• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Am I am?
• 1:49

• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Looks like I'm getting younger with every day, doesn't it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I can read your face.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: He looked younger and more vibrant. Right is he Benjamin
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: buttoning right in front of my eyes?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I told you that I bought that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: one dumbbell and walking home from targeting, I've worked out
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: with that thing two nights in a row. Wow, so
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: probably look pretty.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, super buff?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah Yeah, that's what happens with a twenty minute workout
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with one twenty pound dumbbelt.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Good for you. Each side of your body got ten
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: minutes of a workout.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It can turn around like that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Just like see. So all of you who are putting
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: off getting back in shape, Chuck right here proof exactly
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: you can do it very quickly that in forty.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Eight hours you can go from looking like an old, haggard,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: tired man to looking like the next Zach Effron.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Basically my thoughts exactly, that's probably a bad example since
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: he's now a steroid out. Well, that's true, like normal
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Zach Effron. Yeah, before went to do that movie with
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: all the roids, I.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Was gonna do the Frankenstein guy, but I couldn't think
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of his name. Jacob l Ron or Jacob Lordy, Lordy.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: That guy is a dream boat.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, take two. Okay, in forty eight hours with dumbbell
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: one dumbbell, you can go from looking like an old, tired,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: haggard man. Yeah, and within forty eight hours you can
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: look like Jacob ALRDI. Wow, yeah, Jack, Yeah, You're welcome America.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And now I feel confident to be on YouTube.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Thank goodness, because our listeners have really not loved staring
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: at the KJR logo for.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Is that what's happened? I just didn't even they shut
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it down. No, was it impossible to take it out
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to the working on it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: But it's got to get somehow connected. Like I know
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: you have your laptop and it's got a camera on it,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: but it's got to get connected to something here and
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know what it is.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it wouldn't work yesterday, No, because your laptop. My
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: laptop was well, basically the world's largest paper weight. All right, well,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: great to have you with us. It's terrific to be
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it really is. I don't know how softies out a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: lot on remote with Dick, and I don't know if
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they like it that way, prefer it that way. I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: personally do not as fun as it is to be
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: out at training camp. I just for radio purposes. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: just this is. This is good for me. I've got
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I got a different kind of energy here today. So
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: great to have you with us, and uh, we've got
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of things planned for you today. We also
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: have a cash word, of course, fun is that cash word.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Enter it at ninety three three KJR dot com for
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: your shot at one thousand dollars in bonus bucks. It's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Bellevue Red Coins. That's fun at
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: ninety three three KJR dot com. We'll have another keyword
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for you at the top of next hour. We'll also
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: tell you what's on tap here in a little bit.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But we start with the Mariners and I don't know
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: if I was planning you know, twelve hours ago. I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: don't know if that was going to be my plan
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: for the first segment because we've got some other things
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: going on here that I think are worth mentioning here today.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But last night was it was a nice win, really
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: nice win. I think our old friend Bucky and his
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: glossary of terms even called it a big win last night.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: He did, which was may not have registered with other people,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but that registers with Ashley and I Yeah, I was like.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Wow, I see you, Wow, I see you.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Big Bay wins, big win guy throwing out big wins,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: drop big wins. Yeah, early August and already we're dealing
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in big win territories.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Can agree more though, because that would have been a
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: massive loss.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you're right, And to have won it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the way that you want it, you know, it did
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: feel a little extra special. And what I mean by
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that is there were some things that happened that we
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: just have not seen happen this year. We saw the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: defense bail out Brian wu early in the game, outfield
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: defense from two guys. Let's face, it have not been
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: good defensively this year. Dom Canzone is probably never going
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to be great defensively. He was great defensively last night.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Randy or Rose Arena was spectacular last night, hustling everywhere,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and he has all the ability to do it. I'm
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: not sure it's ever gonna be in dom to be
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a great defender. Certainly a better one, a good one,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: but Randy Rose Arena, it just all comes down to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: what mindset he's in that night. Because he has the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: athletic ability and the strength that he can climb walls,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: he can track down fly balls. I don't know why
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he's so inaccurate with his throwing arm, but he wasn't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: last night, and so that bailed Brian out of that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: one inning that normally blows up in his face, or
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: at least it has on the road, not at home,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and it bailed him out of that inning. And you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: could see the emotions. You could see how appreciative he
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was of it as he was coming off the field,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: actually in the moment. Then as he was coming off
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the field, he stood there and waited for those two
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: guys to come run by him. And then when he
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: got out of the inning and the seventh that just emotional,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: just release where he yelled into his gun and we
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: yelled into his glove and we've seen him do that before,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but maybe not to that degree. So you get the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: great outfield defense from two unlikely characters, you get the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: seven innings of shutout baseball from your starting pitcher, and then,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: after fourteen innings of shutout baseball offensively, when you're supposed
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to be new and improved, Julio Rodriguez just went up
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: there with savage intent and he swung at the first pitch.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He was looking for it away and he just crushed
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it to right field, and that went up. He went
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: up three to nothing at that point in the contest.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And yet here we sit this morning, and I'm going
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to entertain this this morning. I'm going to entertain this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: this morning, and we have people saying that it was
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the brawl that has sparked the team and is gonna
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: unleash hell and fury on the rest of Major League Baseball.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I hope you're true. I hope that's true. I hope
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you're right. I hope that whatever happened in the Gabespire
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Cal Raleigh DeJesus Torres brawl last night, that it sparks
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: off forty game winning streak. And because I'll take anything,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: whatever that might be hell, I'll take hey rally monkeys
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: have been given the credit for World Series appearances on heads,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: shoes on heads, rats on ice. Yeah, we've had all
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: sorts of things. My goodness, I'll believe anything if I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I saw it with my own ice. You're not gonna
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: believe this, But I saw it with my own eyes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: A team that historically has struggled to pack the house
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: on weekdays was four games under five hundred going into
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a game against the Detroit Tigers, coming off one of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: their most flaccid performances of the entire year, a year
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: filled with underachievement, and because of the power of a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: rookie card of a deformed raccoon, we sold out a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: state on a Wednesday night to give us the ambiance
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that maybe contributed to that victory last night. So if
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that can happen, then I can believe anything can happen.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So we those of you that think the season turned
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: around when Gabe Spire threw it Glaber Torres last night,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. I don't. I think there
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: were four or five things that happened baseball last night,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: including Colt Emerson's answer with the home run after the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: brawl that may have shown may have reminded this team
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: what they're capable of in a lot of different facets
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of the game. Maybe this game does give us that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: spark we've waited for all twenty twenty six. And if
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you want to believe that it was the brawl, let's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: go ahead and go with that. If it sparks this
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: team to finally play the way that they want, I'll
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: let you believe anything that you want. And so there
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you go. Cards on the table. Gabe Spier hit glabor,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: torres and thigh and he showed them you're not gonna
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: hit our catcher in the stomach unintentionally and that and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that's going to launch a thousand ships. So if that's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: what it is, I don't care. I don't care what
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the reason is for a turnaround. We need to turn
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: around right now. And if we want to give that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the credit, I'm here for it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I think there was a theme throughout the night, and
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: it was that they all had each other's backs because
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: just as you.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Described it, okay, it was like that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: It was a rose Arena, it was canzone. It was
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: the defense helping Wu, it was Wu helping his offense.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Who was struggling to get on the board, and then
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: it was Julio coming through, and then it was you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: with Cal getting hit the Inspire saying I've got you.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: And then it was Bizarta coming in whoopsie doodle, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: then it was Emerson saying don't worry, I've got you.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: It was a theme. They all had each other's backs
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: all night long.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I like that. I love that. Yeah, okay, I can
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: buy that. Yeah.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: And I think there's a lot of people that have
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: criticized this team for not caring or their body language
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: and things like that all season long. If you watch
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: that game last night, that team cares.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, And you're right. That was the embodiment
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of all of that. I mean, even Dan Wilson cared
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: so much about not spitting his gum into the umpire's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: face last night that he got ejected without even raising
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: his temper.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Was the calmest ejection I've ever seen. Mark was like,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: can you just throw a base?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody had everyone's back last night. Yeah, I'm not making
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: light of it. I think that's a good argument. It
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: felt like a night like that, And I don't know
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: if we have had many nights like that. So if
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Gabe Spire coming back and throwing at Labor Torres because
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you hit cal Raley, and that is representative of your description. Okay,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: if that's the symbol, if that's the play that symbolized
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: we have our backs. If it took one hundred and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: twenty five games or whatever to finally have a game
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: like that, and Gabe Spier hitting Torres in the thigh
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: was the symbol for we've got your back night. Okay.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like that narrative.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: I like that reasoning, and especially when you say when
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: you talk about that it was Jimothy Knight who doesn't
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: have a full spine. Yes, I see they he needed
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: them to have his back too, and boy has s Yes,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: there you go, sweet little guy, sweet little Jimothy.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, but I mean, I'll go with it, but
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I will just say this in terms of what happened
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: during the exchange. Now, do I have to change my
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: opinion on this if I'm gonna go with that, Maybe
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I do. I actually in the moment was furious, Yes,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: how on earth we need a win? And the idea
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of putting a runner on a base against the heart
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of the with the heart of the order coming up,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to settle some sort of fifteen
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: minute old personal score. Yeah, cow got hit in the stomach.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: That's a thing about baseball that they're all elephants. They
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: never forget, which means you can pick a time. In
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine to get back at the Detroit Tiger,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Bryce Harper and Hunter Strickland had one of the most
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: famous fights in the last fifteen years in Major League
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Baseball because Hunter Strickland didn't like the way Harper celebrated
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a home run three years prior. Wow, okay, so you're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: gonna have long memories in Major League Baseball and you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: can get your vengeance. I don't know if that was necessary. Yes,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: one got away, and we don't like to see Cal
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: hitting the stomach, and it looked brutal. That was a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: one to two count. I don't think that they were
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: intending to hit a one sixty hitter with a one
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: two count. I don't think anybody on the Tigers has
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a vendetta against Cal Rawley. They might against Josh Naylor
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: because if you remember earlier in the season, that was
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the game where the Tiger fans were believe Josh Naylor
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: tried to hurt three of their players. Yes, but then
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you would throw it Josh Naylor. You wouldn't throw it
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: cal Raley in that situation. And so so I didn't
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: see anything. I saw a pitch that got away and
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it hit our face of our franchise in the stomach.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that that warranted vengeance. But if you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to take vengeance to me, you take it at
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: another time. There is way too much at stake. We
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: need wins desperately, and the idea that with a three
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: run lead you're gonna put a guy on base to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: settle some fifteen minute score against someone who didn't even
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: do anything intentional. Man, I just thought that was careless
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and reckless and dumb. But if it ends up symbolizing
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: we got your back night, okay, maybe I can come
