  Speaker 1: M hm.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Today I want to talk about feet draggers.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Oh I despise them.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Do you? Because I was going to call out our.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Own bosses, pretend I didn't see.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Probably should have warned you in advance at that, kiddy.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: You guys are great.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: But I mean, if you're sitting there in your in
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: your office right now and you have gone home for
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: eleven consecutive nights and complained about your boss dragon his
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: or her feet, like, why can't we we know what
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: decisions we got to make. Can we just make them?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's it's it's not just you, just
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: like I want to tell Ashley, it's not just us, Okay,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: it's everywhere in the world. I don't know why. I mean,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: it seems like we get a lot of things accomplished
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: as a community. Yes, as a globe. Seems like we're
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: always like building bridges and fixing roads. Maybe not in
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a timely fashion, But that gets back to the feet
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: dragging aspect. It does feel it does feel like we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: get things done eventually, But I think we're living in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the feet dragon is time and the history of the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: world right now.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what's the most annoying part about
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that is. Then the feet draggers like to comment on
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the little things they've accomplished on the way to the
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: big things, like, oh, well, yeah, we know this is
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: taken along, but look at this bouquet of flowers I've made,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: and I wove this basket all on my own.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Took me seventeen years to finish it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but look at it. Yeah, and then don't look
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: at the rest of this stuff.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I guess I'm a feet tragger. I've
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: written a lot of books. I've not really tried to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: pursue publishing them because when I tried it the first time,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I ran into so many walls. I'm like, I don't
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: want to do this. I don't I like writing. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: don't want to be my own publisher. I don't want
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to be my own pr team.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And so maybe I'm a feat tragger. I don't know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: but it feels like our bosses are all feet draggers.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And the NBA might be the greatest example of this.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I think Adam Silver is really good at what he
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: does for the most part. I mean, I've got my
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: problems with them. A lot of people do. But what NBA,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: what commissioner of a league, do we not have problems
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: with Yeah, I certainly have my fair share of problems
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: with Roger Goodell, and he seems to be running a
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: pretty good operation there.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a lot of problems with you people.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Seems to be the head of a pretty powerful empire,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that Roger Goodell. And yet I could pick him apart
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: for days on the things that I don't like that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: he does. He gets booed everywhere he goes, for goodness
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: sake because of those shortcomings. Well, Adam Silver, I mean,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: he has the Board of Governor's meeting in Vegas yesterday,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: he meets with the media, he discloses the latest with
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: everything going on in the National Basketball Association, and before
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I get to the Sonics, I will just just to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: illustrate my entire point for how I started this segment.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: He actually said yesterday, when asked about the Kawhi Leonard situation,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that's something we probably need to get done before the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: season starts.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Something you probably need to get done.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I think he said probably. Either way, he said something
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to the effect of, that's something we're gonna need to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: get done before the season starts. Probably, Adam no effing kidding.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: What do you mean that's something to get it done now?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Your investigation needs to en Now.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Has it been going on for like ten months?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: There are teams that are there's a trade on hold,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a major trade, and the Raptors can't do anything more
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: with their offseason, and the Clippers can't do anything more
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: with their off season while you keep this trade on hold. Yeah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and you're saying your timeline is that, yeah, we should
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: get this, We should get this done before the season begins.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Season begins.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, what are you talking about? Not October? Today?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Is today? Is Tuesday, which is yesterday.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: This should be.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Done by the end of the workday. The investigation is over,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: make a ruling, make a decision. Teams are waiting, players
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: are waiting on what their future is. You've had a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: year to investigate this. Yeah, what do you mean it's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you're going to get it done by the beginning of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the season, set a date and have it done like
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: this is not hard?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Well, and they should have set the date three months
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: ago and had it done by then so that it
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: wasn't going to affect anyone in their draft. Around the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: draft and a Brown what picks they wanted to trade
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: for and about what moves they want to absolutely.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Clippers have been out of the playoffs
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: for a long time. By how you didn't go in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: with your two best guys and you know, investigate the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: hell out of this thing so that you can make
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a ruling the moment the off season began, like the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: moment the NBA finals. Have your celebration and the next
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: morning you should have announced a ruling on the Kawhi
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Leonard thing so that the Clippers and Raptors knew. And
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: if you want to punish the Clippers, fine, but the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Raptors and anybody else that was interested in Kawhi Leonard
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: needed to know what the score was on whether or
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: not he was going to be eligible next year. You
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: are holding two franchises, one completely innocent hostage of making
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: their off season plans because you can't expedite an investigation
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and make a ruling that you've had months to figure out.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And that leads us to the Sonics. How did we
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: not get more concrete information yesterday? How did the press
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: conference end in regards to the Sonics decision with we
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: should have this wrapped up by year's end, right, We
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: hope that it will be wrapped up by year's end.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: What on earth are you dragging your feet? Do you
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: even have feet left? You've been dragging your feet on
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: this for so long. I'm surprised you don't have bloody
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: stubs for feet at this point, like the toes should
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: be worn off up to the shin for goodness sake.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: For how long you've been dragging your feet and bony,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: stubby ankle parts through the muck in order to make
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: this decision? I mean, did the sale of the Seahawks
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: delay this even more?
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: There's always something.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Did you think, oh, wow, maybe we're not charging enough
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: nine point six billion dollars? Well, let's keep this thing
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: open for a little while longer. Let's use this press
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: conference to tell all potential billionaires, Hey, this is a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: really smart businessman, this Koshla guy, and he's investing in
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: professional sports. He upped the anti fifty nine percent over
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the last jump an expanse not an expansion process, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: NFL value. He uped at fifty nine percent from the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: last sale that we had. We're not anywhere close to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: those numbers. So hear ye, all billionaires out there, you
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: might want to study this Microsoft Sun Microsystems guy over here,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: he's investing for a reason, and he's really smart. I
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: need more money and I need more people involved in
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the process. Is that what happened, because that's what I'm
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: reading into it. Just another excuse for you to delay
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: what seems to be an obvious decision. You have been
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: teasing around about expanding in the NBA. You have already
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: chosen Seattle and Lost Vegas. You were supposed to be
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: vetting them and having a decision by this time, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: we're going to kick the can down the road until
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the year, hopefully by year's end. Hey, take that am
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: highest bid and let's go like, hold an auction, have
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: a public auction, have a private auction, have a silent auction.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I don't care. You already know Seattle's in one way
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: or the other. If you're gonna just continuously wait for well,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you gotta wait on that sale. Let's see what that
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: what that what fruit that bears? Oh, let's find out
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: what this Portland situation. We'll get to the bottom of
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the Portland situation. Hey, I cannot believe how much longer
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that they are dragging this thing out, and it is
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: absolutely unnecessary. You have been teasing around about this for four, five, six, seven,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: eight years, make a plan, let's go with it. Stop
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: dicking around. It's time to announce whether they're going to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: expand or not, or whether you're going to move to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: franchises or not, or how those two things are going
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: to intertwine. But man to have a press conference in
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a Board of Governor's meeting and give us another loose
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: date way in the future, it is absurd.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Well, and this is why when we got the announcement
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: about that they were looking at it, or they were
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: going to have talks about it, or they were going
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: to investigate the possibility of expansion to Seattle in Vegas.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't get too excited because it's the same stuff
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: we keep hearing all the time and all the time.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And yes, is it getting more solid as the years
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: go on, Yeah, it is. The chances that we get
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: a team back, they're getting higher as the years go on.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: But when are we going to get a team back
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: when that happens, I just don't have any faith in it,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: nor so I've said it from the beginning, I will
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: continue to say it. I will not be excited about
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: us getting a team until that whole thing is stamped.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna invest my energy into the NBA and
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the word vomit that they do or don't spew, because
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: there's always something that comes first.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Always, And I think you represent a lot of people
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: listening out there. I think that you or the voice
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: of that person. I believe it's done. I think the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Sonics now it might be expansion, and it might be relocation.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I think the Sonics are coming back. But the but
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and I think Adam Silver knows that the Sonics are
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: coming back. But my goodness, every single time you open
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: your mouth, it's just to announce the world a new
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: soft deadline that you've extended six more months into the future.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: And no, and nothing about the deadline that is now
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: passing that you had talked about last time. Like they're
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: not sitting there saying, yeah, we know we said something
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: would happen in July, but they're not. They just don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: acknowledge it. They just moved to the next.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: One he's thrown. I mean, he's like the agent of
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the football player who says there's a lot of interest
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in our guys, even though there's only one team that's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: really interested. I'm sure there is a lot of interest.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there are very few that are seriously interested.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And yet I think he saw that nine point six
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: billion dollar sale in the National Football League and thought
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we can do better. Let me float out there are
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of interested parties, not just the one you
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: know about, and I want to tantalize others to get
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: into the bidding so that we can jack these prices up.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And apparently the Vegas interest is a little is a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: lot softer than the Seattle interest, and so he probably
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: wants to stir that pot a little bit more. He's
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: probably wanting to use the nine point six billion dollar
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: sale to try to drum up other billionaires to get
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: into the professional sports world. Since Cosla thinks it's such
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a great investment, that's probably what he's doing. But it
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: is intolerable. Hey, how many more times are you going
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: to extend this soft deadline? Stop dragging feet? Make a decision.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You know you've already made your decision. It's just a
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: matter of who you're going to sell it to and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: for how much. That's that's all it is. And whether
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: or not Portland gets to keep its team and Memphis
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: gets to keep its team. Those are the decisions you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: already know. The answers. You're just trying to get more
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: money from the answers that you've already arrived at. That's
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: how I read it all, and I get why it's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: annoying and aggravating, especially those of you who are you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: died in the Wools Sonics fans that have been tortured
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the last fifteen to twenty years. I get it. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: get where you're coming from. But I think I don't
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: think you have to worry about getting a team. But
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know when this right, this guy's going to
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: get around to actually pooping. I mean, he've been sitting
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: on the pot for two decades. Yeah, but I don't know.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe eat more fiber, let's go. Yeah, and that's the yeah,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: hascone and some coffee. It works for me.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Thank you for that, all right.
