  Speaker 2: to keep people in coverage here today because this place
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: is gonna get swarmed in about an hour and a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: half from now.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I was surprised just driving down here but one
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: block around T Mobile Park and watching people walk in
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: with their jerseys and carrying flags, and here parade.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Doesn't start for five out.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe they're just coming to see us, Chuck, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: think is maybe?
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: What?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Probably, and they're gonna find out, Oh there's a parade
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: today too, Wow wanna win?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Oh well, hmmm, no wonder I had to park fifteen
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: blocks away? Yeah, yeah, but yes, uh, the people are
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: already here. I was surprised to see it as well.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, here's a frank confession for you. I mean,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I moved here right after the two Super Bowl appearances,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: like days after the two Super Bowl appearances from the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Lob teams. And I've been in this business for thirty
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: five years now. I did National sports radio for a while,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: but then and then I did Locals Sports and Phoenix
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: for a while, and yes, they won a championship, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I had all in that time in baseball, but I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: had already moved over to the comedy side of things
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: during that stretch of my career, and then came here.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And obviously it's been since those Lob teams that we've
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: had a parade type situation going on here. And so, yeah,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the Sounders have won, but nothing this grand, nothing on
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: this scale that we're going to see here today. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: thirty five years of doing this as a profession, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I have never been a part of a championship parade
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: until this morning.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Obviously, I haven't done it for as little time as
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I have waited. Eight nine years now. This is the
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: first and I don't know for sure if it gets
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: much bigger. It would be nice to see what happens
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: if the folks over there win one, what kind of
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: a championship parade. But still the NFL is king, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: you know, the Seahawks have been kind of chomptent the
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: bit to get back here. Hence the reason they made
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: all the changes they made with the head coach and
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: your quarterback changes and all this stuff was.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, eight and nine, nine and eight, that ain't good enough.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: We got to get back to being the team that
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: this city fell in love with, which was that legion
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: of boom and even before that Mike Holmgrins team that
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: kind of put them on the map first and foremost.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: But yeah, this is this is the.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Return to where most Seahawks fans want and expect their
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: team to be, and it culminated with a Lombardi Trophy
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: in today. Starting right out here, this place is going
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: to be an absolute madhouse.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's already cooking right now. I mean, I can't
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: even believe how many people are down here, how many
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: cars are down here. And we're still as you mentioned,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, we are four hours away from the ceremony
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: over at Looming Field, and then the parade doesn't start
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: until eleven o'clock. But people are getting their position ashually.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You were a part of the last Seahawks parade.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Correct, Yes, I was there. It was like eighteen degrees. Yeah, Yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it was awesome. There was I think like seven hundred
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand people that showed up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch was drinking fireball and champagne.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Throwing skittles at everybody.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: He did not throw skittles where I was at the parade,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but he was drinking. He was riding on the front
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of the duck for a part of the parade as well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: because they did duck.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Boats for the last one.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing, what sort of vehicle
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for this one, but it was the ride the duck
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: tour boats that they rode on last time.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Where were Where were you on the route?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I was closer to our station because I walked from here,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: so and I was trying to think about this actually yesterday,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: because I have even photos from that. And it was
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just I went straight up Western and then onto I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: think we did. I think it was First Avenue that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the parade route was on last time, and so I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was probably like first and.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Stuart maybe, and you.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Arrived on time for it. You got to see everything
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you needed to see, so you don't need to be
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: here at six am, because I think Bucky and I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: are both wondering, like, why are you here so early?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Is it for the parking well to make sure that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: they get the parking?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's for the parking. Yeah. I also it
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: was a busier drive in today too. I wonder iful
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of people were coming into work earlier because
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to have to deal with traffic from
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: people coming down.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: But yeah, it's probably parking.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I know that the doors at lumen Field open at
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: eight thirty. Yes, so people may be wanting to get
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: down there early because I don't know if it's assigned
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: seating or if it's just kind I would assume you
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have to have it. I assume it has to be
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: as signed seating.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Chaos without it, well, I think it's gonna be a
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: chaos no matter what. Well, it's just whether or not.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Controlled chaos is what they're seeking here the city of Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you're seeking here today. There's no stopping chaos. I mean
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: even Jimmy's. At first, the manager here at Jimmy's is like,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's gonna be crazy, And I said, are
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you going to have a couple customers today.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a madhouse down here.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I think the whole city is kind of on alert
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: with it. I've you know, just watching the news, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: see a bunch of people are ordering extra stuff because
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: they're imagining today is just gonna be mayhem. I mean
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: that I read something. It was kind of funny Washington
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: State Police put out said don't try to drive downtown.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Yes today, I mean it because I mean literally, the parade'
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: is gonna go right through the center of downtown starting
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: here and then going up towards where our studio's at.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: And there's no parking on the streets during any of
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: that stuff. It's gonna be basically all blocked off for
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: pedestrians because you're gonna have a million plus people in
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: the streets today. And they just said don't try. You
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: can try if you want, but you're gonna basically on
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: your way out, you're gonna be stuck in one way
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: detours and you can find yourself at the end of
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: the whole thing, you know, thinking you got down here early,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: because you got down here at eight and right all
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, the sun's gonna go down. You're gonna
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: get out and have seen nothing but detour signs.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And I have a feeling that people that are listening
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to us and probably have listened to us before and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: so probably have a little bit of a clue of
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: how this may or may not work, or are listening
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: now and taking notes and passing it along to you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: cousin Timmy, who's who they've decided to carpool down here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: They're they're absorbing this. But trust me, they're gonna be
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of Seattleites that are gonna get caught off
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: guard by this despite all the coverage that has taken place,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna be a lot of people swearing the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: sports world.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Today, Ah what is going on here?
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: That's going on?
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Calling Martha?
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: But what is going on? Is there something big going on?
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Is the president in town?
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: I'm just trying to go to work.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's stupid sports. Hey, that's one of those if
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: you know, I say it all the time. If you
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: don't like sports, you're weird and I don't like you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: And if you've been living under a rock and you
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: didn't know there was a parade today, well.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: That's a great thing, right now, that's the right, great thing,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: right now is that we can make fun of those people.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: We can even call them names. It's like making fun
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: of the Amish. They're not listening, no they yeah, they can't. Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And I got a bone to pick with.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: The aum radio crank like a radio? Could that work?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the people who aren't sports fans.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Well both actually yeah, a non sports fan and the homage.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I will.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Light up the Amish at any given notice. I got
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a bone to pick with them to begin with. Real. Yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And so the fact that they can't hear us, I mean,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you know, you make fun of your friends behind their backs.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You can really just unleash on the Amish. Take that Amish. Yeah.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: If a tree, if an insult falls in the forest
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and you're not here to hear it because you don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: believe in electricity, what are you gonna do about it?
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Nothing?
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: I did not see us making fun of the Omis
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: every pread.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, why not.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You gotta light that firecraft. You got to get people
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: in the right mood around here. So well, uh, we'll see,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: we'll see that. Nobody's off the table. I mean, we're
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: champions today. Champions get the mock others. That's what I've
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: come to under Yeah. Yeah, when you're on top, don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you get to make fun of everybody beneath you?
