  Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday morning, Bucky's least favorite.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Day of the week.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I always forget to put my mic on,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: apparently on Tuesdays. Yet I'm not a fan of Tuesdays,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: really am not. And it did not change even with
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: a little bit of time off. Unfortunately.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I got a little hint for you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I got a little tip for it's so, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a little background on my like morning schedule. So I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: have two alarms that's set. I want it three thirty
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and then won it three forty five, okay, and so
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: if I decide to go to the three forty five,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I give myself that little bumper and that's it. Well,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: today I got up at three thirty. And then here's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the other part of my morning. I don't really leave
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the house until something natural that leaves my body occurs.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That's usually the routine. And whenever that happens, then I leave. Okay,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: because it's almost clockwork, but it's not exactly clockwhow if
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it was you tracking me, So when that happens then
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I leave the house. Well, unbeknownst to me, all of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this happened because I kind of I got up at
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the three thirty today and it it triggered everything to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: happen earlier, a little bit earlier. So I've even lost
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: track of time at this stage. And I get my car,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I got time today. I am like
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: early and didn't even realize it by the time I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: got in the car.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And Ashley will be very proud of me. I stopped
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: even though I didn't need it. I stopped and got gassed.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Oh good work.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I had a few extra minutes, and I'm like, you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm not gonna want to do this tomorrow
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: or the next day. So while I've got a few
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: extra minutes, I'm going to do it. And I got
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to tell you, just doing that little bit, I drove
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: in here feeling like the most accomplished person in the world.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, now I get what those military ads were
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: all about. I have done more before five am than
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: most people do all day.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I filled up my gas tank. Wow, so you are
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: really kicking ass on Tuesday. Good for you, you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Know, just you know, ten extra minutes and look what
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it did. It just unlocked. I mean, think about all
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the things I got done today. Yeah, I filled my
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: gas tank.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I filled my gas tank. Yeah yeah, and I filled
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: my gas tank.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Wo yeah. Boy, it is all downhill from here.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Oh. But the nice thing is you don't have to
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: accomplish anything else for the rest of the day.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I did it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I started and finished. You know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the kitchen project that I had planned. Yeah, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like I just got it all done today.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: You know what, I'm going to set a million bucks
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I'm because of this. I'm going to set my alarm
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: for half an hour earlier from now on, just hoping
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that I can also have a wonderful start to my
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: day because I have all this extra time before work starts.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Right, Who knows what you can get done. I don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: know that novel you've been wanting to work on. You
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: can get that done tomorrow.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I need to log on for a bit
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: more than thirty extra minutes.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, No, No, that's you. Just it's a little
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: extra time as.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Long as you get gassed too, because that's really how
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: you accomplish everything.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: It is, well, well, wait, as it checks something off
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the box, chack a box that you were going to
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: have to do right now next time. You're like, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: would probably need to be getting cash right now, But
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I don't right to celebrate this multiple times. It's the
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: gift that keeps on giving at least one more time.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I honestly though, I mean all seriousness, taking the tongue
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: out of cheek. I don't know why we do this
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to ourselves. And I'm pointing at me. I'm gonna look
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in the mirror and say this, But like stuff like this,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it does make you feel a lot better just to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: get a couple of things done. I mean, in the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: big picture, who gives a damn? You know, you filled
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: up your gas tank. But it did make me feel better. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: like to have that done when I didn't even need
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to do it. It's just like when we well, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I used to run, and I haven't run in a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: while because I don't want to start the process all over.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be reminded of how out of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: shape I've gotten when I used to be in such
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: great cardiovascular shape. But that thrill that we get because
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of the twenty minutes of suffering that we put ourselves
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: through the thrill that we get. Because you get to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: enjoy that for the rest of the day, you feel
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: like you're floating on air. And I don't know why
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I don't do it. I don't know why I don't
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just get up five minutes.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Earlier every day.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I don't just run twenty minutes
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: every day, because it does kind of change your entire
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: like mindset and outlook going forward. It's crazy, Well, you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: why we're resistant to feel that game.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: You know who I'm married to. You guys both know Kate,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: and she is a go getter. She she sets goals
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and she she achieves goals. A big part of what
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: she does is she journals, right. She likes to write
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: down what she wants to do, and she goes back
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: and checks it and then she, you know, kind of
