0:00
Speaker 1: Great conversation today. I was like nine thirty this morning
0:05
Speaker 1: and I heard them talking about you know, they kind
0:08
Speaker 1: were they're kind of putting a bow on the on
0:09
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. But more than anything, what happened
0:11
Speaker 1: last night with Team USA and the manager the tm USA,
0:18
Speaker 1: Mark Delarossa, got a lot of grief throughout the tournament, right,
0:20
Speaker 1: Andrews's kind of wasn't just like one day.
0:22
Speaker 2: There was a lot of things that he didn't really
0:25
Speaker 2: show that great side of himself on.
0:27
Speaker 1: No, No, somewhat clueless on lots of things such as rules, tiebreakers,
0:35
Speaker 1: tournament brackets.
0:36
Speaker 2: And even in game decision making.
0:39
Speaker 1: In game decision making. And then the lineup last night.
0:42
Speaker 1: And I'll table this for now because we'll get to
0:44
Speaker 1: it at two o'clock. But I know Cal wasn't hitting
0:52
Speaker 1: in the World Baseball Classic. But I'll just point to
0:55
Speaker 1: just look at the stats. A lot of them dudes
0:58
Speaker 1: weren't hitting. A lot of guys were. There were a
1:00
Speaker 1: lot of I mean, they went how many it was
1:03
Speaker 1: an eighteen inning nice civico. However, many innings they went
1:06
Speaker 1: without scoring a run and their runs all came via
1:09
Speaker 1: the long ball. In the last couple of games. I
1:11
Speaker 1: mean it was TUSA was they were scuffling at the plate.
1:15
Speaker 2: And the last thirteen innings they were three for forty
1:18
Speaker 2: one or seventeen k's.
1:21
Speaker 1: And the three two of the three were home runs, correct,
1:24
Speaker 1: I think? So? Yes, which great, you ran into one. Okay,
1:29
Speaker 1: here's the.
1:29
Speaker 2: Thing, So you're saying it wasn't a cow problem, mean, right, guy?
1:36
Speaker 1: That in any other year besides a historic year by
1:40
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, all right, any other year he's your MVP
1:44
Speaker 1: right in the American League and he's on the bench
1:47
Speaker 1: for the final two games of the tournament, like I
1:52
Speaker 1: and I know, listen, I'm the furthest thing from objective
1:56
Speaker 1: here that I'm just not. I'm just not going to
1:58
Speaker 1: be objective. But really, and you know, Bucky brought up
2:05
Speaker 1: a great point, we'll get to this at two o'clock.
2:06
Speaker 1: I thought their conversation was terrific. Yeah, and also kind
2:08
Speaker 1: of bleeds over what's gonna happen in season. They they
2:11
Speaker 1: discussed that we'll get to that and discuss at more
2:13
Speaker 1: two o'clock. But also, Cal's a better defensive catcher, calls
2:16
Speaker 1: a better game, as Mucky pointed out, than Will Smith.
2:19
Speaker 1: I would just ask the question if will Smith wasn't
2:21
Speaker 1: Dodger hero, let me emphasize Los Angeles Dodgers hero. If
2:27
Speaker 1: he was playing for the I don't want to use
2:30
Speaker 1: Kansas City because Perez is a he's a he's a winner. Yeah,
2:34
Speaker 1: he was behind the plate. And by the way, was
2:36
Speaker 1: that not the template? They didn't have him into the semis,
2:39
Speaker 1: but they went with the veteran behind the plate. There
2:41
Speaker 1: they went. They went with Salvador Perez behind the plate
2:44
Speaker 1: they'd been and it worked out. Okay. The Yeah, if
2:49
Speaker 1: if will Smith was the Pittsburgh Pirates catcher, Yeah, do
2:54
Speaker 1: we think we'd still go down that same road?
2:55
Speaker 2: Probably not. And even if you are gonna bench col
2:59
Speaker 2: like you're you're not hitting, you're late in the game,
3:02
Speaker 2: bring him off the bench like what you're just.
3:06
Speaker 1: You're when you got to the ninth inning knowing you
3:08
Speaker 1: can't string together an inning because you haven't been able
3:11
Speaker 1: to yet. Uh, then yes, because I think they were
3:15
Speaker 1: near the bottom of the order.
3:16
Speaker 2: Where's the urgency?
3:17
Speaker 1: Man that said it was cool? That was the first
3:21
Speaker 1: really game. I watched a lot of great game by
3:24
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, I was. I mean just that the
3:25
Speaker 1: atmosphere was good. I don't know how great a game
3:27
Speaker 1: it was. It was a pitcher's battle and teams that
3:29
Speaker 1: can't hit, but it was but to one thing. Good job, Geno,
3:34
Speaker 1: good job.
3:35
Speaker 2: How great was that?
3:36
Speaker 3: Man?
3:36
Speaker 1: That's like, if someone's gonna win it for them, I'll
3:39
Speaker 1: let it just be him. Huh seriously, god so good
3:43
Speaker 1: vibes only totally well. And you see the whole atmosphere
3:45
Speaker 1: if you watch, like like the crowd shots, how crazy
3:48
Speaker 1: they were going, like I love that for baseball man,
3:51
Speaker 1: And it just and it just meant more to Venezuela. Yeah,
3:53
Speaker 1: just be honest. It just meant more to them than
3:55
Speaker 1: it did to anybody here. It just did. Uh and
3:58
Speaker 1: so cool good for Okay, listen, we didn't get to
4:03
Speaker 1: this really much at all yesterday because of we were
4:06
Speaker 1: doing our March Madness show, a Black Ectology show up
4:08
Speaker 1: Its still call me Casino. They'll be open by the
4:09
Speaker 1: way early tomorrow at Hawk's Peak and Friday and Saturday
4:12
Speaker 1: and Sunday, so hit on up there. The the sonic
4:16
Speaker 1: stuff continues. I just before, uh, before my car issues today,
4:21
Speaker 1: I was on the phone making some calls and getting
4:23
Speaker 1: some stuff out there and trying to figure out where
4:25
Speaker 1: we're at. I know Chris Daniels has been on the
4:26
Speaker 1: station a couple of times with Sophie and MJ. Look,
4:30
Speaker 1: this thing's happening. I want to revisit though something on
4:34
Speaker 1: Monday when we first kind of approached this, did the
4:38
Speaker 1: show asked for opinions, asked for texts and talkbacks, and
4:44
Speaker 1: and andrews, I don't you know? You get the talkbacks,
4:47
Speaker 1: You go through all those and edit those as need
4:48
Speaker 1: be and put them in the system. You glance at
4:51
Speaker 1: the at the at the at the text line too,
4:53
Speaker 1: the takumadage text line. I've been thinking about this the
4:56
Speaker 1: last two days. I was, and I still am a
5:00
Speaker 1: little bit surprised by the overwhelmingly negative reaction to this
5:05
Speaker 1: thing happening. And I do believe it's, like a lot
5:09
Speaker 1: of things, people will warm up to it. And I
5:12
Speaker 1: do think too when the real next next Wednesday's win.
5:15
Speaker 1: So we're seven days away, one week away, yeah, from
5:18
Speaker 1: the vote to have the vote? Okay?
5:20
Speaker 2: Like so wait, can I actually ask you something? Ian?
5:23
Speaker 1: Yeah?
5:23
Speaker 2: Or if it is voted on on next Wednesday, Like
5:27
Speaker 2: you're saying, well, we get an announcement on Wednesday.
5:30
Speaker 1: So I know that there are local media outlets that
5:33
Speaker 1: are staffing said owners meetings. I believe in New York.
5:38
Speaker 1: I think that's where they're at. Doesn't matter wherever they're at.
5:40
Speaker 1: I know that there are there are media outlets staffing
5:43
Speaker 1: said said thing. And there is an Adam Silver availability.
5:47
Speaker 1: I'm hearing it's around noon our time, Okay, eleven thirty
5:51
Speaker 1: to twelve thirty our time. Next week, they'll he'll come
5:53
Speaker 1: out and say, yeah, we voted, and here's the way
5:57
Speaker 1: it's been handled. And this is probably takes this is
5:59
Speaker 1: this may be are The issue for us here is
6:02
Speaker 1: there's just absolutely no sense of excitement. It feels like
6:06
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. You tell me, and there telling
6:08
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, four one tell me any Any
6:12
Speaker 1: talk about expansion from Adam Silver in the league has
6:16
Speaker 1: been almost afterthought, sidebar. We're doing like all this other
6:21
Speaker 1: business and oh yeah, by the way, expansion, yeah right,
6:23
Speaker 1: it it And so it's they've got other stuff they're
6:27
Speaker 1: talking about next week. That's not just that's not the
6:29
Speaker 1: reason for the meeting. So but he will have a
6:32
Speaker 1: media availability afterwards and that will be brought up and
6:34
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll say, yeah, they'll be voted. So and
6:36
Speaker 1: what the vote will be is we voted to move
6:38
Speaker 1: forward to explore expansion exclusively in Seattle and Las Vegas.
6:43
Speaker 1: That's what they will say. That that's that's effectively what
6:45
Speaker 1: it will be.
6:46
Speaker 2: So clarifying. That doesn't mean that they are announcing that
6:49
Speaker 2: they're they're not awarding They're.
6:52
Speaker 1: Not awarding a franchise next Wednesday. That will come, that's
6:55
Speaker 1: expected to come in the summer, and so maybe people's
6:58
Speaker 1: will warm up to the summer. But I'm just when
7:01
Speaker 1: we do texts and we do talkbacks, oftentimes we don't
7:03
Speaker 1: get a chance to really revisit them and kind of
7:05
Speaker 1: discuss them because we do them at the end of
7:06
Speaker 1: our show. I correct me if I'm wrong here, sir.
7:11
Speaker 1: It was overwhelmingly like, uh, yeah, I don't really care.
7:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not not in the I don't think it's
7:17
Speaker 2: gonna happen way, but in I don't really care that
7:20
Speaker 2: it is right right. It's not that they don't believe
7:23
Speaker 2: what the stories are coming out, that the songs are
7:26
Speaker 2: coming back, most likely, it's more that it's like, oh, okay, great,
7:29
Speaker 2: Like I'm just not as excited for it anymore, you know.
7:32
Speaker 1: And then we have parishon and lundon the last two days,
7:34
Speaker 1: two guys that covered the NBA daily, and they both
7:37
Speaker 1: just tell us how what a crap product it is. Yeah,
7:41
Speaker 1: you know, and so you go from people here, and
7:45
Speaker 1: you know, I think it probably just depends on the
7:47
Speaker 1: on the the age group, right. I think people that
7:50
Speaker 1: are a little bit older maybe are going to be
7:53
Speaker 1: a little bit more excited because the sonics meant so
7:55
Speaker 1: much to them. Maybe not. It's just it's a really
7:58
Speaker 1: different thing that I was surprise. I thought we got
8:01
Speaker 1: a ton of feedback. It wasn't like it was one
8:04
Speaker 1: of those topics we bring up and it's a you know,
8:06
Speaker 1: it's it's it's crickets. No, to the contrary, it was
8:10
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing ever, because it was more we had
8:14
Speaker 1: more feedback and response from that particular story than normal.
