2:32
Speaker 1: that you love him.
2:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
2:36
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a better opportunity for it right here?
2:39
Speaker 7: I mean, this is it.
2:40
Speaker 1: It's accurate.
2:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right, this is just never thought it that way, whatever.
2:44
Speaker 7: You were going to do it. I mean, this is
2:46
Speaker 7: the day.
2:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, sprinkle some rose pedals for that serial killer in
2:50
Speaker 1: your life to the bathtub, let them soak away their
2:54
Speaker 1: murderous intent. This is the day to do things that
2:58
Speaker 1: you've never done before. And I'll tell a homicidal maniac that,
3:03
Speaker 1: deep down you really care.
3:06
Speaker 7: All Right.
3:07
Speaker 9: The sad thing is there's a lot of women up
3:08
Speaker 9: that they're like, I'm going to write to a prison today.
3:12
Speaker 7: True, I'm kidding. Don't do that.
3:13
Speaker 9: Yeah, my wife was comedic material, or at least I
3:18
Speaker 9: thought it was good.
3:20
Speaker 3: Ahead of the curve. I did not recognize that it
3:22
Speaker 3: was Friday thirteenth, though you just mentioned it. Obviously. I
3:24
Speaker 3: did know that it was Valentine's Day because we switched.
3:27
Speaker 1: If you remember Friday the thirteenth, then you don't remember
3:30
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day.
3:32
Speaker 3: Ye, my my wife, she must have been on to
3:37
Speaker 3: the connection between the two because we we exchange our
3:41
Speaker 3: Valentine tried to kill.
3:42
Speaker 7: You last night.
3:43
Speaker 1: No again, she gave me a new gun safe.
3:46
Speaker 3: So if that doesn't kind of go to the homicidal
3:49
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's like so a nice little
3:51
Speaker 3: fingerprint one, you know, finger on it opens up.
3:55
Speaker 7: Boom, there we go. We're ready.
3:56
Speaker 3: In case something happens on Friday the thirteenth. I'm prepared
4:01
Speaker 3: because of my early Valentine's Day gift.
4:03
Speaker 8: See what an't you lucky?
4:05
Speaker 1: See what I would love for Kate to do to
4:07
Speaker 1: celebrate this holiday is that because we leave for Phoenix,
4:12
Speaker 1: yes tomorrow, so we're gonna leave in the middle of
4:14
Speaker 1: alent So you have just the morning, you know, to
4:17
Speaker 1: do Valentine's Day with your wife.
4:20
Speaker 7: I think it would be hilarious.
4:21
Speaker 1: If you woke up and she was trying to smother
4:24
Speaker 1: you with a pillow with a hockey mask on while
4:28
Speaker 1: wearing lingerie. Oh wow, that is not a good idea.
4:34
Speaker 10: Do it?
4:37
Speaker 3: She could actually achieve said goal. Be hilarious.
4:41
Speaker 9: Oh man, sharing it now and I'm never getting that
4:44
Speaker 9: out of my.
4:44
Speaker 1: Talk about getting in the mood of things that get
4:47
Speaker 1: you in the mood.
4:48
Speaker 8: And then she'll feed you some chocolates right before she
4:51
Speaker 8: chokes you.
4:51
Speaker 7: Right before you pass out. Here's some chocolate she could do.
4:56
Speaker 3: That's chocolate on the underside of the pillow that she
4:58
Speaker 3: smothering me with.
4:59
Speaker 1: And she cuts up slices with a machetti but like
5:04
Speaker 1: throws the romantic yeah.
5:06
Speaker 8: Throws it in the air. And chops it with the machete.
5:09
Speaker 7: Yeah.
5:09

6:55
Speaker 1: is romance at the exact same time.
6:58
Speaker 7: See what you can do to make it the best ever?
7:01
Speaker 1: All right, Well, what a week we've had. It's been incredible.
7:04
Speaker 1: I mean, it actually seems like a long time ago
7:08
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl.
7:09
Speaker 7: I don't know why that is. It was this Sunday.
7:13
Speaker 1: I was putting together the ohow this morning, and I'm.
7:15
Speaker 7: Like, oh, that was this week.
7:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Sunday the super Bowl title, and we've spent
7:21
Speaker 1: a week celebrating it in various ways. For us that's
7:24
Speaker 1: talking about it, and of course the parade that took
7:28
Speaker 1: place on Wednesday. I mean, just what an accomplishment. What
7:33
Speaker 1: a week, What a feel good week it has been
7:36
Speaker 1: here in Seattle. And today, as we have our Friday show,
7:40
Speaker 1: we no longer have football Fridays, and that's good because
7:43
Speaker 1: today is sort of the transition away kind of Friday
7:48
Speaker 1: from the football season into some of the other things
7:51
Speaker 1: that we've loved that have felt neglected here recently, including man,
7:57
Speaker 1: we haven't really talked much at all about mariners, reporting,
8:00
Speaker 1: pitchers and catchers, all the things that go with the
8:03
Speaker 1: excitement of that. But never you fear, because on Monday,
8:08
Speaker 1: our spring training coverage does begin right here on Chuck
8:11
Speaker 1: and Buck. I know that seems crazy, but this is
8:13
Speaker 1: the way we do it every year, and it just
8:15
Speaker 1: so happened that this year our football team played the
8:17
Speaker 1: last game of the year, and so the gap between
8:22
Speaker 1: spring training and the end of the football season overlapped
8:26
Speaker 1: for us here in Seattle, and so we'll start our
8:30
Speaker 1: coverage on Monday. And so this on this Friday, since
8:33
Speaker 1: we're going to talk so much baseball next week, is
8:37
Speaker 1: sort of our last opportunity to our first opportunity, depends
8:42
Speaker 1: on how you look at it, to kind of get
8:44
Speaker 1: the off season rolling for the Seahawks. I mean, every
8:46
Speaker 1: other NFL city started this process weeks ago, started talking
8:50
Speaker 1: about the big things they got to get accomplished. And
8:52
Speaker 1: so today with Greg Bell at seven oh five, we'll
8:55
Speaker 1: start talking about the offseason with him, and I think
8:59
Speaker 1: we should do this to get the show started here
9:02
Speaker 1: on this Friday morning. Let the off season begin. And
9:06
Speaker 1: there are a number of players on this team that
9:10
Speaker 1: we deem valuable. How valuable John Schneider and Mike McDonald
9:13
Speaker 1: are going to deem them that remains to be seen.
9:16
Speaker 1: But this is a pretty good list of players, and
9:19
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'd like to keep some of them. Ken Walker, Rashid,
9:22
Speaker 1: Shaheed boy A, Mafe, Josh Jones, Kobe Bryant, Riek Woollen,
9:26
Speaker 1: Josh Job. They are all free agents heading into this
9:30
Speaker 1: off season, and some of them are going to say goodbye.
9:33
Speaker 1: And part of the reason they're going to say goodbye
9:35
Speaker 1: is because, whether or not it's conscious or subconscious, teams
9:40
Speaker 1: that play on Super Bowl champions tend to have their
9:44
Speaker 1: value go up right before free agency begins. And so
9:49
Speaker 1: John and Mike have to make smart financial decisions. And
9:53
Speaker 1: like I said, some will stay and some will go
9:56
Speaker 1: during the course of this process, and so we'll we're
10:00
Speaker 1: about we're less than a month from the free agency frenzy,
10:03
Speaker 1: and the conversations pretty much are already underway. Yeah, the
10:08
Speaker 1: I mean, the the entire off season. I mean, I
10:10
Speaker 1: don't know for sure if there ever is a day off.
10:12
Speaker 1: Maybe it looked like John took the day of the
10:15
Speaker 1: parade off from maybe doing you know.
10:18
Speaker 7: Doing any work per se.
10:19
Speaker 3: But yeah, the next day, you know that they're on
10:21
Speaker 3: the horn trying to figure out how they're going to
10:23
Speaker 3: be able to fit all this stuff under the cap.
10:26
Speaker 3: And they're not gonna be able to fit everything. They're
10:28
Speaker 3: not going to be able to sign everybody. So now
10:29
Speaker 3: it's the picking and choosing what's your priority and what
10:33
Speaker 3: you like out there that are going to become fruits
10:36
Speaker 3: you can pick off of other rosters free agency wise.
10:39
Speaker 3: And so it's going to be an interesting one because
10:41
Speaker 3: you know, you know, the guys on the team, and
10:44
Speaker 3: I'm sure everybody in that in that front office is.
10:46
Speaker 1: Like, we can get back here and do this thing again.
10:49
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to make the You're gonna be
10:50
Speaker 1: lost them all. You're feeling that.
10:52
Speaker 3: Way, Yeah, you're gonna have to You're gonna have to
10:53
Speaker 3: make the right decisions. I mean, you're gonna those those
10:55
Speaker 3: are holes, you know, you're you know, losing a couple
10:59
Speaker 3: of guys out of that defensive backfield. You know, a
11:01
Speaker 3: few guys out of the defensive backfield is not something
11:03
Speaker 3: that's going to be easy to replace. So I would
11:05
Speaker 3: imagine they're going to try to bring somebody back and
11:08
Speaker 3: then fill in the holes that are left with the
11:10
Speaker 3: other couple guys leaving. And yeah, the backfield, the running
11:13
Speaker 3: backfield is going to be an interesting one. How they
11:16
Speaker 3: do that with Ken Walker because you're sure his price
11:19
Speaker 3: has gone up after winning the MVP.
11:20
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this, I mean, I would think that
11:23
Speaker 1: they would like to try to run it back.
11:26
Speaker 7: They will bring them all back at our price.
11:30
Speaker 1: I think they like nothing more than for all seven
11:33
Speaker 1: of those guys that I mentioned say we will take
11:35
Speaker 1: whatever you pay us so that we can keep this
11:38
Speaker 1: team together. I mean, that's the ideal scenario, but we
11:43
Speaker 1: know that's not going to happen. This is the opportunity
11:46
Speaker 1: for most of these guys to get the biggest contract
11:48
Speaker 1: that they're ever going to have, and money is what's
11:50
Speaker 1: going to talk during this period, no matter how good
11:53
Speaker 1: a feeling that they have about the super Bowl. And
11:55
Speaker 1: I'll say this about John Schneider, he knows that this
11:58
Speaker 1: is a business. He will not get sentimental about any
12:01
Speaker 1: of these players. If he brings anybody back, it's gonna
12:05
Speaker 1: be back on a deal that is right for this
12:08
Speaker 1: team's projections and this team's goals of winning a championship
12:12
Speaker 1: again this year. So he not gonna give any extra
12:15
Speaker 1: He's not gonna pay some sentimental tax to ken Walker.
12:18
Speaker 1: Ken Walker wants to come back. Seahawks. I know would
12:21
Speaker 1: like to have him back, but they're going to bring
12:23
Speaker 1: him back at his price, and it might end up
12:26
Speaker 1: actually cost me a ken Walker because this is a
12:29
Speaker 1: business at the end of the day.
12:30
Speaker 9: Well yeah, and especially with a running back because of
12:32
Speaker 9: the risk of injury, and especially with ken Walker who's
12:35
Speaker 9: already dealt with injuries. I mean, who knows how long
12:37
Speaker 9: any NFL career will last, but it seems like it's
12:40
Speaker 9: particularly hard with a running back. But it is interesting
12:42
Speaker 9: because I do feel like this is the time of year,
12:44
Speaker 9: especially it's even worse this year because of winning the
12:47
Speaker 9: Super Bowl, where I get I'm very where I've become
12:50
Speaker 9: very naive and I'm like, I don't know, I think
12:52
Speaker 9: these guys just really like playing for the Seahawks, so
12:55
Speaker 9: they'll probably make it work.
12:57
Speaker 1: And it's like that's not gonna happen.
12:59
Speaker 9: But you do feel it's even heightened after coming off
13:01
Speaker 9: a Super Bowl win, like you sometimes start to think, oh, yeah,
13:04
Speaker 9: see these guys know what they're building. I mean, after
13:07
Speaker 9: the super Bowl, Cooper Cut put out on Twitter how
13:10
Speaker 9: it started, how it's going, And it started with Jaron
13:12
Speaker 9: Reid sending him a DM on Instagram saying, hey man,
13:16
Speaker 9: you got to come up to Seattle.
13:17
Speaker 8: We're building something special here.
13:19
Speaker 9: And then that how it ended was them hugging after
13:22
Speaker 9: winning the Super Bowl, and so you start to think like, well, yeah,
13:25
Speaker 9: these players are all bought in, so this will happen.
13:28
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Yeah, they're all coming back. Cooper Cup's going
13:31
Speaker 1: to probably take less. Now, yeah, where else are they
13:34
Speaker 1: going to go? That's gonna be as great. Sam Darnold
13:36
Speaker 1: will just go in and say I'll just play for
13:37
Speaker 1: a team jacket, No, thirty three million dollars right there
13:40
Speaker 1: we go, Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice. Look it's interesting,
13:45
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, you can go to any website
13:48
Speaker 1: and you can see the projections and financials, and I'm
13:51
Speaker 1: not here to tell you that those are right or
13:55
Speaker 1: that that they're wrong.
13:57
Speaker 7: I don't know.
13:58
Speaker 1: I have my own opinions about them and what looks
14:02
Speaker 1: high and what looks low. But you can pick out
14:04
Speaker 1: any website, but I'm just going to use bo track.
14:06
Speaker 1: That's one that a lot of people are familiar with.
14:08
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, they have Ken Walker projected to
14:11
Speaker 1: make nine million dollars on the free agent market. Just
14:14
Speaker 1: to put that in perspective, that's per year, per year.
14:18
Speaker 1: Just put it in perspective. That's lower than what they
14:20
Speaker 1: think Josh job is going to get. That's lower than
14:24
Speaker 1: what they That's almost half of what they think Kobe
14:27
Speaker 1: Bryant's going to get. What it's lower than what they
14:31
Speaker 1: think Boye Mafe is going to get. And it's nearly
14:35
Speaker 1: half of what they think Rashid Shaheed's going to be
14:38
Speaker 1: worth on the free agent market. I don't buy any
14:41
Speaker 1: of that, but I'm just don't kill the messenger. That's
14:44
Speaker 1: just what I am reporting. And obviously that's a big
14:48
Speaker 1: statement about the running back position and how it is
14:52
Speaker 1: still valued because there's a belief that if we have
14:55
Speaker 1: the right system and the right offensive line and the
14:58
Speaker 1: right quarterback, that they're there are plenty of guys we
15:00
Speaker 1: can plug into the right running back position and we
15:03
Speaker 1: can still have a successful running game. So even though
15:07
Speaker 1: the running back's power has gotten increased here as of late,
15:11
Speaker 1: it still has not recovered completely like it was when
15:15
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and the feeling was that was
15:17
Speaker 1: the most important position that you would get. Yeah, maybe
15:21
Speaker 1: maybe outside of quarterback. You gotta have that guy that
15:24
Speaker 1: touches the ball thirty times a game. Well, we don't
15:26
Speaker 1: have running backs to touch the ball thirty times a
15:28
Speaker 1: game anymore. And they also aren't the highest paid guys
15:31
Speaker 1: on the team. In most cases, they are underpaid nearly
15:35
Speaker 1: across the board. But I will say this if this
15:37
Speaker 1: is accurate. I mean, based on the conversation we had
15:40
Speaker 1: yesterday in the roundtable, as much as I'd like Rashid
15:42
Speaker 1: Shaheed and Ken Walker back, man, I'm that's a no
15:47
Speaker 1: brainer to me. Rashid Shaheed at fourteen million dollars versus
15:50
Speaker 1: Ken Walker coming off that postseason at nine million dollars
15:55
Speaker 1: a year, I'm taking Walker over Rashid Shaheed and that
15:59
Speaker 1: deal all day long, especially based on the fact that
16:02
Speaker 1: Tory Horton is really the take the top off the
16:06
Speaker 1: defense deep threat that they think he's going to be.