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: makes sure she's on track to accomplish short term goals
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: and midterm.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Goals and long term goals and all that kind of stuff. Yeah.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want to write that much.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say you're way you like writing things,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to sit and take the time
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: to write in a journal. But I have adopted something
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: that's a very junior arsity version of what she does.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I have on my phone.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I have a journal that has a few important things
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: that I want to be able to accomplish, like on
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: a daily basis, and so daily I go through it
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and I basically it's all pre checked. And if I
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: just have done what I wanted to do, I just
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: sit yep, yep, and it just fills it out for me, right, so.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Then I can go back and process.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's a process.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: But one of them is is, you know, have you
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: spent some time alone, right and like just thought within
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: your own head? And yes, that sounds wonderful, it's dangerous,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: it's a dangerous place to be, you know. Have you
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: had some uh you know, spiritual time for myself? Along
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: those lines? Have you accomplished a goal? This is towards
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the lines of what you have you accomplished? Have you
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: made steps towards accomplishing a goal that you have? And
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: that's a big one because that's one that I'm actually
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: sometimes I'm just hit yes on the thing. I even
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: cheat on my journal, but that one I won't that
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: one I won't do.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: Like if I didn't accomplish.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Anything, I will check no on it, I will check no,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and then I feel disappointed in myself.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: But when I have done something, when you do get
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to check it off, it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Is an amazing feeling. How you're like, right, well, there
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: you go, because it actually now the journaling basically going
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: towards what Kate's idea behind it was, is it kind
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: of sets you up for you have an opportunity to
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: succeed and you're going to have to hold yourself accountable
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to said goal, whatever it is, and if you do it,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: then you do feel accomplished.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Working out in there is one of them.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: It's the one word.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: That's another one where I won't cheat, so I can
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: go back and look at it and be like, good job.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Four out of seven days last week you worked out
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that I feel like I'm making them. I'm moving in
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the right direction. If it's two or one, then I'm like,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: you're a lazy ass.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: And so it's just kind of one of those.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: So it's one of those almost kind of raining yourself
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: in and trying to get going in the direction to
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: where you do have that positive feeling at the end
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: of a day.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know why we resist it because it's not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: like a big achievement. But it is just like check,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about this for a while.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That's done, and you feel so much better having done it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. We just don't do things paying
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: bills on time, like getting ahead of bills.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I never do that. I always take it up to
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: like the last day.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, because that rare time that you're
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: just like, I just to get this done.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I've got a few minutes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: You feel better about your weeks. Yeah, And when the
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: day comes when you normally would pray the bills, you're.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Like, so glad I did that ten days ago.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Why do I do that every month?
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I don't. And then I don't. I don't know why.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But you get that app on your phone and maybe
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I will just little my bills ten days early. The
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: sports Pig.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Have you ever heard me talk about the sports pig?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Mike response, God rest his soul. He used to tell
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: me when I was a young kid trying to achieve
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: things and had big goals in mind, he was like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: truck the.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Kate of life has limited expectations. As long as you
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: have limited expectations, you're always achieving.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, just don't set your goals too high.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Well, there's a little truth to that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I just set a goal of have lunch, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: then when I have lunch, I feel like I've achieved something.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: Philosopher accomplished goals for me.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Uh well, sports Pig wasn't a real co getter. I
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: mean his nickname was the sports Yea. All right, well,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: welcome in. Uh yeah, I'm just I'm feeling so good
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: about myself.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: You should.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you really, And you're one for one in waste
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: paper basketball.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: One for one probably had something to do with it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Probably feel like I'm on my game today you are
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a yeah, and I'm gonna later today get to go
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: down to my car like full gas bank.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I don't have to do that for a while. Yeah.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: Carry you through the day.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I am kicking life's ass right now. Really are what
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I'm doing.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And we got a lot to accomplish here today. So
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: today is not just fill your gas tank day. It
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is also franchise tag day in the National Football League.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: This is it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: This is the last day that you have to decide
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: whether or not you're going to ruin a football player's life,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: apparently by giving him millions of dollars and paying him
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: an average salary of the top fibers players at his
