• 0:48
  Speaker 4: more weeks of winter. He's already ruled. I thought we
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: were moving towards spring. I mean, it sure feels like

  Speaker 4: it here, maybe winter everywhere else. Last day I spent
• 0:58

• 1:30
  Speaker 4: days right here at the side of the Super Bowl
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl Seahawks versus Patriots, and we are
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: pretty much just underway. Fine sponsors this year every year
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: that have taken up the charge here of sponsoring our
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl coverage, including Delta Airlines. They've got your back Seattle,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: from the care they put into their safety efforts in
• 1:53

  Speaker 4: deals and stunning vacation destinations, Delta is connecting you to
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the world like never before. Log onto Delta dot com
• 2:06

• 2:09
  Speaker 4: always had a good time on Delta Airline. Never feels
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: like I've never had any hassles.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: No, I don't Delta.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I like Delta.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It is definitely first class, even when you're not in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: first class.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: H Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Well,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: let's take a look at your headlines before we bring
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Greg Bell aboard. I'll go through them quickly, and they
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: are brought to you by Frost Brewed COR's Light. Of course,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl sixty Seahawks Patriots will be played this Sunday
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: at three thirty. The coaching cycle has it ended. All
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: ten vacancies it looks like, have been filled, including Clint Kubiak,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: the presumed next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: It's still not official, but most people in the industry
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: expect it to be finalized as soon as the Super
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Bowl comes to a close on Sunday. Lebron James was
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: named to his twenty second All Star team and his
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: NBA career this year as a reserve for the first time,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: and yet he continues to set records those All Star
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: reserves picked by the coaches. From what I understand, a
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: little bit of a surprise. You spent a lot of
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: the first half of the season injured, cracking taking on
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: the Ducks tomorrow night that will be at seven o'clock
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and it's in Anaheim, as the cracking getting ready to
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: close out the first half, if you will, before the
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Olympic stoppage occurs, and then they won't play for another
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: three weeks. And we are going to talk a little
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: bit of baseball for the hour comes to a close
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: because Gino Suarez signed with the Cincinnati Reds. We all
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: have been under the impression that that was an option
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: for the Mariners, but he is now a Cincinnati red
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: so that option is off the table. We are just
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: ten days away from pitchers and catchers reporting, actually just eight.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: There are some teams that report in eight days from
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: now on the tenth of February. Unbelievable. All right, let's
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: talk Seahawks Super Bowl with our Seahawks insider Greg.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Bell with the Bell tolls.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Coppola Diamond
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Collection Prosecco Chris Sparkling with bright fruit flavors to make
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: every toast shine Game Day bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Now with twelfth Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: And Bud Well. Good morning, Greg Bell, Good morning.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Where are you right now?
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: I'm in San Jose, Okay, on the street from the
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: Seahawks there, Okay.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Winter and when are they expected to see you today?
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think they got up with their that's not
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: first under agenda.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: They've got meetings and film and studies and things.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: They their first media commitment is not until this evening.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: Actually, okay, first one of the whole week.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: So that's that opening night at the convention Center in
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: San Jose.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: So you're just lounging by the pool all day long?
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Then? Is that it?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: I get a few things to do.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you're writing Roger Goodell as a press conference at
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: three o'clock, which I wasn't probably going to do much for.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: And then I put in a credential just in case.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: And then sure enough the Seahawks sale pops up, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: I'll ask about that, and what what the NFL is
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: indeed pressuring Jody Allen to no longer have it as
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: part of the trust but other than individual owner.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Has this been reported by the Wall Street Journal yesterday? Yeah?
