  Speaker 2: the Toronto maple Leagus nineteen goals this season. Big body

  Speaker 2: thanks for doing this this week as you always do,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: but thanks for being flexible with us on the trade
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: deadline day of our National Hockey League team.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: So I appreciate that and it's great to talk to you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: How are you, my friend?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm doing well. How is New York? How is
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: New York? Is it true they're shooting lawn Order on
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: your street corner?
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: They did it last night.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: There were trucks out, they had three different police cars
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: that they brought in. There was a big boom crane.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: I think Law and Order is the quintessential New York show.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Like maybe some would say Seinfeld, perhaps thirty Rock. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: think it's Law and Order.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: I was legitimately excited. It was pouring rain, and I
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: went and watched them film it for a solid fifteen
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: to twenty minutes.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I think it speaks to the enormity of how big
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: New York City is.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: For the following, how long have you been in New York?
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: Six years?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Six years you've been in New York and you've never
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: had a Law and Order episode filmed in your neighborhood before.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: In my neighborhood, my wife did see iced tea across
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: the street from her work. But that isn't that's it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: That's it's a Law and Order variant. It's Law and
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Order SVU, so it doesn't and it wasn't our neighbor
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: that was indown.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: That just speaks how big was Now did you get
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: on there? I know you're trying to become an extra.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: I wanted to be the corpse or I wanted to
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: be the person who finds the corpse and is like, oh,
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: looks like somebody ran out of time. It might have
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: reached the dead end.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Sure, that's some good screenwriting right there.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: That CSI is more that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, someone usually someone dies, gets murdered, assaulted, or worse
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in that and in a Law and Order up Lawn
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Order is a great show just because it has stood
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the test of time forever. Like you can just flip
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: on the TV and there's probably an episode you haven't
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: seen it's on at that point in time. Right, that's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the best thing about that damn show.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Yes, that and the noise, the noise that moves you
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: through dunk.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Dunk, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: It's a great Yeah, yeah, I went looked it up.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: This is thirty five years. It's been on for thirty
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: five years.
• 5:07

  Speaker 2: them coming on our station and helping support so many
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the great things that we do, including our friend Danny O'Neil.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: All Right, lots to get to today, buddy, I'm gonna
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: get to the Seahawks a second. I really want to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: sink my teeth into that. I loved, absolutely loved what.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: You wrote today about that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Now I say that I can also tell you that
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: as I read that, I've tried to live by some
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of the words you wrote. We'll get to that in
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a second. It's hard, though, it's very hard. Most Seahawks
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: fans are not living by those words. I did mention
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic with Andrews coming in. He is
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: our official World Baseball Classic U correspondent, Andrews.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Do you have any other update from the WBC.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Actually the game isn't final, but Nextico is up six
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: to one in the top of the ninth, so we
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: may see. Andres Muniez, there's no need to you're up now,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: now you don't?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you're up by five. Okay, thank you, Dandy.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Do you have World Baseball Classic fever?
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah? I really enjoy the World Baseball Classic. I think
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: it's one of the really cool things that they've developed.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: It's a great marketing tactic. I wish that there was
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: there's been an issue with insurance this year. There's a
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: number of players kind of weirdly that did not get
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: approved to play. I really wish that they would iron
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: that out. And I know that there are some limits
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: that teams worry about, like the amount of throwing. There
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: is that you're Drew Smiley came back from the World
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: Baseball Classic with a soggy arm and it kind of
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: screwed the Mariners season. But I really I do I
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: love the event.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting point, because most people have
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: talked to we've kind of done this all week, have
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: said they liked the event, they liked the premise, they
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: don't like the timing insurance as part of that maybe
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: as well. I think I'm trying to think who it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: was that came up with the idea this week guys
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that that I loved. Actually I was Joe Sheen, maybe
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: earlier in the week where you play like some of
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the preliminary rounds with some of the lower teams early
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: like now, and then you take a week or two
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: often the season world Four Nations hockey style like they
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: did a couple of years ago, and then the top
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: three or four or five or six teams play. We
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: don't need we don't need All Star Weekend anymore. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: think the NBA has proven that the NHL basically has
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: all but gotten rid of it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Obo.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I think they're bringing it back next year before another
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Four Nations or World Cup events, So I think there's
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: a better way to do it timing wise, Danny. But
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I did find myself curiously, you know, intrigued by it
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: as we got closer and games started today.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would agree with you. I think going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: a more either year round or staged format would be better.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: But I do watching how pumped up players get for playing,
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: and I'm look legitimately intrigued to see how the US
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: team does. But it's cool that cal Rawley and Aaron
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: judge it's easier for position players than it is for pictures,
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: and I understand that, but I would agree with you.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: I think it would benefit from a change in timing
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: and at the very least not creating a scenario where
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: you have pictures trying to ramp up at a time
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: where they usually would be kind of easing into things
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: and just working on stuff in spring training.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Daniel O'Neil joining US courtesy in Northwest Handling Systems. All right,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: this is now, it's cracking. Aren't nearly at the level
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: in terms of the you know, the massive interest that
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: an NFL team is. We all understand that today's trade
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: deadline day in the NHL, and there's but there is
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: massive consternation amongst Crack and fans. Anyway, they wanted to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: see the big move, a blockbuster. They made a minor move.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: They got better. How much better remains to be seen.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: They got a little bit better with Bobby McMahon coming in,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: But that's kind of the appetizer. Today's NHL trade deadline
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: for what happens on Monday, and it's not a trade deadline.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Trade deadlines is in the NFL is kind of boring,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: although the Seahawks have made moves even this year. But
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: what comes Monday, Danny's legal tampering. I'm gonna read this.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: This is I love this headline. I promise it's all
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: going to be okay. Sub headline, The Seahawks are going
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to lose players in free agency. They might lose a
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: lot of players in free agency, but that doesn't give
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: anyone the right to throw a fit about it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: You had told it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You're asking people not to throw, not to freak out
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: on Monday, when NFL teams can begin negotiating with free agents. Danny,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: you can ask all you want, you will not receive, sir,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: you will not receive what you're asking for.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: I can't decide whether most of the people starting to
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: get worried because I'm even seeing it now. Is that
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: a Twitter phenomenon? Is that just mostly people that are
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: on Twitter because we know what's going to happen. The
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: last time Seattle won a Super Bowl, they lost, it
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: was six or seven free agents. It just left. They
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: re signed Michael Bennett, and that had been the year
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: before even that they they they held they held things together,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: but they didn't make any free agent acquisitions. That people
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: need to be compared for the possibility that you might lose.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: I think you're I think it's fairly certain that Rik
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: will and will find elsewhere. I also tend to think
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: that that Kenneth Walker. I've tried to believe that he's
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: going to be back, but I don't think that's the
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: case anymore. And you're probably gonna lose Rashid Shaheat as well,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: and people are going to be really concerned, and you
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: just I just point to the overall track record in
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: sixteen years. Name the free agents that Seattle has lost
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: that have really wound up going on and playing better
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: somewhere else that you really wound up kicking yourself for.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: And I think it's only one that's a slam dunk.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: That's Golden Tate too. I still have some questions about
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: Damian Lewis, who was the guard that went to Carolina
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: a couple of years ago, But that's even unless you
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: paid a lot of money to do it. People really
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: just have to keep it in perspective. This is what's
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: going to happen. They're not going to be aggressive. They
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: are going to lose players. I promise it's going to
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: be okay.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: There's so many things in play with with the free
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: agency period in NFL play, and I think one of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: those is there is an emotional attachment people get to players,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: right and especially players that play on a championship team.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I freely admit.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I mean I've talked about off of My favorite team
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: of all time is still the seventy nine Sonics. My
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: emotional attachment to every player on that team was awesome.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: That team also got broken up as soon as they
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: won the title. It kind of lady to get broken
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: up the year they didn't win when they went to
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Game seven of the NBA Finals when the human Racer
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: decided to take off but in Marvin Webster.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: But they they.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: They broke up, and really in that way, it wasn't good.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, Dennis Johnson for Paul Westfall still has to
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: go down. It was one of the worst trades of
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the history of the Sonics franchise. But the the or
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Seattle sports period.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: But it's not just success.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: We have a league that dictates that the salary cap,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you know, tells you what you can and can't do Danny,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: So emotional attachments are one thing. I think the one
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: concerned fans have that would be probably legitimate is when
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the dust settles in a couple three weeks, are you
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: still going to be a football team that's a Super
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Bowl contender? Or is it legitimate to be concerned that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: they could lose enough pieces that you have taken significant
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: steps back prior to a draft that you only have
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: four draft picks.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: In right now.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: The raft component of this is tough, and I'm sure
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: that people will look at the picks they traded for
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Shaheed and say, like, man, that's a lot to give
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: up for our guy that you get for half a season.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: And my answer would be, yeah, it is. You also
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: won the Super Bowl, And I think that makes it
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: harder to resign Shaheed in some senses, because if you
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: hadn't won the Super Bowl, that would be a huge
