- 2:11Speaker 2: host of the tournament.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Uh, you could be with your resident.
- 2:15Speaker 2: No, no, trust trust me. I was lucky. I was
- 2:19Speaker 2: lucky to get into our little oven that we're doing
- 2:21Speaker 2: the show from above the eighteenth Green today. They Yeah,
- 2:24Speaker 2: I was lucky to get here. You you know, you
- 2:26Speaker 2: had to help me get credentials TOEAH today.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was sunny out the last time
- 2:31Speaker 3: I was there.
- 2:31Speaker 4: It looked like, at least when I was coming into
- 2:34Speaker 4: work this morning, it looked there's a little bit of.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Yeah, we're above the eighteenth we're above the eighteenth Green.
- 2:38Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a haze, a little bit
- 2:40Speaker 2: of smoky haze in the distance over towards Mount Sai,
- 2:44Speaker 2: and like you can see it, but like I look
- 2:46Speaker 2: down and it doesn't smell like smoke anywhere. Again, we're
- 2:49Speaker 2: in a little booth here, so it's maybe hard to tell,
- 2:51Speaker 2: but the first golfers went out on an eleven point thirty,
- 2:56Speaker 2: so we're more ways away. I always liked to watch
- 2:58Speaker 2: guys coming up on eighteen and see what they're gonna
- 3:01Speaker 2: do here at the Bowing Classic Day one of three today,
- 3:03Speaker 2: tomorrow and Sunday. So the guys are just getting underway.
- 3:06Speaker 2: They're team off on both sides. They're using the one
- 3:09Speaker 2: and ten tis for those of you golf nerds out
- 3:11Speaker 2: there understand what that means. So we'll see and probably
- 3:14Speaker 2: about I don't know, one thirty or so, we'll probably
- 3:18Speaker 2: see the first group come up eighteen. I liked me
- 3:22Speaker 2: personally as a golf fan. And if you're a golf
- 3:24Speaker 2: fan and you play the game, this is this is.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I say this every year. Listen, the Champions Tour is
- 3:29Speaker 2: what it is. There's some big names out here. Oftentimes
- 3:33Speaker 2: it feels like someone wins you've never heard of, but
- 3:35Speaker 2: there are big names walking through. I like to stand
- 3:38Speaker 2: by the driving range. I just like watching the Like
- 3:40Speaker 2: if you like the.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Game, cool watchings?
- 3:42Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because then you a you realize like I
- 3:46Speaker 2: do every year, Like I know I'm not good at
- 3:48Speaker 2: the game. I love the game. I have a passion
- 3:49Speaker 2: for the game. I love playing it. I play every Wednesday.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I get other games. You know, I love playing the game.
- 3:54Speaker 2: I love playing with my son, and every now and then,
- 3:57Speaker 2: like I played okay on Wednesday, and yeah, okay, I
- 4:00Speaker 2: feel like things are coming around. Then I go to
- 4:02Speaker 2: the driving range here and watch these these old farts
- 4:04Speaker 2: out here, and then I realized, oh my god, I suck.
- 4:08Speaker 3: They're not exactly old parts.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I know I'm not good. I know I'm bad at golf,
- 4:14Speaker 2: but then I watch these guys and I realize, I
- 4:15Speaker 2: don't even know why I try to play, because it's
- 4:17Speaker 2: it's amazing watching their swings and how they hit the ball.
- 4:20Speaker 2: And just so, if you are a golfer or a
- 4:22Speaker 2: golf fan, just come watch the tournament. Watch these guys
- 4:25Speaker 2: walk around with a group or two walk the course.
- 4:27Speaker 2: It's an easy it's an easy course to walk. But
- 4:31Speaker 2: but I would just say, if if you want to
- 4:34Speaker 2: just really kind of enjoy it, get here early enough
- 4:36Speaker 2: to watch guys on the driving range, because I think
- 4:37Speaker 2: that's just a ton of fun. I think it's really cool.
- 4:39Speaker 2: So I will check in with the tournament director by
- 4:40Speaker 2: the way, at about one point thirty today, get you
- 4:42Speaker 2: a little a little what's up with this with the tournament?
- 4:45Speaker 2: This weekend up here at as comb me Radge. Okay,
- 4:49Speaker 2: lots to get to today, We've got a busy show.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Danny O'Neil's gonna join us at one pm. Looking forward
- 4:52Speaker 2: to that our weekly visit with Danny. One of the things
- 4:55Speaker 2: I'm gonna get into with Danny is it the Colton.
- 4:58Speaker 2: I want to go like the Seahawks and the and
- 5:00Speaker 2: I will just the Cold Emerson thing.
- 5:03Speaker 5: Hmm.
- 5:04Speaker 2: I'm off Monday. I'm taking a very rare day off,
- 5:07Speaker 2: although Chris will make fun of me the whole time
- 5:09Speaker 2: he's doing the show, saying that you know, I'm lazy
- 5:10Speaker 2: and I'm never here, although it's just you know, I
- 5:12Speaker 2: leave about two or three weeks of vacation on the
- 5:14Speaker 2: table every week.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, And I still like, even though I
- 5:17Speaker 4: never want you to not be here, it still bothers
- 5:20Speaker 4: me that you don't take all your vacay.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I know I need to do a better job of
- 5:23Speaker 2: doing that. So but anyway, I'm off Monday, and I
- 5:25Speaker 2: wish I wasn't because man, I think it's gonna whatever
- 5:27Speaker 2: they do this weekend. It's maybe if they sweep the
- 5:31Speaker 2: feeling will be different, but it's gonna be spicy Monday,
- 5:34Speaker 2: the cold Emerson thing. I kind of want to put
- 5:37Speaker 2: my head through the wall. I just I get it.
- 5:42Speaker 2: He's an easy guy to send down. Are you a
- 5:45Speaker 2: better baseball team? Are you helping him? I don't know.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I don't think you can say that. And on top
- 5:50Speaker 2: of that, he's a better offensive player right now than
- 5:53Speaker 2: a bunch of the other guys, including your catcher. I'll
- 5:55Speaker 2: leave it at that. Okay, let's just we're gonna hear
- 5:58Speaker 2: if you missed it yesterday, and frankly, being honest, probably
- 6:02Speaker 2: a lot of he did. The Mariners were in the
- 6:03Speaker 2: midst of an eighth inning, seventh eighth inning, and a
- 6:05Speaker 2: one nothing game. We talked to Jake Bobo yesterday. Fun dude.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I We'll have him on during the season again. He's
- 6:11Speaker 2: always a great how to talk to. Yeah, really fun guy.
- 6:14Speaker 2: I'll pat ourselves, you and me Jess on the back.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Let's go. I'm doing it right now.
- 6:19Speaker 2: We were the first ones, the first show to have
- 6:21Speaker 2: him on. Yeah, he was a rookie years ago and
- 6:24Speaker 2: he did have him on. I remember every Oh he's
- 6:27Speaker 2: a great interview.
- 6:27Speaker 5: He yes, he is.
- 6:28Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, everybody else discovers him.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I hate doing that, like Bud Clark, guys like that.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Now we knew Bud Clark is good interview because of
- 6:33Speaker 2: this draft day.
- 6:34Speaker 4: But yeah, anyway, but Jake was an undrafted free agent,
- 6:37Speaker 4: right and we knew about.
- 6:38Speaker 2: It, Like, why are you having this guy on? I go, well,
- 6:40Speaker 2: because I'm watching him in training camp. He's having a
- 6:41Speaker 2: great camp, and we're gonna put him on. And then
- 6:43Speaker 2: as it turns out, he's a great talker, he's a
- 6:44Speaker 2: fun guy to talk to. We'll have him coming up
- 6:47Speaker 2: at twelve twenty or so. Today. The Terry and Arnold
- 6:50Speaker 2: thing is is an interesting dynamic. There is a big
- 6:53Speaker 2: part of me that says, with him, you trust the Seahawks,
- 6:59Speaker 2: and you trust Mike McDonald, you trust John Schneider architects
- 7:03Speaker 2: and the architect and the coach of the defending Super
- 7:05Speaker 2: Bowl champions. Schneider's resume in his what is this now
- 7:10Speaker 2: seventeenth year is impeccable. What he's been able to do
- 7:14Speaker 2: here in Seattle. It's remarkable. Building two Super Bowl champions
- 7:18Speaker 2: from scratch, with two separate starting quarterbacks and two separate coaches.
- 7:22Speaker 2: It's never been done in the history of the NFL.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Schneider's great at what he does. Mike McDonald, you just
- 7:27Speaker 2: watch him in hard knocks. We've known he's great just
- 7:29Speaker 2: covering him the last couple of years. Now everybody gets
- 7:31Speaker 2: to see the inside workings of a Mike McDonald. He's phenomenal.
- 7:35Speaker 2: All those things are great. Terry and Arnold and Greg
- 7:39Speaker 2: has a line he uses all the time, and it's
- 7:41Speaker 2: a great one. It really is. Football always wins out.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I e win it all costs, and that's what this
- 7:48Speaker 2: one feels like. Now. I don't blame the Seahawks, and
- 7:53Speaker 2: maybe they know, maybe they do no more. We talked
- 7:56Speaker 2: about it before. Every team has their own security team,
- 7:58Speaker 2: and the NFL has their own security team. These guys
- 8:00Speaker 2: do their investigations. They know more than any of us
- 8:02Speaker 2: do in the media, and frankly, probably they might know
- 8:05Speaker 2: more right now than some of the lawyers involved in
- 8:07Speaker 2: the cases. But the charges against him are just egregious,
- 8:14Speaker 2: like egregious, like you had it in the headlines, Jess.
- 8:18Speaker 2: We're talking life in prison. We're not talking misdemeanors where
- 8:21Speaker 2: you're gonna spend sixty, you know, sixty days in a
- 8:26Speaker 2: county jail. We're talking about like real life prison time,
- 8:32Speaker 2: and if any of those things are true, it's a
- 8:36Speaker 2: really bad dude. Now, not our job to judge. There
- 8:41Speaker 2: is due process in this country, and all too often
- 8:44Speaker 2: in our world these days, you get accused of something,
- 8:46Speaker 2: you get that stigma placed on you, and boom, it
- 8:49Speaker 2: sticks with you forever, whether you're innocent or not. And
- 8:52Speaker 2: I hate that about the world we live in right
- 8:54Speaker 2: now because that used to not be the case, but
- 8:56Speaker 2: because the world is smaller, because the world of social media,
- 9:00Speaker 2: the internet, everything at your fingertips and all those things.
- 9:04Speaker 2: These days, there is no such thing as innocent until
- 9:06Speaker 2: proven guilty.
- 9:07Speaker 3: No, it's innocent or it's guilty by media.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Guilty until proven innocent. Even when you're proven, even if
- 9:14Speaker 2: you're proven innocent.
- 9:15Speaker 3: What's the court of public opinion?
- 9:16Speaker 2: Yeah, even if proven innocent, that's going to be It
- 9:18Speaker 2: hangs over your head. I mean there's a couple of
- 9:19Speaker 2: things sexual assault, racist remarks, things like that that they
- 9:24Speaker 2: if they're attached to you, you never get you never
- 9:26Speaker 2: get rid of it. I think Sophie Cunningham is a
- 9:28Speaker 2: great example of that, to be honest with you. So, yeah,
- 9:31Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham said she doesn't believe that men should be
- 9:33Speaker 2: playing in women's sports. That's all she's ever said. But
- 9:36Speaker 2: that immediately makes her anti trends everything else. Right, she's
- 9:40Speaker 2: evil and that's not who she is. But we just
- 9:42Speaker 2: paint people with a broad brush. I bring that up
- 9:44Speaker 2: with Terran Arnold for this reason. He may or may
- 9:46Speaker 2: not have committed some absolutely horrific, horrific things. If he did.
- 9:52Speaker 2: If he did, then then he should a serve that
- 9:56Speaker 2: prison time and be never playing the National Football League again.
- 9:59Speaker 2: If he did not, should be given the opportunity to
- 10:01Speaker 2: resume his life and move forward. Now here's the interesting
- 10:05Speaker 2: part with the Seahawks. I'm not quite ready to give
- 10:07Speaker 2: them credit yet, for hey, you know they know more.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And I think what Seattle did. I mentioned this to Greg.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I think it's a great football move. It is a
- 10:18Speaker 2: very low risk and a very very high ceiling. Here,
- 10:22Speaker 2: you sign a guy that if the charges proved to
- 10:26Speaker 2: be true, he'll never play for you, and he'll go
- 10:30Speaker 2: to jail and or prison and we'll never see him again,
- 10:33Speaker 2: and you don't have to pay him, and you just
- 10:35Speaker 2: move on. If he's exonerated, and this stuff is it
- 10:40Speaker 2: was other dudes and not him involved. And his name
- 10:43Speaker 2: just got drug into it, which I think is what
- 10:46Speaker 2: everyone involved football wise is hoping. Then you just got
- 10:51Speaker 2: a first round talent at one of the most important
- 10:55Speaker 2: positions in the National Football League, to go along with
- 10:58Speaker 2: another first round talent and Devin Witherspoon and a just
- 11:02Speaker 2: in the best defense last year in the National Football League.
- 11:05Speaker 2: You just added to that. Okay, I mean it's a
- 11:09Speaker 2: it's a honestly from a foot just a purely football standpoint.
- 11:14Speaker 2: It's a brilliant move. And I mean a brilliant move
- 11:18Speaker 2: by the Seahawks because what they have done is said Okay,
- 11:22Speaker 2: I mean they're not paying him up front, they're not
- 11:24Speaker 2: paying him ten to twenty million dollars, they're just paying
- 11:26Speaker 2: him nothing. And if he plays here, awesome, If not,
- 11:31Speaker 2: you move on, okay, by yeah, I think it's I
- 11:34Speaker 2: think so, I like, I know there's going to be
- 11:37Speaker 2: people that are either like, hey, hey, you know what,
- 11:39Speaker 2: like innoc until proven guilty. Great job by the Seahawks,
- 11:41Speaker 2: you know, great job. I'll just me saying I can't
- 11:43Speaker 2: believe they did this. That's just gross. This guy's this,
- 11:45Speaker 2: this and this, well you don't know these that you
- 11:47Speaker 2: don't know and Honestly, the Seahawks dont one hundred percent.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Now they got to wait for everything to play out,
- 11:52Speaker 2: and if it does play out in his favor, well,
- 11:55Speaker 2: you just that's a coup first round pick for a
- 12:00Speaker 2: league minimum salary to go with Devin Witherspoon to bring
- 12:03Speaker 2: him into the defending Super Bowl champions Huge, absolutely massive. Yeah,
- 12:07Speaker 2: so like there you go.
- 12:09Speaker 4: It's also one of the things that I was saying
- 12:11Speaker 4: earlier that there's more than a tryout that happened. These
- 12:15Speaker 4: people interview the person that they bring in, regardless of
- 12:18Speaker 4: who they are. They sit down with them, and there's
- 12:21Speaker 4: a lot more than just watching him run around on
- 12:24Speaker 4: the field.
- 12:25Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 12:25Speaker 4: And so you know, Greg even said, I worked in
- 12:29Speaker 4: the Pentagon, and I think that they have better security
- 12:32Speaker 4: teams when it comes to like the NFL teams do
- 12:35Speaker 4: when it comes to sussing people out.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I I So we'll see. I mean, we'll
- 12:42Speaker 2: see what it all comes to preseason games tomorrow. There
- 12:46Speaker 2: will be many that don't want to, that don't care
- 12:48Speaker 2: about the preseason game, and then we'll look at the
- 12:50Speaker 2: TV numbers on Monday and it'll be massive. I'll tell
- 12:54Speaker 2: you this. I'll tell you this the I I'll tell
- 12:59Speaker 2: you I'm one hundred percent wrong if this proves to
- 13:02Speaker 2: be true. But I'm going to guess the baseball teams
- 13:06Speaker 2: is playing for a playoff spot right now, right last.
- 13:09Speaker 3: I checked, they can, Well they could, Yeah, they have.
- 13:14Speaker 2: They have important games this weekend. I guess the Houston
- 13:16Speaker 2: Astros the Seahawks are playing a for all intense purposes,
- 13:20Speaker 2: an exhibition game. The Seahawk game will probably do double
- 13:24Speaker 2: or more in terms of TV ratings this weekend than
- 13:27Speaker 2: the Mirrors games. People will watch, people will care. And
- 13:30Speaker 2: the thing I'm that'll be fun tomorrow for the Seahawks.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And and this why I'm kind of excited for the
- 13:34Speaker 2: call even is that like I watched a little bit
- 13:37Speaker 2: of the Raiders game yesterday, I watched a little bit
- 13:39Speaker 2: of the uh the San Francisco game they were playing
- 13:42Speaker 2: the Titans. Like those stadiums are kind of like half full.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Maybe at the most lumin will be almost full, like
- 13:50Speaker 2: eighty five ninety five peru.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a chance to see the Super Bowl play.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think what's cool too is a lot
- 13:56Speaker 2: of people, I mean they I think it's kind of greasy.
- 13:58Speaker 2: What the NFL does They make you buy. If you're
- 14:00Speaker 2: a season ticket holder, you gotta buy tickets for the
- 14:02Speaker 2: two preseason games or this year because this case, this
- 14:04Speaker 2: year is just one. So guys like Softy and Fame
- 14:07Speaker 2: that have season tickets to the Sex and I think
- 14:09Speaker 2: that's kind of nuts. But those guys a lot of
- 14:11Speaker 2: times it's getting away to people. So you have a
- 14:12Speaker 2: lot of people in the stands and don't go to
- 14:13Speaker 2: a game normally, so it's gonna feel fun and it'll
- 14:16Speaker 2: be fun. I want to see the guy I want
- 14:18Speaker 2: to see, to be honest with you, Jaln Milroll.
