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: was as a rookie. And we got to remember he
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: just turned twenty two years old too, so he's just
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: scratching the surface of what he's going to become playing
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: for Mike McDonald.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: He had two and a half sacks last season in
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the regulars. He didn't have one in the postseason, but
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: two and a half sacks in the regular season did
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: even worry. I'm really curious to see what he looks
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: like off the edge, like I think that's the part,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned and in the film's breakdown as well,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I want to see with this because I just think
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: that I think that's a massively dynamic part of his
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: game that Mike McDonald could scheme up and all of
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: a sudden, because we all know they did it by
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: committee last season. The pass rush was by committee. Nuoso
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: had seven sacks, Leonard Williams had seven, Murphy had seven,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: d Lawrence had six, and then everyone else had less
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: than four. On this team, like they really did it
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: by committee. But yet you think about it, they got
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: after the quarterbacks a lot. They had forty seven sacks.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: The opponents only had twenty seven last season. It's a
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: pretty good ratio. They did it by committee, but I
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: can see some numbers jumping up for number three.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just watching him on the practice field.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: I've mentioned this in a few articles, but he didn't
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: you know, if you didn't know who he was, and
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: with a single digit number, and that doesn't really change
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: things anymore because you know, Nuosu wears seven like a
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: lot of these guys now where those single digit numbers
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: at edge rush and he just did. He just didn't
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: look out of place at all, Like how many safeties
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: would you just say that about being in a group
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: with DeMarcus Lawrence, Like you see him next to DeMarcus Lawrence,
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: You're like, yep, he looks like he's an edd dresser,
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: and he's more out of place when you see him
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: with like the slot corners who all look like dwarves
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: next to him. But it's just, yeah, he I think
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: I'm I don't know if it's this year, but I
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: think Jamal Adams record that he broke with the Seahawks
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: in twenty twenty for sacks for a defensive back.
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: I think at some point in his career, Nicki min
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Warr is going.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: To break that record.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: I think he's that kind of a player in terms
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: of just dynamic playmaking ability.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Adams had nine and a half that year, So I
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: mean he that seems very red.
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: It's that guy like I could see I could see
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: like three or four years into his career where he
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: is playing a ton of edge and getting a lot
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: of opportunities to be able to do that, and he's
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: already made progress. Like I just I just feel like
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: he has way more that he can work with than
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: what even Jamal Adams had. Like he's got way more size,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: He's faster, I you know, he's got longer arms to
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: threaten tackles off the edge. I mean he can go
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: against those big tackles. Jamal Adams would just get engulfed
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: by those guys. His best was coming on blitzes. Even
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Worri doesn't have to be a blitzer, Like I think
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: you can play him as an edge on passing downs
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: and just let him pin his ears back and he
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: can play that position.
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: It's just it's remarkable. Like I said, he's the most
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: versatile player I've ever.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Seen, Cornus Smith joining US Emerald City Spectrum and Emermal
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Cityspectrum dot com. Let me kind of wrap it up
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: with this as we get ready for training camp. The
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: story there's like, you've got a million stories up there,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: and I would just go have people got Animalcityspectrum dot
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: comyn Little Seahawk fix. Korda's got a whole bunch of
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: stuff up there, so is nic Lee on the website.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: The one thing I'm going to be really curious about
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: UH is and we talked about the receivers. I think
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: there's some pretty heavy competition for the bottom end of
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: the receivers. The side of a great team is the
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: fact that they're worried about who their gunner is going
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: to be and there's competition for the gunner on the
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: punt team and kickoff team. Like, okay, that's that. That's
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: a pretty good sign of a good football team. I
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: really want to see the running back situation. I really
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: will see when Sharbonay is back. I want to see
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: what Price does. I think that's a big part of
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: this team. We saw last season there was I just
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: the weird splitting of the carries two hundred and twenty
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: one for Walker, one eight four for Scharbonay in the
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: in the in the regular season, Uh, Walker still goes
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: over a thousand. But I want to see what that
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: running back rotation looks like, especially with the first round
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: draft pick.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, a lot of people saw
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: our good friend Brady Henderson's report about the buy committee approach. Yeah,
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: and I don't take that as a negative. Like I
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: think a lot of fans are like, oh my gosh,
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: first round pick. He should be he should be getting
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: eighty five percent of the carries. But like, that is
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: not how Mike McDonald does things like that. That's not
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: what he wants. He wants his top running back to
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: be in that sixty to sixty five percent threshold, and
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: he wants to have another guy that isn't far behind.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: Because it's just it's a position with so much attrition.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: You want to make sure you can keep guys healthy,
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: and you you just have to have I think in
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: today's NFL you've got to have two really good running
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: backs on your roster minimum. But I think Price will
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: eventually be the guy that is gonna be the clear
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: lead dog, but I'm expecting.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: I still think it's gonna be George Hallane.
