1:02
Speaker 1: another beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest, and we have
1:05
Speaker 1: you covered until ten o'clock this morning, talking about all
1:09
Speaker 1: sorts of things in the sports world. They call this
1:11
Speaker 1: the slow time of the year.
1:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, ye, slow.
1:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. If I drift off with all the slow sports
1:19
Speaker 1: world stuff going on, please pinch me.
1:22
Speaker 3: I'll kick you.
1:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to be alerted. Yeah, world's biggest soccer
1:26
Speaker 1: tournament going on, the fourth major taking place tomorrow. I mean,
1:31
Speaker 1: it's so dull around here. We haven't talked about the
1:34
Speaker 1: Open Championship all week long. All Star Game festivities are
1:41
Speaker 1: manager being questioned. I mean, our pets heads are falling off.
1:47
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a crazy, crazy time. And they
1:50
Speaker 1: used to call this the slow time of the year.
1:53
Speaker 1: I'm hoping, I'm actually hoping the next couple of nights
1:57
Speaker 1: are slow because I'm kind of looking forward to not
2:02
Speaker 1: watching a sporting event when I wake up from my
2:05
Speaker 1: nap for the next couple of days. As much as
2:07
Speaker 1: I love sports, and it should be obvious how much
2:09
Speaker 1: I love sports, I'm kind of looking forward to going
2:12
Speaker 1: to have a meal on a patio somewhere and not
2:14
Speaker 1: have to worry about what the score is or if
2:16
Speaker 1: I'm missing something. So I'm actually looking for it to
2:20
Speaker 1: slow down because it has been mad capped for weeks.
2:25
Speaker 1: It feels like and this is supposed to be the
2:28
Speaker 1: slow time of the year.
2:29
Speaker 2: And it's so funny that when people say that, and
2:31
Speaker 2: because every year it's not slow. Now I'm this year
2:35
Speaker 2: you had in the World Cup, which has made it
2:38
Speaker 2: not slower.
2:39
Speaker 1: Once upon a time it was slow. It was just
2:43
Speaker 1: the All Star Game.
2:44
Speaker 2: Yes, in the end, that was, but that was like
2:46
Speaker 2: what four, five, six, maybe ten years ago.
2:49
Speaker 1: That was probably twenty years ago.
2:51
Speaker 3: Okay, that was that year ago.
2:53
Speaker 1: And it's just not the case anymore. I mean the
2:57
Speaker 1: fact that we are so fascinated with off seasons now,
3:00
Speaker 1: which I love, thank you, thank you for thank you
3:03
Speaker 1: for catching up to me. But the National Football League
3:06
Speaker 1: doesn't have a dead moment. You know, these are supposed
3:10
Speaker 1: to be the dead moments, and then we have ranking
3:11
Speaker 1: lists that come out that stir our conversational muscles and
3:17
Speaker 1: so so there's really not and I'm I'm pleased about it.
3:22
Speaker 1: I've I've often told everybody that I work with in
3:25
Speaker 1: this world, I love this time of the year when
3:27
Speaker 1: it was slower because it allowed you to not be
3:30
Speaker 1: a slave to the day's biggest story. You got to
3:34
Speaker 1: be a little more creative, you got to talk about
3:37
Speaker 1: things you don't normally get to talk about. And yet
3:41
Speaker 1: we have certainly had a really busy month this month,
3:45
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. So maybe the next couple
3:47
Speaker 1: of days will slow down before we get into football
3:51
Speaker 1: season and training camp again next week. But I don't
3:55
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. I mean, I'm not complaining about it.
3:58
Speaker 1: That's that's for certain. But the days of this being
4:01
Speaker 1: considered the slow time of the year have been dead
4:04
Speaker 1: and buried.
4:05
Speaker 3: Yes, one hundred percent.
4:07
Speaker 1: Well, the MLB All Star Game was held last night
4:10
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Apparently Philadelphia's in America. We weren't able to tell.
4:16
Speaker 2: I didn't know that actually before last night. Now I
4:19
Speaker 2: think it might be the capital.
4:23
Speaker 1: Well it was once upon a time, yeah.
4:24
Speaker 2: See, and now I think it might really be it again.
4:26
Speaker 2: I might be going backwards, you know what.
4:28
Speaker 1: At first, I'm like, man, they are going all in
4:31
Speaker 1: on this pregame show. Everything's about America. Like are they
4:36
Speaker 1: realizing that they're doing this? And then I'm like, okay,
4:40
Speaker 1: all right, now I'm starting to put the pieces together.
4:42
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty birthday, We're close to the fourth
4:45
Speaker 1: of July. We apparently intentionally chose Philadelphia to ose this
4:49
Speaker 1: particular All Star game. Okay, I sort of get the
4:53
Speaker 1: American theme, and believe me, I love me some Red, white,
4:57
Speaker 1: and Blue. I love me some America, There's no question
5:00
Speaker 1: about it. But did we pay play every song written
5:05
Speaker 1: about America last night? I mean, like every single one
5:08
Speaker 1: of everyone?
5:08
Speaker 2: And they think they actually wrote some more and played
5:11
Speaker 2: those as well.
5:12
Speaker 1: You know, Bucky always tell us the story about when
5:15
Speaker 1: he was in the miners and Lee Greenwood was dropped
5:17
Speaker 1: down from a helicopter and he sang his America song
5:21
Speaker 1: and he thought it was one of the coolest things
5:23
Speaker 1: that he'd ever seen in his entire life. I was
5:25
Speaker 1: half expecting since there wasn't anything that happened. In the
5:29
Speaker 1: middle of the eighth inning, I was ordering the miller
5:33
Speaker 1: to duran pitching change, right. I thought maybe they'd squeeze
5:36
Speaker 1: Lee Greenwood, you know, coming down from a chopper in
5:41
Speaker 1: center field. Take the time to let him play. I'm
5:44
Speaker 1: proud to be an American.
5:46
Speaker 3: Bald eagle on his shoulder.
5:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably in a wheelchair at this age by now,
5:52
Speaker 1: bald eagle on his shoulder, you know. And and he
5:55
Speaker 1: just cranks it out for one last time. I mean,
5:58
Speaker 1: it was it was a lot.