8:21
Speaker 1: But it was that response was really kind of apathy based.
8:26
Speaker 1: It was there was a tone of apathy or whatever,
8:29
Speaker 1: man or screw the NBA. Still some disdain, I understand.
8:32
Speaker 1: I think we all understand that that that and I
8:36
Speaker 1: think that there's gonna it's gonna take a lot to
8:38
Speaker 1: win people back. I think it's gonna take something to
8:41
Speaker 1: win people back. Listen, there's people you know on our station, Uh,
8:46
Speaker 1: you know Softy and and you know I was Softy
8:48
Speaker 1: in faint top of the list because they were here
8:50
Speaker 1: and they're they're natives. I mean, I really the only
8:52
Speaker 1: the Native Sons. The guys that were here for Sonics
8:55
Speaker 1: basketball are Softy, Fain and I right in terms of
9:00
Speaker 1: the on our host because Chuck came after they left.
9:04
Speaker 1: Bucky is a Blazer fan at heart because he's from Oregon,
9:07
Speaker 1: and MJ's from Parts Unknown. So yeah, I mean those
9:11
Speaker 1: two guys and I guess me, I'd put myself. Yeah,
9:13
Speaker 1: this is a big deal. This this is our team
9:15
Speaker 1: that left us eighteen years ago. But there's a lot
9:18
Speaker 1: of people our age, you know, that are in their forties, fifties,
9:21
Speaker 1: maybe early sixties that are like, yeah, man, I'm done.
9:25
Speaker 1: I'm just done. I remember this when the announcement we
9:30
Speaker 1: were in of all things, Andrews. We were in a staff.
9:32
Speaker 2: Meeting, oh A, meaning to have a meeting in we.
9:35
Speaker 1: Were in It wasn't a vote to have a vote,
9:37
Speaker 1: but we were in a staff meeting of some sort
9:40
Speaker 1: and I was doing the show with my former co
9:42
Speaker 1: host Buck and were we were in there and I'm
9:47
Speaker 1: trying to think what was on at the time. I
9:50
Speaker 1: think we had something tapes because it was like a
9:52
Speaker 1: significant meeting, so like we had something tape that was playing,
9:56
Speaker 1: and the story broke that it was like, hey, the
10:01
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings that Chris Hansen is looking at it had
10:03
Speaker 1: made an offer to buy the Sacramento Kings. And it
10:07
Speaker 1: was man, all hands on deck were out there running
10:10
Speaker 1: in there like it was we jumped on the air.
10:13
Speaker 1: It was crazy and the excitement level was through the roof.
10:17
Speaker 1: But that was only a few years after the team left.
10:20
Speaker 1: And I think because we were told when the team
10:23
Speaker 1: left that the best course to get it back was
10:25
Speaker 1: just to you know, kiss David Stearns's backside and drop
10:29
Speaker 1: the lawsuit. As a city that we all thought, okay,
10:31
Speaker 1: cool man, we're good, right, We're good. And then when
10:34
Speaker 1: obviously that didn't come to fruition and now we've been
10:37
Speaker 1: waiting for another fourteen years or fifteen sixteen years since then,
10:41
Speaker 1: I think that's where the apathy and then just really
10:44
Speaker 1: kind of some true vento towards the league is creeped in.
10:47
Speaker 1: I'll just kind of ask this two days later, as
10:49
Speaker 1: your tone changed at all four nine four or five one,
10:52
Speaker 1: has your tone changed? It all about the NBA coming back,
10:55
Speaker 1: because it is coming back, people. It's coming back in
10:57
Speaker 1: the fall of twenty twenty eight. Barring something completely foreseen,
11:00
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, we'll have the NBA basketball here at
11:03
Speaker 1: Climate Pledgerina. I want to get to more of that
11:05
Speaker 1: in two o'clock out along with the WBC two because
11:06
Speaker 1: there's some stuff I want touch in on about the
11:08
Speaker 1: building out her Chris Daniels talking about today. We'll get
11:10
Speaker 1: into all that coming up when we come back, though,

12:23
Speaker 1: is how you do game day. This is how we
12:26
Speaker 1: do the draft. Our guy Greg Cosell joins us. Hello, sir,
12:30
Speaker 1: how are you boy?
12:31
Speaker 5: There's too much going on ee? And there's the draft,
12:34
Speaker 5: there's now we're in March madness, you mean, Baseball starts
12:37
Speaker 5: in eight.
12:38
Speaker 1: Days and then we've got NHL and NBA playoffs soon thereafter. Sir.
12:42
Speaker 1: It's a glorious time of the year. You know, it's
12:44
Speaker 1: a good time of the year. It's a good time
12:45
Speaker 1: of the year.
12:46
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that my simple mind can't handle all
12:48
Speaker 5: this stuffy and it's too much.
12:49
Speaker 1: No, but you know what, your your mind is more
12:51
Speaker 1: than just simple sir, it's it's diving into tape and
12:54
Speaker 1: going through tape. And I was listening with great interest
12:58
Speaker 1: to our show that is on after Me with two
13:00
Speaker 1: gentlemen by the name of David Mahler and Richard L.
13:04
Speaker 1: Faine On. I believe it was it was Monday, because
13:07
Speaker 1: yesterday I was watching fresh four games. That's a whole
13:09
Speaker 1: different story. Anders. By the way, anyway, we will as
13:12
Speaker 1: let's see those guys. And I'm not gonna say quote
13:15
Speaker 1: there was panic in the streets, but there was rather
13:18
Speaker 1: large concern for the Seahawks heading into the next season
13:22
Speaker 1: in its one position group. And that's where we're gonna
13:25
Speaker 1: start a pre draft coverage with today with Greg Cosel,
13:28
Speaker 1: and that would be the running back position. And rightfully so,
13:31
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl MVP Ken Walker has gone to Kansas
13:34
Speaker 1: City Zach Charboney, who is the backup although they just
13:36
Speaker 1: split carries last season. We're going to assume he's going
13:39
Speaker 1: to be at the best ready for maybe sometime in
13:42
Speaker 1: September after turning the ACL and then after that the
13:45
Speaker 1: drop off is pretty significant. Kenny McIntosh coming off in ACLA, CARDI,
13:49
Speaker 1: you're Wright coming off in ACL. I mean, so's a
13:51
Speaker 1: lot of guys banged up. We know what George Hallani
13:53
Speaker 1: is kind of seems to be just a dude. So Greg,
13:56
Speaker 1: let's start with our draft coverage with the running back
13:59
Speaker 1: pos I don't want to spend a lot of time
14:02
Speaker 1: on Jeremiah Love because he's going to be long gone
14:04
Speaker 1: before Seattle's even thinking about drafting, if they even do
14:07
Speaker 1: draft in the first round at thirty two. Just a
14:09
Speaker 1: quick thought though on Jeremiah Love and how much there's
14:11
Speaker 1: a separation between him and the rest of the running
14:13
Speaker 1: back class. Oh.
14:14
Speaker 5: I think Jeremiah Love based on tape and I did
14:17
Speaker 5: him last summer with his twenty twenty four tape. In
14:19
Speaker 5: this year, of course, I think he's truly one of
14:22
Speaker 5: those special backs. I kind of put him in the
14:25
Speaker 5: Jon Robinson category. For me, He's a significantly better prospect
14:30
Speaker 5: than Ashtroon genty was a year ago. So to me,
14:33
Speaker 5: Love is truly a special back. He's an explosive home
14:39
Speaker 5: run hitter. He's big, he's physical. He's also a grinder
14:42
Speaker 5: who can get the hard yards, so you can split
14:46
Speaker 5: him out. I mean, look at someone like Bijon, which
14:49
Speaker 5: you can do with Love. Bejon Robinson twenty percent of
14:51
Speaker 5: his snaps a year ago he was detached from the formation.
14:55
Speaker 5: So you know, offensive coaches are looking for explosive plays.
15:00
Speaker 5: I think Love is one of those guys you know
15:02
Speaker 5: that gets into that whole discussion about where you.
15:04
Speaker 1: Draft a back.
15:05
Speaker 5: To me, you draft players that can line up anywhere
15:09
Speaker 5: in your formation and create explosive plays. And to me,
15:12
Speaker 5: Jeremiah Love is that guy.
15:13
Speaker 1: So he'll be long gone for Seattle. So let's talk
15:15
Speaker 1: about guys. It could be there whenever they decide to pick.
15:18
Speaker 1: It could be thirty two. They could trade out of
15:20
Speaker 1: that first round, and it could be It feels like
15:22
Speaker 1: most of the other guys were seeing it seems like
15:25
Speaker 1: a consensus is probably our Day two guys, Day three guys.
15:28
Speaker 1: But let me start. We'll just stay in Notre Dame
15:30
Speaker 1: because his teammate is a guy that people are talking about,
15:35
Speaker 1: Jadarian Price. Five to eleven, over two hundred pounds. Doesn't look
15:39
Speaker 1: like he's the fastest guy in the world. What do
15:41
Speaker 1: we see with the Jendarian Price?
15:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, Judarian Price, I mean, he's clearly a good prospect.
15:47
Speaker 5: I mean, let's understand that. You know, he's obviously he
15:51
Speaker 5: spent two years being a quote unquote backup, you know,
15:56
Speaker 5: but he's a solid prospect. I think he's got a
15:58
Speaker 5: strong traits profile. He's got size, he's decisive, he's got burst,
16:02
Speaker 5: he's got toughness. I think some NFL teams will believe
16:08
Speaker 5: that he can be a feature back, although that term
16:10
Speaker 5: is very team and scheme specific. I mean, I almost
16:14
Speaker 5: go back a number of years to when Kyron Williams
16:16
Speaker 5: came out of Notre Dame. Again, we're in the Notre
16:19
Speaker 5: Dame mode here apparently, and no one saw him as
16:21
Speaker 5: a true feature back. And obviously you know him well
16:24
Speaker 5: being in your division. But two years ago he had
16:27
Speaker 5: over three hundred carries. This year he was close. So
16:31
Speaker 5: I think it always comes down to team and scheme.
16:35
Speaker 5: Price is not, you know, a loose hip guy. He's
16:37
Speaker 5: probably a little stiff, but he's got very quick feed.
16:41
Speaker 5: He can make those kind of sharp, controlled cuts. I
16:44
Speaker 5: wouldn't call him a true home run hitter, but he
16:47
Speaker 5: does have enough accelerating speed at times to run away
16:51
Speaker 5: from second and third level defenders. I think he's a
16:54
Speaker 5: strong prospect. He's certainly competitively tough, and I think that
16:58
Speaker 5: that's what really stands out. And I think that's what
17:01
Speaker 5: would stand out to the Seahawks welle thing.
17:03
Speaker 1: I saw a note on Greg and this will be
17:05
Speaker 1: a general question just it's jendarium price. But everybody you
17:09
Speaker 1: know when I said the combine didn't do him a
17:12
Speaker 1: lot in terms of help. When you're looking at tape,
17:15
Speaker 1: you're watching game tape, I'm assuming you're not watching guys
17:18
Speaker 1: running around in shorts in Indianapolis much. No, Okay, no.
17:22
Speaker 5: I was at the combine, so I saw the guys
17:24
Speaker 5: running around in shorts. But I don't spend a lot
17:26
Speaker 5: of time after that. To be honest, I really don't
17:28
Speaker 5: spend any time after that watching guys running around in shorts.
