- 1:51Speaker 2: with every single person that could help the Seahawks for
- 1:54Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, but some of us barely made it in.
- 1:58Speaker 2: What did you have snow this morning? I mean, what
- 2:00Speaker 2: a shocking revelation. I had no idea there was snow anywhere, and.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Washing it makes sense. Once I got to four or five,
- 2:06Speaker 3: there was. It was dry and bare roads the whole way. Yeah,
- 2:10Speaker 3: not out of my house. I had like four inches
- 2:13Speaker 3: of snow at my house. What yeah, And then going.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Over the ridge, I did not have snow. No, just
- 2:18Speaker 5: ice on my car.
- 2:20Speaker 2: You had ice on your car.
- 2:22Speaker 4: It's cold and snowy.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Well, you know what they say about Woodenville. It is
- 2:26Speaker 2: the Bahamas of the Pacific North.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Yeah, so rarely a lot a lot out here that
- 2:38Speaker 2: I got tan this morning. Yeah, time change, So it
- 2:41Speaker 2: was even sunshiny this morning when I woke up.
- 2:45Speaker 3: No, yeah, you slept in a hammock last night. Yeah,
- 2:48Speaker 3: there's some waves crashing.
- 2:50Speaker 2: It was like living in a Bahama breeze.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Yeah, you could just get mixed drinks and right, apparently
- 2:58Speaker 6: those are really popular some places, but in most places
- 3:01Speaker 6: they fail, like nothing ever failed.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Yeah, you put them in places where you're not going
- 3:05Speaker 5: for great food, like South Center mall.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, but you got you. You had four
- 3:11Speaker 2: inches of snow goodness, yeah.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Crazy and going over the ridge like where Purple Sheet lives.
- 3:18Speaker 4: It was. It was dump and even harder.
- 3:20Speaker 3: I mean they had yes, seven, eight, maybe ten inches
- 3:24Speaker 3: of snow going over that. Yeah, and I mean the
- 3:27Speaker 3: roads were just covered in slush.
- 3:29Speaker 4: It was.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It was hairy, to say the least. That's what I
- 3:32Speaker 3: got here a little bit later because I just I
- 3:34Speaker 3: couldn't go ninety in through that.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Well.
- 3:37Speaker 5: It was interesting because I was out in Bucky's Neck
- 3:39Speaker 5: of the Woods this week and it was pouring with rain,
- 3:43Speaker 5: as we say in my.
- 3:44Speaker 2: House, okay with rain, Yes, okay.
- 3:47Speaker 5: It's a British thing, I think, because I found out
- 3:49Speaker 5: that's not what most people say.
- 3:50Speaker 1: No, that pouring with bright, pouring with rain.
- 3:54Speaker 5: So I would pull the rain the radio, the weather
- 3:56Speaker 5: app up all weekend to look and I told Bucky
- 3:58Speaker 5: when I saw him yesterday. Well, at one point the
- 4:01Speaker 5: weather app said, you guys are gonna get eight to
- 4:02Speaker 5: nine inches of snow one of the days this week,
- 4:05Speaker 5: and then it went away.
- 4:06Speaker 1: But I think it's coming back. I'm just judging by this.
- 4:09Speaker 4: Yeah, well I did.
- 4:10Speaker 2: It did much night for goodness sake, and I thought
- 4:14Speaker 2: we escaped winter. What the hell it's like one hundred
- 4:17Speaker 2: degrees in Arizona already. We were just there two weeks ago.
- 4:20Speaker 3: I'm not happy about that either, after I planted one
- 4:22Speaker 3: hundred thousand wildflowers. I don't know for sure if this
- 4:26Speaker 3: is going to help that. Oh thin, it's a lot
- 4:28Speaker 3: mother nature. Oh man, wow, that is a curveball. It
- 4:32Speaker 3: was a curveball. Yeah, and uh yeah, baseball season's here,
- 4:36Speaker 3: or so it seems. And then it's like, yeah, just kidding,
- 4:38Speaker 3: how about some snowball fights. How's that sounds good?
- 4:42Speaker 4: It's going to turn into rain.
- 4:43Speaker 3: But then I guess it's supposed to cool down again
- 4:45Speaker 3: tonight and dump a little bit more tomorrow. We got
- 4:48Speaker 3: a few days of some intermittent snow. But yeah, waking
- 4:52Speaker 3: up this morning, I was like, man, that is just shocky.
- 4:55Speaker 3: I am surprised.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Me too.
- 4:57Speaker 3: I am flummoxed. Yeah, I am gobsmacked. The nature getting
- 5:00Speaker 3: her tampon.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Apparently that's what it is.
- 5:03Speaker 2: She's excited, Yeah, she's yeah, you're right.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if she's excited about it.
- 5:07Speaker 2: But tampering with your spirits, she's.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Exerting her authority, authorite.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Okay, we get it, you're powerful. Chill out, lady.
- 5:16Speaker 5: We're gonna We're not going to do anything to aggravate
- 5:18Speaker 5: you this week.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Everybody, your emotions are on it.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Everybody respects you most part, we like you. Just calm down, Yeah, ma'am,
- 5:26Speaker 2: that'd be so pushy. Yeah, jeez, well you know what. Yes,
- 5:32Speaker 2: maybe it's gonna make things a little problematic driving here
- 5:36Speaker 2: for you this morning, so be safe up on the
- 5:38Speaker 2: roads and Bucky's neck of the nape. But for the
- 5:43Speaker 2: rest of us, we're not gonna let it get in
- 5:45Speaker 2: the way of our enjoyment of the free agency.
- 5:47Speaker 1: For us, ye, getting our Tampa.
- 5:49Speaker 2: It is coming and it is gonna land right square
- 5:52Speaker 2: on our faces at nine o'clock this morning. That's when
- 5:56Speaker 2: it officially gets underway. Here's here's a little bit of
- 5:59Speaker 2: the uncomfortable truth. Is that, man, you give somebody an inch,
- 6:03Speaker 2: they'll take a mile. And as Greg pointed out to
- 6:06Speaker 2: us last week, our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell that
- 6:10Speaker 2: the tampering has been going on for weeks. And I
- 6:12Speaker 2: don't know how they're keeping the Adam Schefters in the
- 6:16Speaker 2: world and others from leaking everything they know. I don't
- 6:20Speaker 2: know how they're keeping them on the up and up.
- 6:22Speaker 2: But I can promise you the moment one of those
- 6:25Speaker 2: sons of guns leak something early, the rest of them
- 6:28Speaker 2: will leak ten things because they're not going to be
- 6:30Speaker 2: out scooped.
