• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome in here on a Friday. We've got
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: some college football. We've got some NFL football. We've got
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: some Mariners to get to today. It's all here. TBA
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: on who's pitching tonight for the Los Marineros. I don't
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: know why it's got to.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Be a secret.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to check around. Have we seen anything?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen anything.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe I missed something.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, Emerson Hancock. Emerson Hancock.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Hancock. Hancock, I believe, is going tonight. That's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: according to one website.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: They have.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It's weird they haven't set up their game notes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I say that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: No.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Still not out. And this is all internal stuff.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: But we get the media notes usually.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: About four or five hours before.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: If it's a home game, you get them around 1.30
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: or so. I literally just from Divish, Hammers and Hancock
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: will start tonight. Yeah.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, because they're already at the ballpark. It's 3.30,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: 3 o'clock.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: No game notes.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: So we don't know the probables for the rest of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the season. Because is Cade going tomorrow?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I think I would line him up for that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll get to that here in a little bit.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Chris Crawford's going to join us. You and Chris and I, Anders,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: will round the horn, talk about this series, what it means,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and yeah, a little bit of fun kind of previewing
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that as well. I was on with some guys, the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Toronto station today, Sportsnet, something up there in Toronto, the fan,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the fan in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We talked to everything.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We talked Seahawks, we talked Kraken, and a lot of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Mariners as well. And they kind of said the same thing,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and we'll mention this to Chris coming up at 1220.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're mirror images of each other, these two teams.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: They're superstar, hammer, guy that's got to be your aircraft
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: carrier has been awful with glimpses of hope along the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: way and then 0 for 4. Guerrero's the same way
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for them. They've had some injuries, a lot of injuries.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The expectations were get back to the World Series. Now they,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: like Seattle, are just scrapping to get into the playoffs.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Unlike Seattle, the Blue Jays, And I'll see what Chris
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: says about this, and I'll get your thoughts. Hold them
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: until 1220. But talking to Eno Saris yesterday, Eno's like, well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it's– what did I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: say to him? I said, I think if one of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: these two teams sweeps, you can pretty much write them
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: off out of the wild card. And Eno's like, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: don't know. Well, not– okay, mathematically you can't.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: No.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Realistically you can because realistically if someone takes three– Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: You're six back.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You're in trouble.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Seven back even.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in trouble. Someone's going to win two of three,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and we're just going to have the same muddled mess. Yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that's true. Mark my word right now. On Monday, when
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we reconvene and we do a little Molly Watt Monday,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we'll add Nathan to the mix. We're going to sit
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: here and someone's going to have taken two or three
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and nothing will have been decided.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: One game would have changed. And this is why the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: whole baseball's a long season, it's early crap is true, actually.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Because you could still... We're five-sixths of the way through
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the season and we have nothing decided yet.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Nothing.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It's like, what's going on? Well, we do know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: In a sense, we do know some playoff teams. We
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: know there's a handful of teams that know that they're in.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Tampa knows that it's in. New York Yankees know that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it's in. They know the Rays, the Yankees, the White Sox,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: barring an absolute collapse, those three teams, Boston, Boston's in.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So Boston Yankees, Tampa Bay, and probably the White Sox
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: can all pretty much count on being in.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: But at this point of the NFL season... In the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: American League. But at this point of the NFL season,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: is it a higher percentage of teams that have their
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: season done?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't even know. What would the percentage be?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Like 5-6, whatever that is.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: What percentage of the... Where would we be in the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: NFL season?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to think about.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Do some math for me.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Probably like... Week 11? No, further than that. Week 13, 14? Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We'd be pretty close. I mean, honestly, there's two spots
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: up for grabs.
