- 1:41Speaker 2: M Ashley Ryan is here, Bucky Jacobson is here. My
- 1:45Speaker 2: name is Chuck Pole. Great to have you with us.
- 1:47Speaker 2: We got you till ten o'clock this morning. H And
- 1:50Speaker 2: we got a lot ground to cover here today. So
- 1:52Speaker 2: it's a good thing. We got four hours to do it,
- 1:56Speaker 2: and so a lot going on in this hill up time.
- 2:01Speaker 2: But despite that, we've now had like three days in
- 2:05Speaker 2: a row, I kind of feel compelled to start the
- 2:07Speaker 2: show every day with ken Walker. We have like a
- 2:09Speaker 2: ken Walker record here. But yesterday was the franchise Tag Day.
- 2:14Speaker 2: And before we get any serious, anything serious, I mean,
- 2:18Speaker 2: your kids still play tag? Do they still play? Is
- 2:20Speaker 2: that still something that they do?
- 2:22Speaker 1: Pumar did like a couple of years ago, but now
- 2:25Speaker 1: not really.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Not really. I mean it's hard to, like I would think,
- 2:28Speaker 2: convince a child to the merits of this run around
- 2:32Speaker 2: the yard tag. Somebody's it and then you're not it,
- 2:35Speaker 2: and then you got to tag him again. I mean
- 2:37Speaker 2: this was a staple to my childhood and our childhoods.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I mean, if you didn't have anything else to do,
- 2:44Speaker 2: you didn't have a bat and the ball, you always
- 2:45Speaker 2: had Tag to go to. Oh yeah, but I don't
- 2:48Speaker 2: know if kids, I mean, we didn't have the video
- 2:50Speaker 2: games that these kids have today. Maybe there's just way
- 2:54Speaker 2: too much cool crap for any kid to play tag anymore.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Pretty sure that it was right around the time when
- 3:02Speaker 3: Nintendo came out that it coincided with you know, when
- 3:06Speaker 3: I was like twelve thirteen, when I probably would have
- 3:09Speaker 3: stopped playing Tag anyways. But then I also was like
- 3:12Speaker 3: Super Mario Brothers is a whole lot cooler, Sean, let's
- 3:15Speaker 3: sit on this bean bag and yeah, exactly try to
- 3:17Speaker 3: save the princess.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so, I don't know if I would.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Have kept playing Tag into twelve thirteen and beyond, if
- 3:25Speaker 3: I hadn't tagged it.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Something year olds ever played Tag.
- 3:29Speaker 3: I think it was kind of over when you were here. Yeah,
- 3:31Speaker 3: I think so, But you're right, it was a staple.
- 3:34Speaker 3: I mean I can remember when we go over to
- 3:36Speaker 3: the Piquet's house, there was four kids. Each family had
- 3:40Speaker 3: four kids, and Tag was tag was it?
- 3:44Speaker 2: You were?
- 3:44Speaker 3: And it sucked because I was one of the younger
- 3:46Speaker 3: ones and not one of the faster ones, and so
- 3:48Speaker 3: I was in a lot and they would gang up
- 3:51Speaker 3: on me.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Right being it. But there was a weird part like
- 3:53Speaker 2: it hated.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Not being it right you were like, oh, why don't
- 3:56Speaker 1: they want to tag me?
- 3:57Speaker 2: There was more anxiety to not being it, but it
- 3:59Speaker 2: was more of a stain on your status in society
- 4:02Speaker 2: that if you were it.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, I mean psychological.
- 4:06Speaker 2: She's grown as she's grown. Yeah, so she didn't do it.
- 4:11Speaker 1: She did? Oh yeah, she played.
- 4:12Speaker 4: I mean I think even up till last year, she
- 4:15Speaker 4: just does not into it anymore.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Yeah, even like pick hot box? Oh yeah, do you
- 4:20Speaker 2: ever play that hot box? Yeah? I mean we played
- 4:22Speaker 2: that NonStop as kids. Do they still do that to
- 4:26Speaker 2: this day? Because it really was pretty just repetitious crap,
- 4:30Speaker 2: but it was pretty awesome.
- 4:31Speaker 3: It's like a rundown in baseball where you get you know,
- 4:34Speaker 3: first and second or whatever, and you try to not
- 4:37Speaker 3: get out. You got it, You're only safe once you
- 4:39Speaker 3: get to the bases. We used to play that where
- 4:41Speaker 3: there was two people playing first and second or whatever,
- 4:44Speaker 3: and you can have as many people as you want
- 4:46Speaker 3: running back and forth and you're trying hearing to pick
- 4:49Speaker 3: holeer and.
- 4:50Speaker 2: We just called hot box. Yeah, but yeah, that was it.
- 4:52Speaker 3: That was usually not I don't ever remember playing that
- 4:55Speaker 3: at somebody's house, Like it was always at the.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Ball you know, it's another field that wasn't being used.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're watching somebody's game, you're like, I can't
- 5:04Speaker 3: watch a game. I'm nine, I can't sit and pay
- 5:07Speaker 3: attention to something else. I need something to do. It's like,
- 5:10Speaker 3: go play hot box. Yeah, and we played that all
- 5:14Speaker 3: the time. It was always diving and you know, just
- 5:16Speaker 3: always how many grass stands can I get?
- 5:19Speaker 2: And make my mom mad? And then your mom would
- 5:21Speaker 2: tell you, like, we don't have a lot of money again,
- 5:23Speaker 2: just you know, your jeans aren't disposable, you know, all
- 5:26Speaker 2: that sort of speech that you got on the way home,
- 5:28Speaker 2: Like I cared if they had grass tangs, you could
- 5:30Speaker 2: leave them there. Yeah, there was a point though I
- 5:32Speaker 2: did care that I had mom, I can't hot box.
- 5:35Speaker 2: What if the girls see that I got grass stans
- 5:38Speaker 2: on my pants? Yea.
- 5:40Speaker 3: Luckily, when that matters to you, you're outgrown the idea
- 5:43Speaker 3: of playing tagging you're probably right.
- 5:45Speaker 2: So God has a plan. It really is a beautiful mechage.
- 5:49Speaker 2: It really is. Yeah, thank you Lord, You've made us perfectly.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I just thought, you know, any
- 6:00Speaker 2: time I ever just see video games today and I
- 6:03Speaker 2: walk by them, I'm like, man, I feel bad for parents.
- 6:07Speaker 2: How on earth can you convince your nine year old
- 6:11Speaker 2: on the merits of Tag when there's something like this
- 6:14Speaker 2: of it right, like, oh my gosh, I mean, it
- 6:17Speaker 2: looks so realistical. We haven't even opened it up for you.