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: around on it. Maybe you've me into it. I just
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: in the moment, thought that was ridiculous by Gabe Spire
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to open up the door and let the Tigers back
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in a game where they have pretty much waved the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: white flag. And now you fired them up, and now
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you got we got to take our second best reliever
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: out of the game, and now we got to bring
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in a righty that has been struggling as of late
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to face their best hitter and he hits a two
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: run homer and now he got a one run game.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: To me in the moment, I thought it was ridiculous.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I thought it was dumb, but maybe Ashley shed some
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: new light.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: On it for me.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Well, And I do see your point too, because especially
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: had he hit him the first attempt, it's a warning, yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: And he's not getting kicked out right well, first of all.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And I want to clear that up too. You don't
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: have to warn anymore. This isn't two thousand and six.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: If you if the umpires think that you threw at
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: somebody intentionally, they will kick you out of the game.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: That's the way the game operates right now. And he
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: absolutely threw it the guy intentionally, because he did it twice,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and they let you do it. For those of you,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: we'll let him police it themselves. They did. They allowed
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: him to throw it once, but you don't get to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: miss and then throw it at him again, and that's
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: when the umpires got together and tossed him out of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the game. I think the umpires handled it perfectly well.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a dumb decision. But if there
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: is some positive galvanizing, that's the symbol. That's what we needed.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Moment that brings this team together when we've had a
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: thousand different things that I thought we're going to bring
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: them together and they never did. Then great, let's celebrate it.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And Gabe Spire plunking gliber Torres to get this team
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: going was worth all the pain and.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Suffering, and I think it it did feel different because
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I think in the past, in that situation, this team
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: might have crumbled where Gabe Spire hits cal and then
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Bizarto comes in gives up the home run, makes it
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: a one run game that could have been the downward spiral,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: and for it to come back and for Colt Emerson
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: to immediately hit the home run, it was like, oh no,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: they're fired up about this too. And I don't know
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: if they're mad that, you know, col got hit in
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: the stomach, or if they're mad that Gabe and Dan
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: got ejected or whatever they're fired up about. There was
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: something different in the air after that situation than I've
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: seen in the past, because it could have been very deflating.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: See, I thought they were already there, so I mean,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I thought.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I will agree.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I think they played with an edge last all night. Yes,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Randy Rose Arena played with an edge last night. He
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: might not tonight. That's Randy a Rose Arena. I don't know.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it turns into anything, I don't
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: know if it creates an avalanche of momentum. This team
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: seems to shun momentum. Yeah, but yeah, I think it
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: was already there before. Here's where I'll meet you. Here's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: where I'll meet you. Because I would think the Julio
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: homer was a bigger deal. I would think the Arose
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Arena y catch was a bigger deal. I would think
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: that Brian Wu going seven innings and yelling into glove
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was a bigger deal. I would think Colt Emerson's response
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to the brawl was a bigger deal. But if it
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: was part of the evening, yeah, like you put the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: theme of I Got your back night, and now the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: entire team now knows they've got each other's backs, and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it leads to them galvanized, focused and playing how they're
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: capable of. Then let's celebrate that thing. Yeah, celebrate the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: hell out of it. I hope that if it's Jimithy,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: it's Jimothy. I don't whatever it air? Yeah, what it
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: is this team has waited four months to start playing
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the way that they're capable of. If it started last night,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I don't care what credit we give for a spark.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go. It's time.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I will reiterate I do think it was
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: part of it. I just was saying, like in the
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: past we've seen in that situation, I think this team
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: could have crumbled because it could have been just let
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the air out of the building.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Oh no, here we go.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: This just went so and and because of last night,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: because of that theme, because of the you know, stacking one,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I got your back on top of the other. They
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: didn't crumble and they came out on top and it
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: was awesome.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I gotta say this just quickly, and that we're probably
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be We're probably gonna be late because of it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I got some support for that Texas
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: or tweet I sent last night, and I got some pushback,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and all of it was very fair, all of it
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: was above board. Nobody was nasty. But one guy responded with, yeah,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it totally just turned the season around. Yeah, Okay, first
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: of all, We don't have any evidence that this is
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: going to turn into anything. Secondly, there were a lot
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of other things that might have turned the season around,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: if it turned the season around. Thirdly, we got out
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: scored after that. Yeah, we got outscored two to one.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And you've already determined that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Unless he was being sarcastic like buzz maybe maybe I
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: don't think so.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I've seen him tweet before. All right, let's find out
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: what's on tap for the rest of the show. Have
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: your attention please.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: This is what's on TAP's brought to you by Emerald

• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Mariner's four Tigers to the team now three games under
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: five hundred. I know that doesn't sound very good, but
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you did gain a full game on first place Houston
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: last night, which lost, so two and a half games
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: back and plenty of time to make that ground up.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: You try to win the series against the Tigers today.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Bryce Miller will start for the Mariners at one ten
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, if you think that last
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: night's Shenanigans are over. Oh boy, think again, because Framber
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Valdez doesn't need any excuse to throw at other hitters.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Sure does not.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is the number one villain in the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: sport right now when it comes to not understanding sort
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: of the unspoken rules of the game. So he's probably
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: gonna hit the first three hitters in the kneecap to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: start the game.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Today and then he'll be ejected, which he'll be great.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be great.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So, yes, that's who we're facing today. Yeah, gotta
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: go against the lefty. But to Ashley's point, maybe he
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: won't be around very long. The Dodgers have not won
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: since they added Trek Schouble. By the way, they have
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: lost six straight games. They just got swept for a
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: second straight series, this time by the Chicago Cubs. This
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: has been a big topic all week long, or the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Dodgers ruining the sport. I've talked about it a couple
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of times at length. I won't do that again, Hugh
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Millen will. So he was gonna join us today at
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock, and honestly, for a very good reason. He's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: got some tremendous insight into this issue. That he and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I discussed off the air last week when he was
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: co hosting with me, and I think we need to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: bring it on to the air because he's got some
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: really interesting He's got a really interesting point of view
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: on this because he was there as an NFL player
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: when they adopted the salary cap in the National Football League,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: so he was there to hear all the arguments back
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and forth, and so we're gonna talk to him about that.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: At nine o'clock today, Snowhomish Little League wins over Canada
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: nine to one. Yeah, they got beat up by Florida,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: but they've done nothing but cruse ever since. So are
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Snowhomish Softball team still alive in the Little League World Series.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: They will play next tomorrow at noon. They do not
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: know their opponent just yet. The Hall of Fame game
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is tonight in the National Football League. That's right. Preseason
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: football starts tonight Arizona Cardinals against the Carollina Panthers, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: of course Hall of Fame Weekend is upcoming as well,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: where Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Keigley, and Drew Brees are the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: headliners and an always headlined class for the National Football
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: League Hall of Fame weekend induction ceremony in Canton. Seahawks
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: training camp of course continues. Greg Bell will join us
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: today at seven oh five. We'll have another camp battle
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: for you later this hour. Husky's training camp start arts
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: today as well, which is what I was going to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: lead with today until we had galvanized gate. So Elise
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Woodward is going to join us the voice of the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Huskies today at eight o'clock to wet your whistle for
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: a little college football. And the Liberty, by the way,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: won over the Storm last night by a final score
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: of ninety two eighty six. So those are your headlines
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: coming up next Mariners. Morning after we'll get into some
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of the gritty details here from some of the party
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and more. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. So
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: make a petch right here.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Brown Ball ticks off his glove of checks for two
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: hambertson up in the first picks. Brian Woo hang in
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: another zero seven to shut out it in tonight inside
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: t Mobile Park.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: This is his house.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: This season, in particular, he has been his storm.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: That's great?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Is he? That?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: The weirdest thing? How could that be? It's all it's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: all psychological. There is something about when he's on the road,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: he's expecting something bad. It's what do they call that,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: that condition where if you start hearing that the flus
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: in the air, then psychosomatic where you start feeling, you
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: start experienced. You convince yourself you're experiencing the symptoms because
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you heard about it. I think that's what it happens
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to Brian Wu on the road is he's expecting to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: have a bad inning at some point, and the moment
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: one thing goes the wrong way, then he sort of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: gives into it, starts getting sloppy. He's psychosomatic about it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how do we fix it?
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I've thrown this out before.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I saw Softy throw it out last night. It might
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: come down to, I mean, honestly, the games are getting
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: more important. It might come down to you're not going
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to pitch on the road anymore. I mean, I know
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: we have to get this fixed, but we can work
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: on that next year. Right now, the games are getting
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: too important and we got this. Kate Anderson guy, Yeah,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna have the same problems, so
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I hope not. The next time he's gonna have to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: pitch better on the road or I'm gonna lose confidence
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: in using him on the road when we really are
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: battling it out for a division title.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I get that interesting.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: But he was terrivic last night. His defense behind him
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: was terrific last night. Julio came up big with a
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: three run omer Colt Anderson responded. The kid responded after
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a brawl that resulted in the Tigers cutting the lead
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to one. Couple of ejections, it wasn't really a brawl,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: A bench clearing.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Discussion, yeah, bench clearing chat, yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And then Emerson responds with a home run. Mariners end
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: up winning. It did feel like it was a complete
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and total team effort last night, which is the type
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: of victory we've been waiting on for a while. And
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: they went at four to two thanks to Mariners TV.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: That was Jay and that was Aaron on the call.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know where Ryan is. I call him Ryan
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: because he hasn't allowed me to call him hyphen. We
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: haven't had that discussion yet, not yet. Ed Zoe and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I we had that discussion a long time.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I was there for it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But Ryan and I, no, we haven't had that
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: one yet. The Cubs swept the Dodgers yesterday. By the way,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: since they added Terrek School, they haven't won. They've lost
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: six straight games, and I hope they lose every game
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: for the rest of their existence. We're gonna have Hugh
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Millan on today to talk about whether or not a
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: salary cap is going to be good for baseball, because
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millan was there discussing whether or not a salary
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: cap was in the room. When a salary cap is
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: good for the NFL, I mean, what a source. Why
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: are we not why we have this conversation on the air.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna do that today at nine o'clock. I
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: can't wait for that. Snowhomish Little League won yesterday over Canada.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Since they got beat up by Florida, they have responded.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: They've won two straight, including nine to one over Canada yesterday,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: so they remain alive in the Little League World Series.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: They'll play Friday at noon. The Hall of Fame game
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: is tonight Arizona versus Carolina in Canton, Ohio, as we
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: get ready for Hall of Fame weekend as well. But
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: pre season football tonight at five o'clock, and of course
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Seahawks training camp continuing and joining us now to discuss
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: it is our own Greg Bell.

• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Wow? Yeah good, I've been up for a while.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is that right? Yeah? I found out that
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Greg gets up a lot earlier than seven o'clock. He's
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: just not knocking the crusties out of his eyes at
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock and joining us at seven oh five. He's
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: been up. He's an army guy. Army guy. You probably
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: were up at four o'clock this morning, weren't you?
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Not that before the roosters ran in three or four
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: miles to three hundred push ups? Some good?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's there. You go. All right, Well,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: let's get into it. Let's uh, let's talk about a
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: few things before we talk Seahawks. I would I would
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: ask you like this Aaron Donald's story, Like, you know,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: he's trying to ramp up. Is he playing? Is he
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: not playing? Does this fallow fall under the we do
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: not care umbrella of Mike McDonald or is this something
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that they're at least interested in in that facility.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, shameless plug, I'm gonna have four
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: hundred lology of TSN Canada. The NFO reporter for TSN
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Canada who's in southern California just came to Rams, went
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: to Rams camp yesterday and saw Darnold working out. I'm
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: gonna have him on it eleven o'clock today on our show.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: They notice the Seahawks. Notice, I mean it's not we
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: do not care. That sounds great and it's a great
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: sound bite, but absolutely they noticed Miles Garrett. I mentioned
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: that they noticed Jared Verse went to Cleveland in the
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Miles Garrett trade, and they absolutely would notice the best
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: defensive tackle to ever play rejoining along with Miles Garrett
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: on the defensive front. Sure, yes, and they would have
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: to game plan for him, and they would have to
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: figure out who the double team, and that would be
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: everybody's problem that plays the Rams. If Donald comes back,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Donald coming back. By the way I talked to far
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Hun just act totally. It sounds like he's coming back,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: but he's just smart enough not to do it on
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: August sixth. He's gonna wait till September the first or so.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: That's what it sounds like. He's not going to play
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: every down when he comes back, right, he's been out
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: of the league for what three years now. It'll take
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: a ramp up, but by the time the Ram play
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks on Christmas Night for the first time, he
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: will be playing probably every down. To answer your question, yes,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: they're noticing in Seahawks headquarters, and yeah, this is a
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: big deal. It's there's someone that the coaches in that
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: building that have to game plan how to block the Rams.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: That is a big deal.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Uh. You know what, the thing that stood out the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: most about that entire commentary was that and we know this,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I knew this, but that they will play a division
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: opponent who they have to face twice for the first
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: time on Christmas Day.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is crazy. And every time we've asked about
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: all the Rams and are you ticked off that everybody's
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: saying the Rams are the Super Bowl favorites aren't you annoyed?
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Everyone says, man, we got months and months, Yeah, fourteen
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: opponents before we worry about the rams. I mean, yes,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: the rams are a problem, but that's a problem so
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: far down the road after all the other issues we're
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: gonna have to get through.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: You have no idea he's even going to be healthy
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: at that point, what the story's going to be at
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: that point. So uh yeah, we had a lot of football.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks Insider segment brought
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to you by The Emerald Queen Casino, and he'll be
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: joining us throughout the football season and usually at seven
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: oh five. Yesterday we used him for an entire hour
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: from nine to ten, because we're selfish like that. Well,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: yesterday's training camp practice, Man, it seemed like the guy
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the creating buzz is arguably the best player on the team,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: arguably the best wide receiver in the world. Jackson Smith
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and Jigba I hear put on a show yesterday. Tell
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: me about it.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was part of my story up right now
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: at the Neewstribune dot com. Look, the best way I
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: guess I can describe how routinely brilliant he is yesterday,
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: they were in seven on seven and Josh Job was
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: in press coverage. Rat the lightest scrimmage jammed them at
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: the line and Smith and Jigbud just took off right
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: at him and was heading past him and darn through
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: a short hitch out to the back shoulder as if
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: he thought that Smith and Jigg was going to stop,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: and Smith and Jagba cap running and the pass just
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: skidded about five yards away from anybody. I went to nowhere.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: That's probably the only time in two years I've seen
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Donald and Smith and Jig but not connecting on the
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: same wavelength. That's how it startled me. I was like, WHOA,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever seen that. That's how
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: good they are. That's how good he is every day.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: He made a catch on the sideline yesterday that most
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: guys get made because he couldn't get away from the defender,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: who was Neemiah Pritchett, who was all over him. Then
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: he ran right past Pritchett, who has had a really
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: good camp as the new fifth defensive back when they
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: go nickel. He's really smooth in his route, running, his body,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: his leverage. We've seen how when balls are in the air,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: how he puts guys on the defenders on their back
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: like a basketball player rebounding a ball. Because he's not
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: super big, he can control his body better than most receivers,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: and it's on full display here in training camp. He
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: can always put himself in perfect position to catch the ball,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: and usually the gain yards after the catch. It it's
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: almost it's not quite out of nowhere. We've seen it
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: since he got here as a rookie, but now that
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: they've traded DK Metcalf and they have just centered the offense,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the passing game around him, the results speak for them.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Eighteen hundred yards, the eighth fest of NFL history, one
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty plus catches, and we talked yesterday how
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: he may not have those same numbers if they spread
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: the ball around the tight ends and running backs like
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: it looks like Brian Fleury intends to do. But he's
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: still elite and route running and body control it. For
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: those Sea York fans who been here a day or two,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: he's like Steve Largin in that way, and again that
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I don't throw that around lightly, but the body control
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: the size, the technique of how he gets open it's
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: very similar.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, I know I'm forcing this conversation because
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I find it fascinating. So I keep asking you, and
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I keep asking you, and I keep asking others about
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: how they're going to spread the ball around, and and
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I know in theory there that the idea would be
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to get more players involved, to make the offense look
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: more multi dimensional, so you can't key on one player.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is that connection last year,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that when it actually when the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: games actually start getting played and when push comes to shove,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Sam's not going to think about spreading the ball around.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: He's gonna throw to the open receiver, and he trusts JSN,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: And until I don't see him catch eight passes a game,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust that he probably is going to continue
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to do that.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Greg. Yeah, it's that's that's true, and that's entirely possible.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: And that's I would add estimate forty some percent at
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the time that they're throwing the ball that it doesn't
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: go to the design player, maybe whether the team blitzes
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: or they're in a different coverage than they expected, or
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: what you just said, Donald, human nature. Donald, when Miles
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Garrett is closing in on him Christmas night, Sam Donald
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: will in the back of in front and side of
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: his mind. Remember, oh, that number eleven has been pretty
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: good when I throw to him, and he's going to
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: do it. And you're right. No matter what Bryan Fleury
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: dials up, no matter what they've studied and rehearsed in
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: game planning for that, the quarterback decides when the actual
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: remember beats the road where the ball goes, and the
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: ball is going to go to Jackson Smith and Jigbo
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: when they have to have something for sure.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, they might have both Steve
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Largins in the National Football League. I mean, one's older
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and at the end of his career. But Cooper Cup
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: had one of the greatest individual seasons in the history
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: of the sport. And I've heard that he looks renewed.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I've heard that he looks younger than he has the
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: last couple of years, healthier than he's looked the last
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: couple of years. What's Cup? We talked about his leadership
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and his knowledge yesterday on in our hour together, But
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: what about the football player that we still have in
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cooper Cup doesn't stink. He's very good. He's thirty
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: three years old. Mike mcdonaldy said yesterday it's the best
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: he's ever seen him, including him in ten years. He
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: studied him when the Ravens, the Ravens teams had to
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: play the Rams. He he is always in prime physical condition.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: He really works hard at being in shape and conditioning
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: and all of that. And for a thirty three year
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: old dad, he looks like an Olympian. I mean, just physique,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: sculpted movement, no wasted movement. He's just really good. And
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: I know the numbers were down last year and then
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: the Rams gave up on him because of the injuries.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: He's not injured anymore, and that really brings him back
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: to like four or five years ago, to his height
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: of his or just after he won the nflp or
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl MVP and Offensive Player of the Year. He's
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: a coach. We mentioned that, and unless he's valuable to
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: the room and hard knocks. Audium saw that the other night.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: But he's still a really damn good football player now
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: that he's healthy again. Greg bellt it this way, if
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: he was like this, then Rams would have never let
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: him go. But of course that's the NFL works, you
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: get hurt, you get expensive, they let you go.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell, whether it's a Seahawks insider. Of course, you
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: can follow a Seahawks coverage at the Newstribune dot com
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: and at g Bel Seattle, which will lead to his
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: coverage as well, and joining us here at seven oh
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: five most every day during the football season. Let's talk
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: about the offensive line. You and I discussed this a
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: little bit yesterday and a little bit off the air.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: We just did a camp battle, right guard. Is it
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: safe to say that that there were I mean, barring
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: an injury, of course, that they believe that the starting
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: five is set. I mean it would take a real
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: upset for anybody to root a starter from a year
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: ago the Super Bowl offensive line out of his position.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, they're not putting anyone in to compete with anybody
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: at the starting five. They are really valuing the continuity.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: They talk about it all the time. John Benton in
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the second year running it back with the same five guys.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Brian Fleury mentioned how rare that is, especially for a
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl team, to have all five of your starters
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: coming back. Usually one of those guys get paid in
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: free agency and leave no and Fleury says it shows up.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: He's really startled about how how cohesive they are, how
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: they pick up things so quickly, how they make adjustments
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: on the fly, protection calls, how seamless everything is for
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: these offensive linement. They're not breaking that up. There's no
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Christian Haynes battling with Anthony Bradford. I was expecting Bo
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Stevens to at least potentially have some kind of impact
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: to see what he might have, what they might have
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: in Stevens be on the end of Bradford's contract after
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: this season, and Stevens is firmly entrenched as the third
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: strings right guard. He's not even Sniff's second team. And
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: we all know that Christian Haynes has failed three or
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: four times to win the job. Two different coaching stats
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: have tried, and two different line coaches have tried to
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: give him the job, and he's not one of them.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Anthony Bradford is the undisputed right guard. There is no competition.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: As you said, it would take an injury for that
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: to change. They're going to ride with him through the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: season and then it's their peers are going to offer
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: him a contract extension. Now, whether it's Rich enough for
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Enticing to stay or whether he'll try free agency for
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: the first time. And that's a very big enticement for
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: players in the NFL to get their first chance at
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: free agency. After the rookie deals up to Bradford and
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: his agent, it appears they really love the continuity in
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: the offense. They finally feel like there's some not only stability,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: but success on the offensive. How many times have we
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: been talking for the last ten years before last year
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: about the offensive line, right, Well, they feel like that
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: has salved and the the solver has been John Benton,
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: and John Benton wants the same guy for five guys starting.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: I'm really surprised that there was absolutely zero competition, and
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: it just reminds me that Benton loves these five guys
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: staying together.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Ye what else did you see yesterday that was interesting
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to you?