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Little two things have happened since last week talked.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: All right, Well we might as well stay on that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I was going to ask you about it anyways, since
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you brought it up, let's dive right into that. What
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: do you know about this? Give us some more details
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: on where the possible Seahawks sale is going.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Well, those of us.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Most people in Seattle know that this was never a
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: matter of if, but when, and that the trust that
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Paul Allend trust stipulated that all of his assets, in fact,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: his MoPOP music collection is under deep water sea exploration,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: is space.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Exploration, his philanthropic interests.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, the Portland Treblazers in the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks that he owned, all of them have to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: be sold.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: He put that in his.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Will and the proceeds go to his philanthropic charities. And
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the Blazers went up for sale in September. That sale
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: may close in a few months. Here they have a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: buyer for four point twenty five billion dollars, a group
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: led by the owner of the Carolina Panthers, excuse me,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the Carolina Hurricanes, the NHL team, and Raleigh. So there
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: was increasing rumors, speculation and talk around league circles that
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks were next, that it would make sense that
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the estate would sell the Blazers and the Seahawks one two.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: And that seems to be what's happening here.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Now we can talk about the conspiracy, theories of timing
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: of it, and Robert Kraft with an NFL owners showles
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: weak it out during Super Bowl week as a distraction.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I can tell you that there's not a player, coach,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: staffer that is distracted by the that's not.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: The contract stay in effect.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And everybody still does a job that even if it
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: did get sold after the Super Bowl, it's not affecting
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the players and the actual tangible product on the field
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this week. But it does start to make you want, Okay,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: who could it be and what's the least situation. The
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Seahawks have a lease at Limenfield through twenty thirty one.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That's in the original contract that Paul Allen signed when
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: he first built the stadium. The first season was in
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: two thousand and two. It is a thirty year lease
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and then they have a twenty year option on top
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: of that thirty year lease. So the first question would
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: be with the new owner, whoever it is, whenever it is,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and act that twenty year extension of the lease to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: go out to twenty fifty one. But again, I wouldn't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: get too alarmed about the fact that this happening.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: It had to happen. It was dictated by Paul that
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: it had happen.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. I am wondering, though I have some
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: friends that are not necessarily wanting it to have to happen.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I understand that that was his wishes and whatnot,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But right now, I mean, if you just go top down,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: everything seems to be flowing pretty well. I mean, is
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: there a chance that this is something that is not
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: good for the Seahawks or the Seahawks fans out.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: There, Well, there's a chance that it's not good for
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: some people who work in the building, and the new
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: owner will bring in his new people.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: New owners will bring in new people.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: As much as these things cost, there's only a few
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: people on planet Earth that would buy it out right, and.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: We know the names.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Most times, this becomes a consort of a group of
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: owners and investors with a lead majority owner. We're talking
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: eight to ten billion dollars. This would be the largest
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: franchise valuation in sale and sports history, American sports history,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: in any sport. And that's because the NFL prints money.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Year over year.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So there will be change in some ways. But you'd
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: have to be a pretty dumb owner. And if somebody
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: has got enough money to buy the Seahawks, they're probably
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: not stupid.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: You have to be a pretty dumb owner. To change
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: the football operations right now, wouldn't you.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The GM that's for sixteen years had the best operation
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of the sport of the franchise history. The coach who
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: just in two years has taken you to a Super
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Bowl and won twenty six at the first thirty six games,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and the players that got you there. I can't imagine
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a new owner, if it is indeed before next season,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: would just start cleaning house on the football side of it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: It would make no financial or operational sense.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Greg bellis with US our Seahawks insider as he's in
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: San Jose covering the Super Bowl for the News Tribune.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: You can follow all of us coverage at the Newstribune
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: dot com. We are in San Francisco at Radio Row,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: and at some point our paths will cross again. We
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: saw Greg yesterday, but we'll have him down here at
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: the set at some point during the course of our
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: week for one of his many, many terrific updates. All right,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: So before we get off of that topic, just quickly
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: and please, because we had other things to get to.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure people hearing about the ownership would
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: like to know, like, what are some of the rumors
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: out there of who might be interested in buying the Seahawks.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: We hear about Balmer and Bezos and all of these
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: names that people are familiar with. Do you have a
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: name or two that you are on your radar?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Bethos is the one that the NFL circles would
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: love to have in their ownership circle and has been
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: for a while now. That's the high profile money branding
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: that they love. That absolutely would be the first one
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that comes to mind.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Balmber has a few other things going on with his
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: clippers down in Los Angeles. I'm not sure that he
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: would be.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: He might be an investor, but not a primary and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised, Like said, if it's a group
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of investors. Now, the attraction, of course in the Pacific
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Northwest is that there are a lot of potential investors
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in the corporate world that could local ties and local ownership.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: All right, So let's move on to the other big
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: topic we have to discuss today. Is it a done deal?