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: position in the league, and it will anger him so
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: much to be thought of so highly.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But that is the practice here today.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Franchise dag day is here, and let's face it, the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Seahawks don't like to do it. And I think only
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: part of that is that they know the players don't
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: like it, But I think most of it is I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: just don't think they they see the benefit of the practice.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But other franchises like the Dallas Cowboys seem to use
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it annually. But today is the last day that if
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you do want to tag somebody so that they can't
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: reach free agency without a boltload of draft compensation being
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: given to you in exchange, well you can do that.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys are expected to do it to George Pickens,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the Jets are expected to do it to Brease Hall.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks are not expected to do it with ken Walker,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: even though they could. And so you know, we've had
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: this discussion for weeks. Obviously there's no movement on the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: ken Walker. We've signed him front. We are five days
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: away from the tampering period beginning. Greg Bell has said
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: once he hits that stage, and I don't disagree with
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Greg that there's no way that I mean not no way,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: but more than likely he will not come back because
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: he's going to be able if he's wants to explore
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: his market, he's going to find out that there's a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: team out there that will pay him more than what
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are willing to. So can the Seahawks come
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: up with an offer good enough to entice him to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: stay where he's.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Liked, maybe even loved on a Super.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Bowl championship team and a young Super Bowl championship team
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that might be able to do this routinely. Can they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: give him a good enough financial offer to satisfy him
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: personally before we hit.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Monday?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: And if you doubt that, Bucky, you do have the option.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The NFL has given you the option to say, all right,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we don't want to give you the contract offer you're
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: asking for that keeps you from the free agent market,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: but we do want to keep you from the free
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: agent market.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: So tag you're it week.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You're going to make fourteen and a half million dollars
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: for one season, and one season alone, you're not going
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to go anywhere, and we aren't invested deeply forty million
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: deep into keeping you when we're not sure we really
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: want to do that, So last day to do it, what.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Do you think, Well, I mean they got to be
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: mulling it over simply because of the fact that the guy,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the next guy in line, you know, just you know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: got injured in the playoffs, you know, Zach Charmon, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you have. You have other options,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: you have free agency, you have the draft. You could
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: address the situation. They're not going to play without a
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: running back if this doesn't pan out today or or
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: in the long term aspect, and that he does it
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: free agency and go somewhere else. I mean, it's just
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: bottom line is it's just a it's a business, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: there's only amount of money that the team gets to spend.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: And how much do they think they're wanting to spend
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: on that position and that player specifically for that position.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, fourteen million dollars is a lot. That's why
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: the franchise tag is there. That's why I don't really
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: understand why people get irritated.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: They get mad about it. I think because it doesn't
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: give them the.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Long term look at what it's it's not they want
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: a four year deal with you know, say twenty million
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: dollars guaranteed versus fourteen million dollars. Well, if the four
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: year deal is if you get that all the way
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: to fruition, let's just say it's forty million dollars. Yeah,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: that's a lot better than fourteen. But you still get
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: a chance to be in the same position next year
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: next year being twice as rich as you are.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, he only makes the football aspect. Yeah, this
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: is the rough and tumble football. What if I get
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: hurt and I never do get that big contract, This
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: is my one I mean a lot of you view it,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and they should. I mean, when you think about the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: lifespan of a professional football player, they view it as
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: this is my one chance, my first time to be
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a free agent. Might be I want an only chance
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to make as much money as I can playing in
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the National Football League. So I don't want a one
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: year contract when somebody else out there I know is
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: willing to give me four years and a big signing.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: The other way to look at it, and I agree
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: with you, and most certainly the aspect of the NFL,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: where it's not a matter of if you're going to
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: get hurt. It's a matter of when you're going to
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: get hurt, and it's a matter of when the little
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: knicks and bumps and bruises, the collisions that you go through,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: when those add up to the toll where you're done,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: where you just as running back, you lose a half
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: step and you're no longer of worth to anyone.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And running back is the most it's the worst, it's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the biggest example of them all. That's why running backs really,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, there have been I've even discussed and reckless
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of breakfast that running backs should have completely different rules
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: than everybody else. If we're going to hold it against them,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna have biases against them, if we're going
