• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you started here on this Thursday morning, I will say
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this though, you know I always make an observation. It
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: seems on the drive in do you ever have that
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: person at your office place that is wearing way too
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: much of the cologne or the perfume. Yeah, you know
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that person. I know that person. I always think of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: this very nice person I used to work with in Phoenix, Nina,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And for some reason, she always wore this like all
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: purple sweatsuit like once a week, okay, and very nice person,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: very very and yet she you could smell her coming. Oh,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and it was just a lot, a lot of perfume.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: We used to work with someone in our old building
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: that you wore a lot of perfume. But it was
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: because she smoked and didn't want people to know she smoked. Oh.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I think that was maybe part of this too, was
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: like I'll cover it up with perfume, no one will know.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: And it's like, actually I can smell that you smoke
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: through the curtains of your perfume.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And then she would come up and then she would
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: like deliver. She was like the traffic person, so she'd
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: deliver some stuff almost every day, and then it would
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: just stain the air. And it wasn't a bad smell,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it was just too much. Yeah you know what I mean. Uh, Well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I think I've got somebody that topped her this morning,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: because you know, you drive down the road, and you can,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like really, you can smell marijuana that clearly, and then
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you can smell it for like the next hour, like
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: not hour and a half, but mile and a half.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about somebody that's smoking
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: marijuana in their car, but if there's smoke gets into
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: your car, oh yeah, it permeates, yeah, and it just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: stays with you. I had somebody's cologne do that today?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Who So somebody from their vehicle had so much cologne
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: on that it acted like marijuana and it wafted into
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: my car. And then I took that cologne smell all
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the way down Mercer to work.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: What.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Now, that's a lot of cologne.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: That that poor person, that man must have first good.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Probably it's fried nostrils, though, because if you're putting that
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: much on, you have no idea killed your nose.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you had no idea. Yeah, how powerful it really is.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: But you'd think, though, you still know how much you
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: should put on.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, you still know the squirts. You should know
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the squirt level. Yeah, you should know. Everybody should know
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: their squirt level. I would think, but I don't know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just like I don't know anything else in life, Like,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: if you've built yourself up to be in a four
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: donut person, it probably did start at one, and then
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you went one and a half, Yeah, and then you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: went to you know, whatever the case might be, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the next thing you know, you're a four donut person.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And probably if you wear if you've worn the same
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Colonne all your whole life with your four donuts, I think, well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I don't smell it anymore, right.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm sure that's what happened.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It's yeah, he's been wearing that colone since nineteen twenty three.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Apparently it's sympathy that I have for I don't know
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: what his name is, let's call him Clifford. Clifford, I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: have sympathy for you. But yeah, somebody needs to let
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Clifford know it's way too much. If your cologne can
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: go into another person's car, yeah, on the road and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: then staying the other person. And it actually was a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: good smell, smelled really good. So you've chosen a good one, Clifford. Uh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it's just you are way over your squirt level.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're oversquirted. Got to dial it back.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: As a little That's pretty much it. You could even
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: puff and walk through. If you want, you can do
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a puff and a walk through. Yeah, I think probably.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I mean I did the but you know, those things
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: are pretty powerful. You can probably get away.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: With just yeah, you can, although I will agree like
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: you need it, like evenly dispersed.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: There's nothing you don't want, like right there, just on
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the call, the only place you can smell it. Well, yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I think I don't think men do the puff and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: walk through, But then again probably that. I have not
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: been around a lot of men getting ready to go
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: out o that wear their cologne.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: So you're missing out?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Am I missing out? Is that something to miss out? Okay,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: find out from Clifford. I would imagine they're a lot
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: more on time. That's I'll tell you that much.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I will tell you that much.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, Clifford, be careful out there and don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: cause any accidents with your oversquirting. Good morning. We are
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: ready to go here on this Thursday. We're gonna take
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you till ten o'clock here today and then hand things
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: over to Greg Bell. All sorts of fun topics to discuss.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: We're all over the sports world, and last night there
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: was no sporting event. I don't remember the last time
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't have a sporting event to watch, and it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: is great. I mean, I love sports. I mean I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing this, and considering how much of it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I watch, I don't really get sick of it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is surprising, actually, yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I mean there are times in the football season where
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you get to Monday night and like, I just watched
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a Friday night Big Ten game all day Saturday, all
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: day Sunday. And I don't typically do that, by the way,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I do take a break at some point during the weekend,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: even football season, but there are some weekends where it's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: like I can't miss that game, right, and that's stacked
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: on that game, right, and then I gotta watch the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Husky game. And so the next thing you know, you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: have watched a triple header, and then you watch a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: triple header on Sunday and seriously, Monday, I gotta watch
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: more football? Does happen? But considering how much I watch,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's sort of like Clifford and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: his cologne, like I'm watching too much, but I don't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: even realize it because of how much I watched.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, if it wasn't it's only when it's not
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: there that all of a sudden you realize, wait a minute,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: how much was I watching?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, exactly. I mean the doctor always says, I,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you watched too much.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: They always ask you how much? How many sporting events
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: are you watching each week? And I always lie, I'm
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: always like one to two a night.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Why do we do that? Why can't we just be honest?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Because they judge with our doctor, they judge how many
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: sporting events we watch? Were always judging us. But so, yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it was nice. It was nice. I didn't have to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: worry about it. Went and had a dinner outdoors, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: had a just a couple of glasses of wine, nice meal,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: sat outside sunset, so you got the It was a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: warm until the sunset.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, once the clouds came in, that got a little chile.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Oh really Yeah. I wish I would have been out
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: for that woods. Yeah, but so it was nice. It
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was nice not to have it. But of course there
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: was a sporting convent that happened last night. The Open
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Championship got started at what ten thirty. Brady Cannon, who
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: we have on before every major, he did text me
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and wanted to know where his pajamas were, so I'd
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: need to make that a tradition. Really need to remind
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: me and I'll try. Yea, yeah exactly, and we'll see
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: if we can get to that. But yes, it's underway
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the Open Championship in Southport, England at Royal Birkdale. Alex
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Smally is leading with one hole to go in his
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: first day at five under, but some pretty solid scores
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: so far. Of course, isn't playing too difficult. It feels
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: like I didn't watch a lot of it, to be frank,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: but then again, it did start at ten thirty last night.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Start at ten thirty? Right? Oh no, how many Mariner
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: games I'd be sticking around for if they all started
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: at ten thirty.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Well, it depends on how they're playing.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: That's true, Yeah, that's true.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, if they're playing a lot of
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the ones I've seen, definitely wouldn't.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have updates for you live from Royal Birkdale
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: twenty after and we'll start them right away today. We'll
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: get to one at six twenty here this morning. Scotty
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Scheffler is at three under. At this point I thought
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Rory was going to win this tournament to kind of
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: close out what has been a really eventful year for him.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: But I'm not even seeing him anywhere near the I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's off yet. Oh he hasn't even
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: teed off yet. Yeah, there's still a lot of the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: seeing if he has or hasn't.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I don't see his name there either, so oh yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: there he is.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: He off at seven fifty retire. Yeah he's done. Yeah,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he said I can't with this all right, So he hasn't.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So he hasn't even teed off yet. So there are
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys let yet to hit the course
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: at Royal Birkdale. But Scotty Scheffler is at three under.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And I brought this up briefly at the end of
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the show. Yes, and I'm not sure Ashley was agreeing
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: with me on it. But this is not really criticism.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not really criticizing either of these elite golfers McElroy
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: or Scottie Scheffler. But there was a piece of audio
