• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Back cup move.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing is, like, you know these guys,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: it is a business.

  Speaker 3: Wow, that ball punished that to lightfield.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: Cal Rawley hats homeward and back to back games as
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: this finds the gates out there number seven if you
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: didn't know for cal Raleigh, Angian Aaron Mariners TV last
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: night from Minneapolis. So one of the rare highlights of
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: an eleven to four loss. Cal Raleigh does look like
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: he's blocked back in, looks like he's passed all of
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: his early season lose.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but how was the dump guy there? Again?
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess he's just following him.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: But like, how is he in the place where the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: home run lands? Again?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: That's why I can't figure out something weird.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: That guy's got the sports almanac from twenty twenty six,
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: that's what it is. Yeah, because one, how can you
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: afford to go to all of these games? And two
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: how are you always in the place where he just
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: ends up hitting a home run?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Maybe he's omnipotent.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Do you consider that I had not until this moment?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, wouldn't that be crazy?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't that seem like a waste of Jesus's time, if
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: he had come back to Earth and he just decided,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: you know, instead of saving human beings from the direction
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: we're all heading. Yeah, I'm just gonna follow Dumper around and.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to catch all his home run balls.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna get I'm gonna make really bad looking T
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: shirts and I'm just gonna try. I love getting on television.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Actually would actually be fitting, It'd be fitting.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I think somebody needs to have a meeting with Jesus.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: All right, good morning, It's the seven o'clock hour Chuck
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: and Ashley with you coming up a little later. ABC's
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: of the MS Plus we will visit with Greg Bell
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: once again. But first let's get to your headlines. They
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: are brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps. Light Mariners
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: do lose to the Twins last nine by a final
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: score of eleven to four, snaps their four game losing
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: ors four game winning streak, snaps a Twins losing streak
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to even things up. Same time, tonight supposed
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: to be good weather tonight in Minneapolis, or at.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Least not bad weather.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Joe Ryan will pitch for the Twins and Logan Gilbert
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: will pitch for the Mariners, so we are facing the
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: best guy that they have to offer to try to
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: even up this series. I still think that by the
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: end of this Minnesota series we'll be back to five hundred.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: But we shall see. It was an ugly performance certainly
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: last night. Rest of your headlines NBA Playoffs last night,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: the Orlando Magic are now within a game of knocking
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: off a one seed. I don't think that Detroit is
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: your typical one young team had a great regular season,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: but maybe aren't quite ready for playoff basketball. They certainly
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: struggled offensively last night, but the Magic could put them
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: on the brink with their ninety four to eighty eight win.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Of course, their second best player, Wagner, got hurt last night,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: so maybe that impacts the Magic going forward. But Paolo
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: and the Magic one went away from a historical upset
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: of a one seed in the Eastern Conference first round.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Denver avoided the embarrassment of losing in five to an
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: underdog in Minnesota. They won last night one twenty five
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: to one thirteen, but the Joker and company still have
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: work to do. Okse had no problem with the Phoenix Suns.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: They advanced in four straight games.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: In the NBA.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: To night Philly at Boston, Atlanta at New York, Portland
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: at San Antonio. The Spurs and Celtics have a chance
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: to wrap up their series with wins. Stanley Cup Playoffs.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh won over Philadelphia three to two last night, so
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: they stay alive. Flyers still up three games to two
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: in that series. Las Vegas was in danger of falling
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: to Utah three to one. They would have fallen behind
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: in the series, but they end up winning in overtime,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: so the favored Knights have even that series at two
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: games apiece. Buffalo can wrap up their series with Boston
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: tonight at home. Minnesota and Dallas are even up. They
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: play tonight, and Anaheim could really shake up the Stanley
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Cup playoffs with a win tonight and knocking Edmonton and
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Connor McDavid out of the playoffs. Dogs after Dark will
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: be Friday, Friday. I knew it was the first I
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: just assumed it was Saturday.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Because in the past that's always been on Saturday.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: But yes, Jed did change that a couple of years ago,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: and so it's this Friday, so sorry for that mistake.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: In the first hour, we'll talk to Cam Cleland about
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: it at nine o'clock today, and we are, of course
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: all experience drafter math. That's right, the aftermath of the
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: NFL Draft and joining us now to talk some more
• 4:39

• 5:24
  Speaker 2: but our boss rich. Yeah, be very happy I read this.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah exactly, Greg. Good morning, good morning, how are
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you doing?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah? Nearly is post holidays. You are.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, there's no layoff here. I mean
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: you've got rookie mini camp like next week, and then
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: you've got scheduled in like two weeks, so you don't
