6-23 H2: Ann Killion Joins, Reading Your Texts & Cross Talk · The Gregg Bell Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And she said, no, it's about the people. It's about
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: people who play, coach and are in sports. And that
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: really stuck with me and I've tried to model my
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: entire journalism career around that, that it's really about the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: people and that everyone has a story. So thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: inspiring me and Killian and being a mentor of mine.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, Greg, we've known each other a really long time.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what that means too. That's true. I saw
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Anne Killyan in the press box and then the mix
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: zone at the US Australia game at Lumenfield where before
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the match on Friday, and you posted on Twitter x
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that Seattle has the best football stadium slash soccer stadium
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in the country the venue, the atmosphere and everything, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Friday didn't disappoint that.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Why do you think that, Well, your stadium has always
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: been my favorite stadium in the country, and usually I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: there for a Seahawks forty nine er game. But I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: just think it is the perfect meld of city and stadium.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: It just if you feel like you're in Seattle, you're
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: right downtown, You've got great access on public transit and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the you know, ferries and walking. If you're staying downtown,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and you know, the vibe is just always great, Like
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: game day vibe in Seattle is you know, unparalleled. Everyone's out,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: everyone's got a jersey on, everyone's drinking coffee or beer
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: or whatever their drink of choices, and it's just it's
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it's like an energy vibe. And now, you know, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I haven't I think I've seen one Talker game there before,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: but so my soccer history with Seattle is not long.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: But that was just a fantastic vibe. I'd been at
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: so far with the US team the week before, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that was you know, it was good. It was full,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and you know, it was a lively, lively crowd. But
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's indoor. It's you know, a little fancier, a little sterile.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: But I just I just.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Think I love that. You know, it looks like the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: US should be back there for a Round of sixteen game.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I mean not to not to jump too far ahead,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: but you know, they won their group. They're going to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: play a third place team here in the Bay Area,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and then their next game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Would be July sixth, sixth in in Seattle.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And I just think it's going to be another showcase
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: for just a fabulous stadium, And you know, I mean,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: being from San Francisco, I often think, not often, every
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: time I'm there, I think, geez, the forty nine ers
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: could have done something like this in San Francisco, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: instead they chose to go fifty miles south to Santa
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Clara and to a place that has no atmosphere and
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: no game day vibe and no you know, no beautiful
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: views and no feel of the city that they wear.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: On their uniforms.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So I just think, I think I'm a big fan.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan. And I didn't know until I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: tweeted that that some Seattle people were like, yeah, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the idiots here talking about replacing it?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: That was one sets rucker sham throw out of a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: new owner of the Seahawks maybe looking at potentially replacing
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the stadiums Okay, actually there's been no other.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was one one off.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And where would you would And.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Now that now that they put natural grass in for
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the World Cup, please keep it? Yes, how can Seattle
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not have natural grass and of the perfect irrigation systems?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You are right about that. And there are a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of people, including those I cover on the Seahawks, who
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely agree with you.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think the NFL if they go back and they
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and they replace tear out all these beautiful turf stadiums
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and put it back in plastic turf, it's just it's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: going to be it's going to be a crime. Because
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: every play the Players Association just has to be stronger
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: about it. Every player wants to play on grass. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you know, here are the soccer players, the other football players,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: they will not play not on grass. They refuse to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: play on our official surface. So because they you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: they know that it will take years off of their career,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and the NFL just they need to really demand this.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: It's not like they don't have enough money.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Great exactly and they absolutely could afford it, but they
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: want to keep all the money for themselves.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: That's how they became billionaires. But J. C.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Tratdter has talked about this issue, the president of the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: new President of Players Association. But and would you think
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they need to go to collective bargaining and then hold
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: out and say, hey, you won an eighteenth game and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: all these other bells and whistles you want in a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: new CBA put grass in on every field. Why wouldn't
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they just make that a CBA issue, like a draw
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: line and sand on it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's come up, but it's just never
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: been a draw Yeah, it's never been a draw line
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in the sand. And I would think, you know, if
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: they really and we know that they are going to
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: try to go to eighteen games, at some point there
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: has to be concessions made to players health and longevity,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and I would think this would be a very big one.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, the one thing I can say about Levi's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and I can't say a lot nice about it, but
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it has it finally. It took a couple of years,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: but it finally has a beautiful grass field and players