- 6:22Speaker 2: He has not played a video game. That's good. We have.
- 6:25Speaker 2: How much longer do you think you have? I don't know.
- 6:27Speaker 2: There's going to come that day. He's going to come
- 6:29Speaker 2: home and he's going to be like Johnny and Philip.
- 6:32Speaker 2: He showed me the coolest game I've ever seen, and
- 6:35Speaker 2: we don't have anything like that. You still got me
- 6:38Speaker 2: in the yard playing Tag. You're the worst parent ever.
- 6:43Speaker 3: It hasn't gone quite that far, but we've already entered
- 6:46Speaker 3: into the zone.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Yes, he's already. Can I do that? Nope? No, that's
- 6:50Speaker 2: just not an option just yet. And I don't know
- 6:52Speaker 2: where the line comes.
- 6:53Speaker 3: You don't want to have the kid that's you're awkwardly,
- 6:55Speaker 3: you're making his world awkward because you don't allow him
- 6:58Speaker 3: to have some of the creature efforts that are normal
- 7:01Speaker 3: for certain kids. Just we're not in a hurry to
- 7:03Speaker 3: get there. It's like, you'll you'll get to play some
- 7:05Speaker 3: video games at some point, but I don't know when.
- 7:09Speaker 3: I don't know when because we're we're not gonna let
- 7:11Speaker 3: him have like TVs in the room, and I know
- 7:13Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit and watch him play videogames.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Now I might play with him.
- 7:16Speaker 1: You don't need the TV.
- 7:18Speaker 2: I just sit. There're so fun that if you start,
- 7:20Speaker 2: if you had one, you would play all the time.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Believe me, I got hooked on Tetris during COVID again,
- 7:26Speaker 2: so I was twenty.
- 7:27Speaker 4: I played that when I was living in a like
- 7:29Speaker 4: in a house with four other mid twenty year olds.
- 7:32Speaker 4: We would sit and play Tetris before a party, before
- 7:34Speaker 4: we hosted a party because it was so funny.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Well, now they got all these different screens and the
- 7:39Speaker 2: music is like a Russian opera. I mean, it's like really,
- 7:42Speaker 2: I couldn't get enough of it. It was it was addictive.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna say though, as far as TV's
- 7:47Speaker 4: and video games. You don't even need a TV anymore,
- 7:49Speaker 4: Like we have the VR headsets. So Palmer just plays
- 7:51Speaker 4: games on a VR headset. So she's just up moving
- 7:54Speaker 4: all around in this room that is right in front
- 7:57Speaker 4: of our kitchen that we're not using.
- 8:00Speaker 1: It's great.
- 8:00Speaker 4: She just uses this and plays with other people and
- 8:03Speaker 4: then isn't sitting in front of a TV.
- 8:04Speaker 2: What if she gets injured playing VR sports.
- 8:07Speaker 4: She's probably doing it wrong. She has run into the
- 8:10Speaker 4: wall before, That's what I'm saying. And the cat does
- 8:13Speaker 4: try to attack her sometimes while she's doing it. But
- 8:16Speaker 4: that's funny that you know what those are the obstacles
- 8:19Speaker 4: in life.
- 8:19Speaker 2: And believe me, a generation from now, once AI is
- 8:22Speaker 2: really taken hold, I mean there will go book back
- 8:26Speaker 2: at the stuff like this and laugh at what Palmer plays.
- 8:29Speaker 2: You played with this Palmer.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and the game she will play too.
- 8:33Speaker 4: She'll play like I work in a grocery store and
- 8:35Speaker 4: I'm going to check people out at the cash register,
- 8:39Speaker 4: or I work in a factory.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Like the games she plays are different.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Weird, yeah, weird. I'll tell you this.
- 8:47Speaker 3: I do want to actually this summer, get my kids
- 8:49Speaker 3: playing a little bit more hide and seek because I
- 8:51Speaker 3: think I've mentioned you before. The baron for the you know,
- 8:55Speaker 3: I don't know the ages like four to six was
- 8:57Speaker 3: the worst hider in the world in the history of mankind,
- 9:02Speaker 3: because he would just all right, let's play hide and
- 9:03Speaker 3: seek and then he would go hide somewhere and like,
- 9:06Speaker 3: all right, nine, ten here ready to not hear I come,
- 9:09Speaker 3: and he's like, I'm over here, Dad.
- 9:11Speaker 2: That's not how you play hide and seek, dude.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Yeah, kid, that's the best though, when kids are terrible
- 9:16Speaker 1: at it.
- 9:16Speaker 4: But I will say hide and seek is one that
- 9:18Speaker 4: doesn't wear off as quickly as tag does because we
- 9:22Speaker 4: still play it.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Okay, you still go with that? Yeah, okay, very good.
- 9:25Speaker 2: See here, kids, a little lesson. Like I'm so old
- 9:29Speaker 2: that even when video games came out, it was basically
- 9:31Speaker 2: like tag. Yeah, yeah, what video games?
- 9:36Speaker 1: Oh I love Pongong was good.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Hey, I'm done playing tag. I'm gonna go inside and
- 9:42Speaker 2: play tag to dark on my commodore. Yeah. Well, good
- 9:49Speaker 2: morning to you. Yesterday the National Football League played tag,
- 9:52Speaker 2: and believe me, nobody wants to be it. No, it's
- 9:56Speaker 2: not really much different than real life tag. Nobody really
- 9:59Speaker 2: wants to be it. And yet several teams did use
- 10:02Speaker 2: the franchise tag this year, Seahawks chose not to, and
- 10:06Speaker 2: as we discussed numerous times on the show and specifically
- 10:09Speaker 2: yesterday with Greg Bell, there was really only one candidate
- 10:13Speaker 2: to consider it, and that was Ken Walker, and we
- 10:16Speaker 2: didn't believe that it was going to happen. I'm not
- 10:19Speaker 2: sure how many people did believe that it was going
- 10:21Speaker 2: to happen. But to see it, to actually see it
- 10:25Speaker 2: come through on your phone in text form, it did
- 10:29Speaker 2: sort of create a reaction from me and I think
- 10:32Speaker 2: from everybody here in the office yesterday to see and look.
- 10:37Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't need Adam Schefter to tell us
- 10:40Speaker 2: that they weren't going to place the tag. Everybody locally
- 10:43Speaker 2: was saying Greg just told us yesterday they're not going
- 10:45Speaker 2: to place the tag on them, but he did pot
- 10:48Speaker 2: his tweet did come up on my phone in the
- 10:51Speaker 2: middle of the show yesterday and to see it in
- 10:53Speaker 2: writing the Seahawks are not going to offer the tag,
- 10:57Speaker 2: and then Schefter took it a step further and he
- 11:00Speaker 2: said it you know that he won't be signed and
- 11:04Speaker 2: before free agency begins. So that was like the first
- 11:08Speaker 2: time i'd seen it in writing somebody declaring that officially.
