  Speaker 1: Something completely? If this is Chuck in the morning, you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: people are beyond Let's go. Let's get the game off. Hey,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: great morning to you. Welcome into this Thursday edition. Oh
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the radio program. It is Chuck Poul Ashley Ryan with you.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And then there was light. Finally she decided at six
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: oh one, you know, I might want to seem my surroundings.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I just wanted it to be dramatic.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It was very dramatic. You made it dramatic, that's for sure.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was dramatic. And then when you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: added the angelic chorus, instant drama. Just had a conversation
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: about whites with the Jody and Bender, that famous radio duo.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Heard of them, How did that conversation go?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Very talented people, very successful people. I don't know if
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they're very likable.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: No, everyone hates them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But anyway, they were talking about you and I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: just had this conversation about how five Iron always wants
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a dark in the house and it drives you crazy,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: same thing with me in my house, and it drives
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Unicorn crazy. Uh. And so I think I was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: under the impression that it is truly like a gender thing. Yeah,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: men tend to want because Unicorn always says, why do
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: all men that I've ever been with want it to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: be dark all the time? Uh? And first of all,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I thought I was the first person that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you were with.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, there was no one before me, no.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And and I don't know. I just I don't know
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: why we do that. You're gonna have to ask God
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that someday. Yeah, I don't know why we do it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But do you know that those two crazy characters part
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of the iHeart family. They're just the opposite that Jody
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is the one that likes it dark and Bender needs
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the light as soon as he comes in. We were
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: having a perfectly good conversation her and I in the dark,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and Bender came in and pretty much just put a floodlight.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: On him, ruined it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I will say in here, I like a dark bit
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: at home. I like I did now because I felt
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: like it's rude for me to sit in the dark,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and then you have to look at me in the dark. Okay, yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Otherwise I'd sit in the dark the whole time, really yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: in here, yeah, or at least more.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Why does it change when you're not at home?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I think because I just have so many bright screens
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: around me. I'm like, it's fine, I can have the
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: darkness darkness.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I don't even know why I like it dark at home,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: but I do, Like, like I said yesterday, like four
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and a half weeks now that Unicorn's been caretaking a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: house for her sister, And believe me, I've just enjoyed,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Like as soon as I'm done making my meal and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: cleaning up the dishes, it's like, click click click, every
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: light goes off except for the television and my laptop.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Interest see.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And like when five Iron wakes up because on
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: weekends he'll wake up earlier than I will, and he
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: watches TV in the dark in the living room.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And I think it is there's got to be.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Something with the gender thing, though, because even growing up,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I remember my dad was always.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Turn off lights. Why is this light on?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Why and five iron does the same thing to Palmer
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the Great, I wonder, why is this light on?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Why did you leave these lights on? We can't leave
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: these lights on.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: We're onto something here. Yeah, because I'm pretty sure that
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: always had to do like my dad did the same thing, okay,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and it was because he was being cheap. It was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: about the electricity bill. I don't think about the electricity bill.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I knew when you know the laundry runs for three
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: straight days, right, or we've had the air conditioner on
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: for a month, right, I think about the electricity bill,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: but I don't really think about it when it comes
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to light. But my dad certainly did. And his dad
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was far more okay, thrifty or cheap or whatever you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: want to call him financial conscious than what even though
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: he had a lot more money than any of us,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he was the one. So my dad was so imagine
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: what my great grandfather was like. Turn out that candle,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Blow that candle.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Out, blow that oil lamp, turn that off, boil lamp off.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you think you think we're made of candles? You
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: think I got a candle tree in the backyard. What
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the hell is wrong with you?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You could just make more candles. Yeah, actually, yes, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: can make more candles.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What do you think I'm built of wax? What's wrong