• 13:04

• 14:35
  Speaker 2: noon right here on Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: kJ r FM. Argentina versus England. Yesterday, Spain took out
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: France to nil the final, Killian and Boppe and blamed
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: his coach for the loss. His coach blamed the referees,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: and I hope, I hope the refs blamed Killian and Babe. Yep,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: hope that's that that would be at for full circle here,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: but yes, another match today at noon and that leads
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: are headlines the highlights. They're provided by Fox Television. Speaking
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: of Fox Television, they also hosted last night the ninety
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: six playing of the Midsummer Classic, the Major League Baseball
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: All Star Game, where the American League did win four
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: to nothing over the National League. Three runs scored in
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the very first inning off Phillies starter Christopher Sanchez and
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: then not much offense at all the rest of the way.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Both pitching staffs dominated. I mean, the MVP of the
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: game was Cody Bellinger, who was one for three with
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: a single. Yeah, that's it, that's all. That's all he did,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: but it knocked in two runs, proved to be the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: game winner, and he won the Most Valuable Player award,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: even though he joked I didn't even hit it hard
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: after the game was over. But American League over the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: National League four to nothing. And so now all the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: All Star festivities are complete, we look forward to the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: second half of the season. Everyone's going to get two
• 15:58

  Speaker 2: Star representatives, and so we'll start the second half on Friday.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Mariners will be home for that. They'll take on the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants. We'll spend the next couple of days
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: getting you ready for the second half of the season.

• 16:54
  Speaker 2: be released tomorrow at ten am. We'll spend more time
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: on that on tomorrow's show. We are ten days till
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: raining camp as the Seahawks get ready to defend their
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: World championship, and our Huskies won series will continue today
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: at nine o'clock with Cam Cleland as we'll break down
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: tight ends and offensive lineman with Cam. We do it
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: every year as part of our Huskies Won series. Finally,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: from the NBA, we remain on Lebron Watch. I have
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: a feeling when we're going to find out about Lebron.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you about that later on in the show. Also,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Adam Silver concluded the NBA Board of Governor's meeting in
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas yesterday, met with the media for a substantial
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: amount of time and pretty much announced that we're kicking
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: this decision down the road another six months and it's off.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Isn't that fun?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: A soft six months?
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is like six months to six years.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see. Joining us now on the radio
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: program though part of our excellent coverage of the World
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Cup right here on KJAR Danny Jackson, who is the
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: voice of the Sounders, former sounder and he and Jackson
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Felts our roommates. Not a lot of people know that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Uh it's trying. So as I was saying it, I
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: was picturing it Danny making sure that he puts his
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: name Danny, because if he put Jackson on the milk.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: He might think that's his. So anyway, Danny Jackson joins
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: us here on the show.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I Danny, yeah, I just have to pull my ear
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: points out up to Jackson's snoring last night. So just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: back into it now.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It's actually very funny when you think about it. Danny
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and Jackson have become roommates. They've gotten so close covering
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the sounders together. All right, Sorry, I'm gonna stop laughing
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: about that. I just you know, you know why it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: funny because you would never allow that to happen. That's
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: why he was.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Fleeting next to him for sure.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: All Right, well, let's talk some World Cup. We're down
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: to three teams. I mean, you tell me it felt
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: like Spain handled France pretty easily yesterday?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Did it?
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Did it border on domination in your eyes? Yesterday? Spain
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: versus France.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Very much so. Spain strangled the center of the part.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: They dominated the midfield. It's really where it all happened.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And what has been France's weapon all tournament long, the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: highest goal scorers in the tournament was that offensive four
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: as good of an offensive threat as you've seen in
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: any World Cup at any time, and they just couldn't
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: get it going Bape. You could see the very end
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: he was pushing the goalkeeper down for Spain in frustration,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: just completely shut down for the entire game, and Spain
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: tactics were fantastic. They have had huge success over the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: last few years with their head coach Dela Fuente. They
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: have not lost a tournament game that the Euros where
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: they won in twenty twenty four, and then obviously the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: World Cup. They're on a great run so far. After
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: stubbing their toes somewhat in that first game when they're
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: tied nil nil, but it's been all Spain since then.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: They've been brilliant at the back, They've been really good
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: going forward. They've had some players step up, and of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: course they have the eighteen year old phenom lemn Jamal
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: who had a good game yesterday and is starting to
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: find his feet in this tournament. So I think it
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: was a surprise for everybody in the manner in which
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it happened, but Spain with deserving winners.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You know, this question is a little self serving, but
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of our listeners are kind of
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: in the same boat with me. They've probably watched more
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: soccer here in the last month than they have in
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: a long time, and are trying to like figure out
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: the game through the eyes of experts like yourself. So
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I have been saying throughout the tournament, if Mbope and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Messi are so dominant, then why don't you just double
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: triple team in the entire match and take them out
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: of the game. And I've been told that that just
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: doesn't work. And yet I know they didn't double or
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: triple team, but they did not let Imbope come up
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: for air yesterday. So I would just to ask you
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: what were the tactics that allowed Spain to take such
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: an important piece out of the match almost entirely, And
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: could England steal from some of that strategy today against Messi?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think Spain have always been a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: possession orientated team, so they've throughout the World Cups so
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: far they've had about sixty five percent of the ball.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: So that's the first line of defense. If you're forcing
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a team to chase you with the ball, that can
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: get demoralizing. It can get you can get fatigued, both
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: mentally and physically, of course, so when you actually get
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the ball back, then of course you have to do
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: something with it, and when you're tired, that's when mistakes happen.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: And even the best players in the world is you know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: as soon as you get a ball, you'd be chasing
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the ball.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: You have to.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: The expectation is heavy from the country that you have
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to do something with it, and it just didn't work out.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: On the flip side, what Spain showed was the way
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to play as a team, not just as a group
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of individuals. They did lose the ball at times, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: then what did they do. They did exactly what you said.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: They swarmed the ball with two or three players immediately.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: There was a great example of a player called Baino
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: who got pushed down in his attack in half of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the field and did he sit there and can't play? No,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: he didn't get the call. He jumped up, sprinted right
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: back and helped his teammates win the ball back. So
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it was a great example of how to play the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: team offensively with the ball, which they've done so well
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: for so many years, the Spanish. But then defensively they
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: did swarm the ball and they nullified everything that the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: France could give them. And it's not just a bappe,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: it's you know, Den Bealle was the worldt Player of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the Year just a couple of years ago. At least
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: they may be the biggest transfer coming out of soccer
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: going to Real Madrid. There's rumors of that, and you
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: have other players who have just won the Champions League
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: with Paris and Jaman So it's not just a Bape
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. He could swarm one player, but there's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: multiple and they did a fantastic job, all right.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: So Imbape blamed the coach, the coach blamed refs. Who's
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: more right?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: You know? I would say, think about the England situation
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: at the end of last game, you know, and the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: coach says the team didn't play well and then dude Bellingham,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: their superstar, snapback at the coach. Sometimes you can both
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: be right. I don't know if blaming the coach at
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: this point. A coach the Nddier de Champ for the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: French who has won the World Cup in nineteen ninety
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: eight as the captain, has won a World Cup in
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen as a coach for the national team. This
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: was his last game. It was a world record breaking
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: number of games twenty six games and the World Cup
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: as coach. That has not been surpassed by any of
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the coach so he's he's earnest status as one of
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the best and the most successful coaches, but on back
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: of courses, by all accounts, one of the most successful
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: players in the World Cup. Going into yesterday's game, he
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: had twenty goals from twenty World Cup games, which is
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: quite phenomenal.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. Nanny Jackson has weather a huge part
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: of our World Cup coverage and of course played by
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: play voice of the Seattle Reformer sounder himself, and we've
