  Speaker 2: Good morning. Happy Friday. Headlines are brought to you by
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Frost Brewed Coors Light. As cold as the Rockies, the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Mariners are done. Officially eliminated even before they lost yet
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: again last night at home to the Angels. Yep, the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: team that was a favorite to represent the American League
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: in the World Series is 11 games under. 500 and

  Speaker 2: better be headed for changes. Cal Raleigh thinks so. You're
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: going to hear from him in a minute. Sam Donald,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: full go at practice yesterday. A strong sign he's going
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: to start a quarterback for the Seahawks on Sunday at Washington.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Nick Emanwuri, full go. Ernest Jones and Brady Russell had
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: mispracticed on Wednesday. They were full go yesterday. But now
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the team has a Julian Love issue. The veteran Pro
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Bowl safety hasn't practiced this week. He's got a new
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: calf injury. Running back Jadarian Price limited again by that
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: shoulder injury, though he did practice. He has practiced the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: two days this week. The game injury report is due
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: out at 1 o'clock, and I'm going to talk to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald right after that, and we'll know more about
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Julian Love's status. So in with one safety, out still
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: with two, because Ty Okada hasn't practiced in three weeks
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: with a hamstring injury. San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Bosa suffered a calf injury in practice yesterday. He's expected
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to be out a couple weeks, sources have told ESPN
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and NFL Network. Bosa will not play Sunday when the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: 49ers play the Cardinals. And the 49ers are trying to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: determine whether the five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman needs to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: be placed on injured reserve. More injuries for the 49ers.
• 1:34

  Speaker 2: They were fighting all over the place. First of all,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Calgary's Chase Harrington laid out Chandler Stevenson. Then Vince Dunn,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Josh Mahura, Bobby McMahon all got into fights after that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Guess who the Kraken opened with in six days? The
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: NHL opener. The Calgary Flames. Yep. In Calgary.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I think they were just setting the table.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: There'll be something out of that, I'm sure.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: That's why people like hockey, is because it's a part.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Of the game. It is accepted, isn't it? The linesmen
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: just stand around and wait and watch until they fall
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to the ice. Like, all right, that's enough, that's enough.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But they don't until they fall to the ice. They'll
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: just let them fight. And then when they get to
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the ice, then they just step in. Kraken's final preseason

  Speaker 2: another big weekend. Greg Bell, the News Tribune, and Jessamyn
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: McIntyre with you here at the Elliott Bay Studios in Seattle.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Good morning, ma'am. Good morning. It's better to see in person.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I've missed you. You've been all over the place.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I am so tempted to tell the listening
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: audience what you did last night at the Mariners Park.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You can. You do? Can I? Absolutely. Jessamyn McIntyre walked
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: into the press box right at first pitch, into the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: radio booth. And presented Rick Riz with a bouquet of roses.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And lilies. Pardon me.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And hydrangeas.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: And hydrangeas. Thank you. Let's not slight roses and hydrangeas
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and lilies.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But it was a beautiful arrangement. And just tell the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: listeners what Rick Riz's reaction was.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Well, he just was so grateful. And he's just always
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: been so great to me. He'll be on, actually, this
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: afternoon with Softie and Dick at 420.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Everyone tune in for that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: But I am going to be in Pullman this weekend,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: so I will not be there for his farewell weekend.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: And I wanted to see him beforehand. And I told
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: him that if I had a flower for every single
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: time he was kind to me, there would be no
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: seats in the stadium. And it's true. Rick Riz is
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: an amazing human being. And I wanted to present him
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: with something very nice. Shout out to Stadium Flowers up
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: in Edmonds, because that's where I go for all of
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: my important flowers. And they had this beautiful arrangement and
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I just spoke to me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: So I brought that to Rick and shout out to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Kevin Martinez.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: And I felt I felt bad because traffic was terrible
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: getting down there. And so I didn't get up there
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: before first pitch. I got there right at first pitch.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: So I said, oh, I'm just going to wait over
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: here in the press box area because I am credentialed
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: to be there. And I had already cleared it with
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: people because I had tickets to the game. My husband
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: and I were going, but I was like, is it
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: okay if I use my credential just to do this?
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: And everyone was so gracious about it. Of course you can.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Kidding me?
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: And then I saw Kevin Martinez when I was walking
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: in and he's like, just sit.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: In the back of the booth.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: The president of the Mariners.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: By the way, the person who makes that experience along
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: with his incredible staff, the baseball experience at the stadium
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: is He's the one who has been doing that for
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: many years. Anyway, he just told me to sit in
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: the back of the booth. And I had friends who
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: were in there, too. And I got to see him
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: in between the top of the first and bottom.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And he was just really grateful.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: And I thought that was a very important thing to
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: do for the time that he has spent with me,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: you know, coming on air, just being so kind. And
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I'm going to miss him very, very much.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: For those that want to know what the quality of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Jessamyn McIntyre is.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I know that's not what you're saying. I know I'm
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: bragging on you. I know that you're not. I'm just
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: saying I'm pointing out not everyone would do that. And
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the sentiment you mentioned about there would be so many
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: flowers to fill the entire stadium and every seat there
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be any fans. You wrote that in a card.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I did, and hopefully he read it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: When you told me that last night, I was blown away,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that you— Right,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: this is what I do! Yeah, well, not everyone does,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: so that's why I wanted to bring it up. Okay,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: you are right. Maybe not everyone does, but I'm not—
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Rick Riz, as we all know, does way more than
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: broadcast baseball games. For the last 41 years in Seattle,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: he's done way more than that. And his impact on
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the community— The community, the openness he gives, the time
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: he gives, the money he gives, the money he raises
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: for disadvantaged youth, for youth in trouble, for adults. I mean,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: it's become better known here in the last year, his
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: farewell tour about Rick Riz far more than Mariners baseball.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Just wish the damn Mariners had a better season to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: send him out with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: For him, yes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: On the show today, I got a postscript of the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald, Sean Payton, Graham Benziger soap opera I want
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to mention. I'm not going to bring it up. I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: just want to pass along something that come to my attention. Okay.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And Sam Darnold's season and his career is certainly you
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: turned in the right direction in the last week and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a half. You're going to hear from Sam Darnold and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: what he was fearing the worst. I mean, like career altering,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Bo Jackson hip ending thing. He was worried about that night.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: On the opener, you're going to hear from Sam Darnold.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: 11 o'clock, our weekly high school football showcase. This week,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the featured game is Bothell and Woodinville in the North Shore.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: We'll talk live at 11 o'clock with Bothell legendary coach
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Tom Bainter and at 11.15 with Woodinville coach Wayne Maxwell
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: before they play tonight. We do that every Friday. We
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: pick a game. We pick some coaches. We try to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: spread it around to different classifications, to different areas of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the state. Now it's Western Washington Central. I will admit that.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: But we are– we'll maybe get over on the east
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: side here sometime. But tonight, Bothell and Woodinville play. We'll
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: talk to both the coaches at 11 o'clock. 11.30, read

