- 2:00Speaker 2: see what else is on the agenda. Never know where
- 2:01Speaker 2: the conversation with Danny's gonna take us, So that's coming
- 2:03Speaker 2: up here at one twenty this afternoon, and then our
- 2:07Speaker 2: guy Gary Parrish will join us today at two pm.
- 2:11Speaker 2: We are March Madness Eve and I didn't get this
- 2:14Speaker 2: in the headlines but I should. We will have the
- 2:16Speaker 2: selection show for you Sunday here on ninety three point
- 2:19Speaker 2: three KJRFM. So Selection show coming up on Sunday, so
- 2:23Speaker 2: make sure you tune in for that as well as
- 2:25Speaker 2: of course we have the games for you. Now here's
- 2:28Speaker 2: how it works. On Tuesday Wednesday playing games will be
- 2:33Speaker 2: on the nine to fifty am dial, and then starting
- 2:36Speaker 2: on Thursday, unless there's a conflict with the Kraken, we
- 2:39Speaker 2: will have games on basically nine am until they're done
- 2:45Speaker 2: about ten o'clock at night. And that's one of the
- 2:47Speaker 2: cool things about our radio station, which I've loved forever,
- 2:50Speaker 2: is the fact that we have all these games on,
- 2:52Speaker 2: so come on by, I mean listen. Not everyone gets
- 2:55Speaker 2: those two days off or whole week. Juman a day
- 2:59Speaker 2: I took my.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Vay when we already had two days off.
- 3:01Speaker 2: It's a smart move on your part because you only
- 3:03Speaker 2: end up taking three days. A veteran move on your part. Anyway,
- 3:07Speaker 2: we're even like like me, I I'll be driving around.
- 3:11Speaker 2: We have Cracking game on Thursday after noon Thursday, I
- 3:14Speaker 2: guess like five, So like you're in the car, you're
- 3:17Speaker 2: going to work, you need to keep up on your bracket.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Whatever you're doing, just make sure you tune into KJR
- 3:21Speaker 2: because one of the like I said, one of the
- 3:23Speaker 2: cool things is that we have those games on our station.
- 3:25Speaker 2: And Friday there's no cracking conflicts. Saturday Cracking game fairly early,
- 3:30Speaker 2: so we'll have early games, later games, and then Sunday
- 3:32Speaker 2: all day March madness in the round of thirty two
- 3:36Speaker 2: into the sweet sixteen lead eight and of course you're
- 3:38Speaker 2: home for the final four is right here in ninety
- 3:40Speaker 2: three point three KJFM. So yeah, we're excited. Man, it's
- 3:42Speaker 2: a great time of the year. Love the fact we
- 3:44Speaker 2: have this relationship with Westwood One and we have the
- 3:46Speaker 2: games for you so you can tune in as your
- 3:48Speaker 2: cruising out and about all around the area in case
- 3:52Speaker 2: you have to do a little bit of work on
- 3:53Speaker 2: those first two days of March madness. Okay, so we
- 3:56Speaker 2: got that going on. Cracking losing last night, We'll get
- 3:59Speaker 2: to some daily power at Lane Lambert sideways last night,
- 4:05Speaker 2: and I like it. I like a pissed off coach.
- 4:08Speaker 2: I don't think we ever saw that enough at all
- 4:10Speaker 2: from Dan Bilesman, and we probably saw it too much
- 4:13Speaker 2: from Dave Haxtall. And that's why the coaching change was made.
- 4:17Speaker 2: If people think that there's a coaching issue or anything
- 4:19Speaker 2: like that, that's not the case. This is a player issue,
- 4:22Speaker 2: and this is a gut check issue. And you'll hear
- 4:25Speaker 2: Lane basically say that coming up at one forty five.
- 4:27Speaker 2: I like accountability. I like a coach in pro sports
- 4:31Speaker 2: that calls guys out. There's a culture issue here, and
- 4:34Speaker 2: it probably starts with guys that have been here for
- 4:36Speaker 2: a long time, and and Lane went right after him
- 4:38Speaker 2: last night. They've got to win tomorrow. If they don't
- 4:41Speaker 2: win in Vancouver. I it's I mean, I think we're
- 4:44Speaker 2: I heard on the post game show last night with
- 4:46Speaker 2: Mikey and Anders they were talking about and they're taking
- 4:50Speaker 2: text and somebody use the term. I think this is
- 4:51Speaker 2: from a few good men. Just code red? Is the
- 4:54Speaker 2: code red?
- 4:54Speaker 4: Did you want?
- 4:56Speaker 2: Yeah? I think we're in a code red right now.
- 4:58Speaker 2: I think this is a code red. I think it's
- 5:00Speaker 2: like like if you go like through the warning signals,
- 5:02Speaker 2: you know, like with viruses and things like that, we're
- 5:05Speaker 2: in a red zone. This is this is a coderette.
- 5:07Speaker 2: So you gotta win to more night, absolutely for sure.
- 5:11Speaker 2: When Danny joins us in a second, we're gonna we're
- 5:13Speaker 2: gonna wrap up the week of free agency, and I'll
- 5:17Speaker 2: just start with this on my and I just kind
- 5:19Speaker 2: of jotted some things down today. It'll wanted to hit on.
- 5:24Speaker 2: I really the hardest thing in sports these days is
- 5:32Speaker 2: losing players that you're attached to and feeling like your
- 5:36Speaker 2: team is taking a step back.
- 5:37Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:38Speaker 3: You know what's funny.
- 5:39Speaker 6: I like to always like revisit this, but my conversation
- 5:43Speaker 6: with Ernest Jones in the locker room that you've just
- 5:46Speaker 6: won the Super Bowl and he was sad.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Yes, because you don't retain over. You don't retain one
- 5:51Speaker 2: hundred percent of what you have. And you know, it
- 5:55Speaker 2: used to be in college sports that you just rolled
- 5:58Speaker 2: guys over every year. It would it be like, you're
- 6:00Speaker 2: a freshman, you're gonna be back for three more years.
- 6:02Speaker 2: You're a sophomore, you've got two more years after this, junior, senior, etc.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Maybe red shirts you've got five years. Right. That isn't
- 6:07Speaker 2: the case anymore in college at all. It's one of
- 6:10Speaker 2: the things I kind of hate about college sports now.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And listen, not the time or placed to debate whether
- 6:15Speaker 2: or not players should have one hundred percent freedom and
- 6:17Speaker 2: free agency and all those types of things and all that.
- 6:21Speaker 2: But here's the thing with what we're looking at these days.
- 6:26Speaker 2: In pro sports, you're always going to have that attrition
- 6:29Speaker 2: because free agency does exist, a draft exists where you
- 6:33Speaker 2: bring in new players, you have a roster limit, so
- 6:35Speaker 2: you lose guys. Super Bowl teams, retention rates really challenging sometimes,
- 6:42Speaker 2: and we saw that obviously in twenty and thirteen, even
- 6:46Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen. Retention's hard. Players have success. Players are
- 6:51Speaker 2: valued higher because they played on that particular team. I
- 6:54Speaker 2: have reference it all the time, every backup player in
- 6:56Speaker 2: the Seahawks secondary for those Super Bowl teams ended up
- 6:59Speaker 2: getting paid it felt like somewhere else a lot of
- 7:01Speaker 2: money and probably frankly, more than they were worth. And
- 7:03Speaker 2: the Seahawks didn't keep those guys in the super Bowl
- 7:05Speaker 2: tax yeah, I use super Bowl taxs, and you lose
- 7:08Speaker 2: great depth along the way with when you lose those
- 7:10Speaker 2: types of guys. That's just part of that's part of
- 7:12Speaker 2: the price you pay to win the Super Bowl. That's fine,
- 7:15Speaker 2: that's part of it. But I think you know, when
- 7:19Speaker 2: Cormyn brought up the number of snaps that they retain,
- 7:21Speaker 2: you know, guys that had seven hundred more snaps, I
- 7:23Speaker 2: think as a stat of used yesterday. It's in his story,
- 7:24Speaker 2: you can go read it Animal City Spectrum. But they
- 7:28Speaker 2: retained more than a lot of Super Bowl teams do,
- 7:30Speaker 2: and they did a pretty good job. I for one
- 7:35Speaker 2: not thrilled that they don't have Ken Walker. And that
- 7:38Speaker 2: isn't a Johnny cum Lately. There's a lot of you
- 7:40Speaker 2: Johnny cum Lately ken Walker fans. There's a lot of
- 7:42Speaker 2: you guys out there. You look in the mirror, come on, now,
- 7:45Speaker 2: you know who you are. You were down on ken
- 7:47Speaker 2: Walker when when myself Rob rang No actually robs. Rob's
- 7:52Speaker 2: one of those guys. Rob's one of those anti ken
- 7:54Speaker 2: Walker guys. He loved him when Cosell and Hugh and
- 7:58Speaker 2: me and other I think anderws would go into that category,
- 8:02Speaker 2: probably because he have another fantasy team or something. Yeah, yeah,
- 8:05Speaker 2: but we all like ken Walker. I don't want to
- 8:08Speaker 2: lose ken Walker. Understand why they did. I understand the
- 8:13Speaker 2: trepidation that John Schneider has. I think we're a better
- 8:17Speaker 2: football team in Seattle with ken Walker's here, but it
- 8:19Speaker 2: probably was never gonna happen. They retain eleven or ten
- 8:24Speaker 2: of eleven starters on offense, it's pretty damn good, Like
- 8:27Speaker 2: that's really good with no and you're gonna extend JSN.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Rashid Shihat is kind of like adding half a player
- 8:33Speaker 2: because you only had him for half a season. He
- 8:35Speaker 2: just never really got acculated that offense, We're good. Uh,
- 8:38Speaker 2: you made decisions job over Woollen. Fine. I don't think
- 8:42Speaker 2: many people really have a hard hard time with that,
- 8:45Speaker 2: right because Wolan was kind of such a polarizing figure.
- 8:47Speaker 2: And then listen, Kobe Bryant's the other guy. I get
- 8:51Speaker 2: Tayo Katta, great story. Kobe Bryant's a better football player
- 8:55Speaker 2: period into story. Couldn't afford to keep him for whatever reason.
- 8:58Speaker 2: And we don't know. And I've always brought this up.
- 9:00Speaker 2: I'll get to a breaking or sex. Yes, sorry, we
- 9:02Speaker 2: don't know. We don't know what the budget constraints are
- 9:06Speaker 2: with a football team. Everyone knows the salary cap. Everybody
- 9:09Speaker 2: goes to spoke track or whatever the websites are. Here's
- 9:11Speaker 2: what they got to spend. That's fine, that's what they
- 9:13Speaker 2: have to spend. We don't know what the discussions they
- 9:16Speaker 2: have had with the agents for JS and Devin Witherspoon
- 9:19Speaker 2: or others, Sam Donald's agents, whoever might be. We don't
- 9:21Speaker 2: know what the true budget is. So I would just
- 9:24Speaker 2: caution people with that, we don't know what the behind
- 9:27Speaker 2: the scenes true money they have available is what they
- 9:31Speaker 2: have available in terms of X number of dollars under
- 9:33Speaker 2: the cap is not what they really have because they
- 9:36Speaker 2: know what they get they need this year, next year,
- 9:38Speaker 2: et cetera, whether it's draft trades, free agency, extending contracts,
- 9:43Speaker 2: et cetera. So I'm gonna do what I said earlier
- 9:45Speaker 2: this week. It's very very poor sports radio with my
- 9:48Speaker 2: apologies in John and in Mike, I trust, and I
- 9:53Speaker 2: think that would be my tail tomost. Everybody trust these guys.
