1:26
Speaker 2: and Ashley Ryan get you started here on this Thursday morning,
1:31
Speaker 2: I will say this though, you know I always make
1:33
Speaker 2: an observation.
1:34
Speaker 3: It seems on the drive in.
1:36
Speaker 2: Do you ever have that person at your office place
1:39
Speaker 2: that is wearing way too much of the cologne or
1:42
Speaker 2: the perfume.
1:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that person.
1:45
Speaker 1: I know that person.
1:46
Speaker 2: I always think of this very nice person I used
1:48
Speaker 2: to work with in Phoenix, Nina, And for some reason,
1:51
Speaker 2: she always wore this like all purple sweatsuit like once
1:57
Speaker 2: a week, okay, and very nice person, very very and
2:00
Speaker 2: yet she you could smell her coming. Oh, and it
2:05
Speaker 2: was just a lot, a lot of perfume.
2:08
Speaker 5: We used to work with someone in our old building
2:11
Speaker 5: that you wore a lot of perfume. But it was
2:14
Speaker 5: because she smoked and didn't want people to know she smoked.
2:17
Speaker 4: Oh.
2:17
Speaker 5: I think that was maybe part of this too, was
2:20
Speaker 5: like I'll cover it up with perfume, no one will know.
2:22
Speaker 5: And it's like, actually I can smell that you smoke
2:25
Speaker 5: through the curtains of your perfume. Yeah.
2:28
Speaker 3: And then she would come up and then she would
2:29
Speaker 3: like deliver.
2:30
Speaker 2: She was like the traffic person, so she'd deliver some
2:32
Speaker 2: stuff almost every day, and then it would just stain
2:35
Speaker 2: the air.
2:36
Speaker 3: And it wasn't a bad smell, it was just too much.
2:38
Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean.
2:40
Speaker 2: Uh, Well, I think I've got somebody that topped her
2:43
Speaker 2: this morning, because you know, you drive down the road,
2:46
Speaker 2: and you can, like really, you can smell marijuana that clearly,
2:50
Speaker 2: and then you can smell it for like the next hour,
2:52
Speaker 2: like not hour and a half, but mile and a half.
2:55
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about somebody that's smoking
2:58
Speaker 2: marijuana in their car, but if there's smoke gets into
3:02
Speaker 2: your car, oh.
3:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, it permeates, yeah, and it just stays with you.
3:07
Speaker 3: I had somebody's cologne do that today? Who So somebody
3:11
Speaker 3: from their vehicle had so much cologne on that it
3:16
Speaker 3: acted like marijuana and it wafted into my car. And
3:20
Speaker 3: then I took that cologne smell all the way down
3:23
Speaker 3: Mercer to work.
3:24
Speaker 5: What.
3:24
Speaker 3: Now, that's a lot of cologne.
3:26
Speaker 5: That that poor person, that man must have first good.
3:32
Speaker 5: Probably it's fried nostrils, though, because if you're putting that
3:34
Speaker 5: much on, you have no idea killed your nose.
3:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had no idea. Yeah, how powerful it really is.
3:39
Speaker 1: But you'd think, though, you still know how much you
3:42
Speaker 1: should put on. Uh huh, you still know the squirts.
3:45
Speaker 3: You should know the squirt level. Yeah, you should know.
3:47
Speaker 3: Everybody should know their squirt level. I would think, but
3:51
Speaker 3: I don't know.
3:51
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just like I don't know anything else in life, Like,
3:57
Speaker 2: if you've built yourself up to be in a four
3:59
Speaker 2: donut person, it probably did start at one, and then
4:02
Speaker 2: you went one and a half, Yeah, and then you
4:04
Speaker 2: went to you know, whatever the case might be, and
4:07
Speaker 2: the next thing you know, you're a four donut person.
4:09
Speaker 5: And probably if you wear if you've worn the same
4:11
Speaker 5: Colonne all your whole life with your four donuts, I think, well,
4:16
Speaker 5: I don't smell it anymore, right.
4:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm sure that's what happened.
4:21
Speaker 1: It's yeah, he's been wearing that colone since nineteen twenty three.
4:24
Speaker 2: Apparently it's sympathy that I have for I don't know
4:27
Speaker 2: what his name is, let's call him Clifford. Clifford, I
4:31
Speaker 2: have sympathy for you. But yeah, somebody needs to let
4:34
Speaker 2: Clifford know.
4:35
Speaker 3: It's way too much.
4:36
Speaker 2: If your cologne can go into another person's car, yeah,
4:43
Speaker 2: on the road and then staying the other person. And
4:46
Speaker 2: it actually was a good smell, smelled really good. So
4:49
Speaker 2: you've chosen a good one, Clifford. Uh, it's just you
4:52
Speaker 2: are way over your squirt level.
4:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're oversquirted. Got to dial it back.
4:57
Speaker 3: As a little That's pretty much it.
5:00
Speaker 1: You could even puff and walk through. If you want,
5:02
Speaker 1: you can do.
5:02
Speaker 3: A puff and a walk through. Yeah, I think probably.
5:05
Speaker 3: I mean I did the but you know, those things
5:08
Speaker 3: are pretty powerful. You can probably get away.
5:10
Speaker 5: With just yeah, you can, although I will agree like
5:14
Speaker 5: you need it, like evenly dispersed.
5:17
Speaker 1: There's nothing you don't want, like right there, just on
5:19
Speaker 1: the call, the only place you can smell it.
5:23
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think I don't think men do the
5:26
Speaker 3: puff and walk through, But then again probably that. I
5:29
Speaker 3: have not been around a lot of men getting ready
5:31
Speaker 3: to go out o that wear their cologne.
5:34
Speaker 1: So you're missing out?
5:35
Speaker 3: Am I missing out? Is that something to miss out?
5:38
Speaker 1: Okay, find out from Clifford.