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: You definitely get to look down your nose, right.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talk shows. I mean, we're sort of been
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: We're held responsible for this, so not only is it
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: okay to do it, it's an expectation for us to encourage.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting because I've gone on the radio as
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: a guest the last couple of days in a couple
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of different markets and with two of my best friends
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: in the world, Siren Petro, who does radio out of
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, and then last night I went on in
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Vegas with my friend Steve Cofield, who you guys know
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: we've had on before in the past, and there really
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: was this sense even though these are tremendous friends of mine,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: but also you know, sports radio people, competitive people, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: there really was this sense of sort of tearing apart
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: what the Seahawks have accomplished this. You know, Petro threw
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: at me because he went he's in Kansas City and
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: they've won three of these. And I told you yesterday
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: there was sort of this era of do your guys
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: really think so now you're the latest chumps that think
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: you're gonna go on a dynastic run like we did,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Like this is easy, you know that sort of tone.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: And meanwhile, my friend Steve I went on with him
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: last night and the questions were about losing Kubiak and
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: how devastating that's going to be to the team because
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: they're getting Kubiak in Las Vegas. And my reaction to
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that was, we don't want to lose Kobiak. I mean,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: we'd like to keep him. He created the best offense
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: this organization statistically has ever had. And so yeah, he
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: was an asset and he's gonna be missed by a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: lot of people in that locker room. But you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: coming off a world championship, third youngest team in the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: National Football League, fourth largest cap space in the NFL,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: a thirty eight year old head coach who hasn't missed
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: it since coming here, an executive who is on fire
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: right now, a young corps that's just getting better, a
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: financially controllable quarterback who's still in his twenties, and coming
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: off a championship season. Of all the things that we
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: could have lost from this team, we didn't want to
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: lose Kubiak, But I think we're gonna be okay, but
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: they acted as if, oh, well now the devis now
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the teardown begins. Well, you know, there are other coordinators
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: out there, and I'm not saying he's easily replaceable, but
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I'd much rather lose a Kubiak than I would a
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: JSN or have to try to solve our quarterback situation,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: or if Mike McDonald left us.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: All right, now, ask me how I'm feeling.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, the teardown has begun in other markets, they
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: don't want to think about the sea. We're gonna be
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: on top of the football world here today in Seattle
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: and every and just know that every other fan base
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: is sitting there telling sharing about how they're gonna fall apart.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: That's that's the conversation that they're having in every other city.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Well, a bit silly to think that there's any sort
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: of tear down. Yeah, there's when you win, you then
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: you had success, and you had success on both sides
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: of the ball, and usually that means that people come
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: and want to poach the guys that got you there. Yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: that's exactly what happened with Clint Kubiak.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: I think he is replaceable.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I mean that, you know, there's there's the idea of,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: you know, this year's Detroit Lions after Ben Johnson's gone.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Klint Kubiak is Ben Johnson. He
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: wasn't heralded the same as Ben Johnson had been prior
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: to him taking the Chicago Bears job. You know, he
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: was kind of looked at as the next McVeigh or Shanahan,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: like this guy's got the next new wrinkle offensively, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: then the Detroit Lions didn't look the same this year.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: So there's a possibility of it. I don't feel like it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I do feel like if you have a young quarterback
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: or a less expensive quarterback, which Sam Ard is on
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the less expensive, he's not young, which I think showed
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: up in the Super Bowl. You didn't have the second
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: year guy that looked like the move game was removing
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: real fast. He look like a veteran, but you're not
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: paying him sixty million dollars like Dak Prescott. So the
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: idea of how can you still have this team stacked
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: full of talent, I think it starts and pretty much
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: stops with your young nucleus is still all under contract.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, even worry just has become an absolute weapon.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: In his first year, he hadn't gone anywhere, and you're
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: not having to re up him to any new money.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Devin Witherspoon is still in that category. You're gonna have
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: to start thinking about when do you want to lock
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: him up?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Although in the first year they are eligible to be
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: locked up, right, and I don't think they're gonna wait
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: very long. Maybe they will, they've got another year to wait,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: but my guess is that they're going to try to
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: keep those guys.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm with you, one hundred percent.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: It feels like the I know they're going to try
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: to keep them, but I mean try to lock them
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: up right sooner than their extension.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, exactly, sooner than later. They're going to lock
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: up the guys that they need to. But for the
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: most part, it's not like you're like, Wow, yeah, you
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: won a Super Bowl and now what are you gonna do?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: You have five guys that are core players that are
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: all free agents, and how you can't possibly keep them all?
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: So we would be having that discussion, who are you
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: gonna keep ken Walker? I mean, ken Walker is the
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: one main piece that you're like, he may or may
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: not be here next year. I mean, there's a really
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: good chance that he's not if he goes out and
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: gets better money somewhere else.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: So other than that, you're like, yeah, kind of running
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: it all back.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: And it sounds like they're wanting to hire from within
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: so they can keep the continuity of of you know what,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: whoever's learned under Clint Kubiak. It's just there's gonna be
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: a ripple effect of Clint Kubiak. But I don't think
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: the ripples are gonna extend to where all of a
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: sudden we're looking at Wow. I didn't think we'd have
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: to rebuild after one Super Bowl.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Every team faces the ripples in the offseason every champion.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: It's even harder for a champion. But in terms of
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: most champions and who has to be paid and what
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: has to be paid and you're over the salary usually
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: it's you're over the salary cap, and who were we
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: gonna let go from the championship team. For this team
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to have kind of shocked the NFL world by getting
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: better all season long, winning the championship and doing it
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: in kind of dominant fashion in two of the three games,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: certainly dominant fashion and two of the three games, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: to sit there and like, yeah, we got seventy five
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: million dollars in cap space.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Too, oh, by the way, to work with.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: But they they in terms of Super Bowl champions they're
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: probably in the best position in a long time to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: try to keep something special going here. Not saying it's
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: gonna happen hard enough to win one, much less multiple
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: ones than any championship window, but they are certainly in
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: great position. And I guess this is a long way
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: of me saying we can look down at all the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: other NFL cities because believe me, all the other NFL
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: cities today they're gonna see clips of the parade and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: they're gonna hope that like JSN falls off a wagon
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, and and lands on his shoulder. I mean,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: they're sitting there waiting for every opportunity to pick this
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: team apart to try to diminish it and try to
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: convince themselves that this team's not gonna be as good
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: next year. Uh, and they're going to be better. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: we are ripe for toppling because log on, all these
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: people that have shown up for this parade and they
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: have no idea how difficult it is to repeat as
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: world champions and they're gonna see, they're gonna see there's
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: no way they're gonna do it again next year. There's
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: a chance we might do it again next year.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Well, there's a lot of times I think after you
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: win a championship, where you are on the mountaintop, right,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: and so you get to look down on everybody and
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: you look at it and you go, Okay, what is
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the problem today? Yeah, what's the probability of getting back
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: to this place? There's not a ton of times that
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: you that I have thought that that team has a
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: better chance than what it feels like with the Seahawks.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks feel like they're right there now. The Kubiak
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: ripple is going to be something, but I don't know
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: necessarily that it's going to be something that's debilitating. Could
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: just be okay, And you got to do a bunch.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: Of extra work in the off season, and you got
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: to show up ots and.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: You got to not let uh, don't get comfortable and
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: complacent because you won one. If you want to get
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: back there, because you can have a target on your back,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: there's no doubt about that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: To me, it just feels like the youth of this team.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: If there's one thing that the personality that Mike McDonald,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: and it trickles down through the rest of the team,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: and it's not just him, it's I think you have
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: a bunch of ultra competitors. I was hearing Hugh Millan
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: talk about Spoon and talking about that he's like a
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: meta competitor, Like it's just like outside of what the
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: normous and Illinois I think is that, yeah, probably probably.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: What it is usually a large factor usually.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Where the greatest of the greats come from, for sure,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: and so I think all that stuff, it feels to
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: me like this team, the personalities us covering this team,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: which you know, folks from Kansas City and other places
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: that just watch them and they don't follow them the
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: way that we do, they're not going to recognize that.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: This team feel like not only.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Does it feel closer knit than most teams do, they
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: also feel like they're gonna have a little bit of
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: that edge. I no, we really want to be it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Everybody wants to be a dynasty. But there's a difference
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: between oh yeah, I think we're really good. We're gonna
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: come back and do this again, versus no, we're gonna
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: work like we want.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: To prove it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: And while they don't have some lingering effects of the
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: legion of boom days not becoming dynastic, there still is
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: a part of them that knows the history.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're like, we can do it. Well, watch
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: we'll do it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: It just feels it does feel like a team that
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: gets it. And I don't think there are a lot
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: of professional teams that do get it, but they do
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: feel like one that gets it. If ever, I've seen
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: one since I came to town that seemed like, yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: we kind of get what it takes.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: It seems to be this one.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: But we'll worry about next year, you know, way off
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: in the distance, like tomorrow's show, we'll start worrying about
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: next year. Today is all about celebrating this team in
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five leading into twenty twenty six, where the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl title was claimed on the rival territory, on
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: rival soil in Santa Clara, California. And now they returned
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: to Seattle to millions that could show up here today.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: And so that's our focus on today's parade.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Day.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Let's find out what's on tap?
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, what what's on TEP.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: What's on TEP?
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: So complete parade coverage and Ian Farness is going to
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: lead it up at ten o'clock. We made a little
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: switcher rou with him and Mark so that the lifelong
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Seahawk fan in longtime Seattle Seahawk reporter slash talk show
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: host could be at the controls. Smart move I think
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: by Rich Moore there. So Ian's gonna lead up our
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: coverage starting at ten o'clock, and I think Ashley's gonna
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: be out in the field, which is exciting. And then
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: of course David Softy Maller and of all the talents
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: that he has, this might be his best one him
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: covering a parade route. He was legendary, you know, thirteen
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: years ago, Get Ready or twelve years ago, Get Ready,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: because he's back on the job this year, and so
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: we got Jackson Feltz is gonna be on the route.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a special special day as far
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: as this show will be done as the luminfield ceremony begins.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna get you ready for it, and I
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: can't think of a better way to get you ready
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: for it than to just purely focus today on this
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: season We're gonna do a sea Hawks season in review,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: all Seahawks topics. How did we go from a team
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that Vegas said was only going to win eight and
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: a half games this year to World champions So we're
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: going to detail all the crucial decisions and the crucial
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: moments during our four hours together. Some other headlines to
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: provide here in our What's on Tap segment. Clint Kubiak

• 22:39
  Speaker 2: if we're going to do a Seahawks season in review.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I think it starts with that decision at quarterback that
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: worked out so nicely for the Seattle Seahawks. We talked
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Sam next on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM.
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: Big Bell brought to you by Coppola Diamond Collection Proseco

  Speaker 10: And then we'll seal.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: And it seems right now for the Seahawks in Super
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: Bowl sixty.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Best foot one on the call, Kevin Harlan, the Seahawks
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: are Super Bowl champions, and we've decided.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: At KJR to throw a parade here today.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: And so we are in the midst of it all.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got people already lined up to enter
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the bar here at Jimmy's on are already eating breakfast

• 24:11
  Speaker 2: already here and frenzied and ready to go. People are
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: ready to act like a champion. And that's how it works.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Once you've won a super Bowl championship, everyone's a champion.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: So go ahead and breathe that championship air, eat that
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: championship breakfast, and go ahead and have yourself an early
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: championship bloody Mary.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie there.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of times we're down here and I
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: don't see I don't see the same type of happiness
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: walking by uh huh.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: I mean there's the shoulders are back, the chest is out.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, people are walking tall out there today. Shat
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: you do it?