  Speaker 2: he's got on this Washington State Beef Ranchers and Farmers
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Football Friday. But first, I wanted to start the show
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: today with Cal Raleigh. The Mariners leader talked at length
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in the dugout yesterday, soon after the M's were officially
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: eliminated from the playoffs. This is Cal Raleigh yesterday on
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the most disappointing season in the 50 years of Mariner baseball.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Rangers win today and eliminate you guys from the postseason.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I know it was a slim chance already.
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: You guys have probably already been assessing it, but now
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: that it's happened, what are your thoughts about the season
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: and being.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Here right now talking about that? Yeah, I mean, it's disappointing.
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: We definitely didn't deserve to make the playoffs.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Just frustrating year in general.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: A lot of areas to improve in.
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, just ultimately sucks because he failed, but.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You know, got to accept it and.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: You know, try to write the show.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: That was so different.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: If you could pinpoint a few things, if you look
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: back at the last season or this season.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: What went wrong in your mind?
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: What did you see that made a difference for you guys?
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I just think the, you know, I think there's
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: a lot of areas you can point to.
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: I think Ultimately, I think it was.
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: A lack of focus, a lack of execution, a lack of,
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Say energy at times.
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: And then you can kind of pull that in with,
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: you know, defense was not good all year.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Controlling the running game was not good all year. Playing
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: bad on the road all year. You know, hitting and.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Runners to scoring position. Hitting with runners to scoring position
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: was definitely not good.
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: You know, I'd say those were kind of some key
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: points that I kind of look at.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Did that surprise you? How many things went wrong this year?
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I mean, obviously, we were kind of riding high
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: off of last year. And somewhere along the way, things
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: just didn't click, didn't work. come together and we were
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: never able to ride the ship. That's the frustrating part.
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: I thought we would be able to get there.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: We just never did.
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: We never got better.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: We never turned it around. That's frustrating. But it's a
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: learning point that we're all going to have to take
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: accountability for and understand. You know, If it happens, you know, once,
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: it's one too many times.
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: If it happens again, it becomes a habit.
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: So it's just about changing that and, you know, make
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: sure you turn it around.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Kyle Raleigh yesterday, after the most disappointing Mariners season officially
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: became over. I mean, they got three games left, but
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: come on. They've been eliminated from the playoffs, a team
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that was favored to go to the World Series. That
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: was eight outs away from going to their first World
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Series last year. And when Cal Raleigh, their leader, says
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: we definitely didn't deserve to make the playoffs, that pretty
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: much sums it up. So does this. He said that
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: there was a lack of focus, a lack of execution,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a lack of energy. Where does that start? We've talked
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: about this. The Mariners are a collection of talent with
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: no leadership. And that starts at the very top of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the baseball operations at Jerry DiPoto. And that goes to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Justin Hollander. And that goes to the bench manager, Dan Wilson.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: who was hired to do everything Justin Hollander and Jerry
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: DiPoto tell him to do as a first-time manager. It
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: also falls upon the players who don't have leadership, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: there's no kick-ass guy in that clubhouse. We've talked about that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And even Cal Raleigh as a leader is not the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: kick-ass guy that'll turn over a clubhouse table or just
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: basically bench teammates themselves for non-performance. When Cal Raleigh talks
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: about how disappointing they were as execution and not controlling
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the running game and not hitting with runners in scoring position,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: not having a focus. When I hear not having a focus,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I think of Julio Rodriguez throwing live balls into the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: stands with one or two outs. I think of Randy
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Rosarino running on a 3-2 pitch with one out thinking
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: there were two outs and ruining a rally. I think
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of Josh Naylor not running out a ground ball to
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: second base that got kicked by the second baseman for
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the A's. and then unshoveled a second base thinking that
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: was the only play to force out. And the source
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: stopped looking up and seeing that Josh Naylor's not even
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: halfway down the line because he's walking out of the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: batter's box. I was at the game watching that happen
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago. That's what I think about. That's
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: on the players. And that's not Dan Wilson's fault. Those
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: players are professionals that get paid tens of millions of
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: dollars to do the bare minimum, and at times they
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: didn't even do the bare minimum. And there was nobody
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: from Jerry DiPoto on down who held them accountable for that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez should have been benched multiple times this year.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor should have been benched, but makes $ 90 million.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez makes $ 200 million. So they weren't benched. And
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: that sent a message to the entire team that that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: was okay. That mental lapses and checking out and not
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: trying was okay. And that's not okay. And there needs
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: to be somebody, whether it's professional, college, or high school,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: or youth, there needs to be somebody in a sports...
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: organization somewhere that says, no, we're not going to accept that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: We're going to send a message that if you do that,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: you don't play. And that never happened. And the play
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: continued to go down and nobody was there to stop
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: it because nobody had any accountability to stop it because
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: nobody has a buck stops here mentality in the franchise. Meanwhile,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: they drew 37,000 people a night Jimothy showed up, hot
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: dogs from heaven rained down from the skies, fireworks and
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: bobbleheads rained, and the baseball operation flourished. They're in the
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: top half of the league in revenue. They're in the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: bottom half of the league in spending on player payroll.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: They collect luxury tax revenue from the other teams that
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: are winning, the Yankees, the Dodgers, the Red Sox, the Cubs,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that are all going to the playoffs. While the Mariners
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: of the bottom line franchise succeed because they're worried about
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: making money because they have 25 owners to please. And
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the bottom line of those 25 owners is, is this
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: a profitable return on our investment? And the answer is yes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: And that's why everything stays status quo. Baseball operations is broken.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Business operations is flourishing. And when you have 25 owners,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the business operation wins. And that's really the bottom line
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: as succinctly as I can put it to where the
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Mariners stand right now. Will they change? Everyone knows they
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: have to change. Will they change? 49451, the changes you
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: want to see pronto, like in today, like in the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: day after the season ends on Sunday to this franchise.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: What do you want? Dan Wilson's not going to be back.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think he even has to be fired because
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to say, thanks, guys. I did
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: what you asked me to do, but I'm done. I
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: think he's had enough. Yeah, he's had enough.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I mean, that is no shade on Dan
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Wilson either, but I think he's been through enough.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: He's done. He's done. He was done like two months ago.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And whether he's been neutered or just doesn't want to
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: do anything to change, I don't know that. I've been
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: with the Seahawks the last few months, and I don't
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: know whether Dan Wilson tried to change things, tried to
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: bench guys and was told no. I suspect not. I
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: don't know if Jerry DiPoto is– it would be something
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: if Dan Wilson said, we're benching Jorge Rodriguez because he
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: threw the ball into the stands in Milwaukee with one
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: out in a 19-1 game or whatever it was at
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the time. And Jerry Post said, no, you can't do that.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that happened. But I think Dan Wilson
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: checked out long ago and he's done. And he won't
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: have to be fired because I think he's going to resign.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And I think that because of his status as one
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: of the Hall of Famers of the franchise, they won't
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: even get to the point of saying he was fired
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: or terminated or we've gone in a different direction. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: think it will be one of those mutual agreed or
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: maybe on his part resigned. But I would submit the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: changes need to start a lot higher than that. and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: they need to start at the president of baseball operations.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: He's had 12 seasons now, 11 seasons here. Nine of
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: them have not been in the playoffs. Ten of them
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: have not been a division championship. There are not a
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: lot of sports franchises in North America who will have
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: that failure rate. It would still hire the man in
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: charge of the operation of the sport. That's a fact.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: But the dichotomy again here is that as a business enterprise,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: it's flourishing. They are profitable. They are attracting a lot
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: of customers. They are popular in park experiences. Jessamyn and
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I have talked about many times. And as a baseball operation,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: for what you're actually truly paying for, they're failing. 49451,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: how you feel about all of this? What changes would
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: you like to have happen with the Mariners? They could
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: start as soon as Monday. That's how baseball kind of works.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: That's how sports work. They do it as soon as
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the season ends so they can then get a head
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: start on getting the next guy. Which brings a whole
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: other load of questions. If the same people are in charge,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the president of baseball operations and the general manager, how
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: are they going to get a manager in here that
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: would change what happened this year? What manager in their
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: right mind who would have the gravitas, as our friend
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Larry Stone has said multiple times on this station the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: last couple months, would have the gravitas to change the
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: culture and the accountability in the clubhouse?
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: It's interesting, too, because you're not getting these– I don't know, older,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: I don't want to just name anyone, but you're getting
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: younger managers who have either no experience or are up-and-comers,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: and you're not getting these guys who can just kind
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: of kick ass.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: And that's just the way of most of modern coaching
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: and professionalism.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Sports right now yes that is so i don't know
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: who'd be the perfect person you're not going to get
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: another lupinella no you're just not going and you're probably not.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Even going to get a joe madden yeah another great
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: example another world series champion manager who would say wait
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a minute you want me to play ipad baseball You
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: want me to do this handedness? You want to bring
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: in a 160 hitter when my gut tells me I'm
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: going to leave the guy in that I started just
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: because they brought in a left-handed pitcher I'm going to
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: have to change? I have to do that because you're
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: telling me that from up on high in a 300 level,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: a 200 suite level?
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: Uh-uh.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: So if Dan Wilson isn't there, who is?
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: It's really, I'm boggled.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Correct. Is Jamie Moyer about to be the next manager
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: of the Mariners? I mean, that would be an equivalent hire,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: would it not? Somebody who has absolutely no baseball experience,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: who is a popular Mariner figure in Mariner history. Is
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Edgar Martinez about to be the next Mariner manager? Is
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Joey Cora?
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, we've looked at those before just because
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: of what they do.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Is Mark McLemore? Who's going to be the next Mariner?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: A very popular guy. Mike Cameron. Mike Cameron. Somebody who
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: has never done it before, who would agree to do
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: iPad baseball exactly as the front office demands. Is that
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen? Because it's happened twice in a row.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: It's happened in all 11 years that Jerry DePoto has
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: been the president of baseball operations. So got service, never
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: managed before. Had a relationship with DePoto and the Angels.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: He's a bench coach. You know, yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: All the people that we have mentioned have some experience
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: in it, but never a manager.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Yes. Maybe not Jamie Moyer. Maybe not. I only think
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: of some others that are just.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I just remember Jamie coaching.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Jay Buhner. Is Jay Buhner the next manager?
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Honestly, he'd be the best one of everyone that we mentioned.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: But they won't hire him because he'd be like, bleep you.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I'm doing it my way. But maybe they need that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: They need a Joe Maddon or somebody like that who
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: would be their own manager to manage their own baseball
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: game by their own baseball instincts and what their gut
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: and their heart and their minds and their eyes tell them.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: That has not happened. A manager who would manage based
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: on what their eyes and their heart tells them would
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: have benched players for what happened this year, which never happened. Never.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: It didn't happen. And that has, as much as many
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: of all the problems the Mariners have had, that's a
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: huge one. If you have talent without leadership, you get
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: what the 2026 Mariners became. Probably the most glaring example
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: of my sports writing career. I've been doing this since 1999,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and I've never seen a franchise have this much talent
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: wasted because of a lack of leadership. And lack of
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: leadership showed up almost every night. And we got to
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: see like 160 examples of it so far this year. 49451,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I am interested to hear what your thoughts are and
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: what you think the Mariners should do to change this.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Who should go? Who should stay? Who they should bring in?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Give me someone with managerial experience who has a track
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: record of changing culture, clubhouses, and performance, please. Although it's
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: very hard to get those guys. Another question is, baseball
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: circles know baseball people. What baseball manager with gravitas would
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: be willing to come into the same operation Dan Wilson
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: just exited? Why would Joe Madden, I'm just throwing that
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: off the top of my head, why would a Joe
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Madden agree to come here if the same baseball ownership
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and baseball operations leaders are still here? That's another question.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Anyone looking from afar going, wait a minute, how could
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I go from a team that was eight hours from
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the World Series and then goes 11 games under. 500
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: to How did that happen? And are those people that
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: made it happen still there? And if the answer is yes,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not signing up for that. Something to think about.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Up next, Sam Darnold. He said yesterday he feared for
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: his career on September the 9th when he got injured
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: in his hip. He thought it was perhaps way more
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: than it became. And suddenly now, it looks like he's
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: going to start Sunday at Washington. You'll hear from the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl winning quarterback next at 11 o'clock. Our high
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: school football weekly showcase is Bothell in Woodinville in a
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: backyard tussle tonight on the North Shore. You'll hear from
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: both coaches at 11 o'clock. 11.35 is your Factor Fiction
• 24:08

