• 0:31
  Speaker 2: touch in on that a little bit later because just

  Speaker 2: some impressions from OTA's where I was at yesterday for
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks as well National Hockey League Stanley Cup playoffs,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Vegas has booked its trip to the Stanley Cup Finals.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: They swept the Colorado Avalanche and as you had that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: right on your Bengo card, happening not just to win,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: but to sweep as well. Wow.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Never seen a team fall so flat when it mattered
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: most like the Colorado Avalanche.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: There was a really good fun error.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that was an O or I s of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: an O on shots on goal. Yeah, you can do
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the you can surmise what it said there. Yeah that
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I would never call hockey players soft, but they did
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: not play hard. Let's just say that they looked like
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: they gave up. It looks good fighting. Kevin Shockey's out.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming, Carolina, Montreal, Carolina Leed's that series two
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: games to one. Game four is tonight's in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Hey, NFL,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: this is a horrible story. Green Bay Packers running back
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs was released from jail Wednesday. Why was he
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: in jail? He was arrested on several domestic violence charges. WHOA,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: We'll see how the NFL handles this. They really are
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: pretty hard on things like gambling stuff like that. Let's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: see how they handle this one with a star player
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: for a marquee team.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: It always depends on how good you.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Are sometimes, boy, if that's the case, sad but true.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, you see it all the time.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: We'll get into this later today. A group of US
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: senators introduced bypartisan college sports bill proposed as salary cap
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: transfer limit to college sports. Those two senators, Republican Ted
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Cruz teaming up with Washington Democrat Maria Cantwell, you want
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to say strange bedfellows in the world of politics, that's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it right there, Like you could not go more poor
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: opposite of those two. That's how broken college sports are.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: That's how I agree on, idiot, that's how broken college let's.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Going to bring this country together?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's what will bring the country together. College sports
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: broken college athletics are. We'll getting that a little bit
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: later on as well. As mentioned though, Mariners take it
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on the athletics of Sacramento on their way to Las Vegas.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's the battle for first place, but there's a lot
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to discuss. Let's head to Sacramento right now. Get a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: little preview of this afternoon's game from MLB dot Com.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: We haven't had him on this show for a long time.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Daniel Kramer joined us right now. Daniel, How are you
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: how things in West Sacramento.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I'm doing good in just here in lovely Sacramento and
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: gearing up for this series finale and thankful that we
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: can kind of get out of here and get to
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: an off day tomorrow and then before a big home
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: stand against the Diamond Back.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you get get out of West Sacramento early
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: today with the early game along the way. What's the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: difference between West Sacramento and Sacramento by the way, For
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: those of us that are not familiar everything all the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: byelines say West Sacramento, is there a big difference.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: I think it's just the river that separates the downtown
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: core and the actual area over here, because it's pretty close.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's walking distance from the hotel.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: But it's a small little town and you know, a
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: fun little town as well. Ballpark is pretty minor league
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: as you would expect, but you know, we're making the
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: most of it with what we get.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: What we got you guys, some great stuff at MLB
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: dot com with the Mariners. Will get to piggyback and communication.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Great story run on that folks can go check out
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: in a second as we get ready for first pitch
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: here in a little bit down in West Sacramento. Let
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: me first of all, I think you said you might
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: have an update, at least a little bit of an
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: update on cal Raley. What's going on?
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So Cal's began with his very light baseball activity
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: on Monday during Memorial Day. He remains in Arizona. He's
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: been playing catch now, which is the first steps towards
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: getting back on the field, and the next steps of
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: progression will obviously be swinging your bat, seeing some live
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: pitching down there, and then beginning a minor league rehab assignment,
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: which at this grade, given how long he's been sidelined
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: and you know the struggles that he went through before
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: he hit the shelf, would anticipate that being at least
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: a few games at an affiliate most likely to came,
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: but also he could potentially go up to Everett as well.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: The Mariners will get through tomorrow's off day, get back
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: to Seattle and kind of assessed with their athletic training staff,
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: checking with Cal see how he's doing, and then they'll
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: have a little bit more of a formal update on
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: on where things stand with him and when he could
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: potentially begin that rehab assignment. Sounds like he's been checking
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: all the boxes that they want and that the timeline
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: has been pretty aligned with what they anticipated. You know, obviously,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: an oblique injury is painful, especially for a switch hitter
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: and a guy who plays the sports most demanding position,
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: and because that you know, the situation where he tried
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: to play through it and ultimately was shut down. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: think they really want to ensure that this is completely
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: calmed down, pain free, and that he can go back
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: out there and you know, take on the workload that
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: we've been accustomed to seeing for the past few years.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: So would anticipate at least, you know, a few more
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: weeks on cal but all the reports of in gettings
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: that he's hitting all but the benchmarks in the timeline
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: that they've dissipated.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Danie, You've kind of touched on it there for a second. Yeah,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that they hit the timeline they anticipated. But I'm asking
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I am curious because it took forever. It's not forever
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: in baseball terms and sportsms. It took a while for
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: them to actually put him on the injured list, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you know, it was a short term injured list, so
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: whatever the internal battle was whether or not they do
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: it or not. But now he's been out for a while.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask if it's longer than anticipated,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But how would you characterize this whole situation with waiting
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: now putting him on and now it's going to be
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: at least sounds like a couple more weeks maybe to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: get him back to where he needs to be.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: I think this kind of boiled down to cal you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: being the competitor that he is and the pride he
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: takes on being available and understanding his role of uh,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: you know, not just being a team leader, but you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: he has his hands in pretty much everything. He's their
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: primary run producer on offense, and he navigates their entire
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: pitching staff, especially the rotation, so he's a member of
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: that group as well, and so understanding the value that
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: he brings I think presented just some internal challenges of
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: wanting to grind through it. Plus he's, you know, a
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: blue collar, hard nosed player who never complains really and
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: pridens himself again on being available. You know, from what
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: I've gathered, the first time that it flared up in
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: that early May series against the Royals and he missed
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: three games, he was in a good spot based on
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: the treatment and some of the recovery that he did
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: over those few days to get back out there. It
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: didn't necessarily correlate in the box score because he was
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: in the middle. He went on to go through an
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: over thirty eight stretch, but you know, it's where he
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: reaggravated it when we were in Houston that they decided
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: to shut it down out, you know, realizing that you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: to fully get this in a in a good place,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: in a pain free place, that it was just going
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: to take you know, long term rest and recovery. So,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: you know, based on the conversations that we had with
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: him after he was placed on the IL, I think
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: he went through kind of an internal mental battle of
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: again wanting to be there, wanting to be available, wanting
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: to play through it. But the reaggravation down there in
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: Houston kind of led to this decision to to you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: shut it down for the time being and truly allowed
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: to recover.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Daniel Kramer cover zams for MLB dot Com. MLB dot
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: com go check he does great work there, folks, which
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: make sure you check that out at MLB dot com.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: All Right, you were lucky you're here for the first
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of the two piggyback days and then you guys were
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: able to get out of town. So you haven't been
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: on sports radio and listening to our listeners and everyone
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the entire town is pissed off, Daniel. Everyone's upset about
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: piggybacks situation, and now it sounds like a couple of
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: both players involved. The postgame interview that Brad did with
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: with Bryce Miller, he wasn't happy, and the TV cameras
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: catching the castill stuff in the dugout. You were down there,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you're there every day, you're in the clubhouse. You have
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: your pulse on this thing. How big a deal is
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the piggyback situation both for the two players involved, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: does anybody on the team even pay any mind to
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it whatsoever?
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a complicated situation because I think, as I
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: wrote about last night and the story's up right now,
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: the communication seemed to be, you know, the most contentious
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: part of what led to the frustration from Luis when
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: we saw him slam his glove and in the dugout bench,
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: which you know I posted. I've never seen that before
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: from him. That type of frustration he very well might
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: have in other moments, you know, over the past few seasons,
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: but because the clubhouse is all all the way and
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: left field, he was kind of left there in the
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: dugout for a full inning and a half to absorb
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: some of those raw emotions. And you know that lens
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: to the platform of being on that stage for pretty
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: much everybody to see. So there was that part of it,
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: and then Bryce in particular, you know, not being informed
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: of what the game plan is for how he's going
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: to be used, whether he's starting or relieving, you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: just not getting a ton of advanced notice from the
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: coaching staff on that they met yesterday to try to
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: clear all of that up and you know, make sure
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: that both guys are on the same page and understanding
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: about the benefit to this and the long term solution
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: to having you know, what they believe and which is
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: a fair argument. You know that the best problem the
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: sport has to offer, which is six healthy and what
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: they believe is capable starters. And the fact that you
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: started to see Luis Turney corner a little bit more
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: lends credence to why they're doing this.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: The other factor in this is, you know, Bryce has
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: had as dynamite as he's looked, he's had workload challenges
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: over the past twelve months, you know, whether it's the
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: bone spurs and his pitching elbow last year, obviously the
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: oblique strain that led into this season. I don't think
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: they're really questioning his durability and they want to maximize
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: his potential. But on paper, if you were to look
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: at of those six arms, which is the clearest to
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: go to the bullpen, it would probably beat Bryce. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: then if you go down that route, how's that going
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: to impact his confidence? Because he's at a sky high
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: level now, he feels good, he's healthy, he's coming off of,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: you know, a really epic postseason as well, and how
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: he finished that year on a high note. They don't
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: want to compromise any of that either, the part about okay,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: so if that's if that's the plan to not move
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: him to the bullpen, then are you going to move Luise?
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Well you could, but you know, as I kind of
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: wrote about, if you go to the bullpen, even on
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: a short term basis and you don't use this piggyback strategy,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: daily availability is going to be vital. So Luis would
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: have to transition into a routine where he's prepared to
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: pitch in one to two inning bursts on potentially back
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: to back days. Again, this is something he's never done
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: before in his career, pitching him relief at all, but
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: then adjusting to that full time relief routine. Now, you
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: know that might have benefits to it and align better
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: for a five man rotation where you're using your five
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: best and most consistent arms. But if one of those
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: guys were to go down, it would take an extended
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: period to restretch Luis back out, and then you've kind
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: of hamstrung your hamstrung yourself for the benefit of having
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: six healthy and capable starters. You know, I would it
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: take months, No, but it could take weeks, you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: just given that you're throwing his routine off and you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: forcing him to make adjustments that he's never done before
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: in his career, and how that would impact him upon
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: a potential return to the rotation if they were to
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: suffer another injury.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: D Yeah, I know, yeah, I got it. I was
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: just gonna say, like one of the things I thought
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: was interesting Daniel Cremer at MLB dot com, And you
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: wrote about this because we all thought, okay, six man rotation,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: but I think what you said, and this is interesting.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: They don't want to take away starts from Kirby wo
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and Gilbert, right, that's that's like that that kind of
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: one of the priorities here is they don't want those
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: guys to lose starts.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Right for sure? Yeah, Now, I mean, like Brian was
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: their All Star last year. He was their best arm. George,
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: you know, he's scuffled a little bit of late, but
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: has arguably been their most consistent. You know, a case
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: could also be made for Emerson Hancock in that guard
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: as well. And if you talk about guys transitioning to
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: the bullpen, like, can you imagine Logan Gilbert doing that,
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: Like with all of the extensive routine that he goes through,
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: not just on his in between starts, but like on
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: his start day. I mean, he's got so much going
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: on like that would just not be an option for
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: them as well. So it's a complicated spot, you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: like we kind of foresaw that a situation where not
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: everybody was going to be happy about how this has
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: played out. I think it was compounded a little bit
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: more clearly based on the communication standpoint, specifically with Louise
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: and Bryce, which they took steps towards alleviating yesterday by
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: sitting both of those guys down. Dan Wilson and then
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: Pete Woodworth was also there and then shortly thereafter Jerry
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: depodom me with them one on one to supplement the
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: coaching messaging with the front office. Logic and you know,
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: based on you know, what I've heard and the people
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: I've talked to that those conversations ended with both players
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: being more receptive to what's going on right now.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Daniel Cranmer MLB dot com before you let go, just
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: real quick, Hancock, I mean what he's done too. It's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: interesting because this was the afterthought. He was your number
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: six guy, but he's got to be very much part
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: of this rotation moving forward. Last night, especially watching.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: Him, Yeah, I think with him last night was an
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: encapsulation of all of the progress he's made this season. Yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: first pitch strikes only fourteen of the twenty two guys.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: He fell into a three ball count to eleven of
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: the twenty two guys. He faith didn't issue a walk
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: until the fifth inning, He's only finished with two, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: he was able to escape the truest jams of the night,
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: which were in both of those innings when more traffic
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: compounded after it, with six scoreless innings and just one
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: hit aloud. So, I think the thing with him that
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: really shined last night, again, tying back to the progress
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: he's made all season, is that even if he's falling
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: behind and counts like he has the conviction and confidence
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: right now in his stuff, but also from the mental
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: standpoint that he can work back into those counts, that
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: he can get a groundball if he needs and that
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: you know, traffic is not going to be something that
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: really breaks him out or allows the situation to spiral.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: And so that's kind of the evolution of a quality
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: starting pitcher who's continuing to learn the sport, continuing to
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: learn more about his stuff. And I think that's the
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: encouraging thing that you're seeing with him, that he'll continue
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: to build on and the sample size continues to grow.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Because it's now been eleven starts this season.

• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Ian for Nas with you Anderson Hurst. Jessin McIntyre running

  Speaker 2: We have some We have a fun game we're gonna play.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be a fun game. That's gonna be a
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: fun game. Four nine four five one. That is the
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Taba Dodge text line four nine four five one. Also
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: you can chime in on the top back line as well.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Go to the iHeartRadio app the red microphone at nine
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: three point three KJFM, and fire away. So this is crazy.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: This story is to me is nuts just because it
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: shows a couple of things. One, how broken college sports
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: are where two people are not just opposite sides of
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the aisle in the Senate, the US Senate, but also
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: as probably is farly opposed to each other in terms
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: of the political spectrum as it can possibly be. Senators
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell have got together a bipartisan
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: college sports bill. It's called Protect College Sports Act. Now,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just gonna say this. I don't and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know where this is going to go, the ramifications,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: how it would be enforced with the NC double we're
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: gonna get and I trust all that stuff. I'm just
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: gonna read you what it what it's about, and four
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: nine four or five one and andrews ingest same thing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: When we go through the whole thing, and then you
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: guys tell me what doesn't make sense, Like what doesn't
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: make sense if they implement this and if somehow it
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: goes through. And keeping in mind, right now, there's meetings
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: taking place, SEC meetings, This assive push by the Power
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: four conferences, well three of the four ACC Big twelve,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and Big Ten, to increase the college football Playoff to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: twenty four teams. The pushback that continues to come from
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the SEC that says, we don't want a twenty fourteen playoff.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: They're speaking, by the way, on behalf of their main
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: television partner, ESPN ABC, who currently have all of the
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: college football playoff games it goes to twenty four they
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: can't possibly do that. They know that. Then it goes
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to Fox, TNT, whoever else, which is why the Big
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: ten's pushing it. So that's all taking place under this backdrop.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Are we going to get to twelve? We're at twelve now,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: sixteen makes more sense just because you can get rid
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: of the bye weeks and still retain your conference championship games,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: which bring in revenue for at least the SEC. They
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: are the ones I'm assuming bring in revenue, but not
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: at the same level. So all that's taking place, But
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna read through this and this is courtesy Nicole
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Auerback did a good job of this bullet pointing for me.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you by the time you did something. No kidding,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: h Here we go, Nicole Allerback says, So, here's what
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: it is. The details the details of this again bipartisan
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: bill being proposed called the Protect College Sports Act our
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Senator Maria Cantwell and Senator Ted Cruz again strange bedfellows,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: very strange. I think they've ever agreed on anything in
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the Senate. Those two no chance, no chance like zero
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: chances and the college that is that is it. So
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: here's go sets the national standards for nil compensation, targets,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: deals that are used, soles that circumvent the revenue sharing camp,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: allows the CSC, which is that governing body U in schools,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: to actually enforce the salary camp enforceable transfer rules. One
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: free transfer. Additional transfers may require athletes to sit out.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna come back to that one. A second five
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: year eligibility clock. The NCAA, by the way, is also
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: exploring trying to get that done. Where you have five
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: to play four, which used to be the case. COVID
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: changed that and then whatever else world we're in now
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: other stuff, you know, Trinidad and Shambliss and at Illness.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: These guys are fine. Like you know, I wouldn't want
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: if my kid was playing college football, and I I
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: hate I didn't think it was fair, to be honest
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: with you, that BYU had and still does has the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: ability to have to be basically stash guys for two
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: years on Mormon missions and they come rolling back into
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: town they're twenty five exactly, like twenty four to twenty five.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Because you red shirt, then you have a two year
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Mormon mission, because that's usually what they'll do, not usually
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of times what they'll do at BYU. You go,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: there's an eighteen year old, your red shirt. As a
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: nineteen year old, you go into two year Mormon mission,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: so you're nineteen twenty, you come back at two twenty one,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: and you're a red shirt freshman. It's funny because for
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the longest time they didn't have any A little side
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: note here, I'm going to digress for a second. For
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the longest time they didn't have I think the only
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: quarterback they had that went on a Mormon mission that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: went to the NFL, keeping in mind Jim McMahon was
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: not Mormon. I think Mark Wilson get out of shoreline here.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I think he's the only one. It was like very
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: rare because the skill guys had a problem coming back.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Where it helped them were the big guys. Oh yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: big fellas go on more mission, they come back, they're
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: growing ass men, put on more wait, thanks for coming.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: So they've had that for a while. But five year
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: eligibility clock, like the NCUBA is exploring, bars professional athletes
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: from competing in the nc double A. I'm going to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: come back to that one because I love that. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: love that one because that's that became a big thing
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: in basketball last ye Remember Alabama had the kid to
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: play in the G League. I want to say Washington
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: signed a guy that was playing pro ball in Australia
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: for the offseason. Sprinkle did like that's happening all over
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the place. I'm not maybe our guy has to our
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: guy's signed anybody, but anyway prohibits tampering, well that should
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: have already been in there. The NCAA doesn't want you
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: to tamper, but everyone does. And no one wants to
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: be a whistleblower because everyone does it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Everybody just had to get creative with the way they
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: You're you're but you're not gonna blow the whistle because
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: you're doing it too like you're not gonna say like
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: like you're not gonna say, hey, what's that knucklehead linebacker
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: that left us Ubuka whatever? What's what was his name?
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: The kid which one the kidd's line back.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Zero zero uh played for the Wazoo Now.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: Wash uah, Sorry that guy didn't think Washington tampered with him.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: He left the second the sut season was over. Yeah,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: and I'm not throwing That's just one example. It's everyone
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: tampered everywhere. Well, you know what, let's let's not let's
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: not go after Washington. Let's slide with Washington for a second.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: You think demon Williams was tampered with, Yeah, we know
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: he was tampered with. One hundred percent. De Mont Williams
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: of tampered with one hundred percent. He was so for
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: him his tampering, I don't know how that one's afforcible.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: We'll get back limited anti trust protection for associations and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: conferences and enforce and comply with rules. So the anti
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: trust stuff, that's a humillan thing. He'll give you a
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: dissertation on that. He understands it because he was involved
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: with Players Union for so long. He understands that stuff
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: far more than the rest of us. And if they
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: get into this with him on his show, I'm sure
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: they will uh with Dick and Softy at some point.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Me continue provisions to guard against the formation of a
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: super league WHOA Conferences that distribute more than a billion
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: dollars in revue last fiscal year cannot further consolidate I e.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: SEC and Big Ten, cannot consolidate options to pool media rights.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Some provisions to protect rivalry games. This is the one
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I love, and I think this one. The fact that
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: this is not in effect right now is absolutely mind
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: boggling to me and so many others because it's the
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: only professional that allow and I just called college football
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: professional sport, but let's just call football and basketball. It's
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the only No other sport allows this. It's called the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin rule. That's what they put it in there,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: topping the NFL but really copying other leagues. You're not
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: allowed to poach a head coach from another team in
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: season with legal protection and force. That rule. In other words,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the coaches that are leaving before the season's over and
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: before frankly, you know your team has a chance to
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: finish off the year. You can't just go get them.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: You can't just go get.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: A guy because in the playoffs.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: And but there was more. The coach of Florida, Now
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: was it too Lane? I mean there's there's but he stayed.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Lane did not Lane is Lane? Ain't no way they
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: wanted to stay. So all those things are taking place.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: So as I go through that list, is anything that
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: jumps out and you say, boy, that makes no sense
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: because there anything in there that just jumped.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Out four one, two, And that's my initial reaction is like,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: this stuff wasn't a rule before.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: Well that's the thing that so the so the thing
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: with the transfers having to sit out, I used.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: To be that was the rule.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: That was the rule before all hell broke clues and
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: as it used to be, if you transferred in conference,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: it was two years. Yeah, right, yeah, it was two years.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: You're sitting out, so you weren't poaching guys from your
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: own conference ever.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it was to keep the conference competitive.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Well and just listen, there is and I know, I
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: know I'm on the wrong end of this argument with
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, and they you know, you should
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: be able to do whatever you want to do, and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah and all these things. That's if we
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: want to kind of keep making this close to the
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: real world. That is not the case. Anybody driving around
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: in sales right now. Right, if you're in sales, you
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: probably have a no compete Like if you're doing pharmaceutics,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: you're working for Striker in pharmaceutical sales and apparatus, right,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: just because I know people were fit, like, you can't
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: go to whoever the competing company is just on a whim.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: There's proprietatory information. Are salespeople the ones that are good
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: probably maybe all of them, but I know the ones
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: that are good, they don't just let them go. Hey,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you can go across the street and work for our competitor.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: That doesn't happen. You and I can't do that. We
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: have what you call no compete clauses and all those
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: things exist. So yeah, listen, the transfer part of it,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: to go chase more money, I get that, and let
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: the guys get their cash, let the kids make their money.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: You know, all that stuff is part of it. And
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: there is something to that, but there should also be
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: something to sign a contract. De mont Williams found that
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: out the hard way, Like he didn't want to be here.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: He's also tampered with, so he can make that argument
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: We also clearly didn't learn a lot from his agent. Well,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: he made a mistake.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: But Jesse, here's the problem with the agents. Now with
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: these guys, like a lot of times they're just you know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a friend of the parents, maybe it's another
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: kid that's taken a marketing class. I mean, you've heard
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: the stories, you know. You know, well, it's not unless
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: they're not real agents. No, no, I mean they don't
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: have to be. My arch Manning has a real agent, yes, right,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: like guys like that have real agent.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: But you know, the average college athletes, you do not have.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: To be accredited to call yourself one when it comes
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: to and you know what.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: The crass isn't always greener. Like here's the other part
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: of it, this is this is at some point, sometimes
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: you do things to protect We talked about putting cal
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: on the injured list. You do things to protect the
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: athlete from the athlete, right from himself. Well, like I
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: think and if Donald's listening, he'd probably take offense to that.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: So my apologies, but listen on the surface, Let's use
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Watts for example. Let's just use him. He got
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: paid I'm sure more to go to Maryland than he
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: did at Wazoo. Right, goes to Maryland, has I mean
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: no getting around it, had an abysmal year. Team was bad,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: he didn't play well. Wasn't the same player at Wazoo,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: big man on campus. Go to Maryland, disappointing team. He
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: and Miles Rice are both there, both had disappointing seasons. Uh,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: it just didn't work out. So then what does he do?
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Transfers again to the University of Texas San Antonio. Really, like,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: that's all you could find. You're a better player than that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Why did Washington not want you? Why did why did
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: not want you? Well that was that bridge probably got
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: burned the way of town, right, Sometimes you got to
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: just be careful. This unlimited, just go, go, go go
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: go unlimited. Free agency. We're talking about young people, right,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: and they're signing contracts. I love that. I think, Yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: you get one freebie, that's it. I like that part
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: and part of it too for me and I'm sorry,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I'm old school. I just but if Dick Baird was
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: here right now, he would actually agree with me one
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: hundred percent. The amount of time and effort that you
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: put into recruiting high school kids, and and time effort
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: and even money right to recruit these guys and then
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: have him on campus for one year, develop them for
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: one year maybe, and then they just up and leave.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: That's again in the real world, that doesn't happen. You
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: go to a job, they train you and do all
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: this stuff. You can't just I'm gonna go to your
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: competitor the next day. That doesn't work. I learned all
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: your secrets does not work that way. Well, I think
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: that was you signed something. You should be now go
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: transfer once. But after that, like, there's so many kids
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: that Miles Rice is a great example, just use him.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Miles Rice red shirt that a medical red shirt. God
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: bless me, got sick and he bought fought it. So
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: red shirt, medical red shirt Wazoo, Indiana, Maryland, wherever else
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: He's going to go this year in the span of
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: six years, four schools. But if you want to just
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: take the first two minute of the red Shirts out
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: four schools in four years and he's not alone. That's
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: just dysfunctional. That's just absolutely dysfunctional.
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: Well don't you think at that point too, when you
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: see three transfers on a kid's record, that you were
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: not going to approach him.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's guys hell I think. I mean,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: there's guys that we've all had, our schools had, you
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: dubs have, They've all had guys that are two or
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: three transfer talents are passes, all right, if you can play,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: and the coaches his job is to win games, and
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: his his job security is based on winning games. Yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: there probably is a red flag. Yes, yes, there probably
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: is a red flag at some point. Seahawks have talked
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: But who they draft.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: They did, that's a great point.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: That is they brought that up the guys at state
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Oh this year, Oh this year?
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: What they did it with with Gray? But Clark bug Clark.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Clark was the one they used as kind
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: of their example. Gray is Abel, same thing North Dakota,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Uh State. I mean those two guys. Who else somebody
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: else they drafted this year? Julian Neil went from Fresno
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: State to Arkansas? Right, he was I think he was
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the only I believe I could be wrong. Jadarian Price
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: was a backup. Price started running back, and they talked
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: about that. They talked about him staying and fighting through
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: it and just being the backup.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: To and he talked about and he talked about it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Bud Clark just spoke a lot about that, you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: and and you know, being a team leader and sticking around. Yeah,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: so character, Yeah, you're right, it doesn't matter least, you know,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: if you're going to the NFL. I don't know if
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: the NBA. Really NBA doesn't matter because if you're an
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: NBA player, you're probably gone out for one year anyway,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: right by and large. But as I read through all
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: this stuff, I'm like, wow, So it took the dysfunctional
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: world of the US Senate and two opposing senators on
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: the opposite sides of the aisle man to come up
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: with this that needs sixty votes to pass through, which
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: it will. Let's bipartisan, it's going to pass through. It's
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: but it's not like it's.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: One of the other right, You're right, they're not fighting
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: each other for it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, Ted Cruz will go to the Republicans
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: and Maria Cantwell is going to go to the Democrats
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: and they're just say, hey, can you pet Yep, we're good.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: I really like this bill for college sports. It's not everything.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know how enforceable it is. I don't know
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: what it means.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: To college sports. You see loopholes.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll probably get mandel on next week and talk
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: about it more. But it's the first time in a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: while that I've seen something that I looked through and went, wow,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: that that all that makes sense? Why has it? But
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: that's that's my thing. Why is this Because the NCAA
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: is an inability to enforce rules unless a kid gambles
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: on his own team, I e. Sortsberry but but sores
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: b But by and large, they.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Just don't like that's a Supreme Court issue at that point, right, Well, it's.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Not Supreme couol. But you listen, it doesn't matter what
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: the sport is. They don't like gambling. Like I said earlier,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think you can you know, the Josh
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Jacobs thing is going to be an interesting test case
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: because that is far more egregious and putting a wager,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you know, like, they don't like it when you wager
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: on other sports from inside an NFL locker room, even
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: if it's not has nothing to do with the NFL. Right,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: so even like the supplemental draft, he's got a red
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: flag attached to him as well. So four nine four
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: five one. You guys can check that out. Four nine
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: four to five to one. We'll take a break. We'll
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: come back with more wrap up hour one. Don't forget
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: tyle Cotta coming up top of the our nine three
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: point three k driff.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Huskies Cracking and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Seattle's closest snow Call me Casino and Hotel on Sports
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Alright, back to by, so call me Casino and Hotel
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Snocasino dot com. The uh, I'm just gonna read a
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: text here just I think it's an interesting dynamic. We'll
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: get more texts coming up a two thirty day four
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: nine four to five one to come to dodge text
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: line four nine four five one, uh two six Is
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really a lot of relegation type thing. If
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: a conference boot to school and brings in a different one,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: that wouldn't be consolidation. Yeah, that's an interesting dynamic. Although
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: so would it have to be that it's a tricky
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: dynamic because is it a one for one deal? Right?
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Like one to one? Right, Well, how do you kick
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: that one school? I don't to kick a school out
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: of a conference. I don't. In my sixty plus years
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: on this planet, I don't think it's ever happened. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: can't remember it ever happening.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: No.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: I mean we saw the death penalty for SMU.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: But no, but actually like kicking, like like saying, hey,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: we don't like you Minnesota in the Big Ten. We're
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: going to kick you out that Like, I don't I've seen,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Like I was in Salt Lake. I just got to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Salt Lake when they formed the Mountain West Conference, which
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: was basically the old like a lot of the old
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Wax schools, and they just breakaway eight. They just said
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: we're going to per form form a new conference. We're
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: leaving a bunch of schools behind. And that's what they did,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: kind of precursor to what happened what three years ago, Yeah, right,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: with what happened with the PAC twelve and the demise
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: of that conference. But yet to actually kick a kick
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: a school out, like say, you wanted to kick Vanderbilt
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: out of the SEC and you wanted to add Florida State, Right,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I just don't know how you can make that fly
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: with school presidents. Yeah, so it doesn't say that you're right,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: but I don't I don't know if that. I just
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I can't see the I do. Listen, I have four
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: of them. The RELEGI oh do you okay? And once
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: that the relegation type thing though, Andrews, I know that's
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: something you guys. We've talked about that before, the soccer
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: thing and relegation. The thing with relegation in like college
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: sports specifically that I think would be really difficult. And
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: maybe Andrews, you know this as soccer guy. The television
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: contracts that are written for a conference. Now, you can
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: tell me what it looks like for the league, right,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: it is the Premier League drops is an EPL.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: And then it's confusing because the Premier League is the
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: first league, and then the second league is called the Championship. Okay, okay,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: so yeah, right, it's weird, but yeah, but the second
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: division you drop bottom how many dropped down three?