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: get any time off.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Sorry to tell you about this.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: We're in the contrived portion of the NFL last season,
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: just keeping itself in the news. Yeah, schedule release has
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: become later and later every year too.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Do we know anything more other than the opener about
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the schedule? I mean, we obviously know the opponents and
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: where you'll play those opponents this year, and now we
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: know the home opener is going to are the home opener.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Season opener is going to be on a Wednesday, which
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: they've adjusted. But that's all we know at this point, correct, right.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Everything else is the position.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: There are a lot of people who think the Chicago
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Bears are going to be the September ninth, Wednesday Night
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: NFL opener opponent. The Seahawks still could do two international games.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: They haven't announced Mexico City the opponent for a home
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: game for the forty nine ers down there, and the
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: Washington Commanders have a home game with the opponents still
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: be determined in London, and the Seahawks are scheduled to
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: play at the Commanders this year, so there's still that chance.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: They Sikhs have been expecting in the national Game this year.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Factor of Super Bowl champions means that might raise the chance,
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: but everything else. All the other internationals games have been
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: set with two teams at least announced their rumored All right, well.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: We'll find out May twelfth, thirteenth or fourteenth. I don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: know why they don't pin down a date, but they
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: never do. But in a couple of weeks we'll know
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the schedule and we'll add that to overreact to. So
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: let's talk running backs. Obviously, with the first pick they
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: took Jadarian Price, and then yesterday they decided to release
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Cam Akers, and so as the running back room sits today,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: it's a varied group. There's no question about it. Is
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: this the group though, or do you think that they
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: are not done tinkering.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: I think they'll still add a veteran. They've had Naji
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Harrison for a free agent visit. They're probably waiting to
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: see how his achilles hare from September is. Recovery from
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: that progresses into the late spring and summer.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: But it bears repeating.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: The no matter even if they did sign a veteran,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: the only running back of the seven and well now six,
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: so that they cut cam Akers on the roster, the
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: only one who's signed beyond twenty twenty six is now
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: their new draft pick, which is why to me it was,
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: if not imperative, pretty important. They drafted one that they
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: could project two in three years where he could be
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: on the roster.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: So even the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: Supposed the last year's job sharing, the supposed heir to
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker, Zach Sharboney, his rookie contract ends this year
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: as well. And again we don't know and they still
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: don't know the Seahawks when Sharbona will come back from
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: that reconstructive knee surgery the injury had in January, could
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: be in the middle of the season.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So that's why it became more.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Of an import to bring in a running back in
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: the draft so you could.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Have him for more than one year. That's part of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the reason why they did it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: We talked about how the draft board fell and they
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: were trying to trade down and still get priced in
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: the second round. They weren't able to do that, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: they've targeted running back as the position to get not
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: just because Walker.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Left, but because they have no nothing in the cupboard beyond.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: This year in terms of the secondary.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Obviously you lose a Bryant and you lose a Woolen,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: but you've got Ocatta who proved he can do an
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: expanded role at safety, and you've brought him back.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: You've have Pritchett there.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I've heard things about Finley sort of in the in
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: the background that might play a significant role. So as
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: they view it as far as you can tell, I mean,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: are Bud Clark and Julia Neil Is there an expectation
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: they're going to play a lot? Or is do the
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: veterans right now outrank them on the depth chart.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Well, you didn't mention the Rodney Thomas, who came from
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: Indianapolis was the starting center for starting safety for them
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: a couple of years ago. Yeah, the coaches are really
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: talking him up. To see how coaches loved his tape.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: They were pretty happy to get him in free agency
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: on a relatively low cost deal, as John Schneider tends
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: to do agency. But he's going to get a run
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: and to see where he might fit. Schnyder, Bud Clark
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: will get a chance to be a part of the rotation,
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: and your second round pick should have some impact, if
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: not be a starter. It does show that tyle Cootta
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: is not just going to be handed the job just
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: because he started eleven games last year, most of them
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: was Julian Love was injured, and he obviously played really
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: well by the end of the season compared to the
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: start when they put him more in the back of
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: the end of the safe back of the defense.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Role, but.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: More the better for McDonald. He made the point, you