5:40
Speaker 3: I would imagine they're a lot more on time. That's
5:43
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that much. I will tell you that much.
5:46
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Clifford, be careful out there and don't
5:49
Speaker 2: cause any accidents with your oversquirting.
5:53
Speaker 3: Good morning. We are ready to go here on this Thursday.
5:56
Speaker 2: We're gonna take you till ten o'clock here today and
5:59
Speaker 2: then hand things over to Greg Bell. All sorts of
6:02
Speaker 2: fun topics to discuss. We're all over the sports world,
6:06
Speaker 2: and last night there was no sporting event.
6:07
Speaker 3: I don't remember the.
6:08
Speaker 2: Last time I didn't have a sporting event to watch,
6:12
Speaker 2: and it is great.
6:13
Speaker 3: I mean, I love sports.
6:15
Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't be doing this, and considering how
6:18
Speaker 2: much of it I watch, I don't really get sick
6:22
Speaker 2: of it.
6:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is surprising, actually, yeah.
6:25
Speaker 2: I mean there are times in the football season where
6:28
Speaker 2: you get to Monday night and like, I just watched
6:32
Speaker 2: a Friday night Big Ten game all day Saturday, all
6:36
Speaker 2: day Sunday. And I don't typically do that, by the way,
6:39
Speaker 2: I do take a break at some point during the weekend,
6:41
Speaker 2: even football season, but there are some weekends where it's
6:46
Speaker 2: like I can't miss that game, right, and that's stacked
6:49
Speaker 2: on that game, right, and then I gotta watch the
6:51
Speaker 2: Husky game. And so the next thing you know, you
6:53
Speaker 2: have watched a triple header, and then you watch a
6:55
Speaker 2: triple header on Sunday.
6:56
Speaker 3: And seriously, Monday, I gotta watch more football? Does happen?
7:01
Speaker 2: But considering how much I watch, you know, I mean
7:05
Speaker 2: it's sort of like Clifford and his cologne, like I'm
7:07
Speaker 2: watching too much, but I don't even realize it because
7:10
Speaker 2: of how much I watched.
7:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, like, if it wasn't it's only when it's not
7:13
Speaker 5: there that all of a sudden you realize, wait a minute,
7:15
Speaker 5: how much was I watching?
7:16
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, exactly. I mean the doctor always says, I,
7:21
Speaker 2: you watched too much. Yeah.
7:23
Speaker 5: They always ask you how much? How many sporting events
7:25
Speaker 5: are you watching each week? And I always lie, I'm
7:28
Speaker 5: always like one to two a night.
7:31
Speaker 3: Why do we do that? Why can't we just be honest?
7:35
Speaker 3: Because they judge with our doctor, they.
7:37
Speaker 2: Judge how many sporting events we watch?
7:39
Speaker 1: Were always judging us.
7:41
Speaker 3: But so, yeah, it was nice. It was nice. I
7:44
Speaker 3: didn't have to worry about it.
7:45
Speaker 2: Went and had a dinner outdoors, you know, had a
7:48
Speaker 2: just a couple of glasses of wine, nice meal, sat
7:52
Speaker 2: outside sunset, so you got the It was a warm
7:57
Speaker 2: until the sunset.
7:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, once the clouds came in, that got a little chile.
8:00
Speaker 3: Oh really Yeah. I wish I would have been out
8:02
Speaker 3: for that woods. Yeah, but so it was nice. It
8:06
Speaker 3: was nice not to have it.
8:07
Speaker 2: But of course there was a sporting convent that happened
8:10
Speaker 2: last night. The Open Championship got started at what ten thirty.
8:14
Speaker 2: Brady Cannon, who we have on before every major, he
8:17
Speaker 2: did text me and wanted to know where his pajamas were,
8:21
Speaker 2: so I'd need to make that a tradition.
8:23
Speaker 3: Really need to remind me and I'll try. Yea, yeah exactly,
8:27
Speaker 3: and we'll see if we can get to that.
8:29
Speaker 2: But yes, it's underway the Open Championship in Southport, England
8:33
Speaker 2: at Royal Birkdale. Alex Smally is leading with one hole
8:39
Speaker 2: to go in his first day at five under, but
8:43
Speaker 2: some pretty solid scores so far. Of course, isn't playing
8:46
Speaker 2: too difficult. It feels like I didn't watch a lot
8:49
Speaker 2: of it, to be frank, but then again, it did
8:52
Speaker 2: start at ten thirty last night.
8:54
Speaker 3: Start at ten thirty? Right?
8:56
Speaker 2: Oh no, how many Mariner games I'd be sticking around
8:58
Speaker 2: for if they all started at ten thirty.
9:00
Speaker 1: Well, it depends on how they're playing.
9:02
Speaker 3: That's true, Yeah, that's true.
9:03
Speaker 5: I was like, well, if they're playing a lot of
9:05
Speaker 5: the ones I've seen, definitely wouldn't.
9:08
Speaker 2: We're gonna have updates for you live from Royal Birkdale
9:11
Speaker 2: twenty after and we'll start them right away today.
9:14
Speaker 3: We'll get to one at six twenty here this morning.
9:17
Speaker 3: Scotty Scheffler is at three under.
9:19
Speaker 2: At this point I thought Rory was going to win
9:23
Speaker 2: this tournament to kind of close out what has been
9:27
Speaker 2: a really eventful year for him. But I'm not even
9:30
Speaker 2: seeing him anywhere near.
9:31
Speaker 1: The I don't know if he's off yet.
9:33
Speaker 3: Oh he hasn't even teed off yet.
9:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's still a lot of the seeing if he
9:38
Speaker 1: has or hasn't. I don't see his name there either,
9:41
Speaker 1: so oh yeah, there he is. He off at seven
9:43
Speaker 1: fifty retire. Yeah he's done. Yeah, he said I can't
9:46
Speaker 1: with this.