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that made its way around about they were asked about
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: how do you think you're gonna feel one hundred years
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: from now about your legacy? And they both looked at
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: each other and they were like, we're gonna be dead.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Who cares, yeah, and that was sort of their reaction
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to it. And you know, honestly, that is the truth.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: But it really is. And this isn't anything that I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: am internalizing. This is me being in sports talk radio
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: since I was nineteen years old, and so I've watched
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a few careers in my life unfold, and to me,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it is and Ror is not exactly a young athlete anymore,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: but considering the sport of golf, he still has. I mean,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you could argue he's still in his prime and he's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: got a lot of golf left left in his career.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: But it's the kind of comment that somebody that is
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: on the top of their game, that has made a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: mountain of money, that you know, all the girls still
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you know, are interested in, and the type of guy
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that you know still has his young kids that run
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: toward him after every tournament. Like things are really good
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: for Scottie Scheffler and Rory McElroy to the point now
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that they can they don't have to really worry about
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: some reporters feelings and they can pretty much say on
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the podium that's a stupid question or that's ridiculous, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I don't care, and they can be dismissive. That's the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: stage they're in. And I've watched plenty of athletes in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: their prime sit there when they're on top of their game,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: they're on top of their financial moneymaking ability, they have
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: accomplished a lot already. They still have a lot to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: go if they want to. But a lot of them
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: act like legacy, I don't care about legacy. I don't care.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I don't care about legacy, And they give that attitude
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: like I could walk away from this game right now
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, and I don't care
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: who it is. With the exception of like Robert Smith
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and Barry Sanders and Patrick Willis and a few guys
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that shocked the world by stepping away from the game
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: when they had a lot left in the tank. Those
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: are guys, those are that's a different breed. But the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Barry Bonds of Barry Bonds at twenty eight was saying
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I don't need this game anymore at twenty eight. Then
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: we had to kick him out of the league at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: forty three because he wouldn't go away. I mean, all
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: this scandal and all of this controversy, and he had
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to be told go away before he went away, not
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: publicly but privately. But it happens to so many of
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: them that when they're in their prime, they're very dismissive
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: about things like legacy. And then all of a sudden,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the sports world not as many people are attending their
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: press conferences, and they're not at the top of the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: leader board much anymore, and they're not winning every tournament
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: or they're not a factor on Sundays as much anymore.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, their wife doesn't think
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it's as cool a thing to be married to Rory
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: McElroy now that he's not as not as in demand
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: as he once was. And his kids are now sixteen
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and seventeen, and they've got green hair, and they're angry
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that you weren't around for my youth because you were
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: out playing golf all the time. I mean, this is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: what happens. And then the next thing, you know, you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: know what happens. Then they start putting everything in perspective,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and now they start missing that prime and now they're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: like out to prove I still can do this, I'm
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: still the best. And now they do start thinking about legacy.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And then the next thing, you know, they can't let
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: it let go. Then they can't walk away from the game.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It's happened. Wait, and I'm not saying that's gonna happen
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to Rory McElroy. I'm not saying that's gonna happen to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Scotti Scheffler. Maybe they are two that have everything in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: perfect perspective. I'm just saying, be careful being snied about
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that and being dismissive about that, because most athletes do
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: reach a point where you are at the end of it,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and then you do think about legacy, and then all
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, that's all you're about. I mean, Tiger
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Woods keeps trying to come back from thirty different injuries
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: because he wants that one last glorious moment. Michael Jordan
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: came back and played for the Wizards. I mean he
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: walked away from the game at age twenty eight to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: go play baseball. For goodness sake. Every single boxer retires
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: at twenty five years old, and they think that they
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: don't need to do it anymore, and yet Floyd Mayweather
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: is still fighting on occasion. So it is something this
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: sports world like when you are at the top of it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It is a drug. It is something that a lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of us can't relate to. And then when that drug
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: starts being taken away from you, you start having withdrawal
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, you do. It does
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: hit you hard when you're forty five years old, fifty
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: two years old, maybe as a golfer and you're struggling
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to make the cut at the latest major routinely, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're like, legacy is all that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I need, That's all I'm about right now. So I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: hope that they're the exception, but typically the rule is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that it will catch up to them and those questions
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: about legacy will become very important to them. Not to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: mention not worthy of being just outwardly dismissed or your
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: eyes roll or you tell a reporter that's a dumb question,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: because it will matter to them at some point down
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the line, and if not, they're one of the exceptions.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I think part of it was the brandness and the
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: timing of the question. You know, you're getting ready. It's
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the day before the Open Championship, and to have that
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: question was probably through them for a loop. And then
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: in Rory's case, I think specifically he doesn't want to
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: think about the mark he has to leave on the
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: game because of what the PGA Tour, the positions the
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: PGA Tour has put him in. I think if you
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: would have asked him that question two years ago, three
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: years ago, when he when they kind of pushed him
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: to be the face of the PGA Tour, when Live
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Golf came in and Rory had to be the one
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: speaking and trying to stand up for PGA Golf, I
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: think he would have thought, Yeah, I want this to
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: be my legacy that I helped secure PGA, you know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: the PGA Tour and make sure that we had this
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: continuing and that it didn't leave because some other group
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: with boatloads of money came in and tried to ruin everything.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: And if I helped save that or I help keep
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: the PGA Tour with the PGA is supposed to be,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: then that's great. But then he kind of got screwed
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: over in that moment, and so I think at this
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: point he's like, I'm just worried about me and my golf,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and that's it because I've already been put in these
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: positions where I was having to be something more.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair, and I'm not being critical of Yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I think every prominent athlete that's had as
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: much success as they are, they have the same notion.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying more likely than not. Before it's all sedient,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: before you're done playing, Yeah, legacy and what you left
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: behind will become more important than anything. It will become
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: more important than the next buck you make. It'll become
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: more important than the next cute girl that bats her
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: eyes at you. It'll become more important than just about
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: anything that you accomplished as a professional athlete will be
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: your legacy. And I've seen plenty of guys in their
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: prime making boatloads of money that thought it didn't matter
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and were dismiss about it. And those are the ones
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that you can't get out of their sport. It's like,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: go away, You've already you've accomplished everything you can accomplish,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and yet they're holding on for the last strands of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: legacy and to prove one more time. I'm a vest.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a mist And luckily for golf, they can
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: go to the senior Tour so they don't have to
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: leave right away. But I hear what you're saying, and
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I wonder if that a lot of that just has
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: to do with age, and when you're young, you just
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: don't think, like I worry about what I'm leaving behind.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: And then as you get older and you start it
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: starts to hit you. You're like, gosh, yeah, thousand.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: They both know they've accomplished a lot. I got a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: lot of money. I'm still either at or near the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: top of my game, and I got a lot of
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: great golf left. Yeah, it's when it starts to slip
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: away from You're like, oh, wow, I didn't know that
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that last major. I didn't know that major I won
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: seven years ago was going to be my last one. Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: That then it starts to kind of soak in on you.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So I just say, I've heard this before. I've heard
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: it before, Scotty, I've heard it before, Rory. Maybe you'll
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: be there are there are outliers. There are guys that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: have stepped away at the exact right time, and like
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the most important things in life are my family and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: my wife and my you know, and and my mental
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: well being and my health. Those are the There are
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: guys that do that, but more, but there have been
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a lot more that eventually do sort of worry about
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: their legacy before they can step away. All right, let's
• 19:30

  Speaker 1: with Brandon Montour today at nine point thirty. Lebron watch.
