• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Kevin Dotson, the offensive guard the replay, He I don't

  Speaker 1: even think he did. He stepped over him. Well, he
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The thing was, Dodson got hurt on the play, so
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: he's and he's they carted him off and he's got
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a boot and all that. So that's why that happened.

  Speaker 1: They both may miss a little bit of time, but
• 1:31

• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Short Time Ago, Hugh Melon is with me right now. Hello, Hugh,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: how are you? What's happening? How are you doing? Great?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Show?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: You and fame? Last night? Oh, some of us from
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: driving home from a hockey broadcast set. At least a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: dozen people were watching while the Sea Hawk game was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: going on, and uh, you know, I'm I'm I was multitasking.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I had the two screens up watching football and hockey,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: trying to immerse myself in both. Last night incredible. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: gotta tell this funny story. We go in to do
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the Seconder mission, which is about we're We're in the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: studio for about twelve thirteen minutes and I went in there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks were down sixteen. I'm like, okay, well let's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: think it over whatever. I would come walking through our
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: control room and Hugh, you've been in TV control rooms,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you know. I got like fifty monitors up there right there,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: layers of people and all this. They had a bunch
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of the bunch of them were on the Seahawk game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And I glanced over there and I'm like, and I'd
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: heard some rumbling in the hall through soundproof walls, which
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is hard. And I look up there and I'm like,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: does this say thirty to twenty eight? And they're like yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And I said what They're like a rachet sha heat
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and then this and then I'm like, oh my god,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and then I saw so i'd luckily in real time,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I got to see the two point conversion that Charbona
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: casually picked up for the two points and away we go.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: But just a wild night all the way around. Hugh
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I want to get into Sam Darnold if I can't
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: because we don't have a ton of time. We don't
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have a ton of time today, so I want to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: get into that quick story. I think I told you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: this a few weeks ago. I was doing the morning
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: show hit like we do for people, you know, we
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: have people on, they have people on. I was doing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars radio station, and before the Seahawks
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: played the Jags, as in the morning show with those guys,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I got my butt up early in the morning. Nice
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: nice of Vian to do that. Very good conversation with
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the boys. We're talking about the game and then they said,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: well what will the difference of the game be? And
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I said, Sam Donald versus Trevor Lawrence, the guy appears
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: better than your guy. Period into story. They're very and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Mike Sander told me this to Hugh. They are very,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: very protective of old Sunshine down there was long hair,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and they lost their mind both on the air and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: then they made it go viral. I'm getting just hammered
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: by literally thousands of fans from Jacksonville, the masses coming
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: at me. Donald's ob Then the game happened, and if
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you remember Seahawks started slow in that game, and then
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: they kind of cranked it up and they won going away,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and Sam was really good, and then it was like crickets, crickets, well, Hugh.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Last night, somewhere around seven o'clock Pacific time, I glanced
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: down at my Twitter mentions a whole bunch of Jacksonville
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: fans coming out of the woodwork. They're all chirping, Guy's better,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Donald's awful, blah blah blah, and I'm like, you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: what's weird? A lot of people in Seattle say the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: same thing. Sometimes. I don't think that. I think Sam
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Donald is a massive upgrade from last year. And in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the end, Hugh, in the end, Seattle wins the football game.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: He did throw a couple of interceptions along the way,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: but Sam Donald leads Seattle to the win over the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: La Rams, along with a lot of help from a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: lot of other people. But I want to go down
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the Sam Donald road with you for a second. If
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I can't, Okay, I believe in my heart of hearts,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: but not the football expert and acumen that you have
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that the Seattle Seahawks are not sitting right now with
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the record they have at twelve and three atop the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: NFC number one seed if they don't have Sam Donald
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and they had Gino Smith instead, Am I wrong in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that assessment?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll never know, and I think that certainly it's
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: not provable, it's not fall sufiable. All you can do
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: is kind of make inferences and look, I.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Try.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I tend to want to defend Sam Darnold on where
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I could really dig in and supply evidence that is
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: relevant and compelling.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: And one of the things that I look at is
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: over the last thirty nine starts, going back to over
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: three years ago, covering four different teams, he has a
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: win percentage of sixty seven percent excuse me, seventy seven percent.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Seventy seven percent.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: And he has the number of I'm updating it that
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the percentage of those games where he has a triple
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: digit passer rating is sixty four percent. To put that
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: into context, both Brady and Mahomes for their career are
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: under fifty percent on those numbers, and Mahomes over the
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: last three years is way under I think it's even
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: under forty percent. So Sam Donald winning seventy seven percent
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: and playing at that level, you know, that's certainly relevant. Now,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the other part of it that the kind of gets
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: me Ian is this whole business that Sam Donald never
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: won a big game prior to and I'm still hearing it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I'm still hearing it, and it's kind of irking to me.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: The point that and I think I know all the
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: people that cover the Seahawks in Seattle, and it's a
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: wonderful group of professionals.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: But I'm going to challenge him.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: It's one thing if you're just a fan at a
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: bar and you don't know what I'm about to say,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: But if you get, if you earn one dollar, if
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: you make money commenting on the Seattle Seahawks, how do
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: you not know the following? On December twenty ninth last year,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald went in and with the Packers when they
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: were when they the Vikings were thirteen and two, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the Packers they're, you know, they're wrestling. The Packers want
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: to try and knock them off. Sam Donald. He he
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: knocks out the Packers and I'm trying to get about
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: three hundred and twenty seven yards and and here's the part.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: If you go on YouTube and you just google the.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Falling, just search the following uh, and this, I'm gonna
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: go read word for word Kevin O'Connell's locker room speech
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: after Minnesota Vikings win over Green Bay Packers. Hey, you'll
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: see that Sam Donald comes in after doing media stuff
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: and his and his teammates mullin. They're shaking water all
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: over me. It's like it's like a hero's welcome. It's
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: like he just will save nineteen guys in a war.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: And all of a sudden he's on their shoulders and
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: they're singing, you know, you know, for reasons all you
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: get felt, you know, not that, but you know something
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, and and and Kevin O'Connell's just sitting
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: there watching his quarterback be exalted by his And that
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: was in year one. And I'm gonna just I'm gonna
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: just let's just carry this out like Aristotle would. If
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: you see, if your quarterback is on the shoulders of
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: the teammates in the locker, on the shoulders, then he
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: just won a big game. There is no that that
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: is pure a logic modus ponus logic. If A, then
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: B right. If it's raining, the street is wet. If
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: you're on the shoulders of your teammates, in a football game.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: You just won a big game because teams don't do that.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: You've been in a hell of a lot of lockers.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I bet Tom Brady didn't even get up on the
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: shoulders after he brought brought him back from the twenty
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: five points down the Super Bowl. So that was and
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: that was on December twenty ninth of last year. So
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: that was a big game late in the year. So uh,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: those are one who were saying he's never won a
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: big game. Well, you can't say that any more because
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: of last night. And I think it was silly to
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: say it before, but people are still talking about it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: It's at and I'll just quote Don James. He said
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: that they always say the big game is the one
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: you lost. And he said that to the Seattle Times
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety nine. You can search that too, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: they never want to give you credit for the ones
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: you won. And you remember when Seattle last year a
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: year goes says the Seahawks either need to beat the
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Vikings or the Packers, the Vikings or the Packers, And
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: the Vikings came in and how to and and Sam Darnold,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: you know, went lights out hit that that fade ball
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: to Justin Jefferson while he's sprinting up towards the lion
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: of Scammage.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Was that not a big game?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: It was a shirt that held big game for the Seahawks.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Well, and the last year game against Seattle. Yeah, when
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: he was twenty two of thirty five and threw for
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns and no picks. Yeah, he was okay in
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that game against Seattle. Yeah.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: So like like I'm just gonna change. I'm gonna say
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: it again. If you make a single dollar being paid
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: to discuss the Seattle Seahawks, how do you not know this?
