- 4:21Speaker 9: Not?
- 4:21Speaker 4: So?
- 4:22Speaker 7: Derek doesn't t off till later today. That's why he
- 4:24Speaker 7: was early yesterday. So I got up in normal time today,
- 4:26Speaker 7: didn't even have to didn't have to.
- 4:29Speaker 6: I haven't checked anything.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Oh you haven't. No, I thought that's what you were
- 4:32Speaker 1: in the car doing when I was wanting.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Finishing my makeup.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Oh I see, yeah.
- 4:38Speaker 7: But because I usually started at home, then I finish
- 4:41Speaker 7: it when I get here. Yeah, and then yeah, so
- 4:43Speaker 7: I I just turned it on.
- 4:45Speaker 1: So I okay, okay, okay, there you go. For those
- 4:49Speaker 1: that don't know, Ashley has a friend in the PGA
- 4:51Speaker 1: Championship a local guy works for PNW Golf Academy. Yes,
- 4:56Speaker 1: his name is Derek Berg, and he got off to
- 4:58Speaker 1: a bit of a slow start. She was nervous for
- 5:00Speaker 1: for him, but he started to once the knees stopped knocking.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Yesterday he started getting going.
- 5:05Speaker 6: Yeah, one under on the second nine.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. And so day number two today,
- 5:10Speaker 1: he's promised day number two and who knows, maybe he
- 5:12Speaker 1: catches fire.
- 5:13Speaker 6: To let's see what happens, right. I did send him
- 5:15Speaker 6: a text after.
- 5:16Speaker 7: I was like, okay, you got the hard part out
- 5:17Speaker 7: of the way, now you just get to go play golf.
- 5:19Speaker 7: And I got one one word response and it started
- 5:22Speaker 7: with an f oh and then a lot of us.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Oh, like just.
- 5:30Speaker 7: It was like not you, no, no, no, it was
- 5:33Speaker 7: just and I asked five iron, like okay. So, because
- 5:37Speaker 7: they had lunch after and everything, I said, how's he feeling.
- 5:39Speaker 7: He's like, so glad the first day is over. Yeah,
- 5:42Speaker 7: he's just glad that's done.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Again, though, I mean, there's there's never been a better
- 5:48Speaker 1: reason for you to be your most nervous exactly.
- 5:50Speaker 6: Then yes, yeah, yeah, play some golf and have fun.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You checked AFLL that you played in a major for
- 5:56Speaker 1: goodness sake. Yeah, and then you and then halfway through it,
- 6:00Speaker 1: you calm him down and started playing golf like you're
- 6:02Speaker 1: capable of. Yeah, man, you're on top of the world.
- 6:06Speaker 7: Berg and you did it in front of fifty to
- 6:08Speaker 7: sixty thousand people MBD. Right, yeah, gosh that I do
- 6:12Speaker 7: stuff in front of fifty to sixty thousand people on
- 6:14Speaker 7: a day to day basis.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So you're used to it. Yeah, right.
- 6:19Speaker 6: I just go to the grocery store and I got
- 6:20Speaker 6: like a crowd watching me. Will she pick the right pepper?
- 6:23Speaker 1: Exactly? It's pressure, yeah, pressure being as famous as Ashley
- 6:27Speaker 1: and I.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Oh, it's a lot of work.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know we make it look easy.
- 6:30Speaker 6: Yeah, we do.
- 6:31Speaker 1: That's a good thing about us. Take it in stride.
- 6:34Speaker 1: That's the way it works around here. So is five
- 6:36Speaker 1: Iron having the time of his life? Iive Iron is
- 6:38Speaker 1: back home? Oh wow?
- 6:40Speaker 6: Yeah he So he.
- 6:41Speaker 7: Only got to watch one day, So he went and
- 6:42Speaker 7: watched the practice rounds, did all that, and then he
- 6:46Speaker 7: knew when he booked the trip he had to come
- 6:48Speaker 7: back last night because he had signed up for his
- 6:50Speaker 7: own golf tournament at Milk Creek and he didn't want
- 6:51Speaker 7: to let his.
- 6:52Speaker 6: Partner down by bailing on his partner.
- 6:54Speaker 7: So he is back home. Wow, he said about He
- 6:58Speaker 7: said a couple of words to me. Yeah, he said
- 6:59Speaker 7: a couple of words. This morning he woke up. Your
- 7:03Speaker 7: hat's in my backpack. If you want to wear it today,
- 7:06Speaker 7: I said, I do, so, this is a that's my
- 7:08Speaker 7: iernomy cat. Oh no, he said, I do want to
- 7:10Speaker 7: wear my hat today, Thank you so much. And then yeah,
- 7:14Speaker 7: he teas off at one and he's got a two
- 7:16Speaker 7: day tournament on his own. We're just we're just golfing
- 7:18Speaker 7: and jet setting. That's what we do in our house.
- 7:20Speaker 1: That guy's like bezos, he is.
- 7:23Speaker 6: And I tell him that a lot. You know, I
- 7:26Speaker 6: do feel like Lauren Sanchez very rich.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, I'm a little disappointed by
- 7:32Speaker 1: that because I was picturing five iron last night, you know,
- 7:36Speaker 1: like doing belly shots off Hideki matsu Yama last night.
- 7:40Speaker 7: But they did that during the practice rounds. That's because
- 7:42Speaker 7: you get all your fun out in practice. Now it's business.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Him and Patrick Reed.
- 7:46Speaker 6: You know, he doesn't like Pat Patrick Reed. No, I don't.
- 7:50Speaker 1: By the suddenly he's like, man, this Patrick Reid guy's
- 7:52Speaker 1: really cool. How do you believe it.
- 7:53Speaker 6: I wouldn't let him come home.
- 7:55Speaker 7: Yeah, if all of a sudden he decided to, like
- 7:57Speaker 7: Patrick reed, he's got to stay there.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Him and Sky Scheffler playing roe Shambau.
- 8:01Speaker 6: And a horn, definitely would do that.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You know, like to see who goes first in air hockey?
- 8:07Speaker 6: Yeah, good stuff.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Shuffle board, Yeah, that's what I was trying to think of.
- 8:11Speaker 1: What's the shuffle board when with the sand it's called
- 8:13Speaker 1: shuffle board, that isn't I think? So even the handheld
- 8:16Speaker 1: shuffle board is a shuffle board.
- 8:18Speaker 6: That's a great question. Maybe the four nine four or
- 8:19Speaker 6: five one.
- 8:20Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to think of, But then
- 8:22Speaker 1: I couldn't remember the name, so I just went air hockey.
- 8:25Speaker 6: I mean air hockey's great too.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Yeah, like like Soufle was dominating air hockey, and I
- 8:30Speaker 1: got next and five Iron said at the exact same
- 8:34Speaker 1: time that you know, Kurt Kitty Yama said it, and
- 8:38Speaker 1: suddenly they had to row Shambeau for the winner.
- 8:41Speaker 7: I feel like you've been at a lot of golf
- 8:42Speaker 7: tournaments because you are nailing it.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I think that's exactly. I think that's exactly how it went. Absolutely,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and if it didn't go down that way. Don't tell me, because.
- 8:50Speaker 6: It's all at a house that they all rent and
- 8:51Speaker 6: stand together.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Well, I kind of pictured a ski lodge sort of
- 8:56Speaker 1: things like a chateau, right, yeah, yeah, if it's not that,
- 9:00Speaker 1: I don't want to know.
- 9:01Speaker 6: No, I agree, I don't either.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I ruined my imagination with you. Yeah, all right, Well
- 9:06Speaker 1: let's get it started here today. The NFL schedule obviously
- 9:10Speaker 1: a big topic all week long, and we now know it.
- 9:14Speaker 4: It is.
- 9:15Speaker 1: It's cut and dry at this point, and so I
- 9:19Speaker 1: know that the fellas had a chance to react in
- 9:22Speaker 1: real time to it yesterday. Once again, the schedule came
- 9:25Speaker 1: out before five o'clock.
- 9:27Speaker 6: Shocking.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I know that they spent a lot
- 9:30Speaker 1: of time on a last night, but we haven't spent
- 9:32Speaker 1: any time on the actual schedule. All we've dealt with
- 9:36Speaker 1: so far is leakage to this point. So for it
- 9:39Speaker 1: all to be out, we now get a chance to
- 9:42Speaker 1: break it down. Greg Bell will join us at seven
- 9:44Speaker 1: o five today. It will be the New England Patriots
- 9:47Speaker 1: on opening day. We knew that ninety nine percent yesterday,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and so we'll open with a Super Bowl rematch. Neither
- 9:56Speaker 1: Ashley or I really like that. I don't even like
- 9:59Speaker 1: the ey I have a Super Bowl rematch to start
- 10:02Speaker 1: the next.
- 10:02Speaker 6: Season, No, I mean, you don't need it to be
- 10:04Speaker 6: the last game in the first.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Game, and that doesn't even have anything to do with
- 10:07Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I don't like that. Whenever they do something
- 10:10Speaker 1: like that, well build the anticipation, and then I keep
- 10:14Speaker 1: bringing up the Russini thing just quickly. I mean, I
- 10:18Speaker 1: don't like the fact that that's going to be a
- 10:20Speaker 1: major story on the day that you open the NFL season.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I would have thought they wanted to avoid that, but
- 10:26Speaker 1: apparently any attention is good attention in business, and the
- 10:32Speaker 1: NFL is big business, and so not only did they
- 10:36Speaker 1: try to avoid it like I would have they seem
- 10:39Speaker 1: to want to embrace all of the coverage that Vrabel
- 10:43Speaker 1: and Russini have gotten because you know it's still going
- 10:46Speaker 1: to be around on opening day when a brand new
- 10:49Speaker 1: season starts in the head coach has gone through a
- 10:52Speaker 1: very rare, if not unique, type of offseason. Certainly that's
- 10:57Speaker 1: going to have to be discussed for the next five
- 11:00Speaker 1: five months leading up to opening day as the pregames
- 11:03Speaker 1: show starts.
- 11:04Speaker 7: Now, Yeah, and I think we'd be naive to think
- 11:06Speaker 7: that it would have passed by then, because again, as
- 11:09Speaker 7: I brought up yesterday, she still hasn't talked, and she's
- 11:12Speaker 7: dragging this out for a while.
- 11:13Speaker 6: She's probably waiting to see what money she can get.
- 11:15Speaker 7: To talk, and when that happens, it's gonna start all
- 11:20Speaker 7: over again. And then when training camp happens, it's gonna
- 11:24Speaker 7: start all over again. If the if there's any drama
- 11:26Speaker 7: at Patriots camp, it's gonna oh, well, are the Patriots
- 11:30Speaker 7: not are the players not trusting Vrabel?
- 11:32Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's it's just gonna keep happening.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear you elsewhere though, on the schedule,
- 11:39Speaker 1: then it'll be at the Cardinals and at the Commanders
- 11:42Speaker 1: the next two games. And so you start at home
- 11:45Speaker 1: against the team that you pounded the last time you
- 11:47Speaker 1: played a football game, and you carry all those good
- 11:51Speaker 1: vibes of Opening Day and all of that pomp and circumstance,
- 11:56Speaker 1: and then you get two very winnable road games early
- 12:00Speaker 1: on in the season. So it does kind of map
- 12:02Speaker 1: out for a good start. I mean, Patriots are really good.
- 12:07Speaker 1: But then again, to play at home with all that energy,
- 12:11Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a put wnls by the schedule
- 12:15Speaker 1: as soon as it comes out. Kind of guy, I
- 12:18Speaker 1: kind of like following the season. But yeah, nonetheless, if
- 12:24Speaker 1: you were envisioning a three and oh start with the
- 12:27Speaker 1: difficult schedule the Seahawks, a first play schedule that the
- 12:29Speaker 1: Seahawks are going to have to face this year, I mean,
- 12:32Speaker 1: that's about as good a recipe as you could be
- 12:34Speaker 1: handed home against the Patriots and knockout two of your
- 12:38Speaker 1: lesser opponents that you'll have to face this season on
- 12:42Speaker 1: the road. Feels three and oh to.
- 12:43Speaker 6: Me, very three and oh weeks I would agree with that.
- 12:46Speaker 7: I mean, I guess, barring something you can't see, but
- 12:50Speaker 7: seems like it.
- 12:51Speaker 6: Yeah, seems like a safe bet.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Home against the Chargers, home against the forty nine Ers,
- 12:56Speaker 1: that's a that's a little that's a battle right there.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Even though I I mean I said this at the
- 13:01Speaker 1: beginning of last year and was wrong, well, at least
- 13:04Speaker 1: I was wrong from the terms of the forty nine
- 13:06Speaker 1: ers record last season, I think the Seahawks exposed the
- 13:11Speaker 1: forty nine Ers for not being nearly as good as
- 13:14Speaker 1: their record indicated at the end of last year, and
- 13:17Speaker 1: so I kind of am going I'm gonna do the
- 13:20Speaker 1: same thing. I'm to tell you right now, I'm going
- 13:22Speaker 1: to predict a very average season for the San Francisco
- 13:26Speaker 1: forty nine ers. But everybody else will tell you how
- 13:29Speaker 1: great these the forty nine ers are and how difficult
- 13:32Speaker 1: to stretch. That's going to be. So Chargers forty nine
- 13:35Speaker 1: Ers in the next two games.
- 13:36Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think the Chargers game, Yeah, that's gonna
- 13:38Speaker 7: be a tough one.
- 13:39Speaker 6: But being at home makes it.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:43Speaker 7: I like our chances. They are forty nine ers. I
- 13:45Speaker 7: would think at home we would have no problem with them.
- 13:47Speaker 7: But I'll tell you one thing I will not be
- 13:48Speaker 7: doing with the forty nine ers this year, and that
- 13:49Speaker 7: is predicting anything with their win loss record. When we
- 13:53Speaker 7: pick our over unders, I'm staying far away from them.