• 20:30

• 20:34
  Speaker 1: not reading anywhere where they feel like we're seconds away
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: from this occurring, But yes we are. I think we
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: might find out where Lebron is going to play his
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: basketball to close out his NBA career today, If so,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: will pass it along. We're nine days from training camp
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Husky's One series continues today with Christian
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Cable at nine o'clock. We'll talk about the defensive backs,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and the Mariners will resume the second half of their
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: season tomorrow at seven o'clock at home against the lowly
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants. As a matter of fact, we'll have
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the ABC's of the MS coming up next. Plenty of
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Mariner baseball conversation today, but right now, let's get an
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: update from Royal Birkdale connected the board this morning. Yours
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: was on.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: The pot was all down, but your mic was on,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: so I turned it off, thinking you accidentally hit it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: But I'll just be the one that turns it on
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: enough for you, So you just give me this.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you can turn it on. I think somebody
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: crushed my button into the console. So I don't know
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: if Dick Than got really angry with you last night
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: or not. Yeah, but yeah, it's like crushed into the console. Okay,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: well I will turn it on and off for you.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that might be what we have to do.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I should still probably have to have it on from
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: in here. I don't know, but yeah, that's all to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the engineers. That's what we're having an issue with this morning.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Not a big issue. We're good, We're good to go,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and it is time for the ABC's of the MS. Yes,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so we allow the alphabet to be a guide to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a daily Mariner's segment. We never know where it's going
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to take us. And we left off yesterday at the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: letter k K is for killer. And I do hesitate
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: with this because my natural urge is to say, you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: what would be a killer is if the Mariners get
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: off to a slow start in the second half. But
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I always have to keep in the back of my mind,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I've done this before this season like five times, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I have done this in the past every season, like
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: five times. And you're sure that there's this crux, this
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: moment in the season where all right, now's the time
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: where you got to seize this opportunity and if you don't,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you're screwed. And the Mariners almost and I will say
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: almost always prove us wrong because obviously we haven't made
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Every single year, but we here recently, but
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: they have contended every single year here for the last
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: five six seasons, and so they have these moments in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the year where you're just sure, like this is where
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: you've got to take hold of this season. All Right,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you've farted around for nearly one hundred games, but here
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: we are. You've had this big giant break here at
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the All Star break, only Randy didn't have a full
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: week off to get ready for the second half of
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the season. And you've got the San Francisco Giants, who
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: couldn't have had a more nightmarish season this year. And
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: you've got the Cincinnati Reds who've been fading fast, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: you've got them at home for the next six days
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: before you go to Texas and show the Texas Rangers
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: who the team to beat is in the American League West.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: You'll have a four game series in Texas. So these
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: next six games feel important. Probably won't be, but they
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: do feel. It feels like you can't fumble these. It
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: feels like you at least got to go four and two.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But obviously baseball math works differently than any other math,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and so yeah, I'm sure they could go one in five.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Oh I know they can't one in five and then
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: rally from it, but it does feel it makes sense.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: You know, it's logical that they could really benefit from
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a good start to the second half, and it will
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: feel like a killer if they don't seize this opportunity
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to get off to a great start in the second
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: half when the schedule aligns for them so favorably.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially as you said coming out of the All
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Star break, you just lost five of your last six
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: before you went into the break, but you ended on
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: a win. So take that for whatever it's worth and
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: turn it into something to come out of this break,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: because at this point, honestly, you have no excuses for
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: playing the way you've been playing. Step it up, put
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: your big boy pants on.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Speaking of a big boy pants, Robbie Ray
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: is going to be pitching against the pants. Tight pants. Yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: everybody's in a tight pants. That's the song. We got
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to play that. Yeah. I don't think he's pitching until Sunday,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: so we might have to jump ahead of that. We
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: might have to. Yeah, Robbie Ray, he'll probably get traded
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: at the deadline. L is for laz As in laz Montes.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: This is This is gonna be an interesting storyline to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: follow between now and the trading deadline. Obviously, no one's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in a rush to hit the trading deadline to get
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: active in the trading deadline. We are at July sixteenth,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the deadline's August third this year, so you got a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: good three weeks remaining here before you know, it's crunch time, right,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and so nobody's racing to it. And partly because the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: market's not set. We've only got seven sellers on the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: entire market in all of Major League Baseball, which is outlandish,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and it has everything to do with how down a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: first half the American League had, so nearly everybody in
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the American League is still alive. The Tigers in the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Red Sox couldn't have been worse for most of the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: first half of the season, but because nobody ran away
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and hit from them, the Tigers in the Red Sox
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: started playing better going into the All Star break, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: lo and behold, they find themselves back in the race.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: So the trade market is not set, and so this
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: is going to give Jerry and Justin some time to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: evaluate a guy like Las Montes. And I do remind
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: everyone what Justin told me in spring training. We joked
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: around about Las Montes hitting forty home runs this year,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and it was mostly a joke, not that he wasn't
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: capable of it. And Justin Hollander told us, I can
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: promise you if Las Montes hits forty home runs this year,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: some of those will be in a Mariner uniform. That's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: what he told us. Well, Las Montes is at twenty
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: six home runs this year, twenty five in Arkansas and
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: now one in Tacoma. He is not hitting all that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: well in Tacoma. He's three for twenty seven at Tacoma,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: so it's hitting one of it and he only has
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that one home run. So obviously the veteran pitchers, those
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: four A veteran pitchers with all their junk, have been
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a little different of a challenge for Las Montes. He
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: hasn't exactly hit the ground running at Triple A. But
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: if he does make an impact, man, what is that
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: going to do to Jerry and Justin's plans for the
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: trade deadline, Because all of a sudden you're gonna be
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: running out of roster spots. You got Brendan Donovan hopefully
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: getting activated soon. If Montes ends up being a piece.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Now you get you've already got too many left handed hitters.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So then then what happens because somebody's got to go
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in that process. I mean, we already have a numbers crunch,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like West and Wilson's going to be let go before tomorrow,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Julio will be activated. But you also have Rob Reschneider
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and that mystery, Yeah, how injured was he? Really? Is
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: he ever going to be back on the roster? Do
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: you want him back on the roster? But you start
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: introducing a Donovan and Montes back into this situation when
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you've already called up the Colt Emerson and all of
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a sudden, that roster that you had envisioned to have
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: for the second half of the season. There's a numbers
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: crunch here, and then on top of it, you're thinking
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: about adding a piece at the trading deadline that's going
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to cost somebody else their jobs. So it's gonna be
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: interesting to see Las Montes will dictate whether or not.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, he can force the issue. You've got to
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: put me in the lineup. There's no way the way
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I'm hitting home runs that you can keep me out
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: of the major league lineup. And yet his struggles at
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Tacoma by the time, but they've got until August third
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: right to figure out whether or not Las Montes should
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: be a part of this barring injury, because my guess
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: is if he's not showing that, they'll go get that piece,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and we all want them to get that piece, and
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: that makes the roster structure even more difficult to fit
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: another prospect into.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it is interesting to see that he
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: struggled a bit into coma. It makes me realize, oh,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: he is a bit human. But I don't think the
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: struggles are going to last long, that's for sure. I
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: think he'll figure it out pretty quickly.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: It's a different it's a different league. I mean it
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: is the Casey Lawrence. Think of Casey Lawrence. I mean,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that's just a veteran pitcher who knows how to pitch.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: He's going to find out your weakness, he's going to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: exploit it. At double A. He's facing every he's facing
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred miles per hour, ninety eight miles per hour
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: on a lot of pitchers, so the stuff he can handle.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: It is the mind game of facing a veteran. Then
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that's why they wanted him to get some time into
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: coma and he's struggling with it. Yeah, those veterans are
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: have figured out some holes and are exploiting them. When
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you get to the majors, now you've got elite talent
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: with that mindset, and so that's why you can have
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a prospect that dominated in the miners then comes up to
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the major leagues and goes one for thirty eight. Right,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that's why that happens. So it's good that he's in Tacoma,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: but he certainly is struggling right now, and the veterans
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: are having a field day with him. Finally, and just quickly,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: m is for Michael, because Michael Arroyo got called up
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: at the exact same time. Now, Montes is the one
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: that we keep talking about. But Michael Arroyo has an
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: eleven hundred plus ops in his thirty two at bats
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: at Triple A, so he hasn't had any difficulty at all.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he's gotten better since being activated,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: since going from Double A to Triple A. He's going
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: to be a special talent. I do believe that. But
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I do believe he is the guy that you would
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: trade over Las Montes. You just don't trade power like that. Plus,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: we've got an awful lot of middle infielders who are
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: young that are occupying some really important positions right now. Yes,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: all right, coming out, So just where it does JSN
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: rank among the best wide receivers in the National Football League.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: There's the ESPN trying to tell us, and maybe we
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: don't agree. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Let's see, I've Spence try to find space for that

  Speaker 1: left foot into the Battleanzo fornand.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Argentina the allways find away and I'm tied the game.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems to be the story of the tournament,

  Speaker 1: all right. Argentina always finds a way.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, gross, Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: You're annoying. I was, yeah, actually I do.