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: I think George Halane's gonna be the other one that's
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: gonna get a lot of snaps just because he's got a.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: More well rounded game.
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: Right now, we don't know what jennariing Price is gonna
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: do with pass protection stuff, his receiving skills. I think
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: he's a solid receiver, but I understand the questions on
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: that front because he didn't have very many opportunities at
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame. George Halane is a proven pass catcher, he's
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: a proven pass protector, and.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: Without Zach shar Look, I know he's ahead of schedule.
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: I'll be shocked if Shargon's back before like week five
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: or week six, though I would be shocked if he's
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: back before then.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: They're gonna have to roll with those two. And I
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: think Emmanuel Wilson will be the guy that can be that.
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: Change of pace thumper, downhill back that that actually has
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: a little bit of He's got a little bit.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: Of burst to him for a two hundred and thirty pounder.
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: And it definitely wasn't watching Eddie Lacy in the Seahawks uniform.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: Let's put it that way, it's it was a big
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: guy that can actually run and looks like he's in shape.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: So I think they've got a good situation there.
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: I'll be interested to see if Kenny mackintosh is gonna
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: be healthy enough to go at the beginning of camp.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: But he's in a challenging spot now with all the
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: names that I just listed there, coming off of an
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: injury himself, and Jaccarti writes another player that has some
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: intrigues still to him. But I think this is gonna
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: be mostly the price in Hallani show.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: When it's all said and done, Andrew, you go something. Yeah.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I just want to say, anyone out there looking for
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: love finds someone who loves you as much as Corbyn
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Smith loves George.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Do you love yourself?
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Does tell you somebody that likes it more than me?
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I know that's true, That is true, and that's weird.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: You guys have to do a podcast together, if I'm
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: not mistaken. Is it just the George Hallani podcast? It is?
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: It's it's called the ha It's called the podcast of
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the Hawne Podcast with Rob and Corbyn. So no, it's funny.
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: Because we've actually we've kind of made fun of each
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: other about that over the uh you know. It's the
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: thing is like George Hallane held off like Ashi a
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: Jinky was not a full time starter till his last
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: year on campus because George Halani was too productive to
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: take out of the lineup. Like I just think I
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: don't think he's a NFL starting running back, but I
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: think I think he can be that number two guy
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: and play well. And he does a lot of he
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: does a lot of the dirty work.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: So I don't consider it. You know, I don't. There's
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: some bias here, guys. I'm a Boise State fan.
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: Of course there's some bias here, but I I I
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: really think he is just I think he's a rock
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: solid back.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Let's just put it.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: I think the interesting thing about that is we'll talk
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: more as we get closer, Camp. I think what you
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: said there is important. Like they are going to manage
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: It's not a Mariner six man bullpen or rotation rather,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: but they are going to manage. They are going to
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: manage innings so to speak. Or carries with this with
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: this group of running backs, because we saw what happened right,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Like it's a guy goes down, you better have death.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Everybody better have depth of that position. And if you
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: do have a lead dog and they do, you don't
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: drop a guy in the first round if you don't
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: think you got a lead guy, but you better make
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: sure you got some depth in that position. And uh,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: and guys that can do different things. Like you said,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: pass blocking is a big part of what they want
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: to do. Pass catching, although boy, they sure did focusing
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: on that with Price, did they not? In Mini camp
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and OTAs like like like they made they made a
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: point of saying this dude can catch the ball. Like
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: every time I wandered out there, I'm like, oh, there's
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: another pass in the running back. There's another pass like there,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: And he looked fine. I mean, it's not in a
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: game situation, but it's not like we saw dudes. It's
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: mini camp and it's ota is wee dudes drop balls?
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: He didn't drop balls.
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think the other thing that I mean, really,
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: the pass protection is the only question that we really
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: really have that we haven't gotten. You're not gonna know
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: that until they're actually in pads and he's got a
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: linebacker barreling down on him.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: He's gonna try to block him.