- 11:11Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna have a conversation with Greg and
- 11:13Speaker 2: we're gonna ask the question today at seven oh five.
- 11:15Speaker 2: You know, is it a foregone conclusion that ken Walker
- 11:18Speaker 2: has gone from the Seahawks. That's sort of what Adam
- 11:21Speaker 2: Schefter's tweet yesterday read. Yeah, I guess if he hits
- 11:26Speaker 2: free agency, the Seahawks could end up being the biggest
- 11:29Speaker 2: bidder in the process. But we don't expect that to
- 11:32Speaker 2: happen either. To me, that text and why I bring
- 11:36Speaker 2: it up to lead our show today sort of was
- 11:39Speaker 2: the verification that, man, it's feeling very much like ken
- 11:43Speaker 2: Walker leaving Seattle as a foregone conclusion.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're right, it doesn't. It's not any different
- 11:50Speaker 3: information that what we assumed was going to happen, you know,
- 11:54Speaker 3: when that deadline came and gone. I mean, I think
- 11:56Speaker 3: that it does hammer home the fact of the matter.
- 12:01Speaker 3: You had an opportunity, you know, over the last year
- 12:05Speaker 3: that you could have re signed him or signed him
- 12:08Speaker 3: up to some sort of extension. Then you had up
- 12:10Speaker 3: to this point where you could have basically went with
- 12:13Speaker 3: this tag number that would have been over fourteen million
- 12:15Speaker 3: dollars so you know, if there's one thing, you know,
- 12:18Speaker 3: as far as data goes, you know, they're not wanting
- 12:20Speaker 3: to pay him fourteen plus million dollars for this next season. Yeah,
- 12:23Speaker 3: you know that you don't know who is willing to
- 12:26Speaker 3: pay what, and so there's a chance that he could
- 12:29Speaker 3: come back as a free agent, but I would have
- 12:31Speaker 3: to lean far more, you know, below fifty percent, I
- 12:35Speaker 3: mean way below fifty percent, that somebody's not going to
- 12:37Speaker 3: come and offer him more than whatever that number.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Is that we know the Seahawks is less than fourteen million.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I would just be curious.
- 12:44Speaker 4: I would have loved to have heard the conversations going
- 12:47Speaker 4: on in renting because I would want to know if
- 12:50Speaker 4: there has been a talk between Ken and John and saying,
- 12:53Speaker 4: you know, hey, I really want to test free agency.
- 12:56Speaker 4: This is my only chance to do it, and or
- 12:58Speaker 4: you know, maybe my only chains to do it.
- 13:00Speaker 1: And I'm very curious.
- 13:01Speaker 4: I want to see what's out there and the level
- 13:04Speaker 4: of which transparency there was, you know, between the two
- 13:07Speaker 4: of them. I would be curious to know if it
- 13:09Speaker 4: was like there's not been a lot of talk and
- 13:11Speaker 4: it's just been Schneider and the agent doing all the talking,
- 13:15Speaker 4: or if ken and John actually sat down and said, Okay, yeah,
- 13:18Speaker 4: we're gonna you know, yeah, well we understand, go test it,
- 13:22Speaker 4: come back talk to us.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Well, obviously we don't know the answers to that. My
- 13:26Speaker 2: guess is that ken Walker, a lot of these players
- 13:31Speaker 2: are sort of instructed, let your agent work for you. Yeah. Now,
- 13:35Speaker 2: ultimately they do have the final say, and some are
- 13:38Speaker 2: more actively involved than others. Ken Walker is so polite
- 13:42Speaker 2: and demure in his actions that my guess is he
- 13:47Speaker 2: kind of felt like, maybe I'm in over my head
- 13:49Speaker 2: and I'm going to let my agent do the talking
- 13:51Speaker 2: for me at this stage, maybe it would have been
- 13:53Speaker 2: more actively involved. That they've shown love prematurely, but none
- 13:57Speaker 2: of us should blame them first not having shown and
- 14:00Speaker 2: he loved to ken Walker. There were some frustrations going
- 14:03Speaker 2: all the way back to the Pete Carroll era. There
- 14:05Speaker 2: were frustrations this year. There were numerous times, and this
- 14:08Speaker 2: cannot be forgotten in the conversation where Mike McDonald was
- 14:11Speaker 2: choosing to go with Zach Sharbonay in critical moments and
- 14:15Speaker 2: games because he just trusted him to get the necessary
- 14:19Speaker 2: yardage more than he did Number nine. It's just the
- 14:22Speaker 2: bottom line now, once Sharbonay got hurt and we got
- 14:25Speaker 2: to the playoffs, Walker played his best football and his
- 14:30Speaker 2: stock went through the roof. As was reported yesterday, there
- 14:33Speaker 2: is major interest in the guy. So I would imagine,
- 14:37Speaker 2: you know, I think Ken Walker is just kind of
- 14:40Speaker 2: one of those I don't get I play football, I
- 14:42Speaker 2: don't get my hands dirty with the business side of it.
- 14:45Speaker 2: I've been told by a lot of people to let
- 14:47Speaker 2: my agent work for you. And if I'm Ken Walker's agent,
- 14:50Speaker 2: you know I'm saying, let's see the free agent market now.
- 14:55Speaker 2: I think where agents kind of get lost is that
- 14:58Speaker 2: they don't take into account of players entire happiness. I
- 15:02Speaker 2: would like to think that an agent would that was
- 15:05Speaker 2: Ken Walker's agent, would say, hey, let's see what you're worth,
- 15:08Speaker 2: and then that's weighed against the offer and your knowledge
- 15:13Speaker 2: of how much you like it here, the team you're on,
- 15:16Speaker 2: how much you like your teammates. I mean, you're in
- 15:18Speaker 2: a good situation here, ken You know you have a
- 15:21Speaker 2: good team to play with. You might win a couple
- 15:23Speaker 2: more Super Bowls with this group, and will let's just
- 15:27Speaker 2: see what the offer is and let's weigh it against it.