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Well, they gave it looked like it was a veteran
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: rest day for Devin Witherspoon. He did all the individual
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: drills and then they didn't scrimmage, So no egg monogamy
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: was the starting Nickel, the veteran eighth year O cornerback.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: I wrote a story that's up at the News Tribune
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Dot com right now about no egg monogamy. His parents
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: from Nigerian Olympians. His mother was a four one hundred
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: and one hundred meter sprinter for her home country in
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Nigeria in the ninety two Humpics in Barcelona, and his
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: father was a long jump triple jump in nineteen ninety
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: six for Nigeria in the Atlanta Games. His mother actually
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: won a bronze medal on that relay team. He ran
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: track Noah did at Auburn. His sister ran track at Auburn.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: His mother did a track at international elite level and
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: was a bronze medalist while going through nursing school. His
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: sister's going through nursing school. His father went through nursing school.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: It's a very interesting background. He was not on defense
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: until his second year at Auburn. Was a wide receiver
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: when he got to Auburn, and he only played two
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: He was so good at cornerback. He only played two
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: years and ended the NFL early in twenty twenty. He
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: was a first round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: and the thirtieth pick overall, but because he was so
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: brand new to corner he wasn't good enough at the
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: NFL level, and he barely played for the four year
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: four starts in three years for a number one draft
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: pick in Miami. But then Dan Quinn changed him, and, man,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: you want to talk about a guy. We talked a
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: lot to a lot of people around the Seahawks who
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: loved Dan Quinn. No Higmaanogamy loves dan Quinn because Quinn
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: rescued his career had him as when Quinn was a
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: defensive coordinator for the Cowboys. The one season in twenty
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: twenty three that Ignitogamy played for the Cowboys, Quinn moved
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Ignomy to nickel. He had never played nickel before inside
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: of the slock because he'd only been playing corner for
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: a couple of years and he didn't know the nuances.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: He didn't know how to play. He was telling me
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: how to play off coverage. He thought he could just
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: backpedal straight back. Here's shading and leveraging. You need the
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Quinn taught him all that. Quinn goes and gets the
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Washington Commander's job, head job in twenty twenty four, and
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: he brought Ignitogamy with him to be the free agent
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: that he made a starter ten starts at nickelback for
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: the Washington and it changed his career. He said he
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: now knows how to play football he was playing NFL football,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: and how to prepare in his film study and read
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: offenses and receivers. He's a diamond in the rough, veteran
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: corner eighth year. The Seahawks need on a very young
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: secondary and their cornerbacks in particular are really young. And
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: there's another oburn the I Nami Pritchett, who's been getting
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: run as the fifth back when they go to nickel
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: and with this spoon goes insides. But they need depth
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: there and it looks like no Ignan Agmay's going to
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: make the team. And he can also return kicks and
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: special teams as well. He used to be a track
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: guy too.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Well read more.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing I wouldn't say is Jake Bobo
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Julian Neil remain out. They've been practiced in a week.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: I'm told it's a hamstring injury for Bobo, it's a
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: leg injury for Neil. Neil's the third round pick, the
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: rooky third round pick. They've been out. Mike Morris has
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: been out injured. There's a good chunk of guys that
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: have been out injured, which is part of the reason
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: they went in shells yesterday and not full pads. Mike
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Doland said, today's an act practice, which is short t shirts,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: bucket hats, just for an hour. They're really late today.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll read more at the Newstribune dot com.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. We'll listen at ten o'clock today.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: All right. Thanks, Happy Thursday.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: All right, Greg bell I sealwks inside of joining us
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: thanks to the emeral Queen Casino right here on the
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: radio program nearly every day at seven oh five during
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the football campaign. Coming up next, more on the Mariners
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: their win last night the ABC's of the MS Come
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: your way on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: It's Chuck and Ashley with you. Good morning to you
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: here on this Thursday. Back in studio. Feels so good
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: to be back in studio. I mean, it's fun going
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: out to training camp. It's different, but really for four
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: hours I talked to grass.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's nice to make and listen to lawnmowers
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: and listen to lawnmowers for sure.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, but here we are in studio and perfect place
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: for the ABCS. Of the ems. We left off of
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: the letter Jay yesterday, and Jay has got to be
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: for Julio. I tell you, I'll make this stuff up.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah you didn't. You didn't rearrange the alphabet exactly.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Jays for Julio, who was savage last night. Keep using
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: that word over and over. But he went to the
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: plate last night with two to one. Dom Canzone walked
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: in front of him, and he went up there with
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: dangerous intent and he crushed a three run homer to
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: right field. He knew it, he celebrated it, He celebrated
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: it with his teammates as he rounded the bases as well.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's been another one of those years with
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Julio where he still has not had I mean, he's
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: had a terrific career, a terrific career, he really has,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and we are taking it for granted as a community,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: but we just think that there's another level that he
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: can reach, and then he has these long stretches of
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: being ineffective that if he didn't have those, what kind
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: of numbers would he be putting up for the season.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I float a theory towards you because I recently read
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: something and I don't know if it's without merit that
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: what is Kevin Sitzer done to Julio's swing? Because remember
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: all those times we complain about that he was trying
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: to hit a seven hundred foot home run. Yeah, I
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: think Kevin Sitzer tried to fix that. And what you
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: have seen this season, more so than past seasons, is
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Julio's this dedication toward staying up the middle, staying gap
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to gap, and it hasn't really worked out. He's hit
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of line drives right at the shortstop, playing
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: him up the middle or right to the center field,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. He's had a lot
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: of bad luck at the plate so far this season.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: But I think it's part of a plan from Sitzer
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: that if we can teach you this, and then once
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: you've got this, we are going to let you expand
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: out further. We're gonna let you swing for the fences
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: more frequently. It's gonna truly unlock you, but we got
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: to break you down to Edgar Martinez fundamentals first, and
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna let you fly. It's kind of like
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: training a race horse that really that has all the
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: speed in the world, but you got to teach it
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: how to race, and sometimes they will restrict that horse. No,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: you can't run. I know you want to run. I
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: know you're fighting me to run, but you can't run.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: And it takes a long time to break that horse
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: and to get the horse to figure it out. And
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: then if you watch Seabiscuit, then at one point you
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: just like all right, the trainer looks at you, he says,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: let her run. And I don't know, maybe it was
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: just an outlier, maybe, but that that approach last night,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't trying to hit the ball five thousand feet.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: It was I'm looking for something and I'm going to
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: hit the crud out of it. That's what he went
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: to the plate looking to do. And he succeeded, Yes,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: he did. So I hope it unlocks something. I hope
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: this theory of mine that I just half baked concocted
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: on the drive in today actually holds some water because
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: we know there's another level for him to reach, and
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: more so than any Taylor Ward edition or Brendan Donovan activation.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, we got to get Julio hitting like Julio
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: can hit, and we got to get Cal hitting close
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: to the way Cal can hit. If we're gonna pull
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: this thing off. I really believe that as at the
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: core of this, those two guys can no longer, not
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: for one more day, be bad at the plate. And
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Julio's ever been bad this year,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: but Cal has that's gonna be the key to all
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: of this. And I hope what we saw out of
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Julio has unlocked something because we're gonna need him.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and if those two could both gosh,
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: I just got really excited thinking about, like the idea
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: that if they could. When they both had their home
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: runs in the same game and it had been since
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: April that they've done it, I was so excited thinking, Okay,
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: here we go.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: And.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: I just I just want I want to will it
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: to happen. I want to like call the Etsy Witch
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: and be like, hey, do you got one more spelling
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: you for us?
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: It's funny when that game occurred, I wanted to see
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: and maybe it occurred, I don't know, just didn't show
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: up on camera. I wanted to see Cal come over
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: to Julio and say, you and me, buddy, like just
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: a little private conversation, you and me. Yeah, that's all
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: you and me I wanted to kind of see that,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: like we both homered on the same day. Let's do this,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe it occurred, maybe it didn't.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think of it too. I like to
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: see both of those guys get hot right now. Those
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: guys get hot. Those two guys get hot.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: We're winning the division by five games. Yeah, okay, K
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: is for the k DAN three thousand, Another little half
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: baked idea I have this morning. Maybe there are a
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: lot of good things about Dan Wilson that he brings
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: to the table on a daily basis for this team,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: But for the things he doesn't do well, we've got AI. Now,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: can we have the k DAN ten three thousand, or
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: can we just have like a tag team coaching staff?
