• 0:00
  Speaker 1: From the New York Post to the NFL national writer
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: who joins us from the East Coast on the Beacon
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Plumbing Hotline. Good morning, Ryan, thanks for joining up. Good
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: afternon to you. Hey, how are you?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, thanks to having me back on the radio station. Well,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: first of all, all of us here in Seattle are saying,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: how did the Giants get a primetime Sunday night game
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in this season?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple of easy answers for that, right, Like,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Giants Cowboys is big Week one. I want to sit.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: This will be the eighth time since twenty twelve, so
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: they seem to always play each other week one and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: then no one likes to hear this in Seattle especially,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: But you know, New York market, Dallas market, big big rivalry,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: catch the Giants while they're exciting with the John Harbaugh
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: era before they you know, in the past, usually they
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: end up five and eleven or five and twelve, so
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you know you don't want to have them on late
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: in the season. There's a lot more opposite vism with
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the Harboy era.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But you got the Harboy era starting against the Cowboys.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys obviously end up in primetime week one, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you know you'd get the Giants in the New York market,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Wall fans are at their most excited.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Ryan, I think I saw you allude to another theory
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: out there that the you get the Jets are gonna
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: be playing an afternoon game on that Sunday. Assuredly that'll
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: get announced thirty days and then the Mets and Yankees
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: are playing a subway baseball series on that Sunday afternoon
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: at one thirty, a game already s could come on.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: New York's big enough they could play. The Giants could
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: play in the afternoon too, didn't they.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, but I think look, the Yankees Mets
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: thing is a twenty fifth anniversary of the nine to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: eleven tragedies, so they're playing the eleven, twelfth, thirteenth. So
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: that's why that series is New York, New York at
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that point of the year. And then you probably get
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the Jets. They'll probably be at one o'clock because there's
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: not a lot of interest in the Jets, but it
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: could be at four thirty, and especially if it's a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Fox doubleheader, that could be the CBS game, and then
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you'd have a New York triple header. But yeah, New
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: York is big enough. But look New York. The Knicks
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: are rolling but long. Fifteen years in New York. Give
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: New York a little something to give one day a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: year to be to celebrate as New York sports big rate.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Nobody out here in Seattle. One's give New York a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: celebrator that you're from New York. This is Ryan Dunlevy
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of the New York Daily News joining it. Sorry, New
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: York Post that's fighting words in New York, joining us
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: on Beacon plumbing hotline. The New York Post, the paper
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that broke the Mike Rabel Diana Versini story that has
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just caught on like wildfire with just follow ons and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: more video and more pictures. I want to ask you,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: as a staff member of the Post, did all of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you anticipate did you have any idea this story had tentacles,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it would last as long and become this much of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a phenomenon that won't seem to end. I mean, is
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: this caught the New York Post by surprise?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Uh So Page six and the sports department are very
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: separate entities. Yes, at the Post, I mean we're all
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: er the Post umbrella. But like so is Fox, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that's a very different umbrella than the New York Post too,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So I knew it was coming like a day or
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: two beforehand. I did not the original piece. I did
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: not expect it to catch wildfire like this, obviously, But
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: there is seems to be a new development or new
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: photos every single week. So when any story, as we
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: know as journalists, whenever, whenever any story at this or
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: something football related or anything, whenever there's new developments every
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: single week, then a story has legs. So probably better
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: off for all people if the whole story gets out
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: at one time, in any in any instance, and then
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you move on to something else. But when you're piecing
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: together little pits at a time, stories keep going.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Especially when I was denied by both parties to start off,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: What do you write? What do you anticipate happens to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Thing?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Is?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Is that boring to say?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Like another?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But what do you to die man? Nothing? Right? We've
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: been around this league long enough?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Like he like, you know, he committed a personal It
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: sounds like, at least based on his statements, committed to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you know, a personal family grievance, but doesn't really seem
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to affect his job the same way it would affect
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a journal my job, or your job, or any journalists
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: job who you know, sources and integrity are at the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: basis of it. Like his job is to win football games.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: He does it very well. Uh So I don't really expect,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, we've been in locker rooms enough
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: where players have their own uh uh personal uh stories
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: going on in their lives and they all kind of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: put it aside to win games. And I'm sure they'll
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: be able to do that with the coach. That's really
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: all a team is about, is coming together to win
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: games at this level. So that's why I think it'll
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: probably be Bear Seahawks in Week one on Wednesday Night,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: because I don't know that the NFL will want to
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: talk about Mike Rabel on its opening night game and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: not a Super Bowl Seahawks Patriots rematch. I don't think
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the NFL will be dying to, you know, put Mike
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Rabel out in front and center in Week one. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: other than that, I think he'll be on the sidelines