- 13:56Speaker 7: They screwed me last year.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'm still gonna do it at Denver and then home
- 14:02Speaker 1: against Kansas City, and that's going to be So here's
- 14:07Speaker 1: the difficult part of this. The stretch of the schedule
- 14:09Speaker 1: is that you're going to take on the Chargers and
- 14:11Speaker 1: then the forty nine ers, and whether they're average or
- 14:15Speaker 1: better than average or whatever they're going to be, it's
- 14:17Speaker 1: still a division. Robbie got to get up for it,
- 14:20Speaker 1: and then you play on Sunday and turn around on
- 14:25Speaker 1: Thursday and have to play at Denver. So that's that
- 14:29Speaker 1: in itself. That's a tough stretch, probably the toughest stretch
- 14:34Speaker 1: for the Seahawks this year, because then your next game
- 14:36Speaker 1: is at home against Kansas City and then you face
- 14:38Speaker 1: the Bears, who are expected to be really good this year.
- 14:42Speaker 1: And I think we're all expecting some level of bounce
- 14:45Speaker 1: back for the Kansas City chief So if there's a
- 14:48Speaker 1: tough stretch, it's between that and the one at the
- 14:52Speaker 1: end of the year. But you're gonna have one of those,
- 14:55Speaker 1: there's no there's no avoiding it. And I just heard
- 14:58Speaker 1: this morning that there's a ken Walker revenge game for
- 15:03Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean that just goes to
- 15:06Speaker 1: show you if you're not following it as closely from
- 15:09Speaker 1: a national perspective as people do local. I mean, maybe
- 15:13Speaker 1: in ken Walker's really kind heart, he was like, oh God,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I get revenge. Yeah, I don't see it as that.
- 15:20Speaker 1: I mean, yes, he felt that the Seahawks did not
- 15:24Speaker 1: give him the opportunity to establish himself as a clear
- 15:27Speaker 1: cut Number one. Ken Walker holds that grudge against the Seahawks. Yes,
- 15:31Speaker 1: but I have aveling ken Walker really doesn't hold many grudges.
- 15:34Speaker 1: He's just such a nice boy. He seems like it, Yeah,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and so I don't really see it that way. Also,
- 15:41Speaker 1: it's not like the Seahawks dissed him. They gave him
- 15:43Speaker 1: a twelve million dollar offer.
- 15:45Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not like they didn't offer him anything, and
- 15:46Speaker 7: they just said, no, we don't want you, and.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I promise you that made them uncomfortable. I promise you.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Twelve million is not what they wanted to pay for
- 15:53Speaker 1: ken Walker, but they they did it anyway, and so
- 16:00Speaker 1: they wanted to keep him. I think they made a
- 16:02Speaker 1: strong effort to keep him, but there was no way
- 16:04Speaker 1: they were going to go to fifteen million to keep
- 16:06Speaker 1: ken Walker.
- 16:07Speaker 10: Well.
- 16:07Speaker 7: No, And it was interesting listening to that conversation about
- 16:09Speaker 7: the revenge game too, because the way it was phrased
- 16:11Speaker 7: was like, yeah, I mean, why would he of course
- 16:14Speaker 7: he wants revenge, the Seahawks said, or he Zach Charbonau
- 16:18Speaker 7: gets injured and ken Walker steps up and becomes the
- 16:21Speaker 7: Super Bowl MVP, and they just say, okay, thanks, No,
- 16:24Speaker 7: that's not what they did, as you said, they offered
- 16:26Speaker 7: him money to say, it just wasn't as much as
- 16:29Speaker 7: what the Chiefs offered him. And as we talked about
- 16:32Speaker 7: before that, if you're Ken Walker, yeah go take the
- 16:34Speaker 7: most money that you can get. I don't blame him
- 16:37Speaker 7: for doing that, and I don't blame the Seahawks for
- 16:39Speaker 7: not offering more than twelve.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Then you've got Cardinals at home and then at the Raiders,
- 16:45Speaker 1: and then a bye so that might be viewed as
- 16:48Speaker 1: your softest part of the schedule right there, if the
- 16:52Speaker 1: Cardinals are indeed in rebuilding, and the Raiders might be
- 16:55Speaker 1: starting a rookie quarterback at that point. And then you
- 16:58Speaker 1: have the bye week, which we discussed, of course earlier
- 17:01Speaker 1: this week. And if you heard that conversation, you know
- 17:05Speaker 1: I'm thrilled with the bye week. That's perfect week eleven.
- 17:09Speaker 1: And then your trip to Vegas. You actually can let
- 17:12Speaker 1: the guys hang out for a couple of days if
- 17:14Speaker 1: they want. Yeah, you know, you're on your own right now.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Don't get arrested, don't do anything stupid. Yeah, you know,
- 17:20Speaker 1: maybe going pairs so that you can look out for
- 17:22Speaker 1: one another. But home against the Cardinals, at the Raiders,
- 17:27Speaker 1: and then a little fun potentially before you come home
- 17:33Speaker 1: and then plenty of time to rest up for the
- 17:35Speaker 1: grueling final stretch of the season. I like that stretch,
- 17:40Speaker 1: and I love the bye week. Yeah.
- 17:41Speaker 7: Ay, as I said, anything after week ten and I'm
- 17:43Speaker 7: good with the bye week, So week eleven there is perfect.
- 17:47Speaker 7: And yeah, especially when you look at the way that
- 17:49Speaker 7: that schedule, just a couple of weeks before that and
- 17:52Speaker 7: then what you're going to be facing after that, I
- 17:54Speaker 7: think it falls perfectly.
- 17:56Speaker 1: At forty nine ers coming out of the by home
- 17:58Speaker 1: to the Cowboys, home to the Giants, who everybody keeps
- 18:01Speaker 1: saying is going to be much improved. If you believe that,
- 18:04Speaker 1: then you believe an awful lot in Jackson Dart. I'm
- 18:07Speaker 1: not sure he can get through a game without a concussion,
- 18:09Speaker 1: so I'm not sure yet. Yeah, I have the same
- 18:12Speaker 1: faith as others do in Jackson Dart's capabilities. But almost
- 18:18Speaker 1: every talking head nationally says the Giants are a team
- 18:22Speaker 1: that could be this year's Patriots at Philadelphia. Here's here's
- 18:27Speaker 1: the stretch at Philadelphia home against the Rams on Christmas
- 18:32Speaker 1: at Carolina, And that's not as easily dismissed as it's
- 18:36Speaker 1: been in the past. They did make the playoffs last year.
- 18:39Speaker 6: But how do we end up at Carolina two years
- 18:41Speaker 6: in a row.
- 18:42Speaker 1: That's just how the cook the second the last of
- 18:44Speaker 1: the season. We're at the Commander's two years in a row.
- 18:46Speaker 7: Two, but it's just second to the last game of
- 18:48Speaker 7: the season. Two years in a row, we're at Carolina.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're better. They were obviously a better team
- 18:52Speaker 1: a year ago, and they were a young team that
- 18:54Speaker 1: had improved a year ago, so that might not be
- 18:57Speaker 1: the typical, oh good, well, we'll get Carolina on the
- 19:00Speaker 1: road kind of experience, and then you finish at the Rams.
- 19:04Speaker 1: So you've got the Rams two of the last three
- 19:06Speaker 1: games of the season, and we will certainly dive into
- 19:09Speaker 1: that a little bit later on in the show. So
- 19:11Speaker 1: there's your schedule. It is out. There are no more
- 19:16Speaker 1: than two straight road games. There will be a stretch
- 19:19Speaker 1: of three straight home games though for the Seahawks. There
- 19:23Speaker 1: are six primetime games that the Seahawks landed, so didn't
- 19:27Speaker 1: get insulted in that area. Thought they got an ideal
- 19:30Speaker 1: bye week out of this. And yeah, there are a
- 19:33Speaker 1: couple of tough stretches, but you knew that when you're
- 19:36Speaker 1: gonna have to face a first place team schedule going
- 19:40Speaker 1: into the year, I thought, for the most part, not
- 19:43Speaker 1: much to complain about.
- 19:44Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I don't have I mean, my only issues
- 19:47Speaker 7: are the same things we brought up yesterday, and that
- 19:48Speaker 7: was I don't like the Week one matchup with the Patriots.
- 19:51Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't like that we're playing on Christmas Day.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Those are just personal in terms of NOG Can you
- 19:58Speaker 1: post your best record with this?
- 20:00Speaker 7: I think I think you've got it. The way it
- 20:02Speaker 7: worked out looks good, and I have no problems with that.
- 20:04Speaker 7: It's just yeah, my own personal things.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right. Greg Bell will join us at
- 20:09Speaker 1: seven o five to discuss it. Let's find out what
- 20:11Speaker 1: else is on tap, what's on what's on tep? Well?
- 20:19Speaker 1: Speaking of Patrick Reid, five Iron's new best friend, he's
- 20:23Speaker 1: three under par right now, one under four of the
- 20:25Speaker 1: day and suddenly is a top the leader board along
- 20:29Speaker 1: with a lot of guys like men Wu Lee you've
- 20:32Speaker 1: certainly heard of if your golf fans, you've heard of
- 20:36Speaker 1: all of them. Geter, Yeah, if you're a novice, then
- 20:40Speaker 1: you probably haven't heard of most of the guys at
- 20:42Speaker 1: the top of the leader board, including Aldrich Poltergeist.
- 20:47Speaker 6: Oh yes, sorry, I forgot that's how we're pronouncing it.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Yes, Scottie Scheffler was three under at the end of
- 20:53Speaker 1: day one and tied with the lead. He's won over
- 20:55Speaker 1: so far today only through two. Kate Blanchette apparently is
- 20:59Speaker 1: in the tournament this year. Man, she's talented, god, beautiful golfer.
- 21:06Speaker 1: What can't Kate Blanchette do. She's two under par apparently
- 21:10Speaker 1: at the PGA Championship. And so that's the early. We
- 21:14Speaker 1: will keep you up to date on this throughout the
- 21:15Speaker 1: course of the show, and we have official PGA updates
- 21:18Speaker 1: coming your way starting at eight twenty and twenty after
- 21:21Speaker 1: the hour, every single hour for the rest of the day.
- 21:25Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs they went dark last night, no games last
- 21:29Speaker 1: night so that they could set up tonight's double header.
- 21:31Speaker 1: So you got two game six's to close out potential
- 21:34Speaker 1: games for the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. They'll play the
- 21:38Speaker 1: first one at four o'clock and then the second game
- 21:40Speaker 1: will be Minnesota hosting the Spurs. The Spurs have a
- 21:44Speaker 1: chance to close out the Timberwolves tonight. If not, they'll
- 21:48Speaker 1: play Sunday. Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Golden Knights of Las Vegas. Man,
- 21:53Speaker 1: they are good. They are really good. They advanced to
- 21:55Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals, knocking out the Anaheim Mighty Ducks,
- 21:59Speaker 1: and now the weight game is on. We're all waiting
- 22:02Speaker 1: on you Sabers Canadians. Could you just speed it up
- 22:06Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 22:06Speaker 7: I'd like them to not speed it up because I
- 22:08Speaker 7: would like the Sabers to win again.
- 22:10Speaker 1: There is not another game for a while. The Carolina
- 22:14Speaker 1: Hurricanes might go twelve days without playing hockey before the
- 22:18Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals start. Crazy if Montreal and Buffalo goes
- 22:22Speaker 1: the distance seven games. Right now, Montreal is up three
- 22:25Speaker 1: games to two over the Sabres. Preakness is going to
- 22:29Speaker 1: be on Saturday, and so Eddie Olchick's going to join
- 22:31Speaker 1: us later this hour to talk both ponies and pucks
- 22:34Speaker 1: as he did earlier this week and told us put
- 22:37Speaker 1: me back on on Friday and I'll make my picks.
- 22:40Speaker 1: So we'll get Eddie Olchick's picks for the Preakness coming
- 22:44Speaker 1: up later this hour. Sounders will be in action against
- 22:46Speaker 1: the Galaxy tomorrow at home at six point fifteen. This
- 22:50Speaker 1: will be their second MLS game this week. I do
- 22:53Speaker 1: not understand how they schedule. Mariners won eight to three
- 22:57Speaker 1: over the Houston Astros to take three out of four
- 23:00Speaker 1: in Houston, moved back within a game under five hundreds
- 23:04Speaker 1: of their game within from five hundred, and they could
- 23:07Speaker 1: get that done tonight against the San Diego Padres, who
- 23:10Speaker 1: they will host throughout the weekend. Meanwhile, cal Raley, as
- 23:13Speaker 1: you know, placed on the injury list yesterday. And look
- 23:16Speaker 1: how Mitch Garver celebrated being the starting catcher for the
- 23:19Speaker 1: Mariners this year. He homered for the first time yesterday,
- 23:23Speaker 1: and so we'll talk about that. Mariners Morning After comes
- 23:27Speaker 1: your way next. Good Friday morning to you all. Sports
- 23:30Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KHRFM. Ray, Good morning to
- 23:39Speaker 1: you all. Happy Friday. It is Chuck and Ashley with you.
- 23:42Speaker 1: And earlier this week we had the pleasure, it's always
- 23:45Speaker 1: a pleasure to chat with Eddie Olcik. I get to
- 23:48Speaker 1: call him Edzo because we become fast friends. Not everybody
- 23:52Speaker 1: gets to do that, apparently, but he came on with
- 23:55Speaker 1: us to talk some hockey and the next thing you know,
- 23:57Speaker 1: we're talking ponies and pucks. We're talking about the Preakness.
- 24:01Speaker 1: If you didn't already know, ed Olcheck is a huge
- 24:05Speaker 1: fan of horse racing, and so I asked him for
- 24:09Speaker 1: his picks at the end of the interview, and he said, Chuck,
- 24:11Speaker 1: come on, now, you know I don't do that to me.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I haven't had time to break it down yet, but
- 24:17Speaker 1: if you call me later on the week on Friday,
- 24:20Speaker 1: I'll have my picks ready to go. Well, you don't
- 24:23Speaker 1: have to tell Ashley and I twice we called up
- 24:26Speaker 1: Eddie O and we now have him on the radio
- 24:28Speaker 1: program to get his picks. How are you, sir?
- 24:32Speaker 8: Well, good morning, Chuck. How's everything? And how's everything in Seattle?
- 24:35Speaker 1: This morning? Everything is great? How are things really? Where
- 24:38Speaker 1: are you right now?
- 24:39Speaker 8: I'm actually just got home from Colorado. I did Game
- 24:45Speaker 8: five of that series where the Avalanche had the big
- 24:47Speaker 8: comeback down three nothing in Minnesota and they advanced to
- 24:51Speaker 8: the conference finals, and last night we saw their partner
- 24:53Speaker 8: and it'll be the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western
- 24:55Speaker 8: Conference Final starting sometime next week. So I'm actually back
- 25:00Speaker 8: in Chicago. I have the week, oh fam and being
- 25:08Speaker 8: able to sit on my couch and be able to
- 25:11Speaker 8: watch the Racist tomorrow. So looking forward an off weekend.