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: can't have enough cornerbacks after they drafted Julian Neal. He said, well,
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: you can never have enough cornerbacks, and that's because he
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: likes to use him in so many different ways slot, blitzing,
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: zone man press, run support. The Jullian Neil He's was
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: a safety at Fresno State before he transferred to Arkansas
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: became a cornerback and he tackles like a safety, so
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: he's a cornerback and run support and Mike McDonald can
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: find places for that. So it's in a way, it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: almost like a hockey line change in the secondary. That's
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: what Mike McDonald hopes to have with interior pieces moving
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: around now Witherspoon's a fixture there and Julian loves a
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: fixture there, of course. But we saw it last year
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: with Woolen and Job alternating on one side at the corner,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: and that may be where they're headed again, whether it's
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: Job and Neil, whether it's Job and Pritchett. They want
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: to compete over at who's the extra cornerback might be,
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: But he doesn't McDonald doesn't seem willing to just have
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: here's my two starting corners.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And let's go. Yeah. Most of the time they were.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: In Nickel as their base, and a lot of time
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: they were in Die with six defensive backs becount even
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Warrior as a wildcard all over the place.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Greg Mello is with us, our Seahawks insider. We are
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: in the drafter math, the aftermath of the NFL draft,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: but certainly a lot of things to still chop up
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: and discuss with our Seahawks inside. If you want to
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: follow him, do so at she Bell Seattle on X
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: If you aren't doing it already, and get a subscription
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: to the News Tribune right now. You can go to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the website Thenewstribune dot com and gather up all of
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Greg's coverage of the NFL Draft and beyond. You know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I've heard you say this numerous times on your show
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: since you've been back on the air and over the years,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: really about how the draft is not just for I mean,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: it's not for immediate impact. Sometimes it does work that way,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: but when you draft, you're thinking of the future, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: more often than not, you're thinking about how guys are
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: going to fit in the mix two three years down
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: the road.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Zabel and Emon Worri certainly were home runs because they
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: were instant impact and extraordinary at that. But as you
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: look back to twenty twenty five's class, we didn't see
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: a lot from Elijah or Royal.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I think we thought we'd see more.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Jaln Milroe just got such a little bit of a
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: look in some sort of specialty role that he sort
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: of just disappeared from the plans. Riley Mills didn't show up,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: but when he did, it was in the Super Bowl,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: for goodness sake. Tory Horton had injuries, Robbie Oots had injuries,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: and then you still have Cable doing Richmond still around
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: as offensive linemen. So a long way of asking of
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: those guys that were drafted in twenty twenty five. Who's
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: somebody that you think is going to have a much
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: bigger role in twenty twenty six for the Seahawks.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Well, Riley Mills. It's not as if he didn't show
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: up because he was just loafing.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: He had a knee reconstructive surgery in January. He had
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: injured in January. The playoffs, the Notre Dame playoffs is
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: late December actually, and so his full recovery didn't really
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: happen until well, he didn't even get on the per
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: field until late November, and so they have big plans
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: for him. They need an interior defensive line depth. It's
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: part of the reason their seventh round pick Devin Eastern
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: is a nose tackle, a true nose although you don't
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: expect seven round to just jump right in, but Mills
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: is going to be squarely in part of the rotation.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: He's going to be more like i won't say Byron
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: Murphy and playing time, but he's going to be playing
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: and splitting roles with Murphy. We saw the sack in
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: the Super Bowl from Riley Mills and how excited everyone
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: was for it because they had all seen him grinding
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: in the training room since June, and he was there
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: on the practice field all the time, watching and learning
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: from DeMarcus Lawrence and Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy and
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: Jared Reid and absorbed most of last season. He is
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: almost a red shirt year for him, and then the
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: Super Bowl sack has propelled him into Okay, here I go.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: This is why I'm here.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: So I would expect him to get you know, thirty
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: forty percent, maybe more of the snaps the interior defensive line,
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: and have more of a rotation.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this a lot too, Chuck.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: When they were really rolling Legion of Boom top of
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: the league defense, which of course they just had the
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: top rank defense this year, but they didn't have what
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: they had back then of ten defensive linemen eleven defensive
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: linemen coming in waves and wearing down offensive lines. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: mean back then, in those twenty thirteen to fourteen Super
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Bowl teams, they had ten defensive linemen playing by the
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: middle of the first quarter, and they weren't near that
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: last year. They want to get to that, but they're
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: not near that yet. I think they're still going to
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: add a veteran defensive lineman.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: They're going to get there.