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: And then top three move.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Up correct and they have a playoff in the in
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: the second Division, I think with six teams after the
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: season's over, and you know, so let's let's use let's.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Use let me let me do this real quick. Let
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: me go back, let me go standings and uh from
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: last year, let's go to which which which conference? You
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: guys want to look at?
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: Big Ten?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Big ten? Of course?
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean that is that what we're like.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna use I'm just
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: going to use the relegation for a second, all right,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: just just for that, We'll go to the Big Ten
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and twenty five. So in the Big
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Ten in twenty twenty five, if the bottom three schools
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: were relegated, sure Michigan State, Maryland, and Purdue had all
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: been relegated to the MAC where would they go the
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Mac Mac attack to the Mac go to the Mac
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: attack right, same same area, just right. So that would
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: mean Western Michigan, Ohio, and Toledo would all move.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: Up to the Big Ten.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: It's just never it's not realistic, I mean, but it's fun.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: It's fun to talk about because that happens in England
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: all the time. Like big clubs move down, but small
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: teams move up. But here's the difference. There's multiple sports.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's where it gets.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: The only school that would make sense there is Maryland
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: because you sucked in football and you sucked in basketball.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: But Michigan State and Purdue are hammer basketball programs, so
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: you don't want to lose them because they bring in
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: the revenue from the NCAA tournament. Absolutely, So it's if
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: we just use that for an example. It would never
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: happen in because there's too many sports. Is it does
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: football dictate what happens to all the other sports. If
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: you're bad in football, then your basketball team pays the price.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: No.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Hell, UCLA was on the cusp, they would have been
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: one win away they could have got relegated. Their women's
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: team won the national championship in women's basketball, So I
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: don't think it would ever. I think relegation is ever
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: going to be anything that you would hear as realistic
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: in this in terms if you want to replace a
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: school with another school, Okay, I guess you could dance
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: with that a little bit. I just think it's really
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: hard to do because you have TV contracts, and those
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: TV contracts are based on the markets that they have.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Michigan State for example, would include the Detroit market.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: And that's one of the reasons why it's that much
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: more important. Like in the Premier League. I'll give you
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: the soccer context here in a second. You talk about
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: the TV contracts, you almost see more like urgency and
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: desperation at the bottom of the league than you do
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: at the top of the league, because it is it
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: is a claw and nail to stay in that top league,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: to keep that television contract and makes sense keep moving
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: the financial streams coming in for that following year because
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: it drops off massively.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: There's always a two way street because the television networks
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: want a certain market, right, So that's part of it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: A lot of what would you find, okay, so Temple
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: Unity actually, so this is the most famous Division one example.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: They were a football only member of the Big East
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: and voted out.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: In two thousand and one.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: Took effect in two thousand and four, but the conference
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: presidents were like, see.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Yup, thanks for coming home.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: Interesting, and they were football only, but they had they
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: brought very little fan support or revenues, so interesting they
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: got kicked out. And then there are a few others,
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: but that was the most recent, well the most famous.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: East was ready to implode, right, That was the other
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: part of it, like the Big East as we know it,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: like the old Big East, not the Big East right now,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: but the old Big East with Georgetown, Saint John's exactly
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: all those schools.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: And they were football only.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: All the teams ended up going to the ACC, right right.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: So that was kind of the implosion there.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: And then the Sun Belt twenty seventeen is one New
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: Mexico and Idaho New Mexico State. I'm sorry, it wasn't
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: like a huge official boat.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I decided to go back to the Big I do
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: decide to go back to one Double A, but that
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: was their decision.
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: Well, it said the Sunbelt Conference effect will removed both
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: schools by notifying them their football only affiliate members will
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: not be renude. So that wasn't as harsh as the
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: Temple won, right.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because when Idaho went to be Idaho went from
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: one Double A or FCS, I guess could call it, right.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: They went from that to Division one for a while,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: didn't work, and they say let's go back, and we're
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: going to go back to this that was going to
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: call for them. They yeah, yeah, you know what's going
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: to die I'll tell you what's going to die in
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: the Vine. Is Division two football?
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: Oh god, yeah, like they're just going to proach anyone
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: who's good.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: But no, it's because there's no there's no money. Oh no,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: there's In our state, Western or Central is the only
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Division two program. The closest team they have to them
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: is Western Oregon in Salem.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Western's programs going on.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: And there's no other Division two football programs on the
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: West coast.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Question for you, as someone who is close to the
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: situation with Division three football with your son, Yeah, how
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: many Division three teams would beat Division two teams.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Would beat them?
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: Yes? Would they'd be competitive?
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Lynnfield, Linnfield, and a couple teams from Northwest Conference played
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Simon Fraser in its final years and torched them. Yeah,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: but Simon Fraser up dropping their program. So I tell
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: you where the level was. Sure Central would beat Division
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: three program. Okay, Now, I don't know if they would
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: beat all Like I like watching North Central and.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: Some periods on the level difference.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there's teams back in the Midwest that are
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: that are Division three and they got an IL deals
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. They would they would be They're
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: right there with them. Yeah, yeah, they're right. In fact,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: probably could beat a lot of them, like like I'm
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: just I'm just North Central and a couple others off
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: the top of my head could probably beat like Central
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: without a problem.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: But again, those kids are Division three in name only, correct,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: They're all getting stuff. It's a whole different world. Like
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: like our guys went back there and played two Midwest
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: teams and two years in the playoffs and it was like, uh,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: growing ass men out here.
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: But so you said there were only two Division two
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: on the West coasts, there's none in the California.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: In California, they're all Division three now and Western and
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Colorado and Texas and South. Yeah, I don't know how
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Central makes it work. They need to go to the
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Big Sky, like honestly, they need to find a way
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: upgrade stadium, go to the Big Sky and be done
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: with it. Stop it, stop messing around. That's what you
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: need to be all right, Well say break come back.
• 44:16

  Speaker 2: fact that the top team in the regular season has
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: not won in since Chicago, which is like almost two
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: decades ago.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, it's been a while.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: All right, Carolina Montreal, Carolina. Le's that series two games one,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Game four is tonight? Was there an NBA game last night?
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: Bo?
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: Care?
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I don't care that that's right?
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: Ye?
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: NFL Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: released from jail Wednesday. He was arrested on several domestic
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: violence charges. That ain't going in well. Not good, Not good,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Josh Jakers. A group of US centers, including our own
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Senator Maria Cantwell I, have introduced bipartisan college Sports bill,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: proposing a salary cap transfer limit's college sports. We talked
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: about that in the first downs. It's our number two.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Now back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: cracking and the twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: closest snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kjr FM.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Seahawk just made that trade official with IRV Charles moments ago.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: It's a weird one. I'm not to say it's a
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: bad one. Interesting.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: They like their special teamers, Ian they invest more in
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: that than any other team in football, and last I.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Checked there the Super Bowl champions. Yeah, so maybe it
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: does work. Probably it does. We'll get into a little
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: bit more at about one thirty or Sourday one twenty five,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: uh on. Just impressions from yesterday. Stuff going on I
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: listened to the afternoon show.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I always like when they say we're not going to
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: talk about something, they spend like two segments time.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Oh I know, God, they make fun of the people
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: that do and then they're the ones that do about it.
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of you want to know about
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: what's going on with the Seahawks. I think that's they're
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: the one thing that matters every day, all day, et cetera.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: But it is an interesting dynamic that I mentioned with
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Greg earlier in terms of kind of who and what
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: they are. And what I mean by that is they're
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: they're not the same as the twenty thirteen championship team
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: because the personality, if you want to just put them
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: side by side, the first thing that comes to mind
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: for this team compared to that team boring. Just boring.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Boring's not now that's usually a negative term.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: No, they're like perfectly boring.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: They're perfectly boring, boring you like you like boring.
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: I mean that's like Mike McDonald, like he lets his
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: personality show every now and then.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: It comes out.
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but I feel like they bought into him so
• 47:59
  Speaker 7: hard and followed the leader.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll talk a little bit more about the
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Hawks coming up at one point thirty today. But I
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: want to do this. Tylecotta was came in yesterday. They said,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: you know, who do you want to talk about? You practice?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: And I was wandering around out there and I said,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: there's Tylecotta. And one of the things that jumped out
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: at me with him is watching him work with Bud Clark.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: And you know, as of right now with Noil Kobe Bryant,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: that spot is open in the secondary.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: So I would think it's the kind of competition between
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: those two players.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Probably is. Yeah, there's other guys, you know, the Anthony
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Bell and there's other guys, but it's probably those two.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: He started eleven games last year to Tyokatta and you'll
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: hear the conversation a second I went through. I mean,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: he had like twenty transactions.
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: The crazy thing about him is so he went to
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: smaller school into Montana State. As I didn't see this
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: until today when I was looking back up some stuff.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: He was never even a first team All Big Sky pick.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: He wasn't even a d you know, an FCS All America.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even first team in his conference development isn't lineary,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much, sir, Thank you very much, sir.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: I mean he's you know, came into the league as
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: an undrafted free agent, released, signed to the practice squad
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, activated for a game, back to
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: the practice squad, activated for a game, back to the
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: practice squad, activated, practice squad, back and forth, back and forth,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: and then the same thing in twenty twenty four, game day,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: game day, game day, he was released, signed of the
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: practice squad, boom, boom boom. And then last year he
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: found his way onto the team full time and ended
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: up starting eleven games with injuries in that secondary, ended
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: up being a key player. And do you remember last
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: year how many times did Greg Cosel tell us what
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: the tape said about tyle Cotta was really positive?
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Well, we were kind of like, why is he keep
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: bringing him up?
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, talking to me Wait wait a second, I need
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: to set that up better. Was very good. I don't
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: know we had that. So so when great Cosell you
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: like you like tyle Cotta, why the tapes talking to me?
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: It does?
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: That's such a good correacter.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: That is so on more have more? You you wanted
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: to drops I got. So that is so on brand
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: for co Cell.
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: That is part of his open god. Oh yeah it tapes.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Talking to me. Well, he loved him and I told
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: him actually after we're done with the interview and he
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: went to a break, I was telling Tiger, Yeah, I
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: mean our guy Cosell Man, he loves you more than anything.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Like it's he loved him and he liked Drake Thomas.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: And it's like, because neither one of those guys passes
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: the eye test. True, like they don't pass the eye test,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: they don't look the part, but they what the tape test?
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: They what that? What? What?
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: What?
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: What?
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: What? The tapes talking to me? It is talking to you.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, just a fun guy to talk to the
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: because there's not I just don't think there's a ton
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: of competition for this roster. Like you can, I mean
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: you can make an argument there's only a handful of
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: spots available if that that's one of them. And but
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: like Clark's on the team, Ocata is on the team right.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: A million wide receivers.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the wide receiver position will get to in
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: the minute because again the one today like they are
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: just looking for that gunner. They're looking for whatever. They've
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: got guys on the rock. There's like eight guys competing
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: for that six wide receiver slash gunner roll right, which
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: they put as Andrews said, they put a lot of
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: emphasis in that. All right, without further ado, fun guy
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: to talk. I'm kicking myself. We never asked for him
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: to have on the show before we will. This will
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: not be the final visit. This is from yesterday, right
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: after practice, and then at two thirty in the afternoon,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: we kicked John Lund off the air. That's like the
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: second time we've done that. We did that. We did
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: it with rookie Menti camp for us to kick him off,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: and we were done. We'd had him on for twenty minutes.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: We had had plenty of lun time at that point,
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: but we kicked Lund off and we were joined after
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: practice yesterday by Tylecota. Tylecotta, Seahawks safety is with us.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: What's going on, man?
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: How are you No, I'm doing great, appreciate you having
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: me on.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: How are you doing? I'm good. I appreciate you coming
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: over here. I was just talking the guy that covers
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, so you know, I didn't want
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: to deal with him too much longer.
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: Because no, absolutely not. This sounds a lot better.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: It's way better. How are you man? This is I'm
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: looking out there. It felt like November. Oh yeah, raining
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: and drizzle.
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: Rain, sleet, snow. We're out there getting the work in.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: So that was fun, you know, battle in diversity early.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: I love it. Tylecotta here one of the great stories
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: of the Seahawks season last year and one of the
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: great I went back. I was looking at your bui
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: when I knew you're coming in here, and I'm gonna
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: try to count this up. I'm live on the air
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: for a second. One two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: At least twenty I wouldn't keep counting twenty transactions in
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: your career. Yeah, twenty transactions.
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I joke with people like I know the ins
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: and outs of everything, how the elevations work, how the
• 52:55
  Speaker 9: practice squad, active roster cut. I know way more than
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: I want to know at this point.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: When the final horn sounded last year and you guys
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: were super Bowl champions for a guy that in his
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: fourth season from Montana State, shout out to Bozeman, right.
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: Yep, absolutely not the other place no, not at all.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: We don't need to mention that.
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: No.
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: For national champion Montana State, Bobcats, thank.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: You very much when that final horn sounded. What did
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: it mean to you personally? Knowing that as I mentioned,
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty transactions plus undrafted free agent, all those things,
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: you were Super Bowl champion. Yeah.
• 53:33
  Speaker 9: I think the first word that comes to mind is
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: just is gratitude. I've got a phenomenal support system, my
• 53:40
  Speaker 9: fiance Anna, my family, my parents, my brother, my teammates.
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: So honestly, just the word that comes to mind is gratitude.
• 53:49
  Speaker 9: Just taking you know, I think a lot of guys
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: would say we just took last season one step at
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: a time, and by the time that that last whistle blew,
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: it really did just feel right, you know, It felt
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: like we did take every single step necessary to make
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: that come to fruition. And so just a whole lot
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: of gratitude. And yeah, no, I think that just was
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: icing on the cake for us last season.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Ty I was sitting I was talking a couple of
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: guys out there. We were watching a little bit o
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Ta's guys that covered the team like me for a
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: long time, and we were talking about kind of the
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: first go round when Pete's team won the Super Bowl
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: and when you kind of felt like, wow, this thing's
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: on the up and come right, this is this is
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: there on the verge of something, and we talked about
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: it was it was the playoff lost in Atlanta, twenty twelve,
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, the twenty twelve season, It's like, there's something here.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: If I go back one year ago, you came off
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: a season the team didn't go to the playoffs. Second
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: year with Mike McDonald, but one year ago to Ta's
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: did you feel something different special with this group or
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: did it take a while into the season before he said, hey,
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: we really have something here.