• 24:41
  Speaker 2: in the Big Ten opener at Husky Stadium against the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Golden Gophers. We've got high school football tonight. We're
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: going to showcase that with Bothell and Woodinville's rivalry game
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: tonight on the North Shore. We'll talk to both of
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: those coaches at 11 o'clock. I'm going to board a
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: plane tomorrow morning and go to Washington, D.C. for the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Seahawks and the Commanders, 10 a.m. on Saturday. Justin McIntyre
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: is going to get on a plane and go to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Pullman for tomorrow, 4-15, Washington State hosting Arizona.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be a true challenge.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: It's a national TV game on CBS tomorrow. It is.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I'll be running into all those camera trucks, which I
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: love to do.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: On the spacious sidelines of Martin Stadium.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Well, on the opposite sideline these days, too.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, we get shade. Not that we'll need it at
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: a 4-15 kickoff.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Is there going to be even sun out tomorrow in Pullman?
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: It changes day to day, but I have comfies.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold practiced yesterday fully. For the first time since
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: his injury, his glute that he thought was way more
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: than a glute strain when Dremont Jones pulled him down
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: from behind in the fifth play of the season, September 9th.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: You saw the hip, the body crashed down onto his
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: right hip. All the body weighed into the right hip.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: You saw him limping off. What you didn't see is
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: he went to Harborview Medical Center during the game. He
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: didn't watch any except the last eight minutes of his game,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: and he watched the last eight minutes of the game
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: on his phone from Harborview Medical Center. his eyes got
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: opened going to Harborview. He saw real life.
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: Feeling good, yeah. I think for me, especially during this week,
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: just taking it day by day, continuing to balance the
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: reps and do everything I need to get ready.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: When we saw you leave.
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: The field in week one, we did not anticipate talking
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: to you so quickly after that. What was the wave
• 26:27
  Speaker 12: of emotions you went through in trying to process what happened?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
• 26:32
  Speaker 11: A lot of different emotions, a lot of possibilities, like
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: in terms of how long I would be out and
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: possibilities of like different injuries. So just a lot of
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: emotions and a lot of thoughts, but, you know, very,
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: very happy to be here and standing in front of
• 26:48
  Speaker 11: you guys today.
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: How quickly did.
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: They give you the assurance that most of those worst
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: case scenario, that those worst case scenarios weren't on the table?
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: Um, yeah, it was, it was kind of after the,
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: after I got the CT scan. And you can take
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: a better look at the anatomy of the bone, the
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: hip bone. So that was kind of when the doc
• 27:10
  Speaker 11: brought the good news to me.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, do you think you'll be able to play Sunday?
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: You know, I'm really striving for that. But, again, like
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: I said, you know, I'm just taking it day by day.
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: Also don't want to jinx anything.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: How did your body and the injury area react to
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: practicing yesterday?
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, it felt good. Just obviously a little
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: bit of soreness, but it felt really good.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: If I remember correctly, you didn't go into the medical
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: tent right away. It was, I think, a couple minutes.
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: Did you think that you were okay at first?
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, there's some things that happen on the
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: field that, you know, you get banged up a little
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: bit and something feels a little weird and feel weird
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: coming off to the sideline, and then you're able to
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: shake it off after a couple minutes on the sideline.
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: But it wasn't that way. You know, the pain just
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: kind of lingered and wasn't really able to throw. And
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: that was the main concern.
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: Sam, you've been in Drew's position in your career.
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: What's it been like to see what he's been able
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: to do?
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: Are you stepping up for you?
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's unbelievable, man. Just, you know, and again, like
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: none of us in this building are surprised at what happened.
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: You know, he's a baller. Went out there, played really well.
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: And yeah, just very happy for him. And just, it
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: was cool. Just cool to see his process throughout the
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: week and how he attacked it and to go out there.
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: And like I said, perform the way that he did.
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: It was no surprise.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Have you had an injury like that before or in
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: that area before?
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: How close is it to the oblique injury you had last.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Year in the playoffs?
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: No, no, it's a little bit different.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: Um, a little bit different.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: What was the hospital experience like? Were you able to
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: watch the game?
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: I was able to watch the last like eight minutes
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: on my phone. Um, but yeah, it was different, really
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: different at Harborview. But, uh, It was, you know, just
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: I will say this, like just the perspective on life
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: that I got while going into the hospital, seeing some
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: of the people and what they're dealing with, like that
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: was eye-opening, especially in the position that I was in
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: worrying about the injury and how long I was going
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: to be out. It was good to get that perspective,
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: I guess.
• 29:21
  Speaker 13: There were some people speculating that depending on what kind
• 29:24
  Speaker 13: of injury, it might not just affect the season, it
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: might affect your career.
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: Was that in your mind at all?
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah. Again, like I said, there was so many
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: different things that were running through my mind, and that
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: was one of them. Do you expect to increase your
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: reps today and tomorrow over what you did yesterday? Yeah,
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: I think the plan is to just continually increase the reps. And, yeah,
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: as long as I just keep feeling good and progressing
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: the way that I have been, continue to up the
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: reps throughout the week.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: This perspective you said you saw in the hospital, did
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: you talk to anyone?
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: No, no, just.
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: Again, like I said, just seeing some of the people
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: and the pain that they're in and what different people
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: are dealing with when they're in the hospital.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: It was just.
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: Because it's a trauma hospital, so there's a lot of
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: crazy stuff going on in there.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Did you come in through the emergency room?
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: No, I didn't come in through the emergency room. They
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: took me in a little side alley.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: What was it like seeing the end of the game?
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, you started a game, and then you're watching
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: the end of it on your phone.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: What's that like?
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: It's not fun.
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: Um, I'll be straight up with you guys. Um, you know, it's,
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: it's tough to, to get hurt, but to see the
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: way that, again, like I said, Drew came in and, uh,
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: you know, how well he played and really just protected
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: the football. Um, I was very happy to see that.
• 30:40
  Speaker 13: Mike said it really took a drastic turn kind of
• 30:42
  Speaker 13: upward last week or, you know, the positive direction.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: Did you kind of feel that as last week went along?
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah.
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: Just, uh, yeah, throughout the week, really after the injury,
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: like every single day, just the way that I've been
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: improving and getting better, um, has been great.
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: What's that mindset been like when obviously, like you said,
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: there's the perspective and going to the hospital and you're
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: thinking all the worst thoughts and then to hear that
• 31:04
  Speaker 14: it's not that, and you're going to be back. How
• 31:06
  Speaker 14: has that kind of affected your mindset and your enthusiasm
• 31:09
  Speaker 14: as you came back into the building?
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: You know that it obviously, you know, had a huge
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: impact of like potentially being out for the year to, okay,
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: it might be like, you know, it might only be
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: a few weeks or a couple of weeks, you know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: that changes your mindset drastically. So it was, uh, you know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: good little boost, I guess that I needed while, while
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: I was in there.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: How did it.
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: Feel to be back out on the field after all
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: that and just letting it loose?
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it felt great just to, to get back out
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: there with my teammates, man. That's like the greatest joy.
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: I think, like I said, like getting that perspective and
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: being able to actually like come back, go back on
• 31:45
  Speaker 11: out on the field and be able to play football
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: with my teammates, be able to play football in general.
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: Like that's, you know, Being on the sideline against Arizona,
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: like I said, it was great to see Drew have
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: success and our team have success. But when I was
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: out there on the sideline, I missed playing a ton.
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: So it's just good to get back out on the
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: practice field this week and get out there.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: What do you need to feel or think today, tomorrow,
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: to know you can play Sunday?
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think just mentally having confidence, having confidence in
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: my body, being able to go out there. And if
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: I need to take off, feeling good about sliding and
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: just doing all the football things, worrying about playing football,
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: not worrying about the hip at all, just going out
• 32:29
  Speaker 11: there playing football, playing fast.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Will you try to take off running in practice to
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: test that or not until game?
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'll just play every play as its own, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 11: if I have to take off running, just take off
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: and play ball.
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: What's the rehab look like on your end in terms
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: of what are you addressing? Is it muscular?
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: Is it tightness?
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: What are you trying to get at?
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's really the whole hip. You know, when you
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: have an injury to your hip or anywhere, all the
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: muscles around that area tighten up a little bit. So
• 32:57
  Speaker 11: just really continuing to keep it loose and strong, making
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: sure that I'm good coming back.
• 33:04
  Speaker 13: You guys have people on defense that play all sorts
• 33:07
  Speaker 13: of different positions.
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: And, you know, it used to be you can kind
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: of count a nickel as a nickel.
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: What's it like for you as a quarterback now to
• 33:12
  Speaker 13: prepare for teams when they've got guys that kind of
• 33:15
  Speaker 13: play unique roles?
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure. You know, Washington is a great example.
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: Their coordinator, DJ, over there, I was with him in Minnesota,
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: and he's a great football mind. They've got a really
• 33:27
  Speaker 11: good scheme over there with really good players and, again,
• 33:29
  Speaker 11: some guys that can play different positions. It makes it tough.
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: It makes it challenging. But I think for us as
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: an offense, being able to have a clear mind of
• 33:39
  Speaker 11: IDing those looks and getting really good reps in practice
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: and in walkthroughs really helped with that prep.
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: Drew mentioned that he was kind of swimming a little
• 33:49
  Speaker 13: bit this time last week and you came up after
• 33:52
  Speaker 13: this press conference and met with you and you helped
• 33:55
  Speaker 13: him kind of get back to center.
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: What was that conversation like and what did you see
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: from him there?
• 34:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, it can be tough, right? Like, you know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: just trying to figure out, you know, Again, going back
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: to the last question, all the different looks that a
• 34:12
  Speaker 11: defense can bring and present to us, really just understanding
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: our problems as a quarterback and when we might be hot,
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: when we might have to get the ball out. And
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: so I think for us, we just got to go
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: play fast and keep it really simple. And so that's
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: kind of all I told him was this is when
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: we have a problem, this is when we don't. And
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: what are our solutions when we do have a problem
• 34:36
  Speaker 11: and just going from there.
• 34:38
  Speaker 14: What was it like to experience the JSN show last
• 34:41
  Speaker 14: week as more of an outside observer?
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: What was your perspective on his day?
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he's really good at football. JSN, he's a heck
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: of a player, man. Obviously, we have a ton of
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: really good players everywhere, but Jackson does a really good
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: job for us.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: That was Sam Donald yesterday, and what struck me most
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: when my ears perked up most was when he said
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: he thought his career was affected. He's still only 29
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: years old, but that injury, Jessamyn, when it happened, when
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I saw it live, I didn't think it was too bad.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: And then I saw the replays of it, and at
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the moment, I thought of Bo Jackson. Do you remember
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: him running down the sideline for the Raiders against the
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals in a playoff game in the.
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: Mid-' 90s?
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I didn't watch it live, but yes.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I watched it live, and the Bengals player came down
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: on his hip from behind and pulled his whole body
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: weight into the right hip and ruined his career. Pulled
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: the hip right out of the socket, the labrum and
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: all of that.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Which is a potential, yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: And I think Sam Darnold might have been thinking about
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Bo Jackson. He knows that injury. All football players know that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: They've seen the clips of it a thousand times. It
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: changed Bo Jackson's career, and Sam Darnold thought that play
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: changed his career. And he was, until you heard him say,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: until he got the CAT scan at Harborview Medical Center,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: and then the MRI the next day that said, no,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: there was no hip damage, no socket damage, and no
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: bone damage, he was worried.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I'd love to say the doctor giving him the good news.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, there was some, when Mike McDonald said it
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: has drastically changed in the last week and a half,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: that's what they mean. Darnold and the Seahawks thought it
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: might be a career-altering injury. Instead, he may only miss
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: one full game. He's fully participated yesterday. I'm expecting him
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: to be full go today, as long as he responded
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: well to yesterday. He may not even be on the
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: injury report for the game that is issued at 1
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: o'clock today. He might just be... Full go, no status.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: No Q next to his name for questionable.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: We are expecting no Julian Love to have questionable, if
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: not doubtful, because he hasn't practiced all week with a
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: new calf injury.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: That one sucks.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: We'll find that out at 1 o'clock. I'll have it
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: at thenewstribune.com soon after that. And my story up on
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold and his fearing for his career is up
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: at thenewstribune.com right now as well. Up next, we'll talk
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: about our big football weekend where Jess and I are headed,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: where I'm going tonight for... seeing the winningest high school
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: football coach in state history. I'm calling his game tonight