• 57:17

  Speaker 1: to saile Bill on its World Cup momentum. Chris, I
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: spent some time in the first hour of the show
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: today saying, my big thing is I just don't want
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: us to lose what we just had for the last
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: three weeks. I know that's probably impossible, but when I
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: say that, it's it's not so much the five hundred
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: thousand people downtown and restaurants being over sold and packed
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: and all that. I just don't We were proud of
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: our city, you know, we were proud of the area.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: People got along. You know, Seattle's taken a lot of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: hits over the last few years, and probably well deserved
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: at times. Before we get into the sports aspect of it.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: I just was proud to be someone that grew up
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: in this city and came back to work in this city.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: How about you just the perception of what the city
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: was over the last few weeks.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 7: I think all the feedback I've had, whether I was
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: marching with the twenty five thousand people on Monday or
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 7: talking to people outside the stadium, the reviews of Seattle
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: have one hundred percent been positive and people talking about
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: that sense of pride. There's a woman I met, Robin
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: from Missoqua, who's lived here for decades. She came down
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 7: to downtown Seattle just to participate in the march and said,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: this shows how this community can come together and everybody's
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 7: so happy. You kept hearing that word as well. You'd
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 7: watch people, even coming out of the defeat of the
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 7: US team on Monday, American fans walking up to Belgium
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: fans saying thank you for coming. I hope it's been
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: a good experience. So all those little things happening during
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: the course of three weeks, it was unlike anything that
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: I've seen in the years before that. It was truly,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: I think, a unique time in Seattle. It was a
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 7: rallying point for Seattle to get stuff done, for the
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: region to get stuff done. And I hope people had
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 7: a moment to just even look around at the city
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: and appreciate how special and unique this was, because it
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: did not feel like any other event that I've covered
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: or experienced here in Seattle.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: You're you're the reporter that covers the city itself, not
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: just the sports aspect of the city itself. So I'll
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: ask you this you've heard. I'm sure you've heard the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: same thing. I hear it all the time. I see
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: it on our text line and on sports station. It's like, yeah,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: still look great. Now. I guess they're gonna ship all
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: the all the drug addicts and the homeless and everybody.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: The Winnebagos are all going to come back inside the city.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: The city looks spectacular. Can the city still look spectacular?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Can it still be that over the next however long?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 7: I mean that's the challenge moving forward. And I think
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 7: you know, part of this whole story with the World
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: Cup is that it was a point in time that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: was a rallying point for stuff to get done. So
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: think about this. The Sound Transit, Cross Lake light rail
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 7: six years overdue, Dal Constantine and that Sound Transit Board
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 7: new it better be done in time for the World Cup.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: The Waterfront redevelopment. Part of that timeline was making sure
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 7: it was done in time for the World Cup to
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 7: host events on the water the parks that open to
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 7: the north that were funded in large part by Melinda
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: Gates and Mackenzie Scott. That was done and the plans
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: were put in place to get it done in time
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: for the World Cup. So so many things were planned
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 7: around this and parts of the city being cleaned up
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: planned around this moment in time, What is the next
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: event that is going to prompt that? And that's the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: challenge I think going forward for the city. I don't
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: think it's going to revert to what it was a
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: month ago, and I see those same social media posts,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: but I think that this was an example for a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: lot of people in this city, in and outside government
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: to say, look what can happen when people come together
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 7: for a civic event like this one. And that's gonna
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 7: be the challenge. Peter Thomas, ala CEO of the Local
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 7: Organizing Committee, suggested there will be an enthusiasm hangover. People
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 7: are going to look around in another week and go Okay, now,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: what do we get excited about. I think that these
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: are there are going to be challenges going forward. But boy,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: if you could just put this last month, so to speak,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 7: in a time capsule so everybody could have a chance
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 7: to look at it, and it would be good for
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: everybody to ball.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Chris Daniels joining us here on the b Componing hotline
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: from Coomo News. You know, I wish the Mariners were home.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: I wish they weren't on the road, and I wish
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game wasn't coming up, because you know,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: it'd be nice to have a little baseball momentum, you know,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: like you just talked about down in that area. I'm
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: the king of mass transit now. By the way, Chris,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. I took the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: light rail from the Bellevue South station into Seattle for
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: the first time on Monday. It was spectacular, It was easy,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: it was it was really good and helped going against
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: the grain a little bit. But yeah, I mean what
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: they did with that is phenomenal. The waterfront, I think
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: is just I mean, I'm just growing up and thinking
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: about the waterfront. We've always had this waterfront, or we've
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: all kind of thought, God, why can't we have like
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: a really cool walk?