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: part of your pitch of like, look, we're right on
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: the brick of company each here, we are about to
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: get there, and that you don't have that lure to drop.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: You do have the benefit and this comes later. You
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: do have the benefit of presenting yourself to a veteran
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: who's not looking for maybe the highest per dollar, the
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: highest amount of dollars for this upcoming season, someone who
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: is willing to take a little bit less for the
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: chance to win a championship. They had that happen after
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: twenty fourteen with Kevin Williams. You do get that here,
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: but that's not going to be early. That's not going
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: to be in this first wave of free agency. That
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: Seattle's ability, Seattle's ability to identify the guys that are
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: pivotal and separate those from the nice to have or God,
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: we'd love to keep him, but it's a little too
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: much money. Seattle's just been so good at that. Ernest
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Jones last year, Leonard Williams two years ago. I even
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: go to guys like Will Disley when he became a
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: free agent, Michael Bennett when he became a free agent
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: in twenty fourteen, When it's a really pivotal player, Seattle
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: hasn't ever decided, yeah, we just can't go there and
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: watch that guy go in flourish somewhere else. It just
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: hasn't happened. They're really good at identifying the foundational pieces
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: and those are the ones you need to keep.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree, I think, saying with I think
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the thing with Rashichi he that would be frustrating is
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to me, now again, this is out outside in as
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: if when they went and got him, the plan all
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: along was the Ernest Jones Leonard Williams blueprint.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Right, that was the that was the playbook.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: You give up a lot people yell and scream about
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: giving up, how much you gave up, and but you
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: have full intention, and so does the player, probably because
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: there would have been conversations with the agent and everything
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: else to re sign in Seattle. Maybe what we didn't
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: foresee is Rashid Shiheed making a handful of significant, massive,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: big time plays in you know, the stretch where the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Thursday night football game, the return or the playoffs that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden elevated him to a different level.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: It's kind of it's kind of the catch twenty two Danny, right,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Like you you bring him in, you hope he makes
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: an impact, but then he makes such a massive impact
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: that you may end up losing him. Right, So it's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: like you said, well, what was the price, Well, you
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl, like like, don't complain, and you
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl. But I'm gonna I really believe
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: that they probably were thinking all along that they were
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: going to resign him. He just maybe outplayed even expectations,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: or at least had a number of plays specifically that
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: put him in a different category.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Strange situation because he had such a huge impact, but
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: it wasn't necessarily in the way that we expected. When
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: they got him, I was like, hey, he's one of
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: the fastest players in the league, and I thought with
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Jackson Smith and Jigba and Cooper Kupp, that was a
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: great to add that speed to the outside. He had
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: some big catches, but his his most significant addition by
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: far was as a special teams player, and he flat
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: out with a scoring threat in that his punt return
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: against the Rams is probably it's not probably. It was
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: the turning point of the season, and you're right, it
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: does kind of vault him into that next level. I
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: absolutely think that Rashid Shahat is worth twelve or thirteen
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: million dollars a year. I think he is an extremely
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: valuable receiver. I don't know, given everything that you're going
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: to need to do if you can pay him eighteen
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: or nineteen million dollars a year, and and I think
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: that that's where the market might end up for him.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: And probably some of that is because the teams that
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: are most aggressive and free agency are the ones whose
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: gms are trying to impress their bosses. And going and
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: signing a guy who made these huge plays for the
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: team that won the Super Bowl is something that you
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: can really puff your chest out to your boss and like,
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: that's right, we went and got a game changer there,
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: and look all a parent to him. If you get that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: I just I think the market might move outside of
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: where Seattle's willing to go on him.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: No, I think that's the issue. Like that's what's going
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to come. That's what That's what we're gonna end up seeing.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Is that you you you were the victim of your
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: own success, Danny, and you you look back, You're right,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you know when they win, when they won the Super
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Bowl the first time they lost, you know, you know
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: secondary pieces in the secondary right, remember, like the Merria
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: guys are overpaying for Chris Marrigos.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I think it was Philadelphia and then.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You know Byron Maxwell gets over like all these guys
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: get money that you're like, and by and large, most
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: of those guys ever lived up to those contracts in
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: other places. I think I think your point is really
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: well taken. The culture and the system here in Seattle
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: has allowed some people to flourish and maybe, yeah, go
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: sign the check, get the big money, go wherever you're
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: going to go, but you may not have that same
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: success on the field elsewhere.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And that that when you have to make tough decisions,
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: because that's part of what If you're looking for a
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: team to extend its window, the solution is not keeping
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: the band together for as long as you want. It's
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: being able to identify who are the must haves and
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: who are the nice to have and try to keep
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: as many of the nice to haves as you can.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: But if it comes down to it, you might have
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: to make a discipline decision there, and you absolutely got
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: to retain the must have.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And look how many guys have come back over the years.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's a cycle of life.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: He did come back at.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: The end, and it's I mean appreciated, appreciate what what
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: what's going to be out there? Well, both of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Sak's former quarterbacks that looks like are going to be
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: on the market because they come back free agent. And Smith,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: you know, Smith is getting released from the Raiders, so
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: maybe you no. I think those those those bridges have
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: been passed over. There's no going back on.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Those guys aren't coming back. But Maxie came back, Chuce
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Irvin came back two or three times, Frank Clark came back.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, Jaron Reid came back.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: I mean they are Sweezey came back.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, I forgot about Sweeze. I forgot about Sweeze.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Coming back a solid He came back and had a
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: solid year. Jaren Reid's story is one of the most
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: interesting and perhaps under emphasized sort of tales because he
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: has become a really big part of their culture. Now
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: he's a really important part of their sure and that
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: was a guy who pretty much he asked to be cut.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: They came to him and said, look, we're going to
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: change the way we pay you this last bit of money.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: We're going to give you an extra year, but you're
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: still going to get all the same money. He's like, no,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: if I'm going to change it, I wanted the extensions.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: They're like, no, you don't understand. We're just going to
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: change the structure. You're still going to get all your money.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: He's like, I'm not going to change my contract unless
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: you ex send me and they're like, okay, I guess
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: we'll cut you. And he left like that's how he left.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: And he ends up coming back after going to a
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: couple of places, and he's a huge part of their.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Culture, massive part of their culture.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I think it's well, I think you look at Jay Reid,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: you know, and I think they're always trying to find
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: those guys you know that they did, you know, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking like obviously Witherspoon and jas Center guys
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: are going to extend. But you know, I kind of
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: believe that shennan UoS Whu's kind of one of those
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: guys and often injured this year, finally came back as
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: the year went on and got healthy. You know, his
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: contract's coming up in a little bit, you know, shortly.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to want to keep him around.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: He fits in what they want to do. There's guys
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: like that that that they just want here and are
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: you know, at some point your second cousins Jared Jared
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Reed is still a first cousin to the first era,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: right like he's the one. But but you want to
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: always keep them those those distant you know, relations together
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and I think that's what that's what makes them good.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: And you mentioned it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: And again for every Seahawks fan that is going to
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: be stressed out on Monday, and rightfully so when you
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: see guys signing elsewhere, and they will, you're gonna hear
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: probably early on Ken Walker has agreed to terms with
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: X and you know Riek Wolan has agreed to terms
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: and whatever. John Schneider does have some equity, does he not?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Like I think in John we can trust.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: I think that's pretty fair at this point. It certainly
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: in my mind, should be fair. And people are going
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: to react how they're going to react. I just think
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: that if you look for if you're looking at the
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: overall system that Seattle has set up here, I don't
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: think free agency is the spot where they've run into
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: prop I think free agency has been one of the
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: more that that's bit where they've been among their most
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: effective is when it comes to deciding who to keep
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: and who to make the tough decisions and let.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Walk tell people about the dang apostrophe, sir, Well, the.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: Dang apostrophe provides it's not quite a bird's eye view,
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: it's a it's a pigeons eye view from New York
• 22:24

• 22:44
  Speaker 6: are you there?
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: But that might be copyrighted.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Oh sorry, no, it's right because justice in the game.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: So she didn't listen to broadcast. I was just thinking,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: is well, the Danny O'Neil dang apostrophe is to sports
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: writing what a television broadcast with any old check is
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to a hockey brom. Yeah, you're gonna get a hockey game.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: You're gonna get a hockey game.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: But as I as we found out on Monday, you
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: also learned about, as toddlight Wiki just pointed out as
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: he walked by me a minute ago, it was fun
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to learn about waterbeds bubble gum, and there was one
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: other thing that I was part of.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I can't remember now, but that's what it is.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Bill Walton in his time.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Edzo is he's different than Bill. He doesn't get too
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: far off track, like of something. But yeah, it's much
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: like Dan. You're gonna read about why you shouldn't freak
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: out as a Seahawks fan, but also about law and
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: order being filmed.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: You listen to Edie.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: He listened to ed Zoe doing a broadcast, and it's
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: gonna be bubble gum, waterbeds. We did something else. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: can't remember what the hell was. Why Why am I
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: blanking now?