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: McDonald's hell bent to make their defensive front and intier
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: defensive line deeper. Riley Mills is going to have a
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: big role compared to what he did.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Last year, just simply because he's going to be there.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Julian' neil seemed to be really excited about being a Seahawk.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: How do you think he's going to fit into this
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: locker room, this culture, and onto this roster.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Well, he wouldn't be here if they didn't think so.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: I wrote a story this morning at the News Tribune.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: You can look at the News Tribune dot com. John
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Schneider has a unique I asked him, how do you
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: think you you had a goal coming in of getting
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: guys who aren't in awe And we certainly didn't hear
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: when we heard Julian Neil Friday that the last thing
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: he was was all in awe of anything talk about
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: I'm coming in here smashing people's faces, and they talk
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: about Bud Clark. They said Bud Clark. First thing he
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: said is Cam Chancellor hammer, not the nail. And the
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: coaches and scouts say that he might be more brash
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: than Julian and Neal.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Although Neil came off more bravado to us.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: They said, Clark has supreme confidence. And so I asked Schnyder,
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: how did you do bringing in how do you think
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: you did and your goal of bringing in guys who
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: are not in awe? He said, Greg, I could talk
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: to you about this for hours. We have something called
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: a competitor scale. This's the first time he's talked about this.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: They actually assign a value, a number to each prospect
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: on how competitive they are and what their makeup is
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: and would they how would they come in and fit
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: in this culture. They get a value for that, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: you're not on their draft board if you don't have
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: a high competitor score and something that the Melkipers and
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Daniel Jeremiahs and all these other people can't measure and
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: don't measure. And when you wonder why the Seahawks zag
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: when everyone thinks they're going to sig in the draft,
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: it's things like that, The fact they have a competitor
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: scale that is unique and organic to just the Seahawks
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: with their own intangibles and their own values and what
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: they're what their locker.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Room to look like.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: You can't forty times in game film, can't measure that.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: So this guy said, how do you go finding that scale?
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: What factors did you go find to make that number?
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: And he said, we sent the scouts out to everywhere,
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: talking to everybody, the ras and their dorms, the janitors
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: on the campus, the librarians, the guidance counselors, the high
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: school coaches and teachers. They do like Rockford files, supreme
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: deep dives on these guys that can't. It's like our
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: audience pre force of audience has no idea what I'm
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: talking about. Kamara and James Garter in nineteen seventies, Melo.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: But the point is they go so far beyond the
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: field to get this competitor scale. And they said that
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: all the guys they drafted scored high on this competitive scale.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: For that locker room culture. It's their biggest challenge. The key,
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: they say to whether they get back to the super
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Bowl is how closely can they replicate the competitors, the
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: locker room environment, and the brotherhood they had last year.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: They will tell you to a man's coaching staff and players,
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: they got to the super Bowl because of their culture,
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: and how can they replicate that. That's their biggest challenge.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Maybe the biggest fear that they'll never have a locker
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: room in a brotherhood like they did last season. So
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: how are we going to get back to the super Bowl?
