Furness Show 3-26: Mariners Opening Day, Jaxon Smith-Njigba joins · The Ian Furness Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We've got Major League Baseball tonight with two playoff teams
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: from a year ago. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to season fifty.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Can you feel the excitement in the air. I would
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: normally say yes, because on a normal day I would
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: be down at Jimmy's on first off. You'll be there
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: at two with John Stanton, by the way, But we're
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: here at the KRACK and Hockey Network studios, the former
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Root Sports.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Studios, and it is lonely out here, Anders. It is lowly.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Really. Yeah, it's sad ghost town.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Don't want to start on a downer, but I mean
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: there's so much talk to the last couple of days
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: about TV and working to watch the Mariners and all this,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and I know one place you can't watch them as
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Root Sports, and they got their own little thing, MLB TV.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I think Major League Baseball is going down a very
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: very dangerous MLS type of road in a different way,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: but trying to find a way for people not to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: watch their games. And there's only one league that can
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: afford to do that, and that's the NFL. And because
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: guess what, you'll always find the end at some point
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in April May June. If you're MLB at some point,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: if you're the NHL, at some point, you're the MLS,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: people will just say, it's not worth my time to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: try to figure out where the hell I'm at, how
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: much I gotta pay. Marors have four games this weekend
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: on three different places to watch. Two of those are
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: pay per view, Peacock and Apple.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Whatever. We move on, let's get to the baseball team.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, we were just talking about this, baseball
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: is a weird sport. Just when you like, if you
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: were sitting in the our sponsors Stokoma Casino sportsbook this morning, enders, Yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: if you were sitting there this morning and you were
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: looking at the sports book and it said, man, I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: think Paul Schemes innings pitched over under four and a half,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: would you not have taken the over all day long?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I probably absolutely would have taken the over Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Considering he just always doesn't go short stints correct, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: he's Paul Skeins right, probably.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: The second or saw Bill. Lot of people think he's
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the best pitcher in baseball.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Well, how do you do today? Anders? Not well?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Ian, not well at all. He got pulled in the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: first inning.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Apparently playing a shortstop in center field isn't a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: good idea for the UH for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: bring that up only for this reason. It's opening Day.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's one of one sixty two. Whatever happens tonight, fine,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you move on, you got another game tomorrow. But it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: nice to get off to a good start. It's nice
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to get things going. It's nice to have that great
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: start to the season. And really the crazy thing for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the Mariners is they've done that, like they have done
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that all time. Thirty and nineteen on opening Day. That's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the second best record in MLB history, only trailing the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: New York Mets, which I don't know if you always want.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: To be in the same conversation with them.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But nevertheless, good opening days four and one of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the last five opening days as well, six and two
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: were the last eight fifteen and four of the last
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: nineteen open So this is a team that gets off
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to at least game one good start normally. So if
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you're going to game tonight, or if you're looking around
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to find out where you can watch it and hopefully
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you find your answer, good chance that Logan Gilbert and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the Mariner's gonna get a.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Win on opening Day. I like that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's like that, all joking aside, most anticipated season in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a long long time, probably ever for this baseball team.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: We did a little thing with Chris and Nathan the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: other day.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: We're gonna give you that coming up in a minute,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: just kind of an expectations for the season. Chris is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: more of a demand our molly Wop guys by two
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I simply Seattle simply sail dot com. By the way,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: cool looking shirts we got now, the Sonic shirts are awesome.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the players are working yesterday.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mariner players wearing them. So go check those out
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: at simply sale dot com. But here's the thing. We'll
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: take some texts and maybe even a talkback or two
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio after the microphone in the last segment
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: four nine four to five one is takomadadje text line