- 6:31Speaker 1: The floodgates are going to open.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Yeah. So I don't know how much is actually already known,
- 6:36Speaker 2: and we've just got a gag order on things. But
- 6:39Speaker 2: the NFL, you know, the season doesn't the off season
- 6:43Speaker 2: doesn't even start until Wednesday. But we then introduced this
- 6:46Speaker 2: tamper in period in which they have two hours they
- 6:49Speaker 2: excuse me, two days to get things done and this
- 6:52Speaker 2: is usually when all the free agents sign. But there
- 6:55Speaker 2: is a world out there that exists that I'm starting
- 6:59Speaker 2: to believe we already know a lot of information, we
- 7:02Speaker 2: just haven't revealed it. And so here we sit on
- 7:07Speaker 2: the day of the frenzy getting underway. The tampering period
- 7:10Speaker 2: isn't supposed to start until nine o'clock. Usually we don't
- 7:14Speaker 2: have a lot of information between now and nine o'clock. Usually,
- 7:17Speaker 2: for whatever reason, those parameters are respected by the insiders
- 7:22Speaker 2: and the diggers of information. But who knows. It feels
- 7:26Speaker 2: like it's a little bit of a changing world right now,
- 7:28Speaker 2: so maybe we'll have some information to impart before nine
- 7:32Speaker 2: am today.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if some stuff starts leaking out.
- 7:35Speaker 3: And I mean, you know, they're obviously letting some people
- 7:38Speaker 3: know that they're going to be released right on the
- 7:40Speaker 3: way in. I heard that Tua has been you know,
- 7:43Speaker 3: they let him know. Not that that's news, I don't
- 7:45Speaker 3: know necessarily.
- 7:45Speaker 2: But official, Yeah, there's time like tampering, they can release
- 7:50Speaker 2: them whenever they want to release.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Yeah, but I will be interested to see what else
- 7:54Speaker 3: goes down, because you're right, they to think that they
- 7:57Speaker 3: haven't been having some sort of correspondence even though they're not.
- 8:00Speaker 3: It's a poster yet I think they they do and
- 8:02Speaker 3: and uh, and then it's whether or not they leak
- 8:05Speaker 3: it out or let it be known before the time comes.
- 8:08Speaker 3: But it will be interesting to see if what'd you
- 8:10Speaker 3: call him, count? What'd you call John Schneider.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Called him the Tampire?
- 8:15Speaker 3: The Tampire. Well, hopefully he's got his cape on. He's
- 8:19Speaker 3: got to be awake. And I'm picturing him now hiding
- 8:21Speaker 3: behind the cape, sneaking up on somebody, and I want
- 8:24Speaker 3: to well.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Of course it's night out. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll
- 8:28Speaker 2: wait for a couple more. Yeah, stuff done here soon.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I don't care what clocks we.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Changed, Yeah exactly.
- 8:33Speaker 5: I think it's Yeah, it's interesting for the first day
- 8:37Speaker 5: with the when you know, when you're getting your tampon
- 8:40Speaker 5: and your anticipating, like you're looking forward to leaks, because
- 8:43Speaker 5: that's not usually the case.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Right, right, right, in this case, I.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Think that's kind of the point of it. Yeah, it's
- 8:49Speaker 2: too avoidly, right.
- 8:50Speaker 1: But in this case, like we were, the more the merrier.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Uh huh yeah, leaks all day. Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 2: uh that's yeah exactly. It's kind of the face.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Of logic, really does.
- 9:02Speaker 2: But we do have some information here this morning, a
- 9:04Speaker 2: couple of things that have already broken. And this does
- 9:07Speaker 2: not tampered with Tamperfest, but Tua Tongue of Iloa has
- 9:11Speaker 2: been released the Miami Dolphins so disfranchised with their franchise
- 9:18Speaker 2: quarterback that they are going to take a ninety nine
- 9:21Speaker 2: million dollar dead money hit against their salary cap just
- 9:25Speaker 2: to get rid of him. Part of that is the
- 9:28Speaker 2: success that Denver Broncos had in making that decision with
- 9:32Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, Sean Payton, and the Broncos showed the world
- 9:36Speaker 2: that hey, it's you. It's just better, it's more beneficial
- 9:42Speaker 2: to the franchise when you know it's not working to
- 9:45Speaker 2: just take the financial hit, try to find the next guy,
- 9:49Speaker 2: and in the interim, perhaps some sort of bridge quarterback
- 9:53Speaker 2: to get you where you need to go. But this
- 9:56Speaker 2: is this is something new in the National Football League,
- 9:59Speaker 2: even with a salary cap, even with an individual salary
- 10:04Speaker 2: that well exceeded fifty million dollars per year to a
- 10:07Speaker 2: tongue of Iloa, I think had some issues as a
- 10:11Speaker 2: leader and obviously had some issues with his health, and
- 10:14Speaker 2: then this year had major issues with production. The Miami
- 10:18Speaker 2: Dolphins just don't want him or in the building anymore.
- 10:21Speaker 2: So they are willing to eat one hundred million dollars
- 10:26Speaker 2: not just as an ownership group, but against their working
- 10:30Speaker 2: salary cap in order to get rid of him. Boy,
- 10:34Speaker 2: you have really done You've really burned some bridges. If
- 10:37Speaker 2: they're going to harm themselves that much in trying to
- 10:41Speaker 2: compete in the next couple of years.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean I don't know for sure if
- 10:45Speaker 3: you can bank on or human really logically hope that
- 10:49Speaker 3: you're going to have success. I mean, if there was
- 10:51Speaker 3: a quarterback class coming out where you could you know,
- 10:54Speaker 3: probably get a guy that you felt could be your replacement,
- 10:58Speaker 3: but this year's quarterback class does seem all that strong
- 11:01Speaker 3: as far as uh, you know, the guys after Mendoza. Anyways,
- 11:04Speaker 3: there's a lot of question marks about those guys.
- 11:06Speaker 2: So they were even terrible at sucking because for a
- 11:09Speaker 2: while there it looked like the Dolphins were the worst
- 11:11Speaker 2: team in the National Football League. And you're like, all right,
- 11:13Speaker 2: well that year you get go get Fernando Mendoza, go
- 11:16Speaker 2: ahead and eat it. You know, you got two wins
- 11:18Speaker 2: on the air, and then they up and won like
- 11:20Speaker 2: four straight games that meant nothing to them in the
- 11:23Speaker 2: middle of the year, and it even ruined their pursuit
- 11:27Speaker 2: of sucking.
