  Speaker 1: of those off. Jess loves editing those down. I do,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and I say that, actually you do that. She enjoys
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: listening to you.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Guys, and they were all arable.

  Speaker 1: They were all actually really good. So whatever comes your mind.

• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to talk about the games, you want to talk about
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks, you want to talk about whatever, it is
• 1:42

• 1:48
  Speaker 1: The red microphone and click that at the KJR nine
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: three point three KJR part of it, click the red microphone,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: speak and we'll throw those on those those are we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: do like to hear your voice. Yeah, I hear this
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: all the time from people. You go, don't take phone
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: calls anymore, correct, We don't unless something just extraordinary happens.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Then maybe I think the last time I did it
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: for reaction.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson trade, I want to say, Russ, Yeah, No,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it was Pea.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Peak getting fired. So it's two years ago pee getting fired.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But part of it is is like we want to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: have good content on the air. Now, go ahead and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: start your jokes there. I know I'm doing a show
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: right now. But when I say that content, But that's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: why the talkbacks are great. And Jess was right, like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we use all of them yesterday, right.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, And when you have a call, I mean the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: talkbacks are limited to thirty seconds, right, So when you
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: open up the phone lines, you don't get as many people.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: People get nervous and they don't want to I'm on
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the line.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Your point.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You also just don't get as many voices, and we
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: want to hear it from as many as possible, and.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: If you want the voices that are not, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: your normal talk show hosts. Don't worries they're doing my show.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: My old fantasy foo, my fantasy football is doing my
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: show at some point, probably not pre super Bowl time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So just relaxed. Those guys keep bugging me. I had
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: three people last night that we had a fantasy a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: different fantasy league, Old Man Fantasy League, the Big Guy League,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: named after former Washington sid Chuck Neemai, the Big Guy
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: passed away from als. League's been in existing since nineteen
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: seventy seven. Yeah, so many people have been involved with it,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but mostly a lot of old media folks and now
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: some of their kids. But I had three or four
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of those guys last night going, hey, seriously, you're the league.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Are they going to really do your show? And I'm like, yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: they're gonna do my show. When's it gonna be? I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: want to know. I'm like, yeah, okay, great, so let
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: me get to this. I listened with great interest yesterday.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Mike Florio is on every Wednesday with Softy and Faint.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He's a lawyer by trade. Rick new Heisl has a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: lot of degree. They were on back to back yesterday
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in the three o'clock hours, really fascinating to listen to,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and then Petros as well at four because I I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: can't get enough of the Demon Williams stuff only because yeah,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it. But it's let's get past that for
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a second, my pettiness. It is a fascinating topic because
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it could be demand Williams at Washington, it could be
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: anybody anywhere in the country that is is this the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: test case? And they were all kind of asked in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: different varying ways. Is it the tipping point? You know?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Is this is this worse? Things truly will change? I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't know what the tipping point
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is because I don't think just judging from and talking
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to people. I've got a couple of friends that are
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: covering the Fiesta Bowl, for example, for uh or enough festival,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the uh where's it? Where the hell is it? Ale?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Where's where's the San Antonio? Yeah? That, and they're like whatever,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: like honestly, like that's fine. They got the like organ's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: got like their third string running back.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Sorry, they're playing in the Peach Bowl. You asked where
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the helmet was people?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So, oh yeah, they're playing Atlanta, Right, yeah, I should
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: know that, but they're like whatever, like it's there, like Organs, like, hey,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we got our third string running backs in the portal,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but he's gonna play. We're worried about that because like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: we use him. He's a good pass catching guy out
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of the backfield. That's what they're worried about. They don't
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: care about Damon Williams. And kind of looking around and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you know, Mandel is an interesting guy because I know
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you talked to him, and you know, just looking at
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: how the athletics handling the story. It was a story,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but it's not like the story at all. So because
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: my one hope would be outside of they eat their
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: own Demond and Washington and I can get a perverted
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: delight out of that. My actually one delight, My one
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: hope is is that one of the two sides is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: able to figure this thing out and it is a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: tipping point and we do figure out what's going on.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Because the Demon Williams story will happen every single year,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: whether it's Demon Williams at Washington or a player anywhere else.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: This has to get fixed. This has to get fixed.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It's a huge deal here because of who he is
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: think about what demon Williams for a moment. I believe
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in the fact check this on myself. I believe before
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: he was even the starter, Simply Seattle was paying it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He was doing appearances for Simply Seattle. This guy's been
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: getting paid here for a while and then this year,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you know, he's making a lot of money soft. He's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: talked about that, and I always ask, did you get
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: your money's worth you went to the La Bowl. The
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: answer is no. Okay, So now what are you expecting
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: from him next year? Well, a lot more than that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And honestly, if you watched him on Williams, he shows
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: flashes of being brilliant. My god, is he a six
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: million dollar quarterback? Is being reported? No, but that's what
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the market is. But he left. And the thing that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: makes this different than all the than a lot of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the others, except for one which get to is the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: fact that he apparently signed an nil deal. I do
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: thought before right, I do find it funny that his
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: agent or he was represented by Doug Hendrickson. If that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: name sounds familiar, it should. It was Doug. It was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a Marshawn Lynch's agent for years. If he could deal
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: with beast mode. He should be able to deal with this.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: That's how bad it is, right, and we love Marshawn,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure that was one of the highest maintenance,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you know, clients he's ever had. But I mentioned there's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: another one, and Rick newhisel brought this up yesterday, so
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I had to look it up. The University of Georgia
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: has sued former linebacker Damon Wilson the Second in nil
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: contract damages after he transferred to Missouri, claiming breach of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a deal with George's booster collective. Wilson countersuit, arguing the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: agreement wasn't legally binding and wait for this part that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Georgia tried to sabotage his transfer by falsely claiming a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: large buyout. They're still in litigation that part about falsely
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: claiming large buyout. I don't know if they falsely claimed it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: They probably just said we get a buyout. Washington's saying
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the same thing. They're trying to seek damages. But this
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is a case, so this isn't the first time it's happened.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Demond Williams, and the money involved here is over ten
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: times what we're talking about, ten times what we're talking
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: about with Damon Wilson and Damon Wilson's linebacker, Demond Williams,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: quarterback for Big Ten team and arguably one of the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: top thirty or so quarterbacks in So that's why it's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a bigger deal. But that's also out there too. If
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you also remember last year a starting cornerback. I should
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: have asked MJ about this starting cornerback from Miami who's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: playing for Miami. He's their best defensive back, their best
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: cover corner. He's playing tonight, played every game this year.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: He was at Wisconsin and he went to Miami, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Miami is getting sued by Wisconsin and that's still in litigation.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And I ill portal this and that. The kid just said,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I'm screwing, I'm dropping out. I'm even going to the portal.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna drop out. I'm gonna go to Miami
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: en roll there. That's what you did. There's the portal
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is the weirdest thing in the world. It's there's no magic,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: sure it opens up. What prevents a kid from leaving
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a school at any time? Nothing? You can drop out
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: at any time. We all know people that dropped out
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in school. Right, I'm done. Thanks for coming do it
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: before the withraw dray Day and you don't get charged
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for you know, f's and sorry, nice story talking about
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to me, but that's what but that guy's that's what
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it is. So what I hope comes out of this
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: maybe just maybe we come up with a better system.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: But I have absolutely not zero, but I have very
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: little faith that will happen, very little faith. I almost
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: think that it has to happen to a school that's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a true blue blood, like if Jeremiah Smith gets tampered with,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: for example, at Ohio State, right, if that were to happen,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: maybe there's a better chance. But then even think about this,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: just for a second, think about this. I mean, Carson
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Beck was Georgia's starting quarterback. Doesn't get much bigger than
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that now he's at Miami. Okay, Like, guys, if you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: think that the tampering is not taking place, and if
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you're appalled and outraged by tampering taking place, you are
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the most blindly naive people I've ever thought of in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: my life. Do you think we talked about it yesterday?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Jed himself has done he did with Jane DeLaura. Ever
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: coach is tampering hell I'd argue, if you're not tampering,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you're probably not doing your job. You're probably not doing
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: your job because you can't just wait till the kids
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: go on the portal. Because you know why guys go
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in the portal a lot of times because they already
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: have an offer. They already know what's coming, they already
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: know they have opportunities. I think I'm I going to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the portal now. Guys can always cut out, sure, but
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you can put your name in the portal. And again,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that you cannot even have to go in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the portal and like the kid at Miami did and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: just transfer, Well, then who cares. They've got to figure
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: this out. But I don't think they will because who
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: really cares until it affects you. I mentioned this to Mark,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: do you honestly think deep down, does anybody believe I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: don't care what the Big ten commissioner says? Yes, he
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: was at Mia Hammet's memorial service, and so the timing
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: was there, and we all agree that the timing of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: his announcement was like just turns your stomach, like not
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just read the room, but just be a human being,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Like just be a decent human being. But take that aside.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: The commissioner can say all he wants. If you were
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to ask Ryan Day, Hey, Ryan, DeMont Williams is going
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to LSU. You don't have them on your schedule next year,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but you have watched it on your schedule next year.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Are you really outraged by this? No? No, Hey, Dan Lanning,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: are you upset because de Mont Williams is leaving?
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: No?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Doesn't affect me. Actually it does affect me.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Helps me. I'd rather see the kid from Missouri that
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: threw eleven touchdowns and nine interceptions and de Mont Williams
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: next year, Like, I'd rather see that or little Noah
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Fafida if he decides to come, which I think seems
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to be a pipe dream. Why would he leave now
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: after all those years in Arizona? Right, he's but he's
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: he ain't.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Demon No, he's not. He's he's very small.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But let's think about that, Like, do you think that
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: those do you think anybody? Do you think Kyle Winningham
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: gives a ratch? You know what about de Mont Williams.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The rest of the Big Ten doesn't care. The rest
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of college football doesn't care. You care when it affects
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you directly, or hurts you directly.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's how college football operates.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: College football operates as singular entities that are part of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: a conference and part of something called the NCAA, which
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: is just an umbrella. And that's it. But they act
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: everyone's an independent contractor in terms of schools and programs.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: That's all they care about is themselves. They don't care about.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And again, if it hurts them or affects them, yes,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: if it helps them, well we're outraged. No we're not. No,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you're not not in the least bit. I do hope
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: it gets I hope something comes out of this in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: terms of college football getting fixed, and maybe U Dub's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: at the forefront of getting that done, or maybe demand
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: helps get it done with UDUB. I tend to doubt it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I have little faith. In fact, I have zero faith
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Corus Smith.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Coming up next, It's time to take a deep dive
• 12:48