• 54:49
  Speaker 9: You know, I think for us and this is how
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: we operate all season. I think that's what made you know,
• 54:54
  Speaker 9: last year's team so special is we really didn't focus
• 54:59
  Speaker 9: on that. Really we're just focusing on And I know
• 55:02
  Speaker 9: it sounds cliche like, oh, we were taking it one
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: step at a time, YadA, YadA, YadA, But it was
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: really just like we felt good about how we ended
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: the season priory, especially how our defense came along and
• 55:12
  Speaker 9: having a full year under coach Mike's system. So I'd
• 55:15
  Speaker 9: be lying if I said you know, we weren't feeling
• 55:17
  Speaker 9: like we had some building blocks there, but at the
• 55:19
  Speaker 9: same time, it was like what are we what are
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: we going to do with it? And so OTAs we
• 55:23
  Speaker 9: came in, you know, everybody just had the right mentality,
• 55:26
  Speaker 9: and it was like, each day, we're going to give
• 55:28
  Speaker 9: it our best and just leave the result to itself.
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: Like we're going to go about our process and approach
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: each day the way we need to, and the results
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: are going to take care of itself. And then from there,
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: I feel like as the season progressed, we kind of
• 55:42
  Speaker 9: could start feeling that build, but really it was ultimately
• 55:45
  Speaker 9: like hey, back to ground zero every single week, like
• 55:48
  Speaker 9: this is what we need to do to take care
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: of this week, and so just not really you know,
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: being able to put the result to the side and
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: go about our process, I think is what made it
• 55:55
  Speaker 9: so special.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: I kinda with us. I think one of the things
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: too that I look back and I knowing since he
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: was a rookie out of Alabama, We've done a ton
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: of things over the years with Jaron Reid, and he
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: sat here in this spot during OTA's last year and
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: I said to him, I go, why are you here,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Because like for so long we've watched these OTAs with
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: football and it's like, guy, they're not mandatory mini camp is.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: But I said, why are you here? And he says,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: because this is how it works under coach McDonald. This
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: is how it works, and we got to set the tone.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: I'm looking out there today, I think it. I know
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: the trophy said something different, but I think he's the
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: reigning Offensive Player of the Year. Jackson Smith and jab
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: out there catching balls in the mist and the rain.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Everyone basically is here. That was the case last year
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: as well. Does that come from coach McDonald? Where does
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: that come from?
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: Absolutely? I think it comes from coach McDonald, That comes
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: from John upstairs, and then it comes from just every
• 56:45
  Speaker 9: individual that's in this locker room. We have a special
• 56:47
  Speaker 9: set of individuals where you talk about guys like Jaron Reid,
• 56:51
  Speaker 9: you talk about guys like JSN, like those are our
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: top guys. Leonard Williams, like those are those are our
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: top players, and they're here and that's the way we
• 57:00
  Speaker 9: go about it, like that's a part of our process.
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: It's proving it to yourself, it's proving it to your teammates,
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: building that trust, building those bonds, and relationships. So when
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: it comes to playing in those games later down the road,
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: you know, here in Loomenfield, in front of all the fans,
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: we've already proven it to ourselves that we've taken care
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: of this. We were doing that back in the rain.
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: Day one of Ota is twenty twenty six. Come next year.
• 57:22
  Speaker 9: That's what we can look back on when we started
• 57:24
  Speaker 9: today off in the rain, like we can. Those are
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: the building blocks and the foundation that we're setting for
• 57:28
  Speaker 9: next season.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: This sounds this may sound strange. I kind of like that.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of times NFL teams with a nice
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: indoor facility, it's drizzly, it's rainy, especially at this time
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: of the year. You know what the easier thing is
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: to go inside. This guy is not about that. No,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: I mean even in November, like you're thinking, oh they no,
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: they're outside. This coach is not about that.
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Is that's just gay. See with the hell you might
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: have to play in rainy anyway, I guess. But it's
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: not easy. No, it just can't be easy.
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: No, absolutely, And it prepares us. You know, we're gonna
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: be playing games late in the season and Loomen in
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: condition similar to that, and we'll be able to look
• 58:02
  Speaker 9: back at that time and be thankful that we prepared
• 58:03
  Speaker 9: the way we prepared.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Bud Clark gets drafted. It's never going to be easy
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: for thirty nine, for Seattle, is it no?
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: Like it's nothing, you know, you know, I've come to appreciate.
• 58:13
  Speaker 9: I joke with my older brother, like nothing, nothing in
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: my life has come easy, and I'm so I've come
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: to appreciate it so much like that, it wouldn't be
• 58:20
  Speaker 9: my story. It would not be tayl Kotta story if
• 58:22
  Speaker 9: it came easy, and it won't be worth it.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: So what I like to say, I'll tell people this
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: when we're watching out there today, is as he came
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: off a few times, you know, and there it's the
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: first time you guys have all been together, right, and
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: he comes off, and you're the first guy to talk
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: to him. You're the first guy to go to him,
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: like you guys are competing for a starting spot. I
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: mean you, I think probably by now, hopefully I'm assuming
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: you feel fairly comfortable in your fifty three man rolled
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: like you're here, but at the same time, like you
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: want to play. You want to be the dude out there,
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: and you've shown you could do that. Whether Kobe's heard
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Julian doesn't matter. You can play anywhere. But but what
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: is it like, like not everybody would do that? Why
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: did you make sure that every time Bud Clark came off,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: you were making sure he kind of knew what was
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: You know, a the better he gets, the better our
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: team gets. And you know, however, I can help him
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: grow as a person as a player, that's gonna make
• 59:09
  Speaker 9: the Seahawks better. And it's gonna only make me better
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: if I'm able to coach him up on it. That means,
• 59:14
  Speaker 9: you know, I'm you know, diving in even deeper and
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: thinking about like different, different little intricacies of our defense.
• 59:20
  Speaker 9: And if I'm able to teach it, it helps me
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: out at the same time. But also, you saw the
• 59:24
  Speaker 9: way last year progressed with myself. So at the end
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: of the day, you know, God forbid anything happens. It's
• 59:29
  Speaker 9: like everybody you know is gonna need to find a
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: role and build on it. And you know, I'm super
• 59:37
  Speaker 9: excited for Bud. He's an awesome person. He brings an
• 59:39
  Speaker 9: incredible energy and he's such a great He's such a
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: great guy. Like he came up to me and he
• 59:44
  Speaker 9: was like, Hey, I'm gonna be in your ear about
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: you know, X, Y and Z. I'm gonna be asking questions.
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: I hope that doesn't bother And I'm like, dude, it
• 59:50
  Speaker 9: not one bit. And I actually really appreciate that about him.
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: He's got an awesome future in this league and I'm
• 59:55
  Speaker 9: looking forward to being teammates with him, Like it's it's incredible.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Who is that guy for you?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 9: Oh my gosh. I'm thankful for all the vets that
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: I came in with. You know, I can bounce any
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: idea off a Julian. You know, we're not much different
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: in age, but he's been in the league a lot
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: longer than I have, and he's been in different systems
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: and he's been around different people, and so he's got
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: phenomenal insight. But then even coming in as a rookie
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: and I had Jamal and Quandre and Kobe, like, those
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 9: guys were all guys that I was able to lean
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 9: on and ask questions too, and they were always phenomenal
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: to me. So also a part of that is like
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 9: it's only right to the game that I also am
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: doing that same thing for Bud.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: I'd befriend that you go, how hard is it in
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: this league? I just mentioned all your transactions, but you've
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: been here, yes, right, yes, And I don't know. I'm
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: sure there's like a little wink, but he just hang around.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: We'll call you in a week or so whatever's gonna happen,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: or next day. But you win a super Bowl, you
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: go through everything you have to do to get to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: that point, all those games and everything, and then there's
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: always the natural attrition in the NFL guys leave you
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: mentioned Kobe Reek, what have you, especially guys on your
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: side of the ball. How hard is that personally?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 9: For guys, it's I think it's I think it's super tough.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: You know. You you build these amaze, amazing bonds with
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: some great people, but you're also you're also very happy
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 9: for them. You're also happy for their opportunities and what
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: their future holds. Just so thankful for the time that
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: we got to spend together.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: With those guys.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: But it's it's it's a bummer, but it's a part
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 9: of it, you know, and it's all it's all for
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 9: great reason, and so just very thankful for my time
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: with them when I look back on it.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Wrap it up with a shout out to Bozeman. What
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: was the best thing about going to Montana State?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 9: The people had to be the people, the support around
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: Montana State, bobcats just that's God's country out there. Montana
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: is and uh and Bozeman will always hold a special
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: place in my heart. I'm looking forward to, you know,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: raising my family there one day. I love Montana. I'm
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: oergually from Minnesota, but you know, I've loved Montana. So

  Speaker 2: Seahawks, nin Er Seahawks, Rams, Montana, Montana State. Where are

• 1:01:58
  Speaker 9: I'd recommend it to anybody that hasn't experienced it. You know,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: I've got every argument to make that it's the best
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 9: college rivalry out there by far. But I can have
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: that conversation with anyone.
• 1:02:10

  Speaker 2: for a while. They made it official today. Yeah, exactly,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: here we go. The game time has been set for
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: the Apple Cup, which is only kind of half the story.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Apple Cup is going to be played at one pm.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: It'll be on NBC or Peacock.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: I haven't worked with a lot of them.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: It'll also be on Sunday, September sixth. What that's the
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: day before Labor Day, which is just awesome because that
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: means that once again solidifies us working on later day.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: Ah.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why we would anyway.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: We would anyway if it was on Saturday, Yeah, we
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 7: would still be doing it.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: But why it's not competing with the NFL. I guess,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: but yeah, because it's a week before the NFL starts.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: So yeah, So.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Sunday, September Sunday, September sixth, the Apple Cup one o'clock
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: at Husky Stadium.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: So right in the middle of a holiday weekend, is
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 7: what you're saying.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it would have been Saturday or Sunday, so I.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: Guess, but Saturday, you still get Sunday, Monday.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: I gotcha. It's like happy is not happy.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: Not happening.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: It's like a meeting for like twelve or one pm
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: in the middle of a day that you have off.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: Like it takes up the whole day.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 7: This takes up the whole weekend, and and so people
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: are going to have to make choices.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe my choice will be drinking at ten o'clock in
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: the morning at home and for those who don't have
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: to work the game and saying the entire time that
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: this is.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: One o'clock is plumb kickoff time.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 8: And.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: This is asinine that we're doing it. That's my other thing.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: I just period doing it.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: Period.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate it. I mean, we're not playing with
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: level playing field at all. We weren't playing with the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: level playing field in the same damn conference we certainly
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: aren't now. But whatever, people want the money. I get it.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: They want the money, cash money. It's I lose out oarguments. Yeah, no,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: I know whatever, It's fine, but yeah, one o'clock. I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: don't mind the Sunday. That's actually kind of fun. I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: think it is funny with Labor Dy weekend and I
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: game times and stuff are all still being set and
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: these all network dependent, right. I think Labor Day weekend
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: for college football you should have more games, like, you
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: should have more games.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: That's your one weekend.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because it's the one weekend the NFL doesn't
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: come in and just absolutely you know, override, you run
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: you over like a like a semi truck.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: Right, I'm making like Michayla Maroney faces right now.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 10: I'm like, I just like a reference. Oh I love yeah,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 10: like if you're passed about. And yeah, not to be
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 10: confused with Megan Marony, the country singer. No, all right, yes,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 10: but but yeah no, I I I think and I again,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 10: game times, TV slots, all that stuff starting to come
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 10: out right now. But usually there's a one there's a game,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 10: like last year on Monday Labor Day, it was the debut.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 10: Remember the debut of Bill Belichick when you just got
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 10: absolutely boat raced. I think who was it was a Baylor.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 10: I think we went back and just kicked their asshole
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 10: over the field.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: And but there's always normally a game on Monday night
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: college football, Labor Day, right. I know that because you
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: guys might have met some of my friends that were
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: here last week Fantasy football.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just remember a big over the show.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's our draft days, our draft days, yeah, our
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: draft days, Labor Day. Yeah, whenever, And they they it's
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: whenever I get home and which something only got work,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: so whenever I get home.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: So not only do you determine the schedule of the
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: draft based off of you know, when you get home,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: but you got last.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: Well, it's they can't. Here's the thing, everybody else has
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: the day off. I'm the only guy has to work,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: So whenever I can get from here to me Valley
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: is when we start the draft. But we always do Monday.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: There's always a game. You know, it feels like it
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: always was Florida State and Clemson or somebody playing, just
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: like some sort of random acc game going on. But
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: I was kind of thought there could be other games
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: on Mondays. Like of Labor Day, or in this case,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: maybe more than one. I'm sure there's more than one
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Sunday game. If we're playing the Apple Cup at one
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: on NBC, probably there's a double header.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: Vault supposedly from the four two five here. Main reason
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: for Sunday is because there's only two other games that day,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: so we'll be seen by a lot of people.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, I can, I can.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: With so I am so sick and tired of being seen.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: They need it?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no money, money, No, we do
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: not need I'm a whole different topic.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: No, I'm saying, like I know what you're saying. Visibility
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 7: is an excuse to do whatever you want with the team.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: It's the Friday thing. Yeah, oh, you know you get
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: more busial the you're a standalone game on a Friday. Well,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Friday Friday is you know you work, put it at
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: six am. Then if you want more eyes Friday. Just
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: just knows this from television. Friday is the least watched
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: day of the week for television.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: As a whole, everyone goes out. If you look around
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: and this is this, it's changed, our life has changed.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: But I'll just all you have to just point out
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: what's on TV on a Friday night on the networks.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Never a hammer show that they want people to watch.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: In today's world, it's all reality.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: You don't like the Voice on Tuesdays or.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: Mass Singer survivor eve Heyday of primetime television.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: It was all Thursday, Tuesdayesday, Thursday. Yeah. Yeah, So Friday
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: Sunday night. So when people say by, well, people say, oh,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: it's a standalone game on a Friday. So the Big
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Teniel Huskies are playing back to back Fridays on the
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: standalone games. Everyone's watching in the country. No they're not, know,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: No they're not. And hell half of them are probably
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: at high school game anyway, that's right. So Sunday is
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: September six. I'm I'm all. I'm all in on a
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Sunday game. To be honest with you, I'm in. Let's
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: go a way we can. Yeah, I'm in.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: Unlike the sideline reporter.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Of the sideline reporter is not happy with this, not happy.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: What's so?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: Well, Well, you know how it is to get to pullman, right,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: So I'm prepping all day.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: We'll be okay. Sorry, I thought it was a home game.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Remember, we got to ask kicked at home last year.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: By then, so I'll be prepping all day on.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah I do. I've about that removed it.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I just have PTSD and some things I black
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 7: some things out. No, but this is this is the
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: way I think about it. If if the game's on Saturday,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 7: especially if it's in Seattle, I still have Sunday Monday there.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: But I'm going to be working on Monday anyway.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: But this just means you have Saturday often that's it.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: No, I'll be prepping all day Saturday because it's at
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: one o'clock kick off prep. It's not like I can
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 7: go out on Saturday and have a good time. Why not,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: because I have a game to work the next day.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 7: I'll be there at ten am.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: But I don't have that policy in my world. Just
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: reflect on them on the quality of work to see
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: on the crack of the Hockey Network.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: Maybe no, and then yeah, I just on Sunday to
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: work that game.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: But I do like to kickoff time.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: Kickoff time is great.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I have Friday off. How about that Friday
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 7: night because we have to work on this.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's uh I want to I'm gonna
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: throw this out there we got to her from Tyle
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: caught a moment ago and just just a quick impressions
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: yesterday from Mini camp. They it's it's it's so funny
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: watching how Ota I keep calling me. In the camp
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: O tas are operated, balls are thrown. Defensive players take
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: like two steps and then they stop and back off
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: because you can't have any contact. You can't play the ball.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: It's it's frankly, it's hysterical. Yeah, there's a couple of
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: players like, all, oh no, he's not gonna hit them
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: because he can't, and they're all in but looks awesome.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: And in Raiders Camp, I will I know that, but
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: I do know Seahawk fans. I know you're like thirsting
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: and starting from yeah, you probably heard people say that
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: Carlos L. Royle looked really good yesterday because he was
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: running with the ones he's healthy, wasn't healthy a lot
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: last year and they're throwing balls to him down the
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: seam and he's running by guys and again, how hard
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: are those guys on the defense running? Not very? Okay,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: not very But he like when you watch him play,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: just as an athlete. When he was drafted last year,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: we were all excited, like like I keep calling cars
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Elijah Arroyo. Yeah, I mean he's every bit of six
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: five and two sixty like, and he runs like the wind.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: He is an impressive looking athlete.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: He really liked him.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: I think we all like him right now. He looks
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: good again what he does in practice, he's not being defended,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: so you can read about him making these plays. That's great.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: But he does look good running and catching and all this.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: I think the one thing that has jumped out at me,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: both from rookie Mini Camp and even yesterday watching these guys.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: No takeaway, what does it takeaway? Take away? Yeah, this
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: one thing. Remember when Jadari and Price was drafted. What
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: was the criticism of Jadarian Price in his game? In
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: his game? Yeah, but they really didn't ask him to
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: do that much anyway. It was catching, catching, receiving. I
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe I just happened to look at the
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: right times, whether it was rookie Minnie Camp or yesterday.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: Good hands.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: God, they like throwing to him. It's almost like we're
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: going to prove a point. We're just going to prove
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: a point. This dude, this dude could catch the ball
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: and he had a little wheel route yesterday over the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: shoulder catches beautiful. Again, no one's defending him, but it
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: feels like every time I look up, they're throwing a
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: ball to Jadarian Price and did you catch it?