6:00
Speaker 3: It was a lot.
6:01
Speaker 1: It's and it could have bordered on too much or
6:04
Speaker 1: it obliterated the line one or the other.
6:06
Speaker 3: Oh, it didn't see the line.
6:09
Speaker 2: But it was funny because during the home run derby,
6:11
Speaker 2: when I was looking at the uniforms with the American
6:14
Speaker 2: flag on the numbers, I thought, oh, that's kind of cool,
6:16
Speaker 2: but you know, we're past fourth of July. But that's
6:19
Speaker 2: all right, you know. And I thought that's oh, I
6:22
Speaker 2: like it, that's okay. And then when we went yesterday,
6:24
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, well, now I see why they
6:26
Speaker 2: had the American numbers on their jersey.
6:29
Speaker 1: It was all America. It was the American theme. And
6:31
Speaker 1: I don't know who hatched that. I don't know if
6:33
Speaker 1: that was Philadelphia that because they submitted for this years
6:37
Speaker 1: ago apparently, and I don't know if it was with
6:40
Speaker 1: the idea that's going to be the two hundred and
6:41
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary, we can just blow out baseball in America.
6:44
Speaker 1: And but they blew it out. And they did have
6:47
Speaker 1: some great moments. Yes, the video that they did with
6:51
Speaker 1: the kids riding the bicycles and then they arrived at
6:54
Speaker 1: the stadium and then Ray.
6:55
Speaker 3: Charles, who, oh my gosh, that was good.
6:57
Speaker 1: I'm such a big Ray Charles fan and such a
7:00
Speaker 1: big America fan, and I like kids too.
7:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I like a lot of other people's kids.
7:06
Speaker 1: But that was that was fantastic. I thought the pregame
7:10
Speaker 1: introductions they were fantastic. I thought Joe Davis did a
7:13
Speaker 1: great job planned to the crowd and who they might boo.
7:17
Speaker 1: I actually, at this stage of my life, I'm fifty
7:19
Speaker 1: five years old and I finally get Philadelphia fans, and
7:22
Speaker 1: I find them lovable all of a sudden. But they,
7:26
Speaker 1: you know, they have this reputation of booing everyone and
7:29
Speaker 1: throwing batteries at players, and they booed Santa Claus and
7:32
Speaker 1: everything else. I love that in the last ten to
7:35
Speaker 1: fifteen years, they've just embraced this and now they almost
7:38
Speaker 1: it's almost endearing. They booed everyone, everyone at the home
7:43
Speaker 1: run derby the night before. They were booing kids who
7:45
Speaker 1: were dropping fly balls. They booed everyone in the National League,
7:50
Speaker 1: and then all of the Yankees last night, and then
7:53
Speaker 1: they roared for their Philadelphia Phillies when they tipped their
7:57
Speaker 1: caps to the crowd. And so I think they really
8:00
Speaker 1: just like, we're going with this. We boo everyone, and
8:03
Speaker 1: now it's suddenly kind of sweet. Now now you can
8:07
Speaker 1: see the players get such a kick out of it.
8:09
Speaker 1: So Philadelphia was certainly they put on a great show
8:14
Speaker 1: over the course of the last couple of days. The
8:16
Speaker 1: America thing I think got a little overdone. I do
8:21
Speaker 1: believe that maybe, and when I say a little overdone.
8:23
Speaker 1: I think whoever produced that broadcast last night should be
8:27
Speaker 1: fired and and so. But but there were a lot
8:32
Speaker 1: of a lot of good things about it. My mom
8:34
Speaker 1: tweeted me before the game started as an annual tradition,
8:37
Speaker 1: and she doesn't remember my birthday all that often anymore,
8:41
Speaker 1: but she does remember that. Man, the All Star Game
8:44
Speaker 1: was a precious thing to my brother and I growing up,
8:47
Speaker 1: and she had to do a lot of things. You know,
8:49
Speaker 1: she would go get Google Cluster ice cream for us
8:51
Speaker 1: every year. That was our that was our desertive choice
8:55
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game. And she sent me a
8:57
Speaker 1: text saying, I wish I could bring you Googole Cluster ice.
9:00
Speaker 3: Oh that's cute.
9:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I even got that.
9:04
Speaker 3: Do you think did you?
9:05
Speaker 2: Did you think the signing the lineup like it was
9:09
Speaker 2: the Declaration of Independence was too much?
9:11
Speaker 1: I thought that was one very cool thing. Oh okay,
9:14
Speaker 1: I thought that was a very cool thing because that
9:16
Speaker 1: was certainly outside the box and original and what a keepsake.
9:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that part will be very cool. It was
9:21
Speaker 3: just interesting.
9:22
Speaker 2: I think the part that was interesting to me is
9:24
Speaker 2: that you're you're having a bunch of players signed the
9:26
Speaker 2: Declaration of Independence, which is a very important American document.
9:30
Speaker 3: And know a lot of the players aren't American.
9:33
Speaker 2: So in my I was laughing, like, I wonder if
9:35
Speaker 2: they think this is weird that they're doing this.
9:36
Speaker 1: Well, that was the That was sort of what I
9:40
Speaker 1: struggled with the entire night. Yeah, like, wait a minute,
9:44
Speaker 1: we're really we really kind of turned this into a
9:46
Speaker 1: global game. All sports have turned it into a global game.
9:50
Speaker 1: The NBA seven other top ten players are not from
9:53
Speaker 1: America anymore. The face of the NBA is a twenty
9:57
Speaker 1: two year old seven foot five inch Frenchman. I mean,
10:01
Speaker 1: almost all leagues and baseball's been trying to do this
10:04
Speaker 1: as well, with the show Heyo Tani phenomenon that has
10:08
Speaker 1: taken place. I mean, maybe it's the reason he tapped
10:11
Speaker 1: out and didn't want to play last night. I don't know.