- 15:29Speaker 2: I would like to think he had the type of
- 15:31Speaker 2: agent that would point out what can what would make
- 15:34Speaker 2: Ken Walker happiest. But there are a lot of agents
- 15:37Speaker 2: out there that just want the biggest nut because that
- 15:40Speaker 2: means that's that they get the biggest payday. So I
- 15:44Speaker 2: don't know, don't have any I don't have any knowledge
- 15:46Speaker 2: of his agent or what the negotiations, what kind of
- 15:49Speaker 2: negotiations have taken place, But my guess is that they've
- 15:55Speaker 2: the agent has sat down with John and kind of
- 15:58Speaker 2: mapped out, Hey, we've waited this long, We're going to
- 16:00Speaker 2: see what our guy is worth. We'll circle back and
- 16:03Speaker 2: let you know what's going to cost to keep him.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you've met my former agent,
- 16:11Speaker 3: Joe Speed, and I had opportunities at different times during
- 16:14Speaker 3: my career to have where bigger agents were coming after
- 16:17Speaker 3: me or were interested in representing. And even one time
- 16:21Speaker 3: I was close because the guy, you know, Snake oil salesman,
- 16:24Speaker 3: kind of sold it as I can get you all
- 16:26Speaker 3: this extra stuff. Your guy's a little agent. He doesn't
- 16:29Speaker 3: have the same connections that I have. There was some
- 16:31Speaker 3: truth to that.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Well.
- 16:32Speaker 3: I ended up sticking with Joe for the reasons that
- 16:34Speaker 3: you were just pointing out that he was doing it
- 16:37Speaker 3: for me more than he was doing it for.
- 16:39Speaker 2: What he was going to get out of it. Now
- 16:40Speaker 2: he wants both.
- 16:41Speaker 3: He wants to be able to make money for himself
- 16:44Speaker 3: and make money for me, and be able to represent
- 16:46Speaker 3: people that he enjoys. I do think that a lot
- 16:49Speaker 3: of times it gets lost on the players, the idea
- 16:53Speaker 3: of yeah, the money aspect, what you're seeing right now
- 16:56Speaker 3: in dollar figures for your play is one thing. But
- 16:59Speaker 3: what you could make when you become a hero of
- 17:02Speaker 3: a town because you stay with that team for your
- 17:05Speaker 3: entirety of your career. I mean Ken Walker right now,
- 17:08Speaker 3: if he was to, let's just say take a tiny
- 17:10Speaker 3: bit less. Let's say that somebody out there offers him
- 17:13Speaker 3: fourteen million and the Seahawks offer him twelve million for
- 17:16Speaker 3: a three year deal. So six million bucks that he
- 17:18Speaker 3: would leave on the table. That's a lot. But if
- 17:21Speaker 3: you end up playing three more years and maybe even
- 17:23Speaker 3: signing another extension for a couple more years, you play
- 17:25Speaker 3: five more years as a Seahawk, and you win another
- 17:28Speaker 3: Super Bowl two, you're gonna make up that money as
- 17:33Speaker 3: an after football in your after football life, as as
- 17:37Speaker 3: a Seahawk from start to finish, so I just think
- 17:39Speaker 3: that that sometimes gets lost on guys. They're just all about, like,
- 17:43Speaker 3: what's my bank account going to say?
- 17:45Speaker 2: Right after I signed this contract. It's a Wiener measuring contest.
- 17:48Speaker 2: A lot of times it's their money made this much,
- 17:51Speaker 2: and I'm going to make more than him. It's my turn.
- 17:53Speaker 2: That's certainly what the receivers do to one another. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 17:57Speaker 2: And so there's that aspect of it as well. I
- 18:00Speaker 2: don't know if ken Walker falls prey to that, but
- 18:03Speaker 2: my guess is ken Walker is the type that says,
- 18:06Speaker 2: I don't want to rattle cages. I don't want people
- 18:09Speaker 2: to tell me they don't like me, or I'm not
- 18:11Speaker 2: only where. I will stay out of this and let
- 18:14Speaker 2: my agent work for me, and then once I know
- 18:18Speaker 2: the variables, then I will be there to make the
- 18:21Speaker 2: decision as to where I want to go. But he's
- 18:24Speaker 2: going to get a bigger offer from another team out
- 18:27Speaker 2: there than what the Seahawks are going to get. Yeah, Now,
- 18:30Speaker 2: just what he does with that, I don't know. I mean,
- 18:33Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans have the most cap space, and they
- 18:36Speaker 2: have a running back issue, and they are a team
- 18:39Speaker 2: that's desperate to get good again. That probably leads to
- 18:44Speaker 2: a much more significant offer than what the defending world champions,
- 18:49Speaker 2: who kind of know what they're doing, are going to
- 18:53Speaker 2: give ken Walker. So we shall see. But the tag
- 18:57Speaker 2: deadline is over. Ken Walker was not tagged, and so
- 19:00Speaker 2: now we wait and see. Hopefully we find out something
- 19:03Speaker 2: because I'd like to see him stay here. I hope
- 19:05Speaker 2: we find it. If we find out news that means
- 19:07Speaker 2: that he's gonna, you know, before Monday, then there's still
- 19:11Speaker 2: a shot that you've got negotiation soul negotiation with him
- 19:16Speaker 2: become Monday. If he's a free agent, I think it's
- 19:19Speaker 2: pretty much a foregone conclusion that he's out of here.
- 19:21Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
- 19:23Speaker 2: rest of the show. What's on TEP? What's on TEP?
- 19:30Speaker 2: Greig Bell will join us to answer our questions today
- 19:32Speaker 2: at seven o five our Seahawks Insider. We are four
- 19:35Speaker 2: days from Tamperfest. That's right, Monday morning, we will get
- 19:39Speaker 2: our tamp on. There's no stopping us. People that want
- 19:43Speaker 2: to turn our tamp off, you can forget about it.
- 19:45Speaker 1: No, it's gonna be on full flow.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Tamp is gonna be on the flow, full flow, no
- 19:52Speaker 2: question about it. H Kyler Murray is gonna be cut
- 19:55Speaker 2: next week, according to reports. We'll talk about Sweet and
- 19:59Speaker 2: his few that will not be in the NFC West
- 20:03Speaker 2: any longer. And I'm just relieved that we don't have
- 20:05Speaker 2: to twice per year have the pre game week long
- 20:09Speaker 2: conversation about worrying about Kyler's legs. Hey, I'm so sick
- 20:13Speaker 2: of having that kind I agree.
- 20:15Speaker 1: I agree that every time it's like, oh, I guess
- 20:17Speaker 1: we're really not that worried.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Also, Drew Dolman retired yesterday. If that name doesn't conjure recognition,
- 20:26Speaker 2: don't feel bad. He is a starting center for the
- 20:29Speaker 2: Chicago Bears who had a pretty good year, but at
- 20:32Speaker 2: age twenty seven, five years into the league, he retired.