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Opening Day. I'm gonna ask you a very simple question,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is it special? And if so, why is this a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: special day for you? And simple as that, four nine
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: four or five to one. We'll get your thoughts coming
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: up in a little bit. Anders for you, Yes, I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: sure it is. You're a baseball nerd.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Absolutely Opening is very special. I may not have as
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: much of a sentimental take on it as what Chris
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and Nate did on Monday, and we'll hear some of
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that as well a little bit later. They articulated much
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: better than I can. But for me, it's just what
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a perfect day for it too. It's a nice and
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: sunny out, feels like we're kind of getting out of
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the winter, the depths of the winter here a little bit.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: But it's just to start a baseball season. For me,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it's simple as that, and that's a great thing. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I like watching baseball games every day. I'm lucky enough
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: to get to do a postgame show on YouTube with
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Chris Crawford. That'll kind of start the routine for me.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And I now have a son that I get to
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: experience this with, and obviously he's still only just over
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: a month old, so you won't really know what's going
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: on just yet. But I hope by the end of
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: this year the baseball season, like in October ish and
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: hopefully maybe in November a little bit, I'm sitting him
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: on my lap showing him how baseball works during a
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Mariners World Series run. So that's kind of all I
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: can hope for here in twenty twenty six.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Do you think he'll pull a Chris or a Nate
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and question Dan Wilson's every movement.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if he's talking about then that'd be great.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: He'll learn how to, you know, yell at managers before
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: he figures out how to say dad Dad.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I like that. I like that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would tend to agree. I think, just for me,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it's special. I think it's special for a couple of reasons. One,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know, especially in our world out here in the Northwest,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and it's not like we're not going to see rain,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gracekuis and cold weather in the next couple months.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: That's just part of the world. Hello Marine Layer.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: But it does kind of feel like, Okay, we've gotten through.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: We've made it through the winter months for the most part,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: we've made it through the dark days. We're into daylight
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: savings time. There's there's an eternal optimism with most teams
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: around baseball, more so this year than any with this
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: baseball team, which is cool. But I think for us, yeah,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I think that it's just kind of the signal of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a good time of the year. It's to me, it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: signal of the good time the year because baseball starts baseball.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: We got playoffs for both NBA if you're into that,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: or NHL coming up, Masters is coming up, et cetera.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: All those fun things that kind of make this time
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of the year great. NFL Draft, it's all right there
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: around the corner. We've made it through really the dark
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: days of January, February and early March. And on top
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of that, we got a baseball team that has the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: highest expectations they've ever had, to be honest with you,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: because they went deeper than they ever have, Game seven,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: eight outs away of getting to the World Series. All
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: those things kind of translate into yes Opening Day is special,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: special for me too. You mentioned your kid. My daughter
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: goes tonight, her and her boyfriend. They've gone for the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: last like five or six years. I think it is
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: much of the chagrin of my son, tough, you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you'll live, and I know, like she said, it's like
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: send me a text day, it's like Christmas Day. And
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: so to see my daughter have that same love for
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a sport and a day that you know many of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: us have is pretty cool too. So it's a special
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: day for all of us. Manners year number fifty. We
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: know what the Seahawks did in the fiftieth year. You
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: got next. There, we got now, you got next. It's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: up to you guys, now Mariners, who to hold up
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: your end of the barket?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: All right? So what does it mean all those things?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Molly Wap Monday, Just a quick catchup from from the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: last segment we did the other day, because I thought
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it was we did it Monday, go. We're gonna replay
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this on opening days. I think it's We've always had
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Chris and Nate down to Jimmy's the last few years.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I can't be there today because we're on early with
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the hockey today. But Nathan and Chris Mollywap Monday from