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and they'll be trying to win games, and people will
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: still be asking him questions and he'll still be giving
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: vague answers.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, you're right, and I've covered the NFL since two
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: thousand and two and I agree with you. But is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: there anything to be said of the character of man
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and the men that we're in that locker room who
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: have to follow him, listen to him and buy into
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: him and they hope trust him. Do you see that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: or is that a firewall that there's two different distinct Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I kind of think there's football integrity and personal integrity.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Like you know, we see a Sante Samuel the older
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: one on Twitter right now, like bragging about his personal escapades.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Well like he was basically, I mean, he had almost
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame caliber career. If he intercepts the past
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: before the helmet catch, then NFL history is totally rewritten
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and the Patriots go undefeated and the Giants don't win
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and Eli Manning is probably not in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame discussion. He's a great player. Uh,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: none of his teammates wanted him off the team because
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he was doing the things he says he's doing was
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: doing now on Twitter. So I kind of think there's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: football like if Sante Samuel was leaking plays to the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: other team, he'd be out of the NFL. But like,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: as in his own words, having an extra marital affair.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: None the players like, oh, you know, that's your business,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: but you know, don't bring that around my wife. But
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: but yeah, no, I think there's football integrity. And my
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: guess would be the players you and I have been
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: around would probably say, like, you know, like in the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: case of a head coach, like hold us accountable on
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the field. You know, if guys are being late to meetings,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: then make sure you're disciplining them. But what you're doing
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: in your personal life is your responsibility, and what I
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: do in my personal life is my responsibility.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: This is Ryan Dunlevy, and unfortunately he and I both
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: know that is the truth in the NFL. He's joining
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: us from the New York Post here on the Beacon
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Plumbing Hotline ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: If indeed AJ Brown was traded to the Patriots, how
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: much would that change you think expectations for Drake May
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: and their playoff outlook?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I mean I think there would be. Look,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: but the Patriots were in the Super Bowl last year.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They're expected to be good again. And I do think
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and Drake May was the runner up for the MVP.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I think I actually voted for him for the MVP,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: put him ahead of Stafford. So I don't know how
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: much higher expectations can get. I mean, they're gonna be
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: right there with the Bills in the afcast. They're going
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to be right there. Everybody knocked their schedule, and obviously
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the boring Super Bowl that the Seahawks one kind of convincing.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: They didn't do them any face, didn't do them any
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: favors in terms of making them propped up like a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: paper tiger. But I think they're pretty I think they're good.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I think they're good. They have a good coach, they
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: have a good quarterback. Yeah, and if Aj Brown go
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: is there, I expect Aj Brown to be a thousand
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: yard receiver. Again talking about another guy who has football
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: results and off field character, but he produces. So I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: think he'll fit right in there and they'll be very good,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and they'll go about their business with him, you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: reading books on the sideline or whatever it is he does,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: and they'll have a thousand yards and eleven touchdowns and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: they'll be good.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Teams are putting up but well not teams.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, I could say teams because Aaron Rodgers, he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: bounced around a little bit. But how much patience can
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers realistically have with a rod before they
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: have to just commit to I don't know the other
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: option at quarterback whoever? That mean, maybe they'll call greg
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Will Howard man free Will Howard.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I love that you asked that because, like to me,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I wrote a column about this like on draft night,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: just like I'm old enough, like Mike Toddler is old
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: enough to remember when the Steelers were like a model
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: organization and their last fifth, their last fifteen months have
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: been waiting for Aaron Rodgers twice whatever, angering Mike Tomlin
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to the point where he quit a great coach, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: then the Mackay Lemon draft call, like they're I'm in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: New York, guys, I see the Jets and Giants scrub
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: quite a bit. They're on the like jetson Giants trajectory
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of like pr like mishaps here.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I grew up outside Pittsburgh. That hurts. You're not wrong,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but that hurts.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I don't love anything going on there.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: But like to answer your question, like I guess they're
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: held captive like the other option is Will Howard, so
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I guess I'd wait as long as he wants. He'll
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: probably do what he did last year, which is signed
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the day before mandatory Mini camp, because like that's what
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: he'd used as like the start of the NFL season.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: So I assume that's what they'll do. And if they
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: were going to move on from him, they would have
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: obviously picked somebody higher in the draft, or traded for
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins or done something to give them a viable
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Plan B. Instead, they don't have a viable Plan B. Again,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: So whatever Aaron want Rogers wants is what's gonna go.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly how Aaron Rodgers likes it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: He deserves the Cardinals. Don't sign him. Let him go
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to the Cardinals because Brissette is holding out, which is
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: why he's not holding out. He's not mandatory yet. But yeah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: free Will Howard. Was Mike McCarthy just stay?