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: Now we do?
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Now we do, and it's and that's not going away.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: The question, I guess would be what is next? You
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: wrote about a little bit, you talked about it. There
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: are some events coming up, Women's World Cup, rugby, maybe
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: an NFL draft, all those things. Nothing will be on
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: the scale that we just saw. But what should this
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: city be really going after as far as the next
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: big event, Well, I think it is gonna be the
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Women's World Cup. That'll that'll be finalized here by FIFA
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: later on this year. I believe November. I could be
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: off on the date, but later on this year, and
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: then it's gonna be a matter of which host cities.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: I think that you know, whether it's Peter Tomasawa or
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Beth Knox at the Seattle Sports Commission, others believe that
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: this whole event puts Seattle higher up the pecking order.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: I think we've seen people from outside Seattle, national writers,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: international writers talk about how great that experience was at
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Lumenfield or dare I say Seattle Stadium as FIFA wants
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: us to call it. Yes, that it's going to put
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Seattle further up, maybe ahead of a Kansas city, maybe
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: get a semi final, or boy be nice to have
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: a final in the Women's World Cup. I mean, that's
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: gonna be That's gonna be the next big event that
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: brings people to Seattle from around the world, presuming that
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Seattle is going to be one of the host cities.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: Rugby World Cup. Same thing in twenty thirty one, and
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 7: I think Beth Knox will will take those visuals from
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 7: the waterfront during this event and show them to the
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 7: NFL and say, this is how we can stage the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: NFL Draft on the water with the space Needle or
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: on Lake Union. I think all of those visuals that
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 7: everybody just saw across America would look amazing for an
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: NFL draft, and I know they'd like to host one
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 7: here in Seattle. So I think that could be one
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: that potentially could be done before twenty thirty one, if
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: Seattle can win a bid, and of course I think
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: looking further or closer, I guess on the calendar. I
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: think it's gonna be fun for people if the NBA
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 7: decides to expand to Seattle later on this year, and
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: there might be some spontaneous fans celebrations in the streets
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 7: or that will be put together that would also involve
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 7: several thousand people if and when we have a final
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: act on that story later this.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, and I think we are going to
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: get to that at some point later on this year
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: as well. Christiane's with us before I let you go. Yeah,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: it's interesting. I think the first time you and I
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: met in person for some we started talking is when
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: we had spontaneous rallies down at a courthouse and Pioneer
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Square Save our Sonics, that type of stuff. And when
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: that does happen, I dare say, we'll have a celebration
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: that will be something else and I can't wait for that.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up with this. I know he kind
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: of walked it back, but you know, famously, former city
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Councilman Nicolocotta talked about no cultural value or close to
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: zero cultural value for sports and other things, and we've
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: had other council members of the years talk about and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: try to quote different numbers saying, well, there's no economic
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: impact for sports. You did the story. I think we
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: just talked about the cultural impact. We saw it. We
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: saw it when we're doing shows down to Jimmy's on
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: first and Belgium fans hanging out with USA fans and
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: people from all across the world. There was a cultural value.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: There was a coming together, a common grounded community really,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: so to speak. What about financially, I know not everyone
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: did well. I know the international district wasn't happy. But boy,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: walking around downtown hard to find a place to go
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: grab a pint or a bite to eat and stuff,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: it looks like there was plenty of economic value to this.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 7: World Cup well, and I will tell you yes, the
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 7: answer is yes. Down in Pioneer Square, I interviewed the
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 7: owner of a small wine shop. This was now after
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: the first USA match that the week that followed after
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: the juneteenth match, and asked him about the impact and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: he told me yes, day on record during the USA
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: Australia match, and it was four times as busy as
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: his previous busiest day on record, which.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 8: Was the.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: We just lost Chris. Let me give it, yeah quick back,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: let go, let's get him back real quick. Let's do that,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: because I want to get back to that. I think