- 25:14Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get your Avalanche Golden Knights pick first.
- 25:18Speaker 1: And then we'll get your Preakness picks.
- 25:23Speaker 8: Well, I mean, Vegas is playing really well. They're getting
- 25:26Speaker 8: great goaltending from Carter Hart. They didn't get that towards
- 25:29Speaker 8: the end of the season. Then he ended up making
- 25:31Speaker 8: the coaching change where Bruce Cassidy was out. John Tortorella
- 25:35Speaker 8: came in, just tweaked a couple of things, but they
- 25:38Speaker 8: got healthy, they got Carter Hart Beck the goaltender, and
- 25:42Speaker 8: here they are four wins away from going to another
- 25:44Speaker 8: Cup Final. Colorado just seems to be at another level though, Chuck,
- 25:49Speaker 8: we have depth. They were missing a couple of huge
- 25:52Speaker 8: players in the last couple of games in that series
- 25:55Speaker 8: against Minnesota r Terry Lekinon and Sam Malinsky. On the
- 25:58Speaker 8: back end, Cale McCarry looks like he's banged up. The
- 26:01Speaker 8: tremendous defenseman there, but just looks like to me, Colorado
- 26:05Speaker 8: just might have the depth and have the wherewithal to
- 26:10Speaker 8: be able to overcome any adversity. So I would I
- 26:14Speaker 8: expect it to be a longer series. I mean, I'm
- 26:16Speaker 8: hearing people thinking Colorado and five or six. I'm thinking
- 26:20Speaker 8: more six or seven, because I do think Vegas has
- 26:23Speaker 8: the experience to be able to push them and defensively
- 26:28Speaker 8: be able to stay with Colorado. But I think somehow,
- 26:32Speaker 8: some way Colorado finds his way to the cup file.
- 26:34Speaker 1: All right, Eddie Elchik is with us here on chalking
- 26:37Speaker 1: Buck in the morning, talking pucks and ponies, as he
- 26:39Speaker 1: put it earlier this week. So who we taken at
- 26:43Speaker 1: the Preakness Stakes tomorrow? Everybody has pen and paper out
- 26:47Speaker 1: right now, ed Zoe, we want to know where you're
- 26:49Speaker 1: going with this.
- 26:51Speaker 8: All right, So about four o'clock Pacific tomorrow on NBC
- 26:57Speaker 8: the running of the Preakness, which this year will be
- 26:59Speaker 8: run at Laurel Racetrack. Usually it's running Baltimore at Pimlico,
- 27:03Speaker 8: but they're under some construction there. So it's gonna be
- 27:06Speaker 8: run tomorrow about four o'clock your time. And I'm gonna
- 27:10Speaker 8: look at number ten, Napoleon Solo, who comes out of
- 27:14Speaker 8: a live race in New York back on the fourth
- 27:17Speaker 8: of April, and that particular race. The third place finisher
- 27:23Speaker 8: of that particular race ended up running third in the
- 27:26Speaker 8: Kentucky Derby the horse by the name of o'celly. Now
- 27:29Speaker 8: with Ocelli chuck the horse has never won before. It
- 27:32Speaker 8: still hasn't won, but o'celly is running in the Preaknes tomorrow.
- 27:37Speaker 8: He will be number two. But I think Napoleon Solo
- 27:40Speaker 8: Ranny better race back in April and New York. I
- 27:43Speaker 8: think you'll see number ten up close.
- 27:47Speaker 1: I don't want to.
- 27:47Speaker 8: See the number ten on the lead. They're going a
- 27:50Speaker 8: mile in three sixteenths. But I feel that Napoleon Solo
- 27:53Speaker 8: Ranny very good race in that last race in New York.
- 27:56Speaker 8: Even though he got he finished fifth. Never stop trying.
- 28:00Speaker 8: I'm gonna look for a horse that could be close,
- 28:03Speaker 8: make that big run down down the stretch and hopefully
- 28:07Speaker 8: hold off morning lines eight to one. So my prick
- 28:10Speaker 8: will be number ten Napoleon Solo. I'm also gonna use
- 28:13Speaker 8: number nine Iron Honor. I'm gonna use number two Ocelly,
- 28:17Speaker 8: who I mentioned ran third in the Kentucky Derby and
- 28:20Speaker 8: number five talking.
- 28:21Speaker 1: So number ten nice.
- 28:23Speaker 8: Number nine, number two and number five and race thirteen
- 28:27Speaker 8: at Laurel tomorrow.
- 28:28Speaker 1: I got Bill Bentter on the phone with me here.
- 28:31Speaker 1: I got Jerry Bailey breaking it down for us in
- 28:34Speaker 1: Eddie Olchick right now? So can I play? Will they
- 28:38Speaker 1: let me play? A parlay of the Avalanche and Napoleon
- 28:41Speaker 1: Solo at any sports book. Think that'll be allowed.
- 28:46Speaker 8: You might have to physically do that, and considering the
- 28:50Speaker 8: races tomorrow. So if you want to do, you know,
- 28:52Speaker 8: get ten dollars the way on Napoleon Solo. Maybe you
- 28:56Speaker 8: get back, hopefully you get back north of eighty dollars,
- 28:59Speaker 8: and then you take that eighty dollars and do what
- 29:01Speaker 8: you want with it. With the Colorado Avalanche.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Ashley says that she's trust you so much she's gonna
- 29:06Speaker 1: put her child's entire college fund on Napoleon Solo. Would
- 29:10Speaker 1: you recommend that?
- 29:13Speaker 8: No, answer the question, No, I would not not the
- 29:17Speaker 8: entire part, but maybe a portion the portion.
- 29:20Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, I mean to be fair, her college fund
- 29:22Speaker 7: is like twenty bucks right now, so put.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Ten on it. Okay, ten of the twenty Yeah, a
- 29:28Speaker 1: good solid hat.
- 29:29Speaker 8: Actually, actually, I'll sponsor ten for you. How's that all? Right?
- 29:34Speaker 6: Here we go, let's do this.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Well, thank you for coming through for us, So we
- 29:39Speaker 1: appreciate it. It's been great having you on a couple
- 29:42Speaker 1: of times this week. And now I've got a Now

- 29:52Speaker 8: me appreciate it.

- 30:06Speaker 7: horse expert.

- 30:09Speaker 1: He can break it down, all right. Greg Bell's gonna

- 30:36Speaker 4: Second home run today.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Buy Americas. That's the thing. But that home run yesterday?
- 30:49Speaker 1: You know what he reminded me of what Bucky Jacobson.
- 30:54Speaker 7: Like, how Bucky hits some runs or how just the approach,
- 30:57Speaker 7: the approach, Yeah, yeah, very like maybe maybe Garver's got
- 31:02Speaker 7: a little more. I would say Garver's approach to the
- 31:06Speaker 7: or two at bats is probably very similar to what
- 31:08Speaker 7: Bucky would do.
- 31:09Speaker 1: It was weird. It was almost like what am I
- 31:11Speaker 1: am I seeing double Yeah, having flashbacks.
- 31:14Speaker 6: It's like Bucky's non ginger brother, identical twin.
- 31:19Speaker 1: I've never said anything that has made him want to
- 31:22Speaker 1: want him to punch me more.
- 31:24Speaker 6: He might come into the office actually hearing know.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Yeah, he's wanted to punch me a lot too. So
- 31:28Speaker 1: for me to have finally found something good put him
- 31:32Speaker 1: over the edge. Good morning, Welcome in. It is Chuck

- 32:06Speaker 6: Yeah, Rich makes us all right.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Headlines brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps. Light Choose Chill,
- 32:12Speaker 1: Mariners do Win. You heard the highlight there on Mariners TV.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Mitch Garver did Homer, but the bigger hit was Luke
- 32:17Speaker 1: Rayley's sort of dominance, establishing three run shot and the
- 32:22Speaker 1: very first inning the Ms cruise to an eight to
- 32:25Speaker 1: three win over a team that used to be a rival.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's turned easy. Eight to three was the
- 32:32Speaker 1: final score over the Astros. So despite that crummy loss
- 32:36Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Mariners get the job done in Texas. They
- 32:39Speaker 1: take three out of four from the Astros. They moved
- 32:43Speaker 1: back within a game of five hundred, something they can
- 32:46Speaker 1: rectify over the weekend. You can get two five hundred
- 32:49Speaker 1: by taking the series against the San Diego Padres this weekend.
- 32:53Speaker 1: How about we come to work on Monday and we're
- 32:56Speaker 1: over five hundred. Yes, please, which means you've swept the Padres. Yeah, yeah,
- 33:01Speaker 1: sign up for it. We'll start a sheet. Emerson Hancock
- 33:05Speaker 1: gets the start tonight for the Mariners, who'll go up
- 33:07Speaker 1: against Randy Vasquez. If you're having a little deja vu,
- 33:11Speaker 1: it is because they just faced off about two weeks
- 33:14Speaker 1: ago in San Diego. The same two pitchers. First pitch
- 33:17Speaker 1: will be six forty and that is a home game tonight. Elsewhere,
- 33:22Speaker 1: we've got the PGA Championship going on day number two
- 33:25Speaker 1: of the second major of the golf year. Thus far,
- 33:29Speaker 1: you're looking at five guys atop the leader board at
- 33:33Speaker 1: three under par, but not really a big name. The
- 33:35Speaker 1: biggest name among them probably Men woo Lee. Maybe Ashley
- 33:39Speaker 1: would correct me on that, No, I agree, Yeah, Men
- 33:41Speaker 1: woo Lee's probably the biggest name in that group. Scotty
- 33:44Speaker 1: Scheffler started the day tied for the lead, but he's
- 33:47Speaker 1: two over on the day and he's only played three holes,
- 33:50Speaker 1: so Scotty's not off to a great start. There was
- 33:52Speaker 1: already anger yesterday. You know John Rahm fighting people. You
- 33:56Speaker 1: know Rory McElroy cursing.
- 34:00Speaker 6: Drama.
- 34:00Speaker 1: There was a Bryson de Shambo just was de shamboles yesterday.
- 34:05Speaker 1: It was a rough day for some big names in golf. Yeah.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Also NBA playoffs they went dark last night, so a
- 34:12Speaker 1: doubleheader tonight. Two Game six is Cleveland can wrap things
- 34:16Speaker 1: up at home against the Pistons, and then it will
- 34:18Speaker 1: be the Spurs trying to wrap it up on the
- 34:20Speaker 1: road against Minnesota. Stanley Cup playoffs, Las Vegas advanced over
- 34:24Speaker 1: Anaheim and now we play the waiting game. It's gonna
- 34:27Speaker 1: be about six days before we play another hockey game.
- 34:31Speaker 1: In the Western Conference Finals, the Carolina Hurricanes might go
- 34:34Speaker 1: twelve days between games in the Eastern Conference as they
- 34:38Speaker 1: wait for Montreal and Buffalo to wrap things up. The
- 34:41Speaker 1: Canadians up three games to two thanks to their six
- 34:45Speaker 1: to three win last night. Creakness is on Saturday at
- 34:47Speaker 1: the Old Tchick's already given us his tips if you
- 34:50Speaker 1: missed him, we'll have them for you in the O
- 34:51Speaker 1: Show at eight o'clock Sounders Galaxy tomorrow, And of course
- 34:56Speaker 1: it's time to talk some NFL schedule release with our
- 34:58Speaker 1: Seahawks insider career Egg Bell now joins us on the show.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Hi Greg, Hi, good morning. Sorry. I had a lot
- 35:05Speaker 1: of headlines to get through. You kept you.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Yeah, he threw me off. No intro, no run up,
- 35:10Speaker 4: no music.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to come up with a new intro.
- 35:13Speaker 1: It turns out, so I guess we could have gone
- 35:15Speaker 1: back to the Christmas bills, you know, could have what.
- 35:18Speaker 4: Happened to what happened to bubbly stuff, Well just.
- 35:22Speaker 7: Temporarily because they booked for a football season and we're
- 35:26Speaker 7: not in football season.
- 35:27Speaker 4: Right right, Okay.
- 35:32Speaker 1: We'll get them back. Yeah, it's I mean, you and
- 35:34Speaker 1: Coppola Diamond Collection Prosecco go hand in hand, strong arm them.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Yes, it's anonymous.
- 35:40Speaker 1: I know, all right, So we've got a schedule. You
- 35:46Speaker 1: now know where you're going to be this fall and
- 35:48Speaker 1: winter every single week of your life. So I'm just
- 35:54Speaker 1: gonna blank canvass it for you to get it started,
- 35:57Speaker 1: and then I'll ask some particulars. So what stood out
- 36:00Speaker 1: most to you about yesterday Seahawks schedule release.
- 36:05Speaker 4: Well, they have swaths of home games that I don't
- 36:09Speaker 4: remember them having much. They've got two different instances back
- 36:13Speaker 4: to back home games, once early in the season and
- 36:17Speaker 4: one then I think it's November, and then they have
- 36:19Speaker 4: three home games in a row. Yeah, near the by.
- 36:23Speaker 1: You can get a project done at home if you're
- 36:25Speaker 1: going to be home three straight week, start building that.
- 36:30Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, everything I'm supposed to do in May
- 36:33Speaker 4: and June, my boys could make me do in November. Yeah,
- 36:35Speaker 4: they rarely. I can't remember three straight home games now.
- 36:39Speaker 4: Of course, the flip side of that is they're starting
- 36:41Speaker 4: the season with two of three on their two in
- 36:43Speaker 4: a row after the opener against New England home, then
- 36:46Speaker 4: they go down the road twice and then the end
- 36:48Speaker 4: of season of courses, that's the test. They've got three
- 36:52Speaker 4: of their last four on the road. They played at
- 36:54Speaker 4: Rams twice, Rams being on Christmas Day being that only
- 36:58Speaker 4: home game in that span, and then three road games.