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Because I just think it needs to stop. To say
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: that he never won a big game? Is you know
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: what to say that? You cannot reconcile those two facts.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: You cannot say a the Minnesota Vikings put Sam Donald
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: on their shoulders in the locker and then say that
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: he's never won a big game. Those facts are incongruent.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: They cannot exist together.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Well, part of it, too, Hugh, is that you know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: first of all, you're right when you start your career
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: with one of the lowliest worst franchises in the NFL
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: year in a year out, you're not going to have
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of big game opportunities, I e. The Jets,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I look back many Yeah, like I'll look back. By
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the way, the Green Bay game you're referencing for those
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: wondering Sam Donald last year in Week sixteen, twelve, Week seventeen,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: but Week sixteen, Game sixteen, in a massive game for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the NFC North that he was referencing thirty three for
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: forty three three seventy seven three touchdowns in.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: A twenty seven to twenty five Like they needed all
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: of that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: They won game they needed.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: So, by the way, if you just go to YouTube,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not giving you some secret code.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: This is just YouTube.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: It's not behind a paywall. Google search what I said,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: and then you're gonna see Kevin O'Connell give him a
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: game ball. And you know what he does when he
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: gives them a game ball. He says, Vikings team record
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: for wins fourteen wins, and that wasn't by virtue of
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: the seventeenth game. He did that in the sixteen. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: this is a The Viking has been around since nineteen
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: sixty if I'm not mistaken. So he's getting a game
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: ball in year one setting the all time Viking records
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: for wins and they what have they done this year
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: without him. It's right, so so so please can we
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: put some context as to what we're defining big games
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: because right now I feel like we're just saying the
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: big games are the ones that Sam Donald lost.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I think with Sam Donald, I think that when you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: look at who he is, and this goes back to USC,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: he's a guy that he doesn't have the Russell Wilson.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not a very flamboyant guy, right, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: things go good, things go bad a lot of times.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It's kind of the same facial expression. He internalizes things,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: so he's you know, so you don't see some of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And I think, you know, whereas you see
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the fake all the time, Hugh, like you see the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: phony all the time. And I I bring this up
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I'm gonna bring it up again. Gino
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Smith was raw raw, great backup quarterback. Things are good
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: my first year as a starter. We got to the playoffs,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and then what happened in San Francisco. We all know Gino,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and then things started not always going well. We started
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: seeing the true colors, as Sneelapper would sing, right, we
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: started seeing the true body. Horrible, horrible, but and watch
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: him this year. Yeah, bad football team, bad everything there,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: but bad body language on every series things don't go well,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you better grab it an extremity and pretend like you're hurt,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Gino Sam Donald doesn't ever do that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: He doesn't get too high, doesn't get too low, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: in the big game, he leaves him to win. I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: got I'm gonna go this. Analyst choice Hugh for the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: final six minutes. Analyst choice one of two things. Yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the two point conversion to win the game, or any
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: concerns about the defense, or maybe you can do both.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Oh well, I'm ready for all of that. The two
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: point conversion to win the game. Uh, you got a
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Trip's a bunch of trips right with what's called a
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: nub tight end. Solder was an aligned next to Josh Jones,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: who had a hell of a game filling in right
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: for Charles Cross in my opinion, and you know, just
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: as Evance. But you don't even remember them talking about him.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Nope, nope, right, nope. And so that's a good thing
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: if you're an offensive lineman. By the way, asked you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: for right, it's a very good thing.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I see out of the news I'm happy right exactly.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: And so they ran a three man concept with a
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: cup in the flat to the right, trying to get
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: in jigb in the back of the end zone. And uh,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: and you've got Barners kind of sitting over the middle
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: of the ball, and so that those those three man
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: concepts are are kind of zone beaters. But credit the Rams,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: they gloved it up. There was nothing there with those
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: three guys. So now with the benefit of really good protection,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: it was just a four man rush. Now Here, here's
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: the critical part for Darnold, and this is this is
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: this is a simple part of quarterbacking, but many quarterbacks
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: get it wrong. He had two check back checkdowns. He
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: had Zach Charbonnet in what's called the check swing. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: he's looking as the outside linebacker come from my side
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: on the left. Nope, okay, I I and then I
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: release on a swing or he's got solder. Make sure
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I'm pronouncing a sober eighty one. He's gonna he's gonna block, block, block, block, block, block,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: and then check over the middle. Now, with the benefit
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: of that good protection, which obviously he didn't always have,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: he could have scanned right to left. It would be
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: very easy for him to have just boomed. Let me
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: go to the swing. I don't think there's any chance
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: that if he throws the swing out there that Charbonnay
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: doesn't get tackled. There's one guy for sure, and another
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: guy closing. I think there would have been two guys
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: in a position to sandwich him. I don't think he
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: gets to the goal line whatsoever, and the Seahawks lose
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: the game. There are a hell of a lot of quarterbacks,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: a hell of a lot of quarterbacks Ian that would
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: have thrown that swing round. And Darnold had the sense
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: of like, hey, I've got the time. He remained calm,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: and he waited for Salber over the middle, and you
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: know so he made the right decision on the checkdown.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Was it a difficult throw? Of course not. He could
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: have done that when he was in middle school, probably
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: early middle school, sixth grade. The throw was not difficult.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: The part that was his veterans stature was electing to
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: go to whitch of checkdowns. You want to say it's
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: the fourth guy, fine, you want to say it's the
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: fifth guy. I could make an argument either way that
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: was either the fourth or the fifth, because they're kind
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: of equal the last guys in the progression. They're both
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: check releases, and and uh, look, obviously he made the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: right decision. He threw it to the only guy of
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: five that was going to win the game. Not a
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: difficult throw, not necessarily a difficult read from the camera
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: on the third level. When I watched the tape, I'm like, well,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: of course you threw it over the middle. But I've
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: been down there, and I've been around other guys that
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: have been down there, and it's not as easy to
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: process when you're the guy, you know, a ground level,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: and so any of it really good execution, great play
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: call flowers for everybody on that play. The offense start
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: with click Kobe, give him flowers. The offensive line flowers. Uh,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: And then you know, I wouldn't give a bunch of
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: flowers to the receivers. They didn't get open. But that's
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: not because there's anything they could do. Sometimes, you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: if you don't win in man, then you can kind
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: of put it on receivers. But there's some zone concepts
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: where you say, I don't care who you are. You
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: could take Jerry Rice in his prime, you know Nuki's Xbox.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: You know, rating up by fifty percent and he's still
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: not getting open against.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: That zone coverage. Yeah yeah, right, and.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: And and so that's what you had. But but anyways,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: getting the check down probably too much time. But cool, No,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I think it's great. You know, I'm glad you mentioned
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: that it looks good.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing that the All twenty two which you study,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you know, in an amazing fashion and detailed fashion. You know,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the three hundred level cameras, end zone, high, high middle,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: all those things. You see. There's a lot of times
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: when things do look really easy and and you're like, oh,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: why why didn't you just throw it here? Why didn't
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: you just do that? You mentioned you've been there. You've,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: unlike most of us, Humellan has taken snaps in the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: National Football League as an NFL quarterback, a lot of them.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: And I've been lucky enough to be on a field
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: for a lot of games, especially early on when I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: came back here covering that team, especially in the early
