Speaker 6: it did the day before. He he didn't think I
1:38
Speaker 6: had anything to do with that. Yeah, well, how about
1:42
Speaker 6: the nerve on that guy?
1:43
Speaker 2: Yeah?
1:43
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, that's horny, that's horn Yeah about that. I
1:47
Speaker 6: mean ten years of hot takes about the Seahawks and
1:50
Speaker 6: he doesn't think I contributed to our championship. I mean, like,
1:54
Speaker 6: who else has an opinion out there? Yes, off your
1:57
Speaker 6: high horse?
1:57
Speaker 4: Right, God night, guys, what actually goes on?

Speaker 6: championship experience.
2:14
Speaker 2: Tomorrow we will celebrate.
2:16
Speaker 6: It as a giant group of champions here in the
2:20
Speaker 6: streets of Seattle and joining us on the program today
2:24
Speaker 6: right off the bat. Rarely do we give you a
2:26
Speaker 6: guest right off the bat. But you know something, this
2:29
Speaker 6: guy is an active, excellent NFL media member. He's a
2:34
Speaker 6: historian of the sport and he always has his eye
2:37
Speaker 6: on the future of the sport as well. And I
2:39
Speaker 6: thought he was the perfect guest to have on today
2:42
Speaker 6: as we come to grips with how to remain champions
2:46
Speaker 6: here in Seattle, joining us from CBS Sports, it is
2:50
Speaker 6: Charles Davis. Good morning, Charles, Good morning guys.
2:54
Speaker 1: Really nice to talk with you.
2:56
Speaker 3: And one quick thing, Yes, I would call Buddy and
3:01
Speaker 3: the city and say, hey, I want your tapes from
3:07
Speaker 3: the post Super Bowls the Chiefs won.
3:10
Speaker 1: And here if you were taking credit or not. Yeah,
3:12
Speaker 1: I guess my guess is that he was.
3:15
Speaker 6: I'm thinking I'm thinking he's still trying to remind us
3:19
Speaker 6: in Seattle that is this is just one title with
3:22
Speaker 6: this particular team, and that wake me when you've won three.
3:27
Speaker 6: I think that was his way of saying it just
3:29
Speaker 6: being nasty, Charles, That's typical of that guy.
3:33
Speaker 1: Listen, That's just that's just the way we are, you know.
3:35
Speaker 1: It's just how we interact.
3:37
Speaker 3: That's that's our love language.
3:39
Speaker 6: And precisely, well, it's great to have you on, Always
3:44
Speaker 6: great to have you on. And uh, And of course,
3:47
Speaker 6: like I said in the intro, I mean, well, I
3:49
Speaker 6: have a lot of things that I want to discuss today,
3:51
Speaker 6: and I was trying to think of the perfect guess
3:53
Speaker 6: a historian, somebody who actively covers the National Football League.
3:58
Speaker 6: And also, I mean you're draft coverage. You always got
4:01
Speaker 6: an eye on the future. And so those are all
4:03
Speaker 6: things we're gonna discuss today about our Seattle Seahawks. But
4:07
Speaker 6: let's start with the present. We won the Super Bowl.
4:11
Speaker 6: What did you think of that performance Charles by the
4:13
Speaker 6: Seahawks on Sunday?
4:16
Speaker 3: Every word E readjective that you would use on the
4:19
Speaker 3: positive side would immediately come to mind. This was one
4:23
Speaker 3: where going into it, sensis that Seattle felt very confident,
4:31
Speaker 3: not boisterously, so quietly we are the better team.
4:38
Speaker 1: We just need to play our game, play to our potential.
4:41
Speaker 3: All the cliches that you run into, right, everything that
4:44
Speaker 3: after a while the non.
4:45
Speaker 1: Sports fan nods off because I've heard this before.
4:48
Speaker 3: But then they just went out and executed because they
4:51
Speaker 3: were so confident what they were doing. They didn't feel
4:53
Speaker 3: the need, right, they didn't have to play outside of themselves, right,
4:57
Speaker 3: they didn't need a heroic effort to make it happen,
5:00
Speaker 3: and they just needed down. And what I thought was
5:02
Speaker 3: very interesting was the.
5:05
Speaker 1: We're all, we've got, we're all where you need chap
5:08
Speaker 1: that became new England's did I not?
5:14
Speaker 3: We thought like I thought, That's what he used to
5:17
Speaker 3: his dv's all the time. We're all we all were
5:20
Speaker 3: need where we need, so here we are. But that
5:24
Speaker 3: team was just dominant offensive line, defensive line. You thought
5:27
Speaker 3: there was a decided advantage, and boy was pointed that
5:30
Speaker 3: play out both sides.
5:31
Speaker 1: Of the lot, and then it just took off from there.
5:34
Speaker 8: Guys, Charles, was there anything that was overly surprising or
5:38
Speaker 8: was the I mean, it was pretty dominant, maybe even
5:41
Speaker 8: more so than the score indicated at the end. I mean,
5:45
Speaker 8: was there anything that was surprising to you about the
5:47
Speaker 8: way in which Seattle went there and kind of put
5:50
Speaker 8: it on them?
5:52
Speaker 3: I think that if I've taken New England's standpoint on it,
5:57
Speaker 3: just their a building in Seattle's ability to run the
5:59
Speaker 3: football with such consistency. Remember New England had shut down
6:03
Speaker 3: everyone running the ball just like Seattle had.
6:05
Speaker 1: So New England didn't go into it the idea that
6:07
Speaker 1: they were just gonna get totally overwhelmed.
6:10
Speaker 3: But the offensive line created a number of stalemates.
6:14
Speaker 1: And then as the game went on, they started winning
6:16
Speaker 1: all the battles of the lone of scrimmage.
6:18
Speaker 3: But for Kenneth Walker, the groove he was in in
6:20
Speaker 3: the playoffs, the stalemate was enough and the patience that
6:23
Speaker 3: he ran with. Remember how Le'Veon Bell used to use
6:27
Speaker 3: that hesitation in the backfield to just go We all
6:30
Speaker 3: just went crazy on that move. Kenneth Walker didn't do
6:34
Speaker 3: the hesitation as much as a true example of patients
6:38
Speaker 3: and vision.
6:39
Speaker 1: It had to be three or four runs right as
6:42
Speaker 1: you recall, where it was.