16:10
Speaker 1: Why do you need two of those guys? Certainly, I
16:12
Speaker 1: don't need two of them with one of them making
16:14
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars, I'm not sure Rashid Shaheed's kick returning
16:18
Speaker 1: abilities are going to warrant a salary that high from
16:22
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, who have difficult financial decisions to make. To me,
16:25
Speaker 1: that's a no brainer. I mean, I think ken Walker's
16:28
Speaker 1: going to be in another uniform next year. But if
16:31
Speaker 1: Spo Trek's got it right, I'm going to try to
16:33
Speaker 1: work out ken Walker at nine million per year over
16:36
Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed at fourteen million per year all day long.
16:39
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I don't Yeah, I don't know if
16:42
Speaker 3: I trust those things with their reference points, you know.
16:46
Speaker 3: To me, if I'm just my personal opinion, I think
16:48
Speaker 3: ken Walker's probably a little bit more than that, and
16:50
Speaker 3: I think Rashid's probably a little bit worth a little
16:52
Speaker 3: bit less than the fourteen that they have him at.
16:55
Speaker 1: And so, but if you just go based on those numbers,
16:57
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
16:58
Speaker 6: Now.
16:59
Speaker 3: I would also say, while Tory Horton is probably the
17:02
Speaker 3: air apparent to you know, the X or the why
17:06
Speaker 3: to Jackson Smith and Jigba being the X and who
17:09
Speaker 3: knows what the Cooper Cup situation you know, if he's
17:12
Speaker 3: just that third wide receiver or your two A whatever
17:14
Speaker 3: you want to call it, your possession receiver, if he
17:16
Speaker 3: wants to come back and stay in the hometown and
17:18
Speaker 3: try to run it back and if that works out, fine,
17:22
Speaker 3: But if it's between Rashid and Tory Horton, I'm probably
17:25
Speaker 3: going Tory Horton. He's younger, he's more, less expensive, and
17:29
Speaker 3: you you don't need the extra guy. Now, you know,
17:32
Speaker 3: you just saw basically after Tory Horton went down and.
17:36
Speaker 7: Then they picked up Rashid.
17:37
Speaker 3: That was a nice way of you know, you can't
17:40
Speaker 3: basically set your roster expecting that there's going to be
17:43
Speaker 3: an injury because you don't know where the injuries are
17:45
Speaker 3: gonna happen. You just know there's going to be injuries.
17:47
Speaker 3: So I'm sure that they're going to try to find
17:49
Speaker 3: a way of like spreading it out over everybody to
17:52
Speaker 3: get as many of them back as possible. But if
17:54
Speaker 3: you're just having a pick between one of the two,
17:56
Speaker 3: ken Walker or Rashid, I'm with you.
17:58
Speaker 7: I'm taking ken Walker at that price point, I'm taking yeah, yep.
18:03
Speaker 1: My expectation is is that they're going to offer like
18:08
Speaker 1: four years forty to ken Walker, and to me, that
18:11
Speaker 1: is something like, all right, you're you're coming off of
18:14
Speaker 1: outstanding here, You're still young. By running back standards, we
18:17
Speaker 1: did protect some of your carries this past year. Maybe
18:21
Speaker 1: you figured something out, Maybe we figured out something about
18:25
Speaker 1: how to use you. We think you're valuable enough that
18:28
Speaker 1: we'll go if that's market value, we'll go a little
18:30
Speaker 1: over market value.
18:31
Speaker 7: To keep you.
18:31
Speaker 1: But I think that he's going way over market value.
18:34
Speaker 1: I think the running back is kind of projecting back
18:37
Speaker 1: up again. If it was a stock, I think it's
18:39
Speaker 1: going back up again. And I think, as I pointed
18:42
Speaker 1: out earlier this week, there are teams with more money
18:45
Speaker 1: and a lot more desperation to get good than what
18:48
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are. I would imagine it's going to go
18:51
Speaker 1: at least twelve million a year for ken Walker. Somebody
18:54
Speaker 1: I think is going to be willing to pay that
18:56
Speaker 1: in the offseason, and I think that John Schneider will
18:58
Speaker 1: balk at that. Now, what he could do is he
19:01
Speaker 1: could play the free agent tag and just one more year,
19:04
Speaker 1: but that figures at fourteen.
19:05
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was gonna say a franchise tag option is
19:08
Speaker 9: higher than I would want.
19:09
Speaker 1: Well, it's yes, but it is committing to just one season, yeah,
19:14
Speaker 1: you know, And so if you wanted to keep him,
19:16
Speaker 1: you know, I'd keep Ken Walker at fourteen million dollars
19:19
Speaker 1: a year before I'd keep Rashid Shaheed at fourteen million
19:23
Speaker 1: dollars a year because I've got Tory Horton where I
19:25
Speaker 1: don't have anything right now at the running back.
19:28
Speaker 8: When Zach Charbone is coming back.
19:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, running back position. But certainly John Schneider, as I
19:33
Speaker 1: mentioned before, I mean, he's got seventy over seventy million
19:36
Speaker 1: dollars in cap space to work with.
19:38
Speaker 7: He's and even that is.
19:41
Speaker 1: I mean NFL math is not the same as real math.
19:44
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got more than that to spend, and
19:47
Speaker 1: he's got certainly his eye on other free agents. With
19:50
Speaker 1: he and Mike McDonald being in lockstep right now, that
19:53
Speaker 1: could actually possibly make this team better. But a lot
19:57
Speaker 1: of decisions to make there are every off season. Some
20:00
Speaker 1: of those players that I mentioned are not going to
20:02
Speaker 1: be back next year and some are.
20:04
Speaker 7: And that's just the bottom line.
20:05
Speaker 1: So hopefully you didn't buy a boy a Mafe jersey
20:10
Speaker 1: for your kid at Christmas. I didn't you get because
20:13
Speaker 1: he might be one of the ones that's out, but
20:16
Speaker 1: but we shall see.
20:17
Speaker 7: It's gonna be fun.
20:18
Speaker 1: And today we get the conversation started with Greg Bell
20:21
Speaker 1: at seven oh five.
20:23
Speaker 7: Let's find out what else is.
20:24
Speaker 2: On tape, What's on Tell, What's on TEP?
20:31
Speaker 1: Greg Bell at seven oh five, Dustin Nickerson at seven thirty,
20:34
Speaker 1: and your Oat Show today at eight o'clock to wrap
20:37
Speaker 1: up the week. The weekend, the NBA All Stars will

Speaker 1: be on display. It'll be the first time in twenty
20:43
Speaker 1: two years Lebron James is not an NBA All Star,
20:47
Speaker 1: which is pretty crazy.
20:49
Speaker 7: Also, we are.
20:51
Speaker 1: Expecting some news here in Seattle soon about something very
20:55
Speaker 1: important to the city, and maybe we'll get a little
20:59
Speaker 1: bit of information from Adam Silver coming up this weekend.
21:02
Speaker 1: He usually does speak at NBA All Star Weekend, and
21:05
Speaker 1: I would imagine expansion is going to be one of
21:08
Speaker 1: the bigger topics that will be discussed. We'll talk about
21:11
Speaker 1: that here in a matter of minutes. College basketball U
21:14

Speaker 1: home to a bad Penn State team. The Olympics continue on.
21:28
Speaker 1: Team USA hit the ice last night in the Hockey
21:31
Speaker 1: Arena and they won over Latvia. Finally, we settle our
21:34
Speaker 1: score on the ice with Latvia. It's about time Latvians
21:39
Speaker 1: five to one the final score there. And Mariners spring
21:42
Speaker 1: training is certainly underway. We will provide a little bit
21:47
Speaker 1: of spring training coverage preview for you during our four
21:50
Speaker 1: hours together here on Chuck and Buck. But coming up
21:53
Speaker 1: next we will discuss NBA All Star weekend. There are
21:56
Speaker 1: two huge topics that everybody is waiting for Adam Silver

22:34
Speaker 5: without y'all. Appreciate y'all. I appreciate the way y'all embraced me.
22:39
Speaker 5: I know I didn't get drafted here. I know I
22:41
Speaker 5: didn't start my career here, but I just knew as
22:44
Speaker 5: soon as I got here this is a special place.
22:46
Speaker 5: The way y'all backed this team, through the through the
22:48
Speaker 5: good and the bad.
22:50
Speaker 1: Man.
22:50
Speaker 7: I just knew all specially man.
22:53
Speaker 1: It takes a journey.
22:54
Speaker 5: It takes a whole community to push in the right
22:57
Speaker 5: direction to get to this point. And I appreciate y'all.
23:00
Speaker 5: And he were not doing We're coming back next year.
23:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, who was the last one? That was Leonard Williams. Oh,
23:15
Speaker 1: that whole thing was first it was a J.
23:17
Speaker 5: Barner.
23:17
Speaker 1: We did not care. Then Yeah, the last whole thing
23:19
Speaker 1: was Leonard.
23:20
Speaker 10: Oh.
23:20
Speaker 1: I knew the Leonard, but I didn't hear him say
23:23
Speaker 1: I ain't blanking leaving.
23:25
Speaker 8: Hey, you know, there was lots of swearing that happened.
23:27
Speaker 1: Why was why was he even thinking that we were
23:29
Speaker 1: thinking he was leaving? No, he's not free agent? Was
23:32
Speaker 1: he thinking about?
23:33
Speaker 7: Think? Did he think we thought he was retiring?
23:36
Speaker 8: I don't know. All I know is that was marked
23:38

23:45
Speaker 7: on vacation.
23:46
Speaker 8: Oh, he's gonna cement his feet to the ground here.

23:54
Speaker 1: do like me the big cat man. I like. I
23:56
Speaker 1: like the way he comes off. I like the way
23:58
Speaker 1: that he's embraced the city. He seems like he just
24:01
Speaker 1: seems so miserable in his first half of his career,
24:05
Speaker 1: and it's like now he seems so content and so wellppy. Yeah,
24:09

Speaker 7: We're going to dive headlong.
25:45
Speaker 1: Into Marinder spring training when we are there, starting Monday
25:48

25:51

26:30
Speaker 10: Well, you'll be in Arizona.
26:31
Speaker 5: You don't.
26:32
Speaker 10: You won't even think Seahawks will be Mariners to the wall.
26:35
Speaker 10: That's good.
26:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, they hire a no offensive coordinator. Yeah, we're calling you.
26:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I call you unfortunately. Yeah, So don't don't turn
26:44
Speaker 3: your phone off, Greg. I mean, I guess we could
26:48
Speaker 3: call somebody else.
26:50
Speaker 7: I really don't want to.
26:52
Speaker 10: M all right, you know where I live.
26:56
Speaker 1: Okay, down there. Oh, we're gonna have fun.
26:59
Speaker 7: Don't worry. Our plan is to talk. Our plan is
27:02
Speaker 7: to talk all baseball next week.
27:04
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying things happened. Things happened.
27:08
Speaker 10: It's a little early in that free good.
27:10
Speaker 1: No, this is we always go this week. Now, it
27:13
Speaker 1: is a week earlier because of the WBC. It's a
27:16
Speaker 1: WBC or so it's a little bit earlier.
27:19
Speaker 10: I remember from covering my many years covering spring trainings
27:22
Speaker 10: as a beat writer. But there was frost on the
27:24
Speaker 10: ground and little nippy in the February part of spring training.
27:28
Speaker 7: Bucket had to forge towel pants a couple of years ago.
27:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was my first year. They went right, and
27:34
Speaker 3: I just didn't. I was like spring training, I took
27:37
Speaker 3: I never took pants to spring training. And that was
27:40
Speaker 3: because usually when you're running around, I didn't get cold.
27:42
Speaker 3: And yet usually at six am, that's thegether year.
27:46
Speaker 9: You had to get a coat. And then Steven Susan
27:48
Speaker 9: made fun of you because it was small.
27:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's the fat guy and the little coat
27:52
Speaker 3: that happens for for what it's worth, Mule and them.
27:56
Speaker 3: They don't bring jackets for three hundred and fifty pound guys.
27:58
Speaker 7: Uh, spring training for some reason, I don't know what.
28:02
Speaker 1: One year, you had to drop firewood if I remember,
28:04
Speaker 1: and uh form a little small roasting pit.
28:08
Speaker 7: Yeah. It has to warm your tutsies.
28:10
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, nobody else called tutsis when they're doing
28:13
Speaker 3: spring training coverage.
28:14
Speaker 1: Anyway, we hope that we can give you a week
28:18
Speaker 1: away from us because you've earned it. But let's go
28:21
Speaker 1: ahead and launch into this off season and some of
28:24
Speaker 1: the conversations that are going to be held here over
28:27
Speaker 1: the course of the next month. And let's start with Ocie.
28:30
Speaker 1: Where is it set right now? What do you expect
28:32
Speaker 1: to come out in the wash?
28:35
Speaker 10: They're interviewing internal candidates, McDonald said Monday told us as
28:39
Speaker 10: early as Tuesday they were going to start interviewing internal candidates.
28:43
Speaker 10: Says that and uh Dictete and Jinoko, those are the
28:49
Speaker 10: three on the staff who immediately come to mind as
28:52
Speaker 10: someone that would be interested in doing that. And incidentally,
28:55
Speaker 10: Frismond Jackson is being interviewed by Kubiak for the offense
28:58
Speaker 10: of coordinator with the Raiders, and that if they're going
29:00
Speaker 10: to the Seahawks wide receiver coach, who has been here
29:04
Speaker 10: even before McDonald got here, then they are keeping their
29:09
Speaker 10: main guys. And I've been told that they're keeping their
29:12
Speaker 10: main guys, I mean offensive line coaches, the quarterbacks coach.
29:18
Speaker 10: They need to know because the offensive line coach, John Betton,
29:20
Speaker 10: as I'd mentioned, is so key to what they do,
29:22
Speaker 10: what they did this year and what they do going forward.
29:26
Speaker 10: So it doesn't look like it's going to be the
29:28
Speaker 10: raid of the Seahawks staff by klick Kubiak, he wasn't
29:31
Speaker 10: here long enough to have that cachet with Mike McDonald.
29:35
Speaker 10: McDonald's not going to let him come in here and
29:37
Speaker 10: leaving just one year and take all the main key
29:40
Speaker 10: assistance with them to the Raiders.
29:41
Speaker 3: It appears, Gee, help me understand that part, because I
29:44
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I get what you're saying, where
29:46
Speaker 3: he's like, well, you've only been here one year. You
29:48
Speaker 3: don't get to just bring in guys or take guys
29:51
Speaker 3: on your way out. And yet I mean, I don't
29:54
Speaker 3: understand how they could stop him. Was it just a
29:56
Speaker 3: gentleman's agreement, like, hey, we're letting you finish, you know,
29:59
Speaker 3: finish off this deal with the Raiders, maybe a little
30:01
Speaker 3: bit prematurely, or or just hey, we understand you're going
30:05
Speaker 3: to get some interest to be a head coach. Don't
30:08
Speaker 3: go trying to dismantle us from the inside out.