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Like last night, for example, not the fieriest ejection I've
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. It looked like he was
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: more worried about losing his gum than actually making his point.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: And I would like to see Dan have his gum
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: taken away from him because the way he chomps his
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: gum makes me think that our manager is nervous for
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: nine innings, and I don't want our manager to appear nervous.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I want the commander of the ship to be the
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: most confident guy, and how the ship's constructed and our
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: sailing coordinates and everything else. Dan to me looks like
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: the most nervous guy in the building nearly every game,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the way he chomps that gum. But if you're gonna
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: go out to argue with an umpire, at least throw
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: the gum then so it's not in the way of
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: you telling the ump exactly how you feel. But maybe
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: this is what we need Ashley for everything that he
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: struggles at, you know, pitching, change time, AI three thousand,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: go out to the mountain. Yeah, make a decision.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, can he also give postgame pressco Yes?
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, And maybe it's not a robot. Maybe it's
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: just we have different coaches, Like a professional wrestler goes
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: out and argues with the umpire, or you know, Barack
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Obama's a great order, will you put politics aside? He
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: can conduct the postgame perfect.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: Everyone would be would leave thinking like I really got
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: a lot of answers, or did I.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: At least we would feel better and me, we'd feel better.
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: We'd feel like we got answers instead of a recap
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: of the game. I do think that Dan Wilson went
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: to the Pete Carroll School of chewing gum, though.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: But Pete will throw his gum when he needs to,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: and he'll just get a new piece.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: I think he left early, Like, I don't think he
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: finished the whole school. So he got to the part
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: where you're like, you chew your gum aggressively, but then
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: what are you supposed to do with it?
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you've got to make a point to the official,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: that's when Pete would cost the gum and I wanted
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: to get hit in the eye or something like that.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Dan's just I just take Dan, go away from him.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: I just don't like the look. Finally, Elle is for later, dude.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I talked about Mitch Garver yesterday. We really didn't get
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: to Rob Rethschneider yesterday. Look. I don't have a problem
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: still at this moment. As bad as ref Snyder was
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: for the Mariners here on August sixth, twenty twenty six,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: three games under five hundred, two and a half games
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: out of first place, despite having the most talented roster
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: in the division, I still don't have a problem with
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Jerry signing Rob Rethschneinder. I just am not gonna be
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: that way. I thought it was a good idea, not
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: a great idea. I thought it was a fine idea
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: in the moment. So I'm not gonna crush the front
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: office for taking a look at numbers and seeing that
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: this is somebody who has a niche skill that could
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: help this team win baseball games this year. But once again,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: just like with Pollock and Garver and Wong, they've been
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: a disaster. They have just been a disaster, and so
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: had it gone on any further, that's when my criticism
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: seeks into the conversation. I get it. Most people feel like, hey,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: you're the general manager, you should foresee that coming. Every
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: general manager makes good moves, bad moves. Sometimes they pay
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: off more than what the general manager thought that that
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: was going to pay off. And sometimes you make a
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: good move and it doesn't work out. That's how I
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Judge's that makes me different, I guess than a lot
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: of people out there, but that's how I judge. I
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: don't think it was a bad decision to sign Rob Refsnyder.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: I think it turned out to be really bad and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: had it gone any further with two activations, award acquisition
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: and Donovan coming off the aisle. Had we kept him
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: on the roster, then I would have started criticizing it.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: You got to cut your losses now, man, enough We've
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: given him enough time to prove whether or not he
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: can fulfill this role that you're paying him seven million
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: dollars to fulfill. He can't do it. And the fact
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: that he's beating himself up internally, just like Garver did
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: when he got here, shows you he's not coming out
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: of this. And so I know Rob Refsneider really wanted
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: to come through for all of you, and I know
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: that Jerry and Justin thought this was a really good
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: move and a lot of people agree with this at
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: the time. It didn't work out and it was time
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: to let him go. And it really is a mystery
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: why they can't find a veteran right handed hitter who
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: crushes lefties his entire career basically, and when they get
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: here are awful, not only just mediocre, just awful. But
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: it happened again this year with Rob.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I have no problem with them signing him because
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to read into
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: the future and know that that's going to happen. But
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: I do think they held on to him too later.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: I think they got rid of him earlier.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next something starting today, Something's happening
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: here and we're going to discuss it for the next
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: segment and a half on Sports Radio ninety three point

• 55:36
  Speaker 8: I already have it ordered, just the voice of the
• 55:38
  Speaker 8: Big w That's how I roll.
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: In case you didn't know, I'm going, you know, full
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: like purple. What was Jimmy Lake pulled up in a car?
• 55:50
  Speaker 7: Was like a purple Mustang. Maybe. Yeah, that's not my style.
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: Not my style.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: You've got to do it now, now that you put
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: it out there in the universe. I want you to
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: pull up in a big you know, with the hydraulics,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: a big giant purple truck and roll in on your
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: first day of work.
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: I drop it like it's Hotchuck. That's how I roll.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, in all serious this league. I mean, how
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: long have you thought about wanting to do this and
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: when did you start thinking that maybe it could happen
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: that you could be the voice of the Huskies.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:28
  Speaker 8: You know, it's kind of crazy because you know, I
• 56:30
  Speaker 8: do play by player for so many other sports and
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: so many other things. And I've done it for Tony
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: when he was on Attornity and I called football for
• 56:37
  Speaker 8: the pactwel.
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: Of Network for TV.
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: But I think because I've done sideline for so many years,
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: twenty three years, and.
• 56:44
  Speaker 7: I loved it.
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: I loved everything about it. It's just a totally new
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: role to go up in the booth.
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: So, I mean, it is a dream. There's no doubt.
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: I've thought about, oh man, what if, what if?
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: But you know, Tony, I had no indication that he
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: was going to leave.
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: Like it was like he gave me a call.
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: The next day he was gone, Like there wasn't a
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: lot of time to think about it and I and
• 57:05
  Speaker 8: it was. But when he did, I was like, Okay,
• 57:09
  Speaker 8: let's go this. You know, this could be my you know,
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: chance to get up in the booth and and uh,
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: you know have fun in a in a brand new
• 57:16
  Speaker 8: role with Cam. So yeah, it's it's crazy how quick things.
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: Change in your world.
• 57:24
  Speaker 8: And so here we go spind the wheel and uh
• 57:27
  Speaker 8: and get up to the booth.
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: That's that's the uh, that's this season. So I'm really
• 57:31
  Speaker 7: I'm really really excited about it. And it's it's it.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: Is a dream come true, like to even think of,
• 57:39
  Speaker 8: you know, being the voice of the Huskies. And you know,
• 57:42
  Speaker 8: I go way way back with Bob Rondo. When I
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: was in college at U DUB, I was interning in
• 57:48
  Speaker 8: I was a broadcast communications major, and they did the
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: coaches show it you Dub with my basketball coach Jundhorty
• 57:55
  Speaker 8: rest In Peace and Bumpenner. Those are the two coaches
• 57:57
  Speaker 8: at the time, and I had to take tape. My
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: job was two things, and I took it very seriously
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: because Bob was like a perfectionist, and I had to
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: take those beta tapes if anybody remembers what those are,
• 58:08
  Speaker 8: and drive them physically back to the station in Belvy
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: so we could put them on the air. But my
• 58:13
  Speaker 8: other thing was called reasks, and we only had one camera,
• 58:16
  Speaker 8: and so we would start with the two shot of.
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: Bob and the coach, and then we would take the.
• 58:21
  Speaker 8: Camera and we'd just put it on the coach and
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: all the questions would be asked with the coach on camera,
• 58:26
  Speaker 8: and then the coach would leave and I would be
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: the one that would have to remind Bob of what
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: his questions were for these things called reasks. And I
• 58:34
  Speaker 8: remember one time I kind of fumbled the one question.
• 58:36
  Speaker 8: I didn't get it, and Bob was like, that is
• 58:38
  Speaker 8: not how it went, that is not what I said.
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: And I was like, we are perfectionists and we will
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: be perfectionists from now on.
• 58:44
  Speaker 7: Bob, I got it.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: So we go way back, and I mean, what a
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: great mentor to have.
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: And you know, he was one of the first people
• 58:53
  Speaker 8: that I chatted with after I made this decision, and
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: before I made this decision to get its thoughts.
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: So and Tony great too.
• 59:00
  Speaker 8: Tony was such a great dude to work with, so
• 59:04
  Speaker 8: you know, hopefully I'll just you know, be able to
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: carry on at the same level as those two guys
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: work because they were great.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, congratulations on it. And yeah, I would think
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: that getting the thumbs up from Bob Rondo would lift
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: you a few feet off the ground. And then I
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: would assume just over the years, you've been taking notes
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: about what castor cone was screwing up so that you
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: don't make those same mistakes.
• 59:28
  Speaker 7: Right, absolutely, totally.
• 59:31
  Speaker 8: Yes, I was a very large notepad, but it's all
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: about soaping the rain.
