• 0:02
  Speaker 1: second spend a lot of time on the schedule, NFL schedule,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: does he do you? Guys the twelve So the people
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: that matter, we don't matter. We're just a bunch of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: talking heads. They tell us to speak in fill time
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: for three hours. That's that's what week do. That's what
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we do. It's really not doing much. We spend a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: lot of time on it. Greg spends every show for
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the last week on it. Softy and Fame spent like
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half on it the other day.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We all spend a lot of time. If you're a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Seahawk fan, are you waiting with baited breath to really
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: find out tomorrow what it looks like? We know who
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the opponents are. Do you really care that much? I'm
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just I am curious, And I said, I'm gonna spend
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: time on it here in a second, on one particular
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: aspect of it. But four nine and four or five one,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I do care? Yeah? I is it something you just
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: get jacked up about? The NFL's made it a damn
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a national holiday, right, so true, But then they leak
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: everything out beforehand.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Right, there's another one that just came out. There's a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Eve game?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Who was at hers? So stupid?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Those are like the one present you get to open
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: on Christmas Eve before Christmas.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: It's like the teaser.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Thanksgiving Eve game I got a problem with too. Yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I got a massive problem with that. That's a big
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: night for NBA and nhlah. Right, It's like, why do
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you need that?
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Wait? Did I just I said?
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: NBA? Yes?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Okay? Really, well, like, why are we stepping on everyone's toes? NFL?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Why do you need that day?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Because they want everything?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Why do we need three on Christmas?
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: God?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I know the Seahawks are destined for a Christmas game.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: They are they are you know. I just that's one
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: hundred percent going to happen, and which I'm torn on that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I listen to what Chris said. Now, this is a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: very selfish thing for us because we kind of do
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: we have to fill three hours. I just told you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: what our job is.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: Why we like this to be honest, we are human call.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But we have to do that. So like it's something
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: we got to pay attention to. You can't, like Chris
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Kid had a great point this, I love you. Christmas
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Day games are fine. You know, Thanksgiving great because you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: just kind of part of your melting into the couch
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: after you open or eat or do whatever you're going
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to do that day. I'd rather not have to worry
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: about it. We've we had a couple. We've had a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: couple over the years, Christmas Eves, one famously in Dallas,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the Earld Thomas Come get Me game, and then we've
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: had a couple other home over the years here in Seattle.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people that work the stadiums,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I think that's where it's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: kind of a joke, like it's the rest of us
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: are paid. Okay, okay being a keyword. Yeah, but like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: if that's most of the folks at work at T Mobile, Luminfield,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Climate Plagerine, a lot of them work all three buildings.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Like my buddy Fred upstairs does security in the press
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: box at the Climate Pledgerina. He also does it on
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: field at Seahawk Games and he's over Atlumen as well.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of those guys are men and women were
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that's that's their livelihood. Give them a bloody holiday off. Yeah. Anyway,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that said, the other thing, you guys know where I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: stand at International Games. I hate him, absolutely hate him,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: hate him with the passion. Think it's the dumbest thing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we deal again. I find this to be very disturbing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It's two days in a row. I agree with Softy.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He had a tweet out earlier says, I'm not concerned
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with growing the game. I'm concerned with winning another Lombardy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I I would, Yes, now mine's a little bit different,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but I would the first part of what he said
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent, Like I don't care about it. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: NFL is not trying to grow the game. The NFL
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is trying to grow its footprint. The NFL is trying
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to get more people. What did Shehan call it yesterday?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: The NFL It's like a television studio, is what it is.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: All the stadiums are television studios. They're not. It's the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: whole thing. Varell wrote the story in The Times today about,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe new owners because of the Wickersham story
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: last week, would want a new, a new stadium, a new,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a new you know stadium for the Seahawks to play.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Why would be my question? And I say why for
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this reason. It's because people say, well, we knew new
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Kiirina did not provide the adequate revenue streams that you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: needed for a professional sports franchise. The suites were outdated
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and small. They were not something that people wanted to have.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: A part of the club level never did work at
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Key Arena, and it was a revenue stream situation. Also
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: because of the way the building was built, it made
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: big concerts, big shows, things like that really challenging. You
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: could get one semi truck in at a time to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: load and unload, and just from a building standpoint, that's unacceptable,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: like absolutely unacceptable. It makes it really challenging. It's a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: nightmare logistically, and it get to the point where you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: concerts didn't want to come there, whether it be wrestling
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: or whatever. They didn't want to go there anything because
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it was just a massive challenge. The load in and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: load out was really hard. And then again, the revenue
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: streams didn't exist, and the fact that you could never
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: have anything besides basketball in there made it unnecessary evil.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: The Key Arena was outdated the second they opened it up.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: People said that from the nineteen ninety four on it
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was like this thing is not going to work, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it didn't. So I can see that. That's it's a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: different thing, lumen Field. You don't need a new building, Okay,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: like that's and they're doing that. Yeah, they and they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: have done that. They've done a lot of updates to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that building. They it's listen. Because of what we just
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: talked about. In the NBA, in the NHL and Major
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, you need revenue streams that are not just
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the ticket buyer. You need a club's level. You need
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you know, premium seating, you need signage opportunities, you need
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the ability to do whatever you want to do outside
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of the actual tenant of the game. I mean climate
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: pledge arena has I want to stay close to two
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: hundred plus dates a year. That are one of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: busier buildings in the country. It's been a massive The
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: building has been a massive success. T Mobile Park. You
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: have obviously eighty one baseball games, and they have high
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: school games, they have high school graduations there, they have
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: other shows there. All that stuff works. Lumenfield can do that,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But Lumenfeld is not a source of income primarily for
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the seahauction. You know what the Seahawks income is. It's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: from the television deals, the mega media rights packages that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL gives you. NFL teams are not worried about
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the bottom line ever, and that lumin field situation is
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: First of all, the stadium itself provides an unheard of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: home field advantage for the home.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Team, literally unheard of.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's it's I mean, we can debate all we want.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I'll go to my grave saying that I think it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: louder than whatever we're calling it in Kansas City, Arrowhead
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: these days, whatever the court. But yeah, it's I've been
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to both. I've been to both at its peak, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I can tell you if it's not louder, it's as
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: loud as I think the Super Dome honestly, when the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Saints or Humming is probably the one. Like, it's crazy
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: loud there. We've been there a few times and it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: crazy loud there. But all that said, it's outdoor stadium
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: with sixty percent of the seats covered for inclement weather,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: so you're fine there. And oh, by the way, the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: way Paul Allen had it built, just the reverse sound
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: reverberates off the top of the ceiling comes down, it's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: crazy loud. And that you know, the locker room facilities
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: are fine. Postgame facilities are fine. Club level. They've redone
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a bunch of times. It's fine.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't classify as state of the art, but
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: it's by no means outdated.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I listen, by no means of my an expert on
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: every NFL stadium, right, but I've been to all but Buffalo,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and Buffalo wouldn't matter now because it's gonna be gone.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I've been to every one of them, and like, I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: can see Jacksonville needing something. I can see Nissan Stadium
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and Tennessee needing something. I can see those places. I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: can see why, you know, the Hubert R. Jones Dome
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: whatever it was in Saint Louis, I could see. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: could see why they moved from there, almost in the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: move because it was LA, right. But no one's gonna
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: buy where you gonna build a six million dollar billion
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: sorry with a B, where you gonna build even if
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it's small, We're gonna build a four billion dollar building
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in this area for the NFL. That makes sense. You're
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: not so that stuff to say this area. And I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: kind of got off in tangent a little bit, but
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I did see that column to them, like, yeah, maybe
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: somebody wants a new one and maybe this someone's got
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: stupid money. They they come in and say let's do it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Seems odd to me.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: That they are not publicly funded.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's on well, I don't think it would be like
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you'd have to There's there's no chance there. Listen, this
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: isn't a case of we need to publicly we're gonna
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: hold the city in the state, in the county hostage
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: because we need something funded because otherwise our Super Bowl
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: champion team's gonna leave. That's that's not gonna happen.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: About the Buffalo situation, Buffalo, the Buffalo News Stadium and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: how much public funding isn't it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But they had they needed one. Yeah, Like that thing
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: was a from my understanding of again, one of the two,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the ones, the only one I need to go to.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It just didn't. It was not up to snuff, right right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Loom is fine. Looman's absolutely fine. But the NFL go
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: back to the European games. It's growing the game. You're
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: not growing the game, just growing your footprint. You're trying
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to get more money and you're doing games overseas and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you know, like we'll talk to lend about this at too.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Like he tells the stories going over there. You know
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I did laugh because Greg was and disagree with Greg.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Greg goes god, Bengals, Falcons, poor Spain. Why does Madrid
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: get that? Well, who cares, doesn't matter.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: The stadium will pack out, It'll pack out anywhere NFL state, right,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you could you?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's the worst matchup you? Here's here's what's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the worst matchup of the that's.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Bengals Jaguars was my worst one on my.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You have but Texans are a super Bowl contender and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Jags were playoff team last year.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I just don't like it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Well because part of it is Jess. I'll be honest,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I can see what you're saying because we all have
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to get past the fact that Jacksonville is better now
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: good and the Texans are feeling like they're the most
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: irrelevant team in the NFL. And yeah they're good. Yeah right,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: so and if they had as if they had a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: running back last year, they might have they might have
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: been they might have been the team sattles on the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl they had a running back.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, the anti Jets and Giants who are
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: always relevant but suck all the time.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, Rams forty nine Ers Australia. Great game, Ravens,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Brazil. On paper from the against the Cowboys, the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: brand of the Cowboys is great. Colts Commanders. That's kind
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of a nothing burger for London.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Commanders suck and the Colts. Yeah, it's because we
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: don't want to play our fourth overall pick.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I mean they're not good. That's not that's probably the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: worst matchup.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so too.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Eagles Jags. Okay, two playoff teams, Texas Jags, two playoff teams,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Steelers Saints. That's not very good unless Aaron Rodgers is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: playing and then he can sell that. That's in France. Yeah, Bengals, Falcons, Spain.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: We talked about that. Patriots Lions. Good matchup, Germany, really
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: good matchup. Vikings forty nine ers, I mean forty nine ers,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: good football team. So, and that's in Mexico. Forty nine ers, California.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. I get all that. I'm just not
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: about growing the game. I don't care about growing the game,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and not just because I'm concerned about Seattle winning another Lombardi.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it matters, and I don't think
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you should be taking home games away ever from local fans, right,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I just and especially places that do support it. Seattle
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: at the top of the list. You could take forty
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: nine or games away. They don't support it. Is a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: great down there sometimes. Ever since they moved from Candlestick,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that's while that whole thing's changed. The Chargers should be
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the one losing home games because the Chargers don't have
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: any fans at home. The Raiders would be number two
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on that list because they play every game as a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: neutral site game too.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Are the Patriots on there?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say that there would have been some
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: sort of crossover if the two teams that were on
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: hard knocks weren't on the international games, Like, hey, you
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: won't you won't get the international games, but we'll give
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: you hard knocks.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Well, And I think maybe that's part of it too,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is I think I think with Seattle, I'm sure there
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was there had to be some give and take. Well
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you're not going to go international, that's fine, but but
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do hard knocks, and that's probably taking the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: hard knocks too. I don't think that we'll ever hear
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: like official conference. I'm just that's a guess. It is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: it's just the conversation. But if you're looking at kind
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of connecting the dots and what makes sense the fact
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that you're not going international and e've only then twice,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: but you are doing hard knocks coming off a Super
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Bowl title. That does tell you there was a compromise,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't you know? Would would you rather deal with these
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: guys running around or would you rather fly, you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: across the country and then across the water. And that's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: because that's it takes a lot. Yeah, I mean I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: feel bad for ek and the equipment guys. I mean
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that's just a that's just a Niners have two of them, right, Yeah,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Niners Mexico probably won't be that bad. The Niners in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Australia would be hard the forty nine ers in Mexico.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: That's that's a road game. I mean, it's actually probably
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a far shorter trip for them than it would be
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: going across the country. Yeah, so for them, it's fine.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so after you're right, buddy, we don't we
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: don't need to grow the game. Let's just do it
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: here all the way you go. Uh, And the International
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Games are coming out as far as the rest of
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the schedules, concern four nine four five one. I I'm
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: assuming if we don't see Christmas, will seek Thanksgiving. It's
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be one of the two. And we know one
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of the Thanksgiving games is already, right, Which do you prefer?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have Thanksgiving? Yeah, I think so too Christmas.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It depends on the time, you know.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: But it's been a few years. Is the Hawks had
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: a Thanksgiving game? Was it those?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The last one? The one they ate on they legs? Yeah? No, no, no, no.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: No, they didn't have one after that. The Cowboys, I want.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: To say they they played down there. Yeah, that's what
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I thought. I feel like I've missed Thanksgiving a handful
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of times. Yeah games for when was the last here,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: there's a thing called google.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, let's get some interaction ian.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: First they played, okay, first Thanksgiving game, nineteen eighty Cowboys.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: They lost fifty one to seven. That was nineteen eighty.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Last, Oh I should know this last time they played Thanksgiving? Yeah,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: November twenty twenty three against the forty nine ers.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, Oh right, because we were talking about the
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: potential rehash of the turkey leg thing.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks played the Cowboys three times on Thanksgiving, which
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: is mostly played. They're one and two in those games.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So yeah they Oh they they played Thanksgiving last year?
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: No?
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: No, no, no think so why did I think that?
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that's what it is.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I was at your house on Thanksgiving.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: We did not watch that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I was like, where's my point of reference?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, it was. Yeah. So they're two and three.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, because the forty nine ers game, I want
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to say they played. They've played the forty nine ers twice.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: They played them down there on Thanksgiving because I remember
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: what we had we fighting a place to eat the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: night before was night This is your twenty twenty three
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you're talking about. This is no, this is like the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: first year when they opened up Levi. That's the one
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that was the one you're talking about. That was a turcula. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that wasula. Yeah that was crazy.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Was that the year after the Super Bowl? A couple
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: of years, it was a year or two. It was
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: like Niners sucked like that years. Yeah, it was like
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: twenty fifteen, fifteen or sixteen.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was in there because it was it was
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: right when they whenever they opened up. It was the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: first year of Levi stadium. Yeah, because I remember we're
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: out there doing stuff on like Thanksgiving Eve and doing
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: stories and it's like nobody's around. Is there a place
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: open to eat? Like things like that. Yeah, the important things.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: But but it was but yeah, that was That was
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: when they had the Reducan on the field and those
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: guys Sherman, those guys played it out. That was glorious.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: That was fine.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I was always on an Apple Cup duty, so I
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: was usually having friendsgiving, yeah, or here we'd have people
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: come out, like my crew would be coming out here too,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: So even if I didn't have to travel, we still
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: had friends giving together everything.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Now, lucky you you get the opportunity to have Apple
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Cup on the first week of the year.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I get my Thanksgiving backs.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: You do get your thanks gring back as well. All right,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: So do you care about the actual schedule and what
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and what what do you want to see happened? Four nine,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: four or five one. I know a lot of people.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Greg brought this up earlier. A lot of people are
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: looking and I get this, A lot of people are
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: looking at Vegas and like when the Vegas Game is
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: because it's in Vegas, people.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Want to go to Vegas. You're going to travel for
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: one game of a year.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the same with Kooks band. So like
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I always look at it's like, oh, San Diego, that's
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the game that a ton of people are going.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: To go to this Yeah, yeah, I mean La I
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: don't think is a destination for Seahawks fans. You play
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that every year and Sofi is not even in La.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It's in Englewood.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: It's out in the middle of the cool stadium, really
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: cool stadium.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I tell people all the time. I think, if you're
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: going to go to a game underrated, top of the list,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you gotta go to Lambo. Oh god, I love I think.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I think for me number two to go to a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: game after Lambeau would be Jerry's world. I think it's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: just a wild cool stadium. Yeah, I think it's awesome,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and I think so Far is worth going and looking
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and checking out. It's just such an amazing structure.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: It's it's so unbelievable, like from the outside and then
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the inside it's built down.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like CPA, yes exactly. Walk in and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you're like, how does this work? Like I'm walking in
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Oh wait a second, I'm on the three hundred level
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and I walk into a football stadium. It's crazy.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: It is exactly like CPA, just a gigantic.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: That it's fun. The rams are better now. If you
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: go to a game there and it's a Chargers game,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: pretty good chance it's a neutral site or home game
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: like so that's good. So but yeah, I mean that Vegas.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I get people want to go to Vegas. It's an
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: excuse to go to Vegas. Yeah, go to the game,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and I want to see that studio and the Raiders suck.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Also you get a win.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Rana Mendoza, let's go.
• 17:18