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: with you?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Boy?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Hell swap the hogs and blow out that candle. Yeah.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So maybe maybe it was just since caveman days like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: fire to big, Yes, don't have much that much wood? Yes, yeah,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: maybe there was just smaller Yeah, make smaller, make smaller fire.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe it just got ingrained in men over time, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: now we don't even realize it because we're pampered modern
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: day you know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Lightward guys.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh. And so maybe it's has nothing to do
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with light being in the dark. Maybe it's ingrained in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: our DNA from generations of cheap men saying that's that's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: too expensive. We can live in the dark.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that might be right, even though, like.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I've read things about it that leaving the light on
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: barely increases your in your electricity bill.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: There's so many other things that go into the light.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Is the smallest part of it, but it is the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: thing that that five iron is the most anal about.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I like it dark too, but it really has nothing
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to do with the electricity bill that has every But
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: maybe because it did with my father and it did
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: with my father's father. And I have no idea what
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it was like with my father's father's father, because I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: don't even think electricity was around it. That it just
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: got passed on. Maybe that's the answer right there. Maybe
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: bender's just been Maybe he's just been affluent. Maybe all
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: his family.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Comes from kings and queens, right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly, And you know how kings and queens waste electricity.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: All the time.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: And it is interesting though, because he likes being in
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the dark. But that doesn't have anything to do with
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the electricity bill. But if you leave a light on,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: it drives him insane.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's passed down. Yeah, that is definitely past.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: But he's yeah, like he basically thinks our living room
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: is a cave.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Interesting. There's always an answer, isn't there There is? You
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: just got to back it up. You just gotta take it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You know, thirty thousand foot view? Why is this happening?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: We solved this in five minutes.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's next? You guys come out? Yes, exactly, the
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: problems will solve them all.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I will solve every single person's problem out.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: That would be a heck of a show if we
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: solved all problems.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I think we would have a successful show.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I would think people would tune in for that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I think so, I would hope.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: So all right, good morning to you, Welcome into the show.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: It's Ashley and Chuck solving everyone's problems here this morning,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and we will do that for the next four hours
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on the radio program. I got what's on tap coming
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: up in a moment. Certainly, we're getting closer and closer
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to training camp, and so that means more and more
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Seahawks football that we'll discuss. As a matter of fact,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: if anything, I feel like I've been on the light
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: side of getting you ready for Seahawks training camp because
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of fascinating topics that we could discuss.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Part of it is because starting Monday, it's just going
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to take over my existence, and so maybe I'm pumping
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that down the road a little bit. But also part
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of it is that our Mariners baseball team is so
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: increasingly aggravating from day to day that they are always
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: topic worthy. So we'll certainly talk some Mariners baseball today,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to cut everybody a break, not lead
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: with it, and I'll tell you why it's not because
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'm avoiding the subject, but it we got a safety
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: who I think could be a future NFL Defensive Player
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of the Year as early as this season, who suddenly
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: appeared on the pup list earlier this week and on Monday.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It caught even the insiders, the guys that cover the beat,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that are there every day off guard like, where did
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this come from? I heard you on with Mike Menton saying,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I think we should be worried about this. It's nothing
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: not too worry about. And yet, you know, I had
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell on vacation. I didn't want to We're getting
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: ready to have him on every single day for the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: rest of his life. So I started like, well, let's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: get a little bit more information. I don't want to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: sound any alarm bells. And then yesterday we find out
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the information about number three. He did have ankle search injury,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and he did have it late in the off season,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and that always begs the question, well, why didn't you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: do this at the beginning of the off season. Why
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: didn't you do this in February? Why didn't you do
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: this the day after the Super Bowl? Super Bowl parade surgery?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And then you would have been yeah, perfectly good and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: ready to go for training camp and everything else. And
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's some obvious answers here, but
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: maybe we do have to sort of go through this.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: We got to sift through this because this is man