  Speaker 1: how are you?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: I enjoying a little bit of relaxing leisure time. That's
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: something you get typically this time of year.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It's been a long time in Seattle since we've seen that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: That would have been back in twenty fourteen seasons. So yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it's been a while. Let it's been a while since
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the game on Saturday, but I do want to get
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: your thoughts just just an overriding summary of what you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: saw down at Levice Stadium.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: That was one of the most dominant defensive performances that
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: I have seen by a Seahawks team. I mean, it's
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: up there with anything that we saw in the Legion
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: of Boom era earlier when you know, the early ninety
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: the team wasn't good, but they had a really good defense.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: They had some dominant games. That was as good of.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: A defensive performance as I've seen from front to back.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: This is a forty nine ers offense. They had just
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: been torching opponents for the last five or six games,
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: and the Seahawks really rendered them completely punchless in this game.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: Forty seven passing yards from Brockbirdy in the first half.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: A couple of times he tried to scramble away, he
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: couldn't get out of the pocket. The run game, McCaffrey
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: goes for twenty three yards and eight carries.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Bottled that up, and it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Felt like the defense was never on the field because
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: they got off the field so quick when they were
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: out there, and the offense was able to chew up
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: a bunch of clock.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: They ran the football well. That looked like a winning
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: formula for January football.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I think the thing too that jumped out at me Corbyn,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: is this just as the season has gone on and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: he's become healthy. I'll let you speak on what nick
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Eman Warny means to this team.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: Oh man, I tell you you guys. You probably remember
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: the conversations that we had back during the draft cycle,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: how much I loved this kid and Seattle. I remember
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: telling you this literally right after the pick was made.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: The rest of the league is gonna rue the day
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: that they allowed John Schneider and Mike McDonald to be
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: able to trade up and get this kid early in
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: the second round. And now you're seeing why I said
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: that this guy is. He is such a you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: we hear the term Swiss army knife. I think that
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: is an understatement for this kid. He plays everywhere except
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: nose tackle. He can play defensive end, he can play inside,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: outside linebacker, he can play slack corner, he could play
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: outside corner if they wanted him to. He could play
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: all the safety positions, play that money linebacker role. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: seeing him wipe out that George Kittle's screen for a
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: six yard loss, that is the type of play that
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks drafted this kid for, that they traded up
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: to get him for, because because the NFC West is
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: full of talent at tight ends. And to see him
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: basically shut down George Kittle for most of this game,
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: have a couple of quarterback hits, could have had a
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: third pressure if he wasn't tripped up in the line
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: of scrimmage.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Making big plays in the run game.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Eight tackles for loss this year, the second most by
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: safety in the league, and he did it with three
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: and a half fewer games than the guy that was
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: ahead of him.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: And he is this guy.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: He really is the terminator equivalent of an NFL player,
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: and it's so much fun to watch. He's made a
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: top five defense, a historically good one with what he's
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: done this year.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you because I don't think that they
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: would be who they are defensively without him. And and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna throw something out there. You know,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you look at this defense and it is very much
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: like the sum of its parts, right, Like it's it's Witherspoon,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I know is a pro bowler, and so is Leonard Williams,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and even like call it, but it's the sum of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: its parts. What I think does separate is what you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: just said. I think Eman Worry is that X factor.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I think he's the guy that puts him over the top.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, you can probably survive a game without
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a Leonard Williams. I don't know if you can survive
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: without Byron Murphy at this point in the season. I'm
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: talking playoff games. I know this, You're probably not surviving
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: without number three. I think that's the kind of difference
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: he makes.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think you could.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't even know if I would throw
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Ernest Jones in there, because when Tyrese Knights started a
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: game for him, he forms two fumbles. I mean, we've
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: seen the depth that they've got, but there isn't another
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: guy on the team.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: There isn't another guy in the NFL now, like you've
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: seen him on the practice field.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: We talked about it during training camp that this kid
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: is listed six three two twenty and I think he's
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: closer to six four two thirty two thirty five. And
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: you see it on the field too. He is just
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: he is one of one. They're just they're not guys
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: that size, that run for three to two and they
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: run that fast on the field with pads on. Those
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: guys just don't grow on trees. And oh, by the way,
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: he's a really good football player. On tip on top
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: of it, putting hit with Mike McDonald was the perfect
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: landing spot for him.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: He might not have hit it off with other teams
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: the same way that he has in this scheme. I
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: think he would have been just fine. He's a really
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: good football player.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: But again I think that teams for a long time
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: going to be ruined the day that they allowed John
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Schneider and the Seahawks to go up and get this
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: kid win.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: He should have easily been a first round selection.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Corbyn Smith joins us in Corbyn of course, our good
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: friend Emerald City Spectrum, brought to you by Sold by
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Jim to him sold by Jim dot Com. We play
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: this whole, you know, comparison game, and all of us
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: not only are guilty of it, but we all enjoy it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So let's continue to do this. So because you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you reference even you know the legion of Boom days,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, different personnel, different coach, different schemes, different
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of things. But I mentioned with some of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the parts and I had to go back and I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to look and see because how often is it, Corbin,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: that you see an elite defense, a great defense, maybe
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the best defense in the league, and that defense doesn't
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: have elite pass rushers. And I'll give you a case
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in point. The two guys that led the team in
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: sacks this season for Seattle both had seven miles. Garrett
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: gets that in his sleep. I mean, there's so many
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: guys in the double digit sacks right now. It goes
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: into the twenties in the NFL, right so like? But
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to have an elite pass rusher, And then I was
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: thinking back, wasn't that similar to Legion to boom? Sure enough?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Twenty thirteen Super Bowl team Michael ben at eight point five,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Cliffavorril eight, Clinton McDonald five and a half, Bobby Wagner
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: five when they actually plitted him back. Then I guess
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Chris Clemens had four. Blah blah blah, keep going down.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: In other words, it was pass rush by committee, by team,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: by scheme, not relying on the one elite pass rusher.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And it's great to have that guy. You want that guy, right, Corbyn,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: You one hundred percent want that elite pass rusher. It'd
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: be great have a Bosa. But if that Bosa gets hurt?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: What happens San Francisco? Right like? What happens TJ?
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: Watt?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: If you're not what you used to be, things like that,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: your defense isn't what it once was. That's what If
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you want to make a comparison, I'll just go right
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: there for a second. You didn't have in a cliff.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: If you're listening, I love you, but were I mean
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: eight point five sacks? You're a good player. You're not
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: in that upper rational line of pass rushers, right, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: that's what Seattle has right now. They've got really good players,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: but they don't have that like I'm gonna get fourteen
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: or fifteen sack guy right now. They're doing it by committee.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think that, you know, I made this
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: comment the other day, I believe it was on another
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: show and kind of got scoffed at a little bit.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: But I think this is the deepest defensive line that
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Seattle has ever had in its franchise history, including that
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: group from twenty thirteen twenty fourteen. You can look back
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: at some of those teams the eighties that had stacked
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: defensive lines.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: I think this is the best defensive line.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: That they have had.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: Considered that Jaron Reed is the third wheel at the
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: defensive tackle position. We saw what he did Saturday night
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: and I thought he played fantastic ball in Santa Clair.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: And he's clearly their number three at this point. Mike
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Morris is playing really well every week. I feel like
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: ninety four is popping on a few plays, so he's
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: come along.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: And then you look at the edge group.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: Derek Hall was suspended for a game and came back
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: and quarterback kids angry, exactly what I thought he was
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: gonna do. He did exactly what I thought he was
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: gonna do. But DeMarcus Lawrence has been fantastic. He's been
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: a remarkable addition to this team. Nuos who's been healthy
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: and he's played well. And you know, boy Mafy doesn't
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: have the stats, but I don't know how many sacks
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: that guys have gotten because of his pressures that aren't
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: going to be illustrated in.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: A box score.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: So he's done a lot more than his individual numbers
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: would show you. I just think across the board, you
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: get two defensive tackles with seven sacks.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: I mean this, This is.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: As talented and deep of a defensive line as they
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: have ever had in this franchise's history. And to me,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: that is the big reason this team is fourteen and
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: three and got the number one seed.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: So they got the number one seed. They sit back
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: this bye weekend. Everyone has their own opinions. The Seahawks
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: would never publicly say who they want to see, But
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: let's just go through some of the games and in
