  Speaker 1: them through the eyes of of They're not the team.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The team is the Rams. Like I just said what
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: John said yesterday, and but there's I'm telling you, there's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: plenty of attention here like this is Greg and I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: were just mentioning in Crosstock. It's it. You know, it's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: not quite and we're not in training camp. It's mini camp.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But I mean we had NFL films or the zillion
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: people here from NFL films. I just crazy set up
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: yesterday Today the NFL networks, Steve White and others are
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: doing live shots in the NFL radio on Sirius XM's here.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: There's a ton of corporate sponsors that were here yesterday.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: They're going to be here tomorrow. There is a lot
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: more activity around mini camp. When you're the defending Super
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Bowl champions then certainly then before the last few years,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it's not we'll see what training camp's like. Training camp.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I am expecting to be a zoo. Yeah, just an
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: absolute gong show because frankly, it's it's the first time you're,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know, since twenty thirteen or twenty fourteen, Ye're the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: defending champions and so they'll end with hard knocks here.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It'll be crazy.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: One thing I didn't mention in the headlines. I do
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: want to do this for Seahawks fans because I think
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this is something people always are in tune with. They
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: did announce the day that started training camp, which is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: earlier than normal that they announced this. It feels like
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they haven't announced the start of training camp this early before.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Usually we're kind of we're backtiming twelve days or this
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: thirteen days from the first preseason game. Anyway, first day
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in training camp here the Virginia Based athleticsenter July twenty fifth.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: They're going to actually have nine public training camp practices.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I believe that's down a little bit from last year.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I think they had I want to say, wait for it, twelve.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: For the twelves.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Then for the twelve I believe they had eleven or twelve.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Last It used to be they had a like maybe
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: more open. They've got nine public training camp practices. First one,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: July twenty fifth, so and they're going to start putting
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: tickets on sale for the public Tuesday, June sixteenth. All right,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: if you're a season ticket holder, you're going to be
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: allowed to register a day early on June fifteenth. So
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: if your season ticket older, June fifteenth, deal here about
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: getting your opportunity to come out here to training camp.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: If you're not a season ticket holder, June sixteenth is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: when you're gonna hear about that again. July twenty fifth
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is the first day of training camp for the Seahawks
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: when they get things going as they get ready to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: defend their title. That's a Saturday, by the way, July
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth, So away we go training camp the underway.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go, let's have some fun. Yeah, it's almost got
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: just over a month and a half away, right.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: So not feel like it has been that long since
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the end of the season.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what happens when you play into the second
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: week in February. Sure, that's that's what happens, and it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: one of the things you gotta do. So yeah, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that's what going on. We'll hear from McDonald later on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: today and expect to have Drake Thomas on looking forward
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to that conversation tomorrow. Tomorrow, Sunn'll come up tomorrow. We're
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not gonna have a ton of time here to get
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: into the Mariners. I'll just I mentioned this earlier in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the headlines. There were so many things that happened in
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that Like a lot of times in one hundred and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: sixty two games, recapping and breaking down a game from
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the night before is tedious.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: From the host of a daily recap show.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: That's that's why you do what you do, and that's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: why I don't do that. But there was no shortage
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of things to talk about last night, No zero logan.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Gilbert ended up throwing one hundred and five pitches, only
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: sixty one were strikes. Somehow, he grinded out six innings
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of three, hit one run a ball, only walked two.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this too, only struck out five.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That's where you get your pitch count up with strikeouts
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and walks. He went three and two on I don't know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: like every other batter, right, it felt like, especially in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the first two innings when he was over fifty pitches
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: for the first two innings and somehow able to settle
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it down and go four more and give Seattle a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: chance in a game in which this was their bullpen.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Hoppy spire for rare going on third straight day, right
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was our third time in four days, and Devillia gets
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: his first career save. I mean it was they were
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: down guys. Bizarta was not available, Munia was not available.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We didn't think Ferrera was available, but he was. They
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: went to him and you saw the result. Three hits
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in one inning, three hits, two runs, blew the save.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So uh, they grind it. That's a that's a nice win.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Like when you go back through the season and you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: look and say, okay, you know what were the what
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: were the highlights of the year in the regular season.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Some wins just felt better and feel better than others.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: That one felt better. That one felt better. First of all,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the Oils can hit like offensively, they're really good, yes,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and they put up five yesterday. So for you to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: get that win six to five with a decreased bullpen,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it didn't look like your starter was gonna even hell
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I wondering if he's gonna get out the second inning.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: To be honest with you, yeah, he ha was over
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: sixty pitches through two innings.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was fitty that was sixty, wasn't he? Yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this, dude's not gonna last. And then in fact,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I had a meeting. I go into a meeting after
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the second inning and I come back out and it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the top of the or bottom of the six, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I hear Gilbert's name.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what, Like, yeah, oh he's still in. How
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the hell?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: How the hell did that happen?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But he ends up grinding out a ton of great defense.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Patrick Wisdom, big big play in extra innings, garb Ran Bliss,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bliss. I mean it just was I mean, Bliss
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: can't hit, but he can he can run the bases
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and field and good good on Wisdom as well. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that maybe a little bit later on
• 6:21