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to believe that they're going to break down more so
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: than any other position, then maybe we shouldn't be allowed
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to franchise tag.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Right, right, And yet the other side of looking at
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: it would be, I mean, ken Walker's made over eight
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: million dollars eight and a half million dollars about in
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: his four years, which is not much, but then again,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: that's your your rookie contract. You come out, you get
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: paid two million dollars a year. Used to should still
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: be good having made eight million dollars so far in
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: your life. If you don't play another day, right, you
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: should like to give it a go.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna it's a challenge, but let's do it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, imagine how good that would feel. I mean,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I'm walking on cloud nine if just because they have
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a full gas tank.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I made money for.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: That shill ends and he gets signed to a two
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: million dollars a year deal.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I tell you what, if Richmore comes in here and
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: puts a franchise tag on me for fourteen million, there
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: ain't gonna be one piss on one part of me
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: that's going to be mad in the slightest and so
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: to me, the other way of looking at it, which
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I think, all, well, maybe not all. Some of the
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: football players that get a franchise tag slapped on them,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: they end up coming to the realization of Okay, I
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: have eight million dollars in my bank right now. At
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: the end of this season, one season, I'm gonna have
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: twenty two million dollars.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I should even be.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: More okay with the fact that long term I should
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: be fine as long as I'm not an idiot with
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: my money. And I also, if I go out and
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: stay healthy first and foremost, which is where their biggest
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: concern is. And I put up good numbers, I get
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to do it again, but even better. Now it's not
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: a question of whether or not the team I'm with
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: is going to pay me big money or is another
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: team going to pay me big money? If you go
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: out and put up another good season, right, just go
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: out and have a career year. Now, all of a sudden,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: you're talking you're gonna get paid big time, because it's
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: almost if you get franchise tagged in your fifth season.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Going into your fifth season like he is, you're still
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: young enough, not in football terms, but you're still young
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: enough that you could get that big payday. After you
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: make a big payday, because like you said, the average
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: of the top five people, top five running backs is
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: nothing to scoff at it fourteen million bucks.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I'll tell you this.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: If I'm Ken Walker and I wake up today, if
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I'm wanting a long term deal, then maybe I'm coming
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: down off my numbers so I can stay where I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: at and I don't have to go through the process,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: or I'm gonna say no, I'm not going to And
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: then if they end up slapping the franchise tag on me.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be okay with making fourteen million bucks this year.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna hope that I stay healthy and I'm gonna
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: really cash in next year.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I would think he would have to be okay with
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: with the amount of money, because I think fourteen and
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: a half is probably more than he would get from anyone.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: I keep saying that, I think the Seahawks would Yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: per year. I keep saying the Seahawks should go to
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: twelve and that's about it.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't go higher than that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: That's why I don't think that they would do the
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: franchise tag because I don't think they would want to
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: pay him the fourteen and a half, even though it
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: is only for one year and you're not guaranteeing him
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: a lot of money long term.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: I just don't see them putting the tag on him.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the point, I mean, I think
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the discussion is moot. I mean, yes, I think it's
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: worth having on franchise Tag Day just to discuss as
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: sports fans, well, should they Yeah?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Will they? To me? That's a hard no. I don't
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: think they're going to do it.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And part of the reason is is because when you
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: do sign someone to a franchise tag, that entire amount
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: on a franchise tag goes against your salary cap that year.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: You don't get to manipulate it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And the NFL executives are all about, you know, it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: not real math, special math. They're all about manipulating it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So pushing it here and pushing it there. But if
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: it's fourteen and a half that you're paying him for
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: this season, every cent of that goes up against your
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: salary cap this year. So that's one reason not to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: do it. Another reason is because it does piss off
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the player. And another reason is that the Seahawks just
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they've done it twice in the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: John Schneider era. They just don't just not something that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: they like to do. So we'll see, I mean, I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: not no, Actually we won't see. He's not going to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: get tagged today. But doesn't mean you don't have the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: conversation about whether or not it would be a good idea,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: because you do risk losing him if he gets to Monday.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Unsigned.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap. For the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: rest of the show.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: What's on Tell? What's on Tell? All right?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell will join us at seven oh five. We'll
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: ask him about that. Also, some Seahawk rumors involving a