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is a really valuable piece and suddenly he is at
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: least at risk of not being ready for opening the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: opening game of the season, even though all stories yesterday
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: suggested that because we're doing it, we did it now,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that he should be ready to go. But should should
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that's not guaranteed that he's going to be ready to go.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And you never know how somebody's going to respond to something,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and reeb, you don't know how well the procedure's going
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to go. And this is that the core of it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much cutting that is done today
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and they're very good at it. They're incredible at it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Surgeons today, the breakthroughs and medicine. The fact that we
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: can get a guy who tears his ACL and he
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: can be ready to go in nine months these days
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: is just that's mind blowing. From when I was a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: kid and somebody tore their wait towards me, I mean,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we didn't even put letters next to it. That's but
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we were all living in the dark because the candles
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: were blown out right now, Yeah, but I mean you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: still despite the breakthroughs that you have and the incisions
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: now are just so precise and so small, and the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: things that they can do with probes and cameras and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: everything else to get inside and clean it up with
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: it out without harm done to surrounding tissues and surrounding areas.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean it's phenomenal. Yeah, it's phenomenal the breakthroughs that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: they've made. Still it doesn't change the fact that if
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you can avoid getting cut on, you want to avoid
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: getting cut on. So here's Nick emon Wari going through
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the off season program, participating in damn near everything, including
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the limbo and the Hula Hoop, which he got a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: blue ribbon and both well done, and the pie eating
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: contest he finished fifth. Oh, so we went through the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: entire offseason program and he was apparently like constantly like,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it's not that didn't fiel one hundred percent, but I'll
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: play through it. I mean, no big deal. I'm sure
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that the amount of times Nick emon Warri probably told
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the training staff and Mike McDonald's no big deal, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: yet it wouldn't go away and I think somebody finally,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: some adult, finally said in the room, enough oait, we
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: can let this thing go, because I think they reached
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the conclusion at some point, you're gonna have to have
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: surgery on this. You just got to clean it out.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: There's nothing terribly wrong, but you know, you just got
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to clean it out. This happens to athletes, happen to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Eric Scooble this season, and now he's went from it
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: hurts too perfectly great again right in the middle of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So I think that some adult John, Mike whoever, just
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: said let's just do it. If it risks opening day,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it risks opening day, if it risks the first two games, fine,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: but we have to have him health. What we don't
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: want to do is find out in the middle of
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the season this is getting worse. It's worse than what
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: we thought, or something else happens to it that makes
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it worse. And now all of a sudden, when we
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: need him the most, he's got to go have surgery
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and Mike miss four weeks or something like that. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I think this was just somebody saying, let's just do
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it now so that we don't have to worry about
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it later, And I think that's a wise decision. In
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: other words, they wanted to get through this and just
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: see if it would naturally sort of the pain sort
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of go away on its own, and then when it didn't,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: at the end of the off season program, I think
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: wiselyly somebody said enough, let's stop mulling over it. Let's
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: just get it cleaned out. And that gives us enough
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: time that we should be on par for opening day.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And if not, if it's week two, it's week three.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: At least we get one hundred percent nick em and Warriback,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: who's not complaining about it being painful. So I think
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: it's a great decision, a smart decision. I really don't
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: think it's anything to worry about now that we know
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: it was just an arthroscopic procedure. We're not attaching a ligament.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: We're not taking you know, a ventricle, and.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I think, goodness, put it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: In his ankle. You know, we're not taking a tendon
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: out of his elbow and placing it down in his ankle.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It's just a clean out, small and small incision. I'm
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: sure a little bit of rehab before he can go
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: full force, and as long as he's one hundred percent healthy.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: He can still study the game plan, he can still
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: study the playbook, he can still do other things. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I think that we should get him back for week one.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: But the best news is that we get one hundred
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: percent nick Emon worry with this behind him as soon
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: as possible. And that's week number two. If that's week