- 9:57Speaker 2: They know what the hell they're doing. If they prove otherwise,
- 9:59Speaker 2: then have a different conversation. Dannie O'Neil joins us. Coming
- 10:02Speaker 2: up next.

- 11:33Speaker 2: Ian?
- 11:33Speaker 8: How about yourself?
- 11:34Speaker 2: I'm in a golf show. I'm at a golf show, Bud.
- 11:37Speaker 2: I'm in really good show. Like this is like I'm
- 11:39Speaker 2: an avid golfer. This is this is a good thing.
- 11:42Speaker 2: I'm all gay with it. I'm very very good with it.
- 11:44Speaker 2: So this is fine. I'm gonna go see my friends
- 11:45Speaker 2: at Callaway in a minute. I get two actually from
- 11:48Speaker 2: my golf tournament, which we announced last week, the Mayor
- 11:51Speaker 2: and Maple Valley Open, which is coming July tenth. We
- 11:53Speaker 2: have two big sponsors are here today. I believe True
- 11:56Speaker 2: Links golfwere out of Tacoma and Callaway. Those guys both
- 11:59Speaker 2: support me mightily, and we thanked them for all their support.
- 12:01Speaker 2: But we got a lot of things to talk to about. Danny.
- 12:04Speaker 2: We'll get to the WBC and Randy Calgate in a minute.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Nothing like a good nothing like some good clubhouse drama. Right,
- 12:12Speaker 2: let's start. So let's revisit Danny one week ago, shall we.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Our conversation that you and I had was pretty simple.
- 12:23Speaker 2: It was let's not panic. Let's not lose our minds
- 12:26Speaker 2: when things go wrong, when people get a lot, when
- 12:29Speaker 2: the Super Bowl MVP goes somewhere else, or Riek Wallan
- 12:32Speaker 2: or Kobe Bryant, Danny, no one heeded that advice. Are
- 12:37Speaker 2: you shocked?
- 12:39Speaker 8: I'm not.
- 12:40Speaker 9: I would like to throw in a little though, because
- 12:42Speaker 9: you get the additional People started talking about maybe Tyson
- 12:46Speaker 9: Alger the running back from from Atlanta, will he becoming here.
- 12:51Speaker 9: There was the uncertainty about Max Crosby, and then when
- 12:53Speaker 9: the trade got nuked by the Baltimore Ravens, oh, maybe
- 12:56Speaker 9: the Seahawks will jump in there. And I every time,
- 12:59Speaker 9: I just feel like wait in my arms and like, yeah,
- 13:01Speaker 9: the Seahawks don't do big moves, like they don't. They
- 13:04Speaker 9: don't do big moves. They're not gonna do big moves
- 13:06Speaker 9: in free agency. That's not their thing because it's natural
- 13:09Speaker 9: because everybody wants to have fun. It's free agency. Everybody's
- 13:13Speaker 9: the bad teams are making big moves. The Raiders are
- 13:16Speaker 9: out signing a center to the largest contract ever given
- 13:19Speaker 9: to an interior lineman. So you feel left out and
- 13:22Speaker 9: you're like, come on, do something, and it's like this
- 13:24Speaker 9: isn't that's that's not how they built this.
- 13:27Speaker 8: And actually you kind of don't want them to do
- 13:30Speaker 8: things because their.
- 13:31Speaker 9: Formula has been free agency is a fairly inefficient way
- 13:36Speaker 9: to build your team. You're better off retaining your best players,
- 13:41Speaker 9: identifying a couple of guys that you want to retain
- 13:43Speaker 9: in free agency.
- 13:44Speaker 8: And honestly, I'm I think it's.
- 13:46Speaker 9: A win, a huge win that they retained Rashid Shahik
- 13:49Speaker 9: because when free agency opened, I really the way things
- 13:53Speaker 9: had gone, I expected him to be out of here.
- 13:55Speaker 9: And they're they're competitive and keeping the guys that they
- 13:59Speaker 9: that they want to.
- 13:59Speaker 8: Keep, and they did that in this case with Josh
- 14:01Speaker 8: Joe and Rashid Shaheit.
- 14:03Speaker 2: I think that's the big thing, Danny, is it? Like,
- 14:05Speaker 2: listen and there's a promo. Just just does a great
- 14:09Speaker 2: job with promos, you know that. Good job, Jess. Thanks, Yes,
- 14:12Speaker 2: there's a promo running right now. And I just said, listen,
- 14:14Speaker 2: two things can be true, Like you can be sad, upset,
- 14:18Speaker 2: a little slightly uncomfortable, worried whatever that Ken Walker is gone,
- 14:22Speaker 2: and at the same time trust that John Schneider knows
- 14:25Speaker 2: what the hell he's doing right, Like those things all
- 14:27Speaker 2: can be true. You know, they sign Emmanuel Wilson yesterday.
- 14:30Speaker 2: He's probably just a guy, depth guy until scharbon A
- 14:34Speaker 2: comes back. Maybe he could be a guy that has
- 14:35Speaker 2: a hard time you making the roster. They've got some
- 14:37Speaker 2: guys on the practice squad, injury reserve, Ja Cardio Wright,
- 14:40Speaker 2: others that looked good last year.
- 14:42Speaker 9: You know.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Kenny McIntosh, I think you know, just talking to my
- 14:44Speaker 2: buddy Rob rang yesterday off the year. We're gonna start
- 14:47Speaker 2: robing two weeks from today because we've got March Madison
- 14:49Speaker 2: next week on kJ R on Friday. So, by the way, Danny,
- 14:51Speaker 2: we will talk to you in two weeks time. But
- 14:54Speaker 2: you know, talking to Robbie was like, you don't want
- 14:56Speaker 2: to draft running back necessarily list his name's Jermaine or
- 15:00Speaker 2: my love in the first round. But there's a lot
- 15:01Speaker 2: of other dudes, Like there's a lot the Washington kid
- 15:04Speaker 2: from Arkansas held Jonah Coleman from Washington's a lot of
- 15:06Speaker 2: the guys that you know, John Schneider has his eyes on,
- 15:10Speaker 2: and so like, I think we're far from because we're
- 15:14Speaker 2: far from a a completed product. B we're also far
- 15:18Speaker 2: from the start of the regular season as well, and
- 15:22Speaker 2: you know, we don't know how things are going to
- 15:23Speaker 2: shake out, but you know, it's March, Like it's March.
- 15:27Speaker 2: We're we're a long ways away from this thing being
- 15:28Speaker 2: on the field.
- 15:30Speaker 9: That's the one the way to remember it that it
- 15:34Speaker 9: is a long way from things being on the field.
- 15:36Speaker 8: And what you're.
- 15:37Speaker 9: Watching is all of the teams whose gms are trying
- 15:41Speaker 9: to impress their owners with how hard they're trying to win.
- 15:44Speaker 9: Like that's that's what free agency is largely about, is
- 15:48Speaker 9: about teams who's whose front offices or coaching stabs want
- 15:52Speaker 9: to show to the owner, Look, we went and did
- 15:55Speaker 9: everything we could to win it is not a particularly
- 15:58Speaker 9: efficient time to use your money.
- 16:01Speaker 8: And running back is a tricky, tricky position.
- 16:04Speaker 9: I I am one on the running backs don't matter
- 16:09Speaker 9: as much as we think they matter.
- 16:11Speaker 8: That that you're truly elite running back.
- 16:15Speaker 9: Yes, that guy's great if you have Adrian petersoner, you
- 16:17Speaker 9: have Marshawn Lynch. But running backs are so dependent on
- 16:21Speaker 9: the guys in front of them. And you're gonna have
- 16:24Speaker 9: a new offensive coordinator this year, and so I'm I'm
- 16:28Speaker 9: I'm reluctant to really hit a panic.
- 16:30Speaker 8: Button when I look at it.
- 16:32Speaker 9: If you ask me, is Kenneth Walker over his four
- 16:35Speaker 9: years in Seattle, was he the fourth best running back
- 16:38Speaker 9: in the league. My answer would be No, he's limited.
- 16:41Speaker 9: He doesn't block all that well. You have to take
- 16:42Speaker 9: him off the gill. He's not a great pass catcher. Yes,
- 16:45Speaker 9: he had the best two months of his career and
- 16:47Speaker 9: the most important part of this previous season December and
- 16:50Speaker 9: into the playoffs. But I don't think paying to match
- 16:54Speaker 9: what Kansas City gave him, I don't. I don't Given
- 16:58Speaker 9: all the other people you're gonna need to sign, I
- 17:00Speaker 9: think it was the right decision by Seattle.
- 17:02Speaker 8: So I'm I'm.
- 17:03Speaker 10: Content to say, Okay, well we'll see what they do.
- 17:06Speaker 9: They know they know they're missing their lead running back,
- 17:09Speaker 9: and they know that Zach Starbnet is coming off a
- 17:11Speaker 9: pretty serious knee injury, though kind of sounded like it
- 17:14Speaker 9: maybe wasn't.
- 17:15Speaker 8: As serious as they feared. What afprehander went the surgery,
- 17:18Speaker 8: but there's no guarantee about what he's going to be like.
- 17:20Speaker 8: But they've still got some time to put this together.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Yeah, Danie O'Neil joining us again. Brought to you by
- 17:25Speaker 2: our friends at Northwest Handling System. Big thanks to Eric Gordon,
- 17:27Speaker 2: our friends at Northwest Hanling System for bringing us Daniel

- 17:48Speaker 2: at the golf show. Uh, those guys should be using,
- 17:50Speaker 2: should be utilizing now what they've got their Northwest Handling
- 17:52Speaker 2: System to get stuff in and out of this place
- 17:54Speaker 2: because there's a zillion vendors and golf courses and manufacturers here. Danny,
- 17:59Speaker 2: I I think the perspective, and listen, I'm gonna I
- 18:01Speaker 2: don't want to be a hypocrite. I would rather have
- 18:03Speaker 2: ken Walker. I would much rather have ken Walker. I
- 18:06Speaker 2: don't like not having ken Walker. I don't. I've said
- 18:09Speaker 2: all year at ken Walker's better than Zach Sharp, and
- 18:10Speaker 2: I'm not gonna change my mind now. But the bigger
- 18:13Speaker 2: issue is, remember back in the days of college football,
- 18:17Speaker 2: when it was like really college football, Danny and what
- 18:19Speaker 2: we would what would we do in August in July
- 18:21Speaker 2: when the Aflons magazine would come out, He'd look in
- 18:24Speaker 2: the say returning starters, Okay, and you get that pack,
- 18:27Speaker 2: that first Pac twelve and Pac ten media pack at
- 18:30Speaker 2: Danny at the start of the year, and it would
- 18:32Speaker 2: have listed in there, you know, all schools and returning
- 18:35Speaker 2: starters on offense, defense in total, and you go, man,
- 18:37Speaker 2: if I'm in the seventeen eighteen range, we're gonna have
- 18:40Speaker 2: a good season, right because you could build guys up
- 18:42Speaker 2: and all those things. Now, now you sit there and
- 18:45Speaker 2: you look at it, and I'm like, Okay, well, let's
- 18:47Speaker 2: let's look at that thing. No longer do you have
- 18:49Speaker 2: Do you have that like in college football, but in
- 18:53Speaker 2: the NFL you can have that. The Super Bowl Champions
- 18:55Speaker 2: Danny returned ten of eleven starters on offense and and
- 19:00Speaker 2: eight of eleven or so, depending on how you want
- 19:02Speaker 2: to do the numbers on defense. And my buddy Cormyn
- 19:04Speaker 2: Smith pointed out yesterday of the guys that played seven
- 19:07Speaker 2: hundred more staffs last season, I think it's I think
- 19:09Speaker 2: it's nineteen total is what they returned. That's pretty good.