9:46
Speaker 2: All right, So he hasn't. So he hasn't even teed
9:49
Speaker 2: off yet. So there are a lot of guys let
9:51
Speaker 2: yet to hit the course.
9:52
Speaker 3: At Royal Birkdale. But Scotty Scheffler is at three under.
9:56
Speaker 3: And I brought this up briefly at the end of
9:59
Speaker 3: the show. Yes, and I'm not sure Ashley was agreeing
10:03
Speaker 3: with me on it. But this is not really criticism.
10:06
Speaker 3: I'm not really criticizing either.
10:08
Speaker 2: Of these elite golfers McElroy or Scottie Scheffler. But there
10:13
Speaker 2: was a piece of audio that made its way around
10:15
Speaker 2: about they were asked about how do you think you're
10:19
Speaker 2: gonna feel one hundred years from now about your legacy?
10:22
Speaker 2: And they both looked at each other and they were like,
10:24
Speaker 2: we're gonna be dead. Who cares, yeah, and that was
10:27
Speaker 2: sort of their reaction to it. And you know, honestly,
10:31
Speaker 2: that is the truth.
10:34
Speaker 3: But it really is.
10:35
Speaker 2: And this isn't anything that I am internalizing. This is
10:39
Speaker 2: me being in sports talk radio since I was nineteen
10:43
Speaker 2: years old, and so I've watched a few careers in
10:47
Speaker 2: my life unfold, and to me, it is and Ror
10:51
Speaker 2: is not exactly a young athlete anymore, but considering the
10:55
Speaker 2: sport of golf.
10:57
Speaker 3: He still has.
10:58
Speaker 2: I mean, you could argue he's still in his prime
11:00
Speaker 2: and he's got a lot of golf left left in
11:03
Speaker 2: his career. But it's the kind of comment that somebody
11:06
Speaker 2: that is on the top of their game, that has
11:10
Speaker 2: made a mountain of money, that you know, all the
11:14
Speaker 2: girls still you know, are interested in, and the type
11:18
Speaker 2: of guy that you know still has his young kids
11:22
Speaker 2: that run toward him after every tournament. Like things are
11:26
Speaker 2: really good for Scottie Scheffler and Rory McElroy to the
11:30
Speaker 2: point now that they can they don't have to really
11:34
Speaker 2: worry about some reporters feelings and they can pretty much
11:40
Speaker 2: say on the podium that's a stupid question or that's ridiculous,
11:45
Speaker 2: and I don't care, and they can be dismissive.
11:48
Speaker 3: That's the stage they're in.
11:49
Speaker 2: And I've watched plenty of athletes in their prime sit
11:54
Speaker 2: there when they're on top of their game, they're on top.
11:56
Speaker 3: Of their financial moneymaking ability, they have accomplished a lot already.
12:04
Speaker 2: They still have a lot to go if they want to.
12:07
Speaker 2: But a lot of them act like legacy, I don't
12:10
Speaker 2: care about legacy.
12:11
Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care about.
12:12
Speaker 2: Legacy, And they give that attitude like I could walk
12:15
Speaker 2: away from this game right now and then all of
12:19
Speaker 2: a sudden, and I don't care who it is.
12:21
Speaker 3: With the exception of like Robert Smith and Barry Sanders
12:24
Speaker 3: and Patrick Willis and a few guys that shocked the
12:27
Speaker 3: world by stepping away from the game when they had
12:30
Speaker 3: a lot left in the tank. Those are guys, those
12:33
Speaker 3: are that's a different breed. But the Barry Bonds of
12:36
Speaker 3: Barry Bonds.
12:37
Speaker 2: At twenty eight was saying I don't need this game
12:40
Speaker 2: anymore at twenty eight. Then we had to kick him
12:42
Speaker 2: out of the league at forty three because he wouldn't
12:44
Speaker 2: go away. I mean, all this scandal and all of
12:47
Speaker 2: this controversy, and he had to be told go away
12:52
Speaker 2: before he went away, not publicly but privately. But it
12:57
Speaker 2: happens to so many of them that when they're in
13:00
Speaker 2: their prime, they're very dismissive about things like legacy. And
13:04
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, the sports world not as
13:07
Speaker 2: many people are attending their press conferences, and they're not
13:11
Speaker 2: at the top of the leader board much anymore, and
13:13
Speaker 2: they're not winning every tournament or they're not a factor
13:17
Speaker 2: on Sundays as much anymore. And now all of a sudden,
13:21
Speaker 2: their wife doesn't think it's as cool a thing to
13:23
Speaker 2: be married to Rory McElroy now that he's not as
13:28
Speaker 2: not as in demand as he once was. And his
13:31
Speaker 2: kids are now sixteen and seventeen, and they've got green hair,
13:34
Speaker 2: and they're angry that you weren't around for my youth
13:37
Speaker 2: because you were out playing golf all the time. I mean,
13:40
Speaker 2: this is what happens. And then the next thing, you know,
13:43
Speaker 2: you know what happens.
13:45
Speaker 3: Then they start putting everything in perspective, and now they
13:48
Speaker 3: start missing that prime and now they're.
13:51
Speaker 2: Like out to prove I still can do this, I'm
13:53
Speaker 2: still the best. And now they do start thinking about legacy.
13:58
Speaker 2: And then the next thing, you know, they can't let
14:00
Speaker 2: it let go. Then they can't walk away from the game.