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: that's an important part of this story as well, because
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: it was and I can tell you that, you know,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this before we talked to I
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: talked to my guy from Twin Peaks, Brad, who does
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of work with Softy in our station big
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: sponsor a golf tournament, and he talked about how they
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: had their best day ever. Chris, I was just saying,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: what we lost you, I'll let you finish your second
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: that even down in tuck Willa, my friend Brad who
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: runs Twin Peaks owns Twin Peaks down there, they've had
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: some of their best days ever. And not even within
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: the US Games with Mexico and other games as well.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: But you were saying a small wine shop had a
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: great day. Yeah.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: He said his busiest day on record was the June
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 7: nineteenth game US Australia and it was four times as
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: busy as his previous busiest day on record, which was
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: the Taylor Swift Blue Jays weekend back in twenty twenty three.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 7: And we heard that from Peter Thomas Awa as well,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 7: and the Downtown Seattle Association and Visit Seattle. Visit Seattle
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: said it was the highest revenue day the eighteenth for
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 7: hotels and motels in the region than the previous busiest
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 7: day on record, which was that Taylor Swift weekend. So
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 7: that gives you an idea of just the economic impact
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: from that one game. And Peter Thomas Away said this
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 7: is gonna be like six Super Bowls. So you get
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: the idea that that many people came to town to
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 7: not only from around the world but regionally, just to
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 7: soak up the atmosphere, even if they didn't have tickets
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: or watch it on the big screen. At Occidental Park
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 7: and that small wine shops right by Occidental Park, the
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: owner also told me this month and again this is
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 7: now a couple of weeks ago, he said this month
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 7: will likely save multiple businesses in Pioneer Square because of
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 7: the amount of foot traffic that is coming through there
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 7: and and people that are spending money to watch games,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 7: even on the big screen. Uh So, I mean it's
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 7: been that kind of event, uh, a communal event where
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 7: everybody is happy. People some way matches coming to die
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 7: Apple experience.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: The all right, that's Christians, We'll let him, We'll let
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: him go. Andrews I was the phone started cutting out again,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: but you get the point. That was just an absolutely phenomenal,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean a phenomenal uh success having the World Cup
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: here and there's a great, great point Chris made about
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: it's like having six Super Bowls, like that's insane, and

  Speaker 1: But i'm i'm here for the drama Here and i'm
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be it back into just a bigger topic in.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: A second but allegedly the best player FOR the Us Was,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: christian polistic or should. Have been he wasn't a lot
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: of criticism. For him then there's a whole lot, of
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: criticism which we'll get to in, a minute about the
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: system in. Our country and it's not, just soccer it's
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: other sports. AS well I heard Greg and jess talking
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: about it again TODAY and i kind of want to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: have a final word on that before we move on
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: to the rest of. The summer so before we get
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: to all, of that what do? We got so we
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: got a COUPLE former us men's national team players.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: With different Perspectives On, christian polistic different Relationships With christian POLISTIC.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Because i think of him AS and i don't like,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: the Term but i'm gonna use it for HIM because
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: i think it applies as a soft player asked out of.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: A game soft player didn't perform in the, highest levels
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: didn't perform in the biggest of stages and let his
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: team and his. COUNTRY down i just there's something wrong
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: with what this guy should have. Been, better yeah like
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: you're gonna, make mistakes you're going to some times the other.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Team's better that, can happen the other team can. Be
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: BETTER but i just didn't see. Any compete just never
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: never saw a compete with. This guy so who do
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: you want to?
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: Hear?
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: From first let's Start With, tata twellman who has a
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: positive Relationship With christian polistic is still close, to him
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: and still this is what he said Earlier On Pardon
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: My take barstool about, you know his performance At The.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 9: World, CUP listen i was There when CHRISTIAN was i
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 9: called this, FIRST game i was introduced. To him i've
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 9: gotten to. Know him failing to qualify for the Twenty
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 9: Eighteen world cup Really Hurt, christian POLISIC and i think
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 9: that has changed the trajectory of him with the. National
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 9: team you will never hear me say that he doesn't