6:43
Speaker 3: Just like wait for it, wait for it, go and
6:48
Speaker 3: when he went. I think that was probably one big spot.
6:54
Speaker 3: I think other than that, the rest of it probably was.
6:58
Speaker 3: And I'll say it very to sickly hear Mike McDonald's
7:03
Speaker 3: adjustment of extra pressure as opposed to the regular season
7:08
Speaker 3: and most of the playoffs where you just bought it,
7:10
Speaker 3: brought your front line out him. Remember during the season
7:14
Speaker 3: he blitzed at a rate of somewhere around twenty seven
7:16
Speaker 3: to twenty eight percent.
7:18
Speaker 1: It felt like seventy percent. Sunday night, He's.
7:21
Speaker 6: Like, you know something, this is flat out sick them.
7:25
Speaker 1: Let's go. We are in great shape. Let's go get them.
7:28
Speaker 1: And boy did it payoff.
7:30
Speaker 3: And what Witherspoon did as a blitzer was phenomenal, especially
7:34
Speaker 3: that last one with Nuosu intercepting it out of the
7:37
Speaker 3: air because he matched the hand of the quarterback.
7:41
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about textbook training tape.
7:44
Speaker 3: The blitz, he gets to the quarterback, he takes his
7:48
Speaker 3: left hand to match it to the throwing hand of
7:50
Speaker 3: Drake May gets the wrist so he can't release the football.
7:54
Speaker 3: It pops in the air and the wos who goes
7:56
Speaker 3: the other way. That is a clip and save if
7:59
Speaker 3: I've ever seen one in terms of blitzing and taking
8:02
Speaker 3: out a quarterback about to throw the ball.
8:04
Speaker 9: Uh.
8:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, we had several conversations yesterday. I mean you
8:08
Speaker 6: could have made a case for Witherspoon being the MVP
8:11
Speaker 6: of that game. Yeah, Super Bowl sixty. Charles Davis is
8:14
Speaker 6: with us, of course from NFL on CBS. We've seen
8:17
Speaker 6: him on NFL Network as well, and we love having
8:20
Speaker 6: Charles on and today seemed like a good day. And
8:23
Speaker 6: now I'm going to tap into that historian part of
8:25
Speaker 6: Charles Davis because this is something that I brought up
8:28
Speaker 6: the last I don't know seven shows that we've done.
8:32
Speaker 6: And here we sit in twenty twenty six with a team,
8:35
Speaker 6: a young team that is coming off a dominant super
8:39
Speaker 6: Bowl performance and seems to have a very bright future.
8:43
Speaker 6: But here in Seattle, that happened once before, back in
8:45
Speaker 6: twenty thirteen, a young team with a young, controlled quarterback
8:49
Speaker 6: coming off a dominant Super Bowl performance, And here in Seattle,
8:53
Speaker 6: we feel like that team should have won multiple titles
8:57
Speaker 6: and they ended up only winning the one. I would
8:59
Speaker 6: add ask you, Charles, this twenty twenty sixteen versus that
9:03
Speaker 6: twenty thirteen team with Russell and the Lob, how did
9:07
Speaker 6: they compare in your opinion? Why might it be different
9:10
Speaker 6: this time around than it was only winning the one
9:14
Speaker 6: title with that previous group.
9:17
Speaker 2: I love the.
9:18
Speaker 1: Question, and I'm gonna take it this way.
9:21
Speaker 3: It's favorable for this group because you're not coming because
9:25
Speaker 3: you can't take away what happened the second go round,
9:29
Speaker 3: which was on the doorstep of history, winning two in
9:32
Speaker 3: a row, up ten in the fourth quarter with eight
9:36
Speaker 3: minutes to go, throwing the ball instead of running it,
9:40
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, Right, Malcolm Butler happens. So I can't
9:44
Speaker 3: take that away because I don't. I'm not sure that
9:47
Speaker 3: one play change the fortunes of a franchise more in
9:50
Speaker 3: the course of NFL history than Malcolm Butler's play, and
9:54
Speaker 3: I know that sounds like hypurble.
9:57
Speaker 1: The reason I've not done as confident.
10:00
Speaker 3: True, But the reason I feel like I can stand
10:04
Speaker 3: in that conversation with any other football historian is that
10:09
Speaker 3: game wounded the psyche of that defense in terms.
10:14
Speaker 1: Of trusting their quarterback and their head coach to the.
10:17
Speaker 3: Point that they could still be good at times great,
10:22
Speaker 3: but they could never get past it enough to put
10:25
Speaker 3: them back in a position where they should have been
10:28
Speaker 3: because that team wasn't old that team was ready to
10:32
Speaker 3: break up. They went to Hawaii and said that they
10:35
Speaker 3: all hugged it out and what have you, and they
10:38
Speaker 3: didn't defense.
10:39
Speaker 1: To Harbor to major grudge.
10:41
Speaker 3: You're hearing about it now, Marshawn Lynch talking about we
10:44
Speaker 3: never looked at Pete the same way because the trust
10:46
Speaker 3: factor was broken. It's an all bubble to the surface
10:49
Speaker 3: this week, even more so than even happened to past.
10:53
Speaker 3: Richard Sherman can't stop taking shots at Russ no matter
10:55
Speaker 3: what he does, so that changes the fortunes. That's why
11:00
Speaker 3: I have much more bullish on this group, because you
11:04
Speaker 3: don't have any of that at this moment, and I'm
11:06
Speaker 3: not sure that we have the defensive personalities of twenty
11:13
Speaker 3: thirteen fourteen. You know how dominant they were players, Yeah,
11:18
Speaker 3: they're even more.
11:18
Speaker 1: Forceful as personalities.
11:21
Speaker 3: And that was That's a difference between that team and
11:24
Speaker 3: this team as I see it. I'm not saying that
11:26
Speaker 3: you shrinking violence on this team. The Dark Skides got
11:29
Speaker 3: their people, But I'm gonna rely on you guys and
11:33
Speaker 3: tell me if I'm right or wrong.
11:35
Speaker 10: No, that's some group, now, I mean, I mean, this
11:41
Speaker 10: team is is young, This team is set up great
11:45
Speaker 10: cap wise, the right guys are under control all of
11:49
Speaker 10: that sort of thing.