17:34
Speaker 1: I'll get to some of the other names elsewhere in
17:36
Speaker 1: the country, but I'm not going to bury the lead.
17:37
Speaker 1: I'll just stay with our guy here because I think
17:39
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, as a guy that had to
17:41
Speaker 1: watch what my team play against him a couple of times,
17:43
Speaker 1: I hated it because I thought he was really good.
17:45
Speaker 1: I thought there had to be some injuries that cost
17:48
Speaker 1: him a little bit this year because I felt like
17:51
Speaker 1: at times he carried that Washington football team. And that's
17:54
Speaker 1: Jonah Coleman. I mean, he's every bit of two twenty.
17:58
Speaker 1: He's not the tallest guy in the world five eight twenty. Yeah,
18:02
Speaker 1: powersome speed. What do you see from Jonah Coleman when
18:04
Speaker 1: you watch his tape?
18:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, he's one of those guys. He's he's
18:09
Speaker 5: he's got that compact body. As you mentioned, He's a
18:13
Speaker 5: highly competitive, tough downhill runner. He's got a very low
18:16
Speaker 5: center of gravity because he's not tall, and I think
18:19
Speaker 5: he's got a physical presence to him. I think he
18:23
Speaker 5: ultimately did have the traits of a professional runner. And again,
18:26
Speaker 5: now you have to decide what that means in your system.
18:30
Speaker 5: But I thought he had patients. I thought he understood,
18:33
Speaker 5: you know, and this is innate, had to set up
18:36
Speaker 5: and manipulate both first and second level defenders with his
18:39
Speaker 5: path and his stick steps, and then he was really
18:42
Speaker 5: explosive and sudden with a short area burst. You know,
18:46
Speaker 5: he's not a home run hitter, But again you have
18:49
Speaker 5: to decide what that means to you if you you know,
18:53
Speaker 5: obviously we know Love is a home run hitter, but
18:56
Speaker 5: Coleman has much more of a darting slashing dial. He
19:00
Speaker 5: has really good contact balance. He can absorb hits and
19:04
Speaker 5: maintain and that that kind of results in gaining more tough,
19:08
Speaker 5: hard yards. So you know, he's a good prospect. You know,
19:12
Speaker 5: I've heard some things about his weight. Who knows, but
19:15
Speaker 5: just if you watch the tape, you see a back
19:18
Speaker 5: that that is pretty intriguing.
19:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's that's That's why I want to
19:22
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the tape, because when every time
19:24
Speaker 1: I watched him play, I thought, Wow, this guy's pretty
19:27
Speaker 1: damn good. Like he is. He is a guy that
19:30
Speaker 1: could take over a high level college football game. And
19:33
Speaker 1: at times did I think he was a little banged
19:35
Speaker 1: up last season. I think that took its. It's a
19:37
Speaker 1: little bit off of what maybe his production last season.
19:40
Speaker 1: Didn't have the best offensive line at times, either, But yeah,
19:43
Speaker 1: I mean I if I think not just because he's
19:46
Speaker 1: a Husky, I think if if the Seahawks take took
19:49
Speaker 1: Jonah Coleman, I think people here would be pretty excited.
19:51
Speaker 1: I'll move down the list. Great co sell again brought
19:53
Speaker 1: to you by our good friends at the Hall. Don't
19:54
Speaker 1: forget five dollars smash Burger's post game at the Occidental
19:57
Speaker 1: Beer Hall after Mentor games this year, make sure you
19:59
Speaker 1: swing on buy. I've heard a lot of talk about him,
20:03
Speaker 1: and I'm really curious to hear what you think about
20:05
Speaker 1: about Evitt Johnson out in Nebraska. I've heard a lot
20:08
Speaker 1: of conversations about him. I can't wait to hear what
20:10
Speaker 1: you have to say. Five ten, two hundred pounds or so.
20:13
Speaker 1: What do you see with him?
20:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, he almost again now you get into team in scheme,
20:19
Speaker 5: but he almost runs like a scatback. He was fun
20:21
Speaker 5: to watch. He was downhill, he was decisive. He's kind
20:25
Speaker 5: of has kind of an electric and twitchy lower half.
20:28
Speaker 5: I mean, he can make really sharp, decisive cuts at
20:32
Speaker 5: the first and second levels of the defense, really good
20:34
Speaker 5: balance and body control. He can re accelerate into the
20:37
Speaker 5: third level of the defense. His bill, his frame gives
20:41
Speaker 5: him a low center of gravity and that allowed him
20:44
Speaker 5: to run with outstanding balance and he could drive through
20:46
Speaker 5: arm tackles without losing any burst in speed. You know,
20:51
Speaker 5: he's more of a scatback type runner to me, I
20:54
Speaker 5: don't know if he'll be seen as a feature back,
20:57
Speaker 5: but again, you know, I refer to what Kyron Williams know.
21:00
Speaker 5: How teams see him, but he was a fun guy
21:02
Speaker 5: to watch.
21:03
Speaker 1: Is Emma Johnson is is he?
21:06
Speaker 5: Is?
21:06
Speaker 6: He?
21:06
Speaker 1: Kyron Williams, like in a sense, is that who you
21:08
Speaker 1: comp him to maybe?
21:09
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, when I watched him, I thought
21:11
Speaker 5: to myself to you know, if he was playing for
21:13
Speaker 5: the Rams, they would probably see him as a feature back.
21:15
Speaker 5: I don't think they run the same way at all.
21:18
Speaker 5: I think Johnson is a much more electric runner with
21:21
Speaker 5: his lower half. I mean, Williams is to me kind
21:24
Speaker 5: of a and I want to you know, short, be
21:28
Speaker 5: short with him, but he's kind of a grinder, a sustainer.
21:32
Speaker 5: He's not a guy that you know, I don't view
21:35
Speaker 5: him as a guy that's that's shifty, Whereas Johnson is real,
21:39
Speaker 5: he got that twitchy lower half.
21:41
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking too greg with with you know,
21:43
Speaker 1: we've now watched John Schneider draft since twenty ten, and
21:48
Speaker 1: he's taking a lot of running backs over the years.
21:50
Speaker 1: He's take us the fullbacks over the years as well.
21:52
Speaker 1: There and there's no there's no rhyme or reason to
21:55
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of the style, because I think
21:57
Speaker 1: there's so many guys that were different, right, I mean
21:59
Speaker 1: it's you know, Kristen Michael was different than than Rashad Penny,
22:03
Speaker 1: that was different than Ken Walker, different than than Chris Carson,
22:06
Speaker 1: different than Zach Scharboney. Right, He's he's kind of it
22:09
Speaker 1: feels like with with John Schneider drafting running backs over
22:12
Speaker 1: the years, and again we've they've gone through a lot
22:14
Speaker 1: of different offensive coordinators, right, you know, it doesn't matter
22:17
Speaker 1: whether it was Bevel or Shoddy or you know, now
22:21
Speaker 1: they've you know, in the Shanahan system type of thing
22:24
Speaker 1: they've they've it feels like he's filled out the entire
22:27
Speaker 1: Bengal card has John Schneider, it's hard to kind of
22:29
Speaker 1: probably get a read on what kind of back he's
22:30
Speaker 1: looking for.
22:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you're one hundred percent right, And and
22:33
Speaker 5: we we still haven't mentioned in back that I me
22:36
Speaker 5: could well be the number two back in this draft class.
22:40
Speaker 1: And Mike is that Mike Washington?
22:42
Speaker 5: That would be Mike Washington.
22:43
Speaker 1: Yes, let's let's talk about Mike Washington from Arkansas.
22:48
Speaker 5: I I really, you know, I didn't know much about
22:50
Speaker 5: him because he's had a kind of an interesting journey
22:53
Speaker 5: to get to Arkansas. I mean, he's began his college
22:56
Speaker 5: career at Buffalo in upstate New York. He stayed there
22:59
Speaker 5: for three years, he only started six games. Then he
23:02
Speaker 5: transferred to New Mexico State and then finished his college
23:05
Speaker 5: career at Arkansas and in the SEC, where he had
23:07
Speaker 5: an outstanding season. He is a big, fast back, and
23:12
Speaker 5: normally speed and power are traits that work in the
23:17
Speaker 5: National Football League. I mean, this guy has a desirable
23:20
Speaker 5: combination of size and speed and natural power. It's generated
23:23
Speaker 5: from a strong lower half. He can run through arm
23:27
Speaker 5: tackles and pour angle attempts and maintain his balance and speed.
23:30
Speaker 5: I think he's patient yet decisive when he needs to be.
23:35
Speaker 5: I think he's both a physical runner who can get
23:37
Speaker 5: hard yards inside and a home run hitter who can
23:40
Speaker 5: burst beyond the first and second levels of the defense.
23:44
Speaker 5: So you know, he's a back that I think he's
23:47
Speaker 5: just scratching the surface. And because of his size and
23:51
Speaker 5: his speed, I think he's a true foundation kind of runner,
23:55
Speaker 5: and I'd be very interesting. Obviously, I don't know what
23:58
Speaker 5: John Schneider and that whole group thinks, but I found
24:02
Speaker 5: him to be one of the most fascinating running back
24:04
Speaker 5: prospects in this tract.
24:06
Speaker 1: I'm curious Greg Greg Coseill joining us again and brought
24:09
Speaker 1: to you by our friends at the Hall Group. The
24:11
Speaker 1: Occidental Hall has five dollars smash burgers postgame after baseball
24:14
Speaker 1: this year you're making your way down from the ballpark,
24:16
Speaker 1: make sure you swing on by pregame and postgame at
24:19
Speaker 1: the Occidental Hall. Mike Washington, the numbers pop six to one,
24:24
Speaker 1: two twenty three. You mentioned he's fast for three three
24:27
Speaker 1: or so, he's bigger. He's slightly faster, but taller, taller
24:32
Speaker 1: and bigger than Jeremiah Love. What how much separation is
24:35
Speaker 1: there between Love and Mike Washington.
24:38
Speaker 5: Well, Love is a much looser athlete. I mean Love,
24:41
Speaker 5: Love is just his hitter, looser, he's shiftier. He's Love
24:45
Speaker 5: is even more purely explosive. Washington is probably a little
24:50
Speaker 5: straight line, and I'm sure there'll be some people who
24:53
Speaker 5: view him as you know, too much like that. But
24:55
Speaker 5: you know, he also weighs more than Love, so uh,
24:59
Speaker 5: you know, I just think he's a really intriguing prospect.
25:03
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, like I said, you could you
25:05
Speaker 5: could look at him and think he's straight line, linear,
25:07
Speaker 5: with some tightness in his hips, in his core. You
25:10
Speaker 5: wouldn't say he's shifty and elusive. Love is a much
25:13
Speaker 5: looser athlete.
25:15
Speaker 1: I think a year ago we would have talked to him.
25:16
Speaker 1: We would have gone to Penn State and asked you
25:18
Speaker 1: about Nicholas Singleton and would have said, Wow, that's a
25:20
Speaker 1: that's a guy. That's a that's a that's a big
25:22
Speaker 1: time running back. And then this year happened with a
25:24
Speaker 1: lot of stuff at Penn State. But let's talk about
25:26
Speaker 1: Penn stat Nicholas Singleton.
25:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, Singleton is. I think a lot of people are
25:33
Speaker 5: going to be unsure how to deal with him because
25:35
Speaker 5: Singleton he's a big back as well, and I think
25:39
Speaker 5: a lot of people forget how big he is now.
25:41
Speaker 5: He's another guy that's more straight line, linear than loose.
25:44
Speaker 5: Nipton naturally fluid. The guy he kind of reminded me
25:47
Speaker 5: of and I don't and I think people listening will
25:50
Speaker 5: remember this back because it wasn't that long ago. He
25:53
Speaker 5: reminded me of Darren mcfatten, you know, sort of that
25:57
Speaker 5: one cut downhill explosive speed, because this guy is really
26:02
Speaker 5: fast and he's downhill. You know, he's not loose and shifty.
26:07
Speaker 5: But if you can get him in one of those
26:09
Speaker 5: zone systems where it's one cut and he goes downhill
26:12
Speaker 5: because he actually runs really hard too. I mean, there's
26:15
Speaker 5: a physical nature to his running. He will lower his
26:18
Speaker 5: pads and he will attack tacklers. But you know he's
26:22
Speaker 5: to me, that's kind of who he reminded me of.
26:25
Speaker 5: You know, he's he can, you know, stick that foot
26:28
Speaker 5: in the ground and then get downhill. And he still
26:31
Speaker 5: has those traits. I know this year didn't work out
26:33
Speaker 5: well for him. Obviously the other back had worked out
26:36
Speaker 5: a lot better. But something's there with Nick Singleton. I'll
26:39
Speaker 5: be very curious to see where he's drafted easier.
26:43
Speaker 1: You talk about every now and then when we do this, Greg,
26:46
Speaker 1: you talk touching on a guy and it just says, oh,
26:48
Speaker 1: that's a John Schneider guy. Like that's it. Like like
26:51
Speaker 1: you know, two years ago, great, last year, some stuff
26:53
Speaker 1: happened and again Penn State had all kinds of issues,
26:55
Speaker 1: and it's like maybe falls down on a board here
26:58
Speaker 1: or there, and then all of a sudden, that justis
27:00
Speaker 1: John Schneider. Like for a pick. But you mentioned the
27:02
Speaker 1: other guy. Psley has two guys. Kate trod Allen's the
27:04
Speaker 1: other one. What's what's he all about? Yeah?
27:06
Speaker 5: Now he's a totally different back. He's a sustaining grinder
27:10
Speaker 5: and I like him. I think he has professional running traits.
27:13
Speaker 5: The question is how will he be seen, because again
27:16
Speaker 5: you're dealing with a guy that's not really going to
27:18
Speaker 5: take it to the house. You know, he could be
27:20
Speaker 5: the foundation of an offense, and John Schneider could certainly
27:23
Speaker 5: see him this way. I mean, he's got size, he's
27:26
Speaker 5: got natural power. He can grind out hard earned yards,
27:29
Speaker 5: and you know that's something that you know, a lot
27:32
Speaker 5: of people don't really look at that, but it's a
27:34
Speaker 5: big deal. When it's blocked for three and your back
27:37
Speaker 5: gets six, that's a big deal ian And you know
27:40
Speaker 5: a lot of those don't look like fun runs. You know,
27:42
Speaker 5: nobody goes, oh wow, what a great run. You know,
27:44
Speaker 5: but that's the stains offense. It allows offensive coordinators to
27:48
Speaker 5: be expansive in their play calling because you stay in
27:51
Speaker 5: normal down in distant situations. And I'm not sure a
27:54
Speaker 5: lot of people think about it that way. But this
27:56
Speaker 5: kid Alan, he's tough, he's competitive, he's determined, he's got vision.
28:01
Speaker 5: As a lot of those kinds of backs do. He
28:03
Speaker 5: has that sort of really desirable combination of both patients
28:07
Speaker 5: and decisiveness. He can work both effectively in his own
28:12
Speaker 5: schemes gap schemes, you know, the more he's the kind
28:16
Speaker 5: of back you have to watch a lot of because
28:18
Speaker 5: you're not going to come away from the first watch going, wow,
28:21
Speaker 5: that guy's really really good. But the more you watch
28:24
Speaker 5: him just because he just grinds out yards and you know,
28:28
Speaker 5: on a certain level. Look again, I think of Chris
28:31
Speaker 5: Carson for the Seahawks. I mean, Chris Carson was not
28:33
Speaker 5: a home run hitter, but he would grind out yards.
28:37
Speaker 1: Oh he and I mean he was special like it was.
28:40
Speaker 1: That was That's one of the best draft picks John
28:41
Speaker 1: Snider's ever had. Obviously, the injuries took in a toll,
28:44
Speaker 1: and I maybe the way he ran took its toll
28:46
Speaker 1: because it was basically a neck injury that that ended
28:49
Speaker 1: his career. One more guy I want to ask you about.
28:51
Speaker 1: And this will be a really familiar name to people
28:53
Speaker 1: out here, and they may have said be saying themselves.
28:56
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to jayde Nott, the former Calary burst burst
29:01
Speaker 1: on the scene as a freshman, was great at cal
29:04
Speaker 1: transfers to Oklahoma. I kind of feel like he fell
29:06
Speaker 1: off the radar a little bit, but obviously draft nobody
29:09
Speaker 1: falls off a radar when it comes to draft time.
29:11
Speaker 1: We'll wrap things up with your thoughts on Jayde Not.
29:14
Speaker 5: Well, Jade, not because I actually watched him that year
29:16
Speaker 5: at Stanford and then obviously things have not worked out
29:20
Speaker 5: but for him. But I thought after that year at Stanford,
29:23
Speaker 5: I thought that this kid was, you know, potentially a
29:26
Speaker 5: big time feature back prospect in the NFL. And you know,
29:29
Speaker 5: he certainly has traits. I mean, I don't think you
29:32
Speaker 5: lose your traits. I mean, I know he's had some injuries,
29:35
Speaker 5: so you know that's hard for me to know. You'd
29:38
Speaker 5: have to work them out, which obviously I'm not the
29:40
Speaker 5: one who's going to be doing that, but teams will
29:41
Speaker 5: be doing that. And you know, based on what he
29:45
Speaker 5: did on tape in that I guess it was the
29:46
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three season. You know, he really looked like
29:50
Speaker 5: an up and coming back and it's just for whatever reason,
29:53
Speaker 5: it hasn't happened. But if he can get back to that,
29:56
Speaker 5: and he won't be a high draft choice because of it,
29:59
Speaker 5: and you know, he could well be a fifth or
30:01
Speaker 5: sixth or seventh round pick. But if he can get
30:03
Speaker 5: back to that, somebody is going to get a really
30:06
Speaker 5: good back. I mean, he was he was really one
30:09
Speaker 5: of those guys. When I finished watching him, I thought, Wow,
30:11
Speaker 5: this guy is this guy's going to be a really
30:13
Speaker 5: good player.
30:15
Speaker 1: You know, just to quick wrap up, Greg, as you're
30:17
Speaker 1: going through these guys, it does feel like if there's
30:20
Speaker 1: a little stress or consternation out there right now about
30:23
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with the Seahawks and running back position,
30:26
Speaker 1: there will be guys to find. There will be there
30:29
Speaker 1: are two there are day two guys that you can
30:32
Speaker 1: and really for Seattle that's in need, like and and
30:35
Speaker 1: you know, I know it's always best best player available,
30:37
Speaker 1: but you know, Seattle doesn't need to draft an offensive
30:39
Speaker 1: tackle early. They don't need to draft a wide receiver,
30:42
Speaker 1: they don't need to draft, you know, a linebacker. And
30:45
Speaker 1: you know, I think they're probably well you know.
30:48
Speaker 5: You and and it very often comes down to the
30:51
Speaker 5: best player available at a position of need exactly.
30:54
Speaker 3: Back to that exactly.
30:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's and that's what it is, Greg, And
30:58
Speaker 1: you're in this this position of need is running back
31:00
Speaker 1: probably number one Numero luno. And after listening to you today,
31:04
Speaker 1: I feel like if you're a Seawk fans should feel
31:06
Speaker 1: a lot better. There are there will be guys.
31:07
Speaker 5: There, There are backs I mean, Love is clearly special
31:10
Speaker 5: and there's no one that can touch him in this draft.
31:13
Speaker 5: But there are backs, and we've seen what John Schneider
31:15
Speaker 5: and the Seahawks have done over the years with different
31:18
Speaker 5: kinds of backs who were not necessarily high draft choices,
31:21
Speaker 5: you know, and thought of in that way. And you know, look,
31:24
Speaker 5: I love I really love Mike Washington and I and
31:28
Speaker 5: when I say I love him, I think for Seattle.
31:30
Speaker 5: And again, I have no idea what John Schneider thinks,
31:32
Speaker 5: but you know, I think he's the kind of back
31:34
Speaker 5: that they would look at and think, wow, guy who's
31:37
Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty five pounds or so. You know,
31:39
Speaker 5: he's tough, he's physical, he can take it to the house.
31:43
Speaker 5: You know, I look like I look at it back
31:45
Speaker 5: like that and think that he would fit their offense.
31:48
Speaker 5: But again, that's that's my point of view based on
31:51
Speaker 5: tape and what I ye know, I'm not in John
31:53
Speaker 5: Schneider's head. Maybe they don't like him at all. I
31:55
Speaker 5: don't know the answer to that.
31:56
Speaker 1: Andrews clipped that, so when they draft him, we'll make
31:58
Speaker 1: we'll make pressures. It seems even smarter than normal. How's that?
32:03
Speaker 3: Well, you know, that's the thing.
32:05
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, and and if I talk to GMS,
32:07
Speaker 5: and I don't know John Schneider, but I certainly never
32:09
Speaker 5: ask them. You know, my conversations are just about the
32:12
Speaker 5: evaluation process, and you know how they go about evaluating players.
32:16
Speaker 5: I never ask anybody you know what your board look like,
32:19
Speaker 5: because you know that. To me, that's I don't want
32:21
Speaker 5: to do that. You know, I'm not looking for a scoop.
32:24
Speaker 5: That's not who I am.
32:25
Speaker 1: No, But we're gonna make you sound smart when they
32:26
Speaker 1: pick one of those guys. I'll tell you that right now.
32:28
Speaker 1: All right, buddy, listen, next week we do it all
32:30
Speaker 1: over again. We will check in with you and we'll
32:33
Speaker 1: figure you and I could talk off the year. We'll
32:34
Speaker 1: figure out what position, figured it out, We'll figure it out.
32:37
Speaker 5: I'm just grinding away, you know, every day watching tape.
32:39
Speaker 1: You keep grinding away. The rest of us would be
32:41
Speaker 1: watching March Madisa starting tomorrow. So Greg, thank you watching

33:48
Speaker 1: today cracking uh literally as we speak, flying to Nashville, Tennessee,
33:53
Speaker 1: first game of a six game roadie that will probably
33:56
Speaker 1: determine where this team is when it's all said and done.
33:59
Speaker 1: I don't know what the number is, no one of
34:02
Speaker 1: I mean, we could guess probably and say they probably
34:06
Speaker 1: need to go.