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: been leaning on his knowledge pretty heavily as a station
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and certainly on this show as well. So we're happy
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to have him this morning to talk about the final
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: three remaining in the World Cup. So what is it
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: going to take to get your mom's favorite soccer team
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: to the World Cup Final?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: You know, listen, yesterday's game was about the purest It
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: was a game where both teams play fantastic soccer with
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the ball. The crowd is a little more quiet than
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you'd expect for World Cup and that's just the nature
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: of the two countries and two sets of teams. Today
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: will be a wholly different situation. You've got two of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the most passionate sets of supporters in the Argentinians and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the English. They have traveled in their numbers. It will
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: be in a climate controlled environment now versus what it
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: was in Miami for the English, which was extremely hot.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Kansas City has been extremely hot and humid as well.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Where Argentina is play it will be in Atlanta Stadium
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and it will be emotional on the field. It will
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: be emotional off the field, and it's a question about
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: which players can can handle that emotion, that pressure and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: obviously execute at the right times. There's huge history with
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Argentina in England. It's not just on the pitch, but
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: also off the pitch. The Falklands War was a conflict
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: between Argentina and England back in the early eighties. That
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is still front very much on the forefront of the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: minds of the Argentinians are the people they lost in
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that conflict, and that carries on to the field. There's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a really famous image of Diego Maradona in the famous
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six game between Argentina and England and the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: World Cup and the Azteca, the famous ground in Mexico
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: City where he looks across the line of English players
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: with this kind of scorn look, and he was after
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the game he talked about how much the Falklands War
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: was on the forefront of his mind when he did
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the Hand of God and then, by all accounts, in
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: my opinion, the best goal ever scored in a World
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Cup when he took the ball half the length of
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the pitch and around seven English players and scored a
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: brilliant goal. So it's carried through with David Beckham sending
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: off in nineteen ninety eight in the World Cup between
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: England Argentina, and then the last game was two thousand
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and two when in a World Cup when England won
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: on penalties. So it's going to be an incredible game.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Brilliant players, Messige, you mentioned Harry Kine, Jude Bellingham and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a number of other world class players as well.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: What has Jude Bellingham done for his status in this sport.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he was already considered one of the best,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: but it's as if he's put his name in for
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: something more this tournament.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Jude Belling has been an interesting story of the last
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: few months. There was a question whether he would even
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: start for England. He was dropped by Thomas Took call
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the head coach of England a few camps ago in
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: preparation for the World Cup. He hasn't had a great
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: season in terms of fitness, but he's a brilliant, brilliant player,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: no question about it. He's world class. He plays at
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Real Madrid. He went there as a twenty roll in
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: his first season, I think he was top goalscorer player
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of the year in Spain for arguably the biggest club
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: in the world. And he's been dominant in this World Cup.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: He's carried England in the last two games. Harry Kane
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: got England out of the muck, so to speak, against
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the Congo with two late goals, and then it's been
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Jude Bellingham against Mexico at the Azteca, which was an
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: incredible feat of resilience there for the English down to
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: ten minute altitude against a boisterous crowd. And then obviously
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: in the heat of Miami he carried England with two
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: goals against Norway and the Great Harland. So he has
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: been a player that's carried a team on his back.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: He's a young player and he's very early twenties. I
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: think he's twenty two. He speaks eloquently he's great off
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the field, he's great on the field, and he's proven
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: himself to be truly a world class player at such
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: a young age, and you know the focus will be
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: on him for sure. But don't forget Harry Kaine, who
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: could be the player of the Year, the world's player
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: via this year after his season at Buying Munich. So
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: England definitely have the five pounds win this game.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Talking World Cup with Danny Jackson here this morning, I
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: don't know how much you follow American football. I would
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: imagine a little bit, so I'm sure you've heard the
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: name Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, a
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: lot of football fans think that the rest are in
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: on it, and they rig a lot of games and
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: they get all the calls, and I think most of
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: that is that they're just sick of watching the Kansas
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: City Chiefs win over the last few years. But then
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: once you start hearing people complain about that, it does
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: seem that they Rest do give them an advantage here
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: in there. It just kind of feels that way. And
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I'm getting the impression in in football that a lot
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: of countries, a lot of soccer fans worldwide kind of
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: feel like Argentina gets way too many calls, Messi gets
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: way too much benefit of the doubt, and there seems
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: to be to me, Danny, a real hatred for Argentina.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Could you explain that relationship between Messi, Argentina and the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: rest of the soccer world.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Well, they'd be incredibly successful number one, arguably Messy being
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the best player of all time, but silly in this
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: World Cup last two games. So against Egypt, there was
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: a goal that was disallowed for Egypt that would have
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: put them up two goals to nil. They eventually went
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: up to nil and then Argentina had this miraculous comeback
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to score three goals before the end of the regulation
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: time to win that game. But there was a foul
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that was given up in the run of player the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: goal was scored, it was called back by the referee
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: way back into their own defensive half of the field
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: after a foul played on an Argentinian player. There was
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: controversy to that, and then of course against Switzerland there
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: was the simulation yellow card where the Argentinian player got
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the yellow card. Initially it went to var video replay.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: It was seen that the Swiss player had simulated by
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: diving and rightly so got a yellow card and then
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that was his second yellow card and that got a
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: red and that allowed Argentina to really start dominating that
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: game again and eventually want it. There is some question
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: about some of the calls that are getting I do
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: think it's more about FIFA and some of the complex
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: do they place on tournaments like this When they try
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and change so many rules right on the eve of
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: a World Cup. It's confusing for players. It's equally confusing,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: of course for referees or a human and can be
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: caught up in the emotion of it all and trying
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to put together these new rules and regulations. And then
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: of course you have Messi on the other side, chirping
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: away as he does, try to influence things as best
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: he can. And I think there was a thing that
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: lip Breeder said in one of the media postings that
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: said Messi said something to the effect of, hey, do
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you know who I am? You need to make the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: right care So you know, is that hyberbally? Is that speculation?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Messi has earned his right to be respected, But certainly
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you hope that they pushed aside the fascinating about the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: refereeing for this game coming up at Argentina England. It's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a refining called Alfare, who is a MLS referee and
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he obviously has has rested a messy in MLS for Miami.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: He's a very well respected referee domestically. This will be
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the biggest game of his career. I would imagine, Uh,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: he's going to be required to really put a handle
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: on the emotion of it. It will be a fistfight,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: it will be a street fight. This game mixed in
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: with world class players, but he's going to have to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: temper that emotion, have to control that game and not
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: let it get out of hands. So it's it's a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: big game for the players, but a big game for
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: an American based referee as well. Which is which is?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Which is fantastic?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: All right? Speaking of emotions, what's England like right now
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: leading up to kickoff? What's the whole country? What's the
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: what's the temper there? Temper temperature there?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: You know, we've been fortunate, We've we've we've been the bridesmaid,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: never the pride. We've we've got the precipice of finals
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty in the Euros and we fell to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Italy We've lost of Croatia in the semi final of
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: a World Cup in twenty eighteen, so you know, we
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: think we should be here. It's the first time in
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: World Cup history that the top four seeded teams have
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: made the semi finals. So England is seated number four
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and I believe Argentina, based on their World Cup and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Copra America victories, are actually seated number one. You could
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: speculate should France be in that number one spot for sure,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: but England is definitely going to shut down, as will Argentina.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: They will be focused heavily on this game. The interesting
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: thing is being a twelve o'clock kick for Pacific time