11:50
Speaker 6: And obviously they they peaked, they just kept getting better
11:54
Speaker 6: and better this past year. But I would say the
11:57
Speaker 6: biggest difference is just what you highlight, and that's being
12:01
Speaker 6: an outsider to Seattle, and that is that this group
12:05
Speaker 6: loves each other, loves playing together, has rallied around their
12:09
Speaker 6: head coach think he walks on water basically, And so yeah,
12:13
Speaker 6: I think that's the big difference. And I'm pretty sure
12:16
Speaker 6: that people around here kind of, even if they don't
12:19
Speaker 6: want to say it out loud, kind of have this
12:21
Speaker 6: feeling like all right, here we go again, and I
12:23
Speaker 6: think this time it's going to be different.
12:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me just say one other thing, because for
12:29
Speaker 3: the reaction to be what it was.
12:31
Speaker 1: Post game of the Malcolm Butler play.
12:36
Speaker 3: I think the guys liked Pete, trusted Pete the whole deal,
12:39
Speaker 3: but there was already the bubblings about Russ had to
12:43
Speaker 3: have been all right, yeah, for them to be that forceful,
12:47
Speaker 3: because otherwise they just would have been a shock to
12:49
Speaker 3: their system, Like they would have been like the Patriots,
12:51
Speaker 3: like what just happened.
12:52
Speaker 1: Here, right, and instead of it turning to anger, it
12:56
Speaker 1: just would have been like dang, that's bad luck. But
13:00
Speaker 1: they already thought Russ was being coddled.
13:02
Speaker 3: They already thought he was a teacher's pet, whatever terms
13:05
Speaker 3: you want to use, it had to have been in there,
13:08
Speaker 3: and then we learned about it.
13:10
Speaker 1: We didn't really know about it, but we.
13:12
Speaker 3: Learned about it after that play happened. I think Sam
13:16
Speaker 3: Donald's story is so much different that Sam Donald is
13:20
Speaker 3: really like every man, dude, you've been kicked.
13:23
Speaker 1: Around four other teams. I can relate to that.
13:27
Speaker 2: That's my guy.
13:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's hung he hung in there, he you know.
13:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was the big dude got clobbered off of
13:35
Speaker 3: his pedestal and battled his way back.
13:38
Speaker 1: I can work with that guy.
13:40
Speaker 3: So I think it's just a different mindset going into it.
13:43
Speaker 1: And I hate to feel like I'm dumping on Russ
13:45
Speaker 1: really not.
13:46
Speaker 3: I'm just talking about what I perceived how the players
13:49
Speaker 3: felt about him, and that was the unfortunate part about
13:53
Speaker 3: what could.
13:53
Speaker 1: Have been a long sustained reign because to.
13:57
Speaker 3: Me, I think that team left at least two titles
14:00
Speaker 3: on the table, and that's the unfortunate part.
14:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, Charles, I mean, obviously, the way the NFL is
14:08
Speaker 8: set up, it's, you know, when you're good, you have
14:10
Speaker 8: people that want to get paid, and therefore, with the cap,
14:13
Speaker 8: you can't keep everybody. And yet I suppose probably one
14:17
Speaker 8: of the bigger topics that we will discuss in the
14:20
Speaker 8: coming months is what are they gonna do with ken Walker?
14:22
Speaker 8: I mean, on the heels of Zach Charbonny blowing his
14:25
Speaker 8: knee out, then all of a sudden, all of the
14:27
Speaker 8: running game is kind of thrust onto his shoulders and
14:31
Speaker 8: he performs at an MVP level. And I mean Sam
14:35
Speaker 8: Darnold showed in the NFC Championship game that if you
14:37
Speaker 8: need him, he can take the team and put him
14:39
Speaker 8: on his shoulders and in the Super Bowl you didn't
14:41
Speaker 8: need that based on how the defense is playing and
14:43
Speaker 8: how ken Walker was running.
14:45
Speaker 2: But put your GM hat on.
14:46
Speaker 8: Is is ken Walker a big priority or is this
14:50
Speaker 8: one where he's gonna go test the free agent waters
14:53
Speaker 8: and and you hope that you can find something to
14:55
Speaker 8: fill that gap if he doesn't come back.
14:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think is much more of the latter. I
14:59
Speaker 1: think Schneider is going to make sure ken Walker and.
15:03
Speaker 3: As people know that they value him, but he's gonna
15:06
Speaker 3: have a number, and I don't think John Schneider is
15:08
Speaker 3: going to change that number. I think this is what
15:11
Speaker 3: it's going to be. And I think we're all probably
15:15
Speaker 3: at the stage of it is really tired to talk about.
15:19
Speaker 6: Well, you know, running back.
15:21
Speaker 1: You know it's a devalued position.
15:23
Speaker 3: We know how important it is the teams that make
15:25
Speaker 3: big runs. The running back is important. Even on teams
15:30
Speaker 3: that didn't have thousand yard runners. When you got to
15:32
Speaker 3: the playoffs, the running game was vital. It meant something.
15:36
Speaker 3: So we know that the runners are valuable. But we
15:39
Speaker 3: also know that this world, as my grandfather used to say,
15:44
Speaker 3: it's lousy with runners, which means there's a whole lot
15:47
Speaker 3: of them out there, right, So no offense to ken Walker,
15:52
Speaker 3: love what he's done, love all of that. I don't
15:55
Speaker 3: know they're gonna break the bank even for a Super
15:56
Speaker 3: Bowl MVP.
15:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, super bullet.
16:01
Speaker 3: If it should have been a defensive player, yeah all right,
16:05
Speaker 3: it should have.
16:05
Speaker 1: Been someone on defense.
16:06
Speaker 3: No offense at ken Walker, but they just couldn't break
16:09
Speaker 3: out which guy to give it to. So ken Walker
16:12
Speaker 3: was a perfect default choice. And I hate to say
16:14
Speaker 3: the word default.
16:15
Speaker 1: I don't mean it that one.
16:17
Speaker 6: Don't worry.
16:18
Speaker 2: I said it that way yesterday too.