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: What was his purpose in this higher because at this
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: point you would think Mike could get him in the building.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But at this point it doesn't seem like he can
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: get him in the building. So it's just I don't know.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: About anybody I was around Aaron Rodgers very you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't get to know him, but I was around
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: him for years, so I when he was with the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Jets two years, I guess so I saw, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the show. And I don't think anybody really tells Aaron
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: rod even Mike McCarthy, who's been with him for years.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody really tells Aaron Rodgers what he like.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: It's great they have a relationship and it's Grady knows
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: his playbook, but I don't think anybody really tells Aaron
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Rodgers what to do. I mean, somehow we have to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: go back to your somehow to go back to your
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Rabel point. We have pictures of Mike Rabel at every
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and I'm stealing this from a line from a host
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: on wf AN next year, but somehow we have pictures
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of Mike Rabel at every turn of his life for
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the last six years, and we don't have any pictures
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: of Aaron Rodgers' wife, Like we don't even know. So
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: like I don't know that anybody anything in Aaron Rodgers
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: life besides Aaron McCarthy.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Sad but true that that's the Steelers quarterback free Will
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Howard is Ryan Dunleavy New York Post joining us in
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the Beacon Plumbing hotline from New York. What happened with
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson with the Giants? Do you think was this inevitable?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Was Jackson Dart always going to play last year? We
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: saw the mammoth game Wilson had in Dallas where to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: go wrong? And was he just set up to fail
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: because Jackson Dart was going to get there last year? Anyway? Yeah?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I think that's I mean, we know how this goes,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: like you sign a veteran quarterback than you draft one,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't as overtly as the Falcons, you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: screwed over Kirk Cousins with Michael Pennix a couple of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: years ago. Or but yes, the Giants had told Russell
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Wilson I had a time there was a chance they
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: would draft the quarterback. Did they lead Russell Wilson to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: believe that he was going to get a longer leash
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: than he got?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: But as we come to find out, Brian Dable was
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: much under the hot seat and obviously didn't make it
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: pass like week eight or nine. So he was trying
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: to save his job. He figured his best bet to
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: save the job was to show look at my young quarterback,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: which makes sense. Dark played very well, he was said, Yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Russ was kind of set up to fail. The team
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: wasn't you know, didn't have a lot of playmakers, especially
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: after milit Neighbors went down. Offensive line was better than
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it's been, but they was as soon as Dark got here,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: everybody's gonna want Dart one, tirow and three. There's no
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: point in starting a thirty seven year old quarterback. So yeah,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: he thought he was going to get a little bit
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: longer leached. I think if he they had won that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: game where he threw for four hundred and fifty yards
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in Week two against the Cowboys, if they had won
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: that game, I think he would have got a longer leash.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Is it his fault that the defense gave up a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: three point lead in twenty three seconds? No, it's not
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: his fault. But that's the way the cookie grumbles.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: And now he could be on the NFL today instead
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of a sideline apparently, and.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Or he could be the Jets backup. They have an
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: offer out. I talked to Russ last week. They haven't.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: The Jets have an offer out to him. He could
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: be the Jets backup I just don't know. You guys
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: probably know him better than I do. Greg like, is
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: he gonna want to finish his career? He sees himself
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: as Russell Wilson.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: MVP Hall of Famer.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Is he gonna want to finish his career as a
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: backup to Gino Smith?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: To Geno Smith? Is the part there? Back up to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: anybody in the league? But Gino Smith? Of how it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: ended here in Seattle. But when you talk to him,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: how viable does it seem he'd signed with the Jets.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: It seemed like he was, you know, fifty to fifty
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Like I, if I had to guess, I guess he
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: did TV analyst. But uh, he seemed to be weighing it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, like he says, Gino and him have a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: good relationship, so he says that would be okay with him.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I think he feels like, Hey, if I'm gonna beat
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: anybody out, I could beat out Gino Smith. I've already
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you know, I've already shown him better than him at Seattle.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: So I think he would see it as a chance
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: to uh be a starting quarterback again. But I don't know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Like I just he doesn't strike me as like you
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: get to this age and like Cousins obviously has accepted
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: this is his fate. Now, I'm going to be a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback. I'm going to be a mentor. A lot
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: of these guys don't want to do that, Like Eli
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Manning didn't really want to do that, right, So, so
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like especially with the Jets, like they
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: could fire their coach during the season. It could be
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a mess. So, like, is that how he wants to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: end his career or does he want to go right