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen fourteen seasons when we were their partner.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: We were down there all the time, and I think
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: people would be amazed. It's one thing to be down
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: there for warm ups. They let a lot of people
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: do that. You go, hey, down there for warm ups,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you see and you see the athletes and see how
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: big and fast and strong, they're like whoa. When you're
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: on the field and you are watching a game, even
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I think, if you're talking about big time college football,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: you right, like, you know, like SOFTI would tell you this,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to be down there on the field and to look
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and see. And I've stayed, I've stood in the end
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: zones many times. I'm like, I don't know how a quarterback?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: How do you do it? Like it's an amazing phenomenon.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: The you know, you always have about gumming it up
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and the muck and you know and all that kind
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Dirty pocket is dirty pocket and all those things.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: And to have the wherewithal knowing that not just the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: games on the line, as Donald had right there, not
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: just the game, but bigger issues like home field advantage,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: winning a division, you're going to get to the playoffs.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Everyone knew they were ninety nine percent chance to get
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs before that game, they're going to get in.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But that game had massive, massive ramifications, all those things
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: going on primetime football and all that, and for him,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: as you said, to have the patience, because I think
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you're right, a lot of I'm watching that play again,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of well, I'm just going to throw it
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to charge and yeah, and you know what, he's not
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: getting in. But I did my job. I didn't get sacked.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: You know I didn't. I didn't whatever. It's up to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Charby like he no, he waited, had the patience and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the wherewithal. That takes a lot. Man, That takes a
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: lot for a dude to do well.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: I think this, and I'll close with this thought because
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: on the two interceptions, those are bad interceptions. The first one,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: you got a double slant concept. Outside of of the
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: in line tight end, they go two D five hundred
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: disguise slot defender, like if he doesn't reduce and collapse it,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: you can't throw to the widest like that's a high
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: school level like no, no, right, all right, So I
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: am not excusing that interception whatsoever. Is basically a pick six.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And then the other one was a cover zero a
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: man a man no free safety, but they dropped out
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: two defensive line a in a rat concept to be underneath.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: It's the identical coverage that Leonard Williams had the ninety
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: two yard pick six against Aaron Rodgers last week. Identical
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: cover zero double rat that's my terminology. It's the same coverage,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: and so you can see that guy really easy on
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: the TV. But when to his left because the center
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: was going right, there was a there was three three
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: defend defenders rushing against the left guard and left tackle
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: was all collapsing him. That's five human beings. I don't
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: know which one got in his vision. I could, I
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: could probably guess, but one of those guys got in
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: of those five guys got in his vision. A didn't
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: see him, And I would say it's both difficult, as
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: evidence by Aaron Rodgers and Darnald throwing those interceptions, but
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: it must be done. If you can't if you can't
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: do that, you can't play. So those are terrible interceptions.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: But here's the part. At that point when he threw
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: that second interception, his passer rating for the game was
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: fifty one point one and his expected points at average
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: we've discussed negative point four to nine per play for
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: the game. What's that context? You say, I don't know
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: what the hell that means. The very best in the
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: NFL's Matthew Stafford is point twenty four positive point two four.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: The worst is negative point two four. So okay, he
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: was negative point four to nine at that junction in
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: the game. But from that point on he had to
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: dig deep find all the metal. With all of the
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: everything the way to the stadium coming down on him,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: he still had a game to win. And from that
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: point on he had one hundred and thirty seven passer
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: rating and a point nine to eight EP eight. What
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: did I say the best was point two four. He
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: quadrupled the best rate from that point on. And to
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: do that after you feel like the biggest freaking turd
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: in all of the state of Washington and all the
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: stink guy and you got new teammates and like, maybe
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: this guy really can't freaking do like all this pressure
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: and for him to have the guts to make some
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: of those throws, to come back and do that. Man, hey,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: I wish it was Pat Mahomes, you know, I wish
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: it was John Eli Cut whatever it's not. But I
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: can appreciate when a guy gave you a gutty freaking
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: performance and he's got thirty nine starts and he's won
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: seventy seven percent of those. That is not an insignificant
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: period of time.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Great stuff you you're on with Softy today, right, I
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah, three o'clock with Sophty more Melon will

  Speaker 3: I'm good? Ian, how are you?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I'm good. Jessman's fixing my signature right now on my
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: email address.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Oh that's what you're doing. I was like, man, they're concentrating.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Danny, you know this process? Well, Jess can you help me?
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I would say that my one my yeah, what my one?
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: My one thing that I accomplished is that I was
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: I was the most technologically savvy the three people on
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: my show.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Well, that bar is very low. My god, that bar
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: is low, like.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: The best sushi and Iowa.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tallest short person. I get it.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I got it exactly exactly.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well the X linebacker, I'm he'd be at the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: bott well, actually the other guy bottom, not at the bottom.
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: He runs laps around, He runs laps around the go to.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Guys by the way, shout out to Dave. He listens
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: to this segment every week too, So probably want me
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to tell people that. But slits up, lineman. How you doing, buddy?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: All right? Danny? What the hell happened last night? I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: can't believe what I just saw. That that was. That
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: was jack buck like stuff.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: That was a Hello game.
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: And if you if you sort of take don't even
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: go the hyper analytic wins.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: What does it mean long term?
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: It was a hell of a game and there were
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: so many different twists and turns. The Seahawks start out
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: that opening drive touchdown. Yeah, like the first first half
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: of the first quarter. It looks like Seattle has come
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: out there loaded for bear.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: They stop them on fourth down.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they punch it into the end zone.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Then it kind of goes quiet.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: Then you have this nightmare third quarter, and I as
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: you have, if you have followed this team with any
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: kind of diligence over the past twenty years, you're aware
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: that they've played some truly insane football games.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: I can't remember.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: A game that changed as suddenly as this one did,
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: where you went from feeling like, Okay, Sam Donald can't
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: be the quarterback for this team next year.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: What did I just watch? I can't believe that just happened.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: And then two minutes later in real time, you're like, well,
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: it's like that interception never really even happened.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Then they've got to score tied. It was a crazy,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: crazy game.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I've we've all seen a lot over the years that
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that was that was the top. I mean, the fail
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Mary obviously was crazy, you know, but I think, you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I think go back the the NFC Championship game against
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the Packers is the closest thing I can think of. Yes,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: because when you think so, because that was the I mean,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you had to have the Gary Gilliam touchdown reception from
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: John Ryan. Yes, I said that correctly, you had to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: have the crazy two point conversion right, and and mix Wilson,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the crazy run by Marshawn to get us to that point,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the on side kick, and then you win the toss.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: You face a third and eight, third and six I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: think it was, and he throws to Doug right Russell
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: was a Doug and then a guy that had had
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: like four balls go through his hands for interceptions, and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse runs a post route and you win it.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: That's the only one I can think of. And now
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that I think of it, that was insane as well.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I went and looked at it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: So in that game, Seattle was down twelve with about
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: five minutes to go, and Russ had just gotten.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Picked for the fourth time. All four picks came on
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: throws to Curse.