- 14:20Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 2: I want to see Jayal Milroll because he has looked
- 14:23Speaker 2: so much better this season at the quarterback position, so
- 14:26Speaker 2: we'll get a chance to see him. I like the
- 14:28Speaker 2: fact McDonald said he's gonna rotate. Locke's gonna start, but
- 14:30Speaker 2: Milroe's gonna come in and then lock Well go back
- 14:32Speaker 2: and they're gonna rotate. It's not gonna be like you
- 14:34Speaker 2: play half, I play half. That's it. He's gonna rotate
- 14:36Speaker 2: those guys in to play with different players. We saw
- 14:38Speaker 2: Milroll yesterday working a lot with the twos on the offense,
- 14:41Speaker 2: so he's getting a little so he's getting used to
- 14:43Speaker 2: those guys, not just the threes, so we'll see that
- 14:45Speaker 2: coming up to him. All right. We had Jake Bobo
- 14:47Speaker 2: on yesterday. Fun got to talk to Seahawk wide receiver,
- 14:52Speaker 2: one of the most popular guys in the team. We
- 14:53Speaker 2: were sitting there doing the interview jests and there's like
- 14:56Speaker 2: a couple dozen people that were there like waiting, and
- 14:58Speaker 2: they wanted to get pitchers and and autograss and I
- 15:00Speaker 2: took him right up to the I apologize. It was
- 15:02Speaker 2: like he had to get back inside get dressed for practice,
- 15:04Speaker 2: so you know he couldn't do that. He said, I'll
- 15:06Speaker 2: try to sign for you afterwards, which he did. But
- 15:09Speaker 2: he's so much fun to talk to. You've got a
- 15:10Speaker 2: lot to say. We'll talk to the Seahawks fourth year
- 15:13Speaker 2: wide receiver who actually signed a nice contract after a
- 15:17Speaker 2: bidding war for his services. Of all things just that

- 17:36Speaker 7: coach Tye or something like that.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Is that his deal? Like he's well hard knocks tells
- 17:42Speaker 2: a lot. Uh oh. So like we've noticed this a
- 17:45Speaker 2: couple of weeks watching family and stuff and and and
- 17:48Speaker 2: I don't know if you've noticed this. Andrew's back in
- 17:49Speaker 2: the studio when they show like the auditorium and guys
- 17:52Speaker 2: are coming in for your meetings. He's the first guy
- 17:55Speaker 2: in front row right there. Tyle Katta. I mean, look
- 18:00Speaker 2: at this situation he's in. Yeah, it works. Yeah, you
- 18:04Speaker 2: were probably you were probably a sit in the front
- 18:06Speaker 2: row guy back. Oh my gosh.
- 18:09Speaker 7: Yeah, well you have to be You've got to be
- 18:11Speaker 7: the guy that has all the answers when you don't
- 18:13Speaker 7: have necessarily all of the physical answers, if you know
- 18:16Speaker 7: what I mean.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Jake Bubbo's here with us. First of all, you are healthy,
- 18:20Speaker 2: I am. Yes, A little hamstring is the worst.
- 18:24Speaker 7: You train all summer to avoid soft tissue in the
- 18:26Speaker 7: first week you camp, and then you just get hit
- 18:28Speaker 7: with one. And that's where we were at. But uh,
- 18:33Speaker 7: onward and upward.
- 18:34Speaker 2: David McKenzie, that group that that your your medical staff
- 18:36Speaker 2: is they're so good.
- 18:38Speaker 7: Ryan is Jeramee was in charge of my my rehab
- 18:42Speaker 7: and he's one of the best in the business, really
- 18:46Speaker 7: really good at what.
- 18:46Speaker 2: They do that flies under the radar sometimes we talk
- 18:48Speaker 2: about McDonald his staff and players all this. I like
- 18:52Speaker 2: that that group behind the scenes really good.
- 18:55Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, you're exactly right fully behind the scenes.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Have you been in that that to cold treadmill tub
- 19:02Speaker 2: that even worry was on on him hard knocks the
- 19:04Speaker 2: other day?
- 19:04Speaker 7: Yeah, unfortunately. I actually that did that a little bit
- 19:07Speaker 7: with the ham did that a little bit last year
- 19:09Speaker 7: with some of the stuff I was dealing with.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Is it as brutal as it looks?
- 19:13Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's honestly nice because the reason why
- 19:16Speaker 7: you're on that is because you can't run your jog
- 19:19Speaker 7: anything outside of the pool. So to be able to
- 19:22Speaker 7: actually do that, yeah, is actually kind of nice. But
- 19:25Speaker 7: once you're on there for ten to fifteen minutes, I
- 19:27Speaker 7: guess it's not.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Yeah, it wouldn't be the most fun of the world.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Jake Bobo with me. All Right, so let's let's get
- 19:31Speaker 2: to your situation. Interesting off season? Oh yeah, win a
- 19:34Speaker 2: super Bowl. Then all of a sudden, Jake Bobo's kind
- 19:37Speaker 2: of being talked about around like you're where are you going?
- 19:39Speaker 7: Yeah, what's going on? What's going on?
- 19:41Speaker 2: What you want? How cool was that you ended up
- 19:43Speaker 2: back here? But just when you had other interests from
- 19:46Speaker 2: around the league? It offers and things like that, Yeah,
- 19:49Speaker 2: what was going through your mind the whole time?
- 19:51Speaker 7: I mean, it's a I don't want to call it
- 19:53Speaker 7: a stressful situation. It's a great problem to have, is
- 19:56Speaker 7: kind of the way I framed it. Where if you'd
- 20:01Speaker 7: have told me four years ago that there would be,
- 20:03Speaker 7: you know, multiple NFL organizations that are kind of vying
- 20:06Speaker 7: for for what you have to offer. I would have said,
- 20:09Speaker 7: sign me up. But again, when you come from a
- 20:13Speaker 7: place like this and knowing that you want to end
- 20:16Speaker 7: up back here, it was you know, there was some
- 20:20Speaker 7: stress involved. But I I tried to take, you know,
- 20:22Speaker 7: that step back and say, wherever we end up, you
- 20:24Speaker 7: know we're gonna be happy. But in the back of
- 20:26Speaker 7: my mind I knew, you know, we wanted to come
- 20:28Speaker 7: back here.
- 20:28Speaker 2: And what is it about this place? Because if let's
- 20:30Speaker 2: just say, all things being equal, what is it about
- 20:32Speaker 2: this But Super Bowl ring is nice? Obviously, yeah, it helps,
- 20:35Speaker 2: But but what is it about this place? Is it Mike?
- 20:38Speaker 2: Is it a teammates, the facility, the city? What is
- 20:41Speaker 2: it about this place? Yeah? I don't know.
- 20:43Speaker 7: I think some of it is you're you're looking at
- 20:45Speaker 7: it in the facility that we've got here, and but
- 20:49Speaker 7: but beneath that, it's it's the culture. And and if
- 20:53Speaker 7: you ask me how to describe describe that, it's very
- 20:56Speaker 7: very difficult to do. And in a few words, it's
- 21:00Speaker 7: just a feeling you get when you walk into that building.
- 21:02Speaker 7: It's I think as family oriented as you can get
- 21:05Speaker 7: in the NFL, as relationship oriented as you can get
- 21:09Speaker 7: in the NFL, which is known for being a very
- 21:11Speaker 7: cutthroat business, and it is, but here they do a
- 21:14Speaker 7: very very good job of kind of combining that cutthroat
- 21:18Speaker 7: side of things with a little bit more of maybe
- 21:21Speaker 7: the college football not not really college college football anymore,
- 21:26Speaker 7: but what it was, which is, you know, we're we're
- 21:29Speaker 7: trying to create a family, family atmosphere here and go
- 21:32Speaker 7: and attack and win days. And when you combine kind
- 21:36Speaker 7: of all of those elements, it creates a very interesting
- 21:40Speaker 7: machine that has been very successful for us in the
- 21:44Speaker 7: last year or so and will continue to be.
- 21:46Speaker 2: There's some recruiting that goes along in the process as well, Jake,
- 21:49Speaker 2: And I guess for me, I'm kind of curious about
- 21:51Speaker 2: that side of it because we saw you make some
- 21:54Speaker 2: big catches, big really big catch and and do some things.
- 21:59Speaker 2: You're ago though in a league that's filled with receivers
- 22:02Speaker 2: and diva receivers that want to see the ball one
- 22:03Speaker 2: hundred times, you may not see the ball that many times. Yeah,
- 22:06Speaker 2: you're you're a special teams guy, and you're a huge
- 22:09Speaker 2: part of the running game. And I know McDonald's what
- 22:11Speaker 2: did what did Mike say during that process? Because I
- 22:13Speaker 2: know it's great to get paid and they match the
- 22:16Speaker 2: all those things, but you have to feel wanted. So
- 22:18Speaker 2: what what did Mike say specifically or even John, Well, I.
- 22:21Speaker 7: Think that's kind of the the poll of this place
- 22:27Speaker 7: is like, it wasn't necessarily a conversation that we had
- 22:33Speaker 7: John Mike for as the receivers coach whoever. They just
- 22:36Speaker 7: create an environment where you know you're wanted. So it's
- 22:40Speaker 7: not necessarily anything he said to me or my agent
- 22:44Speaker 7: or whatever, but we both knew that each of us
- 22:48Speaker 7: wanted to get what I do back here into this team,
- 22:52Speaker 7: in this organization. It was valued, It was cool, and
- 22:56Speaker 7: I can you feel that every day. I don't think
- 22:59Speaker 7: that necessarily comes from verbal confirmation, but they do a
- 23:04Speaker 7: very very good job of all ninety right now, all
- 23:08Speaker 7: seventy guys when you get into the fall of knowing
- 23:11Speaker 7: their value and being being able to create confidence and
- 23:15Speaker 7: instilling confidence in that.
- 23:16Speaker 2: The j coach Frizz we saw him on hard knocks
- 23:21Speaker 2: with JSN and they were kind of going back and
- 23:23Speaker 2: forth a little bit. Yeah, and that's just part of
- 23:25Speaker 2: the process now, But tell us about him, because that's
- 23:27Speaker 2: a coach and nobody really heard from before fans hadn't
- 23:30Speaker 2: tell us about him.
- 23:31Speaker 7: Well, he's the ultimate players coach, I would say, and
- 23:34Speaker 7: that's very hard to find in today's league. Yeah, we
- 23:37Speaker 7: talked about building relationships and stuff earlier, and obviously he's
- 23:40Speaker 7: got the football IQ and some of the scheme stuff,
- 23:44Speaker 7: but there's so much more when you're dealing with receivers
- 23:48Speaker 7: who have very big personalities. And he's done a very
- 23:52Speaker 7: very good job of coming in setting the tone for
- 23:55Speaker 7: who we want to be as a room, creating an
- 23:58Speaker 7: atmosphere and environment and where everybody feels like and is
- 24:02Speaker 7: aware of what they add to that room. And he
- 24:05Speaker 7: does he does that in his in his own way,
- 24:07Speaker 7: creating relationships with each individual in that room. He's done
- 24:12Speaker 7: a very very good job of and he knows when
- 24:14Speaker 7: to push and when to kind of take his foot
- 24:16Speaker 7: off the gas, which I'm sure I haven't seen it,
- 24:18Speaker 7: but I'm sure you saw the other day.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Yeah, those two go at it a lot. Yeah, in
- 24:23Speaker 2: a very constructive Yeah, if you haven't seen it, it was
- 24:25Speaker 2: it was the two of them together and just talking
- 24:28Speaker 2: about terminology and verbage and some different things he wants
- 24:32Speaker 2: to the new offense, and it was a sided asset
- 24:35Speaker 2: like it didn't come across as being the diva receiver
- 24:38Speaker 2: or he was just he's got a lot of that.
- 24:40Speaker 2: No he doesn't, but it was it was kind of
- 24:41Speaker 2: a cool little part to see him, Oh yeah, kind
- 24:44Speaker 2: of go and they're back and forth and it was
- 24:45Speaker 2: a great interaction. And I just thought, that's collaboration. And
- 24:49Speaker 2: it also here's the best receiver in the NFL, right,
- 24:51Speaker 2: uh huh and talking to his coach and his coach like, yeah,
- 24:54Speaker 2: this is how it's going to be, and you're going
- 24:56Speaker 2: to do it like this. And that's the other thing.
- 24:58Speaker 7: Friz knows when he can say that, and then when
- 25:00Speaker 7: you gotta kind of gotta let Jax be Jacks or
- 25:03Speaker 7: Coop be Coop or she'd be she'd Friz knows all
- 25:06Speaker 7: of us, Yeah, very very well, and he's done a
- 25:09Speaker 7: good job of of getting to know us, and he
- 25:11Speaker 7: knows which buttons to push when.
- 25:14Speaker 2: How's the how's the nuances of the new offense? I mean,
- 25:17Speaker 2: it's that same tree, I guess, so to speak. But
- 25:19Speaker 2: even we got a glimpse of it, there is there
- 25:21Speaker 2: are some differences. What do you like about what just
- 25:24Speaker 2: what do you like about? In general sense of what's
- 25:26Speaker 2: new this year. Yeah, we'll coach Flurry.
- 25:29Speaker 7: Flu has you know you're gonna have your offensive coordinator,
- 25:34Speaker 7: is gonna put his his twist on the offense. Like
- 25:37Speaker 7: you say, it's the same kind of West Coast verbiage scheme.
- 25:41Speaker 7: But Flu has done a really really good job of
- 25:44Speaker 7: kind of defining who, defining who he wants to be
- 25:46Speaker 7: as an offensive coordinator. What's he what he wants to
- 25:50Speaker 7: do in the run game, what he wants to do
- 25:51Speaker 7: in the past game. We know, we're continuing to get
- 25:54Speaker 7: to know kind of his personality, his style to the
- 25:59Speaker 7: point where we kind of know what he's gonna call when,
- 26:03Speaker 7: And I don't necessarily want to put a lot of
- 26:06Speaker 7: that out there.
- 26:08Speaker 5: But.
- 26:09Speaker 7: You know, it's been cool to watch him come in
- 26:12Speaker 7: and we're running a lot of the same scheme, but
- 26:16Speaker 7: he's definitely got his own, uh seasoning and spice on
- 26:19Speaker 7: some things, which will be fun to watch.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Jake Bobba with us fourth year in the NFL. We
- 26:23Speaker 2: first met you four years ago. You said you never
- 26:25Speaker 2: could have believed four years ago you'd be in the
- 26:27Speaker 2: situation you were a last off season people bidding on
- 26:29Speaker 2: your talents and getting a nice payday, and this is
- 26:32Speaker 2: taking care of you and kind of giving you a
- 26:33Speaker 2: little bit of stability maybe as well. But I want
- 26:36Speaker 2: to ask you about the touchdown against the Rams. Can
- 26:40Speaker 2: you just for a guy like you that just grinded
- 26:42Speaker 2: to get there and is doing a lot of the
- 26:44Speaker 2: dirty work, especially the line of scrimmage?
- 26:47Speaker 5: What of that?
- 26:48Speaker 2: What was that? Like?
- 26:49Speaker 7: What it meant a lot to be able to contribute
- 26:52Speaker 7: in a way that's you know, literally on the scoreboard. Yeah,
- 26:55Speaker 7: I hadn't done a lot of that season, and obviously
- 26:59Speaker 7: as a as a competitor, you want to be able
- 27:01Speaker 7: to contribute to your team's success, and we were having
- 27:04Speaker 7: a lot of success, and my role wasn't necessarily, like
- 27:06Speaker 7: you said, uh, able to be viewed in that manner,
- 27:12Speaker 7: I guess I would say. And so to be able
- 27:14Speaker 7: to do that, it's cool, But at the same time,
- 27:15Speaker 7: you've got to keep that the mindset of whatever I've
- 27:19Speaker 7: got to do to contribute, What do I have to
- 27:21Speaker 7: do to help us win games? If I didn't catch
- 27:25Speaker 7: a single ball last year and we go ahead and
- 27:27Speaker 7: win the Bowl, and I do what I gotta do
- 27:28Speaker 7: on special teams in the run game that I'm I'm
- 27:31Speaker 7: in So that's kind of my mindset now going into
- 27:35Speaker 7: this year. Like you said, maybe a little more stability,
- 27:39Speaker 7: but it's the same mindset. Go do what you need
- 27:41Speaker 7: to do to get wins, to score touchdowns, to make
- 27:45Speaker 7: tackles on special teams and put our team in a
- 27:47Speaker 7: position to win games.
- 27:48Speaker 2: The I mean, it's the ring was gonna come down.
- 27:50Speaker 2: You get the ring. It came down down the ceiling,
- 27:52Speaker 2: came down of the ceiling. Coup more minutes here with
- 27:54Speaker 2: Jake Bob before we let him go. Let me, do
- 27:57Speaker 2: you feel the love from the fans that the people have, mean,
- 27:59Speaker 2: there's a group of people here waiting for you, like
- 28:01Speaker 2: it's you go on the field. I hear your name
- 28:03Speaker 2: called out as much as anybody else. It is odd,
- 28:05Speaker 2: and I mean, but it's cool. Like I think part
- 28:08Speaker 2: of your personality you're very engaging. But I think, but
- 28:11Speaker 2: what does that mean to a guy that's like you
- 28:12Speaker 2: just come out here. You just said it's it's about
- 28:14Speaker 2: this building, It's about Mike McDonald, but it's about all
- 28:16Speaker 2: these folks too, right, I mean, what what is that
- 28:18Speaker 2: like for you as a player to come from where
- 28:20Speaker 2: you are under a free agent, to be now a
- 28:22Speaker 2: guy that like everyone's Bobo's so cool. It's so so cool.
- 28:27Speaker 7: And all you try to do is make these folks
- 28:29Speaker 7: proud and and bring them championships and bring them wins,
- 28:32Speaker 7: and uh to be able to do that but also
- 28:35Speaker 7: kind of have the the following that I have is
- 28:38Speaker 7: is very very cool. Now, would I like to be
- 28:41Speaker 7: able to make a few more more plays and make
- 28:44Speaker 7: make a get us a few more wins for these
- 28:47Speaker 7: guys this fall? Absolutely, and and so that'll be fun.