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: three o'clock on the East Coast and Atlanta, well it's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock primetime in the UK, being eight hours ahead
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: of us on Pacific, so it will it will be
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: every set of eyeballs will be on this game. It's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: a chance to make to go to the World Cup final.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Of course with a German head coach, who would have thought.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be a fascinating matchup. But I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: think I think the English are quietly confident. I think
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: we have we believe we have a good chance. We
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: wanted this game, I think just for just for the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: theater of playing Argentina and Messi in the World Cup,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: which obviously for the English they want to make this
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the last game that Messi will ever play in a
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: World Cup and then get there on Sunday in New
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Jersey and play the Spanish in an all European final
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and hopefully get one over the finish line.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: All right, well, good luck, Go England.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Go England. It's coming home. It's coming home.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you man, have a blast today and we will
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: enjoy the coverage, so thank you very much.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate the time.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Danny Jackson joining us right here on the
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: radio program as today it will be Argentina versus England,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: and again that will be a noon start. Will have
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: pregame for you at eleven thirty, so you'll hear from
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: all of our experts then. So a lot of excitement
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: going into this one, no question about it. Let's go
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: all right, coming up next, we are ten days away
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: from all of our lives changing again for the batter
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Maybe everything for
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: you today is, oh, I gotta watch the soccer match.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Gotta watch that, and I need a environment where I'm
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: around other sports fans. I don't want to just sit
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: watch it at home or with my Aunt Betsy.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: No, she's terrible at watching soccer.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I got a pretty good feeling about who's going to win,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: and wouldn't hate to win some money off of this
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: hunch that I've got. Well, guess what you can satisfy
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: all of those interests at the Talala Persort Casino today.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Head on up there, watch the match at noon today.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Everything you want waiting for you there. There's food, there's drink,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: there's other forms of entertainment. But if you're just going
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: to lay down a couple ducats down on the old
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: soccer match, well you can do that too. Can't do
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: it at Aunt Betsy's, I'll tell you that much.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: She'll just stuff you full of Brussels sprouts.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: She's been cheating by that sportsbook of hers for years.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: All Right, it's Chuck and Ashley with you here this morning,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: reckless at breakfast before the hour comes to a close,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Brady Cannon. Of course, if it's knuck up on you
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: like it did me, sort of. We have our fourth
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: and final major of the year, the Open championship starts tomorrow,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: so we have to check in with the Las Vegas
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: golfer himself, Brady Cannon, at eight o'clock. But we are
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: ten days away from training camp, and so we have
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of these lists coming out, so ten days
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: away from training camp, and the one that's creating the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: most buzz out there ten days from camp is the
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: top ten quarterback list that ESPN's Jeremy He did his research,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: he ranked, or he polled coaches, executives and scouts. Doesn't
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: tell us which ones. I have no idea, but he
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: came out with his top ten lists. What really had
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: people buzzing is something we talked about yesterday in our
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: six o'clock hour, Josh Allen being ahead of Patrick Mahomes
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: and then and then here in Seattle. I'm sure they
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: weren't talking about this as much nationally since they've been
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: doubting our guy for years, but it was certainly conspicuous
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: to us that Sam Darnold did not crack the top
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: ten here in Seattle. So you know, maybe we're a
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: little bias, maybe we're riding this Super Bowl wave. So
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I thought maybe we have a conversation today Ashley on Okay,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: who would we take out. I mean it's one thing
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: to say our guy should be a top ten guy,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: but of the top ten guys, who do we think
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: our guy is better than that? We would trade him? Yeah,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: we we would not trade him for that quarterback. We
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: don't think that would be an upgrade. Okay, so let's
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: talk about Sam Donald and who really shouldn't be ahead
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: of him on this top ten list. Josh Allen, No, no,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think so either. Patrick Mahomes, No, no, I
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: don't think so either. Matthew Stafford, No, no, I don't
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: think so either. I mean Matt Stafford is the only
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: guy that solved Mike McDonald's defense last year. So yeah,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I mean he's just special now in terms of like
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: a long term investment, Yeah, maybe maybe I'll go there.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, Matt Stafford can't have too many more years.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: No, I would hope not.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know Joe Burrow. I mean, Joe Burrow is
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: very good, but he's very injury prone and doesn't seem
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: very reliable.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: You know what.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's fair to knock him a little bit,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: but I do believe when he's on the field, he
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: is exceptional, and so let's just put it this way.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I would rank Joe Burrow ahead of Sam Donald, but
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I I don't think it's a runaway right a favorite.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: It's is not as dependable because of his injuries.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Number five Lamar Jackson coming off a rough year.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: He did have a rough year, but I do think
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: he's better than last year actually showed. Yeah, so I
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: think i'd take Lamar.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too, And I think that we
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: do have to allow any player at any level and
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: any sport to have an off year. Yeah, I would agree,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: you know, and be able to, especially when they've accomplished
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: as much, at least individually as Lamar Jackson. I mean,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: he's won two MVPs and should have won the third. Correct,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: He was better than Josh Allen two years ago in
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: terms of his production, and so yeah, I think that
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Lamar gets a pass for twenty twenty six, and considering
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: everything that he's done on a football field, I'd rank
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: him ahead as well. So we're an agreement on this,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: but that he's next. Five. Dak Prescott at number six.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I can't quite understand all of the hype around Dak
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Prescott because I think that's fair. I mean, the team
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: underperforms every year, so what is he really doing for them?
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: I put Sam added Dak press Yeah, I think I
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: would too.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I like Dak Prescott, but I'll tell you,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: like three four years ago, I really like Dak Prescott
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: and I thought to myself, Man, this guy really gets overlooked.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: And yeah, he puts up numbers, but then again, he's
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: got CD Lamb and George Pickens last year in his lineup,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: and yeah, where are those big wins? Where are those
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: playoff wins? I mean, it seems like it's always about
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: championships until Sam Donald wins one, and now we look
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: at everything else but that, right, And so I would
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: put Sam Donald out of Dak Prescott.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: I would, yeah, And I do think obviously you can
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: blame the Cowboys defense on some of their crappiness, but
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: I just don't Yeah, I just don't understand why Dak
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Prescott is continuously so hyped.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is probably overhyped, and I've probably contributed to that.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: He's at number seven. I personally think he's excellent, except
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: for the fact that I think he has to we
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: have to lay some of that abuse that he takes
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: on himself. I think he is defiant in his getting
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: rid of the football. Yeah, he's downright. I know he
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't get a lot of protection, but it's almost as
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: if he's a glutton for punishment. Throw the damn ball away,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: and I'm really starting to run out of excuses.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: It can't be all on the offensive line, Herbert, right,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: But I do think he's an exceptional talent. So I
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: would put him ahead of Sam Darnold. But I'm going
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: to say for one more year and then that's it. Yeah,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: he improve it this year, and if Sam has a
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: little bit of an off year or I'm flip flopping
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: that next season for sure.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd have to prove something this year because you Yeah,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: we all know you're tough. We get it, but we
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: don't need to see it on display constantly. At some point,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: you've got to make smarter decisions and then some of
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: your biggest moments, you've made the most boneheaded decisions.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Drake may No, no, you wouldn't put Oh no, I
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: would not.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Put Drake may ahead of Sam Donald. I would put
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Sam Donald ahead of.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Drake may Well. They did play this little game called
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: How'd it go?
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Well? I will say this in Drake May's defense, Sam
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Donald didn't have to face the Seahawks defense. That's true, Okay.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: And Drake took a huge step forward in his second year.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I get why he's ranked ahead of Sam because you're
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: glowing for right now, You're kind of projecting in a
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: way for the upcoming year. And if he took that
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: big of a jump where he was an MVP candidate
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: in year number two, he's probably going to take another
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: jump forward in year number three. I don't know if
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: like head to head right now, I don't know. Maybe
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: that might be my bias poking through, But I do
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: understand why Drake May's on this list ahead of Sam Donald,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Jared Goff.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, he puts up a lot of numbers, but again,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: where are the big wins to go along with it?