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: Yep, two I would say were on Russ too.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Were the ball coming off a Curse's hands.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: The one difference I would say, because I mean in
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: terms of stakes, that's for a Super Bowl berth that
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: the time left on the clock you needed that insane
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: on side kick that Brandon Bostick tried to catch. God
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: Brandon Bostick's name is forever emblazoned.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Upon my brain.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Packers fans as well have his name there too.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: The one difference I would say is even if Seattle
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: lost that game, there wasn't a feel like Russell was established,
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: Like you would have felt like, Okay, this team went
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: on a run. Yeah, almost got back to the super Bowl, right,
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: There wasn't any sort of underlying uncertainty about the team.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: If the Seahawks had lost that game last night, I
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: think we all know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And even with them winning, I'm not.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: Going to tell you that everybody believes everything's fine with
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald. Although that throw he made a Cooper Cup
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: in overtime, that is, both the difficulty of the throw
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: and the fact that he was about to get bludgeoned
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: when he threw it were remarkable. But there's a lot
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: on the line and there were two really bad interceptions
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: that kind of exhibit exhibited a little.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Bit of the flaw that we've seen in Donald.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: But I give him a lot of credit, man, because
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: he came back after that and he was really good
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: on that overtime time.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I just it's what makes I mentioned this earlier, is
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: this is the most simplistic thing in the world. This
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: is this is the hard hardcore fans get on this show.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: That's what makes sports great. Is a game like that,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: and that that really you had no business winning a
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: lot of different times, if for no other reason. The
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks for four hundred and fifty yards, for God's sakes,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: against what's supposed to be the best defense in the NFL,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and you know it, just stuff happens in football. Stuff
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: happens in the NFL. But none of those things. You
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: split two games with the team that you have a
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: seven to one turnover differential against you in like that,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Just all these things happened. I think we saw, frankly
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the two best teams in the NFC, and I think
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: a close number three might be San Francisco. Despite the injuries,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the ending. They're all in the same damn division.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It's a hell of a It is
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: an incredible division. It's going to be wild to see
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: what is going to happen.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: From here, because I don't care what happens to San
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: Francisco either this weekend Monday when they play Indianapolis. Next
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: week they've got Chicago. I think Seattle's absolutely going to
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: have to win that regular season finale against San Francisco
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: to win the division because they can't finish tied with
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: the Rams.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: If they finish tied with anybody for the division, they're
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: going to lose the tiebreaker. I would like to give
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: a tip.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Of the cap to the ongoing influence of the end
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: Zone of Destiny, the place where j Feeley's field golds.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: Fluttered, where Golden Pate grabbed that pass, Where where Tony
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: Romo bobbled the snap, or cham Chancellor knocked loose mumble
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: from Calvin.
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: Johnson and kJ Wright batted it out of the.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: End zone, should which should have given the ball back
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: to Detroit but didn't.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe but it didn't. We're just gonna sometimes that's the
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: way games.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Go, right, Yes, I'm glad you mentioned you know what
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: your favorite that is the end zone of what do
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you call it? The end zone of destiny?
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: The end zone of destiny where sometimes a pass that
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: bounces off somebody's helmet might be retrieved by Vax Charbonay,
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: who kirk Herbstreet will say showed great hustle.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: But we all know he was just picking it up.
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: So some seventy year old official didn't.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Ask it, That's all he did, and he barely picked
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: it up. He just let Yeah. I mean, the crazy
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: thing is what if he you know, like if the
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: balls lying on the like outside the goal line and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: he picks it up, it's it doesn't matter. It doesn't
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: count then, right unless he like holds it, unless he
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: What would happen if you would have picked it up
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: outside the goal line. I hate hypotheticals, but hypotheticals, but
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: It would not have counted. He needed to have it
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: in the end zone.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Because the play would have been dead.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: Would because the only reason that's right, Yeah, a continuous action.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Right, And I know that people have gotten.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: Upset and said, oh, there was a whistle and it
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: should have been dead at that moment. That's not that's
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: actually not how Yeah, those things are are officiated. But
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: if zax Sharbonay is not in the end zone when
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: he picks it up, it wouldn't have counted.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Like it only because continuous action. End zone of destiny, baby.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: End zone of destiny, ladies and gentlemen, it's the end
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: zone of destiny. Ah, Danny, what a what a night?
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Huh what a night? That's it's and and now if
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: nothing else, there's playoff games. You know the thing I
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: was thinking too, Luminfield, Danny came alive again this year,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: which is cool, Like Leuinfield came alive again. And I
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: was thinking last night when they're down, what a bummer
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: this will be if it's the last game of the year,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And it sure looked like it was gonna be the
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: last game of the year in that building for a
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: good chunk of the game. The fact that they could
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: get home field advantage now and when the division changes
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: that because a year ago, Danny, we were talking about
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: how what happened to Lumenfield, not just the record, but
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: what happened to the Lumenfield advantage? Why are people selling
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: their tickets? And that isn't the case this year. Man,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: It's back, and it's back in a big way, and
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: that's fun to see. Tell people about the Dang Apostrophe, sir.

• 36:59
  Speaker 1: really cool stuff. But we were talking and we can
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: have people comment. Let's get frivolous and just let's get
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: a little light for a minute, right, four nine four
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: or five one. That is the still unrestricted free agent
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: text line today. It's sponsored by Simply Seattle, Simply Seattle
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: dot com. Did you like the uniforms or not? Four nine,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: four or five one? Maybe you like the helmets and
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: not the uniforms. Maybe you like the uniforms and not
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: the helmets. Four nine four or five one. We'll get
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: to those now. I think people like them a lot
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: more because they won. That's one hundred percent the case,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: because we have a history in this town of not
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: winning games in alternate jerseys. Yeah. I'll give you an example.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Our friends the hockey team one win in one win
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in jerseys that were not the normal way homer Away,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: normal normal homer Away. That one win was winter class.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: And I think the only word once or twice after that, correct,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: which I think is the best uniform. It is the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: best uniform. It is the best. The new one this
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: year over the previous like jersey. Yeah, I like the jersey, yeah,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: because I haven't won in them. The previous whatever alternate
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: one they had a couple of years ago, didn't win.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Seahawks Remember the first time they came out in the
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: fluorescent highlight of greens. I hate didn't win. Yeah. Now
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: they've won a couple since, but they don't. It seems
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: like and I think bad things have happened in those uniforms. Yes, right,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: injuries and so forth. Yes, the color rush. So last night,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: maybe you can live with it because they won. If
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't have won, I think we might have a
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: different response before. Look wise, Yeah, I want to know.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I'm curious. Did they look like the Ducks to you?
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: No?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: So they did to me. Were you there in person?
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: No?
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I was not. I watched on TV. Remember I had
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: a hockey game, so they looked more gray than I remember.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I don't mind the gray color. It's the shoulders yea,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: and the numbers and that. Now I'm not offended by
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: it because I don't hate the ducks.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: People.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: I thought this is a safe topic with you. I
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: kind of like the Ducks because other people don't.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I hate the Ducks too, I still like the jerseys. Yeah,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: so your thoughts four, nine, four or five one fire away.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: We'll get to those coming up at two thirty today,
• 39:01

• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Here's Ian just on the front page here of the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: World City Spectrum. I think there was a little bit
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: of consternation yesterday yesterday yesterday over the local newspaper of record,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and they're placing of stories and so forth. There is
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: an alternative out there. If such a thing does make
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: you upset, or if you just want great, great local coverage,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: our friend Corbyn Smith, Emerald City Spectrum, Seahawks rapid Reaction,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: halftime observations, Husky's transfer portal all there on the front
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: page above the fold on the website if you want
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: to look at it that way. Gonzaga is out there
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: as well. Story on Josh Jones, which proved to be
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: pretty good foreshadowing because he played well yesterday for the
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Seahawks as well, Storm expansion draft, Kirby Moore story Cracking
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Struggling right now, all there on the front page of
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: the Emerald City Spectrum. Hi, corbyin how are you? I'm good.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: I'm still trying to. You know, as a reporter, I
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: don't know that I've ever had the feeling.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: That I have had today.
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: That was the crazy game I've covered in the ten
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: years that I've been doing this. I mean it just
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: some people have asked me, they like, why isn't there
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: another story. It's like, because I had to rewrite my
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: entire postgame thing after the press conferences were done, Like
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: it was insane. I had the worst game story ever
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: because of how things played out those last twenty minutes
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: or so.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's that's what happens right when you
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a great thing about sports is it
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: can be a nightmare for a sports writer. I think
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: of my friend Ryan Divisch always complaining when the Mariners
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: do things like that. NFL's a little feels like the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: NFL a lot of times, a little more predictable. That
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't the case last night. It was just out of
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: control in a lot of different ways. And lo and behold,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks get to win improbable in a lot of
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: different ways. The only game I can think of brought
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: we brought this up earlier, corbytt was and this was
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: before your time, but twenty fourteen, the twenty fourteen NFC
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Championship game, the twenty fourteen postseason, but it was twenty
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: fifteen January eighteenth, twenty fifteen. But the Green Bay Packers
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks NFC Title Game twenty eight twenty two. Seattle
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: wins that game in overtime, and the improbability of that
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: was pretty close to what we saw yesterday. Stakes maybe
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: a little higher with the Super Bowl, but the stakes
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: yesterday were damn high as well.