- 28:50Speaker 2: A receiver room you got right now? Oh dude, it's so.
- 28:54Speaker 7: The problem is you're not getting a lot of Uh,
- 28:57Speaker 7: I think you're not getting a lot of insight into
- 29:00Speaker 7: that room because they've got to cut basically everything that
- 29:02Speaker 7: goes on in that meeting room because you can't put
- 29:04Speaker 7: the step right on air.
- 29:06Speaker 2: If you a person if you a good personnel, offensive
- 29:09Speaker 2: player of the year guy that probably should go to
- 29:11Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, that's like a coach on the
- 29:12Speaker 2: field probably Oh yeah, yeah, I mean I bring that
- 29:15Speaker 2: Upepleah he's and watch Hard Knocks. He's in she in
- 29:22Speaker 2: the in the offense all ye.
- 29:25Speaker 7: Oh my god.
- 29:25Speaker 2: Yeah, you got this kid named Horton who's healthy. Yeah,
- 29:28Speaker 2: this kid and then you got a guy Jake Bubble
- 29:30Speaker 2: that like, okay, well we need a touchdown in the
- 29:32Speaker 2: NFC Championship, gable trust this guy in the end in
- 29:34Speaker 2: the red zone, boom you get there. Yeah, And then
- 29:36Speaker 2: about honestly for being honest, like seven guys will probably
- 29:39Speaker 2: battling for one spot. Yeah, it's a hell of a run.
- 29:41Speaker 2: That's a hell of a run. We got some really the.
- 29:43Speaker 7: Best part of the personalities.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we.
- 29:45Speaker 7: Talked about a little bit earlier.
- 29:46Speaker 2: It's the best.
- 29:47Speaker 7: It's coming to work. Those guys make that fun.
- 29:49Speaker 2: I'll wrap it up to this. You get a preseason
- 29:51Speaker 2: game on Saturday, you're gonna play Oh yeah, okay, oh
- 29:54Speaker 2: yeah yeah? Is that just I mean sometimes there's people
- 29:58Speaker 2: in the media not me, No, of course not. There
- 30:02Speaker 2: are those I should call the game for Compass Rado.
- 30:05Speaker 2: So I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm excited for it. But uh,
- 30:08Speaker 2: there are like preseason all this stuff for you guys.
- 30:10Speaker 2: It's been two almost three weeks. You've been out here, right, Like,
- 30:14Speaker 2: are you ready to get out to see somebody else,
- 30:17Speaker 2: like not have to deal with these guys, not to
- 30:22Speaker 2: hit here or something like that. And then he's yapping
- 30:24Speaker 2: in your ear whether shut up.
- 30:29Speaker 7: All those guys are just annoying. The problem is they're good,
- 30:31Speaker 7: so I can't really sing him back to him.
- 30:34Speaker 2: You know what I try to get done in the
- 30:35Speaker 2: preseason game.
- 30:36Speaker 7: Well, for me, it's we talked a little bit about
- 30:39Speaker 7: my my uh first couple of weeks of camp earlier
- 30:42Speaker 7: and not being as a full participant. So for me,
- 30:45Speaker 7: I'm I'm looking forward to getting in there and banging
- 30:49Speaker 7: around a little bit and being able to to put
- 30:51Speaker 7: my body on some folks that haven't been able to
- 30:53Speaker 7: do because I've been healthy, so I haven't practiced in
- 30:56Speaker 7: however long I need as much kind of I guess
- 31:01Speaker 7: you could say, grin, just wrap up a little bit. Yeah,
- 31:04Speaker 7: let's get let's get this thing going.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Well, listen, I love having you come by. Appreciate it.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Uh it's are you gonna come to do a cracking
- 31:10Speaker 2: game with us? Cause we have you jump on set
- 31:12Speaker 2: with his? Can I get that nailed down and you'll
- 31:15Speaker 2: come back up and do pre game with us?
- 31:18Speaker 8: Oh?
- 31:18Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, we had you up there, and who
- 31:21Speaker 2: else do we have up there? Well, we gotta have you
- 31:22Speaker 2: on the set. I don't think you came on the
- 31:24Speaker 2: set with us. Yeah, no, I don't take Yeah, you
- 31:26Speaker 2: walked by. Hey, what's what I'm like?
- 31:27Speaker 5: Come?
- 31:28Speaker 2: We had we had? Barner came by. Oh did he
- 31:30Speaker 2: Well he thinks he's an offensive alignment.
- 31:31Speaker 5: Well, I mean I.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Think to a certain extent we all do. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 31:35Speaker 2: So he was there, he was He was with all
- 31:36Speaker 2: those guys and there were a couple of cores lights
- 31:38Speaker 2: that day time. I know, we'll get you out there
- 31:42Speaker 2: for a crime game this year. That's Jake Bob all right,
- 31:45Speaker 2: Jake Bobo joining us. He was on the yesterday with us.
- 31:48Speaker 2: I just wanted to get that out there. Gags. I
- 31:49Speaker 2: know there's other things going on baseball game yesterday, so
- 31:53Speaker 2: many of you may not have heard that. Good dude,
- 31:56Speaker 2: just fun guy to talk to and a big part
- 31:58Speaker 2: of what they do. And it is amazing to watching
- 32:00Speaker 2: what happened with Bobo in the offseason. I undrafted free
- 32:02Speaker 2: agent four years ago, Jess and not only did he
- 32:06Speaker 2: make a huge catch in the NFC Championship Game, he
- 32:08Speaker 2: was a big part of what they like to do
- 32:09Speaker 2: with the blocking scheme of the wide receivers. And then
- 32:12Speaker 2: when he was a free agent, there were other offers
- 32:15Speaker 2: and they had a match and all that stuff. So
- 32:17Speaker 2: he's he's on the roster just based on the contract
- 32:20Speaker 2: and the money, but he was going to be there anyway.
- 32:22Speaker 2: You had a cool story, though, and just let me
- 32:24Speaker 2: say this because I'll let you tell the story. Sure,
- 32:27Speaker 2: Jess's sister unexpectedly passed away about fourteen fifteen months ago, yep,
- 32:33Speaker 2: and with a couple of young kids as well. And
- 32:36Speaker 2: you told me that Jake Bobo is sitting one of
- 32:38Speaker 2: them some videos.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Yeah. So, my nephew's name is Bo.
- 32:42Speaker 4: He just turned eleven, but at the time of my
- 32:45Speaker 4: sister's death, he was nine, and the Seahawks organized for
- 32:50Speaker 4: Jake Bobo to send him a video. And at the time,
- 32:53Speaker 4: Bo was a huge Detroit Lions fan. And Jake did
- 32:57Speaker 4: not know why he was sending this video. The Seahawks just,
- 33:01Speaker 4: you know, you don't want to weigh that on someone.
- 33:05Speaker 4: And he said, I heard the unfortunate news and this
- 33:08Speaker 4: is me seeing the video. Oh no, please don't tell me.
- 33:10Speaker 4: He mentions it and he goes heard, you're becoming a
- 33:13Speaker 4: Detroit fan. And he's always been a huge Seahawks fan.
- 33:16Speaker 4: He's like, so we need to get that taken care
- 33:19Speaker 4: of and it was just really nice. And then also
- 33:23Speaker 4: I was in the locker room after the Super Bowl
- 33:25Speaker 4: and Jake had remembered that, and I got another video
- 33:28Speaker 4: of him right after winning the Super Bowl sending one
- 33:32Speaker 4: to say how to bow and it was just basically like.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Bo, we did it.
- 33:36Speaker 4: But the only reason was because his name is Bo
- 33:38Speaker 4: b Oh and so it was like, we need to
- 33:41Speaker 4: get him a Bobo jersey.
- 33:43Speaker 3: And at the time that we were thinking.
- 33:45Speaker 4: About it, Bobo's jerseys were not you had to get
- 33:48Speaker 4: them custom made. And now now Jake Bobo's jerseys are
- 33:54Speaker 4: probably flying off the shelves.
- 33:56Speaker 3: So yeah, anyway, I just thought that was the sweetest.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Thing, cool story, very cool story for a young fellow
- 34:01Speaker 2: that that needed something probably and probably still does a
- 34:04Speaker 2: lot of times. So that those are the little things
- 34:06Speaker 2: that athletes can do that go so far makes it.
- 34:09Speaker 3: And that's such a difference nobody ever talked about.
- 34:12Speaker 2: No, and it's a little it's a little effort, but
- 34:14Speaker 2: it goes.
- 34:15Speaker 3: A long way and unbelievable.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I had I had Cliff Favorl do a video
- 34:19Speaker 2: for a young man I knew that had torn an
- 34:21Speaker 2: acl back to back high.
- 34:22Speaker 3: School football and brutal ruts.
- 34:26Speaker 2: This was when Cliff I think it was even before
- 34:28Speaker 2: he have worked here with us, but I just knew
- 34:31Speaker 2: him from covering him and he was in studio doing
- 34:32Speaker 2: something with this one day and I asked him and
- 34:34Speaker 2: he did it and it was and I mean, I
- 34:35Speaker 2: say it. I still have the video and I just
- 34:37Speaker 2: remember I sent that to him and his parents and
- 34:39Speaker 2: it made the little difference. He's starting rehab and he's like, yeah, man,
- 34:42Speaker 2: it was cool to hear Cliff. He's like, I've gone
- 34:43Speaker 2: through that, you can do it. Blah blah blah. Really
- 34:45Speaker 2: cool stuff. So good story. We'll take a break, come back.
- 34:48Speaker 9: Uh.
- 34:49Speaker 2: Jylen Milroll will play tomorrow. What is Hugh Millan expecting?
- 34:52Speaker 2: That's next?
- 34:57Speaker 1: Now back to our live broadcast the twenty six Boeing
- 35:01Speaker 1: Classic with the Inverness on Sports Radio ninety three point
- 35:05Speaker 1: three kJ r FM.
- 35:08Speaker 2: All right with the Boeing Classic today. It's all weekend
- 35:10Speaker 2: long tickets just twenty dollars. Kids fourteen to underd free
- 35:13Speaker 2: with a paid customer. Twenty first year the Bowing Classic
- 35:17Speaker 2: really a cool event. Also, they have a long standing
- 35:21Speaker 2: history co founded by the Seattle Seahawks, Virginia Mason Franciscan Health.
- 35:25Speaker 2: So that's a charity element too. We'll talk to the
- 35:27Speaker 2: tournament director coming up at one thirty about what's going
- 35:29Speaker 2: on out here. It's kind of kolite. It's a golf
- 35:31Speaker 2: fan to saw a guy walk by with the scorecard
- 35:33Speaker 2: of the you know, the handheld one. You see Jess
- 35:35Speaker 2: on the course and the three something that's going out
- 35:37Speaker 2: in a minute as bow weekly Justin Leonard and Ernie
- 35:40Speaker 2: Els and for golf fans, all very big names going
- 35:43Speaker 2: out there playing here at still Calumme Ridge. All right,
- 35:47Speaker 2: tomorrow it's gonna be our guy, said, Drew Locke is starting,
- 35:51Speaker 2: but Jaln milroll is gonna play a lot too. No
- 35:53Speaker 2: Sam Darnold tomorrow, but those two guys will play. Locke
- 35:55Speaker 2: will start, millerro will play a lot. Milrolle has had
- 35:58Speaker 2: a really really good couple of weeks training camp. I
- 36:00Speaker 2: mean he has looked really good. And I last year
- 36:04Speaker 2: it was a massive struggle. This year looked a lot better.
- 36:07Speaker 2: So I had Hugh Millan on earlier this week and
- 36:09Speaker 2: asked him what he expects from the Seahawks third string
- 36:12Speaker 2: quarterback Jalen Milrowe.
- 36:14Speaker 10: Here's what's interesting to me if you created a pyramid
- 36:19Speaker 10: like the John Wooden pyramid of I don't know of
- 36:25Speaker 10: organizational structure, whatever you called it. If you had a
- 36:28Speaker 10: pyramid style where there's the blocks that compose quarterbacking. In
- 36:33Speaker 10: my opinion, there's a lot of things in there. You know,
- 36:35Speaker 10: quick release, you know quick feet, what have you, arm strength,
- 36:38Speaker 10: There's a lot of things where you're look at and say, yeah,
- 36:40Speaker 10: if you have those in abundance, that's going to make
- 36:43Speaker 10: you a better quarterback. But but there's really only at
- 36:47Speaker 10: the very top of the pyramid the thing that is
- 36:50Speaker 10: non negotiable that you can't You cannot cite a quarterback
- 36:54Speaker 10: who didn't have this all the other things I can.
- 36:57Speaker 10: I can cite you quarterbacks with big, long releases, you
- 37:01Speaker 10: know Randall Cunningham, I could cite you quarterbacks that didn't
- 37:04Speaker 10: have quick feet. Uh, you know, Tom Brady, I could,
- 37:07Speaker 10: I could even cite you. This sounds like, you know,
- 37:09Speaker 10: it's gonna hurt your your football soul. But but guys
- 37:12Speaker 10: that weren't great leaders. Jay Cutler made a Pro Bowl,
- 37:16Speaker 10: Joe Thaisman won a Super Bowl. I mean, you know
- 37:19Speaker 10: a lot of teammates reportedly couldn't stand that guy like so,
- 37:23Speaker 10: but there's one thing you cannot show me any quarterback
- 37:26Speaker 10: who was successful who didn't process throw it to the
- 37:29Speaker 10: right guy at the right time with accuracy and the pair.
- 37:33Speaker 10: And the paradox with Jaylen miro guys is that if
- 37:37Speaker 10: you and you know, I studied him hard before the draft,
- 37:41Speaker 10: and then I started studied him even more after the draft.
- 37:44Speaker 10: I've looked at every rep of him at Alabama, And
- 37:48Speaker 10: the paradox is that Milroe gives you in spades all
- 37:53Speaker 10: of the other things, the leadership, the strong arm, the
- 37:57Speaker 10: quick feel like all the things that you want. But
- 38:00Speaker 10: you it's not mandatory. You know, there's there's uh necessary
- 38:06Speaker 10: conditions and sufficient conditions. The necessary condition is throw it
- 38:10Speaker 10: to the right guy at the right time with accuracy.
- 38:14Speaker 10: And that's Those are the aspects of him that are
- 38:18Speaker 10: the worst on on his scouting report. All the other
- 38:21Speaker 10: things that you want but don't need, he's great. The
- 38:25Speaker 10: two things that you need non negotiable. That's the worst part.
- 38:29Speaker 11: Of his game.
- 38:30Speaker 10: So it's a great Petri dish about coaching and whether
- 38:34Speaker 10: or not he can improve from college to the pros
- 38:37Speaker 10: on the on the most important aspects of quarterbacking. So
- 38:41Speaker 10: we're gonna get a lot of you know, we're gonna
- 38:43Speaker 10: get three pretty long looks at this guy. And no, no, no, no,
- 38:47Speaker 10: just you know, watch it from that perspective for a second,
- 38:50Speaker 10: because you're gonna see all those things. You're gonna see
- 38:52Speaker 10: the beautiful athleticism. And by the way, he's the hell
- 38:54Speaker 10: of a leader. I had a long talk with his
- 38:57Speaker 10: head coach, uh and and his head coach raves about
- 39:00Speaker 10: him as a leader, and so you know, but but
- 39:08Speaker 10: there again, how is he throwing to the right guy?
- 39:11Speaker 10: And is he throwing at the right time. That's the
- 39:14Speaker 10: difficulty of quarterbacking is can you see the movie before
- 39:17Speaker 10: it happens. I can't say that enough. You can put
- 39:19Speaker 10: it on a loop and repeat me ten times. If
- 39:21Speaker 10: you want to know my opinion, you have to see
- 39:24Speaker 10: the movie before it happens. There's a lot of moving
- 39:28Speaker 10: parts out there. And when you when your mind sees
- 39:31Speaker 10: what the defense looks and you say green light, go,
- 39:34Speaker 10: I'm going to throw it out to that spot. You know,
- 39:36Speaker 10: football players don't throw footballs at one hundred miles an
- 39:39Speaker 10: hour like baseball pitchers. Football players throw footballs at about
- 39:42Speaker 10: fifty five miles an hour, which means the ball is
- 39:46Speaker 10: on a relative scale floating, which means defenders can move
- 39:50Speaker 10: a lot to react to the ball right And and
- 39:55Speaker 10: you know the ball is only in the air for
- 39:57Speaker 10: twenty yards for a pitcher, and it's going one hundred
- 39:59Speaker 10: miles an ho you know the ball can be in
- 40:01Speaker 10: there for thirty five yards and it's going.
- 40:04Speaker 2: Half the speed.
- 40:05Speaker 10: So you have to be able to say, if I
- 40:07Speaker 10: throw to that guy into that spot, all of these
- 40:11Speaker 10: players in his vicinity are gonna move a lot. What's
- 40:16Speaker 10: their vertical leverage, what's their horizontal leverage, where's their hips?
- 40:19Speaker 8: Where?
- 40:20Speaker 10: What's their personnel? How much have I studied? How much
- 40:22Speaker 10: can that guy ground? Can that guy cover? You have
- 40:25Speaker 10: to processes numerous factors in a hideously short amount of time,
- 40:31Speaker 10: far less than a second, far less than a half
- 40:33Speaker 10: of a second. And so that's why there's only about
- 40:36Speaker 10: fifteen guys on the planet out of thirty eight million
- 40:39Speaker 10: American men aged twenty two to thirty eight. Yeah, I
- 40:42Speaker 10: just picked that. It does seem like the range that
- 40:45Speaker 10: you'd have quarterbacks. I know there's some outside of that,
- 40:48Speaker 10: but there's thirty eight million Americans and there's less than
- 40:51Speaker 10: one in every two million. You've heard the say saying
- 40:53Speaker 10: one in a million, there's not even one and two
- 40:56Speaker 10: million that can play quarterback well at the end off
- 41:00Speaker 10: well because of the things that I'm talking about right here,
- 41:03Speaker 10: and and so Jalen Milroe, the biggest questions marks about
- 41:08Speaker 10: him coming out of Alabama are in the aspects that
- 41:11Speaker 10: are most important for success in the position in my opinion.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Talking with about Jalen Milroe and and what's going on
- 41:18Speaker 2: with him tomorrow again, they're going to rotate the quarterbacks.