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: who come to play on it, and probably the Seahawks
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: said after the Super Bowl, it's nice, they feel better,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it's more forgiving, it's a better surface to play on.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And we've seen the gruesome injuries that can occur on turf.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, injuries will occur anywhere it's football,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: but it seems just that there are way more acls
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and achilles and all sorts of things happening on really
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: bad sake grass.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I know multiple Seahawk players who say that turf at
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Lean Vis Stadium is the best in the NFL, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: they say it during a regular SeAsTe before the NFL
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: takes it over.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And Kelly, they spent a lot of money to get it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Right, Sure did, one team did anyway, And Kelly and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the San Francisco Chronicle joining us in the Beacon Plumbing
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Hotline live here on ninety three point three, kJ. Are
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you been with the US National team for a while
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: most of this month and before that previous worke up?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: They're headquarters as Fayetteville, Georgia, just south of Atlanta. As
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you probably know, what would stop them from moving to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Seattle and making this a permanent home for the US
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: national team and the headquarters and the feeder teams and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: taken capitalizing on what everyone said was the greatest soccer
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: environment in the country has ever seen.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: On Friday?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: What would stop them?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: They just built a billion dollar palace in Atlanta. That
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: would stop them? Yeah, I mean, you know, as you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: they've been based in Chicago forever, and you know, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: think a lot of people were kind of surprised that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: they went to Atlanta. Everyone says they're training facilities are
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: just state of the art, and you know, they have
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: all these fields and all this land. It's probably a
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: amount of land issue of what they could get. But yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: given you know, sheet and everything else, it seems a
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: little odd you're going to somewhere that's you know, can
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: be tough to play in at certain times. But yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: so I don't think they're going to uproot again, Greg,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: not in not in my lifetime probably.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Which either And this US team has captured the imagination
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: even casual sports fans. Now how far you think they go?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: What do you like about this team that's different? And
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: how much Hasino the coach just changed it himself.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I think Pochattino has been great and that nobody knew
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: if that was going to be the case. I mean,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: he only had twenty months to put this team together.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: This has been you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Know, an erratic I mean by every other metric. Soccer
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: has exploded in this country since the nineteen ninety four
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: World Cup. You know, the number of people, number of
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: kids playing, the number of people playing, the number you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the we have a professional league, we have you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: so many people just are absorbed on weekends watching your
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you know, Premier league soccer. We're much more knowledgeable, like
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a thousand times more knowledgeable than we were but the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: one metric that hasn't changed is our World Cup progress.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And we've never gotten past the round of sixteen except
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: once in two thousand and two with a really young
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: team and a very a couple of very fortunate bounces
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: in a great opponent in you know, facing a Conker
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: CAF opponent in Mexico in the round of sixteen, which
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: is you know, doesn't usually happen. So that was the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: only time we've gotten pasted. And every other time we've
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you know, either been grouped or we've been bounced in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the round of sixteen. This team, we know, is by
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: far the most experienced and skilled professional group we've ever had.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Most of these guys have been pros since they were teenagers.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: They're playing in Europe, they're playing in the biggest clubs.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: You know, they have all this experience. So the material
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: is there for a good team. But you didn't know
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: with Pochattino. You know, he comes in, they have the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Gold Cup last summer, and and and he's you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: trying out all these guys. He's got guys in and out,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: in and out, in and out, and then a lot
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of guys, including Pulistics, say they don't want to play
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: last summer, and which you know causes all this controversy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: How can you not want to play when this is
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: so critical? You know, they didn't have to go through qualifying.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: They really had no difficult games, like no real test
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in put Chattino's entire tenure, and so I think we
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: didn't know. And I think he's really pushed the right buttons.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: They're playing a European style. They looked their their skills
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: are on exhibit, and so I think he gets a
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: lot of credit. He's I don't know, if you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: he's he's difficult to quote. He's he's a rambler. He's
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: in and out of two languages. So I don't really know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Like I couldn't really tell you what his tactics are
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: or what his approaches. But whatever he's doing, he seems
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to have gotten through to these guys, and they seem
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to be playing as one. There's see. I was down
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: there in Irvine at their camp the week before the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: LA game, and there seems to be a real unity
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: with them. A lot of them, you know, have been
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: playing together since, you know, like U fourteen National or whatever,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: U seventeen National. They've known each other all their lives,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: so there is a chemistry there. Whatever little weirdness happened