- 19:13Speaker 2: That's pretty good, pretty good attention rate for a Super
- 19:15Speaker 2: Bowl team.
- 19:16Speaker 8: It's a huge chunk of it.
- 19:18Speaker 9: And even look, I think Kobe Bryant had a great
- 19:20Speaker 9: year for the Seahawks. I also think that there's a
- 19:23Speaker 9: chance he's the number three safety on their roster because
- 19:25Speaker 9: I would put Emon Worry certainly ahead of him in
- 19:28Speaker 9: what you'll get from the future, and maybe Kobe Bryant
- 19:30Speaker 9: passes Jordan Love who's a little bit older. Boye Mafe
- 19:33Speaker 9: was an important he was a good piece.
- 19:35Speaker 8: But you know who Boye.
- 19:36Speaker 9: Mafe was, and his stats universally and the pate the
- 19:40Speaker 9: contract he got, He's exactly what Graymont Jones, the guy
- 19:44Speaker 9: that they signed a couple of years ago from from
- 19:47Speaker 9: Denver who ended up being a disappointment. That's his that's
- 19:51Speaker 9: what his profile is as someone who is a part
- 19:53Speaker 9: time starter, had twenty facts boy a mafe did.
- 19:56Speaker 8: Jones had twenty.
- 19:57Speaker 9: One, and that when when a pass rusher like that
- 20:01Speaker 9: gets to free agency, they cast it big. I don't
- 20:04Speaker 9: think Seattle was best off by matching.
- 20:07Speaker 5: What that is.
- 20:08Speaker 9: They bring back the bulk of their experience, and when
- 20:11Speaker 9: you look at the shape of their salar cap going forward,
- 20:14Speaker 9: it's actually been very very good shape. They haven't leveraged
- 20:17Speaker 9: themselves to get to this point, and they could have
- 20:20Speaker 9: afforded to bring everybody back, but it would have ended up.
- 20:24Speaker 8: Costing them down the road players. And they still retain
- 20:27Speaker 8: that flexibility. And I think their roster.
- 20:30Speaker 9: Their roster, it's not as good as it was when
- 20:33Speaker 9: free agency began, but I think by the time the
- 20:35Speaker 9: season begins, there's a very good chance that you'll look
- 20:38Speaker 9: at it and feel like it's a better roster.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Yeah, and again and John, I trust I'd rather have
- 20:43Speaker 2: Ken Walker. I'd like to have Riquel and Josh Job
- 20:45Speaker 2: that wasn't going to happen. I'd like to have Tyle
- 20:47Speaker 2: Cotta and Kobe Bryant that wasn't going to happen. The
- 20:49Speaker 2: cost of winning a Super Bowl, as we all know,
- 20:51Speaker 2: is quite large. Daniel and Neil joining us again courtesy
- 20:54Speaker 2: of our friends at Northwes Handling System Speak thanks to
- 20:55Speaker 2: Eric Gordon and Company DBHS dot com. I'm at the
- 20:58Speaker 2: Seattle Golf Show in p all Apallall fakes Danny down
- 21:01Speaker 2: here at the fairgrounds. You know, the only disappointing thing,
- 21:03Speaker 2: although I think there's a concession stand on the fire side.
- 21:06Speaker 2: I gotta go check it out. Did you ever have
- 21:08Speaker 2: the Fisher scones when you lived here?
- 21:10Speaker 8: Oh? Yeah, man. One of the things that.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I love about.
- 21:13Speaker 10: Occasionally Bartel's would sell the Fisher scones mixed lrip Bartel's Drugs,
- 21:20Speaker 10: which are one of my favorite places, being.
- 21:24Speaker 8: Able to get the scone.
- 21:26Speaker 9: I love the stones from the fair so much that
- 21:28Speaker 9: I would buy the scone mixed from Bartel's and make.
- 21:31Speaker 8: Them a home.
- 21:32Speaker 2: People know the scones. You walk into the fair grounds
- 21:35Speaker 2: here and there's a scone food truck or like food stand,
- 21:39Speaker 2: but it's outside and it's half snowing right now, so
- 21:41Speaker 2: it's not open, but there may be one inside, and
- 21:43Speaker 2: I gotta go see. Every now and then, that's every
- 21:46Speaker 2: now and then that Scone food truck will show up
- 21:48Speaker 2: at my local fred Meer and Maple Valley, no warning,
- 21:51Speaker 2: no warning whatsoever. I'll see something later. Oh yeah, did
- 21:54Speaker 2: you already get the scones today? It was it like, no,
- 21:56Speaker 2: I wasn't going to the store today. You dipsticks, tell
- 21:57Speaker 2: me when it's gonna be there, or you go buy
- 21:59Speaker 2: the There's like gazillion people on that Jess. Have you
- 22:01Speaker 2: ever had the scones from Fisher?
- 22:03Speaker 6: I've heard of their lore, but I think that they're
- 22:05Speaker 6: doing their gorilla marketing by not being around all the time.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Is wonderful because they sought after I.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Also worked for Fisher for off and on college and
- 22:14Speaker 2: then after college for nine years when they own Como TV,
- 22:17Speaker 2: and I don't think I had a Scone more than once.
- 22:18Speaker 2: They never brought him into their news station, which is
- 22:20Speaker 2: just really come on, I know. Anyway, I digress, Danny,
- 22:25Speaker 2: how concerned are we? Randy doesn't like cal Cal doesn't
- 22:29Speaker 2: like Randy. We've got acrimony in the Mariner's Clubhouse. What
- 22:32Speaker 2: are we going to do well?
- 22:34Speaker 9: I would like to first acknowledge that some of my
- 22:37Speaker 9: very favorite baseball teams were chock.
- 22:40Speaker 8: Full of guys that didn't like each other.
- 22:44Speaker 9: So and I'm not saying that it's to this level
- 22:47Speaker 9: in the Mariner's clubhouse.
- 22:48Speaker 8: We honestly don't know.
- 22:49Speaker 9: It appears that Randy was kind of peeved that Cal
- 22:52Speaker 9: wouldn't shake his hand, Like I think, I think we're
- 22:54Speaker 9: safe on saying that we don't know how mad he
- 22:56Speaker 9: is or how.
- 22:57Speaker 8: Much that will linker.
- 22:58Speaker 9: And really this might be a kind of grumpy a
- 23:02Speaker 9: Mican baseball player versus sort of the.
- 23:06Speaker 8: Latin players being a little more laid back when it
- 23:09Speaker 8: comes to the competition, Like.
- 23:10Speaker 10: There might be a little this might be cultural tension
- 23:14Speaker 10: playing out sort of in the.
- 23:16Speaker 8: Mariners clubhouse a little bit.
- 23:18Speaker 11: But I if they are raging, if Randy is furious
- 23:24Speaker 11: with Cal, I'm still not sure how worried I am
- 23:27Speaker 11: about it, because.
- 23:29Speaker 9: In the history of baseball, loving all of your teammates
- 23:32Speaker 9: has never been a prerequisite for success.
- 23:35Speaker 8: Like you never needed to have it. And if anybody
- 23:37Speaker 8: doubts me, there's a.
- 23:38Speaker 9: Video on YouTube that Jeff Perlman put together about the
- 23:41Speaker 9: nineteen eighty four San Diego Padres, and it's it's long,
- 23:45Speaker 9: it's like twenty five minutes, but it is an explanation
- 23:49Speaker 9: of how twenty five guys who had a number of
- 23:53Speaker 9: like intra ross or conflicts came together because they had
- 23:57Speaker 9: some epic fight with.
- 23:58Speaker 8: The Atlanta Braves. I'm going to the world period.
- 24:01Speaker 5: So if you.
- 24:02Speaker 9: Need evidence that, hey, this isn't even if they are mad,
- 24:06Speaker 9: it might not be that big a deal like that.
- 24:09Speaker 9: I just you don't have to love everybody to play with.
- 24:12Speaker 8: And some people might argue that it's kind of good.
- 24:14Speaker 2: If I think, first of all, I think it's Canada
- 24:19Speaker 2: US today.
- 24:21Speaker 8: Yes here.
- 24:21Speaker 2: The funny thing is a year like last last fall,
- 24:24Speaker 2: we might I think you and I even talked about this.
- 24:27Speaker 2: One of the things I loved about Josh Naylor in
- 24:30Speaker 2: with baseball is just a game of grab ass. It
- 24:32Speaker 2: really is. That's what it is. And you know the
- 24:34Speaker 2: clubhouse high jinks, and you know a slump buster here
- 24:37Speaker 2: and all the stuff that they do right, all those things,
- 24:40Speaker 2: and remember last year when people it might have been
- 24:43Speaker 2: Divish was taking a sabbatical Divish or Jude somebody did
- 24:46Speaker 2: the story on Josh Naylor's and his whole persona at
- 24:51Speaker 2: first base. And if you've ever known like Josh Naylor
- 24:54Speaker 2: is the one first basement in baseball. He doesn't talk
- 24:56Speaker 2: to dudes. They get on base and he just ignores
- 24:58Speaker 2: them like he's like, no, I don't I'm playing to win, dude,
- 25:02Speaker 2: like I don't like you, and and away you go.
- 25:05Speaker 2: And we also, first of all, I Josh David was
- 25:07Speaker 2: my one of my favorite Mariners not named Felix Frenandez ever,
- 25:09Speaker 2: because I like a He's Canadian and be he does
- 25:12Speaker 2: that like he's like screw you. Well, like that's fine,
- 25:16Speaker 2: Like Nick, here's what I want just for pure entertainment.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Because Naylor's not the guy's gonna go up and dapt
- 25:22Speaker 2: the catcher. Ever, I think he needs to do it
- 25:25Speaker 2: today or and just test cal and just test him.
- 25:34Speaker 9: I also, I wouldn't mind if if Naylor went out
- 25:37Speaker 9: there extended the hand and then perhaps cal Rechis.
- 25:39Speaker 8: Tore him, not trying to create another incident.
- 25:42Speaker 9: Naylor withdraws it back and makes a whole production.
- 25:44Speaker 8: Bet I'm generally with you.
- 25:47Speaker 9: I think that players have a variety of ways that
- 25:51Speaker 9: they motivate themselves. Yeah, and any player who has gotten
- 25:55Speaker 9: to the level that Randy or Rosarina and Cal Rawley
- 25:58Speaker 9: and Josh Naylor like they'd gotten there because they've been
- 26:01Speaker 9: consistent with their approach. We saw a five part documentary
- 26:06Speaker 9: about Michael Jordan, and generally he's kind of a jerk,
- 26:11Speaker 9: like the way he competed against people, but he was
- 26:14Speaker 9: a consistent jerk. And not everybody's gonna like it, and
- 26:19Speaker 9: there are gonna be ruffle feathers. And if Randya rose
- 26:21Speaker 9: Arena is someone who doesn't like playing that way, likes
- 26:24Speaker 9: to be more fun loving and it annoys him when
- 26:27Speaker 9: somebody is overly serious, I'm okay with him being annoyed
- 26:30Speaker 9: by that. Like you give room for people to be themselves.