14:03
Speaker 2: It's happened. Wait, and I'm not saying that's gonna happen
14:06
Speaker 2: to Rory McElroy. I'm not saying that's gonna happen to
14:08
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler. Maybe they are two that have everything in
14:11
Speaker 2: perfect perspective. I'm just saying, be careful being snied about
14:17
Speaker 2: that and being dismissive about that, because most athletes do
14:22
Speaker 2: reach a point where you are at the end of it,
14:25
Speaker 2: and then you do think about legacy, and then all
14:29
Speaker 2: of a sudden, that's all you're about. I mean, Tiger
14:34
Speaker 2: Woods keeps trying to come back from thirty different injuries
14:38
Speaker 2: because he wants that one last glorious moment. Michael Jordan
14:44
Speaker 2: came back and played for the Wizards. I mean he
14:46
Speaker 2: walked away from the game at age twenty eight to
14:49
Speaker 2: go play baseball.
14:50
Speaker 3: For goodness sake. Every single boxer retires at twenty five
14:55
Speaker 3: years old, and they think that they don't need to
14:57
Speaker 3: do it anymore, and yet Floyd Mayweather is still fighting
15:00
Speaker 3: on occasion.
15:01
Speaker 2: So it is something this sports world like when you
15:06
Speaker 2: are at the top of it. It is a drug.
15:09
Speaker 2: It is something that a lot of us can't relate to.
15:13
Speaker 2: And then when that drug starts being taken away from you,
15:15
Speaker 2: you start having withdrawal and the next thing you know,
15:19
Speaker 2: you do. It does hit you hard when you're forty
15:22
Speaker 2: five years old, fifty two years old, maybe as a
15:25
Speaker 2: golfer and you're struggling to make the cut at the
15:28
Speaker 2: latest major routinely, and all of a sudden, you're like,
15:33
Speaker 2: legacy is all that I need, That's all I'm about
15:36
Speaker 2: right now. So I hope that they're the exception, but
15:41
Speaker 2: typically the rule is that it will catch up to
15:44
Speaker 2: them and those questions about legacy will become very important
15:48
Speaker 2: to them. Not to mention not worthy of being just
15:51
Speaker 2: outwardly dismissed or your eyes roll or you tell a
15:55
Speaker 2: reporter that's a dumb question, because it will matter to
15:58
Speaker 2: them at some point down the line, and if not,
16:00
Speaker 2: they're one of the exceptions.
16:02
Speaker 5: I think part of it was the brandness and the
16:04
Speaker 5: timing of the question. You know, you're getting ready. It's
16:07
Speaker 5: the day before the Open Championship, and to have that
16:09
Speaker 5: question was probably through them for a loop. And then
16:12
Speaker 5: in Rory's case, I think specifically he doesn't want to
16:18
Speaker 5: think about the mark he has to leave on the
16:20
Speaker 5: game because of what the PGA Tour, the positions the
16:24
Speaker 5: PGA Tour has put him in. I think if you
16:26
Speaker 5: would have asked him that question two years ago, three
16:28
Speaker 5: years ago, when he when they kind of pushed him
16:32
Speaker 5: to be the face of the PGA Tour, when Live
16:34
Speaker 5: Golf came in and Rory had to be the one
16:36
Speaker 5: speaking and trying to stand up for PGA Golf, I
16:39
Speaker 5: think he would have thought, Yeah, I want this to
16:42
Speaker 5: be my legacy that I helped secure PGA, you know,
16:46
Speaker 5: the PGA Tour and make sure that we had this
16:50
Speaker 5: continuing and that it didn't leave because some other group
16:53
Speaker 5: with boatloads of money came in and tried to ruin everything.
16:56
Speaker 5: And if I helped save that or I help keep
16:58
Speaker 5: the PGA Tour with the PGA is supposed to be,
17:01
Speaker 5: then that's great. But then he kind of got screwed
17:03
Speaker 5: over in that moment, and so I think at this
17:06
Speaker 5: point he's like, I'm just worried about me and my golf,
17:09
Speaker 5: and that's it because I've already been put in these
17:11
Speaker 5: positions where I was having to be something more.
17:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair, and I'm not being critical of Yeah,
17:17
Speaker 2: I'm not. I think every prominent athlete that's had as
17:21
Speaker 2: much success as they are, they have the same notion.
17:25
Speaker 2: I'm just saying more likely than not. Before it's all sedient,
17:30
Speaker 2: before you're done playing, Yeah, legacy and what you left
17:34
Speaker 2: behind will become more important than anything. It will become
17:37
Speaker 2: more important than the next buck you make. It'll become
17:40
Speaker 2: more important than the next cute girl that bats her
17:43
Speaker 2: eyes at you. It'll become more important than just about
17:46
Speaker 2: anything that you accomplished as a professional athlete will be
17:50
Speaker 2: your legacy.
17:50
Speaker 3: And I've seen plenty.
17:52
Speaker 2: Of guys in their prime making boatloads of money that
17:57
Speaker 2: thought it didn't matter and were dismiss about it.
18:00
Speaker 3: And those are the ones that you can't get out
18:04
Speaker 3: of their sport.
18:04
Speaker 2: It's like, go away, You've already you've accomplished everything you
18:09
Speaker 2: can accomplish, and yet they're holding on for the last
18:12
Speaker 2: strands of legacy and to prove one more time.
18:15
Speaker 3: I'm a vest.
18:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a mist And luckily for golf, they can
18:18
Speaker 5: go to the senior Tour so they don't have to
18:20
Speaker 5: leave right away. But I hear what you're saying, and
18:21
Speaker 5: I wonder if that a lot of that just has
18:23
Speaker 5: to do with age, and when you're young, you just
18:24
Speaker 5: don't think, like I worry about what I'm leaving behind.
18:27
Speaker 5: And then as you get older and you start it
18:29
Speaker 5: starts to hit you. You're like, gosh, yeah, thousand.
18:32
Speaker 3: They both know they've accomplished a lot. I got a
18:36
Speaker 3: lot of money.
18:36
Speaker 2: I'm still either at or near the top of my game,
18:40
Speaker 2: and I got a lot of great golf left. Yeah,
18:42
Speaker 2: it's when it starts to slip away from You're like, oh, wow,
18:46
Speaker 2: I didn't know that that last major.
