• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Night Excuse me. It's fan fest practice at lumen Field
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that I wrote about in the News Tribune. A story
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: on AJ Finley is a great story, and Mike McDonald's said,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: how can you not be incredibly happy for AJ Finley.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: He's now put himself right in the middle of a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: roster battle at safety and Special teams the Mariners. Will
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: they remove Dan Wilson as manager?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Should they?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Those are two very different matters when I.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Say that, will they or should they? Yeah, those are
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: definitely different matters.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I still think the accents on the wrong salable there.

  Speaker 5: I love that you say it that way. People will
• 5:02

  Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Joe.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: When you say it, it's like, that's the point.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Something's just go over people, says eleven o'clock. Anthony Bradford,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the starting right guard, did a lot of Seahawk fans
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: love to hate. It's kind of odd that a Super
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Bowl champion team has a player that people love to
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: hate online. But Anthony Bradford's him. I talked to him
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: on Friday after practice and it was a great interview.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I was so excited, and he talked about fans ripping him.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And you'll hear him at eleven o'clock. If you sign
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Anthony Bradford after practice Friday, signing autographs down an entire
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: row of fans, I mean, like forty yards worth of fans,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: while holding his three month old daughter in one arm,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: signing with the other. Maybe you wouldn't be so quite fast,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a boo. Those are their parents out there. Eleven thirty

• 6:07
  Speaker 2: what he's got going from twelve until three. I wanted
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to start the show today. Well, first question is do
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you think they should fire Dan Wilson or the problems
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: go way above him?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Do you think it even matter at this point?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Seven games under five hundred Tacoma Dutch text line four
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: nine four or five to one. We'll read those back
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: at eleventh three. I wanted to start the show today
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: tribute to a friend of mine. When I first started
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: in the NFL covering the NFL in two thousand and two,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the summer of two thousand and two, after a few years,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I was the beat writer for the Oakland A's and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: secondment'll be and I moved over to the Raiders, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: in the first at the end of the first training camp,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the Raiders cut a nine year linebacker by the name
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: of Greg Beakert. He'd been a star at the University
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: of Colorado, went to school with my wife.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: My wife knew him.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Greg Beggert and I hit it off really well when
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: we first when I first got on the beat because
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: of the Colorado connection, through my wife and they cut
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: him after nine years as a starter. The day they
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: cut him, he disappeared from practice and tried to avoid
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the beat reporters. They were watching the start of practice.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: He had an equipment guy get in his great Beaker's
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: red truck and drive it a couple miles away from
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the Raiders facility in Alan Meta, down by the Islant
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Met Ferry terminal to San Francisco, and my new friend,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Mike Wagaman, said Greg. He just pulled me aside, said Greg,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: let's let's go. I know where Beaker is, and we
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: jumped in his car and he's a late.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Made of Camaro. If I'm not mistaken, Oh, those are
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the good ones.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And he drove me to the Ferry doc where he
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: knew Greg Beaker was and Greg, we pulled up and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Greg Beaker was standing at the side of the road
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: his empty curb as the equipment man for the Raiders
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: was driving his truck to him so he could make
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: an escape outside the reporters, and Greg Beeker laughed and says, Wags,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you got me. Mike Wagaman had been governed a t
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: munger than I had.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Fast forward that we had a outstanding relation. Mike Wagaman
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and I.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Just a riet, always laughing, always joking, sitting in press
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: boxes across the country, traveling on planes. We came really close.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: For twenty five years, we've been friends. We've watched our
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: kids grow up. And a week ago I saw him
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl in February. Every time I did
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers, I go down for forty nine er game,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I see Mike Wagaman. We go out to dinner, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: it was awesome. It was just like this longtime friend.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Every time we saw each other, big hugs and smiles
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and laughs. You could not help but laugh around. Mike
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Wagaman and everyone in the Bay Area reporters in sports
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: media knew Mike Wagman and his cackling laugh. And then
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: last week he sent a picture of him golfing. He
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: had He was four years removed from brain surgery. He
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: had brain cancer and he beat it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Four years ago he had surgery. He was beating it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: He was back on the beats. He was covering as
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a freelancer for the Associated Press for NBC Sportsnet California,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: covering the Warriors, covering the Giants, covering he was the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a's in Sacramento, shar He was back what he loved
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to do, and he was beating it. And he sent
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: me a picture him golfing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: It was awesome. That was six days ago, and then Saturday.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Morning, I got a call that he died with fifty
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: nine years old, Mike Wagman passed away. I couldn't even sit.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I couldn't even stand. I was in a gym in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: north Gate and I had to sit down, and my
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: wife thought I was having some kind of physical something wrong.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Probably I couldn't stand. It was shocking because I thought
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: he beat it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Mike wagon passed away fifty nine years old. He left
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: his son, a son who just graduated from the UC
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Irvine univers California, Irvine, who found him. That's how everyone
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: learned that Mike Wagman had passed away. His son found
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: him in his home Friday night. So I just wanted
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: to shout out to Mike Wagaman and a reminder, as
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I always try to say, squeeze the ones love if
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: you're so fortunate to have the opportunity, because you just
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: never know it was. Yeah, I just want to say, hey,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the Wags and everybody down the Bay area that I've
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: been talking to people all weekend and it's been a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: tough weekend for them and for us.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: It was cool. Mike Wagman got me the Tim Brown store.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He told me he's he had one of his best
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: buds on the Raiders, happened to be the money guy
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: for al Davis. Oh, and he told me a.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Training camp in Napa a couple of years but the.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Matt Thomas who used to be at the Seattle the.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Raiders, Matt Thomas essentially, and he tipped off Wagonman that
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: they were going to cut Tim Brown, a decade long captain,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: this pillar of the team, one of al Davis's guys.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: And Wagonman told me, he said, I got tipped for it,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and here's who told me, and it's legit. And I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: asked around a little bit and I broke that story
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: for the Sacramento Bee. He didn't break it, he gave
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: it to me, and.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah he did.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And it ended up being the reason that I got
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to Seattle. The Associated Press hired me to be the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Seattle sports writer largely based on the fact that I
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: broke the Tim Brown story. The day after, and everyone
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: in Al Davis bitched me out and screamed at me
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and said I was wrong, and a day later they
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: cut him and he went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Tim Brown did me breaking that story for the Sacramento
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: b was because of Mike Wagaman and me. Breaking that
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: story is how I got the EP job in Seattle,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and that's how I came to Seattle, and that's why
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I've been here for twenty five years.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: So that's how much I like I love Mike Wagman. Yeah,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I'm just telling you if you got a.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Chance, I'm glad that you're being open about it. Yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: sometimes we need a little therapy session.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you get to this point in your life where
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: love and family and friends all that matter. Think you
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: have the money, you can have a job you want
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: do all. Ultimately, man, it doesn't matter.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: It's just about love, family and the people you want to.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Spend your time with. For us too, that's all that matters.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: All the other stuff is just noise.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Agreed, it's.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Seahawks in coming on of the node. Kozla waited in
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: this weekend on social media when a fan asked him
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: directly on social media if moom and Field can get
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: World Cup ass back as in full time like Seahawks
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: founders play on grass forever.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Did you see this?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of odd that he would take
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: that because he is not publicly that none of the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Cosla fame, not his wife, not his son.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Have I didn't even know he had a Twitter account, right, I've.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Been following him on Twitter, but he wasn't posting anything
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: about the Seahawks. In fact, they aren't allowed to be
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: in the facility or do anything Seahawks related until.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: The sale goes through.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Not just gets voted on August twenty sixth in Atlanta,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: but then the money has to go through. The nine
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: point six billion dollars is not just you know, that's
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: going to take a little bit. So they are prohibited
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: from doing anything Seahawks related. But this is the first
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: time he's commented about anything Seahawk created, other than the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: canned statement that the team put out after the sale
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: agreement that said we can't wait to further the legacy
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: of the Seahawks. So Cozal uses this. Fans questioned about
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the grass to be really the first time he's talked
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: about anything team related, and Vanoczla, a new incoming owner
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: of the Seahawks, said quote online on his Twitter account
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: about having Grass full time in womenfield. Quote, I'd defer
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: to people at the Seahawks who know better than me
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the team that got us the Super Bowl.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Well, it's technically nearer as actually the owner.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: The principal owner.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, the the yes, the husband's the money guy, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the son is the one who's probably going to be
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the yes, the absolutely operating day to day because he's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: younger and will probably be the longer term face manager.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: But Yes.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: When he responded, it was just so funny because it
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: was just a random fan, you know. I was like,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: good for you, all right, Cols, Like and it's not
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: like frantically tweeting or anything like your Elon's or anything
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: like that, but just one one response.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But it is indicative to what they're how they're thinking