  Speaker 2: that's our Army fight song. Every time they score a touchdown,
• 38:52

• 38:55
  Speaker 2: sing this song at West Point and at the Army-Navy
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: game in Philadelphia.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: a game.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what's always rough with those late-night West Coast

  Speaker 5: games is that for the East Coast viewing audience, which

  Speaker 5: is what they want, they want the big markets watching.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: That is a rough schedule.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I'm told by the television executives in football that that
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: 10.30 p.m., 11.30, or 11 p.m. Eastern time is a
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: very well-watched window.

  Speaker 3: I mean, we are crazy in New York.
• 40:39

• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Big game in college football tomorrow. It starts at 9 a.m.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: our time.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: No.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: 1 Texas is at No. 14 Tennessee. Remember in Factor
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Fiction I took the Longhorns minus the 4.5. I like
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: that pick. Yeah, I think the Sarkeesians will win by
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: at least a touchdown there. And then the primetime games tomorrow.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Texas A & M at LSU. Oregon at USC on
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: NBC of National Interest. That's probably the two games that
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: are worth seeing in the evening before Minnesota at Washington.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: And then on Sunday, what you got here locally is
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: going to be... Let's pull it up and make it
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: right here. Okay. On Cairo 7 on CBS, the NFL game,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: you're going to get the early game on 10 a.m.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: is Cincinnati at Pittsburgh. Ian's friend Ross Tucker and Jessamyn's
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: friend Ross Tucker will be on that call. And then
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the CBS late game... is going to be Baltimore and
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Dallas from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Jim Nance and J.J. Watt,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: that's going to be shown here in Seattle. Of course,

  Speaker 2: Seahawks fans, you're going to get Joe Davis and Greg
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Olson on the call.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: I like Greg.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Seahawks. Yeah, Greg Olson is an Emmy Award winning. He
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: should be the number one guy.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: He got a lot of flack in his first season.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I think he's really good.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Former Seahawks tight end at the end of his career,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: but mostly Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears. He, of course,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: was the number one Fox analyst until some guy named
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady decided to get into broadcasting. That's why he's
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: no longer.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: He's got the number one jawline.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I'll give you that. Then the Sunday night game, the
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Rams at the Broncos on NBC at 520 here on KJR.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: The KJR afternoon game after the Seahawks game is the
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: 125 kickoff of the Raiders at the Saints. You can
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: hear that live here on 93.3. KJR, so that's your
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: football weekend. Jessamyn and I are going in different directions
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: and different sides.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Passing ships in the night.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Let's go. 49451, what are you looking forward to? We
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: have got a ton of text, by the way, about
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the Mariners and what you would do. So let me
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: ask that question and re-ask that. The first question on
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: the text line today. What do the Mariners need to change?
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: What changes do you want to see, like now or
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: starting Monday after the season ends on Sunday? And then
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: the other question is, what are you looking forward to most? Huskies,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Big Ten opener at home, Minnesota pretty physical team. You're
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing the Seahawks going into Washington with
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold apparently returning to be full-time, full-go, full-starting. Maybe
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: your high school football thing. Tell us what stadium you're
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: heading out to tonight.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: The talkback's always welcome, too.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: The talkback's on the iHeartRadio app or the KJR.com website.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: 11 o'clock, right in a couple minutes here, at the
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: other side of this break, we're going to go live
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: to Bothell High School. Tom Bainter, the legendary coach at
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Bothell High, he's hosting Woodinville tonight. We're going to talk
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: to both coaches, Tom Bainter of Bothell, Wayne Maxwell of Woodinville,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: back-to-back on our High School Football Showcase weekly Friday edition
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: on 93.3 KJRFM. As part of our relentless coverage of
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: the NFL. This is football. This is football.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: This is a Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: This crowd is going nuts.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Football Fridays are brought to you by Washington's Beef Farmers
• 44:28

  Speaker 1: It's Football Friday with Greg Bell on your home for
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Not to disagree with Vic,