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: into TV.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: One more on Wilson. We know him as Mark Rodgers
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: as his agent Russell Wilson, but now he's got David
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Muligana there, the agent for the star the superstars of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: modern football. Does it Does that seem to be a
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: factor toward him playing or to being in CBS, or
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that's a non factor to you?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah? My sense is that I think he did that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: when he wanted to because he wanted to play again, right,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: that's the That's the sense I have is that he thought,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: let me get the You know, I believe his former
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: agent doesn't have a big football role. Yes, yeah, so
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I believe mullagat You know, Mullageta has found ways to
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: be like, oh, I have Xavier McKinney and Michaeh. I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: have Xavier McKinney and Jordan Love already in Green Bay. Magically,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get Michael Parsons to Green Bay too, And
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: now my quarterback suddenly has a chance to win a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl because Michael. He's found a way to get
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: his clients together. So maybe Russ thought, you know, Mullagett's ties.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe whoever Mullageta's big free agent this year was, I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe that would be a package with Russell Wilson.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think he did that because he
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: wanted to play again, and I don't think that hat.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think he would have made that switch. Mullagat
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is not a TV.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Agent, right.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Last one for me, We all know that that eighteen
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: game season is coming. Don't know when, but I'm assuming
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: it is coming sooner than later. What do you think
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: could be the biggest sticking point between the NFL and
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: NFLPA when discussions come about that eighteen game season becoming
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: more serious?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Money?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Money?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, piece of piece of the pie? Like can we
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: get what more are we gonna get? If we're sacrificed.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Is it benefits for health now that we're playing more games?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Is it? You know what, what more money are the player?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Is it a way to raise the whatever that is?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: What the revenue share?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the key.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a way to raise the revenue share before
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the CBA is up to if we're gonna play eighteen games,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: do we what is it now?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Is it fifty eight or something? Forty eight to forty
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: eight point eight? That's the max the players can get.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the worst deals in professional sports.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, So is there a way they tweet that? Yeah,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the players are gonna want more money if they play
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: more games because the NFL, I mean, pretty soon there's
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: going to be a game on like pretty soon, there's
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: going to be a game on the Home Shopping Network.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: So any chance they can't have a single off window,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: they make more money.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So the players are going to walp whatever they tend
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to get more of a piece of that on a Tuesday,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: know this, Ryan Dunlady of the New York Post, Thank you, sir.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It's great to talk to you and be well in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: your spring. Enjoy your time.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. Guys, anytime.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Ryan Dunleavy, New York Post. Yeah, that's a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: good point about the revenue share. They are not to me,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I would hold that as the card to play against
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the owners. You want us to get an eighteenth game,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: give us fifty percent, give us fifty point two percent
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: of the league revenue. And we've talked about this before.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: NFL owners, more than any owners in pro sports. NFL
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: owners are not in the business giving away their money.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: That's how they became billionaires. That's how they've kept the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: league revenues at fifty two percent owners forty eight percent players.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It is fast awkwards in a lot of the veteran players'
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: minds that they are not nearer to fifty to fifty,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: if not above. For the players and a sport that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: is that injured prone, that that effective and debilitating to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: call the quality of life, they need a lot more
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: than forty eight percent. I'm talking from a veterans players perspective.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, these guys can't even walk and get out
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of bed after they're done playing, and yet they don't
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: get a few less than half of the league's revenues.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: While billionaires who aren't touched stay billionaires. By getting fifty
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: two percent of the league's revenues. That's the problem. They
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: want to get eighteen games. Give them fifty plus percent
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of the revenues. I bet that eighteen game would stop
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in a hurry if you started asking for stuff like
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that four nine four y five one to come at
• 19:36

• 20:34
  Speaker 4: From the four two five the Mariners have a Kyle
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Rawley and Luis Castile problem. I don't want to hear.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: It's early for they deserved time to work it out.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: This is their problem right now.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: If you miss it. We talked about Kyle rally O
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: for his last thirty six played appearances. We read what
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan Divers reported in Today's Seattle Times from Chicago in
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse of Kyle Rawley's comments and some of you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: on the text lines, it sounded like he was broken