30:11
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's exactly that they if push came to shove.
30:14
Speaker 10: NFL rules are if you offer an assistant coach a
30:18
Speaker 10: promotion both in pay and title, that you can't as
30:20
Speaker 10: a team block that. But it's McDonald just talking to
30:23
Speaker 10: the side of kuby X and wait a minute you
30:26
Speaker 10: just got here, you're not going to be rift our staff,
30:30
Speaker 10: And yes that and it's the relationships that McDonald has
30:35
Speaker 10: with his assistants, including Kubiak, that would prevent that. But
30:38
Speaker 10: you're right by a rule, if the Raiders offered, say
30:41
Speaker 10: Andrew Jenoko the quarterbacks coach, a often's a coordinated job
30:44
Speaker 10: both of raising title and pay. Can officially cannot officially.
30:49
Speaker 1: Block Greg mellon is whether it's our Sauks insider. Of course,
30:53
Speaker 1: join us all football season long thanks to a couple
30:55
Speaker 1: of diamond collection prosecco, and you can gobble up all
31:00
Speaker 1: all of his information there at the Newstribune dot com
31:03
Speaker 1: and follow him at g Bell Seattle throughout the off season.
31:06
Speaker 1: But the NFL has decided to give him like seven
31:08
Speaker 1: hours to rest and relax and recover from a long
31:12
Speaker 1: football season of coverage. Let's talk about Ken Walker. That
31:17
Speaker 1: seems to be the number one off season story. I'm
31:21
Speaker 1: sure they want to keep him. How does it look
31:24
Speaker 1: in terms of whether or not they will keep him.
31:27
Speaker 10: I'm not sure they want to keep him, because they've
31:29
Speaker 10: had a chance to keep him now for a year.
31:32
Speaker 10: I understood why this time last year they didn't want
31:35
Speaker 10: to give Hi an extension his injury history, the injury
31:37
Speaker 10: history of the position, but not now and not during
31:41
Speaker 10: the season either. When they did the job share with
31:44
Speaker 10: sharbon A, part of it was to manage Kenth Walker
31:47
Speaker 10: through the season and get him through seventeen games, playing
31:50
Speaker 10: them all for the first time in his career. Part
31:52
Speaker 10: of it also was an audition for Zach Charbonay to
31:54
Speaker 10: see if he would be worthy of a lead back roll.
31:58
Speaker 10: Sharbon's contract ends after next year because he was drafted
32:01
Speaker 10: a year after Walker. Cheaper, younger is usually the way
32:05
Speaker 10: NFL teams want to go have to go because of
32:08
Speaker 10: the salary cap. And if the Seahawks deemed that charbon
32:12
Speaker 10: A can produce at something of the level of Walker
32:16
Speaker 10: in this offense, then they would let Walker walk. And
32:19
Speaker 10: it looked like that was what most of the season
32:21
Speaker 10: it was going to be. And then charbon A has
32:24
Speaker 10: a season ending injury in ACL tair that will take
32:26
Speaker 10: eight to twelve months to recover. He had happened in January,
32:30
Speaker 10: which means mid August at the earliest is the typical
32:33
Speaker 10: return time from ACL. Mid August is the middle. Attorney
32:36
Speaker 10: camp to me that shaboney injury changed everything. The problem
32:41
Speaker 10: with the Seahawks now if they want to come back
32:43
Speaker 10: to Walker is his price. Of course, will never be
32:45
Speaker 10: hired twenty five year old Super Bowl MVP who carried
32:48
Speaker 10: it through the playoffs. But also Walker has new representatives
32:52
Speaker 10: as of three weeks ago, as we've talked about a
32:55
Speaker 10: few times, he fired his agents and hired David Canter
32:58
Speaker 10: and the Eurosports Group, but based in Florida the week
33:00
Speaker 10: of the NFC title game, So his new agents don't
33:04
Speaker 10: have any reason for say to say to Kenneth Walker,
33:10
Speaker 10: you should listen to the Seahawks offer. They have every
33:12
Speaker 10: reason to say they had their chance. Go try free
33:15
Speaker 10: agency and see how much the market will bear you.
33:18
Speaker 10: This is the first time in your life you could
33:20
Speaker 10: be open market free agent, open to the highest bidder.
33:23
Speaker 10: And now that they're only four weeks from that market opening,
33:25
Speaker 10: March ninth is the negotiating window. March eleventh is when
33:29
Speaker 10: officially the deals can be creating, deals can get announced.
33:33
Speaker 10: I see very little reason for Walker to accept whatever
33:36
Speaker 10: the Seahawks eleventh hour offer might be. But having said
33:40
Speaker 10: all of that, he definitely does want to stay here.
33:43
Speaker 10: And they all say that after they win a Super
33:44
Speaker 10: Bowl of course, but it's true in Walker's case, he
33:47
Speaker 10: has said that from the start, this is where he
33:50
Speaker 10: wants to be. He's very comfortable. He somewhat likes the
33:55
Speaker 10: behind the scenes nature that the Seahawks usually are around
33:58
Speaker 10: the league, being out here in Southeast Alaska as we are,
34:02
Speaker 10: and he's got a coaching staff that obviously values the
34:05
Speaker 10: running game, which Walker couldn't say that the whole four
34:09
Speaker 10: years he was here. They will make a play for him.
34:12
Speaker 10: It's a question of how tempted Walker will be to
34:15
Speaker 10: see what his open value market is. I think if
34:18
Speaker 10: it goes to free agency, he's gone. I think he'll
34:20
Speaker 10: get a deal that Siewks won't want to match. But
34:23
Speaker 10: we've mentioned before NFL general managers are very leary of
34:26
Speaker 10: giving big bucks multi year contracts for running backs because
34:29
Speaker 10: of their injury history.
34:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, Greg, I'm with you, and so of the rest
34:34
Speaker 3: of the free agents or free agents to be I mean,
34:39
Speaker 3: give me a guy that you think might be top
34:41
Speaker 3: of their list to give money. We have Rashid Shaheed,
34:45
Speaker 3: Rik Wohlan, probably boy Mafe, Kobe Bryant, and Josh Joe Ball,
34:49
Speaker 3: all significant players on the Super Bowl championship team of
34:52
Speaker 3: those guys. If they're going to dish out the big
34:55
Speaker 3: money and it's not If it's not to Ken Walker,
34:57
Speaker 3: who would you think it's going to be.
35:00
Speaker 10: I think Rashid Shaheed, and I think they could get
35:03
Speaker 10: him in a deal that wouldn't be as rich as
35:05
Speaker 10: potentially Walkers because of the position. He's an All Pro
35:09
Speaker 10: Pro Bowl kick returner and not so much as Hugh
35:14
Speaker 10: brought out yesterday. Top wide receiver. They think they have
35:17
Speaker 10: a top wide receiver that's going to be back in
35:19
Speaker 10: time for training camp next year, Tory Horton. And we've
35:22
Speaker 10: only seen half of the season of what Tory Horton
35:24
Speaker 10: could be and the two touchdowns against Washington, he looked
35:27
Speaker 10: everything like why they drafted him, and that was the
35:30
Speaker 10: game that he had the season ending injury. They believe
35:33
Speaker 10: he's going to be back in time for training camp.
35:35
Speaker 10: In fact, Tory Horton, my photographer shout of picture Tory
35:39
Speaker 10: Horton walking the parade route on Wednesday, which is a
35:42
Speaker 10: good sign that his leg is signed to play. So
35:45
Speaker 10: they think they have the receiver, the deep the speedy
35:49
Speaker 10: deep threat receiver in Horton, and they could keep the
35:53
Speaker 10: speedy deep threat while the game changing kick returner in
35:57
Speaker 10: Rashid Shaheed. Shaheed proclaimed the first day he was here
36:01
Speaker 10: that he wants to retire here. He elected so much
36:03
Speaker 10: in Seattle, and then he did what he did, and
36:06
Speaker 10: I said, you could argue was an MVP of the
36:08
Speaker 10: second half of the season, including that Rams comeback game
36:11
Speaker 10: and the jump started a division championship, a division playoff
36:15
Speaker 10: game against the forty nine ers. I think seats Dan
36:18
Speaker 10: and I think that's the first priority. I think that
36:20
Speaker 10: might be the first re up signing we're going to
36:23
Speaker 10: hear the offseason. They have a depth of corners that
36:27
Speaker 10: we know. They had three corners playing two spots, Job, Woolen,
36:31
Speaker 10: and Witherspoon. I think Woolan's gonna end up leaving and
36:37
Speaker 10: he's been valuable to the team. That he also is
36:41
Speaker 10: going to command money for as much playing time as
36:43
Speaker 10: he had on a rookie contract, and the fact that
36:46
Speaker 10: he was a pro bowler as a rookie, and he
36:48
Speaker 10: has unique physical talents. Again, players that are this close
36:54
Speaker 10: to being a free agent for the first time generational wealth.
36:57
Speaker 10: We're talking one hundred million dollar plus. Go find that
37:00
Speaker 10: market and see what it.
37:01
Speaker 1: Is of Bryant and Job which is more likely to stay.
37:08
Speaker 10: I think it would take more to keep Kobe Bryant,
37:12
Speaker 10: who has started more and played more snaps. When other
37:15
Speaker 10: teams look at him, they would value him more. I
37:19
Speaker 10: think Mike McDonald would value keeping their starting safety. He
37:23
Speaker 10: really likes Kobe Bryant. I think job could stay and
37:27
Speaker 10: it wouldn't be as expensive, part time starter, former waiver
37:32
Speaker 10: pickup from Philadelphia. I think they keep both, but the
37:36
Speaker 10: money guy would cost them a little more, and they
37:38
Speaker 10: will spend on is Kobe Bryant Again. They have seventy
37:41
Speaker 10: three million dollars in sorry cap space, which is a
37:43
Speaker 10: lot of money for them at this time. But part
37:45
Speaker 10: of the reason guys they have that much money, they
37:47
Speaker 10: have only forty three players under contract for next year,
37:51
Speaker 10: and you're going to have fifty three any active roster,
37:53
Speaker 10: So they got to buy ten spots. And when you
37:56
Speaker 10: buy ten spots, that gets gobbled up rather quickly. It
38:01
Speaker 10: makes it interesting how much money they're going to offer
38:03
Speaker 10: their big free agent, their key free agent starters they're
38:06
Speaker 10: due to free agency?
38:07
Speaker 1: Well, what is number one on the shopping list? If
38:10
Speaker 1: if John gets to splurge on something not in house,
38:14
Speaker 1: what position do you think that he's going to target.
38:19
Speaker 10: I think it's the line of scrimmage. I think they're
38:22
Speaker 10: going to add to the competition for Anthony Bradford at
38:25
Speaker 10: red guard. I think they're going to add to linebacker,
38:27
Speaker 10: even though Drake Thomas was an out of nowhere find
38:32
Speaker 10: inside weakside linebacker next to Ernest Jones. And they don't
38:36
Speaker 10: have enough depth of the defensive line because they never
38:38
Speaker 10: have enough depth of the defensive line. As great as
38:40
Speaker 10: his front four played, they played a lot of snaps
38:42
Speaker 10: this year. Byron Murphy went way up, I mean, from
38:45
Speaker 10: forty nine to seventy percent. Leonard Williams is not getting
38:49
Speaker 10: younger thirty three. Neither is the Marcus Lawrence will be
38:53
Speaker 10: thirty four next year. For next season, they need depth.
38:57
Speaker 10: It's the defensive line bringing back Jared Reed to a
39:00
Speaker 10: question the locker room leader, he's going to get offered
39:05
Speaker 10: a deal, probably a shorter term deal. He loves Seattle
39:09
Speaker 10: and is such an integral part of that locker room.
39:10
Speaker 10: I think he'll be back with the probably a one
39:12
Speaker 10: year deal rather than a multi year deal that he's
39:14
Speaker 10: gotten up to now. It's a good problem to have
39:18
Speaker 10: a lot of players who want to be here. A
39:20
Speaker 10: lot of good players, but you can't keep everybody. The
39:23
Speaker 10: league just won't let you. It's the way of cre
39:26
Speaker 10: agency in the salary cap.
39:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt.
39:28
Speaker 1: All right, So how are you going to spend your
39:30
Speaker 1: seven hours of relaxation?
39:33
Speaker 10: I just realized last night that valentine to Day is tomorrow.
39:37
Speaker 10: I didn't know it.
39:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Friday the thirteenth is today. So if you
39:41
Speaker 1: haven't bought Wendy a seventh hen yet to celebrate the
39:45
Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth holiday, you better get on it.
39:48
Speaker 7: Stars are selling out fast.
39:50
Speaker 10: That's true. I got well, she has a lot of
39:53
Speaker 10: severed heads, so that those he's bored with that gift. Cool.
40:00
Speaker 10: One of our traditions of our marriage that I really enjoy.
40:04
Speaker 10: Early in our marriage and we lived in Oakland, we
40:05
Speaker 10: went out to dinner and we had a bad experience,
40:07
Speaker 10: and we decided that the best servers stay home on
40:10
Speaker 10: Valentine's Day and they bring out the rookies, and so
40:13
Speaker 10: ever since then we have homemade lasagna and homemade brownie.
40:16
Speaker 10: I ended up making with the brownies and lazagna at home. Cool.
40:20
Speaker 10: Do that really decadent? I do like Beecher's cheese and
40:24
Speaker 10: all this sin. Oh, but it's a yeah, that's that's
40:27
Speaker 10: what we're gonna do tomorrow night.
40:28
Speaker 1: About belly fla here, yeah, no, look at him, he's
40:32
Speaker 1: got a nag.
40:33
Speaker 10: I cook a little bit that right, It's not an
40:36
Speaker 10: array of things, but I have a few go to states.
40:38
Speaker 1: Is that your Is that your specialty? Like if you
40:40
Speaker 1: had to make a dish? Uh, you know that determined
40:44
Speaker 1: your happiness for the rest of your life. And I
40:46
Speaker 1: got to judge it, what would you serve me? Would
40:48
Speaker 1: it be the lasagna?
40:49
Speaker 10: No, it'd be a it'd be a red pepper mushroom risotto.
40:54
Speaker 1: Oh. I watch a lot of cooking shows, and people
40:58
Speaker 1: can't make risotto. It turns out even like expert chefs.
41:02
Speaker 10: It's true. It's hard to do it very easily. Can
41:05
Speaker 10: make it gravel. It tastes like great nuts. So you
41:07
Speaker 10: got there's a there's a fine line. A lot of
41:09
Speaker 10: red wine or excuse me, white wine. A lot of
41:11
Speaker 10: white wine if you put in the trick for me.
41:17
Speaker 1: All right, Well, have a romantic Friday the thirteenth and
41:21
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day over the next couple of days. Thank you
41:24

Speaker 6: Thank you.
43:37
Speaker 4: One of these times I'm going to get like a
43:39
Speaker 4: proper compliment from you in my introduction, like like not
43:45
Speaker 4: not not a celebrity type, but maybe just maybe it's
43:49
Speaker 4: a celebrity.
43:50
Speaker 6: Maybe you know, this guy is fame adjacent.
43:59
Speaker 1: I love to into the category with Chris Pratt and
44:02
Speaker 1: everybody all celebrity types. I put you in that.
44:04
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I did, were all celebrity times.
44:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
44:08
Speaker 6: Well, thank you for the congratulations. I worked very hard.
44:12
Speaker 6: I earned this through you didn't much stress many steps,
44:16
Speaker 6: So thank you.