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: care playing For, The red White.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: AND blue i know.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 9: He does the problem is he doesn't want to be, that,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 9: guy right. He doesn't he thrives when he's your third
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 9: Attacker from milan and then he's one of. The best
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 9: right we're not talking about is none of us can
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: be Surprised that polistic had A Bad world cup When
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 9: from january first to the Beginning Of world cup camp
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 9: he had zero goal contributions after six months where He'd
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 9: led syrian. Gold contributions that is one hundred and eighty.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 9: Degrees difference that is black. And white that is. Completely
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 9: OPPOSITE so i don't know. What happened we know publicly
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 9: that he broke up with his. LONGTIME girlfriend i don't
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 9: know if, That's it if personally he's going, through something
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 9: if he's Tangling WITH do i go Back to England
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 9: because Tottenham And manchester united and these teams. Are SNIFFING
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 9: do i GO to mls because THERE'S three mls teams
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 9: that are willing off from sixty seventy million to.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Go BACK so i.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 9: Don't know but the last six Months For, christian polisic
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 9: we're opposite Of what balligan was and so coming Into
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 9: The WORLD cup i Thought the senegal game would just
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 9: bring it back to him and it would come and
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 9: the injury In the paraguay game really scared it looked
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 9: like it. Scared him it did didn't it like it
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 9: just looked like he lost his mojo because at forty
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 9: five Minutes against paraguay he was.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: Really, good yeah. He was he was creating every time
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: he touched.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 9: The ball he was. Unbelievably good even without, the ball
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 9: his runs. Were, awesome yeah this. One's weird, it's weird
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 9: and he's going to have to ask and deal.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: With that.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to COMMENT till i hear the. Next
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: one so who's the? Next one next One's.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: LANDING donovan i think a little bit more of a
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: one to one comparison For Who christian posik Was because
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: twelman was never like the guy on the national Team right,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: donovan was so he can kind of speak to what
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: it's like in, those shoes and he does.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 10: RIGHT here I believe i am, uniquely qualified the only
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 10: person probably who's been in. His shoes the level of
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 10: which he is dealing with this is much greater than
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: THE level i dealt with because this was two thousand
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 10: and six, for me not many people were, paying attention
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 10: it was not A Home, world cup social media, Didn't
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 10: exist so this is exacerbated by A time i have
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 10: been in. His Shoes Horrible, world cup completely let the
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 10: team down is getting criticized for the, first time not
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 10: to the extent. HE is i know the feeling that
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 10: the feeling, is IDENTICAL and i would just. Say this
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 10: it led me. To therapy it led me to take
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 10: a look at my life and my career honestly for the.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 10: First time it allowed me to, have massive important conversations
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 10: WITH people i love in my life about, all things not,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 10: just soccer and it changed my life forever for in a.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 10: POSITIVE way i don't Know If christian will cares, about
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 10: that wants to do. All that we don't have a great.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 10: Relationship now i'm sure he doesn't, like me doesn't. Respect
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 10: me i'm saying this, To, you christian you probably. Don't
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 10: listen this is an opportunity to help and to change your.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 10: Life forever one of the. BIGGEST problems i speak to
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 10: people who are at. US soccer i speak to, HIS
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 10: sponsors i speak to, HIS teammates i speak to the
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 10: staff and. The coaches people are vet up with the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 10: way things are handled, around him and it's not, necessarily
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 10: him but it's, his agents, his family his hangers on
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 10: that people. Are influencing people are fed up. With it
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 10: they treat you, people poorly they do. Things poorly it's always.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 10: A no whenever you want to ask can we do?
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 10: An interview Can we it's always. A no you can't get.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 10: Near him he doesn't say hi to the commentators who
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 10: do all the games all the time when they. Walk
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 10: by all the other guys come over and shake hands and.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 10: Say hello there's just this sense about him that like
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 10: you can't get.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: Near him it's.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 10: Too BIG and i actually don't think it's. FROM him
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 10: i think it's from the people. Around him they interesting
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 10: so in two.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: Different ways just something around or like he's just not?
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: Right right would you take?