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak's the next head coach of the Raiders, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: if so, who's he taken with him?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It's not a done deal, but they can't even make
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it official until after the Super Bowl, which gives the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Seahawks some time to come at him if they want
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: an eleventh hour bush of more money and a new title.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: But Mike McDonald does not strike me, and then he has,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: in fact said he's not going to stand away in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: someone's the ambitions.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: This is the job that every coach wants to do.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: NFL head coach is only thirty two of them in
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the world, even if it is the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: They have the number one pick in the draft.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: They have ninety million dollars eating nine million dollars in
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: cap space next year, second most in the league. It
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: is an attract from an offensive standpoint, especially an attractive
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: job and what they can build.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: It's certainly not an attractive job and what they currently have.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And I knowing I used to cover the Raiders, I
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: covered Mark Davis's father, Al Mark Davis is even less
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: patient than his father in hiring and firing gms and coaches.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I would just hope, for Kubiak's sake that he keeps
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: them around it a little bit and doesn't have seventeen
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: coaches in the last twenty years. Whatever the Raiders are
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: that the problem now for the Seahawks is you, as
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, who would he take with them? And there
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: are three guys that have been integral to this Super
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Bowl run that could an easy draw that you could
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: say qback would want to take with them. John Benton,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the offensive line coach, has been huge in what has
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: happened this season for Seattley. When you talk to the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: offensive lineup for the Seahawks, they say, how clear John
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Benton's coaching is, how easily transferable to from the whiteboard
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: to the field it is, and how he teaches it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: so clearly the outside zone concepts. Rick Dennison is the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: running game coordinator, and Andrew Jenoko is the quarterbacks coach,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: but an instrumental in Sam Donold's.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Glorious landing in one year in Seattle.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: All three of those Jenoko, Benton, and Dennison came with
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Kubiak from the Saints for the twenty twenty four season
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty five season to Seattle. He's probably
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: at least going to ask if they want to come.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And Andrew Jenoko, in particular, thirty seven years old, one
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: of the up and coming offensive minds that the NFL
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: is in love with right now, would not at all
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: be surprised if that could potentially be the offensive line.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Can their offensive coordinator candidate in Las Vegas? And then
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you start thinking, Okay, then who.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: Would the Seahawks turn to.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I could see the Seahawks making a push to Andrew
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Jenoko to keep him and promote him from quarterback coach
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to offensive coreator and offer in that which would be
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a pretty enticing deal to have a Pro Bowl quarterback,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the leading receiver in the league, a thousand yard running back,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: and Super Bowl offense to take over at thirty seven
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: years old. So Kubiak may may want to take some guys,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: but the Seahawks have some manhouse options to keep guys
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: here too.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Gee. I mean, I read something talking about the Seahawks
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: heading down here and that they're loose and they're focused.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering, you talk to a lot of folks that
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: you know were in your profession and cover the NFL
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: around the country. Is is it an overarching feeling that
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks are should not necessarily dominate this game, but
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: should be heavy favorites going into this thing.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Loocid focus on the terms that Mike McDonald's been using
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: all year. He wants to embrace both. But then again,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: what coach is going to say they're tight and mindless
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and a nervous wreck.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: They're going to say that. But around the league, the
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: rest of the league that hasn't.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Seen the Seahawks all year, really got their eyes open
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs by this team, the defense against San Francisco,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the offense against the Rams. They think the Seahawks should
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: win this game, maybe not handily. Super Bowls often sway differently,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: and when you think it's gonna be a blowout, it's close.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: When you think it's gonna be closer to blow up.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: But the consensus around the people I know around the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: league is that the Seahawks.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Are the better team. Now.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Some of that is because of the New England offense
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: has not done anything in the playoffs Houston and then
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the snowstorm in Denver. The Patriots at times have barely scored,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and in fact, the Patriots may not have won the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: AFC Championship even against Jarrett stead Of, a backup quarterback
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: in Denver, if not for Steadham's lateral backward pass he
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: copped up inside the ten yard line.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: And handed New England They're only.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Touchdown of a game at a ten to seven win,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: So that seems to be where the advantage for Seattle
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: is their top ranked defense Against Drake May and the
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Patriots offense, there seems to be decisive advantage for Seattle's defense,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and defense is usually what determines championship games.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Greg Bell, are Seahawks inside of joining us? Here are
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl coverage beginning here this morning live from Radio Row.