44:17
Speaker 4: It's been It's been a fun, fun few days to
44:19
Speaker 4: be a Really it's been a fun month and a
44:21
Speaker 4: half to be a Seahawks fan.
44:23
Speaker 1: Did you have to watch any of it through your hands?
44:25
Speaker 1: I had watched.
44:26
Speaker 3: I know you were on a cruise, you were with
44:28
Speaker 3: other celebrity types and the burgay and whatnot.
44:32
Speaker 6: There was actual celebrities.
44:33
Speaker 3: In that room, celebrity types, I would, so I knew
44:38
Speaker 3: that you were going to be like, I'm so excited
44:39
Speaker 3: to watch it by myself. Did you watch any of
44:42
Speaker 3: it through your hands or was it pretty easy watching for.
44:45
Speaker 6: You my my listen? I was.
44:49
Speaker 4: I was paid to be on that boat, and so
44:52
Speaker 4: it was important that I, uh, you know, be a
44:55
Speaker 4: team player as far as the gatherings go, the social gathering,
45:00
Speaker 4: and so I told myself, I'm gonna go watch the
45:02
Speaker 4: first half here, and as long as things don't get
45:05
Speaker 4: out of hand one way or the other are too stressful, uh,
45:09
Speaker 4: then then I'll stay for the whole game. And uh,
45:12
Speaker 4: and the fact that Nate's paying for the open bar
45:16
Speaker 4: that will probably help me get through it in a
45:18
Speaker 4: lot of different ways. Ends up very stressful, stress free
45:22
Speaker 4: as far as games go, and the open bar really
45:26
Speaker 4: became more of a celebratory open bar, so I watched
45:28
Speaker 4: it all amongst amongst some people who are really bored
45:32
Speaker 4: by the game, which is the best, people who are
45:37
Speaker 4: complaining about the game as you're celebrating.
45:41
Speaker 1: All right, so you sort of, you know, let it
45:44
Speaker 1: be known, you know, in one of your catchphrases as
45:47
Speaker 1: a as a Seattle sports fan, is never a doubt,
45:51
Speaker 1: even when there often is a lot of doubt. So
45:55
Speaker 1: did when did you let go of your doubt during
45:58
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl?
46:02
Speaker 6: Probably? Yeah, probably Drake's pick.
46:07
Speaker 4: That's probably the one where because you know, after they
46:11
Speaker 4: scored the touchdown.
46:13
Speaker 6: It didn't look like that. I mean, you just go.
46:16
Speaker 4: If I played this game with you guys a lot, objective, subjective,
46:21
Speaker 4: subjective or objective, I would go, listen, that was a
46:24
Speaker 4: Fluke touchdown. There's no way they can keep this going.
46:28
Speaker 4: That was too lucky plays subjective. I'm going, well, here
46:31
Speaker 4: comes the collapse. Here we go, this is how it starts.
46:38
Speaker 6: Here we go again one more time.
46:41
Speaker 4: Being a Seattle sports fan. What way are they going
46:44
Speaker 4: to hurt me this time? But once he threw the
46:47
Speaker 4: pick a terrible just right over to anyone, I mean,
46:51
Speaker 4: just who wants it pick? I thought, oh, he might
46:54
Speaker 4: not be very good. And then that's then it felt
46:57
Speaker 4: pretty good. And I went and I got some I
47:00
Speaker 4: went and got myself some more. I got myself another
47:02
Speaker 4: hot pretzel, full hot pretzels being served.
47:05
Speaker 10: I believe that.
47:06
Speaker 7: Yeah.
47:06
Speaker 1: Well it's a cruise ship. You can get all the
47:08
Speaker 1: food you.
47:09
Speaker 6: Want, right exactly.
47:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, open bar and full pretzel. Wow experience and a
47:15
Speaker 1: win exactly and a win?
47:18
Speaker 7: What a life?
47:19
Speaker 3: What possessed you to wear slash purchase the lucid or
47:24
Speaker 3: mask and the poncho thing that I saw you were in?
47:27
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I had spent the day in Coasta Maya, Mexico.
47:32
Speaker 4: When in Rome that was our that was our land day,
47:36
Speaker 4: that was our day where we were actually in Mexico,
47:38
Speaker 4: and and I was cruising the shops and saw the poncho,
47:42
Speaker 4: and then a few shops later I saw the mask
47:45
Speaker 4: and I thought, well, I mean when in Rome, I
47:47
Speaker 4: think this is uh, I think this is meant to
47:49
Speaker 4: be so.
47:52
Speaker 6: Yeah.
47:52
Speaker 4: And also in large party, did you know it did
47:56
Speaker 4: hide some of my negative facial expressions, which my wife
47:59
Speaker 4: preferred because she's like, hey, everyone's having a lot of
48:02
Speaker 4: fun on this cruise and you're kind of bringing the
48:04
Speaker 4: vibes down and I said, I'm sorry that I care
48:07
Speaker 4: too much.
48:12
Speaker 1: Amongst weirdos. Where do you rank amongst the weirdos? If
48:16
Speaker 1: your weirdness on your friends on the ship there.
48:21
Speaker 4: Oh, I would say I'm pretty right in the middle, right, yeah,
48:28
Speaker 4: right in the middle. Nothing crazy, okay, yeah, no, nothing
48:32
Speaker 4: crazy as far as like habits or hobbies or allegations
48:36
Speaker 4: or anything like that.
48:37
Speaker 6: That's great, pretty.
48:41
Speaker 7: Friends, a great group of friends and coworkers.
48:43
Speaker 1: If you're the guy that's standing on the deck in
48:46
Speaker 1: a Mexican wrestling mask and poncho and you're pretty much
48:50
Speaker 1: in the middle, yeah, of them sounds fun?
48:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing super outlandish about that.
48:59
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they're just as one of the comedians.
49:01
Speaker 4: I think that were They're happy that I'm just clothed, honestly.
49:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you end up doing the I mean in celebration,
49:09
Speaker 3: did you go to the front of the ship and
49:12
Speaker 3: do like the Titanic? You know this is you know,
49:15
Speaker 3: have the music playing in the background.
49:18
Speaker 7: Did you do that?
49:18
Speaker 10: Whole? It was?
49:20
Speaker 7: I did?
49:21
Speaker 4: I did, There was some of that. Really what happened
49:24
Speaker 4: is as soon as the clocks hit zero, the three
49:27
Speaker 4: zeros because I was. I was full Cooper Cup, you
49:30
Speaker 4: know I was when I saw three zeros. I don't
49:32
Speaker 4: know if you guys saw that interview, Like, I'm not
49:34
Speaker 4: enjoying any of this until you know, I don't want
49:36
Speaker 4: to watch a series of four on side kicks and
49:39
Speaker 4: touchdowns and we lose this somehow, I'm going to wait
49:42
Speaker 4: for the three zeros.
49:43
Speaker 6: And the nice thing about the puncho really kind of
49:46
Speaker 6: doubles as a cape.
49:48
Speaker 4: And I did a few laps around the boat, absolutely
49:51
Speaker 4: finding the various pockets of Seahawks fans who were watching
49:54
Speaker 4: in various locations. It was a great time, honestly, very
49:58
Speaker 4: memorable place to Washington win.
50:00
Speaker 7: A Super Bowl.
50:01
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And and and you've never played better shuffle board afterwards,
50:05
Speaker 1: I mean you were just so touched on.
50:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, you better believe it. Yeah yeah, win wins all around.
50:12
Speaker 6: All I do is win on the season.
50:16
Speaker 7: When do you start worrying about next season?
50:21
Speaker 6: Probably kickoff.
50:23
Speaker 4: I would say that's one of the great feelings of
50:27
Speaker 4: you know, this is only the second time this has
50:29
Speaker 4: ever happened.
50:29
Speaker 6: This where for me is to Seattle sports fans.
50:32
Speaker 4: You just get you get to bask and and brag
50:36
Speaker 4: and enjoy the entirety of the off season. You're it, baby,
50:40
Speaker 4: You're the one you like all the news cycle and uh,
50:44
Speaker 4: it's so hard to win Super Bowl.
50:46
Speaker 6: So you're so glad.
50:47
Speaker 4: I mean, think about the vibes of Patriots fans right now,
50:50
Speaker 4: the ones you know, or the way they're.
50:52
Speaker 6: Talking about it.
50:52
Speaker 4: It just makes you real glad they want it because
50:55
Speaker 4: I see all the preseason rankings and stuff of the
50:57
Speaker 4: Patriots and they're like, I'll probably missed the plos and
51:00
Speaker 4: Drake will never go back. It makes you really happy
51:03
Speaker 4: that you want it, So I don't think I'll stress
51:05
Speaker 4: it for a while.
51:06
Speaker 6: The weird thing is, I don't know if you guys.
51:09
Speaker 4: Are getting this vibes from the fans and the columns
51:11
Speaker 4: and stuff like that.
51:13
Speaker 6: I feel like it's a Seattle sports fan.
51:15
Speaker 4: You're almost going through an identity crisis right now because
51:20
Speaker 4: now in the two last you know, the Sexton won
51:22
Speaker 4: two super Bowls and so you're like, wait, am I
51:25
Speaker 4: not a loser anymore? Like for me, yeah, exactly, because
51:37
Speaker 4: the whole identity of the Seattle sports fan has been loser.
51:40
Speaker 4: Like we lose in painful, awful, consistent ways. Even the
51:45
Speaker 4: Super Bowl that you did win previously almost got canceled out,
51:49
Speaker 4: but the most heartbreaking loss in Super Bowl history. And
51:53
Speaker 4: you're like, wait a minute, are we do nice things
51:56
Speaker 4: happen to us now? And I think, like the the
52:00
Speaker 4: end of my Wikipedia talks about how how hard it
52:04
Speaker 4: is for like how much I reference Seattle sports pain,
52:07
Speaker 4: And I'm like, am I gonna have to update with
52:09
Speaker 4: my Wikipedia?
52:10
Speaker 6: Are things gonna I don't. You can't update your own Wikipedia.
52:12
Speaker 4: It's like, but you're just man, things might be really
52:15
Speaker 4: turning around for old Dusty here, because you know, it's
52:20
Speaker 4: a different it's a different identity, it's a different I'm
52:23
Speaker 4: seeing the lens the you know, through different lenses.
52:26
Speaker 6: I'm seeing the world through bluer eyes.
52:28
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the first day of the rest
52:30
Speaker 1: of your life, Dustin Nickerson.
52:32
Speaker 6: That's exactly it. That's exactly it.
52:34
Speaker 1: Don't worry.
52:34
Speaker 3: Baseball season right around the corner, and I'm guaranteed they're
52:37
Speaker 3: going to lose at least fifty times.
52:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll tell you. And again, of course, listen, you
52:44
Speaker 6: root for the Mariners.
52:46
Speaker 4: You believe good things can happen. But for me, as
52:49
Speaker 4: a Seattle sports fan, it has not been a competition
52:52
Speaker 4: of Can the Mariners win, Can the Seahawks win? Can
52:54
Speaker 4: the crack and win. It's always been a competition of
52:58
Speaker 4: are we the biggest loser? And he's been neck and
53:03
Speaker 4: neck with Minneapolis and Cleveland for a long time. And
53:09
Speaker 4: I just don't think we are anymore. I just don't
53:12
Speaker 4: think we can rightfully stare our Minneapolis friend who cheers
53:17
Speaker 4: for you know, NFL, and and the NBA and then
53:21
Speaker 4: and and and and and uh you know MLB, and
53:24
Speaker 4: look them in the eyes and go we have it
53:26
Speaker 4: worse for it. That's this Super Bowl means we are
53:29
Speaker 4: not the biggest losers in America anymore.
53:33
Speaker 1: You've suffered a long enough. It's time for you to
53:36
Speaker 1: reap the harvest of you know, your suffering. So get ready, time,
53:41
Speaker 1: Get ready time. That's right.
53:43
Speaker 7: Uh.
53:43
Speaker 1: So, we're going to be in Arizona next week for
53:46
Speaker 1: spring training. I understand you're also going to be in Arizona.
53:50
Speaker 1: We're going to come to your Arizona. Yeah, we're gonna
53:52
Speaker 1: come to your show. Are you going to come out
53:54
Speaker 1: to spring training with us at any point during the
53:56
Speaker 1: week while you have time?
53:58
Speaker 6: Yeah? No, I think I'm throwing out a first at
54:00
Speaker 6: one of them. Actually, I think it might be at
54:02
Speaker 6: the first game. I'm not sure about that. Oh, but
54:04
Speaker 6: that sounds familiar to me.
54:05
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, well yeah, maybe you know, let
54:10
Speaker 1: your friends know all the cool stuff that's happening in
54:12
Speaker 1: your life. He did, he told me, Well, okay, oh yeah.
54:15
Speaker 6: Actley is the only one that texted me, so yeah.
54:18
Speaker 1: Not true.
54:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll well, I'm sure we'll meet up in one
54:26
Speaker 4: way or another. We'll find our way to an open
54:28
Speaker 4: bar and some pretzels.
54:30
Speaker 1: Okay, very good. All right, Well, congratulations, you worked hard
54:34
Speaker 1: for this. You are a super Bowl champion. Again the
54:38
Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches in your life as a sports fan.
54:41
Speaker 7: These days, we.
54:43
Speaker 6: Are no longer the biggest losers. We did it, guys,
54:46
Speaker 6: we did it Seattle.
54:48
Speaker 1: Thanks man, We'll see you next week.
54:50
Speaker 6: Thanks, appreciate you, Bud.
54:52
Speaker 1: All right, Dustin Nickerson joining us right here on Chuck
54:54
Speaker 1: and Buck. Boy, he really did get dark, didn't he?
54:56
Speaker 1: Because I never ever viewed Seattle, even when I didn't
54:59
Speaker 1: live in seat in that category.
55:03
Speaker 7: Uh no, yeah, no me either. Yeah, it has.
55:06
Speaker 3: It is not a super easy place to be a
55:09
Speaker 3: fan of the teams. You know, We've been let down plenty. Yes,
55:14
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't classify it as the biggest loser ever
55:17
Speaker 3: near it.
55:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't even go near it.
55:19
Speaker 1: I don't even think it makes the board on Family Feud, like,
55:23
Speaker 1: you know, top seven answers on the board, we're the
55:27
Speaker 1: biggest you know, sports fans who've known nothing but pain. Yeah,
55:31
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's top seven answers on the board.
55:34
Speaker 8: What's not top seven answers on the board?
55:36
Speaker 1: I was talking about sports sports fans who've experienced the
55:40
Speaker 1: most pain and feel like, you know, are we ever
55:43
Speaker 1: going to win? Like He's Buck and I were just
55:45
Speaker 1: saying that we didn't think. I never really put Seattle
55:48
Speaker 1: in that category. Maybe Mariner fans once upon a time.
55:52
Speaker 9: Yeah, but well, and if you think about before twenty thirteen,
55:56
Speaker 9: I mean, we came close in the Giva Bowl and
55:58
Speaker 9: the ref's ruined it for us.
56:00
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, are people out to get us?
56:02
Speaker 1: I get it, it's the painful way.
56:05
Speaker 9: And then we had something nice, and then we almost
56:07
Speaker 9: had something nice twice, and then we had the play
56:11
Speaker 9: that will be talked about for the rest of history
56:14
Speaker 9: in the one yard line and it was like, oh, no.
56:16
Speaker 8: They do like to hurt us.