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Monday talking about expectations. The last season, the Seattle Mariners
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: were ninety and seventy two. They won the American League
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: West by a whopping three games. When it was all
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: said and done, they have the third best record in
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the American League, behind only Toronto and the Yankees with
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: those ninety wins, So ninety and seventy two last season,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: expectations for Nathan Bishop this year and we could even
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: start with higher or lower than ninety wins or just
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: look at division or bust.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Sure we can go lower I was saying earlier, I
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: said eighty nine and seventy three, so I'll be slightly
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: below ninety. The big thing that I am expecting this
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: year is, for the first time in franchise history, I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: expecting the Seattle Mariners to win back to back division titles,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: which would be honestly one of the greatest accomplishments in
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: franchise history, because with a one hundred and sixty two
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: game schedule, what you do in the regular season is
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: deeply meaningful in baseball. It's one of the things I
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: love about it. So I expect them to triumph in
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the American League West again this year. I'm also expecting
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: it to not feel quite as thrilling and overwhelmingly exciting
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: as it did last year, because I don't think that
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: they're going to be significantly better than they were last year,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: and I think right now there's this feeling of like
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: we expect the team to take kind of the next step.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Well, whether they take the next step.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Or not, in my opinion, is going to be determined
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: by what they end up doing in the postseason, which
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: is much more of a crap shoot, but it also
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: leads very nicely into us throwing an alley towards Chris
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: where he can now Sean kempet down, flying chickens in
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: the barnyard and.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Such well set up, Well set up, Chris, you don't
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: have expectations for people who missed it before.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Nope, Nope.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: I have demands, and my demand is that the Seattle
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Mariners go to the World Series. And I have to
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: be just completely honest with you, and this is going
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: to be a little bit Debbie Downer, and I apologize here.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: My demands aren't just based on the fact that I
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: think this roster is good enough to do it. My
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: demands are not just based on the fact that the
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Seattle Mariners said, run it back with the team that
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: was eight outs away from going to the World Series.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: My demands also are based on the fact that I
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: have a ninety six year old grandmother and I have
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: cirrhosis and a tumor in my brain. That has a
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: lot to do with my demands for the Seattle Mariners.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: I need to see this. My grandma needs to see this.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: As much as I am understand sustainability, as much as
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: I understand that they should not make decisions for me
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: and my grandmother. Uh yeah, yeah. I need to see it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: And if I don't see it, I'm gonna be either
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: looking up or looking down at the Seattle Mariners with
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: disdain in a few years. And I just need it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: I need it, and we've never done it. And you
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: saw what the town did. You saw this excitement from
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: the Seattle Seahawks winning that Super Bowl.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I was there.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: It was one of the greatest moments of my life.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: The Seattle Mariners winning the World Series. I love you,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Seattle Seahawks. Congratulations Jackson Smith and Jig Bick. Can I
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: borrow forty dollars? I this will claborate the Seattle Mariners
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: winning the World Series, will clabber the Seattle Seahawks. I'm sorry, man,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: This town, when baseball is at its best, is one
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: of the best baseball towns in the world. I need
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: to see it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You know why the one of the best baseball towns
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: in the world is because as they suffer for fifty years,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and they still keep coming back and they're still interest
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And that's why when we do this show, it's still
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: one of the most downloaded things on the radio station
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and people go back and listen to it because they
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they're manner fans people are. That's a great Chris. I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: think that's well said. Great and everyone has their reasons.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yours or are those? I think we all have those reasons.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I want to enjoy it with my kids
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and all those things I want that. Let me wrap
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it up with this. We always do this. We're not
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to do it in person on Thursday
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: just because of our schedule with hockey and stuff stuff
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: like that, but we always do this. Chris Crawford, Why