- 11:27Speaker 4: Mm h yeah, well, I mean his job.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just you have to have a lot of
- 11:32Speaker 3: things go right, or just kind of almost fall into
- 11:34Speaker 3: place where your previous drafts and then this draft coming up,
- 11:38Speaker 3: you need a whole bunch of guys to contribute that
- 11:40Speaker 3: are on you know, small rookie deals. Because sixty six
- 11:45Speaker 3: million dollars I think is what they're going to be
- 11:47Speaker 3: dinged with cap this year, and then they're the thirty
- 11:49Speaker 3: three next year. I mean, that's a lot of good
- 11:51Speaker 3: players that you could get. Instead, he's going to be
- 11:54Speaker 3: either on somebody else's team or or out of football.
- 11:57Speaker 3: I imagine somebody will give him an opportunity to come
- 11:59Speaker 3: in and play for minimum.
- 12:00Speaker 2: But well, you weren't going to have those players either way.
- 12:03Speaker 2: You were either paying him, yeah, or paying him not
- 12:06Speaker 2: to be on your roster.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Right, Well, yeah, you don't have anybody to show for
- 12:11Speaker 3: that money going out the windows. So it's a I mean,
- 12:14Speaker 3: I would not bet that they're going to have the
- 12:16Speaker 3: same type of success that the Broncos somehow found a way.
- 12:19Speaker 3: I think that, like I said, you end up getting
- 12:21Speaker 3: a quarterback that kind of fills that spot in bo
- 12:24Speaker 3: Nicks and the rest of their drafts were kind of
- 12:26Speaker 3: coming to fruition to where the rest of your roster
- 12:29Speaker 3: was still fairly solid considering you were not playing with
- 12:33Speaker 3: the same It's you know, with the salary cap league,
- 12:35Speaker 3: you got an even playing field. Everybody has the same
- 12:37Speaker 3: amount of money to spend. But when you all of
- 12:39Speaker 3: a sudden have a third of that or I guess what,
- 12:42Speaker 3: we're at three hundred million now, so it's a fifth
- 12:45Speaker 3: of that that you you just basically are not going
- 12:48Speaker 3: to be able to use for players.
- 12:50Speaker 4: Good luck, the good luck.
- 12:51Speaker 5: The good news is though, for your Broncos, they're no
- 12:53Speaker 5: longer the team that had to pay somebody the most.
- 12:56Speaker 1: It took the biggest deadrap head.
- 12:58Speaker 5: Yeah, right now the Dolphins have taking that title, so
- 13:00Speaker 5: they'll leave you guys alone.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Well, I mean the Bronx honestly, though, I mean, I mean, yes,
- 13:04Speaker 2: I love taking cheap shots at the Broncos just because
- 13:07Speaker 2: of Bucky. Yeah, not any I don't have anything, but frankly,
- 13:13Speaker 2: I mean they it's how excellent they were in the
- 13:16Speaker 2: transition of that is what's going. It's just another reason.
- 13:20Speaker 2: It's the whole Josh Rosen thing. Just because we made
- 13:24Speaker 2: a mistake by taking a turd with a top ten
- 13:27Speaker 2: pick in the draft doesn't mean that we're going to
- 13:30Speaker 2: maintain that mistake. I mean, you know, two wrongs don't
- 13:34Speaker 2: make a right. Yeah, So the Broncos have just kind
- 13:39Speaker 2: of shown everybody there is a path beyond the world
- 13:44Speaker 2: of signing a quarterback to a bad contract, and so
- 13:49Speaker 2: that's where the Miami Dolphins are. Maybe Jake Browning he
- 13:52Speaker 2: got released today by the Cincinnati Bengals. Don't know all
- 13:56Speaker 2: the details on that, but man, talk about us a
- 13:59Speaker 2: nice little stop quarterback. This is the kind of thing
- 14:01Speaker 2: that you do. You find that one guy, you give
- 14:03Speaker 2: them a chance. You probably tell them one year, you
- 14:06Speaker 2: got one year to prove yourself, maybe not even to us,
- 14:08Speaker 2: but to the rest of the league. But we'll take
- 14:11Speaker 2: you on one year. We're not gonna pay you that
- 14:13Speaker 2: much because we can't. And yet you will be given,
- 14:17Speaker 2: for the first time in your NFL career, a starting job,
- 14:21Speaker 2: and you can prove to the world that you are
- 14:24Speaker 2: one of the thirty two going forward, one of the
- 14:26Speaker 2: best thirty two in the world. So maybe those two
- 14:29Speaker 2: things can marry with one another. Hell, Jimmy Garoppolo has
- 14:33Speaker 2: been discussed in Arizona as possibly replacing Kyler Murray, and
- 14:37Speaker 2: they're going through the same exact thing in Arizona, that
- 14:40Speaker 2: the Dolphins are going through with Tua. Some other things though,
- 14:44Speaker 2: as we kind of set the frenzy for you here
- 14:46Speaker 2: today from a Sea Hawks perspective, all sorts of rumors
- 14:51Speaker 2: over the weekend. Best I can tell, these are the
- 14:53Speaker 2: very latest rumors that confront Sea Hawk free agency number one,
- 14:59Speaker 2: Rashichai to Las Vegas. That seems to be the predominant
- 15:03Speaker 2: rumor out there. And I don't know if that's people
- 15:06Speaker 2: hearing things or if that's just people putting two and
- 15:09Speaker 2: two together. Clint Kubiak's now the head coach of the Raiders.
- 15:13Speaker 2: They have cap space they haven't even more after trading
- 15:16Speaker 2: Max Crosby. You know, Kubiak's had Shahed in two different
- 15:22Speaker 2: spots in the last year plus. Would anybody be surprised
- 15:26Speaker 2: if he didn't try to lure him to Las Vegas.
- 15:29Speaker 2: So that seems to be the predominant rumor surrounding Rashid
- 15:33Speaker 2: Shaheed that he will be asking for too much money
- 15:36Speaker 2: to return to Seattle, and maybe the likely destination is
- 15:40Speaker 2: reuniting with Kubiak, this time in Vegas.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Well, when we were talking about it, I think that
- 15:45Speaker 3: was the way in which I framed my first question
- 15:48Speaker 3: to Greg about it was just thinking because of the
- 15:50Speaker 3: fact that Kubiak liked him so much, and then you know,
- 15:53Speaker 3: he obviously had something to do with bringing him here.