- 20:36Speaker 2: This is the third Stanford Cardinal that has done this
- 20:39Speaker 2: in the last decade. I don't know if they're just
- 20:41Speaker 2: teaching different things in Stanford, like if the medical community
- 20:44Speaker 2: there just warns these kids, I get five years and
- 20:48Speaker 2: get out. But it always seems to be a Stanford
- 20:52Speaker 2: Cardinal that does this early retirement in the National Football League.
- 20:56Speaker 2: And there's another example of it yesterday. NHL trading deadline
- 21:00Speaker 2: is this Friday. We'll talk about whether or not the
- 21:02Speaker 2: krack and need to make a blockbuster move. Today, al
- 21:04Speaker 2: Kiniski will join us at nine thirty to discuss tonight's game, cracking,
- 21:08Speaker 2: trying to make it three in a row and looking
- 21:10Speaker 2: for revenge against the Saint Louis Blues. They'll drop the
- 21:13Speaker 2: Pucket Climate pledge at seven pm. Over there at heck Ed,
- 21:17Speaker 2: You've got U basketball, they're taking on us C sands
- 21:21Speaker 2: their best player who they cut earlier this week. Seven
- 21:25Speaker 2: point thirty is your tip there and in the WBC,
- 21:29Speaker 2: it gets started today seven am. I do believe it
- 21:32Speaker 2: will be Australia versus TYPEI, the first WBC official game
- 21:39Speaker 2: of the tournament. Meanwhile, the US continues to play exhibition
- 21:43Speaker 2: games for the tournament. Yesterday they beat up on the
- 21:46Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants and today they take on the Colorado
- 21:50Speaker 2: Rockies at three pm. Meanwhile, the Mariners will play tonight
- 21:53Speaker 2: at six pm against the Giants. Perry Hill will join
- 21:57Speaker 2: us today. We didn't make connections with the field coach
- 22:01Speaker 2: while we were at spring training, but we will make
- 22:03Speaker 2: connections with him today and I do have a lot
- 22:05Speaker 2: of questions for Perry Hill, so looking forward to that
- 22:08Speaker 2: conversation At eight thirty. The Mariners loss to the Angels
- 22:12Speaker 2: yesterday by a final score of seven to six. Coming
- 22:16Speaker 2: up next, though, we got our first look at Team
- 22:18Speaker 2: USA yesterday, also first look at the Dominican team and
- 22:22Speaker 2: nearly every team participating in the WBC. We'll discuss Sports
- 22:27Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, another round of check
- 22:30Speaker 2: yes or no. We've got green Jacket ceremony and Green
- 22:34Speaker 2: Jacket Draft. We haven't done one of those in a
- 22:36Speaker 2: long time, and we've never done one like this. We'll
- 22:38Speaker 2: do that at nine o'clock today and we will get
- 22:41Speaker 2: reckless at breakfast or did I mention that reckless at
- 22:44Speaker 2: breakfast at seven forty five? But yesterday we got a
- 22:48Speaker 2: first look at Team America and that's pretty good team.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Pretty good team they've assembled. Yeah, yeah, that was something.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Yeah, it was nice to roof for Aaron Judge for
- 22:58Speaker 3: a change. Yeah, yeah, exactly a little bit. I'll go
- 23:01Speaker 3: ahead and give him a little bit. Bregman was one
- 23:03Speaker 3: who was like, oh, oh, that's I wasn't pissed off
- 23:06Speaker 3: when that guy just hit a homer.
- 23:07Speaker 2: That's fine.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I was funny when they were interviewing drow Right
- 23:12Speaker 3: at the end of the interview, they're like, Hey, by
- 23:14Speaker 3: the way, if you ever do decide to manage, you're
- 23:18Speaker 3: not gonna be able to write a line up like
- 23:19Speaker 3: this one. Yeah, because, yeah, that is about as all
- 23:22Speaker 3: Star team as you can get.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Hitting Cal sixth, Yeah sixth.
- 23:27Speaker 3: Pretty crazy? Wake up d row Yeah what are you
- 23:30Speaker 3: thinking that guy?
- 23:32Speaker 1: I knew I didn't trust him.
- 23:34Speaker 2: It's interesting you brought up the thing about Bregman though,
- 23:36Speaker 2: because if Bregman did become a Mariner, and there was
- 23:39Speaker 2: some talk this year, I would like it. I'm not
- 23:41Speaker 2: so bogged down by those emotions, but I would be like, Okay,
- 23:46Speaker 2: I'll have to overcome not really liking the guy. If
- 23:49Speaker 2: Aaron Judge became a Mariner tomorrow, yeah, yeah.
- 23:57Speaker 3: The disdain for Aaron Judges is just because he's so
- 24:01Speaker 3: good and he plays for the Yankees, the hated Yankees,
- 24:04Speaker 3: and most most Mariner fans are going to dislike the
- 24:07Speaker 3: Yankees more than anyone. If there is a team that
- 24:09Speaker 3: they dislike more than that, it's the Astros, but for
- 24:12Speaker 3: a completely different reason. I mean, it's because of the
- 24:14Speaker 3: fact they cheated and he's part of that, and.
- 24:16Speaker 2: I want MVP.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely wouldn't say that.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it probably is added to the air
- 24:24Speaker 3: Judge thing, is that that whole MVP thing probably adds
- 24:28Speaker 3: to it at this point. But yeah, there's those are
- 24:30Speaker 3: two totally different things. I too would I mean, Bregman's
- 24:33Speaker 3: a really good baseball player. He's easy to he's easy
- 24:36Speaker 3: to recognize what he brings to the table, and then
- 24:38Speaker 3: he's easy to dislike simply because he's kind of arrogant.
- 24:41Speaker 2: And then he was an astro forever.
- 24:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have been good with either of them
- 24:45Speaker 4: if they had come to the Mariners.
- 24:47Speaker 1: But I do agree.
- 24:48Speaker 4: I think the Bregman thing, I would have been like, Okay,
- 24:50Speaker 4: it's gonna be weird to cheer for him.
- 24:52Speaker 1: That's fine.
- 24:52Speaker 4: But yeah, the only reason I do not cheer for
- 24:55Speaker 4: Aaron Judge is because of his uniform.
- 24:57Speaker 2: He's very that is it. He's very very like yeah,
- 24:59Speaker 2: and amazing, yes at what he does, and I really
- 25:02Speaker 2: don't think he's real. And I've even seen him take
- 25:04Speaker 2: batting practice at Tea Mobile, but I haven't pinched him.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, have you poked him?
- 25:09Speaker 2: No? Yeah, that's trying tried to put my hand through
- 25:11Speaker 2: him to see if he's a holograms twenty twenty six.