10:13
Speaker 1: Maybe he saw the rundown of what they were going
10:15
Speaker 1: to do. But I wrestled with that all night long,
10:18
Speaker 1: Like the all sports are sort of going global. I
10:22
Speaker 1: think it's fantastic because it has improved the quality of
10:26
Speaker 1: the play. We're now reaching for the baseball talent in
10:29
Speaker 1: the world, not just here in America, but we were
10:31
Speaker 1: there fifteen years ago, and now all of a sudden,
10:36
Speaker 1: here we have the stage to ourself. The World Cup
10:39
Speaker 1: got played earlier that day, and the World Cup was
10:41
Speaker 1: all about the world for the last month, and then
10:44
Speaker 1: Baseball's decided with the prime time stage on the same
10:48
Speaker 1: day that a World Cup semifinal was held, Baseball decides,
10:52
Speaker 1: we're going to make this all about America. So everybody
10:55
Speaker 1: tuning in who is globally like sick of how America
11:00
Speaker 1: pats itself on the back. They had to watch six
11:03
Speaker 1: straight hours of how awesome America is. And there were
11:07
Speaker 1: even American players like Schwarber and Harper who were the
11:10
Speaker 1: stars of the week. I mean they were. They got
11:13
Speaker 1: more applause than anybody in the world the last couple
11:17
Speaker 1: of days. And even they by the eighth inning and
11:20
Speaker 1: the seventh time they had to come out of the
11:21
Speaker 1: dugout and put their cap over their heart, they were
11:24
Speaker 1: they were laughing about it. They were rolling their eyes about,
11:27
Speaker 1: like how many tributes are we going to do it
11:31
Speaker 1: during the course of this game. So I struggled with
11:34
Speaker 1: that all game long. As much as I love America
11:36
Speaker 1: and as much as I love baseball's place in American history,
11:40
Speaker 1: which I love. I wrote a TV script about it,
11:43
Speaker 1: by the way, got to lions Gate, got to Uh,
11:46
Speaker 1: it got cut, but it never did get where it
11:49
Speaker 1: needed to go, but it was considered. So that's I'm
11:52
Speaker 1: just pointing that out because that's how much I love
11:55
Speaker 1: baseball's place in American history. And I think that there
11:58
Speaker 1: should have been a lot of time spent on that
12:01
Speaker 1: last night, but every second of every of the entire
12:06
Speaker 1: game and of the entire broadcast when half the players
12:09
Speaker 1: aren't from America and you're trying to appeal to an
12:12
Speaker 1: a global audience, more so now than ever before, and
12:16
Speaker 1: we just went over the top last night. And there
12:21
Speaker 1: were a lot of things that hit. There were a
12:23
Speaker 1: lot of things that were home runs. Like I said,
12:25
Speaker 1: the Ray Charles thing, I thought it was a home run.
12:27
Speaker 3: The sand lot st awesome.
12:28
Speaker 1: I thought the player introductions were a home run, including
12:31
Speaker 1: the signing of the document. I thought that was a
12:33
Speaker 1: really cool twist. Never would have thought of that myself,
12:35
Speaker 1: and I considered myself a pretty creative person, and so
12:39
Speaker 1: I thought there were a lot of home runs that
12:41
Speaker 1: they hit, But there were a lot of awkward swings too,
12:46
Speaker 1: and there were a lot of foul balls and it's like,
12:48
Speaker 1: if we're going to do America the Beautiful the previous inning,
12:51
Speaker 1: do we really need to do God bless America? Then again, okay,
12:55
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that in the sixth do we need
12:57
Speaker 1: to do the seventh inning? Stretch? And we got to
12:59
Speaker 1: do God to do America the Beautiful now and the
13:02
Speaker 1: seventh and then? And so to me, it was I
13:06
Speaker 1: did wrestle with it all night long. I thought that
13:09
Speaker 1: it was not a good idea, and then I thought
13:12
Speaker 1: the broadcast itself was just horrendous. I cannot stand player
13:19
Speaker 1: interviews during games.
13:21
Speaker 2: Oh you don't see and I like it, but I
13:23
Speaker 2: don't think they did a very good job on a
13:25
Speaker 2: lot of them yesterday.
13:26
Speaker 1: Maybe that's it. I mean, I think there is a
13:28
Speaker 1: time and place, and an All Star game and exhibition
13:30
Speaker 1: game should be the time and place for that. But
13:33
Speaker 1: it's as if they're like, well, what if these guys leave,
13:36
Speaker 1: we need to interview them now. So they bunched it
13:38
Speaker 1: all at the beginning. They couldn't even get the rhythm
13:41
Speaker 1: of the game broadcast going because they were so committed
13:44
Speaker 1: to these clever ideas. Let's interview Justin Verlander, Let's have
13:50
Speaker 1: John Smoltz, of all people, not a professional. I mean,
13:54
Speaker 1: he's a professional broadcaster now, but he's he's not Mike Wallace. Right,
13:58
Speaker 1: Let's have John Smoltz in, Justin Verlander, Cam Schlittler, and
14:03
Speaker 1: Jacob Mizerowski. So two guys that have chosen not to
14:07
Speaker 1: play in the game and one guy you just interviewed
14:11
Speaker 1: one inning ago, and now you're gonna have John Smoltz
14:15
Speaker 1: while you're trying to get the game started, interview all
14:18
Speaker 1: three of them. The you could barely hear them because
14:22
Speaker 1: the audio equipment was bad. Smolt's interview was not good.
14:27
Speaker 1: The half inning they had dedicated was like four pitches,
14:31
Speaker 1: so you didn't get anything out of it. And then
14:33
Speaker 1: they brought him back for another half inning afterwards, Like
14:37
Speaker 1: who is producing this? Who thought this was a good
14:40
Speaker 1: idea to begin with? Just so that John Smoltz could
14:43
Speaker 1: ask Jacob Miserovski if the professional wrestler knows that they
14:47
Speaker 1: share the same nickname. That's what we did. That's what
14:51
Speaker 1: we did. We had to carve out a big chunk
14:53
Speaker 1: at the beginning of Like Eduardo Rodriguez was pitching for
14:57
Speaker 1: the National League, not a big deal, but edwardo Rodriguez
15:02
Speaker 1: has a really good story this year. I mean people
15:04
Speaker 1: had left him for dead. He was horrible last season.