• 7:17
  Speaker 1: All right, here you go, Stuart Mandel joining us from
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the Athletic. Of course you hear them all college football
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: season starting usually we start really bothering Stewart on a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: weekly basis in mid to late August and all the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: way through the college football playoff, And of course he's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: kind enough to stay on what we would call retainer
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in the business sort of because there's never a shortage
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of news. But this week is a little bit different.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Up here in Seattle and all across the country, we've
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: all been talking about Brendan Soresby the quarterback, maybe the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback at Texas Tech and everything going on down there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Stuart and Ralph and Bruce just did a great podcast yesterday.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I would encourage people to listen to it at well
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: thought out and man, I don't even know where to start.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: First of all, Stuart, thanks for joining us. How are you,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: my friend?
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: I'm good, Ian, How are you?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm fascinated by this topic on so many levels.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And one of the levels is, and we'll get to it,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is the perception of Texas Tech nationwide right now. And
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's not just football. You just finished covering the women's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: College World Series for fast pitch for softball. There's an
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: element of that there too as well with what they're
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: doing in terms of spending some money. But let's just
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: start here, first of all, with the very generic, open
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: ended Stuart Mandel, give us shore your overall summary of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Texas Tech and Brenda Sorosby.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: I judge, one judge in one county in Lubbock County
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: made a ruling that's inexcusable, that goes against our entire
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: country's history of how we treat betting in sports, particularly
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: on one's own team, as he did at Indiana, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: because of it, I think everybody around college sports is horrified,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: and they're taking it out on Texas Tech much more
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: so than Soorsby. And that's a large part because Texas Tech,
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: they were already kicked off at Texas Tech, They're already
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: annoyed at Cody Campbell and his one man, you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: funding the payroll, trying to buy a championship, but also
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: while at the same time going on this huge political
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: campaign supposedly to try to save college sports. I don't
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: think Texas Tech has helped itself. I don't think Cody
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Campbell has helped itself with their defiance. I don't know
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: that they maybe they totally underestimated beforehand what might happen
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: if he actually won this injunction, and how the rest
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: of those college football would look at it, because they
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: keep trying to sell it as this is just a
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: troubled young man trying to overcome an addiction. We just
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: were just looking out for his well being and everybody else.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: And by the way, how often is anything in this
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: country happened where everybody's unified against it is saying that's ridiculous,
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Like even if that is even if we take you
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: at your word on that, that doesn't mean he has
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: to keep playing football games after he blatantly violated the rules.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And let's just there's a lot to get to, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: just the perspeption of Texas Tech one of those. We'll
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: get to that in a second. Let me let's just
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: go back to the basic. What we're talking about here
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is something that I think none of us can fathom
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in sports, and whether it be the Pete Rose betting scandal,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the Black Sox with the White Sox way back when,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and Shoeless Joe in that group, a point shaving in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: college basketball, places like Northwestern, Arizona State, Boston College had
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: those issues, and you know Calvin Ridley in the NFL
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: betting from inside the locker room. There's one thing, Stuart,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that everyone doesn't matter what the sport what, and I'm
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: talking major sports, whether it be Division I college athletics
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: or major professional sports. There's one thing we're all kind
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of in in agreement with right you cannot bet on
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: your sport specifically, and you certainly can't go as far
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: as betting your own team. I just can't fathom why
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: this is being allowed by a judge and by the way,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the judge was the University of Houston graduate. The Texas
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Tech judge originally recused himself. Right, So it's a tex
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: A Houston judge alum who made this ruling where his team,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: his alma mater, actually would have to play Soresby in
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the first time. He's back. So you're right, I've never
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: seen anything like it. Acc Big ten SEC group of five,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They're all agreement, including all members of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the Big twelve except for Texas Tech. So where do
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: we go from here?
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Stu, Yeah, I mean right now, I think right. Nor
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Mark In particular, the Big twelve commissioner is under pressure
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: because fifteen of his members are gassed at this and
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: want some sort of action to be taken. The NCAA
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: is now hamstrung by that injunction, they can't really do anything.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: The question is can the Big twelve take the matter
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: into their own hands? And and I think it tells
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: you how serious this is that you immediately had schools
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: threatening to not schedule them, to boycott them, even within
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: the Big Twelve conversations about that. Now, it's one thing
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: to say that, it's another to do it would actually
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: get that far, But I think it's going to be
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: a defining moment for Brett or Mark, who to this point,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: you know, is known mostly for making deals right, getting
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: getting the TV deal, getting realignment done, you know, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: all his like k kooky marketing things like getting shot
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: to DJ the conference tournament. This is the first real
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: cut to the heart of integrity of sports issue he's
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: had to deal with. And is he going to try
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: to go head to head with Texas Tech, who to
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: this point seems completely dug in that they're going to
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: do this, and you know, the Big twelve says some
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: sort of action. I'm sure Source band or Tech will
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: media sue them. I think everybody right now is racking
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: their brain to see can we can we still prevent
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: this from happening.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Stuart mandelphan Athletic joining us. Stuart, wouldn't it just be
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: as simple as your Mark laying down the just saying
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you're ineligible in the conference saying you're in eligible, and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I would bring up I mean, it's a different set
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: of circumstances as to why. But here in Seattle, you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: early nineties, Don James and the University of Washington were
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: penalized by the then Pack ten, not by the NCAA,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: but by the then Pack ten, and the conference laid down,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you know, the sanctions against them. He immediately resigned and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: quit the program and left. But it was done by
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the conference, and in a way we went, why won't
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the conference, why won't your mark, you know, listen to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the other members, not just a majority, but all but
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: one member and say this young man is ineligible.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: I was actually talking to that, talking about that with
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: somebody the other day. How back in the nineties, maybe
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: early two thousands, the conferences have their own enforcement arms,
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: and I don't know why or when that kind of
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: all went away. Now they're kind of talking about bringing
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: it back. I don't think it's I don't think there's
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: you know, I haven't memorized the Big twelve bylaws, but ah,
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: I do know this. They all have sporcemanship policies that
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: are kind of vague and open ended, and they allow
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: you to for I mean, where you most see that
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: commonly is, you know, player punches a player in a
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: game and they come out the next week and say
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: he's suspended, he violated the sportsmanship policy. Or you know
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: what coach is criticizing the officiating. That happens all the time,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: and so I don't know why you couldn't say he,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: regardless of whether he's eligible or not, he participated in
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: something that is a direct violation of our sportsmanship policy
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: and therefore he's suspended for X. And whether that would
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: be a few more games or the whole season, I
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: don't know. Could they then turn around and see the
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Big twelve? Sure, but you know why, you're not gonna
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: why sit on your hands and do nothing, especially when
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, I just think this has gone beyond college
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: football at this point. The story has broken contained. As
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: my friend Ralphrusso says, it has ramifications for all of
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: sports if we start sending the message that you can
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: do this and get away with it. So I don't
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: I do not think the Big twelve can sit on
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: his hands on this one. The question is are they
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: gonna kind of take the most serious possible option or
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: something a little more lukewarm, like a reprimand or tisk
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: tisks something like that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I wonder And just for people wondering about Texas Tech,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: they doubled down today at least are athletic trick. You're right,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Kirby Holpe cut a long, lengthy one two, three, four, five, six, seven,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: seven paragraph statement saying, you know, he made a mistake,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: he needs a second chance. We're there to support him.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: That's what we're doing. And all this I listen a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: crock in a lot of people's eyes. For sure what
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: he was saying. It's about winning football games. It's about
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a quarterback that you went and spend a bunch of
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: money on invested in. But they doubled down. It's pretty
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: apparent that Texas Tech is not going to back down,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: are they. They're not going to take their own actions
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and say, you know what, it's just not worth it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It feels like Texas Tech is in this thing for
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the long haul.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: I think so right now. I don't know if maybe
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Danner has prevailed, if they start to realize just how
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: much damage they're doing in their relationships. I mean, for
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: one thing, the whole Cody Campbell protect college sports thing.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Don't believe for a second that he's just doing that
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: out of the goodness of his heart. That penet bill,
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: which he had a big hand in, is specifically designed
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: to keep the big ten and SEC from blessing their
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: muscle and breaking away. And you know, his big thing
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: is we should pool all media rights. All of it
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: is to ensure that Texas Tech is not left behind
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: when the next whatever, the next iteration of this is
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: they want to be part of that super league. They
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: want to be part of the big boy table. And
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: everything you're doing right now is a big, big turn
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: off to the big ten in sec and frankly, everybody,
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: and are you really and all of this, by the way,
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: for a quarterback who is talented but has not to
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: this point had like a illustrious career, he just was
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: kind of one of the best options in the portal.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Last year. They have Will Hammond who played He's injured
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: right now, but he played well when he when we
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: saw him last year in a couple of games, like,
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: I just cannot believe you're blow toward You're burning every
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: bridge in the sport over this one quarterback.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It's remarkable. It just shows that I don't even call
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the pressure to win, just the desire to win, especially
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: when you have a big money donor like Cody Campbell
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: along the way. Stuart Mandel with its from the athletics,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: ste the I think multiple things can be true here.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I think we all can agree that you know, betting again,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not just on your own sport, but damn your own team,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and to that, not just once like the defensive linemen
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: did betting on the women's basketball team at Iowa and
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: then losing his eligibility and other things. This is you know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: ninety plus bets, ninety thousand dollars all the numbers we've heard,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: or nine hundred bets. I guess it is all those
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: things egregious and you should not be led to. I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: think we all can agree on that. That said, Stuart,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: how much of this is there is a big blowback
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and pushback because it's also Texas Tech. They went out
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and spent a zillion dollars on softball. They said, we
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: want to win in softball, and so we're gonna get
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the best picture in the country and pay her a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: million dollars. We're gonna spend a bunch of money on
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: our men's basketball program. They have always been one of
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the have nots in a sense, going back to when
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Leach was there years ago. Now they're because of they
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: have a booster Phil Knight, like they're trying to the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: they're surpassing Oregon or whoever else I'm spending and maybe
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the good old boys down south don't like it. Maybe
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the powers of the Big Ten don't like it, what
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: have you. How much of this is also some blowback
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: towards Texas Tech at all, if anything at all.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Quite a bit. I mean, you know, there's been suggestions like, well,
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: if he was the quarterback at Rutgers and people care
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: this much, I think they would care because it's disturbing.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: I don't think there would be such a trial. You know,
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Texas Tech has basically become the heel of college sports.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: And the thing is, I don't actually have a problem
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: with Cody Campbell spending his money to try to win
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: a conference championship or a softball national championship. You know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: this came up as a the Softball World Series last week.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: It's like, what are they supposed to do? Just if
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: you want to win a championship, you're not going to
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: just beat out Texas and Oklahoma for recruits because of
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: the coach. We like the coach, right, Like they this
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: is allowed a school, Texas Tech, to accelerate a rebuilding project.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: Like I don't have a problem with that because frankly,
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: they're not the only ones paying players, right. This is
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: different and So if you're somebody who already had a
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: lot of resentment towards them about the way they are
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: circumventing rules with the paying players, then this is just
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: like the ultimate. This is the this is the spark
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: of the dynamite, right. So I have no doubt that
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: that's part of why, a large part of why you're
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: seeing such like one thing that you're seeing people go
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: on the record ads in particular and say things that
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: usually they only say anonymously, like they gloves are off.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: We're going at it like that's how mad people are.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I I when you talk to people around and I
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: think that part of the story fascinates me again because
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I think it's just the black and white think you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: shouldn't play. But that fascinates me because I guess my question, Stu,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: when you're talking to people around the college athletics and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: again for people to sort of just cover the women's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: College World Series, which by the way, I was fascinated by.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome about Texas Tech was a fun, interesting,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: dynamic story switching pictures in the middle of innings and games.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: They got two hammers. One they're paid. You know, that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: pitched more innings than ever in college World Series play,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and you know they just everything about it. I guess
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: part I'm fascinated by Stu is this. Why is there
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: such vitriol towards I guess it would be the new
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: money of Texas Tech. We don't have that same Miami
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: spending money in football like Nobody's business Oregon with Phil Knight.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of schools across the country have
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: been doing this for a while. Why so much vitriol,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: why so much anger towards Texas Tech, Brendan Soresby or not.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: I think anytime somebody rides out of nowhere and tries
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: to crash the party. I mean this college football, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: I would even say college softball. There's a small group
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: of clubs. There are teams that are used to running
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: the show. And somebody comes up and is a threat
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: to that, they're going to try to swap them back down.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: So I think that's a big part of it. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: also think it's just Cody Campbell. He's become such a
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: polarizing figure. Like you said, like, okay, Miami, let's use
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: organ actually as a better example. Right, everybody knows they
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: have Nike money. Everybody knows there's a lot of money.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: They don't talk about it. It's all behind closed doors.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: If anything, Dan Lanning has tried to distance them from
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: that publicly. Texas Second is the first one I can
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: come along. It's just like they want to openly. You
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: just stick a microphone in front of Cody Campbell. He'll
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: tell you exactly how much money they're spending. Last year,
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: the figure was for the whole athletic parmer was fifty
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: five million dollars. So it's just brazing, right, It's just
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: like we're we don't we don't care, We're going to
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: do this anyway. And so and then he's out there,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: you know, he's running TV ads, he's getting on the
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: presidential you know, at the presidential roundtable, like he's basically
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: trying to run color sports. So there's a lot of
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: polarizing net So I think at this point he's pretty despised.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I would agree. There's no doubt. Do you think there's
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: any juice behind teams and schools. I listen, I listening
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to the Big Ten or the SECC. We're not going
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to schedule you whatever. They're at a different conference. And I mean,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think that has a lot of teeth to it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: But I do chuckle when I see some schools trying
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to become the beacons of morality and ethics. But inside
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the conference is what matters. So if these other fifteen
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: schools say we is there anything to them just saying
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: we will not play Texas Tech period in a story?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it is there anything behind that?
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's one thing for like Georgia to say
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: we're not going to schedule Texas Tech, and where they
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: planning him to begin with right in the conference? I
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: think it gets I think it gets complicated. I mean,
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: the TV networks are paying a lot of money to
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: show your conference games. You're just going to remove nine
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: of them from the schedule. Also, if you all fork,
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: it doesn't take a stick win the conference something nine
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: to zero. So I don't know, I don't know how
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: practical that is. I think a lot of it is
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: eat at the moment. This is just you know, uh,
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: this is just still very new and also like a
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: lot of it's just trying to apply pressure. I think
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: if Brett, if you you gave Brett or Mark truth here,
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: he probably doesn't want to do anything. He doesn't want
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: to step into the middle of this. But his you
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: know this, this is very similar frankly to what happened
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: with the Michigan sign stealing, where you know, the other coaches,
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: the other schools in the Big Ten were furious and
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: they went to Tony Petiti, who had just started the job.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: You know, they wanted them to He wanted to forget
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: the NCAA. You need to go sanction them, you need
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: to they should be banned from the Big Ten Championship,
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And what he did
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: was suspende of Hardback for three games. He found a
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: way to take some sort of action that wasn't quite
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: the nuclear option of banning them from anything. And so
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: if you apply enough pressure, just break your marks, say,
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: try to come up with something like that.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just gonna ask you, as we'll wrap
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: it up with this too. I mean, the appeals process
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: wouldn't happen until February twenty twenty seven court wise, So
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: again it probably is in the hands of the Big twelve.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: And it feels like this could change even the next
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: two or three minutes when we're talking. But as as
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you look ahead, do you expect to see Brenda Sorosby
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: on the field at all next year for Texas Tech.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: I've given up trying to predict that because I frankly
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: thought there was almost a zero percent chance of that,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: because I didn't think the argument that his lawyers made
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: was so weak that I just didn't think there's any
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: way possible he could win that injunction.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: But he did.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: And so who am I to say that a appeals court, which,
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: by the way, all four judges that are in that
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: circuit are Texas Tech grads, won't just uphold it, right
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: or I think the other issue is, from what I'm told,
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: is that those things tend to take a long time. Right,
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: So even if even if they were inclined to overturn it,
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: is it actually going to happen before September eighteenth. So
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: I think the only way it ends up happening is
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: the he ends up not playing is either if the
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: big Twell takes some sort of defection or Brandon Soorsby
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: and Texas Tech themselves say maybe this isn't the best idea.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's not something people are really talking about.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: But like, is it really good for Brendan Soorsby to
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: be to take on this role like his name is
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: now synonymous with like he's a parah, right, And if
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: he's really going to go play this college football season
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: and every game, every road game, the fans are going
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: to be merciless toward him, every game. The broadcasters are
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: going to talk about this like he won't be able
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: to escape it. So maybe, you know, maybe seeing your
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: heads will prevail there. The issue of course being well,
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: what happens to his n I own money? I think
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: frankly that's probably a reason why Texas Tech hasn't changed
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: sports yet. They don't know. They don't want to have
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: to pay four or five million dollars to somebody that's
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: never going to play for them.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just to wrap it up and just one
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: more real quick. That's the thing. I brought this up
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: on the show the other day. You know, he can
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: run like he's an athletic quarterback. So at what point
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: is he facing a third and goal from the two
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: yard line and runs an RPO and instead of pitching
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: it to a wide open running back, tries to force
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: his own way to the end zone. And then the speculation, well,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: he probably had himself as over you know, half of
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a touchdown run or something. I mean, it's just all
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that stuff comes into play, right.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Every interception, every bad game, bad incompletion. And by the way,
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: to be clear, in that investigation, there was no evidence
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: that he was point shaving. He wasn't even playing in
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: the games, right, right. Perception is reality, right exactly. One
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: other thing I was is, if you know anybody with addiction,
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: it's horrible. It's a lifetime thing. So are we just
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: going to take their word that he went to a
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: month of the treatment and now he's fine and this
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: isn't going to come up again this season. There's just
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: so much, there's so many layers to this that makes
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: the decision so wrong.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I would agree. The audible podcast get it where you
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: get your podcasts. It's the one yesterday was sensational with
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Ralph and Bruce and Stu. Most of us are regular
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: listeners to it. Also, you can check out Stu's work.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: It's got a mail bag up today on the Athletic
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: dot com. And of course, the story from yesterday or
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: two days ago. I guess when the stuff first broke
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: is as comprehensive as it gets as well, So go
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: check that out. Stuart. Thank you for coming on. My
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: guess is we'll talk again before the college football season starts,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: because who knows what's going to happen to this crazy sport.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: But thank you for popping on. I appreciate it, all right,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Thanks Ian, That is Stuart Mandel will take a break
• 28:55

• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Big thanks for Stuart Mandel. Listen to his audible podcast.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It was fantastic they did. And I mentioned that you
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: dub This is where I just don't think it's It
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be that hard, you know. In nineteen ninety three,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the PAC ten at the time it imposed a two
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: year bowl ban, a one year television band of scholarship
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: productions on the University of Washington football team due to
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: recruiting violations and booster misconduct. Now later on, later on
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff James included, were absolved. They they were
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: kind of Hey, it wasn't your fault, but you know,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the program listened Billy Joe, all the stuff going on
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: with Billy Joe Holbert, the stuff at the golf course,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the fake I would just call it. The fake job
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: they had in the summer were him and I said Kralik,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: one of the receivers. They would just sit out there
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: at the old golf course by the by the airport,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I have breakfast, hit some golf balls and allegedly get
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: paid for that work. And between that the Camaro to
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: knock a smith dealing guns out of the boat house.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I mean they had a lot of stuff going on
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: down there at U DUB. I mean you Dub had
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of bad things going on, right Mario, huh right,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, uh not with you. You know what,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: it all happened after you left. Yeah, it started with
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the pose and then it happened after you left. Legend
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of Franklin High School, My guy Mario baby the year
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: right now, some people call Mario. I don't know why
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: that why that would be not me? I know I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: remember you from high school. Yeah, coach we're talking about
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: coach James right now. Yeah, DJ could do whatever you wanted. Yeah,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: like like that was the thing what I mentioned is Stewart,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: this is the thing that don't get. They they the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Pac ten just said, this is what it is to
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: your bullbend when your television ban scholarship productions. And by
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the way, the television band back then was a big
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: deal because every game was on TV, right, So they
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: impose those things on these guys. And that's why I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: just don't get with the Big twelve. Just say, listen,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: he can't play. He's ineligible, simple as that. Sue us.

  Speaker 1: We'll see in court in twenty twenty seven.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, Like I just.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Don't think it is that. It shouldn't be that hard.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: So why didn't they then don't. I think they're afraid
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: of a lawsuit. And I make it very sound, very simplistic. Oh,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: we don't care, But I think that's what it is. Honestly,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. Okay, I'm sure much

• 34:01
  Speaker 1: two of the mandatory Mini camp out here at Virginia
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Mason Athletic Center. Short practice to day. In fact, it
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: was just literally a walk through in the indoor practice facility.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: There was nothing, I'm gonna say this right now, nothing
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to see here, nothing to see here. So that was today,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: very very quiet. They weren't even outside, so they wrapped
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: up after about an hour. They'll wrap up Mini camp
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: and the pre training camp version of their offseason workouts

  Speaker 1: again we'll get some Seahawk conversation coming up here for
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the head coach. Lots of stuff we want to hear
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: about him or hear from him, coming up here in
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes time.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I have a quick update for you. Yes, I don't
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: know if you saw the comments by Joey McGuire on
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: the Brandon Sorosby situation because you just spoke recently.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll just read this quote for you.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: For some reason, as a society, we've been okay with
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: other things that happen in allowing players to play, and
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: this has been the one thing that has united people
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: that they were against. It's crazy because it's not murder,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: it's not beating somebody. So there's a lot of things
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: that we're working through. None of this is okay en
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: route to defending allowing Brennan Soresby to play because of
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: a quote unquote gambling addiction.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: So your thoughts.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Joey mcguarre is a head coach of Texas Tech. For
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: folks who don't know, Yes, we had the conversation last
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: hour with Stuart Mandel. Oh, I don't even know where
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: to start.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Caring it to murder, Are you freaking kidding?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, and I've made mention this, I've
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: said this before. Multiple things can be true. There's a
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: lot of people, there's a lot of there's a lot
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of student athletes that frankly do not deserve the right
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and the privilege to represent a school on the field, court,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: diamond brink, whatever it is, and when I say that,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: because of some of the egregious things they've done away
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: from the playing surface, like murder, like a lot of things,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: or at least there should be some penalties murders. It's different, beast,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: but like you know what I'm saying, the salt what happened?
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, domestic and schools.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: That now are trying to be like this beacon of
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the moral high ground looking at you, Georgia among others
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: that that are like well, taking a stand against Texas Tech.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Stop it. But with that said, the one thing that
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: everyone agrees upon, really outside of Lubbock, Texas apparently, is
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that if you gamble on your own sport, and even
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: you're in God your own team, you should the penalty
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: should not be two games non conference against two I mean, listen,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: all due respect to Marcus Sheppard in Oregon State, that's
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the tougher, the two Abbey and Christian the first one.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: There's there's just no reason that those guys that he
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: should be allowed to play. If you cannot trust what
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you're seeing on the playing surface to be real, to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: be authentic, to not be fixed, shaved, what have you,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: then we've lost all abilities to to enjoy that sport
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and it's just wrong. I don't know if soccer's ever
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: had any I'm sure they have had betting and betting scandals.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Right, not like super recently, but they have a big
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: kind of yeah yeah.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Right, And and so you just there's certain things that
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: you are just you should just get cut off with
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the knees for. And that's it. That's as simp it's
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: as simple as that. I mean, listen, they're in absolute
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: spin mode right now in Lubbock. Yeah, and I do
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: believe what Stewart said was right. There is a strong
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: feeling of resentment throughout college athletics towards Texas Tech. They're
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the Johnny come Lately. And you know, this probably existed
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: even fifteen years ago, twenty years ago towards Oregon. You know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: when Phil Knight first started getting involved, and and you know,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: all the power brokers across college athletics were upset because
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: this guy that owns Nike is all of a sudden
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: an infusion of money into these programs and facilities and
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: everything else. And that was basically what Phil Knight's first
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: stuff was. It was facilities and coaches and what have you, Right,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: uniforms and all the things you're just looking great. Now,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: obviously nil comes into play, it's a whole different beast.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: But there was a lot of resentment. I think there
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: still is. Hell Listen, man, if you're a Husky fan,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: you resent Oregon, right, of course, let's be honest, totally
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: resent Oregon. Yeah, but so there's a feeling of resentment
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: towards Texas Tech. But that and so what we would
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: never know is what Stewart said, if Brendan Soresby was
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: going to be quarterbacking Rutgers. What would the reaction of
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: been if Brendon Soorsby the one I'd wanted, Because really,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: whatever records, I mean, who cares, It.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Would still be a story because it's a guy that's betting.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: It would be a story maybe about playing, but I
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: don't think that would be as much of a united
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: front against a cross college football.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: My question is which we would never know the answer
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: to this. We'd never know the answer to this. My
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: question is what if it was Brendon Soresby was playing
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: for the You of Miami or Georgia or Ohio State Boys. Yeah,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: one of the halves, one of the true power brokers
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: in college football. What if that were the case. Now,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: maybe there's a little bit of a precedent Reggie Bush,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll USC and there was and listen, that wasn't betting.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: That was just the fact that you know, they got
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: caught with their hands in the cookie jar, and you
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: know they're somehow Reggie's parents ended up with a condo
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: in southern California or whatever it was, which God now
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: was like that's commonplace, right, But there was some resentment
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: and people were mad Pete and everything else, and right
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: they got they got their hands slapped, uh, Texas text
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: a different beasts. They're not part of the you know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: popular kids club. You know, they're not one of the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: popular kids. And but now they're trying to force their
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: way in through money and people resent that. But that
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: does not diminish in any way the fact that this
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: guy bet on college football as a college football player,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: including wagers on his own team, whether he was playing
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: or not. It's just you cannot do that, period, end
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: of story. You just can't. But the spin, the spin
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: machine in Lubbock is remarkable, like it is, it is
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in fun like I would just love to be a
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: fly on the wall there. Okay, here's our talking points
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: for today exactly. Throw out the words murder, dui, blah blah,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: b all these things, right, don't thought. That's just that's simple, man,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the last segment is really simple. Big twelve,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: just just say he's not eligible. Pull a pack ten on,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: don James, you're you're These are our sanctions. We're gonna
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: lay as a conference. It's against you, period, end of story.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: You want to fight us on it, go ahead, right,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: just you And I'm sure they're looking at the legalities
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: of all that. The stuff that holds no water are
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: like Big ten in SEC schools saying we're not gonna
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: play you. Okay, you're not they're they're not even on
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: your You're not even on the schedule anyway. Really, Like
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Georgia is the funniest one. We're not gonna play you. Really, Georgia,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: you're in the SEC. You were actually gonna play a
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: hard non conference game. Really was that gonna happen?
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Not anymore?
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I guess was that was that? Like? Was that in
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the planning stages? And I miss something future schedule wise? Like,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: but the rest of the Big twelve, the Big twelve
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: is the only thing that matters here, and they're the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: ones that need to take the lead and say where
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: he can't play. It's just and like Stewart said, every
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. Every time, every throw, pass, interception, turnover, touchdown,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter good or bad, it's gonna be scrutinized. If
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, I would have just said, can
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I get to the NFL right now? Yeah, gim me
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: in this supplemental.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Draft probably would be you know, there's gonna be opportunities
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: for you, right.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I think he would probably be a second or third
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: round pick, and the supple the supplemental draft, it's like,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: you know, this just goes the same draft order one
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: through thirty two, and like you get down there, nobody
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: takes him the first round. Nobody wants to lose a
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: third first round pick next year on him. So then
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: get to the second round. If somebody want to spend
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: a second round pick on him, if you get through there, no, right,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: you could do a third round, then you pick him.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I think our guy Tim Rosenbab from Wazo was a
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: supplemental pick. I want to say third round, so of
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals. But it's so, you know, would somebody take him? Yeah,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: somebody's gonna definitely take him, stash him on the practice squad,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: or stash him as your third string quarterback, develop him
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: for a year, see what he can do. But yeah,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: it's the whole thing's ridiculou Im glad you brought that
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: up real quick. Mariner's roster moves. Miles Master Bony is
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: reinstated from the sixty day injured list with a right
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: cat strain, so he's back on the roster. Ryan Bliss, sorry,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell, option to Triple A TA Coma. Domingo Gonzalez right,
• 42:49