- 15:56Speaker 3: I'm sure he gave him the vote of confidence that yet, no,
- 15:58Speaker 3: this is a guy that can take the top off.
- 16:00Speaker 4: What he does in the.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Return game is important, and they bring him over here
- 16:04Speaker 3: and it works out one hundred percent.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Now, you know.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Basically was immediately kind of like, well, I know, I
- 16:09Speaker 3: think that's kind of going to be priority number one
- 16:11Speaker 3: for the Seahawks to bring him back because of how
- 16:14Speaker 3: influential he was. I mean that Hunt returning in that
- 16:17Speaker 3: Rams game, who knows how the sliding doors happen. If
- 16:20Speaker 3: he doesn't return that they probably don't win that game.
- 16:23Speaker 3: You maybe don't win the West and get the number
- 16:25Speaker 3: one seed, and who knows if you end up being
- 16:27Speaker 3: the Super Bowl champions. I obviously can't narrow it down
- 16:30Speaker 3: to one play. There's far too many things that happened,
- 16:32Speaker 3: but a very important player down the stretch for him,
- 16:35Speaker 3: and so I'm not surprised to hear rumors of that. Again,
- 16:39Speaker 3: I'm with you, I don't know if that's actual, real,
- 16:41Speaker 3: legitimate information or if it's just kind of well, it
- 16:44Speaker 3: makes sense that he would follow the guy that brought
- 16:46Speaker 3: him here and had him in New Orleans before. So
- 16:50Speaker 3: interesting to see, and yet I wouldn't be surprised one bit.
- 16:55Speaker 3: I mean, if you end up finding a relationship where
- 16:57Speaker 3: you have a guy that brings you to the forefront
- 17:00Speaker 3: and kind of gets the most out of you, that's
- 17:01Speaker 3: maybe where you'd want to go.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Ken Walker news over the weekend heavily heavily, heavily, heavily
- 17:07Speaker 2: linked to the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean, there were
- 17:10Speaker 2: some people going about as far as saying it's happening,
- 17:13Speaker 2: and yet it's kind of cooled. Now this morning, you're
- 17:17Speaker 2: hearing stuff with the Giants, We're hearing stuff with the
- 17:21Speaker 2: Washington commanders linked to ken Walker. We're just not hearing
- 17:26Speaker 2: a lot of stuff about how the Seahawks are going
- 17:29Speaker 2: to at the midnight hour save this relationship and give
- 17:32Speaker 2: him the money that he needs. Washington seems to be
- 17:35Speaker 2: linked to everyone this morning, and they do have a
- 17:38Speaker 2: lot of cap space that was ended up being a
- 17:41Speaker 2: really old team a year ago. Here they two years ago,
- 17:43Speaker 2: we thought, oh, Jaydeon Daniels, here they go there, here's
- 17:46Speaker 2: a fresh young face. They're getting ready to put together
- 17:49Speaker 2: a nice run. And then the year after, like, wait
- 17:51Speaker 2: a minute, they got an awful lot of thirty five
- 17:53Speaker 2: year olds on this roster and they crashed and burned.
- 17:56Speaker 2: So the commander's looking to kind of reset, and they
- 17:59Speaker 2: seem to be linked to everybody boy a MAF being
- 18:02Speaker 2: linked heavily to the New England Patriots that that could
- 18:06Speaker 2: be a destination for him. The Dallas Cowboys a little
- 18:09Speaker 2: bit as well, Reek Woolan. Of all teams, the San
- 18:12Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers have been linked to Reek Woolan.
- 18:16Speaker 2: And in terms of Kobe Bryant, most of the conversation
- 18:20Speaker 2: from over the weekend is that the Seahawks Mike McDonald
- 18:24Speaker 2: John Schneider want to keep Kobe Bryant, and they do
- 18:27Speaker 2: have until nine o'clock this morning before he hits the
- 18:30Speaker 2: free agent mark. And it doesn't mean that they have
- 18:32Speaker 2: to stop negotiating with him at nine o'clock, but at
- 18:35Speaker 2: nine o'clock obviously the tampering period gets underway, and so
- 18:40Speaker 2: other teams theoretically come after Kobe Bryant with offers. So
- 18:45Speaker 2: theoretically you should have until nine o'clock today to try
- 18:48Speaker 2: to work something out before he can be tampered with.
- 18:51Speaker 2: But we shall see. Sounds like that there is an interest,
- 18:56Speaker 2: great interest on Seattle's part of keeping Kobe Bryant. And
- 18:59Speaker 2: if you're looking for a name that maybe outside of
- 19:02Speaker 2: Seattle that the Seahawks are being linked to, there's a
- 19:06Speaker 2: little bit of heat around former first round cornerback out
- 19:10Speaker 2: of Northwestern veteran Greg Newsom. So if the Seahawks were
- 19:13Speaker 2: to lose Woolen and possibly job, that maybe they would
- 19:17Speaker 2: be in the market for an experienced veteran cornerback. Greg
- 19:21Speaker 2: Newsom got off to a pretty rough start to his
- 19:23Speaker 2: infl career and yet kind of like Sam Darnold has
- 19:27Speaker 2: come together a little bit here in his late twenties
- 19:31Speaker 2: and has given himself a market. He's coming off a
- 19:33Speaker 2: very good year, and that maybe the Seahawks might be
- 19:36Speaker 2: interested in him should they lose a couple cornerbacks. In
- 19:39Speaker 2: this process, we will be cooping you up to date
- 19:42Speaker 2: all morning long. That's just the Seahawks stuff. I got
- 19:45Speaker 2: stuff from across the National Football League to share with
- 19:47Speaker 2: you as well. Let's find out what's on tap for
- 19:50Speaker 2: today's showing. What's on TEP what's untep. Greg Bell will
- 19:56Speaker 2: be with us at seven oh five this morning. We'll
- 19:59Speaker 2: get the latest from OKS insider what he's hearing on
- 20:02Speaker 2: this first day of the tampering period, and should let
- 20:06Speaker 2: you know tomorrow we're going to summon Mike Sando to
- 20:10Speaker 2: our studios couple hours with our NFL insider. Kind of
- 20:14Speaker 2: feels like a handy guy to have around tomorrow. So
- 20:16Speaker 2: Mike Sando is going to be coming in studio with
- 20:19Speaker 2: us tomorrow and we'll get to react in real time
- 20:23Speaker 2: to things that happen during tomorrow's period of tampering, and
- 20:28Speaker 2: then of course we'll be able to recap with him
- 20:30Speaker 2: everything that goes down here today and tonight. But we
- 20:34Speaker 2: are prepared for the frenzy, and we have reinforcements coming
- 20:37Speaker 2: in in the form of Mike Sando, and of course
- 20:40Speaker 2: Hugh Millen's always on the bat signal as well in
- 20:43Speaker 2: case we do have a Seahawks signing and need our
- 20:47Speaker 2: QB one to analyze his tape for us. You could
- 20:50Speaker 2: hear from a cast of thousands during the course of
- 20:53Speaker 2: the next couple of shows right here on Chuck and Buck.