• 16:04

  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Well I'll see there. There you go, Greg
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: and Gregor jest. They made a plan yep, uh let
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: me we.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Had plans before.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Uh well, in our last minute here the we did
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: not care T shirts they wore off the plane. I mean,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know if anyone in the history of catchphrases
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: has ever stumbled into one like Mike McDonald did. I
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: don't think he was planning to say something T shirt
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: worthy on that stage a couple of weeks ago, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: yet it's caught on like wildfire. How has he reacted
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: to all of this?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: He's kind of incredulous about it. He said that he
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: was he was screaming into the microphone because he couldn't
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: hear himself, so he thought he couldn't be heard, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: that's why he was so halting in his speech. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: that's why it's with periods that he spoke. We did
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: not care, And yeah, he said that was completely accidental.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: The one thing I did want to bring up in
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: our time here about the arrival yesterday, which is otherwise okay,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: they arrived to open the door and players walk on
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: down the tarmac a Mike McDonald's special. You want to
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: know why players love Mike McDonald The first guy?
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Did you guys notice?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Guys and gals noticed who the first guy off the
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: plane was yesterday in Santase as soon as they opened
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the door.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: No, I did not DeMarcus Lawrence.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Well, why is that he happens to be the most
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: senior player on the team the most years in the
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: NFL twelve the eleven of them with Dallas, and this
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: is his first Super Bowl. That absolutely wasn't an accident.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: That's the kind of stuff that the players loved Mike
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: McDonald for. I bet everything that I know about this
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: team that Mike macdone said, when that door opens, the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: first shots of the international comedia needs to be of
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the guy who spent the longest in the league before
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: he got here.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Wow, that kind of stuff rings through the locker room.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: They love him for that. And Lawrence, Yeah, walked out
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: with sunglasses. Guy who thirty three years old, was in
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Dallas for eleven years, thought he'd never get here. I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: thought that was a really cool moment. That was the
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: story I led with this bet in the News Tribune
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: this morning. But yeah, kind of a cool moment for
• 18:31

  Speaker 3: are some of the best wings I've ever had.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Is that right?
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're saying that even though we went to the
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: fancy dining hall, you lost. We made a mistake. Yep,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I blame you. It's all it's yeah. It's
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Chuck Buck with you, Ashley with you. As our super
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Bowl coverage, it begins right here today with us here
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: from San Francisco, and we will have Hugh Millan on
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Monday morning quarterback session starting at eight o'clock live right
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: in front of us. Mike Holmgren will also be joining
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: us at nine o'clock today as well. He'll be back
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: there in Seattle. We're gonna talk more about Clint Kubiak
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: and of course all the details with the Super Bowl
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: that we can share that are fit to share coming
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: up on the radio program. And I know this kind
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: of is a curveball, to use a baseball term. But man,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: when Gino Suarez comes off of the table, I mean,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: even though it's Super Bowl week, Bucky, it kind of
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: feels to me like we should spend a little bit
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: of time on it. This was, at very minimum a
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: backup plan for the Seahawks, and yet Justin Hollander announced
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: yesterday that yeah, it's not looking very good, and then
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: minutes later we found out that Gino Suarez signed a
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: deal with the Cincinnati Reds one year, fifteen million dollars.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I think if we would have started the off season
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: thinking that Gino Suarez would sign a one year, fifteen
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: million dollars, the eight dollar deal it would be with Seattle,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: and what a steal. We got a guy that hit
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: forty nine home runs last year and is such a
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: leader on this baseball team. But I apparently not even
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: that was something that the Mariners were willing to offer.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: And so Gino Suarez is back in Cincinnati. He re
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: signed with one of his former teams.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Is not us?