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: coming into this.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: We trust this organization to do what's best, and we
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: will give them the resources, which is what I feel.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: We'll give them the resources to do what they know
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: better than us.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yep.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And it also suggests that maybe Chuck Arnold, the president
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of the team, may be okay and that he's going
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: to keep that team intact. That the Kosalers won't change
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the president or the business side because that grass thing
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: is a business decision. The players wanted for health and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: safety and welfare and long term happiness on their legs,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: but it's a business decision. The fact that they have
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: turf is a business decision. We've talked about this all
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: multiple times. The fact that they can have events and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: not have to spend the money on ripping up grass
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and reinstalling grass, and they can have concerts and monster
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: truck pools and dirt bike races, all that stuff on
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Lumenfield is that's why it's a business decision. So him
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: saying well, I'm just gonna leave that to the folks
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: who make that decision, that to me is a signal
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: that the business operation, the president's side, the money side
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: of the Seahawks, is going to stay largely intact or
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: at least untouched.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: And I would think so we'll see. Yeah, I know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: it's funny. It's just like one simple tweet that you
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: see in response to a fan.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but it tells you.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But it's a lot. That's all we have to go
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: on because that's all he said anything publicly, I know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: And I.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Wonder if you know he thinks about anything like that
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: where you know, Okay, I'll say one thing, probably I
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: would think, not just considering the person he responded to
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: was a Seahawks fan and just asking about that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: But I think that that statement says a lot about
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: what this ownership group is going to do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I think it is true. I think it's indicative, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: he's he's smart enough to know that's going to get
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: picked up.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Und Oh yeah, that wasn't necessarily an innocuous tweet, which
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: which is why I was saying, he's not Twitter fingers guy.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: No, So I think he was sending a message of
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: status quo, which is what I think Seahawks fans want
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: to hear from the new incoming owners.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: And you just won the Super Bowl exactly.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, again, this is an unprecedented situation nine point six
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: billion dollars, second highest ever, the largest in NFL history.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Not only that, it ain't very common for a Super
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Bowl champion to get sold in the months after they
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: won at all.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Well, the situation was uncommon to start with.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, but yes, yeah, it is.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: You know, some of these have been forced in professional
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: sports as a whole. Some of them have been.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Forced for bad reasons, and some of them have been
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: passed down, and then you know there's something like that.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I loved what Jody Allen did after Paul Allen passed away.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I thought she did exactly what the Coastal has seemed
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: to be about to do.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Sixteen days until the NFL meeting in Atlanta, of all
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the team owners, they need twenty four yes votes for
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the ratify the Seahawks sale agreement, and there is no
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: indication that it might not even be unanimous. That it
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: will be passed and the Seahawks will be sold to
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the Coaslal family well in advance a couple weeks in
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: advance of the season open to September ninth against New
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: England at Womenfield. Up next Atlomenfield Saturday night. The Seahawks
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: are back on the turf for the first time since
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: they celebrated their Super Bowl championship in mid February, and
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: aj Finley was the star. You'll hear from the safety
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: who's had quite a ride the last twelve months. Next
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: on ninety three point three KJRFF.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Welcome back sounds like the beginning of a Nelly song.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Yes, I was thinking, yes, if you want to go
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: and take a ride with me.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Greg Ball, Jessman McIntyre, Travis moogerback Seahawks Training Camp, Day fourteen,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the fourteenth practice of training camp. The thirteenth practice of
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: training camp was at Loumenfield Saturday night, and AJ Finley
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: was the star. He intercepted it pass from Sam Donald
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: that was thrown right to him because Jackson Smith and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Jigbo was coming out of an route break and he
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: just fell down. It was during an overtime simulation scrimmage
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: early in the practice. It was with fans at lumen
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Field and Donald threw the pass right to Finley.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: He took it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: He went to the other end zone and he had
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the whole defensive gang running with him, celebrating in the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: end zone, and then when they got to the sideline,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: it looked like to see how had won the Super
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Bowl again around AJ Finley. And that's because everybody on
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: the team knew that. Twelve months almost to the day earlier,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: at the same event, AJ Finley had torn the interior
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: a cruciate ligament in his knee and he was out
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: for the year. This time last year, he was bidding
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to get time as a backup safety and make the
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: team on special teams. Mike McDonald talked about that against Saturday,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: how much he was in the mix, then when he
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: got hurt, and then he was injured for the entire
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: he missed the whole season. When NFL teams, when guys
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: get those type of long rehabs, the NFL Players Association
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: has negotiated that you aren't mandatory. You can't You don't
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: have to be told you have to stay in a
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: team facility. You can go back to your A lot
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: of guys go back to their colleges where they used
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to be and they trust medical personnel and trainers, or
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: they'll go to the people in their hometown or and
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: they'll be under the guys of the team, but they're
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: not in the team facility or training room every day.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: You don't have to be well, aj Finley was, he
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: stayed here even though he's from the Off East, he
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: stayed here the entire twelve months during the season. He
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: said he made it a point to come out to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: practice twice a day to be feel like he was
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: a part of the team. He stayed all off season rehabit. Well,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: now he's back, and Mike McDonald's saying after Saturday's performance,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: he's right in the middle of it again where he
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: was picking up where he left off last year. This
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: is aj Finley, the Safety, the fourth year of safety
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: on ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: It really didn't hit me into it, Like I got
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: through the sideline and all the boys were congratulating me.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: It's definitely a full circle moment.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: Just sticking to the process and taking the day to
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: day and honestly, it's been it's.
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: Been a hell of a ride.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: But I got a lot of good people in my circle,
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: my wife, my family. Honestly being here, I stayed here
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: with the team last year and that it honestly helped
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: me a lot. So yeah, it's been a great it's
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: a great, great experience yourself.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Through the process of rehabbing back for that dream.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: I'll say, like, I honestly put my if I feel
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: like if I put my mind to anything, man, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: feel like I can go do it. So honestly, like
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: just trusting myself of coming in putting the work in.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Like obviously it's a long process and it's it's it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: tough on the brain, but if you if you put
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: your mind to it, I feel like you do it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: I feel like I did that really well after a year.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Or feel like most people who were celebrating with you
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: understood the connection.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, last year, there was a lot of people that
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: were saying they didn't want to say anything to me
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: before practice with everybody obviously knew, and a lot of
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: people that came up to me and they're like, man,
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: the year later, you come back and you get a pick,
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: that's that's so special, like there's nothing but God, And
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: honestly it is, so I really appreciate it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: Thank God for being in this situation.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: What was that like last year?
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: Like having an injury coming down and in the practice,
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: I play with your brain just the immediate aftermaths of it,
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: like you probably know immediately what's happening. And to now
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: have this year earlier when it happened, I was I mean,
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: I went through every emotion you can imagine, honestly, like you,
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: I feel like you put in so much work and
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: then it's just taken away from you like that. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: I feel like what I did very well is I
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: dealt with it so ass to where like the next
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: week when I came back in for treatment, I was
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: like I was already over it, So I was like,
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: I was ready to put my best foot forward every day.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: So getting over it pretty fast was the best thing
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: How did you get over the leak?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: What did you get?
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: How did you pass that?
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Honestly?
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: Like I I was, I'm a very so what I
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: had a trend coach in uh college?
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Tell me so what now? What?
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: So, no matter what happens to you, like, you gotta
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: you gotta fight back and you gotta adjust.
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: So I feel like that's what I did.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Will some love? You said you stayed here to rehab?
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, what was that?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I mean something some guys go home, some guys do
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: it here.
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: What's the what was the decision like that?
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: I mean they asked me to stay, so I was
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: obviously gonna stay. So yeah, they asked me to stay,
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: and I just stayed up here and did my rehab.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Well, some guys coming off in a jury maybe how
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: hard time planning with the new team for RS to
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: want to resign you or lad in the offseason?
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: What that mean to? I mean?
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: It was special?
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: Uh obviously like a lot of guys, especially in my position,
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: like you don't come back a lot from ACLS like that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: So honestly, it meant a lot knowing that I put
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: in the work and they saw the work that I
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: put in. So I feel like that's what helped me
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: get back in this situation.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I think your fellow safetechnick covers from the intry, have
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: you given him any advice throughout your process from the access?