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: They just seem to fall short, and it seems, oftentimes
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: to be partly his fault.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna put Sam ahead of Jared Goff, yeah at
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: this point. And I know I've come a long way
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: on Jared golfh Actually, he's been my fantasy quarterback for
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: each of the last two years.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love him, and I love the Lions. I
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: wish they could do better.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but considering how many weapons he has there in Detroit,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think it should be a big surprise that
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: he's having some statistical success there. But man, I think
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I think he shrinks sometimes in those big moments, and
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: our guy kind of stepped up in the biggest moments
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: a year ago. So I'd put Sam ahead of him,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: and then Caleb Williams is number ten.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I can understand why they put him
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: in there because Chicago had some very exciting moments last
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: year and he helped author a lot of those exciting endings.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: But the problem is some of those games shouldn't have
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: been as exciting as they were, and Chicago kind of
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: spent three quarters sucking their thumbs and then decided to
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: play in the fourth quarter. So I just can't. I
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: can't put him ahead of Sam down.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: He seemed to get a lot of good results last year,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: but I don't know if the process was equaled the results. Yeah,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: and you know who had a very similar season to
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams the year before, Jade and Daniels, And it's
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: like he had a horseshoe up as butt two years ago. Daniels, Well,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: guess what, that's lucky horseshoe fell out. And then I
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: thought Caleb Williams looked very similar all these crazy, wacky
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter comebacks. And there's no doubt that he's an
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: incredible talent that could be seen. But I don't know
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: if the decision making process was even good a year ago.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: So I mean, he he is a product of hype him.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: I'd put Sam ahead of him as well. So to me,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, as much as we're like not
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: top ten, I mean I still don't have him top eight,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: but I put Sam in the top ten. I put
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: him in over Prescott, Goff and Williams on this list.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: That's how I would do it. And I think that
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: it just is funny that World Championships moved the needle
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: so much for so many quarterbacks unless Sam wins it,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: and now it doesn't move the needle as much. So
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: I think Sam Donald's cracked the top ten in the
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: National Football League, and I think i'd put him right
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: there at about number nine.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And because it's not just about his athleticism or
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: his talent and skill, it's about as a whole. Can
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: you lead a team? Can you make the right decisions
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: in the right moments? And I think he's proven it.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: May eight or nine. I think I kind of double
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: spoke there eight eight. So I wouldn't put him out
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: of Herbert yet. I wouldn't put him ahead of May,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: but i'd put him out of Williams goff In Prescott.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I'd put him there at number eight. And I still
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: believe Sam Donald's got a lot more ceiling to reach.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I think in the last couple of years he's figured
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: out a lot of things about how to play this game,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: when to go for it, when to snap off, be aggressive.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: And I think that he's going to apply that to
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: a third season as a full time starter with the confidence.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: As Hugh Millen pointed out, he's never before had the
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: confidence of entering a season as a Super Bowl champion.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: We might yet see the best in Sam Darnold here
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: in the years to come.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and by the time the Seahawks win the fifth
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, other people will believe it too.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he'll get to the number seven. Yeah, after
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: five super Bowls. Reckless at breakfast next, Yeah, I got
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: to talk about Luis Castillo again today on Sports Radio

• 47:04
  Speaker 4: receive every mid July from Chuck Powell, please forward it
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: along and I will wear it proudly.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: I love it. All right, I'm going to think more
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: about this, all right. Well let's dive into this of
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: course where you know, I mean the Open Championships. Unlike
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: any of the other majors being played overseas, you've always
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: got some sort of course European type course and there's
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: always weather involved in all of this. So what should
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: we expect out of the course at Royal Birkdale over
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: the next four days and what should we expect out
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: of Southport, England weather the next four days?
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: Well, the weather's really tame. It's unseasonably warm. They actually
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: get started this evening Pacific time. You're in my time
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: about ten thirty at night. Yeah, that's when the first
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: t ball will be hit, so Thursday morning in England.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: But I believe it's supposed to reach near eighty degrees
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: on Thursday and then kind of settle into the low
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: seventies for the rest of the week. But that's still,
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: you know, pretty darn warm. They have not had any
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: rain in the area and if you look at reports,
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: you'll see that the golf course is already off color.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: It's very dry and very crispy. It's going to run
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: very firm and fast, and that's good, you know, if
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: you remember back in two thousand and six, we were
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: not too far away in Liverpool, which is just south
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: of where we are this week, and Tiger Woods famously,
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: you know, was hitting two irons all week off the
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: tee and did not hit a single bunker all week.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: So I do believe there will be a premium on
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: accuracy because of the conditions. The wind is also you know,
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: listed as very moderate, and of course that can change.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: We're right on the coast of the Irish Sea here,
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: but you know, showing anywhere from about five to twenty
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: miles an hour, kind of a steady ten to fifteen
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: throughout the four days, which is a little odd as well.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: You would expect, you know, one day to to gust
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: more than that. But we will see what mother nature
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: has in store. But right now it looks warm, firm, fast,
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: and you know, just moderately windy.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Well, who are the first couple names then to you
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: that come to mind that these conditions really favor these
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: couple of golfers.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I mentioned the premium on accuracy off the tea,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: so you know, I don't believe this is going to
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: be a bomber fest, you know, like Bryson de Shamba,
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: And this has really been Bryson's worst major championship. He's
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: yet to make a cut in any of the three
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: majors yet this season, and now he comes across the
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: one that's probably not suited for him the most of
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: the four. You know, now, with the conditions, maybe he
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: can blow it by everything, but you're you're really risking
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: a lot if you're going to, you know, strategize that way.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: We'll see how it works out for Bryson. But you know,
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: I kind of relate this golf course Birkedale. It's got
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: very flat fairways, It's not kind of that moguled undulated
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: you know links golf that we're used to. The moguls,
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: the sand dunes, if you will. They they border the
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: fairways and make for great viewing areas for the for
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: the fans. But the fairways between these sand dunes are
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: relatively flat, peppered with the pot bunkers smaller greens, And
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: I kind of relate it to some of the courses
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: we see here Stateside Sea Island, home of the RSM Classic,
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: and Georgia Yla Country Club, the Sony Open, and Hawaii
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Harbor Town in Hilton Head, South Carolina. These shorter, smaller,
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: more claustrophobic courses that are coastal where you have some
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: wind and and accuracy is more of a you know,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: a factor than than distance. And you know, I think
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: that kind of leads you towards the players like Russell
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: Henley and Shane Lowry and Colin Morikawa and not necessarily
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: the Rory McElroy's and Bryson Deshamba, And you know, I
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: think it's going to be a little bit more of
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: a plotter's tournament rather than a bomber's.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Brady Cannon is with us the Las Vegas Golf for himself,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: joys before every major of course, he is all over
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: the place these days, and and you can check out
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: his work right now. He's got a ride up there
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: for golf. Was a Golf Digest, Golf dot golf digest.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Why am I not? Why am I blanking on this?
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Golf dot com?
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Golf dot com? Yeah, golf dot com. So he's got
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: a full ride up there for you to check out
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: some of his favorite picks going in to this tournament,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: which we'll get to a couple of those here in
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: a moment. So, Scotty Scheffler is the defending champ, but
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: of course this isn't the Masters, It's not the same
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: course every year, So how much should we read into
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: him having had success at last year's British Opening, whether
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: or not that would carry over? And then Jordan Speith
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: actually won at this very course in this very tournament,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: but all the way back in twenty seventeen, So how
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: much does nine years difference make? Does that? Do you
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: read into anything of Speed's past success that might suggest
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: he could have success this weekend?
