• 0:09
  Speaker 1: You feeling me?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I do feel you.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's probably right. Yeah, I think so. Great morning to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you all.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Seven o'clock hour. Anders Hurst and I move into the
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: second hour of the radio program. Travis Moger is here
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: as well, looking dapper with his brand new haircut. Cannot
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: wait till later in the show when we ask him
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: about the concert.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: To see if he rubbed up on his wife.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Or anything like that at the concert last night. So
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: we'll get into that a little bit later on in
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: the show. Also later, as a matter of fact, three
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: minutes from now, Greg Bell's going to be joining us here,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: our Seahawks insider. The latest and the greatest here on
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a hump day as they now start to prepare for
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders who are awfully beaten and battered already
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: this season. It is amazing how many injuries accrue in
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: this sport. I mean, to be in week number three
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: and have like four quarterback situations going on already.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Week three.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I think five if you include Atlanta. But I guess
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: they're starting Pennix now.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's true. All right.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: But let's get to your headlines first. They're brought to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: you by Frostbrood Coors Light Cold. As the Rockies Mariners
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: lost last night to the Houston Astros.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: They won nothing. You get nothing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: They won squad douche. 7-0 the final score. The Astros,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: with a number of pitchers, shut out the Mariners. Meanwhile,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Logan Gilbert got roughed up, gave up 10 hits over
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: four innings, and that was pretty much it. 7-0 the
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: final score. Jordan Alvarez right now playing for an MVP award.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The Astros are playing for the division title and are
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: now tied with the Texas Rangers atop the American League West,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: even though they have a record that is below 500.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: May have been a year to seize that opportunity. But
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the M's now sitting there with a what's the opposite
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of a magic number? A tragic number. A tragic number
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: of one. Both the Rangers and Astros have five games
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to play, so do the Mariners, and the Mariners trail
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: both teams by five games. So any combination of a
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Rangers victory, Astros victory, or Mariners loss, and they will
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: be officially eliminated from the playoff picture, which we've now
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: known for quite some time that they were out of
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: that picture.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: All right, next up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Sounders, Real Salt Lake playing tonight at 6.30. You can
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: hear that at Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Jackson Feltz
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: with the pregame at 6 o'clock. Huskies are going to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: host the Gophers. Speaking of our flagship teams, they'll play
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. Cam Cleland will join us today at 9 o'clock.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to discuss the first Big Ten matchup of the year.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: College football's monster week number four is going to feature
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: six different top 25 matchups.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: It's been sort of a light season.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Thus far, usually just like one marquee game for two
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: straight weeks, and then the rest with all the cupcake
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: wars going on. But now we're getting into it. Now
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: we're getting into the heart of the college football season.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: From the National Football League, Jackson Dart was reassessed yesterday,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and it was discovered that that injury is worse than
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: what we originally believed. So it went from two to
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: four weeks to probably out for the season as he
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is facing surgery on that knee. Meanwhile, the Bears might
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: be down to their third quarterback for Monday night against
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles. Caleb Williams has a hamstring. Tyson Bajent
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: has a... concussion so the bears went from 59 points
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: in week one to three and week two to third
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: string quarterback in week number three uh man things happen
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: fast in the national football league uh the week will
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: start with atlanta at green bay tomorrow that's your thursday
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: night football matchup and the seahawks will take on the

• 4:28
  Speaker 2: How's your foot? I'm just telling Travis I'm in a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: walking boot now because the podiatrist was digging at it
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: yesterday and got a lot of it out, but not
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: all of it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: No Caleb Williams from Greg Bell. He came in here
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: just looking normal, trying to brush it aside, and now
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: he's in a walking boot?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: You were hurt more than Caleb Williams, and I would
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: just like to thank you for not crying in the
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: studio yesterday.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't have a motorized cart or a towel
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to put over my heart, so I had to just
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: keep going.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You had to soldier on, so to speak.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Did you have sea urchin last night, you know, to
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: get back at the bastards?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Man, that thing. That's crazy how that, yeah, that's just nuts.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And they're just sitting there on the coral, minding their
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: own business, you'd think. And then you put your foot
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: on it and it attacks it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I rushed into it. It doesn't attack it, but it
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: certainly seemed like it jumped out and ate me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy how much havoc it's caused. I mean...