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: He's back in Cincinnati with the Reds, and so life
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: without Gino Part two begins.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, he's what thirty four or
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: thirty five years old, right, I mean, so it's it
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: seems like a couple years ago people were thinking, Ah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: this guy might be on the downhill slide, right, Like,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: you don't want to be having him as much as
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: he strikes out. You don't want to have him when
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: he loses a tick of bat speed because now it's
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: a two hundred and fifty strikeout campaign. He's hitting the
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: buck eighty and you know, runs into twenty balls, not
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: forty nine. So I get where people are coming from.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: But on the flip side of it, it's like risk
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: versus reward, and a fifteen million dollar deal with an option,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: a mutual option for a second year is something that
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: feels very Seattle Mariner ish, Like it feels like a
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: deal where you're getting a lot of bang for your buck,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: and if you don't, you still have your backup plan
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: in Ben Williamson. You have that if there's an injury
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: or if there was a lack of a decline in play.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's interesting to see that he's not coming
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: back here, considering we're all still kind of waiting for Okay,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: what is that next move? What is the next move
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: to replace Gino? Because he was on this team last
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: year that just fell short of getting to the World Series.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: So he wasn't back and you thought, okay, are you
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: going to bring him back? Is that the move? Just
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: basically resign him and Naylor and run this thing back.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: But now he's gone. So I'm sure they have a
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: couple irons in the fire on something, but that one
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: is obviously off the table.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Here's my take on it. I don't think they were
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: interested in bringing him back. I mean that's what I
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: read from all of this, because if they were interested,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: I would think that the interest level would have been
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: maybe if we can talk him into a one year deal,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: you know, where we don't have to commit long term.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Well he ends up signing a one year deal, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: so it kind of reads to me like, no, we
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: really don't want him back. We just don't want to
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: say we don't want him back because he's such a
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: fan favorite and he's such a clubhouse favorite. We don't
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: want to make it look like we really didn't make
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: much of an effort to sign him. But a one
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: year contract at fifteen million dollars for a guy that
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: popular in the clubhouse with your fan base, that's coming
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: off a damn near fifty homer season that it maybe
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: the biggest home run in the history of the franchise,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: or at least it felt like it at the time. Uh,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: and you let him go to another team at one
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: year fifteen million. I'm not saying it's the wrong thing
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: to do, just feels to me like they were like, okay, good,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: that's over with. Yeah, like almost like we didn't we
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: didn't want to do that, right, And yet if that
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: would have gone any lower man, we would really look
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: bad if we weren't the team that was signing him.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: So I don't know what they valued him at, but
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: my guess is not nearly as highly as people thought
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: they were going to value a mask.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Right, And yeah, who knows if they even had I'm
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: sure they had conversations, but who knows if they even
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: extended an offer to him. If they did, what was it,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Because if it was less than that, I would be insulting.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: And yet then that information passes around the clubhouse, Right
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: if they offered him, we'll give you one year for
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: a ten million bucks. Yeah, and he tells his homies
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: that they're like, what the hell you have forty nine homers?