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: posts twenty twenty two World Cup seems to have dissipated,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: and I think, yeah, I think I think they're ready
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to kind of, you know, take another step. I mean,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: there's some real talent on the on the team, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, it's it's it's pretty fun to watch. I mean,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: most of America knows one guy, Pulistic, right because every
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: time you turn on the TV, he's on TV, but
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: he's in an ad. But most of I think people,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: except for super hardcore soccer fans, are just kind of
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: getting to know these guys.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: And yeah, it's a fun little ride to be on.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Valguan is incredible on the ball. He's just he took
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: over the game in Australia in the first half and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just ram down the side of the Australian defense.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: And Covert is amazing.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: He is really good.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Who's your favorite one to cover? I mean Tim Reim
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: has thirty eight, been on a few World Cup teams
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of that turn that you've covered many times. I saw
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you in the mix zone talking to him after the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: match on Friday. Who's the most compelling personality or just
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: someone you really like.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Covering on that team.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm just getting to know them. I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: really don't know them. I like I've covered in the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: last ten years, I've covered way more US women's games
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: than the men's games, and feel like I know that
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: team a lot better.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Large You've watched better soccer doing that too, exactly.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I mean when during the Paraguay game uh in La,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I turned to a US soccer official that we both
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: know who is the press officer for the women's team
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and is helping out with the men's and I said,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this is like watching the team that
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you're in charge of. They're playing so they're being so dominant,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: which you know has not happened in many World Cup
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: games for the US men. Yeah. I like Valligan. I
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: like his story, and I like his his attitude and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: he he Yeah, he seems like a super team player.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I like Chris Richards, he's good to talk to. Tyler
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Adams is really good to talk to too. So yeah, Helistic
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: seems that like although he says good you know, he's quotable,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: he says interesting things. He seems like a very reluctant
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: h superstar. He he is the focal point of the
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: team and has been for you know, since he was
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a team nature for a decade. But I don't think
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: he's fully comfortable with that. So I think, you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: some of these other guys are feel a little easier
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: with what they say and how they interact with the media.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I think Pelistic probably because he's had so much of
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: it for so long, is it seems a little weary
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: of being the focal point. But yeah, I mean in
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: terms of who I like to cover, I mean, I'm
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: just learning them pretty much myself right now.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: And I have to.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Ask you what's going on with the Giants and especially
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, we saw what happened. I didn't want to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: come out of Devs, didn't want to come out of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the game the other night. But that was just a
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: minor thing compared to what happened on Friday and Pride Night.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Of all places, San Francisco, you were to calm about
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the situation, giants pictures writing Biblical verses on their hats and.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: All of it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: What's going on there and what's the fallout in of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: all cities to do that in San.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Francisco, Well, it's the fallout is still happening. I mean,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: people were very upset. Pride Night goes back, you know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a version of some sort of Pride Night or or
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Gay Community Night has gone back to nineteen ninety four
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: with the Giants. So they started until There's a Cure
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Night for AIDS awareness and every year they have something
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: some sort of night, and it's usually in June in
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Pride months. And you know, they have a huge segment
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of their very loyal fan base, paying customers identify with
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the gay community, and I would say the probably the
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: majority of their fans in general identify with inclusiveness, right.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And you know, I've gotten all these letters from people
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: who are upset, who you know, aren't part of the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: gay community, but they want their team to be, you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to stand for that and have embraced that part of
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: their team. So yeah, they've got a lot of people
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: really upset. They've been getting tons of letters and feedback
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: and so far the Giant's front office hasn't been responding,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: which is very unlike them because they're usually very good
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: at damage control.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: UH Buster Posey has availability today at.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Two o'clock and that's going to be the first time
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: that anyone from management leadership will. Besides the manager, who's
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: a rookie of course right out of the college game
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: and probably didn't know how to handle it, hasn't really
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: handled it great since Tony Vitello.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: So uh yeah, the fallout.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Still continues, and we're going to see I know that
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: there's a protest planned outside the stadium today because I
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: feel like people don't don't feel like the team is
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: is kind of answering to the people who you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: pay exorbitant prices and buy all the rainbow colored merchandise
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: that they put out, and you know, you have been
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: extremely supportive of this team, and you know, have been
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: feeling you know, they're like, even despite their horrible record