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: number three, fine, That's how I think they should approach it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like that's what they're doing.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it is surprising that the people that covered
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the team didn't know, you know, especially about I guess
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: in the off season.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have to divulge all the information.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But I mean, well, if he was a Mariner, we
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: would have no idea, no clue.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But for him to have gone on the pup
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: list and then people still didn't know why he was
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: on the pup list, including the reporters until yesterday, I
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: mean pretty incredible. And Greg was talking on his show yesterday.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: He even played a clip of an interview he did
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: with Eman Worriy during the earlier practices mini camp things
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and he was like, oh, yeah, it was bothering me
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: and blah blah blah blah blah, but I wasn't gonna
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: miss the super Bowl and oh wow, and didn't say
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: anything about surgery. Yeah, you know, And so even in
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: mini camps they didn't know anything about it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well I think they probably did know about it,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and then they were just like they just thought, you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: time will heal, yeah, you know, when we're not constantly
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: pounding on it. And I mean, an off season is
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a time to heal. Yeah, but they
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: just didn't feel like it's healing, right, So let's just
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: get the procedure done and we will still get at
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: least yes, which is far barring something else, oh gosh,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, we'll get We'll get at least fifteen
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: games out of the guy. But fifteen games at one
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: hundred percent ankle capacity, I'll take it, all right. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: so I'm I'm I'm not gonna worry about it, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I do, you know, obviously this is a big story
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: heading into training camp because of how damn valuable he is.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think I'm being a homer when
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I say this guy might be a defensive Player of
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the Year candidate this season. Now, he'd probably have to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: build up statistics that catch the eye of people that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: don't watch the Seahawks play every game. We knew how
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: valuable he was. It was amazing that we got to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl last year and Patriot fans didn't realize
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: how good he was, or the league in general didn't
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: really great. Well, the secret's out, everybody's figured out now.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: He's just he is just fantastic. If he was that
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: good last year, how good is he going to be
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: this year? And I want to make sure that we
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: get one hundred percent Nick emn worry this year. I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: think that before long, maybe he's not there yet, but
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: before long he will be the best football player on
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: this team.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I absolutely. I don't dispute that the end of.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: The year, Like, by the end of this well, wait
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a minute, JSN is pretty damn good, really good, the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: best defensive player on this team by the end of
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I think you have a legit case for that, honestly.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, there might be people yelling at he already is,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and I'd listen to that argument for sure. Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I just think, yeah, having him get a little more seasoning, definitely,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: then we can really look at him objectively, I think,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: because I do think at the same time, we're all
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: still so just in awe and impressed with what we
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: saw his first year that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe we fangirl a bit in terms of.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know. No, I don't I know. I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: dismissed that. I mean, because I go out of my
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: way not to be that so. No, I think he's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that special. I really do. Just tactically, I think he's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: just that special. All right, let's find out what's on

• 18:46
  Speaker 1: your headlines here and tell you what's on tap for
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: today's show. Like I said, two days still training camp,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: so we're going to ramp that up pretty heavily here today.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk a lot about the Seahawks. Greg
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Bell is going to be joining us at seven o
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: five this morn We were gonna wait until Friday kind
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of kick off training camp coverage with Greg Bell. Sounded
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: like a really tidy, a tidy Friday with Greg Bell,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and instead this news and the Spoon news and so
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: much news regarding the charbone news was so he just
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: kept mounting and I'm like, we got to talk to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Greg earlier than Friday, so he'll be on with us.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: He's back from vacation. He'll join us today at seven
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: o five. The Charbonney news is that he will start
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: on the pup list, but that doesn't surprise anyone. And
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the Weatherspoon Witherspoon news is that they're still expecting. It
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: sounds like I don't know who they are, but people
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: are expecting Devin Witherspoon to be signed to an extension
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: before training camp starts. And I did read report yesterday
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: that he has his agent. They have the same agent,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: he and Christian Gonzales of the New England Patriots. And
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Gonzales is gonna make even more than Spoon, and for
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: good reason. He's unreal, but I think it is. Let's