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: Got to dropped the ball. Honestly, the only guy dropped
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: the ball that I saw yesterday, it was a guy
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: that probably can't afford to drop a ball, and that
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: would be uh JACARTI right, who's coming off a season
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: ending injury? Who guy that those of us that watched
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of training camp and OTAs and liked him
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: a lot, Yeah, yeah he was. He wasn't quite George
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Hallane preseason Hall of Fame, but.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's a good thing.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he dropped the pass. But yeah, I mean
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: all these things, what can you tell from a Jalen Milroe?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: What can you you know? What you can tell from
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: like a mill Row is watching him throw with the
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: threes compared to watching the slappies they brought in during
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: the rookie Minnie camp, you know, like Red Slaugh and
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: the other guy. Like Okay, Like like you watch a
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: high school practice and you watch a guy throw, and
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: then you watch and then you watch a college practice
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: and watch a guy throw There's a difference, right, So,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: but no, I think the Jadarian Price catching the ball.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: That's if you're looking to replace Knine. He had good hands,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: but he never.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: He never throw to him. Now they never threw never.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: That was something that they never never threw to him.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: And it was weird because he was like, you're right, Jess,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: he would have good hands, Yeah, catch the ball. I
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: just if you could have one criticism of that of
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: of Kubiak and the offense and how they approach things.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 5: You use your running backs in the passing game.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Or why was ken Walker slitting time?
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 5: M hmm.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: And and you know Greg talks about it all the
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: time when he was doing his thing, when he was
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: with in the preseason and September and all this, like
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: like he Walker was pretty convinced he was gone. And
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think they would ever go to the point
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: of driving quote unquote driving the price down. No, but
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: they It was an odd usage of ken Walker at
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: times splitting as many carries as he did. Was zach Scharbonay,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: But maybe he was as good as he was in
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: the late part of the season, including the certainly could
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: have been because certainly could have been split it. But
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: but if if Scharbay doesn't get hurt, he's still not
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: getting he's not getting as many carries as he did.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: Right, I thought it was a great use of both
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: But one guy, just one guy was so let me,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: let me get this straight. So you don't want to
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: piggyback the running back position.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: No, it's the.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: Same situation, is it not.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: One guy is way better.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: And also you kept them both as long as you could.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: I know that's the same.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 5: It's the piggyback, and it's I don't it's no one guy.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Look, Charbona is a good player. Charbone is not Ken Walker.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: If they would have all you have to do is
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: say this, if if both those guys, not just Walker,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: would have been unrestricted free agents, both available on the
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: open market, and they were both available, and they were
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: both healthy. Yeah, one guy got a record contract for
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: running backs. The other guy wouldn't have got that. He
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: just wouldn't have. And and then I know he's coming
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: off an injury. But they drafted Jadarian Price for a reason. Right,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: They need a one, They need a one, and Sharp
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: is not a one. He's maybe a two A. But yeah,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: I mean that's what it is, but but yeah, they
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: it's it is outside of that. I just watching everybody else.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: I just think that my other takeaways and then this
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: goes back to the likabilities and stuff. We can be
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: getting this a little bit more tomorrow. I'm just kind
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: of comparing the teams, the thirteen team and the twenty
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: five team, both Super Bowl champions. I'm just I'm mesmerized
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: by I'm watching. I'm looking out there, go there's Jackson
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Smith and Jigua just doing everything. It's in the rain,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: it's in the drizzle. He's doing everything, tract but this
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: cat's doing everything. And I'm thinking myself, if I'm at
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: a if I'm at a Vikings practice, as justin Jefferson
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: outside in the rain doing everything. If I'm if I'm
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: at a Bengals, is Jamar Chase doing that. Let's just
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: go through the list of guys, right, this guy's like
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: the most unassuming superstar I think I've ever seen. And
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: I think when you win the Player of the Year,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: you're a superstar. I think I'll put you in that category,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: right Like that puts you in a different a different level.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: This dude is just doing his thing. Man, He's just
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: out there I'm just like hanging out like it's just weird.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: I think that's the comparison contract, the contrast between this
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: team and the twenty to thirteen team to a thirteen team.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: There's this all these personalities and am I doing this?
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: Am I getting mine? Blah blah blah. It's just it's
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: just a different world. I guess I just he I
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: find him mesmerizing. Yeah, just because of I'm looking like,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: how is this guy the player of the year man
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: just a little you know, not the biggest receiver in
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: the world, but he's out there just grinding away doing
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: his job. Cooper Cup same way. I know Cooper Cup didn't.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Isn't that guy anymore? But yeah, they're just a very
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: they're very unassuming. And that's the word I think that
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: you can very unassuming group.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: And I think that's Donald.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 7: I think it speaks to the way Mike McDonald's is though,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 7: because he's unassuming as well.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: It's so business like. Yeah, it is so business.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 5: Like out there and body their head coach.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: You know what, that's one hundred percent what it is. Yeah,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: it's it's their reflection of the guy at the top.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: By the way, top of the artile Katta and two
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: coaches will find out who does he sound like? Four
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: nine four five one.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: By the way, we have a couple already without even teasing.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: Now we have people on the text ligne.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 7: We have a couple of uh other nominations too, Yeah, exactly,

  Speaker 2: We had we had spicy little chat last night our
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: hockey boys.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, we always do.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: We always Colorado gets knocked out best team in the
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: regular season, not only get knocked out in the conference finals,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: that get swept when, which always leads us to who
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: would you rather be? Who trade places with? All that
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: kind of fun stuff. I do know texting our good
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: friend Kevin Shockey last night, there's a lot of questions
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: in I mean, it's it the the fragile nature of
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: teams have high expectations and get knocked out of a
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: playoff series in any sport, really, in any sport, doesn't matter, right.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: Baseball has that, Football has at it.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 5: But you'd rather not and just not have those like
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: what you're saying, No.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's just when you don't live up
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: to them, or even come close living up to them,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: and you've kind of gone all in, then what do
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: you do? Like they kind of went all in, not
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: kind of they did, and they fall woefully show. You
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: get to the Sailing Cup final and anything can happen.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: But when you get swept in the conference finals by
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: a team that had about twenty less wins than you
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: did in the regular season, there's some soul searching going
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: on in Colorado. And I'm here for it. I'm here
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: for it all day. Listen, you'd rather have their roster,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt, no question, it's not even that's not
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: even a debate. But you do have to ask yourself,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: what do you do your goaltending kind of failed you.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: Your offense really failed you. Your star defense been played.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: I hesitate to say this didn't play hard. I'm not
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: sure if i'd say soft. I know he was hurt. Yeah,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: you find a player left in the fourteenth of the
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: three teams now in the NHL playoffs, it's not hurt.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: Find one. Find a guy that's not banged he like
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: really hurt though. Oh, I'm sure we'll find out he's
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: had like shoulder surgery or something. And and but like
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: like Anahem gets knocked out. You saw like they had
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: like a list of eight guys that had surgery. That
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: happens to everybody, and they took Vegas to six games. Yeah,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: so anyway, they got a lover hate Vegas. They're good
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: for business in the NHL.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: To be honest with you, kind of coming around on them,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie I have.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: I kind of told this to you guys last night.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: So their GM. Kelly McCrimmon was a longtime guy in
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: the Western League. I knew him well when I first
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: got into hockey. He was always nice to me. I
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: really appreciated him. Kelly is he's just a bulldog. George mcfee'
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: is the president of Kelly kind of runs a day
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: to day and that got the gop it. Yeah, their
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: director player personnel worked for us in Tri Cities when
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: I was there, So I mean, I I there's and
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: I like those guys because they have what ed zo?
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: Where's ed zo? I need ed Zo? I needed? They
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: have plums. They put their plums on the table. They
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: put their plums on the table every year. So you
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: got to kind of you kind of kind of respect
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: that as.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 5: Well, So put your plums on the table mentality.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: Well, Kelly McCrimmon has that all day, every day. So
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: they're done. Vegas goes back to the Sanley Cup Finals.
• 1:22:04

• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: here we go. Vegas back in and they'll take on
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: the winner of Carolina and Montreal. They played a night.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: Carolina leaves that best of seven series two games to one,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: so Game four tonight in Montreal as the Canadians try
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: to even things up and find a way to get
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know more than twelve shots on goal, which
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: they did the other day four context. Twelve shots on goal,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: you should probably have that, maybe not in a period,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: but pretty damn plus. Yeah, there's a lot of teams
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: that have twelve shots on goal for period, I mean
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: thirty six for games a lot. But let's just say
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: it like, but you need average about ten let's put yeah,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: that would be good. Yeah, to have twelve for a
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: game plus half an overtime.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: Ain't overtime too, That's crazy.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: Carolina is good. Hate them with every I hate them,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: hate their owner. What are people in Portland are rooting for?

  Speaker 2: season for both teams, has been moved to Sunday, September
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: sixth at Husky Stadium, one o'clock kickoff on NBC, and
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: as I mentioned, probably is going to be part of
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: some sort of double header on NBC. I was right,
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin Notre Dame take one. We'll kick off afterwards. Good
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: day at football.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 5: Ian's gonna be sitting on his couch.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Damn right, hammered by one o'clock, fall asleep by two.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: Jess, you should try that. Yeah, it'll go over really
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 4: well for me.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: He'd be about eight cocktails in by one and I'll
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: have to watch the second half.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: So hey, now we don't know what to expect from
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: our team this year.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: We don't, We don't.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is the first time since I've been
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 7: working with him that they didn't do a spring broadcast. Yeah,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: I think they were keeping I think Kirby's keeping stuff
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 7: in house. I think he's got some secret weapons he
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 7: doesn't want anyone to know about.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: Although that doesn't work anymore because he can't transfer it.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: Used to be they would do that like law school.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Stop doing it because they don't want to like have
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: guys on tape or whatever that Ellison are transferring now
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: portals closed. I think Kirby's just trying to get his
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: p's and q's in order and figure out how.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: He doesn't need the distraction of media.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of a spring game, which those things are worthless anyway,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: They're absolutely worthless, worthless.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: They're good for me as a reporter there, but they're
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: just not It's just so it's such a scrimage.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: It's just such a just scrimmage. Yeah, I do a
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: scrimmage and whatever. Anyway, we move on. We'll get back
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: to college sports in just a couple of seconds. Yeah,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: so that'd be part of a double Wisconsin Notre Dame
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: his late game. Washington Washington State is the early game,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly for Kirby and his team, and be
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: awesome to get a win, have a good showing against
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: a big ten team, not as opposed to what happened
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: last year in Pullman. Would also be a positive for
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: you as well. Are there moral victories? Maybe sort of
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: kind of. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. Maybe keep
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: dem On Williams from goling bananas. Maybe by Dan he'll
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: really just want to get out of here and just leave.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm leaving the money on table. I'm out,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: I'm out done, thanks for coming. You mean by then
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: by the first game of the season. Yeah, they went
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: through fall camp and say I'm out, I'm done. I
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: can't do this anymore. I don't want to play for Jed.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here. I told you guys, I want
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: to get out of here last year. I'm done. I
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: can't be I can't be doing it. Okay. Let's so
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: we had Tyle Katta on earlier.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: He did it.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: Kind of a fun conversation, great interview, just the one
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: thing his kind of taking a butt Clark under his wing.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: If you miss the interview, you can listen to it.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: We have a podcast. Oh kind of talking about Yeah, man,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: that's my job is to make the team better off,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: making Bud Clark better. Who could replace him? That's part
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: of who he just it's a selfless move. It's we
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: talked about unassuming kind of describing this team earlier. It's
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: kind of who and what they are. And I just
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: kind of looked through this just I enjoyed. I think
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: we all at some point enjoyed the drama of the
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: previous Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. It was entertaining as
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: hell at times. There was never a dull moment, felt
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: NBA ish. It was very NBA is never a dull moment.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: Who's mad today, Who's mad at who today? What's going on?