16:20
Speaker 6: Charles Davis is our guest in our last minute. I
16:23
Speaker 6: also tabbed you as a man that sees the future
16:25
Speaker 6: as well. You're big on the NFL draft. So if
16:29
Speaker 6: if ken Walker leaves Seattle, we're sitting down there with
16:33
Speaker 6: the thirty second pick in the draft because we're champions,
16:36
Speaker 6: and there could be you know, other than Jeremiah Love,
16:41
Speaker 6: there could be the running back of your choice on
16:43
Speaker 6: the board. Give me a running back who might be
16:46
Speaker 6: there at thirty, at thirty two that could possibly step
16:50
Speaker 6: right into these shoes.
16:52
Speaker 1: Oh boy, thirty two. Here's the thing. I don't think
16:55
Speaker 1: you're taking him at thirty two. I just don't. I mean,
17:00
Speaker 1: I think you're going deeper into the pot.
17:02
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you're gonna get sharbone back right altis there.
17:07
Speaker 1: There are gonna be other people that are around. You'll
17:09
Speaker 1: probably signed someone in free agency somewhere and go. I
17:13
Speaker 1: don't know that you.
17:14
Speaker 3: Use one at thirty two, because if it's not Jeremiah Love,
17:17
Speaker 3: I don't know how deep I'm.
17:18
Speaker 2: Going on running back, got it? Okay? Yeah, but I
17:22
Speaker 2: will tell you something.
17:23
Speaker 3: That kid out of Indiana who played in the title game,
17:25
Speaker 3: Kaylem Black, is an ideal Seattle runner for how you
17:30
Speaker 3: run off it's and how your offensive line goes. And
17:33
Speaker 3: you can get a guy like him deeper in the
17:35
Speaker 3: draft and be extremely successful, I believe, not extremely can
17:38
Speaker 3: be very successful in what you're doing. That's just the
17:41
Speaker 3: type of guy I'm looking at. I'm not sure I
17:44
Speaker 3: would go there at thirty two. It's still early in
17:46
Speaker 3: the process, duh. But you know, for me, if it's
17:50
Speaker 3: not Jeremiah Love, I don't know that I'm breaking the
17:53
Speaker 3: bank to go anywhere for a runner, got it.
17:55
Speaker 6: I knew you were the perfect man for the job.
17:57
Speaker 6: Charles Davis, Thank you, sir. Well, you guys had.
18:03
Speaker 1: A big effect on this whole thing. Don't won't let
18:05
Speaker 1: them tell you any different.
18:07
Speaker 3: When I talked to Josh Schneider, the first thing he's
18:09
Speaker 3: gonna tell me is Chuck and Buff told me.
18:11
Speaker 1: That they were had to defend, and I'm not gonna
18:14
Speaker 1: tell him they were wrong. There you go.
18:16
Speaker 6: I think we're getting rings, Ashley, Bucky, and I'm pretty sure,
18:18
Speaker 6: pretty sure we're getting rings out of all of this. Charles,
18:21
Speaker 6: you are the man. Thank you, sir. We're going to

Speaker 6: Bucky and I are going to be down there as
19:32
Speaker 6: the parade is starting to come together, So see some
19:36
Speaker 6: of via down there. The off season is underway. As
19:39
Speaker 6: I mentioned yesterday, we are less than two weeks away
19:43
Speaker 6: from the NFL combine. We are now less than a
19:46
Speaker 6: month away from the free agency tampering period beginning. So
19:50
Speaker 6: over the course of the next month, every other sport
19:54
Speaker 6: in the world better make Hay better. Yeah, Yeah, you
19:58
Speaker 6: better do some good stuff. Better do stuff to keep
20:01
Speaker 6: our attention. Yeah, Because the NFL is always there. Speaking
20:05
Speaker 6: of keeping our attention, you know that this is a
20:07
Speaker 6: show that loves baseball. Pitchers and catchers reporting today in
20:12
Speaker 6: Peoria for the Mariners, and so they'll come in from
20:16
Speaker 6: the physicals and make sure and get side eyes from
20:20
Speaker 6: coaches and general managers if they put on four pounds
20:23
Speaker 6: this offseason, or get ada boys, if they come in
20:26
Speaker 6: with washboards abs. So that's what's going on over the
20:30
Speaker 6: next couple of days. They'll have their first practice on Thursday,
20:35
Speaker 6: and then we will be there by Monday to greet
20:38
Speaker 6: all of the hitters, all of the position players that
20:42
Speaker 6: will be reporting. But if I know this team, if
20:44
Speaker 6: I know these players, I think I do. I have
20:47
Speaker 6: a feeling everybody will be reporting before we even get
20:50
Speaker 6: down there. Very few of them wait till the last second.
20:54
Speaker 6: And so we're excited about that, and we'll get that
20:57
Speaker 6: started on Monday. Believe it or not, the Olympics continue,
21:00
Speaker 6: we'll have some time to talk about Lindsey Vaughn, the
21:03
Speaker 6: unfortunate circumstances there with her and her career and college basketball.
21:09
Speaker 6: We'll find a little time talk about this today as well.
21:11
Speaker 6: You dub an action against Penn State tomorrow thrilling game
21:15
Speaker 6: last night between Kansas and Arizona one by ku even
21:19
Speaker 6: though they were playing without their superstar player. Their fans,
21:23
Speaker 6: I'm telling you just willed them to the victory last
21:26
Speaker 6: night against the Arizona Wildcats. But yes, March madness is
21:30
Speaker 6: right around the corner too. But coming up next it'll
21:34
Speaker 6: be our final share Coachery Board of the year. We
21:38
Speaker 6: got a lot of things to discuss that are happening
21:42
Speaker 6: in house with the Seahawks, including our oc leaving for Vegas,
21:47
Speaker 6: Baby Vegas Share Coacherie for the final time next on
21:50
Speaker 6: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Certainly, we're in
21:54
Speaker 6: a celebratory mood up here in the Pacific Northwest. We
21:57
Speaker 6: got champion blood is what we've got up here.
22:01
Speaker 2: We're going to be.
22:01
Speaker 6: Celebrating it all week long, no question about it. But
22:05
Speaker 6: we're also there's a there's a tinge of sadness because
22:08
Speaker 6: we're gonna have to be saying a lot of good byes.
22:09
Speaker 6: We had to say goodbye to coach Holmgrin for the
22:12
Speaker 6: season yesterday, even though we'll bug him a lot, but
22:15
Speaker 6: we had to say goodbye to him. He had his
22:16
Speaker 6: final Monday morning quarterback granted a Super Bowl Championship Monday
22:20
Speaker 6: morning quarterback. But nonetheless we had to say goodbye to him.