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: I just tell him to keep working, like honestly, like I,
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: it's it's you can take it step by step and
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: if you just keep going, like you're gonna come back
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: better than you were.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: So I feel like that's what I've been telling him.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Supposed Jack Howard, can you just talk about his communications
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: style and then.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: How he's just yeh uh he's been I had him
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: in LA So. He was a linebackers coach when I
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: was in LA. So I've known him for about four
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: years now, and Uh, he's a stickler about communication. Uh,
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: That's that's what I feel like. That's what our room
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: does at a really high level. Like everybody in our
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: room can communicate at a really high level. And that's
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: that's what he preaches to us. And if you can't communicate,
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: you're not gonna be on the field. So I feel
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: like that's what he's a stickler about.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: And where do you feel like, where do you feel
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: like you are like helpful game right now a year
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: from this getting back in I'm.
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: One hundred percent health.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: I'm obviously still not some dust off with a little
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: few things like I'm not I'm nowhere near where I
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: want to be, but my my body is one hundred percent.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: I'm just trying to get the mental part back back down.
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: If you did the safety and it seems like there's
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: a lot of competition in the back safety, where do
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: you feel like you fit in it? And kind of
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: went to I'm just I'm just here to do whatever
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: I need to do to get on the field, whatever
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: that means, whether it's a mentor to anybody, where I'm
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: on the field on special teams, playing like, I don't
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: care what it is.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: I just want to be in the building.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: When you were pretty.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Happy last year and you were talking ball with your teammates, said,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: when you weren't prehappy and you were talking ballved with
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: your teammates last year, who just spent.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: The most time talking Ah, that's tough. I mean, I'm
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: I'm the type of guy like I'm cool with everybody
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: on the team, uh, pretty much everybody in the DV
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: room that was our DV room master was so tight,
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: like it was you can go up and talk to anybody,
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: like from anybody to the top guy like Spoons, to
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: anybody you want to talk about. But I feel like
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: I feel like I got me and Todd like because
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: me and to kind of have similar stories like both
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: on drafted free agents, like when I first got here
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: from LA like we kind to hit it off. So
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: just honestly, honestly seeing thy last year was it was
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: really impressive, like him going in and competing at a
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: high level. I love to see that Veratie and uh yeah,
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: I'll probably say Tie kind of kind of shout.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: You got after a practice here?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: What would that mean to have your head.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Coach kind of single?
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: It's so cool like to see to see that he
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: has seen the work that I put in honestly means
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: a lot, especially coming from where I am, coming from
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: where I came from last year, Like it's it's been
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: a long, long process and just seeing that that work
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: has come to light, it's it's amazing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I think you drafted what did you? What are you
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: even see him from Tory Foster after camp.
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: That guy is electric.
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: He he it feels like he makes it play almost
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: every day, but he's definitely putting a lot of good
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: stuff on tape.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Did you were.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: You able to still feel like you were a part
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: of this ul throughout last year sitting on the background and.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Kind of having to do your thing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: That's what That's what I tried to do the most, like,
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: because I feel like if I tried to do the
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: process on my own, it would have probably been a
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: hard process.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: So that's why I stayed in the building. I even
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: went out to practice sometimes.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Like it was.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: I probably tried to make it at least two practice
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: a week so I would still feel like I'm a
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: part of the team. So I didn't feel like I
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: was in the background in the dark, like doing this
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: all by myself.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: So I feel like that was probably the biggest.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Part, he said, aspect of something that you're still trying
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: to get over.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: No, it's not trusting my body, honestly, trusting my eyes.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: Like I'm like all over the body, like I feel
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: good about my body, but it's just like seeing certain
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: things and reading and reacting and stuff. I feel like
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: I still got to a list of tabbit I'm almost there,
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: but I still got a tabit to do.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: What the intercept?
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: So we were in quarters.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: Uh Jackson was running over and I cleared the posts
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: and then came down the over and I just honestly
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: didn't know.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: I say I was gonna throw the ball. I was
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: shocked through through it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: He usually don't make those mistakes, but uh, yeah, I
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: came down to the over and intercepted.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was Saturday night. A. J. Finley said he
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: couldn't believe Darnald threw him the ball. He threw it
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: right to him, but it was because Smith and Jib
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: had fallen down cutting.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: But he still did.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah's point was it was like, wow, believe you do it.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: But that's the kind of story, in the kind of
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: dedication to team that Mike McDonald loves. Okay, you blew
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: out your knee, you devastated. You heard him talk about
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the strength coach. That was the strength throats that he had,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: the strength coach who told him that get up and
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: move on. So what what's next? That was a strength coach,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Wilson Love, that AJ Finley had at a University of Mississippi.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Wilson Love is now the head strength coach for the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: football team at Oregon. He'd since had moved since AJ
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Finley was at Mississippi, but he credits him for having
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: the mentality to just get over it, and then he
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: just stayed here and did all his rehab here and
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: was part of the practice and part of the team meetings,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: and was at the Super Bowl and all of that.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: And McDonald really appreciated how committed AJ Finley was to
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks program, but just staying here and rehabbing the
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: whole time. And that's why Mike McDonald at the end
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: of my story that's up at the newstreaming dot com
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: saying how could you not be incredibly happy for AJ Finley,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: McDonald said, right back in the thick of.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Everything, for you know, it reminds me it has notes
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: of Pete Carroll on it too, because he was definitely
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: a reclamation guy. And I I don't know Mike McDonald
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: as well as you know watching what Pete Carroll did
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: for as long as he did, but I feel like
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: that is almost becoming a Seattle tradition of you know,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: you're not done, You're not done just because someone else
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: said you are, right. Yeah, And I and I love
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: that about this team.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Aj Finley made the point of win a position that
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: he was in as a backup, bottom guy on the roster.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: They often don't get another chance, they get cut in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: situations like that, and he appreciates the Seahawks for sticking
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: with him too, which is poor in a practical sense,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: was probably part of the reason he stayed here and
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: did his workouts and rehabit the Seahawks facility.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, look at your interview with Montori Foster, like
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: that he was substitute teaching.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: You know, yeah, he was. You know, he was quote
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: unquote what you could be called done, but he didn't.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: All these feel good stories is what makes the Terry
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: on Arnold situation so different.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: That is more of a Pete you talk about reclamation projects, Pete.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Carroll would hire would do this. That would be no question.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Nobody would be surprised at all that the Seahawks would
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: be under Pete Carroll pursuing Terry on Arnold because he's
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: a former first round pick. This to me does not
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: strike me as a Mike McDonald move for culture, for
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: in the locker room, but it is a reminder that
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: football wins, and if you've got a guy who's a
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: former first round pick with that kind of talent at
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: that position cornerback, which is so vital to football today
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: for how much teams throw, and the prospect that if
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: he's exonerated, the Seahawks want to be in the front
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: of the line, on the inside track to getting Arnold
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and have two first round picks in the secondary. So,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: as I told Chuck this morning, if the Seahawks have
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: John Schneider and his staff have to have some information
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: beyond what has been published and known that Lee toward
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Terry and Arnold being.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Exonerated in Florida or else.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: To me, that doesn't make any sense to pursue a
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: guy who's facing eight felony charges and perhaps life in prison.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: That the Lions cut them. They just said nope, you're
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: done and said first round pick, starter done. Cut.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: And that's why he's a free agent.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: That's why he's.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Available for teams to talk to.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: But he had to post one million dollars in bond
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: to even be able to get away from jail to
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: go visit these teams. That to me seems an anti
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald move.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they must know also when other people
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: are picking up the phone and making those calls too,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: like you said, just like be on the waiting list.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: I guess to see.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's it's funny when all these rumors
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: come out of Oh, they're taking calls on this guy,
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: they're taking calls on that guy. Like John Schneier has
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: been very open about I'll always pick up the phone.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: That doesn't mean this guy's on the trading.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Block and on.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Everything is what he says, and he thinks it's due diligence.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: And it looked like due diligence the first time they
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: visited with him, but the second time to me, seems
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: to me that they're trying to get an inside track,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: believing that he'll be exonerated of.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: These Yeah, I mean, but yeah, I guess.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: There's just certain incidents that have seemed to caught John
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Schneider by surprise with certain draft picks in the past.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: This reminds me of Quintin Dunbar. I lived through that,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: and I dealt with a Roward County floor to prosecutor
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the whole time they were signing and the whole time
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: that Dunbar was playing here that failed. I was here
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: the night that they drafted Frank Clark. That was, which
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: was months after the general manager John Schnyder said we
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: will never draft or deal with a player who's had
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: a domestic violence passed, and he did. He drafted him
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: in the second round months after Clark was kicked off
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: the Michigan out of the Michigan program for it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Became alleged, it became a prosecuted and that they ended
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: up settling that case in Sandusky, Ohio for.