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: trade for a star pass rusher by the name of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Max Crosby, which we will cover here today. NFL free
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: agency tampering does begin in five days. That's right, We're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: gonna get our tamp on on Monday. It's the NFL's
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: most turbulent period, the Monday and Tuesday before NFL free
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: agency begins. That's the real frenzy is when we get
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: our tamp on on Monday morning. So yeah, I actually
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: can't wait for that, is it? Yes, Tampafest is one
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: of my favorite times of the entire year. And to
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: think it's not even the headline countdown to WBC also
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is going on this week. Like I said, this is
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: kind of a ramp up week for a lot of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: cool things in the sports world. There will be some
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Team USA action today. The Mariners are also playing today.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Mariners are taking on the Angels, Brian Wu pitching.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: At noon. Team USA plays a exhibition game for their
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: exhibition tournament. They're doing that today. A lot of countries
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: are doing that. A lot of franchises are doing that
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: against countries. So that starts today and then I think.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: The first real WBC game happens on Wednesday. US doesn't
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: play until Friday, count down to college basketball's conference championship week,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and of course that's the real March madness. To me,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: this is where the madness begins. It's when you start
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: playing games almost every day, and their elimination games to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: one degree, that's what March madness is all about. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so that's getting underway everywhere. It's not I mean conference.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: This is the end of the regular season for a
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: lot of conferences, but some are gearing up right now
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: for their conference championships, including the WCC. The Coogs and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Zags are done for the regular season, so the next
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: game they will play will be a tournament game. High
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: school hoops state title this weekend. Our boss Rich Moore
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: brought up in the meeting yesterday about my twenty six
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and oh team, I can't.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Believe he over. I can't believe he knew that just
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: from my background.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he really doesn't thorough research of me before he
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: hired me.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: I think it's been mentioned before.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, I've never brought that up, no once. Yeah, but
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: he knew that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: He knew that I had a twenty six and oh
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: high school basketball team.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: He really does vet his likes me.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I have looked at your Wikipedia.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Page something something that was surprising and countdown to NHL

• 22:43

  Speaker 1: to add here before the trading deadline.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: And boy, they got a.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Boost toward that front yesterday because that was one of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the biggest wins of the year for the Seattle Kraken.

  Speaker 1: So be listening every single hour for your opportunity to
• 24:26

  Speaker 1: giving these away? March twelfth against the Avalanche? Well, who

• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and take on the Avalanche. On March twelfth, which is
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: just nine days away. Fantastic match up there. This team's
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: just weird. Gosh, I'm never never ever I got Maybe
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say I never ever because there it's very
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: kind of Mariner like the last few years, like we're
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: gonna play just but the Mariners would do it a
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: month at a time. We're gonna play a month of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: crappy baseball. We're gonna make you all think we're out
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of it, and then we're gonna win every.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Game in July and August, yeah, and get your hopes up,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: and then we'll see about the playoffs.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So even so, that's the way that they've happened. They've
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: they've performed in the last few years, but in one
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: season to go hot and cold like this team can
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I mean those first two games, I mean described by
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the not by Ashley or I last week, but by
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: every expert. We had a different expert on every single
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: day last week. That's the worst they've played all season long,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: when we thought it was when they needed to play
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: their best coming out of this three week layoff, and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: then they just crap the bed like two games in
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: a row, and Frank, well, if I'm being honest. I'm like,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: this team doesn't have what it takes. They're not gonna
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: get it done. They can't afford another one of these
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: losing streaks. And that seems like exactly what we're getting
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: ready for. I've seen this movie before. And instead they
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: come back with a lopsided win Saturday, and then they
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: beat one of the best teams in the NHL last
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: night two to one.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, who can figure them out? I can't.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I when talking to Mule when we
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: were down at spring training, He's, uh, you know, Pete
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: the one of the clubbies for the Mariners.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: He's a big kracking fan.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: He'd only missed a couple of games before he had
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: to head down there and help take care of all
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the Seattle Mariners. And yet I was asking him what
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: does he think, and he's like, boy, I got a
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: tough schedule coming out of the break. And then you
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: don't know what you're gonna do. Coming out of that
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Olympic break. Some of the guys were playing for their teams.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: It's like the WBC. Other guys were basically chilling. They
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: had this off time, and so you don't know how
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: you're gonna come back, And I suppose maybe we should
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: have seen it coming that this team the inconsistency, Like
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: you said, sometimes they're on fire and they're getting points
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: every single night for two weeks, and then they go
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: into a spell where they can't score for they can't