- 20:55Speaker 2: If you haven't heard, and I don't know how you
- 20:57Speaker 2: wouldn't have heard if you are a Seahawk fan. And
- 21:00Speaker 2: Max Crosby was traded over the weekend Friday night. As
- 21:03Speaker 2: a matter of fact, about a martini and a half deep,
- 21:06Speaker 2: I have to read the alert that Max Crosby is
- 21:09Speaker 2: a Baltimore Raven and not a Seattle Seahawk. It was
- 21:13Speaker 2: for two first round picks. That's something that we'll talk
- 21:15Speaker 2: about coming up here at the bottom of the hour
- 21:18Speaker 2: this morning Cracking. They beat the NHL trading deadline, and
- 21:22Speaker 2: apparently by the narrowest of margins. Apparently Brian McCann left
- 21:26Speaker 2: his glass slipper on the stoop outside the castle and
- 21:30Speaker 2: then right at the midnight hour it fit his gnarled
- 21:33Speaker 2: hockey foot and so he is the newest member of
- 21:37Speaker 2: the Krack and we'll talk about him a little bit
- 21:39Speaker 2: today coming up on the show. The Sounders did win
- 21:42Speaker 2: over the weekend against Saint Louis, won to nothing the
- 21:44Speaker 2: final score there. Selection Sunday is in six days in
- 21:48Speaker 2: college basketball, so the Friends he meets the Madness this week.
- 21:52Speaker 2: The Big Ten Tournament also is going to take place
- 21:54Speaker 2: this week. It starts on Tuesday. We do know that
- 21:57Speaker 2: UUB will play Wednesday, at eleventh thirty against USC, a
- 22:01Speaker 2: familiar foe there. So that's how their Big ten tournament
- 22:05Speaker 2: will begin. Meanwhile, the WCC has advanced enough that finally
- 22:09Speaker 2: the Zags will be in action tonight, playing their first
- 22:12Speaker 2: game of the WCC tournament tonight at six o'clock versus
- 22:15Speaker 2: Oregon State, and the WBC continues to roll on. I
- 22:19Speaker 2: cannot wait until this pool play round is over with. Frankly,
- 22:24Speaker 2: I'm thinking we should change the way that this thing
- 22:27Speaker 2: is scheduled. We'll talk about that a little bit later
- 22:30Speaker 2: on in the show as well. But tonight US versus Mexico,
- 22:33Speaker 2: cal Rawley versus Randy or Rose Arena and Andres Munno's
- 22:37Speaker 2: first pitch is at five o'clock. But coming up next,
- 22:41Speaker 2: we talked about it so much last week that we
- 22:44Speaker 2: do now have to discuss the results of Max Crosby
- 22:47Speaker 2: not coming to Seattle Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 22:51Speaker 2: e KHRFM. Hey, good morning, it is a Monday. It
- 23:04Speaker 2: is day number one of Tampafest twenty twenty six. That's right,
- 23:08Speaker 2: the NFL free agency frenzy begins with the tampering period
- 23:12Speaker 2: opening this morning at nine am. Who knows what we're
- 23:16Speaker 2: going to get before nine am, and then who knows
- 23:20Speaker 2: how raucus it's going to get before the end of
- 23:22Speaker 2: our show at ten o'clock, but we're prepared one way
- 23:26Speaker 2: or the other. The Miami Dolphins have made a lot
- 23:28Speaker 2: of news here this morning, already nothing from a free
- 23:32Speaker 2: agency standpoint, but they are trying to set their situation
- 23:37Speaker 2: in order for the coming years. They have gone ahead
- 23:40Speaker 2: and released to a tongue of Iloa, swallowing about one
- 23:43Speaker 2: hundred million dollars in dead caps in order to just
- 23:47Speaker 2: get rid of the guy, just to get him out
- 23:49Speaker 2: of the building. And then they've also traded away veteran
- 23:53Speaker 2: Minka Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets in exchange for
- 23:56Speaker 2: a seventh round pick, so he is heading to the
- 24:00Speaker 2: Chargers for a seventh round pick. So think, you know,
- 24:04Speaker 2: I mean, these are just all classic, you know, I know,
- 24:07Speaker 2: you think we've been rebuilding a lot moves, and yet
- 24:12Speaker 2: now we're really, really, really going to rebuild. That's what
- 24:15Speaker 2: it feels like down there in Miami with a new
- 24:17Speaker 2: regime taking over and movements of veterans just to get
- 24:21Speaker 2: them out of the building. And so that's the way
- 24:24Speaker 2: that it starts. This morning. But the weekend began with
- 24:28Speaker 2: us on Friday wondering what was going to happen on
- 24:32Speaker 2: the Max Crosby front. We spent an entire week kind
- 24:35Speaker 2: of discussing the possibility of Max Crosby coming to Seattle,
- 24:40Speaker 2: and it sounded like that John Schneider had interests and
- 24:43Speaker 2: had had interest for years in bringing Max Crosby to Seattle.
- 24:48Speaker 2: We discussed what that price tag might be, all sorts
- 24:50Speaker 2: of things last week, and now we know a couple
- 24:54Speaker 2: of things. The Raiders did move him. He's not coming
- 24:57Speaker 2: to Seattle, He's going to Baltimore. The price for such
- 25:01Speaker 2: a player at that salary and at that caliber, he
- 25:06Speaker 2: is worth apparently two first round draft picks, which maybe
- 25:11Speaker 2: the Seahawks were willing to give two first round picks,
- 25:14Speaker 2: But obviously Baltimore's two first round picks are better than
- 25:18Speaker 2: the seahawks next two first round picks, and so even
- 25:22Speaker 2: if John Schneider did offer that same package, obviously Baltimore's
- 25:27Speaker 2: two fresh rounders are more appealing.
- 25:29Speaker 3: Yeah, this one is for sure right this year. I
- 25:32Speaker 3: mean it's like substantially better when from the last pick
- 25:35Speaker 3: to I mean, the Ravens were eight to nine last year.