- 41:20Speaker 2: Interesting and Mike McDonald said today Locke will start, Millell
- 41:23Speaker 2: comes in. They'll kind of alternate series or every couple series.
- 41:26Speaker 2: So no Sam Donald, but Drew Locke and Jalen Milroe
- 41:29Speaker 2: plenty of opportunities tomorrow. And I'm i for one, really
- 41:32Speaker 2: curious to see if Milroe has indeed taken the step
- 41:35Speaker 2: forward that we think he has. Watching him in training
- 41:37Speaker 2: camp as we have the last few weeks, he's a
- 41:39Speaker 2: he's a guy that they frankly they I mean they
- 41:44Speaker 2: want him to do that. And he doesn't have to
- 41:46Speaker 2: do anything this year. You're the Thurston quarterback. Just get better,
- 41:49Speaker 2: just keep developing and get better. Think of it like
- 41:51Speaker 2: you're playing in you know, Triple A Baseball or the
- 41:53Speaker 2: American Hockey League, something like that. Okay, we'll take a break,
- 41:55Speaker 2: come back, let's get Danny O'Neil is going to join us.
- 41:58Speaker 2: He's got a lot on his mind, Baby, he'll What
- 42:00Speaker 2: is coming up next.

- 42:31Speaker 2: to the Truman director. Coming up at one thirty today.
- 42:34Speaker 2: Seahawks adding some drama to the preseason. They have signed
- 42:38Speaker 2: free agent quarterback Terry and Arnold, Yes, former first round
- 42:41Speaker 2: pick of the Lions who caught him after he was
- 42:43Speaker 2: charged with eight felony charges, four each for kidnapping and burglary.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Whether or not he's able to play for the Seahaws
- 42:49Speaker 2: remains to be seen. Mike McDonnell talked about it today.
- 42:52Speaker 2: Wasn't too specific, but the bottom line is he'll help
- 42:55Speaker 2: him if he can play. That's the question. Can't he
- 42:57Speaker 2: played preseason game tomorrow? By the Way against the Dallas
- 43:00Speaker 2: Cowboys five o'clock Luminfield. It'll be Drew Locke starting at quarterback.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Jalen Milroll as well. Sam Darnold will not play, neither
- 43:06Speaker 2: will Jjarian Price. Neither will Derek Hall. Most of the
- 43:09Speaker 2: starters are out tomorrow. Manuel Wilson also out. Halani will
- 43:12Speaker 2: be running back, but he won't play much because they're
- 43:15Speaker 2: really short in some spots. Right now, breaking news from baseball.
- 43:19Speaker 2: The Mariners won yesterday. Yes, they did, first time in
- 43:22Speaker 2: seven games, one nothing Yankee Stadium, West and Wilson hit
- 43:26Speaker 2: the solo home run. Logan Gilbert and the bullpen were great.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Bizarto Ferrar and Munno's all scoreless innings pitched. Next up
- 43:33Speaker 2: five o'clock today, George Kirby and Houston against the first
- 43:35Speaker 2: placed Astros. Ms right now are five and a half
- 43:38Speaker 2: out of first place. Cold Emerson demoted to Triple A

- 44:30Speaker 2: Northwest Handling Systems. Hello, Danny O'Neill, how are you.
- 44:34Speaker 11: I'm doing well?
- 44:35Speaker 5: Ian?
- 44:35Speaker 4: I was.
- 44:35Speaker 9: I was flying the flag a Mariner's jersey and cap
- 44:39Speaker 9: yesterday out at Yankee Stadium. Wasn't I wasn't the only one,
- 44:43Speaker 9: but there were there were a few of us, the few,
- 44:45Speaker 9: the proud there that they refuse to turtle and die.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Was that the only game you attended of the three
- 44:54Speaker 2: of the three yes, I picked the right one. You
- 44:58Speaker 2: maybe should have gone to the other two. Maybe it
- 44:59Speaker 2: would have helped, maybe a little good luck ury on
- 45:01Speaker 2: or something along the way.
- 45:03Speaker 5: It's my fault.
- 45:06Speaker 2: That was by the way, that was that was Marin
- 45:09Speaker 2: or baseball in a nutshell, Danny, Like that was Mariner
- 45:11Speaker 2: baseball in a nutshell right there? Like, like, how do
- 45:14Speaker 2: you win a game? Great pitching, bullpen is good and
- 45:17Speaker 2: you just need to scratch it just one and a
- 45:19Speaker 2: home run wins it for you. Because I don't know
- 45:21Speaker 2: if you know this, they don't win unless they hit
- 45:24Speaker 2: a home run. First of all, I they only have
- 45:26Speaker 2: eight wins. They only have eight wins this season. When
- 45:29Speaker 2: they don't hit a home run. If they hit a
- 45:31Speaker 2: home run, they got a chance. If they don't hit
- 45:33Speaker 2: a home run, they don't. So they hit the one
- 45:34Speaker 2: and then Gilbert was great. But man, I got to
- 45:38Speaker 2: ask you this. But we've talked about them a lot
- 45:40Speaker 2: this year. This was a topic a big topic for
- 45:44Speaker 2: us this week on my show, and the Softy kind
- 45:46Speaker 2: of hit on it as well. I know Andrews and
- 45:48Speaker 2: I talked about it a bunch, and there is a
- 45:52Speaker 2: weird vibe here, Danny with this baseball team. And I'm
- 45:55Speaker 2: trying to think back if it's if it's always been
- 45:58Speaker 2: this way. It may maybe my recency bias last year
- 46:02Speaker 2: when they were so you know, when they have them run,
- 46:04Speaker 2: everyone's in love with them in the playoffs and all themmentum.
- 46:07Speaker 2: But this people do not like this baseball team. And
- 46:10Speaker 2: that's a very general blanket term. But they just don't
- 46:13Speaker 2: let People are just done. They're pissed. And maybe it's
- 46:15Speaker 2: just because they haven't lived up to expectations. But I
- 46:18Speaker 2: don't know how to read it. I feel like there's
- 46:20Speaker 2: people rooting against them right now. It's just an odd,
- 46:22Speaker 2: odd feel for this team right now.
- 46:25Speaker 9: Well, I think that last weekend series of games against
- 46:29Speaker 9: Campa Bay and the contrast, because watching from Afar, you
- 46:34Speaker 9: could feel the hostility and you could hear the hostility,
- 46:38Speaker 9: and that is that is different. It's we we've watched
- 46:42Speaker 9: bad baseball before, and we've been frustrated by bad baseball before.
- 46:46Speaker 11: And maybe it was the.
- 46:47Speaker 9: Contrast between how well the Mariners do the presentation side
- 46:53Speaker 9: of their team, their history the game, and how poorly
- 46:57Speaker 9: they've executed this season. Or maybe it's just that we
- 47:01Speaker 9: are a meaner society now. That Twitter and the Internet
- 47:04Speaker 9: and politics and everything is just made us all collectively meaner,
- 47:07Speaker 9: which is possible, a distinct possibility. But I would agree
- 47:12Speaker 9: with you that the feelings that people have had and
- 47:17Speaker 9: the way people feel towards the Mariner team is different
- 47:21Speaker 9: than what we've usually seen, you know what.
- 47:24Speaker 2: And the more I think of that, because it's translating
- 47:27Speaker 2: to you on TV across the country. I went Sunday.
- 47:29Speaker 2: I didn't go Friday Saturday, but I went Sunday to
- 47:32Speaker 2: the game. And I think there's two different And maybe
- 47:36Speaker 2: this is just always the case, and we get somewhat
- 47:38Speaker 2: insulated with sports radio or newspapers or media sports media,
- 47:43Speaker 2: but I think there's two different kind of schools of thought.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Are I'm not two different fan bases, is what I mean.
- 47:51Speaker 2: And here's what Here's what I mean. There are those
- 47:53Speaker 2: that are just happy to beat the ballpark, sticking around.
- 47:55Speaker 2: They're watching the old guy. I mean, we're at the
- 47:58Speaker 2: Champions Tour. I'm doing my show here at the Champions two.
- 48:00Speaker 2: Or we had that version of the Champions Tour home
- 48:02Speaker 2: run derby on Friday and Julio's out there. They get
- 48:05Speaker 2: you know, they get beat. They don't score it's just
- 48:08Speaker 2: an awful game, and Huio's out there spinning tunes in
- 48:11Speaker 2: the outfield. People are having fun, parting it up like
- 48:13Speaker 2: it's New Year's even New York City, and they're watching
- 48:16Speaker 2: the old guys try to hit home runs. But then
- 48:18Speaker 2: there's the and those fans are like whatever, we're kind
- 48:21Speaker 2: of oblivious. The die hard other fans are like, I'm
- 48:24Speaker 2: just done. I'm fed up. I'm fed up with Dan
- 48:27Speaker 2: Wilson as a manager of the front office, ownership, underachieving teams,
- 48:31Speaker 2: no World Series. It feels like there's two very different
- 48:33Speaker 2: factions of fans, and maybe that's the same for all teams.
- 48:39Speaker 9: I think it's a very good observation and I would
- 48:41Speaker 9: tend to agree. There is something that is hard about
- 48:46Speaker 9: watching a team that you that is costing you pain
- 48:52Speaker 9: and feeling that the players and managers or that they're
- 48:57Speaker 9: not feeling it, that they're somehow oblivious to how frustrated
- 49:01Speaker 9: you are. Now, I've been in enough locker rooms and
- 49:04Speaker 9: clubhouses to know that that's that that's not accurate. The
- 49:10Speaker 9: players suffer, like when the players are not playing well,
- 49:13Speaker 9: when the team is suffering. I can count on one
- 49:16Speaker 9: hand the number of guys that I've come across that
- 49:18Speaker 9: are truly oblivious to that frustration that they're like whatever,
- 49:25Speaker 9: I go to my job nine to five and I
- 49:27Speaker 9: check out if you but it is it is very frustrating.
- 49:31Speaker 9: I do think I think the division comes between people
- 49:36Speaker 9: who believe in the loop Panela light a fire under
- 49:40Speaker 9: your butt, fire and Brimstone, maybe a little Mike Holndrin,
- 49:44Speaker 9: and maybe, if we're being honest, a little bit of
- 49:46Speaker 9: Mike McDonald too, a little bit of that art, that
- 49:50Speaker 9: hard edge personality that that's what you need to get
- 49:55Speaker 9: out of a funk. And then on the other side
- 49:58Speaker 9: is more of the Peat Carroll, who was not someone
- 50:02Speaker 9: who coached via fear and intimidation and really went through
- 50:06Speaker 9: positive reinforcement. And that that's kind of the division that exists.
- 50:12Speaker 9: And there's merits to both approaches, and there are drawbacks
- 50:17Speaker 9: to both approaches, and in the current situation, the maritors
- 50:20Speaker 9: find themselves in the people who want a little more
- 50:24Speaker 9: anger and speeches that will blister paint off the walls,
- 50:28Speaker 9: and not the John McClair in two thousand and eight
- 50:32Speaker 9: made for TV special, but really like Al Paccino any
- 50:37Speaker 9: given Sunday, The.
- 50:38Speaker 11: Inches all around us.
- 50:40Speaker 8: I want to know who will fight that itch, give
- 50:42Speaker 8: me that edge.
- 50:43Speaker 9: We want a little more of that.
- 50:46Speaker 2: You know, this is why I love having these conversations
- 50:48Speaker 2: every Friday with Danie O'Neil, because I just the more
- 50:50Speaker 2: you talk to more, I'm kind of okay, I'm thinking
- 50:52Speaker 2: more and more. Oh, let's this is probably exactly why we,
- 50:58Speaker 2: as you discussed this, This is probably exactly why we
- 51:02Speaker 2: see coaches, managers, what have you, that are that are
- 51:08Speaker 2: just at the shelf life wears out. And I'll give
- 51:12Speaker 2: you the example. So last I went back this week
- 51:16Speaker 2: and I was looking at and when they got rid
- 51:17Speaker 2: of service? And why did they get rid of service?
- 51:20Speaker 2: And what was written, what was said, and the general
- 51:25Speaker 2: tone was that the heavy hand a service. You know,
- 51:29Speaker 2: maybe it started with him chastising cal for criticizing the
- 51:33Speaker 2: you know, Sea Walter, whatever it was, but the heavy
- 51:36Speaker 2: hand a service maybe was just wearing thin guys weren't
- 51:40Speaker 2: like they were tuning them out. Whatever it might have been,
- 51:42Speaker 2: it was just time to make a change. They brought
- 51:44Speaker 2: in the easy going, affable, fun players coach never gonna
- 51:50Speaker 2: yell or scream, Dan Wilson, and then they you know,
- 51:53Speaker 2: for a couple of years it's worked, but now it's
- 51:56Speaker 2: not working. Do you go back to a heavy hand again?
- 51:58Speaker 2: Do you need do you need that different voice you
- 52:01Speaker 2: mentioned Pete Carroll, Pete coming off of I mean, let's
- 52:04Speaker 2: remember what Pete replaced big man, and we love, we
- 52:07Speaker 2: all love Mike, love Mike to death. I consider Mike
- 52:11Speaker 2: a friend. He's been on with us and has done
- 52:13Speaker 2: worked at our station forever. And I love Mike. Mike Holmgren.
- 52:16Speaker 2: We also had you and I and everybody else in
- 52:18Speaker 2: the media. It's been around for a while. We've covered
- 52:20Speaker 2: enough Mike Holmgren practice is know that the big fella,
- 52:24Speaker 2: he might be great with us, but there were times.
- 52:27Speaker 2: Matt will tell you that, right, Walter will tell you that,
- 52:31Speaker 2: topy I will say that he ruled with that heavy,
- 52:34Speaker 2: heavy hand, and Tim like and Mike was that was way. Well,
- 52:37Speaker 2: then you replace Mike with a worse version in Jim Morin.
- 52:42Speaker 2: Well then you bring Pete in and well you couldn't
- 52:45Speaker 2: be different, right, But then the Pete shelf life wore off, right,
- 52:49Speaker 2: the Pete shelf life wore off, and you needed to
- 52:52Speaker 2: go back to a guy that was somewhere in between.
- 52:55Speaker 2: That's why I just think the Dan Wilson thing, it
- 52:57Speaker 2: may have just run its course. I mean, people want
- 52:59Speaker 2: to complain of and rightfully so baseball nerds, Danny. You
- 53:02Speaker 2: know these guys, they'll complain about the bullpen usage and
- 53:05Speaker 2: all these types of things. And hell they were doing
- 53:07Speaker 2: on the on the national broadcast the other night, Like
- 53:08Speaker 2: what the hell is he doing? We've been doing that
- 53:10Speaker 2: for a while. But maybe it's just you need a
- 53:12Speaker 2: different voice. And maybe, as you were saying that, Danny,
- 53:14Speaker 2: that really kind of came to me a lot. Maybe
- 53:16Speaker 2: sometimes you just need a different voice.
- 53:19Speaker 9: I do think that you need somebody in your locker room,
- 53:23Speaker 9: and it doesn't have to be the coach, but I
- 53:26Speaker 9: do believe that you need somebody that has an edge
- 53:29Speaker 9: that is a little bit unpredictable, that scares opponents. But
- 53:34Speaker 9: also sometimes the guys that are that are in the clubhouse.
- 53:38Speaker 9: Pete was never that guy, but they had guys in
- 53:40Speaker 9: that locker room that were and I think Sherman and
- 53:42Speaker 9: Marshawn Lynch were probably the two that that fell into that.
- 53:46Speaker 9: I do believe that Mike Holmgrid had a presence, and
- 53:50Speaker 9: I don't want to I will never say he mellowed
- 53:52Speaker 9: because he was always a demanding coach, but he certainly
- 53:57Speaker 9: the edge that he manded a level of execution, especially
- 54:02Speaker 9: from the offense that had guys on edge, and lou
- 54:07Speaker 9: Loupandellas certainly did that with the Mariners. You knew when
- 54:11Speaker 9: he was mad at the team when he would address
- 54:13Speaker 9: a reporter as sir and tell you to go ask
- 54:16Speaker 9: the players, sir, go ask the players. And I do
- 54:23Speaker 9: think I'm I would if they if they decided to
- 54:26Speaker 9: make a change manager. I'm not going to lay down
- 54:29Speaker 9: and say, oh, I don't think they should. I think
- 54:31Speaker 9: that there are a lot of faults that we've seen
- 54:33Speaker 9: in the way that Dan Wilson has managed in game,
- 54:37Speaker 9: and that that could be a change that I don't
- 54:40Speaker 9: I'm not convinced that a change is necessary, but I'm
- 54:44Speaker 9: not going to object to a change either. But I
- 54:45Speaker 9: will say, if you're not going to change the manager
- 54:48Speaker 9: and bring in someone with more of an edge, you
- 54:50Speaker 9: absolutely need to have a change in the chemistry of
- 54:54Speaker 9: the clubhouse and bring someone in there. I think Josh
- 54:56Speaker 9: Naylor has some of that edge. I think he's a
- 54:58Speaker 9: pretty pretty Hence competitor. But they I think good teams
- 55:03Speaker 9: need need somebody that provides that little bit of volatility
- 55:07Speaker 9: and that really demanding and sometimes kind of a buttthead
- 55:11Speaker 9: about the way that they expect it.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, and I think it just goes back
- 55:15Speaker 2: to it like sometimes you just you need a change
- 55:18Speaker 2: for change sake. I mean, you just it's it's gonna happen,
- 55:22Speaker 2: it needs to happen.