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: by reading those comments. He did sound down, for sure, Ryan,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: noting that he was talking very quietly in the clubhouse.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I proposed he go on the injured list for a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: week and a half and get a mental and physical break.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Since it's only early May. There is someone in the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: text line says, hey, what are you talking about? It's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: only May eleven, that's my birthday. Who was that? Who
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: was that? I want to represent him right? I think
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it's a two o six, will find it in here. Hey,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: May eleventh, it's my birthday, Happy birthday.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Yep from the actually four two five thanks to the
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: four two five east side.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Thank you. This next one, oh you have one, Greg
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Forty five also is a different forty five
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: says bring on the Patriots, because once the route starts,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it'll be all Rabel Rossini talk. Two o six. Bring
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: on Vrabel, break May and the putrid Patriots. Two O six.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: There's no way, all Caps the NFL wants the Rabel
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Rassini thing anywhere near that first game of the season,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Ryan done leave you. The New York Post just made
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: that point with us in the last segment. In no
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: way they want to welcome Mahomes back with congratulations. You
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: get to face the best most aggressive defense in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: league off an acl tare. I think you're correct on
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: both counts, Maam or sir, I think it's gonna be
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the Bears. I think so too. I lost my process
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of elimination at this point.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, don't give don't Yeah, we'll leave it at that
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: four two five Stan call at home played before the
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: next game and make him shake hands with all his teammates,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: exercise this curse.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: With an o exors. I. Yes, we know that reference
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: back here in Seattle, we know it very well.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: All right, Here we go from the four two five?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Why would Rubin Tug Robert Craft even care about this?
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: That's hey, you know fair points. That's why I kind
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: of feel like nothing's gonna happen to Rabel.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Robert Kraft called the New York Post and tried to
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: kill this whole story. Yeah, and now I apparently we
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: know why. Yeah, two five, three? So how many games
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in before we put Dan Wilson on the hot seat. Okay,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: let's revisit this again. I believe firmly that Dan Wilson
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: is the manager because he does exactly what Jared Depoto
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and Justin Hollander and by extension, John Stanton want done.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: He is a yes man, He's an organizational man. He
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: had no manager will experience when they hired him. And
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: anybody like a Joe Maddener, someone who has had success
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: in other organization. I'm not our World Series success in
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Joe Madden's case, would not listen to that, would not
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: say here's your iPad. Dan Wilson will say, read the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: iPad and do what it says. Okay, lefty versus righty.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I'm pinch hitting Connor Joe for Luke Rayley here, or
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Luke worse, Luke Rayley for Connor Joe. No matter what,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Luke Rayley's their best at it right now. Oh he's lefty, righty,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you got to be opposite pitcher. He's wedded to that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: And Dan Wilson when he took the manager, yea, I'll
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: agree to do this. Guy like Joe Madden or somebody
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: else would be like, here's I show you where you
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: can shove your rightpad. The other thing is, I don't
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: think Dan Wilson's on the hot seat until August or so.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Because the division's not going anywhere. The Mariners' ownership can say, look,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: we're two and a half games back with a very
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: underperforming team. If we perform anywhere toward what we should
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: be with this roster, we're gonna win the division easily. Chris,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win a division handily. With all
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the problems with Kyle Rawly and Luis Castillo and the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: bullpen and the overall team have had. This division stinks.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: If someone could get anything going, the Mariners would be
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: ten games eight games back. Right now, they're two and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a half back with a terrible month and a half,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win a division, and so if you're the Mariners,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be in contention. You got bobbleheads and fireworks
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: coming up all summer with beautiful weather and a team
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: that's within three games of first place. Thirty five be
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: in the yard. What's wrong? Other than us frustrated talking
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: about it every day and then losing to the White Sox,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: what's wrong? Bottom line is, nothing is wrong. If this
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: is like this late August, something's wrong, because then you
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: only have thirty days to fix.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: It, right, that's big problems.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: But even if then, if you're two and a half
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: back and the division is still only a couple games
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: over five hundred, you're still not in dire straits and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: you don't fire your manager there, especially the manager who
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: does yes everything to the iPads and the analytics. Say.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: That's my very simplified argument about Dan Wilson and why
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: he's not on the hot seat.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: This is from the two five to three honest opinion.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Do you really think the NBA draft is rigged? Truck
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: this morning was going on about the conspiracy theory that
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: it is rig somebody would have come out with it
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: by now if it was true, right.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I think lotteries are weighted. Yes, I think there's a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: hand a finger on the scale I talked about there's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: too many. There's just so many variables that you have