15:08
Speaker 1: He's a mid thirties and then in the WBC he
15:10
Speaker 1: got reborn and then he went on to have an
15:13
Speaker 1: all star first half with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who only
15:16
Speaker 1: had two representatives in the game, and you just totally
15:20
Speaker 1: glossed over that he was even on the field so
15:22
Speaker 1: that you could do this awkward, poorly audioble, audible, poor
15:28
Speaker 1: audio interview with three people, none of which were engaging.
15:33
Speaker 1: It was really poorly done. Frankly, just yeah, poorly done.
15:37
Speaker 1: The whole I thought TV broadcast was just really bad.
15:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was. It just went with the theme, though.
15:43
Speaker 2: I think they just tried to overdo everything, and that
15:46
Speaker 2: was part of it as well, because I and I
15:47
Speaker 2: do think they should be when you're doing in game interviews,
15:50
Speaker 2: it should be strategic. It should be outfielders because they're
15:53
Speaker 2: not going to see a ton of the action, so
15:55
Speaker 2: they can kind of comment. You get kind of the funnier,
15:57
Speaker 2: lighthearted stuff, versus you can't put on a catcher who's
16:00
Speaker 2: catching someone who they've never caught before.
16:03
Speaker 1: And he felt uncomfortable he's like trying to like jibe
16:07
Speaker 1: with Dylan Cees. I thought that was interesting watching Dylan
16:10
Speaker 1: see sort of like make up his pitches on the
16:13
Speaker 1: ye fly. I mean, when you see a pitcher on
16:15
Speaker 1: the mountain, you think I've got a definitive game plan,
16:18
Speaker 1: and then you watch Dylan Ceas last night, He's like,
16:20
Speaker 1: let's try a slider here.
16:21
Speaker 3: Yeah.
16:21
Speaker 1: No, I thought that was actually good. Yes, but to
16:24
Speaker 1: do it in the first inning when you've before you've
16:26
Speaker 1: even established like every individual hitter that's coming to the
16:30
Speaker 1: plate for the All Star Game has a really interesting
16:32
Speaker 1: story as to how they got there and the type
16:35
Speaker 1: of season that they're having, and they blew all of
16:37
Speaker 1: that off for the first three innings just so they
16:41
Speaker 1: could show the next stage in broadcasting baseball games, We're
16:46
Speaker 1: going to actually mike up the pitcher and the catcher.
16:49
Speaker 1: And even though there were some really fascinating things that
16:53
Speaker 1: got unearthed with that, it really was not an effective
16:58
Speaker 1: way to start the broadcast, start the game broadcast.
17:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it would have been great if
17:03
Speaker 2: they would have just said to Dylan Sees, hey, you know,
17:05
Speaker 2: while you're out there, if you just just we're gonna
17:07
Speaker 2: have a mic On, you just chat just, you know,
17:09
Speaker 2: every once in while, let us know what you're doing.
17:11
Speaker 2: That would have been awesome, But I just felt bad
17:14
Speaker 2: for Lingoliers. He was clearly like.
17:16
Speaker 1: He didn't want anything.
17:17
Speaker 2: What's happening right now, like I've never done, I've never
17:19
Speaker 2: caught this guy. Yeah, he's throwing a million miles an hour.
17:22
Speaker 2: I think, can we just calm this down?
17:24
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. And then finally, and we should mention this
17:27
Speaker 1: in the first segment. If I'm going to spend the
17:29
Speaker 1: entire first seventeen minutes of the show talking about the
17:32
Speaker 1: All Star Game. The game was bad. The game was boring,
17:36
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I think there's any way around it.
17:42
Speaker 1: All Star games major League Baseball level, when you never
17:45
Speaker 1: get to face the same pitcher twice, you know, and
17:48
Speaker 1: they're all of All Star caliber, and they're all throwing
17:51
Speaker 1: their guts out on the mound. They already throw ninety
17:54
Speaker 1: eight and now they got a little extra juice because
17:56
Speaker 1: they're in the All Star Game. It kind of breeds
18:00
Speaker 1: itself for a low scoring affair. But when you tune in,
18:04
Speaker 1: you want to see the best pitchers versus the best hitters.
18:07
Speaker 1: And if it's low scoring fine, but there were so
18:09
Speaker 1: many of the best pitchers that didn't even participate, so
18:12
Speaker 1: now you're just watching replacement relief pitchers dominate National League
18:17
Speaker 1: getters the entire game. There were twenty seven strikeouts in
18:21
Speaker 1: the game. Half of the players for the National League
18:23
Speaker 1: that came to the plate struck out yea. And this
18:27
Speaker 1: supposed to be an All Star game. So the game
18:29
Speaker 1: itself was not good. And this come from a baseball fan,
18:33
Speaker 1: And this is coming from somebody who yesterday thought that
18:36
Speaker 1: the home run derby was the greatest home run derby
18:40
Speaker 1: maybe we've ever seen, and the format work perfectly and
18:43
Speaker 1: the broadcast seemed to hit on all levels. But last
18:47
Speaker 1: night I thought the broadcast was terrible of the game.
18:50
Speaker 1: The game wasn't very good, and I just hate feeding
18:54
Speaker 1: that for people who live to bash baseball. I hate
18:58
Speaker 1: it when the All Star Game is not entertain because
19:02
Speaker 1: you have to hear for the next twenty four hours
19:05
Speaker 1: you know how bad the game is, how boring the
19:08
Speaker 1: game is. Yeah it was, And that was a boring
19:09
Speaker 1: game last night, There's no getting around it.
19:11
Speaker 2: And coming off last year's game where you end up
19:13
Speaker 2: with the swing off or whatever, and nobody knew what
19:17
Speaker 2: was going to happen, and it was like the first Yeah,
19:19
Speaker 2: it was the first thing, and everyone's like, what happens?
19:22
Speaker 3: We don't even know? And then you go to this here.
19:23
Speaker 1: You're like, oh man, yeah, I mean there was a
19:26
Speaker 1: lot of action in the first inning and then there
19:27
Speaker 1: really was no more action the rest of the game.