22:24
Speaker 6: Jean's terrator is going to be on with us today
22:26
Speaker 6: for the last time this season, So we got to
22:28
Speaker 6: say goodbye to our good friend Jean. I mean, maybe
22:30
Speaker 6: he'll invite us up to his fancy house and have
22:34
Speaker 6: this up there. I mean, I've been holding out hope,
22:36
Speaker 6: maybe got lost in the mail.
22:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, back, it would be a dream come true. And
22:42
Speaker 8: yet I don't think he's going to do that for us.
22:44
Speaker 6: Interesting, he acts like he likes us, Why doesn't he
22:47
Speaker 6: prove it.
22:48
Speaker 8: I think it's a professional courtesy. Oh, I think it's
22:51
Speaker 8: it's not really true that he likes us.
22:53
Speaker 9: Well, I think he's just waiting till all the snow
22:55
Speaker 9: goes away there so that it's easier for us to
22:57
Speaker 9: get to his house.
22:58
Speaker 2: That's what.
22:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, he's got a lot, Yeah, more than normal,
23:02
Speaker 6: that's right.
23:03
Speaker 4: And he doesn't want us to be in peril, right.
23:05
Speaker 6: He wants to show us his place at its best.
23:07
Speaker 6: You know, he wants to do some spring landscaping. We'll
23:10
Speaker 6: see in a couple of months, Gene. But he's going
23:13
Speaker 6: to join us today at eight o'clock. And this is
23:15
Speaker 6: also our final share Coachery Board of the season. All
23:18
Speaker 6: ten of the holes have been filled and that includes
23:23
Speaker 6: the last one standing. The Las Vegas Raiders made it
23:27
Speaker 6: official yesterday. Clint Kubiak couldn't wait anyway, like sixteen seconds
23:31
Speaker 6: after winning a Super Bowl title as offensive coordinator to
23:35
Speaker 6: tell Stacey Dales from the NFL network, Oh, yeah, I'm going.
23:38
Speaker 6: She was like trying to fish. She was trying to, like,
23:42
Speaker 6: you know, trick him into saying something. He was like,
23:45
Speaker 6: why are we even tricking me? Yeah, I'm going to Vegas. Yeah,
23:48
Speaker 6: the worst kept secret in the entire Yeah, I'm going
23:51
Speaker 6: to be the next head coach.
23:52
Speaker 2: Of the Raiders.
23:53
Speaker 6: And they did make it official yesterday. The question for
23:57
Speaker 6: the Seahawks World champs is what is Clint Kubiak going
24:01
Speaker 6: to do to affect the rest of the staff. I mean,
24:04
Speaker 6: it's hard enough, Bucky, you lose your offensive coordinators, somebody
24:08
Speaker 6: the Sam Darnold, that just a wonderful relationship with this year.
24:12
Speaker 6: We were great on defense. We're pretty damn good on
24:15
Speaker 6: offense the entire season as well. So it's hard enough.
24:18
Speaker 6: But he's also gonna want to hand pick a couple
24:21
Speaker 6: of guys that he likes working with on this Seahawks staff,
24:24
Speaker 6: possibly give them promotions and take them with him to
24:28
Speaker 6: Las Vegas. There's talk about Andrew Jinoko, the quarterback, maybe
24:33
Speaker 6: going and being his OC. There's talk that it could
24:36
Speaker 6: be John Benton, the offensive line coach, who he might
24:39
Speaker 6: make his OC in Las Vegas. I'd even throw out
24:43
Speaker 6: Aden Dirty, because Ad and Dirty. If he ever wants
24:47
Speaker 6: to be a head coach in the National Football League,
24:49
Speaker 6: ask Eric the enemy you have to get out from
24:52
Speaker 6: underneath the defensive minded head coach that's been labeled a genius.
24:56
Speaker 6: Otherwise people just think you're a sou chef that you
24:59
Speaker 6: don't know how to make your own recipes, you don't
25:01
Speaker 6: know how to create your own menu. And so if
25:04
Speaker 6: he goes with Kubiak to Vegas and takes all the
25:07
Speaker 6: secrets that he learned from Mike McDonald, that might be
25:10
Speaker 6: something Clint Kubiak tries, and it might be something that
25:13
Speaker 6: Aden Dirty.
25:13
Speaker 2: Is interested in.
25:14
Speaker 6: So there's a real potential here that Clint Kubiak's going
25:17
Speaker 6: to really disrupt this coaching staff beyond just himself.
25:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean, I would imagine there'll be some
25:23
Speaker 8: sort of disruption beyond just himself.
25:26
Speaker 2: It seems like the.
25:29
Speaker 8: John Benton one does seem because that's an absolute, i mean,
25:34
Speaker 8: big time promotion from offensive line coach to offensive coordinator.
25:37
Speaker 8: Now you're going to be still in the shadows of
25:41
Speaker 8: the offensive coordinator who is going to be essentially is
25:43
Speaker 8: going to be Kubiak. But I would think that there's
25:47
Speaker 8: going to be something along those lines. That one to
25:49
Speaker 8: me just seems like it makes sense. And I'm with you,
25:53
Speaker 8: I mean, Aden Dirty, could I don't know for sure.
25:56
Speaker 8: If I'm Aden Dirt, I don't know for sure. If
25:57
Speaker 8: I want to leave a Super Bowl team to take
25:59
Speaker 8: the promotion, well, the title would stay the same, but
26:02
Speaker 8: you get the promotion in the eyes of those outside
26:05
Speaker 8: that they would be like, Okay, if you can do
26:07
Speaker 8: what you did in Seattle and with the Raiders, then yeah,
26:12
Speaker 8: you might become a head coach candidate. But good luck
26:15
Speaker 8: doing what you just did or even coming close to
26:17
Speaker 8: repeating what you just were a part of defensively here
26:20
Speaker 8: when you go down to Las Vegas, because they just
26:22
Speaker 8: don't have the same Jimmy's and Joe's.
26:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're never gonna get out from underneath McDonald's shadow,
26:29
Speaker 6: if you choose to stay in it, That's what I'm saying.
26:31
Speaker 6: So if he can go to Vegas and he doesn't
26:34
Speaker 6: have to have the number one defense, but if he
26:36
Speaker 6: shows the improvement. I mean, look at Sean mcvay's coaching tree.