56:18
Speaker 1: Man and they stole our basketball.
56:19
Speaker 7: We are a target for pain.
56:21
Speaker 1: All right, Friday, Ojo comes your way at eight o'clock.

57:14
Speaker 1: hearts and our hearts. Let me first say credit is
57:17
Speaker 1: your keyword. Go ahead and Internet ninety three three KJR
57:20
Speaker 1: dot com for your shot at one thousand dollars in
57:23
Speaker 1: powerplay cash. That's credit cr d it alright, let's get
57:29
Speaker 1: it going, man. It seems like it was longer than
57:33
Speaker 1: this past Sunday, But the week started with us celebrating
57:38
Speaker 1: the fact that our local football team, the Seattle Seahawks,
57:42
Speaker 1: are Super BOWLD champions.
57:44
Speaker 10: The Patriots have a first down and the clock is
57:47
Speaker 10: ticking at four thirty eight and they trailed twenty two
57:49
Speaker 10: to seven.
57:50
Speaker 8: Shot comesnap forty four Seattle, he's hennergy top back the ball,
57:53
Speaker 8: three pick up hive, no suit.
57:56
Speaker 11: Running down the five thirty twenty ten five touchdown.
58:04
Speaker 1: It's picked off in a touchdown.
58:07
Speaker 11: Seattle was scored on another turnover and that we'll seeal
58:12
Speaker 11: and it seems right now for the Seahawks. In Super Bowl.
58:15
Speaker 1: Sixty, Kevin Arland Westwood one with the call that's right.
58:20
Speaker 1: The Seahawks won over the New England Patriots Sunday twenty
58:24
Speaker 1: nine to thirteen to claim the Super Bowl title.
58:27
Speaker 7: What a year it has been.
58:30
Speaker 1: Certainly at the beginning of the season, I think this
58:33
Speaker 1: radio station and its hosts had good high hopes for
58:37
Speaker 1: this team, a lot higher than what the national audience
58:39
Speaker 1: that did.
58:40
Speaker 7: We had a little secret.
58:41
Speaker 1: We knew that Mike McDonald had something special cooking. But
58:45
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody in town was predicting a
58:48
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship in year number two of the Michael
58:51
Speaker 1: McDonald era. Much less and as impressive a fashion as
58:55
Speaker 1: they wanted in Mike Florio going as far on Softie
58:58
Speaker 1: and Dick as saying that felt like Division one versus
59:02
Speaker 1: Division two football, saying that the Patriots could have played
59:05
Speaker 1: the Seahawks ten times and lost all ten games. It
59:08
Speaker 1: looked like a mismatch on Sunday. So that's how far
59:11
Speaker 1: Mike Florio took it. But I certainly didn't expect this
59:15
Speaker 1: season to in in a Super Bowl title, much less
59:17
Speaker 1: one in which you ran away with it in the
59:20
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. No.
59:22
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think very many people did.
59:24
Speaker 3: When we did our little draft thing at the beginning,
59:26
Speaker 3: picking wins and loss overs and under, I think all
59:28
Speaker 3: of us were wanting to take the Seahawks over what
59:31
Speaker 3: was eight and a half, yeah and a half to
59:33
Speaker 3: eight and a half, Yeah yeah. I think all of
59:35
Speaker 3: us were thinking that they were going to be better
59:37
Speaker 3: than that. But fourteen wins, that's that's a lofty that's
59:41
Speaker 3: a lofty goal.
59:42
Speaker 7: I don't care if almost double what Vegas said.
59:44
Speaker 3: I mean, coming into next year, they just won in
59:47
Speaker 3: dominating fashion, they're not going to have the over under.
59:50
Speaker 3: It's not going to be fourteen wins, you know. I mean,
59:52
Speaker 3: it's going to be less than that next year. After
59:54
Speaker 3: as impressive as a season as this was. Uh So,
59:58
Speaker 3: I don't think it was an over achievement. I think
1:00:00
Speaker 3: it just is Oh wow, maybe if you weren't paying attention,
1:00:04
Speaker 3: you're paying attention now. Even if you were paying attention,
1:00:06
Speaker 3: there's a chance of greatness with this group of guys,
1:00:10
Speaker 3: and they showed it all the way through the playoffs
1:00:12
Speaker 3: in the regular season.
1:00:13
Speaker 7: Unbelievable year.
1:00:14
Speaker 1: I mean, just a fun team to root for, and yeah,
1:00:19
Speaker 1: I think it. I don't think it's being silly or
1:00:21
Speaker 1: careless or anything else. I mean, this is just evaluating
1:00:25
Speaker 1: what this organization has going for it right now. I
1:00:28
Speaker 1: think they're a year ahead of schedule and they've already
1:00:31
Speaker 1: won a championship and now with the third youngest team
1:00:35
Speaker 1: in the NFL and the fifth most cap space in
1:00:39
Speaker 1: the National Football League, a thirty eight year old head coach,
1:00:43
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's under contract, that has proven himself for
1:00:47
Speaker 1: those that are still doubting, has proven himself as a
1:00:50
Speaker 1: winner and as a champion and executive. Ashley that is
1:00:53
Speaker 1: just absolutely on fire right now. I mean, yeah, a
1:00:57
Speaker 1: lot of things have to happen going forward. You still
1:01:00
Speaker 1: gotta be excellent in every phase of running an organization.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: But if anybody feels set up to have a nice run,
1:01:10
Speaker 1: here in the next few years.
1:01:11
Speaker 7: It's the Seattle Seahawks.
1:01:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
1:01:13
Speaker 9: And we've talked a lot about, you know, what makes
1:01:15
Speaker 9: this team different than the team that won in twenty thirteen,
1:01:18
Speaker 9: and you know, thinking that they could be set up
1:01:20
Speaker 9: for continuing on that run.
1:01:22
Speaker 8: But it's the closeness. And these guys seem.
1:01:25
Speaker 9: So appreciative to be here, yeah, which is so interesting. Yes,
1:01:30
Speaker 9: And they don't seem like they're owed something for you know,
1:01:35
Speaker 9: it's more like, yeah, we're so happy to be here.
1:01:38
Speaker 8: This is so awesome.
1:01:39
Speaker 9: Thank you for bringing us, thank you for putting this
1:01:42
Speaker 9: team together.
1:01:43
Speaker 8: That's the difference.
1:01:44
Speaker 1: It's almost startling, it is to hear it so frequently,
1:01:48
Speaker 1: because I think we've gotten used to a sports world
1:01:50
Speaker 1: where it is you were lucky to have me. Yeah
1:01:54
Speaker 1: and yeah, between Julian Love and Leonard Williams and Sam
1:01:58
Speaker 1: Darnold going out of their frequently this season, just thank
1:02:02
Speaker 1: John Schneider for bringing them to Seattle.
1:02:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with.
1:02:06
Speaker 10: You on that.
1:02:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's and it's awesome.
1:02:08
Speaker 9: And I actually did hear someone today talking about Sam
1:02:10
Speaker 9: Darnold's mental toughness and how impressive it is for him
1:02:14
Speaker 9: to have gotten to where he is now from where
1:02:17
Speaker 9: he started, and how just awesomely focused and mentally tough
1:02:21
Speaker 9: he has.
1:02:21
Speaker 8: To be to accomplish what he has accomplished.
1:02:24
Speaker 1: Thing is it? Yeah, Well, congratulations the Seattle Seahawks World champions.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: What a week it has been, and of course on Wednesday,
1:02:33
Speaker 1: the entire city celebrated it.
1:02:36
Speaker 7: They're estimating over.
1:02:37
Speaker 1: A million people showed up in downtown Seattle. I mean
1:02:41
Speaker 1: just sees, not just the sea, sees on every block
1:02:45
Speaker 1: of Seahawk fans and all of them striking the right tone,
1:02:51
Speaker 1: the right mood.
1:02:52
Speaker 7: For the event.
1:02:54
Speaker 1: And of course that event got started with something that
1:02:57
Speaker 1: will forever be known as the Red Solo Cup speech
1:03:01
Speaker 1: from John Schneider.
1:03:02
Speaker 12: I'm gonna treat this like a like a wedding, you know,
1:03:04
Speaker 12: like a little toast. Here we go, all right, to Mike,
1:03:12
Speaker 12: Mike McDonald came into our lives and uh well he
1:03:16
Speaker 12: pretty much crushed it.
1:03:19
Speaker 5: To Mike mcdonah.
1:03:26
Speaker 12: To the players, this league is all about the players.

1:04:11
Speaker 1: by saying, this is going to sound like a a
1:04:15
Speaker 1: wedding reception speech, and it sort of did. I was
1:04:19

Speaker 1: soaked it all up, and I hope you carry the
1:05:11
Speaker 1: good vibes with you into the off season, because man,
1:05:16
Speaker 1: what a fantastic team, What a fantastic job by this organization,
1:05:21
Speaker 1: And man did the twelve show up? I mean throughout
1:05:24
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's celebration on Wednesday. Man, I don't know
1:05:28
Speaker 1: if they could have put their a better foot forward
1:05:31
Speaker 1: Seahawk fans everywhere than what they did this week.
1:05:34
Speaker 7: So congratulations to all of you.
1:05:36
Speaker 8: It was awesome all around, all around.
1:05:39
Speaker 1: And now the off season is underway and that's exciting too.
1:05:44
Speaker 1: You know, draftness isn't too far away.
1:05:46
Speaker 7: Oh boy, I.
1:05:47
Speaker 8: Think we celebrate.
1:05:49
Speaker 1: Greg Bell was on with us today talking about the
1:05:52
Speaker 1: first decision to make, and that's at the offensive coordinator
1:05:56
Speaker 1: position to replace Clint Kubiak.
1:05:59
Speaker 7: I asked, when's that going to be done.
1:06:01
Speaker 10: They're interviewing internal candidates. McDonald said Monday told us as
1:06:06
Speaker 10: early as Tuesday they were gonna start interviewing internal candidates.
1:06:10
Speaker 10: Just that out, Jactet and Janoko. Those are the three
1:06:14
Speaker 10: on the staff who immediately come to mind as someone
1:06:17
Speaker 10: that could be interested in doing that. Incidentally, Frisman Jackson
1:06:20
Speaker 10: is being interviewed by Kubiak for the offensive coordinator with
1:06:23
Speaker 10: the Raiders, and that tells you if they're going to
1:06:25
Speaker 10: the Seahawks wide receiver coach, who has been here even
1:06:28
Speaker 10: before mcdell got here, then they are keeping their main guys.
1:06:33
Speaker 10: And I've been told that they're keeping their main guys,
1:06:36
Speaker 10: I mean, offensive line coachs, the quarterbacks coach. They the
1:06:40
Speaker 10: offensive line coach, John Betten, as I'd mentioned, is so
1:06:42
Speaker 10: key to what they do, what they did this year
1:06:44
Speaker 10: and what they do going forward. So it doesn't look
1:06:47
Speaker 10: like it's going to be the raid of the Seahawks
1:06:50
Speaker 10: staff by click Kubiak. He wasn't here long enough to
1:06:52
Speaker 10: have that cachet with Michael McDonald. McDonald's not going to
1:06:56
Speaker 10: let him come in here and leave in just one
1:06:57
Speaker 10: year and take all the main key assistance with them
1:07:01
Speaker 10: to the Raiders.
1:07:01
Speaker 1: It appears I get that we have the Ben Johnson
1:07:05
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions story to sort of reference when it comes
1:07:09
Speaker 1: to losing an offensive coordinator, but it's not like the
1:07:13
Speaker 1: Lions just fell apart offensively. They were still I mean,
1:07:16
Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs was amazing, and yet that's an that's a
1:07:21
Speaker 1: recent example that sticks into our brains. Maybe I'm wrong.
1:07:25
Speaker 1: You never know about the chemistry between a coach and
1:07:27
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You don't really know what kind of magical
1:07:30
Speaker 1: sauce that Clint Kubiek delivers to this offense on a
1:07:34
Speaker 1: day to day basis, not just on Sundays, but.
1:07:37
Speaker 7: On a day to day basis.
1:07:39
Speaker 1: But I just I just don't foresee this being a
1:07:43
Speaker 1: major concern. But Hugh Millen is concerned about it, and
1:07:48
Speaker 1: and Hugh Mellan's been in a few locker rooms and
1:07:50
Speaker 1: around a few OC's and a few quarterbacks in the past,
1:07:53
Speaker 1: so this is obviously an item of importance. And yet
1:07:58
Speaker 1: it does look like they're going to promote from within
1:08:00
Speaker 1: to try and replace him.
1:08:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not. It's not nothing, that's for sure. And
1:08:05
Speaker 3: yet it's he is replaceable. I don't think there's anybody
1:08:08
Speaker 3: that isn't replaceable besides Mike McDonald. You know, that was
1:08:12
Speaker 3: a If that's where you're trying to fix, then that's
1:08:14
Speaker 3: a whole different ballgame.
1:08:16
Speaker 7: I think they'll figure it out.
1:08:17
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just kind of another thing where the
1:08:20
Speaker 3: same guy's in charge that brought Clint Kubiak in. He said,
1:08:24
Speaker 3: you know, he just he's only a year removed from
1:08:26
Speaker 3: figuring out how to find somebody that fits into what
1:08:29
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald wants the offense to look like. And so yeah,
1:08:32
Speaker 3: I think they're going to figure it out. But it's
1:08:34
Speaker 3: it's definitely more than it's not nothing.
1:08:36
Speaker 9: It does make me feel better though, that they're looking
1:08:38
Speaker 9: at someone within, someone who was close with Kubiak and
1:08:42
Speaker 9: who would be taking, you know, the similar things, so
1:08:46
Speaker 9: you're not at least bringing in someone who's got a
1:08:47
Speaker 9: totally different offensive philosophy that now you'd have no synergy
1:08:52
Speaker 9: with what you were doing this year.
1:08:53
Speaker 1: And again, you don't know what the little things that
1:08:57
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak did. Maybe that guy, even though he's got
1:09:00
Speaker 1: the same information, doesn't mean that he calls plays as
1:09:03
Speaker 1: well on Sunday, doesn't mean that he communicates with his
1:09:06
Speaker 1: players as well. So yeah, I see the reason for concern.
1:09:10
Speaker 1: Here's why I'm not concerned because Mike McDonald spent one
1:09:14
Speaker 1: week with Ryan Grubb and new that's not right right,
1:09:17
Speaker 1: and then he got the right guy. And I faith
1:09:19
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald will know who the right guy is.
1:09:22
Speaker 8: I agree.
1:09:22
Speaker 7: Now that he's a couple of years into this.
1:09:24
Speaker 1: Free agents for the Seahawks Requel and Kobe Bryant, boy
1:09:26
Speaker 1: A Mafe, Josh Jones, Rashid Shaheed, and of course Super
1:09:30
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP Ken Walker. Free agency starts in less than
1:09:33
Speaker 1: a month. The Hawks will draft last in the first round,
1:09:37
Speaker 1: the best team always does, and they only have four
1:09:40
Speaker 1: picks overall, a first rounder, a second rounder, a third rounder,
1:09:43
Speaker 1: and a sixth rounder. So you know John's gonna work
1:09:45
Speaker 1: his draft day magic to try to accumulate more picks.