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: Who's going to hold out drama, drama. It was I mean,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: at times it was exhausting covering him, but it was
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: there was always something there. This team is just you
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: mentioned it, Anders, I think it's the reflection of the coach.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: We're just here, we are, let's get through business, let's
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: do our thing. And I frankly, to be honest with you,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: there's I think there's I say, kind of the same
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: thing about the Rams. Yeah, the Rams kind of approached
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: things that way too. McVeigh has got a little more,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: but you know, I mean, but I think there's kind
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: of something about that and how they approach thing. Okay,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: so we had it caught on fun conversation. Immediately after
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: we have him on, Yes, we go to a commercial
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: and Andrews and Jess are in my ear. I'm down
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: at the Virginia based netletix. You who does he sound like?
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: And I was like, and I gave you an answer, yeah,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: because a couple people on the text lines did the
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: same thing, right, but that wasn't who you guys thought
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: it was not. He sounded like, all right, so how
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: do you want to do this?
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: Do you want because we actually have a we kind
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: of tease this a little bit. There's a couple of
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: other coaches nominations. Yes for who tyle kotta sounds like
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: I have a total of four different people.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, do we want to play the game of who's talking?
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: Let's do that and I'll hang on. Let me get
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: a pan. Okay, all right, so.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: Some game show music?
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 5: That's good.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Point, hold on, hold on, I think there is one.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: There's a game show music in there. Find that before
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: we go. Just the first text I called it the
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: text line. The first thing I see tons of flopping
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: the Western count Finals. And you want to tell me
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: this is a blanking product good g T f O
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: h oh yeah, I know what that means.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, thank you.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling you it's a good product. No, I
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: think it's it's impossible to watch. All right, I'm possible
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: to watch anyway, are we good? Okay, so we're gonna
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: play all four. So I'm gonna write down one.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: But there's multiple of each of these people. So there's
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: four different people.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: Though, Okay, So I'm gonna I'll see if I can
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: nail it. All right, this is number one?
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: This is you know what, let's start with? Who should
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: we start with? Yes, let's start with this one.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a special.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 9: Of a group top to bottom as I've ever been around.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 5: It's coaches and players included.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: Who is that play all four? And I'm gonna give
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: you all four?
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: This is number two, Number two.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 9: Like, we're gonna go about our process and approach each
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 9: day the way we need to, and the results are
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 9: gonna take care of itself.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, next number three.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 11: It's about the people for me, and that's a big
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 11: reason that I'm here today. Obviously this is very emotional
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 11: for me, but here I am, and I'm ready to
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 11: get to work.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 5: All right. And then here's number four.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 12: Had a really spirit Uh it was. It was so
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 12: much fun being back out there. Guys were in just
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 12: really love our intent right now. It's been part of
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 12: our our messaging so far this offseason. And we've had
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 12: a really spirited off season program up to this point
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 12: and gone through Phase one and phase two, started Phase
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 12: three obviously today and uh, I thought we had a
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 12: great practice, So we're off. We're off to a good start.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think I've got it.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 7: Okay, but I thought I did, and then I realized
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 7: I was mistaken.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: For one one, two, three, four. All right, So I'm
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: gonna go don't say if I'm right or wrong. People
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: can text it if if they agree. I'm going to
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: say number one is Sean McVay. Number two is Tyle Katta.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: Number three is an interesting one because a few people
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: in the text line had this earlier. I'm gonna say
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: number three is John Gruden, and I'm gonna say number
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: four is Mike McDonald. Did I nail it? You did
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: nail it?
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 5: Ian for now.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: Now, in fairness, I knew who at least two of
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: the other voices would be on there. I knew you
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: had McDonald, and I knew you had McVeigh. Yes, play
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: give me Tylecott again. I'm gonna give you a tile
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: Cott a clip right here.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 9: Every individual that's in this locker room, we have a
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 9: special set of individuals.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: Hey give me give me Sean McVay.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: Sean McVay. That's doing one. We haven't done yet because
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: I have a bunch of different ones.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 9: But I am really grateful for each of those individuals
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 9: and the collective.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: It's like the same quote too, This is really funny.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: Play those back to back real clip.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 9: I am really grateful for each of those individuals and
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 9: the collective, every individual that's in this locker room. We
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 9: have a special set of individuals.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 4: It's funny.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 7: I knew the clips, I cut the Mike McDonald and
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 7: I mixed him up with Tyle Katta, which goes back
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 7: to the overarching umbrella topic that we were talking about,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 7: this team embodying their code.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: So does that bring us to the fact, does tyle
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: Cotta sound like a combination of McVeigh, Gruden and McDonald
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: or I think so? Is that what it is?
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: So I think his voice sounds like Sean McVay, like
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: the actual sound of the voice. Yes, I think what
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: he says is a lot, even though that quote was
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: almost exactly the same. I think it's a lot of
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald talk, and then there's a little like Gruden
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: inflection thrown in there whenever he wants.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: So let's listen to another Akata real.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 9: Okay, we're gonna be playing games late in the season
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 9: and Looman in conditions similar to that, and we'll be
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 9: able to look back at that time and be thankful
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 9: that we prepared the way we prepared.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: God give me a McVay quick, mcvagh this game has
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: brought me some of the most special relationships in our cherish.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 5: That's what this team has done. God, it's the same person.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 9: Well, like, we're gonna go about our process and approach
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 9: each day the way we need to, and the results
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 9: are going to take care of itself.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: McVeigh.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 9: It's a special of a group top to bottom as
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 9: I've ever been around.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: The only difference is the.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: And this the quotes from McVeigh were after the NFC
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: Championship game.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 7: But right.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 5: Is going to be a little strained.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: Like if we got McVeigh, if we got McVeigh right
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: now during ot yeah, it wouldn't sound like this. Gotta
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: love Pooka, he says, o great, like like it would be.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: Be pretty excited about everything that's going on. Again, Okay,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: different gridded.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 11: It's about the people for me, and that's a big
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 11: reason that I'm here today.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 5: Obviously this is very emotional for me.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 11: But here I am, and I'm ready to get to work.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's what I gotta do. I wonder if he'll
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: in training camp. I need to get like scripts from those.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 5: Guys same and see if and see if I would
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 5: read it and see.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: It, like see if it would be the same, God,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: it could sound so much like it.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 5: It's so true.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: But okatta, I think that the overriding theme here though,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: is this tyle Cotta sounds like a coach. Yes, he does,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: Like he talks like a coach, and you.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 7: Witnessed him actually coaching, taking Bud under his wing.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: That was when I'm wandering around, They're like, who do
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: you want. I'm let's get title cot and I'm watching, Yeah,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: bring after a after a Bud Clark runs a couple
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: of reps and team drills. He brings them over and
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: he's talking to him, and I'm like, cool, Like I'd
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: be like, I give these I give these guys a
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: lot of credit. Man. I honestly, if that was, Hey, hey,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: we got a guy and he's getting kind of job
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: shadow and you know, we signed him. We don't know
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen to him yet, but he you know,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: there's he may host a show at some point, maybe
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: even a midday show. I don't know, can you kind
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: of hey, come on in, come on and let me
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: help you out here, let me show you what to do.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: This is what people like in the middle of the day.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: This is what people don't like.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 5: Here's how you do think, Here's how you take my job.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know sports are different, right, It's just
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: it's so he said, McVeigh is so much more rasp here.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, but you said he was again, he kind
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: of has the rasp going on all the time. It's
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: not one for one, but I hear so many similarities.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a little more pronounced.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: Did you guys both say that yesterday?
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, Andrew said it to me and I was like,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: I can't hear it.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: That is because when he the first thing I saw
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: in the text line yesterday when we had him on
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: was people were saying he sounded like McDonald, right, but
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think without even thinking about or
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: listening for a Sean McVeigh in there, he sounded like
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald. And yeah, we got a lot of people
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: to see we got two oh six nailed it McVeigh. Yeah,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: oh wait, no, you got it wrong, like they hi.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 5: Oaks.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he gets so that guy messed it up. This
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: one two six McVeigh, o'cata gruden, McDonald nail nailed it.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: This one McVeigh tye green green.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: It was green green I think probably type Yeah, Gruden
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: is probably what you meant to say.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: How could anybody ever mess up a text?
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 5: My goodness, mister here, I don't know how that could happen.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: The translation Anders and I do.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: McKay McVeigh, Okata, Gruden, McDonald. Yeah, most of you guys
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: got it right. Most of you guys pretty much nailed
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: it with a couple of But yeah.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: It's funny cause didn't think Gruden at all. I did
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: hear a little Mike McDonald yesterday.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I think what the way he what he says? Yes,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: he's parroting Mike McDonald, which just goes back to the buying.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: You know, like like one of the things that that
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: you know, I've seen people kind of walking and talking
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: about a little bit with the situation is with mini camps,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: our OTAs, et cetera. Like last year they one hundred
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: percent buy anybody was there this year it's not like that.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: But it's like there's guys that are there. They're just
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: not coming out of the building sure like Macintosh, Charbonne
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: or I'm sure they're doing the rehab inside with the
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: medical staff or what have you. They're just not on
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: the field. They're I can stand in the rain or
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: what have you. So guys coming off the injuries, DeMarcus
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: Lawrence has got some stuff happened, and he said, did
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: I see he's got like six kids or something. I
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: think he just had or something like that. I think
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: with either him or Fowl or I'm assuming it's him
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: though because his age. So he's doing that. So it's
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: not like like last year a hunt. But it's still
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: the big guys. They're all there. I mean when I
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: look out there and I see Jaron Reid and Ernest
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: Jones and Devin Witherspoon, Julian Love, basically most of the
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: defensive line, I see the whole starting offensive line. I
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: see Jackson Smith and Jagoba Cooper Cup, Rashid Shad, you know,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: all three quarterbacks. Obviously they're always going to be there anyway. Yeah,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: I mean like they they got to buy in that.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: You know, Barnard didn't practice. He's he had like eighteen
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: surgeries in the off season. So I say that, yeah,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: like just kind of like cleaning stuff up and so forth.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they the buy in is there. And then
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: when you do hear a guy like tyle Cott to speak,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: especially talking about his coach. It's it's it's interesting.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: My favorite quote from him was, going back to the
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 3: Bud Clark conversation, was you kind of brought it up
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: and was like, hey, like people don't do that, and
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: you kind of mentioned that earlier with you know why,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: you know, someone wouldn't want to teach someone how to
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: take their job. But his his quote was, were better
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: if he's better? Right, Yeah, it's it's not a me
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: versus you thing. It's a hey, this helps make the
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: team better no matter what.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: I think he probably also is at the point where
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: he feels probably pretty good in terms of his pretty
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: safe stafe on the roster. I mean just I mean,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: but I mean, so.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 7: There's one quarterback, right, you know, there's there's only one quarterback.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 7: And I'm good friends with Alex Sprink, as are you.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 7: And what he has always told me is the sacri
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 7: saying quarterback locker room, Like it is a sacred room,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 7: and everybody's rooting for each other no matter what. And
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 7: I think from the outside looking in, you would think
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 7: that they would be in constant politician, especially for that
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 7: singular quarterback.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: It's different though only sense like usually there's a pecking
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: order that's pretty well set now. It has always been
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: the case because although it was so weird when when
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: Russ left and Gino and Locke and we never saw
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: that competition, So I guess and that's it was. There
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: was a pecking order there. I mean, this pecking order
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: is really simple. It's Lock.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 7: Now, quarterback controversy, Let's go.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 5: Down the roster.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: It's done by numbers.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 5: Is too good.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: It is Donald, Lock and mill Row. It's very it's
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: it's simple, and I'm sure. I mean, ideally, you want
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: you want Jalen to get better, and you want him
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: to you want him to be a guy that you
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: can have active on game days and do something more
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: than just run an option in fumble, right, Like you
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: want him to be able to actually be a threat
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: to throw. Like, listen, there's no besides the handful of
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: of Like I look at the you know, wide receiver.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: There's fourteen wide receivers on the roster at Cup JSN, Horton,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: Bobo and Shaheed are al ox is five yeah, right,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: And I say Bobo only just the contract they gave him.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: He's here.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 5: They wouldn't. Yeah, So so.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: Like out of that five, uh, there's nine other guys
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: probably one spot on the active roster and then maybe
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: two or three on the on the practice there's competition there.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: So this competition is safety even worry Clark Love Okada
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: or all are all guys are going to make the team.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: Who's the other one? Probably is it the Anthony Bell,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: Rodney Thomas A. J.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: Finley?
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: Who knows? So there is some competition, But I think
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: that like with Julie of the preseason, there's probably no
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: player individually who has a spot on the roster who
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: has a more important preseason coming up than Jalen Milroe?
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: Like can't did you improve in the off seat? Did
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: you not just in the offseason, because we haven't seen
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: him since early last year because he was inactive for
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: the most part the second half of the season, and
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: it only took a couple snaps right in a couple
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: of those little trick plays they tried to do gadget plays.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: Did Jalen Milroe improve? Like did he get better? Is
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: there has there been? You know? And and the assumption
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: would be I'm sure he did. You know, he practiced
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: all year. He played the role of sometimes depending on
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: who they were playing, he played the role of a
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: different quarterback on the scout team. But you know, throwing
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: the guys after practice, before practice, stuff that we don't see.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: Did he get better? You know? And is he got
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: Because ideal world, you want Jalen Milroe to be one
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: of your guys active on a game day where if
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: you want to do something, if it is third and short,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: it's not just going to be a run. He's got
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: to be a threat to throw the football as well.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: And did he get better? So, I mean, there's there
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: are things to look at along the way, but I'm
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: still I'm chuckling at some of the texts.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 3: By the way, so you're having quote fun with audio,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: I think that's plagiarism from another show.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Well, we didn't say it was fun with audio. We
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: just compared and contract. We didn't play the open either.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: Yeadn't a game show?
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 4: Does the game shows?
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 5: What's it?
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 13: Dick?
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: As well? All right, Well, I want to recap this
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: real fast before we get to a break, because we
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: we did this earlier. Kind of an interesting story coming
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: out today from the world of college sports. A group
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: of US centers introducing a new bill, some legislation that's
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: it's called the Protect College Sports Act, Uh It is
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: a bipartisan bill, legislation that's been introduced by wait for it,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Maria Cantwell from our state.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: This is not a joke, not a joke.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: It would provide the NCAA with an anti trust exemption,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: which they like and when forced several rules challenging court,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: including limited athletes to transfer schools only one time without
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: a penalty. They want to do that. They want to
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: limit athlete the agility to five years. Prohibit former professional
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: athletes from playing college. That's become a thing, by the way,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: like that has become like go.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 4: Line, don't understand that loophole.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: Well, but the lines are blurred because kids are getting paid, right, right?