19:30
Speaker 1: You just watched American relief pitchers dominate National League All Stars. Yeah,
19:35
Speaker 1: that's what you watched last night. And I will admit
19:37
Speaker 1: it wasn't the most thrilling of games. And I knew
19:40
Speaker 1: that it was going to take it right between the
19:42
Speaker 1: eyes for the next twelve twenty four hours pr wise.
19:45
Speaker 1: So I'm braced for it because it's not done yet,
19:47
Speaker 1: because all talk show hosts across America have to take
19:50
Speaker 1: their shots at my favorite sport and one of my
19:52
Speaker 1: favorite sporting events. But there's no way I can't defend it.
19:57
Speaker 1: It was pretty boring as far as major sporting events.
20:00
Speaker 1: It was very boring as far as major sporting events go.
20:03
Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
20:04
Speaker 1: rest of the show.
20:08
Speaker 3: What's on Tech?

Speaker 1: dot com. So the American League one over the National
20:25
Speaker 1: League forod to nothing, and the All Star Game is over.
20:28
Speaker 1: The All Star festivities are over, and now baseball embraces
20:32
Speaker 1: two full days off for everyone before they restart the
20:35
Speaker 1: season on Friday. The Mariners will be home to take
20:38
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco Giants Friday night. Pretty soft landing
20:42
Speaker 1: spot to get the second half of the season started.
20:45
Speaker 1: We won't spend much time on it today, but the
20:47
Speaker 1: next couple of days we'll spend some time on figuring
20:49
Speaker 1: out the starting rotation going forward and so many other
20:52
Speaker 1: things in regards to the second half of the Mariners season, which,
20:55
Speaker 1: of course we're all anticipating a much better second half
20:59
Speaker 1: than we got in the first. Cody Bellinger, by the way,
21:01
Speaker 1: was named the MVP. And there's another negative part about this.
21:05
Speaker 1: Not many MVPs of All Star games that went that failed.
21:10
Speaker 1: I mean, he was one for three with a single
21:13
Speaker 1: and he won the MVP last night. Even he joked
21:16
Speaker 1: about it afterwards, he goes, I didn't even hit that
21:18
Speaker 1: ball hard. Yeah, and yet I got the MVP of
21:21
Speaker 1: the game last night.
21:22
Speaker 3: At that point, Randy Rose Arena had just as much
21:24
Speaker 3: of an argument.
21:25
Speaker 1: Pretty much. Pretty much, Randy Rose Arena did go one
21:28
Speaker 1: for two and did not make any base running mistakes
21:32
Speaker 1: and didn't low after any balls.
21:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, see, they're MVP. Should have won it.
21:36
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about the Mariners later on. In the
21:38
Speaker 1: show World Cup yesterday, Spain took it to France. Wow,
21:41
Speaker 1: two nil was the final. We'll talk more about that

21:49
Speaker 1: second team that will play for the World Cup. Argentina
21:52
Speaker 1: versus England today at noon, and it sounds like almost
21:55
Speaker 1: the entire world is rooting for England. I didn't realize
21:59
Speaker 1: Argentine his soccer program was so hated universally, but sounds
22:04
Speaker 1: like that it is. We'll talk to Danny Jackson about
22:06
Speaker 1: that at seven oh five. Brady Cannon's going to join
22:08
Speaker 1: us at eight o'clock. The Open Championship is tomorrow. Yeah,

Speaker 1: on us. And today we'll start breaking it down for
22:21
Speaker 1: you and Brady we get for every major. He's excellent.
22:25
Speaker 1: He'll join us at eight o'clock. Major Golf Challenge, by

Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Believe It or Not, Our Huskies one
22:45
Speaker 1: series continues today with Cam Cleveland joining us at nine
22:48
Speaker 1: o'clock to talk about tight ends and offensive lineman. Lebron
22:52
Speaker 1: Watch continues and Adam Silver yesterday had his Board of
22:56
Speaker 1: Governor's meeting with the media, and he was in Las
23:01
Speaker 1: Vegas to give us the details of that Board of
23:04
Speaker 1: Governor's a meeting. So we're going to talk about what
23:07
Speaker 1: he said yesterday, how it impacts the Sonics and why
23:11
Speaker 1: so many people in prominent positions dragged their feet to
23:15
Speaker 1: an embarrassing level. We'll get into that next. It's Chuck
23:17
Speaker 1: and Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three kh A
23:20
Speaker 1: r f M. Today, I want to talk about feet draggers.
23:44
Speaker 3: Oh, I despise them, do.
23:48
Speaker 1: You because I was going to call out our own bosses?
23:50
Speaker 2: Oh, pretend I didn't see it.
23:54
Speaker 1: Probably should have warned you in advance of.
23:55
Speaker 3: That, kiddy. You guys are great, But I mean.
24:03
Speaker 1: If you're sitting there in your in your office right
24:07
Speaker 1: now and you have gone home for eleven consecutive nights
24:11
Speaker 1: and complained about your boss dragon his or her feet, like,
24:14
Speaker 1: why can't we we know what decisions we got to make.
24:16
Speaker 1: Can we just make them? Just do it? Yeah? You
24:19
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's not just you, just like I
24:23
Speaker 1: want to tell Ashley, it's not just us, Okay, it's
24:26
Speaker 1: everywhere in the world. I don't know why. I mean,
24:28
Speaker 1: it seems like we get a lot of things accomplished
24:31
Speaker 1: as a community. Yes, as a globe. Seems like we're
24:34
Speaker 1: always like building bridges and fixing roads. Maybe not in
24:38
Speaker 1: a timely fashion, But that gets back to the feet
24:40
Speaker 1: dragging aspect. It does feel it does feel like we
24:44
Speaker 1: get things done eventually, But I think we're living in
24:48
Speaker 1: the feet dragon is time and the history of the
24:51
Speaker 1: world right now.
24:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what's the most annoying part about
24:54
Speaker 2: that is then the feet draggers like to comment on
24:58
Speaker 2: the little things I accomplished on the way to the
25:01
Speaker 2: big things, like, oh, well, yeah, we know this is
25:04
Speaker 2: taken along, but look at this bouquet of flowers I've made,
25:08
Speaker 2: and I wove this basket all on my own.
25:10
Speaker 1: Took me seventeen years to finish it.
25:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, but look at it. Yeah, And then don't look
25:15
Speaker 3: at the rest of this stuff.
25:16
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I guess I'm a feed tragger. I've
25:19
Speaker 1: written a lot of books and I've not really tried
25:22
Speaker 1: to pursue publishing them because when I tried it the
25:24
Speaker 1: first time, I ran into so many walls. I'm like,
25:28
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this. I don't I like writing.
25:30
Speaker 1: I don't want to be my own publisher. I don't
25:32
Speaker 1: want to be my own pr team. And so maybe
25:35
Speaker 1: I'm a fee tragger. I don't know, but it feels
25:38
Speaker 1: like our bosses are all feet draggers. And the NBA
25:44
Speaker 1: might be the greatest example of this. I think Adam
25:47
Speaker 1: Silver is really good at what he does for the
25:49
Speaker 1: most part. I mean, I've got my problems with him.
25:51
Speaker 1: A lot of people do. But what NBA, what commissioner
25:55
Speaker 1: of a league do we not have problems with Yeah,
25:57
Speaker 1: I certainly have my fair share of problems with Roger,
26:00
Speaker 1: and he seems to be running a pretty good operation there.
26:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a lot of problems with you people.
26:05
Speaker 1: Seems to be the head of a pretty powerful empire,
26:08
Speaker 1: that Roger Goodell. And yet I could pick him apart
26:10
Speaker 1: for days on the things that I don't like that
26:13
Speaker 1: he does. He gets booed everywhere he goes, for goodness
26:15
Speaker 1: sake because of those shortcomings. Well, Adam Silver, I mean,
26:20
Speaker 1: he has the Board of Governor's meeting in Vegas yesterday,
26:23
Speaker 1: he meets with the media, he discloses the latest with
26:27
Speaker 1: everything going on in the National Basketball Association, and before
26:31
Speaker 1: I get to the Sonics, I will just just to
26:34
Speaker 1: illustrate my entire point for how I started this segment.
26:40
Speaker 1: He actually said yesterday, when asked about the Kawhi Leonard situation,
26:45
Speaker 1: that's something we probably need to get done before the
26:48
Speaker 1: season starts.
26:50
Speaker 3: Something you probably need to get done, I think he
26:52
Speaker 3: said probably.
26:53
Speaker 1: Either way, he said something to the effect of, that's
26:57
Speaker 1: something we're going to need to get done before the
26:59
Speaker 1: season starts. Probably, Adam, no effing kidding, What do you
27:04
Speaker 1: mean that's something to get it done now. Your investigation
27:09
Speaker 1: needs to end.
27:10
Speaker 3: Now has it been going on for like ten months?
27:13
Speaker 1: There are teams that are there's a trade on hold,
27:16
Speaker 1: a major trade, and the Raptors can't do anything more
27:20
Speaker 1: with their off season, and the Clippers can't do anything
27:23
Speaker 1: more with their off season while you keep this trade
27:27
Speaker 1: on hold, and you're saying your timeline is that, yeah,
27:31
Speaker 1: we should get this, We should get this done before
27:33
Speaker 1: the season begins. Season begins.
27:37
Speaker 3: What are you talking about not October today?
27:39
Speaker 1: Today is Tuesday, which is yesterday. That should be done
27:42
Speaker 1: by the end of the workday. The investigation is over,
27:46
Speaker 1: make a ruling, make a decision. Teams are waiting, players
27:49
Speaker 1: are waiting on what their future is. You've had a
27:53
Speaker 1: year to investigate this. Yeah, what do you mean it's
27:57
Speaker 1: you're going to get it done by the beginning of
27:59
Speaker 1: the season. Is that a date and have it done
28:02
Speaker 1: like this is not hard?
28:04
Speaker 2: Well, and they should have set the date three months
28:05
Speaker 2: ago and had it done by then so that it
28:07
Speaker 2: wasn't going to affect anyone in their draft. And there
28:11
Speaker 2: around the draft and a Brown, what picks they wanted
28:13
Speaker 2: to trade for and abound, what moves they wanted to absolutely.
28:16
Speaker 1: I mean, the Clippers have been out of the playoffs
28:19
Speaker 1: for a long time. Like how you didn't go in
28:23
Speaker 1: with your two best guys and you know, investigate the
28:27
Speaker 1: hell out of this thing so that you can make
28:29
Speaker 1: a ruling the moment the off season began, like the
28:34
Speaker 1: moment the NBA finals, have your celebration and the next
28:38
Speaker 1: morning you should have announced a ruling on the Kawhi
28:40
Speaker 1: Leonard thing so that the Clippers and Raptors knew. And
28:44
Speaker 1: if you want to punish the Clippers, fine, but the
28:46
Speaker 1: Raptors and anybody else that was interested in Kawhi Leonard
28:50
Speaker 1: needed to know what the score was on whether or
28:52
Speaker 1: not he was going to be eligible next year. You
28:54
Speaker 1: are holding two franchises, one completely innocent hostage of making
28:59
Speaker 1: their off season plans because you can't expedite an investigation
29:05
Speaker 1: and make a ruling that you've had months to figure out.
29:09
Speaker 1: And that leads us to the Sonics. How did we
29:13
Speaker 1: not get more concrete information yesterday? How did the press
29:18
Speaker 1: conference end in regards to the Sonics decision with we
29:24
Speaker 1: should have this wrapped up by year's end, right, We
29:29
Speaker 1: hope that it will be wrapped up by year's end.
29:34
Speaker 1: What on earth are you dragging your feet? Do you
29:38
Speaker 1: even have feet left? You've been dragging your feet on
29:41
Speaker 1: this for so long. I'm surprised you don't have bloody
29:45
Speaker 1: stubs for feet at this point, like the toes should
29:48
Speaker 1: be worn off up to the shin for goodness sake?
29:52
Speaker 1: For how long you've been dragging your feet and bony,
29:55
Speaker 1: stubby ankle parts through the muck in order to to
30:00
Speaker 1: make this decision? I mean, did the sale of the
30:05
Speaker 1: Seahawks delay this even more?
30:07
Speaker 3: There's always something.