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Wiki just pointed out? He goes, I was good to
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: learn about all that stuff and we won. I'm like, yeah, yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I learned about it too. That's what it is. Next week.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: We had a lot of order this week. I can't
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: wait to see what the day Apostrophe brings for me
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: My friend sounds greaty and I appreciate you having me on.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That is Daddy Neil brought to my Northwest Handling Systems.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: We'll come back with the thirty two bar and grill
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: NHL trade deadline day. We'll tell you what's going on
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: out here next.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: back to the Infernez powered by Seattle Closest Sports book
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: three point three kJ R FM.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: All right, we're back at the thirty two bar and
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: grill Cracking Community ice Plex. He interness with you on
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: this Friday afternoon. It's NHL Trade deadline day. Trade deadline
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: has come and gone. Teams are finishing and wrapping up.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: The all the information.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: There's a process to this. We're hoping to get Jason
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: botroll on maybe at two thirty today. We're opening at
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the one o'clock hour, but it looks like two thirty
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: is going to be a more realistic situation. Basically, you're
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: in a queue. You got to go through all the
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: legal ease and sign the documents and the NHL process.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: These things in a well in a shockingly development with
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the NHL a a very slow rate. So with that, Saad,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: we wait and we're probably gonna see talk tobots in
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: a bit. Cracking made one little minor move up. I
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: don't minor move that. They got better, Bobby McMahon getting
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: it coming here from Toronto. Nineteen goals already this season,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and so they get they bring him in, which is
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: which is fine. The big splashy move they didn't make,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: not because I'm sure we'll hear, not because of lack
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: of trying, but it didn't. That didn't necessarily happen. But
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: they did make him May They did make a move
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: today that made them a little bit better. We should
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: also mention Jordan Ebley, their captain, who is going to
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: be a pending unrestricted free agent. He did sign a
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: contract extension today, so to your extension for Jordan Eberley.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Cracking right now are in se third or second wildcard spot,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: sixty seven points or one point out of third place
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: in the Pacific Division in terms of points, in terms
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: of point percentage, they're actually ahead of the Oilers who
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: are in third place in the Pacific, but so are
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the San Jose Sharks, so who are right on the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: outside looking in there, three behind Seattle. It really comes
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: down to five or six teams for about four spots
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: when it's all said and done. So tomorrow's game against
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Ottawa is huge. Every game's huge. We'll talk about that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Jordan every in the second anders you my friend along
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: with Chris Crawford and I and Bent, we're on a
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: little text chain. Everyone's going back and forth. I'll go
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: ahead and lean on you your thoughts on what they did.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Does it move the needle for me?
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: If you look at, you know, the players the Crack
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: can already have, I agree, adds a little bit of
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: a goal scoring element to your team that you have.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Now maybe it's also maybe it's also a Jordan sorry,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Jordan Jayden Schwartz replacement, And now that I'm kind of
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: thinking about it as he nears his free agency, so
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: that I think is somewhat of an upgrade if you're
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: looking at the following year year. But in terms of
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: this year, it just it seems like they are very
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: hell bent on making the playoffs, and that's kind of
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: the biggest thing they're trying to aim for at this point,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: because I don't think this move really takes you into
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Stanley Cup contention, and that's kind of the biggest thing
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I'm looking for. Hopefully that happens in the summer. But uh,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: and the other thing is like, how does he fit
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: into this lineup? Does that mean you're sending down Jacob
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Malanson again, which I don't know if that necessarily is
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: a great thing. So they're going to have to figure out,
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: you know, how to fit him in and all that stuff.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: But we'll see kind of how it plays out.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Ryan Winterdon's the guy out who has been a healthy
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: scratch the last couple of games, right, I don't think
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: they're moving, not going.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: But then that means Malansa would probably be scratched.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: I don't who would they scratch instead.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I think you start going into the competition factor, to
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: be honest with.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: You, Okay, so you're looking at like the Freddie Goodrous
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Ben Myers.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think Goodrow. I think Meyers becomes a candidate
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: to scratch.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, I think old Hakos.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I think if I think if Ellie Tolvin doesn't get going,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: yeah you can scratch him. McMahon comes in, by the way,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: with his nineteen goals, and he's right now your second
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: leading goal scorer. Yeah, So I mean it's it's like
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: it terms of goals per game, McCann is number one,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: by the way. Good luck Johnny McCann and nickmahon got
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to those guys in.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: The same line.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: That's worse than having all the Petterson's.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: That he's like not number thirty nine or something like that,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: So it's nineteen and thirty nine. That'd be great, fantastic,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: isn't it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think you know, he's big, he's big,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: and he's physical. He's six, he's sixty three, he's two
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventeen pounds.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: May Lambert also coached him last year.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's a huge deal.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And he is a really good penalty killer who's got
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: nineteen goals and he plays physical. Yeah, he plays, he
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: plays to his size. You're a better hockey team with him.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Are you a Stanley Cup contender? Well, most gms will
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: tell you that any team that's in is a Stanley
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Cup content.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of years that could be the case.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: This year's a different year.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Like there's really kind of a separation between the cream
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: of the crop, especially in the West, and the middle
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: class that's going to be a playoff team, and then
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: there's a bunch of teams that are in the dumpster. Yeah,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: and Sales very much in that middle class. Now Goalie
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: can get hot, win a series or two. Who knows
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: what can happen. But yeah, I mean Nasam Kadri goes
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: to the Colorado Avalanche today back from Calgary, so they
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: get better with him. Although he's you know, he's thirty
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: eight years old, so they're just kind of doing him
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: a favorite and try to get him a chance to win.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think you're a little bit better hockey team.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: So bots will hopefully join us later on. Jordan Ebley,
• 29:39

  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: Happy to be back here for a couple of years. Yeah,
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: I mean I've been here since day one. It's been
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: it's been a ride obviously from year one to now.
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: So it's my family and I We've had two kids here,
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: you know, made this my home.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: I've loved every bit of it. So and it's exciting
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: right now.
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: Obviously in the position that we're in, you know, going
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: down the stretch, I fully expect us to be, you know,
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: in my mind where I think we're going to be.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: We are in full disclosure, pulling the curtain back a
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: little bit. We're taping this with twenty five minutes before
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline goes. You're unrestricted free agent coming up
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: at the end of the season. There's no movement clauses
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: around the league and all this. Let me just ask you,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: in general terms, what is this day like for a player.
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: I mean, I've been on both sides of it. I've
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: I've been in spots where you know, as an individual,
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: at least you feel pretty comfortable you're at, and I've
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: been on the other sides of it where I was like,
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: I had no idea what's going on at You don't
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: know you could be traded any second.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: I mean, at the end of the day, I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: you sign up for this. It's it's a business.
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: You know, Teams try to bolster their team, trying to
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: do the best decisions they can to to think to make.
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: Their squads that they think are going to be better.
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: So you know, it's always uneasy.
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, regardless of how you feel individually,
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: you're gonna have you know, a lot of teammates have
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: been traded, We've added pieces.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: It's it's always a little uneasy feeling.
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: So you know, obviously, like you said, with twenty five
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: minutes here left, things can still happen. But at the
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: end of the day, you wake up tomorrow and it's
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: that's the team that you have and it's go time,
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: regardless of what happens.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what happens, and we'll see how this
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: interview ages in the next little while. And but I
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: mean that it's good perspective to have along the way.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Let me go back to you for seconds. Seattle's a
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: long way from Regina, Saskatchewan and the Prairies. When did
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: you feel like this place was home for you? And
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I know you got a second home elsewhere, but but
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: when did this feel like home?
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: I think from you know, Year one was was tough
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: for me. That summer when the expansion draft happened, I
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: got picked. I had a lot of mixed feelings. I
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: just come from Long Island where we had gone back
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: to back conference finals. Being picked by an expansion team,
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: I didn't really know what to expect. I mean, that
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: was a tough year too, you know, just with the
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: way the season went. You know, we lost a lot
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: of games. It was hard. I think once year two
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: hit and the guys came back motivated and we got
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: into the playoffs. My son was born that year here,
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: you know, it just started to feel like Okay, we're
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: building something. You know, this is that that was an enjoyable,
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: enjoyable season watching the fans and the passion they had.
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: I mean they had that year one two. They showed
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: up every day, but you know that just the way
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: I could see the city get fired. And that's how
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: you build a franchise.