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: How close can we get to that? And that's what
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: they think. These eight guys are. Now, you're not going
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: to get your seventh round picks, probably aren't going to
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: merge right into traffic, into the culture and the competitiveness
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: and the skill and everything that the Super Bowl team
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: had last year. But they are the more of the
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: projects to get to there. But guys like Clark and
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: Neil and Generium Price who turned away millions at Notre
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Dame to stay behind Jeremiah Price because Jeremiah loved because
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: he wanted to challenge it, being what he called back
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: up to the best player in the country. Those are
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: the guys that are going to merge right into this
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: culture and fit and so far, so good in terms
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: of how.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Competitive they're going to be from day one.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: Instead of just oh, I'm with Devin witherardess Spoon and
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: bowing to them like ten years ago happened.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Well, I retweeted that story out for people if they
• 19:38

  Speaker 4: It's off season bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Collection Prosecco
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: coming up next to your.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Ab seas of them.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: There's a lot to talk about on KJR, just an
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: ug looking game, even the Twins fans that are like,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Want to watch this.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't blame them.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: We're winning by seven, but I'm going home. It's wet.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: It's been raining on me all day.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean, yeah, it wasn't well played either
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: by our group, the local baseball squad, and they got
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: thumped by a bad baseball team last night by a
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: final score of eleven to four on a saggy night
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: in Minneapolis. But there's certainly a lot to discuss, not
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: just from that game, but with everything going on with
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: the Mariners. And that's why we have the alphabet, the
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: ABCS of the MS, because it guides us through a
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: few different topics. Let's start with G. That's where we
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: left off yesterday. G is for Gilbert Logan. Gilbert gets
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: the start today against Joe Ryan, and Joe Ryan is
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: the Minnesota Twins' best pitcher. So you've got a chance
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: still to win this series. You should win the series.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: They won't have weather as an excuse for a reason
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: the next couple of days. Sounds like the error will
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: clear in Minneapolis. And yet Joe Ryan could be a
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: reason that you lose because he is their best starting pitcher.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: So Logan Gilbert needs will be a little bit better
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: than what he's been so far this season. When these
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: next couple of games leave Minneapolis, out of the whole.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Back to five hundred. That's my wish Ray can sell
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: them now.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I like that wish.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: That said, Logan Gilbert's been the topic of a bit
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: of trade rumors here as of late. Jeff Passen has
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: spread some stuff Dave Shoenfeld as well, and they're actually
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: discussing trading him now that maybe that's the solution to
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: the Mariners surplus of starting pitching. I disagree. I mean,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I'll get to is Logan Gilbert a trade possibility in
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: a moment, because absolutely he is. But I just don't
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: see them doing that over Luis Castillo gets moved to
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: the bullpen or no, something other than I mean, because
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I think what they want to do. I think that
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: they are going to trade either Gilbert or Kirby in
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: the next calendar year. But what they're going to want
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: to do is trade for a bunch of prospects, some
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: major league ready prospects.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: They're going to.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Want to restore everything so they can keep this train
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: going year after year and remain competitive because they know
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: they're not going to be able to sign all four
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: of their young starting pitchers to contract extensions. I've been
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: saying this for a long time. So the idea that
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: you move Logan Gilbert right now for what piece? What
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: are you going to get. Hey, you're going to trade
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: one of your best starting pitchers for a bunch of
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: prospects in the middle of a season when you're trying
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: to win the World Series hope not, and you're going
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: to trade him for a veteran bat that might help you. Well,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: why would anybody want Logan Gilbert right now?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Right He's not even at his prime.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: If they're going to no, no, they would want Logan Gilbert.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Why would they want Logan Gilbert right now other than
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: to compete because he's only got a year and a
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: half left on his contract. So they're gonna give up
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: a hitter, a really good hitter, in exchange for Logan
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Gilbert in the middle of a playoff push of their own.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, I threw out a Castillo for Ian Hapting
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, because that felt to me
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: struggling pitchers, struggling hitter both making twenty million dollars per season.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: One satisfies the Cubs because they've had so many starting
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: pitching injuries, and one gives the Mariners a guy that
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: they can play every day and give you Gold Glove
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: caliber left field. So to me, that sort of made sense.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: But if you're going to trade Logan Gilbert, you're gonna
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: ask for pretty much one of the best players on
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: the team that you're trading him to. Right now, what
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: playoff contender is going to trade one of their best
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: everyday players for Logan Gilbilbert.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Right because then you're immediately hurting your chances at the
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: World Series.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: So I don't think that's a possibility in season. But