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: See?
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: And I am loving all the old school and some
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: of the old the new alternative duck jerseys those are beautiful.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: What I'm seeing a lot less of one of those
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: damn truce color is wonderful. I mean the best looking
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: ones are the retro ones. There's a canine guy walking
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: by right now.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: He's walking like an MVP.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Just look at him. Yeah, he look like an MVP,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: A champion. He's happy to be out of school exactly.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: And Greg Bell is here for two segments today. Why
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: because he's a champion and joins us right here on
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: the set.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I had nothing to do with this. Yeah, you
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: know what you did. Yeah you did, Greg.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Take a little credit all those articles you wrote like
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: a champion that year, I wrote.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: A fiendish champion.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Uh. Well, we were just sort of doing not just
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: a setup of the parade, but also a bit of
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: a season in review. And since we get here for
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: two segments, I want you to kind of incorporate you
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: into that process. I had scheduled here to talk about
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: the offensive line. I did just a quick little bit
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: of research this morning. You know that eight of the
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: last ten years the Seahawk quarterback has been sacked in
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: the top four most times in the National Football League,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: and eight of the lastlast ten years the top three
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: the Gino Smith and Russell Wilson. This year, Sam Darnold
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: wasn't even in the top half, even though he played
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: every game for this football team. They have tried and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: tried and tried to fix this offensive line. I'll ask you,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: did Gray's Abel and Mike Ben or Mike Benton John
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Benton make that big of a difference in this offensive
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: line or was it more Kubiak and Donald being able
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the football.
• 26:27
  Speaker 11: No, it was John Benton, Okay and Steve Hutchinson recommending
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: that they draft Grays Abel Okay and John Benton deciding
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: that Jalensondel, the athletic, faster center would be the center,
• 26:38
  Speaker 11: and Abe.
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: Lucas being healthier. That was a big difference.
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: That's Biken tackles John Benton. If I could say one
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: move they must make this offseason to get anywhere close
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: to back to the Super Bowl. John Benton as the
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: offensive line coach. The guys told me through the sea
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: in the offensive lineman how clear.
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: His coaching is. Last year, Abe Lucas said it perfectly.
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: Last year they were trying to be masters of everything,
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: a little bit of inside zone, a little bit outside zone,
• 27:10
  Speaker 11: gap pull man, drive blocking.
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: This year they were masters of one.
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: John Benton got there and Klink Kubiak got there, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: they said We're going to do outside zone. Every game
• 27:21
  Speaker 11: plan every week is gonna start with outside zone. We'll
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: have variations off of that outside zone. Outside. This is
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: what you need to be good at. Outside zone. And
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: they taught the techniques of outside zone over and over
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: again from May through August, over and over outside and
• 27:35
  Speaker 11: here the steps, here the angles, and Lucas said it
• 27:39
  Speaker 11: was so refreshing to just learn one thing, and instead
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: of having to be masters of everything, he masters of
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: one thing.
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: And they it clicked immediately.
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: Now it didn't click in results in the offense immediately.
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: I mean they were bottom five in the league and
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: yards per carry into December, even though they were number
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: one at the time in rush attempts percentage of rush plays.
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: So they got it in December when they had to.
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: And once they got the run game producing like they
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: had designed it to, that's when they took off as
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: a team, because then he could play to his defense.
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: You saw it again in the Super Bowl.
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: Fourth and four near midfield, wasn't even a thought they
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: would go for it. Let Dixon punt yeah down him
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: at the two yard line and the Patriots are not
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: driving the field to score. We'll get the ball back
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: in scoring positions and score ourselves. The next time, they
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: did the same thing in Week eighteen to win the
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: division in Santa Clara, a thirteen to three game. The
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: only touchdown the game happened after McDonald played to his defense,
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: punted that forty nine ers onto their goal line, got
• 28:40
  Speaker 11: a three and out that had a drift start to
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: plus thirty five, and scored the only touchdown the game.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: All of that because the run game finally started. And
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: once the Seahawks run game started to get him from
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: the twenty to the fifty and Dixon could punt teams
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: into a corner against their own goal line, the Seahawks
• 28:55
  Speaker 11: defense won games.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: The run game.
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: John Benton is absolutely vital to what they did this year.
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: Even if now the Kubiak has gone, Benton's still there.
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: And what I talked to Benton, he's I'm a Seahawk, dammit.
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: I talked to a few people on Monday after the
• 29:13
  Speaker 11: game that told me they don't think there's gonna be
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: much staff turnover.
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: Beyond Kubiak leaving.
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: And the feeling is we're not letting Kubiak show up
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: for just one year, leave and then take all the
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: guys with him. After just being here for one season.
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: He needed to pay a little more of a penance
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: than one season, a super Bowl champion season to take
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: all our assistance. So I don't expect John Benton to leave.
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: I don't expect Andrew Jenoko, the quarterback coach, to leave.
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: But they I am. I haven't been told they're gonna
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: hire from within on the offensive coordinator. That could be
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: Jake Pets. That could be Andrew Janoko. There are a
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: couple others on the staff that could be. Jake Pets
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: has some minimal play calling experience. But John Benton, the
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: offensive line, I would point to him and Kubiak.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: Is the reasons for that understandably.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: So I mean, I'll just speak for my I don't
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: know if he's unsung or if it's just I didn't
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: give enough credit where credit is due. I mean, Abe
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Lucas being back and being healthy and playing every single game,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure every single snap that he could have played,
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: it seems like a gigantic boost for this offensive. I mean,
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Gray's abel obviously kind of locked up the interior, him
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: and Sundell together ended up helping out. But to me,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, was Abe Lucas kind of an unsung star
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: for this season.
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he was bucky because this was the first time
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: in four years that he didn't play broken. He played
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: on basically one good leg his first three NFL seasons,
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: had what Pete Carroll called a chronic knie issue ever
• 30:37
  Speaker 11: since Washington State. And then he got it fixed. It
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: took twelve months.
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: He played. Last year, we had a nine month.
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: Mark when he wasn't nearly ready to play fully, and
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: then this year he had. Before this season, he had
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: his first full offseason healthy and it made all the difference.
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: If your edge guys are hurting on one leg. Look
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: at the Look at the Patriots left tackle in the
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: Super Bowl. He played on a bad left knee. You
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: have one leg and trying to hold an edge, you're
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: in trouble. And that was Abe Lucas for three years
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: and he was healthy fully this year. They rewarded him
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: with the extension. So now he and the left tackle
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: Charles Cross together for at least three years. Look at
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: the offensive line guys. Charles Cross has signed nicked out
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: one more years. Gray's Able's one year into a four
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: year rookie deal. Jamn Sondell is on an undrafted rookie
• 31:23
  Speaker 11: contract at bargain basement price, and you're under club control
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: for two more years and your right guard is your
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: one problem issue that you might address. Anthony Bradford, your
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: right tackles under contract for three more years after this one.
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: They have three years of continuity for sure, with the
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: opportunity both in salary, cap space and draft to improve
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: the right guard position.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Thirty seconds. How special is Gray's abel?
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: He's the best rookie offensive lineman I've covered since Steve Hutchinson.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: He is so mature, not just off the field, but
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: football wise. He trash talk nine year All Pro Pro
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: Bowl guys defensive tackles. He is so technically sound. He
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: gave up two sacks all year. Sam Donald threw the
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: ball what four hundred times? He gave up two sacks
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: and four hundred and they were both in one game
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: against the Rams. He was better than they thought he
• 32:20
  Speaker 11: was gonna be and that made the offensive line better.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Greg bell Our Seahawks Insider, excellent coverage all year long
• 32:26

  Speaker 2: a great run it's been with you. And I think
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: you coming on our show every Wednesday at eight o'clock
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: is what won the Seahawks the Super Bowl this year.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: So congratulations to you. You're a champion today.
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: Oh yeah, no doubt. It wasn't blocking and tackling and
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: interceptions and fum will recovery, none of that, None of that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: What did you think of that game on Sunday? What
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: did you think of that defensive performance on Sunday?
• 35:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that was one of the most dominant defensive performances
• 35:55
  Speaker 12: in Super Bowl history. It really was. And then you know, quietly,
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: it's one of the best special teams performances in NFL history.
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: So it's it was an incredible win. I think the
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: future is bright. You know, from the moment that the
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: game was over, everyone was talking about getting the Lombardi
• 36:11
  Speaker 12: back to Seattle and what that parade was going to
• 36:14
  Speaker 12: be like, what it was going to be like with
• 36:15
  Speaker 12: the twelves, the energy trying to cancel work, cancel school.
• 36:20
  Speaker 12: You know, the campaign started right after the game.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: So are you on team take your kids out of
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: school or would you be? Like, No, education is really important.