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and you know, my counter argument for you know,
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: when you're comparing those two the Seahawks started their comeback
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: in that game in the third quarter. That was when
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: John Ryan made that touchdown pass to Gary Gallium. They
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: had they had one hundred and seventy two games in
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: their franchise history, they had been down fifteen or more
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: points in the fourth quarter. They were oh in one
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: seventy two and that is now one and was seventy two.
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: Like that's how improbable this was. And and it's not
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: just the fact they raced the lead. I mean the
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: the bizarre plays that happened, that two point conversion on
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: the lateral, which that was the right call. I mean,
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: it was the right reversal. They had the perfect overhead
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: angle of it. But I don't know if we'll ever
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: see that happen in an NFL game again, Like that
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: might be a once in a lifetime thing that happened
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: last night to tie that football game up. It just
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: it was flat out insane that from the fourth quarter
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: the eight eighteen mark two overtime ending with a two
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: point conversion. Eric Salbert of all people, being the one
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: to catch that. I mean it, this game had.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Everything you're looking for.
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: And like you canna understand why people are hoping there's
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: a third one coming in the postseason between these two teams.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Let me get real quick to the news. So Derek
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Hall is suspended for the next game for stepping on
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Kevin Dotson offense guard for the Rams. I think he's
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: gonna appeal, So he's suspended for that for the next game.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Some issues on the secondary with Wolan and Kobe Bryant.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Correct So even worry, I guess would have come back
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: in the game. How banged up are these guys right now?
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: Well, my understanding is that Rake Wollan's injury is one
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: that they're very concerned about, and the fact that they
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: get a mini buy is going to help that situation.
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: Kobe Bryant is gonna probably be one that we have
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: to watch now. I don't know if that's when that
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: he misses a game or two, or he potentially misses
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: start of the postseason. That one is more murky, But
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: basically what I have been told, the Woolen injury is
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: not one that they are very concerned about. And Nick
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: even Warrey cleared through concussion protocol last night, So if
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: they would have had to play another drive he would
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: have been on the field. So I think they got
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: they're fairly fortunate there, and I guess the good news
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: is if Kobe Bryant does have to miss time, kaya
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: Kata has played out standing football this year. And oh,
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: by the way, they've got it four of a three
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: time pro bowler on their practice squad. Quadre Diggs is
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: waiting in the wings too, so they've got bodies there
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: if they have to try to weather the storm here
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: for the last few weeks there.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Cor But I think that also underscores the importance of
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: trying to get that number one seed and that first round.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: By it's great to avoid any playoffs, you know, an
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: extra playoff game, just from a wins and losses standpoint,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: because we're going through this. Charles Cross is still out
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: of the hamstring. I mean, they have some injuries. Tory
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Horton is still out. They got the roster move they
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: can make with him at some point if need be.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: But isn't that why in the end, when it's all
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: said and done, you kind of need to buy as
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: if for no other reason, get some guys healthy.
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and also, you know, you and I actually had
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: talked about this earlier. They only have one injured reserve
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: active activation left for the rest of the regular season.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: They do have two in the.
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: Playoffs, so Elijah Royo would be a candidate in the
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: postseason to be activated because Week eighteen would be the
• 46:41
  Speaker 8: last week that he has to sit out, so they
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: could have a Royo back for the playoffs. But I
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: think that's you know, Mike McDonald basically hinted this last
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: night that I think the reason that they were thinking
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: about going for two that entire time is, yeah, we
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: could tie and we can still win the NFC West.
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: But if we tie this game and then both teams
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: win their last two games, we get a wild card.
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: So it's like we're going to be a playoff team
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: most likely anyway.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: So let's go.
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: Let's go for that number one seed, Let's go for
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: the division. And I honestly, when they were driving down
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: the field, we were talking about the press box, and
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: I told a couple of other reporters, I said, there's
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: no question online if I'm getting down there, if I score,
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: I'm going for it.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: And that was my rationale at that point.
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: And as soon as Smith and Jigbas scored that touchdown,
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: you saw Sam Darnold immediately waving two over to Mike
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: McDonald and he signed off on it like that. That
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: clearly was something that they had planning for at that point.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Like we are going to go, We're going for it
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: Now, we've got an opportunity to send this team into
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: second place and give ourselves.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: An edge here these last few weeks. Let's go take
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: advantage of it. Corbyn Smith joining a central C spectrum.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: How improbable is it? Five hundred and eighty one yards
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: allowed to the red and losing the turnover battle three
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: to nothing? How improbable is that win?
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: It was again, if you would have asked me at
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: like the eight to twenty mark in the fourth quarter
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: last night, I thought it was going to be like.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: A thirty point loss.
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: It just felt like it was one of those where
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: everything was unraveling and the Rams are going to find
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: a way to score one more time, and this guy.
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: It just it didn't feel like there was any chance
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: the Seahawks are getting back in that game, even though
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: it was only a two score game technically at that point.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: But the yards they'd given up, and this is what's crazy, Ian,
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: they had given up fifty two explosive pass plays in
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: the first fourteen games, that was the second fewest in
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: the NFL. They gave up ten last night in one
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: game to the Rams and they won. If you would
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: have told me they gave up ken explosion, like oh man,
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: they got ran out of their own building, and it
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: looked like that might be where it's trending by Rashid Shahid,
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: Josh Snyder doing it again. Just going out and getting
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: a guy like that happens when you get a dynamic
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: player and you move him from a bad team to
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: a good team. You can now see the kind of
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: talent that that kid brings to the table, and that
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: that punt return just completely As the players talked about it,
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: the coaches talked about everything, that was the play that
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: completely changed everything and got that building awakened again.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that were complaining about
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: that trade, saying the Seahawks paid too much. I think
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: if for no reason, yesterday was good enough. I mean,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: that's the investment is already secured.
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: Ian he's Percy Harvin without the baggage.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: That's what he is.
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: He is a explosive guy that you can use in
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: the run game. I mean that thirty one yard run
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: he had last night was huge too, that play and
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: actually was looking at a couple of pictures and you
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: could see Sean McVeigh behind him in the pictures and
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: McVeigh just had a very concern to look on his face.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: When that run was taking place, like, oh, no, this.
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: Is not really happening, and Shaheed was you know, those
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: are really the only two plays he made all night,
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: but they were massive. A guy like that that can
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: just get you an explosive anytime the football is in
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: his hands. He's the fourth player in franchise history to
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: have a kickoff and punt return for a.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Touchdown the Saint season. No, by the way, he's done
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: it in a.
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: Three game span, I think it's safe to say those
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: fourth and fifth rounders that were sent to New Orleans
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: that was a price well paid. And he's just making
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: it even more obvious to me that he's got to
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: be a priority to resign, just as they do with
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: Leonard Williams and Ernest Jones after deadline trades the last
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: few years. Make it that that is not just a rental.