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: get I think Spoon's gonna get That's the benefit of
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the world thinking that cornerback's better than our cornerback. Is
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that our guy will get done first. Okay, yeah, because
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: because Spoon's gonna pass every other corner yes, and then
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: they're gonna the agent's gonna leave room so that Gonzales
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: can pass Spoon. So our guys should get done first,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and all of that, and then we can stop stop
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: fiddling with it. So that's expected happened before Saturday. We'll
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: see if we get it done, because it is Thursday.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: After all, Sounders lost again and they're a bit lost.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, right now, there's a there's a problem. Three
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to one the final to Austin, and so as they
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: resume play, they don't look like the same team they
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: did in the first half. And and the Mad Scientist
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Brian Schmittzer has been very vocal that, yeah, some some
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: things are wrong about this team and the way they're
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: playing right now, and we got to fix it and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: in a hurry, as the storm fell to the Links again,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: second time in the matter of three days. But that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: might be the best team in the WNBA. And now
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the WNBA gets ready for its All Star break festivities.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Kevin Collabro doesn't just golf with Ashley all the time.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: He's also made news since he golfed with Ashley last Yeah,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: he did. He's leaving the Blazers and so apparently insulted
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: by the contract offer he was given. He called it subprime.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: That sounds like Kevin Collaboro. Yeah, sub prime offer from
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the Blazers and so he's left them and we'll see
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: what his future is. We'll see how long it takes
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to get the Sonics back, but obviously that's everybody's first choice.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Red Sox fifteen game winning streaks stopped yesterday and the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: second game of the doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles, but
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: they are firmly back in the playoff hunt. They are
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a playoff team now, despite about a month ago having
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the worst record in baseball. I guess it wasn't too early.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: And then the Reds beat the Mariners yesterday five to three.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: The final score. We'll break it all down for you
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: with Mariner's Morning After coming your way. Next Sports Radio
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three KHRFM. Good morning to you all.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: It is time for Mariners Morning After right here on
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the morning radio program. Ashley Ryan, Chuck Powell with you,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and every day after a Mariner game winner loose, we
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: have Mariner's Morning After for you. Our postgame show highlighted
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: sound by the preview of what's going on tonight right
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: here on the show. So let's get to it. Mariner's
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: closing out their series with the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: have not been good as of late, but they have talent.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: They certainly have talent. It was on display the last
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: three days. But still we can all agree this felt
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: like a series the Mariners should win at least two
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: games out of one and two games out of three,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and they had that chance yesterday with Emerson Hancock going
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: against a struggling Brady Singer, and Hancock did his job
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: six innings, allowed two runs. Singer was better than he
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: should have been, but he still allowed three runs. We
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: did get to him a little bit in this contest,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: but unfortunately all of that maneuvering to set up well
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: rested Bizardo, Spire and Munios in case we were up
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: one run yesterday afternoon kind of backfired. Bizardo came into
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the game, he walked a batter, he gave up a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: hit to a batter, he had two outs. He got
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Elie Dela Cruz to kind of pop out to left field.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: But that talent I was talking about just seconds ago.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Sal Stewart's a really good hitter, and sal Stewart got
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: us deep to right field, can zone, twisting turning at
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: a run and it's gone opposite field bomb from south Stewart.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: The Reds have taken the lead of the seventh and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: they would hold that lead. Mariners do not score again.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: The final score was five to three. Emerson Hancock does
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: not factor into the decision. Bizardo obviously suffers the loss.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And then what did the Mariners do? They just pitched
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Cole Wilcox down to for the last two innings, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: so munnosendspire. We're not even used yesterday. More on that
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: in a moment.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say which bugs real well.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: So here is Dan Wilson after the game. Yeah, tough
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: afternoon today. You know, I thought.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Emerson, you know, gave us everything he had today, another
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: quality start from from the staff, and and I wasn't sure,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: you know, if he was going to be able to
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: get through that sixth inning with where his pitch count was.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: But uh, you know, ran out there and and was
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: you know incredibly efficient, continue to attack, got through that
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: sixth inning and and you know, set up the bullpen.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Uh and and uh, I thought he just you know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: again made pitches when he had to. You know, they're