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the NFC Packers, Bears, Rams, Panthers, forty nine Ers, Eagles,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the possible opponents for Seattle would be Packers, forty nine, Ers, Rams,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: or Panthers, depending on what happens in those other three games.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Let's just go through them. What do you think who
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: do you think would would be the best? Like if
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you're if you were sitting in John Schneider's office, brother,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and you're you're you're kicking back and you're having a
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: beverage and a red Solo Cup with with Schneidy and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: you're doing there, what do you think he would tell
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you off the record, what's the team that he wants
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to see?
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Brother?
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Let's hope all the home teams win. That's exactly what
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: you're hoping for. Look, no offense to Carolina. I think
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: that what Dave Canalys has done there has been excellent.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: I mean he's turned a team that was battling for
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: top three picks into a viable playoff team. I know
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: they're eight and nine, they finished with a losing record,
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: but they've beaten some really good teams this year. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: I think Bryce Young has made some strides. But that said,
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: Bryce Young does not scare me at all compared to
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: the other quarterbacks here, and Seattle just held him a
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago, no passes.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Of more than eight yards.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: I don't think that their defense is going to have
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: any concern about having to defend him or their run game,
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: particularly at home.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: They showed they can score points on the second half.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I think playing at home, they're gonna be able to
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: get off to a little quicker start. To to me, Caroline,
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: it would be easily the best opponent that they could
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: draw it. Hoping that all three home teams find a
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: way and now would mean that the Panthers beat the
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Rams a second time, which I find very hard to
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: believe that's gonna happen. But sometimes there's just teams that
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: have other teams numbers for whatever reason. Maybe the Panther
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: have that on the Rams. I guess we'll find out
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: what Let's just assume that the Rams win that game.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: How big a fan of the Green Bay Packers are
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks beating the Bears and then the Packers coming
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: out here a team that doesn't have Micah Parsons. We
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: just talked about going out and getting an elite pass rusher.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: He's not there anymore. He's got the injury. Jordan Love's
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: been up and down, mostly with injuries. This season at
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: that point, are you just a huge Bears fan if
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: you're a Seahawk, Yeah, you're you're You're rooting for the
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: Packers to win that game big time because they're also
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: sucker crack Packers game.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I said Bear, I said Bears. I missed. I totally misspoke.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I'm in Packers, Yeah, wants.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what, Ian, I think green Bay wins
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: that game. That that's my pick right now. I just
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: I think Chicago's defense is a problem in the playoffs.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: They have been.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: You saw the forty nine Ers a couple of weeks ago,
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: what they did to them. I don't think green Bay
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: is that explosive, But I think the Packers will find
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: a way to get it done.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: Both.
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: Their game has been crazy this year. I think Green
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Bay has never been averse to playing Soldier Field, even
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: post Aaron Rodgers leaving, that has been a stadium that
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: they have dominated in. I think green Bay wins that game,
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: which makes all the other games a point in terms
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: of who the Seahawks are gonna play. But I actually
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: have green Bay as my second team on my ranking
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: in terms of most ideal to play, and it's just
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: because not having Micah Parsons to worry about or Tucker Craft,
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: who I.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Think would be the biggest matchup this fear for the Seahawks.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's not gonna be playing in that game
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: either with him being out for the season. So green
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: Bay to me, would be the other team, you know,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: if the wild card teams that are on the road,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: that would be the one that if I'm the Seahawks,
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: I'm hoping most I get the opportunity to play. I
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: just saw the weather report, like snow flurries, fifteen to
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: thirty mile an hour, wins and twenty one degree is
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: gonna feel like twenty to twenty one degrees. That feels
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: like a Josh Jacobs game, doesn't it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: I just have a feeling that the Packers are going
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: to get a couple turnovers on Caleb Williams in that game.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: I just I just have a feeling it's gonna be
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: kill Williams first playoff game. Defense is a turnstyle in
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: a lot of ways.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I just we'll see. I just think green Bay takes
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: that one.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Just looking last weekend, I mean, Detroit goes in there,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: nothing to play for Chicago seemingly as it turns out
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: didn't but seemingly had to win that game to get
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the two seed, and they did nothing offensively, Like, they
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: did nothing at all offensively in that game. I thought
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: that was a big red flag for a game against
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: when they played Detroit last week to end up all right,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: let's get to the forty nine ers and Eagles, My friend,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: my gosh, like this just feels like this is just
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: going to be an absolute slobberor knocker between the Philadelphia defense.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Shanahan ain't gonna score three points two games in a row.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: That's just impossible. I can't fathom that happening in any way,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: shape or form. It feels a lot like last week's matchup, though.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: It's what will Shanahan do against a great defense? Great?
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: And can San Francisco's defense hold on against a quarterback
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that had at least two games this year. We didn't
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: complete a pass the second half of it, they still won.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: So how do you see this one playing out?
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I think San Francisco's biggest issue in this game is
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: on the defensive side of the ball, and I believe
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: I mentioned this on our segment last week. I felt
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: like they were going to at some point have the
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: injuries catch up with him on that side of the ball.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: And I know Seattle only scored thirteen points. That's the
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: one thing from that game that I look at, like, man,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: they should have scored twenty plus easy in that game.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: But I saw enough issues in terms of stopping the run.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: I think Saquon Barkley goes absolutely bananas this weekend. I
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: just don't think the forty nine ers. I mean, and
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: they're down another linebacker too. They lost one of their
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: backup linebackers ye against Seattle and he's out of the season.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know how they stopped Philadelphia's run game.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: I expect more.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts mixed in that as well. Now that it's
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: the playoffs, there's no reason to hold him back. I
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: think that is the deciding factor. The San Francisco will
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: score some points, but if Trent Williams can't play, that's
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: gonna be a massive issue for them to deal with.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Two with the defenseive line that the Eagles are going
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: to be bringing to the equation at home, I actually
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: think Philadelphia wins this one comfortably. I think a couple
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: of touchdowns in this game. I just I can't see
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: San Francisco stopping their run game, with their defensive injuries
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: and the.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Lack of pass rush. I just think there's too many
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: things working against them.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Corbin, the AFC feels like it's wide open. I say
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: that because we don't have a Patrick Mahomes in there,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and we've got what feels like is somewhat of a
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: wounded tiger in the sixth seed in the Buffalo Bills
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that feel like it's the same buff level of Buffalo
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Bills we've seen for a while. I could be wrong
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the one seed. I don't know how many people truly
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: believe in the one seed in New England or not,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, or the Denver Broncos are not the
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Patriots of the two seed. Just some quick thoughts on
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the AFC and how you see this thing playing out.
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: I think the team that comes out of there is
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: one that the Seahawks beat actually kind of handled it
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: earlier this year.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville is Jacksonville Ias. I think in the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Texas for a second jackson No.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: I look, I gotta give Liam. I picked Liam Cohen.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: As my Coach of the Year and my All Pro
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: ballot that I turned in. I think he has done
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: a phenomenal job there. Trevor Lawrence just looks like a
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: different cap the last five to six games. He just
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: you're seeing the guy that we saw at Clemson. Finally,
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: and the light switches come on and and you.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Know, Jacoby Myers. The Raiders, everything they've done this year
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: has been a disaster.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: They trade Jacoby Myers and he becomes immediate receiver one
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: for Trevor Lawrence, and that's changed that offense. They've got
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: a really rock solid defense. Devin Lloyd had a phenomenal
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: season in the middle. They've got pass rushers, they've got weapons.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: In the second year then create I just I don't
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: I am not big on Denver. I think Denver is
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: a vulnerable team. I think Jacksonville would smoke them right now,
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: to be honest with you, that's I just I think
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Jacksonville is a team that is primed to make a run.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I just think that is a wide open conference.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: And I don't going with the team that's playing best
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: right now, and that is the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta ask you this because I know people
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: be texting in on her phone line. Well, what Corman
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: voted for? Liam Cohen, why didn't you vote for Mike McDonald.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: So I'll ask you that.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Mike McDonald was number two on my list, Kyle Shanahane
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: was number three, and I could see any of those
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: three winning the award.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: I just I just look at what jacksonby.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Jacksonville is a perpetually dysfunctional franchise and.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Liam Cohen, I gotta give the guy credit, like he basically.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: Hamstrung them like, well, I'm not taking this job unless
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: you get rid of the GM, and he forced them
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: to move on from Balky. He made that bold move
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: and then he comes out and they made some significant
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: roster moves over the course of this season, and lo
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: and behold, he's got them turned into a potential super
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Bowl team in the AFC. I could see either one
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: of those coaches. All three of those guys are very deserving.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: I just I just incredibly impressed by what Liam Cohen
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: has done. Jacksonville Wildcard weekend is always a ton of fun.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Enjoy the games, enjoy a couple days off.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Corbyn. Next week when we speak will be two or
• 31:08

  Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Wild at Climate Pledgerina six thirty pregame show,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock drop of the puck. The Captain Bento Mike
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Benton will get you going six thirty pm tonight. If
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: you're at the game, go swing by. He's in the
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: pregames festivities. He's down in section twenty is that right?
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: And or second twenty where's light landing? You can see
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the captain up close and personal. Give him a fist pump,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: say let's go captain, how are we doing today?
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: He has that intense stare.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: Well, if he's on the air, he'll be absolutely zoned
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: in on what he's looking at and just not look
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: at anything else.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: But if he's off there, he'll give you a nice hello.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I would be I'm jealous of that. I need to
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: have more concentration and focus like the captain does that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: That's what makes him the captain. That's what makes me me.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: All right, that's just he's he's on a different level.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: We love the guy to death, absolutely, we we kid
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: because we love and we do love the captain. He'll
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: be there. I think he think he's at Tom's not.
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: Today, because I will be with him on post game.
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: Oh well today at the landing, at the course I land,
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: I so.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying is, I'm thinking to myself because
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: when the captain gets somebody to come along with him,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: usually the benefit is you get to go get free food.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: I know, all of a sudden, it's I get the
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: one that you don't get free food off.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you can go to the press box, right, Yeah,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: that's true.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: They do have a good spread usually first intermission.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Pride night tonight at Common Pledgerina as well
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: one of the Common Thread then nights tonight. I would say,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to rank them, but
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I would just think it's one of the most important
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: nights of the year for us, for the Kraken of
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the Jerseys too. Yeah, they're gonna auction those off. And
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a there's a saying hockey is for everyone.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I just think inclusivity period should be something that we
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: all embrace. That's that's my own personal opinion. You you
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: do you, but I I'm excited about it. Tonight we
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: will celebrate on the Krack and Hockey Network with some
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: special attire. It is as flamboyant and fun as can be.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm honestly this sixty year old man is exciting.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been talking about it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Do it in the sixth three. You'll see what we
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: got going on.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: It's awesome.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're I mean, I just we'll talk about on
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the broadcast night. But it's an important night. It's a
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: very important night. And that's the one of the things
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: about this organization that I just I truly love and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: we'll hear from Todd light WICKI in about ten minutes
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: is embracing everyone. Doesn't matter what you look like, it
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter what your sexual preference is, gender, it's this
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: is it, man, this is It's a it's a blank
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: slate as far as our concern, and we love that. Okay,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: while by the way, drop to this NHL man, I
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: don't know who their schedule maker is. He's weird.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: They've been in Seattle for like three days.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: So they've played back to back games in LA against
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the Kings, lost both of those Saturday and Monday, and
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: then they've been here, like Anders said, since late Monday night,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and we're here Tuesday when the Crack can play. They
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: practiced two nights in two days in a row. It climbing,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: played Arena, and now they get to play the Cracking
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: tonight at home. That's almost exactly the same thing as Boston,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: except for Boston to play two teams in the same
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: buildings back to back. But Boston was here for two days, right, well,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the Crack and we're playing the second half of back
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: to back. Maybe no Jordan Everley tonight. Sounds like there's
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: an issue there. So if that if that's the case,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: then they'll have to figure something out. Lineup wise this evening,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: which is a bummer because they had four straight games.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: We had the same lineup, shook it up on Tuesday
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: against the Boston Bruins. These and they shook it up
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: and then all it did is result in seven goals,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: just just seven goals. You know, was terrible.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: My god, that is my fantasy team too.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I do laugh. I get in the car the first
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: thing I see that text from Anders our hockey chat
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't know how to feel. I
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: guess I'm feeling good. Swiming's my fantasy hockey team just
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: gave up seven. Yeah, it's like an automatic loss for you.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, but you enjoyed it.
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: I did.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: It's fun. Berkley getting a couple of perfectcat and come
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: up with two goal games. So away you go. Crack Minnesota.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, they are third in the Central. They
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: are twenty five eleven and eight. They were twenty five
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and nine before those two losses to the Kings. Just
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: think about that for a second. Seattle's on a heater
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: cracking right now. Sit in third place in the Pacific.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: That's a solid spot for the playoffs, except for this,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: because third place top three in each division go to
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and then the next two teams are wildcard teams.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So Sales third in the division, you're thinking, cool, they're
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: ahead of the two Wildcard teams. Yes, they are by
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: percentage points and one point, and then behind them Anaheim
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and Utah are just two points, which would be one
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: win away. So tight, it is really tight. Every game
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: matters after night crack and hit the road starting on
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Saturday in hair, Oh.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: I see Quinn Hughes tonight for Minnesota. It'll be fun.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good times. Okay, that's our namely power play, brought
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: to you by wal Honda Caboda out there off of
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: my ninety eight squad. I got teas for you. I
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: want to tease. Yes, well I got two teas's one
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: todd Light Wiking. In just a few minutes, he will
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: talk about something called the n B. Wait a second, A,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I thought we were refusing to talk unless it affects
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: us here in Seattle. Okay, all right, I don't care
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: about a trade involving sixty four year old CJ. McCollum
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. I don't care about that, do
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: not care, don't care.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I get it.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that's coming up into Toddlight Wiki. This is
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the other tease. Tomorrow morning eight a m oh yeah,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: eight am, tomorrow morning. Mike McDonald, he's the head coach
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: of your Seattle Seahawks. He will join Chuck Powell, Bucky Jacobson,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the morning again, that's tomorrow, eight
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. Chucky and Bucky and Mikey are
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: all going to hang out together eight o'clock tomorrow morning,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: right here in nine three point three KJRFM. That'd be cool.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I haven't though it's been a while since he's been
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: on our air career.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Don't forget send in those voice texts were just starting
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: to pile up.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: A lot more we did talk about is Washington and
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: to Mont Williams a tipping point in college football? Is
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: that the one thing that could come out of this
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: as positive, there's some real change. I don't think there
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: will be, because I frankly don't believe enough people care
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: outside of Seattle. Until it affects you, you don't care.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: And honestly, Husky fans look in the mirror. You didn't
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: care about anybody leaving anytime, any school, anywhere. Until now.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I would have thought there would have been more outrage
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: about Adam Mohammet.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah me too. I think good player, yeah, very good player.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that was almost a shrug, especially with Johnah
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Coleman leaving.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that was odd. But Mon Williams a
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: guy that you know, Dick Fane with on our air
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: talking about how he'd probably be in the Heisman conversation
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: at least a couple times during his career. I don't
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: know if that'll ever actually happen, but that's how Highway
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: people thought of him, and probably rightfully. So he's a
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: dynamic player. That's when you start to care. But I
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: don't know if it really be a tipping point. I
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: don't know if that people care outside of Seattle didn't
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: affect them. And if you're being honest with yourself, if
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: you're the rest of the Big ten, you're happy because
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: he is a good player. Good program. Mike Washington just
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: lost a really good player. Oh I'm sorry we should
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: sue somebody. No, we don't care. Day line has gone
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: too bad. Okay, We're good. Todd Lightwickie coming up next