  Speaker 1: It's Championship week, major week in the golf world, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that means we check in with my guy, Bobby Casper,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Real Golf Radio co host with his buddy Brian Taylor.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Been doing so for two plus decades now. You can
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: hear it on the iHeartRadio app as well. Hello, sir,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: how are.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: You Ian Well?
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: How you doing, buddy?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. You're ready for some major golf
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: this week in the PGA Championship.
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: Sir, Oh yeah, oh yeah, And I'm ready to see
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: how they tackle this golf course. So it should be
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: a fun week.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: The I'm just we're just talking about this in the last segment.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So they moved the PGA Championship from August to this
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: date in May back in twenty nineteen. I know there
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: was a conversation yesterday at one of the press conferences
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: about maybe they would move it back to August. What
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: do you hear from players? Do they like having the major,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the PGA Championship here in May or would they rather
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: have it later in the year.
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: You know, there's a couple of different thoughts on it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: Ian first of it was moved because of the Olympics
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: and golf becoming part of the Olympics. So they moved
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: it to May so that it could be a part
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: of July when when they had the summer Olympics and
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: not condense everything too much when you're getting close to
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: the Tour Championship in the playoffs and that kind of thing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: So that's one of the reasons they moved it now.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: As far as players are concerned, some like it earlier
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: in the season. A lot of the elite players like
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: it later in the season in August because they feel
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: like there's too many signature events and too much jammed
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: in to that one month prior to the next major championship.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: Case in point, Rory McElroy said, I was always going
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: to take two or three weeks off and then play
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: at Charlotte before I went to the PGA Championship. He
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: missed two signature events, one at the or one at
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: Hilton Head and then also the one at Durrell. So
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: you know, all of them, their schedules are different. They
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: decide where they want to play and where they don't
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: want to play, but they would like to have maybe
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: a little bit more room in between the Masters and
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: the US Open.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Bobby Casper joining us, probably how much of the conversation
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: before we get to the tournament itself as we how
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: much of the conversation this week is on what appears
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to be the demise of live golf. We already saw
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Koepka come back to the tour this year. John Rahm's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: going to go back and play a handful events in
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the DP European Tour, trying to keep his Ryder Cup
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: stuff going, but kind of feels like he's aiming that
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: way as well. D Schambeau the outlier, he's just going
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to play YouTube at golf or whatever. But how much
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of the conversation, Yeah, so he says, how much how
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: much of the conversation is what's going on and live
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and maybe the demise of the rival the rival tour.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: Rory McElroy in his press conference yesterday said that He's
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: got a really good friend that caddies out on live
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: for one of the players out there, and as these
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: things kind of started to unfold, he said to he
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: texted his friend, he said, are you hearing anything? He says,
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: Everything's normal as usual. So then now, you know, a
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago, we get this that the PITH
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: is now going to only add more money in till
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: the end of the year. So it's putting Live Golf
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: in the position of having to go out and find
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: billions of dollars to be able to keep this thing going.
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: In their expenses per month with their golf tournaments and
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: everything is one hundred million dollars. One hundred million dollars
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: per month. That's one point two billion a year. Okay,
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: So that's why the CEO said it's going to take
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: eight to ten years to start to see a profit
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: or for it to become profitable. Now they're having to
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: go out and create a whole new business plan, and
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: there's a lot of people around that they're pitching it
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: to that have said, hey, this is this is a
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: losing proposition and there's no way I'm going to invest
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: my or our funds money into this. Type of thing.
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: So yes, I think they're in my feeling, my personal opinion,
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: I think they're in death throws right now going into
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: the end of the year. Patrick Reid has already already
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: jumped back out also, and he's won two of the
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: first three events on the European Tour, so he'll be
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: on the PGA Tour next year, Brooks, as you said,
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: and you know, the guys that they're looking at are
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: John Rahm and Bryson de Chambeau. Bryson feels like he
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: has a little bit more leverage, but that leverage is
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: going away more and more because he says, well, I'll
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: just do YouTube golf and then and then play the majors. Well,
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: that is Maser's exemptions are going to run out at
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: some point, probably in about for years. He's going to
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: have to have more competition to be able to do something. Yeah.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It has one of the masters, right, and that's the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: one that gives you the lifetime exemption. Outside of that,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you better go, yeah, you better get going.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Along the way championship pretty too.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so he's got to go get that going.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it. The golf course. If
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I saw this right, just for those of us who
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: love the game a little different than what we've seen
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: some of these guys have to play, whether it be
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a signature event or some of the other majors. Par
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: seventy seventy three hundred yards that's by now for me
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Andrews out about you, that feels like it's daunting, yes,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: but for them that's not the case. How different is
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: this golf course? What challenges does it have?
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: Well, it only has two par fives, of course, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: part five's are statistically by these guys kind of makeup shots.
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: The greens are really big and they have a lot
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: of undulation in them, very similar to what you would
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: see it at Custon National. So they're going to be
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: petting across ridgets and all kinds of interesting things trying
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: to get their balls close to the whole. That promotes
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: a couple of things off the tee. First of all,
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: guys will have an opportunity to pick clubs to get
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: themselves into position off the tee to be able to
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: hit it on the greens. Then those second shots are
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: going to be need to be a little bit on
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: the shorter side so that they can take advantage of
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: some of the little pockets and areas that are tucked
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: away that they're going to put the flags in. Now,
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: Rory said, I'm just going to bash it down there
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: and hit and do what needs to be done with
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: my second shot. Other guys don't have that luxury. But
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: this golf course is really going to bode well for
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: the long hitters like Rory and Bryson and Am Young
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: and Scottie Scheffler and those guys that can consistently carry
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: the ball over three hundred yards.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffer trying to go back to back right hasn't
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: been the same Scottie Scheffler at times that we've seen
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: over the years. This year, had a set, a second
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: baby and all that. Do you think he's running into
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: form and how does this course fit up for him?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: I think he's running in form, and I think the
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: thing that bodes well for him is the second shots
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: into the greens. He's gonna He's got ted Scott on
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: the bag and there they have done all of their
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: homework to get themselves into a position to be able
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: to contend in this major. He shows up, he's ready
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: to play, and that's why he took last week off.
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: He played at Ralph finished second to Cam Young. He
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: has had three second place finishes the last three events
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: he's played, and that hasn't been done since twenty fourteen.
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: So I think he's fully aware and ready. He's won
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: already once this week. His worst finish on tour this
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: year is a tied for twenty fourth, and I think
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: he will be right in the mix. Rory of course
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: will be there, Cam Young will be there, Matthew Fitzpatrick
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: will be there, JJ Spawn, on and on and on.
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: These guys that hit a lot of ways really have
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: a good chance.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Give me a couple other names. Well, we're sponsored by
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: our show, bought to you by so call me Casino,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Hotel and Sportsbook. So if if maybe somebody else is
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: out there, Kopka is is he It feels like he's
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: not back to where he needs to be. Guys like Marikawa, Kopka, Fleetwood,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that type of player. I mean, listen, Jordan SP's trying
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to get the career Grand Slam, right, all those those
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: guys all kind of come into play. Give me a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: couple other names that that maybe would be the guys
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you're going to keep an eye on that could kind
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of find their way into those final groupings on Sunday.
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: Well, I think Fleetwood would be a good one. He's
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: just a great tactician on the golf course and a
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: great ball striker. I don't know that he hits it
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: consistently over three hundred yards, but his second shots into
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: the green will, even though coming into the greens a
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: little further back there, they're going to be spot on. Kepka,
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: you can always count on him in a PGA Championship.
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: He's got three of them, and he played well last
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: week and the opposite field event had a third round
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: what was it a sixty four or something like that,
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: and he said, that's the funds he's have playing the
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: game of golf in quite a long time. So I
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: think he would be a great one. Also. Colin Morricala,
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: you know, he's been hurt all year long with with
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: some back stuff. You know, hopefully he will be able
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: to feel better and be able to get get in
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: the mix this next week. You know another guy that
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: kind of is flying under the radar. He's won already
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: twice this year. He faced Rory McElroy last year in
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: the Scottish Open and beat him and then went on
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: to finish fourth the next week, and that's Chris godder Up.
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: You got to watch out for him because he bombs
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: it as well.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: So perfect. Well, there we go. You got you know
• 28:57