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: Education is important. It's incredibly important. That's why you This
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: is a teachable moment. This is a learning moment. You know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: like there's there's a lot you can learn from this,
• 36:41
  Speaker 12: some good and some bad. I would even say there's
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: gonna be some uh, but but no, this is uh,
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: this is special. And you know, I grew up in
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: Boston and there's been a lot of championship parades there
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: and stuff like that, but these are these are lasting
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: memories for parents and kids and also for friends and
• 36:56
  Speaker 12: and for a city, and so uh so I fired
• 36:59
  Speaker 12: up to be there. If you guys, sounds like you're
• 37:01
  Speaker 12: at the beginning of the parade. I'll be down there
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: at loom And Field. I'm going to be riding the
• 37:06
  Speaker 12: I'm hoping to get on the Legends float. I know
• 37:08
  Speaker 12: Jim Zorn's riding his bike down because he's going to
• 37:11
  Speaker 12: ride home from the Space Needle back to Mercer Island.
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: I'm actually going to be doing something with with bud light.
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: At the end of the thing. I'm gonna be guest
• 37:21
  Speaker 12: bartending somewhere in Lower Queen Anne. So I'm excited for that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: So it should be just an epic day. It should
• 37:28
  Speaker 12: be an epic day, and I'm really looking forward to it.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Can't we tell people which bar?
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: Do you?
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Is?
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: This supposed to be a surprise?
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: I don't, Yeah, I don't know what should I say?
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: I don't know? Should I say? I guess? Uh, yeah,
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: I'm gonna.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Be an make you uncomfortable.
• 37:45
  Speaker 12: Well, I'm gonna be you know, I'm gonna be at
• 37:47
  Speaker 12: Ausye's in Lower Queen Anne, right near the Space Needle,
• 37:51
  Speaker 12: right near the end. I got to figure out my
• 37:53
  Speaker 12: logistics how I'm going to get off the float from
• 37:56
  Speaker 12: the Space Needle over to Ozzie's and then should be
• 37:59
  Speaker 12: a time. But Budke's doing like commemorative bottles and kegs
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: and packaging and all that kind of stuff for Seahawk fans,
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: and you know, so it should be. It should be
• 38:11
  Speaker 12: pretty cool. I think taking pictures meeting people having a
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: good time got to be twenty one and over, obviously,
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: but it should be. It should be blast.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck is with us, number eight of eight. He's
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: been joining us throughout the postseason Wednesdays at eight o'clock.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: It's been spectacular to have them on the show weekly.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: And so look, I mean, you've already kind of touched
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: upon it. I know how hard it is. You know
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: how hard it is a lot more than we do
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: to win a championship, and you came up a little
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: bit short, which proves how difficult it is to win
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: a championship in this league, much less win two or
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: possibly turn it into something that they've experienced in New England.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: But the way that this team is set up right now,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you expect that this won't be the
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: last parade that will we'll see in Seattle over the
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: next five six years.
• 39:03
  Speaker 12: Well, the Arrow is definitely trending up. We've got a
• 39:05
  Speaker 12: great head coach, a great GM, and we've got the
• 39:07
  Speaker 12: quarterback lockdown. You know when you get that, tryad those
• 39:11
  Speaker 12: three that's really important. Now they will have to replace
• 39:14
  Speaker 12: Clint Kubiak, and it'll be interesting to see who goes
• 39:17
  Speaker 12: with him on the coaching staff or if he grabs
• 39:19
  Speaker 12: anybody in free agency. But but no, this this team
• 39:22
  Speaker 12: absolutely is set up to have a lot of success.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 39:26
  Speaker 12: Listen, the Rams are going to be who the Rams
• 39:28
  Speaker 12: were this year. They're back, Stafford's back, They've got I
• 39:32
  Speaker 12: think they have two first round draft picks. So it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 12: not going to be easy. But I've got a full
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: confidence in this group and we should be really excited
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: about it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: How big of an issue is it when your offensive
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: coordinator goes out? I hear Greg Bell is kind of
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: not necessarily reporting, but he thinks from what he's hearing
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: that there's a good chance that they might promote from
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: within to keep some of the continuity. So how important
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: is that and how big of a step back the
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: team take initially just in trying to replace Klint Kubiak.
• 40:04
  Speaker 12: Well, Klink Kubiak an incredible coach. I think everyone will
• 40:07
  Speaker 12: tell you that there's the reason that Tom Brady could
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: have picked anybody to be the new Raiders head coach,
• 40:11
  Speaker 12: and he picked Clint Kubiak. Those are big shoes to fill.
• 40:14
  Speaker 12: I mean, you saw what happened to the Detroit Lions
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: when they lost Van Johnson all of a sudden, the
• 40:18
  Speaker 12: Bears are good and Detroit faltered and they were nowhere
• 40:22
  Speaker 12: near as good. So it will be a challenge. Getting
• 40:24
  Speaker 12: the right people in charge on the offensive side of
• 40:27
  Speaker 12: the ball will be a thing. But I kind of
• 40:29
  Speaker 12: think of it, you know, like in John we trust
• 40:32
  Speaker 12: and Mike McDonald we trust, and I think that's I
• 40:35
  Speaker 12: think that's kind of the you know what everybody feels
• 40:39
  Speaker 12: good about in this kind of a situation.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Have you ever bartended before and what is your go
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: to drink that you make?
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: I bartended in New York City at a Seahawks bar
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: with a bunch of people from London. It's like an
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: international Seahawks bar in London, and they taught me how
• 40:59
  Speaker 12: to do. I usually do a Guinness or a bud
• 41:02
  Speaker 12: light with a Guinness which some people use a bud
• 41:04
  Speaker 12: light and a harp or sorry, a Guinness and a
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: harp called a black and a black and tan. But uh,
• 41:10
  Speaker 12: you know I'm limited in the skills, but I'm like coachable.
• 41:14
  Speaker 12: Just if you don't ask if Mike Homgrean would say,
• 41:16
  Speaker 12: maybe not coachable, but think I'm coachable. But we'll see,
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: we'll see.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I'mologist, he pours a Guinness, a real mixologist.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: I was picturing you Tom Cruise cocktail, spitting things around,
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: pouring behind your back.
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: You're saying that's not the case.
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: No, I'm saying not yet. I'm not saying no, I'm
• 41:35
  Speaker 12: saying not yet.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Ye give that chance, Bucky, Yeah, give him a shot.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck with us here on chalking back. Let's talk
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: about this quarterback, Sam Donald. I mean, it's very clear
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: to us in Seattle that there's just gonna be a
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: conversation about Sam Donald no matter what he does, that
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: people are just gonna wait for him to fail nationally. So,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: now that you've watched him quarterback this team become a champion,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: what do you say to all of the critics that
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: will not relent on Sam Donald?
• 42:06
  Speaker 12: I say, how you like them apples? And he gets
• 42:08
  Speaker 12: the Libardi let's go. I mean that's what I got
• 42:10
  Speaker 12: to say.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, there is people though, that are
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: going to I mean, I get that there's a lot
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: of people that could be quarterback with that defense with
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: this team and possibly have still got to where this
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: team got.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: But I don't think that they won in spite of
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: Sam Darnald.
• 42:27
  Speaker 12: You don't, right, No, not at all. I mean, he
• 42:30
  Speaker 12: went toe to toe with Matthew Stafford in the NFT
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: Championship game, had like the fourth best NFC Championship game
• 42:36
  Speaker 12: of any quarterback of all time in that game, so
• 42:39
  Speaker 12: you know he did that. Now, I also would say
• 42:41
  Speaker 12: that he was smart with the football and it was
• 42:44
  Speaker 12: historic how the Seahawks had no interceptions and no fumbles
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: the entire playoff run. That's one of the major reasons
• 42:50
  Speaker 12: that they won. You let your punter do his thing.
• 42:53
  Speaker 12: You let your defense to defend the long the long
• 42:56
  Speaker 12: field like that's really great. And even on his near
• 42:59
  Speaker 12: missus long style balls, there's a saying in quarterback rooms,
• 43:03
  Speaker 12: you know, basically, this throw is an US or Nobody throw.
• 43:06
  Speaker 12: It's either US or nobody, and you know, not turning
• 43:10
  Speaker 12: the ball over is an important part of it. And
• 43:12
  Speaker 12: that's how Mike McDonald chose to get this championship he
• 43:16
  Speaker 12: chose to make the opposing offense go the long, hard
• 43:19
  Speaker 12: way and prioritizing not turning the ball over, and that
• 43:23
  Speaker 12: was something we've improved on and it's, quite honestly, the
• 43:26
  Speaker 12: main reason that we're Super Bowl champs now. So I know,
• 43:29
  Speaker 12: I give him a lot of credit. I thought he
• 43:31
  Speaker 12: was in command of command of the games, and it
• 43:33
  Speaker 12: wasn't about throwing for a bunch of yards. It was
• 43:36
  Speaker 12: about getting victories.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: You know, you add to one of the great offensive
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: mines in NFL history as your head coach in Mike Holmger,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: and I would imagine most quarterbacks would like a head
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: coach that was offensive minded.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: But imagine you're.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald and you're starting this journey with Mike McDonald.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: What kind of an endious position is he in to have,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: this thirty eight year old head coach calling the shots huge?