  Speaker 3: Do you notice every they just kept surrounding the ref
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: anytime they thought that something?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, okay, just let it go man,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, constantly. Here's what here's what I really did do.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Like though about Argentina. Did you notice that every time
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the goalkeeper for England had the ball there was somebody
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: from Argentina like in his face? Yes, Hey, because I've
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: watched soccer all like a lot, and I'm like, why
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: don't you harass the goalkeeper, Why do you just let
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: him kick it free? And every single time, well maybe
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: not every single time, it felt like every single time
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: they liked had somebody just they were just they were
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: going to harass you wherever. They were going to give
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you anything for free. Yeah, you're gonna have to earn
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: it all day long. Also, we got a little taste
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: of just how great I mean Messi's not just a score.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: That guy is magical. Those were some unbelievable passes he
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: was throwing, throwing, kicking in the match yesterday. All right,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock hour, Good to have you with us. It
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: is Chuck Powell and Ashley Ryan brad Evans. Gonna join
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: us here in about a minute and a half. But
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: let me first get to your headlines, brought to you
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: by Frostbrewed Corps, Light Choose Chill. Argentina comes from behind
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: again and wins over England two to one, and they
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: have set up a World Cup final Sunday at noon
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: between themselves and Spain. England. Poor England comes up a
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: little bit short again. Posh just heartbroke for Posh.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: She just really wanted them to hear them sing Hey
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Jude again, Wonderwall again.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: That would have been nice. Yeah, it would have been nice. Sounders.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, MLS action resumes tonight. Sounders are back
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: in action tonight. They waste no time, that's right. So
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: seven thirty against the Timbers at lumen Field. So it's
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: back to be in Lumenfield. So the Sounders resume the
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: rest of their season. They are seven three and three.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: In case you were wondering, they have twenty four matches
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to play in the regular season. Kraken schedule is going
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: to be released today at ten o'clock. We'll cover that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: for you right here at KJAR. We'll actually have Brandon
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Montur on a little bit later at nine point thirty
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: to discuss some of the highlights to the schedule. We'll
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: go over to ourselves as well at some point during
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: this hour here on Chuck buck Sky over the Storm
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: last night, ninety five to ninety the Storm are now
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: six and twenty on the year. Meanwhile, in the NBA,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: we're still on Lebron Watch, and I have a feeling,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: even though there's really nothing out there supporting it right now,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: that maybe Lebron will give his decision today since he
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: has the entire sports world to himself here on this Thursday,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and he seems to like attention. Just an assessment I've
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: made nine days from training camp. We will continue our
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Huskies one series today at nine o'clock with Christian Capele.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about defensive backs today for Jedfish's squad, and
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the Mariners will resume their season Friday at home against
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: the Giants, and that will be a seven o'clock start.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: We still don't know the pitching rotation to start the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: second half. We will speculate about it later this hour,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: but right now we are joined by a guy. I
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: don't know where we would have been in this World
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Cup without this guy, former sounder and just excellent analysts
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that we have been using the crap out of during
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: our coverage here at kJ R. Brad Evans is with
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: us again this morning on Chuck and Buck.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Hi Brad, good morning everybody. How are we doing?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I'm all right? Are you a little sad that there
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: is only one big match remaining? I mean, as exciting
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: as it might be on Sunday, is there a little
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: part of you it's like, oh man, it's almost over.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: This World Cup has been crazy, but it does feel
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: really long, and I was working for a massive part
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: of this tournament, and so I'm kind of looking forward
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: to the break and not having any more games on
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: the schedule. It's a little bit of both, a little
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: bit a little bit sad, but also excited, most importantly
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: for this weekend.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: All right, So maybe you overheard it, maybe not, but
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I'll start with this, since Ashley and I were just
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: talking about it. A couple of observations from the Argentina
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: victory yesterday. Number One, it feels to me like our
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Argentina press as the goalkeeper more than any other team
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that I've watched play in this tournament. I mean, they
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: don't give you anything for free, even a goalkeeper trying
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: to kick the ball to the other end of the field.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: They always have somebody in your face. Am I seeing
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: that correctly? Or have I missed it in other teams?
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: No?
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: I think you're right.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: I think Argentina's game plan is when the ball goes
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: back to the goalkeeper, they will press for the next
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: five or six seconds just to see if the goalkeeper
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: will make.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: An air and then if the ball goes long, then
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: they all.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Kind of get back, they reset, they maintain possession of
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: the ball, they break and then maybe there's another back
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: pass and they go and press. So yeah, they're not
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: a possession based team, really is. When you think of
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: South American teams, you think of possession, the ability to
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: keep the ball, and things have changed in the last
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: basically ever since they figured out all they had to
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: do was get the ball to Messi in the last
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: World Cup and they're gonna win, so in my opinion,
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: so maintaining possession of the ball isn't really.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: What they do.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: They're happy to be those dogs in those dog fights.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: They're happy to fight for the ball. They're going to
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: press you in areas that maybe another team wouldn't normally
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: press and just let you play. But England kind of
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: did that to themselves yesterday. England had a perfect game plan.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: In the first half. They high pressed, they put Argentina
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: under pressure. You had Jet Spence as a left back
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: for England. He was high up the pitch which made
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: it really difficult for Argentina to.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Get out of their own third.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden you go up one
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: nothing and you completely change your tactics and you bring
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: on three defenders after that, and you play with five
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: in the back instead of sticking with your original formation. Well,
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: all that does is it allows a full court press
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: basically from Argentina for the next forty minutes. And in
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: a World Cup with a team like Messi, you cannot
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: do that. You can't just sit back and defend. It
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: doesn't work out. It's the prevent defense where it seems
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: like it never works out for the team that is
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: protecting the lead, and certainly didn't in yesterday's game. And
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Argentina does what Argentina does and what they've done the
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: entire tournament is go down or be tied late in
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: the game, and then all of a sudden, bang bang,
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: and it's Argentina off to the finals once again.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I you know what, as you're describing it, I'm like, yeah,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. They let Argentina when they're up
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: one to oh, they let Argentina dictate the pace, dictate
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the game. Argentina was getting a lot of good looks
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: barely missing, and it just won after another and it
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: eventually caught up to them. So if it was so obvious,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, how much criticism should the head coach be
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: facing for that strategy.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: Well, what's hard is that the game against Mexico, they
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: go down to Azteca, they go down to Mann, they
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: bring on a couple defenders and somehow Jude Bellingham has
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: one of the games of his life and gets them
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: out of there with a victory.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: But they did.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: They sat back in that game because they really had to.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: They were playing a man down. But something switches in
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: your brain when you're playing a man down is actually
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: everyone on the field tries like ten or fifteen percent harder,
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: and it's really hard to beat a team that is
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: a man down, especially when they're already protecting a lead.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: The opposite happened yesterday for England. They thought that this
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: was going to be another Okay, we scored our goal
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: against Mexico, like against Mexico, we've gotten our goal against Argentina. Well,
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: let's just sit back. We'll bring on a six to
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: seven defender. At some point, we'll bring on a couple
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: other defenders. But that isn't what worked for them in
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: that game. And every game is very different, and for
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: some reason, Thomas Toucle saw that, you know, we're going
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: to kind of stick with our guns and we're going
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: to bring on some defenders. But there's a psychological impact
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: when you're in a game like that for everyone on
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: the field is as soon as you're a player on
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: the field. Let's say you're Anthony Gordon, for example, is
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: a left winger, left forward. He gets taken off, everyone
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: on the field is expecting attacking player to come on
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: to replace him. Well, another defender comes on the field.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Everyone goes into a mind shift of I have to defend.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Now we're defending, no matter if the coach has played
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: the same You're defending at the end of the day
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: because you brought on the defender. There's a reason why
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: these seasoned veterans on those teams are defenders. They are
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: not attackers. So it's a complete mental mind shift as well.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: There's a term brad in American football, and I'm sure
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: you follow and I'm sure you know it, but they
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: call it a dime And that's when a quarterback just
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: throws the perfect pass like there's no defense, Like you
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: had it the receiver defended, but he threw it in
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: a spot that the only spot that he could have
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: thrown it to complete the pass. And I see being
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: able to do that with your arm as a quarterback.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if I thought it was pop
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: with your feet kicking a ball. And yet Leno Messi yesterday,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I mean that some of those passes were just right
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: on the money with his feet. So as somebody that
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: watched more soccer in the last month than I probably
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: have in my entire life, I would just say I
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: knew that Messi could score, and I knew that he
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: could handle the ball. Uh dribble the ball if you will.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: But man, those that display he put on passing wise yesterday,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: to me was unreal. Your reaction to it all.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he is one of the best passers
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: in the game. There's a reason why his assist total is,
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: you know, not out of this world. So you're right,
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: they were dimes. You had McCallister hit the post with
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: a header, you had mccallisterer hit the post with his feet,
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, Messi's swinging in ball
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: after ball after ball, whether it was left foot or
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: right foot.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: And just giving his team an opportunity.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: And if you put the ball in the right place,
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: the runners will eventually be there. And people are saying, well,
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: why wouldn't England just they have a six foot seven
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: center back and everyone else is six four and six
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: fourd six'. Five how is this possible that five foot
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: nine player gets on the end of the ball and
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: heads it. Home it doesn't. Matter in, soccer you're taught
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: to have spacing no matter. What you don't all just
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: stand in a line and all attack the ball.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: At the same.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: Time because as soon As messi figures out that every
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: defender is going to go to the near, post, well
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: soccer players are smart enough that now we know that
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: the back post is, on so the ball is going
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: to find its way to the back. Post so you
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: are taught to be basically defending on a tether of equal.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: Distance so everyone is always five to eight yards apart
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: inside the. Box and if one player goes too far
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: to the player to his, left, well now to his
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: right there's a.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Twelve yard, gap so that gap becomes even.