• 31:30
  Speaker 1: entered your entries for the Golf contest Our Major Challenge
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: by Gamble Sands the NW Golf County. Okay. So we
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: were talking about that. I actually had to do a
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: little research here in the Brace because I just were
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: flying off the research. This is not what we're known for.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: It's not don't set a precedent.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: This is not what we're known for.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Our business, not our practice.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, so all time Seahawk games played on Thanksgiving, Andrews,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: you were right, it was coming off the Super Bowl win.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: That November twenty seven, twenty fourteen game they beat the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: forty nine Ers nineteen to three. That was the first
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: game the Seahawks played, not the first game, but the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: first game the Seahawks played in Levi Stadium. And they
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: went in there, kicked their ass and then ate their food.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: That's what they did. It was fun, good times. Then
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the one I forgot of and I always forget this
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: two years ago, three years ago, I guess now, But
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: two and a half years ago they played November twenty
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's final season November twenty third, Thanksgiving against the
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They got boat raced thirty one to thirteen.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Remember that game, Yeah, that was kind of but yeah, well,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and I think the significance of that game is that's
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: when it really.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Was.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't the beginning of the end, it was
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the middle of the end for that previous regime. Yes,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: because that was a team that started out four and
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: two on the season. Then they were five and one,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: two three four or five, six and three. They were
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: six and three after a win November twelfth at home
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: against the Commanders, barely but they beat them twenty nine
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to twenty six. That was the Sam Howell is his name? Yep,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: god Lord game and there that's a playoff team, like
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: they're a playoff team, lose by one in LA. I
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: think that's when Myers missed a field goal seventeen sixteen.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And then they come home and get boat raced by
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the Niners on Thanksgiving and just let remember, and that
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: was also a game forty nine er fans literally this
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: was a big topic of conversation the next week, took
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: over the stadium. That was one of the two games
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: that it was all opposing fans that year. The other
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: one was the final home game when they lost to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh thirty to twenty three. You remember that one, and
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: it was all but that game on Thanksgiving. I don't
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: know where the hell all these morons came from, but
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: they are forty nine er fans infiltrated the stadium, beat
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the wheels off, he just beat the brakes off the Seahawks,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and then the Seahawks in the middle, so that they
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: ended up losing four straight games, and it was it
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, something's wrong here, like something is really
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: really wrong with this football team. And uh, and then
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: of course what happened, even though they won the final
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: game of the year by twenty one twenty with the Cardinals,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: they were by then it was over, the die was cast,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Pete was out, and in the end they end up
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: getting Mike McDonald out of it. But yeah, that was
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: That was the other Thanksgiving game that we were trying
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to figure out. And I just remembered it because I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: was there, and I remember just thinking, this is miserable.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Can I think of a worse way to spend Thanksgiving? No,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the answer would have been no, your team getting boat race,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: having to deal with that afterwards.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Good times all the way.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: And that was, by the way, a LA game is
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: a five to twenty game here, so yeah, it was.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: It was a late game that night. So yeah, they're
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: going to get a Thanksgiving game or they're going to
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: get a Christmas Day game. For sure. The Seahawks are
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: They have played on Christmas Eve a few times, but
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's they've never played on Christmas, So Christmas
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Day or Thanksgiving. God, I hope they don't get both.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: How about with that? But what we think if they
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: got bad? Has anyone played both?
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Dallas probably has. That'd be kind of rude,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: but probably not the same venue like one would be
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: home one.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: One way, Yeah, but still wouldn't they try to.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I think sports people that are not the people that
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: are working the stadiums, but I think like the internal,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: like the football operations guys. I say this with the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: hockey people all the time. Hockey people are the most
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: blindly naive. Live in a bubble, live in a cave,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: have no idea. They have no idea there's things go
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: on outside of the world of the National Hockey League
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it they don't. And I think football is the same way.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I do, And I mean hockey is the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: best example. You watch. They'll have these games and somehow,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: some way, the crack will end up scheduling games on
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a day when the Seahawks are playing a Thursday night
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: game or a or a Monday night game at home. Right,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, why are we doing that? It happened
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: all the time last year because they just don't think of, Hey,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: let's counter schedule that. Let's tell the NHL that we
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: don't have that data available.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And I think football is even worse because football is
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the behemoth man. They just do whatever the hell want
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to do. They do it. Yeah, they're the first pick.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Whatever they do, whatever they do. Everyone else following shoot,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: but not everybody a year or two.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: So it's like we get.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the big think about this. I mean,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: they're just running the Mariners out of town in a sense.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Marriers have a game that Wednesday. The Marriers have a game.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's and I.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Think but they have flexed in the past.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Right, well, we had sometimes it's unavoidable, like the playoffs
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and last year, I'll say that playoff game last year. Now,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks lose to Tampa at home in a football
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: game at one, but then but then the Mayors played
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: a five. Yeah, I did the double dip. I did both.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I did both.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: And that that area was wild wild. It was awesome, awesome,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: it was so cool, and I mean all day. I'm
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: sure if I talk to my guys at the Occidental Hall,
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: they probably had one of their best days and ever
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: in the history.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, pre post and pre post.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, pre post, prest post Yeah, I mean,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: it was. It was insane down there. But the good
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: thing is the games weren't going head to head, right,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing you don't.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people I remember talking about
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: that last year about okay, like who's doing both?
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Who is?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: So I think I don't know if they've already done this. Yeah,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are playing the Rangers at Team Will on Wednesday,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: September ninth, and that's at one o'clock game. Yeah, you
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: know what, they've already moved it because it was supposed
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: to be a later game. Moved Yeah, because they updated
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: in my calendar automatically says one ten.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Now, interesting because.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Remember that was supposed to be games, so it was
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: it was not the it was not the getaway game
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: for the series because the getaway games the next day
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: is a Thursday, right, So they've already changed that. So
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are kind enough to change. Well, I mean
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: it just makes sense, just smart. How wild is that
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Ka day going to be down there? Because I mean
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: you're talking early September. Manner is going to be right
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: in the thick of it, leading the division hopefully. If
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: you're not leading the division, well we're having a lot
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of different conversations if they're not. If they're not leading
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the division or in a playoff spot. On September ninth
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Seahawks opening day. We're having a lot of different conversations,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: but that should be a fun day. We'll be down
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: to Jimmy's I'm sure on first all day and haveing time.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: We'll get all of our stations down there.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well we don't care about the rest of
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the people. Do we care about the other stations? Who does?
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Because I like I like people. I don't know I