- 26:35Speaker 9: And I would say one of the great one of
- 26:37Speaker 9: the great things looking back to the Seahawks that lead
- 26:40Speaker 9: those legion of boom teams was.
- 26:42Speaker 8: That there was a fair amount of friction with it.
- 26:45Speaker 10: They had a fight in their locker room before the
- 26:48Speaker 10: Super Bowl, and they went out and smoked the Denver Broncos.
- 26:52Speaker 9: So I just think that we want them all to
- 26:55Speaker 9: be friends, Like that's part of how we as fans
- 26:59Speaker 9: can sexualize a team that's not actually how clubhouses.
- 27:04Speaker 8: And locker rooms are and I'm totally okay with that.
- 27:07Speaker 8: I actually think that that's part of what makes sports
- 27:10Speaker 8: really fun.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I am one hundred percent with you on that. It's
- 27:13Speaker 2: it's exactly what it is. And yeah, you're right. It's
- 27:17Speaker 2: so funny because we weren't really concerned when Richard Sherman
- 27:21Speaker 2: is just undressing the quarterback in practices during the heyday
- 27:26Speaker 2: of the Seahawks, when he and just those guys are
- 27:29Speaker 2: just killing Russ as much as they could and listen,
- 27:31Speaker 2: we all can think what we want about Russ. But like,
- 27:33Speaker 2: that ain't happened in New England with Tom Brady, right,
- 27:36Speaker 2: Like that's not happening in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes.
- 27:39Speaker 2: But guess what it worked. They went to back to
- 27:41Speaker 2: back Super Bowls. We didn't care if those guys were yelling,
- 27:43Speaker 2: it's baseball, supposed people are all supposed to beat. I
- 27:45Speaker 2: think you're right. There's different levels of mad. I'll give
- 27:48Speaker 2: you an example, like I rarely get mad at Jess,
- 27:51Speaker 2: Like I don't do that. Would why would you ever
- 27:52Speaker 2: get mad at Jess?
- 27:53Speaker 3: Right?
- 27:54Speaker 2: Would?
- 27:54Speaker 3: I mean, I make it impossible.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Although there's times like yesterday Danny for example, I took
- 27:58Speaker 2: her to lunch and she had went to the Queen
- 28:00Speaker 2: Anne Beer Hall and she had the phenomenal shrimp skewer things. Right, Yes,
- 28:04Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been like it would have been okay
- 28:06Speaker 2: if Jess would have said, Ian, you want one of
- 28:08Speaker 2: these shrimps, like that would have been cool.
- 28:10Speaker 3: I did not offer.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Yeah, like that would have been. That would have been
- 28:14Speaker 2: But then.
- 28:14Speaker 3: I would have had to have a bite of your
- 28:16Speaker 3: mac and cheese.
- 28:16Speaker 6: And that's what I almost took my fork and went
- 28:20Speaker 6: over because I'm sorry dating with my husband, but I was.
- 28:23Speaker 2: But I was again, like my level of anger at
- 28:26Speaker 2: Jess was, you know, was like a two, you know,
- 28:28Speaker 2: maybe a three. But that's you know, so who knows
- 28:31Speaker 2: what the level of anger is for that regard, right, Uh,
- 28:35Speaker 2: we're off, go ahead.
- 28:37Speaker 10: Really you didn't shake my hands, So I'm mad at well.
- 28:44Speaker 3: But I still think it's a joke.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I don't think it's a joke. In the heat of
- 28:48Speaker 2: the day, I don't think I don't think it's a joke.
- 28:50Speaker 2: In the heat of the moment, I don't think it's
- 28:51Speaker 2: But I also don't think it's a huge deal because
- 28:53Speaker 2: what it wo just Danny is what you just said,
- 28:55Speaker 2: like you're gonna have. First of all, you have the
- 28:58Speaker 2: best athletes in the world. They didn't get there because
- 29:00Speaker 2: they're not competitive. They didn't get there because they're not
- 29:03Speaker 2: type A. They didn't get there because they aren't you know,
- 29:05Speaker 2: because they're now. I mean, some guys can coast through,
- 29:07Speaker 2: but those guys are there because of how they are
- 29:11Speaker 2: day to day and you're coming up and all those things.
- 29:13Speaker 2: That's those guys are on a different level than us
- 29:16Speaker 2: at this At the same time, like, I think part
- 29:19Speaker 2: of it is that Daniel, I'll go back the Mariners
- 29:23Speaker 2: marketing campaigns of all those years, what's the one that
- 29:25Speaker 2: we all stand out? You gotta love these guys, right,
- 29:28Speaker 2: You gotta love these guys, right, and they've they've because
- 29:31Speaker 2: when they were awful, which was most of the years
- 29:33Speaker 2: until recently, they okay, what can we hang our hat on. Oh,
- 29:37Speaker 2: these guys are likable. We like all of them. They
- 29:39Speaker 2: like each other, and we like them. Right, they might
- 29:41Speaker 2: be awful now. The funny thing is because you were
- 29:44Speaker 2: in this clubhouse. There were a couple clubhouses the eight
- 29:48Speaker 2: nine ten era, right with the Richie sections of the
- 29:50Speaker 2: world Sean figures, Richie sex and Casey Kotchman. I mean,
- 29:56Speaker 2: there was some absolutely awful dudes like just bad. Hey,
- 30:01Speaker 2: you know what, Willie bloom Quist, you have to you're
- 30:03Speaker 2: the only guy in the clubhouse to answer media questions
- 30:05Speaker 2: after every game. I know you only played one inning
- 30:08Speaker 2: or you pinch roum, but you're gonna be the only
- 30:09Speaker 2: guy because the rest of them are just absolute pukes,
- 30:11Speaker 2: like they're not always gonna be nice. But they built
- 30:13Speaker 2: this reputation. I think people in Seattle like, well, they're
- 30:15Speaker 2: supposed to all like each other, and they were a
- 30:17Speaker 2: likable team last year. They're a fun, likable team and
- 30:20Speaker 2: and so that's why people get upset. We got March
- 30:22Speaker 2: Maddis next week, buddy, so we're gonna Are you are
- 30:25Speaker 2: you doing? Do you? Are you a bracket guy?
- 30:27Speaker 8: I'm absolutely a bracket guy.
- 30:29Speaker 9: I am usually I go to the tournament guy, but
- 30:31Speaker 9: I don't think I'm going this year. I think I've
- 30:34Speaker 9: I've had to cancel to to head out and visit
- 30:36Speaker 9: my family.
- 30:36Speaker 8: But I love the tournament.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Are you are you in the gas Man Memorial Tournament?
- 30:40Speaker 2: Although gas is still with us, By the way.
- 30:44Speaker 9: I'm actually the bracket I do is there's there's two
- 30:48Speaker 9: groups that I do.
- 30:48Speaker 8: One is with a bunch of my dad's high school friends.
- 30:51Speaker 9: Yeah, and then another one with a group of my
- 30:53Speaker 9: high school friends or brackets.
- 30:54Speaker 2: I love it. They're two bracket guys, same bracket though.
- 30:58Speaker 9: Same bracket and both I'm not enough to keep track
- 31:01Speaker 9: of multiple brackets.
- 31:02Speaker 2: I'm the same way. I'm just you know, if you
- 31:04Speaker 2: if you do well, you do well. If you don't,
- 31:05Speaker 2: that's that's a new problem. That's as simple as that. Like,
- 31:07Speaker 2: that's just that's fine. Yeah, we're I can't wait bracket.

- 32:27Speaker 8: Where do you want?
- 32:32Speaker 1: This is the Daily power Play on your voting for

- 33:06Speaker 2: are you doing? Let's going on? I see we're there.
- 33:10Speaker 2: We're hanging out the Sale golf show right here at
- 33:11Speaker 2: the nineteenth hole. A lot of people coming by, which
- 33:13Speaker 2: is really cool. Fun to see.
- 33:14Speaker 12: Uh.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Daily Power played brought to you by our good friends
- 33:16Speaker 2: of Isquahana Cracking last night, just a listen. Great team
- 33:21Speaker 2: they played, but kind of unacceptable two and four home stand.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Four straight losses to end the home stand two and
- 33:30Speaker 2: six since the Olympic break. Post game last night, Lane
- 33:33Speaker 2: Lambert not happy. Do you think it was a case
- 33:37Speaker 2: of showing them too much for this fact?
- 33:39Speaker 13: I do, Yeah, I do.
- 33:42Speaker 2: And my biggest issue.
- 33:44Speaker 13: With the first period is the wills they scored are
- 33:47Speaker 13: just systematical breakdowns that you know, we've played over sixty
- 33:51Speaker 13: games this year. We need to have poison composure. We're
- 33:57Speaker 13: doing thingsolutely mind boggling to me.
- 34:02Speaker 2: It's gotta stop because we need to wake up. I mean,
- 34:05Speaker 2: what do you think it takes at this point to
- 34:08Speaker 2: they're going to playoff race? I mean, how is it
- 34:11Speaker 2: possible if they're not ready to go? Yeah, exactly.
- 34:16Speaker 13: Is a great question, you know, and like I, like
- 34:19Speaker 13: I said, probably showing them too much respect. I don't
- 34:23Speaker 13: necessarily know that it was a thing where og we're
- 34:25Speaker 13: not completely ready to go, showing them too much respect.
- 34:29Speaker 13: But you know they start rolling around on our zone.
- 34:31Speaker 13: We have a system in a structure and we just
- 34:33Speaker 13: completely throw it in the throw it down the drain
- 34:37Speaker 13: and they're just making plays.
- 34:39Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, mind boggling ridiculous. I love it to get
- 34:45Speaker 2: him lame. He's fed up, and I don't blame him.
- 34:47Speaker 2: I think I ever been watching it right now is
- 34:49Speaker 2: a little fed up too. They get another chance to

- 35:01Speaker 2: You've got to get four points the next two games.
- 35:02Speaker 2: Simple as that. I know I've been saying that for
- 35:04Speaker 2: a while, but simple as that. It's pro sports. Time
- 35:07Speaker 2: to pick up it, pick it up. A little bit

- 38:51Speaker 2: to the golf show. Coming up at two thirty. My
- 38:54Speaker 2: buddy Bags from Calloway is gonna stop by. We'll tell
- 38:56Speaker 2: you why it's important to come down and get fitted
- 38:58Speaker 2: by them or somebody else's well, that's coming up at
- 39:00Speaker 2: a minute. Gary Parrish joins us. Hello, sir, how are you?
- 39:04Speaker 5: I'm wonderful. How are you on this Friday before selecting Sunday?
- 39:07Speaker 2: Oh? You know, you know if Well, first of all,
- 39:09Speaker 2: I'm in a golf show. So like there's every manufacturer imaginable,
- 39:13Speaker 2: every golf resort in the Pacific Northwest is here. I
- 39:18Speaker 2: just talked to the guy from Orange Whip, you know,
- 39:19Speaker 2: the heavy orange ball that you can warm up with
- 39:22Speaker 2: when you get old like me, Gary, So like I'm
- 39:25Speaker 2: I've got kind of sensory overload. Right now, I'm that guy.
- 39:28Speaker 2: I'm kind of losing my mind because I just want
- 39:30Speaker 2: to go hit golf balls. But and I know you play,
- 39:32Speaker 2: so you can you can relate to where I'm at
- 39:34Speaker 2: right now.