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The final wildcard spot and the AL West.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Now I say that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: But how many teams are in that race?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Three in the.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: AL West and what, six in the wildcard? Right.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Which, I mean, I guess Cleveland's only two and a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: half back of Chicago. But boy, Chicago's, I mean, there's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: seven games above 500. Like for somebody to, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they'd have to collapse. The point is this. There's not,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: there's really, we're playing musical chairs.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we are.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: There's probably, for teams like, Toronto's got one chair. They've
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: got like six teams and they've got one chair. Seattle
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: has two chairs because they have the AL West still.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They still have a chance. I mean, there's three out.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I just, I, there's like, there's a part of me.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: This is the absolute sicko in me wants to see
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the AL West winner be 80 and 82.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And then go to the world series. Yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: That's the sicko in me. I want them to be 80.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. Well, I mean, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: want the Mariners obviously to win it, but I, we've
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: talked about it so often that this team is going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to do exactly that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: This team is going to do exactly what we just mentioned.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They are going to, They're going to just fiddle around
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: all year, make people upset the entire season, and then
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: turn it around and all of a sudden in October
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: get in.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, here we go.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Mariners game notes. Emerson Hancock goes tonight. Guess who's going tomorrow?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: TBA.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Guess who's going on Sunday?
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: TBA.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: TBA. Well, it's because they're trying, I think they're still
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out if they want to start Bryce
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Miller or not.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well, and who's hurt? Is Wu hurt? Is Miller hurt?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think Wu would be in the rotation.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying, but I mean, but here's the thing.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Is he hurt?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Is he hurt?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Because if he's hurt-hurt... Then you need to go Bryce Miller.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Then what if he's hurt and Miller's hurt? Then you've
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: got all kinds of it. You've gone from six down
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to four.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Right? Even while calling up Kate Anderson. Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Well, right now you've got six. You could be down
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to four.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: What a mess.
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Absolutely a mess.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Crawford here in a few minutes, and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we'll go around the horn on this and get his
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: thoughts on Toronto as well. The Seahawks wrap up the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: preseason tonight, and even the most.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Ardent, excited, I like anything NFL. I'll watch the NFL.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It's football.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Four quarters of Jalen Monroe, baby!
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Which, that's the only part I'm intrigued about. But even
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: all these games are so worthless at this point. The
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: NHL got smart. They increased the season by two, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: they got rid of two preseason games. I honestly think
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that four preseason games in the NHL is too much.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But that's also revenue for the owners. Let's keep that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: in mind. Why does the NFL still have preseason? It's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: individual ownership revenue. Whatever you do for your local media
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: rights in this town, for example, Tegna King TV, they're
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks television partner. You pay well into seven figures
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to be their TV partner, not because you can carry
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: regular season games, everything's on the network, but because you carry,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in this case, two preseason games, which will have big money,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: big ad revenue attached to it, plus all the other
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: stuff during the season.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: We just go to 18 games in another bi-week.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And you get the home game revenue as well. You
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: don't have to share it. All the preseason money stays
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: in the city it's in, right?
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And you ask, can we go to 18? Yeah, next
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement, they'll go to 18.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And then no preseason?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Probably two. They'll probably do two. Maybe they'll, I mean.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Why do we need it? They still.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I think there's still a push by some football people.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Well, two things. Again, it goes back to revenue.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Those owners... Okay, here's the thing with an owner. If
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you go to 18, so you got nine home games.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, right?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You have nine.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And then you can get the extra bye week.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get rid of preseason because when
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you had a 16-game schedule, you had eight home games
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and you had two preseason games. You had 10 home games.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: You're not cutting back your home games.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Just do that math for a second.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: But they did for the 17 games, I guess, with
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the preseason, though. They still have 9-1. They still got 10, right?