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I've got traipse all over the East Coast this weekend
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: with sea urchins in my foot and I'm walking.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, just to relate it a little bit and
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: then we'll get into Sam Darnold and other topics, Mike
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: McDonald and what have you, but have you ever heard
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: of Jumping Cactus?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of that?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, I've heard, yes. There are people who swear that's
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: a thing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It is a thing, because I have been hit by one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Like, I lived on Scottsdale Mountain in Arizona for a
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: bit of time, and I had all.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Of these trails and mountains to run and walk.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And everything else, and there is a specific type of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: cactus that if you get too close of it, it
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: can feel the vibrations. A little prong of it, a little, like, pod,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: will shoot off, and it went, It can go.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Through your jeans and into your leg, which it did.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It does exist. It did happen.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Now, I didn't have near the damage you did. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: just had a few holes in my leg for a
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: little while, and I was fine. But had I not
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: been wearing jeans, I wonder what it would have done
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Like a porcupine attack. Yeah. Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like a sea porcupine attack. It was
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: some way. How's the cinnamon Pop-Tart figure?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, it's blistered.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing that I'm still functioning, frankly. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: thanks for everybody's well wishes, by the way. And I
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: did get everybody's candy grams last night.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Get some cards. Edible arrangements.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Really did my heart well, even though my thumb is
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: forever effed.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: If it was cookies and creams Pop-Tart, it wouldn't have happened.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right. All right, let's talk some Seahawks football.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: We've talked about sea urchins, Pop-Tarts, and jumping cactus so far.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Who else has done that in America?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: No one. What a country.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: All right, so Sam Darnold returns to practice.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: What kind of gauge do you have for how many
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: reps he's going to get versus Drew Locke?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: How's this going to work this week?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I think today is going to be his fewest snaps
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of the week. And on the assumption that today he
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: responds okay, today his strained glute responds okay today, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: get the sense that he'll get more Thursday. And by Friday,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they'll probably be at a point of saying, all right,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: is he going to start the game or not? If
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: he's still fine on Friday, I think he gets the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: preponderance of first-team reps Friday and then starts. I still
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: don't know that that's the right thing, that they would
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: get away with still Drew Locke and how well he's
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: playing and how their defense is playing for him to
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: start on Sunday. The winless commanders are the backup quarterback
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: playing for him, Marcus Mariota for injured Jaden Daniels. But
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I think there's definitely something to be said for the leadership,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the locker room chemistry, what players, what teammates expect, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: taking care of your franchise quarterback. If he's healthy enough
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to play... He'll play. And they want to make that
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: clear to him and to the rest of the team.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's already said that, but there's a lot of
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: value in that for the locker room. Hey, wait a minute.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: This is our guy. What are you not playing him for? And, Darnold,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you want to keep Darnold. Not that he wouldn't be
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: on board anyway, but you want to make sure you've
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: taken care of your franchise quarterback who won you a
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl a few months ago. But... The but is,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't respond well to... I would think he'll
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: be limited somewhat today. I would guess they're going to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: list him as a limited participant in practice, meaning he
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't take 100% of his normal reps, meaning he doesn't
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: get all the first-team reps today. That's my guess. But
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: if he responds well to that tomorrow, I think he's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: going to play, and that they'll give him more of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the reps and so on. They don't want to have
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: a quarterback play that didn't get all the reps, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: so Drew Locke, if he gets fewer reps, probably won't play,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: but I think he certainly has earned the right to play,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and the team is playing so well that you could
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: make the argument to just rest Darnold and just ease
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: him through practice this week and get him back on
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the field and then play next week.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I would do, but I don't think
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: football coaches approach it that way.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: No, I do. Like we mentioned, there's only 17 of
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: these rather than 82 or 162. basketball or football true.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Um let's get an update on the running back situation
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: as well i know a similar question that i asked
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: you yesterday but with Price coming off the shoulder injury
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: and Emmanuel Wilson performing well down the stretch of that
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: game against the Cardinals, do we have a different running
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: back death chart possibly by Sunday?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I think so. There's a possibility of that. And let's
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: not forget Zach Charbonnet might practice today. The NFL rule
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: changed it. guys on the physically unable to perform list
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: as Charbonnet is, can begin practicing after the 18-second game.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: If he does practice today or any time this week,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that would start a 21-day window that he has before
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: he can return. Mike McDonald was saying that they want
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to give Charbonnet the longest possible ramp up to return
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the play that they can. If they start practicing him
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: this week and he's okay to do that, Three weeks would,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: of course, go past the four weeks he has to