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll start with Scotty, and you know it hasn't
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: been a Scottie like year. He's finishing second instead of first,
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: he's really fallen off, you know. Yeah, yeah, rough, go boy,
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: write him off. He's awful. No, I mean it's it's
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: kind of weird though, you know it, you know, in
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: the same breath, I'm gonna say, I don't have a
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: lot of confidence betting him. It just doesn't feel like
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: he's the guy that we saw the last couple of
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: years that was so dominant, you know. And if you
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: look at his price, I mean, it's no longer three
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: to one to win these tournaments. He's he's approaching ten
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: to one. So that's something new. You know, he's won
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: at golf courses like this before, He's won everywhere. He's
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: Scotty Scheffler. He can do anything at any time. But
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: it just doesn't feel like his season that we've been
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: used to, at least the last couple of years, where
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: he set the bar so high. You know. Now he's
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: playing like a normal world number one, and not a
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: world number one that's being compared to Tiger Woods. So
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: you know, he's fallen off a little bit, but he's
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: still the guy, you know, And I think if you
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: found ten to one out there, that might be a
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: green light. Say geez, give me Scotty Scheffler at ten
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: to one. Okay, great as far as speece, you know,
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: it's been it has been a drop off for jordan'speed,
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: the former world number one from what he was in
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, in fact ascended to number one after that victory.
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: You look at some of the guys on that leaderboard.
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: Second place was Matt Kocher, sixth place was Brandon Grace.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: All those guys have won at Harbortown before, and I
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: mentioned the correlation with the RBC heritage at Harbortown, so
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: you know, I think that makes sense there. There's also
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: a great connection with Pebble Beach. Jordan Speith has won
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: at Pebble and so have former Birkdale champions Mark o'meira,
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: Johnny Miller and Tom Watson. So you know, again it's
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: that smaller greens positional coastal track that I think we
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: have here. Speith has really been I think better than
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of people realize. He just hasn't been able
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: to make any putts and he said that himself. He's like,
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: if I could just you know, kick the lid off
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: the top of the cup and get some putts to fall,
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: things could be very different. I'm just not so sure
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: what to expect out of him, Chuck. It feels like
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: it can be feast or famine with him. Jordan Speith
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: and I hope he has a top ten finish and
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: contends I would be surprised if Scotty didn't finish top
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: ten either, But neither one of them is getting my
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: money to win it all.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: What about a Fleetwood who knows the course so well?
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, we saw Fleetwood come in with all
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: of this spotlight and pressure in twenty seventeen and he
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: really couldn't live up to those expectations. Now a lot
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: of people feel he will this time around. He literally
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: grew up down the street from this golf course, and
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: you know, he knows it like the back of his hand,
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: and you know, he's obviously a hometown hero. But with
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: that does come a tremendous amount of spotlight and expectation
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: and pressure, and you know, I don't know if Tommy
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: Fleetwood is the right character to handle all of that.
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: You know, he's a tremendous player, he just doesn't always
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: get it to the winner circle. He has many times overseas,
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: he only has once in America. I love the guy
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: and I root for him, but that is a lot
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: to take on, you know, trying to not only win
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: a major championship, but to come through and do it
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: in front of your hometown in a country like England
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: that hasn't had an Open championship winner since I believe
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: nineteen ninety eight or something like that with Nick Faldo.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: So there's just a lot writing on the Englishman this week.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: Matt Fitzpatrick, excuse me, Matt Fitzpatrick included who's a very
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: popular pick this week? Fleetwood and Fitzpatrick I think maybe
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: possibly feeling the most pressure of the English guys. I
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: like Justin Rose and Tyrrollhatton. I think they're playing tremendous golf.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: You probably remember way back in Gosh, I guess it
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: was ninety eight Marcomera one at Birkdale and Justin Rose
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: was a seventeen year old amateur and finished fourth that
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: year when he really burst on the scene. Can he,
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: you know, repeat that feat at forty five years old?
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: I think he can. The guy's just playing some of
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: the best golf of his career, really, and so is Tyrollhattan.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: So those were the two English guys I went with
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: I stayed away from Fitzpatrick and Fleetwood, and I'm not
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: doubting that they won't do well, but I just feel
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: that they come in with maybe the most pressure on
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: their shoulders.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you're the experts, so I'm not going to correct you,
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: but I think i'd write them all off because when
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: England beats Argentina today, they're all going to be drunk
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: all weekend long.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: Well you know, I said that we could have England
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: win in America and we could have an American win
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: in England.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. That seems fair. Brady Cannon is
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: with us, of course, with golf dot Com. He's got
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: his article up bringing down who he's betting on. What
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: we're going to get to here in a second. So
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: also CBA, Sports sports Line, sports Grid. He is a
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: must fall afore you. If you love golf, especially if
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: you love betting on golf, you can follow m Matt
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas golfer there on X. All right, let's get
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: to your picks. It feels like we're talking about all
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: the guys you don't like in this tournament, So tell
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: me about the guys you do like.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I mentioned Justin Rose and Tyroll Hatton. I'm on
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: both of those guys just playing brilliant golf. Those are
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: some of the shorter shots in the thirty to thirty
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: five to one range. Colin Morikawa also right there with
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: those guys. He won at Pebble Beach earlier this season,
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: and I think he's finally one hundred percent healthy now, Chuck.
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: I really think that he's ready to go. Shane Lowry
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: won this championship in twenty nineteen. You know, you can
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: get him in the neighborhood of sixty to one these days,
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: and that just feels too high on a guy that
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: may be the best wind player in the world and
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: really is a links golf specialist. Russell Henley I mentioned,
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: played him at fifty to one. So accurate off the tea,
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: so good with the wedges. You know, I think this
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: guy is really close to winning a major championship. So
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: those were some of the shorter shots that I took,
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: and then some long shots. Seewu Kim. He's now been
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: bet down to about forty five to one or so.
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: I got him at eighty to one. That feels like
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: a nice value there. He's never done typically well in
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: this championship, but his game is probably never been better
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: than it has been this season, and he really translates
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: well with the type of style he plays. If he
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: can get the putter going this weekend like he did
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: last weekend in Scotland, he should be a factor. He's
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: got three top ten finishes in his last five starts
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: and then a couple of long bombs triple digit numbers
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: with Harris English at one hundred to one and Ben
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: Griffin at one hundred to one. I think if you're
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: going to take a long shot, those guys are a
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: pretty good shot to take that. I do believe have
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: a chance to contend this week and.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: Should you take a long shot, I mean maybe I'm
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: making this up. I certainly don't follow it as closely
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: as you were, Ashley follow golf, but it always feels
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: like the British Open, the Open Championship is just rife
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: for some big, out of nowhere long shot. It's usually
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: the tournament where the sixty year old like Geene Sarazen
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: might win this weekend, where the old man, Yeah, the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: old man is in the contention until.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: The very you know you're right about that again. I
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: think it was ninety eight. God, I can't remember the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: year or no, maybe it was twenty seventeen the last
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: time we were here. I can't remember for sure, but
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: Greg Norman at fifty three some years old or whatever
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: contended for a minute and actually was right there near
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: the lead. And that is and we saw Tom Watson
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: do it at Troon when Stuart Sink, you know, kind
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: of spoiled the party and everybody thought Watson was going
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: to win the Open for a six time. So yes,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: the old guys can compete here, and long shots are
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: absolutely live. If you look at what has happened in
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: the Open Championship last fifteen years or so, the average
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: price of the winner has been about fifty or sixty
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: to one, and there's been, you know, last year, Scottie
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: Scheffler at five to one, and there's been Darren Clark
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: at three hundred and fifty to one or something like that.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it is, like you say, rife with randomness
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: if you will. It's not like the Masters, which typically
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: goes to one of the favorites. It is much more volatile.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: And yeah, I think that's the way your betting card
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: needs to line up, and that's really the way mine has.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: I've got you know, some thirty to forty to one,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: some fifty to sixty to ones, and a few hundred
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: to ones and hopefully one of them hits Well.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: I got to go pajama shopping, I know that for
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: a friend, and I'll try to send you a replica
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Claret jug filled with the Guinness as well in your
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: care package.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: That sounds outstanding, All right, man, we'll enjoy it all.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: I'll be thinking about you on the couch tonight at
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: ten thirty for goodness sake.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. That Midsummer Classic
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: one more time for major championships this year, and then
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: you know what, chuck after this, it's kind of onto
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: football season.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, we're ten days from training camp coverage,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: so believe me, there's a lot.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: And how about that NFC West huh well, yeah.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: No doubt. Yeah, yeah, the Rams. The Rams think they've
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: got a shot this year. Isn't that funny, Adie?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: Nobody's talking about my forty nine ers. You know, you
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: guys are the defending Super Bowl champs. The Rams are
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: making all the headlines. I think the Niners are quietly
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: pretty live.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Oh you like to slip under the radar.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: There, do you.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: Well, well, yeah, it's remember remember when we used to
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: be at sports talk radio together and people talked about
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: this being the dead time of the year. There's no
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: dead time of the year anymore.