30:09
Speaker 1: Did you think, oh, wow, maybe we're not charging enough
30:13
Speaker 1: nine point six billion dollars? Wait, let's keep this thing
30:16
Speaker 1: open for a little while longer. Let's use this press
30:19
Speaker 1: conference to tell all potential billionaires. Hey, this is a
30:24
Speaker 1: really smart businessman, this Koshla guy, and he's investing in
30:27
Speaker 1: professional sports. He upped the anti fifty nine percent over
30:32
Speaker 1: the last jump an expanse, not an expansion process, but
30:38
Speaker 1: NFL value. He uped at fifty nine percent from the
30:43
Speaker 1: last sale that we had. We're not anywhere close to
30:46
Speaker 1: those numbers. So here, ye, all billionaires out there, you
30:51
Speaker 1: might want to study this Microsoft Sun Microsystems guy over here.
30:56
Speaker 1: He's investing for a reason, and he's really smart. I
30:59
Speaker 1: need more money and I need more people involved in
31:03
Speaker 1: the process. Is that what happened, because that's what I'm
31:06
Speaker 1: reading into it, just another excuse for you to delay
31:10
Speaker 1: what seems to be an obvious decision. You have been
31:15
Speaker 1: teasing around about expanding in the NBA. You have already
31:19
Speaker 1: chosen Seattle in Las Vegas. You were supposed to be
31:22
Speaker 1: vetting them and having a decision by this time, and
31:27
Speaker 1: we're going to kick the can down the road until
31:30
Speaker 1: the year. Hopefully by year's end he take that am
31:35
Speaker 1: highest bid and let's go like, hold an auction, have
31:40
Speaker 1: a public auction, have a private auction, have a silent auction.
31:44
Speaker 1: I don't care. You already know Seattle's in one way
31:47
Speaker 1: or the other. If you're gonna just continuously wait for well,
31:51
Speaker 1: you gotta wait on that sale. Let's see what that
31:54
Speaker 1: what that what fruit that bears? Oh, let's find out
31:57
Speaker 1: what this Portland situation. We'll get to the bottom of
31:59
Speaker 1: the Portland's situation. Hey, I cannot believe how much longer
32:04
Speaker 1: that they are dragging this thing out, and it is
32:06
Speaker 1: absolutely unnecessary. You have been teasing around about this for four, five, six, seven,
32:12
Speaker 1: eight years, make a plan, let's go with it. Stop
32:18
Speaker 1: dicking around. It's time to announce whether they're going to
32:21
Speaker 1: expand or not, or whether you're going to move to
32:24
Speaker 1: franchises or not, or how those two things are going
32:27
Speaker 1: to intertwine. But man to have a press conference in
32:32
Speaker 1: a Board of Governor's meeting and give us another loose
32:35
Speaker 1: date way in the future, it is absurd.
32:39
Speaker 2: Well, and this is why when we got the announcement
32:42
Speaker 2: about that they were looking at it, or they were
32:44
Speaker 2: going to have talks about it, or they were going
32:46
Speaker 2: to investigate the possibility of expansion to Seattle in Vegas.
32:52
Speaker 2: I didn't get too excited because it's the same stuff
32:55
Speaker 2: we keep hearing all the time and all the time.
32:57
Speaker 2: And yes, is it getting more solid as the year
33:00
Speaker 2: go on.
33:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
33:01
Speaker 2: The chances that we get a team back, they're getting
33:04
Speaker 2: higher as the years go on.
33:05
Speaker 3: But when are we going to get a team back?
33:07
Speaker 2: When that happens, I just don't have any faith in
33:09
Speaker 2: it nor so I've said it from the beginning, I
33:12
Speaker 2: will continue to say it. I will not be excited
33:15
Speaker 2: about us getting a team until that whole thing is stamped.
33:18
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna invest my energy into the NBA and
33:22
Speaker 2: the word vomit that they do or don't spew, because
33:26
Speaker 2: there's always something that comes first, always.
33:29
Speaker 1: And I think you represent a lot of people listening
33:32
Speaker 1: out there. I think the year or the voice of
33:33
Speaker 1: that person. I believe it's done. I think the Sonics
33:37
Speaker 1: now it might be expansion, and it might be relocation.
33:41
Speaker 1: I think the Sonics are coming back. But the but
33:44
Speaker 1: and I think Adam Silver knows that the Sonics are
33:46
Speaker 1: coming back. But my goodness, every single time you open
33:51
Speaker 1: your mouth, it's just to announce the world a new
33:55
Speaker 1: soft deadline that you've extended six more months into the future.
33:59
Speaker 2: And no, and nothing about the deadline that is now
34:02
Speaker 2: passing that you had talked about last time. Like they're
34:05
Speaker 2: not sitting there saying, yeah, we know we said something
34:07
Speaker 2: would happen in July, but they're they just don't acknowledge it.
34:11
Speaker 3: They just moved to the next one.
34:12
Speaker 1: He's thrown. I mean, he's like the agent of the
34:16
Speaker 1: football player who says there's a lot of interest in
34:19
Speaker 1: our guys, even though there's only one team that's really interested.
34:22
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure there is a lot of interest. I'm
34:25
Speaker 1: sure there are very few that are seriously interested. And
34:29
Speaker 1: yet I think he saw that nine point six billion
34:32
Speaker 1: dollar sale in the National Football League and thought we
34:34
Speaker 1: can do better. Let me float out there are a
34:38
Speaker 1: lot of interested parties, not just the one you know about,
34:42
Speaker 1: and I want to tantalize others to get into the
34:45
Speaker 1: bidding so that we can jack these prices up. And
34:48
Speaker 1: apparently the Vegas interest is a little is a lot
34:51
Speaker 1: softer than the Seattle interest, and so he probably wants
34:55
Speaker 1: to stir that pot a little bit more. He's probably
34:58
Speaker 1: wanting to use the nine points six billion dollar sale
35:01
Speaker 1: to try to drum up other billionaires to get into
35:04
Speaker 1: the professional sports world. Since Cosla thinks it's such a
35:07
Speaker 1: great investment, that's probably what he's doing. But it is intolerable. Hey,
35:14
Speaker 1: how many more times are you going to extend this
35:18
Speaker 1: soft deadline? Stop dragging your feet? Make a decision. You
35:22
Speaker 1: know you've already made your decision. It's just a matter
35:25
Speaker 1: of who you're going to sell it to and for
35:27
Speaker 1: how much. That's all it is, and whether or not
35:30
Speaker 1: Portland gets to keep its team and Memphis gets to
35:33
Speaker 1: keep its team. Those are the decisions you already know.