• 44:00
  Speaker 12: But I also would say that I think I think
• 44:02
  Speaker 12: Sam Arnold ended up choosing Seattle in large part because
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: Clint Kubiak was the offensive coordinator. There's a lot of
• 44:09
  Speaker 12: quarterbacks out there that love these Mike Shanahan disciples, these
• 44:14
  Speaker 12: kind of these Sean mcvay's Kyle Shanahan like that kind
• 44:18
  Speaker 12: of a coach, So you know, I do think that
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: that's an important, important part of it. Now Sam's no
• 44:24
  Speaker 12: longer a young player, so he's more of a veteran
• 44:26
  Speaker 12: player who could be paired with maybe a younger or newer, fresher,
• 44:31
  Speaker 12: greener type guy that's in that same Shanahan disciple kind
• 44:35
  Speaker 12: of offense. And then obviously Mike McDonald I think has
• 44:39
  Speaker 12: developed into a guy that's not just a defensive coach.
• 44:42
  Speaker 12: He's a culture center, a vision setter, and is obviously
• 44:46
  Speaker 12: very smart when it comes to both sides of the ball.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Matt, I mean, during that game, you know, ken Walker
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: ends up getting the MVP and kudos dam he ran
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: the ball well, and it did set it up to
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: where you could lean on that and the defense and
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: you didn't have to put the ball in danger.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: A whole heck of a lot of it, and it
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: was quite dominant.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: If you had an MVP vote, would it have went
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: to him or would you have maybe given it to
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: one of those defensive guys the way that they played.
• 45:12
  Speaker 12: Well, that's the really cool thing about the game is
• 45:14
  Speaker 12: there were a lot of candidates. I mean, Jason Myers
• 45:16
  Speaker 12: set a Super Bowl record as a field goal kicker.
• 45:20
  Speaker 12: You know, I thought our punt game was incredible, but
• 45:23
  Speaker 12: there was a part of me for a large part
• 45:24
  Speaker 12: of the game that thought, are we going to have
• 45:26
  Speaker 12: like a like a Micah Ruzioni moment where the whole
• 45:29
  Speaker 12: defense gets up there as the MVP, you know, like
• 45:32
  Speaker 12: it was. It was one of those you know, we
• 45:34
  Speaker 12: had a couple of one guy with two sacks, another
• 45:37
  Speaker 12: guy with the first ever sacked. Devin Witherspoon caused this,
• 45:40
  Speaker 12: you get the kind of the sack fumble that turned
• 45:42
  Speaker 12: into what they call the pick six. I mean, there
• 45:44
  Speaker 12: were some great efforts as a whole, and I just
• 45:48
  Speaker 12: think that that's one of the best things you can
• 45:49
  Speaker 12: say about this team. There were multiple people that could
• 45:52
  Speaker 12: have been, you know, considered for the MVP. I mean,
• 45:55
  Speaker 12: Barner started out as a really strong game and then
• 45:58
  Speaker 12: had the touchdown Cooper Cup at some clutch clutch third down,
• 46:01
  Speaker 12: some versions. It was. It was one of those games.
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 46:04
  Speaker 12: It was a team effort. I'm happy for Kenneth Walker.
• 46:07
  Speaker 12: He shared the load much of the year. Was Zach
• 46:09
  Speaker 12: Sharbonay Sharboney goes down, He's asked to step up at
• 46:12
  Speaker 12: the end of the year and carry the load. He
• 46:14
  Speaker 12: looked fresh, he looked healthy. Credit to the Seahawks for
• 46:17
  Speaker 12: for load management and sharing the load all year so
• 46:21
  Speaker 12: that ken Walker could be at his best at the
• 46:23
  Speaker 12: end of the year. I thought it was just a
• 46:24
  Speaker 12: great team effort by everybody. My only my only thing
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: I wish I wish at the podium afterwards with the
• 46:30
  Speaker 12: Lombardi on TV, I wish there were some at least
• 46:33
  Speaker 12: a couple defensive guys up there as well, because they
• 46:36
  Speaker 12: were so great in this game.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the hard part. It's like, Okay, who
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: do you pick? I mean, how do you single one
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: or two guys out from that kind of an effort.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: And yet our own Seahawks insider Greg Bell, he picked
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon as the MVP. So he made a decision.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: He made a call, But it is a tricky situation.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I would have loved to have seen him. I would
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: have loved to see Mike McDonald.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: Be the MVP, to be honest, man.
• 47:02
  Speaker 12: Well yeah, well yeah, that's why I really thought there
• 47:06
  Speaker 12: was an opportunity for Cruise. The only moment, if you
• 47:08
  Speaker 12: don't know who Mike CRUs only is he's capped into
• 47:10
  Speaker 12: the USA nineteen eighty hockey team. He goes up to
• 47:13
  Speaker 12: get the gold medal and he's like, uh huh, all
• 47:15
  Speaker 12: of my teammates up here, everybody up here, and it
• 47:18
  Speaker 12: was just an iconic moment. I thought, really, that would
• 47:21
  Speaker 12: have been more appropriate with the way that our defense
• 47:24
  Speaker 12: played team defense, everybody carrying the water, everybody having a
• 47:27
  Speaker 12: hand in it. That would have been that would have
• 47:29
  Speaker 12: been epic. Maybe maybe we can get that done today.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up Michael Dixon too, because I
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: keep trying to force him into conversations, and usually I
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: like to only mock punters and kickers. That's usually been
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: my role in my life. But he was sensational on Sunday.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: I thought that was the best game he'd ever played
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: as a sew.
• 47:49
  Speaker 12: Well, it was an incredible game statistically, like if you're
• 47:52
  Speaker 12: in the math, it was an incredible game. But I'll
• 47:54
  Speaker 12: even take you one further, go back to the NFC
• 47:56
  Speaker 12: Championship game. One of the biggest plays in the game
• 47:59
  Speaker 12: was the must he puts. He's got this little like
• 48:02
  Speaker 12: knuckleball spin he can do on his punts, and the
• 48:05
  Speaker 12: Rams punt returner was struggling with it all night, and
• 48:08
  Speaker 12: that was where he fumbled the ball, Drek Young picked
• 48:11
  Speaker 12: it up. I think it was a play later Jake
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: Bobo had his touchdown catch. So that's real. I mean
• 48:16
  Speaker 12: to me, Dixon and the punts, the job he did
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: punting is a huge reason we're even in the super Bowl,
• 48:23
  Speaker 12: never mind the reason we won it. And he was
• 48:25
  Speaker 12: just incredible with balls inside twenty all night.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna have you put your John Schneider hat
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: on and Sam Darnold wins the super Bowl first year
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: as a Seahawk. I mean, if cap number goes up
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: next year and you have him signed even to a
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: bigger number the following season, did he do enough in
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: your opinion, even at his age where he's at right now,
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: where you'd say, let's go ahead and lock this dude up,
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: let's go ahead and make this a little bit longer
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: term than just the next couple of years.
• 48:53
  Speaker 12: Well, I think he's locked up, and I think it's mutual.
• 48:55
  Speaker 12: I mean, I can't even imagine Sam would ever want
• 48:58
  Speaker 12: to go anywhere, and he's under contract. They just did
• 49:00
  Speaker 12: him last year. I think the bigger, the bigger question is,
• 49:04
  Speaker 12: you know, what's what are you going to do with
• 49:05
  Speaker 12: guys like Kenneth Walker. What are you going to do
• 49:07
  Speaker 12: with guys like Jason Myers, Rashid Shahi? You know what,
• 49:11
  Speaker 12: how much does continuity matter to you? Where do you
• 49:13
  Speaker 12: want to get younger? More competitive?
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 49:16
  Speaker 12: Where where do you want to you know, maybe just
• 49:18
  Speaker 12: build the depth because this really was an impressive team.
• 49:21
  Speaker 12: But uh, and then the other thing is when you
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: lose Clintkopiak, who's he going to try to take with
• 49:26
  Speaker 12: him to Las Vegas? So you know, that's that's another
• 49:29
  Speaker 12: part of it, coaches and players. But no, I think
• 49:32
  Speaker 12: I think the big name, the big name will be
• 49:34
  Speaker 12: Kenneth Walker, Zach Sharperona's coming up with a big injury.
• 49:36
  Speaker 12: When will he be back? Or what are they gonna
• 49:39
  Speaker 12: do with with k niney ye?
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Matt hasselback with us. He's been with us every Wednesday
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: at eight o'clock throughout the entire postseason run, which ended
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: with a Super Bowl championship. The parade is here today,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: So what is it that you want to get out
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: of the parade today?
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: Matt?
• 49:57
  Speaker 12: Well, you know what, I'm really looking forward to the
• 49:59
  Speaker 12: ceremony at Loomenfield. But I think even more than that,
• 50:02
  Speaker 12: I'm looking forward to afterwards. Like I said, I'm going
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: to be up at Ozzie's. I'm going to be bartending
• 50:08
  Speaker 12: for a little bit. I'm hoping to hang out a
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: little bit, you know, lift the bartenders. Bartend. But Bud
• 50:13
  Speaker 12: Mike's giving up commemorative Super Bowl packaging and stuff like that.