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: this year, they're like sixth.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: In attendance or something.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: So you know, they have a fan base, and they're
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: usually quite good at courting that fan base and answering
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to that fan base and doing damage control of things
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: that are not going well, and something there's some disconnect
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that's happening right now, and I'm not entirely sure why.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Very unusual that Mike Krukat, a long time Giants broadcast
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and former pitcher who employed by the team, was very
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: outspoken and how insensitive the writings on.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: The caps were.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And then there's of course the other side of it
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: that there's pictures have the right to express themselves as well.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Is there any argument to be made.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: For that, Well, they don't.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: You don't have the right to alter your uniform. And
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: it's just basic professional sports if you alter your uniform
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: in any way, for even like to write high mom
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: But it's not okay in professional sports. Right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Do they have the right to have an opinion?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Sure, and I would say most you know, if they
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: had strong objections they I think I think there was
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: a lack of communication, like especially with a new manager
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and with a lot of young players. You know, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: don't know, And this is what I would like to
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: find out. Did anyone sit down anyone from the front
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: office or Buster Posey who played for teams that wore
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the Pride uniform, like I mean, did anyone sit down
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and say, look, this is a really important thing for
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: a community. You guys might have certain feelings about it,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: but you know, this is the situation and these.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Are your options. And it doesn't sound like that happened.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Do they have the right to express their point of view?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Sure they do, But you know, why are you doing it?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: It was basically like turning around. I mean, you know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: everyone who bought a ticket that night knew they were
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: buying a ticket for Pride Night. And everyone most people
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: or lots of people were wearing the rainbow jerseys. They've
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: sold so much of that stuff of you know, rainbow
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: accented gear. People were. They had same sex couples renewing
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: their valves on the field before the game. I mean,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: you know, it was a celebration night, and those guys
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: basically turned around and flipped the bird to the to
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: to their customers, to the people who pay their salaries
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and so. Do they have the right to express their opinions, Sure,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: sure they do, But was that the appropriate place to
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: do it? Probably not. I mean, what if on Jackie
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Robinson Day, some guys says, I don't I don't want
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to wear number forty two because I don't believe that
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: baseball should have been sacre but should have been integrated.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean, how are they going to go
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: with that? What about you know, when they make them
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: wear these faux military camouflage for on ing the veterans.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: You know, what if people like to face those and
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: said you know, screw the US military warmongering nation. Would
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: would the team be, you know, support that? Or what
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: if they have a Jewish heritage.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Night coming up?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: What if someone you know started writing anti Semitic stuff
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: on their uniform.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I mean it's just.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Do you have the right to express yourself?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Sure? Are you?
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Is there going to be a backlash to it if
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: you do it in a very clumsy way that that
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to acknowledge that? And then and then these
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: guys made it worse by spouting things like about choice
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and morality, so you know, just super dogless the words
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: when in terms of homophobia. So it's just it's it's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: not been a it's it's not been a very uh
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: pleasant past week for for the Giants. They went on
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: the road right away and today is the stay there back.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: You'll be talking to Buster Posy this afternoon once again
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and Kellyan proving that it's the people in sports, not
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the sports, that is really what we do. And thank
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you so much. It's long overdue to get you on
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: our show and it's great to talk to You're great
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to see again. And I guess if all goes off
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: for the US, I'll see you on July six back
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: up here in Seattle.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: It sounds like there's a good chance I'll see you
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Thanks great, Thank.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You Anne very much and Kellyan, longtime Bay area sports
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: columnists now the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Jose Mercury News.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Before that, talking about all that's going on in the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Bay Area, including the US and Turkey tomorrow excuse me,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: US and Turkey is in Los Angeles tomorrow. Then the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Round of thirty two match July first in Santa Clara
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that Anne will be covering. If they win that the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: United States will then play in the Round of sixteen
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: match here at Lumenfield on July the sixth, and what
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: would be just an absolutely off the hook sports extravaganza
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: four nine, four or five one of the Comatadge tech line.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Some of you have opinions on what Anne Killian and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I were just speaking about with the giants and their
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: pitchers and their biblicult verses on their hats a pride
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: night in San Francisco last Friday. We'll read back your
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: text on the Tacoma Doadge Tex Line next on ninety
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM, Welcome back to the Greg Best
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Show with Christopher kid Laugh on ninety three point three