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: Bigger so any day of the, week if the ball
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: is a, dime a five foot nine player can be
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: in that, gap and If messi finds it, there it
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: is your.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Goal and it. Happened it could have been four or
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: five Nothing argentina in those last twenty.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: Minutes let's be, Honest it wasn't like they just all
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: of a sudden had two chances in the last few
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: minutes of the. Game so the pressure was coming the,
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: ball the consistency of the service was always, there and
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: at the end of the, day you make good runs
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: where the ball should, be you're going to find yourself
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: with opportunities they, did and yes they Were.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: Dines. Absolutely.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah Brad evans is with us Talking World cup here.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Today argentina moves on to Face Spain sunday at. Noon
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: more on that in a, moment but just one last
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: question About. ARGENTINA i think a lot of people watch
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: a sport where scoring is very hard to come, by
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and Yet, argentina match after match after, match just seems
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: to press a. Button when they need a, goal they
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: can get a. Goal and so are they that? Good
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: have they been getting? Lucky are they getting breaks from
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the rest like a lot of people are complaining. About
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: is it another you, know the hand Of, god you,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: know reaching? DOWN i, mean how would you describe How
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: argentina continues to seemingly get out played for a lot
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: of the, match but when they need to be the
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: best team they always find a way to do.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: That.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: Well to, me they don't get any of these results
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: Without messi on the. Field they don't win that game
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Without messi on the pitch last, night yesterday. Afternoon AND
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: i really don't think. So they still have world class.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: PLAYERS i, mean you're bringing off a player on the
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: bench who you know plays In sari A, ah has
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: been player of the year In Sarah. Ah and so
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: there's still a stacked, team, yes but there's something about
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: when you have the greatest player playing with you and
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: you're playing for, him magic just tends to. HAPPEN i,
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: mean whether it's The Bulls, brady you, Know Michael jordan
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: with The Bulls, brady who named the athlete that's great
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: and consistently gets Results and we always ask our questions
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: why How, well that's why they're the greatest is because
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: sometimes we can't really explain. It and if they do
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: win this, weekend it will go. DOWN i, mean he
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: has to be un acqu wivocally the greatest soccer player
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: of all time because to, me they count you on your.
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: Championships that's how every sport should. Be and so for
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: for this team to consistently get, results it's some crazy.
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: BELIEF i really can't pinpoint. It it's like they always
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: believe that there is a chance to win in a.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: Game they could be down three to. NOTHING i, mean
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: you saw it In egypt two to nothing with what
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: fifteen minutes left in the, game and then all of
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: a sudden come back and win three to.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Two like these are unheard. Of is there some grace
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: from the?
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Referee yes last, NIGHT i Thought Ishmael, elfatt who's AN
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: mls referee and a WHOLE mls, CREW i thought he
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: refereed that game. Fantastic there can't be one complaint about
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: him giving that game To. Argentina argentina worked to win
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: that game. Yesterday there were no handouts from, anyone in my,
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: Opinion so they just seem to have this maniacal way
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: of getting. Results whether it's, ugly it could be, beautiful
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: it could be we're going to foul in and tried
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: to just cause a ruckus in the first fifteen minutes
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: of the. Game but you hear it on the broadcast.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Yesterday is like after the second half, Started messi just
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: started getting into the, game finding the pockets where he
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: needed to, be AND i Think england just got a
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: little bit, tired and Then england. Scores all of a,
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: Sudden messi some demon awakens in him and, SAYS i
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: am not losing.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Today all, right well we got two minutes to. Go
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: So argentina Versus Spain, sunday go, Yeah.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Spain they are.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: Fantastic they've only conceded one goal in the entire, tournament
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: which is beyond. Impressive and they're doing it without really
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: a proven. Superstar they've got, You me and the mall
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: who's nineteen years, old will be the next. Superstar it's
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: his chance to kind of Say i'm the, Youngster i'm left.
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: FOOTED i play a similar role That messi did used
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: to At, barcelona and Now i'm At. BARCELONA i want
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: to be the next greatest. Thing they've done it with
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: a workman like mentality and their possession BASED i guess
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: style of play has proven to be effective once. Again
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: they won The European championships last time. Around now they
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: find themselves in a final once, again and when they
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: go up one.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Nothing they're not Like england where they're going to sit
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: back and just.
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: Defend they will continue to pass you to, death and
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: that is the most dangerous thing For argentina in this.
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: One If spain goes up one nothing or to, NOTHING
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: i don't Think argentina has a way back into this
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: one because their ability to keep the ball is unmatched
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: in this entire. Tournament So argentina's got their work cut
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: out for. Him but as we've, seen if you Have
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: messi on the, pitch you have a.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Chance phenomenal stuff as, Always and, yes on one, hand

  Speaker 3: Mariners giants and The Open. Championship do you have enough
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: TVs in your own home to watch all those?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Things? Doubtful and do you have a sports book within
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: walking distance in your house inside your. House. DOUBTFUL i
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: mean maybe you have maybe you're Like DeVante adams and
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: you have a taco, Bill but do you have a sports?
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Book probably not doubtful drafting sports book at Talalap Resort,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: casino they're waiting for You Tlala Persort casino when all
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: you want is? Everything all? Right so The mariners get
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: started again On friday against The San Francisco. GIANTS i
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: do like that baseball gives a true break To Major
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: League baseball. Team so That's, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday that's
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: four full days off for most, teams almost all teams
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: In Major League, baseball and The mariners being one of,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: them and the fact that they only had One All,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: star everybody got to kind of. Refresh and so hopefully
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: we'll have a refresh team that hits the ground, running
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: as we've already talked about on the show so far this,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: morning and there's no excuse not to The giants and
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: the reds await at. HOME i would think you're going
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: to do. Well the schedule sets up for you to
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: get off to a good. Start but how will we?