34:08
Speaker 2: They go five hundred, get six points on this.
34:10
Speaker 1: They get six points, they get six points on this trip,
34:12
Speaker 1: puts him at seventy seven.
34:14
Speaker 2: I'd be happy of that.
34:15
Speaker 1: With nine games left to go, they're in it. I
34:20
Speaker 1: it's a tough one, man. It is a tough trip.
34:23
Speaker 1: Some injury news. As I mentioned, Janny Newman was called
34:27
Speaker 1: up today from Coachella Valley. He was with the team
34:30
Speaker 1: at the start of the season, went down there. He's
34:31
Speaker 1: been playing well. Ellie Tolman that did not play last night.
34:34
Speaker 1: He got hurt in the previous game on Sunday against Colorado.
34:39
Speaker 1: Did not return to the game after he took a
34:40
Speaker 1: heavy hit, kind of blindside hit, and didn't play last night.
34:44
Speaker 1: Janny Newman had been recalled from Coachella Valley on an
34:48
Speaker 1: emergency basis. No other move in terms of putting Elly
34:51
Speaker 1: on an injured list or anything like that, but he
34:54
Speaker 1: is out for now and Janny Newman coming up. Good
34:57
Speaker 1: for Yanny. I honestly, I would have liked to see
34:59
Speaker 1: him here while ago. You know why, Anders because he
35:02
Speaker 1: can do one thing, shoot shoot the buck and score.
35:05
Speaker 1: And guess what, they just added a guy they can
35:07
Speaker 1: shoot the buck and score. And that guy's been pretty good.
35:10
Speaker 1: Bobby McMahon six points in three games with the Crackling.
35:14
Speaker 1: He's okay, yeah, pretty good, doing well so far. He's
35:17
Speaker 1: done all right. That trades worked out pretty well by
35:20
Speaker 1: Botson Company. I think so, and I say that listen
35:23
Speaker 1: Jannie Newman does not skate like Bobby McMahon.
35:25
Speaker 2: No, he does not.
35:26
Speaker 1: That's if Yanni Newman could skate ten percent better, he
35:31
Speaker 1: would never be back in the minors again. No, he's
35:33
Speaker 1: just not the most fleet of foot. But he can
35:35
Speaker 1: shoot and he could score yea, and that's what they
35:37
Speaker 1: need right now as a hit on this road trip.
35:39
Speaker 1: All right, that's your daily power played home with the
35:41
Speaker 1: crack of nine three point three KJFM four to thirty
35:42

Speaker 1: drop of the buck. Seahawks have just re signed backup
36:26
Speaker 1: wide receiver and special teams stand out Cody White to
36:29
Speaker 1: a contract, and that kind of may be it. That
36:31
Speaker 1: might be it for free agency. Wait for the draft
36:33
Speaker 1: now to see what the Seahawks do at that point
36:36
Speaker 1: in time. WNBA and their players union have reached an
36:38
Speaker 1: agreement in principle on a new collective bargaining agreement. Players

36:46

40:47
Speaker 1: looks like my buddy mentioned it was a good point,
40:49
Speaker 1: my buddy Darren say, it looks like a bad NPSL
40:51
Speaker 1: game right now, which is North pug Down League high
40:53
Speaker 1: school basketball.
40:55
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.
40:56
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a good NPSL game. It was like
40:59
Speaker 1: it would have been like Kent Lake and Kent Meridians.
41:02
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at. Yesterday it was awful, well,
41:05
Speaker 1: not good.
41:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always bad when the action that you make
41:09
Speaker 2: does not come through.
41:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want a little early action. You want to
41:12
Speaker 1: get up like on top early with your action for
41:15
Speaker 1: March Madness. That didn't happen. No, that did not happen.
41:19
Speaker 1: But you know what's the fun annual tradition we go
41:21
Speaker 1: up there. We always like it's those that first first
41:24
Speaker 1: game of the first four is always fun just to
41:26
Speaker 1: mess around with with some little minor things to have
41:28
Speaker 1: some fun with. And yeah, so it's a good time.
41:30
Speaker 1: Okay again nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we'll have the games
41:32
Speaker 1: for you right here, nine three point three k ter FM.
41:34
Speaker 1: The first four games tonight on nine fifty on the AMD,
41:37
Speaker 1: all starting at three forty with game number one. I'll
41:40
Speaker 1: get to the WBC in a second. We'll get to
41:44
Speaker 1: that in a heartbeat, because a really good conversation this
41:46
Speaker 1: morning with Chuck and Buck on the col part of it.
41:50
Speaker 1: I just we'll get to that a second. The I
41:54
Speaker 1: brought up earlier in the show today the sonic situation
41:58
Speaker 1: with again the voter a week from today, So in
42:01
Speaker 1: one week we could have a pretty special day in
42:04
Speaker 1: one week. Like, it's not the awarding of the franchise.
42:08
Speaker 1: That's not expected to happen. What is expected to happen
42:11
Speaker 1: is a vote to take place to move ahead with
42:13
Speaker 1: the expansion process. And my god, how many times have
42:15
Speaker 1: you heard Adam Silver You know, we got to look
42:17
Speaker 1: at it. At what time we're gonna when will we
42:19
Speaker 1: actually move ahead without expansion franchise? This will be the
42:22
Speaker 1: meeting to have the next meeting, the vote to have
42:23
Speaker 1: the next vote. Right, But it when you start getting
42:27
Speaker 1: to this point, it just feels as if it's formality
42:29
Speaker 1: from everything we're being told it. Wait for it is
42:32
Speaker 1: a formality. So we're going down a really good road
42:35
Speaker 1: right now. And a week from today they'll be the
42:38
Speaker 1: Adam Silver news conference and he'll talk about europe basketball
42:42
Speaker 1: and all this. Oh and by the way, yes, we
42:43
Speaker 1: have voted to move forward with you know, exploring exclusively
42:48
Speaker 1: Seattle in Las Vegas. That's the significance of it. This
42:52
Speaker 1: isn't a we're moving ahead with looking at expansion and
42:55
Speaker 1: then we're going to look at like eighteen different cities
42:57
Speaker 1: right this, I think the most significant part of this
43:01
Speaker 1: is we're moving ahead and it's exclusively looking at two markets,
43:04
Speaker 1: Vegas and Seattle. So that tells you how far down
43:07
Speaker 1: the road they already are. It also tells you how
43:09
Speaker 1: full of it they've been over the last couple of years. Well,
43:12
Speaker 1: we're not even really looking at expansion right now. I'm
43:13
Speaker 1: not talking about expansion. We haven't talked about expansion, why Okay,
43:16
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, we're looking exclusively at
43:19
Speaker 1: Seattle in Vegas, right Really, so you haven't looked at
43:21
Speaker 1: it all, Adam, like you can tell look be square
43:23
Speaker 1: in the eye. You have never you have not talked
43:25
Speaker 1: behind closed doors, not publicly, not in the press, conference.
43:29
Speaker 1: You haven't talked to potential ownership groups and cities about
43:31
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about cities like you know, uh,
43:36
Speaker 1: mayor what's her face? And uh and uh and and
43:39
Speaker 1: and uh Robert Ferguson, No talking to people that matter.
43:43
Speaker 1: You haven't really done that, right because I know you have,
43:45
Speaker 1: so stop it. But next week will be a big
43:47
Speaker 1: day and it'll be another step forward. And then sometime
43:49
Speaker 1: this summer we're probably gonna have the real party and
43:52
Speaker 1: that'll be cool, I think. And I bring this up
43:54
Speaker 1: because we brought it up on Monday, and it was
43:56
Speaker 1: a very tepid response. To say the very least. People
44:01
Speaker 1: were not fired up like I thought they would be. Yeah,
44:03
Speaker 1: and Andrews, you correct me if I'm wrong. The talkbacks
44:07
Speaker 1: we got and you can send a talk back in
44:08
Speaker 1: now on the Red iHeartRadio red microphone on the iHeart
44:11
Speaker 1: Radio app. Just go there speaking to it thirty seconds
44:14
Speaker 1: or less. You can fire away. Let me know what
44:15
Speaker 1: you think. I did not get the impression in any way,
44:19
Speaker 1: shape or form. People were excited. In fact, to the
44:22
Speaker 1: contracy I thought it was. I would say it was
44:23
Speaker 1: on our show at least it was probably ninety ten
44:27
Speaker 1: either eh, tepid, Yeah, I don't care, what have you
44:30
Speaker 1: to the ten percent that were fired up?
44:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, am I right.
44:34
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair assessment of where people are at.
44:37
Speaker 2: And I wonder how much of that would change as
44:40
Speaker 2: we get closer and then the announcement actually comes and
44:42
Speaker 2: it becomes very tangible because even now, like Gary Parrish
44:48
Speaker 2: came on right after and basically said, yeah, it's happening,
44:50
Speaker 2: you're getting a team, So congratulations. Before we talked about
44:53
Speaker 2: the rest of the NBA off right, So someone who's
44:55
Speaker 2: plugged in the NBA knows how this process works. He's
44:58
Speaker 2: around it every day. Memphis Griveley is obviously, so he's
45:02
Speaker 2: someone who knows kind of how this stuff goes, goes
45:06
Speaker 2: and works. So it's it's good to see, you know,
45:08
Speaker 2: someone who's around it all the time kind of basically
45:11
Speaker 2: say it's it's happening. It's it's for sure happening. Congratulations
45:14
Speaker 2: that you guys are getting a team. But I wonder
45:16
Speaker 2: in terms of the response, how much of that changes
45:19
Speaker 2: when the announcement actually comes, and then as we get closer.
45:22
Speaker 2: You know, you have to put deposits down for season
45:24
Speaker 2: tickets and all that, and it's like, oh wow, we
45:26
Speaker 2: actually like it's we're still the last thing we remember
45:29
Speaker 2: about the Sonics is it being taken away from us
45:33
Speaker 2: instead of like actually looking ahead and seeing that, hey
45:36
Speaker 2: it's coming back in a year and a half or
45:38
Speaker 2: two years.
45:39
Speaker 1: Right, what's your what's your level? To me?
45:43
Speaker 2: I don't have a ton of excitement, But I'm not
45:45
Speaker 2: like as jaded as a lot of people are. I
45:48
Speaker 2: just think in terms of the NBA in general, I've
45:50
Speaker 2: lost a lot of interest. If this had happened, you know, ten, eight, six,
45:55
Speaker 2: even years ago, I feel like I would be way
45:59
Speaker 2: more hyped, just because I was much more of an
46:01
Speaker 2: NBA fan during that time. But now it's just I
46:05
Speaker 2: haven't followed the league as closely. You know. Similarly for
46:08
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, the talk stuff we talked
46:11
Speaker 2: about with John Lund and with Gary Parrish as well,
46:14
Speaker 2: it's more of like, do is it really that much?
46:17
Speaker 2: It's a league thing less than a Seattle thing for me. Yeah,
46:21
Speaker 2: And and that's why I think it's it's tough to
46:23
Speaker 2: get that excited about it. But again, I think as
46:25
Speaker 2: we inch closer, it'll become much bigger.
46:27
Speaker 1: We're two full years away from seeing two full seasons.