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: is Opening Day special?
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: It's the eternal optimism, right like it is the everybody's
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: got a shot, everybody's got a chance, and it's just
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: it's one of those days where you just kind of
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: ignore your troubles and you just focus on the fact.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: And the thing about Opening Day two is that at
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty two game season, so many things
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: can happen, right Like even the Colorado flip and rock Okay,
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: maybe not them, even the Pittsburgh Pirates can look at
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: their situation and say what if. And you can do
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: that with baseball more than any other sport. You can't
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: do that with the NFL, like Fernando Mendoza might be
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: the greatest quarterback prospect ever. You can't say what if
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: with the Las Vegas Raiders winning the Super Bowl. You
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: can't say what if with the the New Orleans Pelicans
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: winning the World Series or winning the NBA Championship. You
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: can't do that with these teams. You can't do that
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: with the Vancouver Canucks. Sorry guys for winning the Stanley
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Cup right now. You can kind of do it in
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: baseball because there's so much that can happen. You can't
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: help but dream. I did it every year as a kid.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: I knew the Seattle Mariners were flawed as hell. I
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: knew that there were so many better teams in the ALS,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: back when there were seven teams in there. Still treamed
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: about it and you had one hundred and sixty two games.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Opening Day is so special because it gives you a
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: chance to dream like a kid again.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Nathan, I don't remember what I've said.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: I probably have focused on my kid in the year's
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: past here and that's still very real. He's home for
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: a few more months before he's off to college in
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: the fall, and I think we're going to have a
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: really great time this year. His level of excitement for
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: baseball this year is unlike anything I've ever seen it personally.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I don't want to drift too far afield here, but
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: I'm finding things to be really challenging in a day
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: by day way in the world. And I don't think
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: that I'm really alone in that. I'm pretty confident that
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: I'm not alone in that. And there is something about
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: baseball that provides for people who are struggling with anxiety,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: who people are just having a hard time with their
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: day to day. I think one of the things that
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: makes the game so special is that it's daily, is
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: that it is a daily respite from whatever other thing
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: is going on. And yeah, it's the Seattle Mariners and
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: there's rim shots, and there's you know, Dylan Moore throwing
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: to an empty home plate. There's losing seven teen games
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: in a row in twenty twelve and it looked like
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: they were finally going to turn their corner. There's forty
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: nine years of not being in the World Series, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: you know what, I would take forty nine more without
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: a World Series. Chris, no affront to you and your demands.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to besmirch them. But I would take
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: forty nine more seasons without a World Series if I
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: just get one hundred and sixty two more games of baseball.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I get a summer where I can turn on the radio,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: or I can turn on whatever streaming app. I get
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: to find out Thursday morning that they're being streamed on,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: and I get to pay however much I have to pay,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: because that makes daily life easier for me. I'm just
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: going to call really quick, just a line from Paul Giamonti,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: who was the former Commissioner of Baseball, and he just
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: said that what he liked to do is he was
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: offloading more and more of the heavy lifting of his
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: day to the game of baseball. And that's how I
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: feel when Baseball season happens. I want the marriage to
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: win the freaking World Series, man, I want it every
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: single year. But I don't don't need them to win
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: the World Series because I have Baseball for the next
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: six months, and I have this show every single Monday,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: and honestly, in the midst of all the stuff that
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I'm finding so difficult to navigate on a day by
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: day basis, those little things stack up and they give
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: you a life worth holding on to. It's without being
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: too like over hyperbolic about it, but like, this stuff matters.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: These are the things that we are assigning meaning to.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: The Seattle Mariners are a center point of the rhythm
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: of my life. And then they're back in three days,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: and I'm just very grateful for it, and I'm grateful
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: for this show.