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: able to scratch a couple of runs against him, the
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: home run and and uh, you know the infield hit.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: But outside of that, you know, I thought he continued
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: to do what he has done all season long, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: and that was attacked his zone, get ahead, uh and
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: make pitches when he had to, and and uh, you
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: know gave us a chance.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You know, offensively.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a great job by our guys
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: to to grab that lead back after we gave up
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: the two spot there, Uh, to get back on top
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: there three to two, and and you know, we had
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: a couple of chances there and we took advantage of
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: him cal with a with a big RBI single and
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: then rails later with a two rb I single. You know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: great to see that come alive there and and pick
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: up those runs, get lead back. But you know, you know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: sometimes they get you and the three run Homer guys
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: today and put them right back on top, and we
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: weren't able to muster enough to get over the home.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Oh man, Ashley and I were just discussing. So this
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: is just gonna be an inside joke with all the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: people currently listening right now. Yes, if we do in
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the future, decide just to replay the same Dan Wilson
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: interview after wins and the same Dan Wilson interview, it's
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: going to be like from a month ago. If we
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: keep doing this, other people will freak out that tune
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: in that didn't tune in today, that will tune in tomorrow. Yes, oh,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you just played the last one. But you listening right now,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you'll be in on the joke. Yes, if we start
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: doing this, and I don't know if we will, we'll see.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: But it is just formulaic. It is after a loss,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: it's a tough one, and then we don't need you
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to recap the scoring.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and yet he does.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And then you get to the end of it and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: we really fought hard to the end but just didn't
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: have enough today.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: And you always have to praise the starting pitcher.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is That's how it goes every
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: single victory, and the wins don't sound really that much different. No, Frankly, So, look,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I realize what I've kind of established here last Wednesday
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: saying I don't think Dan Wilson's the right man to
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: manage this team the rest of the way. And we've
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: certainly discussed it for the last two weeks as a show,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: as a radio station, as a baseball community here in Seattle.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: So I think people are all most waiting to tune
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: in for me to pile on. I don't want to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: end up piling on. I will say this in defense
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of the Seattle Mariners. I was kind of warned because
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I ended up napping. I'm like, so I kind of
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: half sleep, watched half the game, and then rewatched the
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: entire thing last night. Yeah, so I watched that game
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: once and a half last night.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry exactly.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: And you know, I had, you know, a couple friends
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: like text me, like oh gosh, good luck. Yeah, strap
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: it on. I think it was one of the phrases
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that was used. And I really didn't see the things
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: that are frustrating that have been frustrated. I didn't see
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: like a lapse of judgment or a lapse of focus,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: or a lapse of effort. I didn't see that from
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the team yesterday, which I have seen. I think we've
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: all seen that. I don't think we're imagining that. I
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are things about if I wanted a
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: nitpick about Dan's pitching decisions, oh yeah, we can get
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: into that. But in terms of should Emerson have come
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: out after the sixth, yeah, it was time to take
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Emerson out at the sixth, And you did save your
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: three best guys for the seventh, eighth, the ninth, and
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Bizardo has tended to get that job done for us
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the last two years. So to go to Bizardo, don't
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: have any problem with that. And then once you're down two,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of managers won't use their best two guys
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: at that point down two, even though I think you
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: could have. But I'm not gonna sit here and crush
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: him for it to have gone to Wilcox. So I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: don't know if I had as big a problem with
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: yesterday's Yesterday's Jay. Just looking at yesterday's game, I don't
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: know if I had a huge problem with the way
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it was managed or the way that we played it.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: This is baseball. Cincinnati has some talent. Bizardo didn't have
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: a great day, and South Stewart's a really good hitter
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: and he got us. That's kind of the way I
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: chalked that loss. That's when I chalked that loss up
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: to I didn't think that was some great catastrophic loss
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: that we suffered to the Cincinnati Reds, but you knew
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the butt was coming. But it does reflect on those
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: aggravations that we had in previous games. Just like the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: day before, Ashley when he see this is what happens