18:48
Speaker 3: I didn't know that major I won seven years ago
18:51
Speaker 3: was going to be my last one.
18:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:53
Speaker 2: That then it starts to kind of soak in on you.
18:55
Speaker 2: So I just say, I've heard this before. I've heard
19:00
Speaker 2: it before, Scotty, I've heard it before, Rory. Maybe you'll
19:04
Speaker 2: be there are there are outliers.
19:06
Speaker 3: There are guys that have stepped away at the exact
19:09
Speaker 3: right time, and like the most important things in life
19:12
Speaker 3: are my family and my wife and my you know,
19:15
Speaker 3: and and my mental well being and my health.
19:18
Speaker 2: Those are the There are guys that do that, but more,
19:20
Speaker 2: but there have been a lot more that eventually do
19:26
Speaker 2: sort of worry about their legacy before they can step away.
19:30
Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what is on tap for
19:32
Speaker 2: the rest of the show Today.

Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM. We'll celebrate that
20:26
Speaker 2: with Brandon Montour today at nine point thirty. Lebron watch.
20:30
Speaker 2: I have predicted he'll make the announcement today, even though
20:34
Speaker 2: not reading anywhere where they feel like we're seconds away
20:37
Speaker 2: from this occurring, But yes we are. I think we
20:41
Speaker 2: might find out where Lebron is going to play his
20:44
Speaker 2: basketball to close out his NBA career today, If so,
20:47
Speaker 2: will pass it along. We're nine days from training camp
20:50
Speaker 2: for the Seahawks. Husky's One series continues today with Christian
20:53
Speaker 2: Cable at nine o'clock.
20:54
Speaker 3: We'll talk about the defensive backs.
20:56
Speaker 2: And the Mariners will resume the second half of their
20:59
Speaker 2: season tomorrow at seven o'clock at home against the lowly
21:04
Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants. As a matter of fact, we'll have
21:07
Speaker 2: the ABC's of the MS coming up next. Plenty of
21:10
Speaker 2: Mariner baseball conversation today, but right now, let's get an
21:14
Speaker 2: update from Royal Birkdale.
21:16
Speaker 1: Connected the board this morning. Yours was on.
21:18
Speaker 5: The pot was all down, but your mic was on,
21:21
Speaker 5: so I turned it off, thinking you accidentally hit it.
21:24
Speaker 5: But I'll just be the one that turns it on
21:26
Speaker 5: enough for you, So you just give me this.
21:28
Speaker 3: Oh, so you can turn it on.
21:30
Speaker 2: I think somebody crushed my button into the console. So
21:34
Speaker 2: I don't know if Dick Than got really angry with
21:36
Speaker 2: you last night or not. Yeah, but yeah, it's like
21:40
Speaker 2: crushed into the console.
21:41
Speaker 1: Okay, well I will turn it on and off for you.
21:43
Speaker 3: So yeah, that might be what we have to do.
21:46
Speaker 3: I should still probably have to have it on from
21:48
Speaker 3: in here.
21:49
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, that's all to the engineers.
21:52
Speaker 2: That's what we're having an issue with this morning. Not
21:54
Speaker 2: a big issue. We're good, We're good to go.
21:57
Speaker 3: And it is time for the ABC's of the MS. Yes,
22:00
Speaker 3: so we allow the alphabet to be a guide to
22:02
Speaker 3: a daily Mariner's segment.
22:03
Speaker 2: We never know where it's going to take us. And
22:05
Speaker 2: we left off yesterday at the letter k K is
22:08
Speaker 2: for killer. And I do hesitate with this because my
22:15
Speaker 2: natural urge is to say, you know, what would be
22:18
Speaker 2: a killer is if the Mariners get off to a
22:21
Speaker 2: slow start in the second half. But I always have
22:25
Speaker 2: to keep in the back of my mind, I've done
22:28
Speaker 2: this before this season like five times, and I have
22:33
Speaker 2: done this in the past every season, like five times.
22:37
Speaker 2: And you're sure that there's this crux, this moment in
22:40
Speaker 2: the season where all right, now's the time where you
22:43
Speaker 2: got to seize this opportunity and.
22:45
Speaker 3: If you don't, you're screwed.
22:48
Speaker 2: And the Mariners almost and I will say almost always
22:53
Speaker 2: prove us wrong because obviously we haven't made the playoffs.
22:58
Speaker 2: Every single year, but we here recently, but they have
23:02
Speaker 2: contended every single year here for the last five six seasons,
23:07
Speaker 2: and so they have these moments in the year where
23:11
Speaker 2: you're just sure, like this is where you've got to
23:14
Speaker 2: take hold of this season.
23:16
Speaker 3: All Right, you've farted around for nearly one hundred games,
23:21
Speaker 3: but here we are. You've had this big giant break
23:24
Speaker 3: here at the All Star break.
23:25
Speaker 2: Only Randy didn't have a full week off to get
23:29
Speaker 2: ready for the second half of the season. And you've
23:31
Speaker 2: got the San Francisco Giants, who couldn't have had a
23:35
Speaker 2: more nightmarish season this year. And you've got the Cincinnati
23:38
Speaker 2: Reds who've been fading fast, and you've got them at
23:42
Speaker 2: home for the next six days before you go to
23:45
Speaker 2: Texas and show the Texas Rangers who the team to
23:49
Speaker 2: beat is in the American League West. You'll have a
23:52
Speaker 2: four game series in Texas. So these next six games
23:55
Speaker 2: feel important. Probably won't be, but they do feel. It
24:00
Speaker 2: feels like you can't fumble these. It feels like you
24:04
Speaker 2: at least got to go four and two. But obviously
24:08
Speaker 2: baseball math works differently than any other math, and so yeah,
24:12
Speaker 2: I'm sure they could go one in five. Oh I
24:15
Speaker 2: know they can't one in five and then rally from it,
24:18
Speaker 2: but it does feel it makes sense. You know, it's
24:22
Speaker 2: logical that they could really benefit from a good start
24:28
Speaker 2: to the second half, and it will feel like a
24:31
Speaker 2: killer if they don't seize this opportunity to get off
24:35
Speaker 2: to a great start in the second half when the
24:37
Speaker 2: schedule aligns for them so favorably.
24:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially as you said coming out of the All
24:41
Speaker 5: Star break, you just lost five of your last six before.
24:44
Speaker 1: You went into the break, but you ended on a win.
24:46
Speaker 1: So take that for whatever.
24:48
Speaker 5: It's worth and turn it into something to come out
24:50
Speaker 5: of this break, because at this point, honestly, you have
24:52
Speaker 5: no excuses for playing the way you've been playing. Step
24:55
Speaker 5: it up, put your big boy pants on.
24:57
Speaker 1: Let's go.
24:58
Speaker 2: Speaking of a big boy pants, Robbie Ray is going
25:01
Speaker 2: to be pitching against the pants.
25:04
Speaker 3: Tight pants.
25:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's in a tight pants. That's the song. We
25:09
Speaker 1: got to play that.
25:10
Speaker 3: Yeah.
25:11
Speaker 2: I don't think he's pitching until Sunday, so we might
25:13
Speaker 2: have to jump ahead of that.
25:14
Speaker 1: We might have to.
25:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, Robbie Ray, he'll probably get traded at the deadline.
25:18
Speaker 2: L is for laz As in laz Montes. This is
25:22
Speaker 2: This is gonna be an interesting storyline to follow between
25:25
Speaker 2: now and the trading deadline. Obviously, no one's in a
25:28
Speaker 2: rush to hit the trading deadline to get active in
25:31
Speaker 2: the trading deadline. We are at July sixteenth, the deadline's
25:35
Speaker 2: August third this year, so you got a good three
25:38
Speaker 2: weeks remaining here before you know, it's crunch time, right,
25:43
Speaker 2: and so nobody's racing to it. And partly because the
25:46
Speaker 2: market's not set. We've only got seven sellers on the
25:49
Speaker 2: entire market in all of Major League Baseball, which is outlandish,
25:53
Speaker 2: and it has everything to do with how down a
25:57
Speaker 2: first half the American League had, so nearly everybody in
25:59
Speaker 2: the American League is still alive. The Tigers in the
26:01
Speaker 2: Red Sox couldn't have been worse for most of the
26:04
Speaker 2: first half of the season, but because nobody ran away
26:06
Speaker 2: and hit from them, the Tigers in the Red Sox
26:08
Speaker 2: started playing better going into the All Star break, and
26:11
Speaker 2: lo and behold, they find themselves back in the race.
26:14
Speaker 2: So the trade market is not set, and so this
26:18
Speaker 2: is going to give Jerry and Justin some time to
26:22
Speaker 2: evaluate a guy like Las Montes. And I do remind
26:25
Speaker 2: everyone what Justin told me in spring training. We joked
26:28
Speaker 2: around about Las Montes hitting forty home runs this year,
26:32
Speaker 2: and it was mostly a joke, not that he wasn't
26:34
Speaker 2: capable of it. And Justin Hollander told us, I can
26:38
Speaker 2: promise you if Las Montes hits forty home runs this year,
26:42
Speaker 2: some of.
26:43
Speaker 3: Those will be in a Mariner uniform. That's what he
26:45
Speaker 3: told us.
26:46
Speaker 2: Well, Las Montes is at twenty six home runs this year,
26:50
Speaker 2: twenty five in Arkansas and now one in Tacoma. He
26:54
Speaker 2: is not hitting all that well in Tacoma. He's three
26:57
Speaker 2: for twenty seven at Tacoma, so it's hitting one of
27:00
Speaker 2: it and he only has that one home run. So
27:02
Speaker 2: obviously the veteran pitchers, those four A veteran pitchers with
27:07
Speaker 2: all their junk, have been a little different of a
27:11
Speaker 2: challenge for Las Montes. He hasn't exactly hit the ground
27:14
Speaker 2: running at Triple A. But if he does make an impact, man,
27:19
Speaker 2: what is that going to do to Jerry and Justin's
27:23
Speaker 2: plans for the trade deadline, Because all of a sudden
27:26
Speaker 2: you're gonna be running out of roster spots. You got
27:28
Speaker 2: Brendan Donovan hopefully getting activated soon. If Montes ends up
27:34
Speaker 2: being a piece. Now you get you've already got too
27:37
Speaker 2: many left handed hitters. So then then what happens because
27:43
Speaker 2: somebody's got to go in that process. I mean, we
27:48
Speaker 2: already have a numbers crunch, like West and Wilson's going
27:51
Speaker 2: to be let go before tomorrow, Julio will be activated.
27:55
Speaker 2: But you also have Rob Reschneider and that mystery, Yeah,
28:00
Speaker 2: how injured was he?
28:02
Speaker 3: Really?
28:03
Speaker 2: Is he ever going to be back on the roster?
28:05
Speaker 2: Do you want him back on the roster? But you
28:08
Speaker 2: start introducing a Donovan and Montes back into this situation
28:12
Speaker 2: when you've already called up the Colt Emerson and all
28:15
Speaker 2: of a sudden, that roster that you had envisioned to
28:17
Speaker 2: have for the second half of the season. There's a
28:20
Speaker 2: numbers crunch here, and then on top of it, you're
28:24
Speaker 2: thinking about adding a piece at the trading deadline that's
28:27
Speaker 2: going to cost somebody else their jobs. So it's gonna
28:30
Speaker 2: be interesting to see Las Montes will dictate whether or not.