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to hit on. I think did you see the Indiana
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Pacers manager came out publicly yesterday and apologize after the
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: yesh fifth I don't remember the trigger. Was it below
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the top three? Then the Clippers got the something that
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: pick in the trade. So the Pacers traded for a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: big man I never heard of, which is half the league,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and they traded their first round pick. And if I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: remember it was protected. Some listener out there is more
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: NBA than I will probably answer this. If it's within
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: outside the top three, the protection went away and Indiana
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: loses its pick. Well, the ping pong ball for the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Pacers came up five, so the Clippers get their fifth pick.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: So the Pacers purposely tanked and got screwed out of
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: not having a first round pick in the lottery because
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Clippers got it. The system's broke. It's so
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: broken it must be rigged or someone. I mean, teams
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: are tanking. It's the system is so broken that the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver have changed it. They are
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: changing it now. Even the bottom three teams are not
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: going to have the best chance of winning the number
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: one pick anymore. It's the middle three teams. It's a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: very convoluted that's not even worth bringing up to me.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: But I just it's just tough for me because I
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: look at the Cleveland Cavaliers when Lebron left, you know
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: what I mean, the lotteries they won, they wanted quite
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: a few to get the next Whoever, it didn't work
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: out obviously, who oh the Pelicans Zion Like there are
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: some examples of like if it's rigged, you want.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Did the Cavs win the lottery?
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I let me pull it up the year, but
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: they wanted multiple after after Lebron already left. So clearly,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: if you want, like you know what, I know, someone
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: would argue, well, who wants to Cleveland's not a big market.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, you're killing this, Ohio guy. Man, Sorry, but
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Greg knows that you were watsem Calves they were Okay,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you know what, here's a better example. Detroit Pistons.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Right, they repeatedly filled the lottery like you would want
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Detroit basketball. I believe he was, but outside of that,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: they have repeatedly been like.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: But for years they've been bad.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, years, it's not like oh they've they have never
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: gotten that luck and bad boys piston Hello.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: For the eighties people, that was a thing. Do you
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: remember Malice at the Palace by Yes, I remember that
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and was like, wow, that's that happened.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: That's okay, Wow you said something crazy, it threw a beer,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: and you got your ass beat, learned your lesson. You
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: thought that was fine. I didn't think it was fine.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I understand why he did that. Oh yeah, there was
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: no you just they were both wrong and you got
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: your ass before.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: For those of you that are listening and don't know
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about, google Malice at the Everyone does, okay.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably even if you grew up not watching basketball.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Your parent were like, Yo, the Palace at Auburn Hills, Yeah,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: which is now just an empty parking lot. My mother
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: and father lived near the reason I Bobby Troue because
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: they're historic franchise. For them for not to even correct
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: sniff it at a higher rate considering their franchise is
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: kind of like, well, if you want to rig the lottery,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: like that's a team that you got to want championships here.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: So I don't know it's I understand.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Where Chuck's coming from.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's wrong, but I also look at
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: it like, man, the Spurs got Victor Womben Yama over
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: teams with massive markets, like send them to l a
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: ok C could have got them.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: What do you say, that's not a massive market. But yeah,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: it is getting there.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: But my point is they could have sent Wimbyama to
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: to Boston.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Correct because the lottery recently. But yeah, but you're massive market.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's right. San Antonio is cargo. That's right.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Oh you're rules man, So I don't know, you're right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: That fun discussion though Marcus referring to US six as
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: people even have mentioned it. Even shack first four, protect
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: thanks two, fight three, the first four for the Clipper.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: The Pacers were protected. They get fifth after after purposely taken.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: They got what they deserve. But steven four to five,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: all leagues should take away. The p w h L,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the Professional Women's Hockey League, determines the number one pick.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Wins count once you're eliminated towards the number one pick.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: That is something a similar version of the NBA. It's
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: not quite the same, but it's it's that thinking of
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: eliminated teams, and yes, but that's you're not the only one,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Steven who's pointed to the pig WHL for their way
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: of doing a number one pick.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Last one for me from the two O six, Dan
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: should have won Minute of the Year last year for
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: bringing a team barely hitting two hundred to the last
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: game before the series.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: All right, the pitchers had something to do that. But yeah,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: four to two five, NFL increased roster spots by ten percent,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: so players don't play any more games. What's the annual revenue?