46:30
Speaker 1: I should say we're two full seasons away before they
46:33
Speaker 1: throw a ball up in the air. Climate plagerina. But
46:35
Speaker 1: they will and and again it's climate plagerina. That's why
46:38
Speaker 1: this thing's coming back. Right. It's interesting, all the all
46:41
Speaker 1: the teases we had Sacramento and others over the years,
46:45
Speaker 1: we didn't have a building. You know, we didn't have
46:47
Speaker 1: a building. And the reason the team left in the
46:48
Speaker 1: first place was because of the arena. Yeah, and soda
46:51
Speaker 1: was never gonna get off the ground. That was readily
46:53
Speaker 1: apparent because of politics in the city. That's fine, whatever,
46:56
Speaker 1: It just it's that's water to the bridge. But that's
46:59
Speaker 1: why it didn't come. All right, I want to switch
47:01
Speaker 1: gears a little bit. The World Baseball Classic finished yesterday
47:05
Speaker 1: and I watched a good chunk of it. My wife
47:08
Speaker 1: and I actually watched it during dinner last night, the
47:11
Speaker 1: last couple of innings, and it was fun. I mean
47:13
Speaker 1: that the you know, it's been a while since we
47:15
Speaker 1: had baseball on and early baseball and no, listen, I
47:18
Speaker 1: don't count spring training. I'll back to you guys that
47:21
Speaker 1: love yourself some some Cactus League play. I couldn't.
47:23
Speaker 2: I'm a huge baseball fan. I hate training, Like.
47:26
Speaker 1: There you go. It was on the game yesterday was
47:29
Speaker 1: on at Stokawama Casino and the Hawk's Peak, and I'm
47:32
Speaker 1: watching it and I'm like, God, why should I know why? Well, like,
47:36
Speaker 1: you know, Muno's and Castillo gave up bombs, I mean
47:39
Speaker 1: balls that were hit like harder than anything they've given
47:41
Speaker 1: up in their life, you know, and they're like, oh
47:43
Speaker 1: my god, is this reason to be concerned? What were
47:45
Speaker 1: they doing? They're probably doing something right, working on.
47:47
Speaker 2: Something, trying to figure out a certain page or whatever.
47:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So I don't care. And then, you know,
47:52
Speaker 1: the first part of the season outside of opening opening
47:54
Speaker 1: days cool because it's full, the house is full. Right
47:56
Speaker 1: after that, you have, you know, half full stadiums. Our
48:00
Speaker 1: last venture into baseball for US in Seattle was the
48:05
Speaker 1: excitement of the ALCS. I turned on last night. I
48:08
Speaker 1: felt like we hadn't even we hadn't left anything off.
48:11
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, this is where we picked up right
48:12
Speaker 1: when we left off last year. The enthusiasm, though, was
48:15
Speaker 1: a different level. It was crazy that is way will
48:17
Speaker 1: wins US loses. They finished second in the tournament and
48:23
Speaker 1: cal Rawley sits on the bench for the last two games.
48:27
Speaker 1: I'm shaking my head at this. I don't care what
48:30
Speaker 1: he was doing in the WBC because if you look
48:33
Speaker 1: a lot of guys weren't doing anything in the WBC
48:35
Speaker 1: for Team USA. A lot of guys, including the guys
48:38
Speaker 1: started ahead of him. I had a couple of hits
48:40
Speaker 1: and then that was it. Let's listen. This is Chuck
48:42
Speaker 1: and Buck this morning, and they brought up this topic
48:44
Speaker 1: because it goes from the WBC to how it might
48:46
Speaker 1: affect cal this year.
48:48
Speaker 8: Dro went on the shows or went on some show
48:51
Speaker 8: beforehand and was kind of asked about some of his
48:53
Speaker 8: decisions with the lineup and how basically he's playing Bregman
48:58
Speaker 8: instead of Gunner Henderson. That's not right in the hot hand,
49:01
Speaker 8: that's a righty lefty thing, right, And he ends up saying, well,
49:04
Speaker 8: the guys, we've seen what he's done at the highest level,
49:08
Speaker 8: the biggest games, talking about all the World Series, and yeah,
49:11
Speaker 8: that's true. He's been really good. He's not as good
49:14
Speaker 8: as Dunner Henderson is right now, right period.
49:16
Speaker 9: And not as hot, which was his reason for not
49:18
Speaker 9: playing yes.
49:19
Speaker 8: Buxton versus Crow, Like, I don't understand how you're going
49:25
Speaker 8: there either. I mean, if you're going based on hot
49:27
Speaker 8: Buxton hadn't had a hit either. Now he was only
49:29
Speaker 8: zero for six, but he basically says, oh, he's been hitting.
49:32
Speaker 8: You know, he's been swinging it well, having good abs,
49:34
Speaker 8: which you know how I am. I'm not caught up
49:36
Speaker 8: on the on the outcome as much as I am
49:39
Speaker 8: the actual approach, because if you have a good approach,
49:42
Speaker 8: everything's going to work out. So if you want to
49:45
Speaker 8: say that he okay, you can go there and you're
49:47
Speaker 8: not missing anything. But he quickly made a change with Buxton.
49:50
Speaker 8: I mean he pinched hit and made a swap there,
49:53
Speaker 8: and then you went with what I think is this,
49:55
Speaker 8: without a doubt, a lesser catcher all the way around
49:59
Speaker 8: offensively Offensively, I think that there's calling pitches wise. I
50:04
Speaker 8: think that there's I think you left your best, your
50:06
Speaker 8: best catcher on the bench in cal Rawly, and you
50:08
Speaker 8: didn't even bring him off when you could have brought
50:10
Speaker 8: him up, when it looked like you were just looking
50:12
Speaker 8: for one big swing here and there. Had a couple
50:14
Speaker 8: of different times you had opportunities to do that, and
50:16
Speaker 8: he didn't do it. So yeah, if I'm sitting around
50:18
Speaker 8: having a beer or whiskey with Dero. I'm gonna be
50:20
Speaker 8: I'm gonna I'm not gonna do it right now because
50:22
Speaker 8: it wound's still fresh. But next time I see him,
50:24
Speaker 8: it's going to be like, hey, I would say, put
50:27
Speaker 8: the m v P in the game in the semifinals,
50:29
Speaker 8: in the finals, but he didn't lose a game when
50:31
Speaker 8: he was playing. He lost to Italy. That was Will
50:35
Speaker 8: Smith was catching that game. And so yeah, was shame.
50:45
Speaker 3: Are we to be worried at all?
50:47
Speaker 9: I mean, okay, let me just say this, I'm not,
50:50
Speaker 9: but just for conversational purposes, I think cal gets back
50:54
Speaker 9: to Peori, gets around to the guys and hits the
50:57
Speaker 9: ground running eight days from now, and you know this
51:02
Speaker 9: is not going to impact him whatsoever. But he's not
51:05
Speaker 9: exactly used to being benched, like never. Yeah, and and
51:10
Speaker 9: I know how excited he was to be a part
51:13
Speaker 9: of this. He was one of the first guys that
51:14
Speaker 9: said yep, I'm going And he gets there and he
51:19
Speaker 9: really was told, all right, we're gonna alternate catchers, okay,
51:24
Speaker 9: and then for the championship game, we're not gonna go
51:28
Speaker 9: with our starter. We're gonna go with the backup. Because
51:31
Speaker 9: he's got three more singles. Yeah than what Cal asked.
51:35
Speaker 9: I mean, this was not a great experience for him.
51:37
Speaker 9: I mean, he might tell me differently. It doesn't matter.
51:40
Speaker 9: The result doesn't matter. I got to wear a Team
51:42
Speaker 9: USA across my chest. I had a great time with
51:44
Speaker 9: the guys. But for somebody that doesn't even like to
51:46
Speaker 9: sit one inning, much less the two biggest games of
51:51
Speaker 9: the entire USA's WBC tournament experience, he didn't even get
51:55
Speaker 9: to feel the joy of getting a hit. He had
51:58
Speaker 9: an uncharacteristic pass all in the game at a really
52:01
Speaker 9: bad time too. In the game they ended up not
52:04
Speaker 9: paying for that, but a really bad time there. He
52:07
Speaker 9: had the handshake gait. I mean internationally, nationally, people that
52:12
Speaker 9: don't know Cal, don't follow Cal, and yet are experts
52:15
Speaker 9: about Cal Rawley just killed him, killed him in social media.
52:19
Speaker 9: He even had to have a press conference where at
52:22
Speaker 9: one time he had to stop and say, I'm not
52:24
Speaker 9: taking any questions, like, I mean, that's stuff that's usually
52:28
Speaker 9: saved for senators who got caught with their underage secretary.
52:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, and here's Cal.
52:33
Speaker 9: Having to say, I'm not taking any questions about a
52:36
Speaker 9: silly handshake misunderstanding. It wasn't a great experience for Cal.
52:41
Speaker 9: Does he just brush it right under the rug? Or
52:43
Speaker 9: is this something that maybe delays a good start for
52:47
Speaker 9: him this year?
52:49
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I'm not going to try to like
52:51
Speaker 8: put myself into his mindset because I mean, playing and
52:54
Speaker 8: simple what he did last year, right, and I'm in
52:57
Speaker 8: sixty home runs. There's a thing between the years that
53:00
Speaker 8: is a toughness that very few have, right, because you're
53:04
Speaker 8: still going to struggle, You're still gonna have times where
53:07
Speaker 8: you're not feeling great, and yet you can still summon
53:11
Speaker 8: a good swing here and there. You can still find
53:12
Speaker 8: a way to run into sixty of them bad boys.
53:15
Speaker 8: So to me, I think mental toughness is obviously something
53:17
Speaker 8: that he brings. We know about his physical toughness, but
53:20
Speaker 8: I think mental toughness. But this is something my wife case,
53:23
Speaker 8: she asks, she goes, you think this is something that
53:25
Speaker 8: could affect him like upstairs, like the fact that he's
53:29
Speaker 8: not playing after she found out he wasn't playing in
53:32
Speaker 8: the finals, and that's after not playing in the semifinals.
53:35
Speaker 8: And I immediately no, And then as I started thinking
53:38
Speaker 8: about it, I started saying, when was the last time
53:41
Speaker 8: that Cal Rawly wasn't playing? In any sort of meaningful game.
53:45
Speaker 8: And I have to think that it's the first time
53:48
Speaker 8: was the game against Dominican in his life that he
53:51
Speaker 8: was not playing, and so that's not fun. I can
53:54
Speaker 8: tell you from experience I've played. And then there's a
53:57
Speaker 8: time when I went back to Double A and I
53:59
Speaker 8: was on the bench, was an All star there the
54:00
Speaker 8: year before. I go back the next year the same
54:03
Speaker 8: league and I'm starting on the bench, and it was
54:05
Speaker 8: there was a part of me that was just inside.
54:07
Speaker 8: I was humiliated. There's a part of me that just
54:09
Speaker 8: felt like, what in the hell is going on here?
54:12
Speaker 8: And you know, obviously it didn't end up lingering and
54:15
Speaker 8: sticking around for a long time, but it's a feeling.
54:17
Speaker 8: There's no doubt that he didn't have a great feeling
54:19
Speaker 8: coming out of this World Baseball Classic.