- 37:02Speaker 4: They play at Carolina again Week seventeen for the second
- 37:05Speaker 4: consecutive season, and then end with a division game the
- 37:09Speaker 4: following weekend, a Week eighteen again, and everyone jumps all
- 37:14Speaker 4: over the primetime game six of them. They should have six,
- 37:17Speaker 4: they should have the max scheduled primetime games because they're
- 37:20Speaker 4: the super Bowl champions, and they got a schedule that
- 37:24Speaker 4: fits a super Bowl champion. There's a chance they're gonna
- 37:27Speaker 4: end up with seven primetime games because if the networks
- 37:32Speaker 4: are viewing the Rams, Seahawks and Covet as coveted as
- 37:35Speaker 4: that matchup was is for this schedule, there's a chance
- 37:38Speaker 4: that Week eighteen game will get flexed the Sunday night
- 37:40Speaker 4: if it's for the NFC West title, like the networks
- 37:43Speaker 4: think it will be right, and then you'd have a
- 37:45Speaker 4: seventh primetime game. So yeah, the high profile fits. But
- 37:49Speaker 4: and then the other thing is the bye. I tell
- 37:52Speaker 4: you that that's what coaches and players, Okay, win's our bye.
- 37:56Speaker 4: Week eleven is pretty good.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.
- 37:58Speaker 4: It's it is. They can't argue with that.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's about ideal as far as I'm concerned,
- 38:07Speaker 1: and I figured coach McDonald would feel that way too.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Let's talk about the rough stretch maybe in the schedule,
- 38:15Speaker 1: and that would be home against the Chargers, home against
- 38:18Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, short rest, then at Denver on
- 38:21Speaker 1: a Thursday, and then home against the Chiefs and Bears.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Would you count that as a tough their stretch than
- 38:29Speaker 1: the end of the season where you're going Eagles Rams,
- 38:32Speaker 1: Panthers Rams, or do you go into the year being
- 38:36Speaker 1: the tougher stretch.
- 38:38Speaker 4: Any you're being tougher because it'll probably be more impactful
- 38:41Speaker 4: because of those two Rams games that we all think
- 38:44Speaker 4: will decide the NFC West. But not only the Chargers,
- 38:48Speaker 4: forty nine Ers, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago in a row.
- 38:51Speaker 4: Right before that stretch begins, they're at Arizona and at Washington.
- 38:56Speaker 4: I know Arizona's down and there's a lot of things
- 38:59Speaker 4: wrong in Arizona right now. Back to back home road games,
- 39:02Speaker 4: including one on the East Coast. When of those ten
- 39:04Speaker 4: am starts before that whole stretch begins. So yeah, that's challenging,
- 39:11Speaker 4: but three of them are home. Four if you count
- 39:14Speaker 4: four of those there's one, two or four of those
- 39:17Speaker 4: five you mentioned in the stretch of Chargers Niners, Broncos, Chiefs, Bears.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Four of those five are at home. So again the Seahawks,
- 39:27Speaker 4: they usually are one home went away, one home went away.
- 39:30Speaker 4: Last year's schedule was almost entirely that with a couple
- 39:34Speaker 4: only one or two two in a rows. This one,
- 39:37Speaker 4: with the pack the home games to get packed together,
- 39:40Speaker 4: is really unusual. It seems to me. I just judged
- 39:45Speaker 4: by how many airports, how often I go to airports,
- 39:47Speaker 4: so I judge schedule, and this one is different in
- 39:50Speaker 4: that regard. They could make some hay. Now they fixed
- 39:54Speaker 4: last year their home schedule problem, and they were losing
- 39:57Speaker 4: so many home games before that. Even though those are
- 40:00Speaker 4: our opponents are difficult, four out of five at home,
- 40:03Speaker 4: there's a chance to make some serious Hey, they get
- 40:05Speaker 4: five out of six at home. If you go all
- 40:07Speaker 4: the way to the Arizona game in November Chargers Niners
- 40:11Speaker 4: home at Denver, that Thursday night game you mentioned then
- 40:15Speaker 4: Kansas City, Chicago, Arizona all at home at Las Vegas
- 40:18Speaker 4: and a bye. So you could argue that Arizona at
- 40:22Speaker 4: Las Vegas and a bye. You could argue they have
- 40:24Speaker 4: three by weeks in a row. There in November.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with US our Seahawks insider. You can
- 40:29Speaker 1: follow his coverage at the Seahawks at the Newstribune dot
- 40:32Speaker 1: com and if you want to follow him on x
- 40:34Speaker 1: you can do so at g Bell. Seattle only two
- 40:38Speaker 1: ten am games, which a few people were making a
- 40:41Speaker 1: big deal out of. I know we do. We always
- 40:45Speaker 1: do during game week when there's a preparation for a
- 40:48Speaker 1: ten am start. Is that an unusually low number? Is
- 40:51Speaker 1: that unusually light?
- 40:53Speaker 4: It is? They have had years where they've gone back
- 40:57Speaker 4: to the East Coast five times in three or four
- 41:00Speaker 4: have been ten ams. They really have licked this ten
- 41:03Speaker 4: am thing. Pet Carroll did it, and then Mike McDonald
- 41:07Speaker 4: has tweaked some of how they travel and times and
- 41:10Speaker 4: sleep times to further refine what they they spend. I
- 41:14Speaker 4: will say that they spend a lot of time on
- 41:18Speaker 4: how to travel from Seattle to ten am East Coast games,
- 41:21Speaker 4: a lot of science behind it, on when they sleep,
- 41:26Speaker 4: how they eat. There's a lot that goes into those
- 41:29Speaker 4: ten am Sunday games. And now they only have two
- 41:32Speaker 4: of them because their third trip to the East is
- 41:35Speaker 4: at Philadelphia and that's a two pm local time start
- 41:38Speaker 4: because it's the evening doubleheader that night on Saturday, December
- 41:42Speaker 4: the nineteenth, the league did the Seahawks have solid there?
- 41:46Speaker 4: The Seahawks Rams Christmas Day game gets all the attention.
- 41:49Speaker 4: That's a Friday, and there was a specter of them
- 41:52Speaker 4: having only four days off between a normal Sunday game
- 41:55Speaker 4: and that's Friday game. So the league pushed back the
- 41:59Speaker 4: Seahawks one day, give them an extra day ar rest,
- 42:01Speaker 4: so there'll be five days between the Saturday game and
- 42:04Speaker 4: the Christmas Day game. They didn't do that with the Rams.
- 42:06Speaker 4: The second game that Saturday, December nineteenth is Chicago at Buffalo,
- 42:12Speaker 4: so the Rams are going to be coming off less rest. Then.
- 42:16Speaker 4: I can't remember even I haven't seen what the Rams
- 42:19Speaker 4: are doing that weekend, but that's hot. There's the league
- 42:23Speaker 4: slid to Seahawks an extra day. There by schedule Infra
- 42:26Speaker 4: at Philadelphia and then also at the two o'clock Pacific game,
- 42:30Speaker 4: the team can get back that evening. I know it'll
- 42:33Speaker 4: end at eight o'clock in Philadelphia, but with the time change,
- 42:36Speaker 4: they won't to the Seahawks. Will we get in at
- 42:38Speaker 4: five or six am? Like they normally do for an
- 42:40Speaker 4: East Coast game.
- 42:41Speaker 1: There's a Wednesday game. This year, there's a Fridays. Now,
- 42:44Speaker 1: there's a couple Wednesday games. Now we have Thanksgiving Eve,
- 42:47Speaker 1: we have Christmas Day. I mean, is what do you
- 42:52Speaker 1: hear or what is your gut? Where does this end
- 42:55Speaker 1: in terms of the saturation of this product during the
- 43:00Speaker 1: how they're going to scatter it out over the course
- 43:03Speaker 1: of future years.
- 43:05Speaker 4: Oh, it's not going to add when they add an
- 43:07Speaker 4: eighteenth game, which is inevitable. There's gonna be Tuesday night football.
- 43:11Speaker 4: There's gonna be Wednesday night football. There's gonna be a
- 43:14Speaker 4: day they haven't even invented yet football. They are going
- 43:17Speaker 4: to maximize and just blot out the calendar with football
- 43:21Speaker 4: from September to January. It's just more and more and more.
- 43:26Speaker 4: The appetite, the inventory, the number of suitors, the streaming
- 43:31Speaker 4: services YouTube and Netflix fighting over games, and Amazon Prime
- 43:36Speaker 4: throw in Cassida. I mean, it's just it's it really
- 43:40Speaker 4: is almost obscene, just how much excess and gluttony there
- 43:45Speaker 4: is an NFL football. Just keep throwing them at the masses,
- 43:48Speaker 4: and the masses will keep ingesting it. So the players
- 43:52Speaker 4: are the ones who ultimately suffer and all this with
- 43:54Speaker 4: the scheduling. I know they get paid really well, and
- 43:56Speaker 4: people Joe Cabby driving around Seattle right now doesn't want
- 43:59Speaker 4: to hear about a millionaire football guy getting inconvenienced. But
- 44:04Speaker 4: there will be a time, and I don't know if
- 44:06Speaker 4: it's twenty thirty CBA negotiations, but there's gonna be a
- 44:08Speaker 4: time that the union says enough we want If you
- 44:12Speaker 4: want us to do all these gymnastics and changes and
- 44:14Speaker 4: plan on Tuesday, Wednesday, Christmas night, Thanksgiving Eve, Black Friday,
- 44:20Speaker 4: Pink Saturday, then you're going to have to give up
- 44:23Speaker 4: some of your league revenue. I've long said the NFL
- 44:27Speaker 4: arrangement of billionaires keeping fifty two percent of the league
- 44:31Speaker 4: revenue is one of the worst deals in sports. It's
- 44:34Speaker 4: the most car crash, quality of life altering sport for
- 44:38Speaker 4: the participants, and the participants only get less than half
- 44:41Speaker 4: the revenue forty eight percent. That needs to change. If
- 44:45Speaker 4: the players don't want some of these things, like an
- 44:47Speaker 4: eighteen game season in these crazy days they play on
- 44:51Speaker 4: and grass fields, they need to step up. The veterans
- 44:56Speaker 4: need to have sway over the rank and file that
- 44:59Speaker 4: make up the majority of the union say we're holding
- 45:01Speaker 4: out for this stuff. We're not going to sign a
- 45:03Speaker 4: new CBA if we don't start getting these things that
- 45:06Speaker 4: we complain we don't get from the owners. And league
- 45:08Speaker 4: revenue at forty eight percent is the one carrot I
- 45:11Speaker 4: think I would keep out from the owners and say
- 45:14Speaker 4: we're not doing this stuff unless you give us fifty
- 45:17Speaker 4: percent of the league revenue.
- 45:18Speaker 1: I think it's my flat ass is what's going to
- 45:21Speaker 1: suffer the most from sitting around watching so much football.
- 45:24Speaker 1: That's what's going to suffer the most with all of this. Yeah,
- 45:27Speaker 1: and I love the idea that Greg put out there
- 45:29Speaker 1: that the NFL is so powerful it will just invent
- 45:33Speaker 1: an eighth day in the week that everybody else must
- 45:38Speaker 1: you know, acknowledge fright night fright ter day night football, Yes,
- 45:42Speaker 1: coming your way.
- 45:44Speaker 4: What's going to stop them? It sounds, what's going to
- 45:49Speaker 4: stop them? And it will all go Okay, new day,
- 45:51Speaker 4: new football, Great, get more football to.
- 45:54Speaker 1: One all right, So next on the calendar, now that
- 45:58Speaker 1: we have the schedule, and now that's everybody's put wins
- 46:01Speaker 1: and losses by all the games, and we don't even
- 46:03Speaker 1: have to worry about the record for this upcoming year.
- 46:07Speaker 1: You've got OTA's coming up, and then a break. Is
- 46:09Speaker 1: that what our schedule looks like?
- 46:11Speaker 8: Here?
- 46:12Speaker 4: A couple of weeks of three day packs of OTA's
- 46:14Speaker 4: beginning the last week of May, not next week, but
- 46:18Speaker 4: the following week, and then the only mandatory of the
- 46:22Speaker 4: off season a mini camp June eight nine and ten
- 46:26Speaker 4: or seventy eight nine, I think it is. Three is
- 46:28Speaker 4: in a room and that's it. They have one fewer
- 46:31Speaker 4: OTA block than normal, and they're from January. They're excuse me,
- 46:37Speaker 4: June tenth till the last week of July or so.
- 46:40Speaker 4: They'll be done. They'll be gone fishing. I mean, everyone's
- 46:43Speaker 4: gone from the facility. It's the one long block of
- 46:46Speaker 4: time in the offseason that everybody in the NF goes anywhere.
- 46:49Speaker 4: So I didn't actually do the map, but fifteen days
- 46:53Speaker 4: from the first preseason game. The first preseason game is
- 46:55Speaker 4: August fifteenth against Dallas at home day before it is
- 47:01Speaker 4: by the CBA when you can't start a training camp
- 47:04Speaker 4: any earlier than that. So that looks like what July
- 47:07Speaker 4: thirty first or so for a training camp start, so
- 47:10Speaker 4: a little bit later than last week, about a week later.
- 47:12Speaker 4: So but yeah, this has been a relatively short off season,
- 47:18Speaker 4: and after you win a Super Bowl and you have
- 47:20Speaker 4: a draft and then boom boom, here we go a
- 47:22Speaker 4: couple of weeks, eight weeks in a mini camp and
- 47:24Speaker 4: they're done, and then they're into training camp.
- 47:27Speaker 1: What'd you think of the perfume? Mad It was?
- 47:32Speaker 4: It was clever. I mean, yeah, it was. It was
- 47:36Speaker 4: I particular like nostalgia in nineteen ninety six.
- 47:38Speaker 1: But what was that guy? Because he was great? I
- 47:41Speaker 1: mean I recognized everybody else by that that guy. Should
- 47:45Speaker 1: I know that.
- 47:47Speaker 4: I didn't know too many of the people. Yeah, yeah,
- 47:51Speaker 4: I thought that was of course the substation thing for
- 47:54Speaker 4: the forty nine ers everybody. Yeah, the Chargers as well,
- 47:58Speaker 4: making fun of that. Yeah, it is funny to see
- 48:03Speaker 4: how the league has evolved and now the social media
- 48:06Speaker 4: teams that this is their Christmas to do this. And
- 48:09Speaker 4: it used to be just put out on a card.