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: KJR FM. If you've missed any of our show, including
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: our conversation with a Killing about the World Cup and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Bay Area and then Giants and they go to the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app download nine three three KJR or our website
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: nine three three KJR dot com. You know what time
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it is. The music means it's time for you to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: be a part of the show. On the Tacoma Dodge
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: text line four nine four or five one.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: From the two o six. How many US Soccer sites
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: are there for the World Cup? And why is the
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: US soccer team mainly playing on the West Coast?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's about eight from the top of my
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: head outside Boston, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Santa Clara, Los Angeles,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Seattle a missing one that would be eight. Then there's
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Toronto and Vancouver in Canada and Guadalajara in Mexico City
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: in Mexico. It appears that US Soccer and FIFA conspired
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to put the West the United States on the West
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Coast to start. Their training center is in Irvine, California.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Two matches in Los Angeles, won in Seattle, and then
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the around a thirty two match in Santa Clara. They're
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: around of sixteen Seattle quarterfinal would be in Los Angeles,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: then the semifinals and finals.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Would be back east.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I think it would be Houston if not mistaken, and
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: then the course of the final, if they got that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: far for the first time ever, would be in East Rutherford,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, outside New York City. And it looks like
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: they wanted to keep them on the West coast while
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: they put the marquee teams other marquee team worldwide, Ronaldo's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and whatnot, across the country. Argentina, for instance, started in
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, they played on the East coast. Yesterday, Portugal's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: playing in Houston. They played on the East coast. England
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: played in Dallas, and now they're going to play on
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the East coast. So they're moving the marquee teams around.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Will keep in the United States. See to me, maybe
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: out of that fray on the west and have the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: West to themselves. That's my supposition. No one's told me that.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: This is a funny one from the two o six,
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: So no, Brobard for a guy who goes by s
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: kid two zero six, No what bro Bars, Oh, you
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: don't want the bro Bards well played there or madam
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Will played Will played. I'ma have to change my name
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: after that one.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: I understand why you wouldn't know.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Let's see, Oh, here we go from the two five three, Greg.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I love your journalism and show, mister Bill, true professional.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: I think Fame would be a great choice to be
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: the voice of the Dogs.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that a couple of people have mentioned Dick
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Fane as the voice of the Dogs. I said, Bob Rondo.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: He probably laughed and goes, no, no, no, I'm enjoying
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: my life the way it is. Some of you on
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the text lines, well, Chris may read him, so I
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: won't give him away because we asked that question at
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the top of the show. So Dave Softie mal Or
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: is that?
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Is that the one interview I think Softie would if
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: he's such a fan that I think he would lose
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: his mind in there.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I think he wouldn't be measured enough for when the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: times as the word yeah, he would explode if they won,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: they lost, yeah, the broadcast went at the end, Sorry,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: we have to take a quick commercial break. Technical difficulty,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of dump button work.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: I think he'd be fine without that, I think I
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: think that he could do he does it on radio,
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: is fine, correct, But I think to your point, after
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: a loss, he'd be yelling, and it's just what should
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: be entertaining, I guess, But I don't know if I've.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Ever told the story on the previous iteration of our show.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: But when we when I covered the Sugar Bowl National
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: semi Finals against Texas, well, yes, he was in the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: press box, the booth next to me a top the Superdome.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: But after the game, I was on the field interviewing
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: players amid the confetti and what And then I went
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: into the locker room. They were smoking cigars. The Huskies
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: were celebrating, and then they came. Then I came back out
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to the field and I could hear from nine stories
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: above me Dave Softy mall Are screaming his excitement about
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the Huskies being in a national championship from nine stories
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and a couple of city blocks away from the middle
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of the Superdome field to the top of the Superdome
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: press bug, which is the very top of the stadium
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: on the roof. I always remember that. Yeah, I don't
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: know that I amglearfield. Could they're not ready for that.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: No, that's just you know, that's a M eighty and
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: you're looking for just a little simple firecracker or a
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: firework out there. You're looking for a firecracker and you
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: get a beautiful explosion like you can't contain them.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: That's funny.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Great, But I just to your point Greg after a
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: tough loss.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Like, hey, we have to turn his mic down.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Guys, this is.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: But maybe he you know what, Softy, I say, go
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: for it. I know you're busy, but know it would
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: be the voice of the of the dogs.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I appreciate two five, three for the words on the journalism.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Thank you, So I'm trying to do here.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Three six I'll asked, do we know why the Seahawks
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: didn't get invited to the White House?