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: You get into the playoffs, you win hockey games, that's
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: how you grow excitement around the team, and that's what
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: we did. Year three was for me, we kind of
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: took a step back in the way that we played it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: Then Year four for me, I was hurt half the year.
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: So I mean this year it kind of feels like
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: year two again. I mean we're back to where, you know,
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: I know that the potential of this group, and we've
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: shown it, maybe not as much as I want it,
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: as much as I think we had showed it, but
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: we still put ourselves in a position, you know that
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: we're in a playoff spot and we're gonna be grinding
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: down the stretch. So it just made sense. I was like,
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: I'm coming back here for sure.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: This is exciting.
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: I love it to hear, my wife, my kids, everyone
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: loves it and just the family and group of it
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: so excited to get that done today.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Jordan Everly joined me, how does that translate for you
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: and others that are here, because I've heard the same
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: thing from Monty and some guys that have come in.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: And he had a great line on Hockey Night in
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Canada last week. I guess it was on after Hours.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I mean I didn't know anything about
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: really Seattle, and I had to kind of check with
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys, and we're kind of still an
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: unknown commodity out here. Everyone knows Vegas when they came
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: in the league because Vegas people go there. Nobody knows
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: about this mark yet. Lets I mean you probably popped
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: in here what three times during juniors, like in and out?
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe, right?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Do you really know anything about Seattle? How do you
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: and other players because there is a sense of recruiting,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: how do you sell Seattle to people, whether it be
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: you know, wanting to you know, wave a no trade
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: clause or even the summer with free agency? What do
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: you tell guys? What do you tell guys around league?
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: What do you hear about this market?
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: Well, I think, first and foremost just the the ownership group.
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: I mean the amenities that we have as a group
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: go above and beyond any team that I've ever played on,
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: from the food to the way we get treated in
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: the locker room to you know this stuff that it's unbelievable.
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: You know, we get treated unbelievable. And then they want
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: to win. I mean they're going after players, they're trying
• 35:32
  Speaker 10: to get better. I think for me that was a
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: that's a huge selling point as I get older that
• 35:36
  Speaker 10: you know, I want to win.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: That's that's what it comes down to.
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: I want to ring, and the willingness that they have
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: to be aggressive to get players. You know, I think
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: the fan base for me there this this is a
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: sports city. I don't think they I mean everyone talks
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: about the Seahawks and the Mariners, but there's the fans
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: that they get behind us. It's it's unbelievable those three things.
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: And for me, you know, you want to plan in
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: a market that cares I do. I think on top
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: of that, I've been in a market in Canada where
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: it's it can be hard, you're under the spotlight a
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: little bit. You don't really have that as much here,
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: which is kind of nice. I mean those are all
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: selling features, and then they're just the city of Seattle.
• 36:12
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, the visually, it's beautiful. I think
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: the one thing that maybe guys get knocked on about
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: there is the rain a little.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Bit, and it's really not that bad. So it's a.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Little maybe today, but most days, most day is not
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: that bad.
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: So I mean it's just for me, it's been an
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: unbelievable place to play. I love it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's well said, and I
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: you know, this team, it feels like it's it's so
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: strange because first of all, Edmonton, I can imagine I
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: can't even imagine how hard it would be to play
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: up there. I can or other Canadian markets at times too.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: You see that like that's Toronto's issue. But you know
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: here there is a little bit of pressure. I mean
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: there's people, you know, I'm hearing from guys today and
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: we're hearing from our listeners today like they want this
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: team to take that next step, and there is some
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: there is some push. So there's kind of a there's
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: probably a good balance along the way.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: What does this.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Team need to do because we've seen the good hell,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: i'd say the great Monday's game against Carolina, that's an
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: elite Stanley Cup contending team. You guys, I don't look
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: at the shots on goal. I don't think any of
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: us really do, because they shoot from they shoot from
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: the space need that team does. But what you guys
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: did in that game defensively, your structure, getting the timely
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: goals to get that win, and then you bounce back
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: and have what happened on Wednesday. Yeah, it's the ups
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: and downs. It feels like sometimes you play to the
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: level of competition. What does this team need to do
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: to Jordan take that next step and get to the postseason.
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I've heard that question about Carolina and
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: then Saint Louis. I think the one thing for me,
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: as I've put in this say that was an original question. No,
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: I've had that one the other day. Yeah, they were
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: asking me about it, and and the reality of.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: This for me is this is this league is such
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: it's just so hard.
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: Every team is good. I think people look at the standings.
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: You see where Carolina was at and we're probably not
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: favored going into that game, and we come out right,
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: and then they go into the Gangs game against St. Louis,
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: They're like, oh, they should win this one. Based on
• 37:49
  Speaker 10: the state. But every team in this league is good.
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: It doesn't matter how you play. You know, you're every
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: team any night doesn't you have a chance to win.
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: Each team does. And that's just the reality of this
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: league and that's why it's so hard to win a
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: Stanley Cup. So, you know, Saint Louis doesn't get enough
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: credit for how good of a team they are. You know,
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: we definitely had our stretches in that game where they
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: kind of took it to us, but I like the
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: way that we pushed back a little bit too. But
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: for to answer your question, to get over the hump,
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: you know, I've seen the potential and not just in
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: the Carolina game, but the games before the break, the
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: last three weeks, two weeks, the style of hockey that
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: we were playing. And I've been on some team I've
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: been on teams that are really good, and I've been
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: on teams that, you know, I knew that we weren't good.
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: And playing in the last three weeks of this season
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: or before the break, the way that we were playing,
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: I was like, Wow, we're not just going to get in,
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: but we're going to be a tough team to beat.
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: And you know, I think we started the break off
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: here a little rusty. We got back to it in
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: Carolina and Vancouver and and and stretches against Saint Louis.
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: I saw it too, where I was like, you know,
• 38:50
  Speaker 10: we're back and I and I'm not so much. Word
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: is if we get back to that that way that
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: we're playing and we do it consistently at sixty minutes,
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: like I said, we're not just gonna get it and
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: we're gonna be a tough team to.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Beat had it to start. I'll wrap it up quickly
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: with this. You know, three years ago when this team
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: did go to the playoffs, we felt it in that
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: building every single night, and I think we're gonna feel it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: And you know that team was different too, because by
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: this time that year, you guys were kind of in
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: like it was, you were kind of in every game.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Now it's a cliches, massive sports radio cliche every game
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: is a playoff game. But that's probably how you guys
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: approach it, and hopefully that's how the fans feel it
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: the rest of the way.
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah. No, that's and that's what makes it fun. That's
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: that's makes it enjoyable. I love that.
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: I mean to be in a position where you're playing
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: meaningless games to finish the year as miserable as an
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: older guy. Yeah, that's why I get the beer going.
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: We got to get going in playoffs again.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: It's miserable for us on the TV side too, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: the radio case issue. Now we're gonna have some fun
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: starting tomorrow. Self Promotion six thirty television show begins tomorrow
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: seven o'clock Drop of the pack on the KRACK and

  Speaker 2: NHL trade deadline has come and gone. Crack and did
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: make a move today. I'd say kind of a medium
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: size move. They pick up Bobby McMahon from the Toronto
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: maple leaves exchange for a second or fourth round draft pick.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: McMahon comes in immediately becomes your second leading goal scorer.
• 40:29

  Speaker 1: Now with Gary Parrish, here's the in forness.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Oh I love the music, Andrew, are you pumping your
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: fist again?
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: You?
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Are you pumping your fist again? I got it all
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: of a tournament.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: It's somewhat dated, but if you want a good listener,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: you like that song, and I think Gary would endorse this.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: All you have to do is go listen to I
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: believe it was last Sundays I on College Basketball podcast
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: and you get about a two and a half minute
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Matt Norland or his co host does a little little narrative,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: little essay on what march is all about, and then
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: you hit that guitar and boom.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Gary, Am I right? How good? Is that?
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: Wonderful? I always appreciate him taking the time to do
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: that because people enjoy it and I don't have the
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: time or the technical ability to put something like that together.
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: But so I'm glad. I'm glad that's what he does.