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: That's not a good thing. So I'm with you. I mean,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: they already went through this once. Even worse than that
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: is like we give one year ten, that's about as
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: well as we could do.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden they're like worried, Oh
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: my gosh, we're gonna get him at one year ten.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: We don't want him. That's how it feels to me
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: at this stage.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I do think that this organization, we know, this
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: organization loves their prospect so they love them and they
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: hope that they all turn out to be great. And
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I like Ben Williamson on one side of the ball,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: and I think he's a ballplayer that is going to
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: turn into he's going to get better offensively. But I
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: can guarantee you he's not hitting fifty homers next year.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: No, I mean I.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Could probably be five on that. But you know, does
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: he save a bunch of runs at third? Fine, But
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: you don't need to be, you know, outs away from
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: making it to the World Series and then just say
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: this is the year we're gonna hope that two or
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: three of our rookies really pop. No, no, h you
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: can have a spot where you're thinking a rookie is
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: going to be there and if that doesn't work out,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: then you can address that of the trade deadline. I
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: think that you know, I'm not gonna say it's a mistake,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: because there's still is time for you to fill that
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: spot in the in the roster with another veteran bat.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: But that's one guy that was loved in the clubhouse,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: loved in the city, and he's now playing for the
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: back in the in Cincinnati on a pretty friendly deal.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean and at least pretty much like two
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: things that have to be said, and that is I
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: really believe that they want Brendan Donovan. Now, what kind
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: of a hard bargain the Cardinals are driving seems to
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: be the mystery of all of baseball and why the
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Cardinals are dragging it out so long trying to increase
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: offers that apparently aren't coming. No one really knows. But
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: they do want Brendan Donovan, and I know this entire
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: time they've wanted him more than they've wanted Genoswarrez on
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: this roster for next season. So they're still in the
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Brendan Donovan game to try to trade for him. And
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: I just hope that they don't overpay prospect wise, because
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I just don't think he's worth that. I'd like to
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: have him on the team. I think he'd be an asset,
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: and maybe he would even be a better asset than
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: what Gino would be at this stage in his career.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: But if I find out they gave up two top
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: ten prospects, like the rumor is, and you let Gino
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Swarez walk for one year fifteen million dollars when you
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: that seems very affordable and you had the space in
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: order to sign him, that's gonna feel like a mistake
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: to me that they're gonna have to rally from. Maybe
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: that is CJ. Abrams with the Washington Nationals. That'd be fun.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: That'd be a fun addition in this process. And then
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: the other thing that I think needs to be said,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: and I've said this throughout the offseason, and we just
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: keep getting more information and to verify this. They are
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: not gonna let anything get in the way of cold Emerson.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: When Cold Emerson's ready to play. Maybe it's gonna be
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Opening Day this year. I don't think it will be,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: but it might be at some point during twenty twenty
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: six that he's ready to go, and they don't want
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: anything clogging up the pipeline to keep cold Emerson from
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: playing when they feel he's ready. So I think cold
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Emerson's going to be our starting third basement at some
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: point this year and the starting shortstop and opening day
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: next season.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Well, signing Ginosuarez doesn't block that, and I don't think
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think it does either.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think this organization should be sitting anywhere like
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: we have too many good guys. No, no, and let
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: me just say they again. No, Just go ahead, It's okay.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, look at the Dodgers. Dodgers has all stars
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: sitting on the bench. Yeah, you know, they have people
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: that could probably win Cy Young's that are like, I
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: don't know if we got room for you in our rotation.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Let's not start thinking, Okay, we don't want to block
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: our prospects, so we're not gonna spend fifteen million bucks
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: on a guy that's gonna hit forty homers for you.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's you got to go out and make
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: some moves there. It will all come out in the
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: wash where people are supposed to play. When gold Emerson's
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: ready to rock and roll, right, you will find a
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: way to get his name in the damn lineup.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: They are going to add a veteran, whether it's trade
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: or some you know, sneaky free agent, at the end,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: they are going to add a veteran to this mix.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I can tell you that it's funny is that you're
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: saying that tongue in cheek a little bit. But do
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: you know that the Dodgers this year, they've said that
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: we're not in any rush to get any of our
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: starters starting pitchers ready for the start of the season
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: because we don't th they can last the season anyway.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: So as long as they're ready by playoff time, we
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: know we're gonna make the playoffs, so we don't care
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: if they're ready.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: They literally have enough arms like starting play Dodgers that
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: they could make the first two months of the season
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: like spring training where they're just hey, go give me
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: three innings and then I'm gonna piggyback you with another
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: guy for three innings, and then we'll go bang bang
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: bang for with some of our guys out of the bullpen,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: and we're just basically rest them through the regular season.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: They're gonna rest their starting pitchers through the regular season
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: for the most part, and just so that they're primed
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: and ready to go for the playoffs because they know
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: they're making the playoffs. They might not win the World's here,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: but they know they're making the players.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't sign that guy might block Oh wait, we don't care, Yeah, exactly.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: All right, Hugh Mellon joins this Monday morning quarterback. We'll
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: get back to super Bowl talk. I mean, we're in
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: the damn game, not like the rest of these fools
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: out there. Let's talk. Click Kubiak Next Sports Radio ninety
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: three point three KJRFMS over from Unnecessary Roughness. He's got
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: a show from two to five on Raider Nation. Is
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: a Raider Nation Live? Whatraternation Radio? Raider Nation Radio? And
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: so I grabbed Q to find out what they're discussing
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: in Vegas about our offensive coordinator.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: Good to have you on. Yes, it's good to be on.