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Love the show?
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that the last I checked, they were not invited.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yet they haven't been told no because they haven't been asked.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: But I haven't checked in in a month or two
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: about that issue. It's not unusual for teams to not
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: go after winning a title until months and months later,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: or maybe on their next trip near Washington or during
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the following season. That happens quite a bit, actually, so
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule out that they will still get invited
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: by the White House. And I have been told by
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a couple people within the organization high up that if
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: they are invited, they will go, and they will not
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: make it a spectacle or this big stance, and Seattle
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: will show you. No, they would be accepting of the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: offer to go to the White House as Super Bowl champions,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: but they have yet to receive an offer.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know why, but I do know it's not.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Entirely unusual for those things to happen almost a full
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: year after the championship because of travel schedules and White
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: House commitments and whatnot.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: All right from the four two five, John Ryan found
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: out the Seahawks released him on ESPN ticker while sitting
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: at the bar at Jay's, Jay Berry's and Renton playing
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: pool tabs.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I believe that I actually, I don't believe that. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Actually traded from the he
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: got released released, Yes, when they drafted Michael Dixon, but
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that wasn't a surprise. They'd been talking to him about that.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: When they drafted. They traded, Remember they traded.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: To This is another example of him not being on
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: his phone or by his phone necessarily.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's the first time he realized he
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: was being released. I'm pretty sure that they told him
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: here's what we're doing, especially by the end of that
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: training camp. I talked to him. At the end of
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: that training camp. He knew Dixon was there.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: They just they'd used it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: They traded a draft.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Pick to draft him. Man, who does that?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: A punter?
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: He knew.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: So maybe while he found out that moment as the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: actual moment they released him, they had spoken to him
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and they had There's a great respect among John Schneider
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and John Ryan and his wife Sarah Colonna, and yeah,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: they go back. John Ryan still comes around. He's still
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: have been around. I was at Dino's with him for
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a Seahawk.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Fan celebration about a year or so ago.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Last one from me is from the two five three,
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Elise Woodward and Klan keep it sorry, ro.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Keep Kim Clayman.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: But a last Woodward. She is really good on those
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: broadcasts on the sideline as a sideline analyst, and she
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: does do play by play for women's basketball in particular.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: It was most recently with the Big Ten Network covering
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: women's basketball games. Of course, been with a PAC twelve
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: network in that similar role. Yeah, that would be a
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: recognition of her longtime work and excellence on Husky broadcast.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: That's a good that's a good one. I don't know.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: We'll see what they do again. Ig and Learfield will
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: have some say, but the Washington Athletic Department, of course
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: will as well. The news of Tony caster Cone the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: new broadcaster for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so he was
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: no longer after nine years the voice of Husky football
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and basketball.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Here on ninety three point three.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Kjrf M the two six about the grass issue, says
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: soccer grass will not hold up to NFL games. Well,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: you just get better grass. There are half the league
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: has grass. Don't give me the excuse they don't have
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: grass because NFL owners became billionaires by keeping their money
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and not spending it. And if they don't need to
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: spend it by replacing grass and putting in new grass
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and reseeding grass and every year getting a new grass field.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: They don't.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: They won't so they can have tractor pulls and concerts
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and nobody says anything about that. I think they should
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the players should make it a collective barteying issue say
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: we're not signing this. We're not doing eighteen games until
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you get us all grass fields. You did it for
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. Keep it now a misnomer that they
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: have to actually rip up the grass fields and put
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in new turf. The grass at Lumen Field is over
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the turf. It's a fourteen inch platform. Jackson Feltz was
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: down there telling me all about the ins and outs
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: of the draining system is in that fourteen inches under it,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: but it's a wooden platform that the grass is sitting
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: on top of and planted on, and then the draining
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: system goes into that fourteen inches down to the turf,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: but the turf is still there. So all they're going
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: to do is take down that platform and roll out
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: or roll up the grass and woila. Once you take
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the platform out, there's their turf field and then we're
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: back to status quo with the normal Sounders and Seahawks turf.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: That should not happen, but that's what's going to happen
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: when the World Cup rolls out of here. In the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: first of July. A couple comments on the text line
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: real quick about MVP of the first half of the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: season for the Mariners, Logan Gilbert a couple people's and I.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: Don't blame him, and I'm not.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: You can't argue with Logan Gilbert being the most valuable
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: pitcher on this team and how he's done overall. Yeah,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I get that Mariner's v is a quote player to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: be named later in two six maybe right about that,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: j Rod and Logan Gilbert says the three six zero.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: But I don't have a problem with Randy Rose Arena.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: He's the first Marina that's actually fording with three hundred
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and quite a long time. But two seventy one for
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Jay Rod at this point is very good. If col
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: starts to get hot, I think they all get hot.