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Almost more than the combined revenue of all the other sports.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: People love talking percent of revenue when the actual dollar
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: amount doesn't support their argument. And that's also what the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: two four to two five is pointing out when he
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: says forty eight percent, meaning the revenue the players get
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: in the NFL of California's gross national product is a
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: lot better than eighty percent of Rhode Island GNP. True,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I will just tell you that players who have a
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: quality of life issue that is well beyond baseball and basketball,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: for instance, in my mind, should have more than forty
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: eight percent of the NFL's revenue, while billionaire owners just
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: get billionairesh even more, make billions on top of billions,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: give away some of those billions toward players who can't
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: even put a sentence together or drive the wrong way
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in a freeway because the CTE and kill themselves or
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: put a gun to their head. They're the impact that
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: this sport, NFL football has on the player's quality of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: life demands to me that they get more than forty
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: eight percent. I don't know why the union ownership can't
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: go to bat on that alone and just stick the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: NFL owners for everything they want based on that number alone.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: NFL players, for the debilitating nature of the sport and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: how it to fix their quality of life, should hold
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: out for well beyond forty eight percent of the league's revenue. Yeah,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: league makes a lot of money, and yeah, forty eight
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: percent of the NFL's revenues are a lot. I'm just
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: telling you, see these players, after we're done watching them
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: on the field, you'd say, man, they deserve a little
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: more money than they're getting from a league who just
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: prints money and makes billions of rebellions. That's my opinion anyway.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Four to five calls him chat GPDJ dan Is it
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: that pad? I don't know if it's that better not check.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I was wondering what that man. The Mariner is run
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: by chat GPT and AI. Are his decisions made by AI?
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: That would be a story and not a good one.

  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Greg Bell, Christopher Kay with you, now joined
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: by Ian Fernets, the mayor of Maple Valley joins us.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: You're a ninety three point three KJRFM heading into his
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: show from twelve until three, where there should be a
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: very timely mollywop.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: Yep, molly wopping today one o'clock. We're gonna probably do
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: it at one o'clock. Moving forward, we were doing one
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: twenty for the last little while. We'll probably go to
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: one one o'clock now one to one to one forty
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: or so. And uh, what a very mariner like week
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: that was?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: You take two or three from the from the braves
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: best even baseball, he lose two to three. Now again
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: the White Sox aren't with they were right, They're a
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: little better, but they're still below five.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Ps two runs the last two games total.
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: And really think about how it could have been if
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: Luke Railey didn't go bananas on Friday, right seven RBI,
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: right like, that could have been not a great weekend.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: So already wasn't a good weekend in that regard. So
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: but does it even matter in this al West. It's
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: a pillow fight.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Who cares?
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: That's why I think they should put Kawraly on. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: say that Earliers is not going anywhere. You know, you've
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: coached baseball a lot. I hate when us just armchair
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: jocks make comparisons, but I think you can in this case.
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: Anybody that golf knows this. And we've got our major
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: golf challenge this week, PGA Championship coming up here we go.
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: I think you know golf, Hitting a golf ball is
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: the closest thing to hitting a baseball in a sense,
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: small object, timings, everything. If you're off by a fraction
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: of something, it changes the whole dynamic of where the
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: ball goes and all those things. And if you're playing.