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: in baseball. If you're gonna fall down two and then
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: decide we can't come back from that, then why in
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: a one run game the night before didn't you not
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: use spire to protect that one run lead the day before?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: So there is like the moves that are made on
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the board one day do affect the ones that are
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: made the next day. And I mean, now we're gonna
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: be going several days without Munjo's having pitched, So don't
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: be surprised if he stinks the next time that he pitches,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: because this is the pattern with him all season long,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and we've gone a long time without Spire pitching. But
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: we saved those three guys for the next day, found
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: ourselves down too and decided, no, that's way too big
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: of a mountain to climb. So now we didn't get
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: to use them on either day. We got scared of
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: a one run deficit in the ninth and a two
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: run deficit in the eighth, and decided let's not use
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: our best guys, Let's save them for that Ranger series
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: on Friday. So by itself, I didn't have a problem
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: of the way the game was managed yesterday, right, But
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: in the big picture, it does highlight all of the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: aggravations I've had all season long about Dan's pitching decision.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was what was frustrating to me yesterday.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Obviously, there was no guarantee on Tuesday that if you
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have used Rucker and you would have used Spire
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: or Bizardo, that they wouldn't have given up a home run, Right.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: We saw that yesterday with Bizardo there's no guarantee, but
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: it doesn't make it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: The wrong move.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Play the percentages exactly.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: You're you're taking less of a risk by putting one
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: of them in. And so did we expect that from
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Bizardo yesterday?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Had he done it on Tuesday, I wouldn't have been
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: about it because you still put him the right.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Guy, you know.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: And I'll say this quickly and maybe we can expand
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: on a little bit later on. Over the last five years,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: that clubhouse, with a lot of the same guys in it,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: kind of became famous for never quitting coming back crazy rallies.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: This year, do you see any fight in them after
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Dan makes the decision to go to a lesser bullpen piece. No,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I don't either. We don't come back from one run
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: two run deficits anymore. It just says't not with the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: regularity that once we did. And I think a lot
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: of it. I think there's even a psychological component. I
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: can't verify that, but I think there might even be
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a psychological component. I think that when the starting nine
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: c oh, we're going to rutger Oh, okay, I guess,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I guess we're not going to try to win, right.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I don't miss that as a possibility. I don't dismiss
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: that as a reason why we don't get comeback victories anymore.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: When the manager decides we're not that kind of team.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: We gotta we can only play with a lead. I
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if the players don't absorb that. Maybe
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: not consciously, but subconsciously. Is that crazy?
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's crazy. I don't know. I mean
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I think that they.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Probably outwardly have confidence in everyone in that bullpen, so
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I would think if it happens, it would be subconscious.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I don't think that they'd actively sit there thinking, oh, okay,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: so we're done, you know. I think it would be
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: more of a oh you know, in the back of
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: their minds.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, but I will disagree with this. There are
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: guys they trust and there are guys they don't trust,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: even as baseball players.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, I promise, yeah, no, I believe you.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Same thing, like in hitting situation, like right now, they
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: don't trust cayl Rawley's going to get the job done. Yeah,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: as a hitter. They have in the past, but they
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: don't now.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Which Dan's press conference to say, like, oh, to come
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: back from that and go up three too. It's like, well,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: first of all, Cal gave us the lead, the one
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: nothing lead originally, so you can't add that. You just
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: want to give credit for RBIs all right?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell's gonna join us at seven oh five Headlines
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: at seven Coming up next, though, the negotiation that needs
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to end Sports Radio ninety three point three kh A
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: r F might I'm gonna map out my immediate future
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: for you so that you can yeah yeah, yeah, yah yeah.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: So I want you to be prepared. I don't want
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: you to be caught off guard. So I never bring
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: food into the office except for my little breakfast bar.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: But last night, yesterday, I was supposed to buy I
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: was going to buy a pizza and then I was
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: going to eat it for lunch and then save the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: other half of it for dinner. So it was just