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: START i, mean this pitching, rotation which has been the
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: strength of the team, again this season hasn't been every,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: season but most seasons are starting is the strength of the.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Team and so they've been very good so far this,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: year not quite, great but very. Good and yet we've talked.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: More we've had more, handwringing more conversations about how to
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: set the rotation than anything else about this. Team we've
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: had an offense that struggled and a defensive, struggle but
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: we spent more time trying to figure out what the
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: rotation is going to look like in the first half
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: of the season than anything else it feels. Like and
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: so as we get ready to start the second, half
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: the organization and this will be an organizational decision for
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: all of Those dan's just a. Puppet they'll all sit
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: down and they'll figure out what is the exact sequence
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: we want to start the second. Half and it's not
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: always what you. Think you always think to, yourself will
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: you go with your first your best, pitcher and then
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: the second best? Pitcher, right this is your chance to
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: reset the. Rotation, well they don't do. THAT i mean
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: even The, giants they're not going with all Star Logan
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: web in their first, game or tight Pants Robbie, ray
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: who's been pretty good this year, Too so they're going
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: land and Roop. Friday that's who they're starting the second half,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: with and so The mariner's gonna have a similar. Decision
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: they have not yet announced their rotation plans for the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: start of the second, half so that's what we'll do here.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Today i've already said THAT i Think Brian wu should
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: start tomorrow. Night that should be your first starter of
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the second half of the. Season not because he's been
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: the best pitcher so far for the team this. Year
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: as a matter of, fact it's probably been the fifth.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Best but obviously there's some definitive home and road. Splits
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: and even though we Need Brian wu to be successful
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: on the road and we're not gonna abandon that, project
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: truth of the matter is he's just been fantastic at.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Home so why not take advantage of. That you've got
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: six games to start the second half of the. SEASON
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: i believe they're gonna settle on a five man, rotation
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: no matter whose feelings that, hurt whose feelings get hurt over?
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: That and to, ME i Go Brian wu in game
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: number one so that he can pitch two home games
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: for you in the sixth before we hit the, road
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and then when we're on the, Road, ASHLEY i want
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: the other. FOUR i Want, Gilbert, Miller, kirby And hancock
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: because the first road series is against The Texas, rangers
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: who have decided to be our chief opponent for the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: divisional race this. Year The astros are still there, too
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: and SO i want to stack those four together for that.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Series and IF i were to put them in, SEQUENCE
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: i could Go gilbert Or miller first or, Second kirby,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: third and Then i'd Go hancock last because he's of
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: course got the hand, injury so let's Give let's have
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: him pitch last of the, five and Then castillo is
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: my guy out of the rotation and moved into the.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Bullpen my guess, is, though they'll Go, Gilbert, kirby Then,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: miller and Then. Handcock that would be my guess for
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do coming out of the second.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Half, Yeah AND i would THINK i would think if
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: they were Moving george And bryce around a little, bit
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: that they could Go, Gilbert, Miller. Kirby BUT i do
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: think they'd give this in the situation where all guys
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: are kind of, EQUAL i think they'd give the seniority
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: earlier in the.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Rotation they always seem to Give george the, nod And
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: george finished, strong finished the first half. Strong so my
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: guess IS i think they will GO i, mean not
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: only DO i think it's my. PREFERENCE i think they
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: will Go woo, First, yeah and THEN i think they'll
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Go Gilbert, Kirby, Miller. Handcock and the, biggest the biggest
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: component of, this which is WHAT i probably should have led,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: with is THAT i think that they are going to
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: go five man, rotation and Maybe i'll end up being.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: SURPRISED i think the piggyback has been. FLUSHED i don't
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: think that we're going to see the piggyback used. AGAIN
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: i Think Luis castillo is being told at some point
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: during this break four, days he's probably already been, told
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: or he's getting ready to be, told we're gonna move
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: you to the. Bullpen you'll be long. Relief we might
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: put you back toward the back of the back. End
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: we might work you toward high leverage before the season
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: comes to a, close but we'll go long relief for right,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: now and that way you can stay stretched out in
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: clay in case we do have an injury at some.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Point in the second half as best we. Can BUT
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: i think that's the decision that they're going to. Make
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: we'll find out probably tomorrow because they don't they're not
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: going to give us any information in. Advance BUT i
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: do believe they're going to go to a five man.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: ROTATION i think the experimentation is over with The, piggyback
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: AND i think the mister nice guy with a six
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: man rotation is over as. Well and if you do
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: need a starting, pitcher let's Say Luis castillo isn't stretched out.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Anymore a month from, now when you need an extra starting,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Pitcher Kate anderson's going to be that guy or could
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: be that. Guy so that's my expectation for how they'll
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: set the, ROTATION i.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Mean and that makes the most sense to. Me the
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: ONLY i just don't think we. Can we can't come
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: back and be messing around still with the idea of
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: a six man rotation because we can't make up our.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: MINDS i, MEAN i feel like you've had enough, time
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: you've seen, Enough you've seen every possibility you could, see
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: except for the idea of the roadent Home piggyback with
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Movies castillo And Brian wood like that would be the
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: only other THING i could see you coming up with
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: if you wanted to try one more. Thing but enough
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: with the six man rotation and enough with the regular.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Piggyback, YEAH i, Agree AND i think that they're at
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: that place. TOO i THINK i Think dan struggled with
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: not knowing exactly how to do. THIS i think he
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: struggled with his bullpen pieces to begin, with and then
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: when you go six man, rotation, now all of a,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: sudden he's got one less guy coming out of the,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: bullpen which apparently is like solving time travel And wilson
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: the most difficult thing. Ever, yeah and then the PIGGYBACK
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: i think is also one of those where prices on a.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: ROLL i really got to take them. Out, yeah we,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: decided SO i think they're gonna flush, That so that
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: would be my, Guess and that's kind of The that's
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the frustrating part about it is that When Bryce miller got,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: ACTIVATED i think the feeling Was luis is our sixth best,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: starter and then we did all of, this all these,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: machinations got to The All star. Break just to Realize
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Luis castillo is our sixth best, start.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Right took us a while to get.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: There, yeah, yeah and so let the second half. Begin
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: we'll see how they decide to map it. Out But
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: i'd START. Wu i'd START wu tomorrow night Against land
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: And roope and The. Giants all, right coming up next
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: on the, Program big day here for The crack And.

  Speaker 4: It.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah WELL i didn't have many. EITHER i had two or.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Three but sometimes that what's the appetite for somebody to
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: like movies more because they felt like they were restricted
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: from being able to do things that other kids. Do
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: so WHEN i at sixteen AND i had my own,

• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Well ALTHOUGH i did have a conversation about movies with
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: Five iron the other.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Day and he was, like we got to do something about,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: this so.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: We're was he as bad as you? Are, no he
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: has a massive collection of. Movies he's seen every single
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: thing THAT i have.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Not oh my, GOSH i don't even it doesn't even make.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: SENSE i think you have a. BLOCK i have a
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: psychological block about, it and you won't allow yourself to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: cross over into. It it's, possible AND i just. DON'T i,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Mean i'm. Not it's not on. Purpose it's just like
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: that's not my go to. Thing, yeah, YEAH i don't. Know,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: OKAY i don't. Know let's see, here where'd that?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 5: Go?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: Oh Sep chuck from seven oh? One who Replaces? Dan
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: i'm listening From North. Dakota Alex cora is out.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: There he, Says i'm not interested in managing anyone this,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: year and we would also have to deal with that
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: whole astro past of. His we'd have to get over
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: that hurdle as. Well but he's a little more proven
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: and completely available at this. Point so that's the name
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: that keeps coming. UP i didn't come up with this
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: on my, own but makes sense to. ME i Think
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: i'm still a little intrigued By Joe, medt AND i
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people laugh at, that but there's
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: no way he And jerry have a terrible, relationship so
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: that's that would never. Happen But Alex cora seems to
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: be the name out there that a lot of people
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: are linking if this did ever come to, fruition which it's.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: NOT i, Mean dan's gonna be the. Guy dan's gonna
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: be the. MAN i don't think that he's at risk
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: of losing his. JOB i really, don't even THOUGH i,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: do As i've, said think it gives you a better
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: chance if you.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Did, yeah, yeah fair this, one, Sup. Chuck this is
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: from the two five. Three is there a chance that
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: this is The mariners just resetting their window for two
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: years from now when the young hitters have a chance
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: to play a full season or Two what do.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: You mean resetting their?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: Window, WELL i.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Think their championship window is what he's referring. To oh,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: no they are all in on this.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: Year.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah like if they, DON'T i mean they might not
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: win the World so you might not win the. Tournament
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: that's really hard to. Predict but if they aren't in
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: the playoffs this, YEAR i mean they will view that
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: as a catastrophic. Failure like this is the, team more
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: so than any other team in The depoto era that
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: they believed this. IS i mean that was The Marching