1:09:49
Speaker 1: And the NFL Combine is in just ten days. The
1:09:52
Speaker 1: first televised workouts will be in thirteen days. In the meantime,
1:09:58
Speaker 1: we have BA fall to pivot to. Spring training coverage
1:10:03
Speaker 1: begins on Chuck and Buck. Our award winning spring training
1:10:06
Speaker 1: coverage starts Monday morning at six am right here at
1:10:10
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM, And of
1:10:14
Speaker 1: course we can't wait to talk to Josh Naylor for
1:10:17
Speaker 1: the first time during spring training and the newcomers, including
1:10:21
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan, the big trade acquisition from a couple of
1:10:25
Speaker 1: weeks ago over from the Saint Louis Cardinals, and everybody's
1:10:28
Speaker 1: just praising what a good person Brendan Donovan is. Dan
1:10:32
Speaker 1: Wilson on MLB Network last night, was asked by Tom
1:10:37
Speaker 1: Verducci about the new Seattle Mariner.
1:10:43
Speaker 14: He brings a lot of you know, flexibility, a lot
1:10:46
Speaker 14: of versatility to our lineup, and you know, not only
1:10:50
Speaker 14: in the field, but you know, at the plate as well.
1:10:53
Speaker 14: So we are excited to have him and think, you know,
1:10:56
Speaker 14: completes our lineup in a big way. And you know,
1:10:59
Speaker 14: as as games get going here and we figure out
1:11:01
Speaker 14: the lineup and he's going to plug right in. I
1:11:03
Speaker 14: think the type of player that he has such a
1:11:08
Speaker 14: strong desire to win.
1:11:10
Speaker 1: He's he's intense.
1:11:11
Speaker 14: He's a quiet guy, but but you know, he lets
1:11:14
Speaker 14: his bat do the talking.
1:11:15
Speaker 7: And we're excited to have him as a part of
1:11:17
Speaker 7: our club.
1:11:17
Speaker 1: Hey, and maybe you didn't like the off season for
1:11:21
Speaker 1: the Mariners, maybe it fell short again for you, But
1:11:23
Speaker 1: I would just tell you from their perspective, they got
1:11:26
Speaker 1: the two guys they circled. Jose Ferrera was one of
1:11:28
Speaker 1: the guys they circled. Brendan Donovan was one of the
1:11:30
Speaker 1: guys they circled. And one of the reasons they wanted
1:11:33
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan so badly was because of his position of flexibility.
1:11:37
Speaker 1: Because they're really not sure what to expect at spring training.
1:11:40
Speaker 1: They don't know if cold Emerson's ready, they don't know
1:11:42
Speaker 1: if Cole Young just automatically gets the second base job.
1:11:46
Speaker 1: But you bring in at Brendan Donovan and he gives
1:11:49
Speaker 1: you that positional flexibility. You can play him at third,
1:11:52
Speaker 1: you can play him at second, You could even play
1:11:53
Speaker 1: him in the outfield for goodness sake. And his bat,
1:11:57
Speaker 1: I think is going to be in the lineup every day.
1:11:59
Speaker 1: We just don't know right now what position he's going.
1:12:01
Speaker 7: To play this year. Yeah, I think that.
1:12:03
Speaker 3: I mean his bat I think is the big part,
1:12:07
Speaker 3: just because of how consistent he is. I mean he's
1:12:09
Speaker 3: a two to eighty career hitter, two eighty two career here,
1:12:11
Speaker 3: that's like three twenty back in the day. I think
1:12:14
Speaker 3: that they like that mix a little bit more contact
1:12:17
Speaker 3: in with some of the swinging miss that you have.
1:12:20
Speaker 3: He doesn't bring a lot to the table when it
1:12:21
Speaker 3: comes to power and stuff like that. But then the versatility,
1:12:24
Speaker 3: you couple that with versatility defensively, Now you're not relying
1:12:27
Speaker 3: on multiple youngsters kind of coming through and turning into
1:12:32
Speaker 3: solid big leaguers right off the bat. You can say
1:12:34
Speaker 3: all right, one of you needs to step up and
1:12:36
Speaker 3: play either second or third, and Brendan Donovan can take
1:12:39
Speaker 3: the other one.
1:12:40
Speaker 1: Hey, best case scenario is Cole Young and cold Emerson
1:12:42
Speaker 1: are so good you put them both in the lineup.
1:12:44
Speaker 1: Donovan then becomes this super utility player who's in the
1:12:48
Speaker 1: lineup every day, but you can move them around at
1:12:50
Speaker 1: different positions, and I think.
1:12:52
Speaker 7: That might be his best use.
1:12:54
Speaker 1: But he's going to be in the lineup every day
1:12:56
Speaker 1: and right now being projected as the leadoff hitter on
1:12:59
Speaker 1: this team. The offseason moves do seem to be at
1:13:01
Speaker 1: an end for the Mariners. I don't think we're going
1:13:04
Speaker 1: to be talking about any big acquisition during spring training
1:13:07
Speaker 1: coverage this year. So they are set, ready to go.
1:13:11
Speaker 1: We are set and ready to go again. Chuck and
1:13:14
Speaker 1: Buck live from Peoria starting Monday at six a m.
1:13:18
Speaker 1: In the meantime, the NBA they've got I know, we've
1:13:22
Speaker 1: been so focused on football. Maybe it didn't even realize
1:13:25
Speaker 1: that it's NBA All Star weekend time.
1:13:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:13:35
Speaker 1: All Star Game is a Sunday two pm tip. It
1:13:38
Speaker 1: will not feature Lebron James for the first time in
1:13:41
Speaker 1: twenty two years.
1:13:42
Speaker 7: That is just phenomenal.
1:13:44
Speaker 1: The Slam Dunk Contest really is not going to feature
1:13:47
Speaker 1: any household names, that's for sure. May feature zero players
1:13:51
Speaker 1: you've even heard of period. Jackson, Hayes, Jace Richardson, Kashaw Johnson,
1:13:56
Speaker 1: and Carter Bryant.
1:13:58
Speaker 8: Check that box.
1:13:59
Speaker 1: I have not heard at least a CBA player won't
1:14:02
Speaker 1: win for a fourth year in a row. Mack mcclun
1:14:05
Speaker 1: will not defend his title this year. The throne has
1:14:08
Speaker 1: been vacated, and Adam Silver will undoubtedly speak and perhaps
1:14:12
Speaker 1: provide updates on how the league plans to contend with
1:14:15
Speaker 1: the growing tanking issue that the league is facing right now,
1:14:19
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll learn more about his expansion plan because
1:14:23
Speaker 1: that does directly affect us right here in Seattle. Speaking
1:14:27
Speaker 1: of hoops college basketball this weekend, you doub be in
1:14:30
Speaker 1: action against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Hey you the league?
1:14:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, pretty good.
1:14:36
Speaker 1: He's watching here Govers Govers tip Gophers at six o'clock
1:14:40
Speaker 1: from heck ed Husky's coming off a bad loss to
1:14:44
Speaker 1: Penn State. Danny Sprinkle needs will win. They're twelve and
1:14:47
Speaker 1: thirteen now on the year, four and ten in conference play.
1:14:51
Speaker 1: The Gophers have lost eight of their last nine and
1:14:54
Speaker 1: are four and nine in Big Ten play. So that's
1:14:57
Speaker 1: tomorrow at six o'clock, and of course you can hear
1:14:59
Speaker 1: it right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three
1:15:02
Speaker 1: kh A r FM. Haven't had any crack in hockey
1:15:05
Speaker 1: in a while. There is a reason the Olympics put
1:15:08
Speaker 1: a pause on the NHL season this year. But we
1:15:12
Speaker 1: did have hockey finally to watch yesterday as the team
1:15:15
Speaker 1: USA took the ice for the very first time and
1:15:19
Speaker 1: unleashed its goal song five times last night. Figured you
1:15:23
Speaker 1: had to like be at all times.
1:15:27
Speaker 7: Intial.
1:15:28
Speaker 9: Yeah, well yeah, but if they play them for both teams,
1:15:31
Speaker 9: then you're still being impartial, right, It's just that the
1:15:33
Speaker 9: other team has to score more to hear their song more.
1:15:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, try try harder next time, Latvia.
1:15:39
Speaker 8: If you want to hear your song, you got to
1:15:40
Speaker 8: score more.
1:15:40
Speaker 7: Than what the last you have a Leonard Skinner do either?
1:15:43
Speaker 10: Uh?
1:15:45
Speaker 8: Latvin skin Vin it's a cover band.
1:15:49
Speaker 1: They're huge in Latvia, Yeah they are anyway. Finally we
1:15:52
Speaker 1: got revenge against Latvia five to one, the final score
1:15:56
Speaker 1: these years.
1:15:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, last night.
1:15:58
Speaker 1: The team will play against Sunday night against Denmark, So
1:16:01
Speaker 1: let's take out the Danes. They've been rubbing me the
1:16:04
Speaker 1: wrong way for centuries. Finally it is Friday the thirteenth.
1:16:10
Speaker 1: Switch aroough right there. Could you time it out where
1:16:14
Speaker 1: you could watch Friday the thirteenth? Time it out so
1:16:16
Speaker 1: it ends at midnight and then you start Blue Crush
1:16:19
Speaker 1: or your favorite rom com at midnight. Could you time
1:16:23
Speaker 1: it out tonight?
1:16:24
Speaker 10: Yeah?
1:16:24
Speaker 8: I could if I was awake that late. But yeah,
1:16:26
Speaker 8: I could, but I didn't have to watch whatever this
1:16:29
Speaker 8: movie is.
1:16:29
Speaker 3: What is it?
1:16:30
Speaker 6: Oh?
1:16:30
Speaker 8: Yeah, Friday the thirteenth. No, I can't.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: So you've never stayed up till midnight to bring in
1:16:34
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day?
1:16:35
Speaker 7: Is that what you're jolling?
1:16:37
Speaker 8: No?
1:16:37
Speaker 9: No, no, It's not high on my list, but I
1:16:40
Speaker 9: am looking forward to our annual steak dinner tomorrow.
1:16:43
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, well, coming up next, Speaking of Valentine's Day,
1:16:48
Speaker 1: I was at Walgreens yesterday. I couldn't believe what I saw. Already,
1:16:53
Speaker 1: hot off the presses Seahawks Valentine's Day Cards, Sports Radio
1:16:58
Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFN throughout the world, throughout the globe,
1:17:02
Speaker 1: and uh we uh here at Chukumbuck in the morning.
1:17:05
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kh A r FM
1:17:08
Speaker 1: didn't want you to forget about it. As a matter
1:17:10
Speaker 1: of fact, I was caught off guard yesterday. I'm just
1:17:13
Speaker 1: doing my normal daily routine, you know, honeydo list, go
1:17:17
Speaker 1: pick up some things at the store, and lo and behold.
1:17:21
Speaker 1: I go to my local Walgreens and man if I
1:17:24
Speaker 1: didn't go fast and I'm just minding my own business,
1:17:27
Speaker 1: right mine, in your own And there I saw in
1:17:31
Speaker 1: the cards section they have already out for print Seahawks
1:17:37
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Valentine's Day cards.
1:17:40
Speaker 7: No, I did not.
1:17:41
Speaker 1: Isn't that awesome that they're already out, so, you know,
1:17:45
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they didn't get them out in
1:17:46
Speaker 1: time for the kids, or maybe they're exchanging right now
1:17:49
Speaker 1: at school.
1:17:50
Speaker 7: Maybe they're Seahawks.
1:17:52
Speaker 1: Valentine's Help the cards. They are in my world, in
1:17:55
Speaker 1: my heart, that's what they're doing.
1:17:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, my kids didn't get Seahawks ones today. Is there
1:18:00
Speaker 3: actually Graci's was yesterday?
1:18:02
Speaker 1: Did they still do the thing where you make your mailbox,
1:18:04
Speaker 1: you create your mailbox and then you trade the cards.
1:18:07
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:18:07
Speaker 3: I think it's more of an envelope. It was a
1:18:09
Speaker 3: bag for graces. I think Bears is like a big
1:18:11
Speaker 3: heart envelope thing. That people drop the ear of Valentine's in,
1:18:16
Speaker 3: but they're very boogie nowadays, Like I mean bears, I
1:18:19
Speaker 3: mean pretty creative. Kate Kate's giving the there's like it's
1:18:23
Speaker 3: a Barry something. All the Valentine say something about bear
1:18:27
Speaker 3: and then it's a little stuffed animal bear that they
1:18:29
Speaker 3: all get to. I'm like, I just remember getting one
1:18:32
Speaker 3: candy heart that said will you be minor?
1:18:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what I mean.
1:18:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one little little chalk flavored candy heart, chalky
1:18:39
Speaker 1: heart candy, Yeah, with the little messages on there. And
1:18:43
Speaker 1: then you would always you would always try to like
1:18:46
Speaker 1: match the card sentiment from Spider Man with the girl
1:18:50
Speaker 1: that you liked the most. Oh yeah yeah. And then
1:18:54
Speaker 1: you didn't want Superman to give the other girl in
1:18:57
Speaker 1: the class the wrong idea, so you had to really
1:18:59
Speaker 1: get like the newtered you know, just be mine Valentine, Valentine. Yeah,
1:19:07
Speaker 1: those all went to the guys.
1:19:09
Speaker 3: I was throwing all the love out to the ladies,
1:19:11
Speaker 3: all of them.
1:19:12
Speaker 1: Well then you know what I mean when I say
1:19:15
Speaker 1: I came across Seahawks Valentine's Day trading and so I'm
1:19:19
Speaker 1: surprised they're out. It's all the Seahawk players on the roster,
1:19:24
Speaker 1: and I just thought I would read.
1:19:25
Speaker 7: A few of them.
1:19:26
Speaker 1: That's nice. I love it. Yeah, I couldn't believe that
1:19:29
Speaker 1: they're already out like this. What a celebration makes sense
1:19:33
Speaker 1: that Julian Love would have one. But you're saying they
1:19:35
Speaker 1: all have it, they all they all have them as
1:19:38
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. So let's uh, let's just just
1:19:41
Speaker 1: a couple of examples for you. You got my Heart
1:19:44
Speaker 1: on Drew Locke Valentine. Yeah, right like that.
1:19:48
Speaker 8: Yeah, the name play on words.
1:19:52
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:19:52
Speaker 1: And then there's a picture of Drew and he's holding
1:19:54
Speaker 1: the football in one hand and a candy heart in
1:19:57
Speaker 1: the other.
1:19:57
Speaker 7: Yeah. It's just really well done.
1:19:59
Speaker 1: He's really door uh huh, yeah, it really does. Charles
1:20:02
Speaker 1: crossed my heart and hope to die if you won't
1:20:05
Speaker 1: be my Valentine.
1:20:07
Speaker 7: Charles crossed my.
1:20:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as Charles there, you know, uh looking rich.
1:20:15
Speaker 8: Yeah, he does.
1:20:16
Speaker 7: New contract and making the cross his chest.
1:20:20
Speaker 8: Over his head.
1:20:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. Yeah, that's that's what I picked.
1:20:24
Speaker 7: Green Ones.
1:20:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bill Shark Truson, I love it.
1:20:27
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:20:27
Speaker 1: Uh and then another one, don't be scared, Nate call
1:20:31
Speaker 1: her up. Valentine. Everybody on the roster.
1:20:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, okay, good for him.
1:20:41
Speaker 1: And it's it's Nate like looking all nervous with the
1:20:44
Speaker 1: phone in his hand, scared Nate.
1:20:46
Speaker 8: Car It's like the bubble, Yeah, the bubbles.
1:20:50
Speaker 7: Yeah answer.