28:33
Speaker 2: I mean, he can force the issue. You've got to
28:35
Speaker 2: put me in the lineup. There's no way the way
28:37
Speaker 2: I'm hitting home runs that you can keep me out
28:40
Speaker 2: of the major league lineup. And yet his struggles at
28:43
Speaker 2: Tacoma by the time, but they've got until August third
28:48
Speaker 2: right to figure out whether or not Las Montes should
28:52
Speaker 2: be a part of this barring injury, because my guess
28:57
Speaker 2: is if he's not showing that, they'll go get that piece,
29:00
Speaker 2: and we all want them to get that piece, and
29:02
Speaker 2: that makes the roster structure even more difficult to fit
29:07
Speaker 2: another prospect into.
29:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it is interesting to see that he
29:12
Speaker 5: struggled a bit into coma. It makes me realize, oh,
29:13
Speaker 5: he is a bit human. But I don't think the
29:16
Speaker 5: struggles are going to last long, that's for sure. I
29:18
Speaker 5: think he'll figure it out pretty quickly.
29:20
Speaker 2: It's a different it's a different league. I mean it
29:22
Speaker 2: is the Casey Lawrence. Think of Casey Lawrence. I mean,
29:25
Speaker 2: that's just a veteran pitcher who knows how to pitch.
29:28
Speaker 2: He's going to find out your weakness, he's going to
29:30
Speaker 2: exploit it.
29:31
Speaker 3: At double A. He's facing every he's facing.
29:34
Speaker 2: One hundred miles per hour, ninety eight miles per hour
29:37
Speaker 2: on a lot of pitchers, so the stuff he can handle.
29:41
Speaker 3: It is the mind game of facing a veteran. Then
29:45
Speaker 3: that's why they wanted him to get some time into
29:47
Speaker 3: coma and he's struggling with it. Yeah, those veterans are
29:51
Speaker 3: have figured out some holes.
29:52
Speaker 2: And are exploiting them. When you get to the majors,
29:55
Speaker 2: now you've got elite talent with that mindset, and so
30:00
Speaker 2: that's why you can have a prospect that dominated in the
30:03
Speaker 2: miners then comes up to the major leagues and goes
30:05
Speaker 2: one for thirty eight. Right, that's why that happens. So
30:09
Speaker 2: it's good that he's in Tacoma, but he certainly is
30:14
Speaker 2: struggling right now, and the veterans are having a field
30:18
Speaker 2: day with him. Finally, and just quickly, m is for Michael,
30:21
Speaker 2: because Michael Arroyo got called up at the exact same time. Now,
30:25
Speaker 2: Montes is the one that we keep talking about. But
30:28
Speaker 2: Michael Arroyo has an eleven hundred plus ops in his
30:32
Speaker 2: thirty two at bats at Triple A, so he hasn't
30:34
Speaker 2: had any difficulty at all. As a matter of fact,
30:36
Speaker 2: he's gotten better since being activated, since going from Double
30:40
Speaker 2: A to Triple A. He's going to be a special talent.
30:43
Speaker 3: I do believe that.
30:45
Speaker 2: But I do believe he is the guy that you
30:48
Speaker 2: would trade over Las Montes. You just don't trade power
30:52
Speaker 2: like that. Plus, we've got an awful lot of middle
30:54
Speaker 2: infielders who are young that are occupying some really important
30:57
Speaker 2: positions right now. Yes, all right, coming out, So just
31:01
Speaker 2: where it does JSN rank among the best wide receivers
31:05
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. There's the ESPN trying to
31:08
Speaker 2: tell us and maybe we don't agree. Sports Radio ninety
31:10
Speaker 2: three point three kjr FM.
31:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got broken microphone, sure do.
31:24
Speaker 2: All this responsibility is in your hands now, Ashley.
31:27
Speaker 1: Oh that's actually you don't want to tell me that.
31:31
Speaker 1: I just turn your mic on and off.
31:32
Speaker 2: Well, I said, not very much of this power is
31:36
Speaker 2: in your hands, Ashley.
31:37
Speaker 5: As you're interviewing Brad Evans, I just mute you and
31:40
Speaker 5: I started asking questions.
31:42
Speaker 3: You can take them. Brad. We'll enjoy that. Good morning
31:45
Speaker 3: to you. It is Chuck and Ashley with you.
31:47
Speaker 2: Brad Evans will be joining us at seven oh five,
31:49
Speaker 2: so we'll talk plenty of World Cup with Brad and
31:51
Speaker 2: uh yeah, we'll talk amongst ourselves about it later in
31:54
Speaker 2: the show as well. We also have your headlines coming
31:56
Speaker 2: up at seven o'clock. And don't forget the Open Championship
32:00
Speaker 2: is underway at Royal book Dale and I am going
32:03
Speaker 2: to say it like that most of the day, I
32:05
Speaker 2: would hope. So yeah, and so far you got Daniel
32:09
Speaker 2: Brown and Sung jay Em are four under.
32:12
Speaker 3: They're your leaders. What happened to our leader just Alex Smalley. Oh,
32:16
Speaker 3: he must have had a double bogie. He's at three
32:18
Speaker 3: under right now.
32:19
Speaker 2: Scheffler also three under through sixteen, will have live updates
32:24
Speaker 2: from Southport, England, twenty after the hour, every hour throughout
32:29
Speaker 2: the course of Day one of the Open Championship. But
32:32
Speaker 2: let's talk a little football. We're nine days away from
32:35
Speaker 2: Seahawks opening training camp. Our coverage will begin in eleven
32:39
Speaker 2: days from now here on Sports Radio ninety three point
32:42
Speaker 2: three KJARFM. We're not going to launch it on a Saturday.
32:45
Speaker 2: We'll wait till Monday. Yes seems appropriate. Yes, we like
32:48
Speaker 2: to have our weekends too.
32:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
32:50
Speaker 2: Well, I don't even think there's going to be a
32:52
Speaker 2: real feel for training camp. I think people just report
32:55
Speaker 2: on the twenty fifth, But we'll have practice starting on
32:59
Speaker 2: the twenty seventh, I understand it, and the Seahawks will
33:04
Speaker 2: start the defense of their World championship. So in the meantime,
33:07
Speaker 2: we have all of these lists that are coming out,
33:09
Speaker 2: and now they're competing lists because Jeremy Fowler has interviewed executives, coaches,
33:19
Speaker 2: I don't know who else.
33:20
Speaker 3: Family members. We have no idea.
33:22
Speaker 2: He keeps it secret, but I think he's trying to
33:25
Speaker 2: beat to the punch some of these other lists that
33:28
Speaker 2: inevitably come out, even our own Mike Sandos quarterback tiers.
33:32
Speaker 2: Jeremy Fowler got his quarterback list out. We talked about
33:34
Speaker 2: Sam Donald.
33:35
Speaker 3: It worked.
33:35
Speaker 2: We talked about Sam Donald in that poll for two
33:38
Speaker 2: straight days, yep. And yesterday the wide receivers came out.
33:42
Speaker 2: And here's the pretty much the consensus opinion out there
33:46
Speaker 2: that there are four top guys. There is a mount
33:48
Speaker 2: rushmore of wide receivers in the National Football League, But
33:51
Speaker 2: what order do you put them in? And JSN is
33:55
Speaker 2: one of those four. Now, he was Offensive or Defense
34:00
Speaker 2: player of the Year this past season, so he was
34:04
Speaker 2: the best wide receiver in the National Football League this
34:08
Speaker 2: past season statistically, But is he the best?
34:10
Speaker 3: Sometimes that doesn't always mean it.
34:13
Speaker 2: Well, he's not number one on either the ESPN list
34:17
Speaker 2: or on Pro Football Focus because they came out with
34:20
Speaker 2: a list yesterday to ranking the top wide receivers in
34:23
Speaker 2: the National Football League. So ESPN has Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson,
34:28
Speaker 2: JSN third, and Puka Nakua fourth. But I think Pro
34:32
Speaker 2: Football Focus is.
34:33
Speaker 3: A little more accurate.
34:36
Speaker 2: Their list is Pooka Nikua one, JSN two, Justin Jefferson three,
34:42
Speaker 2: and Jamar Chase four. Now, the only thing that I
34:45
Speaker 2: would change about Pro Football Focus is I would flip
34:49
Speaker 2: Chase and Justin Jefferson. So my list would be Pookah
34:53
Speaker 2: because I just he seems unstoppable. You're exactly so does JSN.
35:00
Speaker 2: But he Pooka has the power quotient to which maybe
35:06
Speaker 2: JSN doesn't quite have that same power, like you could
35:09
Speaker 2: just muscle through you. But I go Puka, JSN, Chase,
35:14
Speaker 2: and Jeffers.
35:15
Speaker 5: I think that's a good order and the only reason why,
35:17
Speaker 5: I mean, my Seahawks fan in me wants to put
35:20
Speaker 5: JSN first and say he's the best. I mean, he
35:22
Speaker 5: won Offensive Player or whatever All Defensive Player of the Year,
35:25
Speaker 5: and uh, but I think if I can despise the
35:29
Speaker 5: Rams and Puka Akua as much as I do and
35:31
Speaker 5: still respect the fact that he's damn good, he probably
35:34
Speaker 5: deserves the number one spot.
35:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's pretty Spare and I it caught me
35:39
Speaker 6: off guard even up until this past season. Yeah, he
35:43
Speaker 6: was there available like in a fantasy in our fantasy draft,
35:46
Speaker 6: and I'm.
35:46
Speaker 2: Like, he's not that good, and then he goes out
35:50
Speaker 2: and dominates.
35:51
Speaker 3: Yeah he is that.
35:53
Speaker 2: He is that good, and so is JSN, and so
35:54
Speaker 2: is Jamar Chase, and so is Justin Jefferson. H I
35:57
Speaker 2: sort of get that. Maybe JSNS to do that back
36:01
Speaker 2: to back years, put up those gaudy statistics like that,
36:04
Speaker 2: because Jamar Chase has already done it several years in
36:07
Speaker 2: a row. Justin Jefferson did it. He hasn't lately because
36:10
Speaker 2: he hasn't had the quarterback to get him the football. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
36:16
Speaker 2: But even that year, he didn't put up numbers with
36:18
Speaker 2: Sam like JSN put up with Sam a year ago.
36:22
Speaker 2: But the last thing I'll point out about this, and
36:24
Speaker 2: I find this interesting, is that according to Fowler in
36:28
Speaker 2: his research, Jamar Chase was not only number one, but
36:32
Speaker 2: runaway number one, Like it wasn't even close. And I
36:37
Speaker 2: think it's got to be close.
36:38
Speaker 3: I would think it's got to be at least.
36:40
Speaker 2: With JSNN, with Puka, it's got to be close. But
36:43
Speaker 2: according to the executives and coaches and family members that
36:46
Speaker 2: he pulled. It was a runaway. Jamar Chase's number one,
36:50
Speaker 2: and he's fantastic, There's no getting around it. I just
36:53
Speaker 2: don't know. Like to me, I never ever question like
36:58
Speaker 2: JSN or Puoka effort on any play, and sometimes I
37:02
Speaker 2: do with Jamar Chi.
37:03
Speaker 5: I also just don't think without those four any of
37:05
Speaker 5: them could be a runaway. I mean, they're just all
37:08
Speaker 5: so good. In any given season, one of them is
37:10
Speaker 5: going to have a slightly better statistical season than the
37:13
Speaker 5: other three. I mean, they should all be the top four,
37:17
Speaker 5: and it should be very close.
37:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. Headline's Next, Brad Evans Next. Sports Radio