35:36
Speaker 1: The answers you're just trying to get more money from
35:41
Speaker 1: the answers that you've already arrived at. That's how I
35:45
Speaker 1: read it all. And I get why it's annoying and aggravating,
35:48
Speaker 1: especially those of you who are you know, died in
35:53
Speaker 1: the wools Sonics fans that have been tortured the last
35:57
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty years. I get it. I get where you're
36:01
Speaker 1: coming from. But I think I don't think you have
36:03
Speaker 1: to worry about getting a team. But I don't know
36:04
Speaker 1: when this right, this guy's going to get around to
36:08
Speaker 1: actually pooping. I mean he's been sitting on the pot
36:11
Speaker 1: for two decades. Yeah, but I don't know. Maybe eat
36:15
Speaker 1: more fiber let's go. Yeah, and that's the ye ha
36:18
Speaker 1: scone and some coffee. It works for me.
36:22
Speaker 3: Thank you for that, all right.
36:24
Speaker 1: Danny Jackson's going to join us at seven oh five
36:27
Speaker 1: World Cup yesterday. We'll talk about it on Sports Radio
36:30
Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM.
36:32
Speaker 3: Hmmbarrassing, im bounced.
36:38
Speaker 2: I was really proud of myself for coming up with
36:39
Speaker 2: that song for that, and he was left.
36:41
Speaker 1: And bewildered by the events. I kind of blame him.
36:46
Speaker 1: I kind of like this. I think this is actually
36:49
Speaker 1: kind of funny that Killian and Bope gets knocked out
36:54
Speaker 1: by Spain yesterday two to nothing, and he blames the coach,
36:59
Speaker 1: and then and the coach blames the refs.
37:03
Speaker 3: So whose fault is I would love for the refs.
37:06
Speaker 1: Who never get to defend themselves, to blame Himbape. That
37:09
Speaker 1: would be just full circle. Now it was Babe's fault.
37:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he definitely did. He's stunk it up big
37:14
Speaker 3: time today, folks.
37:17
Speaker 1: But yes, Spain advances yesterday over France, so Frances out.
37:23
Speaker 1: France had looked like the best team throughout the tournament,
37:26
Speaker 1: but maybe they hadn't been tested. I saw the Jackson
37:28
Speaker 1: Felts put out there, like, you can blame the coach
37:31
Speaker 1: or the refs all you want. Your midfield got dominated.
37:36
Speaker 3: Domination.
37:37
Speaker 1: Yes, so that was Jackson Felt's two cents about it.
37:40
Speaker 1: We'll get Danny Jackson's two cents about it as well.
37:43
Speaker 1: Here were my two cents. And again this is coming
37:46
Speaker 1: from a person that has not I have to remind
37:50
Speaker 1: people I don't really even like the sports, so I'm
37:53
Speaker 1: certainly not going to try to come off as an expert.
37:55
Speaker 1: But I've been spending the entire month doing a lot
37:58
Speaker 1: more soccer interviews than I've ever done in my life
38:01
Speaker 1: and really enjoying them. I mean, we've had some great
38:03
Speaker 1: people on, including Danny will be with us at seven
38:05
Speaker 1: o five breaking this down and making sense of it
38:09
Speaker 1: all for us. But my kind of feeling through the
38:12
Speaker 1: entire thing is if one player can dominate a match
38:16
Speaker 1: so much that if he scores two goals, you're going
38:18
Speaker 1: to win by two, then why don't you just go
38:21
Speaker 1: all out to try to stop that one player? And
38:25
Speaker 1: I've been given reasons as to why that can't happen,
38:28
Speaker 1: and yet kind of look like that's what Spain did yesterday.
38:32
Speaker 1: He's not going to beat us. Every time the ball
38:34
Speaker 1: gets near him, We're going to tackle him, and we're
38:37
Speaker 1: gonna do it legally because we don't want yellow cards
38:40
Speaker 1: and we don't want free kicks and we don't want
38:41
Speaker 1: red cards. But as long as we are clean in
38:47
Speaker 1: our defense of him, we're not gonna let him breathe.
38:50
Speaker 1: And to me, that's why they won. Yeah. But then again,
38:54
Speaker 1: I'm not very bright.
38:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you are bright, just not about soccer. Ignorant, Yeah,
39:00
Speaker 2: And I'm less bright. I'm duller about soccer. So I'm
39:04
Speaker 2: gonna say, yes, you're right.
39:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't know. I would like to see
39:09
Speaker 1: because I want England to win today. I'd like to
39:10
Speaker 1: see them do the same thing to MESSI give it
39:12
Speaker 1: a shot. Yeah, because by the way, if you try
39:15
Speaker 1: to do that to.
39:16
Speaker 3: Caine, yeah you got Bellingham right there.
39:18
Speaker 1: You've opened yourself up to be beat by the better player.
39:21
Speaker 3: Yeah.
39:21
Speaker 1: But then again, I'm ignorant. What do I know?
39:24
Speaker 3: Seems like a good plan of me, though.
39:25
Speaker 1: What do I know about soccer? But we'll get into
39:28
Speaker 1: some of this with the Danny Jackson in our next minute.
39:31
Speaker 1: We'll see what he thought was the reason for Spain's
39:34
Speaker 1: utter dominance of France yesterday in a two nil upset defeat.
39:40
Speaker 1: Slide upset though, I mean Spain's considered powerhouse themselves. I
39:44
Speaker 1: think Jackson did pick Spain to win. I know we
39:47
Speaker 1: did pick Spain to win it all at the beginning
39:50
Speaker 1: of this process. And so they're one step closer and
39:54
Speaker 1: they'll find out their opponent for the World Cup final
39:57
Speaker 1: a little bit later on today, which you could hear
39:59
Speaker 1: right here at Sports ninety three point three. K J