- 55:24Speaker 4: Uh.
- 55:24Speaker 2: And this this team is it looks at times like
- 55:29Speaker 2: it's like it's lifeless, right, they just look lifeless out there.
- 55:32Speaker 2: And you know, and I like yelling and screaming only
- 55:35Speaker 2: goes so far. But you said it well, because yeah,
- 55:38Speaker 2: you're right. When when Pete was here, they just had
- 55:41Speaker 2: so many those alpha males, Marshawn and sherm as you mentioned.
- 55:45Speaker 2: I mean they were even got Red Bryant, as you
- 55:47Speaker 2: well know, was a big leader on that football the
- 55:49Speaker 2: championship team, like they you know, and then you had
- 55:52Speaker 2: Mike and Cliff and kJ Bobby. You had different types
- 55:54Speaker 2: of leaders. And then on the on the offensive side,
- 55:57Speaker 2: you had a guy like Doug Baldwin. You know, you
- 55:59Speaker 2: didn't even need the like we're I'm faring off all
- 56:01Speaker 2: these names. I don't even get to the quarterback, right,
- 56:03Speaker 2: Like you don't need any like it's all these other
- 56:05Speaker 2: guys McDonald, I think we're seeing a nice glimpse of
- 56:08Speaker 2: probably that happ that medium in between Mike Holmgren and
- 56:12Speaker 2: Pete Carroll and and so far it's it's been working.
- 56:16Speaker 2: I think McVeigh probably has that a little bit too.
- 56:18Speaker 2: In in La those are what the great Andy Reid
- 56:20Speaker 2: has his own way of doing things. In the case
- 56:22Speaker 2: of the Mariner, is it just it's a team that
- 56:25Speaker 2: just looks they look lost at times. I mean, they
- 56:28Speaker 2: did win yesterday, And I'll ask you this, are they
- 56:31Speaker 2: still in it in your mind? Because there's a lot
- 56:33Speaker 2: of people in this town that have just basically lost
- 56:35Speaker 2: lost faith and say, I'm just glad football seasons here.
- 56:38Speaker 2: But I mean, the math tells you they're still in it.
- 56:41Speaker 2: But do your eyes tell you they're still in it?
- 56:45Speaker 9: No, my eyes tell me they're not still in it.
- 56:48Speaker 9: But my unrepentant, inveterate glutton for punishment tells me I'm
- 56:52Speaker 9: gonna watch until the bubbles stop coming up.
- 56:55Speaker 5: But no, they've given us.
- 56:56Speaker 8: To believe they will win, which is.
- 56:59Speaker 9: Precisely why they might pull it out of their hind parts.
- 57:01Speaker 9: But no, they know there's nothing I've seen from them.
- 57:05Speaker 9: I am not holding out like maybe that this will
- 57:08Speaker 9: turn it around. I just there's nothing we've seen from
- 57:12Speaker 9: them that suggests that that's that's.
- 57:14Speaker 11: In the offing at all.
- 57:16Speaker 2: Danie o'nil joining us part to by Northwest Handling Systems.
- 57:18Speaker 2: Big thanks Eric Gordon the folks at Northwest Handling Systems
- 57:21Speaker 2: bringing us daniy o'eil every Friday, Danny. The Seahawks have
- 57:25Speaker 2: signed Terry and Arnold, the cornerback who was released by
- 57:27Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions the first round pick and was released
- 57:30Speaker 2: when he was charged with eight felony counts with They're
- 57:33Speaker 2: not getting too specific about it and they still have
- 57:35Speaker 2: to wait to see how things play out, not just
- 57:36Speaker 2: in the legal system, but as you well know, the
- 57:38Speaker 2: NFL has its own legal system. I brought this up earlier.
- 57:43Speaker 2: I think it's an interesting signing. I think it's also
- 57:45Speaker 2: one that, honestly from a football standpoint, even from an
- 57:48Speaker 2: organization standpoint, there's probably those who'll look at it and say, well,
- 57:51Speaker 2: really bad move by the Seahawks, and none that I
- 57:54Speaker 2: look at it differently. I'm not giving them credit and
- 57:57Speaker 2: not forgiving or anything. I just we don't know. To me,
- 58:00Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, if the guy's exonerated, like, let's just
- 58:03Speaker 2: say he's exonerated, and his name got drugged in with
- 58:07Speaker 2: a bunch of other dudes that were doing some really
- 58:08Speaker 2: bad things and really he had nothing to do with it. Well,
- 58:12Speaker 2: you just signed a first round talent at a most
- 58:15Speaker 2: important position in the NFL, not named quarterback, on the
- 58:18Speaker 2: defensive side, at least in a cornerback that helps your
- 58:21Speaker 2: football team for a minimum salary. That's just a great
- 58:23Speaker 2: football move and it's kind of a low risk, high
- 58:26Speaker 2: reward because there's no risk. If he gets they don't
- 58:30Speaker 2: have to pay him. They're not paying a big money
- 58:32Speaker 2: and if he plays here, it costs him nothing. And
- 58:33Speaker 2: if he does play here, he helps him. I kind
- 58:35Speaker 2: of look at it that way.
- 58:36Speaker 9: How do you look at it, Yeah, very similarly from
- 58:40Speaker 9: a football perspective in that this makes all the sense
- 58:43Speaker 9: in the world for Seattle. And yes, some people will
- 58:46Speaker 9: look at it and say they're willing to overlook this.
- 58:48Speaker 9: At the same time, I'm not going to go and
- 58:50Speaker 9: give credit to the Detroit Lions for like, oh, that's
- 58:52Speaker 9: a team that holds players accountable, because I think if
- 58:56Speaker 9: he'd been a better player, if he had been not
- 58:59Speaker 9: committed to many plies his her key year and been
- 59:02Speaker 9: a better player, that they might not have cut him.
- 59:03Speaker 9: That it was a matter of, Hey, this guy hasn't
- 59:05Speaker 9: played up to what we expected when we drafted him
- 59:08Speaker 9: in the first round and he's in this trouble, Like,
- 59:10Speaker 9: let's get him out of here. I think the bigger question,
- 59:13Speaker 9: and this is this probably reflects the amount of time
- 59:18Speaker 9: that I've spent covering these things, is that I don't
- 59:23Speaker 9: know what constitutes a success in these sort of things.
- 59:28Speaker 9: If he never gets in trouble again, is it a
- 59:32Speaker 9: successful signing, Because from a citizenship standpoint, that should be
- 59:36Speaker 9: the most important thing, right, And I thought this to
- 59:39Speaker 9: a certain extent when they brought in other players that
- 59:42Speaker 9: we had been either charged and maybe not convicted or
- 59:45Speaker 9: had things dismissed. Is like, Okay, is it really a
- 59:49Speaker 9: situation where one transgression, in this case, one that has
- 59:54Speaker 9: led to eight selony charges that the mere fact that
- 59:57Speaker 9: he's been charged is disqual fun because that doesn't seem
- 1:00:02Speaker 9: entirely fair to me.
- 1:00:04Speaker 11: But at the same time, that question of oh, if.
- 1:00:06Speaker 9: He's found not guilty, well, that doesn't mean to me
- 1:00:08Speaker 9: that he's totally innocent either. So it gets into this
- 1:00:11Speaker 9: very confusing area of how do you evaluate what is
- 1:00:16Speaker 9: a success? And for me, I look at it and say,
- 1:00:22Speaker 9: this is the kind of decision that NFL teams make,
- 1:00:25Speaker 9: and the Seahawks and NFL teams by and large are
- 1:00:28Speaker 9: more similar than they are different when it comes to
- 1:00:32Speaker 9: the moral equivocation and sort of law and order practices
- 1:00:35Speaker 9: that they all. Everybody makes hedges, everybody makes accommodation, and
- 1:00:41Speaker 9: it is always dependent on the level of talent. And
- 1:00:44Speaker 9: then they'll say, hey, we believe in the guy's character
- 1:00:46Speaker 9: and he deserves the second chance. I can't say they're
- 1:00:48Speaker 9: wrong about it. I also know that that is an
- 1:00:51Speaker 9: exceptionally convenient approach to have when it comes to getting
- 1:00:55Speaker 9: a former first round pick on your team for a
- 1:00:58Speaker 9: minimum salary.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: So I.
- 1:01:02Speaker 9: Don't object to the signing and I don't have a
- 1:01:05Speaker 9: problem with it, but I also think that it just
- 1:01:08Speaker 9: shows that all teams kind of behave with this mo
- 1:01:10Speaker 9: when it comes to the sort of consideration.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: If I was being if I'm being one hundred percent honest,
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: I would have rather they not sign him. I's just
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: I just let somebody else deal with it. And but
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: at the same time they have enough equity they can
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: John Schneider does, and there is a you know, John Schneider,
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: I never would never, you know, sign some of that
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: hit a woman or anything like that. Well, Frank Clark
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: got dropped three months later, right, So Greg Bell. Greg
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: Bell has a great line he uses all the time.
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: And I don't know if he made it up or
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: somebody else did, but it's I think the line is
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: very true. In the NFL, Danny, football always wins out.
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: Football always wins out. And this is not a league
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: filled with guys that There's some dudes in this league
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: that probably have done some pretty bad things, right, Like,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: that's just it's the sport itself is a violent sport.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: You have a different mindset than some other sports. And
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: that's just that's that's the reality.
- 1:02:04Speaker 5: Now.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: We also live in a world I mentioned this earlier
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: to Jess. We live in a world now where you
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: can be accused of something, and just in social media,
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: the internet's as small a world as we live in now.
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: You can be accused of something and be completely one
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: hundred percent innocent, but yet you're always going to be
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: painting with the brush of being guilty, right, And that's
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: and so I'm not saying Terry and Arnold's guilty, but
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: I am curious to see how this thing plays out.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: If he plays here. I still think the NFL is
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: going to suspend him, Like I just I can't imagine
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: you've been recovered this lead bazillion years. I can't imagine
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: that he's going to be eligible League one even if
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: something gets dropped, can you?
- 1:02:47Speaker 9: I don't know. And this is yeah, because I want
- 1:02:50Speaker 9: to agree with you. I want to say, like absolutely,
- 1:02:52Speaker 9: it's eight felay and the accusation and when you read
- 1:02:56Speaker 9: through the charging documents, which I have, that the allegation
- 1:02:59Speaker 9: is if he wasn't there, but they have text messages
- 1:03:02Speaker 9: showing that he was aware that there might have been
- 1:03:04Speaker 9: spacetime video to coordinate with that. That gets into a
- 1:03:08Speaker 9: whole separate question of how do you know who's on
- 1:03:10Speaker 9: the other end of the phone. But that so I'm
- 1:03:13Speaker 9: tempted to say, like, yeah, I don't think they will,
- 1:03:15Speaker 9: but I really don't know. In the NFL, as much
- 1:03:19Speaker 9: as the teams do tend to govern and make decisions
- 1:03:23Speaker 9: based upon sort of public reaction to it, how mad
- 1:03:27Speaker 9: are people going to be if he plays, and that's
- 1:03:33Speaker 9: I think that's a terrible.
- 1:03:34Speaker 11: Way to govern.
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: I really do.
- 1:03:36Speaker 9: I hate the idea that you cater to. It should
- 1:03:40Speaker 9: be in questions of criminality and right and wrong. It
- 1:03:43Speaker 9: should be a case of what the actual facts of
- 1:03:47Speaker 9: the case are. And if I would say, if you
- 1:03:50Speaker 9: were going to have a totally ethical and moral employment code,
- 1:03:54Speaker 9: it would be is player X, who is accused of
- 1:03:58Speaker 9: these things he eligible to be employed with us? I
- 1:04:02Speaker 9: don't want to hear about his skill level or how
- 1:04:04Speaker 9: good he is, or how good he has to be
- 1:04:05Speaker 9: to authetic. Is what he's been accused of doing or
- 1:04:08Speaker 9: what he's been founded on? Is that disqualified? Do we
- 1:04:11Speaker 9: have to take him off?
- 1:04:12Speaker 8: And it's it's a.
- 1:04:15Speaker 9: Case by case basis in almost everything when it comes
- 1:04:18Speaker 9: to those and I feel like the NFL is the
- 1:04:20Speaker 9: same way of we're going to see how people react
- 1:04:24Speaker 9: and then we'll make a decision. And so in that case,
- 1:04:28Speaker 9: I just I don't know. It certainly would not surprise
- 1:04:30Speaker 9: me if the NFL came down and said we're not
- 1:04:32Speaker 9: going to have a player who has eight SELNY counts
- 1:04:35Speaker 9: outstanding what is alleged to be a violent crime on
- 1:04:38Speaker 9: the field. I could also see a situation where they
- 1:04:41Speaker 9: do the we're going to let the legal course play out,
- 1:04:43Speaker 9: which is code for like, well, he has until this
- 1:04:48Speaker 9: case is adjudicated before we punish it.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: Case by case is a great way to put as
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: you just said, I think that's a great way to
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: put it. The case no, case, no, nothing is the same,
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: and we can't always have blanket policies. All right, dang apostrophe,
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: how can people get it?
- 1:05:05Speaker 9: Go to Danny O'Neil dot com. You'll see a smiling
- 1:05:08Speaker 9: picture of me standing next to a filthy subway entrant.

- 1:06:10Speaker 2: They teed off on ten. That's Rory Sabatini, Joe Durant
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: and Tommy Gainey's Tommy got two gloves out there? It
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: is that? Is that two gloves?
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: It's too good? Yes, okay. There fun some big names
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: out here, a bunch of Hall of famers as well.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: Freddy Couples teet off just a short time ago. Ryan
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Ingles is the Classic Boeing Classic tournament director. He's been
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: here for nineteen years. You've been the director for the
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: last four or five years. For all of us that
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: love the game of golf, we know what this is about.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: We know the names. It's fun to come up and
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: watch them hit on the range or just follow them around.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: For someone who's listening right now as a casual fan,
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: why do they need to come up here this weekend?
- 1:06:43Speaker 6: There's so much stuff to do, not just golf, you know, obviously,
- 1:06:46Speaker 6: hanging out with hospitality, walking walk in the grounds. Let
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: me take a look at this view for those who
- 1:06:50Speaker 6: can't see staring atm ount Side, it is just an
- 1:06:54Speaker 6: Epicsini scenery. So we have, you know, things that the
- 1:06:58Speaker 6: Seahawks Village for instance, they're one of our family partners,
- 1:07:00Speaker 6: so they've been involved with it for the last twenty
- 1:07:02Speaker 6: one years as well, where there's kids, interactive things. We
- 1:07:05Speaker 6: are scavenger hunts that we do out here for folks
- 1:07:07Speaker 6: that might be not be the avid golf fan, but
- 1:07:10Speaker 6: still allow them to come and spend the afternoon with us.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: The great thing about this is the level of play
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: and just looking here. I mentioned the Hall of famers
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: Freddie vj Ernie Els, but you've got a ton of
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: major winners out here, guys like Mike Weir and others.
- 1:07:26Speaker 6: How good is this year's feel it's one of the
- 1:07:28Speaker 6: best we've had. Actually, we're twenty six of the top
- 1:07:31Speaker 6: thirty that play for the Schwap Cup towards the end
- 1:07:34Speaker 6: of the end of the year, so that says a
- 1:07:37Speaker 6: lot right there. So three out of the top five,
- 1:07:39Speaker 6: you know, Stuart Sinks out here running around, so it's
- 1:07:44Speaker 6: great to have them here. It's also great what they
- 1:07:46Speaker 6: do because they're the people that where you tell them
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: they shot on pick the hole that you're watching, they're
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: gonna look at you and say thank you, and they're
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: gonna nod their head. You know, they're gonna give a
- 1:07:55Speaker 6: volunteer a high five. So it's just a great atmosphere.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: Most of these guys, not all. There's some that were
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: club pros and others along the way or on some
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: smaller tours. Most of these guys have played on the
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: PGA Tour the various highest levels, as you just mentioned,
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: and when you get to that level, it's the money
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: and the focus and all this. The guys out here,
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: I don't want to say they're just playing for fun.
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: They're playing because they still love the game. But they're
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: also playing because they probably love to compete still, right.
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: Still have the competitive bone, absolutely, but it's just yeah,
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: so they can go out and they can still rise
- 1:08:24Speaker 6: with the guys themselves and go say what are you
- 1:08:26Speaker 6: going to do this? And you know, have that banter
- 1:08:28Speaker 6: back and forth. But in the same breath, it's the
- 1:08:31Speaker 6: casualists is actually really really fun to it as far as.
- 1:08:34Speaker 6: Ryan Engles is a tournament director of the Point Classic.
- 1:08:36Speaker 6: Let's talk about kind of the bigger picture of what
- 1:08:38Speaker 6: this tournament's about. It's become a fabric of our community.
- 1:08:41Speaker 6: It's a big, big thing every year in our area.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: I know. It's highly valued by the PGA Tour itself,
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: which is obviously the umbrella group for the Champions Tour
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: and the rest of the tour events. You know, we've
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: always talked about out here. People want to see the
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: main tour come here and things like that, and there's
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: always a client well you know, but part of it
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: is this. This is one of the most successful, if
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, Champions Tour events on the tour. Correct,
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: Like it's a big deal for them.
- 1:09:06Speaker 6: Absolutely, Yeah, we're in the top five for longevity just
- 1:09:09Speaker 6: doing it that way. As far as of the twenty
- 1:09:11Speaker 6: eight that are How.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Does that say about about what you guys do and
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: the support you get from Boeing and Virginia Mason, the
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: Seahawks everybody else.
- 1:09:17Speaker 6: Yeah, it says a lot. It's everything, so they give
- 1:09:19Speaker 6: back to the community. Boeing has been the only title sponsor.