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: you know, even and muster a point and get a tie.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And so I don't know what I mean.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: I can't watch it and say it's because of this
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: or it's because of that. But watch them last night.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: You play that brand of hockey. You can play with anybody,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: and that's I guess that's a good sign. I mean,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: like you said, that's the one of the better teams
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: in the NHL. I think they have the best record
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: or the most points in the Eastern Conference. If you
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: can go out there and play them like that, then
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: you're you're onto something. You have the ingredients of what
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: it takes to be competitive. You just have to figure
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: out a way to be consistent. Yet I don't know
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: exactly where the inconsistency starts and stops.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: They were kind of like gnats last night, just kind
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: of everywhere, Yeah, exactly, annoying the Hurricanes, and it was
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: fun to watch. I wish we would have seen that
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: in the first two games, and it almost seemed like it,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: especially in those first two games, that they were just
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: kind of bumbling, you know, they were in each other's way.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they were in each other's way.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: They were just not not in sync, not on the
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: same page. I mean, after that Saint Louis loss, somebody
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I heard the word embarrassment, like, this is an embarrassment
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: that we lost this game this way. And you wouldn't think,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: coming off those two games and that embarrassment of a loss,
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: that you're going to go into you know, Vancouver and
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: dominate them the way he did. And then to face
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Carolina like that last night was really awesome.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: And I just wonder what happened in that locker.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Room between Saint Louis and the Vancouver game that they
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: were like, all right, this is ridiculous.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, this a team that does not have
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of offensive firepower, and I realized that Lane
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Lambert wants to see them take more shots. They only
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: had fifteen shots on goal last night. And I'll win
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: over one of the best teams in the NHL, and
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the Hurricanes just pepper the net. They had thirty six.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: We got our shot thirty six to fifteen. I'll tell
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you why the Cracking won last night. Now, whether or
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: not you can repeat this brand of hockey game after
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: game consistently enough to make it to the playoffs and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: then win in the playoffs, I don't know. I can't
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: answer that for you. But as much as Lane wants
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to open up the offense a little bit, the truth
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: of the matter is the way that this team is
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: built and constructed, they're probably better off playing a game.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Like they were last night.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: That was a very physical, defensive game without committing penalties.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: So in other words, we are going to rough them up.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I mean ed Zo we can call him ed Zone
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: now because we're such great friends. Now, ed Zoe was
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: saying last night, I mean went on and on like
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: alexiak better be one of the three stars.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Now, that's a guy.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: The behind the scenes, all the Cracking people criticized because
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: he's a monster and he's not physical enough, and yet
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: last night he was crushing people and he was It
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: was of the way that they played. I mean, they
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: had thirty one hits to Carolinas thirteen and yet committed
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: one penalty the entire night.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Well, that penalty kind was necessary at the time too.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: You're right, they almost had to do that and then
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: had to hold on. But great goaltending from Decord, very
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: physical play without making the mistake of a turnover, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I mean it leaves a very thin margin for error.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to win two to one one nothing,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to win tight games, and you're gonna
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on your goaliad doing it
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that way. But I don't know, I'm wondering if that's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: not the way that they have to win hockey games,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: maybe you can't repeat it that. Maybe, Bucky, you can't
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: play that physically. You know, the Seahawks and the Legion
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: of Boom they played very physical and they just counted
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: on you not calling as many penalties as they committed.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you can continue to play
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that physical and not cross the line and give power
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: play after power play. But that was one of the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: most physical games they've played all season long, and they
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: ended up winning it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Big Rig was on fire last night.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think he was one of the stars
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: of the game, and you'd like to be able to
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: see him play like that more often.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's physically you just can't do that. Maybe it's
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: like impossible to do it on back to back nights,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: but even every other night when if you do have
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: a day off in between, maybe it's just too much
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: to do over the course of the full season. It
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: seems to me like the blueprint would be it'd be
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: nice to have more goal scoring, right like, because then
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: you can have a bad day, or your defense or
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: your goaltender can be less than perfect and you can
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: still find a way to get a point or get
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: two points out of it. It just seems like that
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: would be the blueprint that everybody would want. Well, if
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: you don't have that, if that's just not what you are,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: you're not a team that's going to go out there
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: on a regular basis, you know, put five, you know,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: pucks in the back of the net. Then you're going
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: to have to do it the gritty way, the ugly way.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: And that's what they did yesterday. It was against a