• 43:31
  Speaker 1: struggling in that game. Remember this is a guy that
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: missed the entire twenty twenty four season with Tommy John surgery.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: Came back like halfway through last year. Yeah.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: So the picture that they dfade had made twenty two
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: appearances Tacoma. Oh yeah, that's why you get DFA five
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: seven five.
• 43:51

• 43:56
  Speaker 1: you're gone, Master bony back. He gave you some. He
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: gave me some good time last year, right, Yeah, I
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: like I like Miles. I like Miles now he he
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: in his rehabit, Simons didn't look so good either in
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: terms of the numbers. Man, he gives you a little
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: bit more than blister us. So there you go. That's out.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: And the other news who's not in the lineup today
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: once again.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Called Arl Simerson.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: But according to you know those who are their reports,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Adam Jude says he did speak with him. He took
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: swings in the cages, feeling better and will avoid an

• 46:40
  Speaker 7: the leadership of your veterans.
• 46:43
  Speaker 9: Well, I think I think we're just trying to be us.
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: I'm sure you feel the same thing. The energy, the
• 46:48
  Speaker 9: spirit behind the team. Uh, just feels like we're just
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: trying to have a great second day of mini camp,
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: you know. I think try to be that simple, and
• 46:59
  Speaker 9: let's stay in the present moment and try to nail that,
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: you know, today and tomorrow, and then put a great
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: plan in place for the off season, you know, for
• 47:05
  Speaker 9: the summer, and then let's go from there pro keeping
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: it simple.
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: Where do you feel like you're at in terms of
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: the new offense and getting things in and progress.
• 47:15
  Speaker 9: It's great. I mean to use the term new, I
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: would say kind of you know, it's it's uh, this
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: year's version of last year's offense, you know. So it's
• 47:24
  Speaker 9: the Seahawks offense, and Brian's brought some great ideas and
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: some things that we can kind of move and shift.
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: But right now it's more of an installation, some more
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: of a put guys in positions where you know, ask
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: them to do certain techniques and you know, protections plays
• 47:40
  Speaker 9: that they need to be you know, shown before we
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: go and start executing a plan and start kind of
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: carving out ultimately what we're gonna look like. So right
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: now it's more of an installation phase.
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: And what are you noticing or learning about Brian's rituals have.
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: Well, I appreciate Brian. He's very detailed oriented. I love
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: how we coach the whole offense, much like Clinton did.
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: But it's got to all be connected and all the
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: details matter. The fundamentals matter, of the drills matter on
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: on how we build out our offense, and and he's
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: very aware of that. It matters to him. It's very detailed,
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: doing a great job with the staff. So I'm excited,
• 48:22
  Speaker 9: but you know, it's it's gonna be a journey with
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: all three phases. And we're right where we should be
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: right now in mini camp and and then we'll just
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: u We'll know, we'll take it day by day and
• 48:32
  Speaker 9: keep moving forward those details.
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry you guys are home at list, but I
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: noticed Sam's had the year.
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: You guys were calling in the place to walk.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's.
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: Eric Kennedy, Austin Bowie special our equipment guys trying to
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: figure out a way for us not to have to
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: wear helmets. And still be able to communicate and simulate,
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: you know, in a normal game environment. So those guys
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: did a great job figuring out a way to make
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: it as least in trusive as possible. What do you
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: learn about.
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: Emmanuel Wilson and Gadarion Price over the hostage spot apartment? Uh?
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: Both are going to be really good players in their
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: own right, putting themselves and put themselves in great positions
• 49:12
  Speaker 9: going into the off season. Obviously different parts of their
• 49:15
  Speaker 9: both careers, but excited, excited about both guys. Take it
• 49:20
  Speaker 9: day by day, just keep keep chopping away, doing doing
• 49:22
  Speaker 9: a good job.
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: How are you just seeing them progress as they're getting
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: more kind of around.
• 49:28
  Speaker 9: I wish that we had a better team event the
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: other night, you know, less rookies this year, But guys
• 49:34
  Speaker 9: are in great spirits, expected better performance in training camp. Uh,
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: But same thing. Just I think I think they're they
• 49:43
  Speaker 9: kind of got flooded with information in terms of install
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: during OTAs. Now you've kind of wound it back. They've
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: been exposed all the things they need to be exposed to,
• 49:51
  Speaker 9: you know, to get into training camp. Now the focus
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: for them is, you know, how do how do I
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: how do I formulate like a kind of a holistic
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: plan around what I want to do this summer to
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: put myself in the best position I can possibly be
• 50:04
  Speaker 9: to have a great training camp. That's something that you know,
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: I felt like we've really grown as a as a
• 50:10
  Speaker 9: staff and me personally of you know, giving them the
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: tools going into summer and then really for me setting
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: the expectation for what we expect for when they come
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: back for training camp so we can hit the ground
• 50:20
  Speaker 9: running like the.
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: Walk and talk to you guys do it's the origins
• 50:24
  Speaker 11: of that were the purpose of average to get up.
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: Front well, last year, we felt like we kind of
• 50:31
  Speaker 9: treated the treated like a culture install with just to
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: try to get everybody aligned and you know, at a
• 50:37
  Speaker 9: certain point they want to stop listening to me and
• 50:40
  Speaker 9: you want to hear like from as a coach, you know,
• 50:42
  Speaker 9: you can add calm people in a team setting, but
• 50:45
  Speaker 9: you really want guys to take have the opportunity to
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: take ownership of how we want to be just on
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: how we roll, like what's our.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Way a life.
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: So I felt like we felt like it's important to
• 50:55
  Speaker 9: include everybody and so you know, how do you cross
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: section and what's the right number of people, and it's
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: evolved over time. Like initially he was kind of a
• 51:02
  Speaker 9: talking more structurally about our culture, and now it's really
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: just a mechanism for us to connect and and uh,
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: you know also also kind of let the let the
• 51:11
  Speaker 9: culture breathe a little bit and evolve, uh, to where
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: where this team you know, wants it to go. You know,
• 51:17
  Speaker 9: so you're kind of putting in their hands to a
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: certain extent.
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: It was organic or did you get that from somewhere?
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: Did you say it so much?
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: It was?
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: It was organic?
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: Does I need Bobby Hart? I guess hope, I nig
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: of that guy's Josh.
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: Well, Bobby's a good tackle. We need we need we
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: need a third tackle. And uh, Josh hasn't practiced yet.
• 51:37
  Speaker 9: So Josh needs to practice to compete with Bobby. Right now,
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: Bobby's practicing. What's going on with Jo He's not practicing?
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: Is that related to the two injuries he dealt with?
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: Uh, he's just he's just not ready to practice yet.
• 51:50
  Speaker 9: So he needs to he needs to become ready to practice.
• 51:54
  Speaker 9: That's on, that's his responsibility.
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: Had a couple of veterans into the secondary a free agency.
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: How are you saying knowing Monogny and Rodney Thomas next.
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, both guys have had a great offseason. Uh,
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: different personalities, both really good skill sets.
• 52:10
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: Excited, excited about both those guys. Yeah, they're they're doing
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: a great job.
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: Jared Ivy is he a defensive end?
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: Was he?
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: He's seem in drills with behind.
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: Mine, they kind of all do drills like together, and
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: he's like he's gonna play. Probably could end up in
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: the A gap. He'd probably a gap all the way
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: to de gap. So who's coaching them? When it's kind
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: of a it doesn't really matter type of thing, like
• 52:37
  Speaker 9: we all kind of we coach everybody up. No such
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: thing as like farming each other's land. That's like that's
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: like a cuss word. We coach everybody. Okay, don't the
• 52:46
  Speaker 9: whole like don't coach my guy thing is for not
• 52:50
  Speaker 9: not good coaches. In my opinion, what are you looking
• 52:52
  Speaker 9: for for Robbie's and the second season that's look, well,
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: I think I think there there's some more ways we
• 53:01
  Speaker 9: could move him around. So and he's done a good job.
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: He's like learning the whole routtree, and he's had a
• 53:05
  Speaker 9: great attitude and I think Uh, he's gonna have a
• 53:08
  Speaker 9: great opportunity and training camp to carve out a you know,
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: a great role for himself for you know, maybe we're
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: not sitting in ibacks every time he's out there, and
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: that we will be in iebacks, you know, but there's
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: some there's some opportunity to grow his role for sure.
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: We've seen Rashid grow out here have.
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, it's been great. It's been great Rashid. Look,
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: he deserves a lot of credit. He's been here the
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: whole time. He's had a great app he's great at
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: a great attitude. It's a lot of personal records in
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: our offseason training program, the timing of our plays look
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: like look like it should you know, give him the
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: amount of repsit are invested into it, and I know,
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: I'm I'm as excited as heck to see to see
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: where it goes.
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: You had said that there was a chance maybe to
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: he could get back by the end of this, but
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: what's his kind of progress at the stage, and you'd
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: expect him to be full go for you to come.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: To training cast.
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, still still all positive, a tory. He's not going
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: to do anything today or tomorrow. But you know, we
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: should be looking at early on in camp, if not
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: at the beginning of camp where he's you know, if
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: we stay on schedule and everything goes well, we'll be
• 54:11
  Speaker 9: praying that he can be out there and you know
• 54:13
  Speaker 9: it won't be a full you know, you gotta gonna
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: be smart and how he comes back and all that,
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: but he should be uh should be active within I
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: don't put a timetable on. It could be anywhere from
• 54:22
  Speaker 9: day one he's rocking and rolling, or maybe it's a
• 54:24
  Speaker 9: couple of days.
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: We'll see Charles. I don't think we've talked to you
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: since you guys traded for er Charles. What do you
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: like about him?
• 54:30
  Speaker 9: Well, there's a lot to like at Gunner and Special
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: Teams does a lot of great things. Just you know
• 54:34
  Speaker 9: the body types now on special teams, these bigger, faster
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: guys that can block move people also run fast down
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: the field like that. That stuff really translates. And he's
• 54:44
  Speaker 9: doing a good job on offense. So he's writ in
• 54:46
  Speaker 9: the thick of things and he's catching up a little bit,
• 54:49
  Speaker 9: but he's he's done. He's done some good stuff in practice.
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: Really excited to see him, you know, playing the perimeter
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: on our on our teams. I know Jay is too.
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: Zach Shevan had a schedule on schedules.
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: If you're gonna, if you're gonna, guess what type of
• 55:01
  Speaker 9: schedule Zach Sharbony would be on. That's the type of
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: schedule he's on. So doing a great job, doing a
• 55:08
  Speaker 9: great job. I know, I know he has a high
• 55:10
  Speaker 9: expectations for himself and uh look forward to see you
• 55:14
  Speaker 9: know where it ends up.
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: Is there a possibility he could be at the start
• 55:17
  Speaker 7: of the season.
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: Everything's possible.
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Like Julian, Julian last year, well he's willing to ye.
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: He changed positions a little bit of enough coping in
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: the town to.
• 55:29
  Speaker 11: Make these different tie to stay where he did playing
• 55:32
  Speaker 11: And then he talked this year, if I can have
• 55:33
  Speaker 11: the pan on how they check out in the.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Second area, and he's going to do different things for guys,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: us a pro war to.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: Be the guys like yeah, move me versus you know,
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: someone helps the.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Team orsus saying this is my.
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's Julian. He's uh, he's the mayor man. Uh,
• 55:51
  Speaker 9: just one of one of one of our leaders on
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: our team. You know, I think that that exemplifies the
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: mentality would look for all our guys really, but it's
• 56:00
  Speaker 9: never really a question with Juliane. You just you assume
• 56:02
  Speaker 9: that he's gonna feel that way. At a testament, this
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: is who he is every day, I would say, we're not.
• 56:07
  Speaker 9: We're never trying to take away from his ability to
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: make plays or get him away from the action. I
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: know personally, we're always thinking about how do we get
• 56:15
  Speaker 9: him closer to the action?
• 56:16
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: Sometimes he you know, because he is so talented and
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: so versatile, sometimes you do have to put him in
• 56:20
  Speaker 9: other situations to you know, round out the eleven to
• 56:23
  Speaker 9: make sure we're you know, the best eleven out there.
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: But the fact that that's not an issue just just
• 56:28
  Speaker 9: makes us a lot better team. So testament to.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Him what we're seeing from the three year rookie corner
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: draft picks fansay Boiler and younger.
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not it's not.
• 56:37
  Speaker 9: Uh, it's not something where you can just walk in
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: and just know what to do immediately. It takes a
• 56:43
  Speaker 9: lot of work. Guys are putting an extra work creatitude.
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: There.
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: They're still rookies, you know, they're still probably not playing
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: at the speed that we're gonna want to expect to
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: come training camp time. But that's not for a lack
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: of trying. And they have to trust that they got
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: to go through out around on this thing and and
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: just just keep you know, keep going through the process.
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: It'll it'll, it'll clear up. And like we're not going
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: to go into a game with the amount of defense
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: that we have in right now, so uh, it'll clear
• 57:12
  Speaker 9: up for him and I expect him have great training
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: camps to can and compete for for a large.
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: Role like Clark.
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: Kind of yeah, same thing with Bud. It's it's just
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: a it's a it's a it's a case of you know,
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: how how much do you move him around? Because he
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: can do all the things similar to some other guys
• 57:28
  Speaker 9: we have, But how do you how do you divvy
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: up the reps in the time so he can really
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: get good, you know, the right amount of things we
• 57:35
  Speaker 9: can compete for it for an opportunity. So that's where
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: he's at. But uh, now he did a great job
• 57:40
  Speaker 9: in the at the team dinner, he was awesome. He
• 57:45
  Speaker 9: was Bud Clark, he's great. Kay's good. We'll see, we'll
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: see come training camp time how we handle it. But
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: he's coming along, you see here working on the.
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: Agression skills, and certainly the way he's approaching trying to
• 58:03
  Speaker 8: keep the skills.
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: They've also seeking liked a lot of good advice from you.
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: What does that say that I don't seem to just
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: get better than none of that?
• 58:09
  Speaker 9: Well, I don't. I don't think he's changed in that regard.
• 58:12
  Speaker 9: I think that's the way that he was last year.
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: We've we've our staff dynamics have changed a little bit.
• 58:20
  Speaker 9: I think, I think just for what we felt like
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: we needed to do, and so he just I guess
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: I think he's working with everybody because he can and
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: because he wants to, and there's only X amount of
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: time in the day, so he has to invest that
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: time and be intentful about it. And CEP, he's doing
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: a great job organizing the whole thing. But again, just
• 58:39
  Speaker 9: to see like the law working with him other guys,
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: his willingness to learn. You know, a lot of guys
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: would put would be afraid to put themselves in a
• 58:47
  Speaker 9: situation where they don't necessarily look like they know that
• 58:50
  Speaker 9: they're like great at it yet. But he's okay being
• 58:52
  Speaker 9: in that kind of gray area, and now he's got
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: a sense urgency to get there. But he's not afraid
• 58:56
  Speaker 9: to kind of jump head first or to speak my approach.
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: It's got a great opportunity had it here. You've got
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: to see him play a little bit the last than
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: two years.
• 59:02
  Speaker 11: But what do you need to see this offseason from
• 59:04
  Speaker 11: him in terms of taking a big game here, being
• 59:08
  Speaker 11: able to maybe step into the line up more.
• 59:11
  Speaker 10: It's just got to keep growing.
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't say it's a it's a function of consistency
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: or anything like that. He's he has the talent. Uh,
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: He's made He's made great plays for us. There's gonna
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: be a great competition on our secondary to you fill
• 59:24
  Speaker 9: out some of these roles and and look, we're open
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: to see how like it has doesn't have to shake
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: out the way it did last year. How we play,
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: you know, deploy our personnel. It's all about letting the
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: players kind of dictate to us on how you know
• 59:36
  Speaker 9: the team's going to function the best. And he's gonna
• 59:39
  Speaker 9: he's right there. He's got a great opportunity in front
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: of him.
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: Have you seen your guys rings yet or are you
• 59:43
  Speaker 7: in the dark and tal tomorrow as well?
• 59:44
  Speaker 9: I've seen a version of some rings, So I'm happy.
• 59:49
  Speaker 9: I do not know what the final one looks like,
• 59:51
  Speaker 9: but I'm really excited and I know, h everyone involved
• 59:53
  Speaker 9: in the process, starting with Jody Chuck kind of headed
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: up the whole thing. There's a lot of people involved
• 59:58
  Speaker 9: throughout the building. H just just really impressed with like
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: how the process went down, and I know I saw this.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 9: I'm really confident it's our guys gonna be really proud
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: of it. It's gonna be really awesome.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 12: Philosophical question, Mike, your leadership, the origins of it and
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 12: the key tenants of it.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 7: Where did that come from?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 9: Starts with my faith, probably goes to the principles that
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: my my parents raise us with, how my sisters are,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: and then you know, I've been really blessed to be
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 9: around great, great people, starting with you know, John Harball,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: Jim Harball. I mean, a lot of the lot of
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: the foundational principles in terms of football come from those guys.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 7: Got two injury questions, Arroyo at Salbert. What's going on
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: with them?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 9: Ah, they're just working through some stuff. I mean that,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: but they're they'll it's positive for training camp. So just
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: taking care of him right now.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 7: We didn't see Devint Easter out there.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the same thing. I'd like to know.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: This is the earliest we've reached mid season for him
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: on in the information.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: I'm surprised, you ass but shout out we'll play maybe
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: next time, maybe next time. All right, thanks.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: I love how his personality's coming out a little that Ian.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's certainly evolved quite a bit since year one.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Here in the third year, coming off of Super Bowl.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Just a couple of highlights from their community service day,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: So they're taking different groups to both Children's Hospital, Ronald
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: McDonald House, the VA Hospital, and Doug Baldwin's Community Center
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: down here in rent And so a really cool deal
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: they're doing that today because we had heard they're like
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: doing like some sort of team bonding maybe top golf
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: or something like that, but instead getting out there and
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: really kind of making an impact. And I mean, I
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: just again, just go back. No one would knowing the
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: impact you can make it Children's and Ronald McDonald house. Specifically,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: seeing some NFL players from the Super Bowl champions walk
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: in is just really a just a testament to these guys.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: It is really cool that they're doing that new offense
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: kind of I like what he said here, that's about
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: the new offense with Brian Fleury goes, well, it's kind
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: of new. It's just this year's version of last year's
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: offense to Seahawks offense, which is the Kyle Shanahan offense,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: which is the Seohn mcvayoff I would go through the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: whole list, right, Yeah, but it's just a tweaking of that.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: The Rashid she Heed stuff I'm really interested in, he says,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: very pleased with him, Excited to see where it goes.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: This is and he did talk about Tory Horton's at
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: all positive, could be actually ready to go at the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: start of camp, which we found out today is July
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth, a Saturday. Still all positive. If he's not
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: active day one, it sounds like Horton will be back
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: as the as camp progresses. If you have both a
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: healthy Tory Horton and a Rashid Shihed who's now acclimated
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: into the offense, this team has gotten better in the
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: offseason in that regard. They didn't really have Horton much
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: last year. She Heed was a late addition and mostly
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: a special teams guy. That you're better offensively with those guys.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Talked about Zach Charbonay had a schedule possible to be
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: ready at the start of anything's possible could be ready.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna be ready to start the season, but
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: kind of left that door open. Less enthusiastic about Kenny
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: McIntosh coming along, really not enthusiastic about backup swing tackle
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Josh Jones, who's he's not practicing. Like he almost sounded
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: annoyed by that, didn't He did like kind of annoyed
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit along the way with that. So, yeah,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: and all the injury I mean, listen everyone, like I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: did laugh with VP of Communication with Dave Pearson, you know,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: thrown out there. We're already mid season four with injury questions. Well,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: here's the thing at this time of the year, when
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: you have a nothing burger practice and you get a
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: chance talk to coach, I think I think every fan,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: every media member, they want to get an injury. I
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: want to ask, Right, that's what's important this time of