- 25:14Speaker 2: He could be a hologram, Yeah, I haven't.
- 25:16Speaker 1: He's more likely to be a robot.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Yeah. If he's a robot, you know, I haven't checked
- 25:19Speaker 2: his batteries. See if he's got a battery hatch. I
- 25:22Speaker 2: don't know. Uh so I'm still not one hundred percent
- 25:25Speaker 2: convinced that he is a real human being. Did you
- 25:28Speaker 2: watch it all the Dominican No game last night? I
- 25:32Speaker 2: mean I saw highlights, Oh my gosh. I mean, you
- 25:37Speaker 2: know how they say, like Gus Johnson needs to save
- 25:40Speaker 2: something for later in the game. You can't get too
- 25:43Speaker 2: excited about a call in the first quarter because you've
- 25:46Speaker 2: got three What if something better happens later in the game. Yeah, uh, Dominican,
- 25:51Speaker 2: I realize you're excited. And I know you were hosting
- 25:54Speaker 2: the game last night, but that was an exhibition game
- 25:57Speaker 2: against Tiger's minor leaguers. Wow, were they over the town?
- 26:01Speaker 2: Oh my? Were they at fevered pitch? WBC, We're winning
- 26:06Speaker 2: the whole damn thing. Like there was that was some enthusiasm.
- 26:10Speaker 2: That was some hometown spirit right there. The Dominicans are
- 26:14Speaker 2: fired up.
- 26:16Speaker 3: I did not see it, and I'm now that you
- 26:18Speaker 3: mentioned it like that. I'm glad because the exuberance. I
- 26:22Speaker 3: mean they play a kid's game with the childlike exuberance.
- 26:27Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean that's that's just the way that is,
- 26:29Speaker 3: and that's fine. They don't understand oftentimes the timing of
- 26:34Speaker 3: the whole situation, like when right, like that's when it
- 26:37Speaker 3: becomes a you have beanbow wars of all right, pimp something,
- 26:41Speaker 3: that's fine, but don't like steal second when you're up
- 26:43Speaker 3: by ten. You know, don't don't do things that are
- 26:46Speaker 3: unwritten rules, so to speak. And you would think, yes,
- 26:50Speaker 3: that you would just be like, Okay, we're gonna come
- 26:52Speaker 3: out here and put a whooping on the Tigers minor
- 26:55Speaker 3: leaguers with.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Our the dr All Star team, an amazing team. Yeah,
- 27:01Speaker 2: you just expect to go out there and do it.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Like it looked like the US went out there and
- 27:06Speaker 3: expected to kind of put it on San Francisco. They
- 27:08Speaker 3: did exactly that, and it's just like, Okay, that's what
- 27:12Speaker 3: we were supposed to do.
- 27:12Speaker 2: That's our job. You should do that.
- 27:14Speaker 3: And I'm not surprised that they were pretty fired up
- 27:17Speaker 3: about it, because they are fired up. I mean, there's
- 27:19Speaker 3: nothing about there's nothing about that country or most of
- 27:22Speaker 3: the Latin American countries that there's there's nothing they love
- 27:25Speaker 3: more than their baseball.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Oh, I mean it's amazing how how the team that
- 27:29Speaker 2: they field considering how small that country is. Yeah, the
- 27:35Speaker 2: team that they put on the field, it's like you
- 27:37Speaker 2: want to talk about a a nation that loves itself
- 27:42Speaker 2: in baseball? Good night nurse. Yeah it is. It's it's
- 27:47Speaker 2: actually a present. And they were at home for the
- 27:50Speaker 2: game taking on the Tigers. But they have back to
- 27:53Speaker 2: back to back home runs at one point with three superstars.
- 27:56Speaker 2: It was Soto, Camonero, and Machado, actually Sodo Machado than
- 28:02Speaker 2: cam and Arrow, and I thought the world was gonna
- 28:04Speaker 2: tilt off its axis. I mean, that was the explosion
- 28:09Speaker 2: that went on in that crowd over those three things.
- 28:12Speaker 2: I mean, it was something to behold. They do love
- 28:15Speaker 2: themselves some baseball.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Well, you want to talk about the game of tag. Now,
- 28:18Speaker 3: the I guarantee they play a lot of hot box.
- 28:21Speaker 3: But I mean I can when I played there, you're
- 28:23Speaker 3: taking a van or whatever from your hotel to the
- 28:26Speaker 3: game down by the river more like a canal, down
- 28:30Speaker 3: by a canal. And and then but I mean it
- 28:33Speaker 3: is every kid is playing baseball every everywhere, along every
- 28:37Speaker 3: single I mean, that's that's the reason that they're pumping
- 28:40Speaker 3: out Superstar after Superstar. Is they from the They're never
- 28:44Speaker 3: like video games.
- 28:45Speaker 2: That's not an option.
- 28:46Speaker 3: Go out and take some ground balls, go out and
- 28:48Speaker 3: hit some bottle caps with a broomstick, and then hopefully someday.
- 28:53Speaker 2: You'll get by the way, more kids should do that. Yes, yeah,
- 28:57Speaker 2: as long as it doesn't it doesn't get shot in
- 28:59Speaker 2: your eye.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Should you wear protective glasses, that's.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Probably a good idea, But toughen up a little bit,
- 29:04Speaker 3: rubbed some dirt on it, you use your eyelids, close
- 29:06Speaker 3: your eyes, you.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Know, hit it and then close them.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Yeah, Babe Ruth played his entire career with a bottle
- 29:12Speaker 2: cap in his eye.
- 29:13Speaker 1: A lot of people know he just drew an eyeball
- 29:15Speaker 1: on it.
- 29:15Speaker 2: How good he would have been without that? You know,
- 29:18Speaker 2: they just make up stories and them. Yeah, people of yesteryear. Yeah,
- 29:22Speaker 2: it looked like I realized I was just drawn on them. Yeah.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Satul Page had one hand.
- 29:30Speaker 3: H Yeah, you could with that one thatched to his shoulder, right, Yeah,
- 29:35Speaker 3: he had short arm, there was no elbow.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Yeah, Satul Page was born without an elbow and he
- 29:39Speaker 2: was still the greatest picture to ever live.