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: FROM it I think twelman kind of said what a
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: lot of people have seen is that he doesn't want
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: to be, the, Guy RIGHT and i think that was very,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: much Apparent and donovan basically said kind of laid out
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: as to why that. Could be why he doesn't want
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: to be, the guy because for, whatever reason he doesn't
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: want to be the face, of everything even though he's
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: in a bunch. OF commercials i think that's more just
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: for his own personal marketing more than. Anything ELSE but
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: I Think landon donovan laid it out really really. Well
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: There and i'm not always A Huge landon, donovan fan
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: BUT lately i think he's been really good with kind of,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: looking back and he talked about how he had a
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: similar situation where he performed poorly at the two thousand
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: And Six, world cup and it's even bigger now because
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: the team has higher expectations than they. Ever have so,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: FOR me I just i know that the quality. Is
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: There For, Christian poolsik i've actually always been a defender.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: OF his i don't know what he's, like PERSONALLY so
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: i can't really speak. To that but Knowing What landon
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: donovan just, laid out it reminded me of specifically Of a,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: seattle Athlete and, i'm wondering if you draw those Same
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: comparisons god Per former, SEATTLE athlete i Should.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Say, russ yeah Except for russ wanted to be.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: The, guy yeah, that's true almost. Too much.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: That's the Dear like russ wanted.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: To be but the whole, entourage stuff.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: The entourage that part, Of, it YES because I Think
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: russell wilson's career in a lot of ways was ruined
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: because of what was. AROUND him i think his HIS
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: path i Think, for russ his path To the Hall
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: of fame was was derailed by everything. AROUND him I
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: just i'm really hesitant to, say THIS but i. THINK
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: it i think IT'S just i think we all can.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: SEE it i think the second marriage and and the
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: rock the pop star aura that he wanted to, be
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: around and PART of i think that he took his
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: eyes off off the focus of on the field it
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: became And The. HANGARS honor, i, MEAN god i saw
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: that up close and personal, for years and they took
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: over whole, hotel floors almost on, the road multiple nannies
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: and assistance and security and. ALL that, i mean it
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: was just. Too much HE'S an. Nfl quarterback no one's ever.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: Had THAT.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: So, i, think yeah so that part, Of, It yeah
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: andrews that part. OF it i can see that part.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: OF it i Can see russ wanted to be the,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: guy Though like russ wanted to be. The GUY but
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: I and i Don't think russ ever really truly lost.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: HIS compete i think he lost his focus in his
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: way somewhere along. The way, THIS guy, i mean he's
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: he's a. Homegrown player he's Born. In, pennsylvania yeah, you
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: know it's it's, you know they Called Him captain america and.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: All that THE thing i have a problem with With
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: with polisic as we make all these rash judgments now
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: about youth sports in, our country not, just soccer is
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: this is a guy that had those opportunities and, he
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: played he grew, up here but he didn't want to be. The,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: GUY well i frankly don't want a guy on my
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: team that doesn't want to be the guy at, That
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: LEVEL like i, really DON'T like i would that guy
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: can be on. The bench that guy should be on,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: the bench that guy should be, all right are you?
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: Really okay time? TO compete, i mean because, If not
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: i'll find a guy. That can't, you know there's eleven
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: players in. The field and, you know one of THE
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: things i heard earlier is on the, earlier SHOW and
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: I thought Jess and greg did a great job talking.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: About this talk about, like, athletes right and we hear
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: this all the time in, our country the best athletes
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: in the country don't. Play SOCCER and i thought that
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: was an. INTERESTING comment i think it's an interesting kind
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: of generalization, at times the best athlete doesn't. Play, soccer well,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: YOU know i think It was greg that brought up the,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: best athlete the best soccer player in. The world if
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: it's let's just say it's messy for, Argument's sake he's
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: not the best athlete by any.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: Mean, god no it's all.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: About skill the best athlete in the world is not
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: ON The. Pga tour it's, skill, set yes but also.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: It's compete do you want to compete at the. Highest
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: level every sport has try, Hard guy and a lot,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: of times a lot of coaches will tell you they'd
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: rather have try. Hard guy they want try. Hard guy
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: they want a guy that's going to compete his ass
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: off or her ass off like they. Want that they
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: want try. Hard person they don't want someone that's uber
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: talented but doesn't want to try. Or compete. You KNOW
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: and i think you know one of the things that
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: that we make, these masks, these generalizations because part of
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: it is we got to develop our, own players got
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: to develop. Him here we want, homegrown guys not Players
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: like balligan that was born here but grew, up elsewhere
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: or whoever it might, have competed. HE competed i just
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: want the. Best players and if we make these rash
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: judgments about, YOUTH sports i would just always point to
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: other sports besides soccer, and, say okay almost all every
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: sport is a pay to, play thing and most other
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: every all of our, other sports for the, most part
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: our guys are homegrown and they want to compete for.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: The country and if he didn't want to compete for, The.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: Country poachatino probably he probably knew that better. Than anybody
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: but what do you do if you're in, His position