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, this isn't This isn't just your aunt Tilly
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: spreading these rumors. This is Jeff Passing and Dave Schoenfeld
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: from ESPN that are kicking this, you know, can down
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: the road. So maybe it is a possibility, it doesn't
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: seem like that's logical to me. I think Logan Gilbert
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: is on this team for the rest of this season.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Now that said, I have said four years now, they're
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: not keeping all four of these young pitchers, or if
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Hancock enters, at all five of them.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: There's no way you can afford to keep everybody.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: On contract extensions, not the way that the Mariners operate financially.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: So I have said all along that this offseason, one
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: of Kirby or Gilbert will go. My guess has always
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: been that it would be Kirby because he's got two
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: years left on his deal, so you can actually get
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: and more in return for George Kirby, and then you
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: lock up Logan Gilbert to the extension because Logan's probably
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: more likely to play ball with you financially because of
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: the relationships that he has and the loyalty he as
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: to Cal and many others. He just seemed like a
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: better extension candidate to me than George Kirby. But we
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: started airing rumors that since Logan had his baby, he
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: wants to be closer to family, and his family lives
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: in Florida. So if Logan Gilbert's not willing to play
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: ball on an early extension, is looking to maximize and
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: wants to be in the Southeast. Well, then, yes, Logan
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Gilbert suddenly becomes the candidate to try to trade and
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: George Kirby is the candidate to try to extend. But
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I don't think in either case that's happening till the offseason.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: George Kirby and Logan Gilbert in my opinion that you
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: do not move them in the middle of the year.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: Well, no, and it doesn't help your situation right now anyway,
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: because then you still have Luis Castillo who's struggling, and
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: now you're fifth. You still got the pitcher that's going
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: every five days that got a six point thirty six er.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Well, you could activate Kate Anderson because he might be
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: better than all of them.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Could do that. He dominating right now, all right?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: H is for Hoppy Alex Hoppey made his debut major
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: league debut, and what a crappy.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Way to make your major league debut.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, one hundred people in the stands on the road,
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: terrible weather blowout loss to the Minnesota Twins. The Mariners
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: did try to get back into the game at one point,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: and frankly, I know that at the end of the
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: day he ended up giving up a lot of runs.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: But I loved what I saw out of HS for
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Hoppy last night. That slider is the real deal, as
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: an eighty eight nasty slider that he was throwing when
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: he came into the game and got out of a
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: jam that Wilcox had created. Plus he's got a ninety
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: eight mile per hour fastball, and I'm not surprised at
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: all that sent out for a second inning. The logan Hoppy,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: who has not pitched more than twenty five pitches in
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: an outing all year long, Suddenly you're asking him to
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: pitch over forty He's pitching in the rain. Is adrenaline
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: from coming into his major league debut one hundred people
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: are not all That adrenaline had worn off. So he
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: goes out for the second inning. He starts to lose command,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: walks a couple of guys. Now he's like, well, I
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: can't walk anybody. So now he's lost a.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Little bit of the touch.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: He's a little bit tired, and the adrenaline has worn off.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Now Pete Woodworth came out to make sure he was okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: What else is the rookie going to say? But I
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: think he was tired, and I don't I think that
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: the version you saw of Alex Hoppy and the previous
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: inning is the one that we need to judge because
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: he could have easily came in and been a erradic
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: because he was overstimulated by making his major league debut.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: But he looked like a real deal. He's got stuff. Frankly,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Casey Legumina is never going to have. So I liked
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: what I saw out of hs for Hoppy last night,
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: despite the fact that he gave up three more runs.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but as you said, it was a bad night anyway,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: and so you got to see something a little bit
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: of a bright spot, and then you got and then
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: he kind of was the same as the rest of
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: the team. It was Okay, it is what it is.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: You chalk it up to that night, and let's see
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: him again. I'm excited to see him finally.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I as for inexcusable.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: And if you've been following at all the Chuck and
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Buck radio show or our off season stove podcast I
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: do with Andershurst, you know how much I like Cole Young.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: And I just spent some time yesterday saying what a
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: great weekend series Cole Young had. I probably am out
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: as good big a Cole Young fan as anybody listening
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: right now. I think he's going to be special for us.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: He might not ever be a superstar, but I think
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: he is going to be a rock for this organization
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: at second base for the next ten plus years, and
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: I think he will be one of those guys that
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: they'll entertain an early extension for.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: So I really really do like Cole Young.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: That said, he's young, and he is eyes for immature,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: and he did a couple of things last night that
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I believe our I is inexcusable and not unforgivable, but inexcusable.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I get that we've changed the way that we do