- 29:41Speaker 1: It's incredible.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it's it's underway, and and and I
- 29:45Speaker 2: think that there is like a little bit of a
- 29:47Speaker 2: service announcement for all of those people that do have,
- 29:50Speaker 2: you know, when the Mariners lose two out of three
- 29:53Speaker 2: to the A's and you lose your ever living minds
- 29:56Speaker 2: that I hope we do have in this w B
- 30:00Speaker 2: see a moment where one of the powers, you know
- 30:03Speaker 2: it loses to a great Britain in a game. Because
- 30:07Speaker 2: I think that I don't know why it is, but
- 30:09Speaker 2: I do think that a lot of baseball fans need
- 30:11Speaker 2: to be reminded that this game has just played differently.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Like if our best NFL players played against the Dominicans'
- 30:19Speaker 2: best American football players, we'd win ten thousand to nothing,
- 30:25Speaker 2: you know, because they just don't. But in baseball, the
- 30:28Speaker 2: Dominican could take on you know, Germany, and if the
- 30:34Speaker 2: German pitchers on that day, they can lose the damn game.
- 30:37Speaker 2: As just what Canada lost to the Blue Jays yesterday.
- 30:40Speaker 2: A Blue Jays team that's still working on things and
- 30:46Speaker 2: has half their roster playing in the WBC Venezuela lost
- 30:51Speaker 2: to Houston yesterday, So it's just a game where I mean,
- 30:57Speaker 2: you there's not as much difference. There's not as big
- 31:00Speaker 2: as gap is what you think. And yes, there are
- 31:03Speaker 2: some superstar teams. And my guess is in the end,
- 31:06Speaker 2: the US, Dominican, Venezuela, you know, Japan, it's coming down
- 31:11Speaker 2: probably to those four teams to win the WBC this year.
- 31:15Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean that we can't lose along the
- 31:18Speaker 2: way to some team we have no business losing to,
- 31:22Speaker 2: just like there's a chance that the Blue Jays watered down.
- 31:27Speaker 2: We're still working on our spring training game. Team could
- 31:31Speaker 2: whoop the ass of Canada yesterday, which is exactly what
- 31:35Speaker 2: they did.
- 31:35Speaker 3: I was talking to Miles master Bony that week that
- 31:38Speaker 3: me and my family were down there, and he was
- 31:41Speaker 3: like he was excited about it because there's not a
- 31:43Speaker 3: lot of expectations for Italy that he and Can's owner
- 31:47Speaker 3: plan for.
- 31:48Speaker 2: But they know that they could go out.
- 31:49Speaker 3: There and just be a little scrappy and upset some
- 31:51Speaker 3: of these big dogs and that's all they need, yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 3: to make their experience great. Yeah, just one upset. Yeah,
- 31:57Speaker 3: I mean, if they were to beat us, that would
- 31:59Speaker 3: be so if they were to just even beat Mexico,
- 32:02Speaker 3: that would be a feather in their cap. And if
- 32:04Speaker 3: you think that those guys aren't competitive even though they know,
- 32:07Speaker 3: you look at the rosters, are gonna announce the lineups,
- 32:09Speaker 3: and you're gonna look across there and see a guy
- 32:11Speaker 3: that hit sixty five homers last year hitting sixth. You
- 32:14Speaker 3: don't have anybody like that on Italy. And yeah, you're like, hey,
- 32:18Speaker 3: let's scratch a couple of runs across the plate. See
- 32:21Speaker 3: what happens. You know, all of a sudden they hit
- 32:23Speaker 3: a couple of Adam balls and and next thing you know,
- 32:25Speaker 3: you're you're in a dogfight at the end of the game.
- 32:27Speaker 3: It's it most certainly could happen. As a matter of fact,
- 32:30Speaker 3: it will happen. There will be an upset of some sort.
- 32:32Speaker 1: It's like, was it Netherlands in the last one or
- 32:34Speaker 1: was it two? Yeah, the last I think, and they
- 32:39Speaker 1: they beat Dominican.
- 32:40Speaker 2: It was an early and Kenley Jansen right at the
- 32:42Speaker 2: beginning of his career, so it's been about fifteen years.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Hasn't been that long.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Yeah, since they did that, but and maybe they've done
- 32:49Speaker 2: it since.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Because yeah, there was something recently that that, because I
- 32:52Speaker 4: remember everybody was all excited about.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Well, they're no joke either. I mean, it's not like
- 32:56Speaker 2: the freaky deaky Dutcher out there and they own Curius
- 33:00Speaker 2: and some neighboring islands Trinidad and to No, not Trinidad
- 33:03Speaker 2: and Tobago, but there's another like so they've got it
- 33:06Speaker 2: actually really good team. They got Xander Bogarts and Sedan
- 33:09Speaker 2: Rafaela and uh.
- 33:11Speaker 1: It was the Olympics, That's what it was.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Yeah, a number of so the freaky Diki Dutch and
- 33:16Speaker 2: they're sneaky.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how everybody got to know who Lars newtbar.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna show up and you're gonna think you're
- 33:23Speaker 2: playing a team wearing wooden shoes and the next thing
- 33:26Speaker 2: you know, you got your boat raced. Because they got
- 33:29Speaker 2: six studs all stars from Kirasau. I mean, that's that's
- 33:34Speaker 2: a possibility. All right. Greg Bell is gonna join us
- 33:37Speaker 2: at seven oh five Headlines at seven. One of the
- 33:40Speaker 2: headlines today is that it looks like the Seahawks are
- 33:43Speaker 2: not gonna have to deal with Kyler Murray twice per
- 33:45Speaker 2: year any longer. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
- 33:49Speaker 2: R FM call off the such party. What sorry, bukaroo,
- 33:54Speaker 2: little swites just passing through. Yes we've taken off. Yes
- 33:59Speaker 2: we're diving into pillow. Little sweetest self employed. It's the
- 34:04Speaker 2: sweet one. But I guess he more than passed through
- 34:13Speaker 2: the NFC West. You know, they had seven year career.
- 34:17Speaker 2: But nonetheless, this sweet we need to have to deal
- 34:21Speaker 2: with him no longer. H he's gone, he's out of
- 34:23Speaker 2: the division. We are finished with having.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Now he's taken off like a rocket.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Two conversations a year about Kyler Murray's threat to run
- 34:33Speaker 2: done with it?
- 34:34Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very interesting things. The arc of this dude's career, right,
- 34:41Speaker 3: I mean, first, overall, pick and he showed a couple
- 34:44Speaker 3: of times far fewer times did he show that he
- 34:47Speaker 3: could be really good than he showed he was not
- 34:49Speaker 3: very good. And then off the field, just the attitude,
- 34:52Speaker 3: the effect that he kind of just gives off of
- 34:56Speaker 3: I don't really care and which is the exact opposite
- 35:00Speaker 3: of what you need if you're a franchise quarterback.
- 35:02Speaker 2: I'm curious to see how this whole thing pans out.