  Speaker 7: closest snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: ninety three point three KJR FM.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't mention this, Seahawks just announce a moment ago
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: they have signed second round draft pick Bud Clark, the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: seventh of eight to sign their rookie contracts. The only
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: one left is Judarian Price, So Bud Clark has signed
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: as well. So everyone's officially in the fold except for Price,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't expect that to take much longer as well.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: So good signed there. Everyone's ready to rock and roll,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: coming up on some OTAs and some mini camps and
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: all that fun stuff over the next few weeks. So
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark in the fold and signed, ready to rock
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: and roll. So tonight taken on the Houston Astros Bryce
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Miller his season debut, and who would have thought that'd
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: be a soft landing.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: By the way, it's extremely soft.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Nine straight wins against the Astros. Yeah, they have, I
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: mean just dominated them lately. During the streak. Seattle's outscored
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Houston fifty nine to twenty six. They are thirty one
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: and fourteen over the last three years against Houston.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: And that since the playoff series.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Correct, correct, Yeah, yes, ever since they lost the play
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two playoffs, since twenty twenty three season thirty
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: one and fourteen against the Houston Astros against venge Vengeance. Yes,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: cheaters don't prosper, as it turns out. Nope, right sides
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: getting two titles, but no, besides the two titles, cheating
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't prosper. But yeah, so the runers getting going tonight,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: cal Rowley finally gets going. Oh, thank goodness. So cal
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Rawley gets going last night, ends up getting on base
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: three times at a walk in two singles, snapped the
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: O for thirty eight streak as well, which was good.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: It has been we all. We've been chronicling it, we've
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: been talking about it. It's just it's by the way,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: there was a great story. Where is this I gotta
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: find this is a terrific story MLB dot com Mike Petrello.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Have you heard of him? And Petriello? Yepkay stats animals
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: from MLB dot com. He wrote a great story on
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: MLB dot com today and it combined a couple things
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: that we had heard from both Joshian and Enosaras about
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: what the struggles are for cal Rawley. Both these guys
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: have talked about it. One of those struggles is it
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: was interesting because I thought that the hard hit rate
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: is really bad. It's bad, really bad. One of the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: things that Eno told us last week. And this is
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: what's interesting with Cal Like in a day and age
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: in which all this information, if it's in, if it's
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: at MLB dot com, you know that the Mariners have
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: at their fingertips and there were on it. It just
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: hasn't gotten He just hasn't worked it out yet. But
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: cal Rawley, one of the things he's been doing, and
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: as chronicled in this story, is what he is. What
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: he told us six days ago. He's hitting the ball
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: very late in the zone. Yes, guy that loves to
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: pull it and everything else, but that's getting out in
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: front of it right. Instead of getting out in front
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: of it, he's way behind. His bat speed is not
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: that much different, No, it's zero point four difference. So
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: it's basically effectively the same. But this is what Joe
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: told us yesterday, and then I see it today. Raleigh
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: is hitting it almost impossible. Sixty nine batting average, one
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: fifty six on base percentage one seventy two OPS on
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: pitches over ninety five miles an hour.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: Period, not even just in the zone, because Joe's saying
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: fastballs in the zone.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Yep, he is not able to catch up to velocity
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: It's just late. That tells you that's timing for me,
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: it's a timing thing for Cal Rawley.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Harold Reynolds broke down on the NBLB network. His stance
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: has changed. I mean, there's a lot of things broken
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: with Cal that maybe two singles fixes it. I kind
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: of doubt it. I think we're Yeah, maybe he gets
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: on a little bit of a heater and gets going again.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: But all these things that are wrong that you can
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: see or wrong have come to fruition. One thing, though
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: that baseball is great at would be superstitions and trying
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: to make sure things. You know, how do you fix
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: something well? I don't think, especially in today's climate. Diana
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Rusi and Mic Rable, I don't think slump busting is
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: the is the is the answer in the traditional sense
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: of the word. Now, Cal's not married, but I think
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: he has a girlfriend, right so, but I think they're gauge.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Actually they engaged now be yeah, so, but this is
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: probably not the time to pump up stuff like that.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just and maybe we've all kind of evolved past
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: that anyway. Yeah, but there's other ways to do it.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: So last two nights ago, at the request of or
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: insistence of Logan Gilbert, after the game, he shouted his
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: uniform clean everything off. I like it and maybe it worked.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Anything there is a precedent for something similar, is there not?
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Charles Barkley, this is during the ends. Reason
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: this is during the n C doua a tournament. Charles
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Barkley on CBS.
• 46:16
  Speaker 10: One of the things we take for granted is all
• 46:18
  Speaker 10: the people who work at arenas, especially in a situation
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: like this where you got multiple, multiple, multiple games, multiple
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: multiple multile practice. I mean, it's so much stuff that
• 46:28
  Speaker 10: goes into this, and you shout out to all the
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: trainers also to have and the guys who do all
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: the uniforms, to get these uniforms cleaned up and everything,
• 46:37
  Speaker 10: because I mean, I'm so old. We used to take
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: a shower in our uniforms because you know, because we
• 46:42
  Speaker 10: flew commercial my first three time, there's no era where
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: you get yesterday you're making this. There's no way that
• 46:50
  Speaker 10: you were supposed to watch it when I am making
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: this up.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not making this up.
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: I've never heard No one in the right mind is
• 46:58
  Speaker 10: never done that infinished. Please when I so, they give
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: you something. When I first got to the NBA, we
• 47:05
  Speaker 10: flew commercial. Yes exactly, I'm not disagreeing with So when
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: you were late the night before and flew the next morning,
• 47:12
  Speaker 10: when was you exactly gonna get your uniform cleaned? You
• 47:16
  Speaker 10: had to wash your uniform yourself. So after the game,
• 47:19
  Speaker 10: when you got to your room, you took a shower
• 47:21
  Speaker 10: in your uniform and dried and dropped on from the
• 47:23
  Speaker 10: commercial outline.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: The next four clamp it. That's why you have to
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: let him if you ever heard this in.
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: Your life, Well, how are y'all cleaning y'all uniform?
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: Y'all planning in universe?
• 47:37
  Speaker 10: No, somebody lost in the dry or when you're when
• 47:40
  Speaker 10: you're flying the next morning, you can clean your uniform
• 47:42
  Speaker 10: without showering in it? Well that is that is that
• 47:45
  Speaker 10: is possible after nationally clean it with without showering, and
• 47:49
  Speaker 10: you don't have to have it. Oh yeah, no no,
• 47:51
  Speaker 10: but it's easier to do it that way.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: You do it that way.
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: Let's let's say let's just say that that people people
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: have to count us as educational. Now you take it off,
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: it's just easy to clean. On that note, On that note,
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: let's get your.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah, it was in the n b
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: A too. Cal didn't do it to save the trainers
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: of the equipment staff. We're going to be there for
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: three more days. That he did it just to wash
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: out the stink of whatever is going on in terms
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: of his team but or his his hitting lately. But yeah,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Barkley is a guy that would totally would like I
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: don't doubt of what he says it.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is easier.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the thing is when you're gonna try it,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: like like you hang in the shower.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: He apparently didn't. He showered at the hotel after a game.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: He rode the bus.
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: But he took it.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming you took it with him.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: But what then he'd have to put back on if
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: he showered and changed and then got back into his
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: swuddy uniform.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Now he waited until he got to the hotel.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I like Cal's policy better. I think Cal. I think
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Cal's got it in.
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: Is It's funny how it came out because it was
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: apparently like you said, requested by Logan Gilbert. But the
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: way this story got out was Brian Wu told it
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: post game last night to the media. Yeah, and so
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: like the two pitchers are like kind of giving him
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: crap and like, hey, you need.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: To wash it. I mean it was. It was funny
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: because he was, you know during during that whole situation
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: last night. Uh, Like he gets he gets the base hit.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: You can see him kind of looking the dugout doing
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the thing. He's like, oh, kept him ball. They kept
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: the ball, tried to give it to him, You're like
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: waving give it to him.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: He kept it.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: He might not be one of his things that they
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: were saying on the broadcast. There's three giant hits that
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Cal's had in his career. The twenty twenty two breaking
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: of the drought, home run, the walk off, the the
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: number sixty last year was home run, and then that
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: single right there to break the op for thirty eight.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. So I think I think what I
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: liked about it best is the fact that he was
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: able to kind of laugh about it and he was
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: able to kind of kind of shut shrug it off
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: I think that was.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Big because super mentality because the pressure isn't.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Because you can see I mean, you know, baseball, Baseball's
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: got some guys with red ass and you can see
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: guys going, leave me alone, I just want to hit whatever. Yeah,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: he actually exactly, no doubt, man.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Just approach, approach. It's like a black bear. But that
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: but by the witness you admire and.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I think all that, I think all that is good though,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: because he was able to kind of look at himself
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: and kind of chuckle a little bit and laugh on it,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: laugh about it, and move on. And that's honestly what
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: needed to happen. Probably, Let's hope he gets on a
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: little bit eater here and and it just I've I
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: know people I saw the text line and some others
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: even on that that we posted something stuff on social media,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm very adamant about Hey, like they're going to
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. And look, if you look at
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: just how this season's gone. Your superstar catcher, runner up
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: for the MVP has been awful this year.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: Like one of the worst players in baseball.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: You're right, your defensive metrics and please do not come
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: at us with fielding percentage. Don't it your fielding metrics
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: are bottom five, bottom six in baseball across the board,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: you cannot field. Muno's seems to maybe getting beginning it back,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: but he's scuffled by his standards a few times as well.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: You've had your two high leverage setup guys on the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: injured list. You know, all these seas going on, your
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: game out of first place.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: And Luis Castillo's played awful.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: And Castillo doesn't have a win. You're two and six
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: in games that he's pitched, two and six, and you're
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: and your one game out of first place. This team
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: is going to be just fine. Yes, this team is
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: going to be just fine. And if this guy gets
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: going number twenty nine, look out, all right, we'll take
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: a break. Come back. Man, there's a lot going on
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: in college football. Are they going to expand to twenty
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: four or stay it's twelve or go to sixteen? In
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: terms of college football playoff and Oleski fans are probably
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: ansy to hear the answer to that. There's a lot
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: of news on that. There's news on the nil world
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: and so much more. Good time to catch up with
• 52:10