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: I contribute in other ways.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: You do, you do indeed, great to have you on.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: All brought to you by Nola Brewing out of Spokane,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: our good friends John and Cindy Bryant. No Lie Spokane
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: locally owned brewery, fantastic beer. If you're over there for
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: a Gonzaga game or on the East Side, I know
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot of people that know where there soon,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: if not this weekend actually for the middle school basketball tournament,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: make sure you go check out No Lie in the
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: beer house. The brew house fantastic. The beer hall is awesome.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: So we love those guys, thank them for the support.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: With Gary Parrish each and every week. Gary, I've got
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: recring news for you. For my friend, we'll get to
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: the march Manason, I got recruiting news for you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: Let's hear it.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: So I was yesterday I went down. We do.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I do a show every year at the Washington State
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: High School Basketball Tournament for the two larger classifications three
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: A and four A, and so I gotta lay eyes
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: for the first time this year on Tyrane Stokes from
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Rainier Beach High School, who's thought to be maybe the
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: number one guy in the country or a top two
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: or three guy in the country. I've laid eyes on
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: him for the very first time this year. Gary, And
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: you know you you called me all the time and
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: asked for my scouting thoughts, right, I can do that
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: all the time.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I can tell you this.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: If he goes to Kansas, which I think is the
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: front runner right now, then Bill self will be well
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: prepared because he just dealt with Darren Peterson. This is
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Darren Peterson two point zer, and I'm talking nothing about
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: basketball on the floor in pain. Tended to the trainer
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: at least four times in the game. At one point
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: did a lebron We weren't sure if his backspaths or
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: a shoulder. Still scored twenty four points, Still the best
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: player in the tournament, but there is I don't know
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: if he ever had crap scary, but I will see
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Bill Bill self will be well prepared after the Darren
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Peterson experience if he gets Stokes next year.
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: So I'll say this this way, and you can draw
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: whatever conclusion from it you want. The talent is undeniable.
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: You see that he is probably the most talented high
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: school player in his class. I can tell you there
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: are programs that regularly recruit prospects like that, the number
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: one player in a class A five star, this a
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: future projected that that just stayed completely away from this one.
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: And if he ends up at Kansas, it will not
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: be because he picked Kansas over every other great school
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: that you that you know would have recruited Cooper Flag
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: or Cameron Boozer or you know the aj DEBONSA like
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: aj De Bons. He could go to school wherever he wanted,
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: Darren Peterson could go to school wherever he wanted, Camarra
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: Boozer could go to school wherever he wanted. Despite his
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: undeniable talent. Tyron Stokes could not go to school anywhere
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: he wanted. There's some real red flags there. I My
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: understanding is that, you know, maybe he hasn't had the
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: easiest life in the world, and I'm always at least
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: try to be aware of that. Yeah, but like there's
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: some stuff there that makes it where there are college
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: coaches who would in a different situation killed I have
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: a talent like that, but they just decided for a
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: variety of reasons we might if Bill Selton wants to
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: do this, let's let Bill self do this.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I think that's well. Put the talents there.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Although you know what, we've been lucky here. That's why
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: I like going on that tournament. We've been lucky here.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, or not that far removed from watching an
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: NBA Rookie of the Year and Paul Olban Carroll played
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: and in fact play a championship game against tari you know,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: like like you know, we've watched what this is a great,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: great hotbed for basketball in this state. So I've seen
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: we've seen a lot of good players come through. I'd say,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: you know, it must just be kind of a down year.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: And this again, I don't want to just crush the
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: young man, but we've seen better players come through our
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: state alone. And so it's just it's an interesting dynamic
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: that we're living and I think just kind of that
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: it might be one of those years. We'll see what
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: happens underclassmen our state are really really good. Someone will
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: get a good player, hopefully they can get him to
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: go in the right direction. Jamal Crawford's trying as an
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: assistant coach for that team, Jamal's son. By the way,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: he's a freshman. That's a different story. You'll we'll be
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: talking about him in about three years. He is he
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: is really special.
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: Well, that's a real thing that I can just tell you.
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: NBA franchise franchisees value is the children of former professional athletes.
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: And I don't even mean NBA franchises want children of
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: former basketball players and the MLB franchises want children of
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: former baseball players. They just like there is some data
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: trends that franchises have picked up on that suggests children
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: of professional athletes, whether it was their mom or dad
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: or both, that they bring something to the table that
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: is otherwise maybe not there in terms of knowing what
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: it looks like to be excellent. They probably grew up
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: around it every day. If your father or mother was
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: a professional athlete, you saw it close, how they had
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: to treat their bodies, how they had to get up early,
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: stay up, all these things. And so you know, just
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: in Memphis, we had drafted Jaron Jackson junior before you know,
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: trading him earlier this season to Utah. And I can
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: tell you that one of the things in the prose
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: category of this prospect is Steph Curry's dad was a
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: professional athlete. We're probably getting somebody rock solid here. Jared
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: Jackson Junior's dad was a professional athlete. We're probably getting
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: somebody well rounded here, all of the tough matters. And
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: it is not surprising to me at all. Like I
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: look around basketball right now and it's like everybody's kid
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: is now playing somewhere. It's a reminder that we're not
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: getting any younger.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Oh well, thanks for that on this Friday. But you're right,
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: and you're so right along the way, Gary Parris joining us.
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: Gary.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: If Mike Counterar is correct, here are we nine days
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: away from a selection Sunday.
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're gonna have a bracket a week from this Sunday.
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: And what's wild is we kind of already know what
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: is gonna look like at the time. Like Duke is
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: gonna be a one seed, Michigan's gonna be a one seed,
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: Arizona's gonna be a one seed no matter what happened
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: to any of them or anybody else between now in
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: selection Sunday. So the rest of the country is just
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: playing for one spot right now. I would say Yukon
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: and Florida are the leading candidates to get it, but
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: Houston's still in play. Michigan State is still theoretically in play.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: So I say this every year it has flown by.
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: The season gets overwhelming because there's just so much going on,
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: but it flies by, and it is It is wild
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: to me that we're you know, we're in the final
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: month of the season. I know we end in April,
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: but for all in tins and purposes, we got about
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: a about a month left.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: We talked about some of those big contenders last week.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Let me go back to Florida for seconds. I don't
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: think we spent a lot of time on them, and
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm curious about them because of Chittilou
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: is a guy that was on the tournament team with
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Kyle Smith a couple of years ago Wazoo, and his
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: story's good. I mean, the kid wants to go to
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: medical school. Watching him grow as a basketball player, Gary,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: I like that. Some of the other guys that have
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: left Waizoo have not had success, especially the two kids
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: at Maryland this year for example, I haven't had I
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: mean the team certainly hasn't had success, but this young
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: guy has really grown and developed and he's closer to
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: home and all those things. So I'm he's one of
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: those guys I can actually root for a little bit
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: that even though he left my school. That front line
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: is crazy. What is the achilles heel of Florida? They
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: have six losses on the season. I think many of
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: them came early. What's the Achilles heal of that team?
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: I don't know that they have a real obvious one
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: right now. I mean they're ranked top ten, and offensive
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: Effishency top ten, and defensive a fishing and see they
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: don't shoot it well from three, so that's probably it.
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: But you mentioned they have six losses. They had four
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: on December ninth. Almost all the bad stuff was done early.
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: They started five and four on the season, fell out
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: of the top thirty of the net, and it simply
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: looked like they had gone in the transfer portal to
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: try to restruck stock their back court. Because they brought
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: back the front court Ruben Chinelou, Alex Condon, Thomas Holt,
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: they were all back, arguably the best front court in America,
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: but they needed to replace the guards. They went out
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: and got Boogie Flann from Arkansas, who was looking for
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: a new school because he knew Darius A. Cuff junior
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: was on the way, and buddy, you better not stick
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: around for that because you ain't never touching the ball again.
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: So he got out of there, and then they went
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: and got Dad from Princeton. And the truth is neither
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: one of them more playing well. At the beginning of
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: the season. Frankly, Zavi and Lee looked like he was
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: a mid major player who got miscast as a high
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: major player, but that was early indications and they certainly
• 50:59
  Speaker 7: settled into I don't think there's any doubt they have
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: an opportunity, a realistic one, to repeat as national champions.
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: And it's a testament to sort of where we are
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: in the sport. Make the same team from last year
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: ten years ago and what you watch is Todd Golden
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: come back to try to go back to back, but
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: he's probably got freshman guards or reserve guards serving as starters.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: Because you couldn't go into the transfer portal and get
• 51:22
  Speaker 7: experienced guys ten years ago the way you can now.
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: Because you have nil revenue share and a transfer portal
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: that allows players to play immediately after moving, they were
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: able to add experience to their roster. They didn't have
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: to start over. They just had to replace one old
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: guy with another old guy. Now they've figured out how
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: to play. This has been one of the best teams
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: in the country for a while, and I know if
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: you look at most brackets they have Yukon as the
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: fourth to number one. See and I'm not even arguing
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: with that. It's fine, totally reasonable. But the point I've
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: made over and over again on The Island College Basketball
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: podcast is that if Florida wins out, the SEC is
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: the top rated league in the net. The net is
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: the algorithm the NCAA selection committee cares about. They would
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: be the outright champ for the spurt from the sports
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: toughest league and the tournament champ, and they would have
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: probably like five or maybe even six or seven more
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: Quadrant one wins than Yukon. I don't see how the
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: committee would overlook that in favor of an inferior A
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: champion from an inferior conference with otherwise similar metrics except
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: for a lack of Quadrant one wins. I know Yukon
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: beat Florida, but the separation in resumes is going to
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: be so dramatic in my eyes if we get there
• 52:32
  Speaker 7: that that head to head shouldn't be the determining factor.