26:39
Speaker 6: I just heard this conversation yesterday and it's just nonsense.
26:42
Speaker 6: Why is Cliff Kingsbury going to the Rams to become
26:45
Speaker 6: an assistant? What a demotion. No, every single person Sean
26:49
Speaker 6: McVeigh has on his staff as a head coach the
26:52
Speaker 6: next year, I mean how many. It's not just because
26:56
Speaker 6: you know the offensive mind of Sean McVay. And so
27:00
Speaker 6: with with Mike McDonald, it well it's you've touched him.
27:05
Speaker 2: Now.
27:05
Speaker 6: If he can go on and show what he can
27:07
Speaker 6: do elsewhere, then maybe that's ad and Dirty looking out
27:12
Speaker 6: for Aden dirty because he's Aden dirty.
27:14
Speaker 9: He is. Uh.
27:15
Speaker 6: So we'll see. I mean, there's gonna be some disruption
27:19
Speaker 6: to this staff, there's no question about it. But you
27:21
Speaker 6: do wonder just how much of a disruption it's going
27:25
Speaker 6: to be. Obviously we're looking for a new OC. We
27:28
Speaker 6: heard yesterday that it's not gonna take long. We might
27:31
Speaker 6: find out today. Uh And I don't know if that's
27:34
Speaker 6: John Benton that gets the promotion, but what we're hearing
27:37
Speaker 6: is it could be this Andrew Jenoko, the quarterbacks coach,
27:40
Speaker 6: That could be the new OC. Keep the same terminology,
27:44
Speaker 6: keep the same system, keep the relationship with Sam Darnold,
27:48
Speaker 6: uh and and all your offensive weapons. Makes sense to me.
27:52
Speaker 6: I can't sit here and vouch for Andrew Janoko. I
27:55
Speaker 6: don't know how impactful he was on this staff past year,
28:01
Speaker 6: but it does make sense to me not to upset
28:04
Speaker 6: what's working here and try to try to harm that
28:07
Speaker 6: as little as possible.
28:08
Speaker 8: Yeah, the idea of is as few a wrinkles or
28:11
Speaker 8: ripples that you can create with it. It does make sense.
28:15
Speaker 8: I mean, coach was talking about it yesterday. I think
28:17
Speaker 8: you agreed that. Yeah, if you can keep as much
28:20
Speaker 8: of the system in place, right, you're going to have
28:22
Speaker 8: whoever comes in offensive coordinator wise, is going to have
28:24
Speaker 8: their own stuff. But if you can somehow bridge the
28:27
Speaker 8: difference between the new guy and create some similarities with
28:32
Speaker 8: what who was here, Clint Kubiak in the way in
28:34
Speaker 8: which the offense you know, let it, you know, maybe
28:36
Speaker 8: did lead, but that performed high enough to go win
28:39
Speaker 8: the Lombardi Trophy. Yeah, you'd want to do that, I
28:42
Speaker 8: think and Andrew Guinoko, I know I've heard good things
28:45
Speaker 8: about him, But I'm with you. I can't sit and
28:46
Speaker 8: say whether or not that's going to be a move
28:49
Speaker 8: that's going to you know, where you're going to be
28:51
Speaker 8: able to pick up right where you're left off and
28:53
Speaker 8: you know, kind of continue the way that you were
28:55
Speaker 8: this season.
28:56
Speaker 6: The only other thing I bring up on the share
28:58
Speaker 6: coachery board, and it'll be the last. You never know
29:00
Speaker 6: where we're gonna have an emergency share coach reboard.
29:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's always waiting.
29:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, shar is always available to us. She's made that clear.
29:09
Speaker 2: Uh.
29:09
Speaker 6: And everybody's got an appetite for a good old share.
29:12
Speaker 2: Coach reboard every once in a while.
29:14
Speaker 6: I'm meat and pickles delicious. But Mike McDonald, I mean, yeah,
29:20
Speaker 6: we want him here, to be here for a long time.
29:23
Speaker 6: We want him happy. Do you get out ahead of
29:25
Speaker 6: that this year? Do you say you just took us
29:27
Speaker 6: from mediocrity to super Bowl champs in two years, You're
29:33
Speaker 6: not going anywhere. We're going to do everything along this
29:36
Speaker 6: path to keep you happy. You're getting a pay raise
29:38
Speaker 6: immediately we're gonna put you up there amongst the highest
29:41
Speaker 6: paid coaches in the National Football League. You're not doing extension,
29:45
Speaker 6: but we don't want you to get close to your
29:47
Speaker 6: extension and feel shunned that we haven't done anything.
29:50
Speaker 8: Do you do it just right now? I wouldn't be
29:54
Speaker 8: surprised if they did. I don't think they need to.
29:56
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, he's still I think when he got hired,
30:00
Speaker 8: he was one of the higher paid first time head
30:03
Speaker 8: coaches in NFL history. Now, some of that just goes
30:05
Speaker 8: with money always continues to go up. But I mean
30:09
Speaker 8: he's making some pretty good money, and I don't think
30:12
Speaker 8: he's going to be going knocking on Jody Allen's door, like, hey.
30:16
Speaker 2: See what I just did over there. See that trophy.
30:19
Speaker 6: Well I'm not saying that they he would do that,
30:21
Speaker 6: but if I were the organization, I don't even want
30:24
Speaker 6: to risk him feeling like, man, that went underappreciated. I'm
30:28
Speaker 6: going to just go again to give it to him now,
30:29
Speaker 6: like it's not capped. That's the thing about coaching salaries,
30:33
Speaker 6: they're not capped and you have tons of money. People
30:36
Speaker 6: always go want to bash on Major League Baseball owners
30:39
Speaker 6: and they just assume that they have trillions of dollars
30:42
Speaker 6: and they won't spend it on my team. Well, I
30:44
Speaker 6: can tell you this. NFL owners have a lot more
30:46
Speaker 6: money than Major League Baseball owners. Uh, and you don't
30:50
Speaker 6: get capped on coaches. I just go ahead and go
30:53
Speaker 6: into Jody Allen said, let's not beat around the bush.
30:56
Speaker 6: Let's make him happy. Let's make sure he feels appreciated, wanted.