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: team that was you knew was gonna you know, there's
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: not a shot that they don't like, they're going to
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: put a lot of stuff on goal. Well, then you're like, Joey,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: you got to stand on your head. You've got to
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: be unbelievable. The rest of you guys, you got to
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: figure out a way to not commit penalties because if
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: you're playing a man down, then you're going to give
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: up a goal.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: And we saw it in the two to one game.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: You didn't have any margin Forrayer.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you another thing, Ben Myers and Jacob Milanson,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the physicality, the energy that they brought to this roster.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Since they were at it, I realized they're not as
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: talented as the Yannie Neeman and some of the other
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: young players that they've given a shot to. But those
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: guys they set a tone. Yeah, and they have been
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: terrific for this team. Zero for three on the power
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: play again last night, I agreed with ed Zoe and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: he's like, hey, you don't have a number one, you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: have a number one line.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: But if they're not clicking, you got to go with
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: the hot line, you know.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: And when you get a power play opportunity, you just
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: don't go to the one that you put on the
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: piece of paper before the game. We get a power
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: play opportunity, we're going with this group. No, you got
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Coco needs to be on the ice, right now Cocko
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: might be the best player on the team right now,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and so I mean, there's.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: It's just weird. They're just weird, air pullingly weird.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was stressful last night.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: It was pretty fun though.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: It was really fun.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: I was like brushing my teeth like le just like
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: standing in front of the TV, like, oh my god,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: come on, come on, come on.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Boy, when you brush your teeth hard, you really I.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Think I brushed my teeth for five minutes because I
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: was like, I can't leave until this game is over.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you saw the cord with the when he made
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that like glove save and then the yeah, double fist ball.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: He knew, Yeah, he knew. I played really well tonight. Yeah,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: that was really close to losing. It was really fun
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: because you won.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk more about it with Everett coming
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: up at eight thirty. Coming up next, some wild rumors
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League involving the world cham Sports
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up, Greg Bell, it's seven oh five.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Also your headlines at seven o'clock. One thing, we'll certainly
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: talk to Greg about.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: The franchise tag and whether or not last second John
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: will change his mind and tag Ken Walker today also
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a pretty saucy rumor out there in the National Football League.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not any secret. Max Crosby made it
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: quite evident that the pass rusher wants to leave Las Vegas,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and he did a lot of things to secure that
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: at the tail end of the season and said that
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: he'll never play with the Raiders again as he was
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: exiting the building after their worst record in the National
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Football League campaign in twenty twenty five. So we knew
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that Max Crosby trade rumors were to begin. We knew
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: that the Raiders at some point this offseason, we're gonna
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: position it like they were trying to keep Max Crosby
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and that that's what their goal was. And we also
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: know that even though they say that that could be
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: just posturing, maybe they do know deep in their dark
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: black Raider hearts that Max Crosby is gone. But let's
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: make sure that people that are trading for him think
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: there's an option for us to keep him. And so
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: we knew we were gonna end up with some Max
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Crosby stuff. What I didn't kind of foresee is how
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: involved the Seahawks.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Were going to be in these trade rumors.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Albert Breer has gone as far as saying that the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Patriots and the Seahawks look like prime candidates to trade
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: for Max Crosby. I've even seen some articles here in
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the last forty eight hours that have suggested that John
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Schneider has made not one, not two, but three aggressive
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: trade offers for Max Crosby since the trading deadline of
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: And so it sounds like.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: The Hawks are in on Max Crosby and adding him
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: this offseason.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: Well makes sense.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I mean, if you're giving up
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: draft capital, especially when you're going to have the worst
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: draft in each round being the Super Bowl champions, you know,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: if you've got to give up two first rounders, there's
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: nobody else that gives up less if they give up
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: two first roundsers for Max Crosby. So I mean you
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: have them you. I guess there's multiple rules of thought.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: You can say, Okay, we won the Super Bowl, how
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: do we do that again? Do we need to solidify
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: a couple of things? I mean, obviously you have some
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: people that are on their way out. We just talked
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: about Ken Walker and will continue to talk about him.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: But you have to you have to kind of shore
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: up some things that are on their way out. You
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: have maybe a couple of weaknesses that you could say,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: like we could upgrade here, but you also can say
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: or we can just make something that's awesome awesomer. Yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: and their defense be awesomer.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Those are those are the T shirts?