- 35:05Speaker 3: It's not one that I'm leaning in the direction of
- 35:07Speaker 3: he's going to have a resurgence. It feels more like
- 35:11Speaker 3: he's going to go somewhere, sit the bench, maybe get
- 35:14Speaker 3: an opportunity, probably not be ready for that opportunity, and
- 35:17Speaker 3: then be done.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Well most of it. And Hugh Millen would be the
- 35:21Speaker 2: perfect guest to discuss this, I mean most of the
- 35:24Speaker 2: NFL's existence. It's the quarterback had to have some size
- 35:28Speaker 2: to him. You know, you had to be able to
- 35:29Speaker 2: see over the line, You had to be able to
- 35:31Speaker 2: take a beating, you know, things of that nature. And
- 35:34Speaker 2: Russell Wilson sort of changed the minds and attitudes of
- 35:37Speaker 2: a lot of NFL executives because he was undersized and
- 35:42Speaker 2: went lower in the draft than maybe his career in
- 35:49Speaker 2: college suggested that he should have gone. And then he
- 35:52Speaker 2: comes in here and says, hey, my size is no
- 35:54Speaker 2: big deal. And by the way, one thing about Russell Wilson,
- 35:57Speaker 2: say what you want about him, that was the tough,
- 36:00Speaker 2: this most durable dude in the National Football League. Ye
- 36:03Speaker 2: during his career. I mean, that guy just did not
- 36:05Speaker 2: get hurt. He never got weight, he never got wobbly
- 36:09Speaker 2: on a football field. It was unbelievable to watch him
- 36:12Speaker 2: take the beating that he did and never once struggled
- 36:15Speaker 2: to get back up off the field. I mean he
- 36:17Speaker 2: was made he's made of a different material. He's like
- 36:20Speaker 2: Farv material. I don't know where you get that. I
- 36:22Speaker 2: think there's maybe uranus. Maybe you have to mine it there.
- 36:26Speaker 2: But that's what Russell Wilson was made of. But you know,
- 36:30Speaker 2: not everybody's Russell Wilson, not everybody's Brett Farv. And so
- 36:33Speaker 2: the idea was, you know, the idea of a small
- 36:36Speaker 2: quarterback you would have never considered taking in the first round,
- 36:39Speaker 2: much less first overall. And yet we because Russell Wilson
- 36:43Speaker 2: kind of tore down those walls. Without Russell Wilson, Kyler
- 36:46Speaker 2: Murray's never the number one overall pick. Kyler Murray's probably
- 36:49Speaker 2: playing baseball if not for Russell Wilson. And then Bryce
- 36:54Speaker 2: Young doesn't become the number one overall pick if Kyler
- 36:57Speaker 2: Murray wouldn't have done a little bit to show that
- 36:59Speaker 2: he belongs to the National Football League. But this year,
- 37:03Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, this past year was a terrible year
- 37:07Speaker 2: for the small quarterback, and it's gonna cause teams to
- 37:11Speaker 2: kind of rethink, Eh, maybe maybe we shouldn't do that,
- 37:14Speaker 2: Maybe we shouldn't make four foot eight inch, one one
- 37:18Speaker 2: hundred pound quarterbacks, the number one overall selection in the
- 37:21Speaker 2: draft again because little Switt and his little Apputians they
- 37:26Speaker 2: had a rough time this year. Yeah, he would not
- 37:31Speaker 2: a good year for him. I don't.
- 37:32Speaker 3: To me, it feels more like it's the I mean,
- 37:34Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if the ebb and flow of
- 37:38Speaker 3: what you want out of a quarterback goes more towards
- 37:42Speaker 3: If I have six to one half dozen the other
- 37:44Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the dude that's six' four versus the
- 37:46Speaker 3: guy that's say even six, foot let alone five.
- 37:49Speaker 2: To, two Like Kyler.
- 37:50Speaker 3: Murrays BUT i think to, him to, me it feels
- 37:54Speaker 3: way more about him than it does what his size.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Is it just seems like he AND i don't necessarily
- 38:00Speaker 3: trust a lot of stuff WHEN i just, hear, oh
- 38:03Speaker 3: he's playing video games or you, KNOW i saw him
- 38:06Speaker 3: On twitch or. Something but it just the way in
- 38:08Speaker 3: which he kind of walks, around the look on his
- 38:11Speaker 3: face gives off a little bit.
- 38:12Speaker 2: Of a, eh, Whatever YEAH i didn't play very. Good,
- 38:16Speaker 2: yeah well, whatever.
- 38:18Speaker 3: Like And i'm just, like that's not going to cut. It,
- 38:20Speaker 3: SO i, mean if there still is another quarterback that
- 38:23Speaker 3: somewhere along the line comes out and he's you, know
- 38:26Speaker 3: under six foot, tall but he doesn't have that kind
- 38:29Speaker 3: of effect that he gives. Off THEN i would be
- 38:32Speaker 3: willing to bet somebody still takes a shot on. Him
- 38:34Speaker 3: but you're, right this was not a good year if
- 38:35Speaker 3: you're an undersized quarterback for.
- 38:37Speaker 4: Sure, well and you know that there's the phrase tiny but, mighty,
- 38:40Speaker 4: right like you could still carry a lot of. Power
- 38:43Speaker 4: you don't have to be a big person to do.
- 38:45Speaker 4: It But Kyler murray's never given me the impression that
- 38:48Speaker 4: he is mighty in terms of the way he leads
- 38:52Speaker 4: or or. Anything and so THAT'S i, mean he seems
- 38:55Speaker 4: more tiny and, Poudy tiny and.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Poudy, yeah that's not going to make a. Shirt it's
- 39:01Speaker 2: not A. Greennion mighty, yes, Howdy not so. MUCH i
- 39:06Speaker 2: think THEY i think that over the course of this,
- 39:09Speaker 2: decade they've they've shown enough that you can't eliminate somebody,
- 39:13Speaker 2: just you, Know Demon william just because he's five foot.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Ten BUT i do believe that the walls are up
- 39:20Speaker 2: back up again in The National Football. League And i'm
- 39:23Speaker 2: not sure anybody you know Between Dylan gabriel struggling mightily this,
- 39:28Speaker 2: year And bryce Young stills doesn't seem to have it clicking,
- 39:32Speaker 2: yet even the skinny. ONES i, Mean Jayden daniels was
- 39:35Speaker 2: amazing his rookie year and got broken like a pretzel
- 39:38Speaker 2: this past. Season even that is something THAT i think
- 39:41Speaker 2: MAYBE nfl Teams antenna are back up. With but, Yeah
- 39:46Speaker 2: Kyler murray is. Out we no longer have to break
- 39:49Speaker 2: Down Kyler, murray THE Nfc west. Quarterback and that's all