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: But every time I say this, Yukon fans call me
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: an idiot. So I'll just I'll just stop right there.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: They're not listening right now.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: The only the only Huskies that are the only Husky
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: fans that are listening right now, Gary out here and
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Seel Gary Perry CHEVIAV Sports. They're more worried about if
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Danny Sprinkle can turn things around next year with his
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: team at Washington. I want to I want to stay
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: in our state for a second, and we should spend
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: John and Cindy are the sponsors of this, and they
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: love themselves some guys. Zaga Bulldog basketball. I was knocked.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't have been surprised, just knowing the team a
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: little bit and seeing you know the roster and the stats.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: The WCC All League All Conference teams came out the
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: other day. Gonzaga had one player on the first team,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: and they that player was a player of the year
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: in Graham at Big Ol' graham Ek. But outside of that,
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: this is a strange team. They've in terms of double
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: digit scorers, they've got two if you don't include Bradon Huff,
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: who's been hurt most of the season. They're they're kind
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: of a balanced team. What's your read on Gonzag. I
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: think you have them number nine in your top twenty
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: five and one.
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, they usually establish where they're gonna be
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: in any sort of human ranking in the non league
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: portrait of their schedule. They either take some bumps and
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: then they get knocked down to the twenties, and then
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: they got to go on these long winning streets in
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: the WCC to creep back up. But then there's a
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: ceiling where most people just stop with them because they
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: can't add Quadrant one wins consistently the way Power Conference
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: schools can. That will prove in the new PAC twelve,
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: but it's still their reality in the season. Other years
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: they just knock it out of the park.
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: They got like a zero or a one on the
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: lost column in January. Now they're living in the top ten,
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: inching up after every win in the WCC. This one,
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: I feel like there's a little bit of an uncertainty
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: with them because obviously Braiden Huff was an All American
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: candidate while healthy, and we assumed when he went down
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: that he would be back. But I can tell you.
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: When I spent time in Spokane, there wasn't anything I
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: heard that was positive. It wasn't like, oh my god,
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: he'll never play again, but it was like, the original
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: timeline was four to eight weeks, and it's going to
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: be closer to eight than four. And now obviously it
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: looks like it's going to exceed all of that. The
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: hope is that we do see him in a Zag's
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: uniform again soon, But the hope was that he would
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: already be there and they would be using this time,
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: you know, the WCC tournament and really the final week
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: of the WCC regular season in theory getting re acclimated
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: comfortable with each other again. Now it appears like, at
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: best you're gonna have him back in your first single
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: elimination tournament, and possibly it won't be till your second
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: single elimination tournament. And I just don't like trying to
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: reacclimate players to rotations when you don't have any wiggle
• 55:18
  Speaker 7: room the next time they lose in the WCC tournament.
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: If they lose, that's over. And then you go to
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: the NCBLA tournament and obviously there you mess up and
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: it doesn't matter what your plans were that thing's over too.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Gary Perry, CBS Sports on in College Basketball, Inside College Basketball,
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: the Top twenty five and one. I want to get
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on Miami of Ohio and for people that
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: don't know, if you're just catching up to us, they
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: are the alone on beating team in the country thirty
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: and oh. They just beat Toledo by two. They play
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Ohio next coming up now. Bruce Pearl took a lot
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: of heats, the longtime coach Tennessee Auburn. He kind of
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: torpedoed these guys and just laid into them, and they're
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: not deserving unless they win their conference title.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: They're probably not deserving anyway. People.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: You know, some people agreed with them and said, yes, yes,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: here here. Some people raise their hand and said, Bruce Pearl,
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: that's that's just not nice and we don't like you anymore.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Gary Parrish is one of those guys that actually has
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: laid eyes on Miami of Ohio at thirty oero this season.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: If they lose between now and selection Sunday, including in
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: the conference tournament, don't win their conference tournament, you have
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: a nineteen in your top twenty five to one. Are
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: they still a deserving team to be in the NCAA Tournament.
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: Yes, I believe they're in now period, no matter what
• 56:34
  Speaker 7: happens tonight and no matter what happens in the MAC Tournament.
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: But other people do disagree with that, and I'm not
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: gonna sit here and insist that I'm one hundred percent right.
• 56:44
  Speaker 7: I do believe there's no scenario where they get left
• 56:47
  Speaker 7: out with just one loss. So if they do win
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: tonight at Ohio, the absolute worst case scenario for them
• 56:53
  Speaker 7: would be a one loss in the MAC Tournament. You're
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: one loss on selection Sunday. No team has ever been
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: left out of the bracket with one loss. No team
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: has ever been left out of the bracket after an
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: undefeated regular season. This committee, you can find numbers to
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: justify it, and I think that's what Bruce Pearl was doing.
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: He was giving you raw kin palm numbers and net
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: numbers to explain to you if this school doesn't have
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: the automatic bid based on any sort of normal way
• 57:19
  Speaker 7: we evaluate teams and all of the metrics in Quad
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: one and Quad two, Miami, Ohio is not an at large.
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: He is right if you keep the argument that narrow,
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: But the selection committee is not a computer it's a
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: group of humans, and they understand how terrible the optics
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: would be leaving the best story in the sport out
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: of the bracket because it's stumbled once or even twice,
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: you know, in the days leading up to selection Sunday,
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: and to lead them out at the to lead them
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: out so that you could instead include like a theoretical
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: fifteen or sixteen loss Auburn, or a fourteen or fifteen
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: loss Indiana. That just flies in the face of everything
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: that makes this event special. And the people who care
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: about it most deeply understand that Auburn fans right now
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: are spending their days looking for their next coach. They're
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: doing Google searchers for who can replace Steven Pearl. Indiana fans,
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: just like always, they hate their basketball team again, and
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: I understand why. It costs a lot of money and
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: they're not very good. Why do we need them in
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: the NCAA tournament that's supposed to be a place where
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: we celebrate, celebrate accomplishments. We have the greatest story in
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: college basketball on one hand, and two power conference programs
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: whose fans hate their coaches and teams. Right now, let's
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: reward the team that actually wins without exception to this moment,
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: the team that is in love with the season that
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: it's in experiencing and the fan base that is riding
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: the long, best time of their lives. Put that in
• 58:48
  Speaker 7: the bracket. Let's have fun with that. To leave it
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: out would just be an obvious mistake. I know you
• 58:54
  Speaker 7: can put Auburn and Miami Ohio on a neutral court tonight,
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: and oddsmakers would make Auburn. There's no counter argument that
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: I haven't heard or considered, but I'm going to keep
• 59:04
  Speaker 7: this simple. One of these teams. If we're turning this
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: into a Miami Auburn argument, one of these teams has
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: literally never lost and the other team loses basically every
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: other game at place. I know which one I want
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: to see play Gay.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's just, first of all, you made way
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: too much sense for today's world in sports. That just
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're what you're trying to accomplish here,
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: but that made a lot of sense. But you're right,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: I'll use this comp Maybe this is wrong, but to me,
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: part of it would be watching James Madison make it
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: to the NCAA to the.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: College Football Playoff last year.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Because you know, I mean their metrics told you know,
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: like like they're from a really bad conference. That's not
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: a power for like if you start ranking the group
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: of five or a group of six conferences, they're not.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: That's that's maybe the lowest one or the second lowest
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: one out there. But they didn't lose. They played, they
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: won games, and their fan base was great. And yeah
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: they got beat by Oregon handily, but they also did
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: better against Oregon than the team did the next week, right,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. To me, at some point, it's
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: still about giving those teams an opportunity to play and
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: if you win, great, if you lose, great, But it's
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: more important to give them a chance. And say a
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame team that you know just always gets there
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: and really doesn't appreciate it and frankly probably didn't deserve it.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a comp not, but it
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: kind of feels that way to.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 7: Me and I co sign every bit of it. And
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 7: it's also worth rewarding them when they tried. I know,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: their strength of kit schedule is all. There's no way
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 7: around that they played three ninety ones. Technically they only
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: have twenty seven division I victories. I understand all of that.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: But there was a story yesterday and detailing because somebody
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 7: filed a Freedom of Information Act for every Miami Ohio
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: email came out of that basketball office sent to another
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: school looking for a game, and it was like seventy
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: five different either high major or Top one fifty schools
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: in the net that they reached out to, basically half
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: of the top one fifty, and they would say, hey,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: if you're looking for a game, we'd be willing to
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 7: be bought. And that's the way the system works. Like
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: these Power conference they'll buy a team. That means like,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: we'll give you one hundred and forty thousand dollars to
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 7: just come play us, and we'll make that part of
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 7: our season ticket package. Miami Ohio offered that to countless people,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: and they were rejected because there's analytics people on every
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: high major staff now who could look at that and
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: see there were some indicators that suggested, ooh, this Miami
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 7: Ohio team might be good. The last thing you want
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 7: to do as a high major coat is pay somebody
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty grand to come play you in
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 7: your arena and then beat you. That's bad for you,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 7: and my buddy John Rostein calls it the epitome of brutality.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 7: You don't want to lose those types of games, and
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: Miami Ohio was the type of team that could beat
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: you in one of those, so nobody would play them.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: That's why they got this schedule, not because they were
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 7: trying to manipulate the system, trying to just play a
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 7: bunch of easy games and see how long we can
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: stay undefeated. They tried to schedule more aggressively. They couldn't
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 7: get the game. They played the schedule in front of him.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 7: They've won every single time, and real quick. I think
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 7: this is another point that's important to make that sometimes
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 7: people miss I know, Miami Ohio is supposed to win
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 7: most of these games, but it should be noted they