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: you gotta throw him.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: Out there you gotta put your best player on, the,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: field right you.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: Gotta throw him. Out there but this is a guy
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: that was homegrown and he doesn't want. To compete that's
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: a that's. That's hard. That's so so if your best
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: player is far from your, BEST player, i, mean god they're,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: they're well he was great for a half. They played
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: they played twenty halfs, of soccer so he was good for,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: one half one twentieth of. The, time, Yeah super I'll
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: take i'll take the lesser player all day and. EVERY
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: day i know, he's OLDER and, i went just, for
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: example Give Me jordan morris, over him, you know give.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: ME health i just saw what's, His Face jackson. Haagen's
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: right reagan just got named To The all star team RIGHT. For,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: mls yeah there was talk about him Making the olympics
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: or Making The world. Cup team he was a long
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: chap and there like he was in that conversation at the, Very,
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: END well i would take him over the guy that
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: was the captain at center back who.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Doesn't compete absolutely Would Take jackson Reagan Or tim read.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: All.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: DAY yeah i think soccer is very political in. This,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: COUNTRY yes i think, more so even than any. Other sport. Very,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: POLITICAL now i Thought The World baseball classic. GOT political
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: I thought dodger ketcher pitch Playing. Over cal i'd fight
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Through a cal slump In The World baseball classic, because
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: maybe just maybe he'll run into, a, Couple RIGHT and
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: I think I Think cal's i'll make. AN argument I
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: think cal's been screwed up by that as much. As
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: anything like they just sucked the life and the confidence
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: out of. That guy and why Was it like if
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: it Was A will, smith, right, yes yea if he
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: played For, the whites would he have really Been? Over
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: cal probably not one. Hundred percent. It's political youth sports,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Are political bigger sports. ARE political ussf is. REALLY political
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: i say. SOCCER federals i mean. THAT'S it i don't
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: think the problem in our country necessarily is something that's
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: existed since. Day one that problem being you sports. ARE
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: expensive i think the problem is inherently in, these organizations
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: and in THIS Case, us soccer you've got to do
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: a better job of finding guys that want. To compete
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter where, they're from. Doesn't matter as well as they,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: have said this chip doesn't matter, where're from don't matter
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: who they, play for like, Have true, Like well don
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: made the team because it competes his. Ass off he
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to get on. The field and
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: we'll find out later if he was how much he
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: was hurt and all. That stuff but, he Competes like.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Christian competes that guy's out there that. Weren't competing that's.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: A problem that's not you sports aren't. Too expensive that's
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: now if you want to go down the road, up well,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: you know youth sports are really expensive, and guys don't,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: you know you get some some kids that are soft
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: and they've got, you know silver spoons and. All that
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: i'm not going to dance with you. There either our
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: hockey team Just won olympic gold and they're, political too
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: but they compete their assos. They DO like i don't

• 1:32:28

• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: Of them that was just the gut punch of that
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: was you you have A typical brian wu. Road, performance,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: Yes Sorry joe shean? Who has would you consider it?
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: An apology what would? You SAY because i don't know
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: if you heard my Saying with joe yesterday he said. It's,
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: noise okay, BUT backstep i. Would say so He. Texted
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: anders he, texted me he, was like this is not helping.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: My case didn't, text me by, the way. TEXTED you
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: i heard.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 12: The segment he called, it NOISE and i, was, LIKE
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 12: okay i went.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: AND didn't i went and did.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 12: The digging and all of his other years it's been
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 12: almost exactly one run better at home than on.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: The Road ok so that. Is reasonable well makes sense,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: because ballpark. That's reasonable that you're a three r a
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: at home in a. Four yard joe's thing is there's
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: not a large. Enough sample that's his. Big thing that's his,
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: big thing and he started. Baseball perspectus he knows the
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: nerd numbers better than but the eye task tells me
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: as well as the numbers for The nine now ten,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: starts right ten starts on. THE road i think it
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: is that he's not good on the road and last
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: night he gave up nine hits and or what a?
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: Ten hits nine ten hits.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 12: And that can, Get, mental yeah not, Get mental but
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 12: all you need to dig out of it is one
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 12: or two good. Road STARTS and i would say the
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 12: most likely Scenario For brian wu the rest of the
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 12: way is him being not as good at home and
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 12: not as bad on. The road so when you end,
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 12: the season he's like a two eight at home and
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 12: like a four to five on.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: The, roads, yeah well to get to four or, five
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: now he's gonna have to be basically no hitters rest
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: away on. The road, that's like that's Like if col's
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: gonna hit two hundred, this year he's gonna hit have
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: to hit five hundred the rest of. The season, SO oh,
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: i yeah here's the other way you dig out. Of
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: it when you have a four to, nothing deficit you
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: come back and take a five, four lead. Don't, lose
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: yes and you feel we're not even Talking about brian.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 12: COME back i mean they could have scored ten RUNS
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 12: in i think for as many base runners as they
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 12: left all.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: Over them naylor with the running into the guy and
• 1:49:02