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And if you have the extra one, sometimes you go,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: they're not cutting back. But I think we all would say,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: let's just go to two preseason games. They're never going
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to go to none. Here's the thing. No sport does
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: no preseason.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: College football.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Which thinks it's pros, and I get that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they do a preseason. USC's got a preseason game
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: against San Jose State tomorrow. Week zero can basically be
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: called preseason. Or even week one, depending on who you're playing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But it still counts against your record.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It still counts against your record. But they're student-athletes, Anders.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: We need to protect them.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Can you remember that, please? Oh, yeah, for sure.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Can you please remember that? But no, I think tonight's game,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it's Millrell. He had a chance last year, didn't really
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: get it done. He's got a chance tonight to play
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: all four quarters. The problem with it is, and this
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is the hard part for me, and we'll do hardcore
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: football preseason version on Monday with Hugh, but the thing
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: with this is you got Milrow out there, but he's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: playing with threes and fours. Now, you can make the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: argument he's playing against threes and fours, sure, but you're
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: never really going to get a true feel for what
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Jalen Milrow has. He's throwing to a bunch of guys
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that will be off team and on the streets next week.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: More importantly, the guys blocking for him are not going
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to be here. And that, I think, has been as
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: much of a problem as anything. He has hurt himself
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to be sure. There's no doubt about that. But Jalen
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Milrow hasn't had a lot of help. So we'll see
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: what he does tonight. It's kind of a... And here's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the other thing. Second time this preseason that they're playing
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a team that they see in.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: The regular season. See, that's the weird part.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Which is really weird. Yeah, I was talking when we
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: did the game for the Dallas game with Cam, Cleveland,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: he's like, this never happened when I played.
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: So, I don't know.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Let's get Crawford on. Let's go around the horn.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Unlike Apple TV broadcast tonight, and Godspeed to everyone watching that, because...
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: For a lot of reasons, but at the top of
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the list is you're going to relive probably over and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: over again. If you think you're sick and tired as
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a Mariner fan about seeing the double down the left
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: field line with Edgar, you're going to be begging for
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that tonight.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Because you're going to see a lot of George Springer
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and a lot of Edward Brazardo and a lot of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: something that didn't turn out too well for the team here.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You're going to see that a lot tonight.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Tonight.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Godspeed to you. We won't delve into that. We'll just
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: talk about the game itself, the series, how important it is.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Our buddy Chris Crawford missed him this week on Monday.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: He's going to join us coming up next.
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the Huskies, Kraken,
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: and the 12th man. Brought to you by Seattle's closest
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: Snoqualmie Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: All righty, welcome back in. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: If any of you are with us with you on
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a Friday afternoon, we've got some baseball conversation. We'll transition
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to some National Football League. Danny O'Neill at 1.20 as well,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: after Greg Bell at 1 o'clock, and then Rob Rang
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: getting you ready for the Week Zero College Football Weekend.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Just touching this so daintily in here, Anders. This little
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: microphone is just ready to.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: A.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Little limp?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, limp. Crawford, stop laughing.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: All right. Uh, all right, here we go. We got,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: we missed him on Monday. He's back with us and,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: we'll see him on Monday and talk to him on
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Monday with, uh, Nathan Bishop, but, uh, our buddy, Chris Crawford,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: mile wide joining us. I want to get him on
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: this week. I want to get him just, uh, honestly,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the three of us kind of go around the horn,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: talk about this series, massive, massive series, a big series
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: coming up with Seattle and Toronto. Uh, I mentioned to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Anderson guy and the audience in the first segment, I was,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I did a radio hit Chris with some guys up
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: in Toronto, uh, on the way in today. And they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: said kind of the same thing we said yesterday on
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the show. You and I talked about it a little
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: bit yesterday on the phone, too. This literally is looking
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: at two teams in the mirror. The last year's ALCS
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: teams are kind of identical, are they not?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Did we lose Chris? I think Chris just froze. Yeah,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: he just froze. We're waiting.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: We're waiting.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: He might be there.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: He'll pop back in a second. We'll get to that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in a second. Anders, yes.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Are they just, are they absolutely? Yeah, I mean, two
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: teams that had expectations and, you know, got really close
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to winning the World Series last year. Obviously the Toronto
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: a little bit closer, getting to game seven of the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: World Series. But, and it's been a long time for
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: them too. Definitely not as long as the Mariners, but
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: they're in the same category where they felt like they
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: could take that next step this year. And it's just
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: been just god-awful from them for most of the year.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Lots of injuries, which the Mariners have had as well.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And you mentioned kind of the star player not playing well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Vlad Guerrero and Cal Raleigh for the Mariners. So yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of mirror imaging here with each other. Oh,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Chris is back. He's back. There he is.