- 1:09:22Speaker 6: They're the second longest running title sponsor within the circuit
- 1:09:25Speaker 6: as well, So giving back to all the employees that
- 1:09:29Speaker 6: work here, not only for Virgimamason Francisca Health, but Boeing
- 1:09:31Speaker 6: and the Seahawks and military appreciation, you know that component
- 1:09:36Speaker 6: that we have as well with all the folks that
- 1:09:38Speaker 6: support us.
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: That way, Ryan tell us about what it also benefits,
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: because I think that's the every golf tournament on the
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: on the professional level, no matter what it is, LPGAPGA
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: Champions Tour, et cetera. They're all I think people. And
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: this is with all the battles in golf right now,
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: with live and things, one of the things that sometimes
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: is forgotten is that the PGA Tour also is a big,
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: big give back to themmunity. I don't know if silvi
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: fiable one. See, I don't even care about that. It's
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: just I know that's a tax thing. What this is, Oh,
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: all these events all across the country, including this one,
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: give back to the community. What about this one.
- 1:10:10Speaker 6: Boeing Classic Virginia Mason Francisco Health is a beneficiary over
- 1:10:15Speaker 6: twelve million since two thousand and five when it started.
- 1:10:19Speaker 6: You know, right now, the focuses it's on research, it's
- 1:10:22Speaker 6: on you know, patient care. It's you know, innovations, you know,
- 1:10:27Speaker 6: helping those in need to get the best healthcare possible.
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: The tournament itself is a little different, right, fifty four holes,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: not seventy two. No cut, no cut, no cuts. So
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: the guys can have a little bit of fun.
- 1:10:38Speaker 6: Seventy eight players. Oh yeah, they're absolutely yeah, yeah, I.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: Just I think the part of giving back is it
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: twelve millions that you said, over twelve million dollars to
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: the community, and they started thinking about what the good
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: that has done, the lives that save, the research goes
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: into that and all these things. Do you have a
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: good story about a guy you've dealt without here? Maybe
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: it's Freddy, Maybe it's earning some of these guys' bigger names,
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: because it feels like I do see those names coming up.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: Freddy obviously from here, we'd a little bit different, but
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: I see those names coming back every year. You must
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: have some relationships or some stories that these guys tell
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: you about coming and playing here, whether it's the course,
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: whether it's the fans, whether it's the tournament itself.
- 1:11:14Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, Alkirk was out here right now, and
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: he actually was in the qualifier. It's the first time
- 1:11:19Speaker 6: that he that's how he got into the Champions Tours
- 1:11:24Speaker 6: at this tournament. And he comes back here after year
- 1:11:26Speaker 6: Boo Weekly for instance, this is his third year here.
- 1:11:30Speaker 6: What an amazing guy.
- 1:11:31Speaker 5: So much fun.
- 1:11:32Speaker 6: We gave him exentually in the first year, he came
- 1:11:34Speaker 6: back the second and now he's like, this is my
- 1:11:36Speaker 6: favorite stop. I love coming out the Pacific Northwest in August, right,
- 1:11:39Speaker 6: you know for the travel around, you.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: Know, it's amazing as we have the weather. Yeah, like
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: I think there's been maybe a couple of years in
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: the last two decades that maybe there's been a little
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: drizzle maybe one, but it just it feels like every
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: and we kind of got lucky. We can see the
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: smoke off in the distance pass Mount Sigh out towards
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: the cascades. We can see the little haze, but the court, like,
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: we don't smell smoke. There's really no wind right now,
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: perfect conditions. How's the course?
- 1:12:04Speaker 6: Fast, firm, green, lush. I mean the stripes on the fairways, yeah,
- 1:12:09Speaker 6: you know, the greens are rolling very quickly, you know,
- 1:12:13Speaker 6: not for my taking. I can let's just let's let's
- 1:12:16Speaker 6: just be clear. It's I don't put on concrete, but
- 1:12:18Speaker 6: these are these are very suptim.
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: You're a golfer. I'll wrap it up like this as
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: am I I mentioned, I like just watching by walking
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: by the range when I come in here every year
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: and looking at these guys hit the ball. H What
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: is it for you as a golfer? Like if I'm
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: guys listening right out as golf and I'm like, yeah,
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: I think I'm thinking about coming out there this weekend.
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: What do you like watching?
- 1:12:35Speaker 6: I love the practice area as well. I like to
- 1:12:38Speaker 6: watch the where they're sitting out of the bunkers and
- 1:12:40Speaker 6: how easy they make it look.
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: I don't think it's that easy.
- 1:12:43Speaker 5: It's not.
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: I know they make it look that I played two
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: days ago and I can tell you it's not that yeah.
- 1:12:47Speaker 6: Exactly, And it's not just once. They do it every
- 1:12:49Speaker 6: single time and you're just in awe and the you know,
- 1:12:52Speaker 6: the banter back and forth between them is great. There's
- 1:12:55Speaker 6: obviously some features holes. Looking at eighteen is definitely one
- 1:12:58Speaker 6: of them. Whole fourteen, for instance, with Canyon Club down there.
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: Let's talk about that Risks still down there.
- 1:13:06Speaker 6: Yeah, alask Garland's Canyon Club is down there. It's the
- 1:13:08Speaker 6: whole fourteen itself is a risk reward, and it's it's
- 1:13:13Speaker 6: a lively atmosphere, if you will.
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: The folks who have the h.
- 1:13:17Speaker 6: The atmost credit card to get the complimentary upgrades, so
- 1:13:21Speaker 6: it likes to so we like to pack the house
- 1:13:23Speaker 6: that way too, So we it's it's a fun spot,
- 1:13:26Speaker 6: it really is. It's it's the liveliness to it. There
- 1:13:28Speaker 6: may or may not be a happy hour that takes
- 1:13:30Speaker 6: place down there as well. Okay, we'd like to enjoy
- 1:13:33Speaker 6: a whole fort.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: So that's our that's our. I mean, I think the
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: two on the tour, the waste management obviously, sure, and
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: then there's the whole. I don't know what hold is
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: the Canadian Open. The week before the US Open, the
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: Canadian Open has ones were the same kind of stadium setting.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: It's a little different, but it's the canyon like and
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: it's a risk award. It's how far is a carry?
- 1:13:50Speaker 8: Uh?
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: Just under three? It's wild. It is a carry, that's
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: the carry. But I do know this now, these guys
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: can still hit it.
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: Sure.
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: It wasn't that long ago that anybody hitting a drive
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: three hundred yards was out of the ordinary.
- 1:14:05Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: Now even a lot of these guys can do that sure.
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: I mean now they're probably middle of the road as
- 1:14:09Speaker 6: far as driving this.
- 1:14:10Speaker 5: You know, it's just like that. It's changed.
- 1:14:12Speaker 6: The golf has changed so much that way, obviously with
- 1:14:14Speaker 6: the equipment and the ball and yeah, the different things that.
- 1:14:17Speaker 6: But yeah, it's a fun one down there for sure.

- 1:16:02Speaker 8: so many Augusts, and yeah, we've had a lot of
- 1:16:06Speaker 8: beautiful Sundays supposed to be nice this weekend as well.
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: We're gonna have a fast track. That means, by the way,
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: you can actually do you can double dip on Sunday
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: because they'll they'll crown the winner right around three point
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: thirty or four out here you can hustle down. I
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: think is it a five to fifty five? What's the
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: post time for the mile on sun Huh?
- 1:16:22Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, five point fifty five. We've got a big
- 1:16:25Speaker 8: twelve race card with six stakes races. The mile will
- 1:16:29Speaker 8: be race number nine and of course that is the
- 1:16:32Speaker 8: feature race of the year at Emerald Downs, and but
- 1:16:36Speaker 8: a big day all in all because all the divisions
- 1:16:39Speaker 8: are represented by the best horses.
- 1:16:40Speaker 11: On the track.
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: I believe we got some great as you mentioned, some
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: great horses in that field. Is my guy Rondo? Are
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: him and his trainer Mike too much? Are they? Are
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: they involved this year?
- 1:16:54Speaker 8: You know, Mike, that's a good lead in right there.
- 1:16:58Speaker 8: Mike Powitch is involved. The horse called Executive Chef, who's
- 1:17:03Speaker 8: going to be about fifteen to one morning line, but
- 1:17:06Speaker 8: I think he'll go off a little bit lower. And
- 1:17:09Speaker 8: Bob Rondo's twenty twenty one mile winter background is racing
- 1:17:15Speaker 8: on the undercard and Mike Poach as his trainer, just
- 1:17:18Speaker 8: as he was in twenty twenty one when Background won
- 1:17:23Speaker 8: the mile. Came in from the Midwest. I had really
- 1:17:26Speaker 8: a fine career there in Kentucky and Arkansas and Illinois,
- 1:17:32Speaker 8: and he won the mile. It was very emotional because
- 1:17:35Speaker 8: you know, Bob Rondo has actually been a big race
- 1:17:38Speaker 8: fan for his whole life. His father was into horses.
- 1:17:41Speaker 8: And rock O Bowen came back to ride the mile.
- 1:17:45Speaker 8: He had won three titles at Emerald Downs in previous years,
- 1:17:48Speaker 8: and the horse seemingly didn't have a great chance to
- 1:17:52Speaker 8: win at the top of the stretch, but they just
- 1:17:54Speaker 8: kept trying and coming and they got up near the wires.
- 1:17:58Speaker 8: So that was a great win. And Mike poeach from
- 1:18:00Speaker 8: renting himself and goes back to the early eighties with
- 1:18:03Speaker 8: Bob Rondo. So Background, at age nine has two wins
- 1:18:07Speaker 8: here this year. He's still going great. Rondo doesn't own him.
- 1:18:11Speaker 8: He was claimed away from Bob in the Midwest about
- 1:18:14Speaker 8: three years ago, but Mike found him over the winter
- 1:18:18Speaker 8: and said, hey, I'm going to buy that horse myself
- 1:18:21Speaker 8: and bring him Emerald Downs. And the horse is doing
- 1:18:24Speaker 8: great at the age of nine, so that's a story
- 1:18:27Speaker 8: as well. But Mike has executive chef for a local
- 1:18:31Speaker 8: owner by the name of Mike Waters who's back into
- 1:18:34Speaker 8: the game, and it's a claim earlier this year for
- 1:18:38Speaker 8: forty thousand, they bought him out of a race and
- 1:18:41Speaker 8: the horse fits with say see that Tiger and sluiced
- 1:18:44Speaker 8: his whiz to the top local horses. The favorite is
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: Touchy in from the Midwest where he just won a
- 1:18:52Speaker 8: Churchill Downs in his most recent race. He's going to
- 1:18:56Speaker 8: be tough to beat, but I think the pace is
- 1:18:59Speaker 8: going to be there with a horse by the name
- 1:19:01Speaker 8: of Audios Jojo and then the top sprinter at Emerald Down.
- 1:19:05Speaker 8: See that Tiger has won seven of eight in sprint races.
- 1:19:10Speaker 8: He hasn't won at the mile or longer but just
- 1:19:12Speaker 8: two tries. But I think Audios Jojo can bother see
- 1:19:17Speaker 8: that Tiger just enough that loosed his wiz. The eight
- 1:19:21Speaker 8: year old will make his gallant run ian. He's running
- 1:19:25Speaker 8: in the long Acres mile for the fifth consecutive year,
- 1:19:28Speaker 8: tying an Emerald Downs record, and he did win it
- 1:19:31Speaker 8: in twenty twenty two and he's been third twice since then.
- 1:19:34Speaker 8: And he's coming off a win.
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: At a mile.
- 1:19:36Speaker 8: So I'm giving that eight year old a big chance.
- 1:19:38Speaker 8: He's a real great Competitor's loosed his whiz.
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: Joe with you for just a couple more moments here, Joe.
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: Just for fans who you know, one of the bummer
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: things is there's not as many tracks on the West
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: Coast anymore. But one of the good things is is
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: that Emerald down seems to be doing great. You seem
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: to have some great fields and it's been another sounds
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: like another great successfully year down there in Auburn, which
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: I'd love to hear. For fans that are folks that
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: are thinking about coming out, give them the specifics win
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: to get out there. What there is to do besides
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: watch the twelve races and obviously get set to go
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: for the Long Acres mile. What else is it going
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: on out there?

- 1:22:36Speaker 2: He is the former first round pick cornerback out of
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: Alabama for the Detroit Lions, who caught him after eight
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: felony charges. We'll see if he's able to actually ever

- 1:22:52Speaker 2: but Drew Locke will start a quarterback. Jamel Millroll will
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: get plenty of time. A lot of guys battling for
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: roster spots out there along with Dallas.
- 1:22:59Speaker 5: Dallas.
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: It's not expected to play their starters either, as tomorrow

- 1:23:11Speaker 2: and a half back, trying to get back into it
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: in the Al West Wild Cards. Seems like more of
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: a long shot, even though they're closer, but there's like
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: six teams between them and that final spot along the way.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: Rain played tonight at Loomin Field, so do the Storm

- 1:24:34Speaker 2: guys get balls on the range He is the radio

- 1:25:41Speaker 2: and he did the same as me being a cougar.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: And here we are and we did some fun. And
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: then here's what happened. The reality is this. You became
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: a big deal, got put on that network with the games.
- 1:25:51Speaker 11: Here we go.
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: And just said, you know what they said to me, Ian,
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: we can't have you on the mid day. You can't
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: have Cam on the midday show anymore. He too big

- 1:26:13Speaker 2: I promise, because I love talking to you, buddy. It's
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: good to hear your voice. And Cam mentioned and the
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: reason I want to get a monte. We'll talk some
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: college football in the second. But he did mention this.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: I think it's kind of fun. He and I tomorrow
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: are teaming up Huskies and Kooks together on the broadcast
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: the national radio broadcast on Compass Radio across the country
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: every state except for Texas. Forty nine states. UH to
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: call the US the Huskies, the Seahawks, and the Cowboys
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: tomorrow preseason game on Compass. I can't wait to work
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: with you, buddy, side by side. It's gonna be a
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: ton of fun.
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I go.
- 1:26:46Speaker 11: We're like seasoned veterans, and I'm in such load demand that.
- 1:26:49Speaker 12: They said, hey, let's put it. Put a Husky with
- 1:26:51Speaker 12: a cougar. That'll make total.
- 1:26:52Speaker 11: Since we're not gonna fight, we have common denominators here.
- 1:26:56Speaker 12: We both love the Seahawks. We're gonna like the Cowboys.
- 1:26:59Speaker 12: But it's preseason football. All we're gonna do is have
- 1:27:02Speaker 12: a lot of fun and watch some good football, that's
- 1:27:03Speaker 12: for sure.
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: Well let's talk about this a little bit because it
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: is how many Was it four games or was it
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: more than four when you were playing? I don't want
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: to date you too much. I maybe it was six.
- 1:27:12Speaker 11: We No, that's well, it was four unless you were
- 1:27:17Speaker 11: the team that hated and draw the Hall of Fame game,
- 1:27:21Speaker 11: then it was five.
- 1:27:22Speaker 12: And it was It could have been really miserable. But
- 1:27:25Speaker 12: now you're looking at teams where it's standard, it's v
- 1:27:27Speaker 12: some we're going to play four. We're going to see
- 1:27:30Speaker 12: a limited amount of starters, if we're lucky to get
- 1:27:33Speaker 12: much of them past even a drive or a series.
- 1:27:36Speaker 12: Even I can go back when I played it in
- 1:27:38Speaker 12: that first preseason game. If you were a starter, you
- 1:27:41Speaker 12: might have played a series. That's about it, and then
- 1:27:44Speaker 12: maybe depending on how the coaching staff wants to get
- 1:27:46Speaker 12: you in there. But it's it's still pivotal for a
- 1:27:50Speaker 12: lot of the younger players and guys that free agents
- 1:27:52Speaker 12: trying to make this roster. But I'll tell you what,
- 1:27:54Speaker 12: you know, I'm looking at football and I'm paying it now.
- 1:27:56Speaker 12: The faster the NFL moves to an eighteen game and
- 1:27:59Speaker 12: just two precing preseason games.
- 1:28:01Speaker 11: It will be better, no question.
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: Yeah, let me let me just get to that part,
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: because you know, and I do my other world of
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: working in hockey. The NHL added two games or at
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: eighty four regular season, and they got rid of They've
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: basically cut the preseason schedule in half. It's they have
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: four games now and buy and large it'll be all
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: young guys and then a couple and then a couple
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: of games with some vets sprinkled in just to get
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: some some real ice time in there and get banged
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: around a little bit football similar you want to get
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: a little physical contact. How important is it just, you know,
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: just to get a little bit of something in there
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: in terms of you know, banging around, knocking some heads.
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: Because you can be in shape, but how do you
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: get into football shape?
- 1:28:41Speaker 12: And this is this is the major question now because
- 1:28:44Speaker 12: you're looking at trying to sustain health because you have
- 1:28:47Speaker 12: three hundred and one million I think that's what the
- 1:28:48Speaker 12: cap number is this year, and you're looking at guys
- 1:28:50Speaker 12: that have a ton of money, and you're invested in
- 1:28:53Speaker 12: starters and you're keeping depth. The rosters aren't any bigger
- 1:28:55Speaker 12: at fifty three. I mean my magic wand I would
- 1:28:58Speaker 12: eventually go to eighteen. I raised the roster by five
- 1:29:01Speaker 12: and go to fifty eight because cap numbers can support
- 1:29:04Speaker 12: that moving forward because you'd have a bump and revenue.