- 25:38Speaker 3: So yeah, so they're down there, they're down their way,
- 25:41Speaker 3: so a much better first round pick. And yet it's
- 25:45Speaker 3: a good I mean, I think it's a good deal
- 25:48Speaker 3: for them. I mean thirty million bucks. I think the
- 25:51Speaker 3: deal that he just signed a year ago basically takes
- 25:55Speaker 3: him through a couple more It was two years this
- 25:58Speaker 3: year and next year, and then they could get out
- 26:00Speaker 3: if he's the injuries continued him mount or you know,
- 26:04Speaker 3: you'd pay thirty million bucks this year, thirty million next
- 26:06Speaker 3: year basically, and if you wanted to get out from
- 26:08Speaker 3: underneath it at that point you can with zero dead
- 26:10Speaker 3: money if you want. You still have him on contract
- 26:13Speaker 3: for a couple more years. So it's one of those
- 26:15Speaker 3: you're going to get something out of this guy, and
- 26:17Speaker 3: I think it's a I thought it was a great move.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Whoever goes out and picks that guy up. Baltimore Ravens. Obviously,
- 26:23Speaker 3: they they're overlooking the eight and nine record they had
- 26:26Speaker 3: this year.
- 26:26Speaker 4: They kind of feel like they're still in that championship window.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't blame them for feeling that way.
- 26:31Speaker 2: And this is a championship move. You don't add somebody
- 26:36Speaker 2: to your payroll worth thirty million dollars. If you don't
- 26:38Speaker 2: think that, he puts you over the top, puts you
- 26:41Speaker 2: back into that Super Bowl conversation. So I certainly get
- 26:46Speaker 2: it from their perspective, there's no question about it. And
- 26:50Speaker 2: yet we sit here today talking about how what might
- 26:54Speaker 2: have been, what could have been. I don't know how
- 26:56Speaker 2: much sweeter of a deal that John Schneider could have offered.
- 27:00Speaker 2: We didn't even know if John Schneider made an offer, because,
- 27:02Speaker 2: let's face it, I mean history shows then, no matter
- 27:06Speaker 2: how good the player is, that giving up two first
- 27:09Speaker 2: round picks for a high priced somebody that's really good
- 27:13Speaker 2: but carries a really big salary doesn't work. I mean
- 27:17Speaker 2: usually it just does not work. Usually the team that
- 27:21Speaker 2: gets the draft picks ends up winning the trade. That's
- 27:24Speaker 2: what history shows us. So Ashley, who knows if John
- 27:27Speaker 2: Schneider was ever interested in this to begin with? Maybe
- 27:30Speaker 2: I think he does love to sit back and watch
- 27:33Speaker 2: other people speculate about how he's thinking. Yeah, but I
- 27:38Speaker 2: think it would have been a nice addition. I think
- 27:40Speaker 2: it would have been worth two first round selections when
- 27:43Speaker 2: you're drafting Solo in the first round this year. And
- 27:47Speaker 2: maybe he did offer it, But certainly they couldn't offer
- 27:50Speaker 2: two better picks than what the Ravens did.
- 27:53Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was my thinking too, is if it
- 27:55Speaker 5: was going to be, you know, the thirty second pick
- 27:57Speaker 5: this year and thirty second pick next year, Yeah, give
- 28:00Speaker 5: those up.
- 28:00Speaker 1: That's fine, especially to get Crosby.
- 28:02Speaker 5: But the problem with the thirty second pick in both
- 28:05Speaker 5: those rounds is that that is the worst two first
- 28:08Speaker 5: round picks that you can offer for somebody.
- 28:10Speaker 1: So there's a high chance you could get beat out.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, well, I mean, and who knows, I mean
- 28:14Speaker 2: maybe maybe they weren't in it at all. They could
- 28:18Speaker 2: have sweetened it, They could have added a player to
- 28:20Speaker 2: the deal if they really wanted him, but that didn't happen.
- 28:25Speaker 2: So Max Crosby is now a Baltimore Raven and the
- 28:29Speaker 2: Seahawks aren't on the hook for a thirty million dollars
- 28:32Speaker 2: per year player. And it will be interesting to see
- 28:35Speaker 2: what they do with their finances this year. I mean,
- 28:39Speaker 2: by the end of the week, it really did feel
- 28:42Speaker 2: like Seahawks may just let every one of their free
- 28:45Speaker 2: agents walk, that they're all going to be overpriced, and
- 28:49Speaker 2: it's just nothing that John Schneider wants or is willing
- 28:53Speaker 2: to do. He's going to get value for his dollar
- 28:57Speaker 2: and he's not going to stand on sentimentality with any
- 29:02Speaker 2: of this. I mean, by the end of the week,
- 29:04Speaker 2: I just didn't feel like anybody was going to be
- 29:07Speaker 2: back with the Seahawks because being Super Bowl champions that
- 29:10Speaker 2: was going to drive up all the market value for them.
- 29:14Speaker 2: So I mean, we shall see. It does sound like
- 29:17Speaker 2: they're working on Kobe Bryant to the midnight hour if
- 29:19Speaker 2: no one else. And yet John Schneider's not gonna play.
- 29:25Speaker 2: You know, there are a lot of dumb general managers
- 29:28Speaker 2: in this league, there really are, and dumb general managers
- 29:31Speaker 2: with a lot of cap space to work with make
- 29:34Speaker 2: decisions that take smart general managers like John Schneider out
- 29:39Speaker 2: of the conversation pretty quickly. So I and John, we
- 29:43Speaker 2: must trust he's on fire right now. And if he
- 29:47Speaker 2: decides that, hey, I'm not paying market value to keep
- 29:51Speaker 2: our guys even though I love them, then I think
- 29:54Speaker 2: that we got to go with him on that.
- 29:56Speaker 3: I think every general manager has a vision in mind
- 29:59Speaker 3: of what they're trying to do, and I think they
- 30:01Speaker 3: probably look at, you know, the thirty thousand foot view
- 30:04Speaker 3: and then narrow it down right to each individual player
- 30:07Speaker 3: and their contract and what that looks like and the
- 30:10Speaker 3: big picture, and then typically desperation starts to set in
- 30:15Speaker 3: if you're not winning and you feel like your job
- 30:18Speaker 3: might be on the line, where you all of a.
- 30:19Speaker 4: Sudden feel like I kind of have to make one
- 30:21Speaker 4: of these big movies.