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: And it is.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: So we've been down this road before. We just haven't
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: been down this road with Mike McDonald before. That would
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: be a departure. But again we're getting way ahead of her.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: So they aren't signing him yet, but they are trying
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: to get in line to sign him if he is exonerated,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: because then, like I said, football wins a former first round.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: You could pair two first round picks in your secondary
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: and have your two starting corners be first round picks.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, at this point, I'm looking at it as
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: due diligence, just due diligence, and that's that's yeah.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Four nine under the COMA Dodgs text line your belief
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: and feelings about this situation. The Seahawks interest in Terry
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: On Arnold, are you black and white?
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Forget it?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: This isn't a guy with went robbery, burglary, allegedly enacting
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: revenge on allegedly being robbed of one hundred thousand dollars
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: in luxury items and one hundred thousand dollars in cash
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: plus added value of luxury at that he believes three
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: men stole from him in Tampa, Florida, and then that
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: he prosecutors alleged that Terry On Arnold then orchestrated the
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: abduction and beating of those three men, and the prosecutors
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: in Florida say that he got the wrong guys, and
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: then he's there, He's wrong. It's mistaken that that this
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: even happened, which is why he's being charge with eight
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: felony counts of burglary and kidnapping. That's the Terry On
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Arnold's situation in the meantime, because he posted a million
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: dollar bond.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: He's a free agent.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: He's visiting with the New Orleans Saints today after reportedly
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: being here at Seahawks facility in Renton yesterday for a
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: second free agent hysit four nine four five one your
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: feelings on that? And it just to me, strikes me
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: as not a Mike McDonald type move, although it is the.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Interest is you mess.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Yes, but not it's not a move.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: It would not be a no conditional, would not be
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: a move so far. But if he's exonerated, John Schneider
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: would say, it's my responsibilit need.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: To be in on this.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Like you sound, football wins, and we've seen it time
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: and time again in the NFL too. We've seen it
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: in multiple professional sports, to be honest, and the sport
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: wins every single time. It would be very interesting to
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: dig into that case once we learn more details, because
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: that is quite the tail.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: It is quite the tail.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: When it happened, it was shocking and that's why the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Lion's cutting so just boom done and they didn't have
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: any Gray Dan Campbell and his Lions just cut him.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: And now he's reportedly visited the Seahawks for the second time.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Up next, the other matter that all of you want
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: to talk about, it's a Mariner's off day before they
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: play tomorrow in Yankee Stadium. There's seven games under five hundred,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the low arter mark of the entire season. Inexplicably, they're
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: just four games back. In a future day of the last.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Should they fire Dan Wilson the manager? That seems to
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: be topic du jor, it's been topic two month, But
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's a bigger systemic problem
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: that goes two and three rungs above Dan Wilson, starting
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: with Jerry Depoto. We'll talk about that next eleven o'clock.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Anthony Bradford, the Seahawk you love to hate. You'll hear
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: from him, and I don't know, maybe you won't hate
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: him as much. It was really good.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: It's amazing.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, I get where fans are coming from from
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: a football perspective, but don't hate too hard.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: He married his grade schools not high school, grade school
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: sweetheart from Muskegon, Michigan. They had three months ago their
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: first child, a baby girl who he is over the
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: moon about. You'll hear from Anthony Bradford at eleven o'clock.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: You're texting talkbacks at eleven thirty All from Seahawks training

• 35:50
  Speaker 2: If you listen to the first part of the show,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: right after headlines, how did I get the Tim Brown
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: story that I wrote for the Sacramento be the National
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: scoop on the Raiders cutting their captain Tim Brown back
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: in the day of two thousand and five. I think

  Speaker 4: Yes, if you want to go to the Bowing Classic,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: which is so fun and I mean it's like the
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: greatest Pacific Northwest golf legends and it's at Snoqualmi Bridge,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: which is just a fabulous place to watch a little golf.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: They should call it the Fred Couple's Invitation.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, Bridy's there, a man, he's just the best. Yeah,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: but it's Golf Hall of Famers who will be out there,
• 36:38

• 36:50
  Speaker 4: the correct answer with your first and last name and
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: your email address and we'll get you a pair of tickets.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: How I got the Tim Brown scoop back in the
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: day that the Raiders are cutting their captain on a
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: friend of mine from the top of the show Boing Classic,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: The sponsor of the KGRS wall to wall coverage of Seahawks'
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: training camp. I know what else you're thinking about. In Seattle,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: in the Pacific Northwest, the Mariners have an off day
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: to day traditionally when they make seismic moves. Sports teams,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: especially baseball teams in a long season, makes seismic moves
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: on off days. Well, the fans want Dan Wilson fired.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: it's gonna happen because Jerry to Poto has the man
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: that he handpicked to be in that spot, the man
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: who will say yes to whatever Jerry to Poto and
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Justin Hollander want him to do. With the iPads, with
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: the handedness, with the analytics, with whatever six man rotation,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Rob Refschneider, as soon as the left tender comes in
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: the game. All of it was handpicked by a manager
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: who had no previous managerial experience at any level, just
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: like Scott Servis had no previous managerial experience at any level.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: There's a reason that that has happened back to back
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: managers for the last eleven years in this town. Because
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: for eleven years, Jerry Depoto has been the president of
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: baseball Operations and before that the general manager. And that's
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: where I think the buck starts and stops to this
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: team and his problems. I was sitting there Friday night
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: with my son. We were watching the game behind third base,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: and when it was such a juxposition seventh innning ends strikeouts,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: the Mariners blow a golden chance to get back in
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: They trail to nothing.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: It starts with cold Emerson, two on, nobody out, A
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: one ninety rookie in the nine spot. Butt him, please
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: and get the runners over so you can get Taylor
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Ward up with two men on and one out. Nope,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: he's swinging away and he strikes out.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: And so goes the inning.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: The adding ends booze, I mean louder booze than I've
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: heard in that stadium. In a bit from forty thousand
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: people cue the hot Dogs from Heaven here they come.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I know it's predetermined, Okay, at the end of the
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: seventh inning, we're gonna do this or whatever ending they
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: decide to do it on these weekend games. And I
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: looked up and there are three hot dogs from Heaven
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: with their parachutes that got stuck on the guy wire,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: the wire that controls that third base side camera, you know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: the one that goes on a string up and down
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: the left field. Three hot dogs got stuck on there.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Oh and I just looked up and it was like
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: a metaphor for the entire season. Oh here we are.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: The park is booing. Then they start the announcement of
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: hot dogs from Heaven. And the crowdy reps and everybody
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: who's this there for bobbleheads and fireworks and hot dogs
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: from Heaven and the home run derby after game are
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: loving it. And three of them get stuck on the
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: wire and they're above our head for the rest.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Of the game.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: I thought some kid's gonna throw his glove up there
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: and try to knock him down. Nobody ever did. The
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Mariner's mascot, the Moose, came over and looked like he
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: was pretending to jump to try to pull him down.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Of course he couldn't do that. I mean twenty five
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: feet above the head.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Like I said, that's fun. You gotta improvise sometimes when
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: things happen.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I was just looking at this one. This is the
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: problem with his franchise. Forty thousand people are in the park.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Love these hot dogs from heaven while the baseball product
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: is absolutely broken and the offense is absolutely broken.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: And I like it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: To my son, I said, you know what this is like, Eric,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: This is like going to a car dealership, a local
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: car dealership that you absolutely love.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: You love the people, you love the salesmanship.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: You love the how beautifully clean and immaculate the floor.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: You love that they give you hot chocolate and coffee
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: when you walk in, and maybe some donuts. You love
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the service and the smile, the down home feeling when
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: you go to the car dealer. But the cars absolutely suck,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: like the worst cars in the history of the earth.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: So you're basically saying the lemons, Yeah, like a you go.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: So they have all this other stuff to get you
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: in the door, and when you're in the door, you're
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: so comfortable when you're enjoying the experience, but the actual
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: product that you're there for, the car sucks. That's what
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: the Mariners are right now. They're a car dealership that
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: sells sucking cars.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: They have everything else.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: They're going coffee, the cold water exactly.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: All the amenities that make you want to be there,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: and a great experience of being in the dealership. But
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: the damn product you're there to buy and pay for sucks.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: And that's where they are right now, seven games under
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: five hundred and a division that is one of the
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: worst in the baseball history that they should be absolutely
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: boat racing in front of And as I mentioned earlier,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: the buck start and stops at the top because you
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Rob Reschneider was not Dan Wilson.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: The six man rotation was not Dan Wilson.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: The decisions they made on we're going to do exit
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: velos and launch angles as our offensive philosophy, not just
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: at at Seattle, but from high a effort all the
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: way up. That's not Dan Wilson's decision. To me, that's
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: where it starts. And you could fire the manager to try,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: you a desperate way to try to get a spark.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I don't see it happening. They got there, yes, man,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: but what he's saying yes to isn't working. And that's
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: to me, the systemic problem with the marinon four nine,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: four or fivet one. Your opinions on this, your opinions
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: on whether you want Dan Wilson hired, or whether the
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: problems are so much more higher, much much higher than
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: it's the car dealership to set that show.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: It's just so hard to determine. It's just so hard
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: to fifty years determined fifty years.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: The boat has had eleven years to do this, and
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: now he's got a World Series quality pitch at which,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: to his credit, he built, which he drafted, which he farmed,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: which he developed. I will absolutely credit him for that,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: and I have and most of the baseball has but
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: eleven years and fifty years on top of that, and
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: here they are only four games out. That's the crazy thing,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: only four games out. Look at this and for Ness
• 42:38

  Speaker 3: Do you know how this business works? Do you feel
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: like you are you have to prove it?