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: orders spring training Was World series or. Bust not, necessarily you,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: know if we don't win The World, series it's been
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: a bust of the. Year but from the standpoint of
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: we have only one, goal and that goal is to
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: win The World. Series they've never spoken that way, before,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: never never in the spring training of the, players executives
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: and managers talk that. Way they all talked that way this.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Spring so that's their, goal that's their, mission and it
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: would be crushing to them if they didn't achieve. That
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: so there's no way there's a reset in the middle of.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: IT i, mean they're game and a half out of
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: first place right. Now, fortunately no one in The American
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: league has run away with. Anything you've got the playoffs
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: right there in your. Grasp you just have to play,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: better just. Period you just have to play. Better you'll
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: get into the, playoffs and then once you're in the,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: playoffs pitching.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: Wins that's, Right, okay this one from the four to
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: two FIVE E Sup, Ashley i'm glad you Think argentina are.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: Annoying as someone who has played and have watched over the,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: years they are in fact. Annoying every time they swarm
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: the ref and the way they. Play, yeah it's just
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of, like it's a lot of, LODs a
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: lot of looks of. Disbelief but they all have to
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: swarm around the ref to, oh come, on, guys huddle
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: around them Make it's like they're trying to put pressure
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: on the reft to make a call or change a
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: call or do.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: SOMETHING i don't Go. Spain i'll say. THIS i feel
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: like they all do. That BUT i think you might be.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: Right argentina might be the worst at. IT i Mean
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: i'm sicking of that just in, general right in the,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Sport like it's just EVERY i, mean there are guys
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: that fall down and while they're falling, down they're holding
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: their hand up yeah to tell the, OFFICIAL i just got.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: FOULED i don't like. THAT i don't like that about the.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Sport AND i do believe some teams are worse than,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: others and Maybe argentina is the absolute worst of them about,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: That but they're all bad at, it every single team
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: from the three.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Six, oh If James woods was even remotely, available what
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: would you be willing to part with to inforce some
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: offense and juice to this baseball? Team, well it, SAYS i,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: know we traded For naylor And gina last, year but
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: haven't traded for a bonafide superstar ever in a horrible
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: al if you're not going to all in now, win.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: Uh bona fide superstars are really hard to trade. For, yeah,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: period much less in the middle of a. SEASON i
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: don't think there's going to be one on the. Market
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: James wood certainly is not going to be put out
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: on the. Market they would never get rid of. Him
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: they are an up and coming team that's actually GOT
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: i think the exact same record that we, do so number,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: ONE i don't think they're going to be selling at
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: the trading deadline, period and they certainly aren't going to
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: be selling foundational pieces Like. James would you have a
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: better chance to See Jay abrams Because abrams is closer
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: to free. Agency but we don't really need a middle,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: infielder not that he's a very good one, defensively but
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: dude can hit and, run still has a big. Upside so,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: No James wood's that's a pipe. Dream, yeah didn't we
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Get Junior camonaro a couple of weeks ago something like pipe? Dream,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: yeah just pipe. Dream it's just it just can't. Happen
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: certainly in the middle of the season For Tampa bay's
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: in first place for, goodness say, yeah.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: A last one from the five eight five Step, ashley
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: who's your favorite team from THE nfc to be in
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: The Super Bowl and Why i've got.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: It i've got to go With.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: Buffalo AND i KNOW i keep saying, this this is
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: probably the third year in a, row but now they've
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: actually Given Josh allen some more, weapons AND i just
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: Think Josh allen does continue to get better and, better
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: and he moves further and further away from the mistakes
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: he made in the. Past So i'm just gonna will
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: it into existence. Finally yet he was.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: His, worst that was His it wasn't his worst playoff.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Game he had one of the worst playoff games. Ever,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: yeah ever buy a. Quarterback but this last, year this past,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: year he was the reason they. Lost, yeah yeah he.

• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: Caple SO i don't know what it is about Jedfish,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: christian and you, know seven foot three inch, cornerbacks but
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: he tends to love. Them two six foot four inch
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: corners have left the program and entered The National Football?
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: League are there any Remaining how many six foot four
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: inch cornerbacks do we have on the? Roster?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: Still? Nobody six y?
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 6: Four they will start a sophomore or second year, PLAYER
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 6: i suppose is the new parlance in college football with
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 6: no more red shirting Named. Billan, robinson who's six foot
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: three and about two hundred and ten, pounds was one
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: of their top recruits in the twenty twenty five. Class
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: he played some as the true freshman's to actually wind
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 6: up starting about five games Because Takario davis was out
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: hurt so much last. Year so he's got some experience
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: and certainly brings THAT nfl caliber size and length to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 6: one corner. Spot so that's SOMEBODY i know they're very excited.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: About, well somebody that's new is A Manual carnly, transfer
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: AND i don't know a lot about, him but that's
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: what this exercise is. For tell me About carly and
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: is He carnally and is he scheduled to be the other? Cornerback?
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, ABSOLUTELY i mean they went out and recruited him
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: from the portal as a plug and play. Starter kind of.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: Interesting he'd been listed at six foot three at all
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: of his previous. Stops he Was Kalin divor's staff At
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 6: washington actually recruited him. SOME i remember him as a,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: prospect and then he wound up going To arizona to
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: play For jedfish and his staff and was there two,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: years and then transferred To miami for just a spring
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: like last president spring of twenty twenty five and left
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: there and wound up playing the twenty twenty five season
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 6: At virginia and where he was a. Starter and all
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 6: along he was listed at six. Three washington has them
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: listed at six foot So i'm not sure where the
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 6: discrepancy was. There he is probably more importantly than just pure.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 6: Height he does have the length that you look. For
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 6: he's one of, those you, know lanky guys out there
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 6: uses that to knock away. Passes AND i got to
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: say he looked like one of their better players during, Spring.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 6: Paul you could tell he kind of brings a veteran
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: presence to the, secondary very sticky in, coverage very, aggressive
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 6: seem to have a lot of pass. Breakups so that's you,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: know one of their biggest, PRIORITIES i think in the
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: portal after losing Both Ephesians Price sock And Tacario davis
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: and obviously knowing that those guys were in their last
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: year of, eligibility Was, hey you really like What Dylan
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: robinson brings from a traits and athleticism perspective at one.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: Spot you got to see him a little bit as a.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 6: Freshman he's going to step into one of those those starting,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 6: jobs and you better go out and hit the free
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 6: agent market and find a proven starter at the other.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: Position and that's What carnally will be for, them.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: The free agent. Market, yeah welcome to Modern cougo. Football
• 1:13:06

  Speaker 4: Tucson, YEAH i mean the.

• 1:13:46
  Speaker 6: Was and they'll be entering their fourth year in. College

• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: we had to get to The Pacific northwest so that
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: we could wear sweaters With Christian. Cable it's chalking back
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: in the. Morning it's Our husky one. Series AND i
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: am looking forward most to talking about the safety position
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: because there's a couple really interesting players on this. Roster
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: but let's finish out the cornerback group and not just
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: talking about the, starters but some other guys on the,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: horizon some other guys that we might hear from this
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: year that could make an impact from the. Secondary.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: YEAH i mean during the, spring you saw a lot
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 6: Of Elias, johnson a third year player From, portland running
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 6: with the second. Team i'm probably most focused on how
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 6: involved this group of true freshmen they brought in twenty
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 6: twenty six. Sinees there's a player Named Jaron jones who
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: was a four star recruit in the twenty twenty sixth,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 6: class who they're pretty excited. About they felt like was
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 6: one of the better cover corners out there in the
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 6: class on The West coast and was a major priority for.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: Them he had a really good.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 6: Spring you saw him some at outside corner with the
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 6: number two. Defense they saw him some At. Nickel he's
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: got that. VERSATILITY i would not be at all surprised
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: to see, him you, know be part of their plans
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 6: in the secondary this, year at least from a rotational,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 6: perspective or maybe he can be their SIXTH dB in certain.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 6: Packages Elijah durr from from the local area.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: Here folks who follow the local prep scene will remember
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: him from From Mount.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 6: Tahoma another another corner who got a lot of run
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 6: in spring and who's going to, be you, know competing
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 6: for playing. Time and then another guy out here in
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: the summer who's going to practice with him for the
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 6: first time in training. Camp Rajon duncan was one of
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: the highest rated prospects in their twenty twenty sixth class From,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 6: oakland WHO i think they also are going to give
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 6: every opportunity to earn some playing time right away. Too so,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: yeah IT'S i think that the starting five and the
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 6: secondary are are pretty, set or at least up here pretty.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: Set but there is going to be a lot of
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 6: competition to see what other names end up on the
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 6: depth chart and kind of who the who the sixth
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: or seventh guy would be coming off the. Sideline if
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 6: they need, Him.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: Well let's jump to those. Safeties maybe it's just, Me
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe i'm but by the end of the, Year i'm,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: like man Is glaughlin playing his position as well as
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: anybody on this roster is playing their. Position and YET
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: i look at the preseason rankings and he's not getting
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: much national acclaim. Whatsoever BUT i just thought we were
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: he had developed into one hell of a football player
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: by the end of the. Year AM i crazy for thinking?