- 39:35Speaker 5: Oh listen, I would be in heaven if I were
- 39:37Speaker 5: with you right now. I like the It is the
- 39:40Speaker 5: one thing golf that I do with my free time
- 39:44Speaker 5: that I enjoy more than anything else, whether I'm with
- 39:47Speaker 5: my friends or my sons. It's the thing I like
- 39:50Speaker 5: least about the college basketball season because it makes it
- 39:54Speaker 5: very difficult to get out on the course as often
- 39:56Speaker 5: as I would like. But trust me, just as soon
- 39:58Speaker 5: as that national championship game is done me any afternoon,
- 40:01Speaker 5: that's probably where I'm gonna be.
- 40:02Speaker 2: I love that, And I can relate because about the
- 40:05Speaker 2: time the national championship game ends, unless our hockey team
- 40:09Speaker 2: gets his act together and gets into the postseason, I'm
- 40:11Speaker 2: two weeks away from hockey season being over, which is
- 40:13Speaker 2: my college basketball to year. You know that's a comparison,
- 40:16Speaker 2: and I'm the same way. And I can tell you
- 40:19Speaker 2: this playing with my buddies on a Wednesday night league
- 40:21Speaker 2: or playing with my son's twenty three now, and he
- 40:23Speaker 2: is an avid golfer, and outside the fact that I
- 40:26Speaker 2: feel small and weak when I play with him, it's
- 40:29Speaker 2: the best thing in the world. It's absolutely the best
- 40:32Speaker 2: thing in the world.
- 40:32Speaker 6: Man.
- 40:32Speaker 2: I just I love it. So I can relate to
- 40:34Speaker 2: playing with your sons. That's that's cool, man. Gary Pete Carroll,
- 40:39Speaker 2: our former coach here in Seattle, won a Super Bowl,
- 40:41Speaker 2: went to another one, and then we won't talk about
- 40:42Speaker 2: his tenure with the Raiders. He had a term on
- 40:45Speaker 2: Fridays and he would get to Friday and he looked
- 40:47Speaker 2: at his team and he goes, you know where this is?
- 40:49Speaker 2: What day is this? It's the day before the day before, Gary,
- 40:53Speaker 2: It's the day before the day before selection Sunday. Here
- 40:57Speaker 2: we go, buddy. This is a great time of the year,
- 40:58Speaker 2: isn't it?
- 41:00Speaker 5: He said, A great time of the year. I don't
- 41:01Speaker 5: know if you've been following along on Twitter, but I
- 41:03Speaker 5: had a hell of a week. I ended up in Richmond, Virginia.
- 41:05Speaker 2: What for two?
- 41:08Speaker 5: I honestly don't. I don't have a great grasp for
- 41:10Speaker 5: what happened. Except when you take a direct flight from
- 41:13Speaker 5: Memphis to New York City, it's supposed to go to
- 41:15Speaker 5: New York City. I woke up in Richmond. I fell
- 41:18Speaker 5: asleep on the planes like I needed to crash. Crashed hard,
- 41:22Speaker 5: and apparently we circled New York City for like an hour,
- 41:26Speaker 5: couldn't find a window to land because of weather. Also,
- 41:28Speaker 5: I think there's an air traffic controller problem. So we
- 41:31Speaker 5: went to Richmond, and then I was just in Richmond
- 41:33Speaker 5: for two days for no reason. I finally got the
- 41:35Speaker 5: New York late last night, but had to miss yesterday's
- 41:38Speaker 5: studio stuff. I just was not here. So it's been
- 41:41Speaker 5: a wild week, but I've settled in now, and yeah,
- 41:43Speaker 5: this is the absolute best time of the year. These
- 41:45Speaker 5: conference tournaments have been fun. And then on Sunday we'll
- 41:48Speaker 5: get a bracket and Miami Ohio will definitely be in it,
- 41:51Speaker 5: and Auburn should not. I assume we'd get there at
- 41:54Speaker 5: some point. Let's go ahead and kill that one. Miami
- 41:56Speaker 5: Ohio is going to be in this bracket and Auburn
- 41:58Speaker 5: probably is not.
- 42:00Speaker 9: Well.
- 42:00Speaker 2: First of all, I got home from a really not
- 42:03Speaker 2: the most fun hockey game I've had to do a
- 42:05Speaker 2: broadcast for in a long time. After the Avalanche destroyed
- 42:08Speaker 2: the Kraken for a four straight loss and I'm like, okay, well,
- 42:11Speaker 2: you know wh I'm gonna get home. I'm gonna flop
- 42:12Speaker 2: on the TV and I know about eleven thirty Pacific
- 42:15Speaker 2: time two thirty Eastern, I'll have a replay of Inside
- 42:17Speaker 2: College Basketball. My guy Gary Parrish will be on there.
- 42:19Speaker 2: And I can listen to Gary Parrish. I can see
- 42:21Speaker 2: what he's got to say about all those things you
- 42:22Speaker 2: just mentioned and you weren't there. Now I can connect
- 42:25Speaker 2: the dots and figure out why you weren't there. I
- 42:27Speaker 2: knew you were in Richmond. I figured that, you know,
- 42:29Speaker 2: you were just they rotate guys through that show. But
- 42:31Speaker 2: now I feel a little bit better because my guy
- 42:33Speaker 2: Gary needs to be on that show, especially coming up.
- 42:35Speaker 2: By the way, on Sunday, you guys do like three hours,
- 42:37Speaker 2: like for us on the Pacific time zone, it's four
- 42:39Speaker 2: to seven pm. I think you fo three hours after
- 42:42Speaker 2: the selection day.
- 42:43Speaker 5: Yeah, that's always a fun show because we're reacting in
- 42:47Speaker 5: real time to a bracket that was just released. You know,
- 42:50Speaker 5: a lot of the stuff we do. You know, working
- 42:52Speaker 5: in this industry, you plan for it, you prep for it.
- 42:55Speaker 5: You're prepared to say what you're about to say hours ago,
- 43:00Speaker 5: because you know what you're talking about hours ago. This
- 43:03Speaker 5: is everything's fresh and everything's new, and we do the
- 43:06Speaker 5: three hour television show and then pop right back to
- 43:08Speaker 5: the hotel and jump on the Iron College Basketball podcast
- 43:10Speaker 5: and do it about another ninety minutes or two hours there.
- 43:13Speaker 5: So yeah, they can make for some long nights, but
- 43:15Speaker 5: it's it's it's fun times, man. This is this is
- 43:17Speaker 5: the good stuff.
- 43:18Speaker 2: All right. Well, let's get to the two things a
- 43:19Speaker 2: little deeper, because I think those are you know, for
- 43:21Speaker 2: us out here as people get ready to do brackets
- 43:24Speaker 2: and they kind of this is the time of the year.
- 43:25Speaker 2: We always joke about it. Big. First of all, big
- 43:27Speaker 2: thanks for our friends at No. Why Brewing. But people
- 43:29Speaker 2: kind of start tuning in, they get ready, brackets coming out.
- 43:31Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna bracket, you know what They're They're doing survivor pools,
- 43:35Speaker 2: they're doing all the fun stuff that this arounds March madness.
- 43:38Speaker 2: The Miami story this year, Miami, Ohio has been an
- 43:41Speaker 2: incredible story all season long. Last Friday, they get a
- 43:44Speaker 2: win on the road and we kind of feel like, Okay,
- 43:48Speaker 2: they're in. I think you and I talked about that
- 43:49Speaker 2: last Friday. They got that win. Last week they would
- 43:51Speaker 2: be in. I was actually watching that at our shout
- 43:53Speaker 2: out to one of our sponsors for allies. We watched
- 43:55Speaker 2: the last five minutes and then overtime of that game, like, Okay,
- 43:58Speaker 2: they're in. I'm loving it. I'm happy for Miamile like
- 44:00Speaker 2: the little guy. And then they lose the first round
- 44:02Speaker 2: of the conference tournament and there is some consternation amongst
- 44:06Speaker 2: some but Gary Parrish, Matt nor Leander, I listen a
- 44:10Speaker 2: little bit of the podcast today. You guys are confident
- 44:12Speaker 2: Miami is in. Now. They may have a playing game, right,
- 44:15Speaker 2: but they are in.
- 44:17Speaker 5: They could be sent to Daton and be in that
- 44:19Speaker 5: first floor. And if they are, I know some people
- 44:21Speaker 5: will think that's wrong, unfair, whatever. I don't think that
- 44:26Speaker 5: that'll be the place where I stand up and make
- 44:27Speaker 5: a point, because the truth is, you know, the computer
- 44:31Speaker 5: numbers are lacking in most places. You know, in the net,
- 44:34Speaker 5: they are nowhere near where you typically need to be
- 44:37Speaker 5: to be an at large candidate. At kim POM, they
- 44:39Speaker 5: are nowhere near where you typically have to be to
- 44:42Speaker 5: be an at large candidate. But they do have a
- 44:44Speaker 5: strength of record of twenty eight and that will be
- 44:46Speaker 5: what the committee uses to put them in. Yes, Nordland
- 44:50Speaker 5: and I both agree on this that they'll be in.
- 44:53Speaker 5: I would put it at one hundred percent. And here's why.
- 44:55Speaker 5: First off, no team with just one loss has ever
- 44:59Speaker 5: been left out of the INCID tournament. No team that
- 45:00Speaker 5: went undefeated in the regular season has ever been left
- 45:03Speaker 5: out of the NCAA tournament. As you know once he
- 45:06Speaker 5: went to sixty four or sixty eight. And here's the
- 45:08Speaker 5: other thing that I keep emphasizing that I haven't heard
- 45:11Speaker 5: other people make the point, perhaps because it's not supposed
- 45:14Speaker 5: to be part of the criteria. But I'm just telling you,
- 45:17Speaker 5: these are humans. Keith Gill is the chairman of the
- 45:19Speaker 5: selection committee. Yes, he's the Buffalo Athletic director. More specifically,
- 45:23Speaker 5: he's a human being who understands reactions from you know,
- 45:28Speaker 5: understand what the reaction would be if you leave Miami
- 45:31Speaker 5: Ohio out of this bracket, and suddenly it would overwhelm
- 45:35Speaker 5: every other narrative connected to the college basketball season. If
- 45:38Speaker 5: you leave Miami Ohio out of the bracket, you immediately
- 45:42Speaker 5: have to jump into the CBS studios and answer Adam
- 45:45Speaker 5: Zucker's questions and Wally's Erbiak's questions. By the way, the
- 45:49Speaker 5: most fameous Miami Ohio player ever. And why do you
- 45:53Speaker 5: want to do that? Why do you want to put
- 45:54Speaker 5: yourself in that position? Why do you want to detract
- 45:57Speaker 5: from the bracket by making the app and so of
- 46:00Speaker 5: Miami Ohio the biggest story that everybody in the country
- 46:03Speaker 5: is talking about. So for that reason and others, the
- 46:06Speaker 5: RedHawks would be will be in, and they should be.
- 46:09Speaker 5: It's a great story. And I know you can use
- 46:12Speaker 5: some data points to you know, pick them apart, but
- 46:15Speaker 5: the truth is, I don't need to see a sixteen
- 46:17Speaker 5: loss Power Conference team or a fifteen loss Power Conference
- 46:20Speaker 5: tream at the expense of a team that just went
- 46:22Speaker 5: undefeated in the regular season and I know didn't play
- 46:25Speaker 5: the toughest schedule. But there's been enough reporting on this now.