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: miss on the pup list. It would give him an
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: extra week after he would become eligible to play. Even
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: with this rule change, after two weeks he can practice,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: he still can't play until after the fourth week. So
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: he would have two full weeks of practice if he
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: starts this week. So it's a little bit confusing. I
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: don't know if I confused you on that. But they
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: have a chance now to get Charbonnet back. Price doesn't
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: sound like a long-term thing, maybe not even missing this game,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: but they're getting holer at running back with Emmanuel Wilson's
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: emergence in 92 yards the other day.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell is with us, our Seahawks insider, joining us
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: right here on Chuck in the Morning, Sports Radio 93.3
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: KJR FM, as he does most every day. You can
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: follow Matt G. Bell, Seattle on X, and of course, thenewstribune.com.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I might argue that a year ago, the
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Seahawks kind of, ruined the commanders franchise i mean the
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: great feeling that they had in 2024 and then they
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: started off three and two lost jayden daniels to injury
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: he comes back for the seahawks game and the seahawks
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: just absolutely annihilated them in every fashion and then on
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: top of it all injured the quarterback again before the
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: game could expire and they just have not been the
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: same uh since this is a this is a struggling
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: franchise right now that we're facing whoa uh that we're
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: facing uh on sunday greg and and and and the
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: and the way that their season has started it's kind
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: of feeling like it's going to be a long year
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: for commanders football already a week number three we're feeling.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: That way Yeah, I was there in Landover that night
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: when Jaden Daniels dislocated his elbow the first time running
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: in a blowout. And then all of D.C. was wondering
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: why did Dan Quinn have Daniels in that game because
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks were up by four scores or whatever it
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: was in the fourth quarter at the time. And it
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: did take the air out of the franchise. And the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: team that went to the NFC title game two years
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: ago fell flat, not even close to the playoffs, sub-500.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Another 0-2 this year, Daniels with another dislocated elbow. And, yeah,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have the Washington Commanders play-by-play guy, radio
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: play-by-play guy on my show today at 11 o'clock, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask him how Dan Quinn has handled
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: all this. Quinn has had a really interesting, to say
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the least, coaching career after leaving the Seahawks as a
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl defense coordinator, the whole Atlanta Falcons thing. leading
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: what it was, 28-3 in the Super Bowl over the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Patriots and losing. He was that close, Dan Quinn was,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: to being a Super Bowl champion head coach in his
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: first job. He comes to Washington amid ownership turmoil and
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: franchise and disarray and gets him one step from going
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: back to the Super Bowl, and now here he is.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: They do have a veteran, Marcus Mariota, who's played 1,000
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: games and played the Seahawks 100 times. And that's an
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: asset in a week like this, to get ready and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: be thrust into this role. But they built their offense
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and their franchise around Jaden Daniels. Clint Kingsbury last year,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: David Slough this year, they really play offensive football based
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: around their quarterback's ability to run, extend plays. They do
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: read options with the quarterback. They do a lot of things.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: that is predicated on Daniels that you wouldn't think a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: 33-year-old Marcus Mariota is going to do this week. So
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the commanders will have to change again. And I'll say
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: it again. This is another game the Seahawks should win
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: with the defense they play. And under Mike McDonald, they
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: win these games. They have not punted games like this
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: that they should win, no matter who's at quarterback Sunday.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Do people understand how close– Mike McDonald came to becoming
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders football coach?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, probably not because he didn't come in. But yeah,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and others too that looked at him. But the Commanders
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: knew him. The Commanders had joint practices with the Ravens regularly.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And when you do that, the coaches get to know
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: each other. The organizations get to know each other. The
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: assistants know each other. There's kind of a camaraderie there
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: during training camps that you don't get during a season, obviously.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: That's part of it, and the proximity is another part
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of it. In fact, Mike McDonald married a former commander's cheerleader.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: He's now the mother of his children. Yeah, there is
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a deal there that most people
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: may not realize about. Lucky for the Seattle people, this.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Life and sports, but from what I gather, he was
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: going to take the commander's job, and John said, just
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: come visit us, and kind of stole him in the
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: middle of the night, put him on a flight, never
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: told the commanders, got him here, and then never let
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: him leave the building.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: That's some amazing theater right there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: First, John Schneider flew to Baltimore to get him to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: convince him to come out. The very first meeting they
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: had together was in a hotel right next to the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and then got him. I was walking past the stadium
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: at the Army-Navy game last December, and somebody pointed out
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to me that was the stadium that Mike McDonald had
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: his meeting with John Schneider for the first time. And
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: that's where he convinced him to come out to Seattle
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and then be right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Can we put a plaque there?