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: won four times this year as an underdog. But it
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: is important to understand just because you are supposed to
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 7: win every game you play, it doesn't actually mean you're
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: supposed to win every game you play.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Sports.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 7: The nature of it, you're gonna slip up somewhere. Think
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 7: of it this way. Steph Curry, every time you see
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: him at the free throw line, you are shocked if
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 7: he doesn't make it he's the greatest shooter of all time.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 7: Look at his numbers. Though he misses one out of
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 7: every ten, he just misses one out of every ten.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: A basketball team should probably just lose one out of
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 7: every ten games somewhere because you just slip up. They haven't.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 7: That should be rewarded.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Well, said sir tell folks about the college basketball podcast.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic, But where can we find it?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: What he got coming up of this. It's a Friday,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: so you've got a big show today.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: Big show this morning, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, it's every where.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: We'll be back Sunday night after the Michigan Michigan State game.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: And then oh it gets going once the Instablay Tournament starts.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: It is in the middle of the night when the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: games are over. We I mean, we'll start that thing
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: at midnight one sometimes two thirty in the morning after
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: I go after I get out of studio. So just know,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: if you are watching the Instablay Tournament, once that thing
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: gets unfolded, you can stay up late or get up early.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: But if you get up early, when you wake up,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: that fresh episode from the night before it'll be sitting
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: waiting right for you.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: You guys do a great job.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: When we speak next Friday, it'll be as Pete Carroll
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: would say, the day before the day before the bracket reveal.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: So we'll talk next Friday, and then Jess, we'll get
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: with you and figure out we'll do the next week.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Since the Friday, we're carrying games on the Friday, the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: first week of the tournam this, we'll figure out something
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: for the following week.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: My friends, thank you so much. Great job.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: I'm a college basketball podcast Inside College Basketball and cbsports

  Speaker 2: Net Top twenty five and one at cbsports dot com.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: It's scary pairish. Thank you sir.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the best.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Take care, Gary Paris, will take a break, Come back
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: thirty two Bar and grill next.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast Studio. Now
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: back to Ian Fornesz powered by Seattle Closest sports book
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: Snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: three point three kJ R FM.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: Right we're back. Oh, by the way, I got to
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: read these.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: I think this is the same guy at texted yesterday.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: He's all mad at me about my takes on Stokes.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Good player. I just think that this state has seen
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of better players, and I'm just not a fan.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: He came in here, got kicked out of prep school.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: He came in here, and yeah, I'll read the text. Dude, Ian,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: you're so off on Stokes. Tell me you went today
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: without actually telling me. Embarrassing from someone like you with
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: such a great reputation.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: That's a take I inspect from someone else. So the
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: other guy to the bus. But I listen, we've seen
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: great players in this state, great players in this state.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: I think if I was going to do like a
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: list of the top players that come out of this
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: d R a ranking, and even just like in terms
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: of guys, just in terms of dudes that that that
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I don't even have to go with like stat just
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: like they can play one year. He's not probably even
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: in the top he's definitely not in the top.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: Five, probably not top ten.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah I don't.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to know because like he's still
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: what seventeen eighteen years old right now.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying at this point, yeah, yeah, at this point, yeah,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think at this point, I just don't
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: like the whole thing. I don't like, you know, you
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: get kicked out of prep school, roll into Brainier Beach,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: your higher gun. I just don't like it, Like I
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: just I you know, Michael Porter sort of did that,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: but his dad was coaching at udub yep, right with
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Nathan Hale. Now, the thing with with Michael Porter junior
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: when he did that and he played and Brenton Roy
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: put together that all star team, which I didn't necessarily
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: like either. Outside of the Porter brothers, everybody was from
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: the state right now. Obviously that's the case with Nathan
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: with raynerd Beach, guys are all from here except for
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: a except for Stokes. I don't care who wins the
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: state title. I really don't. I mean, yeah, I'm an
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: ode a lump. I don't care. I'm just saying I
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: just I don't like the guys act and I don't think.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: Gary Parrish kind of confirmed that with you.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how really really confirmed him.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah about that's how kind of college coaches are viewing
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: him as well.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: It's pretty interesting.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Now college coach can say all they want. Those guys
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: still get paid to win games. Yeah, and if they
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: get a chance to get him, they probably will.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just how it were.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Michael Dickerson on that list, really high, So we just
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: texted him Michael is really high on that list.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: Along the way, all right, what else we got?
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 11: Uh, let's see one from the four two five. I'd
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 11: be more worried if they overpaid someone. If the Hawks,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 11: this is going to the Seahawks conversation we have with
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 11: Danny earlier. If the Hawks were needing a running back,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 11: would it makes sense to sign the highest paid guy
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 11: available because he's coming off a Super Bowl, or maybe
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 11: find better value to sign their top players? They need
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 11: some guys on murky deals and hungry, young, cheap guys
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 11: like Okata, Drake, Thomas, et cetera.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what Danny rows and nailed is also
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: bang on. Let's wait, let's see what happens. And also
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: the guy that's in charged Schninderi's.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: Pretty good, he's kind of good.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I love how Dane been perfect but he's yeah,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: he's right. And I love how Danny laid it out
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: and the way that the Seahawks kind of separate the
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: guys that you need, you know, you need to bring back,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: versus the guys that you know it's nice to have
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: but you don't want to overpay for them.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: Well, it's guys, It's like it's like getting a Gucci bag.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 11: I you know, consider some of them where the name
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 11: value is as high as.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: It'll ever be. Right on the street in New York,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: Canal Street, let's go. I know exactly where it is.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 11: But yes, no, I think he had a really good
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 11: point because we first hand saw it. After the twenty
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 11: thirteen to fourteen season. The guys that left, honestly most
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: of them and I very truly cherished them here with
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 11: the Seahawks didn't outperform their contracts elsewhere.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, absolutely. By the way, it was a
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Louis Vuitton that we bought there for my percent. My
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: photographer Erica as a nice Louis that lasted, she said,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: literally eleven months and on.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: First day of the but for the price point, she
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: rocked it for a.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: Year twenty bucks stock because she didn't have enough cash.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: Anyway, that's why you go to Canal Street.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: Ian.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Why were the cracking okay with losing ty kr Cha
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: seemed to be on the rise perform well for us
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: last year. I don't think they, I don't want to
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: say if they were okay with it. I don't think
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: they wanted to lose them. They just that's for him. Honestly,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: he had to go through waivers in the place, and
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: I mean they would look at it as Ryan Winterton
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: is a better version of ty Car Chia, Jacob mallonson
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: is a better version of ty car Ja and the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: guy they picked up today, Bobby McMahon is a way
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: better version of that type of player as well. There
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: are a lot of people here for cracking are such
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: an unserious franchise two oh six cracking trade deadline is
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: lame blank, lame af Yeah, what I mean middle six
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: four doesn't move the needle.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: Some improvement not enough.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: There's a lot more people asking about, you know, Bots
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: and Francis. I kind of told you guys yesterday, this
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: is not a Francis thing. It's all Jason botroll. So
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: that's in Alex mand Ricky. Francis is not really involved
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: in the day to day this type of stuff, trades
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: and all that. So I think they tried, and then
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: they're going to say that, and we even kind of
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: said that Anders Knight joking with Chris and Benton going in.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: They're gonna say they tried, and frankly, I know they
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: did try. I know they did, and they got they listen,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: they got a little bit better today. How much they
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: got a little bit better today? They improved their hockey
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: team a little bit today.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: I just want to know what the end goal is.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: If the goal is to make the playoffs, fine.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: But you're not going to be cut.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: You're not going to go from being a team that
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: was projected to miss the playoffs by a significant amount
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: at the start of the season to a team that
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: is now in the playoffs as it stands right now,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: to a team that's considered one of the top two
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: or three teams roster wise in the league in the
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: course of a seven months season. So this, I'll be
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: honest with you. I'll go back. I was more disappointed
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: in the offseason last year than I am in the
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: trade deadline this year. Okay, if you're looking, if you
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: want me to be non company guy for a second,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I was a little more disappointed last year that they
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: didn't get a little bit more accomplished last off season
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: than I am right now with the trade deadline. You
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: can't rework an entire roster with twenty nineteen games left
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: to go. The fact that they are where they are,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: that's a tribute to Lane Lambert and his staff. Right,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: that's a tribute to the improved that end.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: That goes back to the management. They made a decision
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: to eat to eat it on a coach for the
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: second time in as many years. Took a lot of
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: heat for that. That takes some stones. They said, screw it,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do it. Biles was not working. They went
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: out and they picked up Lane Lambert. He's done a
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: hell of a job, as has Chris Taylor, especially on
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: the power play. They did a good job. They've done
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: a great job. The goaltending bounce back. Colin Zulianello, who
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: is a goaltending coach, underrated dude in this market because
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: I give him credit, because let's just look down there,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: what Andrews, you know this better than anybody, yep, Philip Grubauer, Like,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: if you want to look at the reasons.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: They're better, the difference in the last season to this season,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna look at players, Yeah, what.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Did I What was the number I gave you, guys?