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: Bates Battaglia. I got a new laptop. Bates Battaglia is back.
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: I got a new laptop the other day, and the
• 13:39
  Speaker 11: power button is incredibly sensitive. So literally, as I was answering,
• 13:43
  Speaker 11: the whole thing just shut the you-know-what off. So that
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: was fun. But all I was saying was that Both
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: teams have struggled, but both teams have a chance to
• 13:52
  Speaker 11: play spoiler. And that's what kind of makes this series
• 13:54
  Speaker 11: a little more fun is not only do you have
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: a chance to get back into it for both these teams,
• 14:00
  Speaker 11: both teams have a chance to kind of ruin the
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: other team's series. And I think this is the Mariners'
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: biggest rival right now. All due respect to the Astros,
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: the Toronto Blue Jays, I believe, are the Seattle Mariners'
• 14:11
  Speaker 11: biggest rival for a lot of reasons, on-field, off-field, location-based.
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: So this is going to be fun, and it's going
• 14:19
  Speaker 11: to be huge because if the Mariners have any chance
• 14:22
  Speaker 11: of being in the wild card hunt, I think you've
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: got to take at least two of three.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Let me pivot for a second. That's a great– I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: hadn't thought of it in those terms. But, yes, the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Vancouver Blue Jays, who play out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada's team–
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: For many, although there is such an anti-Toronto sentiment for
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in the country, especially in Western Canada.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think for all, you're right. I think
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: this is, I was, I'm going to say, I hated
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the schedule this year. When they came, they came the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: July 4th holiday weekend. And in theory, you'd think, oh,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. The problem is, is like, that's a holiday weekend.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people in the summer that
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: just were out of town. They had their own things
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: going on. It just wasn't, like, give me them in May,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: any other time. Like, it's almost as bad as the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yankees playing the first series here, right? Like, you just, like,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: who at Major League Baseball hates Seattle that much? But
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that said, as we look at the, I think you're right.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: This is the rivalry, and it has to do with
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of different things, right? Because it's not just,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it's A, the fans that come down and annoy our fans,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: but B... How do you get a rivalry in sports?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Playoffs.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Playoffs.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Playoffs.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And it's not just last year. It's 2022 as well.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: They've had two playoff appearances against these guys. I agree
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: with you. I think that's it. Houston's probably a close
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: number two for your rival.
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: For sure.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: For sure.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: But we see the Houston effect because Bregman comes to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: town and gets booed.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Springer comes to town and gets booed. It's like outside
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: of the little dwarf, there's nobody left in Houston, is there?
• 15:56
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: That matters?
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: No.
• 15:58
  Speaker 11: That's the thing too, though, Ian is how much has
• 16:00
  Speaker 11: this rotated? Because in the mid nineties, when the Mariners
• 16:04
  Speaker 11: finally were competent, it was the angels.
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: And then it moved quickly to the Rangers. They battled
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: for a.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Couple of times.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: Then it went to the ACE.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:12
  Speaker 11: And then, and now for a while, it's been Houston
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: a little bit, but with some mixed in stuff here.
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: So like, The division rivals really whoever else is good.
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: I think Toronto has a chance, and I think it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: fun that we have a chance to have this rivalry.
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: It is better when we have stuff like this. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: hate the scheduling stuff, by the way. They don't come
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: to Seattle next year until September 17th. So it's going
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: to be a while before we see Toronto back in Seattle.
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: But yeah, it's fun.
• 16:41
  Speaker 11: It's fun to have this rivalry as long as we
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: can keep it civil. And there were times last year
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: and it was not, and that was, yeah, unfortunately that was, uh,
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: that was a low point for sure.
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: And I hated that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: And I was ready to fight everyone in the entire
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: country for my buddy.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: But, uh, this is fun.