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Or this year is another proved year for you?
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Is that how you take it? I mean I feel
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: like every year in the league you got to prove
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: yourself while you belong. You know what I'm saying.
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: I know, for people outside of the building, it's kind
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: of hard for them to understand why I am in
• 50:01
  Speaker 10: the place that I am. But people in the building
• 50:04
  Speaker 10: and me and myself understand why I'm in the place
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: I am. It's because we all, like I said, we
• 50:09
  Speaker 10: all come here and work every day, and that's on
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: my mind every day, just to work, be where I'm
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: at and do my job, just so you know, I
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: can put myself in the best position.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: That I can. You know what I'm saying. You say
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: people in the building understand? Have they told you? Do
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: you get feedback like that. It's a business where maybe
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: you don't hear when you're doing well, but.
• 50:27
  Speaker 10: I mean it's like confirmation, Like you know what I'm saying,
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: Like you do something good on the field, just then
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: you get confirmation from your coach and just like as
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: long as you stay on your on your task and
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: like you know, you're not in anybody's bad grace and
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: stuff like that, it's pretty good to me. So what
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: has John Benton done for you personally in your career?
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: I feel like he's done a lot. Bro Like just
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: the past, the past year and some that I've been
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: with him. Uh, he just made me into a better player,
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: like just holding myself accountable for different stuff like a
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: bad block, you know what I'm saying, holding myself accountable
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: for that and then knowing that like this played next
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: play mindset. You know what I'm saying. Just old line
• 51:03
  Speaker 10: is a gritty mud position. And I feel like John
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: benn is the best coach just to get you ready
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: for that, like all the guys in the run through
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: a wall for him, you know what I'm saying. I
• 51:12
  Speaker 10: feel like he just build me into a better man,
• 51:14
  Speaker 10: build me into a better player. It's a great coach,
• 51:17
  Speaker 10: great online coach.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: When you got word enter around the Super Bowl that
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Klint Kubiak was leaving, were you in the offensive lineman
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: lobby and John Benton to stage you even have discussions
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: for her.
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: We didn't have any discussions with him, but we were
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: messing with him a little bit for so like, please
• 51:31
  Speaker 10: don't leave it man, please because you know JB.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like nobody else deserve JB. Man for us,
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: for us man.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: How much did just focusing on the outside zone last
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: help you? And maybe the whole line because the year
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: before you did everything. You were doing gap scheme, you
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: were blocking, pull your inside outside and then Benton comes in.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: It's coach Benton's we're outside zone. We might switch for
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: a game plan, but we're outside zone. How much did
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: that help you?
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: It helped me a lot with my game because it's
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: just like me being a big guy and playing on
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: the inside and just getting my feet running and going
• 52:04
  Speaker 10: on those angles and able to cut guys off and
• 52:06
  Speaker 10: like kind of cut off like split the defense and
• 52:08
  Speaker 10: stuff like it's pretty hard for an old lineman, especially
• 52:11
  Speaker 10: for myself that I'm kind of like heavier and stuff.
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: So just working on it and working on it and
• 52:15
  Speaker 10: working on it and just becoming the habit for it
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: for that's what that's what he made it for, is
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: is a habit. So yeah, we he just stressed that
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: over like the off seasons and stuff, and like we're
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: gonna get good at this. This is us and if
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: you basically if you can't can't get with it and
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: get left, you know what I'm saying.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: So that's how it is.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Did you have to change the way you prepared for
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: the season and train because it's a more lateral movement often, Uh.
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: Not really like just really just conditioning, to be honest,
• 52:40
  Speaker 10: just being able to go on those long drives, being
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: able to just sustain blots for a long period of time. Yeah,
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: because I feel like I'm a very nimble for my side,
• 52:49
  Speaker 10: I'm very nimble in like an athletic and stuff.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: I can use my feet.
• 52:52
  Speaker 10: It just as far as like conditioning and being able
• 52:55
  Speaker 10: to sustain those long drives and stuff. That's all I
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: really was worried about.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: You're twenty something. You know the world we live in
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: with internet clips and Twitter and Instagram, and you're laughing
• 53:06

• 53:23
  Speaker 3: It's pretty It's funny to me, Like, I ain't gonna
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: lie to you.
• 53:26
  Speaker 10: The first time that, like the first few videos that
• 53:29
  Speaker 10: I was like right across from people that showed me,
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: I was like, damn, Like people were really taking their
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: time out of the day to like go do this
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: to this and for me, and I'm like, man, that's
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: kind of But then I was like, hey, it's kind
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: of funny to be honest, Like you know, it's just like, hey,
• 53:42
  Speaker 10: give me a little different like outside of like, hey,
• 53:45
  Speaker 10: I got beat on this, this is what I need
• 53:46
  Speaker 10: to do. It's kind of like double film. You know
• 53:48
  Speaker 10: what I'm saying, Double film, you know what I'm saying.
• 53:51
  Speaker 10: So it's pretty funny to me. I don't really let
• 53:53
  Speaker 10: it get to me. Yeah, I see everything though, Okay,
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: be warrened.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Anthony Bradford starting right guard for the seahawksers with US
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: in ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: You've been here now.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Four offensive coordinators in four years, and if you count LSU,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: I guess it's five and five year. Did you have
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: two in your last two LSU years?
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Yep? Six six different offensive codas six years. Yeah, three
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: offensive line coaches in four years, which is why you
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: big that John Betton came back. How have you How
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: different has that been? How hard is that for an
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: offensive lineman that you got a new coordinator and play
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: caller six years in a row.
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: I just gotta have your head on your shoulders. Man,
• 54:35
  Speaker 10: just a lot of thinking, you know what I'm saying,
• 54:36
  Speaker 10: Like just new schemes every year. It's kind of difficult because,
• 54:40
  Speaker 10: like you know, of course, when people want to go
• 54:42
  Speaker 10: into the off season just feel comfortable with the playbook
• 54:44
  Speaker 10: and not really having to worry about it through the
• 54:46
  Speaker 10: off season so when you get back you can kind
• 54:48
  Speaker 10: of be in shape and just get the rolling. But
• 54:51
  Speaker 10: having new coordinators every year is kind of like, dang,
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: now I gotta train and I gotta get my hand
• 54:56
  Speaker 10: in the playbook extra extra hard, you know what I'm saying,
• 54:58
  Speaker 10: Just to come back and not be behind the ball
• 55:00
  Speaker 10: and and not be late on like cars and like
• 55:04
  Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying, like just be ahead of
• 55:05
  Speaker 10: the playbook. So it's been pretty cool, Like this is
• 55:08
  Speaker 10: the part, Like I said, this has been the smoothest
• 55:10
  Speaker 10: year for me in about five years. So just having
• 55:13
  Speaker 10: the same kind of like scheme back to back years
• 55:15
  Speaker 10: and the same on wine coach and stuff.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: So this this feels great. So Brian fleuryes, well, he
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: may have some different terminology. He has the Shanahan outside zones,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: so it's not that different. Yeah, it's not that different,
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: Not different, just three different words and stuff like that.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: But when I'm writing this story for the News Tribute,
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: and I will not get the scene out of my head.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: If you signing autographs with you right now, baby with
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: your left then Yeah, as a father of two that
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: are now twenty three years old, I can remember those days.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: What's the biggest challenge? Is it sleep? Is it diaper changes?