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: So unfortunately I don't have those notes to bring with me.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: All right, well, well let's go ahead and just talk
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: about the team. With camp starting today of the season.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: Pretty much right around the corner, Ashley and I were
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: just having a conversation, like, I get that the goals
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: the college football playoff. That should not There should be
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: no other goal this season than to make the college
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: football Playoff. It doesn't happen just because you really want
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: it to, or it's time to make that next step.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: I think this team's got to show a lot of
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: improvement from last season in a lot of areas, especially
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: against the best competition and the big ten, in order
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: to make that big, giant leap. So it's one thing
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: to have at that goal, But is it in the cards.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like this team could get there this
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: year if they improve in X, Y and Z areas well?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: And I think that's spot on. I think all of
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 7: that is accurate.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 8: I think we saw how good they can be last
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 8: year in glimpses, and it does need to be more
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 8: consistent against the top twenty five teams.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 7: That's the bottom line.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 8: I think when you are building a team, what are
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: the most important areas? To me, it's your offensive and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 8: defensive line, and it's your quarterback, right those are the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 8: spots that you have to have dudes, And I think
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 8: they do have dudes. I think demand Williams if he
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 8: continues at his rate of improvement.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: He's twenty years old.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: People, he can even legally buy a beer, and he
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 8: is a third year quarterback with starting.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 7: An experience like that's crazy.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 8: What has been heaped upon his shoulders and the responsibility
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 8: and the pressure and all of that. And so I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 8: think anytime you see a quarterback, the more experience they get,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: the more comfortable they get, and there's no hiding the
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 8: fact that there was, you know, the incident in the
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 8: off season where he explored the options and came back,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 8: and I think there's a lot of outside people to
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 8: be like, how does that affect this team? And how
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 8: does that and everything that we've seen and everything we've
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 8: heard is from a leadership perspective. There's times in life
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 8: when you have to sit down and really assess who
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 8: you are, what you are, where you are. And I
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 8: think that happened for Demand, and I think for Demand
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 8: it's going to make him a better leader and a
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: better quarterback and to really have to like he's a
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 8: quieter guy by nature. He's a leader that has done
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 8: it more by actions than by words. But that's a
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 8: jump in hit game that will help the entire team
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 8: if he does take on that leadership role and really
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: grasp it and be comfortable doing it, which I think
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 8: he will be, and that will go a long way.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 8: I love their offensive line. They got some youngsters, but
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 8: they're badasses. So I think from two years ago where
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 8: that was their real weakness and their offensive line just
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: was young and it was inexperienced, and they had to
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: scramble to even get enough healthy bodies. Now you come
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 8: into this year and on paper, they've got some dudes
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 8: and they've got depths.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 7: So you know that's that combination.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: Now they got to find a way to, you know,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 8: have skill guys replaced Joanah Coleman.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: And Denzel Boston.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 8: And Denzel Boston's a tough one and he's having a
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 8: great camp already in the NFL. Everybody's singing his praise
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: is deservedly. So he's six' four and you go back
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: and watch them with the tape last year with the
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 8: fifty fifty, balls like he Was demand's security blanket and
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 8: when he needed a third down was third and, eleven he'd.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: Throw it up and you Know boston would go get.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: It he was.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: Incredible so that on, offense you know where that's they
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 8: have to replace. Those that's what all eyes are gonna
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 8: be on at training. Camp who's gonna emerge as a
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: starting running, back who's gonna emerge as you know the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 8: receiver out?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: WIDE i Love Desmond. Roebuck they moved him in the.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 8: Slot that guy is he's a, dude and he's he's a,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 8: baller and so he should be really good on the.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: Inside and then defensively their linebackers, there their linebackers are.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 8: Phenomenal they've got they've got like a less era of,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 8: linebackers LIKE i don't know. How And Ryan walters is
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 8: so smart as the. DECOORDINATOR i can't wait to see
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 8: how he gets creative to get all those guys.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: The ability to get on the field as much as.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 8: Possible so AND i think their defense With, walters they
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 8: said they're going to be more. Aggressive uh so it's
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 8: gonna be exciting to see how he tweaks. Things because
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 8: year two At, missouri year two At illinois when he
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 8: was a defensive, coordinator they made massive. Jumps so you,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: Know Jets jet fish year, Three Ryan walters year, two
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 8: what a.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: Combo let's. Go it's all like aligning for, you dub this.
• 1:04:00

• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: Like Derek Halls, purple and he could build it for
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: and then it could go up and.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Down he'll get A doug lower. It, yeah all you
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: got to do is. Ask at least now that you're
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: in this powerful position that you're, in all you got
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: to do is.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 8: To, exactly there's a truck dealership somewhere that's, like, yes
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 8: we want to be the ones to.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Do you, know our our fathers would have told us
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: about a day where freshmen weren't even allowed to. Play
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: we grew up with in an era where freshmen had
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: to prove. Themselves but more, recently, man you got freshmen
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: that are dropping out halfway through there high school senior
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: year to get ready for their freshmen season and can
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: hit the ground. Running they also have the nutrition and
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: the weight room wisdom that maybe we didn't have a
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: generation and a half two generations. Ago whatever the case may,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: be but it does feel to me long way of
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: asking at least Like jetfish is really counting on a
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: lot of. FRESHMEN i alway's got a good recruiting, Class,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Betty he's kind of counting on a lot of, freshmen
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of unproven. Players to be the guy at
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: a certain position here and. There so how important is
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: it that these freshmen and these first time starters are
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: as real as what we're?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 8: Hearing, JOY i think it's very. Important, certainly there's no,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 8: question especially in, football that you become a man physically
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 8: during your.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 7: Time AND i don't care you're just.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 8: Going to get, bigger, stronger, faster because that's the point
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 8: you are in your life at eighteen to twenty, three
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 8: that's you, know your body is takes on man. Muscle
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 8: and SO i think that as they can be really really,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 8: good and they can absolutely be good enough to perform
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 8: at the big ten. Level we've seen. It we Saw
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 8: John mills last year when he was. Healthy that guy
• 1:06:15

• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: nutrition plan. Was And i'm, like, okay that's you, know

  Speaker 8: A bit differently back out to put on. Weight BUT

  Speaker 1: with positive than negatives than this. One BUT i, mean
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: you're becoming the voice of The huskies at a time
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: where college football is probably at the zenith of its
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: most interesting state of affairs that it's ever been at
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: and there are a lot of fans out there that
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: think it's going to crash and burn and that college
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: sports is over as as we knew it and it's
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: gonna get ready to die a slow. Death and yet
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: on the other, side even though this conversation has been
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: going on for two or three, years the sport has
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: never been more, popular even with all that, Complaining AND
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: i don't think the quality of the product has ever
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: been better than what it's been the last couple of.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: Years so as you are now entering this new phase
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: in your, career you're stepping into a college football. World
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: how that is certainly different than what we grew up.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: With so how do you feel about? It how do
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: you feel about the current state of the.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 8: Game you, know it's crazy to check because with every
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 8: era things. Change we don't have leather helmets. Anymore guess
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 8: what we're playing on turf and. Grass we're not playing
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 8: on dirt like back in the. Day the First Apple
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 8: cup was in nineteen, HUNDRED.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 7: I think was a mud.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 8: BATH i, mean things change and, evolve and, yes there
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 8: are certain things in college sports right now that drive.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: Me, crazy but it's where we're. At there's no looking.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 8: Back guess, What i'd love to look back and go
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 8: back into my, thirties but they're.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: Over you got to go move.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 8: Forward Right so in college football right, now the good thing,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 8: IS i, agree the level of. Play it's like you
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: have to give your head a, shake like the.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: Depth the guys in the depth chart are better than
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 7: some guys from you, know thirty years ago that we're playing.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 8: It it's incredible the amount of talent that is out there,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 8: now AND i think that it is not as spread.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 8: Out that is one of the things that The power
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 8: four conferences right now are gobbling up all the. Talent
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 8: and it's been. Interesting it's been good in terms of
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 8: the skill and the ability and the talent that you're.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 8: Taking you, know the best player from you know One
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 8: DOUBLE a and they're transferring for their fifth or sixth
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 8: year at The power four. School it's great to. Watch
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 8: but you, know there is the loyalty thing like. That
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 8: i'm a very very loyal, person and so that part
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 8: is always, like oh, MAN i like it when guys
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 8: stay five years and it's just not the reality.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 7: Anymore and you, know if.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 8: You all of we all look through our own lens
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 8: of what we desire in our team that we root,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: for and everybody that's a die Hard husky wants those
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 8: kids to stay for five, years to love it as
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 8: much as we, did and to be Loyal.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 7: Huskies to the.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 8: End that's what we all. Want that's what everybody. Wants
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 8: whether you're A, koog you want them to stay five.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 8: Years you just want them to love it as much
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 8: as you did at your alma.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: Mater but you have to.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 8: Realize that this is a. Chance most of these kids
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 8: are not going to play in THE. Nfl they have
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 8: a chance to take care of their. Families they have
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 8: a chance to you, know put money in the bank
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 8: that they'll never be able to. Like it takes me
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 8: a lot of years and takes years upon years to
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 8: make the kind of money that they can make as
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 8: A d, one.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 7: Top notch football.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 8: Player so you can't begrudge them of that. Opportunity that's
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 8: what we all, wanted for these kids to be paid.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 8: Fairly it just comes with some negative consequences where loyalty.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 7: Is not as strong as it used to.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: Be that's.
• 1:11:57

  Speaker 9: Umpire have deemed that it was intentional of the part
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: Of Gabe. Spire they have thrown gave out of the,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: game no warning, given and Now dan gets the heat.

• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: credit not just for winning the game last, night but
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: obviously for starting some giant windstreak going for they already.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: Count it's turned the season. Around the decision By Gabe
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: spire to counter Cal raley having been hit by a
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: pitch by Plunking Labor torres after missing him. ONCE i
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: did not have the same reaction last. NIGHT i Thought
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: spier's reaction was actually. Ridiculous we needed a win in that.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: Moment why would you want to start a rally with
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: two outs against a team that has no life right.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Now now you're up three to. Oho we need a.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Win we don't need to settle some silly personal. SCORE i,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: mean baseball's got a long. Memory baseball players have a long.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: Memory there are scores that are settled years after the.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: Fact you could have done this at another time if
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: you didn't like col getting hit by a, pitch, which
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: by the, way was not. Intentional it's a one to two.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Pitch there was nothing intentional about. That But Gabe spier's
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: decisions were. Intentional and when he missed the first, time
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: which the umpires let go because they didn't try to
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: let the game police, itself he, Decided, HEY i didn't get,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Him i'm gonna try, again and he got thrown out
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: of the. Game, PERSONALLY i thought it was the right
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: decision by the. Umpires and, No, ryan you don't have
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: to give a warning in today's game. Anymore this isn't
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: two thousand and. Six if you believe that somebody has
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: been thrown out, intentionally you've can throw them out without any.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Warning and that's what happened last. Night, well bizarre to
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: comes in gives up the two run, homer and Now i'm.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Fuming Now i'm, like why on earth are we letting
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: this get in the way of a really important? Victory my,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: Goodness Cold, emerson it's a home run the very next
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: stending four to, two and now we got a lot more.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Believers oh my, gosh, man that was the message that we.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Needed we Needed gabe to Support cal and Then cold
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: Supported gabe And dan by hitting the home run four to.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Two we won the. Game we're gonna tear it up.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: Now that seemed to be the, reaction and it flew
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: in the face of my. Theory not everybody disagreed with,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: me by the way on social, media but everybody, was
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: for the most, part very respectful about disagreeing with me last,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: night AND i do appreciate That ashley opened my eyes
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit here this. Morning her suggestion was that
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: it was a, symbol And i'll let you take it from,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: here but a symbol of a night in which everybody
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: seemed to have everybody's. Back now THAT i might buy,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: into because that speaks to the defense that picked Up wu,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: earlier and Then wu who picked the team, up and
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Then julio who picked Up dom who got walked in that,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: situation And colt then picked Up dan THAT i might
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: buy if and, So, ashley maybe you're right about. This
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: maybe that is the galvanizing, moment the fact that the
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: team acted galvanized last.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: Night, yeah AND i would say yeah for the whole,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: game because you even look at the first, inning that
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: catch That, randy the foul ball That RANDY ctt kind
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: of laying, backwards you, know and he the way he
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 4: caught it into the stands and the smile on his,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: face and you could kind of just seemed like a
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: Different randy there all of a, sudden like he was
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: like he got to, showboat which he loves to, do
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: but he also hustled and made the, catch and you were,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: like all, right, Okay, RANDY i see. You that was
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: a great defensive. Play then you fast forward to that
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: fourth inning and you've Got randy with the great, play
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: And dom with the great, play And randy with the great,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: play And wu tipp in his half from the, mound
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: and you, Know wu's delivering just a gem of a
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: game again at. Home and Then julio's, like all, RIGHT
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: i got, this, guys thank You wu for all your.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: Effort let's go. Defense this has been. Great we need some.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: Runs AND i and you, know they dom they think
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: you're going to hit, it don't, Worry i'll hit it for.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: You and then and then from there it was wu
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: finishing off and then the you Know spire even Coming
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: and DID i love?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: It?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: No DID i think at first that he did it?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: Intentionally at first thought, no because it as Five iron
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: AND i were talking about it didn't make. Sense why
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: you don't have a big. Lead why would you do
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 4: it in that, moment, right you don't have a big.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: Lead and then when they showed it, again it's, like,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: okay well he missed the first time through the exact same,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: pitch tried to hit him in the exact same. Place
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: clearly he meant to do. It inspire didn't fight it
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: when they ejected him.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Either he was, like, Yep i'm, Out, Yeah.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: I'll, go AND i just you, know THEN i got
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: a little then obviously nervous When bizardo comes in and
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: he's trying to take over and clearly can't get that
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: third out on the first. Tribe then he comes through
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: and he gets the third out and even he's more
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: fired up. There it was fired, up WHICH i was,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: like you just gave up two. Runs but at least
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: you got out of, it So i'll give you. That
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: and then For colt to just come in and immediately
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: step up and do, THAT i was, like this team's
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: feeling something right. Now they absolutely all have each other's backs.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Tonight, Well i'll meet you halfway then on, that BECAUSE
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: i thought there were bigger moments other Than gabe had cows. Back,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Absolutely but if you want to describe to me as
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: such a game, THAT i don't know if we've watched
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: them play a game like this all season. Long we've
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: waited four months for this where it did feel, like,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: hey if you didn't make the, Pitch i'm going to
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: make the defensive. Play. Yep if you're not going to
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: get the, HIT i got, you you, Know. Okay if
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: that's the symbol of we've got each other's, back all.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: Right i'm.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: Game let's see what we can. Do AS i also
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: mentioned On twitter last, NIGHT i do hope that this is.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: It i'll take anything it. Gets this thing sparked seems
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: like a strange method for inspiration to, me but, yeah
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: let's have it lead to a forty game winning. Streak
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: i'm all about, it And i'm happy to say that
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: moment Where Gabe spire did something dumb but it inspired
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: the troops that you can't spell inspire without spire.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: True just a little different. Order.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah so if that's the, case then so be.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: It i'll let that. Stand last night was a galvanizing,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: game the theme Being i've got your pack and if
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: it leads to something, special. GREAT i, Mean i'll believe
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: in anything right. Now, HELL i watched a deformed raccoon
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: sell out a stadium last night on A wednesday night
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: for a team four games under five. Hundred so if
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: that can, happen anything can happen in the baseball. World so,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: yeah let's let that be the symbol going. FORWARD i
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: might argue years from now when we look back at
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: forty game winning streak at the end of twenty twenty,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: SIX i might argue in a bar somewhere that there
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: was something else magical about that. Night but if we
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: want to make that the, symbol, fine do it For.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Jimmify let's do it all. Right coming up, Next Hugh

  Speaker 1: a couple of conversations off the air about things beyond
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Just seahawks' training. Camp and so just a quick little
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: story THAT i want to tell you, about because this
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: week we've had a lot of conversations About Trek, scooble The,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: dodgers whether or not they're ruining, Baseball is it going
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: to lead to a? Lockout will the Players Association Players
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: association ever cave on a salary, cap which they claim
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: they never. Will, well once upon a time The National
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: Football league had to go through the same sort of,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: conversation And i'm sure that the players thought that they
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: weren't going to agree to, it but obviously they eventually.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: Did and, SO i, Mean Hugh millen provides you the
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: best insights anywhere you're going to find into The, seahawks
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: into football in. General BUT i realized in talking To
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: hugh off the, air he was. There he was a
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: player rep and his second year in The National Football
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: league and was then a player rep every year after
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: for the rest of his. Career into the bargaining that took,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: place the negotiation that took place between THE nfl and
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: THE nflpa to come up with the collective bargaining agreement
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: that put the salary cap in. Place so he was,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: there part of the conversation in the. Room AND i,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: thought with all of the conversations being taking place with
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: baseball and School ball and The dodgers and everything. Else
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: what a perfect time to bring him on and kind
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: of walk us through. History so joining us now is
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: YOUR qb. One he's A there are a lot of
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: layers to this. Guy, people It'sh millon joining us here
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: on the radio. Program DID i represent that the right? Way,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: well that's very. FLATTERING i certainly didn't deserve all of,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: that BUT i appreciate the kind, words and, YEAH i
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: represented The rams in nineteen eighty, seven during the strike,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: YEAR i was asked to testify In, washington D. C
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: about the state of readiness of the team coming out
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: of the the. Strike and then from there, On, yeah
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: there's you, know a player rep per, team and you're
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: in those meetings and and you, know we're hearing all
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: the rhetoric from the owners and and then of, course you,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: know as you should, do you listen to their concerns
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: and you try and come to a. Agreement there was
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: a nineteen eighty seven. Strike players missed three, games and
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: there were. Scabs it was kind of an ugly. Situation
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: but in the, room the players always knew my, sense
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: we knew that we had the anti trust laws on our,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: hands and you, know the draft is patently in violation
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: of anti. Trust and when you hear anti, trust it's
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: a confusing. Term it just means anti. Competition so the
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: Sermon Anti Trust, act the federal statutes that govern all,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: businesses we all benefit from them as consumers and in
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: the workplace and what have, you and so you know
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: things like. That at the, time there was the reserve
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: clause for THE nfl. Players the baseball players that achieved
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: free agency in nineteen seventy six was the first year
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: football players did not have. That Joe montana was probably
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: the best player in the league when his contract expired
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: with the forty nine, ers regardless of how many years he,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: had he was still the property of the forty nine,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: ers and and so we knew that that was against
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: the the the anti trust. Laws so so ultimately we
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: had to have a. Strike what's created an Impass and
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: and you, say, well how do you supersede the ani trust? Laws,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: well the labor, laws specifically The Wagner Labor act essentially says, This,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: uh the courts will look back and, say, hey you,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: guys you guys have a system that violates the anti trust.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: Laws but if the collective bargaining agreement if you guys
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: agree to and what's what's subject to collective bargaining? Wages,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: hours in terms of. Employment, well that covers just about, Everything,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: chuck that that. Covers is there going to be grass
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: field or or you, know turf field is you, know
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: are we gonna get are we gonna limit two a
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: day's because we don't want to have two a day.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Practice that's you, know there are terms of conditions and
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: hours and of course wages and. Compensations, so, uh the
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: courts will look and, say if you guys collectively bargain,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: players you can you can bargain away your rights under
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: anti trust. Laws and so then the players look and, say,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: well we want these certain benefits and and then we
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: will agree to a system that violates the anti trust.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: Laws so there's some other details that THE Nfl Players
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: Associates association had to, decertify which so the courts would
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: stop looking at the labor laws superseding the anti trust,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: laws and then they would they would, say, hey, hey
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: now we're just going to look at the the system
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: and under anti trust, laws, guys you guys can't have