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: I think he earned twelve points in his starts last
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: year out of fifty six.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: Possible, and he's already surpassed that he's yeah.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: I got fourteen wins or something like that. So yeah,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: I like they've gotten better and the roster hasn't changed dramatically.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: They need to do more in this offseason. This is
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: a massive offseason for him.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 4: Well I'll send that the last two years though.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: I agree, And I just told you I was just
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: pointed last year. Yeah right, I'm totally disappointed. I think
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: this is a This is a bigger one though, because
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: they got a bunch of UFAs. Yeah, Like, you're not
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: gonna see James Schwartz next year. You're not gonna see
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Jamie Alexiak next year.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: Just those two. I mean, obviously Ebbs is back.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Now you got to make a decision on Tolvinen, like
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have you already have money to spend. You're
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: gonna have a lot more money to spend, even more
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: so next year. So listen, if they make the playoffs
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: this year, that's a bonus. That's and that's also big
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: because here's why you want to get in. I think
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: it's why you wanted to get in with the Mariners
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: three years ago. You need, like Julio needs high leverage
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: at bats, cal Rowley needed high leverage at like those
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: guys needed they probably needed three years ago to get
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: to the ALCS this past year. I think you can
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: make that argument. I think hockey baseball will be similar
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: in that regard. I think Berkeley, Catton, Maddy Banier, other guy,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: the reps they need to be in those types of games,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: and frankly, they're going to be in those types of
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: games in the final three four weeks of the season
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: as it is. Getting the playoffs will be a nice
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: bonus and needed for this fan base a lot as well.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: I would I would leave it at that. We can
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: whoa all and I'll jump I'll jump on your captain
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: negative vandwagon the second week in July. All right, I'll
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: be with you. Then if it doesn't work out, by them.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: Like I want to give them a little bit of credit.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: It's the move that I was hoping happened. It didn't
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: happen anywhere else in the trade deadline. There's there wasn't
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: a move that I was like, I wish they had
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: done that instead that happened.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Which tells you the problem this year. Yes, everybody with
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: like five except like there's like four teams in each
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: of the two divisions, like there's twelve out of sixteen
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: teams in each in each conference that are in the
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: playoff race, and there's only eight spots. There's all these
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: This middle class is so bunched up. Nobody wanted to sell.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: And we talked about it, Andrews. Wasn't this the baseball
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: team last year?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Everyone's within the two or three games are not selling. Yeah,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: that's hard to do. So all right, Softy Joints is
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: coming up next.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: Already. Then Dave Softy Maller joins up.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, baby, how are you?
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you good?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 12: You ask Eberlyeve for a little loan up bare a
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 12: little scratch man from the new uh minted cracking.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Eleve and a half eleven million over the next two years.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 9: That's good for him, man, good for him. That's not
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 9: that's not that's not jump change in the hockey world. Right.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's decent money.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean there's guys, we're we're well into
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: the eight figure world now and the Caps going up.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: But you know what, I.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Totally Andrews is honestly probably a team friendly deal, to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: be honest with you. He wanted to stay here. They
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: got it done.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: You're good, Andrews, Who was the what was the is?
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: What is that we asked earlier? You know what's funny
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 12: By the way, before you answer, Andrews, I actually had
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 12: an idea for a segment.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: And we would just call it what he is and
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 9: then just whatever you want there.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yes, what is a successful season for the What
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 12: is going to be the biggest problem with the Mariners
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 12: this year?
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: How about this? How about this?
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: Let me throw this act, Let me throw this because
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: we next time we talk free agency will be done with.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 9: Finish because we will know everything exactly.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: What is a successful free agency for this?
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 12: Oh god, shut up, Let's talk about your top seventeen
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 12: targets and free agency for the Seahorks.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 9: Wow, are you.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: Gonna freak out? Are you gonna freak out with guys
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: or something else where?
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 9: I'm at no, not at all, because I expected. I expected.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 12: I mean I was talking to my buddies Sorren Petro
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 12: in Kansas City, Kansas City on his show today.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 9: Oh god, are you kidding me?
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 12: It's more like the nineteen minute drill with a fifteen
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 12: minute old time is what it is.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 9: Oh, He's like, Hey, I need.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 12: You on at two o'clock, which means he'll call me
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 12: at two o'clock and have me on hold for seven
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 12: minutes before I go on the air, and then I'm
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 12: on for five or six minutes more. Two minutes turns
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 12: into half an hour. It's unbelievable.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: I got a new phone last week and I was
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: going through it and I stumbled across his producer's phone number.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: The last time I think I did stuff with them
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: was before. I can't because now you do it up
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: here for Seattle, which is good. Right when I was
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: in Portland, I always did the Portland stuff right in
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: the Oregon whatever was going on down there. And I
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: deleted that guy's number, And I'm like, I haven't heard
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: from him for a.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 9: While, but why would you delete his number?
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: Do you not like that? Just because?
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 11: No?
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: I just was trying to.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 12: Got a problem with guy's name Siren the last time. No,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 12: it wasn't Surren, it was his producer, producer. You'll be interesting.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I came up here and then I thought, the one
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: thing I remembered is every time I did that, that's
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: exactly what happened. Hey, we'll call you to eleven right,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: you're actually gonna go on at eleven fifty five.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 9: That's right, you be on the air for an hour.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 12: We're gonna call you eleven, but make sure you have
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 12: a book handy so you can have something to do
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 12: before the interview starts. But yeah, well, as you were
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 12: talk about Kenny Walker and how I mean, I just
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 12: think if you're Kenny Walker, and I have no idea
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 12: what kind of offer the Hawks have made if they
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 12: have made it off, right, I assume they've made some
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 12: kind of an off sure, unless they totally blow you
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 12: out of the water. If you're Kenny Walker and his
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 12: free agent or his agent, you're telling yourself, man, I
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 12: gotta go to free agency.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 9: I gotta just dip my toe. I gotta see what's
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 9: out there.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 12: This is the only contract I'm ever gonna sign worth
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 12: a damn in the NFL. I'm twenty six, I just
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 12: had the greatest six game run of my life. I
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 12: won the Super Bowl MVP. I kind of owe it
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 12: to myself to just see what's out there. And if
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 12: the Hawks are gonna say, hey, we have a offer
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 12: on the table, they may pull it obviously at some point.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 12: But don't you think if you're Kenneth Walker, you gotta
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 12: kind of just wait till Monday and see what's out there.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 12: I think if given what you just did, yes, or
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 12: even if we're a rashid shi heat.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Right, all those guys, I gotta say yes, I put
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: if you put yourself in their shoes, which would be
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: hard for any of us to do, right. But how
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: often are you able to completely dictate what you're paid?
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Never and where you go?
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 9: Never? Never?
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: It's right.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 9: I don't blame the guy for waiting at all.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 12: You know again, unless the Hawks said, hey, we'll pay you,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 12: give you a four year deal for eighty million?
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 9: Done, where do I sign?
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 12: So outside of something like that, I don't blame the
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 12: guy at all. But we got we got two guys
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 12: that cover the NFL. HU Malin's going to join us
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 12: at five. We'll got huge thoughts on all this. Greg
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 12: Gagabel is down there in the in the tee Dome.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 9: We've got his thoughts on all that as well.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 12: Fun with Audio three forty five and we're gonna talk
• 1:17:54