- 48:12Speaker 4: There wasn't even the Internet or the emails to release schedules,
- 48:18Speaker 4: but they just went to the ap wire back in
- 48:20Speaker 4: the day. That's how everyone got it. And now it's
- 48:24Speaker 4: like this. But yeah, I thought that was creative. It
- 48:28Speaker 4: is the fun I mean I get it. It's contrived.
- 48:30Speaker 4: And the NFL is trying to keep themselves in the news,
- 48:32Speaker 4: but it is. It's fun for May. And yeah, all
- 48:36Speaker 4: the scheduled weeks and by the way, the schedule leaks.
- 48:39Speaker 4: It used to be you ignored most of those because
- 48:41Speaker 4: they were wrong. They're mostly right now and they I
- 48:47Speaker 4: don't know if I think. My guess is because the
- 48:50Speaker 4: proliferation of so many other streaming partners, television partners, there's
- 48:55Speaker 4: so many cooks in the kitchen now that it's easy
- 48:57Speaker 4: to get the leaks, and they're right more than that.
- 49:00Speaker 1: All right, what do you got planned for today?
- 49:03Speaker 4: We're gonna talk at eleven with our friend Gary Hill,
- 49:07Speaker 4: junior Mariners broadcaster, about the Mariners coming home after the
- 49:11Speaker 4: long roach about the cow Rawley situation, and did the
- 49:14Speaker 4: Mariners say He's not going todmit that as a Mariner's employee,
- 49:16Speaker 4: but did they kind of mismanage that and maybe he
- 49:20Speaker 4: played a week and a half longer than he should have.
- 49:22Speaker 4: We'll go into the details of the scheduling again, and
- 49:25Speaker 4: then it's my last show before I get on a
- 49:27Speaker 4: plane tomorrow morning and see our daughter graduating. All right,
- 49:30Speaker 4: Coast Guard.
- 49:31Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, have a great time with that
- 49:33Speaker 1: I cannot believe. I mean, it's not like I know her,
- 49:36Speaker 1: but it just feels like it was yesterday you told
- 49:39Speaker 1: us she was heading off to school.
- 49:42Speaker 4: I know now she's going to be an ensign in
- 49:44Speaker 4: the Coast Guard, responsible for people and their lives. And
- 49:48Speaker 4: it blows our mind, it really does. It makes me
- 49:51Speaker 4: feel pretty old, but proud too, Yeah.
- 49:53Speaker 1: No doubt. Well, enjoy, enjoy the proud moment, the proud week.
- 49:57Speaker 1: All right, you well, thank you very much. We appreciate it,
- 50:00Speaker 1: and we will talk to you soon.
- 50:02Speaker 4: All right, all right, see a couple of hours.
- 50:04Speaker 1: Right, Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider, and yes, he'll be
- 50:06Speaker 1: on the air at ten o'clock here this morning after
- 50:09Speaker 1: our show is done. If you want to follow Greg,
- 50:11Speaker 1: do so at g Bell Seattle on X and of course,
- 50:14Speaker 1: complete coverage of the Seahawks twenty four to seven, twelve
- 50:17Speaker 1: months out of the year at Thenewstribune dot com. And
- 50:21Speaker 1: if you don't know what we're talking about, the perfume ad,
- 50:23Speaker 1: there was a everybody does now a schedule release video.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Every PR team within the organization does one, and so
- 50:33Speaker 1: they're getting more creative and more outlandish every year. And
- 50:36Speaker 1: the Seahawks basically made a fake perfume ad to promote
- 50:40Speaker 1: the schedule. It's got Joel McHale in it and Josh Lucas.
- 50:44Speaker 7: I really like the Push Push perfume. Two separate bottles
- 50:46Speaker 7: and you'll be surprised which one smells worse.
- 50:48Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch makes an appearance. But you got to stay
- 50:51Speaker 1: to the end, Yes you do. It's very well done,
- 50:54Speaker 1: very funny. I don't know who the young handsome man.
- 50:56Speaker 7: I don't know who that was either. When you ask Greg,
- 50:58Speaker 7: I was like, I was wondering the same thing when
- 50:59Speaker 7: I saw it.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had maybe the best lines in the
- 51:03Speaker 1: entire thing. So anyway, if you want to check that out,
- 51:06Speaker 1: feel free to do so. It's worth two three minutes
- 51:08Speaker 1: of your time if you're a Seahawk fan. All right,
- 51:10Speaker 1: coming up next to ABC's of the M Sports Radio
- 51:13Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM, the Mariners. We don't know
- 51:16Speaker 1: what we're going to discuss. The alphabet determines that that's right.
- 51:19Speaker 1: We use it as our guide. Yes, the Mariners did
- 51:22Speaker 1: win yesterday afternoon, eight to three over the Houston Astros.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Luke Raley had a three run homer Mitch Garver, homerd
- 51:29Speaker 1: and Luis Castillo's best outing since his first outing of
- 51:33Speaker 1: the year, and that was much needed. His first win
- 51:36Speaker 1: of the entire year for Luis Castillo, eight to three
- 51:40Speaker 1: the final score, take three out of four from the Astros,
- 51:42Speaker 1: move within a game of five hundred. Return home tonight
- 51:45Speaker 1: to take on the San Diego Padres. So a chance
- 51:48Speaker 1: on Monday morning. We could be talking about a team
- 51:51Speaker 1: finally over five hundred, but that would require a sweep.
- 51:54Speaker 1: I'll take five hundred. I'll take five hundred on month.
- 51:57Speaker 6: Good with that, Yeah, no complaints from me.
- 52:00Speaker 1: I'll take two out of three for five hundred, please, Jack.
- 52:03Speaker 6: Sounds like a great choice, Chuck.
- 52:04Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the ABC said the MS.
- 52:07Speaker 1: They're brought to you by the Sunset Auto Family in
- 52:10Speaker 1: Sumner and in Auburn. You just get more at Sunset
- 52:14Speaker 1: and people do like that.
- 52:16Speaker 6: I sure would.
- 52:18Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I should be here, spokes the only one.
- 52:23Speaker 1: All right, we are at the end of the alphabet,
- 52:24Speaker 1: so we're going to finish it today. That means we've
- 52:26Speaker 1: got to go through four letters, and we'll start with
- 52:28Speaker 1: the letter W and that is for wow, oh like wow.
- 52:34Speaker 1: We're taking on the San Diego Padres, and the Padres
- 52:37Speaker 1: are twenty five and eighteen this year. That's a good record.
- 52:40Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're I think they're even with
- 52:43Speaker 1: the Dodgers right now. Probably should have looked that up
- 52:45Speaker 1: at the top of the National League West, at least
- 52:48Speaker 1: they were. I think they are tied with the Dodgers
- 52:51Speaker 1: for first place in the National League West. So off
- 52:53Speaker 1: to a very good record, right, that's a good record.
- 52:55Speaker 1: That's an India's record.
- 52:56Speaker 6: Yes, that is.
- 52:57Speaker 1: We would like to have a twenty five and eighteen record.
- 52:59Speaker 7: And I will say the Dodgers are a twenty six wins,
- 53:01Speaker 7: but yes, you would like to have a twenty five
- 53:03Speaker 7: and eighteen record.
- 53:04Speaker 1: Okay, so they they're a half game up because they
- 53:06Speaker 1: played last night and once. All right, so twenty five
- 53:09Speaker 1: and eighteen is a good record. But the Padres are
- 53:13Speaker 1: not playing well. That's a misleading record. They are twenty
- 53:18Speaker 1: eight this year. In ops twenty eight, there are only
- 53:22Speaker 1: two teams that are created that are generating less offensive
- 53:27Speaker 1: production at the plate than the San Diego Padres. They're
- 53:31Speaker 1: twenty fifth and run scored, and I guess that's true
- 53:35Speaker 1: offensive production is run scored, but it's still not good,
- 53:38Speaker 1: and their thirtieth in batting average there are thirty teams
- 53:41Speaker 1: in baseball. That means they are last at two twenty two.
- 53:46Speaker 1: They have an OPS as a team that is at
- 53:51Speaker 1: six oh seven. They have only one guy on their
- 53:57Speaker 1: entire roster with an OPS over seven hundred. Now eight
- 54:00Speaker 1: hundred is good, seven hundred is pretty much average, and
- 54:05Speaker 1: they only have one guy over seven hundred, and that's
- 54:08Speaker 1: Xander Bogarts, who a lot of people thought was washed up.
- 54:11Speaker 1: And then Fernando Tatis is the real standout here in
- 54:15Speaker 1: the wow department. He has not hit a home run
- 54:19Speaker 1: so far this year. The team has a better it's
- 54:23Speaker 1: Tatiste that has a six h seven OPS. That's terrible, okay,
- 54:27Speaker 1: and we know that because we're experiencing it with our
- 54:29Speaker 1: own superstar cal Raley, who's not even over six hundred.
- 54:32Speaker 1: But Fernando Tatis is down around the cal Raley kind
- 54:36Speaker 1: of start for a superstar player. Machado's having an off year,
- 54:40Speaker 1: Jackson Merrill's having an off year. The Padres just aren't
- 54:43Speaker 1: playing good baseball, and yet they're playing winning baseball because
- 54:47Speaker 1: of their bullpen. They have an outstanding bullpen. So if
- 54:50Speaker 1: you give the Padres the lead or if it's close,
- 54:54Speaker 1: then their bullpen can kind of take over when they
- 54:56Speaker 1: put their best guys on the job, because their starters
- 55:00Speaker 1: aren't exactly lighting the world on fire either. Overall, the
- 55:03Speaker 1: Padres are sixteenth in ERA this year. They're thirteenth in
- 55:06Speaker 1: opponent's batting average. That's middle of the pack statistics for
- 55:09Speaker 1: their pitching, so bad offensive statistics, middle of the pack
- 55:13Speaker 1: pitching statistics, and yet there's seven games over five hundred.
- 55:17Speaker 1: Baseball can be really weird.
- 55:19Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say that is just weird because
- 55:22Speaker 7: hearing I thought we were gonna say when you were
- 55:24Speaker 7: gonna say, oh, they've won twenty five games, they're playing
- 55:26Speaker 7: really well, because that would make sense.
- 55:28Speaker 1: They're not.
- 55:28Speaker 6: Yeah, that makes no sense.
- 55:30Speaker 1: And Fernando Tatists does not have a home run. It's
- 55:33Speaker 1: May fifteenth, and they're an awful lot of former baseball
- 55:37Speaker 1: players who have podcasts are talking about the not being
- 55:41Speaker 1: on peds is catching up to Fernando Tatis Junior. So
- 55:47Speaker 1: I don't think it's that. I don't think he was
- 55:49Speaker 1: on them last year and he had a fine season,
- 55:52Speaker 1: or at least he shouldn't have been on he's really
- 55:53Speaker 1: playing Russian roulette. If he was on him again last.
- 55:55Speaker 6: Year, that would be stupid.
- 55:57Speaker 1: Yeah, but this year he cannot find his power. You
- 56:00Speaker 1: want to knock on your head or something, you can
- 56:02Speaker 1: do that.
- 56:02Speaker 6: Yeah, because people seem to find it when they play us.
- 56:05Speaker 1: But the Padres are just not statistically playing well, and
- 56:09Speaker 1: yet they're figuring out ways to win. To be a
- 56:11Speaker 1: twenty five and eighteen ex is for expedite. Matt Brash
- 56:15Speaker 1: pitched last night in Tacoma and dominated struck out the
- 56:19Speaker 1: side three guys face, struck them all out and looked,
- 56:23Speaker 1: and the looks on the faces of the Sugarland players
- 56:27Speaker 1: were like, I didn't stand a chance. So I think
- 56:31Speaker 1: we could possibly expedite this whole Matt Brash situation. I
- 56:36Speaker 1: wouldn't be I mean, they probably won't activate him tonight
- 56:39Speaker 1: because since he just pitched last night, they don't like
- 56:42Speaker 1: to pitch him back to back nights to begin with,
- 56:44Speaker 1: much less coming off an injury. But I would imagine
- 56:48Speaker 1: he doesn't need another outing. He wasn't gone for that long,
- 56:51Speaker 1: and he even said he didn't even need to be
- 56:53Speaker 1: put on the injury list when they put him on
- 56:55Speaker 1: the injury list, so to look that dominant in his
- 56:58Speaker 1: first performance and can considering we could use a healthy
- 57:02Speaker 1: arm or two, yes please, and the bullpen. I think
- 57:04Speaker 1: maybe we'll see Matt before the weekend is over with,
- 57:08Speaker 1: and that'd be great because he was phenomenal uh to
- 57:11Speaker 1: this point and the season before that injury.
- 57:13Speaker 6: Sign me up for that too, Okay.
- 57:15Speaker 1: All right, Ashley. Signing up for a lot of things.
- 57:17Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm volunteering.
- 57:19Speaker 1: I don't want you to over commit. You don't have
- 57:20Speaker 1: a you know, you're a mother, you got a job.
- 57:23Speaker 7: But you know what, so far, I feel confident in
- 57:25Speaker 7: the two things I've signed up for. I can't remember
- 57:27Speaker 7: what the first one was, but I think it involved
- 57:29Speaker 7: winning money.
- 57:30Speaker 1: Uh yeah, winning money.
- 57:31Speaker 7: Money, So I'm good right now. So Matt Brash is
- 57:33Speaker 7: back this weekend and winning the thousand dollars.
- 57:35Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, signed up for that.
- 57:37Speaker 6: I'll do that.
- 57:38Speaker 1: Okay. Be careful though, just don't sign anything that's put
- 57:41Speaker 1: in front of you. No. I appreciate you saying you
- 57:43Speaker 1: know you're going to have a time share man, and
- 57:46Speaker 1: you're going to need that attorney guy, do you.
- 57:47Speaker 7: Yeah, he's not an attorney. I don't know if you
- 57:50Speaker 7: know that about Chuck McDowell.
- 57:52Speaker 1: Why is for youngins. I'm gonna go check out the
- 57:55Speaker 1: young'ins tonight down in Tacoma. There's some olden's on the
- 57:58Speaker 1: team too, but there's some young'in's down there in Tacoma.
- 58:02Speaker 1: I'd like to put my eyeballs on again. So we're
- 58:04Speaker 1: doing our rainiers tonight. Tonight you've got Nick Fane and
- 58:08Speaker 1: Jackson Feltz I believe are doing the radio show at
- 58:10Speaker 1: three o'clock. I'm gonna join him. It sounds like at
- 58:13Speaker 1: four pretty early, boys, pretty early for me to join
- 58:16Speaker 1: you for a seven o'clock start, But game time seven o'clock.