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be an all pizza day, nice and then and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: then I didn't. I wasn't able to get my pizza
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: until the evening, so then I had the second and
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: a half and then I'm like, well, I got a
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: busy day today, so I don't know when I'm gonna
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: get to that, you know what, I'm just gonna take
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: it to work, so I have it all bagged up
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: ready to go. Not sure if I'm gonna eat it
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: now or if I'm gonna put in the refrigerator, heat
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it up and eat it as soon as we're off
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the air. But I'm pretty sure this is how it's
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: gonna go because I'd never do this, and it is
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: pretty spicy pizza. Pretty sure I'm gonna eat it here
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: at like seven thirty, Okay, regret that at eight.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a quick regret.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By eight o'clock, I'm gonna regret that, and then
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to probably fall pretty sleepy by about eight
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: forty five. Oh, I'm gonna have difficulty getting through the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: show at nine point thirty, and then at ten o'clock
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I'm probably going to be hungry again.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, I can't wait for this roller coaster.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: So yes, that's what you've got in store for you here.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Today sounds like a journey ready.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Headlines and Greg Bell coming up at the top of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the hour certainly one of the things we're going to
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: discuss with our guy Greg Bell, who we have not
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: talked to in a while on the show. I mean,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: we see him out in the Sports Pit. But we
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: haven't talked to him a while on the show. But
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: to get ready, Greg, it's every day from this point
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: forward for the rest of your life. So we've already
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: discussed even worry. We also have the Witherspoon situation hanging
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: over our heads as well, and I suspect that that's
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: going to get done before camp, and if not, not
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: too far into camp. I mean the love affair that
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: exists with this organization and Devin Witherspoon, like you can
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: cut it with a knife, like it's so thick. Like
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: we've had Greg tell us that's Mike McDonald's favorite player.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to choose your favorites. He would never
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: announce that publicly, but Greg's pretty sure that that's his guy.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And then and it's not even a guy he drafted.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: That was a Pete draft pick if you recall. Yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and so that that relationship is there, they've already had
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: handle the JSN thing. It seems an inevitability that he's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: going to sign. And then Witherspoon, while he's supposedly in
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: contract negotiations, has not only showed up to every offseason program,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: he's been the first guy there every single Yeah, sounds
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: like every single practice. So this should be the easiest
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: thing on earth to get done. I don't know how
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: much time they've spent on this. I don't know if
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: they've even gotten to the role of the sleeves back
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: process of the negotiation. But I mean, I can't even
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: imagine a scenario more obvious than this one. You love him,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: he loves you. You know it's going to cost more
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: than any other cornerback has signed for. So just take
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the next brick in the road, give him the length
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: of contract, five years whatever. This should be knocked out
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: over lunch. So why it hasn't been to this point,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And my guess is the agent's playing
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit of hardball. But my guess also is Spoon,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: once it done before practice starts Saturday. John, once it
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: done before practice starts Saturday. Mike, once it done before
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: practice starts Saturday. So as long as the three can
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: tell the agent to, you know, speed it up, like
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: this is not this is easy.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Get what the progress. This is the easiest.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Thing we can do. Here's the number. It's better than
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: the last elite cornerback signed for, but just a little bit,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: not a lot of it, and so that's what we're doing.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Sign the paper and let's go to work. It should
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: be that easy. This should be done before the I mean,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: you should order your lunch and then in the time
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: that the food comes out the contract, start the contract negotiations,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: and have it finished as the you know, as the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: plate of spaghetti is set down in front of Devin Witherspoon.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: That's how quickly this should be done.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: And the fact that vets are reporting tomorrow and nothing's
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: been done is surprising because we, I think have all
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: expected that they would have this done before they're even
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: getting to camp. You've now got two days before camp
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: officially starts, before he has to set foot on a field,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: and there should be no reason for him to.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Not set foot on a field on Saturday. Make it easy.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll find out from Greg Bell what the latest
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: is on that Emon Worri charbonnet and if Greg Bell's
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: going to get a haircut before Hard Knocks. All of
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: that's next. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