- 1:29:07Speaker 12: But if you're asking, all in all, do I need
- 1:29:09Speaker 12: to hit a bunch in the NFL? Yeah, you still
- 1:29:12Speaker 12: need to hit, but there are team practices, you have
- 1:29:16Speaker 12: joined practices that you can get those hits in. These
- 1:29:19Speaker 12: games have always been created for ownership and for fan
- 1:29:23Speaker 12: experience certainly, but now we're talking in teams and players
- 1:29:28Speaker 12: and fans. We want to see games that matter, and
- 1:29:30Speaker 12: not that they don't, because they certainly do. But it's
- 1:29:33Speaker 12: about getting guys healthy. And by the time you get
- 1:29:36Speaker 12: cut and then you start to see veterans week one,
- 1:29:40Speaker 12: they're gonna get cut or I'm sorry at the end
- 1:29:42Speaker 12: of preseason. There's just so much business involved in this
- 1:29:45Speaker 12: now that it gets a little lost in the wash that, Yeah,
- 1:29:49Speaker 12: you got to be healthy and you got to hit
- 1:29:50Speaker 12: to be able to be physical and get ready for
- 1:29:52Speaker 12: a long season.
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: Yeah, Cam Cleveland joining us right now. Seahawks tomorrow taking
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: on the Dallas Cowboys five o'clock at Loominfield. We'll have
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: the call for you Compass Radio nationally. I think there's
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: an app if you want to get a chuckle and
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: listen to Ian and Camp having some fun together on
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: the game tomorrow night. The for you, what did you need?
- 1:30:09Speaker 7: Like?
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: And I'll put you like, let's say, because we can
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: kind of put you in the category of like maybe
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: an AJ Barner. They've got Jake Ferguson, I mean tight ends,
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: even several offensive linemen. You guys are hybrid offensive live
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: in receivers. What did you feel like you needed for
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: the preseason.
- 1:30:25Speaker 12: Well, I mean I can go all the way back,
- 1:30:27Speaker 12: even when a new coach was hired, You've got an
- 1:30:29Speaker 12: extra week of training camps. I remember starting training camp
- 1:30:32Speaker 12: July fifteenth, which is insanity because you've practiced almost three
- 1:30:36Speaker 12: weeks before a preseason game in one hundred and two
- 1:30:40Speaker 12: degrees in Thibodeau, Louisiana. So that's my old man story.
- 1:30:43Speaker 12: But physically, when it comes to it, I felt. You know,
- 1:30:47Speaker 12: we train, and these guys train year round. It's not
- 1:30:50Speaker 12: a physical thing. It's more of a rhythm and it's
- 1:30:53Speaker 12: a continuity with your new teammates. Seahawks have a neue
- 1:30:56Speaker 12: offensive coordinator. You've watched Hard Knocks, You've seen Ja in
- 1:31:00Speaker 12: and looking at the verbiage, to me, it's it's how
- 1:31:04Speaker 12: you are going to gel with your new new guys
- 1:31:07Speaker 12: that are in this because every year it's a different team.
- 1:31:09Speaker 12: I'm sorry everybody, No matter how you look at it,
- 1:31:12Speaker 12: you could bring back sixty percent of your seventy percent.
- 1:31:14Speaker 11: Of your roster. It's all different. How do they gel,
- 1:31:18Speaker 11: how do they work together?
- 1:31:20Speaker 12: That's what I need, And if you were asking me,
- 1:31:22Speaker 12: I probably needed two preseason games and it would break
- 1:31:26Speaker 12: down to at least twenty five to thirty plays a game,
- 1:31:30Speaker 12: somewhere in that range. And then I felt good with
- 1:31:32Speaker 12: practice and I was ready to go. I mean, by
- 1:31:34Speaker 12: the time you get the end of August, veterans and
- 1:31:37Speaker 12: guys are like, let's get to the dang season.
- 1:31:39Speaker 11: Who were going?
- 1:31:40Speaker 12: And it's stressful because you don't know if you're going
- 1:31:42Speaker 12: to be traded, you don't know if you're going to
- 1:31:43Speaker 12: make the roster. It's just a lot of minutia. You
- 1:31:47Speaker 12: just want to go hit somebody. And that's I guess
- 1:31:49Speaker 12: that's why it's a great support.
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: Damn Cleveland joining me. All right, you brought up something
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: the interesting things. This is what I'm curious about for tomorrow.
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: Both teams have a new coordinator. Christian Walker. The new
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: defense coordinator for the Cowboys comes over from the Eagles.
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: He's a guy that I mean, if they had any
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: defense in Dallas last year, they had any defense at
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: all in Dallas last year. They're a playoff team and
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: probably dangerous. They had a top five offense when they
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: were healthy. They were unbelievable offensively. They they were last
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: in the league in terms of points allowed. So they
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: bring in a new defensive coordinator. Seattle's got Brian Fleury
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: the new offensive coordinator. Even though starters aren't playing on
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: either side, we may see some Caleb downs tomorrow, which
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: would be kind of fun coming back to Seattle last
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: time he was here, obviously with Ohio State and just
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: the great player that he is. It'd be fun to
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: watch maybe a series or two. But whether it's if
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: you look at they've got a couple of new corners.
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: They basically got the Rams corners that they kicked to
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: the curb after after they went and got McDuffie and
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: Jalen Watson. But they've got whether it's the defensive line,
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: their linebackers they're not going to be playing. Do they
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: get anything from just watching how he's calling a game
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: and listening in the same token you mentioned JSN, Does
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: he get anything and those guys get much starters on
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: the Seahawks offense even though they're not playing in the game,
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: but just watching a game and how how Flurry executes it.
- 1:33:02Speaker 12: Yeah, I think they're going to see how his in
- 1:33:06Speaker 12: game continuity works, how his tempo works. Now you can
- 1:33:09Speaker 12: simulate that and practice a little bit. Of course, the
- 1:33:13Speaker 12: headsets and everything. And that's what's great about some of
- 1:33:15Speaker 12: the now the access you can see about the semantics
- 1:33:19Speaker 12: of the details of practice. But in game calling, all
- 1:33:23Speaker 12: that tempo and all that rhythm comes with new guys
- 1:33:26Speaker 12: and how they process and new quarterbacks.
- 1:33:28Speaker 11: Looking at the Cowboys, I'm going, Okay.
- 1:33:31Speaker 12: You finished seventy nine and one, you had a division
- 1:33:33Speaker 12: that was extremely steel, finished second in your division. You're
- 1:33:36Speaker 12: looking you have to win your division. You have commanders,
- 1:33:39Speaker 12: you have certainly you're gonna have to deal with a
- 1:33:41Speaker 12: new coach in New York. So all those details come
- 1:33:44Speaker 12: in Coach Schottenheimer and everybody in Dallas. It's the team
- 1:33:48Speaker 12: every year that you go should be America's team. They
- 1:33:51Speaker 12: should be able to do it back in investment.
- 1:33:54Speaker 11: So the thing is what the.
- 1:33:56Speaker 12: Seahawks did in is they put a blueprint not only
- 1:33:59Speaker 12: about how you win with defense. And everybody want to
- 1:34:01Speaker 12: give the defensive credit great, and I think the defense
- 1:34:04Speaker 12: is elite, but Camak is done with the Seahawks is
- 1:34:08Speaker 12: unbelievable in the second year. But it's how good their offense,
- 1:34:12Speaker 12: Sam Darnold.
- 1:34:13Speaker 11: The playmaking they made in those moments.
- 1:34:15Speaker 12: But everybody now notices if you don't have defenses that
- 1:34:19Speaker 12: finish at least come on, let's be realistic. You have
- 1:34:22Speaker 12: to be a top ten defense to be able to
- 1:34:24Speaker 12: get to a Super Bowl. It's just not going to
- 1:34:26Speaker 12: work in this league. Guys are too good. Dallas knows
- 1:34:29Speaker 12: it and they certainly have a good offensive group, and
- 1:34:32Speaker 12: Seattle now has it built in.
- 1:34:34Speaker 11: So both these.
- 1:34:35Speaker 12: Teams are going to have a crap ton of expectations
- 1:34:38Speaker 12: one coming off of Super Bowl one being seven to nine.
- 1:34:41Speaker 11: It's it's just going to be a talent is well,
- 1:34:43Speaker 11: how do you execute?
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: Explain to me tempo because I think we think of
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: it can be probably defined in a couple of different ways.
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: You mentioned temple for the offense and specifically for Flurry.
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: Is that how he pays himself? Is that how the
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: offense is going running passing quick plays? Or is it
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: how they use the play close? Explain what you mean
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: by temple with the offensive coordinator.
- 1:35:06Speaker 12: So there there's a lot of there's a lot of
- 1:35:09Speaker 12: characteristics on how you call offense. You know, it used
- 1:35:13Speaker 12: to be classically you would get you'd be snapping the
- 1:35:16Speaker 12: ball at a playcock number of around three and four,
- 1:35:20Speaker 12: and so it depends on your tempo. Depends on how
- 1:35:23Speaker 12: many guys, but sometimes they have Nascar. Nascar is a
- 1:35:26Speaker 12: variation of how you call fast go, so it means
- 1:35:30Speaker 12: no substitutions. You're catching your defense without substitutions, and some
- 1:35:35Speaker 12: of them call it turbo, but Nascar is really popular,
- 1:35:39Speaker 12: and there's a block of calls that a coach has
- 1:35:42Speaker 12: built into his offense and then Sam will just go
- 1:35:44Speaker 12: and any quarterback will end up just taking off and go.
- 1:35:48Speaker 12: That's the difference in today's offense and how you tempo
- 1:35:51Speaker 12: and how you pace your game.
- 1:35:53Speaker 11: Sometimes teams love it. And if you see, if they.
- 1:35:56Speaker 12: Get a quick first down and you get six seven
- 1:35:58Speaker 12: yards on a first down, you're gonna get Nascar and Temple,
- 1:36:01Speaker 12: they're gonna catch you. We're gonna keep going to try
- 1:36:03Speaker 12: to get another first down, and we're gonna get the
- 1:36:05Speaker 12: defense in fatigue mode. The defense loves it. They absolutely
- 1:36:10Speaker 12: love it when you sit back, huddle up and go
- 1:36:14Speaker 12: to on deep like down to two in the play clock,
- 1:36:18Speaker 12: because they can recognize and they can adjust. And so
- 1:36:22Speaker 12: what does a coach like to do. Most offensive coaches
- 1:36:26Speaker 12: want to shift, They want to motion because anytime you
- 1:36:29Speaker 12: can alternate and change how the defense looks at you.
- 1:36:34Speaker 12: Defense hates it, They hate shift, they hate motion because
- 1:36:37Speaker 12: it changes their assignments. So all of that goes into
- 1:36:40Speaker 12: a cadenance, a cadence, and a dance that an offensive
- 1:36:44Speaker 12: coordinator has to choreograph with his unit. And remember this
- 1:36:48Speaker 12: is new terminology for the Seahawks this year offensively, so
- 1:36:52Speaker 12: it may look the same, but there are fifteen thousand
- 1:36:56Speaker 12: ways to call dive. I mean, and it just is
- 1:36:59Speaker 12: it's the same word. But I'm like, dude, I'm doing
- 1:37:02Speaker 12: the same route. Why do we gotta call it different?
- 1:37:04Speaker 11: You can see it.
- 1:37:05Speaker 12: And that's what I loved about watching these guys. And
- 1:37:08Speaker 12: do you wonder Sam Darnold finally had great success because
- 1:37:11Speaker 12: he finally found a place there was continuity, I mean, massive.
- 1:37:15Speaker 11: Burbage change, all of that. I could go in it
- 1:37:18Speaker 11: for hours about why it works.
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: I love it. Cam Cleland joining me right now. All right, Well,
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: what fun more night. I'm excited for the game, big
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: game for like and listen, we'll wrap up this because
- 1:37:27Speaker 2: I want to get a little college football talk in here.
- 1:37:29Speaker 5: The yea.
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: It is a big game for all those fringe guys.
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: And you know, we kind of we always do the
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: little roster roulette when the Seahawks start training camp and
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: kind of go through the roster, and this is one
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: of those years there's just not much turnover. There's not
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: many opportunities for guys to crack the fifty three man. Yeah,
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: they lost Mafe and Wolan and Bryant, but really by
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: and large, the offense returns. In fact, the offense returns healthy.
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: The defense. There's a couple openings here or there. I
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: think it's a big three games. For a guy like
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe, they really would like him to be the
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: backup at some point next year or the year after
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: Drew locks really capable. I mean he'll get some definitely
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: get some snaps. But for guys like Milroe who's working
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: on his craft, he knows he's on the fifty three
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: or But for the guys that are just battling and
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: they think they got a glimpse of it, whether it's
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: fifty three man or practice squad, what's going through their
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: minds as a hitt of this game.
- 1:38:20Speaker 11: Yeah they are.
- 1:38:21Speaker 12: So here's what a lot of them are thinking, certainly,
- 1:38:25Speaker 12: And it's the I call it being comfortable with being
- 1:38:28Speaker 12: massively uncomfortable, because if you can get. If you can get,
- 1:38:33Speaker 12: let's say you get a tape and a tape of
- 1:38:36Speaker 12: ten to twenty plays of good execution. This is about
- 1:38:40Speaker 12: how you execute in those moments. So every one of
- 1:38:43Speaker 12: those guys knows, if they're lucky to get ten to
- 1:38:45Speaker 12: fifteen plays, they have to grade out at a ninety
- 1:38:49Speaker 12: percent rate to not only be successful, but to justify
- 1:38:52Speaker 12: how you're going to make that roster.
- 1:38:54Speaker 11: And also think of it this way, and.
- 1:38:56Speaker 12: Every one of those guys that are on this roster
- 1:38:59Speaker 12: right now, in every off the league, are now being
- 1:39:02Speaker 12: graded for other positions on other teams if you have
- 1:39:05Speaker 12: And this isn't an unfortunate It's not unfortunate. This is
- 1:39:08Speaker 12: the business side of as a player. You're gonna start
- 1:39:11Speaker 12: doing math after this game. You're gonna look into depth.
- 1:39:14Speaker 12: You're gonna see, oh, man, I got seven plays, this
- 1:39:17Speaker 12: guy got fifteen. Well, this guy's making five million. I'm
- 1:39:20Speaker 12: making league minimum. I better start doing my math or
- 1:39:23Speaker 12: I better have to justify why I need to make
- 1:39:27Speaker 12: this roster. So all that being said is you're gonna
- 1:39:31Speaker 12: see guys go absolutely crazy that are lower.
- 1:39:34Speaker 11: On the depth.
- 1:39:35Speaker 12: They're gonna try to be sharp, they're gonna do everything
- 1:39:37Speaker 12: they can to make a play and stand out, because
- 1:39:40Speaker 12: even if they don't make the roster, they have a
- 1:39:42Speaker 12: chance to make practice squad. But they also want to
- 1:39:45Speaker 12: look good to build their rolodex or build their film
- 1:39:50Speaker 12: reel for other teams to be recruited and maybe sign
- 1:39:54Speaker 12: as a free agent. So it does matter to the
- 1:39:57Speaker 12: top depth quite a bit, but it matters more to
- 1:40:00Speaker 12: that bottom half of the roster.
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: Cam Cleveland with me for a couple more moments. Cam,
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: let me, let's just switch real quick to college. I'm
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: gonna say this. I'm gonna I'm the opposite of our
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: boy soft yea. He goes on our annual rant every year.
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: He hates the preseason rankings, he hates all that kind
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: of stuff. I don't know. I like him. They're fun,
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: they're harmless. You look at who's doing the college football
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: playoff poll. If that's what you're concerned about. Those guys
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: aren't looking at those rankings. So I think it's moved.
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: But it's fun. And your team's ranked in the top
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: twenty five the Huskies this season, you're three at Jetfish.
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: Demon Williams does come back, maybe but grudgingly whatever, but
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: he's back. And a big key. You gotta replace Denzel Boston,
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: you got to replace Jonah Coleman. But you have one
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: of the Hatchets, or maybe there's nine or ten Hatchets.
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: I don't know who's still left here with the Hatchet
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: brothers on the offensive line, but you got a lot
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: of them, right, pretty good defense, great defensive coordinator. What
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: are your expectations for the Huskies?
- 1:40:52Speaker 5: Issues?
- 1:40:54Speaker 11: Man, there's a lot. There's a lot there going to pack.
- 1:40:57Speaker 12: And that's why I don't get too excited a little
- 1:41:00Speaker 12: bit about preseason mindset. I try to really be realistic
- 1:41:05Speaker 12: going into this conference now, because this conference is massive,
- 1:41:09Speaker 12: It's eighteen teams, it's won three straight national championships. You
- 1:41:12Speaker 12: have a team down south that I don't even like
- 1:41:14Speaker 12: to talk about that it's touted every single year. You
- 1:41:18Speaker 12: have an Indiana team that came out of nowhere in
- 1:41:21Speaker 12: Ohio State and new coach at Michigan, new coach at
- 1:41:24Speaker 12: Penn State, and they come visit to you. Coach Fish
- 1:41:27Speaker 12: understands it, he gets it. But you have a third
- 1:41:30Speaker 12: year core quarterback. This is his opportunity to win a
- 1:41:36Speaker 12: big game. I'm gonna use the stat the rest of
- 1:41:38Speaker 12: days of this season until it gets broken forty five
- 1:41:42Speaker 12: points and wins seven points.
- 1:41:44Speaker 11: And losses last year.
- 1:41:46Speaker 12: That is a massive number when you look at offensive
- 1:41:49Speaker 12: production in big games in those situations, who does that
- 1:41:52Speaker 12: fall on? It falls on the execution of your number
- 1:41:55Speaker 12: one guy to start, Demon Williams, and then it falls
- 1:41:58Speaker 12: on how you get offensive production. You have to replace
- 1:42:03Speaker 12: a running back room with a lot of new faces,
- 1:42:06Speaker 12: a wide receiver group as Roebuck comes back as your
- 1:42:09Speaker 12: most experienced guy. So those are all these things that
- 1:42:13Speaker 12: I look back and I go new, young offensive line player,
- 1:42:17Speaker 12: You're gonna have a true freshman at left tackle defending
- 1:42:20Speaker 12: your blind side, another red shirt freshman or I'm sorry,
- 1:42:24Speaker 12: sophomore John Mills on that side. You have bigger, stronger,
- 1:42:27Speaker 12: faster guys. A linebacker room that might be I think
- 1:42:31Speaker 12: it's one of the best in the country. Linebackers are
- 1:42:34Speaker 12: incredible at Huskies this year at their depth. So I mean,
- 1:42:38Speaker 12: come Onie and I week in and week out, I
- 1:42:40Speaker 12: think we're gonna know how good this Husky team is
- 1:42:43Speaker 12: when we go on the road to USC and that's
- 1:42:46Speaker 12: a big week coming up at the end.