  Speaker 1: weis junior, like really the only guy that matters that's
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: still there. So we'll see how that goes to night.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: My assumption was Miami should probably take him out, but
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: like I said, most people probably rooting for Ole Miss there.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Now I am the little underdog. Oh, we feel bad
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: for all Miss and Lane Kiffin is a jerk and
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: all those things are true. All right, that's it. Those
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: are your headlines. Let's get to the hour number two
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: here on the radio show. A couple of things real quick. One.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: We're taking texts four nine, four to five one. We're
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: also going to get talkbacks. All you have to just
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: go the iHeartRadio app ninety three point three KJRFM read
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: microphone thirty seconds to speak whatever you want to chime
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: in on today Goman College Football Playoff? What have you?
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Todd light Wiki was with me yesterday at the thirty
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: two Bar and Grill in a stunning development. We couldn't
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: just keep it to four or five minutes with Todd yesterday.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: There's a lot to talk about with the track and CEO,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: former Seahawks president as well, and we spent some time
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: yesterday talking about a lot about the hockey team. We
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: continued the conversation and we wanted to play it today
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: because there's a variety of topics to get to, including
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: the NBA, what's going on in Memorial Stadium, and so
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: much more, but also his involvement in the Seahawks and
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: his rowan bringing one John Schneider to Seattle, and that's
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: where we started. I said, listen, you know, bringing John
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Schneider here, making the decision to let Jim Mora junior
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: go after just one season, and Tim Ruskoll turfing him
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: and doing all those things that had to be tough.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: But I asked him, if you know how much pride
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: he takes and seeing the success that John Schneider and
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are having.
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he was. You know, I think what I felt
• 43:27
  Speaker 9: about John during those interviews is that a guy had
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: gone to the very top. He was with back then,
• 43:34
  Speaker 9: the Redskins is what they were called, and he got
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: fired and he got sent to the back of the
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: class and he went to Green Bay. And you know,
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: I mean, I guess in some ways they got his
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: wings clipped, but he had to fire. He had the
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: passion and people have faced adversity or sometimes so much
• 43:52
  Speaker 9: better in the second iteration, and so you know, he
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: came here and he's I think in the modern era,
• 44:00
  Speaker 9: there's not a better general manager in the history of
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: the league. He's going to go down. I think is
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: one of the best general managers in the history of
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: the NFL. But he's also one of the funniest guys
• 44:10
  Speaker 9: I've ever been around. The man sense of humor is
• 44:13
  Speaker 9: just incredible, and he is a joy. He broke my
• 44:16
  Speaker 9: ribs one rib giving me a hug at the Roanoak
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: on Mercer Island, brother and he picked me up and squeezed.
• 44:24
  Speaker 9: And I've never told him that, but I think I
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: had a crack rift after that and I was like, but,
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: but you know, there were some other teams that we
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: didn't talk about yesterday. The Storm and what they've done.
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: Our new team, the torrent great success story. Incredible, they're
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: leading the league and attendance, they're playing with the same passion.
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: They have Hillary Knight on the team. It's really uh,
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: this is a wonderful, wonderful sports town and at the
• 44:52
  Speaker 9: end of the day being proud of John. I'm actually
• 44:55
  Speaker 9: a fan of the Seahawks. I'm a fan of their ownership.
• 44:58
  Speaker 9: Chuck Arnold, there's not a better guy. This guy started
• 45:02
  Speaker 9: out as an intern with the Seahawks and today he's
• 45:06
  Speaker 9: this incredibly well liked president. So all on the way,
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: there's just all these and if you look, you know,
• 45:13
  Speaker 9: the world. If you look at the newspaper, the front
• 45:15
  Speaker 9: page is filled with all these But if you go
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: a few pages in, there's lots and lots of things
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: that can give us inspiration on a daily basis. And
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: all we have to do is look around. And I
• 45:25
  Speaker 9: think sports does bring out the best in people. Fans
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: have faith, Fans have passion. Fan great fans don't give
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: up on their teams, and then they get paid back.
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: And last, you know, against the Bruins. The building the
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: other night was just fantastic.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: And Berkeley scored, yeah, and they were chanting and said
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: let's go kracking and the goal song let's go catting. Yeah,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: that was special.
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: It is and our fans, you know, and we're still
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: growing our fan base and there's more work to be done,
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: and we our best days are in front of us.
• 45:53
  Speaker 9: But our fans have been phenomenal. And then Berkeley Cattin
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: has scored those two goals. In the first one, he
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: was shocked at one, and he couldn't believe that. The second
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: one was a beautiful goal scorers goal. He slipped through
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: those the give and go, he slips through the defenders
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: and then instinctively does a backhand tap shot and it
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: was just fantastic.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Todd, what is it about. You've worked for a lot
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: of organizations in different markets, but here in Seattle you
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: mentioned whether it be the Mariner's ownership and what they
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: were able to do this year with Jerry Depoto's leadership
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: working for Paul Allen. Now Jody's in charge, and we
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: saw her in the booth behind John celebrating the other day.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Sam here with the ownership group leading the ownership group
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: of the Kraken and everything else. What makes a good
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: owners today's sports? Because I think oftentimes, and I bring
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: this up for this reason, you hear about a lot
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: of owners but probably not in a positive way. Like
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: when you hear about an ownership sometimes it's not positive,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: it's negative. You don't hear a lot about what Jody's doing.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, we don't see her a lot. Sam's working
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: and people don't know this. She's here almost every day. Yeah, grinding.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: What makes great ownership? Well, first, you know, I did
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: work for Paul, but I worked for Jodie, and I
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: think she's done a magnificent job. She's had the right touch.
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: And I think that for instance, John Schneider has absolutely
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: flourished under her ownership. And there's a guy named Bert
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: Colton who's been over there from day one. Samantha Holloway
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: is a fantastic owner. And I'll just pause and say,
• 47:19
  Speaker 9: we have two women who own teams here in this market,
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: and we are a different place. And I a lot
• 47:24
  Speaker 9: of what makes this place different are things that I value,
• 47:26
  Speaker 9: and I totally value. I've been in I've been an
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: owners meetings, the thought that we have two women running teams.
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: But back to Samantha, she has been a great leader.
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: And she came here, she moved her family here, and
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: you know that first year her office, her desk was
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: in my office. And today she's I call her boss.
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: But she's a great partner and she has dreams beyond
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: what we are today. And I won't get into that
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: too much, but there, you know, we didn't do all
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: of this not to finish the dream, and we're going
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: to finish the dream. But the other thing she's let
• 48:02
  Speaker 9: us dream about is community. And I love that part
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: because I think that in these businesses, and I think
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: the teams in Seattle are uniquely graded community. The Storm
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: are fantastic at it, you know, the Mariners, the Seahawks.
• 48:18
  Speaker 9: It's a You think about the collective good that the
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: teams have done, and there's no competition. The only competition
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: is to make right by the community. So she let
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: us take on Memorial Stadium and it was a mess.
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: It was hadn't been touched since nineteen forty seven rebar.
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: There were certain sections taped off. Forty seven thousand students
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: in Seattle public schools and not just that, the Metro League.
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: And here on this beautiful campus because we think we
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: are the only arena in the world to be you know,
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: created in a park, a beautiful, beautiful campus. But there
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: sat this blighted building. So school district came up with money,
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: real money, sixty million, but it wasn't nearly enough. The
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: city came up with forty million, but half of that
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: was pledged and we had to take a dream, conceptualize, design, price,
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: raise money. We went out and raised forty million dollars.
• 49:12
  Speaker 9: Sounds easy, It was scary because we just kept committing
• 49:16
  Speaker 9: in committing and committing. The one rule we had in
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: the very beginning is everyone benefits. No one profits. No
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: one is going to profit on this, but the students
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: and the users, and what we're going to have in
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: about eighteen months is going to be the most beautiful
• 49:34
  Speaker 9: community stadium in the land. Those forty seven thousand students
• 49:38
  Speaker 9: are going to have lots of reasons to cheer. We're
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: going to take it and turn it into a living classroom.
• 49:43
  Speaker 9: We're going to beautify the campus. And that's to tell
• 49:47
  Speaker 9: you the truth. I love the games and beating the
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: Bruins the other night was lovely and fantastic, But the
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: community part is what I've always really truly.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Loved well, and I'm going to point them out at
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the end of the interview in regards to how you
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: back that up on a small level, But I want
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: to go back to Montreal Staium and you sitting here
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: at thirty two Bar and grill, my good friend Kenny
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: more Arty's and Ode Alum as well, just like me.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: We both played on that turf. Well, that turf back
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: then was about as hard as it's floor was the
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: original AstroTurf. I think it might have been the first
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: installation of quote unquote the brand name Astro Turf, and
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: it was you know, I remember playing there after watching
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: the first version of the Sounders, which you're very familiar
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: with in nineteen seventy four seventy five when they played there.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: But you're right, I even going into that building, into
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: the locker rooms in nineteen the eighties and you know,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: late eighties when I was there, it was it was
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: beat up and it never has changed. Why I'm asking,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. And the fact that our students
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: in Seattle can get that is awesome. Whatever your concerts
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: can be there, high school football, soccer, boys and girls, whatever,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: it's going to all be their flight football for girls.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: But why because it's a heck of an undertaking.
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: It is. But if you think about cumulatively what it
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: means to the city, because everyone has the story about
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: playing there and thinking back and feeling its best days
• 51:01
  Speaker 9: were behind it. Yeah, and in fact now it's best
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: days are in front of it, and those experiences that
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: students have playing there those experiences that students are going
• 51:11
  Speaker 9: to have coming cheering there, We're going to teach students
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: about game presentation, broadcast production, video production, We're going to
• 51:17
  Speaker 9: have digital signs. It is going to be spectacular and
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: there's some surprises and other things we haven't revealed yet
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: that are going to be forthcoming that'll make it the
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: finest community stadium in Land. And it's wonderful. And what
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: it is is it's a bandwagon. And when you do
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: things for the right reasons, people join with you. And
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: we did it and that goes back to Samantha Holloway
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: giving us permission to take those leaps of faith. And
• 51:42
  Speaker 9: there were big ones and people said, oh, you can't
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: get the school district in the city degree on anything
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: not true, And both will be very proud of what
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: we finish with.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I mean growing up Seattle Center that
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: it was just that it was the center. Seattle Center
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: was the center and it just got away from us.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: But the fact CPA obviously changes that, and then obviously
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Memorial Stadium is going to do that as well. Toddlight
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Wikie for a couple more moments, a couple more things.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: One everyone's going to want to know NBA Adam Silvers's
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six a decision. He's mentioned teams. I don't
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: know if you can tell us anything, but I'll ask
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: you anyway. And what do we know?
• 52:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, what I'll tell you is that it's something we