  Speaker 1: the line at the end, and there's a lot of
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: acrimony there. Don't let anybody fool you. They hate each other.

• 20:05
  Speaker 1: AP Offensive Player of the Year AP All Pro First
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Team Unanimous selection Pull Bowl. Yeah that seems like an afterthought,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: but yeah, he's a Pro Bowl. Of course you are
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: at that point. NFC Offensive Player of the Month for
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: October set a franchise record for most receptions in the season.

  Speaker 1: I can read these accolades for days on end. But
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: joining us right now on the Beacon Plumbing hotline number
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: eleven for your Seattle Seahawks, and maybe more importantly, because
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I think I know how he operates. Not just the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: highest paid wide receiver in the National Football League as
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of now, but more importantly, Super Bowl champion.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba joins us. How does that sound?
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: That sounds great. I appreciate the introduction. Thanks for having
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: me on.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you coming on. Listen. There's a lot to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: get to. We have a few minutes with you.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Let me start first and foremost with the contract and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: more importantly, the commitment. It's a commitment from two sides,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: from your side and from the Seahawks side. Financially, it
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: has to work. You have put yourself in that position.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: But let me just ask you simply this. You could
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: have waited, shopped around, played out the extra year option,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: be staying in Seattle.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: Why you know I've prayed on it, and I know
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: what's best for me. You know, I love being here.
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: I I'm just proud to be working with John and
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Mike and just what they're building here. You know it
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: fits me and this is my home and you know
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: I don't want to be anywhere else. So you know,
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: with that they sent over a great contract, like you said,
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: so said, why not and you know I'll be here.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Jackson, How important was it to be? And we know
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: these change, things change, They could change tomorrow with somebody
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: else signing. But at the time, I know you had
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: sent some stuff down in Texas about wanting to be
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: paid as the best receiver in the game, which last
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: year you were the best receiver in the game, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: there wasn't any question. I'm talking to you guys down
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in LA. So like, how important was how important was
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that to you?
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: It was important? I mean, you know, just just want
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: to do good business. And you know, I know I
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: know where I stand and you know what I deserve
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: and you know what makes sense for not only myself
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: but this organization as well. So you know it meant
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: it meant a lot to do good business and to
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: make sure you know, all sides are happy and you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: we move forward.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba joined us. All right, So the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: fact that it's over is that also a positive? No distractions.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: They got this done. Really, I say they your side,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: their side, It got done early. There was no drama.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, none of that stuff happened. That that's man,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: that's unheard of in this league. How important was that
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: to you to have that distraction?
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: No, it speaks volumes and you know, just gives me
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: some insurance if if I might say, some insurance to
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: just go out there and just you know, play. You
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: know I'm covered, and you know, I'm just ready to
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: take it to the next level. I mean, I feel
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: like this that's what allows me to do. And for
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: them to have the trust and the respect for me,
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: you know, means a lot and definitely just wants me
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: to be here even more so I appreciate that coming
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: from you know, both ends to.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Be able to play somewhere. You want to play, get
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: compensated like you want to, like you deserve to get compensated.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: That's that's sometimes a challenge. You've seen, You've seen guys
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: leave the locker room. It's just I think Ernest Jones
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: said it best after the Super Bowl. The hard thing
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: here is knowing that we're gonna look in this room.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Not everyone's going to be here. It's the old Super
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Bowl tax. They say, uh that you lose guys along
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the way, but there's all these guys left over when
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you look in that room. Maybe it starts with Mike McDonald,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: but maybe look in that room and tell me why
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: this organization is where it's at right now.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think really just the people that they have
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: in the building. You know, talent is one thing, but
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: you know it's bigger than that, and you know we
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: I feel like they bring in some really great dudes.
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: I have some great teammates that you know are not
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: just special football players, but special people. And you know
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: that makes you want to come into work every day
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: and give it your all, you know, from the top
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: to the bottom. And you know it's a special place.
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: So you know, that's what I would contribute.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: To a couple more moments with Jackson Smith and Jig.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: But Brian Fleur is a new offensive coordinator. Have you
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: met him? Talk to him?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: What? What what's your sense of what the new OC
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: is going to be about?
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we said hello, shake hands, talked a little bit,
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm excited just for new opportunities and you know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: to see the game plan and you know, just to
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: learn you know, who he is and what he's about.
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: You know, this is you know, my fourth OC you know.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: But we're excited to we're excited to you know, evolve
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: as players and as a team. And you know he's
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: going to contribute to that. So we're just we're just excited.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I totally forgot about that. That is it is you've had.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: This will be four oh season, four years in the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: league for you. That's that's crazy. I mean And what
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, first all, I gotta be happy for Clint, right,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, what a great job he did and.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: To get a head coaching job. Yeah, that's a transition.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Uh the quarterback and you had some incredible chemistry, which
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: is amazing because he rolls in. It's year one and
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it was instant. What is it about Sam that that
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you and him click?
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: So? Well?

  Speaker 7: I think the connection, you know, just grown since day one.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: And you know, his energy and what he brings to
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: the other thing, like I said, is something special and
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: something we can all follow. So he's a special player,
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: special guy.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: And you know.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: There's he's a He's he's our quarterback. There's no one
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: else that you know, I'd rather play with. And you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: he's just a baller. Like I said, you know, he
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: makes things right, you know, even when it's ugly. And
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: you know he's always continuing to grow, you know, as
• 26:24

  Speaker 1: There's a comedic element to it, like kid hitting the

  Speaker 1: you know, the rubber thing that the balls are, and

  Speaker 1: the ball just drops down and the kid runs to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: third base.

  Speaker 3: There's that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Then the kid that throws at the other kid instead
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: of throwing to the base, it takes forever. It's like,

  Speaker 1: remember baseball used to have that issue. They think they've
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: kind of resolved it right with long games. Yep, nothing's