- 1:42:47Speaker 11: After those four games.
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because you have that kind of a
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: soft start to the schedule, and there's that just gauntlet
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: that comes up at the end of the season as well.
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: But I yeah, demand Williams is it's a He's an
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: interesting one in a sense. All the other stuff aside.
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: You're right, Like, there were games and he would just
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: look unbelievable, I mean and throwing dimes. I mean, hell,
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: he did it against us in the Apple Cup. And
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: then you'd see a game, you know, a Wisconsin game
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: or you know whatever, and it was just like, what
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: is going on here with this guy? You know, it's funny.
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: He's not a big dude, but I'd call him a bully,
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: like he's a football bully. He's really good against the
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: weaker sisters, and then when you have to go against
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: someone in your own size, it just didn't work for him.
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: And big year for him, big year for the Huskies.
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: Oregon's funny, though, isn't it. Like God, they get a
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: lot of every year, they get a lot of credit
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: every year. It's unbelievable. And then they'll get boat raced.
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: They'll get they'll get to the playoffs and then they'll
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: get boat raced. That's just what it is. I mean,
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable the credit they get.
- 1:43:44Speaker 12: I'm gonna I felt like I've known this for a
- 1:43:47Speaker 12: while now, but that the ability for a if in
- 1:43:51Speaker 12: in this setup now, the way we're set up, if
- 1:43:54Speaker 12: a West Coast team can find a way to win
- 1:43:58Speaker 12: a national championship, knowing that the travel schedule for them
- 1:44:01Speaker 12: late in the season of what it had to do,
- 1:44:03Speaker 12: and look, I'm gonna give Oregon whatever credit they want.
- 1:44:06Speaker 12: I'm gonna I'm not even gonna want to even associate
- 1:44:09Speaker 12: with their brand mentally at this point, but they had
- 1:44:12Speaker 12: no shot to go on the road like that and travel.
- 1:44:14Speaker 11: Back and forth.
- 1:44:15Speaker 12: Everyone that thinks that that's an excuse, that's a real reality.
- 1:44:18Speaker 12: If a West Coast team can make a run and
- 1:44:21Speaker 12: push it, it might be one of the greatest things
- 1:44:22Speaker 12: I've ever seen in college football, because you're gonna have
- 1:44:24Speaker 12: to not only fly around this country, but you're gonna
- 1:44:27Speaker 12: have to back to back win a Big Ten championship,
- 1:44:29Speaker 12: win an SEC championship.
- 1:44:32Speaker 11: However it is.
- 1:44:32Speaker 12: It's not gonna matter in the SEC, but there's only
- 1:44:35Speaker 12: a few teams that can do it at this point.
- 1:44:37Speaker 12: The way we look at it, Let's be honest, it's
- 1:44:39Speaker 12: a Washington team, it's an Oregon team, it's a UCLA,
- 1:44:44Speaker 12: or it's a USC. You might be able to sneak
- 1:44:47Speaker 12: in in Arizona. But even them, logistically they can still
- 1:44:51Speaker 12: make it happen. But for one of those four teams
- 1:44:53Speaker 12: in the Big Ten to make a run, it'd be
- 1:44:55Speaker 12: amazing at this point.
- 1:44:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have thought maybe a Utah they would
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: if Kyle would still be there. I don't know if
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: Morgan Scalley's the guy. I mean, we'll find out, I guess.
- 1:45:04Speaker 11: But yeah, we'll find out.
- 1:45:06Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: And then there's there's Kyle finding his way somehow to
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: to the Big ten man, which is not a that's
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: not good news for anybody the Big Ten. I'll be
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: honest with you. He's a hell of a coach. And
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: i'd be worried about USC. You and I can talk
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: later about college more college fuill I be this is fun?
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: I USC to me would be maybe Lincoln has it
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: going in the right direction. We'll find out. I think
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: he's got the quarterback. But I can't wait for college
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: to start. I can't wait to work with you tomorrow.
- 1:45:30Speaker 13: Man.
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: It's gonna be a ton of fun the two of
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: us together. Let's go have some fun. I will see
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: you at lewin Field tomorrow afternoon, my.
- 1:45:36Speaker 11: Friend, appreciate it. Thanks Ian, looking forward to my ma'am.
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: There you go. That's the great Cam Cleveland. Of course
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: you hear him on all the Husky broadcasts, and we'll
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: get him on our show more this year. We'll get
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: the spread the wealth with Cam as well. As the
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: year goes on, we'll take a break, we'll get to
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: the text messages. See if there's some talkbacks as well.
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: Right here at nine three point three kJ FM. Mhmm hmmm.
- 1:46:25Speaker 13: You know, amenus bear and uh yeah, uh didn't down
- 1:46:30Speaker 13: of practice yet, but I'm still hopping around and getting
- 1:46:33Speaker 13: after it and uh with the Wold Tarry and ARTI thing.
- 1:46:36Speaker 13: You know, I'm all for it.
- 1:46:37Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: We used to do that all the time.
- 1:46:39Speaker 13: Yeah, anytime somebody who's getting real roaded, you know, I
- 1:46:43Speaker 13: would be the train conductor and I would guide them
- 1:46:46Speaker 13: down the right track. And I'm I still do that.
- 1:46:49Speaker 13: I still do that today, you know. So I'm here
- 1:46:52Speaker 13: for the young man and I wish him the best.
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: Go off.
- 1:46:55Speaker 14: Hey, guys, Cole Teverson here really disappointed when he sat down.
- 1:47:00Speaker 14: I was supposed to be up here learning from the leaders.
- 1:47:02Speaker 14: The leader and so called captain of the teams bat
- 1:47:05Speaker 14: and lower than my eighth grade cousin and his t
- 1:47:07Speaker 14: ball team. And I've had more home runs and he said,
- 1:47:10Speaker 14: hits in the past two months. So I'm not really
- 1:47:12Speaker 14: sure what I did wrong. I guess maybe I shouldn't
- 1:47:15Speaker 14: shake the teammates' hands and act like a tough guy
- 1:47:17Speaker 14: in an exhibition game, and maybe I should stay up
- 1:47:20Speaker 14: with the team.
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe change my name to a little.
- 1:47:22Speaker 3: Dumper about really good impressions there.
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Pete. I'm the conductor of that train.
- 1:47:31Speaker 2: That's a great line. That's a great line. The cold
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: Emerson sounds a lot like Dan Wilson. But I think
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go with what he said. And everything
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: he said is right. Everything he said is right about
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: cold Emerson. He's a right now. Cold Emerson is a
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: far better offensive player than cal Rowly. That's indisputable. The
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: numbers will tell you that.
- 1:47:57Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: Now we can talk about thee and all those things.
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: But that's why I said I even though I taking
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: a day off on Monday, I there's part of me
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: that would love to be a part of Mollywop on Monday,
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: because I know one guy his name might sound a
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: lot like Nathan Bishop is is revved up, I mean
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: fired the blank up. I had people walking by this
- 1:48:22Speaker 2: week at Seahawks. We're doing shows asking up for emergency mollywops.
- 1:48:27Speaker 5: That's what.
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: That's how bad things have gone when people are asking
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: for an emergency mallywop.
- 1:48:32Speaker 3: Jess, I have random people ask me for it.
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm like, well listen, the good thing like
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: if you do it too much, it loses its luster. Right, Yeah,
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: so we but they'll be back money crust.
- 1:48:44Speaker 4: There is a break in case of emergency glass that
- 1:48:48Speaker 4: we have somewhere around here.
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: So yes, Chris will be the conductor of that train
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: on Monday.
- 1:48:52Speaker 3: So yeah, it'll be up to It's actually perfect.
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: I don't have I don't have a computers.
- 1:48:57Speaker 3: We have a lot of texts, so.
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: You're in charge of reading text. I'll be in charge
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: of reacting.
- 1:49:02Speaker 4: Here we go two six, Ian, Just curious, will you
- 1:49:05Speaker 4: be having Greg Cassell on to discuss the Arnold signing?
- 1:49:09Speaker 14: Uh?
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: Probably not. Greg will start just as Greg's handler, even
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: though she does another show.
- 1:49:15Speaker 3: I am I do every show.
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: Come on you, Jess. I've known Greg for.
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: A long time, a lot longer than I have.
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: But Greg likes to talk to Jess more than he
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: likes to talk to well, because.
- 1:49:30Speaker 4: I actually talk to people when I'm not asking them
- 1:49:33Speaker 4: to do their show. I want to see how they're
- 1:49:34Speaker 4: doing and I like to catch up.
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: And also, that's what that's the part. That's your greatness, Jess,
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: that's your superpower, and I appreciate that. So when Greg's
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: Greg will probably start week one of the regular season.
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: But like I said, that's that's it. Maybe we'll try
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: to Maybe we can squeeze a pre season two weeks
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: from now thing out of him.
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: Do you want me to make it happen? Because you
- 1:49:57Speaker 3: know I can.
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: I wouldn't be bad. It would be bad. People need
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: some great coat seal they do. What else you got?
- 1:50:04Speaker 4: Keith Miller a friendly reminder for the mayor to stretch
- 1:50:06Speaker 4: out those hammies before his exit below.
- 1:50:08Speaker 3: Out of the studio. In the studio, not.
- 1:50:11Speaker 2: In the studio, going classic today, but I will be
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: I did see one of our terry you saw the guy.
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: We saw one of our sales guys, sales guy Rich,
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: which Rich. We have like seven of them, Rich Strauss.
- 1:50:25Speaker 3: Oh Rich, mister pancake maker.
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: He came ambling by our little enclave here above the
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: eighteenth Green and then scooted directly into the hospitality tent
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: down below, which, let me explain what a hospitality tent is.
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: That would be free food and beverage food, and it's
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: complimentary because it's the hospitality tint that apparently he has
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: access to. Terry, did you get invited to go down there?
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: I did not either. No, I did not either. Yeah,
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: so so uh because because what I would have done
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: at three o'clock or two fifty four, I would have
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: printed down there, but uh, sales guy Rich did not
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: invite us to go down there. So I will be
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: sprinting out of here to head to my favorite watering
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: hole on a Friday and by which will be, by
- 1:51:11Speaker 2: the way, the location for the final keke of the
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: Mayor Boo yay again this year. We've done that for
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: the last three years.
- 1:51:18Speaker 4: So yes, all right, what else got Let's see, we
- 1:51:21Speaker 4: have a lot of requests for the Funston Fantasy League
- 1:51:24Speaker 4: this year. I don't know if you guys are planning
- 1:51:26Speaker 4: on doing that, but a lot of requests for it.
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, so we'll see. All right,
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: well this one coming in from the three six, it
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: feels like an andrew that's you know what, if you
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: guys want that, just just keep hammering Andrews on that.
- 1:51:38Speaker 4: Yeah, get on and yeah, let's see three six super
- 1:51:44Speaker 4: Bowl on Valentine's Day this year, there's going to be
- 1:51:46Speaker 4: a lot of disappointed wives and girlfriends.
- 1:51:48Speaker 15: Now.
- 1:51:49Speaker 4: I would counter that immediately by saying, now, if you
- 1:51:54Speaker 4: do want to do something on Valentine's Day, this is
- 1:51:57Speaker 4: me coming as a wife. If you want to do
- 1:51:59Speaker 4: so something instead of watching the super Bowl, that's the disappointment.
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: Jess, would you as as a married woman?
- 1:52:08Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: Is there any part of you that would agree with
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: what I'm going to say here? And that is I
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: think Valentine's Day is the most overrated of all the holidays.
- 1:52:19Speaker 3: I think it's the worst Hallmark holiday of all of them.
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: Yes, of all of them.
- 1:52:25Speaker 3: I think it's so stupid.
- 1:52:27Speaker 2: I do have friends whose wives are like, what are
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: we doing on Valdina. I'm like, yeah, I've been married
- 1:52:32Speaker 2: thirty three years, like every day's VALENTI.
- 1:52:35Speaker 5: Yes, exactly.
- 1:52:38Speaker 4: If you're not celebrating each other during the year, then
- 1:52:40Speaker 4: that you know, and you need that one day.
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: You need that one day where every restaurant's packed and
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: all that.
- 1:52:46Speaker 3: Yet it's gonna cost you a lot more if you
- 1:52:48Speaker 3: do some special dinner. Now, it's one thing.
- 1:52:50Speaker 4: If like it's a significant holiday for you. Maybe you
- 1:52:54Speaker 4: got engaged on Valentine's Day, which was so you know,
- 1:52:57Speaker 4: that's a whole other bag.
- 1:52:59Speaker 3: But just like do something.
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: Yeah, like my kids, well, my daughter probably not as
- 1:53:05Speaker 2: much because they've been together for a long time. My
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: son they've been dating for four years. It's probably a
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: bigger deal for them. But they're in the early twenties.
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: They're young.
- 1:53:11Speaker 3: They're young.
- 1:53:12Speaker 2: For us, it's like whatever, man in fact, and here's
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: a funny thing, now that I think of it, Fella,
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: is it really a super Bowl on Valentine's Day this year?
- 1:53:20Speaker 5: I think?
- 1:53:21Speaker 7: So?
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait to tell him that. He'll oh,
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: he's to think of it.
- 1:53:27Speaker 3: He's still she's.
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: She's a former athlete, she gets it. She'll be fine.
- 1:53:31Speaker 4: Well, It's like, no, I still have the the issue
- 1:53:36Speaker 4: with my friends getting married. I've missed two Cougar games
- 1:53:39Speaker 4: in my fourteen seasons covering the team. Get married in
- 1:53:44Speaker 4: the fall, plus it is, yes, and I can confirm
- 1:53:48Speaker 4: that it is on Sunday, the fourteenths Do something Friday, Yeah,
- 1:53:53Speaker 4: do something Saturday. It's already on a Sunday, like you
- 1:53:56Speaker 4: now watch the super Bowl. Also, I don't know where
- 1:53:59Speaker 4: writers something. Just have a well, sorry, just whatever. Just
- 1:54:07Speaker 4: make a nice breakfast to soak up all that booze
- 1:54:10Speaker 4: you're gonna drink together, okay, two five three. Continuing to
- 1:54:14Speaker 4: watch the Mariners is like going home to the same
- 1:54:16Speaker 4: boring relationship that ultimately you know is going to fail.
- 1:54:20Speaker 4: You have a couple of good nights together, but most
- 1:54:22Speaker 4: of the time your significant other just pisses you off.
- 1:54:25Speaker 4: There's a few people that have shown interest in you
- 1:54:27Speaker 4: at a local bar in Tacoma and have even hit
- 1:54:31Speaker 4: on you, but you're.
- 1:54:32Speaker 3: Dumb enough to just stick it out.
- 1:54:35Speaker 4: You're feeling, you're feeling relationship out and not make changes.
- 1:54:40Speaker 4: That is.
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: I'm sending arguably a timer that Alzheimer right now.
- 1:54:51Speaker 3: I couldn't get through it without laughing because I know.
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: That is awesome. God, that's awesome.
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: All right, Oh boy, that was a good one. Hold
- 1:54:59Speaker 3: on and I just wanted to email that to you.
- 1:55:03Speaker 3: That was really good.
- 1:55:04Speaker 4: Uh, let's see, uh, here we go. This is in
- 1:55:09Speaker 4: regards to Terry and Arnold. I love how the Seahawks
- 1:55:13Speaker 4: always like to act that they're all about character and
- 1:55:16Speaker 4: they won't sign guys like this, but they're always do.
- 1:55:19Speaker 4: It's so damn funny. Just admit it who you are. Oh,
- 1:55:23Speaker 4: just admit who you are and stop trying to be
- 1:55:26Speaker 4: something that you're not.
- 1:55:27Speaker 3: That coming from I.
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: Don't know you to find they always sign guys like that.
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know what you mean
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: by that.
- 1:55:32Speaker 3: I think that they have definitely given second chances.
- 1:55:36Speaker 5: They have.
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: I mean, listen, they've they've there's been some draft picks
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: along the way that have been a little bit you know,
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: the questionable Frank Clark Lake McDowell. I get that, you know,
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: Greg talks about the signing Quinton Dunbar, but I think
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: you're I think you're kind of exaggerating. And first of all,
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: I'll if we went and did a if we did
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: an audit of every team in uh in the NFL,
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: You're gonna find a few dudes that has prompt over here.
- 1:56:04Speaker 2: So I'm just geta tight that right now.
- 1:56:05Speaker 3: All right, football wins, right, football wins?
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: That is all we have time for Okay, we'll check
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: in with Softy next. All right, back at the only
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: classic Hi above the eighteenth grade, looking down at the
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: eighteenth fairway to a safty maler Is second shot. This
- 1:56:34Speaker 2: kid doesn't look Jewish. See what Maller does the second
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: shot and the skulls it into the fescue on the left.
- 1:56:41Speaker 15: That's gonna be a tough up and down chunk it.
- 1:56:44Speaker 15: I would have chunked it and busted my wrist. I
- 1:56:47Speaker 15: tell you I heard my wrist on a practice swing.
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: The other day. That's because you're old. It happens, buddy,
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: don't worry.
- 1:56:53Speaker 5: I don't think it's because I'm old, man.
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: It was it just a bad swing, just a bad swing.
- 1:56:59Speaker 4: That you know.
- 1:57:00Speaker 5: How do you freaking hurt your wrist on a practice swing, moron?
- 1:57:05Speaker 2: I don't know. There's oftentiled. I might go to the range.