  Speaker 1: no off season in covering college football.
• 53:21
  Speaker 12: Is there no, And this week in particular has been
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: kind of NonStop.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: It's been it's been wild. I want to get this
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say out of the way, but
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I want to get this story there and then we'll
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: get to some of the other news that maybe is
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: more interesting in terms of the on field products and
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: things like that, but off field news. I've read the
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: story and then I read your mail bag story, and
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I'm still a little bit confused. Can you tell me,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: as I'm the village idiot here or our listeners, what
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: went on with nil Nebraska and players getting told no,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: they can't have those nil deals.
• 53:56
  Speaker 12: Ever since Jeff told me you wanted to do this yesterday,
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: I've been trying and trying in my head to figure
• 54:01
  Speaker 12: out how you distill that into like a one minute radio.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: You can go too, doesn't matter, Yeah, all right?
• 54:09
  Speaker 12: So the College Sports Commission is what the Power four
• 54:11
  Speaker 12: Conference is set up, coming out of the House Settlement
• 54:15
  Speaker 12: to basically act as a clearinghouse for all nil deals
• 54:19
  Speaker 12: that athletes get that aren't direct revenue sharing from the schools. Right, So,
• 54:26
  Speaker 12: what we come to know over the last few years
• 54:27
  Speaker 12: is collectives, Right, was the main the main thing they
• 54:32
  Speaker 12: had in their sites of like, well, this is going
• 54:34
  Speaker 12: to be the end of pay for play and guys
• 54:37
  Speaker 12: getting all this money to do nothing, And of course
• 54:39
  Speaker 12: that hasn't happened. Of course, the deals in the portal
• 54:44
  Speaker 12: cycle and football doubled from last year, and part of
• 54:47
  Speaker 12: that is these schools are just finding any way they
• 54:50
  Speaker 12: can't to go around that twenty point five million dollars
• 54:52
  Speaker 12: cap in Nebraska's case, And they're not the only ones
• 54:55
  Speaker 12: that did this, but they're the first ones to kind
• 54:57
  Speaker 12: of go to trial, if you will. All these athletic
• 55:01
  Speaker 12: departments have these multimedia companies they partner with. Lear Field's
• 55:04
  Speaker 12: a really popular one. This one is in this case
• 55:07
  Speaker 12: is Playfly. They basically said, hey, Playfly, I know you
• 55:10
  Speaker 12: were going to pay us, as a made up number,
• 55:12
  Speaker 12: fifteen million dollars this year for our sponsorships. Why don't
• 55:16
  Speaker 12: you take ten of that and just give it straight
• 55:19
  Speaker 12: to the players, right so we can add to our payroll.
• 55:24
  Speaker 12: And the CSC said, no, you can't take that. The
• 55:27
  Speaker 12: full report came out, they went to arbitration because these players,
• 55:30
  Speaker 12: these eighteen players, had seven twenty five million dollars worth
• 55:33
  Speaker 12: of deal denied by CSC. That's a lot of money.
• 55:37
  Speaker 12: And so in this process you can go to arbitration.
• 55:40
  Speaker 12: The arbitrator agreed with CSC that Playfly in this case
• 55:45
  Speaker 12: is basically recruiting on behalf of the school. It's not
• 55:49
  Speaker 12: doing this for legit business. It's basically buying these guys
• 55:52
  Speaker 12: nil rights and storing them away for later. And so
• 55:56
  Speaker 12: that makes them basically no different than a collective. So
• 55:59
  Speaker 12: why is that's significant? Because again, like schools everywhere are
• 56:03
  Speaker 12: doing this kind of stuff. I've heard of all kinds
• 56:05
  Speaker 12: of creative things, and I think naively they thought, well,
• 56:10
  Speaker 12: you know, if this isn't the same as a a
• 56:12
  Speaker 12: bunch of boosters, like this is a legit company. Yeah,
• 56:15
  Speaker 12: and they like, no, you can't do They're still doing
• 56:18
  Speaker 12: the same exact thing the collective is, which is helping
• 56:20
  Speaker 12: you buy recruits and retain your players. So now that
• 56:24
  Speaker 12: that has come in, that decision has been upheld, that
• 56:27
  Speaker 12: obviously has ramifications for other schools that might be doing
• 56:31
  Speaker 12: the same thing. Also, if you were somebody like me
• 56:34
  Speaker 12: who was skeptical that this CSC thing would even hold up,
• 56:37
  Speaker 12: like here was your first independent person saying no, actually
• 56:40
  Speaker 12: I agree with them there. They did the right thing.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: So do you think there's going to be more fall
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: out other schools going to have this come up.
• 56:51
  Speaker 12: Well, there's definitely other schools that were doing the exact
• 56:53
  Speaker 12: same thing, they just might not have had the players
• 56:55
  Speaker 12: taken to arbitration. Yet, I do think there's been enough.
• 56:58
  Speaker 12: I mean, this thing took about three months I think
• 56:59
  Speaker 12: to go through the system, and in that time, I
• 57:02
  Speaker 12: mean I think Nebraska, the head of the CSC himself
• 57:05
  Speaker 12: said they probably haven't just gone ahead and done different
• 57:09
  Speaker 12: deals for them that would pass through the system. The
• 57:11
  Speaker 12: big question is, and the reason Nebraska was the first
• 57:15
  Speaker 12: test case why they went forward is their own state
• 57:18
  Speaker 12: has a law that you cannot penalize college athletes for
• 57:21
  Speaker 12: taking an IL model, And so everybody's waiting to see
• 57:24
  Speaker 12: are they going to act on that now now that
• 57:26
  Speaker 12: the decision has been unfavorable. Are they going to try
• 57:30
  Speaker 12: to sue CFC on behalf of these athletes? And I
• 57:33
  Speaker 12: don't know if they're going through or not, but at
• 57:35
  Speaker 12: some point somebody, at some point, somebody is going to
• 57:38
  Speaker 12: see these guys says it's hurting their favorite football team,
• 57:41
  Speaker 12: and that's when we'll find out whether that thing can
• 57:43
  Speaker 12: stand up.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Suer Mandel joining us from the Athletic The Athletic dot
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: com college football writer. As we look at the off
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: season a little bit, one of the things that we
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: have seen today kind of creep up. Is it interesting?
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Jim Phillips, the ACC Commissioner, talking about the desire to
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: have a twenty four team college football playoff. Of course,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: we're just on the heels of finding out that the
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: NCAA basketball tournament, although nobody seemed to want it except
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: for depending on who you want to talk to, our
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: guy Gary Parrish from CBS, that it was a Sankey
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: and nobody else or that was kind of it. But
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: that expanded to seventy six twenty four team college football
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: playoff that the ACC is pushing for. It feels like
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: they might be. And Jim Phillips and the ACC are
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: on a little bit of an island here, or are
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: they with that twenty fourteen playoff? Thought?
• 58:35
  Speaker 12: Well, the twenty fourteen playoff game started with the Big
• 58:38
  Speaker 12: Ten last year.
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: This was there.
• 58:40
  Speaker 12: Once they got their original sixteen team proposal shotdown, they
• 58:44
  Speaker 12: went straight to twenty four and for a while there
• 58:47
  Speaker 12: they were on an island. But we have seen in
• 58:49
  Speaker 12: quick succession, the ACC, the Big twelve, Notre Dame all
• 58:54
  Speaker 12: go on the record saying yeah, we support that, we
• 58:57
  Speaker 12: want that too. So it's really the SEC Greg Sankee ESPN,
• 59:03
  Speaker 12: which is a significant part of this, who don't want it.
• 59:07
  Speaker 12: And I'm actually writing a column about this as we speak.
• 59:10
  Speaker 12: I don't want a seventy six in Sate tournament. Nobody does.
• 59:13
  Speaker 12: But at the end of the day, if you think
• 59:14
  Speaker 12: about it, like, what are the actual implicator our consequences
• 59:17
  Speaker 12: of that A few more mediocre teams to get in
• 59:21
  Speaker 12: and the bracket is a little plunkier to fill out.
• 59:23
  Speaker 12: I'm of the opinion and I think ninety percent of
• 59:25
  Speaker 12: the public is too, that if you do this in football,
• 59:27
  Speaker 12: you are going to destroy the regular season. Kyle shootball
• 59:30
  Speaker 12: has the best regular season in sports. Nobody can argue
• 59:33
  Speaker 12: that the stakes are really high.
• 59:35
  Speaker 9: Each week.
• 59:36
  Speaker 12: You might be able to lose one game and make
• 59:37
  Speaker 12: the playoff. You can't lose two if you're Notre Dame
• 59:40
  Speaker 12: last year or Miami the year before. If you look
• 59:45
  Speaker 12: at what a twenty four team field would have looked
• 59:47
  Speaker 12: like last year, eight and four Iowa would have been
• 59:50
  Speaker 12: in it, and there would have been other teams like
• 59:53
  Speaker 12: that right on the cusp. Certainly all the nine to
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: three Power conference teams get into it.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 12: That's not college football, that's the NFL. That's you know,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: the NBA playoffs, where I mean they literally sick guys
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 12: out of games in those sports because they don't they're
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 12: in or they're not in, and they're not worried about it.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 12: I think it would be just a I'll use the
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 12: word a catastrophe if this goes.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Through the Yeah, because if you're going to twenty four,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: then is a three team, three lost team ever made
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: it to the college football Playoff? I don't think so
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: in the current and the crew setup.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 12: Right not to this point. Now. The coaches of you know,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 12: link Iff And had a three lost team last year
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 12: and was furious that they didn't get in the Sarkisian
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 12: last year in a twelve team playoff. It's probably gonna
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 12: happen at some point because those teams have been close, right,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 12: But most of the time that's I mean, it's going
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 12: to happen pretty rarely. And again like even ten and
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 12: two that you know, even a ten and two Vanderbilt
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 12: team in the SEC last year got let doubt they
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 12: weren't particularly close to it. I don't think you heard
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 12: a lot of you know, people feeling sorry for them
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 12: so And that's the thing I don't, you know, Notre
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 12: Dame was obviously the big controversy last year, right, I
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 12: didn't hear a lot of people outside of Notre Dame
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: fans like, oh, they got job, you know, they were
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 12: so great, Like we're not. This isn't twenty twenty three
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 12: Florida Stake goes undefeated and doesn't make the playoff. Right
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 12: at this point, I think most people feel like twelves enough.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: I think so too, And I you know, listen, you
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: know you and I old enough to remember when it
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: was they just voted on a champion via the polls.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Husky fans are yelling and screaming steel about what happened
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: with b Yu years ago in nineteen eighty fourist or
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: whatever it was with Robbie Bosco and the and the
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Cougars getting it, getting that win and this win national
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: championship with Miami and all those things that didn't that
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't right. A two team playoff just felt like too little,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: right with just two teams and a fourteen playoff, too
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: little like a BCS and then the fourteen playoff. It
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: feels now like I think what you said. The regular
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: season matters, but there's also a little bit of leeway. Right,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: you can lose a game or two. Your season doesn't end.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: If you lose in September, you can still get going.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: It just it dilutes, it, does it not? It waters
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: it down so much. If all of a sudden you
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: have that team that's sneaking in there, what'd you say,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Iowa last year at eight and four would have got in.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: Iowa was eight and four and didn't really have any
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 12: big wins, but somebody would have to go twenty four teams.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 12: I think that obviously the stakes aren't quite as high
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 12: as they were in the VCS. I always think of
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 12: the kick six. Alabama was und feed going to that game,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 12: lose on that crazy play to Auburn, They're out. So
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: that wasn't always the case. Steven had some one loss
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 12: teams that made it to the DCS title game. I
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 12: didn't feel like we lost any of that in four teams.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 12: I thought we might lose some of that with twelve.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 12: But if you look at people are watching those games,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 12: I mean, people are watching those big games, and look,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 12: if they go to twenty four, I don't think it
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 12: means nobody's gonna watch the Ohio State Texas game. Like
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 12: there's there's certain games and some certain matchups that people
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 12: are always going to watch, But I don't know about
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: the other games. I mean, I mean, and maybe even
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 12: like the Ohio State Texas game, Like, basically Ohio State
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: is never going to miss the playoff ever. Again, you know,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 12: I don't even they don't even need to play the season.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: When does Ohio State ever finish outside of the top
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 12: twenty four? When does Georgia or Alabama ever finish outside
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: of the top twenty four. Now the footside of that
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: is we saw Indiana get in and basically redefine their
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 12: whole program, And so I mean it's not a secret
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 12: why coaches and ads want this thing. Oh my team
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 12: could get into and do that, right, or maybe if
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 12: my team it's in, I don't get fired as quickly,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 12: like it's all about south but nobody is looking out
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 12: for the good of the sport.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, dude, I think I just go back. Notre Dame
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: is a probably a good example. Last year, right, you lose
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: to Miami twenty seven to twenty four to open up
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: the season. Then you lose forty one forty in an
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: incredible game at home against Texas A and M. You're
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: zero to two and people were saying, well, they're out,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: they're done. Then they run the table. They went ten
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: straight and they're in the conversation again. But just miss
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: to me, there is a penalty. I mean, because it
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: probably came down to Miami and right, Miami and Notre Dame.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: Last season, Miami gets in and it gets all the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: way to the National Championship game at the expense of
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. You still have to win games in the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: regular season, like you said, you still have to do that.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, who owns the rights to
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of these games? It's ESPN. This also feels
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: like an ESPN versus Fox battle, right because some of
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: the conferences you've met, the Big Ten is a Fox conference,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: like they're basically run by Fox. The Big Ten is
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: we saw that with realignment, so yeah big so Fox
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: is like whatever, and ESPN's like, no, keep it at
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: twelve or maybe go to sixteen? Does sixteen field like
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: the compromise that's going to happen eventually?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 12: Well, that's Greg, thank you would sign off on it
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 12: tomorrow if they decided sixteen is enough. I think you
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 12: know last year, the reason that the Big ten sixteen
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 12: team proposal didn't get off the ground last year was
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: it was going to guarantee more bids. It's basically gonna
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 12: most of the bids were gonna be AQ bids, and
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: they were going to be four to the eight SEC
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 12: and Big Ten and only two to the eighteen seen
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 12: Big twelve. Nobody decides the Big Ten wanted that. But
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 12: if it's a wide open hey, whoever, the best twenty
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: four are regardless of conference. I'm sorry, the best sixteen, right.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 12: I think the SEC would would sign up for that tomorrow,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 12: and I don't know that it would feel that different.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 12: For one thing, you wouldn't be adding an extra round.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 12: I mean, one of the things that's that's mind boggling
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 12: about this to me is that the College Football Playoff
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 12: would now go more rounds than the NFL Playoffs. And
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 12: in order to fit that in, they would just get
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 12: rid of conference championship games. Yeah, we're going to get
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 12: rid of the one versus two Ohio State Indiana game
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 12: last year so that we can watch number sixteen play
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 12: number twenty four in a playing game to the sixteen
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: team practice.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's the trade off, which
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound all that enticing it does. I don't like
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: the buys necessarily though, like Texas Tech getting a buye
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: and then they get shut out in the set, and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: the buys haven't treated teams well right outside of Indiana.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Last year, it gets all the way through, but Georgia
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: loses after a buye. Ohio State loses after a buye.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: We know what happened the year before. Do you if
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: it goes to sixteen? Last year we had an unprecedented
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: in some ways, right, two teams from group of what
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: is it now, group of six, group of five, whatever
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: the conferences are, James Madison and Tulane both get in.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: If it went to sixteen, would we see two of
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: those teams in every year? Or do you think it
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: just benefits again the big.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 12: Boys, they've already they already responded to that. They immediately
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 12: changed their rule to the power four champs are guaranteed
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 12: of birth, so that those four and in one group
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 12: of six teams last year, a second one guy in
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 12: because Duke won the ACC. No, there's only going to
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 12: be one group of four team or group of six
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 12: teams who is going to benefit the middle of the
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 12: pack Big ten and SEC teams. Not that there won't
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 12: be other teams that get in from the Big twelve
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 12: and ACC but clearly the sport as it is now,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 12: you have two conferences that have separated themselves from the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 12: other two and are considered to play the tougher schedules. Remember,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 12: the SEC is going to a nine game conference schedule
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 12: this year, which they're uh which is I think part
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 12: of the reason why they wouldn't mind a bigger playoff
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 12: is because some of their and then two teams are
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 12: going to become nine to three teams.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 12: So again, like I said before, I mean, everybody's looking
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 12: out for themselves every you know, they all claim and
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 12: they can't afford to pay the players. So now if
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 12: you can get some Fox or somebody to pay for
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 12: some extra playoff games, make a little bit more money
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 12: that way. And I just think it's a mistake.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: Just know that Jim Phillips, these guys pushing for these
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: bigger playoffs, that's fine, But I think what you just
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: said is true. The Big ten and the SEC are
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: going to benefit. The ACC is not going to benefit,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: The Big twelve is not going to benefit. Certainly the
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: non Power five conference at four conferences aren't going to benefit.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be whatever ESPN probably wants when
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: it's all said and done, and maybe trending towards sixteen.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 12: The UESPN doesn't want this because they want to continue
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 12: to show the games exclusively or at the very least
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 12: maybe give up one or two. And you know, you
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 12: go to twenty four, you're adding what eleven more games
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 12: than you have? Now, did I do the mass right
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 12: on that? They're not going to get all those games.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 12: Some of them are going to go to Fox, maybe NBC, CBS.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 12: So also, if I'm ESPN not loving that you're going
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 12: to take the SEC Championship away like I might be like, well,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 12: then what am I paying all this money to the
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 12: SEC for.