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks should. The Seahawks fans should probably go to
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Baltimore and the Inner Harbor and put a plaque to
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that hotel. This is where. It'll be like in Green Bay.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows the hotel that Vince Lombardi was introduced to
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: the first time as a head coach. I stayed at
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: that hotel last summer. And, yeah, that should be in
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Seahawks history more.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Mike McDonald, your take on that entire Graham
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Bensinger leaked audio thing from yesterday.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Well, let's say a couple things. First, Mike McDonald learned
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: a lesson, for sure, that reporters, journalists, cameras are rolling.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: It all becomes a fair game. But just in the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: course of just being two dudes talking, as we say
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: in the business, that should not have been aired. And
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt that McDonald didn't think it would be. McDonald,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: he admits this. He's a nerd. He's somewhat awkward socially.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: He gets nervous talking even one-on-one to people. And you
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: could tell, I mean, just watch the clip. You could
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: tell the cameras panned out. There's producer assistant, production assistants
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: walking around, fixing the lighting and the sound and the setting.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That wasn't the main interview. That was just getting it
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: down and, Hey, welcome to my house. And just starting
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to chat and McDonald just to try to break ice. Hey,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I got a funny story about Sean Payton. That was
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: obviously not an interview and not a part of it
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: that he thought was going to be aired, but, The
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: letter of the journalism law is if you don't say, hey,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: this is off the record, whether it's McDonald saying that
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: or Benzinger saying this is all off the record. If
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: you don't say that explicitly, then it's on the record.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: That's just the journalism. That's a matter of law. But
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I will tell you that Benzinger violated journalism ethics. I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: know years of things. Already, and I've only covered him
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: three seasons, but I know years of things about Mike
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: McDonald that he's told me and told beat writers in
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: settings that weren't in interviews that I've never written. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: just last month, we met in Nashville at the Team
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Hotel with McDonald. We sat around for about an hour
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and a half and drank beers and talked about a
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: ton of stuff, none of which has seen the light
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: of day of print. And the beat writers like me
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: that know that watch this and go, what the hell?
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And but it's the Graham Benzinger's of the world who
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: make millions of dollars and on television and get stories
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and then put out stuff like this that don't have
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: the accountability of having to face the guy you just
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: did that to every single day like I do. So
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to maintain a journalism relationship with someone, you don't do that.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: You don't burn your guy that you have to. professional
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: relationship with every day but a Graham Benzinger of the
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: world comes in with his TV crew and lighting crew
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: into his house does it and leaves and then doesn't
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: have to face the music and be accountable to what
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: he does after that well I do and there's journalism
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: ethics there that he violated that I don't violate and
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: unfortunately there are fewer and fewer people who have journalism
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: ethics anymore because what the hell is journalism This is
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: a perfect example of that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: We have a minute.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Is there any fallout from this? I mean, is the league,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: did their ears perk up about video?
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Does Peyton have a beef?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, does this go anywhere, or does it die
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: with just some uncomfortable, awkward futures between Peyton and McDonald?