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: And it's exciting time. It really is exciting time for
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: the Raiders. They've gone through a lot of head coaches
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: and obviously Pete Carroll you know very well last year
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: that didn't work out. But I feel like with a
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: younger guy, an offensive guy, that this isn't a good opportunity.
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: And supposedly with the you know, the number one overall pick,
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: most likely being f Nando Mendoza. You pair those two together,
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: it's a pretty exciting time for Rader Nation.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: I asked you this off the air, I'll ask it
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: on the air. Are you in Vegas treating it like
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: this is a done deal?
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: I'm treating it like it's anticipated to be a done deal, right,
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: only because we've been around long enough, we've seen this,
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: we know how things can change, and the one scenario
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: and it's it's funny. I've compared it to I used
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: to back the day Sel Kirby's so I used to
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: say that you have to seal the deal immediately because
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: if you if you walk away from that sale, you're
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: not gonna get it. Someone will come to their senses
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: and be like, wait, hold on, why am I buying
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: a two thousand dollars vacuum from this guy?
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Get this guy out of my house.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: So you gotta get the deal sealed immediately, right, That's
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: kind of how I've.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Been putting it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: Well, what if Seattle goes into Super Bowl, just say
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: they lose, say they lose it as a close one.
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: They say, man, we could really run it back. We
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: have a great team. Let's run it back and maybe,
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean, like anything can said it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: Maybe they win it and they win it big. It's like, man,
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: this could be a nice run that we can go on, right,
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean, Like anything could happen. So
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: I'm anticipating that it's gonna be done. But until Penns
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: put the paper, I'm not gonna say it's done.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: How far away do you feel the Raiders are? Are
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: they just Fernando Windows?
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: And no, no, no, no, this is a This is
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: a big rebuild. I mean it really is, especially the
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: division that they're in, you know, with the with the
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: Chiefs and the Broncos and the Chargers. It's it's tough
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: and GM John Spytech said that after they fire Pete Carroll,
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: he said, look, I don't expect this to be a
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: New England Patriots one year good deal. I don't expect
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: it to be a Jaguars one year good deal. It's
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: it's it's gonna take some time, but it's a great
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: starting point. You know, you get a quarterback, you get
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: Kobiyak in. You see how creative he is. You guys
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: know how creative he is. Offensively that's something that we
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: haven't seen. When we're watching the games and we're covering
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: the games. We see talented skill players like a Brock
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: Bauers and Ashton Gent, but you don't see them being maximized.
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: So I'm thinking that Clint Kubiack can do that. So
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: that's the exciting part of this.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: K Meers is with us from a Raider Nation radio.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: I grabbed him just to see what the opinions are
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: in Vegas about Clint Kubiak looks like becoming their next
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: head coach. And look, I went on with my buddy
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: down there in Vegas. I don't know, if you know him,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: maybe you don't like him. I can understand why. Steve Cofield, Yeah,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: he's a good buddy of mine. Yeah. And I went
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: on with him a year ago and I told him,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: I think I kind of like this Pete Carroll Higher
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: for you and that didn't work out. So is there
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: any gun shy element to Raider Nation about dipping into
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Seahawk waters?
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Again?
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. And I think we all liked
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: the Pete Carroll Higher.
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: I know I was pretty high on him because he's
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: got the resume right and just obviously didn't work out.