- 46:28Speaker 5: They tried to get countless Power Conference games and were
- 46:33Speaker 5: rejected one after another. Why because when these Power Conference
- 46:37Speaker 5: teams want to quote buy a team like Miami Ohio,
- 46:39Speaker 5: that means you write them a check to come play
- 46:41Speaker 5: you in your abilding so that you can create a
- 46:43Speaker 5: season ticket package and sell it to your fans. So
- 46:45Speaker 5: you pay a certain amount of money to a team
- 46:47Speaker 5: to come in, and you know, build your schedule. Well, Miami,
- 46:51Speaker 5: Ohio was returning four of four of the five top
- 46:54Speaker 5: scorers from a twenty five win team. As soon as
- 46:57Speaker 5: any director of basketball operations looks at and says, hey, coach,
- 47:01Speaker 5: do you want to pay one hundred and fifty thousand
- 47:04Speaker 5: dollars to this team that's bringing back for the top
- 47:06Speaker 5: five scores won twenty five times last year? You want
- 47:08Speaker 5: to bring them in here? No, absolutely not. We're not
- 47:10Speaker 5: losing a bye game to the Red Hawks, and so
- 47:12Speaker 5: they just got passed over over and over again. Then
- 47:16Speaker 5: then everybody screams hitting into selection Sunday, Well they haven't
- 47:18Speaker 5: played anybody. Well that's because nobody would play them. So
- 47:20Speaker 5: it's a little bit of a circle argument. But it
- 47:23Speaker 5: will be over on Sunday. They'll be in the bracket.
- 47:25Speaker 5: Whether they're a ten seed or an eleven seed in
- 47:28Speaker 5: date or not, that's unclear, but they're gonna be in
- 47:30Speaker 5: the bracket.
- 47:31Speaker 2: Gary Perry's joining a CBS Sports I on college Basketball,
- 47:35Speaker 2: podcasts Inside College Basketball, and the CBS Sports Network Game.
- 47:38Speaker 2: You'll see Gary four pm Pacific time on Sunday on
- 47:41Speaker 2: the CBS Sports Network. And I know I got a
- 47:43Speaker 2: hockey game on Sunday. I've already hit record. I've alread
- 47:45Speaker 2: hit the little red button on my Compass Infinity and
- 47:48Speaker 2: it's recording. So I can't come home and settle in,
- 47:50Speaker 2: probably have a Gin and Tonic or three and settle
- 47:53Speaker 2: in to watch Gary and the crew do their thing
- 47:54Speaker 2: and so I can get ready for some bracket madness
- 47:56Speaker 2: next week. Gary, you mentioned Auburn. We'll wrap up Auburn
- 48:00Speaker 2: for a sec because you touched on it. From all,
- 48:02Speaker 2: this is kind of a lot of people jumping in.
- 48:04Speaker 2: They want to get Gary stots on this. You mentioned Miami,
- 48:07Speaker 2: and it kind of did turn in a little bit
- 48:08Speaker 2: thanks to Bruce Pearl, Stephen Pearl's dad, the back and
- 48:12Speaker 2: forth Auburn versus Miami, Ohio seventeen and sixteen. That is
- 48:16Speaker 2: what Auburn ends up after losing yesterday to Tennessee in
- 48:18Speaker 2: the SEC Tournament seventeen and sixteen. I said this where
- 48:22Speaker 2: we talk a lot about this with college football as well.
- 48:24Speaker 2: At some point you've got to win games, though, don't you, Gary,
- 48:27Speaker 2: Like it doesn't matter who you're playing, how tough your
- 48:29Speaker 2: schedule is, you have to win games. Sixteen losses is
- 48:32Speaker 2: hard to justify.
- 48:35Speaker 5: I don't want to say impossible to justify, because I guess,
- 48:38Speaker 5: you know, maybe one day we'll get there where a
- 48:40Speaker 5: sixteen loss team is an at large team in the bracket.
- 48:43Speaker 5: But we're not going to get there this year. Four
- 48:45Speaker 5: and thirteen in Quadrant one, seven and fifteen in the
- 48:49Speaker 5: first two quadrants, So they are eight games below five
- 48:53Speaker 5: hundred in the first two quadrants, and they've got a
- 48:55Speaker 5: Quadrant three loss on the resume as well. Congratulations on
- 48:59Speaker 5: your incredible strength of schedule. That's nice, but any basketball
- 49:04Speaker 5: team can lose a bunch of games to good teams.
- 49:06Speaker 5: That is not impressive. Losing a bunch of games to
- 49:09Speaker 5: good teams. I could put together an eight player basketball
- 49:12Speaker 5: team tonight and we could go lose to a bunch
- 49:15Speaker 5: of better teams. If that's the only thing you're grabbing
- 49:17Speaker 5: onto and yelling about is your strength of schedule, then
- 49:20Speaker 5: it means you've got nothing else to talk about. You
- 49:22Speaker 5: played thirty three games, you lost sixteen of them. That's
- 49:26Speaker 5: not good enough. You need to win more. If you
- 49:29Speaker 5: can't win more against this schedule, schedule a little less
- 49:32Speaker 5: next season, because the problem here is that you didn't
- 49:35Speaker 5: win enough games. Playing and simple they should be left out,
- 49:38Speaker 5: and anybody complaining about it can just point to that
- 49:40Speaker 5: sixteen in the Lost Cotton.
- 49:41Speaker 2: Gary Parris joining us, all right, we've got I'm gonna
- 49:45Speaker 2: get to some of the games tonight. I mean it
- 49:47Speaker 2: did some incredible ones, including ones will be played on
- 49:49Speaker 2: a real basketball court. By the way, the Big Twe see,
- 49:53Speaker 2: we're not fans of the Big twelve commissioner out here
- 49:55Speaker 2: because he likes to take shots at Oregon State and
- 49:57Speaker 2: Washington State and you know, stuff like that. So we're
- 49:59Speaker 2: not a big fan of old Brett there in the
- 50:01Speaker 2: Big Twelve. So I did have to chuckle when he
- 50:04Speaker 2: went back. You mentioned on the podcast for people missed it,
- 50:07Speaker 2: the Big Twelve court. The glass court got yanked. It's
- 50:10Speaker 2: no longer there after last night, so they're going back
- 50:12Speaker 2: to a normal court that they used last year. Garry.
- 50:15Speaker 2: The one thing that I thought was funny. Our hockey
- 50:17Speaker 2: people are laughing. We've been putting you know, led and
- 50:20Speaker 2: stuff like that on rint boards and ice for like
- 50:22Speaker 2: ten years. Now. Why was this such an innovative thing
- 50:25Speaker 2: that the Big Twelve did that didn't work.
- 50:29Speaker 5: Brett comes to this job with a unique background relative
- 50:33Speaker 5: to most other conference commissioners, you know, he used to
- 50:36Speaker 5: run Barclay Center here in New York. He thinks differently
- 50:40Speaker 5: than most conference commissioners I've ever been around. And so
- 50:44Speaker 5: there's a certain way that people do things in college
- 50:46Speaker 5: athletics forever, and he has sort of come in and said,
- 50:48Speaker 5: why do you do.
- 50:49Speaker 2: It that way?
- 50:50Speaker 5: Why don't we do it this other way? In other words,
- 50:52Speaker 5: just every conference has forever sold its media rights, like, hey,
- 50:55Speaker 5: here's our football basketball base. Whatever you want, it's all
- 50:59Speaker 5: yours if you own the SEC, or if you own
- 51:01Speaker 5: the Big ten or the Big twelve. And Brett comes
- 51:03Speaker 5: in and says, what is that really the best way
- 51:04Speaker 5: for us to maximize our properties? Why don't we sell
- 51:07Speaker 5: football to one network, sell basketball to another network, sell
- 51:11Speaker 5: them separately to maximize everything? And this was just the
- 51:14Speaker 5: next incarnation of that. It looked cool, it got a
- 51:20Speaker 5: lot of buzz, but it obviously didn't work the way
- 51:23Speaker 5: it was intended to work. Not every player complained about it.
- 51:27Speaker 5: In fact, some players said they were fine. Aj Debondsa
- 51:29Speaker 5: for instance, possibly the number one pick in the draft,
- 51:32Speaker 5: said he was fine on the court, comfortable in the court.
- 51:34Speaker 5: But when Christian Anderson at Texas Tech slipped and re
- 51:38Speaker 5: injured a soft tissue concern that had been you know,
- 51:43Speaker 5: he'd been dealing with for a little bit. It became
- 51:46Speaker 5: clear to the Big twelve that you don't want this
- 51:49Speaker 5: court overshadowing what should be an incredible semi final night
- 51:54Speaker 5: in Kansas City, most notably because you get Kansas and Houston,
- 51:58Speaker 5: two big brands to Hall of Fame level coaches, and
- 52:00Speaker 5: also two top five picks in the next draft. So
- 52:03Speaker 5: you don't want the court to be more of the
- 52:06Speaker 5: topic of conversation than the game. And God forbid Darreon
- 52:10Speaker 5: Peterson or Kingston Fleming, somebody like that slips on that
- 52:13Speaker 5: glass court tonight after Christian Anderson did it yesterday. Now
- 52:16Speaker 5: you've got real problems. I think it was smart for
- 52:18Speaker 5: them to pull the plug on this. Talk to the
- 52:20Speaker 5: four coaches who are working tonight, ask them what they preferred.
- 52:23Speaker 5: They seem to indicate they'd be okay with anything, but
- 52:26Speaker 5: they would prefer hardwood if we could do it. And
- 52:28Speaker 5: at that point, once the coaches are telling you that,
- 52:30Speaker 5: then you need to listen. I actually read some credit here.
- 52:33Speaker 5: A different person might be a little too prideful, a
- 52:36Speaker 5: little more ego to be like no it's gonna work.
- 52:38Speaker 5: It's fine. You guys don't know what you're talking about. Instead,
- 52:41Speaker 5: he said, hey, I'm listening. If we need to get
- 52:44Speaker 5: this out of here to get the conversation back on basketball,
- 52:47Speaker 5: then let's do it. And that's what they decided to
- 52:49Speaker 5: do last night. I don't mind the attempt, and I
- 52:52Speaker 5: appreciate the pulling the plug on it when it was
- 52:54Speaker 5: clear it was becoming too much of a topic of conversation.
- 52:57Speaker 2: Gary Parrish, CBS Sports Joining us here on College Basketball,
- 53:00Speaker 2: Inside College Basketball on the CBS Sports Network, on College
- 53:03Speaker 2: Basketball Podcast. If you haven't downloaded, listened to it, it's fantastic.
- 53:06Speaker 2: He and Matt Norlander and sometimes David Cobbin others do
- 53:09Speaker 2: a great job on that. Okay, is Florida's fourth number
- 53:13Speaker 2: one seed now with their win over Kentucky.
- 53:15Speaker 5: I don't know if it's locked up, but they are
- 53:18Speaker 5: certainly in pole position, if you will. In other words,
- 53:21Speaker 5: this is pretty simple. On Selection Sunday, Duke, Michigan and
- 53:25Speaker 5: Arizona are going to be number one seeds no matter
- 53:28Speaker 5: what happens between now. In Selection Sunday, that's been done
- 53:31Speaker 5: for about a week. The fourth number one is still available.
- 53:34Speaker 5: I believe it comes down to three schools. It's in disorder, Florida, Yukon, Houston.