• 50:18
  Speaker 12: So really excited what they did this season with NFL fans.
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: They dropped off a bunch of kegs after the NFC
• 50:24
  Speaker 12: Championship game. So if you're twenty one plus and you
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: want to keep the party going after the parade, I'll
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: be up there. It sounds like you guys have to
• 50:33
  Speaker 12: start all on lockdown up there. I'll take the finish
• 50:37
  Speaker 12: and I will just continue the team. We'll just continue
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: the team effort.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Teamwork makes the dream work.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: That's the way.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: That's the way I've heard it.
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: I made up that right here on the spot. I
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: don't think you did.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: You've heard that's a pretty clever, pretty creative on the fly. Well,
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: I don't. It's been great having you on here every
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Wednesday throughout this postseason run. Truly outstand and we hope
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: we'd get to do it more in the future. I'm
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: just curious how much of Bucky and I changed your life.
• 51:05
  Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, it was really I mean, you know, I
• 51:08
  Speaker 12: mean I think we were good, We were on the
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: right path till I found out Bucky was such a
• 51:11
  Speaker 12: diehard Broncos fan. Then you know, we kind of hit
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: the relationship got complicated at that point. But but you know,
• 51:19
  Speaker 12: but in all seriousness, maybe we could do this every postseason.
• 51:23
  Speaker 12: Maybe this will just be our postseason thing, you know,
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: you just get together for the Super Bowl run. I
• 51:28
  Speaker 12: would enjoy that.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: Well, that would be awesome, fine with that, And I
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: don't think we have to agree on everything.
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: Hasselbeck.
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: Okay, Well, I grew up with John Elway fans. Just
• 51:40
  Speaker 12: for whatever that's worth. I had a Broncos jersey I
• 51:42
  Speaker 12: wore all the time. And then then I got drafted
• 51:45
  Speaker 12: by a different team, and I said, the heck with
• 51:46
  Speaker 12: the Broncos. So I don't even know who you are.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: Well, I didn't get drafted by the Seahawks. Okay, that's true.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: All right, man, Well, thanks again, we appreciate have a
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: blast today and we'll talk to you down line.
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: Well do thanks guys.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: All right, Matt hasselback number eight today. That was great,
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: That was fun.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I just kind of threw that out there in a meeting,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: like would be cool to get Matt hasselback throughout the postseason.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Ashley goes, let me see what I can do. Yeah,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: get a call like magic. Four hours later, he's in. Yeah. Yeah.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: I thought a bit of a tough negotiation.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I got it done.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: I thought it was great up until the end right there.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Oh but Verny just has to throw shade at me,
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: like we didn't. We didn't embolden his life somewhere just
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: because I like the Broncos.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for I me. I mean, he and I
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: were probably gonna go on a vacation for Bermuda.
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you ruined it. Yeah.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll bet he'll still invite you. He's just gonna
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: be like, don't don't tell buck you we're going.
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: We'll see. And that's fine.
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: I don't need to I don't need to hang out
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: with people that like.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Call things caused and garadges. I don't even talk weird.
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: How's that?
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: How's that?
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: Hasslea?
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you, guys.
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, are there a lot of people there?
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people, it sounds like it.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, packed house.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds pretty good.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: These are the smart people. These are the people that
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: come in and uh, you know, prefunk before they.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: They got a good breakfast and look a biscuits and
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: gravy over there.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: Some championship biscuits is what they're called.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Ribstick and stuff is what they did.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: You gotta lay the solid foundation.
• 53:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, before the day of drinking.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Ashley and Bucky like, do we have better experts?
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: No at this than the two of you.
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: No, me, because I'm so professional. I'm just drinking apple juice.
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: But I'm thinking I'm gonna get one of these uh
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: these little alcoholic.
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: Coffee things I'm seeing over here.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Wow, what are they called again?
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: Yepees?
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, very New England.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a hassleback over there. Yeah, all right,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: coming up next, not just getting you ready for the parade,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: but we're using today and our show today as a
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: vehicle to kind of review a season in review of
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks and man, this was a controversial moment in
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: the offseason last year, but it could not have worked
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: out better for John Schneider, Mike McDonald and the Seahawks.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Will discuss at next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ.
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: R F M kJ r Hey Sun up to the
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: twelve the third shot.
• 54:16

• 54:18
  Speaker 2: selling for Shorgney.
• 54:20
  Speaker 7: Thank you to him, Donald looked things chick just churrisic.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Credit box for that highlight, one of many during this
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl Championship run for the Seattle Seahawks, who will
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: celebrate the moment with a parade today. They are inviting
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: about a million of their closest friends and we are
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: positioned at Jimmy so First, the live right down here
• 54:53

• 54:57
  Speaker 2: about an hour, we're going to turn things over to
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: in Forness on the radio station. Look at him, all, yeah,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: look at this guy.
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: He is.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: He's a perfect MC from ceremonies for us.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Glad we got him in here without his pants being
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: all wet, right right, I think about wetting himself out
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: in traffic.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Didn't I just give a list of things not that happened.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: He had nearly ruined it before he even started.
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: MC.
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: Dude, don't pee in public, don't pee yourself in public.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: Y was two of them, and he almost did both.
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: Pee himself in public.
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: I thought he was kidding when he sent us a text.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: I did too, but I ran out there just in
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: case he wasn't kidding. And boy, the look of relief
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: on his face when he saw me exit the doors.
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: Here here queen line for Valley. I gotta go, tinkle.
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: He didn't say that you can be.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Master's ceremonies with a big doll stain on your hands.
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: The smell.
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so I'm glad he made it. I am too.
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: Good job, thanks, Bucky, You're welcome. That's a teammate.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: That's right. World Championship team work, that's right, that's right.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: The boss Man rolled in two, so he got the
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: boss Man here. I'm nervous, Greg Bell. So yeah, we're
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: ready to go. Are you listening out there as we
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: get ready for a championship parade day here in Seattle. Look,
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: we've been doing a little bit of a season in
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: review also while getting you ready for the parade, And
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: we can't do a season in review without discussing Nick
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: emon Worriy, who fast became a lot of people's favorite
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Seahawk in his rookie year. He just checks every box, Bucky.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about a guy that
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: just came in here with what we thought of him was, well,
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: we know he's a freakish athlete, and we know Mike
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: McDonald is excited to work with him. And what kind
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: of combination could that be? Mike McDonald his ability to
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: use weapons like this, how can he weaponize Nick emon Worri?
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: It was even better than any of us dreamed. I
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: would argue that there was a time in the season
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: and he was banged up in the Super Bowl. Maybe
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: didn't play his best game in the Super Bowl. Others
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: outshined him on Super Bowl Sunday. But I think you
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: can make an argument that in his rookie season, Nick
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Eaman war he was the best defensive player on the
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: best defensive team in the National Football League.
• 57:13
  Speaker 5: You want to talk about an impact.
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean the idea of the freakish talent that
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: he brought to the table, the things that everybody saw
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: when he was working out and getting prepared for the draft,
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: and yet the way in which John Snyder worked the
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: draft to still get back up there and get him
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: where he did.
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: I'll dare him put us at risk like that.
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: Well, he's smarter than everybody. He understood exactly what he
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: could do, and he still ended up with that player.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure Mike McDonald was like, thank you, because
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: I mean that the weapon, the ability to do. You know,
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: Hugh talks about he's basically a Sam linebacker, even though
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: he's a big nickel or whatever whatever classification you want
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: to put on it. The fact that he can set
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: the edge in the run game. He's instinctial where he
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: he reads that and can play the run game as
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: well as any defensive back out there because he's the
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: size of a linebacker. But then he's fast enough on
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: the next play to cover you know, Dante Adams or
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: a top tier wide receiver. There's just something about that
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: that you can do that's kind of an ace up
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: your sleeve. And for a defensive minded genius like Mike
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: McDonald is, he obviously knew what it was he could
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: do with this guy. I didn't necessarily think he would
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: be able to implement all of his ideas in year one.
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: You just didn't think, Well, everybody's talks about how complex
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: this defense is. There's no way he's going to be
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: able to implement everything that he thinks he's capable of eventually.
• 58:31
  Speaker 6: But I don't know what he left on the table.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: I'll bet there probably is some stuff that Mike McDonald's like, Oh,
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: I can't wait until he figures this thing out, because
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: then I can do this.
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: But I mean, yeah, you're right.
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: I think that there's no doubt about it that a
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: defense that's filled with a bunch of really really good players,
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: some of them that could quite possibly go down as
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: being great when it's all said and done.