  Speaker 1: over Vegas in Vegas. Vegas came back. There was a

• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: goals in the second, tied at two after two, and
• 1:05:06

• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: two mark of period number three, his seventh of the playoffs.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Got he might be the con smyth winner if they

  Speaker 1: playoffs and the guy that first played first played in

  Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Finals seventeen years ago, captain for.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: The Carolina hurc.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: It's either him or Brett Howden for Vegas, who has
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: like fifteen goals or something like that.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'll go to Marner if it's Vegas.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: If Vegas wins, yeah, If if Carolina wins, it's it's
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: probably it's probably Stall. Yeah, Eewers has seven goals as well,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: but he's got a couple of empty netters mixed in there,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: so I yeah, it's not gonna be a goalie. I'll
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: tell you that he's goalie. Not played well in the
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup final. Carter Hart not great again, Brenan Busky
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: was Okay, I didn't look at the underlying numbers, but anyway,

• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: point three k DFM. Before we get to the top
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: of the hour, just a real quick note here, Patrick
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: mahomes Man uh just sign an extension to his contract.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: It becomes and I these numbers are always weird.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: Anders yoke it work.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: They call it the largest contract in NFL history, five
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: hundred and four million dollars in terms of what's guaranteed
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: and and all of that. But the bottom line is
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: he's under contract through twenty thirty three. That's that's kind
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: of what I mean.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: He's added two years to his deal, right right, yeah, right.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: And then you can spread the money out and do
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: some you know, roster or some salary cap gymnastics with
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: it along the way. Love him, hate him whatever you
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: whatever you think of Patrick Mahomes, just as a sports fan,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: I think it's cool in today's day and agency a
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: guy that's gonna have he's gonna play with problem his
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: entire career in Kansas City, you know. And I'm just
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: sometimes old manny in and you know, like there's things
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: I want to see. I did not like seeing Tom
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Brady go somewhere else. I wanted to hate him just
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: in New England. I didn't need to hate him Tampa
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Bay either, you know, watching watching Joe Montana go to
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, stuff like that. You know, Brett Favre bounce
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: around to the Jets and the Vikings at the end
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: of his career, you know that type of thing. I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: think it's pretty damn cool that that's gonna happen and
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: being end up happening. And the best thing is is, well,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Seattle does play them this year, but you only see
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: him every couple of years, so that's kind of nice too.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: All Right, there you go. Well, we're gonna do something
• 1:07:39