  Speaker 2: but we're also home of the Huskies, who play tomorrow
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: night at 8 p.m. against Minnesota at Husky Stadium Live
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: here on KGR. We're also home for high school football
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: in Washington. We've got varsity football live tonight, 10 p.m.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Dick Fain's show, a scoreboard show from around the state,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: telling you the results as they come in tonight live
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: from the games that, well, kick off around 5 o'clock
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: in some venues, like Edmonds-Woodway High School, where they have
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: doubleheaders each week, or Kent, where it The stadium down
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: in Kent has doubleheaders, as Frenchfield has doubleheaders as well.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Renton High School often has doubleheaders. Renton Memorial Stadium, I
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: should say, has doubleheaders. And tonight, Bothell and Woodinville are
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: playing a backyard brawl, a rivalry game. Pretty early in
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the season for that. We're going to talk to both coaches.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to reset you real quick for what the
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Seahawks got going on. Sam Donner was full go yesterday
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: at practice. All signs are that the quarterback is going
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: to return after missing just one full game. plus three
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: and a half quarters of the opener. It looks like
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: he's going to play from that strangle. You heard from
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: him last half hour about how he feared for his career.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Nick Vemanwary, full go. Looks like he's going to get
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: full snaps and full regular deal. Ty Okada, the starting safe.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: He still hasn't practiced in three weeks because of the
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: hamstring issue, which we've talked about. They don't just go
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: away overnight. Looks like he's going to be listed as
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: out when the injury report comes out at one o'clock.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Jadarian Price, I'm expected to be questionable. He has been
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: limited in his practice this week by a shoulder injury
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: that he got in the third quarter at Arizona last weekend.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: And the big injury issue now that Sam Donald is
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: back for the Seahawks is Julian Love. The veteran Pro
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Bowl safety did not practice yesterday. He was not on
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: the injury report Wednesday, which means he was fine full
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: go and not worthy of being on the list. And then... Wednesday, yeah, Thursday,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: did not practice with a new calf injury, which suggests
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: he got hurt in practice. So what do the Seahawks
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: do if he can't play? Well, A.J. Finley's on the
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: active roster as a deep safety, and they have Rodney
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Thomas up from the practice squad now signed to the
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: 53 after being elevated and starting the first two games
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: when Ty Okada was hurt. So I expect the deep
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: safeties to be A.J. Finley and Rodney Thomas on Sunday
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: at Washington, and with Nicky Manwari up as the hybrid
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: linebacker to 4-3 Sam and a lot more dime. even
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: if Julian Love doesn't play. So the Julian Love situation
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: will be the story of the day for the Seahawks today.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what Mike McDonald has to say, what
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: the injury report has to say at 1 o'clock today.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: The injury report due to the NFL at 1 o'clock
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: and Julian Love's status will be the story of the day.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I'll have that at thenewstribune.com and on Twitter, at G
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Bell Seattle. Tom Boehner has a job to do. He's
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: the head football coach at Seahawks. Bothell High School, for
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: 27 years he's been in that job. He's been coaching
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: for 38 years. He's a member of the Washington State
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Football Coaches Hall of Fame. He's got a rivalry game
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: tonight against Woodinville High School, but he's in class because
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: he teaches.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: He might be able to join us right at 1130
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: before we get to your talkbacks and texts and factor fiction.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, we might pop him on for just a few.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: So let's go to Woodinville High School, shall we? To
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Wayne Maxwell. He's the head coach at Woodinville High School.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I actually Referee officiated his game on his sideline last week.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: They played Evergreen of Vancouver, and they lost narrowly at
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: the end. They were leading that game the whole game.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: There was a controversial spot on a fourth down that
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: I was a part of, and I won't bring it.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: He was gracious enough to talk to me about that
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: off air, so I won't talk about what we talked about.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Before we get to Wayne Maxwell, I was calling him
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Vernon Maxwell because of his NBA days. You remember Vernon Maxwell, right?
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Let me explain briefly what I've found out. Remember I
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: told you I was going to tell you what I
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: found out a little bit more about the Graham-Benzinger whole fiasco? Oh, yes.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: Do tell.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Benzinger puts out a statement amid all kinds
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: of controversy about what Mike McDonald said about Sean Payton.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Off the air. It was not supposed to be aired.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: You heard Mike McDonald say this week that wasn't meant
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: for public consumption. Graham-Benzinger puts out a statement, a written
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: statement on social media saying... We gave the segment in
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: question in the entire episode that aired on YouTube to
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Seahawks PR five days before we put it out, and
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: we didn't get anything back from PR objecting to any
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: of it, so we ran with it. That's Graham Benzinger's story. Well,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I've been told that's not true, that he did not
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: give the Seahawks PR department five days. He gave him
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: about an hour and he and he just gave him
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: oh hey instead of if you're not if you don't
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: instead of trying to track us down on the cw
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: or your local affiliate or online youtube somewhere It's a
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: syndicated television show, so it varies where it airs.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: It's recorded, yes.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: So instead of trying to check it out, here's the links.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Here's the links we're going to put on television. Here's
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: the links that we're going to put out on YouTube,
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: just so you have it. Boom.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Not, are you okay with this, just so you have it.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: No. It was a courtesy of, here's the access to
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: be able to watch the airing. Also, I've been told
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: that the Graham Benjinger show went around the Seahawks PR department.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: And the Seahawks did not get permission to come to
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's house.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Through them.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: And in fact, the Seahawks really weren't in favor of
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: this idea. And he went around them anyway and did
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: it himself. That's what I've been told. I've been around
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: the building. Let's just put it that way.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: You know, sources, Greg. Just say sources.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Sources. But I will tell you that the Graham Benzinger
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: story is not the story the Seahawks and Mike McDonald have.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: That's a fact. We'll leave that there and let that
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: be that as it may. Suffice to say that Graham
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Benzinger will never interview another Seahawk coach, player, groundskeeper, parking attendant.
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: I have been around this organization long enough to know
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: that's the case.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: So the question as a journalist, because for him, if
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: you call him a journalist for this pool, it's almost
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: like he's not. He's more of an entertainer. But he
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: may not get too many people in the NFL and
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: maybe not in sports after this. If word gets out
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: exactly how this went down, I'm not sure Graham Benzinger
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: is going to have too many people lining up to
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: talk to him in the sports world, at least not
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, because NFL coaches and executives talk quite
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: a bit among each other. Then word will get out
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: pretty quickly about how those went down, if it went
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: down as I've been told it has. I'm just presenting
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: both sides of this, Graham Benzinger's side in his statement
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: and what I've learned what actually went down from a
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Seahawks perspective. I'm about done with that story, but I
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: just wanted to close the loop.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I like that loop.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to close the loop on everything.
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: I think that provides some more clarification because I could
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: not see the Seahawks PR, who is very attentive to
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: everything media, everything. And I just couldn't see them Having
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: five days to look at that and not having a
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: problem with it.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: And like you said, it was a courtesy, not an approval.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was more of a here's the links and boom.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: So that's that. Are we ready to go to Woodinville
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: High School?
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Wayne Maxwell. I taped an interview this
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: morning because he has a job to do, too. He's
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: teaching right now. Wayne Maxwell is the head coach of
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Woodinville High School. He, like Tom Boehner at Bothell Cougars,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: sent their teams to Hawaii for week one this year
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: at the end of August. We talk about that and
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: a couple other things on our high school football focus
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: on a Washington State Beef Commission football Friday on 93.3 KJR.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Wayne Maxwell of Woodinville High School. Back here on a
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Washington State Beef Commission football Friday on 93.3 KJR.
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: Our high school football focus we do every Friday.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: This one It's a backyard brawl on the North Shore,
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Woodinville and Bothell, and we're pleased to be joined by
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Woodinville High School coach Wayne Maxwell on the.
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Good morning, coach.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: And to have a rivalry game like this still in September,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: that's unique. How do you get your guys ready coming
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: off of a Saturday game on a short week to
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: play maybe their biggest rival?
• 52:56
  Speaker 15: Yeah, morning.
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: Appreciate it. Yeah, absolutely.
• 52:59
  Speaker 17: Great rivalry. I mean, you know, to go down in
• 53:01
  Speaker 17: the Popkini... And the neighborhood's going at it. It's a
• 53:06
  Speaker 17: great scene. And so you don't have to do anything
• 53:09
  Speaker 17: as far as getting them ready. One odd year, we
• 53:13
  Speaker 17: played week one with the way the schedule went years ago.
• 53:16
  Speaker 17: So both programs respect each other and have no problem
• 53:20