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 4: Do you have eligibility?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: It used to be the second you were paying, and
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: the NCAA define payment. Hockey is the best, exactly easy
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: example to use college hockey. It used to be if
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: you played in what we know the Umbrella Group Canadian
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: Hockey League. But just use the Western League, our league,
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: the Western Hockey League, which is part of the age
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: average Seattle, Spokane, tricityes Portland, et cetera. If you played
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: for one of those teams one day the second you.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 5: Stepped on ice. Can't play in college, can't play in.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: College because they receive a stipend, which they consider to
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: be payment.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 4: Wow, as little as a stipend too.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: So they were always considered pro. So you would you
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: had to make the decision do I want to play
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: college hockey? Do I want to play in the DUB
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: or play juniors? That has now changed, you see now
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: these guys they'll play their seventeen eighteen year old seasons
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: as junior players and then they jump and get ANIL deal.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: Gavin McKenna went to Penn State, went from medicine at
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: to Penn State when made a bunch of money last year,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: So the lines have kind of been blurred. But I'm
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: with you, Jess what we saw this year, and we're
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: seeing a little bit more of even in this offseason.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: I think LSU's doing this with a couple guys. We're
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: seeing college basketball end up getting guys that spent time
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: in the G League and they're going back to in
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: CAA basketball Like.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 7: What that That's insane to me. I'm sorry, that's just insane.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: Also, this is a story, this is the one I love,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: and I just this is why I think the bill
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: makes sense. There's so much part and you can always legislation,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: you can cross things out and he go through committee
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: and everything else. But prohibiting schools from poaching a coach
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: from another school during their sports season, yep.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 4: I'm one hundred thousand on board with that.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: And the timing was different because I think when Saban
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: stepped down, But imagine if a couple of years ago again,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: it would have been the smaller playoff, right, But what
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: if Kaylin de Borg got poached during Washington's run to
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: the to the championship game against Michigan. Some people think
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: he kind of did well, not technically right, but if
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: he would have like truly been highest, there were some
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: com that would have How greasy? Would that have been awful? Right?
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: Like just totally greasy? And what what Lane Kiffin did
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: last year leaving Ole Miss and going to LSU and
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: then all at the same time, you're taking players in
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: and you're recruiting players, and you're forcing coaches who are
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: going to come with you to leave Ole. That just
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: should not happen, and it doesn't happen in any other sport.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: Doesn't happen in any other sport. So hopefully those things
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: will be ones they take a peek at along the way,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: all right, four nine four to five one is the
• 1:45:52

  Speaker 15: Hello, Ian, Jamin Andrews, chrism Berrien. I need even ask
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 15: for this, but I still I still want Hawaii in
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 15: the pack. Come on road game for the Cubs Hawaii.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 15: Middle of the fall.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 13: It's vacation and you get to watch tubs. Let's go,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 13: and then I also want UNLV and Nevada. Hopefully that's
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 13: on the docket for the future. Reno Vegas, come on,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 13: let's go. And then it's Mount West stays alive. You
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 13: can absorb Idaho, Idaho, State, Montana, whatever, Goku.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: Hm, Hawaii.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 4: I mean I would love to travel.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I always just look. Well, it doesn't sound like
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: they're there's eight football team members and nine with Gonzaga
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: for everything else. I don't know that the UNLV part
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: still festers out there. We'll get Kenzano on here. At
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: some point there's UNLV's in a pipe drink thick and
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: that that they twelve is going to grab them. I
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: think they haven't. They didn't, probably won't. They think they're
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: above the PAC twelve, which is laughable. They've had one
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: good football season, right, maybe one and a half. Basketball
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: isn't what it used to be. But I'm just looking
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: through so Washington, if you're missing at the Apple Cup.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: Before we get back to text and more talkbacks, the
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: Apple Cup has been announced. It's played on Sunday, September sixth,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: one o'clock at Husky Stadium. That'll be Telavey Is on
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: NBC part of a double header on NBC that day.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin Notre Dame is the late game afterwards, And I'm
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: just kind of looking through. Wazoo's got their entire schedule
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: up in terms of game times and networks now as
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: of today, with the exception of the final game of
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: the year of the FLEX game against Oregon State Saturday,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: November twenty sixth, TBD on everything in terms of TV
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: and time. That's the one there's at least a conversation
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: about in regards to maybe having that game being played
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: in Seattle. So we'll see if that ends up coming
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: to fruition at Liminfield. But they, by my account, the
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: Cougs will be on one, two, three, four, five, six
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: different networks.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 4: That's where we are us, just where we are right now.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: The USA has five games CBS, one CBS Sports Network,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: two CW only one CW game.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of welcome, uh, one on.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: NBC and one on TNT. So there you go, TNT,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: you'll be searching around, YEP. Probably make an argument that
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: all those are better than the old PAC twelve network.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 5: I can all are a better alternative than the old
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 5: tactical Washington schedule.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, we know outside the Apple Cup Game
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: two against Utah State, it's a Big ten Network game
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: that's a twelve thirty Husky Stadium and they play Eastern
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 2: Washington Husky Stadium. That's a four to fifteen game on
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: the Big ten network as well. And then everything after
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: that in terms of networks and times outside of the
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: two Fox Friday night games are t b D for
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: the Washington Horse Skews of Washington. All right, you get
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: some more talkbacks. Nice to do, fire away.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 16: Hey, it's me Clifford on The Clifford Show. They've tried
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 16: moving me down, replacing me with tennis, among other things.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: You can't replace Clifford.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 16: They've got rid of Sue and Meghan, those stupid line
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 16: bikes driving with Dave and others. Clifford is here to
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 16: stay and please welcome today's hard hitting guests, Seattle media
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 16: favorite TJ. Houschman Zada. It's not a conversation, it's a
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 16: celebration with The Clifford Show. Tune in now.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 4: I know you missed him.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 14: I can't.
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: I cannot express in words how much I missed Clifford,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: how much I missed Clifford.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 4: I know I wanted to introduce it as your old
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 4: friend stopping by.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: I wish Clifford was still getting promoted by iHeart. I mean,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened there, right, Eh, we have
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: a rotation. I think. I think if you were to
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: ask our listeners, they much rather hear about what's going
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: on in the Clifford Show than line bikes or what's
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: the new one? Is the tennis one? Or no, it's
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: Jonas Brothers.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 4: But those those are kind of funny.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: They sound fine. I'm not sure if the demographic for
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: the Jonas Brothers is wait for it, a sports radio station.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 4: No, it's an iHeart station, though it might be all right?
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: Do you have another talkback? One more?
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 8: Hey, Ian, Seattle sports guy here with another update on
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 8: your Seattle sports. Last week, there was mass confusion as
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 8: Mariners skipper Dan Wilson sent out Pete Woodward and then
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 8: went right subsequently out after him.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 4: Did not know the rule to make a pitching change.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 8: When asked after the game, Dan Wilson said he.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 5: Was just trying to piggyback off his pitching coach, much
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 5: like they do with.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 16: Our pitchers for no apparent reason.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 4: Quick update there, We'll check in later this week. Two
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 4: of your friends that you missed.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: A Oh goodness me, goodness me. All right, let's go
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: to the text line four nine four five. I have won.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 4: A lot of people got it correct when it came.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 2: Between McVeigh and McDonald and and John Gruden. Yeah, I
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 2: did see a lot of those. This one I just
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: got to read just for giggles. Daily reminder fired Jerry
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: to Poto and Dan Wilson. Hang on, let me check
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: the score. Nine to nothing, Seattle sweep of the A's
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: first place when they come home, Fire to PoTA. One
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: will please tell me that's tongue in cheek.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 7: I mean it could be because making fun of those
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 7: who are constantly calling for their heads.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 4: Yes, it could be. I'm choosing to believe it's satire.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: We talked about the college football proposals, got a lot
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: of texts on that coming in today as well. Basically
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 2: people are kind of in. I mean, people are basically
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: in on everything that said, Wait, everyone needs ten years
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 2: of eligibility, so b HYU is the only team with
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: grown men. Exactly. You don't need ten years of eligibility.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: You don't need six years of eligibility for being honest, right, Like,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: why do you need six years or I mean medical
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 2: red shirt, I get, but for five to play fours.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 4: Simple as that gray shirt red shirt.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: Ian bigger picture. I want to know if the college
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: football proposal on the table mentions anything about making it
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: easier for schools to realign back to more traditional conferences
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: or is that gene ever getting back in the bottle.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that think we're going to
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: see some more geographic conferences down the road.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 7: I am on that one hundred percent. I think it's
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 7: gonna self correct out of failure. Yes, I just think
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 7: that the super conferences might actually happen, you know, regardless
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 7: of what this you know, if this bill passes or not.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 4: I think they're going to happen, and they're going to say.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 7: Oh wait, hold on, let's align them geographically and we'll
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 7: go back to what we had.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: So the SEC still doesn't want to see the football
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: playoff expand Kirby Smart, the head coach for Georgia, guy
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: that would probably have as much juice as any coach
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 2: in the country, says that if an argument can't agreement
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: can't be reached on expansion, spending, the ni l Era
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: and beyond, perhaps the SEC should try to go it alone.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 2: We're not even talking about consulting with the Big ten.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 2: Just be on their own, he says, quote, I've said
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: this for a long time to our president. I've been
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 2: a huge advocate that if we can't find rules that
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 2: everybody plays by, then we should just play our own.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not afraid of that. I'm not afraid to break
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: away and say our conference is strong enough to go
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: out and play.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 11: So, so.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, succeed from the from from the NC double A.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, the only way that works is that the
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: Big ten goes with you.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 4: But I've heard of that.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: He's talking about strictly SEC.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: So you play a regular you play a regular season,
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: then you maybe have a fourteen playoff and two playoffs.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, you're too smart for that.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: You're too smart for that. Everyone the whole let's just
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: do our own thing, SEC Big ten. But then the
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: Big ten is on the same page with the SEC.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: So that's not going to work, right Like, that just
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't work. It's a mess, absolute mess. Okay, as the
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 2: genie back in the bottom, I don't know, maybe we'll see. Okay,
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: let's do do do do. Relegation would be football. Whisk
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 2: about relegation earlier and I was brought that up. The
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: relegation would be football only. College football will be its
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 2: own entity, just will be named college football.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 4: I mean it kind of.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 2: Here's why again you always have to say, okay, sounds
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 2: good in theory, what's the big red flag? What would
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: not work well? Now, this is a whole different argument,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 2: whether it's right or wrong. But why is college football?
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: Like what does college football do for an institution? It
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: keeps every other sport afloat? Yes, and with that come
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: the scholarships which are based on Title nine et cetera.
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 2: All those things so right, Like, I don't know if
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: you like, because people bring that up all the time.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: All cultureable just go on his own. Okay. So if
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: Georgia and Kirby smart football, the money they bring in,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: the success that they have, they prop up the rest
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: of the athletic department. Is that going to fly with
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: an administrator, with a school president, with a board of regions,
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 2: sport of trustee. No, no, no, I don't think so.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 2: If it does, what ends up happening is a lot
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: of other student athletes lose the ability to get maybe
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 2: a much needed scholarship or go to college. And if
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: you want to just say well tough, then fine, that's you.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: I think the one thing about college sports is pretty
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 2: cool is the opportunities that does give those who want
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: an education to get an education. Correct, like that's a
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: good thing. Okay, let's see some of them.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 7: Did ask you to the next time you talk to
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 7: ty tyo Kotta is to make him say Spider two?
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 4: Why banana?
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: Say what now?
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 4: Spider two? Why banana?
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 2: Was that a big Vay term or something?
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 7: It's remember that Spider two by banana. It actually makes
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 7: a lot of sense. Basically, if you picture a banana
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 7: what that play is, it does make sense.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: Two five to three. A few things about Tylecott. Is
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 2: uh going to be successful outside of football. You can
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 2: tell by the way he speaks. Second of all, he
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: sounds like he's an NFL head coach already. And lastly,
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 2: he sounds like Sean McVay. Yes, all those things are.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 5: True, all those things, all those things are true.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 2: TCU kicked NCS asked my I said Baylor earlier, right,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you for correction. It was TCU.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let's see.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 2: Tom about the comparing the two teams earlier two five
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: to three. I think the main difference between the LB
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: team and this team is there was a build up
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: with the LV team to where you knew that was coming.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 2: The following season. This team kind of came out of nowhere.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: Question about quarterback new oc dk leaving old line questions
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: very unexpected. That's why it's an even more impressive coaching job. Yeah,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: there was a bill like the guy was talking about yesterday,
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 2: just in terms of the personality this team. I said
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 2: that it was wild because in twenty twelve, when the
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: Seahawks went on that run of the end of the year,
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: got a wildcard. Berth went to Washington beat RG three
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: in the Commanders and Kirk Cousins went into play because
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: RG three blew was knee out. They beat They won
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: that game. The next week they go to Atlanta take
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: on Matt Ryan Juo Jones that group, Matt Bryant misses
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: the field goal that then repeat called the time out,
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: So because of that they got to take the field
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: goal again. They win it in overtime. Like as disappointing
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: as it was, you kind of did feel like that
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: was maybe the start the start. Yeah, right, that was
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: like the very best rookie season. Yeah, that was Russell's
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: rookie season. That was that was the beginning, and there
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 2: was a lead up in the next year. They just
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 2: rolled through and win the division a number one seed.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 2: You're right, because twenty twenty four, two years ago no playoffs,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: had a winning record under Mike McDonald won ten games,
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: but no playoffs. They were eliminated before they kicked off
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: that final game in Arizona, and that was I don't
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 2: know it was Arizona's I think it might have been Arizona.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 5: Anyway, they were definitely a division game, Yeah, they were.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: They were eliminated, so that did happen. So it was
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit different in that regard. Okay, in terms
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: of our promost two five three Jonas Brothers still might
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 2: be better than listening to Megan Repino line bikes. We yeah,
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 4: Well, they had to cancel that one.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Portland sucks. Text of the day. This is sad.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 2: The Lloyd Center officially closes August eighth, ri ip Lloyd Center.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 2: If people in the Lloyd Center would be kind of
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: the equivalent of Northgate in a sense, maybe kind of
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: North katesh kind of like there one of their original malls.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 7: Gotta be like Northgate, I guess in the city, and
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 7: that doesn't exist really anymore.
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 2: It's it's called Cracking Community Ice Box, right.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 5: I know, there's just and there's like I think there's
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 5: a couple building Barnes and Noble.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 2: There's a couple things there.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 4: America.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's sad Man the Wood Center. What I
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 2: think the Woyd Center is famous for to date, everybody
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 2: here me included. Uh they had an ice rink in there.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 2: You know, you know who practiced on that ice drink?
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 4: No way, Oh my gosh, did you watch I? Tanya?