1:20:53
Speaker 1: And then there are certainly some other ones and they
1:20:56
Speaker 1: kind of put them into categories, which I think is
1:20:59
Speaker 1: is great because you never know, like you're giving away
1:21:02
Speaker 1: Valentine's cards, you could be on different levels where your
1:21:05
Speaker 1: relationship is at.
1:21:07
Speaker 7: And so for.
1:21:08
Speaker 1: Example, for young people or those just starting to date,
1:21:14
Speaker 1: there's number twenty one on a Valentine's Day card and
1:21:16
Speaker 1: it just says, let's Devin witherspoon Valentine. Oh that sounds cozy, yeah, spooning.
1:21:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, I remember that from relationships.
1:21:26
Speaker 9: Yeah, when you wanted to be next to the person
1:21:28
Speaker 9: and then you were like this is really warm.
1:21:30
Speaker 7: When you didn't care about sweating and my arm is
1:21:33
Speaker 7: going to sleep.
1:21:34
Speaker 1: I feel my arm. This isn't comfortable. Well, you know really,
1:21:39
Speaker 1: in terms of the affection examples of affection shown, spooning
1:21:45
Speaker 1: is awesome. Yeah, I mean think about that being with
1:21:47
Speaker 1: the person that you you know, theoretically love and are
1:21:50
Speaker 1: attracted to. Cola close, but it is really difficult especially
1:21:54
Speaker 1: for the guy because I always thought about carving a
1:21:56
Speaker 1: hole in the bed so that my arm could go
1:21:59
Speaker 1: through it, so at least it wouldn't go numb and
1:22:03
Speaker 1: pillows for that. All right, Uh so, all right, for
1:22:06
Speaker 1: the next level, we've got our veteran safety on a card.
1:22:10
Speaker 1: For those that have been together for years. Let's make
1:22:13
Speaker 1: sweet sweet Julian love, Valentine. That one's a little creepy.
1:22:19
Speaker 7: Is that one creepy?
1:22:20
Speaker 9: Let's make sweet sweet Julian love?
1:22:24
Speaker 10: Right?
1:22:25
Speaker 1: Yeah? Him intercepting the past. I don't know if I
1:22:30
Speaker 1: want Julian intercept.
1:22:32
Speaker 7: Anything that comes down to that.
1:22:34
Speaker 1: Well, I like it.
1:22:35
Speaker 7: What are you gonna do? I don't want to leave
1:22:37
Speaker 7: on the table. I didn't get sent to anybody.
1:22:39
Speaker 1: Uh. There's one with our punter on it. And this
1:22:44
Speaker 1: is I think for the Valentines who have been married
1:22:47
Speaker 1: for years. And it's getting a little bit of a
1:22:49
Speaker 1: routine now. It just says, are you sure you're Michael Dixon?
1:23:00
Speaker 1: And it's a picture of Michael Dixon. Are you sure
1:23:03
Speaker 1: you're Michael Dixon? Sure I am, yeah, And then the
1:23:07
Speaker 1: little thought ball boy he's like, yeah, I'm sure, yeah, yeah,
1:23:10
Speaker 1: Michael questions yeah, but yes, Are you sure you're Michael Dixon?
1:23:16
Speaker 1: That might be my favorite? Oh is that right? What
1:23:18
Speaker 1: about this one?
1:23:19
Speaker 7: Uh?
1:23:20
Speaker 1: Oh you call that a hand job, Valentine. Those are
1:23:31
Speaker 1: breakup Vale right there? Those are breakup interesting one. I
1:23:38
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I really know how to interpret that.
1:23:40
Speaker 7: But he's a hand defender.
1:23:42
Speaker 1: I suppose you know. Wow, I almost passed out.
1:23:46
Speaker 8: I left too hard.
1:23:47
Speaker 1: Or for the geriatric couple, let's try one more time,
1:23:53
Speaker 1: because we're not getting any direak younger Valentine. And along
1:24:02
Speaker 1: those lines, I can always take a Blue Brandon Peely Valentine.
1:24:12
Speaker 9: I'm sure they's sold out right away. So that's a
1:24:14
Speaker 9: good thing you got your hands on them.
1:24:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, Or I mean even Valentine, even people who aren't
1:24:18
Speaker 1: in love and are still in relationships, they got to
1:24:21
Speaker 1: give Valentine a card. And so uh this is for
1:24:24
Speaker 1: those who are just done with it all. Get your
1:24:26
Speaker 1: hands off my connor. O'tool, Valentine. Oh you know, I'm
1:24:37
Speaker 1: trying to see some of your strokes e g rated.
1:24:40
Speaker 1: I guess I'm a little surprised by that. Yeah, right
1:24:44
Speaker 1: next to the snoopy Valentine's Day cards?
1:24:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, what have you?
1:24:47
Speaker 9: I like that because they all have their own Valentine
1:24:49
Speaker 9: It means you can buy one box and that covers everyone.
1:24:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, they full gamut.
1:24:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just kind of divided it up into hand
1:24:58
Speaker 1: hand jokes to yah. Yep, that's good. You got them all.
1:25:02
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, so and.
1:25:03
Speaker 9: You found a way to work in the punter, I
1:25:05
Speaker 9: mean for your Valentine's which is.
1:25:07
Speaker 7: Good for you.
1:25:08
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:25:08
Speaker 8: Good, good work Seahawks.
1:25:09
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, we talked about that the kicking game
1:25:12
Speaker 9: didn't get enough credit in the Super Bowl. So I'm
1:25:15
Speaker 9: really I'm really glad that he's got a prominent card.
1:25:18
Speaker 7: He really does. It's one of the most popular.
1:25:20
Speaker 1: I can imagine. Yeah. So anyway, that's just a few
1:25:23
Speaker 1: of them. I can't go through the mall, but just
1:25:25
Speaker 1: a few of the extra just sent and I want
1:25:27
Speaker 1: to grow Sam darn Old with you.
1:25:29
Speaker 8: Oh.
1:25:33
Speaker 9: Also, someone else said, I just spit my water everywhere.
1:25:39
Speaker 9: It's probably on the hand job or Michael Dixon's.
1:25:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Michael Dixon one really was from the heart.
1:25:48
Speaker 7: All right.
1:25:48
Speaker 1: Anyway, We've got We're Bought played b Bucket today at
1:25:53
Speaker 1: the nine o'clock today, but coming up next on the
1:25:55
Speaker 1: radio show, there's a saga in college football that may
1:26:00
Speaker 1: or may not have come to an end yesterday, and
1:26:02
Speaker 1: I think it's worth talking about before we hit Saturday.
1:26:04
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M.
1:26:07
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:26:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, Saturday, Bucky and I will be in Arizona. We're
1:26:15
Speaker 1: traveling down on Saturday. We actually get to watch practice
1:26:18
Speaker 1: on Sunday, which for me, I don't get to do
1:26:21
Speaker 1: well either one of us get to do a lot
1:26:22
Speaker 1: during the course of the week.
1:26:23
Speaker 7: I mean, we could see a.
1:26:24
Speaker 1: Little bit here and there, but we're gonna I talked
1:26:27
Speaker 1: to Rich Moore into sending us down a day early
1:26:30
Speaker 1: so that we can actually like soak in practice and
1:26:33
Speaker 1: get some stuff going on Sunday.
1:26:35
Speaker 7: Excited about that.
1:26:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there's there's a lot of stuff going on
1:26:39
Speaker 1: down there and all.
1:26:40
Speaker 7: Yeah. The main thing.
1:26:41
Speaker 3: I'm going to be focused on is the Mariners and
1:26:44
Speaker 3: how they look, just how they look in their pants.
1:26:48
Speaker 1: Just how they look in their pants.
1:26:49
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:26:49
Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, it's all about that's what spring training is.
1:26:52
Speaker 1: Are romo Ashley, that's promo early. Yeah, that's not promo.
1:26:57
Speaker 7: People in their pants.
1:26:58
Speaker 3: It's all about how they look, you know, if they
1:27:02
Speaker 3: they're in the best shape of their lives.
1:27:04
Speaker 1: It's all the matter.
1:27:04
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it doesn't matter about the off season other
1:27:07
Speaker 3: than if they got in good ship.
1:27:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, well assume we're gonna have the lovely weather and
1:27:12
Speaker 1: everything else.
1:27:12
Speaker 7: So that's where we're getting ready to do.
1:27:14
Speaker 10: Uh.
1:27:15
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be focused on as the Mariners and how
1:27:18
Speaker 3: they look, just how they look in their pants.
1:27:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.
1:27:22
Speaker 7: Promo.
1:27:23
Speaker 1: People don't make that a promo. But you know what,
1:27:28
Speaker 1: maybe you're like, well, that sounds amazing. But I got
1:27:32
Speaker 1: to kill the time until I can listen to Chuck
1:27:34
Speaker 1: and Buck on Mondays. So I'm gonna go to Lala
1:27:37
Speaker 1: Bizork Casino tonight, skill some time, maybe get a room,
1:27:41
Speaker 1: kill three days so that Friday goes immediately to Monday.
1:27:45
Speaker 10: Uh.
1:27:45
Speaker 3: And right now probably is the best time to get
1:27:47
Speaker 3: in there and put some duckets down on them winning
1:27:49
Speaker 3: the World Series. You know, I told you my buddy
1:27:51
Speaker 3: made one a year before. The Seahawks just did and
1:27:55
Speaker 3: he made sixty five hundred bucks. So I think you
1:27:58
Speaker 3: probably go down there and get some decent odds there.
1:28:00
Speaker 3: They're a highly touted team coming into the season. You're
1:28:03
Speaker 3: still going to be able to get some good money.
1:28:04
Speaker 1: You know, now that you bring that up. I went
1:28:06
Speaker 1: into my sushi guy yesterday, Perry.
1:28:08
Speaker 7: We all know Perry.
1:28:10
Speaker 1: And he goes, your lunch is on me today. Wow,
1:28:15
Speaker 1: And I what whoa whoa? And he said, because you
1:28:20
Speaker 1: told me in training camp I wasn't so sure about
1:28:23
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and you told me when you came in here,
1:28:25
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a lot better than they think. Oh,
1:28:28
Speaker 1: and he goes, so I put thirty dollars on it.
1:28:30
Speaker 1: That's sixty to one to win it all. Wow, how
1:28:33
Speaker 1: about that? Look at that nice Yeah, so stuff like
1:28:37
Speaker 1: that magic can happen. So get to tu Leila p
1:28:39
Speaker 1: Resort Casino. We'll see the Creek Casino, Kiosk twenty four
1:28:42
Speaker 1: hours a day, are open. Draftking Sports Book over there,
1:28:45
Speaker 1: take in a concert, spend the night before you know.
1:28:48
Speaker 1: It will be Monday, and you'll be listening to us
1:28:50
Speaker 1: with our spring training baseball coverage. Let's provide our spring
1:28:52
Speaker 1: training preview because these are the questions that tend to
1:28:56
Speaker 1: get asked over and over and over again. It's kind
1:29:00
Speaker 1: of our jobs, Frankly, Bucky and myself to relay back
1:29:03
Speaker 1: to you what the answers are to this little quiz.
1:29:08
Speaker 1: And let's start with the camp battle that could take place.
1:29:15
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and start this one and I'll say
1:29:18
Speaker 1: I think that the camp battle is actually between Cole
1:29:22
Speaker 1: Young and cold Emerson. To me, they are going to
1:29:26
Speaker 1: decide one everyday player on the opening day lineup last
1:29:30
Speaker 1: year's rookie who this time a year ago, Cole Young
1:29:36
Speaker 1: was the guy that said, Hey, if you can take
1:29:38
Speaker 1: the job in spring, take the job in spring.
1:29:40
Speaker 7: And he didn't end up doing it.
1:29:41
Speaker 1: He didn't break camp as the starting second baseman. That
1:29:44
Speaker 1: was Ryan Bliss, but it didn't take very long end
1:29:46
Speaker 1: of the year where Cole Young was up playing second
1:29:49
Speaker 1: base for this baseball team. Well, I think the same
1:29:52
Speaker 1: sort of marching orders have been given to cold Emerson.
1:29:55
Speaker 1: Look might be a little bit of a long shot
1:29:57
Speaker 1: that you're going to be our opening day an opening
1:30:01
Speaker 1: day starter for us at age twenty, but we're not
1:30:04
Speaker 1: going to put any restrictions on you if you come
1:30:07
Speaker 1: to spring training and you show us that you are
1:30:10
Speaker 1: one of our best nine players positionally in this organization,
1:30:15
Speaker 1: we are not going to prohibit the thought of you
1:30:18
Speaker 1: being an everyday player from day number one of this
1:30:22
Speaker 1: Major League baseball season. So I think it really is
1:30:25
Speaker 1: going to be whoever play outplays the other between Cole
1:30:28
Speaker 1: Young and cold Emerson, and then Brendan Donovan because of
1:30:31
Speaker 1: this positional flexibility, is going to have that opportunity to
1:30:35
Speaker 1: play the other position that the other guy doesn't already
1:30:37
Speaker 1: lock down. Uh yeah, I'm with you.
1:30:40
Speaker 3: I would probably throw I would throw Ryan Blisten there. Now,
1:30:43
Speaker 3: obviously it's not the same as far as if if
1:30:46
Speaker 3: Colt Emerson were to stud out and so he's going
1:30:49
Speaker 3: to play third, then Brendan Donovan's playing second. But if
1:30:52
Speaker 3: it was the if there was a possibility where Colt
1:30:55
Speaker 3: Emerson looks like he maybe needs a little bit more
1:30:57
Speaker 3: time in triple A first, and so that's where you know,
1:31:01
Speaker 3: Brendan Donovan would be slotted in to be able to
1:31:03
Speaker 3: play third base for you if Ryan Bliss comes back
1:31:06
Speaker 3: from the injury he had, because he won that job
1:31:08
Speaker 3: last year out of spring training, and I think that
1:31:11
Speaker 3: they like what he brings to the table. He wasn't
1:31:14
Speaker 3: off to a great start last year before he got hurt,
1:31:16
Speaker 3: but it was still early. It was only you know,
1:31:17
Speaker 3: I don't even think it was ten games, so it
1:31:19
Speaker 3: was it was pretty early into it. But so I'd
1:31:21
Speaker 3: throw him into that mix as well. I don't think
1:31:23
Speaker 3: it's just the young guys, but I do think that
1:31:26
Speaker 3: that's kind of the proverbial. The way in which it
1:31:28
Speaker 3: could possibly work out would be one of those two
1:31:30
Speaker 3: guys showing out in spring training and then Brendan Donovan
1:31:33
Speaker 3: taken the other, or if both of them show out,
1:31:36
Speaker 3: like you said earlier, and then you use Brendan Donovan
1:31:38
Speaker 3: as that super utility guy.
1:31:39
Speaker 1: All right, so do you have your own camp battle
1:31:43
Speaker 1: or is that it? The Ryan Blesse I added to
1:31:45
Speaker 1: that equation.
1:31:45
Speaker 3: I think I think Dom I think who's going to
1:31:48
Speaker 3: be that d H spot. I think Dom Canzona is
1:31:51
Speaker 3: who I would kind of slot in there right now.
1:31:52
Speaker 3: But I also think Victor Robis needs to be the
1:31:56
Speaker 3: Victor Roeblis that he was when we first got him,
1:31:59
Speaker 3: not last season and before he got hurt, but the
1:32:01
Speaker 3: season before, for that half a season.