31:00
Speaker 6: Let's give him John harball salary. Let's just do it
31:02
Speaker 6: right now. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean they could. What
31:05
Speaker 6: he's done is something that is more. It's worth more
31:09
Speaker 6: than probably what you thought you were paying him, right,
31:12
Speaker 6: I mean when you were paying him, what is it
31:13
Speaker 6: like nine million bucks a year or something is what
31:15
Speaker 6: I think I had read somewhere around there, which again
31:17
Speaker 6: was highest, one of the highest that anybody's ever gotten
31:20
Speaker 6: for their first ever attempt at being the head coach.
31:23
Speaker 8: Now, when you paid that, you're like, well, what we
31:26
Speaker 8: like what we heard in the interview room. You still
31:29
Speaker 8: didn't necessarily expect to be on the cusp of the
31:32
Speaker 8: playoffs and in the division hunt in your first year
31:36
Speaker 8: and then to just immediately improve to the point of
31:40
Speaker 8: number one seed run through the playoffs and win the
31:42
Speaker 8: Super Bowl dominating fashion. I mean, it wouldn't be out
31:45
Speaker 8: of the realm of possibility. I'm with you, how I
31:47
Speaker 8: understand how it's not capped. You could go out there
31:49
Speaker 8: and do it. I just all I was saying is
31:51
Speaker 8: I don't think Mike McDonald will even feel underappreciated. I mean,
31:55
Speaker 8: I just have a feeling that right now, this dude
31:58
Speaker 8: is getting the flowers, and rightfully so, and he's getting
32:01
Speaker 8: paid handsomely, and he's if he continues even doing anything
32:05
Speaker 8: remotely close to what he's done in his first two years,
32:08
Speaker 8: I think this team's gonna be knocking on that door
32:10
Speaker 8: and they're gonna re up him win the time when
32:12
Speaker 8: they just kind of both feel like, yep, hey, you
32:14
Speaker 8: know what, you got three years left on your deal.
32:16
Speaker 8: How about we make it ten and have it make
32:18
Speaker 8: you the highest paid guy since you got two Super
32:20
Speaker 8: Bowls already.
32:21
Speaker 9: Yeah. I just think if you do it now, it
32:22
Speaker 9: can't hurt you. Right, He's not gonna get worse at coaching.
32:25
Speaker 9: He's only gonna get better as he spends more time
32:28
Speaker 9: head coaching in the NFL. It just seems to me
32:30
Speaker 9: the way his mind works the intricacies of his defense
32:33
Speaker 9: and his mind and his knowing exactly what he wants
32:36
Speaker 9: on his team.
32:37
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, lock him up.
32:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, next Syrian. He makes fifteen million dollars and they
32:41
Speaker 6: don't even like him, No, they don't, really don't. Ben
32:44
Speaker 6: Johnson makes thirteen million dollars. They had a great year,
32:46
Speaker 6: but that's somebody that's not And one year he actually
32:50
Speaker 6: went further than what McDonald did. But I'm not gonna
32:53
Speaker 6: let him feel that. I'm gonna I'm gonna say, you
32:56
Speaker 6: know what, this is, how much we believe in you.
32:59
Speaker 6: I'm gonna double yourself and even though you got four
33:01
Speaker 6: years before your contract's up, I'm gonna double that. Dance
33:04
Speaker 6: out feelings like, yeah, I wonder what the feeling's like
33:09
Speaker 6: just to make nine dollars a year, much less nine
33:11
Speaker 6: million dollars a year. All right, coming up next, man,

34:23
Speaker 8: I actually told my money a good buddy of mine

Speaker 8: who decided to show me a ticket that he had
34:29
Speaker 8: bought for the Seahawks back in February of last year,
34:32
Speaker 8: Oh to win the Super Bowl. Put one hundred bucks
34:36
Speaker 8: on it and made sixty eight hundred.

34:48
Speaker 9: Yeah.
34:48
Speaker 8: Wow, I mean I thought he should do something for me,
34:51
Speaker 8: because I'm sure he wouldn't have done that if he
34:53
Speaker 8: hadn't been listening to our show about how you know.
34:56
Speaker 6: How confident point point Yeah, yeah was Yeah, friend, I
35:01
Speaker 6: think Scotty, I think all of us would enjoy some
35:04
Speaker 6: sort of gift.
35:06
Speaker 4: I mean it's about Scotty look.
35:08
Speaker 2: At anything for you and done anything for any of us?
35:10
Speaker 6: Really, Scotty ever done anything for me?
35:13
Speaker 4: Not so I would write I'm with.
35:16
Speaker 2: You on that.
35:17
Speaker 8: Good Lord, be a better friend, guys.
35:21
Speaker 6: So exasperating, exasperating Scotty, That's what I've always called it. Yeah, anyway, Uh,
35:27
Speaker 6: let's talk about what happened Sunday. I kind of knew
35:31
Speaker 6: this was going to occur, and sure enough, on Monday morning,
35:35
Speaker 6: you know everything, everybody.
35:37
Speaker 2: Came out of the woodwork.
35:38
Speaker 6: And the only thing that I can chalk this up
35:39
Speaker 6: to is I can't appreciate that everybody is watching the
35:43
Speaker 6: Super Bowl, and I can appreciate it if somebody is
35:46
Speaker 6: just I'm a casual fan of football, and yet on
35:49
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl, I sit around the television and I
35:52
Speaker 6: watch with everybody else, and I just really like touchdowns.
35:57
Speaker 6: You know, if somebody has that approach, Okay, I sort
36:02
Speaker 6: of get that, Yeah, but I don't. I truly don't understand. Okay,
36:06
Speaker 6: and okay, I'm going to create another category Hugh Millen's
36:09
Speaker 6: and Mike Holmgrens because they love offense. So they want
36:13
Speaker 6: to see great offense. That's that's what they want to watch.
36:15
Speaker 6: That's what they get a kick out of. You know,
36:17
Speaker 6: I want to tune into a defensive game. But I man,
36:22
Speaker 6: I would think a sports fan out there slash football fan.