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: think about every day. It's something we work on every day.
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: And I would say the hardest part for us is
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: a community has now been taken care of. That is
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: a beautiful, beautiful arena, privately funded, the most sustainable building
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: in the world. Public transportation, people said people aren't going
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: to be able to get there and back. On most
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: cracking games, twenty five percent of the people are taking
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: public transportation in some form. We actually bought half the
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: operating company, the monorail, and transformed the business plan where
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: everyone was able to take using their or capacc and
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: then we put the Orka pass in every ticket we
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: sold at the open the Storm, the torrent concerts, and
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: it worked. And the aesthetics of the building we bought
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: a instant soul. People kind of hated on it, but
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: in fact the building in its origin was beautiful. There's
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: no back of house, it scales into the neighborhood. It
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: is an architecturally beautiful, beautiful facility. And I say, and
• 53:22
  Speaker 9: early on it was hoping, but today I say, it's
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: the most beautiful arena in the world. And I don't
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: think there's a more beautiful arena. And it is ready
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: for the return of the NBA.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: And your hockey team plays there. I'm with you. I
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: think it's spectacular on every level. It's loud. It's like
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Loomenfield is loud, the mobile is loud. CPA is loud,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: and the fans have great experiences. They are. One of
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the things that's really cool about that building is you know,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: and you said you want to grow, and we talked
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: to you yesterday. The fan base you want to grow.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I know everybody that goes to a game, they come
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: away going, Wow, what an experience, from the opening stuff
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: to the game production. You've got the second largest I believe,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: radio network across the NHL, with with our station being
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: the flagship and everything else. You've got your own television network.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: You've got all these things going on. How do you
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: get the if you want to grow that famiase, how
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: do you do it?
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: Well, you got to keep moving and you got to
• 54:19
  Speaker 9: keep making good decisions. We made some decisions on tickets.
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: People said, look, families can't come, and it's being and
• 54:26
  Speaker 9: we modified that, but we tried to do it while
• 54:29
  Speaker 9: also honoring the people with us from day one. And
• 54:33
  Speaker 9: you know, I'd say that there's still we wake up
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: every day with long to do lists around here, but
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: there's other things coming. And I think someday when the
• 54:40
  Speaker 9: NBA comes back, and I'm optimistic it is coming back,
• 54:44
  Speaker 9: I think the city will feel more complete at that
• 54:46
  Speaker 9: point in time. But we as the city also have
• 54:48
  Speaker 9: to rise up for that moment. And it's going to
• 54:50
  Speaker 9: take a village to make sure that we're ready, not
• 54:53
  Speaker 9: just to welcome the NBA back and make sure that
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: that first game feels as special, but to make sure
• 54:59
  Speaker 9: it las and never leaves again. And that's such a
• 55:03
  Speaker 9: wonderful thing. And an owner like Samantha Holloway, who is
• 55:08
  Speaker 9: built of the right stuff. She is as smart as
• 55:11
  Speaker 9: her dad, she's in the prime of her life, she's
• 55:15
  Speaker 9: an outstanding business person, she's deeply now committed and embedded
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: in this community. It's going to be a great story
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: to watch.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: And I'll wrap it up with this. You mentioned the
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: importance of community work and what you guys do as
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: an organization with the Kraken the other sports teams in
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: this town that are all heavily involved in the community,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: especially when you see ex players like Doug Walden and
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: others that stick around and still work in the community
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: and things like that. But I haven't talked about this yet,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: jess we'll make a bigger announcement really soon in terms
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: of next year's mayor of Maple Valley Golf tournament. But Jessman,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: you were there at it last year. Were you saw
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: what it was? And this gentleman every year has donated
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of things that we use for silent auction, raffles, etc.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: That raise a lot of money for Lensky's Hope for
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: mental health awareness, Jordan Morris Foundation for Type one Diabetes,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: and Avey Huffman for DIPG. So let me thank you
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: personally because what you do for me and are little
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: just a little golf tournament and the beer that we
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: that we drink as well with the Georgetown folks later on.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: What you guys do you do put your money where
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: your mouth is and I can't tell you how much
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: we appreciate it. And also those three small chump.
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: Founder isn't that awesome because it's not the biggest charity
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: in town, but there's not a bigger heart, and it's
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: your heart. But it's that's what makes the world a
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: beautiful place. And I still have faith in this world.
• 56:33
  Speaker 9: And in part it's because we get to live in
• 56:35
  Speaker 9: a community that does fights above its weight level in
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: giving back and all sorts of stuff. So thanks for
• 56:42
  Speaker 9: having me on.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: I appreciate Pride Night tonight at Climate Plagarina. I'm looking
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: forward to it. I got some new stuff to wear.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I can't wait till you see it. I can't wait.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Can we get our picture taken? Let's do it? You
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: know where, you know where to find me? Right up?
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: I will.
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: I just have to say, I am a life I'm
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: a big big Seahawks. I've lived here sixteen years.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Go Hawks, Go Hawks, Let's get it. Hey, the last
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: time the Seahawks and the Mariners both made the playoffs
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: that following spring, a certain hockey team made the playoffs
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: as well. Right, that's the last time that happened all
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: three teams. It's it's kind of one all for one,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: one for all.
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: It feels like, right, well, what let's go cat, I
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: mean crack up todd light Wiki.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you bo bye. That is todd light Wiki and
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: we do appreciate his time yesterday. Yeah, not a lot
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: to give us on the On the NBA, I think
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: if you listen carefully to that, they're still working on it.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: I think despite what you'll see, sometimes there are conversations
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: taking place. It's frankly in the NBA's court. As he said,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: they're ready. You know they're ready. They've been ready since
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: they opened the building. To be honest with you, The
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: problem is is that the the league itself. From what
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: I understand, there's there's some internal conflicts between owners. There
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: are some that would welcome expansion and those massive expansion fees,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: and there are others who don't want to split the
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: new TV and media revenue money, which is pretty pretty massive,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: and they'd rather just keep it all themselves. They don't
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: want to add in more than likely Seattle in Vegas,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: and therein lies the problem. So I I'm not an
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver fan in any way, shape or form. I
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: think he is kind of adult and just kind of
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: a zero as far as you know, if we're looking,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: you know, he's not Rob Manfred, but he's not Goodell
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: or Betman like he's probably number three on the list
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: of competent commissioners and sports. But I think if he
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: had his druthers, I'm just guessing. I don't. I'm just
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: this is just a speculation and a pure guest. I
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: think he would probably want to have expansion. I think
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: he'd like to add Media Market twelve. Why wouldn't you.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: I think he'd like to do that, But it's not
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: up to him, it's up to the owners. If it
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: was still this is going to make me ill and
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: sick to my stomach to say this. If we still
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: had David Stern and he had an appetite for expanding
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: back into Seattle, and I know what he did. I
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: understand I don't need the tax i get it. But
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I think David Stern had the juice to say we're
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: going to get this done, just in.
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: Terms of the level of ability to single handedly make
• 59:15
  Speaker 8: a change if you wanted it is what you're saying.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think Goodell necessarily runs the NFL. I think
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: there's enough strong owners that kind of can can push
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: past him. I think Bettman and David Stern both had
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: that kind of juice when they ran Betman still does.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: People don't like him, especially north of the border, but
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: the way he's grown the league is you just can't
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: debate it. But I think when David Stern was running,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: David Sturn controlled things. He saved Sacramento. If he wanted
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: something to happen, he'd make it happen. And I just
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: don't think Adam Silver has that ability to do so.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: And that's that's the unfortunate thing for us here in Seattle,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: because we continue to wait. And my greatest fear as
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: far as the NBA is concerned in it coming back
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: is despite you know, as Todd said, we're ready, the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: building's ready and all that stuff, despite all that, I
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: just think there's some owners that are going to push
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: back and don't want to see it come here. And
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: I one thing I would one thing I would not
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: ever agree with anybody on. And this even goes the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: NHL I here, I think it's ridiculous. I think thirty
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: four teams works in the NHL, and we've heard expansion
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: talk there, including like Atlanta, which is a two time
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: loser already as a market. But you know, even with
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: the with the NHL and with the NBA, the globalization
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: of the games. I think the talent pool's fine. I
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: don't think that's a problem. Roster construction the NBA is interesting.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: You look at the NHL. The NHL is built on
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: kind of parody. Right now. Everybody in the Eastern Conference
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: is or was above five hundred yep and and the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: last place team in the Western Conference is only eleven points,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, five and a half games out
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: of a playoff spot. So the NHL is still competitive.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: The NBA truly does have it have and have not
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: like delinear like it's it's here. When you get to
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: that line and you drop down to the Wizards and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Jazz and teams like that, there's a have not thing
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: going on. But I think there's plenty of talent in
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: basketballs around the world. We see that, right You just
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: look at an NBA roster college basketball well, and look
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: at a draft. Every year in the NBA, it used
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: to be, okay, there's thirty first round picks and twenty
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: five of them are going to be from North America
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: or US maybe a Canadian sprinkled, and for the most
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: part in the United State.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Now it's half and half.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of years I mean making argument
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: the best player in the league is the joker.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Making an argument the two best players in league Wemby
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: two right and Lukat Daunchin.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. Well last year's MVP is Canadian yep, right,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: So I think there's plenty of I think there's plenty
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: of opportunity for guys for the talent. But it's it
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: just doesn't feel.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Like question for you.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 8: Of the two leagues that have thirty teams right now,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 8: the major sports MLB and NBA, which one do you
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 8: think is more likely to expand first?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Baseball?
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow? Only because I think they just to money
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: grab for them and they don't have the same lucrative
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: TV deal.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: It's true nationally they need more teams.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a I just have a pit in
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: my stomach because when Silver said how he stated it
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: like we'll make a decision in twenty twenty six, that
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: just feels like their decision is going to be no decision.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: It's no plan, plan.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: A meeting to have a meeting.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: It's a meeting.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: We're going to have a meeting, But do we want
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: to do it on teams? Let's all. I'll send you