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the latter, because honestly, It is open
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: source material what's on the Internet. And also the Seahawks
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and every other team in the league have staffers that
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: do just what they were talking about, that peruse the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Internet I mean, there are teams that peruse my Internet
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: and social media account, that peruse my Twitter account for
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: videos we post at training camp practices. Training camp practices
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: are the only time fans can be there the entire season.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: And they use their phones because everyone has a phone,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: and they put videos out, and now everyone that has
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: a thumb can have a platform with social media. And
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: every team in the league does this, has guys monitor
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: those social media accounts and see what they can find.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: So what he did, it was open source material. Now
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit shady, and talk about chasing edges.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: That's quite an edge to chase to have 100 plays
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: that fans posted as they're scouting. But it wasn't. It
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: certainly wasn't Spygate, which is what McDonald raised the specter of.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's that. I mean, I guess the Seahawks,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: if they were consistent, they could threaten to sue anybody
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: who wants to do anything against them for what they did.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you that every team does this
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and scans the Internet to see what other things are
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: out there about other teams. So the lesson for the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Broncos and Sean Payton is what the Seahawks have done.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Since Mike McDonald became the coach... Fans are told at
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a big announcement at each practice, okay, we've now reached
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a portion of practice. It's usually after individual and stretching.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: We've now reached a point of practice where you cannot
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: use your phones pointed toward the field. You can't record
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: any of these parts of practice the rest of the time.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Violators will be thrown out. And they actually have people
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: scanning the crowd and walking into the crowd. and telling
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: people if they see the camera pointed toward the field
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: during the times that they're in formation to cut it
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: out or warn them, and then they could kick them out.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's been much more, they've been much more cracking down
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: on that the last couple of years, and now we
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: know why.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Peyton instructs his people to just smash
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the phones. Yeah, just smash them.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll be listening at 10 o'clock. Thank you, sir.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: We appreciate it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Happy.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell joining us, and I know he wanted you
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: all to say happy Wednesday to you, but Travis cut
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: him off because Travis was like, enough, we've got to
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: get to break. That's confusing right there. Greg will be
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: back on 10 o'clock here this morning. All right, coming
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: up next, we'll play some Factor Fiction at 735. It's Anders'

  Speaker 1: Everything. Tulalip.com.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: It's Waver Wire Wednesday as well. And so just a
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: couple of little tips as you're getting ready to set
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: your fantasy lineups. News information, first of all, Jonathan Brooks,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: who's the second year, I think, running back for the
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers, just declared this morning he's out six weeks minimum.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: So whoever has Chuba Hubbard, you're feeling pretty good about
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: things right now. Or if you have Jonathan Brooks... Or
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: we have Jonathan Brooks. You're not feeling good. You might
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: as well cut him. I don't think that he's going
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: to benefit you. But you did pick up Bryce Young,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I saw, in our league. And I think that's a
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: pretty good play right now. And he's another guy that
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: might benefit from this. More of the offense might fall
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: to Bryce Young. And he's actually playing well so far. Yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: he's been one of the better quarterbacks in the league.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: It's taken a couple years for him to really realize
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: his potential. But he's looked really good. He had a
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: good second half of the year last year. And now
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: with Jackson Dart injured, I needed a quarterback. That's the
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: other news this week. Jackson Dart obviously is going to
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: miss this week, might miss the entire season. That obviously
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: devalues the New York Giants for the rest of the year.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: And the Chicago Bears could be devalued for this weekend.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: So on a waiver wire Wednesday, just warning you. They
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: might be down to their third string quarterback. Caleb Williams
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: probably not going to play. Tyson Bajent, the backup, got
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: a concussion in that game.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: So that's going.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: To devalue Swift and Burden and Adunze and Loveland. So
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: you might want to find guys. I picked up Dalton
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Schultz because I have Loveland. He's been wonderful so far
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Ooh, Loveland or Schultz? Yeah, Sam. Loveland. He's been real lovely.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson, by the way.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: He might be the single rock toter this weekend. If
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Charbonnet's not ready to come back or Price is going
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: to miss some time, Emmanuel Wilson.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to be RB1 for the Seahawks.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: And then one of the big popular pickups, and this
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: guy should already be on teams, Denzel Boston for the
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Browns is just off to a flying start, living up
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: to all that hype he was garnering during training camp.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: So pick him up if he is available in your league.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Let's play some Factor Fiction.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: grand prize.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: It's Fact or Fiction.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: day feels lucky. Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: KJR FM.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Anders.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Travis got us going with a nice victory on Monday night.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: We'll see if my Chiefs over Dolphins pick will pan
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: out this Sunday. We got to get on a roll.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: We got off to a sluggish start. So why don't
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: you get us going here today?