1:32:03
Speaker 1: If he's that.
1:32:03
Speaker 3: Guy, you're gonna lock him down in your your outfields
1:32:06
Speaker 3: kind of set.
1:32:07
Speaker 7: I think.
1:32:07
Speaker 3: Otherwise, I think Dom Canzone is gonna he has an
1:32:10
Speaker 3: opportunity to jump up and maybe take some more AB's
1:32:12
Speaker 3: at right field versus just playing platoon in at DHL.
1:32:15
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think Victor Roblaze can ever be what
1:32:18
Speaker 1: he was that first year. I mean, that was such
1:32:20
Speaker 1: an outlier in his career. I mean, I mean, he
1:32:22
Speaker 1: was sensational that season. But the hope is that he's
1:32:27
Speaker 1: better than he was before he put on a Mariner
1:32:30
Speaker 1: uniform and better than he was last year, which really
1:32:33
Speaker 1: does have to put an asterisk by that. If he
1:32:37
Speaker 1: can be just somewhere in between. I think if Victor
1:32:40
Speaker 1: Roblaze shows out and spring training and can just lock
1:32:44
Speaker 1: up an everyday position, man, that means he's just really
1:32:47
Speaker 1: played well in the spring And I think that's best
1:32:50
Speaker 1: case scenario, and then you figure out the rest of
1:32:53
Speaker 1: your outfield slash DH alignment around that. But I think,
1:32:59
Speaker 1: you know, I think we do have to temper our
1:33:00
Speaker 1: expectations from the standpoint of there were such high, lofty,
1:33:05
Speaker 1: you know, belief in Victor Roblaze, but man, that season
1:33:10
Speaker 1: was such an outlier to the rest of his career.
1:33:14
Speaker 1: He just has to be somewhere near there, you know,
1:33:18
Speaker 1: just good. I don't need to be him to be great.
1:33:21
Speaker 1: But if he's just good this year, man, that would
1:33:25
Speaker 1: that would solve a problem for the MS for this
1:33:28
Speaker 1: upcoming season. But he just had that season taken away
1:33:31
Speaker 1: from him, we don't even know.
1:33:32
Speaker 7: Maybe he would have come.
1:33:34
Speaker 1: Back the same player the following year, but you suffer
1:33:37
Speaker 1: that injury, and there's really no way to judge Victor
1:33:40
Speaker 1: Roblaze on what he did in twenty twenty six or
1:33:43
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
1:33:43
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I would, I would tend to lead
1:33:46
Speaker 3: more towards he just didn't handle the prospect, the hype
1:33:51
Speaker 3: that came with being a big prospect with the Nationals.
1:33:53
Speaker 3: His last year with the Nationals wasn't a bad year. Now,
1:33:55
Speaker 3: he was hurt again and then when the Mariners went
1:33:58
Speaker 3: out and got him and he played is better than
1:34:00
Speaker 3: he ever had. But I mean it's his last season.
1:34:03
Speaker 3: It was forty games or whatever. He was hit almost
1:34:05
Speaker 3: three hundred that last year with the Nationals. So I'm
1:34:07
Speaker 3: hoping that he figured something out over the struggles that
1:34:10
Speaker 3: he had with the Washington Nationals and that he is
1:34:12
Speaker 3: closer to what we saw in twenty twenty four than
1:34:15
Speaker 3: what he was previously.
1:34:17
Speaker 1: Is just a prospect for sure. All Right, So talk
1:34:20
Speaker 1: of camp, who do you anticipate being the talk of
1:34:23
Speaker 1: camp this year?
1:34:26
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully it's Cold Emerson, because I think he's closest one.
1:34:29
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if it's Kate Anderson, just because of,
1:34:32
Speaker 3: you know, the newness of it. I've already read some
1:34:35
Speaker 3: reports on the fact that apparently he's crazy competitive and
1:34:38
Speaker 3: he's going out there and trying to prove that he's
1:34:41
Speaker 3: ready for the show.
1:34:42
Speaker 1: Right now, I would think it's probab making.
1:34:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, not unless.
1:34:48
Speaker 1: There's injuries somewhere along the way.
1:34:50
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you. You got a little you got
1:34:53
Speaker 3: you gotta do something in pro ball. I mean, you
1:34:54
Speaker 3: gotta do something. I don't know for sure if you're
1:34:56
Speaker 3: ready to just start out in the show. But cold
1:34:59
Speaker 3: Emerson and is kind of the guy that I think
1:35:01
Speaker 3: is going to be the talk of camp if he
1:35:03
Speaker 3: comes in and continues to perform basically the way he
1:35:05
Speaker 3: has every step of the way in his short little
1:35:08
Speaker 3: minor leagu journey that he's had so far.
1:35:10
Speaker 1: I'm with you on both of those. Those were probably
1:35:12
Speaker 1: be one two Cold Emerson first, Kate Anderson. And I
1:35:16
Speaker 1: just want to say this about Kate Anderson. I mean,
1:35:19
Speaker 1: there's this isn't me evaluating him. This is the people
1:35:22
Speaker 1: that I read and he listen to and trust. I
1:35:26
Speaker 1: mean He's about as polished a college coming into the
1:35:29
Speaker 1: major's prospect as you're going to get. I mean, he's
1:35:32
Speaker 1: not Paul Skeins, he's not Steven Strasburg.
1:35:34
Speaker 7: He's not that guy.
1:35:36
Speaker 1: But in terms of being major league ready, that was
1:35:39
Speaker 1: the label put on Kate Anderson, like he's going to
1:35:42
Speaker 1: be ready to pitch in the majors soon. But when
1:35:46
Speaker 1: you are in the Mariners organization and you got those
1:35:50
Speaker 1: five guys standing in front of you, it would it's
1:35:52
Speaker 1: going to take an injury at some point this year.
1:35:54
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm excited about him. I'm gonna throw in
1:35:56
Speaker 1: just to be different. Just another name out there, Johnny Famello,
1:36:01
Speaker 1: who is cold Emerson's best buddy. And remember when Colet
1:36:05
Speaker 1: told us when we interviewed him last year, it was like,
1:36:08
Speaker 1: we asked him what other prospect out here should we
1:36:10
Speaker 1: be keeping an eye on, and he said, Johnny Famello,
1:36:13
Speaker 1: he's a freak. And I just read an article MLB
1:36:17
Speaker 1: Network put together it's one prospect to watch in every
1:36:21
Speaker 1: camp and it was Johnny Famello with the Mariners. And
1:36:25
Speaker 1: so that might be somebody that ends up creating a
1:36:28
Speaker 1: little bit of a buzz this year. Down in Peoria
1:36:32
Speaker 1: physique check. We always do that. Bucky's already referenced it
1:36:36
Speaker 1: were spring training is about who gained weight, who lost weight,
1:36:39
Speaker 1: who got in the weight room. I mean dom Canzone
1:36:42
Speaker 1: ran away with that ward a couple of years ago.
1:36:45
Speaker 1: So I'll ask it this way. Who are you hoping
1:36:50
Speaker 1: had a really good off season fitness wise?
1:37:00
Speaker 3: Lazarro Montes, Oh, because I mean he's a big dude,
1:37:05
Speaker 3: and yet when I see him, I'm like, I can
1:37:07
Speaker 3: see how that could it could turn into not the
1:37:11
Speaker 3: best looking big dude, And so I'm hoping that it is.
1:37:15
Speaker 3: Because he's the type of guy that he's gonna He's
1:37:18
Speaker 3: maybe not as high up on people or as as
1:37:20
Speaker 3: big league ready as people are thinking Colt Emerson might be.
1:37:23
Speaker 3: And obviously where Cole Young wound up being last year.
1:37:25
Speaker 3: But I think this year he comes in in shape
1:37:28
Speaker 3: and has a really big season, he could be that
1:37:31
Speaker 3: guy that is slotted in the DH old second half
1:37:34
Speaker 3: of the season and through the playoffs.
1:37:35
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. But he got to be in shape.
1:37:37
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:37:38
Speaker 1: I always attach it to the lovable Andres Munos.
1:37:44
Speaker 7: I mean, he's been so good. Maybe you don't.
1:37:46
Speaker 1: Change your routine, but I am really curious if he
1:37:49
Speaker 1: actually came in like and looked fit. Yeah, how good
1:37:56
Speaker 1: he could be because he's kind of got for a
1:37:58
Speaker 1: young man, kind of a little sloppy body, and I'd
1:38:02
Speaker 1: like to see him like be not as sloppy, and
1:38:05
Speaker 1: maybe he's even better. I don't know, or do you
1:38:08
Speaker 1: mess with his routine at all? Considering how grad he's been, Yeah,
1:38:12
Speaker 1: I mean, I doubt.
1:38:12
Speaker 7: That he's going to do anything different.
1:38:14
Speaker 3: Right, taking his cat for a walk is probably about
1:38:16
Speaker 3: the extentity Mom's food.
1:38:18
Speaker 7: He gets, yeah, and he gets he works out.
1:38:20
Speaker 3: Obviously, he ended up throwing a lot of innings last
1:38:23
Speaker 3: year and it was a workhorse for us. And so
1:38:25
Speaker 3: if you figured out the balance, if he's figured out
1:38:27
Speaker 3: how this is where I'm strong enough to go through
1:38:29
Speaker 3: a full season being called upon sixty seventy times against
1:38:34
Speaker 3: tough you know, parts of the lineup. I'm fine with
1:38:37
Speaker 3: him steak, coming in a little frumpy, that's fine. Just
1:38:41
Speaker 3: do what you need to do. Make sure that you
1:38:43
Speaker 3: don't come in less than though.
1:38:44
Speaker 1: All right, last one interview you're most looking forward to
1:38:48
Speaker 1: Part two. We've already discussed this earlier in the week.
1:38:52
Speaker 1: You went with cal Rawley Ashley and I both went
1:38:55
Speaker 1: with Josh Naylor, so we need somebody different off your board,
1:38:58
Speaker 1: Part two interview You're most.
1:39:00
Speaker 7: Looking forward to at our spring training cover?
1:39:03
Speaker 3: Well, can I just say I'm I'm happy I don't
1:39:05
Speaker 3: have to interview Mitch Garver.
1:39:08
Speaker 7: That's cool, happy about that.
1:39:11
Speaker 1: He's still.
1:39:13
Speaker 3: Pretty happy about that. I would say Logan, Logan, Gilbert,
1:39:18
Speaker 3: probably Walter. He's always fun, he has fun.
1:39:21
Speaker 1: He's one of the He's one that that basically kind.
1:39:24
Speaker 1: I believe you're looking forward to Picture's Day that much.
1:39:26
Speaker 1: I'm not any day that you turn into the Picture's Day.
1:39:29
Speaker 1: I mean, I said Cal, I said Cal the first time,
1:39:33
Speaker 1: and it would be Naylor would be my next one.
1:39:35
Speaker 3: But you guys had said Naylor. So we'll take that
1:39:37
Speaker 3: off the plate because I'm right there with you. I'm
1:39:38
Speaker 3: excited about getting to know him.
1:39:40
Speaker 1: Uh but no, it's.
1:39:41
Speaker 3: Probably Logan, just just the whole idea of getting to
1:39:45
Speaker 3: hear that goofy pitcher and how pumped he is about
1:39:48
Speaker 3: this season coming off of last season, and and what
1:39:51
Speaker 3: he's expecting out of the squad because he's he's definitely
1:39:53
Speaker 3: one of the leaders out there.
1:39:54
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna go with Jerry Depoto. MM,
1:39:58
Speaker 1: because look, I mean, you want to talk about somebody
1:40:02
Speaker 1: that just has been beaten up. And he actually had
1:40:05
Speaker 1: an off season where people were praising him this offseason.
1:40:09
Speaker 1: You remember that interview he did it with him last year.
1:40:11
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of tension. I mean, he
1:40:13
Speaker 1: wouldn't sit down, Yeah, and he kind of stood over us,
1:40:18
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna bother me any We're
1:40:22
Speaker 1: going to ask you hardball questions, and we asked hardball questions.
1:40:26
Speaker 1: But you know, I think he's just been very good
1:40:30
Speaker 1: with this organization, and he's had some tough moments, but
1:40:33
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, he's been really good
1:40:35
Speaker 1: and he's really built a foundation that we're going to
1:40:37
Speaker 1: win for years on. So I've been a big proponent
1:40:39
Speaker 1: of Jerry Depoto, and I'm looking forward to having an
1:40:42
Speaker 1: interview with him where we're not tasked by the fan
1:40:47
Speaker 1: base with you know, hammer him, yeah, hammer him and
1:40:52
Speaker 1: having to ask all the hard questions. I'm looking to
1:40:55
Speaker 1: have a baseball conversation about the Seattle Mariners with Jerry Depoto.
1:41:00
Speaker 7: I'm really looking forward to that.
1:41:02
Speaker 1: And actually I've already been told he's going to be
1:41:05
Speaker 1: joining us Monday, and he's looking forward to So it's
1:41:08
Speaker 1: just going to be a completely different type of interview.
1:41:11
Speaker 1: And you know, I know fans always want us to
1:41:15
Speaker 1: have like you got it, asked the hard questions, and
1:41:18
Speaker 1: I think we do. But it's nice to go down
1:41:22
Speaker 1: there and not have that expectation. Hammer Jerry, get some
1:41:26
Speaker 1: answers and we can just talk baseball. We can just
1:41:28
Speaker 1: talk Mariners baseball.
1:41:29
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:41:29
Speaker 3: Well he doesn't have to be apprehensive about it because
1:41:32
Speaker 3: of the fact that they were they got close, they
1:41:34
Speaker 3: got closer than they've ever been.
1:41:35
Speaker 7: And Executive of the Year.
1:41:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so he doesn't have to come in they're
1:41:40
Speaker 3: worried that he's going to We didn't ever. I mean,
1:41:42
Speaker 3: it wasn't like we didn't ask the right questions. We
1:41:44
Speaker 3: just actually came at it from the standpoint of I
1:41:48
Speaker 3: like what you're doing. Yeah, there's room for improvement that
1:41:51
Speaker 3: you weren't. Nobody's perfect and you you, to some degree,
1:41:53
Speaker 3: you're kind of hamstrung. It doesn't seem like that's the
1:41:57
Speaker 3: case this year. There's still going to be some people
1:41:59
Speaker 3: that think that this organ just doesn't care about winning.
1:42:02
Speaker 3: I think that he's done this job long enough now
1:42:05
Speaker 3: to know you're not going to please everybody, but that's fine.
1:42:08
Speaker 3: Just go out and make the moves that are pleasing
1:42:10
Speaker 3: majority of people, at least the people that are paying attention.
1:42:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we grilled him last year. That was
1:42:15
Speaker 1: the hardest. I mean those we went after him last year,
1:42:20
Speaker 1: and he was prepared for it, and that's why he
1:42:22
Speaker 1: didn't sit down. He wanted to have like a he
1:42:26
Speaker 1: wanted to send Yeah, he wanted to send some body
1:42:28
Speaker 1: language message to us that if you're going to do this,
1:42:32
Speaker 1: then I'm ready, I'm braced for it. And we didn't
1:42:35
Speaker 1: back down. We went after him. I'm excited that I
1:42:38
Speaker 1: don't have to feel that way this year, right, Yeah,
1:42:41
Speaker 1: And so looking forward to looking forward to the whole
1:42:44
Speaker 1: week and we start Monday at six am Boo's News
1:42:46
Speaker 1: to close out this Championship week.
1:42:48