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: a slack. That's what we'll do.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: I just gave me PTSD from television.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: Oh god, that's one thing we don't have here, slack,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: And I'm so so thanks.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: And we hardly we have teams, but we hardly use
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: it in that fashion.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: My other person, my other employer, has slack and I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: have feeling. Hey, I slacked you. What does that mean?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Just can he text me or send
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: me an email.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: That fast enough?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: We will check in on your voice texts and your
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: voice talkbacks and the text messages. Next from the R.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: And R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now back to Ian Furness,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: powered by Seattle's closest sports book. Snow call me Casino
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: R f M.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 11: I think if you sign a contract and then hit
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 11: the portal, the new schools have to pay your buyout
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 11: with the penalty feed, but you should also have to
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 11: sit out a year or lose a year of eligibility,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 11: just like they used to have to.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Be Bucky Jacobson Jersey number day.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: That's right, thirty three days until pitchers and catchers report.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 13: So here's my thought on the playoffs.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Everybody talks about.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 13: We need to play Carolina or Green Bay next week. Personally,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 13: I want to play the Rams. To be the best,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 13: you gotta beat the best. And for us to play
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 13: the Rams next week, beat them and hopefully go up
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 13: against the if any chance in Nancy Championship and knock
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 13: them out and go to the super Bowl would be
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 13: nothing sweeter.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Go Hawks, Go Hawks. The uh, we're all over the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: place there. Let me see. Let me take it in order.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: First guy, sign of contractions for Philip?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: Sure?
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is it a contract? I mean, I guess binding agreement.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Like a lot of people have a
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: lot of different opinions on that that have legal training
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: unlike us. But the by sitting out for a year,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I just that they I don't think that's I don't
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: think to put the toothpaste back in the tube on
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: that one. That's I know that. Like you're listening to
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Dave and Dick in the afternoon, they hope.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: He's to sit out here.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Sure, I I understand that. I think there's part of
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: me that thinks you should. It's almost be like a noncompete,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: right right right, But I don't think that's gonna happen,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: be realists here.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Let's that let's just be realist.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: It's not that happy Bucky Jacobs at thirty three days
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: til Pictures gets you, it is.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: I like it.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Wow, I can't believe that that season just ends.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, it sounds like it just ended.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 12: Well.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Also, yeah, this is also the I know people, this
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: is not me being bitter, and I just think that
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: one of the most overrated things in the rolls pictures
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: and catchers supporting let me know when the games start
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: for real, like spring training goes on forever, Like like
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: I know, my guy, I'm gonna talk to you in
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: ten minutes. He hates with a passion NFL preseason unless
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the sun in Arizona. I'm the same
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: way with baseball, like it's it's exists for one reason,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: to get the picture's arms ready. Yeah, that's why we
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: go a month and a half. If everybody else we
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: just go playing. We can pre practice games and go yeah, right,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: just go.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 8: The thing is about it, though, is there's so still
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 8: so many free agents and trades that have yet to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 8: happen that will so it's like the offseason still there.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 8: But then you're realizing that how close the season is
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 8: Rowdy tell is still available the first baseman?
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: What do you talk about?
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: That's true?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Where's rowdy Hano Suarez still in the market? They might
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: bring him back, that's a good point. I think they will.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: I think they will too.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: I think they will too.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 8: Trade tell Marte just go put the full Arizona Diamondbacks.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: I think do you think Gino is getting a little
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: bit of Oh my god, I'm not worth as much
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: as I thought I was right now?
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 11: No, I think.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 8: He's slowly playing it. I think, to be honest, I
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: think he wants to stay in Seattle. Yeah, and he's
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 8: making sure that he won't get like a butt load
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 8: somewhere else.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, before he like, oh wait, so he's gonna not
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: sign of something and then go somewhere else. Is he
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: not gonna do that? Why wouldn't he do that? Because
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: there's contracts? President League Baseball. Last guy was talking about
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: who wants see the playoffs? Wanted to see the best whatever.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Let's just it makes I'll tell you what it does.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 11: Do.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: It makes this weekend's games fun. Because I don't know
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: about most of you guys. I will find myself torn
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: throughout the weekend watching games. Yeah, do I want this
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: to happen or that to happen. Do I want this
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: team to win or that team to win?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Then that, yeah, exactly.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 8: Inevitably something will happen where it's like, oh, I thought
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 8: this team was terrible, Like everyone's not really fond of Chicago.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 8: If they go and destroy Green Bay this weekend, I
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 8: know you won't play them in the first round, but
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 8: it's like, like, dang, now, I don't want to face them.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 8: It's the team that gets hot at the most random time.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Well, if the Panthers and Bears both win on Saturday, right,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: that takes the Rams and the Packers out, correct, So
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: that would leave the four and the two. That would
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: leave the four and the two seed left. You would
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: be massively rooting for the Eagles at that point. Massively
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: rooting for the Eagles. I don't care if you want
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: to play the best or not. You're like, okay, Eagles
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: need to beat the forty nine ers so we can
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: see the Panthers. That's what you'd be rooting for that
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: point one hundred percent. So I think it's I mean,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: I brought it up. Every shows brought it up. We're
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: all gonna bring it up. What do you want to
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: see who you want to see. Really it, you'll know
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: as the weekend goes on who you're rooting for.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 8: See, I'm more interested in just looking at this weekend
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 8: from like just a fan, like now that like my
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 8: team's kind of out of it, I'm like, we're just
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 8: not out of it, but not playing playing this weekend?
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah right, I just want to die.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Who do you think is gonna win? Let's let's go.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: I think there's some great games.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 8: Niners Rams or sorry, Niners Eagles, great game.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: This is Marcus. I love spring training, but I do
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: hate preseason football. You're welcome from informing you how many
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: days are lefty and thank us for Buddy Marcus, who
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: must have left that talk back.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Because you love baseball.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 8: So like that's I think you're a little biased in
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 8: that one, but understood.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: I'll have to ask the top one off to ask
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Dave about that. I think they used to do interviews
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: They have a couple more talkbacks. I feeling against them.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Oh we do we do to Sorry continue.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 10: Okay, here's what frustrates me. I know that there's legitimate
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 10: critique of Sam Darnold and winning the Big One, but
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 10: why don't we hear the same thing about C. J.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 10: Stroud or Justin Herbert or even Josh Allen. You know,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 10: it's like all the focuses on Darnold when it shouldn't be.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, I mean, it's become this tired narrative and
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 10: it piffots me.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 12: Off either I and Justmin and eners Chris Berrien with
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 12: the demand Williams situation today, I really do believe dave
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 12: Niehouse said it best.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, the agent drops you.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 12: I got a whole box of popcorn here, I am
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 12: here for.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: All of it.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 5: Go coude sucking MutS.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: I'll read a couple of text here, production value, value,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 6: and nothing's Daveney House. It just continues, never get never
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: gets hold, never gets old.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: Six.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: You're enjoying the demand william saga, little man? You enjoy
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: it when this happens to a little pac Twell program. No,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: but I do enjoy see. Let me explain again how
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: a rivalry works. This is called rivalry one on one.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: You know what Softy's worrying tomorrow? Do you guys know
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: you got the sweatshirt? That's how it works. You want
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: to say you're a little man or your Petty. That's
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: how a rivalry works. I would be bummed if I
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: have I'm gonna wear it tomorrow. I couldn't wear it today.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: I forgot about this in the headlines. Boiler up with
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: the big win over Washington Basketball yesterday. Huh yeah, despite
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: the fact Brayden Smith was in foul trouble, didn't even
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: start the second half. Still smacked him all over the place.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: Huh.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: I have to start the second half, Let's be honest.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: No, he did. It was I mean it got to
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: within eight. I think, yeah, I got it, and they
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: chipped away at that lead. But yeah, Like, do you
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: think I won't wear my Purdue sweatshirt tomorrow? No, of
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: course I will. What soft you wearing? Indiana sweacher. That's
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: how a rivalry works. It's not that hard understand how
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: it works. Somebody texting about Dan Lanning sing I listened
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: to Dan Lanning comments three or four times. He said
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: the most politically correct, perfect thing you can ever say
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: as a coach. I think I think contracts should be honored.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: You want to put the old humil in truth serum
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: and Dan and Signetti gave no answer.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: Zero.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: He's like, whatever, man, I don't care he's trying to
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: prepare for a game. Honestly, they don't care. Like if
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: you listen with Dan Lanning, he didn't care. There is
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: a precedent that maybe some would be worried about. I
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: get that. I don't think Oregon's worried about it because
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: they pay guys.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: They are losing guys in the portal, but that's mostly
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: because of playing time and guys aren't going to be there.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: I think we might check in with the brunt of
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: them all to see what's going on down there, because
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: it's that's that that game huge. People are sleeping on
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: the Oregon defense, they're sleeping a little bit. I don't
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: think Dante Moore is that that. I just don't. Let's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: see what else we got. Don't want to get a
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: couple more in here are e c PA. Why is
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: it so cold in their ice?
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: I mean hockey, it's colder than it is really cold.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: It's honestly colder that it needs to be. I think
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier the NHL send a thing out to
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: all the rinks around the league. They a lot of fans,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: not just in Sale, complaining about the how cold it
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: is in there. Yeah, just don't show up in a
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: T shirt. You'll be fine, all right. And you know what,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: if you're going there and you're having a good time,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of libations later, you'll be good. Let me
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: recommend the Queen Anne Beer Hall before the game. Go
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: see my friends Justin and Gary up.

• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: He schedules his shows around the Boston Bruins away games.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty good. The tickets that we gave out
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: on the show happened to be right.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: So for folks that you know, listen, the cracking ticket

• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: the nosebleas.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: No, we're not.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, and even those are great seats, but like, yeah,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: Memorial Stadum is home to the largest rats of the city.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: And I still loved it. That's from the tool of six.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: Anybody whoever do you ever play their anders?

  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 1:13:19

• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: It's and I'm gonna tell you right now, I bet
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: the locker rooms and the bathrooms were exactly the same.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: And I was there thirty years before, and there is
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: something nostalgic about it. But what they're gonna do with
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: that new facility for the kids in Seattle and just
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: the city in conjunction with the city as a partnership
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: is going to be awesome. Like we need that kind
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: of smaller stadium, that smaller venue. I just I you know,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: I long for the days of Seattle Center being the
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: center of activity again. Now Todd talks about it in
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: very idealistic terms. I don't know if you ever get
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: back to that. I hope so be nice, be really nice. Okay,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: that's it. We're good. Checking with Softy next, and a

  Speaker 14: You know what I'd ask him tomorrow morning, by the way,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 14: fire away, I would ask him, what team do you think.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: You would handle the easiest in the wild card round?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting way is asked, did you kick? As
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: opposed to saying who do you want.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 7: To see the divisional round? Sorry?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: As opposed a phrase again, who do you want to
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: see in the first round? Which you'll never answer. Who
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: asked would you kick hard?
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 14: As I mean, of these out of these other teams,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 14: that the six other teams that are still alive, which
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 14: one would you dominate?
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: How about if he says, you know, I'll say it
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: did watch the Niner game, It's easily San Francisco. I've
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: got no problem. Kyle Shanahan's overrated. It's Baltimore too, that's right, Yes, absolutely, yeah,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: that's by the way.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 7: You know what happened, uh, fifteen years ago today.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: I was standing on the sideline of the twenty yard
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: line when it happens. There you go, watching that man,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what was going on through the
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: maze of bodies. This this all of a sudden, this
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: guy broke through and did his thing in the end zone. Yes,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: I heard the Columbus making his way down.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 7: The fields radio call of the beast quake.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: No is it good?
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 7: We're going to play it today?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Okay. Who was on the TV play by play that day?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 7: That would be Tom Hammond and Mike Mayock.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I remember the Mike Mayock specifically Mike.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: He says, are.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: You oh my god, are you kidding me?
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: That was unreal? That was unreal.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: There was not a flag on that play.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 14: He was even more there probably was about three or
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 14: four blocks on the back to back and watching.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: What was this?
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: They were up by seven or they were at the time.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 14: Yeah, they were definitely leading because that made it a
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 14: two score game that run. But yeah, it's still one
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 14: of the greatest runs in the history of the National
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 14: Football League. I mean honestly, like you think about the
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 14: greatest runs and the history of the NFL, like, how
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 14: many besides the Beast Quake actually come to your mind?
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: I thought he had a better one in Arizona. I agree,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: I thought the Arizona one was better. He didn't have
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: the same ramifications.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 7: But that's the problem is that this was a playoff game,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 7: so it's always going to be bigger.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Right, So the score at the Tomes thirty.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 14: What comes to mind for other great runs in the
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 14: history of the NFL, Marcus Allen and the Super Bowl?
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 14: Is that right against the Redskins.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 7: I believe it.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: Feels like I've got Gail Sayers in my head, like.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 7: Well, that's because you're ninety years old.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why. I think it's just and I hear that,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: I hear the NFL films music playing, and maybe it
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: was just the low angle look at Gail Sayers. He
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: just you know, but.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 14: I've got Jim Thorpe on my brain, do you how about.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 7: Did you watch Jim Thorpe play by the.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Way, I was at his first game?
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 7: What was he like in person?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Good dude, nice guy. Yeah, didn't really like doing postgame interviews.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: We were we were set up outside the locker room
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: myself and Shrammick and h into the interview.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 7: I mean the bo Jackson run on Morda nine four.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 7: I mean like the Hawks, right, yeah, this came to
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 7: my mind that would be one of them.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Can I I kind of want to forget about that one. God,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to forget about that one. I've kind
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: of put that one.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 7: On Brian Bosworth, by the way, he wants to forget
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 7: about it too.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: Marshall lens sixty seven yards and it was thirty four
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: to thirty and there's three twenty two loud.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: That's as close to like a game ceiling run as
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: it gets. Well, think about they went down to score
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: on the next drive, right, yeah.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 14: Anders, Imagine imagine if twenty four to twenty four Seahawks
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 14: have the ball against the forty nine ers or excuse me,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 14: the La Rams and the NFC championship game, and two
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 14: and a half weeks from now, Kenny Walker's in the
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 14: backfield clink Kobeek says, you know what, balls at the
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 14: minus thirty yard line. Let's just get a run here
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 14: and see what happens. If not, we're go to overtime.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 14: Katie Walker pops for a sixty five yard touchdown run
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 14: as the game expires and they win the game.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 7: How back poop crazy does that face go?
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 14: Because that's what I want, I mean, honestly, like, I'm
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 14: ready for something like that the bigger remember Cams picked
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 14: six against the Panthers in the wild card game. I
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 14: want to see that to end a game. But the
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 14: U championship, or to end the.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Sund thing with Yeah, that walk off that was unreal.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 14: I want to see a walk off pick six or
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 14: a walk off seventy yard run or a walk off
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 14: scoop and score.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Will you actually be in the stands around in the
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: lounge like they're.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 14: Gonna be down by fifty eight points in the fourth quarter,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 14: because if they are, we're going to leave.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: But you're not really gonna leave. You're just gonna be
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 14: The Ram game, we left and went across the street
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 14: to Jimmy's admit that okay. And the Packer game, we
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 14: went into the bar and watched the entire thing on
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 14: a little TV.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 7: And we weren't the only couple that.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 14: Had that idea, by the way, So you can thank
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 14: us for both of those wins because we stay, they
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 14: lose them both.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 7: By the way.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 14: You know what else is funny about that Green Bay game,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 14: which I was so angry about.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 7: The Green Bay game.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 14: It was what nineteen to six or nineteen to seven,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 14: whatever the score was. Russell threw like nineteen interceptions in
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 14: that game. I literally am on my phone, I swear
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 14: to God, guys trying to cancel my plane tickets to
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 14: Phoenix for the Super Bowl. Oh my god, but I
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 14: couldn't figure out how to use the Alaska app. It's
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 14: a good thing I'm an idiot, because if I was smart,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 14: it would have cost me like an extra four thousand
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 14: bucks for plane tickets to cook them again to get
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 14: down there.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 7: This threw those crap.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: When did you it was sixteen nothing before the gilliam touchdown.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Had you bail at sixteen?
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: We walked up.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 14: No, we walked up after Russell's last interception, whenever that happened.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 14: We walked up after that. I think there was one
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 14: more pick after Gilliams time. I think there was, yes, yeah,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 14: whatever that was. It was like sixteen, it was like
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 14: nineteen to seven, whatever it was. This is over come on.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 14: There's no way this is going to happen. Forget about it.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 14: Russell stinks. Russell still wide receivers are.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 7: Dropping everything right, It's just brutal.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like a couple went like right to
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: the one to curse his hands and he goes right
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: back to winning.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 14: You had the on side kick where who is the
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 14: guy Brandon Bostik right getting his ass ripped by the
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 14: special teams coach at Green Bay, Chris Matthews biggest play
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 14: made Seahawk history of Did Chris Matthews have a touchdown
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 14: against the Patriots?
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Chris Matthews probably should have been the m v P
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: if they would have won the game, right, Yeah.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 14: So you had that, you had the They had the
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 14: Luke Wilson two point conversion. Russell's going to his right
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 14: and he throws back to his left like just a prayer, throws.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 7: It up in the air.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: That was incredible.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 14: Haha, Clinton Dick's worst coverage ever yeap on a two
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 14: point conversion.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: And haha, by the way, you don't remember so.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 14: Literally waiting to make the play, like standing there waiting
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 14: for the ball, and then like lue just ten yards
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 14: forward some idiotic reason, Luke Wilson catches the ball. And
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 14: then they remember the Marshawn Lynch touchdown where he crossed
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 14: the car the end zone in the corner and Doug
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 14: Baldwin went up to like smack him on the ass,
• 1:21:08

  Speaker 1: The I was just looking back Umember before that curse,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: like so much happened in that game, Like it's like
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: they faced a third and seven of their thirty and
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: if they if they've got a punt, right, because after
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Russell got sacked, if they've got a punt, probably gonna
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: lose a game, right, Like, they're probably gonna lose a game,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: and instead Russell goes to batting for thirty five yards.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 14: My memory, my memory of that game also is that
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 14: Richard Sherman was playing with one arm and Aaron.

  Speaker 7: Rodgers still wouldn't test him. No, unbelievable. And the guy's
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 7: got one arm, Like, what are you doing, dude?

• 1:22:16
  Speaker 14: one of those guys, to be honest with you, I

• 1:22:20
  Speaker 14: that guy really has, what he's accomplished in the NFL