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going with a home dog. Nice Vegas-ish bet
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: to do. Cowboys are getting three and a half points
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: at home today. against the Baltimore Ravens for whatever reason
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: everyone is just hyping the crap out of the Ravens
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: especially Vegas.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: I know especially Vegas I know they're really smart yeah.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: And like I get I don't think the Ravens are
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: a bad team oh they're good they're a good team
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: but I don't think they're unbeatable by any stretch. They
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: lost to the Saints at home over the weekend. There's
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: questions about Zay Flowers, if he's going to play.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Please play. For other reasons.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: But Cowboys, I think, had a really good bounce back
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: week last week after their tough week one against the Giants.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Their offense looks as good as it has in a
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: long time, and their defense kind of took another step forward.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a high-scoring game, don't get me wrong,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: but I just think three and a half points At
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: home for the Dallas Cowboys is too much. They can
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: lose by a field goal, and I still get the
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: cover here. I think the Cowboys actually probably win this game.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: But give me Dallas plus three and a half at
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: home versus the Baltimore Ravens.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: I love picking the team getting points that I think
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: is going to win outright, especially the home team.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: They're going to win outright, but that one certainly stood
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: out to me yesterday as well. I almost took that game,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and that's when it was at three. I'm sitting there thinking, really?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Why do people love the Ravens so much? I don't understand.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: And then after seeing that, people bet on the Ravens more.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: So there must be a guy with a lot of
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: money like Elon Musk must love the Ravens this year
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: or something. Because, man, I'm with you.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like they're being slightly overbet. And I like them.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to be a playoff team this year.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: But they're treating them like they're the Rams of the
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: AFC or the Seahawks of the AFC at this point.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: And it's crazy. All right, so three and a half.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys are at home.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Getting three and a half points, which means if the
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Ravens win by four points or more, Anders loses his pick. Otherwise,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Anders gets every other scenario. If you agree with the selection,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: go ahead and text FACT to 49451. If you disagree
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: with the selection, text FICTION to 49451. Please, just FACT
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: or FICTION. Nothing else or it won't count. If you're right,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: we're going to enter your name into a drawing for
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: $ 1, 000 in cash at the end of the week, which
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: means you have 20 opportunities to get into that drawing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: And you can get up to 20 entries into the
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: drawing if you're right every single time we play here
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: at Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. And $ 10, 000 is the
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: jackpot that goes to the winner this year. of Factor Fiction,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: and that's the person that gets the most correct picks
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: this football season. It's all brought to you by Lucky
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every day feels lucky.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Really quick, I did just find out, thank you to
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: a texter who pointed this out, the game is actually
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: not in Dallas, it's in Brazil.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: So, I mean, I can't change the pick, obviously. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: already told you guys. I still don't hate it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: But that would explain a little bit more why they're
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: getting that many points. Again, I still don't hate it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: I still think the Cowboys have a chance to win
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: So we're not changing it no you're going absolutely not
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: uh but everybody knows the cowboys have a huge advantage
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: in brazil of course they have that latino community just
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: locked down everybody knows cowboys playing in rio de janeiro
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: is a plus three.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Everybody yep yeah yeah okay But.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Still, just so everyone knows, Dallas plus three and a half.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: The game is in Brazil versus the Baltimore Raid.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: All right. That's an excellent distinction. Sorry we didn't report
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: that right off the bat. But, again, the pick stands.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Anders is going to take Dallas plus three and a
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: half against the Baltimore Ravens. If you agree with that,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: text FACT to 49451. If you disagree, text FICTION to 49451.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Your next chance to play is coming your way at
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: 1135 on the Greg Bell Show with the lovely Jessamyn McIntyre.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: All right, coming up next, we get reckless at breakfast,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: which is actually going to get so reckless, it's going
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: to spill into the 8 o'clock hour.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Oh, I love seeing a Neil Diamond.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I know. One of the funniest nights of my life
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: was just, I don't even know why. I wasn't even drinking.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't even drink at the time. Just a bunch
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: of my buddies in Vegas. We were sitting around.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: We had a house party. All of our girlfriends slash
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: wives were with us. And for some reason, we started
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: singing every song we could think of, like Neil Diamond.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: And it was the most I've laughed in my entire life.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: It's so much fun.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Top five hardest I've laughed in one day in my
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: entire life was that night.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: And it was so simple. It is. And all the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: women were like, what do you got? Enough.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And we could not stop. I love those jokes.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: It's time to get a little reckless at breakfast. And look,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: I'm going to spill this over into the next segment.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm being so nonchalant.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: That's how reckless we're going to get at breakfast today
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: is that we started a brand new Wednesday feature called
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Mirror Mirror. And I'm going to use reckless at breakfast
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: to get us into breakfast. Mirror, mirror at 8 o'clock.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: And here's how mirror, mirror works. I am the fairest
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: of them all. That's my approach to all of this.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: And so I'm going to take a stance on something.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: You're the most attractive?