  Speaker 17: getting up for it.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: For those that are into high school football, maybe parents
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: or have followed it for a long time but don't understand,
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: what role does the head coach have in scheduling, especially non-conference,
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: but now you're into the league. Does the league rotate
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: when you play Bothell and how much sway do you
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: have on non-conference? Do you strike your own deals at
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: clinics in the off season or do you, in your case,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: leave it to your AD or collaboration? Yeah.
• 53:45
  Speaker 17: Non-conference, uh, coaches can have, uh, um, you know, good
• 53:50
  Speaker 17: say in that, uh, for sure. The, the conference games
• 53:53
  Speaker 17: though are awful difficult. Um, It's pretty much the 80s
• 53:56
  Speaker 17: put the schedules together with that.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm assuming that Bothell and Woodinville's players have played
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: together since they were peewees and they know each other
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: outside of the sport. Is that a good or bad thing,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: do you think, competitive-wise for a coach that these guys
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: know each other so well?
• 54:14
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, I feel like, you know, our programs
• 54:19
  Speaker 17: have the respect for each other. Both programs have been
• 54:23
  Speaker 17: solid year in, year out. And, you know, they've really
• 54:27
  Speaker 17: embraced the rivalry, getting after it. And, you know, I
• 54:32
  Speaker 17: think it's a good thing.
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: This is Coach Wayne Maxwell. He's the head coach at
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: Woodinville High School.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: They have a big rivalry game tonight in Washington State
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: against Bothell High School at Popkini Stadium, an iconic venue
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: here in our Seattle area.
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: We're highlighting this on our.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Weekly high school football focus on a Washington State Beef
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Commission football Friday. Wayne, just like Bothell and Tom Boehner's crew,
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: you went to Hawaii for your first game this summer.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Can you talk about the process? I think it may
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: be the second or third. You went to California a
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago as well. The process for that,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: you have fundraising, the parents, the boosters get involved. How
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: much it costs the players, where you stay, what do
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: you do, how long do you stay, the whole trip.
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: Could you just summarize for us how that went?
• 55:17
  Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely. We're just trying to give the kids a
• 55:20
  Speaker 16: great experience.
• 55:21
  Speaker 17: Their time is limited coming through and to be able
• 55:24
  Speaker 17: to give them.
• 55:25
  Speaker 16: Opportunities, opportunities together.
• 55:27
  Speaker 17: I look at it very similar to a bowl game
• 55:31
  Speaker 17: where kids are coming together, they're bonding, having great experiences.
• 55:36
  Speaker 16: And yeah, it's a great process.
• 55:38
  Speaker 17: It starts really in winter and they start contributing to
• 55:44
  Speaker 17: their financial aspects in March. So they have time to
• 55:47
  Speaker 17: kind of chunk it out. You know, it's just about
• 55:51
  Speaker 17: $ 3, 000 for each trip, but it covers everything, which I think,
• 55:57
  Speaker 17: you know, is really a great deal where it covers
• 56:00
  Speaker 17: all their food, all the entertainment, all the meals, the,
• 56:04
  Speaker 17: you know, the travel, the busing, everything. So yeah, fantastic trip.
• 56:10
  Speaker 17: You know, one thing I would highlight with our trip
• 56:13
  Speaker 17: It's our second time we've been to one of the
• 56:15
  Speaker 17: Hawaiian Islands. We've really done a great community aspect where
• 56:21
  Speaker 17: our communities come together and the team hosts us for
• 56:24
  Speaker 17: a meal. And just to see the cultures coming together,
• 56:28
  Speaker 17: it's pretty special. A comment by an admin from Waikia
• 56:32
  Speaker 17: High School was, this is our highlight of the year,
• 56:35
  Speaker 17: being able to host you and have you in our home.
• 56:37
  Speaker 17: And so it's cool just to sit back and see
• 56:40
  Speaker 17: it happen organically.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: And beside the football and beside the meal at the
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: visiting team or the home teams, what other off-field stuff
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: did you do and how long did you stay?
• 56:50
  Speaker 17: Yeah, we were there from Thursday to Monday. You know,
• 56:54
  Speaker 17: it was Labor Day weekend. And so, you know, we
• 56:59
  Speaker 17: did some cultural aspects, took them to some ruins that
• 57:04
  Speaker 17: was up in the Waimea area. Of course, we practiced
• 57:08
  Speaker 17: a couple times. different high schools, and we had interactions
• 57:10
  Speaker 17: with the programs there as well. It's pretty remarkable to
• 57:15
  Speaker 17: see the kids come together. Our first day at a
• 57:18
  Speaker 17: high school in Kona, how quick the kids could, you know,
• 57:21
  Speaker 17: they're having fun, the shadow boxing and doing all that stuff.
• 57:25
  Speaker 17: It just instantly brings them together. And then, of course,
• 57:28
  Speaker 17: we had a highlighted luau that was on our Sunday
• 57:32
  Speaker 17: night celebration, and that was really cool to see the
• 57:36
  Speaker 17: kids go through that.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: I can bet some of your linemen went to work
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: on the luau and the food at the luau.
• 57:42
  Speaker 16: Oh, absolutely. The coaches were loving it too.
• 57:46
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Just so listeners know, this was the week before school began.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: So it's not like they took Thursday and Friday and
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Monday off of school. School had yet to begin, which
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: is why, Wayne, I'm assuming that's why you scheduled game one, right?
• 57:59
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 57:59
  Speaker 17: Week one, school year is getting started. It kind of
• 58:01
  Speaker 17: depends on where the school year falls. We actually had
• 58:04
  Speaker 17: first couple of days of school, but you know, not
• 58:07
  Speaker 17: a bad time to start where you're just, you're kind
• 58:09
  Speaker 17: of ramping up in school and not, not much going on.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Another big picture question, if I may, on a game day,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: the way football has become specialized with seven on seven
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: camps and academies and the players that are trying to
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: reach the next level.
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: Where's your view on that?
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Do you encourage players to play other sports outside of
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: the football season? I know you have weightlifting and conditioning
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: as well in the off season, but where do you
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: stand on multiple sports and the specificity that high school
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: and youth sports have gone to lately?
• 58:39
  Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely.
• 58:40
  Speaker 17: I mean, we're huge on trying to push guys to
• 58:43
  Speaker 17: be multi-sport athletes and make it kind of, kind of
• 58:47
  Speaker 17: what high school sports are about and the whole high
• 58:50
  Speaker 17: school experience. Um, you know, we really try to push them, uh,
• 58:54
  Speaker 17: to get involved. Um, you know, we shoot, we love to,
• 58:58
  Speaker 17: to find other athletes and other sports come out and play.
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 59:01
  Speaker 17: Uh, Your short time you have through high school to
• 59:04
  Speaker 17: experience anything, uh go do it have fun uh enjoy
• 59:08
  Speaker 17: it absolutely so yeah we're 100 supportive of guys uh
• 59:13
  Speaker 17: doing other sports.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: I've officiated your games here the last couple years and
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: you have a kicker that i noticed pregame last week
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: was kicking like 50 some yards is he a soccer.
• 59:21
  Speaker 16: Player uh yeah he was he was a soccer player.
• 59:25
  Speaker 8: Uh what's his name we give him some pub.
• 59:27
  Speaker 17: Yeah yeah jordan um Jordan's awesome. You know, last year
• 59:32
  Speaker 17: was the first time he turned out for football. Never
• 59:35
  Speaker 17: done it before. And, you know, kind of the fact
• 59:38
  Speaker 17: that you mentioned this, bring this up. We've had three
• 59:42
  Speaker 17: other soccer players within the last couple of weeks actually
• 59:45
  Speaker 17: come out.
• 59:46
  Speaker 16: And, hey, I'm interested in doing so. Yeah, we'll have him.
• 59:50
  Speaker 16: We'll have him out. But Jordan, as far as his improvement.
• 59:54
  Speaker 17: Actually won our most improved player of the year last
• 59:57
  Speaker 17: year because he worked so hard to get to where
• 59:59
  Speaker 17: he is. And he's having a fantastic senior year so far.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Any players in particular you'd like to highlight, whether they're
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: leadership off the field.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 8: Or classroom or on the field in any way?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, we just, as a whole, we're, you know,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 17: the staff and the boys are really just enjoying our
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 17: time together. The culture piece is great. Obviously, again, like a,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 17: doing an experience like Hawaii where you go away and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 17: you're with each other and you got all the bonding.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 17: It's a great time to see the kids really kind
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 17: of come out of their shells. And, you know, some
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 17: of the guys leading the way for us, Lyman, Colin Chester,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 17: outside linebacker, Jonah Levengood, two guys that have really just
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 17: embraced the whole culture.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 16: Piece and team and family. And they're doing a great
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 16: job for us.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: I would remiss if I didn't mention the Woodinville High School,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: 44 strong. And I was told by some assistants of
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: the game I covered last week about that.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 8: Can you explain what 44 strong is and the legacy
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 8: it means at Woodinville high school? Yeah.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 16: Yeah. For us, it's, it's, it's a big deal.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 17: About 10 years ago, tragically, we lost a former player.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 17: Parker Moore was playing football down at Linfield university and,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 17: and tragic murder and his life. And really it just
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 17: kind of, It took a pause in everything with communities
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 17: coming together and seeing what's important with family. For us,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 17: moving forward, we just thought it's a great way to
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 17: highlight what football is all about with the family and support.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 17: Parker was exactly what Woodinville football was all about. Just
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 17: loving being with his family, whether it's workouts or football
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 17: or team meals, whatever that was. And so for us,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 17: it was an easy way to circle back what is
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 17: important about family and football and also, of course, to,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 17: you know, tribute to Parker and his legacy. So, yes,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 17: every year a player is selected to represent the number.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 17: And actually, the two gentlemen I mentioned represent 44. Lyman Chester,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 17: of course, has a sticker on his helmet. And then
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 17: Jonah is, of course, wearing the jersey.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Thank you for that, Coach, and thank you for bringing
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: his legacy. Okay, tonight, Tom, back onto the field. Tom
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Bader and his Bellevue crew, one of the powers in
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: the state. What's the key to victory tonight for Woodville?
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 17: Yeah, just, you know, playing within ourself as far as
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 17: you know, last year, or last week, we had some
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 17: unfortunate mistakes at our own hands. And we can't do
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 17: that versus a very, very good football team. Good physical
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 17: football team. Bothell, obviously, they want to run the football.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 17: We've got to be able to you know, hold them
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 17: as far as their rushing yards. And then, you know,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 17: when they do want to throw, they've got a nice
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 17: couple playmakers. So, of course, got to limit those explosives
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 17: for us. And then, you know, having a young group
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 17: on offense for us is just, again, kind of highlighting,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 17: you know, limiting mistakes for us. And, you know, we
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 17: like some matchups out there, and hopefully we can take
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 17: advantage of those.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 8: Coach Wayne Maxwell. I salute for what you do.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: I appreciate your sidelined demeanor and your professionalism when I've
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: officiated with you. And most of all, I appreciate all
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: the time you spend because it's a hell of a
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: lot of time you spend on these kids and our youth.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 8: And I appreciate you. Thank you.
• 1:03:23