36:25
Speaker 6: I mean, you are showing up and you have you
36:29
Speaker 6: have sort of signed up for a little bell violence
36:33
Speaker 6: if you like football this much. And to me, I
36:37
Speaker 6: really just can't understand the sports fan that can watch
36:41
Speaker 6: that game Sunday and think that that's boring. To me,
36:44
Speaker 6: greatness should never go unappreciated. We were watching the Seahawks,
36:49
Speaker 6: a great defense playing as great as they've played all
36:53
Speaker 6: year long to win the Super Bowl. And yeah, Drake
36:56
Speaker 6: may put them some yards and some points in the
36:57
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, but that was greatness. I'm enjoying every bit
37:01
Speaker 6: of it, even when it was nine to nothing twelve nothing,
37:04
Speaker 6: even though when the Seahawks offense couldn't get going. I'm
37:07
Speaker 6: the guy, though, that liked the six to six every
37:09
Speaker 6: blade of Grass game against the Cardinals when most people
37:13
Speaker 6: never want to think about that game ever. Again, I
37:15
Speaker 6: don't know, just me as a sports fan. I like
37:19
Speaker 6: one nothing baseball games every once in a while, not
37:21
Speaker 6: every game, but when you see one, you know you
37:24
Speaker 6: watch something great. You watch two guys who were on
37:27
Speaker 6: top of their game going at it in the playoffs,
37:30
Speaker 6: and man, you had to just scratch for a base runner,
37:33
Speaker 6: much less a run scored in a game. So I
37:36
Speaker 6: loved it, and I wasn't dawning on me that it
37:39
Speaker 6: was boring on Sunday. And yet we've had twenty four
37:43
Speaker 6: hours of those most boring Super Bowl I've ever seen.
37:46
Speaker 6: Shame on you.
37:47
Speaker 8: Well, I don't think it's the most boring Super Bowl
37:49
Speaker 8: by any stretch it. I don't think it was the
37:51
Speaker 8: most exciting either. I think, you know, looking at it
37:54
Speaker 8: through the lens of a Seattle guy, like somebody that
37:57
Speaker 8: covers this team and watching what Mike McDonald is built,
38:01
Speaker 8: and watching how it just came to fruition at the
38:04
Speaker 8: biggest moment culminating in a world championship. I think that
38:08
Speaker 8: there's a lot of respect that goes into it. I
38:11
Speaker 8: also give respect to the Patriots. I think the Patriots
38:14
Speaker 8: defense is legit.
38:16
Speaker 2: Now.
38:16
Speaker 8: I think you know, I mean, would I rather have
38:20
Speaker 8: this was one where you know, there was eight punts
38:22
Speaker 8: in the first ten possessions, Right, would I rather have that?
38:26
Speaker 3: Well?
38:27
Speaker 8: I don't mind a defensive struggle where you've got to
38:29
Speaker 8: fight for every blade of grass, and a field goal
38:32
Speaker 8: is a real positive, right you go down to kick
38:34
Speaker 8: a field goal, Boom, You're now you're up six zero.
38:37
Speaker 8: Do it again, nine zero. I like the fact that
38:39
Speaker 8: it wasn't a blowout in the sense of one team
38:42
Speaker 8: just was great on offense and defense and the other
38:44
Speaker 8: team was bad on both.
38:45
Speaker 2: That would be a bad Super Bowl.
38:47
Speaker 8: This was two defenses going head to head, one offense,
38:50
Speaker 8: one quarterback in particularly making the plays when he needed
38:53
Speaker 8: to in a running back, stepping up and carrying the
38:56
Speaker 8: load when he needed to. I mean, more exciting when
39:00
Speaker 8: you see some of those that it's just lead change
39:03
Speaker 8: and lead change in the second half. There's a more
39:06
Speaker 8: exciting Super Bowl formula out there. But I don't think
39:09
Speaker 8: that this is boring. I think that if you're thinking
39:11
Speaker 8: it's boring, you're probably just hating on the Seahawks or
39:14
Speaker 8: you didn't like the Patriots, didn't think they were worthy
39:17
Speaker 8: of being a super Bowl contender at this point in time.
39:20
Speaker 8: To me, I think boring is a little bit lazy.
39:22
Speaker 8: But it wasn't the most exciting super Bowl.
39:24
Speaker 4: Either, I will say.
39:24
Speaker 9: I mean there were people that were saying it was
39:26
Speaker 9: a boring matchup before the game even started.
39:28
Speaker 4: So to hear them say it was boring after.
39:31
Speaker 9: I guess I could see if you're not really a
39:33
Speaker 9: fan of either team and you watch that game, you
39:36
Speaker 9: realize that the Seahawks were pretty much dominating and that
39:40
Speaker 9: there was no the Patriots weren't going to have anything.
39:42
Speaker 9: So in that sense, you might think like, yeah, oh
39:45
Speaker 9: I wanted it to be closer. I want to, you know,
39:46
Speaker 9: if I'm want to watch these two teams that I
39:48
Speaker 9: already thought were boring before put on a good show.
39:51
Speaker 9: I mean they did put on a good show, but
39:53
Speaker 9: just not that high flying one that I think a
39:56
Speaker 9: lot of sports fans want.
39:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, you didn't spend a lot of the fourth, fourth
39:59
Speaker 6: quarters thinking the outcome was in doubt, right, and so, yeah,
40:03
Speaker 6: I'm with you. I'm not putting it in a time capsule.
40:06
Speaker 6: I'm going to share this game with with you know,
40:09
Speaker 6: whoever survives World War three, you know, fifty years from now,
40:13
Speaker 6: so they know what American football look like at its best. No,
40:16
Speaker 6: I'm not putting it there. But man, watching a team
40:19
Speaker 6: play the greatest three quarters defensively in the history of
40:23
Speaker 6: the sport arguably, Yeah, man, on the biggest stage. I
40:28
Speaker 6: mean to me, that's fascinating to me. I'm sitting there
40:31
Speaker 6: like I want the final score to be nine to nothing.
40:34
Speaker 6: That's where I was be nine to nothing. I wanted it.
40:37
Speaker 9: It's not shut out that part. I was real disappointed
40:40
Speaker 9: when the Patriots scored.
40:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, even when I was sure they were winning at
40:44
Speaker 6: twelve to nothing, I'm like, you know what would be Also,
40:46
Speaker 6: I just want to keep seeing whatever's happening here, and
40:50
Speaker 6: the game has to remain in doubt a little bit.
40:52
Speaker 6: But shut them out now because I'm watching something special here.
40:56
Speaker 6: And when you're watching something special to me that ain't
40:59
Speaker 6: ever bored Alright, headlines next and Greg Bell Sports Radio