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: things a little bit, and that we want to laugh
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: in the face at the way the things used to
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: be done. But there are some things that I believe
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: still have to be embraced. Because it's the game of baseball.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: When you are trailing as much as the Mariners were
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: trailing in the in the game last night, and you've
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: got a little bit of momentum, first two guys get
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: on base, and you got a picture who suddenly looks
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: erratic and you got him in a two to zero hole.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: That is not the time to swing out of your
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: ass at anything that he throws.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: That is the time to I don't mind.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, it used to be you would definitely take until
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: you got to strike down that much.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, we can adjust that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm perfectly willing to adjust that a little bit
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: if you get your pitch to hit on two and oh,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: go ahead and swing away, because maybe we can do
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: some damage right here, because you know he doesn't want
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: to walk anybody Moore another hitter. But making up your
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: mind like JP Crawford did over the weekend on two
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: and oh, I'm swinging at the next pitch no matter
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: what is inexcusable. He swung at ball three in that moment,
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: allowed the pitcher who was a little bit on the
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: ropes back into the count, and then was ahead three
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: to one again and still didn't get a good swing
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: on it. And that's when he hit that little pop
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: five foul that the guy caught over the tarp and
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: we scored a run out of it. But who cares.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: We were down ye we needed a rally and he
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: killed the rally. And I know that we've changed the
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: way that we do things.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: The philosophy of when you're down seven, you just don't
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: always take until you get a strike. But man, we
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: can't change it so much that you don't take a
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: pitch when you're ahead in the count that is six
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: inches out of the strike zone and you're swinging at it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's got to be your pitch. So that,
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: to me was inexcusable, and I hope that there's a
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: lesson learned there. I hate seeing it. It happens way
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: too much in the modern game. Let's respect the idea
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: that we're trailing and we got to put together a rally.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Even if he hits a three run homer, we still
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: got a long way to go. And so for him
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: to swing at something out of his ass on two
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: and zho that wasn't even close to the strike zone,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: it killed that rally and that opportunity to get back
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: into the game. I didn't even like the fact that
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: he bounce the ball on the relay on the first
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: run that was scored last night by the Twins. It's
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: one hundred feet throw it in the air, for goodness sake.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: We don't have to bounce everything to the first basement
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: or the catcher right like we should have had Josh
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Bell dead to rights, but instead we bounce a ball
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: from one hundred feet from home plate when you know
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: you've got a strong enough arm to gun him down,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: and that takes a little extra time to get to
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: home plate.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: So I didn't like that about Cole's game last night either.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: But he's been great so far this season.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: He was fantastic over the weekend, and I'll forgive him
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: for a couple of soggy moments on a saggy night.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: But it is also fair to be able to criticize
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: him and say, hey, these things got to be changed.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Coming down next here on the radio program, we will
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: talk about another delay. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Well, man,

• 35:13
  Speaker 4: at the Orca Ballroom at t Laylap Resort Casino.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Either this would be a matchmate in heaven or maybe
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: these two people would never should never meet, because I'm
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: not sure they would ever get anything done. But maybe
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Adam Silver and Aaron Rodgers should just hang out.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'd both just they just hang out. They wouldn't.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: They would never get anything done.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: They definitely wouldn't.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, are you going to take out the trash? I
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: thought you were going to.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I'll do it eventually, I'll think about it. I'll stay there.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I'll let you know if I have decided to take
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: out the trash.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Uh. Well, but you know what, it would help us
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: if you just took out the trash.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Well, why don't you take out the trash. Well, I
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: have hired a subcommittee to side whether or.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Not I should take out the trash. I'll run it
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: by the Board of Governors to see who should take
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: out the trash. Oh, I'm not taking out the trash,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: not now anyway.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: No, maybe next week. Well.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Adam Schefter is reporting that the Steelers in the latest
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers drama, I don't even know if it's drama.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: I think everybody understands exactly what the other person, yeah, operates,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: how the other person operates. Steelers a place the rare
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: right of first refusal tender on Aaron Rodgers, meaning that
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: he can accept a ten percent raise off last year's salary,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: which would pay him fifteen million dollars for this upcoming year.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: As another condition of the tender. Rodgers would only be
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: able to sign with the Steelers once training camp begins,
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: so I'm sure they cleared this with him, Otherwise that
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: would be just the thing to anger Aaron Rodgers from
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: signing with it.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: What do you mean, I can only sign with you?