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: And then those fourth and fifth rounders at that point
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: is like, oh, that.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Was a bargain. Corvin Smith joining us. I want to
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I want to just touch it a little bit on
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald for a second. And most of the time
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: when we're throwing bouquet is the way of Mike McDonald's
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: because his defense is so elite and complex and hard
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: to break down if you're an opposing offense and just
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: the defensive mastermind that is Mike McDonald the head coach.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I want to go a different direction today. And because
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: the defense we just talked about, the defense wasn't good yesterday.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: It just flat out was not good yesterday. And it
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: had a game and they went against an offense it's
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: mass Stafford who was up and down field. Now, they
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: were good against them the first game. Stafford threw for
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: less thanwo hundred yards in the first meeting of the year.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: But yesterday they just weren't good. But I heard Richard
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Sherman yesterday in the post game and he was talking
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: about Pete Carroll and this is what bothers me about Pete.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: On a side note, Gorman, is what bothers me about
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Pete coaching right now with that disaster of an organization
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: is the legacy of Pete, I think is being tarnished
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: every time he's on the sideline with the Raiders, because
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll in his prime was ahead of his time
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: and how he got guys motivated, how he got guys
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: put guys in positions that maybe didn't fit the norm
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, but it fit what they had and
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: it worked, and he got him to win. He got
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: them to believe, you know, And that was the brilliance
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: of Pete and maybe the brilliance of any really good
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: head coach. I thought that was Mike McDonald last night.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Like you just said, I thought the same thing. I
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: thought they were gonna get I mean, I'm doing a
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: hockey broadcast with one eye on the football game, one
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: on the hockey game, and I'm like, this thing's over,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Like they're gonna get their doors blown off. I'm trying
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: to think, how are we gonna talk about this on Friday?
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: And the team just they never quit. And I think
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: that's a testament to the coach. Yeah, and all you gotta.
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: Do is just see you know, the one thing that
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: I wasn't he couldn't do it. But I was wondering
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: just on some of the video footage and stuff in
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: the press conference, like I was wondering, was Mike McDonald
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: going to be able to head coach, Was he going
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: to be able to come in and command the locker room.
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: Was he going to be the guy that was going
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: to be able to get everybody to follow him? And
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: then you watched the postgame talk yesterday and and this
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: has been evident for quite some time now, but just
• 52:50
  Speaker 8: seeing how fired up he was, and I was thinking, like,
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: this is a guy that doesn't have to be like
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: verbally super fired up because the dudes jacked Like when
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: he when he walked into the locker room, You're like,
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: that guy looks like a head coach, Like he looks
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: like a commander. And so the guys have just really
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: gravitated to him. And he has just you know, he's
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: taken Pete Carroll's culture.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: And he's put his own spin on it.
• 53:15
  Speaker 8: And I think you can go back to OTA's when
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: they were having like ninety seven percent participation rate in OTAs,
• 53:22
  Speaker 8: like that's unheard of in today's NFL, but guys.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Wanted to be there.
• 53:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that speaks volumes to what Mike McDonald is building
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: here and now it is translating into the best record
• 53:34
  Speaker 8: in the NFC, and they got two more games to
• 53:37
  Speaker 8: get that number one seed, which if they do that,
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: historically that bodes well for them. They've had three times
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: they've had the number one seed, all three times they've
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: gotten to the Super Bowl.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Listen. Yeah, and I think that's a massively good points
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: all the way around. I mean this, just what they're
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: doing right now is amazing on a lot of levels.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: And it's a team that you know, I think when
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: you and I talked in the preseason and we're going
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: through offseason, I think we both thought they'd be pretty good, right,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: we both thought they'd be pretty good football team. And
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: I had him at twelve and five. Yeah, and I
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: want to say I think, I think, I think, I know.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I wrote down eleven and six and I thought they'd
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: be a playoff team. I thought the eleven and six
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: and I thought, and I did say this, Andrews, you'll
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: back me up. I thought eleven and six and what
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I thought would be the best conference in football, our
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: best division in football, and it's proven to be that.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I thought Arizona might be a little better. But I
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: always think they are a kind of a paper tiger
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: that people Arizona to me, is Cal football after the
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: one time they beat they beat UC and Pete Carroll
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and then like Jeff ted forgot all this love, Like
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: oh Cal, they never did anything again, but they got
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of love for While Arizona went to the
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: playoffs three years ago, they haven't done it since. They're
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: never gonna do with Kyler again. But the rest of
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: the division is damn good. And I think that's why
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: we're sitting where we are right now. Let's handicap what's
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: coming ahead, because what's coming ahead Carolina, you should win,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: but they're playing for their playoff lives. Is the last
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: game though of the year against the forty nine ers,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: is that it is that for the NFC West.
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: I think that you know, you can't overlook Caroline. I mean,
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: they beat the Rams a couple of weeks ago. They're
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: so up and down you don't know what you're gonna
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: get with them, But they're still very much playing for
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: the NFC South title. So they've got a lot on
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: the line coming into that game next weekend. But man,
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: that that game in week eighteen, if the forty nine
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: ers take care of business these next couple of weeks,
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: that game is gonna be for the NFC West and
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: the number one seed in the conference. And that's just
• 55:30
  Speaker 8: that tells you how dang good this NFC West. Is
• 55:33
  Speaker 8: the fact that last night we just saw we thought
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: are the two best teams in the NFC and it's like, oh,
• 55:38
  Speaker 8: by the way, the forty nine ers, they're they're only
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: a game out and they could pass.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Both these teams. Still like that's I don't know that
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I remember a division.
• 55:46
  Speaker 8: There could be three twelve win teams this division and
• 55:50
  Speaker 8: all of them have Even with the injuries San Francisco's had,
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: San Francisco could still make a deep run in the postseason.
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: They're so well coached and they do a great job
• 56:01
  Speaker 8: developing young players. Robert Salas done a great job back
• 56:04
  Speaker 8: with that defense. With some of the injuries they've had,
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: it's just, yeah, that game is looking like it's gonna
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: be massive. Seahawks fans should be rooting for Philip Rivers
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: this weekend. And oh, keep the old man, yep, the
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: old Man can pull off an upset against San Francisco.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: That's the Monday night game. By the way, you can
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: actually a hoad round nine point fifty on the AMDL
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: on Monday Night. Here courtesy of Westwood One corbyin great
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: stuff as always final thing for you. Did you like
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: the uniforms or not? And I say this to a
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: guy that shows up in the press box in lime
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: green suits and others all the time. So I'm asking
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: you yes or no on the thumbs up thumbs down
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: on the uniforms.
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: You know, I know this is going to sound like
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: a disappointing answer. I'm gonna do thumb sideways because I
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: liked the helmets a lot. As the game went on,
• 56:53
  Speaker 8: they grew on me. And seeing that the radiating green
• 56:57
  Speaker 8: popping off of it, the jersey and the pants left
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: something to be desired for me, I would have rather
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: have just been like, oh, let's just bring back the
• 57:05
  Speaker 8: regular wolf gray uniforms to go with this helmet.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: And I guess you could keep the.
• 57:09
  Speaker 8: That you know, that radiating green number, but esthetically it
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: was to me it was meth.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will. I'm gonna throw this out there, Hey,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Chuck Arnold, because I know he's Chuck listens all the time,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: big listener of the show, Seahawk President, Just do what
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: the fans want. Andrews is wearing the hat right now.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Go to Royal blue, be done with it. Everyone loves away.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: Everyone loves my suggestion.
• 57:35
  Speaker 8: This is my suggestion, bring back, bring back the original
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: uniforms and colors, but with the modern logo that all
• 57:44
  Speaker 8: that makes everybody happy. And then and have an alternate
• 57:47
  Speaker 8: that is an apple green jersey that is not going
• 57:50
  Speaker 8: to be as some people think the action green is obnoxious.
• 57:53
  Speaker 8: I am not in that category. I love it, but
• 57:56
  Speaker 8: the apple green is not going to be quite as Yeah,
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: what is you know, obnoxious for some fans. So I
• 58:03
  Speaker 8: think you can make everybody happy doing that.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Again, this is my buddy that wears the most flamboyant
• 58:10

• 59:26
  Speaker 1: A lot of texts four nine four or five one.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm surprised by these answers unrestricted free agent text
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: I can't even get them all in. What surprises you
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: before we start reading something.