• 31:21

• 31:23

• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I think you and I talked about that, like there's.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: We did talk about that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: The NFL doesn't like gambling their players. They like the
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: gambling sponsorships a lot, they don't like it with their
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: players involved with it, or maybe a future player doing
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: it on wait for it, their own sport, their own Well,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: he's got to be CFL bound, isn't he?
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: I would think.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: But even the CFL gets pat on of course, yeah
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: in Canada, and Cana.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Has got more liberal rules and weeding as far as
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: get like, every every province has their own little thing
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: going on.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: So but you think he gets a canadi because I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: was wondering if the Canadian League might even say he's
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: too nuclear to touch. I mean, we got a minute here, Yeah,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you're gonna text one of your Canadians.

• 34:32
  Speaker 4: We'll just call him up and see far He might
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: be in the World Cup stadium. But this guy, I know,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: he was at the Storm game last night with his daughter.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: He's probably gonna put him live on the air. Fire
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: beware hopefully doesn't swear have the dump button ready. Can't
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: trust those Canadians?
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: Is he really?

• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Of course he's wore on our.

  Speaker 5: I know.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: That's why I said. I can't believe he's not answered.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: He knows we're on the air. He's probably listening.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, answer your phone, fella, all right, network guy,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: watch a call back.
• 35:10

• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I think he's in a World Cup stadium. He's on broadcast.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Oh maybe asie. Okay, so he's probably doing that. Yeah.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I My guess is a CFL would welcome me with
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: open arms. That's just Chris's point is a reclamation project.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Here's your chance. Good player, I.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Mean, how good. We don't even know, well.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Better than Nathan Rourke true or Curtis Rourke whatever. Rourke
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: brother's up in BC right now, right, the not good one, right,
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: the one that's not as good it was with Tennessee
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: as a third string guy for two years. So I
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: don't know. Yeah I would. I would think cfluh, the
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: you know, the the tough thing for him. But listen,
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: you make your own bed. You have to. You know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: you're not gonna able to play high level FOOTBA unless
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: you can get in the CFL for a year, which
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: would be good for him. Uh, and get the tape
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: out there, because the other thing is his tape's just okay.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: And that's my point. We don't know how good he is.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: He's just so so at the college level.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so, I mean it's I think the I
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: would say, also, Greg, I don't know what you think.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: I think the NFL did its teams a favor not
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: take the gambling stuff aside, because oh look he's calling
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: hang on, hang on, careful for him. You're on the
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: air live on kJ R and Seattle. How are you good?
• 36:28

  Speaker 4: Would Brendan Soresby be okay to play with the CFL
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: have him up there this year?
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: That's a good question. I just talked to a couple
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: of people about it. I think the gamble you think
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: could affects his ability to play in the CFO as well.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: And I don't think Brandon towards me dromps into the
• 37:00

• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Currently had the arm talent to play in either league. Okay,

  Speaker 7: shopped if you wound up. Did I see a team
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: in the CFL put him on their negotiation? Was absolutely?
• 37:16