- 58:19Speaker 1: I'll be on the call with Riley pay. I get
- 58:22Speaker 1: to watch Cold Emerson play again tonight. He's been making
- 58:26Speaker 1: phenomenal defensive plays. He is on a defensive eyghlight play.
- 58:30Speaker 1: He has a defensive eyelight player. It feels like every
- 58:33Speaker 1: night down there in Tacoma. But there was a new list. Man,
- 58:37Speaker 1: these guys pump out list. You should be. They had
- 58:39Speaker 1: to wait like February for a new Top one hundred
- 58:42Speaker 1: prospects rankings list, and now they update them every other week.
- 58:47Speaker 1: But once a guy like graduates from the list, because
- 58:50Speaker 1: he's got too much major league experience. They take them
- 58:53Speaker 1: off the list and come out with a new list. Okay,
- 58:54Speaker 1: so they have a new list. MLB Pipeline Baseball America
- 58:57Speaker 1: had a new list this week as well. But the
- 59:00Speaker 1: number six and seven prospects in baseball Colt Emerson and
- 59:06Speaker 1: Cad Anderson, those are your now. Caid's not in Tacoma
- 59:09Speaker 1: right now, but Colt is. But nonetheless, that's how fast
- 59:14Speaker 1: up the rankings. Kate Anderson's been flying here as of late.
- 59:17Speaker 1: They're six and seven. Ryan Sloan's kind of holding steady
- 59:20Speaker 1: around twenty two on their list, but another big leap
- 59:23Speaker 1: from Lazaro Montes. He's now up into the top thirty
- 59:27Speaker 1: on their list. So Mariner's good young nucleus right now,
- 59:34Speaker 1: but there's more help on the way. It's very exciting.
- 59:36Speaker 7: Yeah, four in the top thirty. Okay, Yeah, sign me
- 59:38Speaker 7: up for that too.
- 59:39Speaker 1: Finally, c is for Zeus. Maybe cal Rally's not Zeus,
- 59:45Speaker 1: but our superstar is going to be missing from the lineup.
- 59:48Speaker 1: I think in the last couple of years, if you'd
- 59:51Speaker 1: have lost cal Raley from the lineup, man that might
- 59:55Speaker 1: have spelled doom. I think that this roster is complete
- 59:59Speaker 1: enough right now. I mean, here you are hovering around
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: five hundred without Kyle Rowley performing even average. He's not
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: even been a good player, certainly at the plate so
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: far this season. But I would point out somebody that
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: you might consider more like a Zeus of baseball, Ken
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: Griffy Junior, because if you remember, back in nineteen ninety five,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: arguably the best year or most famous.
- 1:00:28Speaker 6: Yea, most talked about.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Yeah, probably certainly in the top five best seasons Mariner's history,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: most memorable seasons in Mariner's history, the most important season
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: in Mariner's history. If you remember the Mariners, Ken Grivey
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: Junior was out for a huge chunk of that year
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: and they still managed to hang in there without him,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: and then when they got back, they took off. You know,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: I've heard Greg talk about this this week. We you know,
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: we obviously didn't want to think. We wanted Col's side
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: to be fine and no reason to put him on
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: an injury list. The side's going to be fine. But
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: now that it is, now that it's acted up again,
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: I agree, like, let's make sure he's one hundred percent healthy.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: There's a lot of the season remaining and I think
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: you have a good enough roster even without cal Raley
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: to win the American League West because it's down this year.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: So I think we can win the division without cal
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: Raley playing for a while. Hopefully it's just ten days,
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: but I know we win the division with a healthy
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: cal Raley getting back on track. So let's just get
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: him back on track. Let's let him take all the
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: time that he needs to get healthy. It's it's why
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: you've not heard any panic from me the last couple
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: of days about Cayle Rawley's side acting up again.
- 1:01:47Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's the one thing that I've been concerned
- 1:01:49Speaker 7: about is don't rush him back, because the last thing
- 1:01:51Speaker 7: you want to do is deal with this all year
- 1:01:53Speaker 7: where he's not one hundred percent and it's going back
- 1:01:56Speaker 7: and forth. So I would say not even to let
- 1:01:59Speaker 7: him take all the time he needs, because I think
- 1:02:01Speaker 7: he would think he needs less time. I would say
- 1:02:05Speaker 7: let him have him, force him to take maybe more
- 1:02:08Speaker 7: time than he needs so we know he's one hundred
- 1:02:10Speaker 7: percent when he gets back.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: Don't rush cal We've made this mistake before as well,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: waiting for don't rush dump. Yeah. I think that's the
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: message here today all right, dump, we've got OCHO coming
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: up at eight o'clock. Coming up next though on the
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: radio program, we've got Paul results from yesterday sports Radio.
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: And by the way, if they would have gone the
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: other way, I would have never brought this up because
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: I vowed to Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: It's time for the OCHO Best twelve minutes of eight
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: minutes of radio, brought to you by the rich, complex

- 1:03:21Speaker 1: don't know why. I just pulled my sleeves down just
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: to push them right back up. I don't know why
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: I did it. I don't know.
- 1:03:27Speaker 6: Sometimes why do we do things?
- 1:03:29Speaker 7: Sometimes if they're up but they're twisted, you got to
- 1:03:32Speaker 7: make sure you pull it all the way down, shake
- 1:03:35Speaker 7: it out, and then pull it back up.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Pretty much it's a power move pretty much, just took
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: it down and then put it right back into the
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: clunky situation it was credit. Yeah, I know, there's really
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: no explanation.
- 1:03:47Speaker 6: I'm done with that.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, don't try to defend me out. There's really
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: it'll just get you.
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: In trouble, and I don't want that anymore. I'm already
- 1:03:54Speaker 6: in enough trouble.

- 1:04:09Speaker 1: I will just let you know that, just give you
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: an amateurish hack kind of update. Alex Smalley, al Poltergeist,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Steven Jaeger, Min Wu Lee and Ryu hits a Stooney,
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: hits a Sunny.
- 1:04:26Speaker 6: I think it's HiT's a tuney something.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: They are your leaders right now at three under. Hedeki
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: Matsuyama is at two under. He's having a pretty good day.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler started the day three under tied with a lad.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: He is three over today and now even so, we'll
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: get an official update for you coming up here at
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: eight twenty this morning. But let's get to the O
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: show your eight top stories of the day here on
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: this Friday, and we will begin with the NFL schedule release.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: We now know all of the Seahawks opponents and when
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: and where they will play them for the upcoming twenty
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: twenty six season defense of a Super Bowl championship. And
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: we know because we could smell it.
- 1:05:11Speaker 9: There are many smells in the NFL to choose from,
- 1:05:16Speaker 9: but when I want to smell like a champion, eye
- 1:05:19Speaker 9: reach with our full the sea Hawks.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Josh Lucas and many other celebs, including Joel McHale put
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: together the Seahawks PR team's schedule release video, which they
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: all now do and they're now competing with one another
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: for the most clever and most creative. It wasn't taking
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: you through game by game the schedule. They pretty much
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: just put it at the very end. But it was
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: very entertaining and it was talking a lot of trash,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. So if you haven't seen it,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: it's fun. It's funny, and they got a lot of
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: celebrities to Seahawks fans to participate in it.
- 1:05:57Speaker 6: Yes, I do love when they all do this.
- 1:06:00Speaker 7: We got a suggestion, Hey, what if you guys went
- 1:06:02Speaker 7: and grabbed all of the audio from all of the
- 1:06:04Speaker 7: other team's release videos for when they play the Seahawks.
- 1:06:08Speaker 6: And I thought, yeah, but that's a lot of work.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: That is a lot. We'll let Jackson do that.
- 1:06:12Speaker 6: Yeah, Jackson will be great at it.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Jackson loves his montages.
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: Loves a montage. He needs a montage montage.
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: There.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: We're more of a singing makeup songs on the fly people.
- 1:06:24Speaker 6: Yeah, Jackson doesn't do that.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: No, he's terrible at it. We all got to know
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: our strengths and our weaknesses.
- 1:06:29Speaker 6: Hetage.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: He's a montage guy, if ever there was one.
- 1:06:32Speaker 6: Yes, he is.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: You're our favorite, little montage monkey.
- 1:06:35Speaker 6: You keep it up, montage guy.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: The defending world champions will begin defense of their title
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: against the very team that they defeated in Super Bowl
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: fifty nine. The league not only doesn't mind that Patriots
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: head coach Mike Grable has opened up the playbook on
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: a national reporter, They're apparently embracing the entire thing, Otherwise
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: they wouldn't be showcasing them on the opening night of
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: the season, which is usually a night for football celebration.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: But apparently we're going to have to spend part of
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: our pre funk talking about Mike Rabel and Diana Russini.
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: That's just going to be a part of the pregame conversation.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: Thanks INFL.
- 1:07:15Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's annoying.
- 1:07:16Speaker 7: And I think the NFL, when you were saying earlier,
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: you know, no publicity is bad publicity, I think they
- 1:07:22Speaker 7: really are embracing this. Because there was even a thing
- 1:07:25Speaker 7: on X yesterday that they weren't stopping anyone from mocking
- 1:07:28Speaker 7: Vrabel and Russini in their schedule release videos and they did. Yeah,
- 1:07:34Speaker 7: and people did, and the NFL made a point to say, like, Nope, worse,
- 1:07:37Speaker 7: we're not stopping anyone from doing that.
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: Well, I think they like the public. I think this
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: really is love it. Major corporations like this, and we think,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: oh man, they've been shaken by this story, and they're like,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: we love it. Look at all the attention we're getting.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: This is an amazing scandal is so delicious. I think
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: that's the way they do react to it. And we
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: probably should figure it. Should have figured it out by now.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: I mean, I've been in this industry for thirty six
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: fricking years. You would think I would have figured it
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: out by now that they don't mind it at all,
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: and they're going to promote it on opening night. Clearly,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: of course, we already knew the opening opponent at this
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: time yesterday morning. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that all
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: eighteen weeks of prime cut carefully age Seahawks schedule were revealed.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: And there's all sorts of juicy nuggets, different ways to
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: look at this thing. But we turned to our insider
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: this morning, Greg Bell from the Tacoma News Tribune, and
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: I asked him, what's the most interesting part of the
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Seahawks twenty twenty six calendar to you.
- 1:08:39Speaker 4: They've got three of the last four on the road.
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: They played at Rams twice, Rams being on Christmas Day
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: being that only home game in that span, and then
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: three road games. They play at Carolina again Week seventeen
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: for the second consecutive season, and then end with a
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: division game the following weekend a week eighteen again, and
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: everyone jumps all over the primetime games, six of them.
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: They should have six. They should have the max scheduled
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: primetime games because they're the Super Bowl champions. There's a
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: chance that week eighteen game will get flexed the Sunday
- 1:09:12Speaker 4: night if it's for the NFC West title like the
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: networks think it will be right, and then you'd have
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: a seventh primetime game. So and then the other thing
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: is the bye week eleven is pretty good.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. If you want to hear Greg's entire
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: conversation with us, you can do so at ninety three
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: three KJR dot com. You also pointed out the block
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: of three consecutive home games at one point during the season,
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: and you rarely see that, but yeah, six primetime games
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: was a highlight. Five of the six are at home,
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: and then the potential do add a seventh later in
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: the year. It is official now the Seahawks will be
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: playing on Christmas Day. I know, personally a lot of
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: people don't like that. I personally don't like that. I
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: don't even have my family near me. I'm old enough,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: I'm old enough that I've been move from my family
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: for quite some time, and yet I still don't like
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: having to. I mean, I watch sports all the time.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: Do I have to be sitting down if I go
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: home to see my family, do I have to sit
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: and watch football? So I don't miss a Seahawks game.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: So I don't like it personally, but professionally, she's going
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: to drive a huge audience when the Hawks host the
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: Rams on Christmas Day.
- 1:10:23Speaker 6: It is gonna be huge. And I don't like it
- 1:10:25Speaker 6: personally either.
- 1:10:25Speaker 7: I like to be able to You have the morning,
- 1:10:27Speaker 7: you get your presence, you have brunch, you do all
- 1:10:29Speaker 7: these things.
- 1:10:30Speaker 6: You hang out, then you get to watch a Christmas.
- 1:10:31Speaker 7: Movie or you can have football or basketball whatever on
- 1:10:35Speaker 7: in the background later.
- 1:10:36Speaker 6: But I don't know. I don't like it.
- 1:10:39Speaker 7: And I sent a text to five Iron and his sister,
- 1:10:42Speaker 7: we'll call her four Iron yesterday and I said Seahawks
- 1:10:46Speaker 7: on Christmas Day and she sent the emoji. Oh, and
- 1:10:52Speaker 7: five Iron sent the Merry Christmas question mark and I
- 1:10:56Speaker 7: was like m.
- 1:10:57Speaker 6: And I gave him a thumbs down.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: Aha.
- 1:11:00Speaker 6: So we are in a fight.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: And he just got home.
- 1:11:04Speaker 6: He doesn't even know it yet, poor guy. He doesn't know.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: He's just had the time of his life from now.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: He came home to a fight over Christmas.
- 1:11:11Speaker 6: Already, nice hat and a T shirt and we're fighting.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: They will then play. And when I say they the Seahawks,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: not Ashley and five are the Seahawks will then play
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: two weeks later against the Rams again to close out
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: the regular season. So two games against the Rams in
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: three days and those kind of feel important. Only two
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: ten am kickoffs all season long, which is an unusually
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: light The bye week, as Greg mentioned, comes during week
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: number eleven. I find that to be ideal. It also
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: comes after a weekend in Vegas. Nice.
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: What happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. They'll
- 1:11:49Speaker 7: remember that, Yes.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Exactly like herpies for example. Yeah, yeah, they take it.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: They'll go with you. You are now free to place
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: w's or l's next to each scheduled opponent, so that
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: you know today, on May fifteenth, exactly what the Seahawks
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: record will be this year before the end of today's
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: O show. So yeah, let it rip, Let's go, let
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: it get it done. That's another thing Jackson loves to do,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: not just make montages. He loves knowing what the Seahawks
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: record is on May fifteenth. Loves it.