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: I honestly thought everyone hated the jerseys and I was
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: kind of alone on the island of you know, I
• 59:42
  Speaker 6: I don't love them, but I I kind of like it.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I like the new look, Kathleen, hate the new uniforms,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: but they're not as bad as the Steelers. Okay, Well, yeah,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: that's like Danie O'Neil telling us that he was the
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: smartest guy technology technically on his old show Across the Street.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: It's a very very low bar. I love my guy
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: whining and go to but yeah, Danny great one than
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: those two. One of them went to Stanford. But I
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: don't know how to do anything. Last night's uniform sucked.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Dump them. The helmets were amazing, went from green to
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: blue as it got darker, looks silver from a distance.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Somehow they all hit the team colors one helmet. Did
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: that happen? I didn't notice that.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 6: No, it's it's just a certain angle that it had
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 6: based on the lighting. And I have the helmets are awesome, Yeah,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 6: really really cool helmets. And I'm a huge fan of
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: Wolf grayze As were actually my favorite jerseys back in
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: the day. Yeah, and I had that's the one. I
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: have one Seahawks jersey. I do have so and I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: hate the Ducks. So I kind of a little bit
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 6: pulled on both sides of this. But I don't know,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 6: it just seems like I like the new look again.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 6: I'm with you. I think with the throwback hat, you
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: could easily just go blue throwback and then white throwback.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: Go back to those colors and everyone would be happy.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: But you know, I don't mind the new look for sure.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: I do like the helmets a lot. I bring this
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: up just tell something a little lighted.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about the game enough today and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Softy has got a huan for his whole show today,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: so they'll know softiing Dick both hate the uniforms. Oh
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: did they? Yes? Just because well here's this one thumbs
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: down on the uniforms. Raised as a Husky, I can't
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: ignore the Oregon look. I like the helmet. The only
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: problem with the helmet is it reminds me of those
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: terrible uniforms. But after yesterday, they wore them during one
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: of the best wins in team history, so I can't
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: fully hate on them. I guess do you aware of
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: them in the Super Bowl? Is my question? And they're
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: not going to do now. It's actually I don't know
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: who the home team is issues, so I'll have to
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: check that out. Love anytime the Hawks rock Low Rock Green,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: including last night. They win when they do too.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, two six. The uniforms grew on me. I bought
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: a jas and rivalry jersey in the stadium before the game.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: I think they look better in person, which is interesting
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 6: because I actually almost liked them more on TV because
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 6: it's more gray on TV than kind of looks more
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 6: white in person. But yeah, yeah, yeah, love last night's unis.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: I bought one. Still prefer the action green, which the
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Hawks are five and one in. So haters need to
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: pipe down. Let's see. Do I like these new uniforms personally,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. Wanted our logo to be more
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: prominent for one thing, and the new color beetle green,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: is interesting. Yeah. It looks like a mashup of the
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Organ Ducks in the Philadelphia Eagles connection. We're all birds. Yeah,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: that is a good connection there to Eagle and duck
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: are real birds. Yeah, two five to three.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: So I hated the new uniforms from day one because
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 6: they look just like the Ducks. Once I stopped thinking
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: about the Ducks aspect, I loved them and I worked
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 6: on the sideline as a camera reporter.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: They are clean in person. In person, I think sometimes
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: jerseys and uniforms look way different in person. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: I like the jersey and know why their jerseys get
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of hate. Says the four two five. Then
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: someone else Jerseys had a puke sign sex look like
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: the Zeros. Yeah, well see, I understand the Ducks say.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: It's a very mixed reaction. Yeah, it was very mixed.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 6: I honestly thought everyone hated them, like because from from
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 6: the response that I've seen everyone that I've talked to,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: including our Lovely Afternoon Show. In a minute, yeah, well
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: we'll catch up with them in a minute. By the way,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 6: I saw a text earlier. I can't read it for
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 6: baiting because there's a lot of response from the Jersey thing,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 6: but I have to reminisce it Farrow fire Away. They said,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 6: for every factor fiction picked, anger Andrews gets wrong next year,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: you have to force him to work on Softy in
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 6: Dick's show. Wow, and I would be like, that's like
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: the worst punishment you could get.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: That's like a lot, that's like, that's a lot of pressure.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: That's like Sam Darnold, I'm going for two point version
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: series every pick. I know, I know the go back
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: to Chris said Corbyn, just do what the people want.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: You know what, I've never seen a negative thought on
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 6: the Royal Blue, absolutely not. People love that and just
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: how cool would a white version of that?
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Somebody pointed out here on this a couple of people
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: pointed out that they like the Rams uniforms, and the
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Rams kind of have gone back to the old Rams. Yes,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: and those are kind of clean. They are kind nice. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: I use kids trying to you know, it's that clean.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I use the term clean clean. Yeah, they're clean. No,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: I might do on the Rams though. I think the
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 6: more they lean in kind of their older colors, I
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: think it looks better.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: See they went to because he used to have that
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: kind of royal darker ballue the dark baby. Yeah. But
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the worst thing is when they played in
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis in those uniforms in the darkest building in sports,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I know. O lord, it was where they told you
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: when to cheer. Remember the Rams rules? Do you remember that?
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: I do not? Oh so good. I never traveled there
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: last year or two. Well, we made fun of on
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: the air even here. The last couple of years there
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: they had things called Rams rules where they told the
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: fans when to cheer, when to get up when. It's
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: just it was because it was such an apathetic family
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: and in a lot of ways.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: Do you see mcvay's press conference after the game, Well,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: I saw the stuff with Puka. Yeah, is that you're
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 6: talking about? Yeah, got a little testy with the reporters.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess in in in mcveigh's defense, he's probably
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: clueless for people to know. I guess app who can
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: needs to really just put the phone down. Yeah, and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: stop with anything that doesn't involve catching a football. I mean,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: because he's really good at that. He's really good at that.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: The rest of things that he's done lately, he's not
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: very good. Not very good social media, not good at all,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: live streaming, live streaming with whoever those guys are? Who
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: are those guys? I don't even I didn't see it,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: to be honest, But whether you offended people or not,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: just why Yeah. Actually, the one question the reporter asked
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: I thought was pretty good. It's like, you know, they
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: were on your property in a short week? Is that okay?
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: And McVeigh bristled, but they said, well, look at the
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: numbers he put up, which.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: Is true, Which is true he put up, Pug Well,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: and then he looks at the PR guy was like,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: is that true?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: They were they on our property? The guy's like, well,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: they're in the parking lot, and he's like like, alsoid
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: you could hit the nervousness for the PR guy. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: you know. That's the thing is that, like our guy here,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: mister Pearson, I don't think there's ever been a coach
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: has gone to the podium and been unprepared. They those
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: whether it's Pete, Mike maybe more because he didn't listen
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: to anybody, but let's just say Pete and Mike. Harry
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Wright was mostly Mike's guy though, but Pete and then
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: certainly Uh, and there's Pete at the end our home
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: room at the end with with Dave, uh, and now
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: with with Mike McDonald. They they they wouldn't have been
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: caught off guard. No, like like if if what's going on?
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: If JSN had tweeted out referee sock blah blah blah
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: something like that, Like I can guarantee you that whether
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: it be Jeff or rich or Chris, they would have
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: or Dave, that four man PR staff, which is as
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: good as it gets, those dudes would have told Mike
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: McDonald and he would have been ready for the questions
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: what's going on?