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 5: I need to It's so good.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 4: Margot Robbie is amazing.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: We had we had her in studio a couple of
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 2: times when I was in Portland.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 4: Tanya was she? Where was she in her career when.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 2: Single wide in Vancouver? I think is where we were
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 2: at at that point. She was She was a treat
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's where the pre Olympics, pre pre cracking
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: of the pipe across uh Nancy Kerrigan's knee and all
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: that she she would practice. They had an ice rink
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 2: there and she would practice at the lay Center ice
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: rink they had an ice rink in there. It's a bummer.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 2: I hate stuff I like, I hate seeing stuff closed
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 2: down and just kind of ages us. All but so,
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say Portland sucks. I just that's the
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 2: world we live in. It also tells you something too,
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 2: that's where the that's like borderline walking distance to the
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 2: motor center. I say borderline. It's a little bit of
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: a hike, but not too far. That's the problem with
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 2: the Motive Center. There's nothing around it.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been down there social times.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: Nothing around it.
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 5: I mean there's a river and everything, but there's nothing.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 9: On the river.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, there's bridges and that's it.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 4: You have to watch it.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: It's on Netflix.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 7: I got an advanced copy of it through a promotion
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 7: one time, so I had it on DVD, but I
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 7: watched it online later.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 4: It's I think it's Netflix, all right. All right, Alison.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 5: Janny I like her. Yeah, from what she was unbelievable.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 4: She plays her mom.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool and she was a beast. I'll check it out,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: all right, We'll take a break. Come back, soft Do
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 2: you join us next? All right? Dick Fane is here,
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: Softy is off today. Nothing like taking a Wednesday off.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: I might as well take a Wednesday off, right, Yeah? Absolutely,
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 2: So they announced Apple Cup is a Sunday. Did you
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 2: see that?
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 5: All?
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 14: Right?
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: Apple Cup is Sunday, September sixth, day before Labor Day,
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 2: one o'clock kickoff on NBC. It's part of an NBC
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 2: double header. Wisconsin Notre Dame is the late game. Yeah.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: I was like, I I called. I checked with Purple
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: Sheet and Soften like, is this because Wazoo put their
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: kickoff times out for all their games they've already They've
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: got all except for the final one, the Flex game
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: that they may end up playing at Lumen Field against
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: Oregon State. We'll see, uh Thanksgiving weekend. But they put
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: out their TV schedule and their all their game times
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: today and I'm like, go on through, Oh, well that's
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: weird one o'clock on a Sunday. Who's Oh it's Washington. Yeah,
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 2: so that's Washington one o'clock at Husky Stadium on a
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: Sunday on NBC.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 5: So should get decent viewership?
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of. I guess it's a standalone right,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 2: So a standalone game, And like I said, the first
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: half of a double header.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 5: And it makes sense to utilize a Sunday for football.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I think like that's kind of been that conversation
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 2: for a while with college football, is why do you
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: just kind of let Labor Day go to Saturday and
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 2: then Sunday just sits there. Sometimes there's like one game.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 5: Sometimes one game Sunday and then one game Monday night.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 5: That's usually a pretty good one.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: Which is usually name your ACC team.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 5: Versus an SEC team. Yeah, it was like Florida State
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 5: LSU last year or something like.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: No, last year. Remember last year was interesting? Last year
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 2: TCU Bill Belichick in North Carolina. Oh and it was
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 2: an absolute ass kicking, which basically the entire country enjoyed.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's right.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, don't you feel like every Monday, every Labor Day,
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: don't you always feel like you turn it on at
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 2: like four thirty five and it's like, hey there's either
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 2: or hey there's a floor state that's right, I guess
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: whoever right?
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 5: And I always like I love it. I'm like, okay,
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 5: football seasons here, I want to be watching them if
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 5: I'm not going any place for Labor Day holiday, which
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 5: I usually am not no, because usually still in the
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 5: storm season, we're walking, we're getting ready for you know,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 5: there's a Husky game that weekend, so I'm usually not
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 5: going anywhere.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: So you guys have a longer season too though, issue right.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, well yeah, because we have a month off for
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 5: the for the FOEBA World Championships. So we started early
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 5: and we're ending late. So we started like May seventeenth,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 5: and we're going to like September nineteenth, Like it's a
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 5: really long season.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: That's a really long shit Mariners have just how about
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: that completed first place? The three game set ware that
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 2: standings they lock off the Sacramento Vegas Oakland A's nine
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: to one, and the Al West standings have been updated.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 2: The twenty eight and twenty nine Mariners are now a
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 2: half game above the twenty seven and twenty nine Athletics.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 5: I take a picture of those standing and a game.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 14: I'm tweeting those out right now, and they're a game
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 14: and a half clear of the four games under five
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 14: hundred Texas Rangers, three and a half games clear of
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 14: the eight games under five hundred Houston Astros.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 2: In they called the Pacific Division in the NHL this
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 2: season a pillow fight. Yes, that's what we're looking at
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 2: the Pacific Division, or I guess you could say the
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: NFC South from last year yep, yeah, or what last year?
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: Last year was eight and nine, yep, Carolina, eight and nine, Carolina.
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 5: I think we all agree that at some point this team,
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 5: and maybe it's now, maybe it's now, at some point
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 5: this team catches its stride, stretches that lead out and
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 5: you know, maybe Texas is kind of with them for
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 5: a while. But I still think this is at least
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 5: a high eighties, I mean, which is going to be
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 5: plenty to win this division. Plenty.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: I think they were on as of mollywat Monday. I
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 2: think they were on pace for a seventy five wins
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: season as of Monday. Now it's they've won three games
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 2: since then, right, so it's it's it can change in
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 2: a heartbeat that pace like eighty yeah. So and like
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 2: you said, eighty three wins this division probably.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Texas will probably be somewhere around or
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 5: slightly better than five hundred. Just to feel comfortable, I
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 5: think you need to be somewhere in the mid eighties.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: You just want to also have a better record than
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: the central team, right, Yes, that's big, that's the other
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna have to You're not going to have
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: a better record than the AL East champion, correct, unless
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 2: something crazy happens. Logan Gilbert goes six innings, five hits,
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: no runs, two walks, six strikeouts. So he comes back
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: with the guys, Yeah, looked really good in that. Kurtz
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 2: looked foolish on a strike three one. Kurts goes back
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 2: to back Ophers about that he's had his on base
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: streak snapped yesterday, and he goes oh for four today,
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 2: So that's a good thing. And some guy named Julio
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez hit a home run his tenth of the year,
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: eight in the month of May.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 5: About that ties a career high. How about your run differential? Now,
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 5: what would it go? Nine to two? Was it nine
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 5: to one today or nine nine to one? So you
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 5: run a difference was plus twenty four? I mean, you're
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 5: third behind the Yankes and the Rays in the American League.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe, how in God's name are you below five hundred?
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 5: Well, because they have lost a lot of one run games.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 2: They are in the lose a one run they're seven
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 2: to twelve I think, right, seven and twelve and one
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: and four in extra innings. So you either lose a
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 2: one run game or you boat race somebody. Yes, there's
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 2: nothing in between. Yes, and you only win when he
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 2: hit home runs well in a couple of three run blasts. Yea,
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 2: everyone's favorite guy, Rob Refs Snyder, Oh yeah, so offt
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 2: he called the turnaround. It was just like four days
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 2: too early. His Uh, he had a three run home
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 2: run in the first inning, so he gets he gets that,
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: he gets some going a little bit. I mean, he's
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 2: everybody's he's everyone's favorite guy. To just absolutely ham run.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 2: He did raise his average. Now he's hitting one twenty
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 2: two on the seasons.
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 5: As Rob refs, just see what Luke Rayley did today.
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 5: I did not. It was took an app bat against
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 5: the left handed pitcher. Whoa, whoa in the night whoa.
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 5: Well he was over too, so obviously he didn't do well.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 5: It was a line drive to center, good piece of hitting.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 16: Good.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 2: Dickie barreled up on that, barreled up on that Velcy
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 2: just didn't just went to a glove. But it's an
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 2: exit vel on that So God anyway, Yeah, it's good.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you go down there that we we've
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 2: all kind of thought that the athletics were frauds, right,
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 2: that's that's like, let's go prove their fraudulent they did.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: They get the win, They get the three wins. Nice
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 2: way to start. And then Arizona coming up here is
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 2: on a little bit of a heater right now, so
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 2: we'll see what see what that's all about this weekend.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: But they do get a day off.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 5: They've been this team has been highly intriguing. And you know,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 5: we talked about it yesterday and I heard you, you know,
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 5: you were you were referencing our conversation about, you know what,
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 5: whether we're interested in the Mariner of the Seahawks, O
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 5: t As versus the Mariners. I find myself in late
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 5: May being more interested in the day today Shenanigans, and
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 5: I mean Shenanigans of his baseball team, because sometimes it's
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 5: good Shenanigans like today, and sometimes it's shake your head Shenanigans. Well,
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 5: I'm more interested in this than I ever have been,
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 5: I think in late May, which makes me less interested
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 5: in my Super Bowl champion Seahawks.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 2: And I was trying to figure out, then, what is
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 2: your co host? What is he interested in? Because he
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to look at standings in baseball until June.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 5: Yep, cover it up till June. And he doesn't care
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 5: about off season Seahawks stuff. So I think he cares
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 5: about the Mariners on a daily basis. He just doesn't
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 5: care about the record. Okay, But like I don't really
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 5: care about the record. I don't quite figure I can't
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 5: quite figure that out. I'm kind of with him in
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 5: the fact that I don't care about our record right now.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 5: I want to know are we short healthy in the
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 5: short term, healthy in the mid term, and healthy in
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 5: the long term. I think we're very healthy in the
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 5: long term, other than the fact that I don't know
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 5: if our manager can manage his way out of a
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 5: paper bag in a playoff situation.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 2: Well, he was, I do in his defense, I think he.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 2: I think he was. He's been putting a really one thing,
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: just the one thing, the whole piggyback thing. I think
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 2: he's been putting a batchua like he's got to execute
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 2: something coming from far up above him. Now, we had
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: Daniel Kramer on from MLB dot com earlier, and he
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 2: had he wrote a great story at MLB dot com
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: about just the lack of communication and that was the problem. Well,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 2: Dan's supposed to be the great communicator, so if Jerry
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 2: and Justin aren't doing it, then dann problem Dan should
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: do it. So that's that should be in a sense
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 2: on him. Now the scause.
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 5: Luis should never be that pissed off to after being
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 5: taken out of a game in that situation, because he
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 5: should have been told what was happened.
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: But I think what was happened. I'm guessing with him
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 2: just to guess that the the frustration probably came from
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: in that in that second piggyback game, there was no
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 2: flexibility like this is you're gonna throw x pitches x
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 2: innings and then Bryce's whereas in Bryce's game he went
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 2: an extra inning because he had the no hitter going
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 2: and then as soon as that goes away, even though
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: there's two outs, let's go to the bridge guy and
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 2: bringing far rare and which was weight which could not
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 2: have been part of the plan, right because Castille's warming
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: up right in the boy he's got and that whole
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 2: thing was handled. So I'm sure if I'm him, I'm
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 2: just gonna liked him, like, okay, wait to.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 5: So you gave Bryce the win as a starter and
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 5: then you gave Bryce the win as a reliever to.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 2: Which you know, we talked about this Christ and nath
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 2: the other day. Like I know, in the grand scheme
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 2: of things, Pitcher wins, Felix, Ronanasai Young, they don't mean
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 2: much's correct, but you know what they matter to the
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 2: individual player they do because there's no you know this,
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 2: there's no sport in the world that is more based
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 2: Your success is more based on your individual numbers, first glance,
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 2: individual numbers. No matter what the analytics are these days,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 2: we're gonna pitture, what's his record, what's his era, what's
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 2: up guy's batting average on bass ops, all that stuff,
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 2: And yeah, getting that win is big, like that whole
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 2: thing the way it's been handled. So yeah, it's there
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 2: is drama, yes, And here's the which is all we
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 2: can that's all we need as radio show hosts, right,
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 2: And which is And here's the other thing. And this
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 2: is why I brought this up earlier today talking to
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: a couple of people when I was at Ota yesterday.
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 2: You know where there's no drama. The Seahawks like to
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 2: the point of boring. Yes, I thought, I thought Jess
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 2: said it right. They're perfectly boring. They're perfectly boring.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 5: That's just what you want because everyone's.
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 2: Like basically everyone's there. No one's complaining. The offensive Player
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 2: of the Year, offensive MVP of the NFL is out
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 2: there in the rain and the drizzle running routes, not complaining.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 2: Devin Withers been waiting for contracts, still doing stuff like
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 2: back in the day twenty thirteen, I would have been
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. Spring of twenty fourteen. I bet if we
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 2: look back, there was like eight storylines that all were like, oh.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 5: My god, well twenty fifteen, you can't chances are holding
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 5: out in twenty sixteen, Earl standing there holding out with
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 5: armsfold and watching practice every day, that's right? And when
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 5: was Marcia on Lynch sitting there with that?
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 2: Every is next to every day? Paul Outen every day
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: every day. Marsha I can't tell you how many times
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure having to go out there all the
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 2: times I have over the years, how many times I
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 2: see Marshawn actually practice with the offense. Maybe you can
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 2: handle count on five fingers, because normally he's playing grab
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: ass with the d lineman yep or riding his single
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 2: seed seed single speed bike bias, you know, ringing the bell.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 5: I can hardly remember watching him take a practice here. So, yeah,
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 5: they're perfectly boring, which is fine. You want that, Yes,
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 5: a reflection the coach.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the baseball team, which is going to win the
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 2: Ale West, right, like they're gonna win the Ale.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 5: West, And that's what keeps it relevant. Right If they
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 5: just sucked and they had tons of drama, we would
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 5: get tired of talking about the drama.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 2: You know what would be boring is if they were
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 2: sitting there. So Arizona comes in here at thirty and
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 2: twenty four. Let's let's say Seattle was thirty one and
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 2: twenty three right now and leading the division by like
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 2: six games, and there's no piggyback. It's just their cruising through.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 2: We'd be liked, be boring, be boring as hell. Then
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: we'd have a boring football team and a boring baseball team.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mariners being interesting. We appreciate your sometimes maddening,
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 2: but interesting. That's who you are are. You got coming up.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 5: Today, Mike Florio in fifteen minutes, talk a little football
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 5: with him. Petros Papa Dagas. We'll talk piggyback with him, Okay,
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 5: I bet he'll like well, he still does that. We'll
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 5: also talk about run it Forward with him. We'll see
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 5: if he likes the new lingo of Mike McDonald.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 2: All Right, my guess is he won't. But okay, he
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't like anything, so that's good.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 5: Larry Stone, five o'clock, a little more baseball.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 2: So he was going to join us. He was with you, yes, Hi, Hugh.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 2: Yet hey, Hugh, you will dial.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 5: Up in three minutes and thirty two seconds.
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 2: All right, see all right for
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 5: The mild mannered and marginally objectionably in forness, this is
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 5: paddle day, saying so long everyone,