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: a draft right BECAUSE i mean imagine in an other.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Industry oh you just, like stop my heart right. There,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: yeah atract the greatest holiday In.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 10: America you know What Jeffrey Tessler advising, Says you know,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 10: what we just. Can't we can't Break chuck's. Heart you,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 10: know we have to we have to keep acceeding to.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 10: This this draft. Nonsense but, NO i don't think it's
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 10: nonsense at. ALL i think it's a fair way to.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 10: Distribute and you know the play the owners that they
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 10: their concern, was, look the value of the product is
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 10: the entertainment value of two competitively matched. Teams IF i
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 10: heard that, ONCE i heard it a thousand, times and
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 10: it bears relevance to to what we're about to discuss with.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 10: Baseball and and you know their cry was that all
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 10: the players want to Be raiders or, cowboys and The
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 10: packers will never sign. ANYBODY i remember that one usually
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 10: particularly being. Used, well, actually after we grounded, it grinded
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 10: it out and we had a free agency in ninety
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 10: three and then the salary cap in ninety. Four the
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 10: irony was that the very first marquee signing was to
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 10: The Green Bay packers in the person Of Reggie. White
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 10: so we all kind of got a chuckle about all
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 10: the hand ringing that had been you, know advanced by
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 10: the owners into which the the. Players we were, saying,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 10: look there's still gonna be other, forces like money that's
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 10: going to distribute the, talent and so at an, event
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 10: we can look in hindsight now at a lot of
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 10: the of the hand ringing and kind of a chuckle on,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 10: it you. Know and but as an, enterprise you, know
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 10: at that time ninety, three THE nfl had one point
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 10: eight seven billion dollars in. Revenue that's only ten million
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 10: more Than Major League, baseball who had one point eight.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 10: Six now fast, forward under the structure that we've had
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 10: with a salary, cap with a minimum salary that now
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 10: you've GOT nfl at twenty four point one, Billion baseball
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 10: at twelve point four. Billion football has literally Lapped baseball,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 10: doubled and you, know and and then the pop, popularity and,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 10: Look i'm not gonna commit the fallacy of just, saying,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 10: well you, Know i'm going to observe a phenomenon and
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 10: Then i'm going to establish a. Cause there's multiple. Causes
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 10: we can't isolate the, variables but we can make. Inferences,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 10: Right i'm aware obviously gambling and fantasy, football and there's other,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 10: factors but the facts. Are we, here we, sit and
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 10: we see the degree to which baseball their. Interest you,
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 10: know in nineteen the early nineteen, nineties the share of
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 10: All americans who watched The World series was twelve. Percent
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 10: now it's three point eight percent in this, decade whereas
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 10: football has been over thirty three percent back then in
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 10: thirty five percent, Now so you're, talking you, know.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: Like nine times as.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 10: Many and there's some weird series years where they're under ten.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 10: Million SO i think that all of the. Mistakes by the,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 10: way The Blue Ribbon panel in the late nineteen nineties
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 10: for baseball suggested that baseball go to the model of
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 10: football and have a salary cap and have a. Floor
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 10: but you, know right, now they're resistant for REASONS i,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 10: understand BUT i think are.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: Foolish, yeah AND i love. IT i love this. STUFF
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: i find this. Fascinating i'm trusting that our audience does as,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: well BECAUSE i, mean this is how sports history has,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: made for goodness. Sake and we've Got Hugh millan who
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: was right there basically signing The declaration Of. Independence he's
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: like a forefather of the salary cap and we've got
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: him right, here we got Like John hancock with us
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: right now here on the radio program explaining all of
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: this all. Right So i'm sure there was hand ringing and,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: nervousness and there might have even been an element with
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: Young Hugh, millan you, know and other young. Players we
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: forget how young you guys, were and you were making
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: these decisions on behalf of future football. Players i'm sure
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: there was a nervousness like are we selling our? Soul
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: are we giving up too? Much is this the right
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: move to? Make but now that we have, hindsight now
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: that we have all that success in history that has
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: stemmed from that. Decision if you were in a room
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: With Bryce, harper who might be the most outspoken baseball
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: player against a salary, cap AND i think he wears
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: that like a badge of, honor like he's supposed. To
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: he's got to stick up for all those that came before.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: Him they never cave to. This he's never gonna as
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: long as he's alive and can draw a, breath he's
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: never gonna cave to this. Himself what would you say to?
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: Him what would you Advise Bryce harper to maybe talk
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: sense into? Him into why a salary cap might actually
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: make sense even though it goes against. Logic we're gonna
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: we're gonna cap the money, spent and yet it's going
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: to make sense.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 10: For your league because you're going to have a floor
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 10: if they follow THE nfl mod THE nfl right, now
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 10: they have a. Rule now there's a formula over a
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 10: three or four year, period generally a three year period
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 10: that every team has to spend ninety percent of the,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 10: cap and THE nfl as an entire, entity has to
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 10: spend ninety five. Percent, again over a. Period it's not
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 10: year to, year and there has never been a team
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 10: that has had to. Pay and this collective bargaining agreement
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 10: says if you fall below, that you have to write
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 10: a check in the off season to all the players
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 10: who are on the. Team, now The raiders and The
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 10: jaguars have been close in recent years and they spent
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 10: at a level to avoid that. Penalty so WHAT i
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 10: would be talking to baseball players is just focus on
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 10: this before we talk about how it's. Distributed AND i
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 10: got plenty of comment it's About Bryce. Harp let's just
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 10: talk about the. Pie so there's two things we focus,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 10: on how how big is the pie and revenue? Pie
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 10: and what what percent share do the players? Get and
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 10: And i'm going to talk in some ways that's gonna sound.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 10: Socialist i'm a, capitalist LIKE i think any sensible person would.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 10: Be but think, about just pause for a, second the
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 10: paradox of professional. Sports nordstrom uh is as a department.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 10: Store there used to be a department, Store, Chuck we
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 10: may have heard of. It, certainly longtime satellites Of frederick And,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 10: nelson similar store To northstroam was better at. Business they
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 10: Knocked frederick And nelson out of, business and so, hey
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 10: good For.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: Nordstrom if The.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 10: Dodgers knocked The rockies, out who are The dodgers going to?
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 10: Play and, moreover if The dodgers play The rockies and
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 10: all the fans believe the score is going to be
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 10: eight to one every time they, play what's gonna be
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 10: the interest. LEVEL i just have outlined some of the
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 10: declining interest in baseball and how football has. Surpressed so
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 10: what did we? Say THE nfl owner, said our products
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 10: of the entertainment value to competitively matched. Teams so professional
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 10: sports are in a competition with movie theaters and rock
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 10: concerts And netflix as a service technically worth, service providing,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 10: entertainment and we're. Competing and so when you look at
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 10: a sports, league they are capitalists as they compete against
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 10: other forms of, entertainment but they have to be. Socialists
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 10: and nobody did it better than the giants the mayors
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 10: throughout the, decades going back to nineteen twenty, five they always, said,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 10: no we need to share the. Revenue so the way
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 10: that these owners can be savage capitalists is externally is
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 10: to internally behave like.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: Socialists so get back to go back to.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 10: Before right around the time when we were doing, this
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 10: THE nfl had about forty percent of the revenue is
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 10: going to the. Players baseball was up at fifty seven.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 10: Percent baseball is just at the. Whim in twenty, fifteen
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 10: at the baseball fell to thirty eight point six percent
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 10: of the. Revenue meanwhile football is locked at forty eight
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 10: point eight. Percent so as AN nfl player is, saying,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 10: hey we're at forty eight point eight, Percent, now how
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 10: who gets the? Money how Much mahomes gets that's we'll
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 10: set that. Aside we are going to get forty eight
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 10: point eight. Percent so what do we want to? Do
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 10: we want to grow that damn, pie because the more
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 10: the pie, grows the more our forty eight point eight percent.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: Grows so so.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 10: AND i just outlined that twenty four billion in, revenue
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 10: which which doubles baseball in the most recent. Years SO
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 10: i would say to the To Bryce, harper you are
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 10: advocating for a system that everybody knows from a correlation
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 10: standpoint in this, decade the.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Champion the.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 10: Champion Actually i'll get to that in a. Second that
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 10: if you run a correlation to money and winning football
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 10: has a fifty. Correlation think of a baseball player who
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 10: hits fifty five to, Zero baseball has a five to fifty.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 10: Correlation the number of franchises who were if you go
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 10: back to two thousand and excuse, me nineteen ninety, eight
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 10: that was the first year of thirty teams in each
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 10: twenty of twenty Eight World series champions are in the
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 10: top ten in. Baseball only ten out of twenty eight
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 10: are in. Football you would expect if it was just
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 10: and you would expect one. Third so you're getting more
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 10: than double the rate where correlation to money is a.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 10: Factor and The, dodgers in their luxury tax pay one
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 10: hundred and sixty nine. Million The dodgers pay more in
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 10: luxury tax than half the owners are are are paying
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 10: in their entire, payroll including The Seattle. Mariners so you
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 10: have this incredible discrepancy that they the difference between The
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 10: dodgers at the top three hundred and fifty million twenty
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 10: four versus The marlins sixty seven. Eight this this is
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 10: for twenty twenty. Five it's the last year we can
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 10: compare football to. Baseball so that, gap that's a four
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 10: hundred and sixteen percent gap between the highest and the
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 10: lowest in, football it's only a twelve percent gap so.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: In real.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 10: Dollars so now what you have is a system where
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 10: there are the fan bases that just feel, Helpless, yeah
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 10: because of the of the the fact that they have.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 10: Owners now there's a couple of ISOLATED, uh small market
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 10: teams that are managing their team. Well but the correlation
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 10: again to THE, uh the the top ten spenders and
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 10: playoff teams and Winning World series what have you is
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 10: is more than. Double SO i would, LOOK i would
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 10: Challenge Bryce. HARPER i would, say hang, on you were
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 10: the revenue has gone up two hundred and forty seven
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 10: percent and the salaries have only gone up one hundred
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 10: forty nine.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: Percent.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 10: Uh in that rate your, declinent you are the the.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 10: Player the baseball players are at forty six percent of
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 10: a pie that is not. Growing the football players are
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 10: at forty eight point eight percent of a pie that
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 10: is doubling. Them whereas right before free AGENCY i told
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 10: you there's only ten one point eight seven to one
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 10: point eighty. Six there's only ten million dollars separating the
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 10: revenue of the. Two they were they were neck and.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 10: Neck and look at the degree to which football has.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 10: Stretched it's its, popularity its revenue in every. Way and
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 10: WHEN i say, double that's that's being conservative because there's
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 10: many of these metrics where where it's it's it's many times.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: That, Right Hugh mellan is with us OUR qb One,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: Yes i've been fascinated by this topic here as of.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: Late you, know the future of baseball seems to be
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: a bit murky with the Collective Bargaining agreement coming. Up
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: for a long TIME i was Against Major League baseball
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: adopting a salary, cap and in the last few Years
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: i've done a bit of a one eighty on, it
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: and NOW i think it absolutely has to. Happen and
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: So hugh is with us, Now i'm do you mind