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: That? Yeah, MAN i Think washington's coaches very much agree with.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: You he was. THERE i believe was.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 6: Selected their defensive TEAM mvp last year was a very you,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: know it was a big DEAL i think to get
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 6: him back for another.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: Year and.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 6: He's a, playmaker you, know he's he fits that sort
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 6: of down safety role In Ryan walters defense where you
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 6: know he can he can back up and and cover
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: and show range and stuff. Too but he's he's, VALUABLE
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: i think close to the line of. Scrimmage and you,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 6: know he came From Northern arizona and was he had
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: crazy production behind the line of scrimmage for a safety
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: at THE scs at The Big sky, level and you
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 6: saw some of that last. Year in addition to just
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: sort of making plays. Right he had a pick six
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 6: in The Apple. Cup he picked up the probably the
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: worst fake field goal Attempt i've ever seen in my
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 6: life AT ucla and turned that for a. Touchdown and
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 6: the guy is just always sort of involved in things,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 6: right really sound, tackler you, know someone who you can
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 6: you can send to the. Quarterback and so he's A
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: i think again is going to be one of their
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 6: most important defensive. Players and then you Know Ryland Dillard.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 6: Allen like we talked About Dylan robinson being a player
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 6: from last year's freshman class who's stepping into a full
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 6: time starting, Role Ryland Dillard allen is in a very similar.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 6: Situation he started a few games last year as like
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: a third. SAFETY i think he started Against Ohio state
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 6: and played most of that. Game really, fast really, physical big.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 6: Hitter another guy who was a four star. Recruit another
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 6: guy from the state Of, arizona by the, way who
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: they were really excited about last. Year and, now, yeah
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 6: we'll be that sort of day, one every down starter
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: as long as he's healthy at free. Safety so they're,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: FEELING i think pretty good about the different skill sets
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: that sort of compliment each. Other there between McLoughlin And Dillard.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: Allen Is Dillar allen as good as candidate for biggest jump?
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: FORWARD i, MEAN i know he had a sensational year
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: as a, freshman but that experience under the, belt full
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: year on campus with the program and he just flashed last.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: Year so is He would you put him near the
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: top of the list of candidates that could make the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: biggest jump forward as a football player this?
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: YEAR i think, so. YEAH i think that's a good
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 6: way to put. IT i, mean he's, got like we
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 6: Asked Ryan walters last year sort of about because they
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: had kind of had you your starters at safety With
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: alex McLoughlin and mckel, esteine and Then Dillard allen was
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 6: getting a ton of reps with the number two defense
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 6: and it was looked pretty obvious like he was going
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: to be their third safety and he jumped over a
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: couple of guys with a little more experience and kind
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 6: of had Asked Ryan, walters or maybe it Was Taylor
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 6: may's about, just, hey, well what is it you see
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 6: in him that makes you want to give him the?
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: Opportunity and it was like the athletic, traits, right the,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 6: athleticism so it was.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 4: This, staff not just at that, position but all across the.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 6: Board like when they have a freshman who they feel
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: like brings athletic traits that are at a higher level
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 6: than than what they have, otherwise that oftentimes is going
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: to trump experience or is at least going to give
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: that player an opportunity to get a look with the
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 6: first team or second team to prove that, hey you,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: know can you can you pick it up from a
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 6: mental side because you can do some things physically that
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 6: not a lot of other people on the roster can.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 6: Do so that Was Ryland Dillard allen from day. One
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: he's kind of a blur out. There he was not
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: afraid to mix it up and let teammates know about
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 6: good plays he made against him and Plays yeah the
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: thatcho of the echo of the, WHISTLE i like to,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 6: say so He's, yeah he's got potential to be a fan.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 6: Favorite Christian caple is with. Us he can follow him
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 6: At Christian capell of course on X.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: He's he's On montlake writing about The huskies football On.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: Montlake you can look at it at at On montlake YouTube.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: Channel he's got his podcast To Say Who say pod
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: podcast as well and good to have him on here.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: Today we lean on him when we can for information
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: in regards to The. Huskies so it was a given
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: to have him part of Our huskies one series. Here
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: and So Jimmy lake, ERA i, mean this program and
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: the graduates of this program took a lot of. Pride
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: Buddha baker, perhaps president Of Defensive Back, university and so
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: that stretch of just you, know fireing one elite defensive
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: back into The National Football league after, another and they
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: wanted to kind of carve out That niche is the
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: defensive back university here In. Washington and YET i don't
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: know If Jed fish wants to be the head coach
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: of a program known as Defensive Back, university he probably
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: wants to be the head coach of a program known
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: as forty five points per game. University and SO i would, ask,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: like how much has that era still, around how much
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: has it immersed itself into the culture Of, Washington and
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: then how far have they kind of moved away from that.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 6: Reputation, YEAH i, MEAN i suppose you've got some distance
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: from that era now, specifically, RIGHT i, Mean Jimmy lake's
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: last year was as head coach in twenty twenty. One
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 6: as we all, know it did not go, well And
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 6: caylin De, bor while overseeing a wildly successful two year,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: period was not exactly known for the defensive side of
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: the although they did get some solid play from a
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: couple of defensive backs during that. Era but, YEAH i,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: mean they did just have two corners selected in THE Nfl,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: draft and you're not just. Selected BUT i think both
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: those guys showed really well at the combine and you,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: know probably improved their stock a good bit from where
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: it was at the end of the season when they
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 6: were done playing college.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 4: Football SO.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 6: I think they feel really good about the way that
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 6: position is. Coached John, richardson their secondary coach who works
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 6: with the, corners has recruited very. WELL i, Mean Jaron
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 6: jones And Rajon duncan were big time recruiting wins for
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: them in the twenty twenty sixth. Class Sincere Kay lord
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 6: is a twenty twenty seven corner who just committed to them,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 6: recently WHO i think is has the potential to come
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 6: in and play right away next.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 4: Year so you, KNOW i think that.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: They're stacking a lot of young talent out there that
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: they feel good. About the results have been encouraging so.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 6: Far you, know this year is a little bit different
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 6: because you've got one player you recruited who's going to
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: be a starter as a sophomore In Dylan. Robinson another
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 6: player who's you, know just came here after three years
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 6: playing at other. Schools BUT i do think they feel
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: Like Dylan robinson as far as guys that this staff
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 6: is brought in and recruited and, Everything Dylan robinson can
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 6: kind of be the next and that pipeline being a
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 6: future POTENTIAL nfl draft.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: Pick so in, summary the secondary this year for The
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: huskies will be a, strength a, weakness or somewhere in.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 6: BETWEEN i think it can be his, strength you, Know
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: AND i like a guy we haven't talked. About they're,
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 6: Starting Nickel Rashaan clark is another big piece of that,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 6: too mynother guy with really good ball. Skills he's just
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 6: sort of instinctual and good tackler and sort of has
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 6: that natural feel for being around the ball and affecting the. Ball,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 6: so you, KNOW i think it's there's some experience, there
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: but you have gone through basically From january on knowing
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: who your five, are AND i think that that at
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 6: least counts for. SOMETHING i feel like the talent one
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: through five there is at a pretty decent.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: Level all, right what can we plug for you before
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: we say goodbye until the next. Time what's going on