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Ye, you get them, get them out there, Mike mcdonney
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: twenty six.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Time to be awesomer, Time to be awesomer. Yeah, Seahawks defense,
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: we're awesomer. I but I mean, I really think you
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: could if you're Mike McDonald. Would it be far fetched
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: for any of us to sit here and think of
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald and John Schneider sitting back sipping on with you.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: Hey, I like the Max Crosby idea.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: You have, what do you think we're gonna get at
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: number thirty two in the draft this year and next year?
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: You think you combine those two there, Max Crosby, I don't.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think that those two draft picks help us
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: win next year super Bowl or the next year super
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Bowl after that. So to me, there's a lot of
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: it that makes sense, and I don't think there's a lot.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a line around the corner
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: of teams that are gonna be interested. But there's not
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: gonna be a line around the corner of teams that
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: are gonna have the draft capital to give up the
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: next couple of years. I think there's only a few
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: teams that have both of their draft picks the next
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: couple of years. So you're in the short list. I
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: think of teams that would be willing to pull the
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: true on it, and I think it makes sense.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: The only way to be the awesomest is to get awesomer.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't be the awesomest unless you go from
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: awesome to awsomer right reach.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: That mountaintop if you don't climb the mountain first.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: And if we're not trying to be the awesomest every year,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: then what are we even here exactly?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I think that's I think that's a great
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: breakdown of it.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're sitting here. If you were a team
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: that won a championship with an old team.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Then maybe you're not doing it. But when you've won
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: a championship and you're ahead of schedule and you have
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the third youngest team in the National Football League, and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: so you're not going to really rock the boat of
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: your future, you know, giving away the thirty second overall
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft and then an unknown where you're
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: going to draft next year, but you're assuming it's going
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: to be late picking the first round from a year
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: from now. Yeah, I mean, if that's what it requires,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and your first and you've got the two first rounders
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that you.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Could, you know deal, I mean, it wouldn't surprise me.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about Max Crosby's injury history. He
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: seems really banged up at this stage in his career,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: and yet when he plays, he plays about as well
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: as anybody out there. He's gonna be twenty nine for
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: this upcoming season, and so yeah, I wouldn't be I'm
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: not surprised to hear that the Seahawks are in on him,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: but I would like to know just how real these
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: rumors are.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish we could figure that out.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Well, one thing I would have I'd be willing to
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: bet that there's a nice little end to his career
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: if he gets somewhere where you can't double team him
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: every single snap. I mean, he has been a guy
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: that has had to go through two people. But you
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: think about the collisions. Imagine, if you're yet two, you
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: got six hundred pounds of dude that's trying to knock
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: you down and push you around versus one. And with
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: this defense, the rest of the guys in that line,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: they're gonna have to pick their poison. You put two
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: on him, one of the other guys is gonna get
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: looser vice versa.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: All right, well, we'll ask Greg about it. We'll talk
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: about it throughout.