- 30:23Speaker 3: I have to be splashy in free agency or in
- 30:26Speaker 3: trades at this point in time to make it look
- 30:30Speaker 3: like that I'm I'm going out there, and I'm even
- 30:33Speaker 3: if I'm not going all in, it looks like I'm
- 30:34Speaker 3: close to pushing all my chips in. John Schneider is
- 30:37Speaker 3: about the least desperate of anybody out there, considering coming
- 30:42Speaker 3: off of a Super Bowl, considering the fact that you
- 30:44Speaker 3: know he's getting the accolades that are warranted, and I
- 30:47Speaker 3: don't think it's changed. I don't think if they didn't
- 30:49Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl, he would be less, he would
- 30:51Speaker 3: look be looked down upon. But it's one of those
- 30:54Speaker 3: when all of a sudden you hear he's the first
- 30:56Speaker 3: general manager to ever win two Super Bowls with a
- 30:58Speaker 3: completely different team. We just gives you an overarching view
- 31:01Speaker 3: of the guy that maybe from the outside, if you
- 31:03Speaker 3: weren't covering this team on a daily basis, you'd be like, Wow,
- 31:06Speaker 3: that guy really has his stuff together. He kind of
- 31:08Speaker 3: has it. I think everybody understands you should trust in
- 31:12Speaker 3: John Schneider if you're a Seahawk fan, because he does
- 31:15Speaker 3: typically stick to his guns. He doesn't usually get swayed
- 31:19Speaker 3: by things, even when the seasons towards the end of
- 31:23Speaker 3: Pete Cara, we're kind of getting into just the middle
- 31:26Speaker 3: in around of mediocrity. He ended up making the tough
- 31:29Speaker 3: decision to move on from a very beloved coach, a
- 31:34Speaker 3: guy that had done some good things as far as
- 31:36Speaker 3: the quarterback goes, and he just completely flipped this thing
- 31:38Speaker 3: around and it turns into another Super Bowl. So yeah,
- 31:42Speaker 3: he's gonna stick to what he wants to do. And
- 31:44Speaker 3: if that means everybody that's a free agent's going to
- 31:47Speaker 3: be higher priced because of the fact that they all
- 31:49Speaker 3: got to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, then so be it.
- 31:51Speaker 5: It is interesting though, because when we did start talking
- 31:53Speaker 5: about the free agents and the chances of them all
- 31:55Speaker 5: coming back, I was like, oh, yeah, four, we're gonna get.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Four of the six. And now I'm like, are we
- 31:59Speaker 1: going to get one?
- 32:00Speaker 2: Yeah? I felt two Max and now I don't know
- 32:04Speaker 2: if any.
- 32:05Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just over the course of the week, how
- 32:07Speaker 5: much changed was pretty incredible, honestly.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, certainly the conversation and how much the narrative
- 32:14Speaker 2: had shifted. And I just want to say this before
- 32:17Speaker 2: we move on any further. I don't think that it's
- 32:19Speaker 2: a good practice. Greg Bell pointed this out last week.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Let the other teams try to build their team through
- 32:26Speaker 2: free agency. I think that the sport, most sports have
- 32:31Speaker 2: to be built through the draft prospects. I think that's
- 32:35Speaker 2: usually you set your foundation and then you use free
- 32:37Speaker 2: agency to fill the holes. I think that that's sound.
- 32:41Speaker 2: That's the way to build franchises today in the NFL
- 32:45Speaker 2: and Major League Baseball. That said, the New England Patriots
- 32:49Speaker 2: just gave us an example of a team that pretty
- 32:53Speaker 2: much built their entire you know, Super Bowl AFC champion
- 32:58Speaker 2: team around free agency. They went all in, hit on
- 33:02Speaker 2: almost all their picks last year, spent way more than
- 33:05Speaker 2: anybody else on free agency, and they went from four
- 33:08Speaker 2: wins to the Super Bowl. So it can be done.
- 33:12Speaker 2: It's just not going to be done by John Schneider.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Craig Bell's going to join us at seven oh five
- 33:17Speaker 2: here this morning. We will also have your headlines. We'll
- 33:20Speaker 2: be updating you all morning long with any free agent
- 33:23Speaker 2: news out there. But coming up next it's Monday. We
- 33:25Speaker 2: got to hear from Coach Bucky. Sports Radio ninety three
- 33:28Speaker 2: point three KHRFM. Coach Bucky is here, and yes, we
- 33:32Speaker 2: have a lot of things to discuss with the frenzy
- 33:35Speaker 2: getting here with the NFL free agency, but doesn't mean
- 33:39Speaker 2: we're not going to check in with Coach Bucky. So
- 33:42Speaker 2: the man that has coached every sport at every level
- 33:45Speaker 2: has joined us here again in studio. So today's free
- 33:49Speaker 2: agency frenzy. I realize Coach Bucky, that you're not going
- 33:53Speaker 2: to be able to tell what John Schneider is going
- 33:56Speaker 2: to do until he does it. I mean, you're here, Coach,
- 33:59Speaker 2: You're awesome. You're not something Greg Bell want to be.
- 34:02Speaker 4: No.
- 34:03Speaker 2: So, but you can tell us which of the six
- 34:06Speaker 2: free agents. If it were you, I'm not gonna let
- 34:09Speaker 2: reach free agency. You got Ken Walker, you got Rashi Chad,
- 34:13Speaker 2: you got Rik wollen Boye, Mafe, Josh Job and Kobe Bryant.
- 34:17Speaker 2: If Coach Bucky was coaching this team, he's not gonna
- 34:20Speaker 2: let one of these guys hit free agency at all,
- 34:23Speaker 2: he's signing him before nine am.
- 34:24Speaker 3: To Oh, I would probably say Kobe Bryant. I think
- 34:29Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant is the one that feels and I don't
- 34:33Speaker 3: know why. I don't know why I feel less about
- 34:36Speaker 3: Ken Walker. I mean, I think probably because a contract
- 34:39Speaker 3: year for him, and until the injury, it was almost
- 34:43Speaker 3: an even timeshare, and then with Zach Charboney, and then
- 34:48Speaker 3: and then there was a bunch of times obviously in
- 34:50Speaker 3: key moments that they went to Zach Charboney. So it's
- 34:53Speaker 3: in a way it's like Ken Walker. I'll just say,
- 34:55Speaker 3: it doesn't feel necessary like he's Mike McDonald's guy, So
- 35:00Speaker 3: in essence, maybe not John Schneider's guy, right, because I
- 35:02Speaker 3: do think those two are walking in lockstep at this point,
- 35:05Speaker 3: whereas Kobe Bryant to me, does feel like a Mike
- 35:10Speaker 3: McDonald type of guy, Like he feels like, you know,
- 35:12Speaker 3: when Mike McDonald came in here and made those adjustments
- 35:15Speaker 3: to the linebackers right off the bat, there was never
- 35:19Speaker 3: a time where I think he was thinking that about
- 35:21Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant or Julian Love. I think you feel like
- 35:23Speaker 3: he felt like the back ends locked in Even when
- 35:27Speaker 3: we go out and we spend a draft pick on
- 35:29Speaker 3: Nick emn Warry, it wasn't to replace one of those guys.