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: No, not that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Or pale. Oh, okay.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even though we must admit. It's pretty close. I'm
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: really pale. We have a pretty pale show today. Yeah.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: But no, I'm fair. I'm going to be just fair.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: And I want to hear your criticisms. That's the idea
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: of it. I'll take my stance and then you weigh
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: in with your criticisms. But here's the catch. You can
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: use the talkback feature. You can use the text line.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: You can use YouTube. But I only want one argument
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: at a time. Because if you give me a mountain
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: of evidence, we can't sift through it all. I want
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: one because I want to cover as many arguments against
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: this as I possibly can. And I was going to
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: do baseball today, but something changed my mind during yesterday's
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: show and on social media last night.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: So here's the question. I want to hear from the people.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: That are responding to yesterday's conversation about Drew Locke.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I want to know.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: If you're one of those, absolutely, there is no scenario
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: where I trade Drew Locke and here's why. So those
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: are the responses that I want to get from you.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: And now I would like to make clear here in
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Reckless at Breakfast, I don't want to trade Drew Locke either.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: That was not what was discussed yesterday in our first show.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately, when it was simplified on social media, people
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: went haywire. And then all night long kept reacting to
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: the simple question of a very complex and layered conversation
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: about whether or not there is a scenario where John
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Schneider would consider trading Drew Locke this season.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And people went apy on it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: And so I would just say this in the reckless
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: at breakfast portion of the conversation.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: That was a very detailed and I thought thought out
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: conversation about where Drew Locke's value is in the league,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: what it would be to the Seahawks the rest of
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: the season. And there was nothing said about when Sam
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Donald returns, trade him. Matter of fact, I don't think
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: that I would trade him. What the conversation was about was.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: If Sam Darnold returns, proves healthy, you get to the
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: trading deadline and some other team loses its starting quarterback
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: and makes an offer for the best backup in the
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: National Football League to try and save their season because
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: their goal is to win the title. What is the
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: price of that you would move Drew Locke at?
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: That's the way you frame it, yeah.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: How would, what would it take you to consider trading
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: away what on paper is a backup that won't play
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: for you the rest of the year, who is a
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: free agent and will walk undoubtedly at the end of
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: the season? Is there a price that you would pay to,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: that you would accept, I should say, in a trade
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: for Drew Locke if somebody came knocking on your door,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: not that you were going to shop him. And here's
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: why I know people got it wrong. Because when the
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: tweet initially went out, all the responses were, absolutely not.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: And then when other people said, well, what if it's
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: a first rounder? Those people then responded, well, yeah, if
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: it's a first rounder.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: So you're admitting that there is a price.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: And the point of.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: The conversation at six o'clock yesterday morning is where would
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: that price be? What would John Schneider actually consider if
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: it came down to this at the trading deadline in
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: seven weeks from now? With Drew Locke's two games these
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: last two weeks as the last evidence of how good
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: a quarterback he's become being out there on the market.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: What would teams pay in order to.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Get him at the trading deadline if they lost their
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: starting quarterback and didn't want to abandon their own championship
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: dreams and Sam was healthy and playing good football?
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: That was the conversation. It wasn't, Sam's back, trade two.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Nobody said that. Certainly didn't say it that way.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: We took 20 minutes to discuss it to make sure
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: that I was covering every single base in this conversation.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: And yet there were still some things that were left
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: unsaid and uncovered. And so that's why we open it
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: up on Mirror Mirror to your feedback on Talkback at
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: 93.3 KJR.com on the text line or on YouTube. But
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I just want one reason and one reason alone. If
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: you are in the camp of there is absolutely no
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: way that I would trade Drew Locke and here's why,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: we'll go through your feedback here in a little bit.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: But even Greg Bell, when we had him on and
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I asked, his initial reaction was, no, I didn't even
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: get the question out. No, absolutely not.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: No chance.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: And then when I said, even if it's like a
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: second round pick, no, nobody's going.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: To offer a second round pick. But what if they did?
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: That's the point. If everybody says, well, yeah, no, absolutely not.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Well, nobody's going to offer a first-round pick. Well, where
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: is the medium? Where is the price that you would
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: be willing to pay? That John Schneider does have to say,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: wait a minute. Mike, what if we could get a
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: second-round pick and Carson Wentz so we can cover our
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback position from the Vikings at the trading deadline
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: for a guy we're going to lose in two months?
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: See?
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: There's a scenario here. But we're going to open it
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: up to you. Mirror Mirror will be here in a second.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: And I promise you, I promise you, he will be
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: the fairest of them all.
• 37:42