  Speaker 12: Absolutely, I hope but I got to say, you know,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 12: I'm also I'm also covering softball for US and.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: The whoa hey, hey, all right, all right, well he's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: and I didn't even get into the fact that you
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: got a C or SEC schools dropping, you know, non
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: revenue sports, so, uh, softball should be fun. We were
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: big softball out here with the UW and all that.

• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: calls answer the phone, so we'll talk to you again
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: before we get to September, my friend. Thanks Stewart. All right,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: thanks sir Mendel joining us here from the athletic great stuff.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: Audible is a great podcast, and of course what they
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: wrote on the on the website's fun too. I don't know, man,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: I the just opening it up and everyone gets a
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: ribbon sixteen. I'm all for sixteen. You give me sixteen.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: I'm fine.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: It just seems balanced, like sixteen's balance.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: You could make an argument even though it's probably not
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: a great one that sixteen teams have a shot to
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: win the national.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: Champions Well, and it eliminates the buys, yes, and you
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: know you get another on campus game.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: So like last year, Texas Tech would have played somebody,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: Indiana would have played somebody, Georgia would have played somebody
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: in Ohio State would have played somebody. It's a true
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: because those yeah, those four teams all got first round buys,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: and three of those four teams then lost in the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: next round. Like there's something to be said about, you know, momentum.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Now there's fatigue and all those and I believe if
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, let me just check this real fast,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: because this is the second year we just had that
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: twelve team to playoff. Arizona State by lost in the
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: in the second round, Oregon by lost in the second round,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Boise State by lost in the second round. Georgia. So
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: I want to say there was one team that Georgia
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: that won. Yeah, Georgia. So in the two years we've
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: had the twelve team playoff.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: One team, we are two, right, I think I think
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: they were over at two years ago.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: No, last year, Georgia two years ago Georgia one in
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: Ohio State won. Last year no Ohio State lost, So
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: it's one and one in five. Yeah, I don't know,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: one in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: one and seven teams with buyser one and seven.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you eliminate that altogether, everyone kind of
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say even playing fields.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 5: You still have home games, but yeah, I.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: Listen, I understand, I understand, and then we all understand
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: what ESPN paid for in terms of like the SEC
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: championship game and stuff like that. Conference championship games are worthless.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: They just they're just at this point, and even last
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: year it was a seating game. Is a seating game
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: in the Big Ten? Right?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: It was a seating game. Yeah, that's that's what happened. Uh,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: Georgia in essence, I guess it wasn't a seating game.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: They got in and Alabama didn't, but Georgia was probably
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: gonna get in anyway. So you can get rid of.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: The conference championship games.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: I think that to some of the awful conference championship
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: games we had in the pack before it went away.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: But they used to be.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Because when it was North and South when it was
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: North and South. I like it felt like for many years,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: like the South had like the worst team U c
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: l A gets a conference championship game and they're six
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: and six. You know, like what.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: Utah wasn't amazing when Utah was awful.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Colorado had one where they snuck in somehow because
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: it's pretty dionn and they got I think Washington boat
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: raced them, didn't let him score. Yeah, so it's yeah, no,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: we don't need those conference championship games, all right, but
• 1:13:29

• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: you never want weather? What a buy the Weather Channel.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 6: I felt the same way about traffic, Like they'd say,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 6: they say, you got to do wiver on your sports updates,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: you gotta have weather in traffic, and I'd be like,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: no one cares about weather, and no one cares about
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 6: traffic because if they wanted that, they'd go to the
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: news station. Like I just I didn't find that to
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: be important.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: The traffic traffic under two fifteen slow right now around
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: the West Valley East Center outside of that pretty good.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 6: Same thing. Yeah, god yeah, I said the same thing
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: every day, and the same thing in San Francisco, they'd
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: make us do do traffic, Like what's traffic? It's like
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: it's traffic. Key back to you, Bob, But saff Francisco
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 6: Man track would home from forty nine er games at midnight,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 6: and it would be I'd be bumper to bumper at midnight,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 6: Like I got news for it. It's gonna be traffic
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 6: heat and there's bridges all over the place, so there's
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 6: nowhere for you to go. There is no alternative route
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 6: back to you.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: Like good listening thing you're listing, well, nothing screams information
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: like a John lenn broadcast. That's for damn Well. See
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: now you're doing the Westwood One. You don't have to
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: worry about that stuff because you're doing national radio. You're
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: a big national guy now, so that's right. I don't
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: have to worry about that kind of stuff. Yeah, big money,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers get two, not one, but two International Games. Wow,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: who'd you guys piss off?
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah? You know. And the whole thing they're mad about
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 6: is the Rams chose the forty nine ers because when
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: the forty nine ers go down to the Rams, all
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 6: forty nine ers just like the Seahawks. Just like the Seahawks,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: they dominate. So they thought to themselves, well, we'll lose
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: that home game because that's a road game for us anyway,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 6: and so that's why they did that. And the forty
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: nine ers actually got mad. And you know what the
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 6: forty nine ers tried to do. They because they have
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: an amazing footprint in Mexico City, like the Niners are that,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 6: and so what they tried to do is they tried
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: to do it back to the Rams and say, hey,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: then we want the Rams in Mexico City in the NFL.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Like, no, we're not doing that.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: So wow. But yeah, so the Rams actually picked the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: Niners and to lose that home game because they knew
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: that that was basically a road game for them, so
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 6: if they were going to lose the game, they did
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: that for competitive purposes. And then the Niners tried it
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: back at them and they're like, uh no, we're not
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 6: doing that.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: So so that continues. So that is a Rams home game,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: that first one in Australia. Yeah, what's the Rams home game?
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: And they picked the Niners. That just says a lot,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: does it not. I can't imagine any team wanting to
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: play a divisional rival that you know that you have
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: to win. If you're going to win the division, you like,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: those are the games you have to win, and not
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: wanting to play it in your own building like that
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: just says, Wow, that's that's insane.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 6: Well, and you and I talked about this all the time.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, they can do that whole dumb Rams House
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 6: thing and have the girl with the guitar and if
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 6: people haven't been down there, it's obviously there's a you've
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 6: been to all the stadiums and it's honestly the dumbest
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 6: thing ever in that whole bit that they do Rams
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 6: House like they do it during the draft. They call
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: it Rams House where they're drafting from and everything. It's
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 6: like they don't have any fans and the ones.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: That they do have.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 6: Are just because they're front running. Oh the Rams are good,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 6: let's jump on up on.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: Jump off, you know. Anyway, they're all wearing Lakers gear
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: when they show up a Dodgers gear to it to
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: a Rams game. No, it's it's that that's crazy.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we talked about just how forty nine
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: er fans do travel travel really well, we saw that
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: was kind of the big is maybe kind of the
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: beginning of the end in twenty twenty three when they
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: came to Seattle for that Thanksgiving game on November twenty third,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty three and Bolt Race Seattle thirty
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: one to thirteen. It was like a Rams home game
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: that day and it was like kind of became a
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: theme and next thing, you know, piece out at the
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: end of the year, vikings forty nine ers in Mexico,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: So that'll be Is that a home game for San
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: Francisco then that you guys gave up?
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so they lose that one, and I I think
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 6: it's you know, there's all these trades constantly going on.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: If you do this, then we'll do that for you.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: So I think that's part of They just got Super
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: Bowl sixty. Obviously the one that Seattle one.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 5: You might remember that we do very well.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: That was the trade off.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: The trade off was, Okay, we'll get you a super Bowl,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 6: but you you know, you've got to go abroad, which
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: most people, you know, more and more teams are gonna
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: have to do this. I mean they're they're obviously, as
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: you all know, and everybody knows, they're expanding this all out.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 6: So whether you want to go, whether you don't want
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 6: to go, is really immaterial, but they're you know, you're
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 6: trying to do from a business standpoint, leverage it. So
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: it's like, Okay, we lose a home game, but we
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: get a super Bowl. That's kind of a good trade off. Well,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 6: and that's what we were talking about that earlier with Seattle.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: Seattle is not going to get a doesn't have the
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: defending Super Bowl champions, do not have an international game
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: uh this year. And but they are opening on a
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: Wednesday as opposed to Thursday because of that Australia game
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: with the Rams and the forty nine ers. That's a
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: little bit if it's trade off, I think they just
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 6: told that's what's going to happen. But I would say
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: my uh, as far as that's concerned, John, I got
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: I think that Seattle probably cut a deal. I mean,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know if they'll ever say this, and maybe
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: I'm wrong, but dance with me on this. How does
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: this sound Listen? We don't want to travel, We travel
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 6: too much anyway. We played into February last season. We
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 6: don't want to do it.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: And they said, okay, that's cool, you're gonna play on Christmas,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: which we don't know yet. But it kind of feels
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna be You're gonna play on Christmas and
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: you're and you're gonna have deal deal with hard knocks.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Does that seem to make sense, that has a trade off.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's that's exactly what they do. And so yeah,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: they're gonna they're gonna leverage you somehow. And look, I
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: think it's a great deal for the Seahawks because you
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: are the champs and that's what they want, and so
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: they're gonna take those situations. I know a couple of
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: years ago, I don't know, might have led to my divorce.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 6: I can't remember which divorce I'm on right now. Anyway,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: my accountant takes care of that stuff.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: I think you're only one, and I think you're only
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: one in I.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 6: Hope I'm getting close to number two. I know she's
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 6: not listening, but it's not going good. That's my fault.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 6: But anyway, long I'm not easy to be around. I
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 6: don't know if you know that, but no.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: Idea stunned by that.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 6: But yeah, look, a couple of years ago, the Niners
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: played on I think it was Christmas Eve, New Year's Day,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 6: like they Thanksgiving, like they were pissed and they played
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 6: in all of them, and so you know, it can
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: be frustrating because the players don't get to be with
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 6: their families on any of those events. But I think
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 6: from a standpoint of a business standpoint, you know, that's
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: look the Seahawks right now, they're the biggest entity going
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 6: in the league. I get it that the Giants and
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: the this and the Cowboys and there's all these ones.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 6: But believe me, there's gonna be a lot of people
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 6: jumping on the bagwagon. And I think from a standpoint
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 6: of how the league looks at it from a non
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 6: international standpoint is you want to put the champs on
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: as much as you can. And between what you guys
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 6: already know, which is it's a great home atmosphere, it's entertaining,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: even though you know people out to defense whatever, they
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 6: play an.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: Entertaining brand of ball, and they're the Champs.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 6: And so if you're not going to go international, like
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 6: you said, then you're going to have to be on
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 6: the market events and we've got to be able to
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: sell you.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: I thought John Lone joining us, one of our guy
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: on before me, Greg Bell was the Sea beat Rin
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: for the News Tribune was talking yesterday.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 5: He was so good.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a good dude.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: He says, so good, because I can't believe Spain that's
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 5: still after you is really good too.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: No, it's it really isn't he says.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: He says Bengals Falcon Spain Madrid, Like that's brutal. They
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: get that game. And I said, well, it doesn't really matter.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: You've talked about this, doesn't matter what the game is
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: right overseas you've been there. They're wearing jerseys from all
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: all thirty two teams. They don't care.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's one of the weirdest things I've
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: ever seen. And like I said, we pulled up the
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: Wembley Stadium the first year I went there, and it
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: was the weirdest thing because it was it was and
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: they're all throwbacks and everything, and it's just kind of
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: a niche thing. And I wouldn't even call it soccer.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 6: It's not you know, people would think, well, maybe it's
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 6: a put on a soccer and it's just not. It's
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: just there's a niche and they're trying to grow it
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 6: and they've tried to grow it in London forever. And
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: I know Jacksonville's got a couple like back to back
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 6: weeks and they're going to these different countries. I get
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 6: what they're doing, but the misconception, I think with what
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: the NFL tries to sell you. And I told you
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 6: this too when I went into a Nike store and
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 6: I literally interviewed people in there, and they were they
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 6: had every jersey you could possibly have, and not only
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 6: the new ones but the throwbacks, and people were buying them.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: Left and right.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 6: And I said, do you know what you're buying? Do
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 6: you like? Do you know who what player that is?
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 6: Do you know what? I think? It was like Andrew
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 6: Luck was you know, somebody had a Luck jersey or
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: something was back in those days, and they didn't even know,
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 6: but they just knew that it was a cool event,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 6: it was coming to town. A lot of them weren't going.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: But a lot of the people that I in a
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 6: big Nike store right in the middle of London with
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: the jerseys right there and they were promoting the whole thing,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 6: they didn't know who was playing that weekend. They couldn't name,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 6: you know. I was like, can you name three NFL players?
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: They couldn't do that. We broadcast from what is the
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 6: equivalent of ESPN over there in London. It's called Talk Sport,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 6: and we were in their studios and I was explaining
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 6: football to him, and those guys were making fun of me,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 6: like that's fall too complicated, you know. They were just
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 6: they were like, that's preposterous. Yeah, their football, I mean,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 6: they're just yeah, they were just like what you call
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 6: a play and then you get tackled and you go
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 6: back into a huddle. They're like, this is so stupid. Yeah,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 6: they're just they were just they could not grasp it.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 6: And they're like, look, we're just never gonna do that.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: We kick a ball that goes into a goal, we
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 6: drink a bunch. You know, that's like very simplistic game.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 6: We're not going to go that's far too complicated what
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: you're doing and calling plays and this and that and
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 6: time outs and you know, I'm trying to explain to
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 6: them the basics and you know.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Punt returns and extra points.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 6: And there's like this that's stupid, Like you your game
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 6: is stupid.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: The rugby players I worked with refused to call the
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: uprights the uprights because I.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: Did TV with them.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: They called it the h which is an h but
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: they called it a h and I'm like, no, dude,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: and why is that all different? I'm like, rugby is
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: different too, but then soccer You're like, that's one and
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: maybe you're lucky if you get one.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: The whole game.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: Well, soccer is a very simple game. And I'm not
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: saying that in derogatory fashion. It's a very simple game.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: It's it's beautiful, it's yeah, it's it's you know, very
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: simple to forget football for simple but I just, yeah,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: it isn What I'm wondering about that is this with
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: with this European stuff, because listening to what you say
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: and and and going through it in in our country,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: like people are passionate out Premier League soccer. Andrews is
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: watching a match right now. Yeah, but you guys all
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: have teams, Like everyone I know that watches Premier League
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: soccer in our country has a team. You're an MU
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: guy or a Manchester City guy or Arsenal whatever it
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: might be. Right, you're a guy, you're telling me, really, John,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: In overseas, they really they're just like there for the experience,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: right most I mean.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 6: Again, that was my experience and that was most people
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 6: having said that though, I mean again, it was really
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: cool because you're at Wembley Stadium and even the play
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 6: by play you're an open air, so you're able to
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: talk to people. You're with the people, and so yeah,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 6: for some people to get there, Yeah, I'm a Niner
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 6: fanom of this, but it's this small fan bases that
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: they have a bunch of them, and like I know
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: a lot of the European guys just through going to
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: a lot of Super Bowls and the international guys that
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 6: come over and look, there's pockets of fans everywhere and
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 6: it's cool, but it's just very small. And so people
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 6: ask me like, well, what would you compare it to?
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: And I don't know what I would compare it to
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 6: here because it's not because a lot of people just
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 6: make the comparison of well, it's the equivalent of what
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 6: soccer is here, and it's not because the NFL is
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 6: not that big over there. There's again, there are pockets
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: in certain places, and obviously that's why they keep bringing
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 6: games over there, because if it was already, if we
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: had world supremacy like we have national supremacy of the NFL,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: then they wouldn't have to push it so hard over there,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 6: but they don't, and it seems like they're saying, oh,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 6: we're making all this progress. And again I'm not raining
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 6: on any of these parade here. It's just it's not
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: going to replay soccer. And not only is it not
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 6: going to replay soccer or whatever the country is. It's
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 6: just a blip on the radar and it's almost like,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 6: you know, you're kind of looking at it like, what's
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 6: this weird phenomenon that's going on? Because from the very
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: same we started with talking about this, it's seven o'clock
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: in Australia and the Niners are going to be playing.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: Like It's just it's not conducive to the time difference.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 6: You really have to have to try to be an
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 6: NFL fan.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: It's not easy. The schedule these is like turning this
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: thing in its own too. Like we've been talking about
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: that a lot. I want to throw this at you
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: because as I look through this, like everyone's antip pitting,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Biggest thing is like, are you
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: playing an international game? Okay? No, the next biggest thing
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: are you playing a holiday? We'll find that stuff out
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: probably tomorrow. Outside of we already know Dallas. Dallas already
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: has a game on Thanksgiving in Detroit, Play one two.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: But John, I'm more curious, and I think this people
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: here want to know when they're playing Vegas because Seattle
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: plays at Vegas this year. I get that that makes
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: sense just from a football standpoint. I'm curious when your
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: division games are against the teams that matter, And frankly,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: it's this the two teams. It's the Rams on the
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Now, Seattle finished last season as we
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: all know what, the forty nine ers, and then the
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: final game the year before, and twenty twenty four they
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: finished the season with the Rams game ended up not mattering,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: although they had a tiebreaker going in and then it
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: was over before the game kicked off. Twenty twenty three,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: it was Arizona game didn't matter either. But they'll always
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: finish with a divisional game. I think that's what's important.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: I want to see when do you play the Rams,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: when do you play the forty nine ers? And I'm
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: assuming that fan bases from those two say the same, Oh,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 6: And you know, in years ago and you remember this,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: I think maybe it was the Colt or whatever the
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 6: team was they want to prevent, you know, tanking or
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: anything like that in the NFL. And so what they
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 6: do is they put those games at the end so
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 6: that hopefully they mean something within division. So I would
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 6: think that the Niners or Rams will be at the
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: end of their schedule again. And then you have the
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 6: other thing you look at, and this is what's unique
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 6: to the NFL is seventeen and probably soon to be
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 6: eighteen games. You can't do this anywhere else. You can't
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 6: do this over one sixty two. You can't do this
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 6: for eighty two for hockey or the NBA or anything
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 6: like that. Everybody, every sports show does the same thing,
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 6: which is you play the win lost game, right, win
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: lost one lost one loss. But you're also looking at
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: as what's a short week and who do we.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: Play on that week?
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 6: So the Seahawks, as much as people may say, oh,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: we're playing on a Wednesday, Yeah, but then you probably
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 6: don't play till they following Sunday or Monday. So now
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: you're getting a two week break. But are you playing
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 6: the Niners or the Rams on a short week because
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: the league doesn't care. I mean they act like they
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 6: do player safety. Yeah, okay, if you play those teams
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 6: on a short week. If you're going Sunday to Thursday
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 6: to play the Rams of the Niners, if you're the Seahawks,
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 6: that's a disadvantage to everybody. Hopefully the league can you know,
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 6: and they can't be perfect, but hopefully the league can
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 6: make sure that these bigger games are played with the
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 6: proper amount of rest and hope, so that guys aren't injured.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 6: And so, I mean that's the kind of things you
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 6: look for. You also look for like a three You know,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 6: you're not gonna have three home or road games in
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 6: a row, but what is your key stretch of the season.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 6: You know, there's a there's always like a four or
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 6: five game stretch where you go, whoa, I look like,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: hell right there, what are we gonna do here?
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: So you know, and you try to project out.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 6: What things are gonna do. The difference in the NFL
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 6: versus the other sports is simple. It's not if you're
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 6: gonna have injuries, it's to who, how long and when? Yep,
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 6: And so when you go into those games, how how
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 6: injured is your team? How you know? Because at the
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 6: end of the year, like you said, the Seahawks are
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 6: going to be playing the Niners of the Rams, on
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 6: that last game of the year, it is guaranteed.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: How healthy is your team at that point. That's why
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: of stunned to see the Chiefs and the Broncos playing
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: that first was a Monday night game, Like they must
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: be really confident that Mahomes is back, like really really
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: cost to be right.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 6: You're not putting them out there with who's their back
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: in Kansasy?
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Oh uh.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: Bear?
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 6: Justin field?
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: Justin field, that's right, justin field. Yeah, yeah, where Garoppolo
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 5: go where I think he might retire.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: That's right, he's still with.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 6: The Rams, right, yeah, but he contracts up, his contracts up,
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 6: and so he's talking because they just drafted Simpson. I
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 6: don't know where Jimmy would go. I mean, really, the
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 6: only logical place for Jimmy and if there's an injury,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 6: he'll probably come back at that point. But Mike Laflur
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 6: is in Arizona, and there was talk about maybe Jimmy
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 6: would follow him because he knows that offense and he
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 6: might be the backup. But damn, they've got your guy
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 6: Gardner Minshew, They've.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: Got you know, Arizona minshe's Arizona guy.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: Now he's in Arizona. A lot with Brissett yea, and
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 6: continued Jacob stopping Carson Beck.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 6: Tanking without telling me. You're tanking for arch Manning next year.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: Our guys, the best of the bunch in that one
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: All Gardener, by the way. A couple of texts here
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: Lund name dropping lock? Come on, man, is that is
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: that it named?
• 1:41:01

• 1:41:04
  Speaker 6: I can name drop with the best of them.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: That ain't a name drop. Let me double Let me

  Speaker 3: I do not.