  Speaker 1: and first of all four nine four or five to one,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I know what I'm gonna see on it to coming
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: to dodge text line the soccer hate that permeates. I'm
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: just gonna tell you stop wasting my time in yours.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you say. If you just if
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be the guy that goes who I don't care.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: I really don't care, and really you're wasting my time
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: and your time by typing that. So just move on.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: If this isn't your thing, fine, this farce just goes
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: past a match or one game or this is the
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: biggest sporting event in the world not named the Olympics,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: and I think you could make an argument in some
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: cases it might be bigger than the Olympics some years
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: as well, this year included with the expanded field and
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's being hosted by three different countries
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: in North America. If you can't understand, get excited or
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: at least be somewhat interested in this, that's a you problem,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: and I feel sorry for you. Meanwhile, the rest of us,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: we'll see a World Cup featuring forty eight teams, forty
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: eight teams the most ever, and away we go. It
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: starts tomorrow. So I put together, through my help of Anders,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: a great cast of characters, Anderson Hurst and Jackson Felt,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: who are going to be anchoring all of our coverage
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: on iHeart, not just here in Seattle, but across the
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: country in the West Coast. It's going to come out
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: of here, out of our studios down the hall at iHeartRadio,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: carrying all the games on ninety three point three KJFM
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: or nine point fifty on the AM dial, pregame and
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: pre match postmatch coverage with a cast of great analysts
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: and experts. We're all over this thing and I'm excited.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we're doing it. I think it's really cool.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: It's a big event. And so Jackson's here, Andrews is
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: here and welcoming in as well, the voice of the
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Sounders on play by play and All American at North Carolina.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: I also spend some time in England with Leeds United.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Danny Jackson is here as well. Danny, First of all,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: thanks for popping on man. How are you.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 13: Very well?
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: How are you guys? Looking forward to tomorrow? Kicks off,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: As you said, the biggest tournament in the world.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome. Jackson, I'm gonna start with you
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: before I get into the some of the things I want,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: you know, the kind of the one o one for
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: World Cup for everybody. If we'rea into that. You were
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: down at listen, I'm not beholding you were down at
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Loomenfield today. Yeah, soon to be nail in Seattle Stadium.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Whatever the hell it is. But you were down there today.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: You saw the grass. You've already seen it for some
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: matches down there, but you saw the grass. You get
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: a chance to walk around. What are the changes look
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: like to the stadium in the surrounding area.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: The biggest changing is quite glaring.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 11: What they've done is they've taken the platform, the normal
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 11: bottom platform.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: Where they overlay the turf and.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 11: Whatever for concerts and all that, and they have built
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 11: a fourteen inch box on top of that surface. And
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 11: in those fourteen inches is a whole irrigation and drainage system.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 11: It's a huge supported platform at pretty much every single spot.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 11: And then they've done the grass over that fourteen inch platform.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 11: So the most glary and interesting thing is that you're
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 11: looking at a field where the seats. If you're you know,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 11: sitting five rows up one hundred level at Lumen Field
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 11: for a Seahawk game, and you're at Seattle Stadium for
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 11: a World Cup game, it's fourteen inches higher that surface,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 11: and it makes a difference if you're just sitting a
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 11: little up in the stands, if you're in the press box,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 11: if you're in the broadcast booth, even on TV. I
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 11: imagine Ian it's gonna make a big difference. Otherwise, you
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 11: got lots of fan activations on the north end of
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 11: the stadium. The entire event center south of the stadium
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 11: has been turned into a kind of reformed event center
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 11: with a whole bunch of couches, chairs, bars, and activations there.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 11: It is, I would say, very feeling like Lumen, with
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 11: a few specific twists that make it World Cup ready.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: All right, let me start first with Andrews. Just before
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: I get into the nuances and the teams and the
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: players to watch and some of the early round group
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: stage matchups with Danny and Jackson and Andrews, just give
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: us a quick little synopsis again of what we're doing.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can hear every single match on Heart,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: the iHeartMedia app, iHeartRadio app. Excuse me, there's a specific
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: channel for the World Cup, and that's for all one
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: hundred and four matches, right, forty four of those one
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: hundred and four matches we will be producing from here
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: in iHeartMedia Seattle, pregame, halftime and postgame. Like with you said,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: a cast of either myself or Jackson hosting. We got
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: a bunch of different great analysts locally here, but they
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: also are experts on the game from the international side
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: as well, Danny being one of those, and I'm very
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: excited to work with him. And you can hear pregame, halftime,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: postgame content on those forty four matches. We also are
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: doing a daily recap show seven to eight pm Monday
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: through Friday with myself hosting in Maybe if you're just
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: listening during the commercial breaks, you'll hear what's called our
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: Daily Minute kind of recap from the day before for
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: the World Cup. So you'll be covered with all the
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: content here regarding the FIFA World Cup on iHeartRadio.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: All right, Danny, let me go to you if someone's
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: listening right now, and say, Okay, you already scolded some people,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: but I'm just kind of not sure if I'm into soccer,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: if I'm into the sport, sell them on why this
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: is different.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 13: You know, Let's start with the number of people watching
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 13: the game. The average viewership around the world is about
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 13: two hundred and fifty million for the average group game,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 13: and that will rank rampurpose you go through the tournament.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 13: I think the twenty twenty two final between Argentina and
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 13: France got close to two billion viewers. So it's global
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 13: and it's got the superstars, the people that you probably
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 13: see on social media see across that TV screens from
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 13: Mbappe and Harland and Lemina Mal Harry Kane from England,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 13: and of course full of sit who's the main man
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 13: for the US. So it is a huge event, one
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 13: hundred and four games, as you said, all across the country.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 13: We're going to have seven hundred and fifty thousand people
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 13: visiting the Great of Seattle area.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: For the Games here.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 13: So it is a global event that will have all
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 13: eyes of the world on the US, Mexico, and Canada
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 13: over the next month and a half.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: Jackson outside of US, Australia on the nineteenth here at
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Seattle Stadium, Loo and Field, what have you. But outside
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: of that match, because obviously it's the US, what match
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: are you most excited for in Seattle?
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 11: Oh, it's easily Belgium Egypt that's coming up next Monday
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 11: at noon. I'm right now very much watching the ticket market.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 11: Right now we're seeing prices right around four hundred dollars
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 11: and I'm waiting for hoping those drop to about three
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 11: hundred and then I'm going to purchase a couple of
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 11: tickets because the market may drop, it may not. But
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 11: that's a game that not only are these two teams
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 11: top twenty teams in the world, but you have big
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 11: superstar level of most sala with the egypt you have
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 11: frankly a bunch of stars, I think with that Belgium
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 11: team that really, when we talk about dark horses, Ian
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 11: Belgium is one of those teams that is kind of
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 11: one of those sneaky picks where if you actually work
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 11: it out and say, okay, well, if Belgium wins their group,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 11: if the United States wins their group, they could meet
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 11: again in Seattle on the round of sixteen there on
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 11: July third. Well, if Belgium gets past that, we're talking
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 11: about a quarterfinal team and suddenly you're just a couple
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 11: wins away from a final. So that right there lines
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 11: itself up as a not only a big group stage
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 11: game for both of them, but a chance for you know,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 11: to see who could be a team in Belgium that
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 11: goes very deep in this tournament.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: That's a battle of the Eastern versus Western Washington. By
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: the way, right, Belgium training in Seattle at the Sounder
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Facility in Egypt at Gonzaga right now. So that's Dick
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Fane's team is Egypt Fanes East. Wow, Okay, shots fired.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: That's his that's his favorite team. Andrews say, okay, if
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: that's number one, what's number two outside of the US?
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I guess it's two three.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: What's the games at Seattle, you're asking, Yeah, I mean I'm.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: Gonna take the low hanging fruit and say the round
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: of sixteen game because it's a knockout stage.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Right. What's the date on that?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the exactly It is July third, yes,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: because July first is the round of thirty two game.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: Jackson talked about purchasing tickets. I've already kind of snuck
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: in there for for because we don't are not broadcasting
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: that day. I'm going to the round of thirty two game,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: which possibly could be Belgium by the way, so that
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: will be a fun one.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: I just think there's so many different ways to look
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: at this tournament for anyone who's trying to look at
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: like a comp for you know, something that's in American sports.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: I've kind of compared a little bit to the NCAA
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: tournament because there's a bunch of games going on. You
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: can watch it all times of the day, not the
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: overlapping as there are with NCUABA tournament, which I actually
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: because you can watch one game and that's the only
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: game on and then you watch the next game. There's
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: the favorites that you expect to get to the final,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: but there's always the cinderella story. One from last tournament
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: was Morocco getting to the semi final was pretty cool
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: for them to experience that, you know, they're superstars. It
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: just feels like a month long I always call it
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: the month long Festival of football, so to speak, and
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: it's just it's a party. It's a soccer party. You
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: get to, you know, kind of watch in all kind
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: of facets of the game. You can watch the superstars,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: you can watch just from a USA perspective. You can
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe find another team that you feel like
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: it speaks to you for whatever reason, that you think
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: may may go on and win it. There's so many
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: ways to enjoy it, so I highly recommend just just
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: having a little ounce of interest in it at least, all.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: Right, andrews Hurst Jackson Phelps Danny Jackson voice of the
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: Sounders with us. He'll be all all three are part
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: of our iHeart and KG our coverage of the World Cup,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: which starts coming up tomorrow. Danny, this was this surprised me.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: Only eight teams have ever won the World Cup. That's crazy,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: and I mean was Argentina is a defending Champs France
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. We know, you know, Brazil's wanted, England's wanted, Germany,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So Danny, let me give me a just
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: mention that both these guys just mentioned, you know Cinderella teams.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: Give me a team, maybe it is Belgium, the aforementioned Belgium,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: but give me a team, Danny that could be a
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: first time World Cup winner, And I guess if that's
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: the case, would probably fall into the Cinderella category.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 13: It would, and I'm looking through the listening. Portugal would
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 13: be somebody that stands out. Obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo is going
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 13: to be his last tournament. He and Messy are going
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 13: to have their kind of moment in the sun, so
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 13: to speak, before they golf and just retire. In the
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 13: Cup the next couple of years, I think that's a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 13: team that has the chance to maybe step up. You know,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 13: you've got a big bump behind Christiano Ronaldo being his last.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 13: You've got a ton of talent throughout that squad and
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 13: that team that can make her run. And again, I
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 13: think a lot of it's doing a little bit of luck. Right,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 13: What do the teams and grew around you do and
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 13: what does that pathway look like for Portugal moving through?
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 13: But if I was to say, outside of the big
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 13: teams that you mentioned, obviously France Bayan are the favorites,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 13: England sit right below Brazil, Argentina the obvious. But I
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 13: think Portugal is a team to watch Jackson.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Do you agree?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that's a good shout for me. Netherlands
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 11: is one that I'm absolutely watching. I think that's a
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 11: team on the com sort of. You can say that
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 11: in the previous couple World Cups they definitely had players
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 11: that were part of kind of the half of a
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 11: golden generation. But I think they have really good attacking threats.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 11: I think defensively they're stout. If I was looking at
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 11: the odds a little bit, I might put a few
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 11: shekels on the Netherlands.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: I like their makeup heaters.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Portugal is a good one.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: It's just I don't know about teams that haven't won
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: it before, but in terms of the people that are
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: not necessarily full on favorites, I'm looking at someone. A
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: lot of people are overlooking Brazil in this tournament, and
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: I realize they've won more than almost anyone else, and
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: it's weird just because it feels like they're usually just
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: completely star studded, but for whatever reason, they don't have
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: maybe as much of a roster around them of just
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: complete superstars. It's Neaymar's kind of last ride as well,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: he's dealing with an injury going into the tournament. You
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: have Venisius Junior, who's place for Real Madrid, but he
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: kind of had a down ish year with them. It's
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: just a lot of question marks. But I really like
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: what they did at their coach position with bringing in
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: Carlo Ancelotti, which is another reason I actually think England
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: Danny will love this one has a really good shout
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: as well, kind of in that kind of tier below
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: the absolute favorites in France and Spain. And then again,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: I just I think Argentina, also for whatever reason, is
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: getting a little bit overlooked. I don't think their squad
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: is as good as it was in twenty twenty two.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: But they're one of the most balanced teams overall, and
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: you can always count on them to have really good
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: chemistry and work really well together, and they're going to
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: want to do it in Messi's last really hurrah as well,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: So i'd give those kind of teams a good shout.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: All right, let's we'll go around the horn. Danny Jackson
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: andrews Hurst Jackson Feltz with us. Danny will start with
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: you realistic expectations for the United States of America. They're