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: But him and the GM were never on the same page.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: Him in the OC, never on the same page. Gino
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: was never very good. I mean, there's so many elements.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: There was a lot that was stacked against him for
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: the beginning. So I don't hold that against Pete. I
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: know he tried to do his best. I thought it
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: was a good hire too, it just didn't work out.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: So I think Seattle's fine. I don't think that there's
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: any you know, ill will towards them. And like I said,
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: when you can have a guy like Clint Kubiak, Lyne
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: Jackson Smith and Jigbubb all over the field, when you
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: know he's gonna get double and tripled and he still
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: gets open, that's something to get excited about. Because Raiders
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: had brock Bowers and he's kind of that same guy
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: and not the same athleticism, but he's still that same guy.
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: He's their number one weapon.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: What is the Tom Brady effect? I mean, what is
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: you bring into the table? What do you expect it
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: to pan out for?
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: It feels like he brings credibility to the organization. But
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: the one thing I've been saying about him is he's
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: still you know a broadcaster. He's still getting paid thirty
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: seven million dollars a year to broadcast games, which I
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: wouldn't turn that down either, right, I mean, if I
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: can do both, I would do him as well. But
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: I just I don't know if you're going to try
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: to build a roster and you're going to be a
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: true talent of value waiter and football operations like Mark
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: Davis has called him. Can you be a a weekend dad, right?
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: Can you pick Johnny up on Saturday, take him to
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: the movies and a dinner, and then drop them off
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: on Sunday night and be like, all right, have a good.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Week of school with you mom?
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: And that's I make it relatable like that, just because
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: I think a lot of people can understand that. Like
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: I used to tell my mom, Man, it's only so
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: much fun when I go to my dad's Like yeah, because.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: He doesn't do anything.
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: He takes you to the movies and has a great time,
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: and then I gotta deal with you.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: That's a good point.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: Now, I understand what you mean, Like, I, yeah, I
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: get it, But so I feel like that that's kind
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: of what he's doing he's not in the building every day,
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: you know. John Spytekers said that. He says, well, he's
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: not able to be here every day. Well, okay, so
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: can you really get the feel of the building. Can
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: you really get the understanding of everything's going on if
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: you're not actually there, Like we could jump on teams
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: in zone, but there's only so much you can do,
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So I think it's still
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: a challenge, but he brings credibility for sure.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: There is a chance Clint Kubiak in about a year's
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: time is gonna have to tell Gino Smith, I don't
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: want you as my quarterback. How's that? How how's that
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: going to happen next year?
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: I think that's gonna happen in a couple of weeks.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: To be honest, I don't see him back at all.
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: There's I just that that needs That's a that's a
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: divorce that needs to happen. He just wasn't very good
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: with the Raiders. The Raiders weren't very good for him.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: The fan base doesn't like him, He doesn't like the
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: fan base. I mean, it's just you know, I mean,
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: it just needs to just to happen. It needs to
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: be a break. And I don't think it's all on him.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: I just think he was putting a bad situation, no
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: offensive line. He got sacked fifty five times, you know
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: what I mean. It's just he threw a bunch of
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: interceptions that were terrible. You know, he flipped off the fans,
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: which didn't go over very well. And you know, it's
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: just a lot that didn't go very well for Gino.
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: So I just think that for everyone's sake, he just
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: needs to have a break.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're excited about Mendoza.
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. I think he's got the leadership.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: He's got it between the ears. I mean he can
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: make all.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Those weird interviews though he does, which is cool. I'm
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: okay with that.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Come come on over, come on over.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: And do some weird interviews with me. I'll take it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: You know, who knows what direction he'll go, right, So
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: we'll have some fun with it. But I mean, the
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: Vegas needs leadership. That's it's not an easy place for
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: anybody to actually play and be there all the time.
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of reasons why Vegas could be challenging.
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: I think a guy like that can help be a
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: good leader too.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: You the man, Q thank you, appreciate you absolutely, man.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: This is fun.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: We got it again, all right? That fun and uh yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: go ahead and jump on the Seahawk bandwagon for this week.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: If you, oh no, you thought I wasn't, I mean
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: think Mendoza is a Heisman Trophy winner and a national champion.
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: Clint Kviet goes and wins the Super Bowl, then also,
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: that's some winning. Is that an awesome winning pedigree?
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: You've added some championship stuff.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying, yeah, it's how you start the culture
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: right and now what we call it the culture build.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Thanks man, appreciate it too, all right. Q Myers from