  Speaker 1: The draft and Deboons is from Buyu.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 6: He's just talking to Bons and Peterson out of.

• 1:47:24
  Speaker 7: Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 13: Oh under, here's your Calshy update. What happens first the
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 13: Keeahawks reaching another Super Bowl or the Mariners reaching their
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 13: first World Series? Go Mariners, Go Seahawks.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 5: Who odds would tell you the Seahawks because one has
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 5: happened and one has never happened. I think they're gonna
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 5: do it again this year. I'm gonna be completely honest.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the division is going to be difficult
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 3: for them. But and that's the only thing about having
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 3: a division that is difficult, you have good teams in it.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 4: I mean Arizona, I don't count them right now, but.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the hardest each other. The hardest battle you have
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: is your own division and trying to win the divisions.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: He get home games because if you don't like, I
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: think three teams make it out of the division again,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: and I think two of the three are gonna be
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: playing road games. Well, I know that two of the
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: three would be playing, right. I think everyone's drinking the
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: Rams kool aid. Yeah, I just think the better. I
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: like your take on that.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 4: It makes me feel better.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: I'd be worried about Stafford, like he's one hit away,
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: one bad back away, one whatever away.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 5: If you were an LA RAMS fan'd be worried about Stafford.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's coming off an MVP season,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: but it feels like he's.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 5: You're one something away from going to ty Simpson. Yes,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 5: all right, next up?
• 1:48:56

• 1:49:09
  Speaker 13: everyone's still sleeping, it's just me, the house quiet. I
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 13: absolutely love it. But I'd rather get hard knocks as well.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 13: But I wonder if it's just an age then talking
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 13: Ian hate it.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: I like it anders honors. I'm more willing to do it.

• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: in there where you go before everyone's waking up.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 3: When the Mariners were in Japan, I had had knee
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 3: surgery for one of their trips to Japan, so I
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 3: was home, you know, I had a week off just
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 3: hip to ankle, you know, brace and I was on
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 3: copious amounts of whatever drugs they gave me so I
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 3: couldn't work. And it was I had never done whatever,
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 3: you know, whatever opioid they put you on. I had
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 3: never I was scared of them, and then I realized
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 3: how content I was. I woke up at three o'clock
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 3: in the morning.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: Those games like literally two, three, four in the morning.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: I was obscene, but.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 4: I I was in the place where I could enjoy it.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 4: I didn't have to go to work later that day.

• 1:50:49
  Speaker 14: playboys and some jewfro thing you guys were talking about yesterday.

• 1:51:10
  Speaker 5: Felts is coming in and showing me.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: Furious Felts I missed, not having Furious felt. Did he
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: ever hear it yesterday?
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't play it for him.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, you can if today if you want, or I'll

  Speaker 5: We play it in a few minutes.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had more furious felts tomorrow.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot of quote. I asked about the
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: schedule release. Uh, mildly interested in the Seahawks schedule release.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: But I enjoy soapoxy and yelling at clouds More. It's
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: a great one. That's a great text yelling. I love
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: that definitely not Jack Depps as a two O six.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what first opponent is. I feel like
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: that definitely matters. I want to know. Also if we
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: have two international trade trash games, you don't know international games.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: Already know that, but first first opponent's going to be
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: the Bears. It's it's going to be the Bears. It
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: has to be the Bear.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: They want a decent matchup. They're not going to give
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: you the Cardinals. That'd be too easy. It's going to
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: be the Bears. NFL schedules since the four two five,
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: the hype is garbage. Just want the schedule to plan
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: my life. I'm with you two six. Don't really care
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: about the schedule. And man, I'm a big Seahawks NFL fan,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: but I do get tired of talking football. Year while
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: football means fall and winners.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 9: Here.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: Let's enjoy our spring summer in baseball. Love it, Love
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: that two five to three. Anxiously await the schedule every
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: year for the NFL drives my wife crazy. But we
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: can't plan our fall travel plans so we know what
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: weekends there Home and away is not going to be
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: home our way for home games. Twenty year season ticket holder,
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: I think the thing that is kind of odd college
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: football is really screwed up. We all agree, right, yeah, yeah,
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: why does it take college football? Is our schedules already
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: out and then they tweak it a little bit and
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: they give you the Friday games like they did last
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: week with UDUB and so forth. Shouldn't be that hard
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: people want to plan. It used to be when we
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: went to the draft. Wasn't that long ago. We went
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: to the draft the end of April, yep, And in
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: the pre draft notes and stuff that they gave us
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: and all our pre it was right on there. The
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: schedule is there we already dow yep. But that that's
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: obviously changed because they want to make it a made
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: for TV events.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 4: I mean we have the opponents and everything, we just
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 4: don't have.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: The well and people want to play, like if you
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: want to travel like Vegas, people want to travel to Vegas.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: People want to do different things, they want to travel.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 6: I get that.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: So it's main not enough time to get the travel schedule.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: Uh made it like September, August, May and later. Yeah,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: it's not it's not terrible.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: Well here's well, no, here's the problem. This is kind
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: of an interesting thing. This year we got a second stop.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little late for across town. Okay.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: One of the things that that you that you see
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: the second that the schedule drops, at least here in Seattle,
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: and we used to do that. We used to do
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: this because we would have to book travel. Greig can
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: probably tell you the same thing. Schedule drops and you
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: start trying to book travel and a flight to Phoenix,
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: for example, that the day before was you know, two
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: seventy five each way, five hundred and fifty dollars flight
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: whatever would be. Yeah, all of a sudden that flight
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: is six hundred dollars each way. Fwove hundred dollars. Because
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: all the airlines love to do the following. The second
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: they see a demand, it's supplying demand. Jack's it up
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: the way prices work, so like, you better be on
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: if you're going to go somewhere. What I would tell
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: you is this if you're gonna if you want to travel.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: And we never was there a Saturday morning, seventeen years,
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: sixteen years of doing that. Never was there a Saturday
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: morning that we didn't get on an airplane to go somewhere. Well, direct,
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: if it was indirect, it was different, but direct flight
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't packed with Seahawks fans. We're doing the
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: same thing, like why do you guys all going to
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: Detroit because Seahawks are planning? And then you get on
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: there at six am and then some guy who's already
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: had three cocktails. Fuck, we're taking over to the plane
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: right when you doze it off like you've just fallen asleep.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 5: You're shit.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, guy gets his like
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: you know, he got like his airline bottles, he's stashed
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: I know exactly Scott is. You know he's got his
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: Seahawk calf tattoo, going on nice wearing his twelve jersey.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 4: There's a twelve Hawks.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: The only good part of that, my old grumpy photographer Shramik.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: He would get so pissed, like he would just get
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: so mad.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 4: I'm a grumpy person in those situations too.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: Hate the twelve.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 5: We're not saying that twelves, We're not he said that.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: Oh no, just that, especially like it would happen when
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: you were waiting online to board too.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. But if you're one of those guys and
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: you want to travel and settle, I would have your
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: whatever app or whatever website. If you want to go
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: Delta Alaska, I would have that at five pm, open
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: and ready to go. Yep, and and see if you
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: can beat him to the punch. And now, especially with
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: the way like fuel costs are everything flying anyways expensive?
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: Do you everybody take us for Australia hopefully?
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: Thank god? Oh gosh, yeah, no, that'd be like a

  Speaker 3: I miles to use, had.

  Speaker 4: A ton of miles to use.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 3: And if you did the depth differential, you saved so
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 3: much money by using miles. We ended up buying more
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 3: miles because it was cheaper, uh, instead of doing it cash.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: It's a difference, Jess.

  Speaker 8: What's going on?
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: Oh you know where I would talk a little schedule?
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: I I find myself now, this has happened a couple
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: of times lately, agreeing with things that you're saying.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 8: That's because it's genius. By the way, that's about time.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 8: I don't realize. I think that's a stretch.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's your.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 8: Stupid, ridiculous, dumb takes.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's a stretch.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 8: Listen to us.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: I just I'm taking everything you say now on social
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: media and just running with it on a showtime. No,
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: I what did you say about I don't care about
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: growing the game. I just wanted to know. I'm with you, man,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: who care about growing the game?
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 8: Well, first of all, the last thing I want to
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 8: do is lose a home game to Germany or Paris. Yeah,
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 8: you know, I'd rather see nine home games than eight,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 8: number one, and then number two. I'd rather watch the
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 8: Seahawks at one, five or whatever the hell has opposed
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 8: to six, six o'clock in the morning. I'm with you
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 8: on that, of course.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Making your guys fly across the world they already
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 5: fly enough as it is.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 8: No lesser teams do that. Let the downtrodden teams like
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 8: the Niners play international game.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: Two of them for the Niners this year Australia. And
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: although one was telling us that Mexico, I guess it
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: was a massive forty nine or like, that's that's big
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and apparently Kyle Shanahan cares about that too, by
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 8: the way.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: No, no, like, well here was a deal, but he
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: what he's telling us is that with the forty nine
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: the Rams, Oh that's a home game for them. The
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: Rams wanted to play the forty nine or there because
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: they don't like hosting the forty nine ers because when
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: they do so, it's a home game for San Francisco.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 8: Well remember the NFC Championship game. Yeah, the Niner fans
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 8: just showed up. So that that part I agree with.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 8: But the idea that you know, Kyle Shanahan and even
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 8: to some extent John Lynch should really give a damn
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 8: how big the Niner fan base is in Mexico City.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, that does nothing for those Well, no, what
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: they said they wanted to play, They wanted to play
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: the Rams. They said they're going to play the Rams
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: in an international game. And what he told us is
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: that they said, okay, let's play that one in Mexico City,
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: and the Rams says, not a chance. So that's why
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: they heard that.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 8: I heard that entire conversation as I was stuck waiting
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 8: for the first time. How was that today?
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: Bridges off down, bridges off?
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 8: I just don't get it, man, There's no rhyme or reason.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 8: It drives me nuts. And if anybody can point me
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 8: in the right direction, because it really has become my
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 8: new commute in the last six years, trust me, I'm
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 8: not complaining because I see a lot less of I
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 8: five living where I live now, it's actually fabulous. But
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 8: the one thing that drives you nuts, you gotta you
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 8: gotta time the bridge and when it goes up, it
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 8: stays up for like twenty minutes for like what for
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 8: one boat?
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: One a little I I have sat there many times
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: and look to see as you go. You know, when
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: you go across finally and you look around and look right,
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: look left, and go I don't even see a boat,
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: like I think. I think the guy gets bored and
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: he just says, you know what, I'm gonna put the
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: thing up, just wants to push them. I'm just gonna
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: push the buttons and put it is there. He's driving
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: in right now, I'm gonna put it up.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 8: There's no schedule right for the first Avenue south Bridge
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 8: now like there's no Hey, you can only open it
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 8: between the hours of mont lake Bridge does okay, Well,
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 8: then why can't the first Avenue south Bridge?
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: I told you the guy knows that you're driving in.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm I'm bored. I'm gonna put it up
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: and mind.

• 2:00:55
  Speaker 8: You might.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: They got a lot of pressure. Yes, yeah, I don't
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: think it's relenting because they wanted to. I think they
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: in the end said, is that where you grew up?
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, No, God, no, means, so you went

  Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys are kind of pretty pretty selective on
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 5: who gets in there.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 8: I know that that's more elitist oday or Belvie.