- 35:31Speaker 3: It was to add the X factor that what he
- 35:33Speaker 3: brings to the table. So to me, it's on the
- 35:35Speaker 3: defensive side is kind of where my mind goes. And
- 35:38Speaker 3: yet when you think about boy Mafi or Tyreek Woolan,
- 35:42Speaker 3: to me, those two guys, I could see him them saying, Hey,
- 35:45Speaker 3: thanks for your time, appreciate what you did. I can
- 35:48Speaker 3: see plenty of flaws that I could upgrade with someone else,
- 35:51Speaker 3: whereas Kobe Bryant to me, feels like one that's like
- 35:53Speaker 3: I really like all that he brings to the table.
- 35:55Speaker 2: All right, next up, Look, I get it. We're not
- 35:59Speaker 2: supposed to put it any stock and spring training numbers
- 36:02Speaker 2: they've just led us astray year after year. We've been
- 36:05Speaker 2: burned so many times by believing that somebody's spring training
- 36:08Speaker 2: numbers suggest that they are going to be better than
- 36:12Speaker 2: maybe they actually are. But when do we start paying
- 36:16Speaker 2: attention to what Brendan Davis is doing? Hitting a home
- 36:20Speaker 2: run nearly every time he plays, and over the weekend
- 36:22Speaker 2: he at won four hundred and sixty four feet.
- 36:25Speaker 4: Well you're paying attention to it. I don't think that.
- 36:28Speaker 3: I don't think he's in the mix probably at this
- 36:31Speaker 3: point in time, simply because you do have to discount.
- 36:34Speaker 3: I mean that one was off. The miss the young
- 36:37Speaker 3: phenom from miserrousis, yeah, that we hit it five miles
- 36:41Speaker 3: yesterday or day before whatever that was. So I mean
- 36:44Speaker 3: it's not like he can't do it, but some of
- 36:45Speaker 3: the hits that he's been having have been against guys
- 36:48Speaker 3: that aren't going to be on big league rosters, and
- 36:50Speaker 3: so you got to discount some of it. I mean,
- 36:52Speaker 3: the Arizona air, the ball does jump there, I would
- 36:55Speaker 3: it would to me. It's more of a well, this
- 36:57Speaker 3: guy's opening my eyes that he might be a piece
- 37:00Speaker 3: this season. Now, maybe not in spring training, because I'm
- 37:03Speaker 3: not going to change my view. You're not going to
- 37:07Speaker 3: have some non roster invite come to spring training and
- 37:10Speaker 3: all of a sudden eject somebody that you had plans
- 37:13Speaker 3: all off season. You know, twenty at bats he's going
- 37:16Speaker 3: to say, well, sorry, Luke Raley.
- 37:18Speaker 4: You're out of here.
- 37:19Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Victor Roeblis or Cans, whoever you had thought
- 37:23Speaker 3: that was penciled into that spot. Twenty at bats is
- 37:25Speaker 3: not going to change that, but it can change your
- 37:27Speaker 3: perception of what you think he might be for the
- 37:30Speaker 3: team moving forward. And moving forward could be a month
- 37:32Speaker 3: in the season, or at the trade deadline or in September.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Coach Bucket was also a part of the WWE from
- 37:39Speaker 2: nineteen eighty I was to nineteen ninety four and once
- 37:43Speaker 2: trained Jake Lamada to championship stats. I said in boxing,
- 37:47Speaker 2: so I would ask you would the WWE interfere with
- 37:51Speaker 2: Logan Paul fighting NFL players like he claims that they are.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Now he's taken back his million dollar offer. A lot
- 37:59Speaker 2: of people want to fight him because he says his
- 38:02Speaker 2: boss won't let him.
- 38:03Speaker 3: I saw a I did see a phone call with
- 38:08Speaker 3: someone on speakerphone him basically pretending or it was somebody
- 38:12Speaker 3: from w like we can't we just can't take a risk.
- 38:14Speaker 3: And he sounds a lot like yeah, phone right, Yeah,
- 38:18Speaker 3: So it could be any one of his friends. I held,
- 38:20Speaker 3: call me, act like you're somebody important, tell me I
- 38:22Speaker 3: can't do it, and I'll go, what do you talk about?
- 38:24Speaker 3: There's no risk, I don't. I have a hard time
- 38:27Speaker 3: seeing the WWE do anything that is to protect their assets.
- 38:33Speaker 3: I mean, these guys jump off of, you know, twenty
- 38:36Speaker 3: foot things on the tables. They're not worried about the
- 38:40Speaker 3: health of these guys. And if you were to have
- 38:42Speaker 3: one of your superstars promote fighting some NFL guy, they're
- 38:48Speaker 3: all about the promotion. They're all about it. I don't
- 38:51Speaker 3: think that there's a chance in hell that the WW
- 38:54Speaker 3: is like, no, you mean too much to us. Yeah,
- 38:57Speaker 3: they got him written into some scripts, but they could
- 39:00Speaker 3: rewrite that script, especially if all of a sudden he's
- 39:02Speaker 3: he's going to go out there and just bring a
- 39:04Speaker 3: whole bunch of eyeballs, which I don't know how many
- 39:06Speaker 3: eyeballs it's going to bring. Not as many as WWE brings,
- 39:08Speaker 3: but it brings some extra ones.
- 39:10Speaker 5: Yeah, Now, and I was gonna say, also, what are
- 39:13Speaker 5: the odds that you would be recording the phone call
- 39:15Speaker 5: that you didn't know was coming.
- 39:17Speaker 2: He might record everything in there line, which, Oh, don't
- 39:20Speaker 2: get me don't get me wrong, I think he's totally lying.
- 39:23Speaker 2: I think, yeah, he wrote a check that his ass
- 39:25Speaker 2: won't cast. That's what I think happened. All Right, we'll
- 39:28Speaker 2: talk more about it later on in the show, but
- 39:30Speaker 2: we got to get the headlines next plus Greg Bell
- 39:32Speaker 2: on this free agency frenzy Monday, Get your tamp on