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: McVeigh was so caught off guard, and then that's what
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: made him mad, Like he's loses emotional game and then
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: he gets hey, you're you're you're wide receiver who you've
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: talked way too much about doing stuff other than football.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: This week, just tweeted out how bad the officiating is
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. My god, what do you think? And
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: theyn're like, there's like four follow ups? Is that a distraction?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: This week? I give those guys a crond of credit. Man,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: they went right out and did go right out it man,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: highly entertained.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 6: It seems like mcvay's a type of coach that kind
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 6: of like, hey, ask me whatever you want.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I don't care, I'll answer. I think there's a little
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: give and take with him, which is good. Yes, which
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: is fine. It was pretty funny, all of us funny.

• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: But holy sign in front says, we have weather through
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: many changes over the years, become increasingly harder for a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: small businesses to survive, let alone thrive.

  Speaker 1: were you yesterday?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 10: Well I walked out when Sam threw that pick to Turner,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 10: and I said, let's change the vibe up and go
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 10: over to Jimmy's and see what's going on there. So
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 10: we watched the rest of the game of Jimmy's. It
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 10: was a lot like the Packer games. I was gonna say,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 10: there's a precedent for this. Yeah, Well, the Packer game
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 10: was different. It was down nineteen to seven with two
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 10: and a half minutes to go, and we walked out
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 10: of our seats and we are literally walking towards the
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 10: door to leave to go home, and everything started happening.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 10: And so Gina and I watched the entire game on
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 10: a little monitor in the hallway at Loomenfield, which was
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 10: back then it was a quest central. The clink, the clink,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 10: and our and our seats are keep in mind during
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 10: the entire Packer comeback. Our seats are like thirty feet
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 10: away and we don't sit in them.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: You're just like, I'm not.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 10: We can't move, can't move now we have to stay here.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 10: You go in for overtime, No, no, Watch the entire
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 10: thing on a small little monitor and the club facing
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 10: Puget Sound Wow games behind us, and we stood there.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 10: Took one for the team. There were like three other
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 10: couples that did the exact same thing. Watch the entire PA,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: what's that You're the reason they won totally? And last
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 10: night if I would have stayed, if you would have.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Lost the game, if you wouldn't have gone to Jimmy's,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: they would titos and soda.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 10: That's right, R two, Yeah, it was it was me.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 10: The Nicholson Brothers and your buddy Barry sitting there at
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 10: the bar. I got video of us going nuts at
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 10: the bar and Jimmy, So, how many people left the game?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 10: How many people left the game last night down thirty
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 10: to fourteen when Darnold threw that second pick the turner
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 10: and just said, that's a good question for a half
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 10: if I've one, Because there was I will tell you this.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 10: There was looking at the crowd walking down Occidental. There
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 10: was a mass exodus of people leaving the stadium. I
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 10: wonder if full was a mass exodus.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Wow, Well everything about that game, right, how it was
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: going statistically, the score told you there's no chance.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 5: I gotta tell you I am. I am exhausted right now.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 10: I am mentally, emotionally wiped after that game last night.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 10: I kind of feel like there should be a law
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 10: that if there is a sixteen point comeback in the
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 10: fourth quarter of a football game, then everyone gets a
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 10: vacation day the next day.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I'm done.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is just.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Unless you're sports radio, everbody wants to talk about this is.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 5: Beyond I mean, guys, you think about it like me.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: From the nine to thirty nine mark of the.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 10: Fourth core and yes, I lost my voice last night,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 10: nine thirty nine mark in the fourth quarter when Darnold
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 10: threw that pick to Turner.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, there's booze. People are leaving.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 10: Three minutes and sixteen seconds later, the game was died.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 10: And that's in clock time. And you said it was
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 10: what twelve minutes of real time?
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: I went I mentioned this to Andrews off the air.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: We went in, I did, we're doing the cracking. I
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: want to welcome all twelve people that were watching the cracking.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: Gas You sure it's twelve, by the way.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, magic number twelve. Okay, well right, the uh We
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: go in and I'm watching both. I'm like, okay, I
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: go in to do the secondary mission show and that's
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: about a twelve or thirteen minutes of real time. It's
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: a sixteen point deficit. I walk out, walk into the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: control room, and our staff's going bananas. I look up
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: and it's like, it says thirty to twenty eight. I go,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: what the hell? Just how could that happen in twelve
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: minutes of real time? And they'll racheie chihied, rashie chihia,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And then so I sat down and
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: I watched, in real time without sound, this weirdest two
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: point conversion I've ever seen in my life. And I'm like, well,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: well they didn't get it or whatever. And then all
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I look down, I see what's Brad
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Wat's his face, the referee going yeah, it's good.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: It's crazy on TV because Terry McCauley came in instantly.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 6: It was like, guys, yeah, nobody was talking about anyone
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: was doing it.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 10: I went so, I couldn't hear anything at Jimmy's obviously.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 10: I went on, watched the game last night, watching them
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 10: it this morning, and I heard somebody say, and maybe
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 10: but on social media, hey give sharbon Ay credit for
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 10: having the presence. What are you talk star curves streak. Yeah,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 10: the ball to give the old guy. He picked up
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 10: the ball, give it to the referee guy. He wasn't
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 10: thinking at all about scoring. He had no clue that
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 10: that was a backwards that. After the game, I went on,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 10: I'm sure somebody had to, but guys, and I was.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: Where if you're him, when you why new exactly what.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 8: It's like?
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 10: You know what we've been preparing for that moment. We're
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 10: prepared for every scenario imaginable. We work on that in
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 10: practice all the time. Imagine if Zach Charbone walked up
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 10: to that ball and like kicked it like at a frustration, and.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 5: Nobody would have better than I.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Nobody would have blinked or then Terry McCauley comes in
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: and says, well he should have picked up that ball.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 10: That oh my god, And that might be the reason
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 10: why they go to a super Bowl. Seriously, because Zach
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 10: Sharbonnay just randomly decided to pick up a football and
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 10: hand it to a referee.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 6: And I think Danny pointed out today if he had
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 6: picked it up outside the end zone, itouldn't have counted.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 10: Right if he was standing out zone, like if it's
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 10: two feet right, exactly. Unbelievable, I mean, honestly, Like I
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 10: don't know how much you guys believe in like destiny
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 10: and things like that, But after winning a game last
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 10: week without scoring a touchdown, and then winning last night
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: the way they won, it just feels like you better
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: get ready for in the first weekend in February and
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 10: something's going down.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: In some ways. In some ways, it feels like they've
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: won two games in a row. Yes, that they had
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: no business win. Now you think, no, do you just
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: go boat race Carolina?
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 10: Well, you know I was worried about that, and then
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 10: you got the extra days off to kind of reset
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: a little bit. Uh, there's guys, there's still a chance
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 10: the Niners could win the West.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean. This is not over. I don't
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: know about you, by the way, that's in the That
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: has always been the back of my mind. Yes, And
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: as much as I don't like the Rams, right that
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: makes me want to puke.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 10: When that schedule came out and you saw Niners in
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 10: week eighteen at Levi Stadium, you're telling yourself that game
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 10: is going to mean something, and it's gonna mean something.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I thought I'm in a
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: wildcard berth right right, unfortunately, mean that.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 10: It might be the number one seed in the end
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 10: of freaking Sea. Dude, it could be number one or five.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 10: What do you got today? Well, Humillin's on with us
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 10: obviously today Lindsay Theory is going to hop back on
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 10: from ESPN and give us her thoughts on the Rams
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 10: perspective on that game.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: Lee Sterling would join us as well.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 10: At three forty five, just a lot of seahawk chatter man,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 10: just kind of basking in the glow of what was
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 10: the most improbable ending to a football game. I'm still
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 10: in that line from my buddy in Eugene. You hear
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 10: that line. That doesn't mean what you think it means anymore.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 10: Now it means something else. That's right, that's done as
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 10: thirty years ago, that cames over. Forget it.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Your voice is not going to last through chance. There's
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: no chance, no zero.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 10: All right, but the mild mannered and marginally objectionably Inverness
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 10: this is paddle day, saying so long everyone,