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: It is fun that you have a rival that is, um,
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: maybe not traditional, but it's there.
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: It's there for sure.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Anders, would you agree? That's the rival. Yeah, I mean,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: not just for my own personal reasons, but I think
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: because of what you guys talked about, the The proximity thing,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I think, ticks off Mariner fans almost more than anything else.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: If you're talking about when teams come to Seattle, what
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: angers you? What gives you the strongest feelings? It's when
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Toronto comes down here and invades the ballpark. It's a
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: thing every single year. And then you put together two
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: really good playoff series in the last five years, last
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: six years, I should say. Not five years. then that
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: adds to it even more so. So, yeah, I think
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that's definitely the Toronto Blue Jays.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Chris, give me just a feel, like, who is Toronto
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: this year? And we'll get to some other topics, more Mariners-centric, Cal,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the pitching staff, the rotation, all that. We'll get to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that in a second. Just let me lean on your expertise.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Who is Toronto this year?
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: I mean, a last-place team in the American League East,
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: which is just a crazy.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Thing to say.
• 18:02
  Speaker 11: I don't think anyone could have expected that. Now, One
• 18:06
  Speaker 11: of the big reasons for it is that Vladimir Guerrero Jr.,
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: one of the most talented hitters I've ever seen, and
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: a guy who's put up some big numbers as a
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: 684 OPS this year, and it's hit all of, you complain.
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: About big dumpers power? Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: Is not even halfway to big dumper. He has seven
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: home runs this year. That big beefy boy has only
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: hit the ball over the fence seven times this year,
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: and they just They haven't gotten the offensive contributions. There's
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: not a single regular in their lineup who has an
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: OPS above 750 outside of Jesus Sanchez, who's a platoon
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: player who doesn't play against left handed. They can't hit.
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: They are just a bad offensive baseball team. They have
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: some good pitchers for sure. Like Dylan Cease is. Absolutely,
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: I think, in the Cy Young conversation, probably not going.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: To win it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: He goes tonight, by the way. He goes tonight.
• 18:55
  Speaker 11: Yes, and that is a very, very tough matchup for sure.
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: 209 strikeouts and 144 in the third inning, so you
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: can miss bats with the best of them. Treya Savage
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: is another guy who has a chance to be a
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: star in the next couple of years.
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: Their pitching's fine. They have a good closer in Louie Varland, but.
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: they they're just not a good offensive team and this
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: is a team that I think you can get right
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: against now I really think they kind of got right
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: against the Phillies I hate turning point I hate momentum
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: momentum is just rolling a rock down the hill that's
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: that's what momentum is in sports in my humble estimation
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: but they certainly played well over these that homestand they
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: certainly looked like a pretty darn good team now they
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: got a show they can do it on the road
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: and I think this is a good opportunity.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: That is Chris Crawford, Anders Hurst with me as well, who,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: by the way, did a terrific job playing the role
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of Chris Crawford on Monday. He's now he's now, he's
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: now done both the Molly Whoppers. He played the role
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: of Nathan Bishop and the role of Chris Crawford. I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: think he plays the role of Nathan Bishop better than
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the role of Chris Crawford. You know, there's just a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: little cantankerous, you know, a little acid to the, yeah,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's.
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: Crazy to me that I'm the positive guy of those guys,
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: because like, Everywhere else around the internet, I am known
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: as the most negative SOB in the world, but because
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: Nathan is so cranky and honest, I am the positive Percy,
• 20:17
  Speaker 11: and I love it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: I love positive Percy Harvey.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Let me find... I've got to share this with everybody.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I've got to share this. The text we received at
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: 7.55 in the morning.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: So on our group thread, we got this text at
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: 7.55 this morning from Nathan Bishop. Quote, been in the lab.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Here's a Taylor Ward, Rob Refsnyder hit tracker. He did
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a graphic. Headshots of both.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: We need to post this on our Twitter. We got
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: to post this. Get permission.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Please get permission. So nobody likes the hit tracker more
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: than Nathan. The hit tracker has Taylor Ward with his
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: six hits as a mariner. And Rob Refsnyder with his
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: 16 hits as a Mariner. That's the tracker going on
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: right now. God, he is a treat, is he not?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Just every now and then he'll just been in the lab.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Here's a little graphic. We got to find a way
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to post that because it's fantastic. But that said, Chris,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: what the hell's going on with Taylor Ward? I thought
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: he was supposed to walk.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: And that's the thing is like, and he has drawn
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: six walks in 53 at bats.