54:22
Speaker 1: There was a lot there. A great conversation with Chuck
54:24
Speaker 1: and Bucky this morning on the morning show. I just
54:26
Speaker 1: I really was.
54:27
Speaker 3: I was.
54:27
Speaker 1: Actually I got home from the gym and I was
54:30
Speaker 1: sat in the car for like seven or eight minutes
54:32
Speaker 1: listening to that entire second Radio. Yeah, it was good.
54:35
Speaker 1: It was just I thought the insight was really good.
54:37
Speaker 1: The Bucky's stuff was. I mean, I don't care if
54:38
Speaker 1: it's minor leagues or not. It means baseball. And it's like,
54:41
Speaker 1: how does it affect your confidence? I think there is.
54:44
Speaker 1: I think there could be a concern, like you're riding high,
54:48
Speaker 1: Like there would be no more confident player in baseball
54:50
Speaker 1: at the end of twenty twenty five than cal Rawley.
54:53
Speaker 1: You go to the World Baseball Classic, You're the man,
54:55
Speaker 1: You're the dude. It's like, you know, you're sitting there
54:57
Speaker 1: with Aaron Judge. You're looking at like I could have
54:59
Speaker 1: been the MVP as much as you could have been,
55:01
Speaker 1: and you look around you Also, you're in a dugout
55:03
Speaker 1: full of all stars. None of those guys are used
55:05
Speaker 1: to sitting. We all get that, but it doesn't matter.
55:08
Speaker 1: We just saw the Olympic hockey anders. There's all like
55:11
Speaker 1: studs that are healthy scratches for games, but you know
55:15
Speaker 1: you're part of the team. There is no way you
55:19
Speaker 1: can tell me that cal Rawley should be a scratch
55:21
Speaker 1: for two straight games now, Like there is no reason,
55:24
Speaker 1: but this dipstick manager did that. And that's where we are.
55:29
Speaker 1: I like, like Chuck said, and Bucky said, you know,
55:34
Speaker 1: probably won't be any kind of residual effect, but we
55:36
Speaker 1: don't know that there's no more cerebral. I have confidence,
55:41
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. I'm seeing things at the plate. I'm
55:43
Speaker 1: seeing you know, the baseball, baseball and golfer that way,
55:47
Speaker 1: good swing thoughts, good vibes. Only you have to have that.
55:52
Speaker 1: And and you know, there's two things here that I
55:54
Speaker 1: think are true. One, the US lost in part because
55:57
Speaker 1: of their manager. On wait a second, have we heard
55:59
Speaker 1: that anyway? The US? Oh boy, oh my, Monday coming
56:05
Speaker 1: up on Monday. The US lost in part because of
56:10
Speaker 1: their manager. And number two, you know, there could be
56:15
Speaker 1: there could be some lasting effect. Nobody expects him to
56:19
Speaker 1: hit sixty one home runs again, No, but for this
56:22
Speaker 1: team to be successful based on last year, and you
56:25
Speaker 1: know what the roster looks like, they probably need him
56:27
Speaker 1: to hit forty plus.
56:28
Speaker 2: It can't be an outlier season, so to speak, right,
56:31
Speaker 2: that can't be.
56:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's and I'm not saying this because I'm not insinuator.
56:35
Speaker 1: There's anything in terms of performance annancing here, but it
56:37
Speaker 1: can't be Brady Anderson, right, You can't have fifty one
56:40
Speaker 1: year and ten the next, right.
56:41
Speaker 2: Right, which he won't like. Let's be honest, I think
56:45
Speaker 2: the jail run out, he'll run into a bunch. Yeah,
56:47
Speaker 2: that's just the way it is. Yeah. And like the
56:49
Speaker 2: general thought is he's going to have regression. I think
56:51
Speaker 2: most people understand that anyone who hits sixty home runs
56:53
Speaker 2: is bound to have some regression. Yeah, but it's how
56:57
Speaker 2: much is it? Is he still a fifty home run guy?
56:59
Speaker 2: Is is he go down to maybe the thirties to
57:01
Speaker 2: forties and then you're gonna have to find out a
57:03
Speaker 2: lot more runs because that's that's a lot of runs
57:06
Speaker 2: that are not on the board anymore.
57:07
Speaker 1: So no, I know, that's that's what it is. All Right,
57:10
Speaker 1: we'll take a break, come back. We'll check the text
57:11
Speaker 1: line four nine four five one that is to come
57:13
Speaker 1: a dodge text line. We'll do that next NY three
57:15
Speaker 1: point three k FM.
57:20
Speaker 4: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now
57:24
Speaker 4: back to Ian Furnez, powered by Seattle's Closest sports book, Snow,
57:29
Speaker 4: Qualmi Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three point
57:33
Speaker 4: three kJ R FM.
57:39
Speaker 10: I think people aren't very exciting because it's been so long.
57:43
Speaker 10: Those of us that we're young kids in the nineties
57:47
Speaker 10: and early two thousands, are now adults with kids of
57:50
Speaker 10: our own, and our kids have fallen in love with
57:54
Speaker 10: other sports like we did with basketball back in the day.
57:58
Speaker 10: It's unfortunate, but hopefully happens.
58:01
Speaker 7: Hey and local sports guy here with the quick update
58:04
Speaker 7: on the Mariners in the WBC. No, Mark de Rosso
58:07
Speaker 7: wasn't wearing a dirty blindfold when he sat cal rawly for.
58:09
Speaker 1: Two days in a row.
58:10
Speaker 7: Rumor has it he thought it was indifferent. Will Smith
58:13
Speaker 7: from the City of Los Angeles playing catcher.
58:16
Speaker 4: Also, Jerry Depoto was.
58:17
Speaker 7: Seen running through the streets of Seattle wearing a Venezuelan flag.
58:21
Speaker 1: Kind of ironic because he lets more Z go.
58:23
Speaker 7: But don't worry, he'll bring him back for the third
58:25
Speaker 7: time in a row with.
58:26
Speaker 1: The trade deadline this year.
58:28
Speaker 9: We'll catch up with you soon.
58:29
Speaker 7: Thanks being.
58:33
Speaker 1: Hey Mizaro pitch huh right, Yeah, I kind of thought
58:38
Speaker 1: they used him too early, to be honest with you. Yeah,
58:39
Speaker 1: I did too, because they start run out of leverage
58:42
Speaker 1: arms and they didn't.
58:46
Speaker 2: They didn't have to worry about that.
58:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, that's a good point. They're playing the JV
58:51
Speaker 1: team apparently. Yeah, there's a lot of people chiming in
58:54
Speaker 1: on that. We'll get to that in a second. Let
58:56
Speaker 1: me get to the uh let's get it killed text
58:58
Speaker 1: on the Sonics for a second. Let's see let's see sonics.
59:06
Speaker 1: This is from Nick. This is an interesting one. The
59:07
Speaker 1: Morning Show detailed how teams are hamstrung from the get
59:10
Speaker 1: go eighty percent of salary cap, first couple of years,
59:11
Speaker 1: exclusion from first picking drafts, et cetera. Two years to
59:14
Speaker 1: get the team, four years til we get a full
59:15
Speaker 1: fledged team. I find the idea that to have to
59:18
Speaker 1: eat two years of crap annoying. So we're not exactly
59:23
Speaker 1: sure what the what the what the rules will be
59:27
Speaker 1: for expansion. The last time there was an expansion in
59:29
Speaker 1: the NBA of two thousand and four is that it
59:30
Speaker 1: was a Charlotte Bobcats. They were given the number four
59:33
Speaker 1: pick as part of their expansion agreement. They traded up
59:36
Speaker 1: to get number two. But according to that premise, which
59:41
Speaker 1: is still in the new collective bargaining agreement. But again,
59:44
Speaker 1: this was with one team. There's two now. The expansion
59:48
Speaker 1: teams must, according to the current Collective Bardiy agreement, have
59:51
Speaker 1: a salary cap that is sixty six and two thirds
59:53
Speaker 1: percent of the cap level. Their salary floor is ninety
59:56
Speaker 1: percent of that that climbs to eighty percent of salary
59:58
Speaker 1: cap in the franchise and second year and ninety percent
1:00:01
Speaker 1: of that is the floor. So you're working at sixty
1:00:04
Speaker 1: six percent cap level first year, eighty percent the second year.
1:00:08
Speaker 2: Yee, yeah, I don't know.
1:00:13
Speaker 1: Let me just say this. Yeah, that's also based on Charlotte,
1:00:18
Speaker 1: and that was twenty two years.
1:00:19
Speaker 3: Ago, right.
1:00:22
Speaker 1: The challenge is I didn't even think about it until
1:00:24
Speaker 1: I started people started texting in about it today. Four nine,
1:00:27
Speaker 1: four to five one. You know. The challenges is actually
1:00:29
Speaker 1: is the challenge is the fact that there's two teams
1:00:32
Speaker 1: doing an expansion, right, Like there's competition who gets the
1:00:36
Speaker 1: higher pick well, and and like there's like teams can
1:00:42
Speaker 1: protect Again, this is according to what happened twenty two
1:00:45
Speaker 1: years ago. Eight players. So most of the time I
1:00:50
Speaker 1: think you have ten to twelve on one way contracts.
1:00:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of men, roster players or.
1:00:56
Speaker 1: Guys with really bad contracts that you don't want those
1:00:59
Speaker 1: as much. Because we just talked about I'm sure there's
1:01:01
Speaker 1: gonna be saying if there's if they're truly are salary
1:01:03
Speaker 1: carapt restrictions again, then that's hard.
1:01:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we're seeing it firsthand with the crack
1:01:09
Speaker 2: and now how long it's taken them to kind of
1:01:11
Speaker 2: really get an NHL ready roster. I mean it's a
1:01:14
Speaker 2: little different.
1:01:15
Speaker 1: Obviously, it's a little different because the NBA draft, you
1:01:18
Speaker 1: can draft a guy that changes your franchise with one
1:01:21
Speaker 1: draft pick, right NHL you can sort.
1:01:25
Speaker 2: Of it's rare.
1:01:27
Speaker 1: It's more rare, really rare, like celebrating it's like the
1:01:30
Speaker 1: first pick on Schaeffer, but Dard. But that list is
1:01:35
Speaker 1: pretty damn short. Yes, and you still need five o
1:01:38
Speaker 1: four other guys on the ice at one time in
1:01:40
Speaker 1: seventeen others on the roster, so yeah, it's a little
1:01:42
Speaker 1: bit different.
1:01:43
Speaker 2: And the best players only play a third of the game, so.
1:01:45
Speaker 1: Right right now, well, best players in the NBA played
1:01:47
Speaker 1: about a third and.
1:01:48
Speaker 2: Season that's all another conversation. Yeah, regarding what Nick was
1:01:52
Speaker 2: saying there, I don't know. Maybe maybe maybe it's just
1:01:55
Speaker 2: me not being a huge NBA fan, But I don't
1:01:57
Speaker 2: know if the lack of you know, full on excite
1:02:00
Speaker 2: is a lot to do with the success level that
1:02:02
Speaker 2: the team will have in the first couple of years,
1:02:04
Speaker 2: because I think most people are resigned to the fact
1:02:06
Speaker 2: that this team is not going to be a championship
1:02:08
Speaker 2: contender out of the game. Like it's just not and
1:02:10
Speaker 2: that's that's just how it goes in the NBA. I
1:02:13
Speaker 2: just think it's just interest in the NBA as a whole.