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: What I don't know? I mean, he obviously loves football.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: He's worth more than fifteen million dollars per season, so
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: to play it fifteen or under for two years in
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: a row for the Pittsburgh Steelers would speak how much
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: he loves football and loves the spotlight. But he is
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: once again on his own. He's on Aaron Rodgers' time
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: right now, and so it looks like he'll wait until
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: training camp to decide what he's going to do again
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: this year. And the Steelers seemed to be perfectly okay
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: with it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: They put up with it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: That's the part I can't understand. I'd be so I
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: just am baffled that he is allowed to move around
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: and everything is on his own schedule, despite the fact
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: that there's an entire organization whose schedule should be more
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: important than one individual.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, for a lot of people, you do what you
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: can get away with.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he can get away with a lot.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: The Steelers obviously he's their best option and no one
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: else considers him really an option, so it's either this
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: or bust. They did draft a quarterback, A lot of
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: people said they were going to draft a quarterback, which
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I was a little surprised by. They took Drew Aller
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: in the third round, and so they now have Aler,
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: and they have Howard, and they have Mason Rudolph there
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: So adding Aaron Rodgers would give them too big of
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: a room of quarterbacks at this point. So it doesn't
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: sound like the Steelers are going to be broken hearted
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: either way whether he comes back or not. But they
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: do acknowledge if you do come back, you would be
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: our best quarterback. So we shall see. In the meantime,
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: there were some stories floated around yesterday that maybe that
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Adam Silvers renegging on his statement that will know answers
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: this calendar year about whether or not expansions coming to Seattle.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: I didn't hear this from Adam silver. There were a
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: couple of other reports that out there yesterday, including one
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: from Bloomberg that never suggested anything of this nature. But
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: the local newspaper is suggesting that it may be delayed
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: even further the decision on whether or not to expand,
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: And I would just say, I guess that would potentially
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: be to flesh out Memphis and Portland and to figure
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: out whether or not you want to stay there long term.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Obviously the Portland owners making things very weird, and obviously there's.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Something going on in Memphis.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if we're going to have four
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: new NBA franchises two years from now or just two,
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: but either way, Seattle and Vegas are going to be involved.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: But maybe there will be a decision by Adam Silver
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: to not expand and just kick those two franchises over
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: to Seattle and Vegas and keep it where it is.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I guess that is a possibility, but that doesn't excuse.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: You from making your decision.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: You said, this was the point of that last conference
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: that you had, was we can't keep doing this to
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Seattle in Vegas.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: We can't keep kicking this down the road. Let's decide
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: now whether or not we want to do this.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: And everybody said, yes, let's go ahead and do this,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: So get your crap in order, let's go figure this out.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: Well, and this is the reason that I get so
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: frustrated with the NBA, besides the fact that they screwed
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: us over years ago along with our own city leaders.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: But it's because it just seems to be one thing
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: after another. There's always something that comes up that's like, well,
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: hold on, we got to do this. Oh, hold on,
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: we gotta do this. I mean, you know, crap or
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: get off the pot.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: M h.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: I'm getting sick of it.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: And that's why, you know, I know that I wasn't
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: gung ho when all of a sudden all this stuff
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: came out. But it's I just want to wait until
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: it actually happens because I don't have a doubt that
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: one day we will get a team back.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I just don't know what it's going to be.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: And that's where my doubt comes in, Like how long
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: are you going to make us wait? Because it seems
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: like you keep dangling this carrot in front of us
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: and then pulling it away.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I think we're gonna know this year. I think we're
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: gonna know this year. But it might not be expansion. Yeah,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: it might not be We'll see.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, cam Cleveland is going to join us today.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: Not only will we talk a little bit udub Dogs
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: after dark, but we will also talk a little NFL
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Draft as well with the former NFL tight end Cam
• 41:07