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: Is helping mama? What have you learned about being a
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: dad in three months?
• 55:48
  Speaker 10: Uh? What I learned is, like you gotta be It's
• 55:51
  Speaker 10: about the little things. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: it's not it's not too much about the big thing.
• 55:55
  Speaker 10: It's about the little things that make everything go easier.
• 55:57
  Speaker 10: That's why I really worried about it. Shout out to
• 55:59
  Speaker 10: Nia for helping me out with that. She's been a
• 56:01
  Speaker 10: big host. She's a great mom, and I wouldn't I
• 56:04
  Speaker 10: wouldn't be able to tell you that right now without her.
• 56:06
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying, be in there for me,
• 56:08
  Speaker 10: So yeah, I would say that is just a little
• 56:09
  Speaker 10: things that met her.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: If you don't mind telling the listeners the story you
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: told me of where you met me. Yeah, I met
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: her in elementary school. How about that Michigan.
• 56:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I met her elementary school. We grew up together.
• 56:20
  Speaker 10: She went to a different middle school, but came back
• 56:22
  Speaker 10: to our high school and I've been knowring her ever since.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: Did you go to the prom together? No, we did.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: We was not. It was that close to going to
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: Palm together. But we didn't go to prom together. Sally,
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: how did that get? I mean, did you ever talk
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: about that after? Yeah? She definitely. She asked the words
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: about it for sure? For sure? Oh it was your choice? Yeah, okay,
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: maybe yes, sir. The inside scooped to Anthony.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: I know you're busy, man.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: It's great to catch up with you. Maybe your wish
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: will come true and they give you ten or fifteen
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: year stay here in Seattle. Yeah, that's the life for you, sir.
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: That's Anthony Bradford. I sat down with him after practice
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: on Friday and take that for today's show.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: You heard him say it.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: The people in the building myself, they know why I'm here,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: and he's well aware of the critics that he has
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: that cut up miss blocks of his and show it online.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald has said throughout last season, throughout this offseason,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: into this preseason They love Anthony Bradford. They love what
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: he is in this offense. They love how his lateral
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: quickness for a man his size, and the outside zone scheme. Jessmine,
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: it does not appear as though he's going anywhere. They
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: have a final year of his contract this year to
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: play on. It would not surprise me if they re
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: up him during the season at some point, yeah, if
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: not after the season, yeah.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: And I just want people to actually know him a
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: little bit more, which is one of the lovely things
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: that we get from being out here at training camp
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: is getting to know the player and not just the
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: on field player, and also the motivation that comes with
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: being a new father. I think I've seen a lot
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: of change in players, and you know, it does change
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: what happens on the field, It really does, especially.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: For a man who's twenty five years old. I've noticed
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: that I noticed the difference this summer already in Anthony Bradford.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: He's much more at ease, he's as much more perspective
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: on bigger picture, and he's much more open talking about
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: and meeting his wife. I've known him for four years now.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: He's never really spoken about meeting his wife. In grade school,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: before back in Muskegan, Michigan and crediting her with all
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: he has become.
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a family sport.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: It is it is to me.
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: I grew up in it and football is family to me.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: And then you start thinking, Okay, he's a super Bowl champion.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: He's a four year starter. This will be his fourth
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: or four years starting in the league, coming in as
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: a draft pick from LSU. What would they resign him for?
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Patriots have a starting left guard who
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: makes fourteen million a year, Elijah Verah Tucker that the
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Seahawks defense ran over in the Super Bowl in February.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: It is he make Kevin Dotson of the Rams type money.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: It's sixteen million a year. The top guard in the
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: NFL is Tyler Smith. I'm not trying to say Anthony
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Bradford's the top guard in the NFL, but for a
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: perspective on money, Tyler Smith with the Cowboys same age
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: as Bradford, twenty five years old. He makes twenty four
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year in a ninety six million dollar contract.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Eighty one of that is guaranteed, has some void years
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: at the end of it, but he's signed through twenty
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: thirty with the Cowboys. Tray Smith of the Chiefs is
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, makes twenty three to five a year on average,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: with seventy million of ninety four million guaranteed. Then you
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: get guys like Matthew berger On for the Falcons and
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Luke Goodkey of the Buccaneers, Landon Dickerson of the Eagles,
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Chris Linster of the Falcons, Quintin Nelson the Colts, Robert
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Hunt of the Panthers, who's older thirty years old. All
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: of that, I'm giving you a market value of guards
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. But he's probably gonna be around fourteen
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: million a year. I would think Elijah Verah Tucker of
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: the Patriot type of money if they do resign him,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: if he has another season like he had last season,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: and look, he'll tell you he's miss black.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: He said that in the interview he.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: Missed blocks, and the Seahawks offensive line they missed box
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: every block defense gets into the backfield.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: In the NFL, it happens.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: It is peculiar how much he has become a lightning
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: rod for fans to post clips of him missing blocks.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: It's just this team won the Super Bowl and the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: offensive line that was absolutely terrible for ten years. Was
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: a big reason why they fixed themselves under John Benton
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: in a singular purpose of Outside Zone last year.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: Yet the.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Spewing the videos out on the line of Anthony Bradford persisted,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: and you heard him talk about that. If you missed
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: the interview, you can go to the iHeart Radio app.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: You can go to nine through three kjard dot com
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: the Greg Bell Show page on the left side to
• 1:00:50

• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: about that in a couple of days here at the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: News Tribune dot com. Up next is your chance to
• 1:00:58

• 1:01:07

• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: But we do love your voices on this show.

• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: We'll play that back. A lot of text rolling in
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: about Dan Wilson in the man who's the blame gamely
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: on for the Mariners and whether there at seven games
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: under five hundred? Is it with Dan Wilson? Is it
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: with Jerry Depoto? I've already stated what I've said. We'll
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: hear what you say next on ninety three point three KJRFF.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 11: Craig and Jeff Joel here, Hey, Wilson should be gone.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 8: He's over his head.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: But he's a puppet. It's a puppet master.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 11: The guru analytics king, Dobloto should be gone. He can
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 11: scout pitching Lostella Pollock, Long, Rev Schninder, Mike Ford, Solono,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 11: Zebbi Zabala. No, that's not a men's softball league team.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 11: Those are the so called guru hitters that Depoto has
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 11: brought in. Dobloto should be gone.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: I was trying to my little superstition with the Mariners.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: Last year.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: I used to start watching the game late, like the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: third inning.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I started watching it this season when I turned it
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: on the third in the third inning and they're down
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: by two.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: I turn it off because I know they're gonna lose.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Down back two, They're gonna lose. I get there. I
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: get that feeling.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: People are not happy with the Mariners.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Outline that better than I could about the hitters. The
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: yeah than I did about the long list of hitting
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: signings that have just not worked out.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: They just failed. They failed in that regard for you.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: They've been built on home runs or bust, and except
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: for the season that Kyle Rawly hit sixty one home runs,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: it's mostly been busted. One other playoff season in the
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: eleven years under Jerry to Poto's regime, and only two managers,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: nine years with Scott Servis who never managed at any
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: level before that, and two years with Dan Wilson, who
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: had never managed at that level, who they hired the
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Poto pick to replace the guy who had never managed before.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: See a trend there, I don't know, it's just pretty obvious.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: I think that the way you went back in history,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: in the way that you've described it too, is that
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: the front office is making more decisions than people think
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: that the managers are making.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I still don't think major league players need
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: to have a manager who can motivate them.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: I think that you've said that too.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: I just don't see that as their problem.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: I just don't if the players aren't playing and who
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: got the players two five three, nothing changes with replacing Dan.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: The m Zonners are able to create a quote competitive
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: ninety one team unquote. That's all they're trying to do,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: and not create a World Series team, just a middling one.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: They have no incentive to change anything. They're raking in
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: cash from a full stadium. Attitude reflects leadership, of which
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: the Mariners have none. The Mariners average over thirty almost
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: thirty six thousand a game in attendance. That's five thousand
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: ahead of last year. That's five thousand more fifteen dollars
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: hot dogs, that's five more twenty dollars beers, that's five
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: fifty dollars parking spots five to yeah, the ferry boats
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: that sell out, the fairy boat food, containers of fried
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: food that sell out all the time. That's five thousand
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: more this year than last year. That's money in the
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: owners of the Mariner's pockets.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: We can't blame them for that because they have to
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: do that. They have to do their jobs and they
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: create a wonderful, family friendly fan experience. But I do
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 4: understand the frustration on the other end when that's what's
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: being publicized during a losing season.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: The baseball team, the baseball operations of failure, that it's
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: a business enterprise. It's a success and play and owners
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: own teams for as a business and they are in it.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: It is a business and they are succeeding in that business.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Four two five trade Holy One not a leader or
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: primetime player. Bringing Suarez back from Cincinnati, he's a leader.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: MS have no leadership. We've talked about on this show
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: many times. Who is the kick in the ass guy
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: in the Mariners clubhouse.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: That's what's hard to identify because the guys that you
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: wanted to be are underperforming.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: So how can they be that guy at this time?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: And who can be?