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: in a Group D with Paraguay, Australia and Turkey. So Danny,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: what are realistic expectations. What would be a good result
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: of the tournament? What would be disastrous? I guess disastrous
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: not getting out of the group stage. But I'll let
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: you go first.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 7: You're right.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: I think you just hit the nail on the head.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 13: Disastrous would be losing that first game and then having
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 13: to go into the third game needing a result against
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 13: Turkey down in LA. I think the biggest challenge that
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 13: the US have is stability throughout their starting eleven, the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 13: US of ship goals. They're typically to win a competition
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 13: like this, you need to be good in the back
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 13: and they've only had three clean sheets and twenty games,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 13: and then can they be clinical in the attacking third.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: They don't have somebody who's going.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 13: To be out and out striker like Harry Kane is
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 13: or You'm Bappe or your messy who's gonna win you
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 13: games for nothing. I think round of sixteen is probably
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 13: where the US, where they're playing.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 4: Right now, could stand to go out. I think they'll
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: make it through to the round of sixteen.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 13: I think they will win their group just purely because
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 13: of home field advantage, and I think if they can
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 13: squeeze through the sixteen, I think eight is when you
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 13: start to meet the real big boys, and I think
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 13: that's would be a round of eight here in the
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 13: US would be a really big result and something to
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 13: really work from going into the next World Cup.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Jackson, I'll go to you and just remind it's amazing
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: the difference between the men and the women in our country.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: The women have been dominant at the world stage in
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: the international stage Olympics and or World Cup, but the
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: men obviously still trying to find their footing. So Jackson,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: same question to you.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a disappointment when the women don't win the
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 11: whole dang thing. And here it's it's it's for sure
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 11: what Danny said. It's a disappointment if you don't get
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 11: out of the group.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: For sure. I'll even take you know, a second in
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: the group. That's fine.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 11: But that next game, especially if you win the group,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 11: if you win the group, that round of thirty two
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 11: game will be down in San Francisco Levi Stadium, all right,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 11: San Francisco Stadium, which is in Santa Clair, and that
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 11: will be against a third place team from one of
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 11: four or five different groups. You gotta win that game,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 11: So that's right there. I think the realistic expectation is
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 11: you win that game, you get to the round of sixteen,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 11: which would then be back potentially in Seattle at Seattle
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 11: Stadium Lumenfield, And at that point, you know you're you're
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 11: going up against a good team like potentially a Belgium,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 11: and I'm not gonna hold against the US if they
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 11: go out in that regard against a good team. However,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 11: if we can dare to dream, like Danny said, quarterfinals
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 11: would be an absolute dream because then you are really,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 11: you know, deloping that intense soccer passion from a lot
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 11: of average Joe sports fans around the United States. You're
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 11: going up against likely at Spain, and nobody is going
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 11: to be mad at all if you lose two nothing
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 11: to Spain in a quarterfinal.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: And Yeah, I'm going to take a different kind of
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: route with this answer because I believe this is the
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: best US men's national team that we have ever had,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: and I believe they have the right manager at the
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: helm to get the most out of them at this tournament.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm not going to go on record and say
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: I expect them to make a quarterfinal or I expect
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: them to make a semifinal. I will say this feels
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: like in my lifetime, and I don't know about before
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: that ninety four there was on home soil as well.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: That was before I was born, so I can't really
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: speak to that. But in my lifetime, this feels like
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: the best chance to have a quote unquote magical run,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: and I feel like the stars are kind of aligning
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: with it being here, with having a relatively just with
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: how Jackson laid out the possibilities of who you might
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: be facing in the group stages, this could be a
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: special summer.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: Now you need to go out and do that.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: But I'm just gonna kind of open up the possibility
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: of a magical semifinal run for the US men's national team.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, I like it. I like those expectations. All right,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: let's wrap it up. Danny, who wins it?
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 13: I think it's gonna be a combination of France beIN
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 13: England and I have to go England. It's gonna be
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 13: Harry Kane.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 4: It's been sixty years of hurt for England since nineteen
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: sixty six. There's a famous song.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 13: From the nineteen ninety six Euros that we've talked about
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 13: thirty years of hurt.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: We've doubled that.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: I think it's about time. And of course it's a
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: two hundred.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 13: And fiftieth celebration for US independence. It wouldn't be a
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 13: stinger if England came and won the World Cup.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 11: I love it, Okay, Jackson, Wow, I feel like Danny's
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 11: gonna smack me over the head over when I say this,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 11: But it's not.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's coming home. I got it.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: Ian.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 11: I love the way Spain stacks up here. I think
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 11: they have probably for me the best midfield I think
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 11: in this tournament, with Rodri and Pedri, I think you
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 11: have really good attacking weapons with maybe the best player
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 11: in the world, Lamina mal Nico Williams on the other wing.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 11: You know, Andrews is right when we were talking about it.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 11: They certainly have some issues with the number nine forward position,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 11: but I think you have quality players who can step
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 11: up there and get a lot of help from the
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 11: rest of the team.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: I'm going Spain to win it all, Andrews.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: I know where your in laws are, so I'll be
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: careful how you after this.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of where I'm going. I think,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: not just because of my bias.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: I think they have the most kind of balanced roster
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: if you combine that with you know, kind of all
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: rolling in the same direction. They've done it before, so
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: the kind of pressure is off of them a little bit.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: They can just go out and play and they want
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: to get one more for the Goats last Hurrah and
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: Lionel Messi. So I think Argentina repeats as champions in
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: All right, either Andrews or Jackson tease our coverage. When
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: does it start? When can we hear you guys again?
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: Fire away?
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean it should be Jackson, but he pointed
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: to me because he's the first one that does it
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: tomorrow for Mexico versus South Africa, which is a repeat
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: of the twenty ten first game of that tournament.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: So, Jackson, what do you got coming up? I've seen
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: your extensive show sheet.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: For that one.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's about six pages long. I just sent it
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 11: to Danny as well. It's you know, me, I have
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 11: forty seven pages of notes on all of these teams
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 11: I got coming up.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: It's it's nuts.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 11: But yeah, eleven thirty nine fifty KJR AM, Me and
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 11: Danny will have pregame for the first game Mexico South Africa,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 11: and then Danny and I Alegan will have United States
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: Paraguay at five thirty pm on Friday.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Great stuff, Danny, thanks for popping on with us. I
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Anders and Jackson will look forward to the coverage.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be a really cool deal and I'm
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: glad we we jump knee deep into it with the
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: company as well. So, Danny, have you seen the studio yet?
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: You guys are in.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: Yep, I have. It's it's pretty exciting stuff. It's it's
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 4: gonna be it's gonna.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: Be a fun, fun six weeks took.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: It took a World Cup to get this thing all
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: dialed in.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: Man, hey, that's another tick. And now it's the biggest
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: tournament in sports.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: So just so you know, when when when iHeartMedia actually
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: fixes their studios not fixed.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like a palace in there. You guys
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: have like eighteen thousand monitors. It's like a you know
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: what it looks like. I walked in there. It felt
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: it felt like it looked like it looked like the
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: like a replay center for like the NFL or NHL
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: or something. Man, you guys got a zillion's.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: Terry Ryan's the master at his job, says.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's great. You guys will have fun, so look
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: forward to it. Thanks again. That's Danny, Jackson, anders Hurst
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: and Jackson Feltz. World Cup starts tomorrow. We'll take a break,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: come back check in on our text line. Next. I
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: have three point three kter FM.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 5: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: Huskies Cracking and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 5: Seattle's Closestn'll call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 5: ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 8: Ian and friends Chip here whenever something of a magnitude
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 8: of the Texas Tech thing happens. There's always the formulaic
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 8: argument sports are otherwise where you can say, well, this
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 8: other thing happened this other time, so you don't get
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 8: to be upset about this this time. But what I
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 8: also would like to leave room for a win is
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 8: enough enough? And I thought this was something we all
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 8: agreed on the betting thing. This is just another step
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 8: towards me stepping away from college football. I'll still follow
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 8: my team loosely, and I get that ratings are up,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 8: an intrigue is up, but I don't know, Man, this
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 8: does not seem sustainable.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: That's a great voice text talk back from Chip. Yeah,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: I listen, here's the problem. People are still gonna watch.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: And I'll just even use myself as an example. I mean,
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: how mad I was two years ago now, right in
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: August when three years ago I guess right, and three
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: years ago when we found out the PAC twelve dis yeah,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I'm done, just done whatever, whatever,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: I'm done, and no, I'll still I'm still into it now,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: I think, and Anders could attest to this last year
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: was for me and my team. Again, we're in a
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: different situation than a lot of people, a lot of fans.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: Last year, I didn't care like I watched games I
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: went to. I went to one game in Pullman.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: It's very ethic.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, it was just you're you're not You're playing
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: an exhibition schedule, right, you know. That's that's what it
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: was last year. Because unless they went twelve and oh,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: which would have included wins at ranked teams, three ranked
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: teams on the road back East, uh A, Mississippi State,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: James Madison and mississi And and Virginia, which actually were
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: all doable. If that would have happened, then okay, maybe
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: sneaking to the college football Playoff, that's what it would
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: have taken. And it wasn't gonna happen. I don't know,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: it's it's but we still watch. We still watch it
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: a very high level and a lot of people watching.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: But Chip is right, if we're being honest, this whole
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: situation with with with Brenda Sorosby, Yeah, everyone outside of Lubbock,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: Texas agrees what he did was wrong and and is
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: not and he shouldn't be playing college football. But here
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: we are. He's playing college football.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: Just another example of college football uniting the country ian somehow, somehow.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone's united against tex exactly. You know, when we
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: talked to Stewart earlier, though, I do really believe this.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: I think that in Stewart agreed and we may have
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: to pull out. Well, Friday will pull a little bit
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: of that outcause I think it's a really important thing
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: to talk about. There is a very strong anti Texas
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: tech sentiment that's going on, like a very strong one. Yeah,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: And part of it is is they're trying to buy
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: their way into the big boys club, and the big
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: boys don't like that. Now we're not talking though, about
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: a guy that's getting paid under the table or too
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: much money or whatever it would be. We're talking about
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: a guy that gambled, and you just can't not do that.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: You just can't. The entire integrity of the game is
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: called into question, and it's a I think worse than ever.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: It's just a bad precedent, right, just a really really
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: bad precedent to start as well. So all right, let's
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: go to the text line four nine four five one.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: On the same line, I'm gonna read the first one
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: here two six. It's amazing how cheating peds is okay,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: but betting is super bad.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: Well, peds are not okay, They're not. I'm not it's
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: it's not okay.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: Last time I checked, Barry Bonds is still not in
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: the Baseball Hall of Fame.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: And he's like, there's a rode right, right, I mean
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: Roger Clemons. So was Kirt Schilling part of that group too?
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: Uh no, he just he has some other stuff.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: He's got other issues. Yeah, but yeah, it's it's not okay.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: But betting is super bad. If you can't trust the
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: outcome of the game being legitimate, then it's no better
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: than w W E. I don't know what else to say.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: It's had this discussion with Joe before when we talk
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: about Hall of Fame voting. Right, yeah, it's there is
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: a difference. There is a precedent that's set. And while
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame is still very strict with baseball, this
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: is now on the ped s stuff. You still don't
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: see those guys in the Hall of Fame, but it's
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: even more strict on betting.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: And well four two five. The issue is not about
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: giving the young man a second chance or that he
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: made a mistake. It's about the integrity of the outcome.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: Of each game. How can we feel confident these games
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: are real games with real outcomes if you allow kids
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: to bet on their own games exactly. That's as simple
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: as that. And as Stewart pointed out, and we pointed
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: out even yesterday, every time this kid takes a snap
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: and something happens good, bad, or otherwise, it's going to
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: be scrutinized. Right did he have juice on that?
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 7: Did he have?
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I gave you the example yesterday. I talked
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: about it with Stewart today. It's third and goal from
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: the two yard line. He's an athletic quarterback. He can run.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he takes it, rolls out to
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: his right. He's got a running back that's wide open,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: walk in touchdown. Now, I'm gonna keep it myself and
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: dive in, maybe have to break a tackle and maybe
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: not even get in. Did he have money on himself
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown? That will be a question, Yes, that
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: will be a question. Right, four judges on the court
• 1:36:55

• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: The four judges you're referring to would be on the

  Speaker 1: appeals court, and that's not going to be seen until
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: or heard.
• 1:37:08

  Speaker 1: In it until February twenty twenty seven.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: Three Anders and Jackson. That's your all Star cast. Yeah,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: I know that's they must have had. You know, everyone
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: else must have been booked already.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these guys no soccer inside now, so shut up.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: Two So you're an idiot for sex and that two
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: number two on that Danny? And who else do you
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: guys have we got at.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: Danny Jackson of course voice the sounders, as you mentioned,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: Brad Evans, former US men's national team player.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: He's awesome. You may know a little bit, just a
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: We got Peter Fewing, Seattle soccer legend Peter Fewing, a
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: three time national champion coach. Uh and then of course
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: Steve Zachawani is just joining the analyst group as well,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: So we got I do believe we have an all
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: star cast here, I do, I really do.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe not myself and included, but you know, yeah.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: Right, I mean it's you guys are the host.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: What do you want?
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: You're the host. You're but you also know the sports
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: inside it out. Yeah, I put you both of your
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: knowledge in the sport against anybody. Let's see.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: Explain how it's fine for boxers to bet on themselves
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: but not athletes unless we are inferring that they know
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: the other team is taking a dive.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: You just didn't.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: You just shouldn't be able to bet against yourself, in
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: my opinion, can you.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: As a boxer, if you're boxing in a world title fight,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: can you can you bet on yourself? I am not
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: very well, let's just take a step back. Boxing has
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: long been criticized for its.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: Sketchiness, questionable out.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I would you know? And m M A
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: is in that same category.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: As obviously wrestling too.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's different. Governing bodies are a
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: little bit different. I mean, is the UFC really a
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: governing audio are they just kind of a business entity the.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: Texter might be referring to, like them signing a deal
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: where if they win, it's this amount of money, If
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: they lose, it's this amount of money.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: I could be completely wrong though.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: Oh let's see where the blank is vacate. She's on vacation.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's living up to her name.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: That is easy, but still tweeting and instagramming and stuff.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: She can't get away from it.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: We were done with Stuart today. We were talking to
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: him off the air and Stewart and us a bull
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: sets just can you just relax? Can you just enjoy
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: every whatever it is that she does to relax? And
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I don't know. I
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: mean relaxing for her, her is going home and cutting
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: up audio tape and making promos. For most of its
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: it's going and hitting a golf ball or having a
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: beer or playing She's different, so but she's on vacation.
• 1:39:52

• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: three o'clock, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 12: You know what, By the way, I didn't realize Carter
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 12: Hart sucks so bad? What's going on with that? Well,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 12: he's terrible.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 12: Is he the first goaltender ever to give up four
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 12: goals or more in the first four games of a
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 12: Stanley Cup final? And did Carolina not just hire a
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 12: guy off the street to do their game? Didn't work
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 12: their game?
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: Yesterday? Brought him Bussy? Now Bussy was great. He was
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: Bussy was great this year. There was people wondering why
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: that he didn't replace Frederick Ganison earlier. So he's fine.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: Carter hearts. There was a there was a hockey term
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: that when he was playing in the for Everett and
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: Seattle was Seattle was winning a title. I think those
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: barzels here and they ser Steve Conna walchuck as a coach.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: He says, you know what, you can shoot through him, right,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: which I think is a bad thing for a goalie,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: like like he's not the most athletic or you know
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: his I don't know, he's just he's fine. But the
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: pumpkin his has come is what's happened.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: Well here so here.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 12: So here's my question is why I bring it up
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 12: because a guy sent me a tweet that somebody had
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 12: posted the other day.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: And I've asked this before and you would know the
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: answer to this question, and it.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 12: Was it was like an AI whatever, I don't even
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 12: know what you call it now, photo shop, I mean,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 12: what do we call it?
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: Whatever? Ai a sumo wrestler in net. Yes, I'm like,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: why don't more teams just do that?
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: Well, you still got to come out and play the
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: puck behind the net, and there's there's I mean, if
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: you're just sitting, like, find a guy that could almost
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: cover the entire.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 12: Net just having sit there the whole game. No, obviously,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 12: obviously you're not going to have a guy that works
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 12: behind the net. But the trade off is that nothing
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 12: ever gets through, ever.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: More than likely until he falls down and the whole
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: upper half of the nets openings just roofing but nobody.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 12: But even if the guy falls over, he's falling into
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 12: a pile of fat and just it's just sitting there.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: By four by four by six is still you'd have
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: to be huge.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 12: How about godma wrestler, go find a Japanese suma.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 3: Wrest teach.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: Again, the problem is the problem is the puck stumped in.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: You gotta play the puck behind the net. You gotta
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: you still have to do some things besides just the
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: stand thereself.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting a good answer out of you. I
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 3: don't like that answer.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: Answer. I can give you a better one.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 3: There's like a minor league team somewhere that should just
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 3: try it.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: Well, Yeah, the Mighty Decks did way back in the day.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: Probably part of one of your movie references.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that I'm not movie.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 12: I'm talking about an accident and they have the fat
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 12: kid playing a goal in the movie. Yeah, and we're
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 12: talking about in reality, like a minor league team does
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 12: it say, Hey, we're gonna see if this works, we're
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 12: gonna be trend.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: You can talk to the captain of minor league hockey
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: in that his name is the captain Mike Benton Hill.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: He'll probably give you a better.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: Well, you know the reason why is because they have
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: to be athletic.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's not the answer I gave you. Is not
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: the worst answer you're gonna hear today in sports.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: What's the worst answer I'm gonna hear.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: Joey Maguire, Oh god, I saw it. Crazy quote. It's crazy.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: It's not murder, it's not beating somebody. Okay, buddy, Okay,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 12: I don't know, man, they just look worse and worse
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 12: by the day I saw Kirby Holcott's statement. He came
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 12: out with his the ad at Texas Tech, and they
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 12: just look like clowns. They look like absolute clowns. And
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 12: I was talking to my buddy Dave smoke who actually
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 12: does a radio show down there. I first met Dave
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 12: when Baylor played UB in the Alamo Bowl at eleven.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 12: That was the seventy five seventy RG three Keith Price game.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 12: That was just disgusting to watch. So I've known Smokey
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 12: for a long time, and I'm telling him it's like,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 12: do you guys realize like that you're about to be
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 12: known as the school that was the one team and
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 12: the one program that allowed a guy to gamble on
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 12: college football and get away with it like you're a trendsetter,
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 12: but for the exact wrong reason.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they are the I've never seen anything like
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: it where one team basically all three hundred and fifty
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: teams in Division one probably you can include Division two, FCS,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: Division three, Nai High School doesn't matter. Like everyone's against them, right,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: and they're just digging their heels.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: They're like all in on this thing.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 12: I love Kirby's statement, like this guy needs support, Okay,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 12: then give him support. Yes, there's nobody's saying you can't
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 12: give him support. I mean, you're making Kirby Holcot's probably
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 12: making what million five whatever, get them a therapist.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: Kirmire making eight nine problems whatever.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 12: Nobody's saying that you can't help the guy out if
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 12: he's got a real gambling problem. But if there's no
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 12: consequences to your actions, then what's the point in changing
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 12: your actions?
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: You think Patrick Mahomes, who just got a new deal
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: with the chief should go back to his alma mater player.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 3: I wonder I wonder what he pays for his treatment?
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 3: They should pay for his treatment.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: Has anybody as he's been working out, has anybody asked
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes what he thinks is going on there? About
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: what's going on in is all the money?
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 3: Do the Chiefs have mini camp this week?
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And he just signed that huge contract today, so
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's got a press conference coming. It'd be
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: interesting if somebody, somebody's got to ask him, Hey, what
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: do you think about what's going on at your all
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: the money. He's got to be disgusted.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 12: I'll text our guy Siren and I'll ask him if
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 12: anybody's got the stones to see where there in Kansas City,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 12: have the balls to ask Patrick Mahomes what he thinks
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 12: about what's going on in Texas Tech.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: We got to go because you got Mike Florio coming up.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: I bet we do.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 3: We have Mike Florio.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 12: He'll talk about that story from an NFL's perspective as well. Obviously,
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 12: two Petros in four he's got a thought or two
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 12: on this story, the Soresby deal. We also have a
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 12: Lebron James money quote that is going to irritate the
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 12: piss out of Petros at four o'clock. I cannot wait
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 12: to read this to him at four o'clock today, and
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 12: then Larry Stone will join us at five and talk
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 12: all things Seattle at five pm.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 3: Courtesy of the RAM love
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 11: It for the mild mannered and marginally objectionably Invernaz, this
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 11: is Pad all day, saying so long everyone,