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: I think Nick even worry in his first year, propelled
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: himself to the top of the list.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Well, they didn't even I mean think about he missed
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: some games the beginning of We didn't start looking like
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: a division champion until he was in the lineup.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: We didn't start looking like there was a.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Championship future until he was a fixture in the lineup,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: until he was comfortable, until he the speed of the
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: game he'd gotten accustomed to. And then man, the team
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: took off as he was taking off, and it was
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: a beautiful thing to watch. What an exciting player to
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: have in house for the next few years. I mean,
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: to get a guy with that kind of athletic ability,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: those instincts, and also a love for football that makes
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: him one of the great workout guys on the team,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: one of the hungriest players on the team, and that's
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: a that's a dream combination to get it, and we
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: got him with a thirty fifth pick. I mean, you
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: get the freaking biggest freak athlete in the entire draft
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: who also makes plays and loves football and as a
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: work ethic and he was even the guy that ripped
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: Greek Woollan's ass when he needed to have his ass ripped.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: I mean to have a rookie step up in that
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: moment and said we got to be better than that.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 6: Ah.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, there wasn't anything not to like about number
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: three this year and I cannot wait to see his
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: career unfolded.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: Well, Greg and Ian and everybody that was following the
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: training camp situation, it was like the guy just looked
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: different when he's out there. It was kind of like
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: how you talked about DK Metcalf on the other side
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: of the ball, like you're just different when he's out there.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: And yet it wasn't like they were throwing him in
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: there and just hoping that he can maybe pick up this,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: that or the other. It was like here you go, dude,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be a piece of this thing moving forward.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: And yeah, when he was healthy and out there playing,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: he was a guy that you had to think about.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Nine o'clock hour coming up. We have more to discuss
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: and more of the table to set for you. Our
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: master of ceremonies is here. Maybe we'll even chat with
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Ian Greg Bell still standing down there, so we might
• 1:00:46

  Speaker 13: Exciting? I mean, it's fine, this is this is what

• 1:04:37
  Speaker 13: some beverages stacked up in the front of it by
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 13: one of them.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: Well, one that I saw.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: Did, yes, probably just water.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: I think it's just stay hydrided. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: What was the question?
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 10: Oh what was it like?
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 13: We always we don't We always joke about having a parade,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 13: and I thought I thought we were gonna have one
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 13: back in October. I thank you guys. Probably did two
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 13: in a couple of points. When on that Friday night
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 13: I thought we were gonna happen.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: I thought there was a chance. I'm saying there was
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: a chance.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah, But and you know what, who's to say there's
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 13: not gonna be one later on this year in October
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 13: as well.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: But this is what it's all about. Man, this is fun.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: It's it's different for me. I gotta watch it as
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: a fan.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 13: This year more so than the last time when it
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 13: was just a I was with Greg and I'm on
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 13: a field in New York and confetti and We're running
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 13: around doing stuff and then hoping I could get home
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 13: from a blizzard. So this was a little bit personally,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 13: a little bit more enjoyable and fun less business.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: And this is kind of culmination of this one. It's
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: all about Greg, what.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Do you love?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: What is it about this event that you like?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: Because you're a professional journalist and I would imagine you
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: don't like just covering stories with drunken football players for
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: six straight hours. And yet you're also somebody that loves
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: those little things about professional sports, professional sports athletes and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: being able to celebrate with family and friends and everything else.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: So how how do you wrap your beat writer brain
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: around this event?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 11: This is for the city, for all the people that
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 11: spend thousands of dollars a year on season tickets that
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 11: are on the wait list, that are pressing their faces
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 11: against glass to see their heroes that grew up in
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 11: the Kingdome and sitting in meadow bleachers for seven and
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 11: nine and eight and eight seasons.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 10: That's what today is for.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 11: And what's cool about this team I cover is even
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 11: the young guys Nicky Manwarris of the team, they get.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 10: That, they get that the fans here are different and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 10: the fervor is different.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 11: And then they have been here, people here for fifty
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 11: years of the franchise's history, the day ones who will
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 11: be down here tonight among the million today, among the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 11: million people they get. The players get that sense of
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 11: a civic trust that this franchise is and they also
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 11: really get the impact that these fans have on games,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 11: a tangible impact on game. Mike McDonald talked yesterday about
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 11: the fact that the Patriots went silent count in a
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 11: Super Bowl. The Super Bowl about as corporate of a
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 11: football game environment as there is, because all most of
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 11: the tickets are handouts to people who can care less
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 11: about the game. Bitch, big rich big wigs who don't
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 11: really have a stake in it. Seahawks fans bought up
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 11: a lot of those tickets on the second market, secondhand market,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 11: and that place was seventy five percent Seahawks. It was
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 11: my fifth Super Bowl I've ever covered, and I've never
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: heard it that loud in a Super Bowl, and that
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 11: stadium is not known to be very loud. It's not
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 11: there's no ruse or even covers around the stadium at
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 11: Levi Stadium.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: The Patriots went silent count in a Super Bowl.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: That is a tangible effect on the outcome of the game.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 11: The defense can get make their calls and do their
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 11: switches at the Patriots risk of trying to communicate counters
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 11: before the snap, and Sam Darnold was able to call
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 11: his cadences like he was in a practice in June
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 11: at a the vMac. It was quiet when the Seahawks
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 11: had the ball. That the players talked about that after
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 11: the game. They were saying to me, Gee, can you
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 11: believe how loud it was in there. I was like, yeah,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 11: I've never been in a Super Bowl that was that loud.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 11: Right today is for those people that spent fifteen thousand
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 11: dollars to go down to Saint Maclair in San Francisco
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 11: last week that have been watching on television if they
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 11: can't afford to go to games, that are priced out
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 11: of coming into Loomenfield for regular season NFL games, but
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 11: can come to this for free. That's why they parents,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 11: get your school kids out. This is stuff that is
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 11: for you as much as it is for the team.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 11: It's even more for the people.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 13: You guys talked about it in. I don't know what
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 13: hour I was driving in. It's been a few hours
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 13: since I was driving in. But when you had when
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 13: you buy Bucky is a lifetime You're welcome. God, you
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 13: are the man. No, you guys talked about it earlier.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 13: The three of you talked about it earlier. You know,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 13: there's an assumption sometimes when you win that well, we'll
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 13: just be back next day, right, and listen, I think
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 13: we if we look at the two teams side by side,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 13: New England's very different, older, with a lot of high priced,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 13: you know, free agents last couple of years. Seattle's in
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 13: a different boat in a lot of ways. But we
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 13: all kind of feel like, hey, this maybe even the
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 13: start of something for Seattle. They said the exact same
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 13: thing in twenty fourteen. In February twenty fourteen in the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 13: locker room in New Jersey. Every guy I talked to
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 13: you said the same thing, and you know what, they
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 13: were back in the next year, but there was no parade.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 13: This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 13: the players and for a lot of these.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: Fans as well. I mean it took us. I'm doing
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: the math.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 13: This is year fifty second parade in year fifty first
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 13: parade was in year thirty eight, Right, is that right?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: In the franchise?