  Speaker 2: Boehner has a job to do. He has a real
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: life and a real job, and we're in the middle
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: of the school day, and he's teaching. We got him
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline to talk live about Bothell
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: and Woodinville tonight. The Hall of Fame, Washington State Hall
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: of Fame coach, Tom Boehner, in his 27th year at
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Bothell High School. Coach, thanks a lot for doing this
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: on a game day. What's the key tonight to beating
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Woodinville in a rivalry game in early season?
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 15: Well, first of all, thanks for having me. And I apologize.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 15: You know, we have to model the school before the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 15: sports thing that we talk to our kids about all
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 15: the time. So I apologize for being tardy. The key
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 15: to being Woodinville is, you know, first of all, Woodinville,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 15: they're well coached. They come out with a different energy
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 15: when they play the blue guys over here. You know,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 15: we've talked about that and we're trying to match that
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 15: intensity and that focus. And, you know, I think it's execution, right?
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 15: You've got to You got to do the things that
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 15: you're planning on doing. You can't shoot yourself in the foot,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 15: so to speak, and make mistakes. And then you just
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 15: got to execute on the key moments and, you know,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 15: hope for the best outcome. But it'll be a fun
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 15: challenge for us tonight.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Like Wayne Maxwell's voice in Woodinville, you went to Hawaii
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: for your first game. Can you talk about that experience
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: and how that came about?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely. We've been traveling. We try to tell our
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 15: players that one time in your four years here, you
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 15: will travel somewhere. We went to Hawaii this year. Before that,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 15: we went to New York. Before that, we went to Denver, Colorado.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 15: We're just trying to get our kids like Wayne is.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 15: a life experience, an opportunity to see a different culture
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 15: or a different part of our country. For some of
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 15: our kids, it's the first time flying. For many, it
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 15: was their first time to Hawaii. Probably the least significant
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 15: thing we do on these trips is play a football game.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 15: Although it is important to us and we put time
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 15: into that, it's the experiences that we get with another
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 15: part of.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 15: Culture that many, many kids have never seen. We, we
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 15: had a great time like Wayne and his team did. We,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 15: we broke bread after our game with Moanalua and they
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 15: fed us. And, and then you get to see kids
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 15: interact with people they've never met. And it's really cool.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 15: It's a special thing. Our kids work hard for it.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 15: They raise the money on their own. And, and, and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 15: so I'm super excited to, to be able to do
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 15: that and be with them.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Tom Boehner, the Washington State Hall of Fame head coach
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: from Bothell High School, joining us on the day that
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Bothell and Woodinville play in a backyard North Shore rivalry
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: game tonight on 93.3 KJRFM. Tom, you've been doing this
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: 38 years, your 27th year at Bothell High School. Salute
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: to you for all the service to our young men
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: that are preparing them for life. Why do you do it?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: And what's the most rewarding thing you get out of it?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 15: Well, thank you for that. You know, They say that,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 15: you know, teachers and coaches can have an impact on
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 15: the life of their student athletes. And sometimes it's the
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 15: other way around, too. I do it because I love it.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 11: It is fun.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 15: I never say I go to work. I get to
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 15: go to school. You know, there are wonderful challenges, you know,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 15: in the classroom and on the football field. And I
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 15: think it's fun to be a part of a of
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 15: a group that, that challenges these young men and, and,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 15: you know, to try to, to try to bring out
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 15: the most of them where we're part of the village.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 15: And, uh, and, and it keeps us young. It keeps
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 15: us competing. It keeps us, you know, challenged as well. So, um, I,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 15: I would tell you simply, I, I love doing it.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 15: That's why I keep doing it. Wow.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Sats off to you, sir. Salute you. I know you're
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: a busy man. Thanks for doing this on a game day.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: Thanks for doing this in the middle of a work day.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: And honestly, salute to you. You don't do it for
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: the money. The hours you spend outside of the classroom,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: outside of the school, bus rides, plane rides with these kids,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: and you do it because you love it. Our society
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: needs more people like you, sir. Thank you very much.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 15: Thank you, and thank you for your support of high
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 15: school student-athletes. I appreciate it greatly.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Good luck tonight, Tom. Thanks a lot.

• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: KJR FM.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: You know the drumline music? That means I'm going to college.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Jessamyn on the show does NFL, so most times I
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: might lean college.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: You can dabble.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: I can.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: You can. You're not encroaching on any territory.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: NFL burned me last week with the Steelers-Patriots.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, so maybe you just don't want to.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: Steelers played their worst game I've seen them play in years.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: It was a Steeler bid. 20-3 loss to the Patriots.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to the campuses, and I'm going down
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home of multiple Olympics.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: John F. Kennedy has spoken there. Well, USC and Oregon
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: are playing there tomorrow at 4.30 in a national TV game.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: The Coliseum.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: The Ducks. I wish the Ducks would get beat by
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: a lot tomorrow. What they did to Portland State was ridiculous.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: 84 points.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: And still running offense up 77-0. I know it was
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: with their fourth string, but come on.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: That was pretty rough. That's like an end-the-game situation.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Take knees and get a turnover on downs.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous. So I wish the Trojans would beat them, but
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: the USC Trojans defense is awful. I mean, really bad.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: You know who scored 35 points on them last week? Rutgers. Oh, right, right, right, right.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: USC beat Rutgers 42-35. The over and under. I'm staying
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: away from the points, but the Ducks are favored by three.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm not sure how that's going to go. I
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: could see USC winning. But what I can see is
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: a shootout. If Rutgers could put 35 on USC, what's
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Oregon going to do to them? Oregon's going to put
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: at least 40 up, right? So that means that if
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: the over and under, the total points spread in this
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: game is 61.5. I think USC can score 22 points
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: on Oregon because I see Oregon getting 40 or more
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: on this USC defense. It just gave up 35 to Rutgers.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: So that's why I'm going over. 61.5 over. USC-Oregon over
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: 61.5 points. I know that's a lot of points, but man,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: is USC's defense bad.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 15: Bad, bad, bad.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: It's been for years. It's Lincoln Riley's big, big problem
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: down in USC. Why he hasn't won consistently most times
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: is because his defense has failed him. 61 and a
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: half USC Oregon. Take the over. If you agree with me,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: I want to win a thousand dollars. Text fact to 49451.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: If you disagree, text fiction to 49451. You have 12
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: minutes from right now to text in USC Oregon over
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: 61 and a half points. That means I think both
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: teams are going to combine for 62 or more points.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: And you can win $ 1, 000.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: I think that's actually a very good fact.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: I hate to give that many points. But, man, the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: Rutgers 35 thing just keeps sticking out at me.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: I hate that Rutgers has become the punching bag of
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: the Big Ten.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 15: They have.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: I've been growing up in the vicinity of it and
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 5: have friends who have coached there.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: My brother-in-law played for them.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, everyone makes fun of Piscataway, New Jersey.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a should.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Exit 12.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: I do, too. Yes, we all know it.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: Except I just feel bad for the program because they
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: haven't really had a chance to thrive in a very
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 5: long time.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: And now the conference got stronger.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: The Lincoln Rileys don't have defense. That's why I'm taking
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: this pick. Oregon and USC, over 61.5 points. If you agree,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: text FACT to 49451. If you disagree, text FICTION to 49451.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: The next chance to win will be 2.35 p.m. with
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Ian Furness. Dave Softy-Muller and Dick Fane will have another
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: pick at 3.35. Remember, you only have to win once.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: And then the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel will give
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: you $ 1, 000 if your name is drawn on Monday. The
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: guy or gal who wins the most between now and
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: December 11th, Army-Navy Friday in New York City, Jessamyn McIntyre,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: that will be broadcast live from Times Square. Whoever wins
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: the most between now and then will win $ 10, 000 from
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. Real quickly to the
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: text line. A ton of text about the Mariners. I mean,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 11: A lot.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: We do have some talkbacks as well.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: Let's get to those first because I love hearing more voices.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: Getting there.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 11: Here we go.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: Those stinky green guys. First off, go blue, 1-0, go Bothell,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: beat Woodinville. Those stinky green guys.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: But, Greg, Scott.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: Service was an active coach in Major League Baseball. He
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: was a bench coach. He was on many, many staffs.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's the same as Dan Wilson. Dan
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: Wilson was just a puppet to begin with. He was
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: like a spring training mascot. Scott and Dan are.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: Don't talk about the Mariners without talking about the franchise
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: value increasing $ 100 million a year. Yep.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 7: Compounded.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: That's where the big money is.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 7: It's not on operations.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 11: Well, let's change the subject line.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: If by some miracle the Mariners make it to the
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: World Series in the near future, please invite Rick Riz
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: back into the booth as an announcer.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: That would be lots of fun.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: Also, my kids graduated from Bothell High School. Go Cougars!
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: Go Cougs!
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: Cougs everywhere!
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: Love it!
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 5: I forgot about that valuation that continues to rise.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: While their payroll remains in the bottom half of the league.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: And they get luxury tax revenue from the teams that
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: spend the most. 206. No one is ever coming to
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: save the M's. Whether we're talking free agent players or
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: field manager, everyone in pro baseball knows about Kevin Mahler,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: Jerry 54% to Poto, the ESPN F grade for the season,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: manager hiring track record, national broadcast the other day confirming
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: T-Mobile is one of the worst parks for hitters. Historically
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: worst failure in one season by the team and the
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: team's MVP, proven track record of ignoring the on-field product
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: in favor of profits. Man, that's a summation, isn't it?
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 16: 206.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: We annoy players before they actually do anything. This team
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: needs a manager that brings energy and accountability. We make
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: way too many mental errors. Ownership needs to add depth.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: So when someone needs to be benched, they have a
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: viable major league caliber replacement. That's an interesting point. If
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: you bench Julio Rodriguez, you're bringing in some triple A
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: or 2A or 4A guy. That's a good point.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: And for Ness, thanks for the text. Thanks for rolling
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: with the scheduling. Thanks for Tom Boehner for rolling out
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: of class. It sounded like he might have been in
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: the hallway.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 5: I think he was. He was in the class when
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: he called back.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: That's classy.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: That is very classy.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: And for those of you on the text line asking,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: why do I do high school sports? Because those guys care.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: They deserve to be highlighted because of the work they
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: do for the youth of our country. preparing them to
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: be young adults, and I want to highlight them.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 17: I do.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: And we will continue to do so.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: If you don't like it, change the channel. I'm not
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: making you listen. Point blank. I'm just going to tell
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: it straight. If you don't like it, don't bitch on
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: the text line. Just don't listen.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: Simple.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: Don't be a miserable schmuck that wants to tell me
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: how bad I am because I'm putting high school. Who
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: cares about high school coaches?
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 11: I do.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: And a lot of the people.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: And parents and alums and a lot.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Of people do.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: So sit down. Up next, Ian Furness. He'll join us,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: talk about what his weekend is, what he's got on
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: today at 12 to 3 on 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: with Greg Bell on your.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: Home for the NFL. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Hi,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: welcome back. A packed show today. If you missed our
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: interview with Tom Boehner, the Hall of Fame coach from
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Bothell High School. One of the best. He's been there
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: for 27 years. What a program. We're getting a lot
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: of text here about Tom Boehner. Hey, I played for
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: Tom Boehner. What a pleasant surprise to hear him.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 7: I love what you guys are doing.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. There's some chucks on there that don't
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: like it, but that's okay. I had to air them
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: out a little bit.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 7: Can I?
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 6: Stop.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: Just for a second. Ian Furness, by the way.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 7: Sports radio is an interesting beast. It is. In some ways,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 7: it's like watching SportsCenter or any other show that has
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 7: to do with sports, unless it's like, hey, a pregame
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 7: show for football or college football or basketball or hockey
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 7: or baseball, whatever. It should be kind of a potpourri
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 7: of different things, right? It should be a grab bag.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 7: You should be, if we're doing our jobs correctly, all
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 7: due respect to the newspapers, the newspapers used to do that.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, they did.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 7: They don't do it anymore.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 16: No.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, the local paper in Seattle only covers two teams.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, three.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: Three.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 7: UW football, Mariners, Seahawks. It's been well-documented this week. Everyone's
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 7: losing their mind, right?
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 7: You're not servicing your readers.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 8: Soccer.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: They're dropping soccer in this community? And hockey. And hockey.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 7: And everything else.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: The Comenews Tribune.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 7: UW men's basketball, not going to have a full-time beat.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: The Comenews Tribune covers high school sports and the Seahawks.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 7: And that's where I was going to go. When, at
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 7: one point in time... When Lauren and Millis were both
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 7: at the News Tribune, Mason Kelly was at the Seattle Times.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 15: That's right.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 7: You had a Saturday paper in the South Sound and
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 7: a Saturday paper in Seattle that had all the high
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 7: school scores.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: Photos, game stories.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 7: Stories from some of the big games. We had stringers
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 7: covering from Yelm to Centralia. That's what a newspaper should do,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 7: especially the newspaper of record. Instead, we cover NFL and
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 7: MLB and sometimes college football. It's sad, but I get
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 7: back to sports radio. In sports radio, we should be
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 7: doing a lot of different things. Now, listen, it's, people
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 7: ask me all the time, like, what do you do?
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 7: I said, well, listen, it's Taylor Swift. Like you, Taylor
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 7: Swift of the Seahawks. That's what you, that's on your playlist.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 7: Most of the time. But it doesn't mean you can't
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 7: squeeze in some other interesting things, especially good stories like
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 7: Tom Boehner. If you don't know who Tom Boehner is,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 7: you don't care, then you're probably new to the area.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: Maybe you should invest a little bit more in the community.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: Or you don't have kids or you're not married because
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: you are a type of person who's hateful and doesn't
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: have people that would love you.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's not pick on the singles out there.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 7: But all that's true.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 7: I think it's great.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 7: Dick Fane does the Friday night show now, Varsity Football Live.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 7: We brought that back. I love that. I say this often,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 7: and Jess knows this, and Purple Sheet would agree. He
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 7: would really agree. I may not be the best company guy.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: I think you're saying that on the radio.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 7: I may not be the best company guy. Since I
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 7: got here in 2006, one of the coolest things that
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 7: I've always thought about this radio station that differentiates us
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: from the other stations and station, we've always had a
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 7: high school presence, football, basketball specifically, including the girls' basketball.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 7: And I think that's a really important thing for our community,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 7: and I'm glad we do that. And Dick's got the
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 7: show tonight at 10. You do the thing every week.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 7: That's a big game tonight, by the way.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 7: Popkini be jamming.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: Popkini is a cool spot, man. It's a cool spot.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: Friday night lights. Let's go.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: Popkini is the one place that reminds me of Ohio
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: high school football.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: I'll say this.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 7: There's others.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: There are.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 7: Lake Stevens.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: I have yet to be there. Is better. I've heard that.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 7: Lake Stevens, I think, is better.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: I need to get up there. Shout out to Lake Stevens.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: I need to get up there.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: That's the hot.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: Take of the day.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 7: Lake Stevens is a better high school football atmosphere than Popkini.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: Come at me. I need to get up there. What
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: do you got to say? You got Danny O'Neal?
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 7: Danny O'Neal at 120 today. He's got some Mariners thoughts
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 7: and Graham Bensinger thoughts. Give me 20 seconds. I missed
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 7: the tease.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Graham Bensinger lied. He didn't give the Seahawks five days
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: to review that. He gave them about 25-30 minutes. He
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: just gave them a link. Here's what we're showing. In
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: case you can't find it. You should never get another
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: interview from a name again. Okay, Danny O'Neill, he's got
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: thoughts on that. I'll have to bring that up to
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: Danny because I don't know if he knows that. So
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: we've got that coming up. Greg Cosell, 1220. What does
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: the tape say, Jess? What does the tape say?
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, Greg, I have to call him.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 7: Rob Rang at 2 o'clock. Factor Fiction as well, all
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 7: coming up today.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: Ian's Cougs are against Arizona tomorrow at Martin Stadium. The
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: Huskies are playing Minnesota at Husky Stadium at 8 o'clock.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: I'm headed on a plane to Washington, D.C. for Seahawks
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: and Commanders. You'll hear from me from the East Coast
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: on Monday morning. Ian's up next. Have a great weekend.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: Thanks for everything. Thanks for the talkbacks. Thanks for the
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: input on 93.3 KJRFM.