- 1:12:21Speaker 6: Who doesn't, really? This girl?
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Item number three on your Ohow. The Mariners return home
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: tonight after stomping the Houston Astros Thursday one two hie
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: deep left field.
- 1:12:37Speaker 11: This is at the wall and it just sneaks into
- 1:12:42Speaker 11: the Crawford doses.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: It is gone.
- 1:12:45Speaker 11: It's an opposite field three run.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: Home run from Luke Rayley. In the world of statements,
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: you didn't expect to hear this baseball season. Where would
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: we be without Luke Rayley up a creek. That's Aaron
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: Gold's Smith Mariner's TV on the call of Luke's three
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: run homer in the first inning to set the tone yesterday,
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: they moved him up in the lineup to fifth in
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: the order, and he responded with a three run shot
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: and the Mariners cruise from there, eight to three. The
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: final score Luis Castillo's best outing since his first appearance
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: of the season and his first win of the year.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: I realized that's not a big statistic with a lot
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: of baseball fans today, but it's still is with pitchers,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: and he finally got his first win. Meanwhile, Luke Rayley
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: has five home runs and fourteen RBI this month. Wow,
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: and we're only halfway through the month of May and
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: he's still a platoon player. He gets yanked from every
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: game every time a left hander comes in. Luke Rayley
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: is on fire right now.
- 1:13:47Speaker 7: And you brought up statistics, so I will say, did
- 1:13:49Speaker 7: you hear in the broadcast by the way, that Aaron
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: Goldsmith does not keep track of RBI.
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: As another thing that today's a younger, modern person doesn't
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: think is a big statistic. And by the way, the
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: Jay Buners of the world want to throw him down
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: a flash.
- 1:14:03Speaker 7: Jay and Dave were both like they couldn't believe it
- 1:14:05Speaker 7: because they brought it up.
- 1:14:06Speaker 6: I got brought up with just Dave. Then when Jay
- 1:14:08Speaker 6: joined them, he brought it up again.
- 1:14:10Speaker 7: And that Aaron had asked Cal Rawley, what's the most
- 1:14:13Speaker 7: important statistic that you keep track of? And Cal was
- 1:14:16Speaker 7: like RBI and Aaron was like, I don't even know,
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: because they had started with Luke r Rayley and how
- 1:14:22Speaker 7: many he had.
- 1:14:22Speaker 6: And Aaron didn't know. I was like, I feel like
- 1:14:25Speaker 6: that's a pretty important.
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: Stat It's the saber metric for people that were raised
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: on saber metrics, and they don't believe in clutch hitting,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: and they don't believe in runs batted in, and they
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: don't believe in wins, and they don't believe in team chemistry.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: There are a lot of things that they just don't
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: subscribe to. And Aaron pretty much is that guy he's
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: the poster guy of that new baseball fans thinging and
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: he's great at it, by the way. Oh yeah, I
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: love the layers that he adds to the broadcast. Wonderful
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: on the broadcast in terms of, you know, kind of
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: identifying for people the sabermetric view of the baseball world,
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: which obviously we're now looking at that through a more
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: thorough lens these days. That said, I think obviously he
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: goes way too far, and anybody that's ever played baseball
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: will crack a bat over your face if you don't
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: think RBI are important.
- 1:15:12Speaker 6: Yeah, Jase did not sound thrilled bad.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: Luis Castillo's best outing. As I mentioned, Seattle takes three
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: out of four from once mighty Houston. Here are punks now, people,
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: I suck it. Twenty two and twenty three Mariners return
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: home to face the Padres this weekend, so two out
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: of three, which y'll make that the goal. We're talking
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: about a five hundred team starting our show Monday morning,
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: sweep it, and now we're talking about getting out of
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: that picture come Monday morning tonight. Emerson Hancock gets the start.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: Randy Vazquez will pitch for the Padres if that sounds familiar.
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: It just happened like a week and a half ago.
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: First pitch at six forty and that battle between right handers,
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: and so the Mariners can get back to five hundred.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: We've sung that song for tonight where they win over
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: the Padres. They'll do it though without Cal Rawley, who
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: was put on the injury list yesterday. Here's Dan Wilson
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: topball game last night.
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: You know news this morning, Uh, Cal is going to
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: be an i L with a RIDA League strain. Johnny
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: fred is here and and uh we'll be activated in instead.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: So we get back to Seattle on Cal. But that's
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: that's kind of the news for right now. Yeah, somebody
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: in the background did not like hearing that.
- 1:16:33Speaker 6: No, and I don't blame him, but you know what,
- 1:16:35Speaker 6: Cal needs to rest.
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: And also I don't know if that was in vain,
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: but you did take the Lord's name there.
- 1:16:42Speaker 7: He walked out and thought he saw Jesus.
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: Maybe he does frequent the clubhouse.
- 1:16:48Speaker 8: Yep.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: Mitch Garver's first game is the starting catcher, that's right,
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: the starting catcher while cal Raley's on the I L
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: home run win. Wouldn't that be something if bitch Garb
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: becomes the X factor this season. If he just steps
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: right in there and for the first time in three years,
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: just goes on a tear, wouldn't that be amazing?
- 1:17:09Speaker 6: Sign me up for that, Chuck, I would she signed.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: Up for another thing? Here? People, she's over committing Friday.
- 1:17:17Speaker 6: I'm feeling Mike. I got a lot of thing, a
- 1:17:20Speaker 6: lot of space, a lot of giving to do.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Johnny Pereeda is back on the roster to serve as
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: the backup. I mean, we don't know how long Col's
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: going to be out. I mean, you hear ten days
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: and you just think, oh, ten day. We will be
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: without him for ten days. Those side injuries, I mean
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: that's what Bryce Miller had. Who knows.
- 1:17:37Speaker 6: I mean, hopefully it's not that long.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: Fingers. I'm not gonna over promise. I'm not gonna underpromise.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: I'm just telling you it might not be ten days.
- 1:17:46Speaker 7: Okay, So we just need Mitchie to step up for
- 1:17:49Speaker 7: however long Col's out.
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: Matt Brash reab outing last night and Tacoma struck out.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: The side might be activated very soon, probably not tonight,
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: but maybe by Saturday. Speaking of the Rainiers, it is
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Rainiers Friday here on KJAR. Dick and Jackson will be
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: broadcasting from Cheney Stadium at three o'clock. I'll be there
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: with them at four, and then I'll be on the
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: call of the game with play by play voice Riley
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Pay tonight at seven o'clock as the Rainiers welcome Sugarland. Yeah,
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: we get to beat up on the Astros some more.
- 1:18:24Speaker 6: I like the country group Sugarland.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: Same people, okay, same exactly.
- 1:18:29Speaker 6: We should have no problem.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Yeah, NBA playoffs last night, no action.
- 1:18:35Speaker 9: Hello, darkness, smile, I've come to talk with you again.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: Some confused people, but thought maybe there was going to
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: be some basketball last night, but no, the playoffs went
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: dark last night to create tonight's Game six double header.
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: Cleveland has this one chance to close out the Pistons
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: at home. Otherwise it's back to Detroit Sunday for Game
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: number seven. Same deal for the well for the Timberwolves,
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: actually not the same deal. They have to win to
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: stay alive at home as they host the Spurs. Action
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: will start with the Eastern Conference game, of course, at
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: four o'clock, and then Timberwolves and Spurs will follow. But
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: that's got to be the first night since the playoffs
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: began without any basketball.
- 1:19:19Speaker 7: Well, you know, the NBA does have to figure out
- 1:19:21Speaker 7: how to stretch the playoffs as long as humanly possible.
- 1:19:25Speaker 6: So any night where they could be like, you know what,
- 1:19:27Speaker 6: let's just take a pause. That's traic effect.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: That's true. They're they're pretty guilty of that. But the NHL,
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: which we'll find out in a moment, is like, here,
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: hold my beer. You think you can stretch out and
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: a playoff? Watch this? Speaking of basketball, the Storm will
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: be in action next on Sunday at three o'clock. But
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: this is probably one of your Storm games that you
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: got circled on the calendar because there'll be in Indiana
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: taking on Caitlin Clark and the Fever at three o'clock
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: on Sunday.
- 1:19:56Speaker 6: Just remember the only cure for a fever.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: More cowboy. Yeah, I got it, gottam a cow bill.
- 1:20:03Speaker 6: That's one of your best impressions.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: Christopher Welken Stanley Cup Playoffs, Las Vegas eliminated the Ducks
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: last night.
- 1:20:10Speaker 11: John Carlson on the way back for the Ducks and
- 1:20:13Speaker 11: he sit back out to.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: The Neutrals home. Was that Johnny Best? About three minutes
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: gone in the third period.
- 1:20:19Speaker 11: Of Game six, Vegas leads the best of seven series
- 1:20:23Speaker 11: three games to two. A stealer shot the score, stinging
- 1:20:28Speaker 11: rister by pave Eldorfiaz in the right place at the
- 1:20:33Speaker 11: right time. He continues his impressive run, and Vegas has
- 1:20:39Speaker 11: a four to one.
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: League John Forsln pretending he likes the Golden Knights.
- 1:20:44Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't sound very excited about their win.
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: No, they won five, Yeah, five to one Golden Knights
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: over the Ducks, so they went in six games. Six
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: days off for Vegas, who won't begin the Western Conference
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: Finals with Colorado until Wednesday in Denver. Meanwhile, Carolina won't
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: start the Eastern Conference potentially until May twenty first, six
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: days from now. That would be twelve days off for
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: the Carolina Hurricanes. If Montreal and Buffalo end up going
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: the distance, Montreal's up three games to two, game six
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: in that series tomorrow at five. Speaking of pucks and
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: also ponies, earlier this week, we had Ed Olcik on
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: our show to talk to hockey. Found out how big
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: of a horse racing fan he is. The Preakness is tomorrow,
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: and so Ed said, I'll have picks for you ready
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: by Friday if you want to call me back. Well,
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: we called him back this morning, and so why would
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: we not give you ed Olcik's pick for the Preakness.
- 1:21:41Speaker 8: Mike pick will be number ten Napoleon Solo. I'm also
- 1:21:44Speaker 8: gonna use number nine, Iron Honor. I'm gonna use number
- 1:21:48Speaker 8: two Ocelly who I mentioned ran third into Kentucky Derby
- 1:21:51Speaker 8: and number five talk in so number ten, nice, number nine,
- 1:21:55Speaker 8: number two and number five and race thirteen at Laurel tomorrow.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: Go Ddie, old Chick. I love that picks from a pro.
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: That's right. If you want to go with a parlay,
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: He's taken the Colorado Avalanche as well, so you can
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: go Napoleon's solo and Colorado and a parlay if you
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: can find a book that will accept such a thing.
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: No Golden Tempo. The Kentucky Derby winner, he's not going
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: to race, so that means we will not have a
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: con triple crown winner this year. Preakness will start at
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: three point fifty and starting right now. An update from Philadelphia,
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: Day two of the PGA Championship. We can't get enough
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: of sniffing around other people's quarterbacks. It's divoro PQ right
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Buck in the morning Sports Radio
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ R FM. This is a
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: new feature that we've started to unveil once a week
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: since we've not had Buck. Bucky doesn't even know we're doing.
- 1:22:52Speaker 6: This, No, he doesn't. I wonder if it will make
- 1:22:54Speaker 6: him sad he's missing out.
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: And I wasn't sure if it was gonna stick. Ashley,
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: I'll be honest, but I think it lasts all the
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: way through the football season, as it should. I really
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: think we enjoy talking about other people's quarterbacks behind their backs. Yeah,
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: behind their quarterbacks. I like talking behind the backs of quarterbacks,
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: behind their backs. That's what I'm saying.
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: I understand that. Yeah you know, yeah, no, yeah, you
- 1:23:18Speaker 7: should keep doing it. I'm going to make it more complicated,
- 1:23:22Speaker 7: and I decided not too.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: So it's another segment of OPQ. Yeah I know you.
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: And so we begin with and this is actually I'm
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: not going to say something bad because I usually want
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: to make fun of other courts. Okay, but did you
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: see the Mendoza Cousins no release their video schedule release,
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: and it's basically them as step Brothers. They're acting out
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: like scenes from Step Brothers, and it is they're really
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: good at it. It was really well done, and you're like,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: these two are probably going to become best friends. It's
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: very funny. They acted out very well. I couldn't believe
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: how good an actor Kirk Cousins was. And I think
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: the Raiders may have come stumbled upon something here. They
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: because Mendoza had to be taken number one. And I
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: have my questions about Fernando Mendoz. I think a lot
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: of people do, and my questions are about whether or
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: not he can be a leader of grown ass men,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: right because he comes across a little goofy. That's all
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: there is to it. Kirk Cousins comes across a little
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: goofy as well, but I don't quite think in the
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: same way that Fernando Mendoza does. But I think maybe
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: he can kind of relate to Fernando Mendoza's quirkiness more
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: so than maybe another backup.
- 1:24:46Speaker 6: I would believe that.
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: And so I think this could be a really good solution.
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: If it doesn't work, I'm not going to blame the
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: Raiders because I think that this is pretty clever. So
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: Mendoza will quarterback when he's ready, but maybe he's not ready.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: I have a feeling that Tom Brady and the organization
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: wants Fernando Mendoza to take his time before becoming the
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: starting quarterback. And we've seen an awful lot of success
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: with quarterbacks who've been held out a year or two.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: I don't think it would ever be two years, but
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: maybe they do go a full year with Kirk Cousins
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: as their starter. He didn't play terribly at the end
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: of last year. But when he's ready, you can play him.
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: But if he does need a little extra time, maybe
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: he is having a little trouble settling into that leadership
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: role surrounded by grown millionaires. Then Kirk Cousins what a
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: terrific guy to have transition him into the National Football League.
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: Because as competitive as Kirk Cousins is, and we found
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: that out when he was disappointed with the Pennock situation
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: in Atlanta, he's also, by all accounts, like the best
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: dude in the National Football League. And he's weird too.
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: He's working like him.
- 1:26:02Speaker 6: He's a little goofy.
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: So yes, he's the John c Riley of the group.
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: And Fernando's the taller, better singing voiced, you know, you know, Brendan,
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: the Will Ferrell He's.
- 1:26:13Speaker 6: Given them something to talk about, is what you're saying.