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 13: These don't happen all that often. So enjoy it, absorb it,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 13: take it all in. I think what Greg said's right.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 13: Ninety nine percent of these people didn't go to the
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 13: Super Bowl in person, and probably about eighty percent didn't
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 13: even go to a game this year in person. But
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 13: they get a look and see if they're players up
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 13: close and personal as they drive by and they fly by.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 13: We've seen how this town and brave his athletes, how
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 13: we talked about you guys give me a hard time
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 13: of the crack and Cal Rowley's had been about I
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 13: don't know, ten twelve games this year. Every time they
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 13: put him on the big screen as he pounds a beer,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 13: real guy, real dude. As he does that, you hear
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 13: the chance of MVY and people just go bananas.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: Right. We love our heroes in this town.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 13: They get to celebrate them, look at them up close
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 13: and personal, something they don't normally get to do.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: Really cool day all the way around.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: You know, when I moved here, the twelve of them
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: had just it was at its most frenzy point here.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: I got here run a week after they didn't give
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: Marshawn the ball.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's when I.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Got here, all right, And so the twelve of them,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was it was at a fevered pitch
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: at that point, and there was the argument, the conversation
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: about like old school Seahawk fans versus the new school
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Tall tired that one. Yeah, and all of that stuff
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: was going on, and those conversations were being held. But
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this year, like getting that home field
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: advantage Ian Greg like that, I mean, it didn't make
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: a difference in the forty nine Ers game or in
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: the Patriots game.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 5: Those looked like they were going to be blowouts either way.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: But I rarely would ever even consider giving the twelves
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: credit for willing a team to victory. But I don't
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: think there was any coincidence that it's the first thing
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald mentioned on the podium and the NFC Conference
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: Championship game. It really there, really is this community of
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: we make a difference here in Seattle, and by God,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: we're going to celebrate it.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 10: I think.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 13: I think Greg, we saw Lumtfield come back at the
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 13: Rams Thursday night game for the first time in years.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 13: I'm sure you and I had this discussion in Arizona
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 13: after Pete Carroll's last game as well, went out that
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 13: night and in a shocking development, and but Luvianfield had
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 13: lost its luster. The Seahawks fan wasn't dominant in its
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 13: own building anymore. That home field advantage had disappeared. And
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 13: I remember we all kind of you and I and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 13: a couple guys, we were talking about how dysfunctional it
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 13: seemed to be.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: The are smoking Oh his first kid.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 13: No, it wasn't like all the dysfunction going on, and
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 13: whether it be fans selling tickets or the team kind
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 13: of lost, but mostly that Lumanfield luster had disappeared, had
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 13: just disappeared, and it's taken a while to get it back,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 13: but it is back now. But it took a while
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 13: to get to that point. It's great to see it
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 13: back because we saw it during the baseball playoffs.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: Oh for sure.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 13: We saw it three years ago when the Kraken were
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 13: in the playoffs, and we saw this year in the
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 13: Seahawks in the playoffs.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: Sports fans here are pretty damn good.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna say it again.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 11: The only four times the Seahawks have ever made the
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 11: Super Bowl is when they had home field advantage for
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 11: the playoffs. And we talked about it way back when
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 11: we talked about last year guys on your show. They
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 11: ain't getting anywhere until they win the division. Why because
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 11: you have to win the division to get home playoff.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 10: Games in the NFL.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 11: When they got in position to get the number one seed,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 11: that changed everything because you have one fewer playoff game
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 11: and you're both games are at home, and your path statistically,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 11: your path is so much better. That's why the Thursday
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 11: Night Rams game changed everything. And I could argue that
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 11: Rashid Shaheed changed everything. They're down nine minutes left there,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 11: down sixteen points when Rashid Shaheed fielded that punt and
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 11: ran it back forty fifty eight yards for a touchdown.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 10: Without that punt return.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 11: I don't know if Sam Darnold makes two eight point
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 11: drives to tie the games overtime, he only had to
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 11: make one because of Shiheed. If they don't win that game, guys,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 11: they're in Tampa Bay or Carolina in the wild card
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 11: round of the playoffs after being on the road two
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 11: weeks to end the regular season. Even if they make
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 11: a run in the playoffs, they would have had to
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 11: win five consecutive road games counting the end of the
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 11: regular season.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: There would not have been an NFC West title game
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 10: for San Francisco. That would have been a.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 11: Playoff seeding to try to stay out of the seventh
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 11: seed for if they lost the Rams game, I'm not
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 11: sure that they would have won five consecutive road games,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 11: including the Rams in the NFC Title to get to
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 11: the Super Bowl without beating the Rams and that comeback,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 11: the inexplicable two point played by Sharbonne and.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 5: All of it.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: All of that is to say that the fans had
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 10: a hand in that Rams game too.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 11: Ye, professional college, high school, youth league sports has momentum.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 5: Bucky knows. This momentum is real.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 11: You feel it in the stadium. You feel it on
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 11: the sidelines, the players feel it inside them. The other
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 11: team tenses up. Maybe Stafford holds onto the ball a
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 11: little bit longer and ends up darting a pass he
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 11: should earlier in the game would have easily thrown out
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 11: of his hand. And that's the difference between fourth and
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 11: five and a first down. It's momentum that this stadium builds.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 11: And again that's what today is for people. Know, it's
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 11: hard to wrap your hands around intangibles, which is why
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 11: people don't like that. They love the analytics and the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 11: stupid dvoas and all that stuff. Nah, Seattle's about Vince
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 11: and about the intangibles of the people and the people
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 11: in the building and the people in the stadium, the people.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 10: At a million people that are coming down to That's
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 10: what Seattle sports is about.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 11: It's not about the the they intent and Mike McDonald
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 11: those guys have absolutely embraced at it's it does make
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 11: this team unique, that regard for the fans, for the intangibles,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 11: for the home field and all of it.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 10: Today's a celebration for that.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: Was that the moment for you? That was it that
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: obvious that we were because I mean, we have you
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: on every day, and it was until they prove they
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: can beat the Rams on the forty nine ers. But
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: that Thursday nights when the first time you were like,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: this team might win it all.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 11: Yeah, because that night is when I said they're not
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 11: only gonna win the division, they have a chance to
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 11: get the number one a strong chance to get the
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 11: number one seed. If they went out, they're gonna be
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 11: the number one seed. And that's exactly what happened. They
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 11: won out, and then the dominant performance weekend team in
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 11: San Francisco showed that they can win with just their defense.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 11: They can win with a quarterback who didn't practice before
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 11: that game in the Divisional round forty one to six,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 11: where the quarterback who didn't throw from third day to
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 11: Saturday because of their defense, thirteen to three in Week
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 11: eighteen at San Francisco because of their defense, when they
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 11: just played ropa dope on offense and controlled the game
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 11: with their defense. And we also said this, if they
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 11: don't turn the ball over, they were gonna win the
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 11: Super Bowl. All of those things conspired at the exact point,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 11: a running game finally getting going in December and the
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 11: crux of the season. But yeah, it's enjoy this Seattle,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 11: it's not and they feel like they're young and they
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 11: have salary caps face and they have a twenty eight
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 11: year quarterback.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 10: It ain't that easy, right, And this is gonna be
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 10: hard to duplicate.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 5: Was that same for you that Thursday night?
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Because I want to tell you the first time it
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: crossed my mind was the Commanders And I'm not trying
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: to like one up when they killed them, when they
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: came out of that buy and I'm like, that was
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: like a NFL team as a college team. I mean,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: that was such domination. I'm like, is this team championship caliber?
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: I remember going to bad thinking that lad It.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 13: Was so different than twenty thirteen in that regard because
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 13: twenty thirteen they go they had to run at the
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 13: end of the year. In twenty twelve, they run the table,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 13: win the final six, win the first playoff game in Washington,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 13: RG three game. He with one of eight guys that
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 13: went down at at ACL in that game, but they
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 13: won that game, should have won in Atlanta, but you
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 13: felt like they were on the rise.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 5: And then twenty thirteen, buying large, they ran the table.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 13: Same thing though the best your best competition all year
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 13: was in your own division, you had to win the
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 13: final week in the regular season, and all that point
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 13: being is it was still easier that year. This year
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 13: they're three and two at one point, and you look
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 13: at the schedule, and you could make an argument at
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 13: three and two with what was coming up on the schedule,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 13: including the Commanders coming off an NFC championship up here
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 13: in the year before and a game against Houston, they
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 13: could have been they could have easily been a three
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 13: and five team at one point. And then everything started
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 13: to click. Like Greg said, crowd got into it, but
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 13: the defense really kind of took over. Sam Donald found
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 13: his way, and then I think, you know what you
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 13: guys have all said. You've talked about a lot of
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 13: the round tables this year, and with Greg at seven
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 13: and the Rashid Shihat trade, which was panned by a
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 13: lot of people. Oh, they gave up too much. First
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 13: of lots of bad draft this year. So your your
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 13: day three picks aren't what they normally are. No, everyone
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 13: will tell you it's not that. And you got that
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 13: guy and he changed a couple of games for you,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 13: and and it was huge, but it's and and here
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 13: we are with.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 11: A million people down down good point about the bad draft.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 11: The Seahawks have only four picks, right, but there's a
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 11: reason for that. Yeah, And Schnyder and his scouting staff
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 11: realize this is not the draft to stack up on picks.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 11: Let's get guys that can help us win a super
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 11: Bowl right now. And Rashik sh Heat as I just mentioned,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 11: probably changed the trajectory of their playoff seating because of
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 11: his return for the ram Man.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: You gotta love the scene down here. I mean, I
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: love the fact that we got a you know, a
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: loaf of to Tupu jersey being a represented we go.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: I just saw a nine year old with a Steve
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: Largent jersey on. I mean, we got Wagner and to represented.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: We got the new school players in the old school uniforms.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, you want to talk about a fan
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: base just sinking its teeth into a team, an easy
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: team to to love? My goodness, was this a fun team?
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: Great team, great season this year?
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 13: I think I think very similar to the baseball team,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 13: like guys you could like, guys that you could root for,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 13: Guys that didn't come across is Listen, the LB is
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 13: one of a kind and there's nothing wrong with how
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 13: they did things, and proof was in the championship, but
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 13: this team was just different and more likable. A to
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 13: Seahawks staffer text me during the playoffs during right before
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 13: the Super Bowl week. Actually they said really cool. I said, Hey,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 13: you know, I wish you were here. I know you
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 13: know how you did it for a long time, because
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 13: you'd really like this team, And I did. I was
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 13: out there a lot of Wednesdays this year, and every
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 13: guy I talked to you came across, even Worry is
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 13: one of the best interviews I've had in a long time.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 13: You know, guys like that just jump off the page
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 13: at you. Fun fun team to talk to, fun team
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 13: to root for, and hopefully a fun team to root
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 13: for for a few years. Greg mentioned this morning the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 13: salary cap space they've got coming up. Yeah, they're in
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 13: a great situation.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Your team with a lot of salary cap coming off
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: as much momentum as you could possibly with a thirty
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: eight year old right and an executive who is on
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: fire right now.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 13: And here's the thing with him, You go back in
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 13: the day, when did he struggle as a GM Well,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 13: if you want to call it struggle, it's when they
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 13: had already built this thing up, and they're drafting thirty first,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 13: twenty eighth, twenty ninth or not until the second or
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 13: third round, right, And so they took a chance on
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 13: the Christian Michaels and the leak mcdals were why because
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 13: they kind of felt like they could when it got
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 13: back to just putting a team together and building a
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 13: team up. This guy knows what the hell he's doing,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 13: as do Nolan and Trent and the rest of the
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 13: group in there with it also ups to get on
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 13: the same page. I don't know if beating he were
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 13: all on the same page. There were some trades in there.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: Greg where I'm like Jamal Jamal Adams.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 5: That's not a John Schneider wasn't aut much.