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, you've lauded Cole Young, but he's not he's not.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: No, he can't be.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: He's too young.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: Randy Rose Arena to me is the prime candidate because
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: he's on his way out the door. He's going to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: be a free agent this offseason and he's going to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: go to market, and if he cared, he probably raise hell,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: and he has Cashier as a multi multi time All
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: Star and one of the team's only true threats as hitters.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: I could see him doing that.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 5: What about World Blaze?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: He cups his ass when I'm in that club house. Man,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: everybody knows when he's coming around the corner.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: He's well one time. Yes, two IH six. Was it
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 6: a Seahawks question?
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Was it hard to get Bradford an interview with all
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: the criticism he gets on kJ R from the afternoon show.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: No, it was not hard to get Anthony Bradford.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: I asked for him, and I got him because I
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: have a relationship with him from being out here every
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: day for the last four years. Yeah, as you could tell,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: he wasn't exactly miserable talking to me.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Let me just tell you, these guys aren't out here
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: listening to sports talk radio. They aren't, so they well,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: they might have people to tell him that somebody's ripping
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: you for this, or that they really don't care. Yeah,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: and also they do care about online because they look
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: at social media.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: And or someone sends them social media and oh yeah,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: that was bleeped up.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: All right, two O six says, Okay, serious question, No, sarcasm.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: Where do the ms are only four games out of first?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: People think this season's going because the best case scenario
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: is there Baseball's versions of this year's Patriots. And I
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: think it's even a pipe dream, and I want nothing.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: To do with it.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Even that's a pipe dream, it says Toosex literally cried
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: when lou Panela took the field Saturday night. Hope I
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: look that good at eighty two years old. A little
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: math for you. The Mariners need to play seven hundred
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: ball the rest of the season to hit ch a
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Poto's line of five forty fifty four percent.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, he'll never escape that quote.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: No, that really didn't go well except except the fact
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: that we could really be happy with that right now.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how sad. That's how sad this season is. Fifty
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: four percent would be a massive improvement where they're at
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: Top of the tradition.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: Seven games.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they'd be cruising if they were at fifty four
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: percent right now, exactly Toosex. Foundationally, I'm a Mariners fan
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: for life from Chip every buddy. This team cannot pull
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: me back or push me away. If a building is
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: on fire, you don't care who started, just get the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: hell out of there. The hell of a sense of urgency.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: The Mariners building is burning and they're just looking around
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: saying tough fire or are there? Eh, there's no rush
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: with this team. They just kind of hang out on
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: the field and lose like they're used to it. Maybe
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: next year. Well explicitly said two five three. I just
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: want Dan Wilson to grow a player, throw the rules
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: away and call a game the way he knows how
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: a game should be played. If they win and can't
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: be fired, this is ridiculous. Four two five on about
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Terry on Arnold. Have you seen This is from Steven
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Abbott who looks like he's a bar cleared lawyer. Have
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: you seen the charges? They are extreme. Arnold is a
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: big name and I'm sure the people who committed the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: assault will flip on arnored floor.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: Plea deal. Seahawks don't need this clown.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: Steven Abbott, Well, I don't think they need him, but
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: do due diligence is due diligence.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: First round pick, and that's the reason they're even interested.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: And they just want to be in the front of
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: the line if he's exonerated. And like I said, the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: added interest makes me think they have some inside info
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: or at least have dug out some things to say
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: he's not going to be charged and prosecuted for this.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm wondering where the line is when it comes
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: to what's acceptable, because it's like.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: A plea deal with Frank Clark completely.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that one. But you know, I'm wondering your opinion,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: plead deal, complete exoneration.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: If it's a plea deal and he's I'll tell you
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: what they're going to do.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: If it's a plea deal and he's free to play,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: if Arnold loved his visit with the Seahawks, they'll sign him,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: if they if the jurisprudence is that these cleared to play,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: no matter what it is, plea deal, a suspended sentence, probation, whatever.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you can get probation out of
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: these serious of the charges, eight felonies. But but they
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: would sign him. Do I think they should? That's a
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: whole other question. Answers No, not in this culture, not
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: with what Mike McDonald's already brought. Four to five. Dan
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Wilson was hired with zero manager experience. It says major
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: league managing experience, but in fact zero anywhere, not even
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: Little League, not even Hot Dog League. This team was
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: supposed to be ready to make a World Series run
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: over multiple years. The reason Dan Wilson was hired instead
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: of a manager with experience is because Jerry to Putto
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: needed a yes man. He did not want a guy
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: that would push back the Poto is the reason that
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: the problems exists. Until he's out of the changes, the
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: same problems will continue. This team as built and managed
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: into Poto's image and continues to fail, says the four
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: two five seven one four, which is Orange County, my
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: buddy Greg and Huntington Beach. Dan's gotta go. It's hard
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: to blame a manager for his stars not hitting. That
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: is more of an indirect relationship. But I can blame
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Dan and his staff for horrific bullpen and pitching management,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: sudden drop off in her defense, and base running blunders.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Those have a direct line to the manager and proved
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: is not our guy.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: Four to five.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Jerry is the problem.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: Exclamation point. He needs to go. Exclamation point.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: It's so obvious that Jerry is the source of the
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: m's disaster that even the cadet gets he is a problem.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: Go Navy beat Army. I only read that at a duty,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: not as a belief. He spoke cadet with a K,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: which is that's how he outed himself. I knew he
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: was an uneducated Annapolis man.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 5: Well, we have a lot of Navy members here today,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 5: which kind of irks me.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: This is like the second or third year in a
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: row the USAA and the Mariners have chosen a naval unit,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: the Navy unit as the unit of the year. Today's
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be a change of command ceremony from the last
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: Navy unit to a new one.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's in.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Banger at the submarine base, the nuclear Submarine base over
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: on Widby Island is going to be the new unit
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: of the year for the Mariners that they're gonna and
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: then are gonna be running around. The Navy guy is
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: going to be running around trying to do army things
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: after practice, trying to do army on land. They're doing
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: these obs courses and catch passes.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 6: It's you, guys, and.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a joke. It's gonna be absolutely despicable.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: We'll be watching Navy guys trying to be in the
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: army after practice today at the Seahawks.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: There's just so many texts coming.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: Nine oh seven says players respond the leadership and the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: fact that everyone is underperforming is telling as hell.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you got to this one. The two, five, three,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: You guys are crazy. These are grown men. The coach
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: can't make them hit. These guys hit and did great
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: under Wilson, and now they aren't. Whose fault is that
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: it's the players, It's their fault, not Dan Wilson's.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: I tend to agree that at the major league level,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: the Saint High School, you don't need a motivator. Now
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: we get the coast Guard coming in there, we go,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: all right, let's go paranas, all right, now we're going.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: Now we're going.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's there's some seafaring folks that Craig is okay,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: especially with your daughter Sarah and the coastguard.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: Sence Sarah bell Us coast Guard. Yes, we approve of this.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you being here, Coast Guard. Better than that navy
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: stuff to just walk by, Thank you.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, Craig's days was made.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: I got the coast Guard here, I'm good now I'm good,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: going on way, better than that navy stuff to just
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: walk byas appreciate y'all. Go Army beat Navy. Appreciate that too.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, Craig's got that out of his system.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: Two six two oh six is hey, Greg, did you
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: see Julio trading his bat for a card during a game?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: Shake my head. Actually I did like that.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: There was a young woman in the stands and beyond
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: right beyond centerfield and the Julio no fly zone, and
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: he gave her and she passed out in lee.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: With her mother there. I don't see any wrong with that.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: I would have too. I don't see any wrong. I
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: thought it was.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: It was great, and Julia is always like that. You
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: don't always see it on the cameras, but I've seen
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: it a lot.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: That's just decency.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that has nothing to do.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's because I'm a parent.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 5: Nah, I mean, I'm not a parent. I enjoyed it,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: and I enjoy it when I see it. Oh, Paul
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: Deagle just landed to fight very.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: One to know? How is Dan the problem? This team
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: got within seven outs of the World Series. Who was
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: the manager? It's the players?