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: It's got a voice of an angel. I think it
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: might actually work. I think I'm gonna give the Raiders
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: don't do a lot of smart things. I think this
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: might be one of the smarter things they've done in
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: a while. And they might have found the perfect mentor
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: for Fernando Mendoza and a guy that gives them an
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: opportunity to say, we don't have to throw you into
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: the fire because we think Cousin still has a little
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: bit left in the gas tank. So you take your time.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: But when you're ready, you're the quarterback. And if that's
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: in week four, if it's in week nine, if it's
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: next season, then it's next season. But this is a
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: really good handoff mentor you know, student situation here for us.
- 1:26:58Speaker 6: No, I think that they absolutely. I think you're they.
- 1:27:01Speaker 7: It makes sense to have Kirk Cousins there, and their
- 1:27:03Speaker 7: personality seem to match. And I mean Kirk Cousins has
- 1:27:07Speaker 7: been in the NFL for a very long time. If
- 1:27:09Speaker 7: anyone can show somebody the ropes of what it's like,
- 1:27:13Speaker 7: I think he'd be great at it.
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Well, we play the Raiders on the fifteenth,
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: that's week ten, right before the bye. Who do you
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: think will be quarterback for the Raiders when we face
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: them week ten?
- 1:27:24Speaker 7: I'm gonna guess it's going to be Fernando Mendozo. Yeah,
- 1:27:27Speaker 7: I think by then he will have taken the starting job.
- 1:27:30Speaker 6: I think it will be earlier.
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: I think you're probably right. I think I'll probably side with.
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: You on that.
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: But I if Cousins is playing well, I think ideally
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: the Raiders would like for him to sit the entire year.
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: But I do believe they want to be competitive. I
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: think they thought they were going to be competitive last
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: year and they crapped all over the place in my pants, yeah,
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: and in their pants, and so I think that they
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: think they're closer than what they looked a year ago.
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: So if things are humming, if they're being good, playing
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: well and competitive, maybe they stick with Cousins and ideally
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: Mendoza sits an entire year. I mean it were for
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Rogers set what three years Jordan loves at
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: two years. It is a good formula. Yes, it might
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: be the ideal formula. I mean, I get there's a
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: throwing them into the fire kind of That's what they
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: did with Manning in Indianapolis and that worked out well.
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: And that's what they did with Aikman and Dallas and
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: that worked out well, but it also battered a lot
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: of first round draft picks as well. So we'll see,
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: but I think you're probably right. I think we'll probably
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: be facing Mendoza. That's what I would bet if I
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: had to place a wager. What about Week seven? That's
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: October twenty excuse me, October twenty fifth, Yes, October twenty fifth,
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: Week seven at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean,
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: we're down with OPQ. What quarterback do you think will
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: be facing considering Patrick Mahomes was supposed to miss most
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: of the year with an injury.
- 1:29:04Speaker 7: I mean the way everybody's talking, And obviously I am
- 1:29:06Speaker 7: not a Chiefs insider, nor do I have any inside information.
- 1:29:10Speaker 7: But when I was talking to Taylor Swift the other day,
- 1:29:13Speaker 7: the way everybody's talking, it sure seems like he is.
- 1:29:16Speaker 7: I don't think they're putting out he might be back
- 1:29:18Speaker 7: on track for returning before camp starts. If he's not,
- 1:29:23Speaker 7: if they're not expecting him to be back by at
- 1:29:25Speaker 7: least week two of the season, because what a disappointment
- 1:29:27Speaker 7: for Chiefs fans if they're hyping this all up and
- 1:29:29Speaker 7: then all of a sudden he's not ready.
- 1:29:31Speaker 6: So I think Patrick Mahomes will be playing in week seven.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt about it. I actually
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: think he's I believe the rumors. I think he's going
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: to be ready for training camp.
- 1:29:42Speaker 7: I just don't think they're putting it out there if otherwise,
- 1:29:45Speaker 7: it seems insane.
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: But I don't think, as a matter of fact, I
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: don't even think it's even a question anymore that he's
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: going to be ready for week number one. I think
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: it's like a done deal that unless there's a setback,
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is going to be starting week one for
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. So certainly by week seven we
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: will be playing the Kansas City Chiefs led by Patrick.
- 1:30:06Speaker 6: Mahomes, full on Mahomes mode at that point.
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: All right, what about week two against the Arizona Cardinals.
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: So who's starting for the Arizona Cardinals in this session
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: of OPQ?
- 1:30:17Speaker 6: Who are my options? I don't even remember who's Jacoby Brissette,
- 1:30:19Speaker 6: that's right, Jacoby Brissett.
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is what the Agers, Carson Beck, and yes,
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, is he possibly the he's still out there
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: because the Steelers still haven't signed him.
- 1:30:30Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's going to be Jacoby Brissett.
- 1:30:32Speaker 7: They there have been comments about how they're trying to
- 1:30:35Speaker 7: figure out that contract, and they've been telling him he's
- 1:30:38Speaker 7: their starter. I don't see Beck or Minshoe unless Bressett
- 1:30:44Speaker 7: gets injured. But I don't see either of them stepping
- 1:30:46Speaker 7: up and taking that from Brissette.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Aaron Rodgers, are you okay? I do
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: have a sneaky suspicion that that's a lot more likely
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: than what people believe. Like I realized that he stretch
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: everything out, But if he's being given shown more love
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: by the Cardinals than he is the Steelers in his
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: mind and heart, I wouldn't rule it out. I wouldn't
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: rule it out. I mean, the money says bet On
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: Rogers playing for the Steelers, and Jacoby Brissett's the starting
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: quarterback in week number two for the Arizona Cardinals. So
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: under that scenario, I say, I'll guess I'll go with Brissett.
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: But if Rogers isn't Pittsburgh, I will bet you by
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: week nine, when we face the Cardinals. Carson Beck is
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: the starting quarterback okay for the Cardinals, because I don't
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: think they are going to go through the same process
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: as they as the Raiders will with Mendoza. And the
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: reason that I say that is I think they got
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: to find out what they have in Carson Beck this year.
- 1:31:44Speaker 6: I could understand that for.
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: A team that seems to be rebuilding a little bit
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: and probably by next year, wants to believe that they're
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: not anymore, and they do have skilled players, they want
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: to know if they are going to need to draft
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: a quarterback or what they're going to have to move
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: in order to get into a position to get their
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: quarterback of the future. Raiders already have their quarterback of
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: the future, whether he plays this year or starts next year.
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: But what the Cardinals don't know who the man of
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: the future is. And if they don't play Carson Beck
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: this year, then they're going to have to draft a
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: quarterback next year. So I think they got to find
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: out what Carson Beck has. So I think we'll face
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: Brissette in week two, I think Carson Beck in Week nine.
- 1:32:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's a fair assumption.
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: Yeah, finally, I'm going to bring this up. I'm going
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: to bring this up for your benefit. Oh gosh, we're
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: talking about other people's quarterbacks. Well, Dion Neon Dion, who
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: swears to get his peon, has said yesterday, you don't
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: realize the hell that Shador Sanders my son went through
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: in the draft process. Okay, and never has anyone earned
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: it more like I mean, considering what hell we're talking about.
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: We're not talking about like some health scare or something. Now,
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: that's how well or you know, he dropped down in
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: the draft, he wasn't sure if he was going to
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: eat for weeks at a time. He sabotaged his own
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: draft status, and he paid for it, unlike I will
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: say this, unlike anybody else I've ever seen paid for it.
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: I thought mackay Lemon was going to, you know, sabotage
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: his draft status a little bit, and maybe a little
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: bit maybe he did, but he still went in the
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: first round. And we've seen a lot of turds in
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: the process, like Josh Rosen still got taken in the
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: top ten for goodness sake once upon a time. So
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: he certainly suffered more than anyone that I can recall
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: in terms of how far he fell because he failed
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: the draft process. But that said, maybe he is a
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: cautionary tale for everybody else going forward. He certainly did
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: enough to cause his slide, and I don't know what
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: other circumstances led to him sliding so far. He should
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: have never fallen too the fifth round. No, I don't.
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: But nonetheless it's funny like, well, maybe you should have
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: been a better adviser to how he should have conducted himself,
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: rather than encourage him to be flippant, arrogant and self
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: entitled through the entire process. And he wouldn't be of that,
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: He wouldn't have suffered through such a hell getting ready
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: for the NFL draft.
- 1:34:22Speaker 7: Yeah, you kind of taught him to go around with
- 1:34:24Speaker 7: your cockiness, which you earned, I mean through a career,
- 1:34:28Speaker 7: a very successful career. Do I think that maybe you're
- 1:34:30Speaker 7: two cocky? Yes, but I just am not a big
- 1:34:33Speaker 7: fan of cockiness. But Shador carries himself with the same
- 1:34:36Speaker 7: cockiness as his father does without having anything to back
- 1:34:39Speaker 7: it up, right, I.
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: Mean, Dion could have gone to the you know, the combine,
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: which he did kind of mock. He showed up. He
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: ran one forty and left. He could have gone to
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: the combine though, and probably slapped Roger Goodell on the
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: ass and then left enough top five pick because he
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: had that much talent. He had that much talent shardor
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: time will tell, should he have been a first rounder?
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: Time will tell. He he wasn't a disaster. He played
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: better than Gabriel for the Browns this past year, but
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: he also wasn't good either, So we'll see, we'll see
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: he I mean, it doesn't matter where you're drafted, it's
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: what you do with it, yes, and so we'll see
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: from this point forward. But it's kind of funny that
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: you're asking for sympathy now when everybody was warning you, Hey,
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: you might want to tell Shador not to be blowing
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: off all these interviews because he's really rubbing GMS the
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: wrong way. And we're talking about a quarterback here, OPQ. Right,
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: that's what the segment is. I mean, this is people
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: are going to be drafting this guy to be the
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: face of their franchise and they don't want some smug jerk,
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: which is and I'm just saying he is that, but
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: it is the way he tried to come off for
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: some reason to executives around the National Football League. So
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: if he went through hell, I mean he's the one
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: that sent himself there.
- 1:36:03Speaker 6: Yeah, he did.
- 1:36:04Speaker 7: And I will say we commended him because the way
- 1:36:06Speaker 7: he handled himself in camp and he didn't want his
- 1:36:08Speaker 7: dad there to be boosting him up or doing anything.
- 1:36:11Speaker 7: He wanted to do it all on his own. So
- 1:36:12Speaker 7: I do think he has earned it. Afterwards he handled
- 1:36:15Speaker 7: the price. Yes, he has earned some respect and kind
- 1:36:18Speaker 7: of changed the direction trajectory he was going.
- 1:36:20Speaker 6: But we have to see if that continues.
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe don't mouth the press conference, but that would
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: be helpful. All right. Coming up next, we are in
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: the midst of the playoffs right now, and so we're
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: going to go fishing here in a little bit. Also
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: coming up later in the show, we do SUP now
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: on Thursdays at eight thirty. On Fridays, we do SUP
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: with you. So you ask us questions. We will ask
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: you one question and we await your answers. Have four
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: nine four five one or if you want to respond
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: on YouTube, you could do that as well. But here
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: is my question. What is the ideal Seahawk road trip
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: this year? Now that the schedule is out, scan it
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: look it over. You've probably already done this exercise if
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: I know you, and just send us a Texa four
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: nine four five to one. What the ideal Sea Hawk
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: road trip? You're gonna go watch them play on the
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: road one time this year and whatever led you to
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: that decision, let us know. But we'll go over some
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: of your answers at nine point thirty today, But coming
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: up next we've gone fishing on KJR ARAW the end
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: of the week. Don't forget that. Tacoma Rainiers baseball tonight
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: seven o'clock. I'm joining Riley Pay on the play by
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: play call, so I get to see Colt Emerson make
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: more dazzling plays out there. Maybe I get to see
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: Matt Brash give him a high five before he heads
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: on up to Seattle. Help the Mariners beat the Padres
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: this weekend. At some point, Victor Roblace is playing down

- 1:40:21Speaker 7: I'd probably wear the T shirt more often if it
- 1:40:23Speaker 7: wasn't thirty two degrees in the studios. We did get
- 1:40:26Speaker 7: a text, by the way, asking again this is a
- 1:40:28Speaker 7: pretty common question that we get now that.
- 1:40:30Speaker 6: We're on YouTube. How big are the rooms you guys
- 1:40:33Speaker 6: are in?
- 1:40:34Speaker 7: And I think, yeah, but I think, especially with the
- 1:40:36Speaker 7: producer's booth, it does look like our arms can touch
- 1:40:38Speaker 7: all corners and they can't. But I thought, kid, do
- 1:40:42Speaker 7: you know if the cameras are on, like all the
- 1:40:45Speaker 7: cameras are on in for YouTube. I just wanted to
- 1:40:48Speaker 7: show people how big the room is. I thought this, okay,
- 1:40:51Speaker 7: I just thought this might be helpful.
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: Oh, okay, so you're gonna.
- 1:40:54Speaker 7: Show Yeah, we're gonna try. Okay, So I don't.
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: Know how you're gonna do this with your head.
- 1:40:57Speaker 10: Set standing over by the wall. And now I'm walking
- 1:41:01Speaker 10: over to the other wall. Now I'm going back to
- 1:41:05Speaker 10: the other wall. And now I'm going from the back.
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: Wall to the other wall.
- 1:41:11Speaker 8: Wall.
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm back to the back wall.
- 1:41:15Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:41:15Speaker 6: I think we did it.
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: I guess I could have stepped that off while we
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: were going through.
- 1:41:20Speaker 6: It, but that was way more exciting.
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: It was fun.
- 1:41:22Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone on radio fully understands how big the room is.
- 1:41:25Speaker 8: Now.
- 1:41:26Speaker 7: The Mariners are back home this weekend to face the
- 1:41:28Speaker 7: Padres for the Better Cup, which, as we.
- 1:41:30Speaker 6: All know, is the second most important trophy in baseball.
- 1:41:33Speaker 7: Yes, with Cal Rawly on the il, though, I'm sure
- 1:41:36Speaker 7: there's a lot of people worried about how the Mariners
- 1:41:38Speaker 7: will fare without their catcher, But fear not, we have
- 1:41:41Speaker 7: signed up to have Mitch Garver dominate for at least
- 1:41:43Speaker 7: the next ten days, possibly longer if needed.
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: I can't think of anything I want.