• 1:02:54

  Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds delightful. I would like some pajamas and guinness.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next, we will recap that boring
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: All Star game for you, the Baseball brunch. It's more
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: than just a Mariner's recap. I just decided that this
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: morning Sports Radio ninety three point three kja RFM. It's
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: one analyst in town bringing down one key Seahawk player
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: for a one entire interview. And then in July during
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: the All Star break, we have another special tradition and
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: that is our Huskies One Series, and that is every
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: day for a week, we bring on one of our
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: top analysts here in town break down one entire unit
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: of the Huskies for the upcoming season for one entire interview.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: And this is day number three. If you've missed the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: first two days, go back Mario Bailey breaking down wide
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: receivers and running backs. And then we had Scott Ecklin
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: talking about the front seven on Monday. Today today, Washington
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Huskies legend, former tight end, current voice color analyst of
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: your Washington Huskies, Cam Cleveland joins us to talk tight
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: ends and offensive lineman. It has been too long, sir.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: The most important group. Yeah, only I'm only half right now.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 7: I just I'm half a shell of myself at this point.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: It's summer and I'm trying to, like you said, Chuck,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to keep my brain locked into football because
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: all I think about is football. So I have to
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: play more golf and relax a little bit. But I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: am I'm telling you brother, I'm I'm jones in for
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: this season right now. There's there's some excitement.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: Really seriously, and let's also be serious about another thing.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: It's tight in not the coolest position in football, that's
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: the best.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 7: Well, it's the most underpaid, but it is pretty No,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 7: it is, no think about it. I mean, I've argued
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: this for years. We get to run against linebackers. I
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: get to knock the crap out of little safeties, and
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: I get to block defensive ends and I need to
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 7: pretend I'm an offensive lineman and also pretend I'm a
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 7: wide receiver. So yes, I do feel really good about
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 7: the tight end position.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Eh. Yeah, when I played it at one hundred and
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: fifty five pounds in high school.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: That was like me in fourth grade or someone, what
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: are we doing here?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: That's small town Illinois nineteen eighty eight.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: That's what boy is.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Cam Cleveland is with us. And yes, so we will
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: get into your excitement about this upcoming season. But let
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: me first because this first time we chatted with you,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: you've lost your play by play man, You've lost your
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: your partner in crime. How are you feeling about that?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 7: How good of a broadcast can you do? When you
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 7: buy yourself. Is that impossible to do? Nobody wants to hear.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Cam do play.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine Cam doing play by play? Be terrifying?
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: It just be a stuttering stammer of things to do.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 7: And no, I'm happy for Tony when the NFL calls.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: It's one of those opportunities that's amazing. And him and
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: his family get a chance to go down to Tampa
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 7: and be part of the Bucks, which is a mean
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: following a legend that's been there I think forty years.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: Also did the Florida State.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 7: So it's just it's a great opportunity for him, and
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 7: so we look forward to seeing what happens to the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 7: future of Husky Video and a new voice.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: I just sit back and relax. I'm meaningless.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: I'm just the guy on the outside, just the bald
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: guy that occasionally laughs and talks over the person.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: So you know me, I'll just keep trucking.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: I love the idea that you might have come on
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: here and said, I don't need a play by play guy.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: I can do it all. I'm announcing myself. I'm running mouth.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: No no, no, no, nobody do that ever anymore. This
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: isn't baseball.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: You know baseball, you can kill time, you can have
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: a full conversation. You can then scullly this thing for
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: three innings. And nobody knows that.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: Football you don't have that.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: You don't time, Yeah, you don't have it. All right, Well,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: we're really excited to find out who your partner is
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: going to be. Nobody's called me.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: I know that.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: So I think you're safe.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: I think, dang it, dang it, jam, I'm giving them
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: the insight.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it. All right, Well, let's dive in.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: We have a task here. Let's take a look at
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: the upcoming group of tight ends and offensive line. And
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: since the tight end is the coolest position, we'll start there.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: And I know how much you built up Decker to
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: Graf a year ago at this time, and he ended
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: up having a really good year thirty two catches, a
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: couple of touchdowns in his first year as a as
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: a starter, So he leads the depth chart right now.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: And I would imagine you're expecting more growth from Decker
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: to Graft this year.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: I think so.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: I think what Decker's biggest goal always was to get
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 7: bigger and stronger, because he physically as a freshman, you
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: have to see his super talented athletic as anybody else,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: to get up and get the football in space, especially
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 7: down the middle. His issue was always strength on the
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 7: outside in line blocking when you wanted to run, when
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 7: we wanted to have the edge and see how he
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 7: can handle.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: I mean when we talk.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 7: About stand up guys out there, we're talking to eighty
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 7: three hundred pounder. You look at Washington, you look at Oregon.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 7: Stand up outside linebackers are massive and if you're tight end,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: can't handle the outside. Occasionally even being able to block
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: safeties down the field.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 5: That was his goal.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 7: Now he's gotten a lot stronger, and certainly his size
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 7: and his speed is what gives him his advantage. His
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: ball catching skills, awareness and screens. Red zone is always
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: what I tell you, where a tight end makes his money.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: It's where you can dominate with.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: That size, and he needs to do it.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: The guy of this group, Chuck, that is going to
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 7: have a huge jump this year is Baron Naoni. He
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 7: is the one that comes from Yeah, he is the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 7: one when I talked about strength and size, and of
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: course he's a redhead, so I'm gonna give him a
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: little bit of extra you know.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: That's that's there.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: No, but Baron comes from west Land. He's an Morgan kid.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 7: Came from West Lynn High School down by me. Because
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 7: I'm in Vancouver, I got a chance to watch him
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 7: in high school and see how talented he was physically.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 5: He's grown physically he.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: Has He's established himself as a really physical edge guy too.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: But can go get the football. You're gonna need two
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: tight ends in this offense at all times. You might
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: You're gonna rotate even more with Deldiers when he comes
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: back to you know he has injury last year, and
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 7: and and how he produces to another kid that's a
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: local product that transferred back up to the Husky. So
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: those three guys now they're it could be more now
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 7: as we see in the rotation with Austin Simmons two
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 7: and and what happens. But those three probably will be
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 7: the most dominant ones that get the most run offensively.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: And how they rotate, you're gonna see three tight end set.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: You're gonna see a lot of twelve personnel. I mean,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 7: that's that's what coach Fish likes to do. And if
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 7: you can run the football in the Big ten, you
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: need tight ends to be able to block, and you
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 7: need them, desperately need them to have those eight to
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: ten yard window catches. If if Decker wants to have
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: a great year, he needs to average anywhere from eight
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 7: to ten yards to catch, because that's a chain mover
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 7: at tight end, and that's what you really want to.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 5: See him be doing.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: Fair in a six four two sixty three as a freshman.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: I mean that's like Eric Green. I mean, is he
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: gonna be like three hundred pounds tight end by the
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: time he's done at Washington?