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: Genius?
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Coon four to five common denominator here is de Poto.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: I will not be buying a ticket to that field,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: but do support by watching on TV to eight.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: They're done.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: Short of a miraculous road trip, attendants will go down
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: on the next homestand I'm not sure about that. I'm
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: not sure a tennant is going to go down appreciably
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: until school gets back here.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people, you know, mark these
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 5: things on there calendars.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: They get the Cubs coming in here next homestan.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: If I'm not saying, yeah.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: That'll pack the place. Yeah, because half of the Midwest
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: lives on the West coast. Now, yeah, that's I'm just saying.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: Like people earmark these games and spend their money well
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: in advance. They don't just you know, jaunt on down
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: to the park. These are planned experiences and so you know,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: just like the fiftieth year thing and the home run
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: derby and everyone was mad about that.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: I know you had your whole Jimothy breakdown last.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: Week, but you know, it's it's a planned activity which
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: some people you know, get to do only once a year,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: and especially because it is costly, and so they're not
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: going to cancel that just because the team's under five hundred.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, I want to say this again. There is no
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: sports fan in North America more justified and being ticked off, frustrated,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: fed up than a Mariner fan period end of story,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: fifty years, no championship series appearance.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: I get it, got it.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: You absolutely deserve all the frustrations and taking out and
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: inventing you can muster. I got it, and I agree
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: with you. I've only been here since ninety four. For
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: those of you that have been there since seventy seven
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: in the Kingdom in the first year, I salute you,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: and I empathize and I wish it was better for you.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: Up next, Infness is up, tell us what's on his show?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: From twelve until three. We're a live from Seahawks training
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: camp on a chillier morning here on ninety three point
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: three KJRFM. Hi, Welcome back from Seahawks training camp, Greg Bell,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Jess and McIntyre. Travis Muger's back at the studio in
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: Elliott Bay and the Infness is joining me. His son
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Keifer is out here today too, one of our state's
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: newest EMTs YEP. Congratulations to him and our family. We
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: need him many more of those. What do you got today?
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: Should we even ask? Are you mollywopping. Today we are
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: molly wopping. Got what a weekend? Man, what a weekend?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: How's out there Friday? I was trying to explained earlier
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: how disappointing and the juxposition of the booze in the park.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: After two on, nobody out and they get absolutely zero,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: and then the hot dogs from Heaven come raining down
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: and the place goes nuts.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: Forty thousand people just going crazy. It was just drawing.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just come on, this is encapsulating the problem with this,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: with this forty thousand people in the park. Why do
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: you even talking about the home run derby? By the way,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: Bucky was smoked after the first round, he was smoked.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 9: I've got such mixed feelings on the home run Derby.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 9: I mean, I'll be the first to admit, like, I'm like,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 9: I just don't care about middle aged dudes trying to
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 9: hit home runs after you lose a game.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: It was so much better than the game.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 9: And then and then I found myself watching it exactly
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 9: so like I'm a massive hypocrite.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: It was a far and a half of my Sun
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: and I day till eleven o'clock.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: They screwed up.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: The parcasting was all messed up though, Like I streamed
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: off my phone via Twitter, like it wasn't on the
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: Mariner's channel, it wasn't on Apple.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: It's weird. I don't know it.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: Just so they were taking the stadium feed the the
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 9: basically the big screen feed is what they're taking, so
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: it's kind of a cluster.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I was like, I'm not watching this crap.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 9: I'm done. I'm so mad right now, I'm not watching
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 9: this stuff. And then I end up watching this now
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 9: I did.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: I'll say this.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 9: I turned it off after Eatro when eachro did make
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 9: I couldn't care less about Nola and Romero in the finals.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: But the park had most of the forty thousands. Yeah,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: but then when Eiro hit gone, God, yeah, as soon
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: as he didn't, you know what, okay I was, I
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: was gonna say it was to me it was reminiscent
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: of the home run derby in All Star Weekend.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 9: Julio goes nuts in the first round, then gets to
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 9: the semis or quarters or whatever the next round gets
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 9: eliminated and everyone left, and I was that way I left.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what it felt like.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 9: No one knows who Austin, Nola and Stephan Romero was like,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 9: no one when I think of Marri like, you know
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 9: Bucky is you know, Bucky's time in the majors was
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 9: less than those guys, obviously, but he knows Bucky. Yeah,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 9: not just because of the radio, but Bucky was a
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: he was a cult hero. Here yes and hit mammoth
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 9: home run. Yes, and he can and he showed. I
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 9: think he hit the longest one. Didn't here the second
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 9: longest one. It's like he's like he could still run
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 9: into one.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: He's just fifty.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 9: So but it was like, God, that was just maybe
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 9: the that was I mean, listen, I hate using this term,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 9: but it was the most Mariner weekend of Mariner weekends.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 9: Great celebration, incredible job, incredible job by by all involved
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 9: in the fiftieth anniversary stuff.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: And Saturday night and then you get swept.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: I said, it's like the best car dealership ever that
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: you love the staff. They give you hot dogs, they
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: give you hot chocolate, they give you gourmet coffee when
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: you come in, they make you feel at home.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: You love it. And the cars suck.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: The whole reason that you're there is to buy a car. Yeah,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: and the cars suck.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: Yep. Yep, that's kind of what.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: It's pretty good.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 9: Oh God, And you know, and I just you know,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 9: I know everybody wants dudes fired. Everybody wants this. I Greg,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 9: I think it's too late for that. And I don't
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 9: think it would change a thing. I don't think that
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 9: spark is going to suddenly happen if you bring anybody up. No,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 9: you can't change the person. Listen, you and I know
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: this well from covering a football team here that did
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 9: fire a coach a few years ago. Yeah, Pete had
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 9: run his course in twenty twenty three. That was readily
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 9: apparent in the locker room after the game down in Arizona.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 9: But but game, But it was also that locker room
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 9: needed an overhaul. They needed a massive overhaul, and not
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 9: just the coach, but a lot you needed to get
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 9: rid of. Here's a thing I believe this.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I think.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 9: Sometimes you just need to get rid of certain people
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 9: and players, and because they can be toxic. And I
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 9: blame a live.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: Especially more in baseball with half the roster size.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but I think Jamal like was a massive problem,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 9: not just because he was a bad football, but he
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 9: was a problem.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'd be at the end when he starts ripping
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: on journalists, wives and things.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just a problem.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 9: I don't know who that guy is in the Mariners clubhouse.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 9: I mean, I know sometimes people put points to Randy.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 9: I don't know Randy. At least he's producing. Yeah, nobody
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 9: else is, and he'll be I mention I mentioned this
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 9: to both Tim Booth a minute ago in the press
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 9: room here at Seahawks. I said, like, everyone wants to
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 9: send Colt Emerson down, and he's really struggling.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: He can't do this.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 9: He's hitting forty five points higher than cal.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: Really, so who's batting eighth now? Right? They can't do
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: much more than we can.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: We can yell and scream all we wanted Dan Wilson,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 9: and probably rightfully so for some things. And maybe it
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 9: is the culture of the clubhouse, but damn you're your
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 9: runner up. M VP is having a historically bad season,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 9: right like Dave Valley's had better seasons than him. Now