1:02:16
Speaker 2: It has died a lot in this in this region and.
1:02:19
Speaker 1: In this region. Yeah yeah, yeah, because nationwide's still pretty good,
1:02:22
Speaker 1: yeah it is, absolutely, but but in this region, all right,
1:02:25
Speaker 1: four nine four five one. Cal didn't play in the
1:02:27
Speaker 1: semifinal five because they won, but not to have at
1:02:29
Speaker 1: least pinch hit in the later innings that final. Durosa
1:02:31
Speaker 1: should never wear a U s A on his jersey ever.
1:02:34
Speaker 6: Again, a lot of people.
1:02:36
Speaker 2: Crushing he's gonna get crushed for I mean he's getting
1:02:38
Speaker 2: crushed everywhere, even people. I mean you heard from Bucky,
1:02:41
Speaker 2: but like they have him on in their show every
1:02:44
Speaker 2: couple times a year, so like it's he's not safe
1:02:48
Speaker 2: anyway right now.
1:02:50
Speaker 1: So this is a really this is a really good
1:02:53
Speaker 1: text from the two oh six. I was in my
1:02:55
Speaker 1: twenties when the Howard Schultz, the NBA and local government
1:02:58
Speaker 1: screwed us over to create a team with the dumbest,
1:02:59
Speaker 1: dam and least colors in the league since then, broken promises,
1:03:02
Speaker 1: moving goal post a noticeably worsening product on the court
1:03:05
Speaker 1: of damping my enthusiasm for a team coming back. However,
1:03:09
Speaker 1: I'm now forty three, have three small boys, and my
1:03:12
Speaker 1: oldest was extremely excited to hear that we're likly to
1:03:15
Speaker 1: get a team. Wow. So for that I'm really happy.
1:03:19
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can afford tickets. Occasionally, I'll just have to
1:03:22
Speaker 1: ignore the bad taste in my mouth for the sake
1:03:24
Speaker 1: of the next generation of Sonic fans. Yeah, I think
1:03:27
Speaker 1: he just nailed it. I've been a lot of it
1:03:28
Speaker 1: will feel that way. Yeah, Yeah, I've been a lot
1:03:31
Speaker 1: of people.
1:03:31
Speaker 2: I'm excited for my son to be able to enjoy
1:03:34
Speaker 2: NBA basketball for his entire life.
1:03:35
Speaker 1: That's pretty I mean, I'll never forgive the NBA for
1:03:38
Speaker 1: not allowing my son to enjoy it here as well. Yeah,
1:03:41
Speaker 1: but you know, now we move on. Time to move on.
1:03:44
Speaker 1: Fifty two y here's different. One fifty two years old
1:03:46
Speaker 1: was still passing the NBA. Not having a team player's
1:03:48
Speaker 1: root four helped me lose interest, adding to my apathy.
1:03:51
Speaker 1: It's from the four two five, two six. I'm fifty
1:03:53
Speaker 1: three years old, lived and died with the songs. Haven't
1:03:55
Speaker 1: watched the NBA game since they left. Middle finger word,
1:04:00
Speaker 1: I'll never go back.
1:04:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, I maybe I wasn't as close to it
1:04:04
Speaker 2: as I was a little younger when it happened. I
1:04:06
Speaker 2: was still a pretty big NBA fan for a pretty
1:04:09
Speaker 2: significant amount of time, even after the Sonics left. I
1:04:11
Speaker 2: think during the twenty tens, like the Steph Lebron Spurs
1:04:15
Speaker 2: KD like that's that was really good NBA. I watched
1:04:18
Speaker 2: it all the time, especially during the playoffs, and it
1:04:21
Speaker 2: just feels like the last five or six years has
1:04:23
Speaker 2: been like, Eh, it's not the same. I don't know,
1:04:26
Speaker 2: I don't know.
1:04:28
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people here. I guess I'm gonna
1:04:32
Speaker 1: generalize this. There's a lot of people texting in about people,
1:04:34
Speaker 1: you know, hosting people in our station, telling people, you know,
1:04:37
Speaker 1: how they should feel, and all that kind of stuff
1:04:39
Speaker 1: and all that. Everyone's gonna feel how they want to feel, right,
1:04:42
Speaker 1: and everyone has their own feelings towards the NBA and
1:04:45
Speaker 1: what happened. I do believe though, when it comes back,
1:04:48
Speaker 1: when we have that official announcement, that some of those
1:04:54
Speaker 1: there will be some forgiving going on. Yeah, And I
1:04:56
Speaker 1: think people will be able to move on, I think
1:04:57
Speaker 1: until it actually happens and it's tangible. Understand that. But
1:05:01
Speaker 1: if there are people that just are like, man, I'm
1:05:03
Speaker 1: out and it's gonna take a while to win me back.
1:05:07
Speaker 1: Two things. One, you'll have two years. Right, You're gonna
1:05:11
Speaker 1: have two years to get one back in the sense
1:05:14
Speaker 1: because for two years we'll watch the NBA knowing that
1:05:18
Speaker 1: we have a team coming. And I mean because there's
1:05:21
Speaker 1: gonna be two full seasons before the NBA comes back
1:05:24
Speaker 1: to Seattle. So maybe you'll warm up to it. For
1:05:26
Speaker 1: those of you that won't be excited or say you're
1:05:28
Speaker 1: not going to be excited, Hey, man, that's your prerogative.
1:05:31
Speaker 1: You'll have two years to warm up to it, and
1:05:33
Speaker 1: maybe that's when the healing truly begins. Maybe this summer
1:05:36
Speaker 1: when they say it's coming back, that's when the healing
1:05:39
Speaker 1: truly truly begins. I think. Was it our boy Bento
1:05:43
Speaker 1: did the thing that he sent us the other day?
1:05:45
Speaker 1: Is there eleven cities in the NBA or that have NBA, NHL,
1:05:49
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball in the NFL.
1:05:50
Speaker 2: Right, I think that's what it was.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: Eleven.
1:05:51
Speaker 2: Yes, the has the hall for the big, big major
1:05:54
Speaker 2: for it.
1:05:55
Speaker 1: That we need to be that. Yes, right, I mean don't.
1:05:58
Speaker 2: We media market twelve? So you would think we're the
1:06:01
Speaker 2: next team, you know.
1:06:03
Speaker 1: I think I was just going through that text chain
1:06:06
Speaker 1: has a lot.
1:06:07
Speaker 2: I'm looking. I'm looking New York.
1:06:10
Speaker 1: LA, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington, d C, the Bay Area, Minnesota.
1:06:16
Speaker 1: We will be we will jump in there. What does
1:06:19
Speaker 1: Detroit not have? Detroit has it? No, I think he's
1:06:26
Speaker 1: talking to Big four. Oh he's talking you know. Is
1:06:28
Speaker 1: he talking to WNBA two? Yeah, yeah, because good Boston
1:06:34
Speaker 1: has it. So there's five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
1:06:42
Speaker 11: Eleven, twelve, twelve that would have everything. Yeah, we would
1:06:51
Speaker 11: be number twelve, would have everything all four major sports.
1:06:55
Speaker 1: That's who we are, boys and girls. That's who we
1:06:57
Speaker 1: need to be. And then add in in addition to
1:07:00
Speaker 1: the Big Four, add in the MLS, the w n
1:07:04
Speaker 1: b A, the NWSL, and the p WHL. Right, that's
1:07:09
Speaker 1: who we need to be a major league sports parking
1:07:11
Speaker 1: and this is the only thing missing right now? All right,
1:07:13
Speaker 1: Softy Joints is coming up next.
1:07:22
Speaker 12: There he is ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
1:07:28
Speaker 3: Would they be annoying?
1:07:29
Speaker 12: By the way, if I did a whole show like this,
1:07:32
Speaker 12: you get tired of doing it. For I don't think
1:07:34
Speaker 12: I would, but the audience would for sure.
1:07:38
Speaker 1: I heard a rumor today that you've got Gonzaga going
1:07:40
Speaker 1: all the way in your bracket.
1:07:41
Speaker 2: Is that true?
1:07:41
Speaker 3: I heard a.
1:07:42
Speaker 12: Rumor Banana rama, fana, Okay, I got you ah, Gonzaga
1:07:47
Speaker 12: going all over. That is called the softy reverse jinks,
1:07:51
Speaker 12: my friend. Because I don't think I've ever correctly picked.
1:07:55
Speaker 3: A national champion in the bracket. No, I'm sure I
1:07:58
Speaker 3: have somewhere somehow down the road.
1:08:00
Speaker 1: But I feel like I see in the one that
1:08:02
Speaker 1: we all do together, the gas Man Memorial one.
1:08:05
Speaker 3: I gotta fill that out tonight.
1:08:07
Speaker 1: Gas Man is still alive, his wife pointed out.
1:08:10
Speaker 12: Correct, Yeah, we call it the gas Man memorial Pool.
1:08:13
Speaker 12: We want him to know what it feels like, what
1:08:16
Speaker 12: people will say about him.
1:08:17
Speaker 3: When he's gone.
1:08:19
Speaker 12: Everybody should have a little bit of a preview of
1:08:21
Speaker 12: what their legacy will be like, right.
1:08:22
Speaker 1: And now we now gas knows what we say.
1:08:25
Speaker 3: It's a bunch of nothing.
1:08:29
Speaker 1: He's memorialized in a pool with KJR alums and all stars,
1:08:34
Speaker 1: is what I got.
1:08:35
Speaker 3: I am in six brackets right now.
1:08:37
Speaker 12: Yes, but I will tell you this that five of
1:08:40
Speaker 12: them are with the same betting pool, if you will,
1:08:44
Speaker 12: all right, I just did the auto generate your pick thing.
1:08:47
Speaker 12: I was too lazy to go game by game, so
1:08:50
Speaker 12: I just clicked on the auto generate button, put in
1:08:52
Speaker 12: my total for the championship game, and I was done.
1:08:54
Speaker 1: I'm out. The question is will you beat your wife
1:08:58
Speaker 1: this year? Will she be ahead or below you in
1:09:00
Speaker 1: the standings?
1:09:01
Speaker 3: She's usually way way way behind, way by.
1:09:04
Speaker 1: Okay, but she doesn't for some reason. I feel like
1:09:07
Speaker 1: I see an early maybe it's an early GENA surge,
1:09:10
Speaker 1: and then it drops off. Yeah.
1:09:12
Speaker 3: Usually, Well, you know what her new You know what
1:09:14
Speaker 3: her new nickname is?
1:09:14
Speaker 1: By the way, right, my wife, I don't want to know, buddy.
1:09:17
Speaker 12: Well, I'm not gonna tell you about that nickname. Okay,
1:09:20
Speaker 12: what is it that stays between us?
1:09:22
Speaker 1: Pal?
1:09:23
Speaker 3: We call her postseason Gina?
1:09:25
Speaker 1: Now you know why, because she.
1:09:29
Speaker 3: Only shows up from the place.
1:09:32
Speaker 12: You in her regular season games she went to last