- 53:39Speaker 5: So I'll lay it out as simply as I can.
- 53:42Speaker 5: If Florida wins the SEC Tournament, Florida would then be
- 53:45Speaker 5: the outright SEC champ, the SEC Tournament champ. They'd have
- 53:48Speaker 5: like eleven twelve Quadrant one wins. The NET calls the
- 53:52Speaker 5: SEC conference in college basketball. There's just no way the
- 53:55Speaker 5: Committee's going to take the best conference college basketball. It's
- 53:58Speaker 5: going to have an outright champ and a tournament champ
- 54:01Speaker 5: same school and not get a one seed. If Florida
- 54:03Speaker 5: wins out, they're the fourth number one. If Florida loses
- 54:07Speaker 5: in the SEC Tournament at any point, it opens it
- 54:09Speaker 5: up for Yukon. And if Yukon were to win tonight
- 54:12Speaker 5: and they're playing Georgetown here at the Garden, so that
- 54:15Speaker 5: should be easy, and then presumably play Saint John's in
- 54:18Speaker 5: the title game, they win both of those. If Florida loses,
- 54:21Speaker 5: there's an argument for Yukon to slide into the fourth
- 54:23Speaker 5: number one. If Florida and Yukon both lose in their
- 54:26Speaker 5: conference tournaments and Houston were to go win the Big
- 54:28Speaker 5: twelve tournament. Perhaps there's an argument there for Houston to
- 54:32Speaker 5: be the fourth number one, but it'll come down to
- 54:34Speaker 5: one of those three schools barring a surprise, and at
- 54:36Speaker 5: this point it looks like it'll be Florida because after
- 54:39Speaker 5: starting five and four on the season through the first
- 54:41Speaker 5: nine games, they've been operating like one of the best
- 54:44Speaker 5: teams in the country for a long time now. Like
- 54:47Speaker 5: I want to say, last time I looked it up,
- 54:49Speaker 5: over a twenty two game stretch, they were quite literally
- 54:52Speaker 5: the best team in the country. So Ted Golden got
- 54:53Speaker 5: a chance to repeat as national champion, and I don't
- 54:57Speaker 5: think at this point anybody would be too surprised if
- 54:58Speaker 5: he did it.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Gary Parrish, all right, let me let's get to well
- 55:02Speaker 2: And by the way, next week, Gary's on with us.
- 55:04Speaker 2: We've got our bracketology show we do with Gary every year.
- 55:07Speaker 2: We go through and spend a couple of segments with
- 55:09Speaker 2: Gary and get you the best in depth that you'll
- 55:11Speaker 2: find UH basketball bracket coverage that you can find anywhere.
- 55:14Speaker 2: We'll do that from Stokequalma Casino and Hotel coming up
- 55:17Speaker 2: on Tuesday. So Gary's going to join us next week,
- 55:18Speaker 2: so we'll kind of get into like the Duke injuries,
- 55:22Speaker 2: North Carolina injuries, guys that you see as high seas
- 55:25Speaker 2: But where are the red flag? We'll get into all
- 55:27Speaker 2: that next week with Gary. Let's just give folks what
- 55:30Speaker 2: to look for this weekend. First of all, MAC, is
- 55:33Speaker 2: that now a bid stealing conference, right, because I mean
- 55:35Speaker 2: with with Miami Ohio, I.
- 55:37Speaker 5: Mean, if I'm going to insist Miami Ohio's in, well,
- 55:40Speaker 5: then somebody's got to get the MAC auto bid. That's
- 55:43Speaker 5: a bad that's a bad development for bubble teams. But yes,
- 55:46Speaker 5: the MAC is going to be a two bid league.
- 55:48Speaker 5: And there's also a scenario where the Atlantic ten turns
- 55:51Speaker 5: into a three bid league. Saint Louis gets an at large,
- 55:56Speaker 5: DCU could get an at large, and if anybody other
- 55:59Speaker 5: than Saint with VCU wins the A ten, that becomes
- 56:02Speaker 5: a three bid league.
- 56:03Speaker 8: Perhaps.
- 56:03Speaker 5: So, if you're a fan of a power conference bubble team,
- 56:06Speaker 5: what happened in the MAC not good for you. What
- 56:08Speaker 5: could happen in the A ten also not good for you.
- 56:11Speaker 2: WCC finished last week, is that a three big conference
- 56:13Speaker 2: with Saint Mary, Santa Clara and obviously gone zag is in.
- 56:16Speaker 5: I think so, But it's going to be impacted perhaps
- 56:20Speaker 5: by what we were just talking about. Like right now,
- 56:22Speaker 5: you look at Santa Clara and in some brackets they're
- 56:24Speaker 5: going to be last four in think of this as
- 56:26Speaker 5: like musical chairs, right, There's only so many seats, and
- 56:29Speaker 5: so when the MAC becomes a two bid league, one
- 56:32Speaker 5: of those chairs disappears, Like that's just that. That is
- 56:35Speaker 5: a team taking up a spot in the bracket that
- 56:37Speaker 5: was not supposed to take up a spot in the bracket.
- 56:39Speaker 5: If the A ten gets three, well, then another chair
- 56:42Speaker 5: that nobody has been expecting to be filled by an
- 56:46Speaker 5: A ten team gets filled by an eight ten ten.
- 56:48Speaker 5: That's another chair off the floor. So the problem for
- 56:51Speaker 5: Santa Clara now is that you can play your final
- 56:54Speaker 5: game before selection Sunday, which they did lose to the
- 56:57Speaker 5: Zags WCC tournament title games. Wake up the next morning,
- 57:00Speaker 5: you're in every bracket, You're feeling good. But then the
- 57:03Speaker 5: bubble starts to shrink, you know, because of the MAC,
- 57:06Speaker 5: because of the A ten, and they could get squeezed out.
- 57:09Speaker 5: But as of this moment, I think it should be
- 57:11Speaker 5: and I hope that it is because it hurts did
- 57:13Speaker 5: a great job there. I mean, he did a great
- 57:15Speaker 5: job at NC State and got pushed that after five
- 57:17Speaker 5: straight NCAA tournament So it's nice to see him back
- 57:19Speaker 5: in this position. And I hope on selection some day
- 57:22Speaker 5: they get rewarded for what was a really fine, fine
- 57:24Speaker 5: season in the WCC the last season as you know
- 57:27Speaker 5: that we'll ever see that conference with the vagciner and.
- 57:30Speaker 2: I'm just looking around. I mean, Perdue Nebraska is a
- 57:32Speaker 2: great one in the Big Ten, Iowa State Arizona phenomenal,
- 57:35Speaker 2: I mean phenomenal game in the Big twelfth tournament that's
- 57:38Speaker 2: a semi final tonight, you got Miami Virginia ACC some
- 57:41Speaker 2: really good matchups all the way through. I'm just going
- 57:44Speaker 2: to ask you the final thing, who of the Power
- 57:46Speaker 2: SKA Conference schools has the most important impactful game as
- 57:51Speaker 2: a bubble team tonight. UCLA, I'm assuming is incomfortably right now.
- 57:55Speaker 2: Would that be Oklahoma and Arkansas later on?
- 57:58Speaker 5: I think that's it. It's one of those where Oklahoma
- 58:01Speaker 5: is in the field today according to CBS Sports bracketology,
- 58:05Speaker 5: but you take another loss that could push you out,
- 58:08Speaker 5: you take another loss, maybe you stay put where you
- 58:10Speaker 5: are in the bracket because it's just a loss to
- 58:12Speaker 5: a better team. As long as it's competitive. You know,
- 58:17Speaker 5: you could stay in the bracket when you wake up,
- 58:19Speaker 5: but if that bubble starts shrinking, then suddenly you're you're
- 58:22Speaker 5: subjected to maybe get left out. So if you're Oklahoma,
- 58:25Speaker 5: first things first, try to beat Arkansas tonight, and if
- 58:29Speaker 5: you do that then you're probably in good shape. If
- 58:31Speaker 5: you don't do that tonight, you need to really start
- 58:34Speaker 5: rooting for you know, things to stay in some sort
- 58:37Speaker 5: of order in these other conferences, because if the bubble
- 58:39Speaker 5: starts shrinking, you know, if you're for how about this,
- 58:42Speaker 5: if you are last four in right now, and to
- 58:44Speaker 5: circle this back to golf in the clubhouse already, I
- 58:47Speaker 5: don't know how comfortable you can be because there's there's
- 58:50Speaker 5: big steelers out there in multiple spots, and the ones
- 58:52Speaker 5: they take that could be yours.
- 58:54Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy's named Steve Scheffler, by the way, he'll
- 58:57Speaker 2: find a way to get back. That's how it works. Well,
- 59:00Speaker 2: I'll talk next week, will reconvene. It's one of my
- 59:02Speaker 2: favorite shows I do all year, and I can't thank
- 59:05Speaker 2: you enough for that. It's gonna be a ton of
- 59:07Speaker 2: fun as we get ready for brackets again. Tune in.
- 59:10Speaker 2: Gary's got the Get the Eye on College Basketball podcast.
- 59:13Speaker 2: You guys do that, Like what late Sunday after you're
- 59:14Speaker 2: done with the TV responsibilities is.
- 59:16Speaker 5: Yeah, well we'll do TV. Norlander will be on CBS
- 59:19Speaker 5: Sports h Q. I'll be at CBS Sports Network. He will,
- 59:23Speaker 5: i think, be live from the HQ studios. I'll probably
- 59:26Speaker 5: get back to my hotel and then that's always a
- 59:28Speaker 5: fun show that we do because I'm a I'm an
- 59:31Speaker 5: over preparer, like when I'm when I'm when I'm planning
- 59:34Speaker 5: a show, I like prep a show and there's no
- 59:36Speaker 5: time to prep the show. We're just sort of talking
- 59:39Speaker 5: and he loves it because he would always rather do that.
- 59:42Speaker 5: I'm a little less enthusiastic about it because I like
- 59:45Speaker 5: to be planned and organized and then I'll veer off
- 59:48Speaker 5: in between. But I always have a certain structure to it,
- 59:51Speaker 5: and when we do that show, there's no structure to it.
- 59:53Speaker 5: I like introduce ourselves and we just start talking and
- 59:55Speaker 5: we end whenever we end. So it's always fun. It
- 59:57Speaker 5: is our largest show of the year, Like the the
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: audience for it is the you know, bigger than normal. Obviously,
- 1:00:04Speaker 5: the downloads you know are certainly strong. So that's a

- 1:01:19Speaker 2: in Pewallup, cool little town, Homa. Chris Egan, we love Puallup.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: It was all big time here the show this year.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: We've been doing this for a while. We've been and
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: and last couple of years, I feel like it's been
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: Saturday Sunday, right, has been Saturday Sunday. Yeah, so back
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: on a Friday Tonight open un till five Tomorrow five
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: and then Sunday till four. But new location, better location,
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: just ease of access, easy to get in, tons of vendors.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: And I mean, if you're a golf person, if you
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: love the game, and you'd be like me, jess all day.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: I'm just kind of like, I'm overwhelmed. I got sensory overloader.
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: Look any the word sensory overload.
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: A lot I need to do. I need not to
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: be sitting here just doing a show in the corner.
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: Need to be walking around seeing people looking at stuff.