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: I know this as someone who's getting older as arthritis
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: in my knees and but loves the game of golf.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: Like when you adjust something, not because you're truly injured,
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: Like injured to me means you can get worse. Right,
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: Sometimes you're just hurting. You just have something that's just
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: it's it's there and it needs to heal. You compensate
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: in any way, shape or form. Just to buy a
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: minuscule amount does it not affect everything, right, Like, if
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: I'm out there, I'm like, oh man, I didn't finish
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: that swing because my left knee is a little tweaked today,
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: it's a little swollen.
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: Today or whatever. It changes everything. Well, I'm as low
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: level as it gets. If cal Rawley is got his
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: feeling discomfort in his side, unless he's getting shot up
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: every day, which I kind of doubt that's the face hope. Like, seriously,
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: it's not like a football player where you do it
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: four or five times. No, if you're like, so, let's
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: assume there's some pain there, your body is going to adjust.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: It could be as.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: Simple as that. So, yeah, why would they not put
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: him on the injured list?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Simple because he doesn't want to go. That's you.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: And how often do we hear you got to protect
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: the player exactly from him player? Yeah, I mean it's
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: just he's not helping the team. No, you know, it
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: just isn't.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I would put Cold Young at second, Donovan at first,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Cold Young at second. Juli Rodriguez, who, by the way,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: is hitting an ops of one point oh one something
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: this month three thirty three batting average is seven to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: sixty two slugging this month at one point oh one
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to three. I think it is ops. Now put him
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: third Randy Rose Arena. Even though he throws like he's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: hilarious in the outfield, he's just a constant adventure. But
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I still love him as a player. He plays hard,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: he hits the ball. Yeah, get him four or five? Four?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Do you move?
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: Do you move a guy that could have been the
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: MVP if he still line up all the way onto six?
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: That's what you're saying, because then Naylor, Yeah, he's gonna
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: hit behind Naylor Dallas, right.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Or sit him on the injured list for ten days?
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's that to me would
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: be what you do. But I don't understand the baseball world.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: I guess in a sense, like again I go back,
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: sometimes you got to protect the athlete from the athlete,
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: you know, like in Cal's a guy that's and we
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: love Cal raw because of who and what he is.
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: But you know, and if he's saying, don't put me
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: on the IL, I'm not heard or this and that,
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: but he's getting treatment apparently every day.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: That's that was the key I took out of that case.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so if that's the case, then what are we
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: doing right, right, especially in baseball.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Again, it's not football.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: We all know that. We get lectured about that every
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: year in the first month of the season when they
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: come out scuffle and it's early in the year. It's
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: not like there's one of seventeen. No, No, it's what
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: do they have the how many games do they play?
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: It's one hundred and twenty some games left? Yeah, they
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: only play four one, Yeah, they're that the quarter mark.
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: They're twenty five games in.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Even if you sit him for ten games, you still
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: have one hundred and ten games left. Yeah.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: Well, because I think we all again, I think that
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: they can win this division, the JV al Wes. They
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: can win that thing at five hundred, yes, but that's
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: not the goal for this team.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: No. Right. But once you get in, as I've heard
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: you yourself say in baseball, just get in, just get in.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: But if you just get in and you still have
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: an issue with the guy that should be your best player, correct,
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: then you've got a problem.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: A problem You're gonna get in by putting him on
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the injured list and having them come.
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: Back and you could be to miss the next month,
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: and you're gonna get in. I think he can miss
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: the next month and you're still gonna get it?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: What else you get?
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: So well, ma wop our buddy Gary Parris will join
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: us at two o'clock when I went to track him
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: down to get thoughts on the NBA or the NCAA
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: expansion of the tournament, which is just a horrible idea
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: on every level.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: No one wanted it, no one needed it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: It's an amazing phenomenon that I yes, nobody wanted it,
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: like literally miss the.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Programs didn't want it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: No, because you can make the tournament and play on
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: a Tuesday or Wednesday and still get fired as a
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: coach conference.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Especially because you go under five hundred to get in
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: those first four games, right exactly.
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: So we'll check in with him and then we'll talk
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: a little bit about Seahawks. I think it's an interesting conversation.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: I probably leaning towards the Bears, right, but get some
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: thoughts on that as well.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: That's and ford Ess Anderson Hurst joined Jessmans still thinking
• 39:01