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean that's to me, that's about average now
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 7: when you think about it. I mean I played at
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 7: two seventy two, seventy seventy.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 5: Five and rings and that's back then.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 7: Now, guys are I mean, if you're not able to
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 7: handle the size on the outside of your strength, you
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 7: need it, you really do, because plus it's just armor
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 7: around there. But on the edge, on the edge, it
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 7: takes a crap ton of strength man to be able
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 7: to hold those, especially in power and outside runs.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: You cannot give up. Like Quinton was so good at it.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 7: I mean he was so talented at being able to
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 7: physically hold the edge and not give back on those
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 7: outside runs.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: And you're gonna need those young men to be able
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: to handle it.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: Cam Cleveland is with us. It's our Huskies one series,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: cam our featured analyst here today, one analyst breaking down
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: one unit for the Huskies for one entire interview, and
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: we're taking a look at the tight end and offensive
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: line group. And when Jetfish took over, Cam, the offensive
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: line was a mess. I mean, it was a disaster
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: and he knew it. He knew it was going to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: be and it was gonna be a process of building
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: it up. And it has gotten a little bit better
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: every single year since that messy first season. But now
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: it's feels to me and correct me if I'm wrong,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: where for the first time, maybe since Jedfish took over,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: that there's like genuine excitement that this could be a really,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: really good group that the Huskies have up front? Am
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: I wrong about that?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: About that?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: No, you're not wrong.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 7: And these are the two most viable important positions groups
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 7: on any team in the Big Ten now and all
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 7: the college football starts the O line and the D line.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 7: I won't be breaking down the D line because that
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 7: goes without saying, but this offensive line, you live and
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: die with them. You will not be successful in any
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 7: football program in the country if you don't have guys
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 7: that can handle it up front. Now you're young on
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 7: the left side, certainly have a sophomore if Coach Green,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna say it.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: If I know he's penciled in, but who knows.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 7: Situation wise where the true freshman as talented as that
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 7: that will be. Unfortunately, I've just stated that's the weak side,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 7: because look, if you're protecting demand on that side, your
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 7: left tackle has to be critically talented. But you know,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 7: experience in size and strength. Young freshman on the edge,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 7: everybody in the country is going to attack him and
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 7: he'll get good really quick, or he'll be in trouble
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 7: really quick. You'll find it with Carver Gahn and a senior.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 7: You flip to the right side, and you're as experienced
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 7: as anybody in the country. Both Hatchet Brothers and having
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 7: Drew come back as a party. On the right side,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: you're so stable. I would tell you you're going to
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 7: see a predominant right side run game this year if
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 7: you lean on that side. Health is what I wonder
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 7: with the Hatchets. Health is always that situation. If both
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 7: brothers can say strong, it is a dominant right side.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 5: And then you have John Mills, who could I mean, is.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 7: Easily the most talented guy on that group physically, I mean,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 7: he's an All American candidate, no question. So interior wise,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 7: you're as big as Strong in that early group. And
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 7: as Champ also to tell Lele that rotation, you have
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 7: so many good guys that can move in and out
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: in that group, but we're only guys. We're only going
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 7: to be as good as this offensive line performs. I mean,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 7: knowing what the difference in the scoring and wins last year,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: averaging forty five points a game and averaging seven or
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: eight points a game and losses forty five and wins
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 7: eight and losses. That's upfront. That's Ohio state game. And
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: you look at our schedule. You see Oregon at the
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 7: end of the year, you have Indiana coming here, you
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 7: have Iowa.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 5: You're on the road early to.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 7: FC that's the big one. You have Minnesota coming in.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: These road games that you're going to have to produce
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: is about running the football, certainly, and it starts with
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 7: that group up front.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Now, Mills wasn't just good for a freshman last year,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: he was just good last year? How good? What are
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: we projecting for this guys? This like a first future
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: first rounder? Is this somebody that will move to the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: outside eventually. What does the expectation going forward for john Mills.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 5: It's a great question. I mean, how many guards go
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 5: in the and college draft in the NFL drafts, So
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: it's not a lot.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 7: It's very rare. It's usually tackles. Thing is he's interchangeable.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: He could easily go inside and out. And it also
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 7: depends how Cody starts to develop green on the outside
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 7: as a freshman.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: So Johnny can.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 7: Play both sides, certainly, can he play? Do I think
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 7: he's a better guard than tackle right now?
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 7: Yes, I'm not saying he can't do it and get outside.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 7: You know, tackles, their feet have to be really elite,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 7: their length, their arm length.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: But it doesn't say that he could.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Not do it.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: He absolutely could, no question about it.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 7: And but interior strength with Garyon and Drew and Landing
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 7: and all those guys in the front, you have to
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 7: be able to run an A and B gaps which
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 7: are left and right of the guards in the centers.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: You got to win inside there. And the size of
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 7: everybody that's the top in the Big Ten. You got
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 7: to be able to knock off Penn State, you got
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 7: to be able to knock off Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 7: Everybody's big. You've heard coach miss say it over and
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 7: over again. He had a completely rebuild size. That's how
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 7: small we were. And they goes, well, what does small mean? Well,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 7: when tier your guys are three to twenty on defensive line,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 7: you need to be able to move and you got
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 7: to play on their side of this line of scrimmage.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 7: If you can't, it's just gonna be losing.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 5: All day long.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: Cam Cleveland is with US our Husky Sell one series
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: talking about the tight ends and the offensive lineman for
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: the Washington Huskies heading into the twenty twenty sixth season.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: As part of our one series. When it comes to
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: having like a dual threat like Demand Williams at quarterback,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: I'm curious because we always just assume that your left
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: tackle protects your blind side. But is that just in
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: the case of having a pocket passer at quarterback somebody immobile?
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Do the rules change at all? Does somebody else on
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: the offensive line become more important when you have somebody
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: that is just as big a threat to take off
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: running as he is to throwing the football, or do
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: the same rule as apply. Left tackle is just the
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: most important thing in terms of pass protection on an
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: offensive line.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 5: You know what it depends on. It depends on the
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 5: style of your quarterback.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 7: If you okay, if you had a Mendoza back there,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 7: and you see a guy is still tall, still athletic,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 7: but he's certainly not a Demond Williams right after any
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 7: offensive lineman, they would rather and this isn't this is
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 7: the stating the obvious, So they would rather have a
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 7: guy that's a little bit more stable because they kind
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 7: of know where it's going to be. It's like, okay,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 7: he steps up in the pocket, he slides here, I
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 7: know where I need to be. Remember, you can't see
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 7: the quarterback obviously, for obvious reasons.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 5: Your back's to him.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 7: If he's a guy as quick and his athletic and
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 7: his moving as demand, yes, it makes it more impressive
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 7: to watch somebody that can little dodgeball, duck dive and
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 7: dodge back there. But it makes a difficult offensive line
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 7: because you don't know where he's going to set up.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 5: Sometimes.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 7: Now you do in his discipline because that's what coach
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 7: fish and the rest of the group offensive. They want
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 7: him to set up in spots so the linemen aren't guessing.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 7: But what makes demand so great is creativity, right, you
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 7: have to be creative. He can't see in the windows
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 7: that a six' three or a six to two guy can.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 7: See he has to slide a. Lot he has to
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 7: move into a throwing. Lane that makes it a lot
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 7: harder on the offensive, group on the offensive, line in pass.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: Protection if that makes sense to, you envision all of. That, so,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 7: yeah all of those things are are pretty. Important so
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 7: in this, group the left side, matters BUT i think
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 7: everybody's pretty important in this group at this, POINT i.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: Am is there a chance that this is the strength
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: the group up front of this roster this?
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 7: YEAR i think the strength of this, group no, question
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: is the offensive defensive. Line ok, HERE i mean the
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 7: defense is stacked with leadership coming, back and they are
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 7: stacked at, linebacker THE d, line stafe, corners the replacing.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 7: Corners that's the situation on the outside. Edge will we
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 7: see when teams. Attack but look who wins the national
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 7: championship the last three, Years And i'm gonna tell you
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 7: they won it at the point of. Attack they wanted running.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 7: Games they run it at. Physicality that's where you win. It,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 7: yes it looks really pretty to be out on the.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: Edge oregon knows. It, okay everybody sees. It you win
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 7: it with your often defensive line up front because you
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 7: can win those close, battles especially as you get down
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 7: in the red. Zone if you can't control the line of,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 7: scrimmage the spread offense is.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 5: Gone.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Guys you may think that.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 7: It's, okay we're out in, space we're. Huddling we're no.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 7: Huddling we're repping every five. Minutes even When oregon was,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 7: humming they were running for three hundred yards a, game.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 5: And top teams will run. It this is where football is.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: At looking this how The seahawks won it at the
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 7: line of scrimmage in THE. Nfl this is getting. Tighter
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 7: that's how this sport has. Evolved it's very. Cyclical but
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 7: football is back to point of. Attack it's no longer
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 7: open in space and let's just try to throw it
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 7: all over the.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 5: Yard that's.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 7: Winning because The Big tens won three straight national championships
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 7: with power, football and THE sec is panicking and so
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 7: is everybody.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 5: Else they're trying to play catch.

• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: for overall, accuracy ninety four percent rating for overall. Consistency
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: the best home played umpire in the sport was the
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: home played umpire last night at The All Star, game
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: and he knocked it. Out and when a player takes
• 1:28:46

  Speaker 2: why college football coaches don't want to. SHARE i get
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: why football coaches don't want to share information like injury,