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: But I wanted to mention a couple of things. One
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: so we mentioned last week. The Mayor Maple Valley Open
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: is July tenth. This year. We have our date. We
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: announced that last week. Sign up to be sometime probably
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: late May early June, standby for that. Of course, it
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: benefits to the Hunsky's Hope, Jordan Morris Foundation and Avery
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: Huffman dipg The thing with the game of golf is
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: in golf tournaments you can raise some money, not so
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: much with the golf, but with the raffles and all
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: the other stuff you do surrounding at Mulligan's tea prizes
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: and so forth. And we couldn't do that every year
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: without the support of great people and great companies and friends,
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: longtime friends. Callaway has been a big sponsor for us
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: for a few years, and we thanked them tremendously. My guy,
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: John Baggley Bags from Callaway is here, Jess. We went
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: to high school together. We only we graduated just a
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: few years ago.
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: We want all the stories.
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: He's got no stories. Bags has no stories. There's definitely
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: a DNA right here, all right, so Begs. When people
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: come down here, they can go to all the manufacturers.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: We I would point him towards Callaway, ask for Dylan.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: He's really good. If you're here, I guess that's okay
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: or Chalmers, one of those guys. Dylan's good, no bags
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: dealing the whole crew down here for Callaway. But all
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: the manufacturers, why is it important if you're playing the
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: game of golf, why is it important to get fitted?
- 1:03:23Speaker 14: Well, it's important because like even with your fitting it,
- 1:03:26Speaker 14: there's a lot of things that can go right or
- 1:03:28Speaker 14: wrong in your golf swing right, But yeah, they're getting
- 1:03:32Speaker 14: fit properly with the right equipment helps you. I mean,
- 1:03:36Speaker 14: the equipment's all good. Ours is fantastic. The new Quantum
- 1:03:39Speaker 14: lineup is phenomenal. But it's getting the right shaft for
- 1:03:44Speaker 14: the right swing speed, for the right light angles, and
- 1:03:47Speaker 14: then you know what you're trying to do, the right loft.
- 1:03:49Speaker 14: Like you know the experience that you had when we
- 1:03:52Speaker 14: fitted for a driver. It was different heads, it was
- 1:03:54Speaker 14: different shafts. You try a couple of things, things work,
- 1:03:58Speaker 14: things you like, things you don't like, and then next
- 1:03:59Speaker 14: year you know you've got a recipe. Your recipe was
- 1:04:03Speaker 14: designed for you. Your shaft and the head and the
- 1:04:06Speaker 14: driver we got for you. And then you're just you
- 1:04:08Speaker 14: were smacking them out of the park with great flight
- 1:04:10Speaker 14: and distance and it just feels good and it makes
- 1:04:13Speaker 14: a difference when you get fit.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: I've I've always I mean we all go through clubs
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: and stuff like that. People buy them off the rack,
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: and you do that sometimes and sure, and you probably
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: aren't going to be happy with.
- 1:04:24Speaker 14: The results, yeah, because you won't know if it's the
- 1:04:28Speaker 14: right fit for you or not. So you could be
- 1:04:29Speaker 14: doing something and swinging right, but you're trying to do
- 1:04:31Speaker 14: something that's not working for you, and trying to do
- 1:04:34Speaker 14: something that maybe is working for you. But getting fit
- 1:04:37Speaker 14: makes it takes you to a whole other level.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: You know. What I found is the shaft is the difference.
- 1:04:42Speaker 4: Shafts are good, heads are good, langles are good, all
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: all those things.
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: The grips even to I was I was surprised by that.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: I was actually really surprised by like what a difference
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: a shaft made. Yeah, that really shocked me. Yeah, and
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: you're not going to get that if you just go
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: to the store and just knowing off the rack. No, yeah, right,
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: because you might hit a couple nice ones, they might
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: try to simulate it up and give you like a
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: hundred hundred my an hour back wind or something like that.
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: And also I'm hitting the ball, but.
- 1:05:03Speaker 14: Like like in your experience we did with you on
- 1:05:05Speaker 14: a Newcastle. It was it was interesting to see the
- 1:05:07Speaker 14: ball flight and have it. But it worked out good
- 1:05:09Speaker 14: because that we tried this, then we tried that, and
- 1:05:11Speaker 14: then we put you into what I recommend it and
- 1:05:14Speaker 14: next thing you know, you're striping them, you're hitting them far,
- 1:05:17Speaker 14: you eat a nice loft and it.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Was it was good. It's all confidence and that's why
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: you wouldn't know unless you got fit right. So that's
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: why you come down the golf show and the think
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: cool thing here is all these guys are lined up
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: so and we'll give a shout. I mean, they're all here.
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: So Callaway is next to Tailor Made, like there's ping
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: down there whom I missing? Like everyone's here. Everyone's here.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: So if you're partial to al and I think a
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: lot of people get partial with a club manufacturer, but
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: I would suggest coming down and trying different ones exactly sure,
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: and go go you know, basically tent to tent to tent,
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: tell them what you are, and you walk guys through it,
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: or the other guys will walk through guys. Your competitors
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: do the same thing. You walk them through it. But
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: that's the cool thing about the Seattle Golf Show. So
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: if you're coming down here, go try stuff out.
- 1:05:56Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what we're here for.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Try stuff out. They've got a whole bunch of They
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: got another side over there. It's all the putters, yep,
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: which you know, like I think we all understand that
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: that's a big part of the game, and most of
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: us just don't take that serious enough.
- 1:06:07Speaker 4: It's yeah, you should get even fit for a butter.
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: It's important.
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: Yeah. And then so you can go check those out
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: as well.
- 1:06:13Speaker 9: Here.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: Uh, they got all the resorts are here. You can
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: get deals. Golf balls. Golf balls make a difference too.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: I was my buddy Murph, who's uh scratching his way
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: onto the uh the Senior the Champions Tour right now,
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: and we play a lot and he's like, dude, you
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: got to start playing better balls. And I'm like, well,
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: the thing is, I play better balls. They like, I
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: lose a lot of balls. I don't you lose those ones?
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: I give you. Yeah, but that but that's true too.
- 1:06:38Speaker 14: There's such a thing as a ball fitting a ball recommendation,
- 1:06:41Speaker 14: and we do that as well.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: Yeah, So get yourself down here again. Open till five today,

- 1:06:56Speaker 2: You're not. If you're want to hit golf balls this weekend,
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: you're gonna come here because most robby rangers are close
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: to no one's want to go. They're not sending ball

- 1:08:25Speaker 2: you that. Better than the Living Field. Yeah, better than
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Living Field, better than the Convention Center the last couple

- 1:08:38Speaker 2: is a great golfer and probably got a heck of
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: a golfing future ahead, so I can tell you this.

- 1:08:45Speaker 2: on down here, my friend, after you've done there at
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: the Seattle Sports Awards. Well, he's gonna try.
- 1:08:50Speaker 12: My wife and I are gonna go up to Victoria
- 1:08:53Speaker 12: with my daughter. And we asked if my son wanted
- 1:08:56Speaker 12: to go, and he says, no, I want to stay
- 1:08:57Speaker 12: home and play golf. So he is try to like
- 1:09:01Speaker 12: golf today got snowed out, but he is gonna try
- 1:09:05Speaker 12: tomorrow Sunday.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: But you're right, it's so much fun.
- 1:09:06Speaker 12: And if it just reminds me of like taking him
- 1:09:09Speaker 12: home from the golf So we've been probably eight in
- 1:09:12Speaker 12: a row something like that, and he comes home with
- 1:09:16Speaker 12: this bag and it's like, I think he's just as
- 1:09:19Speaker 12: happy with the bag of goodies he gets from the
- 1:09:21Speaker 12: golf show than when I when he comes home from
- 1:09:23Speaker 12: Halloween night.
- 1:09:24Speaker 8: Man.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah.
- 1:09:25Speaker 12: He just dumps it all over the floor. Let's see
- 1:09:27Speaker 12: what free rounds I got. Let's see what kind of
- 1:09:29Speaker 12: balls I got. It's really cool, that's what that's what
- 1:09:32Speaker 12: the kid.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I my guy. If he comes down here, he's
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: on his own. He's got his own money now, so
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: he could because otherwise the thing was you could come
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: down here if you won the Mega power ball thing. Right,
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: you could probably come down here and dispose of all
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: of it just in one fell swoop, you know, join
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: a couple of clubs, buy some you know, I mean,
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: just do whatever. It's it's fun. It's a ton of fun.
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: You guys are at the Seattle Sports Awards, correct, we are.
- 1:09:56Speaker 12: We are as like to calm before the storm. I
- 1:09:59Speaker 12: see the set up there. I see your guys at

- 1:10:15Speaker 2: bit later on in the show and have a good
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: time here. The uh yeah, I My favorite Seattle Sports
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: Awards story is I think two or three years in
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: a row. We well, we were interrupted by COVID for
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: a couple of years, I believe, right, because I think, Yeah,
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: one of the first ones I did was twenty eighteen
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: with Fox, and because my show was too early to
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: do anything with the radio station went down with Fox
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen did some stuff. We Emember. We had
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: our buddy Gardner Minshew on. Afterwards, We've had a couple
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: of Sonics came in, you know, and I think Lenny
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: was there. It was it was always fun to see
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: guys like that. But my favorite one the last I
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: think it was the last one I did with Fox thirteen.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: I was the only one there. I don't know where
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: Levine was or Alyssa or whatever, but I was down there.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: We had the desk set up and we were one
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: of the sponsors. So hey, we're gonna just do live
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: shots during our news from ford until seven. We're just
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: gonna do If you get somebody on the desk, just
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: tell us and we'll you know, we got a producer
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: there and we'll we'll just go live. And like looking around,
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: it's kind of like for you right now, like there's
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: nobody there till like five thirty six, sure, right, but
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: then people start rolling in. Well, the first few people
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: are rolled in, I look up. It's Roma Dunes A,
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: Michael Pennix Junior, and Calein de Boor And I'm like,
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: lovely the three and I'm like here we go, like
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: and they go, you got anybody down there? And I'm
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: looking around I'm like, I'm still looking for somebody.
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: Still.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple of guys here from Washington Football
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: who it's the bar. I done Panix to put them on.
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: Did you see if you get those guys on? And
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: it's funny because, uh, Jeff Bechtel, the Great Sid comes
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: over and he says, hey, like you you want to
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: guess you need guests. I go, yeah, I need guests. Absolutely.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: He goes, all right, well, what do you want to do?
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: He goes, let's go the two players at one time
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: and they'll do Kylen the other time. Okay, perfect, So
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: we do the two Kaylen comes over and I don't
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: want to like the guy at all, Like, I just
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: don't want to like I don't want to like Kaelin.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: I don't want to like him in any way, shape
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: or form. He comes over before I introduce myself, I
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: Kayleen internesced Harry. I goes, do a great job with
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: the Seahawks stuff, and I like your show And I'm like, dude,
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: don't do that to me. Yeah, don't just feel good.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: Don't just like just totally dis wanted to start. Yeah,
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: you just wanted to start rich? Yeah, because I interviewed
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: Mark a few years ago, and he was so unlikable
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: in such a jackass. I'm like, Okay, that's easy. I
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: don't like you, and I don't have to ever like it.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Kayln does I like him? And then I will say this,
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: and I've said this a lot of times in the year,
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: Michael Pennix Junior is one of the most engaging athletes
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: I've ever spoken to. He is fantastic. He was awesome
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: and really cool and so was wrong. Honestly, so was wrong.
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: And then I'm like, okay, all right, this is no fun.