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: That's not. horrible, but it's not ideal.
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: And the most important thing is he has a 217
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: on base percentage. And he, the, the lack of power
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: that he showed coming into joining Seattle has carried over.
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: Like he just doesn't drive the baseball at all. I
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: kind of wonder if he's a hundred percent healthy because
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: how do you, it's okay to go from 36 home
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: runs to a lesser amount, but to go from the
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: fact that you can't drive the baseball whatsoever is a
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: incredibly concerning and weird but i mean he has to
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: get on base they they brought him in to do
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: just that and he has not done it whatsoever and
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: again you can blame the scouting you can blame bad
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: luck i blame wherever the hell that stadium was built
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: because it's got to be on top of just thousands
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: of lords that were not supposed to be messed with
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: it has to have it had to have There's no
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: other excuse for it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this just for me adds another tick
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: into the column of the Teosca Hernandez right-handed hitters can't
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: hit here conversation. And for whatever reason, it's always right-handed
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: hitters that when they get, they have success somewhere else,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: they come to Seattle and they just have zero success.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I think the only one that has come here and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: has any sort of success is is a Eugenio Suarez.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: And even last year when he got Randy, Randy too,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I guess you're right.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: That's a good point.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. But even Julio, who's been here
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: his whole career has always been a better hitter, much
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: better hitter on the road, like significantly higher. So I
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: have no idea what's going on with that whole thing,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: but the more data points that we get suggesting that
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: right-handed hitters literally cannot come here and have success, the
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: more I just think we should fill our team with
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: left-handed hitters.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Might be a good idea. That's Chris Crawford in Andersonhurst. Yeah,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: how are you? We'll get to... I'm sorry, I got
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to close my phone. I got the graphic. It looks
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: like something from The Price is Right, by the way.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Remember the little hill? Remember the hill? Yeah, that's the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: graphic that he.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Just a moron, this guy.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he is.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: He's our moron, though.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: We love him.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let's talk hitters for a second. Cal Rowley, homestand,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: 7 of 20, 350, five home runs, eight RBIs, four walks,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: six strikeouts. All that damage, though, came in the first
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: five games, last game, before they hit the road, 0
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: for 4 with four punchouts. So the previous road trip
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: was horrific for him.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Is Cal back, Chris? I don't know.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: That's, that's the easiest answer.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Well, because everyone wants to say he's back. He's back.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: He's back.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: He, he certainly looked really good.
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: And you know, yesterday was a, or excuse me, Wednesday
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: was a big old struggle for him. Jesus Lizardo probably
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: pitched the best of any pitcher I've seen against the
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: Seattle Mariners this year. I have to just give him
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: a ton of credit. Like you do have to give
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: credit to the other team. Sometimes it's, it's harder to
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: do when we've seen so many struggles from the team
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: that we can, do that. But like they looked so
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: good offensively for most of this series or excuse me,
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: most of this homestand that I'm willing to give him
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: a little bit of a pass. It was just great
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: to see him drive the baseball from the left side
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: that all four of those homers were from his left-handed
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: swing because he just wasn't hitting the ball even kind
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: of hard from that side and striking out so often.
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: And I don't think he's comfortable swinging from that side.
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: He sure looked comfortable though on that day against, you know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: Zach Wheeler was far from his best and has been
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: going through it a little bit in August, but that's.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: Still Zach Wheeler. You still have to get the job done.
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: And what I'll say too, for Cal is like, I
• 25:03
  Speaker 11: give him credit for always, always is probably the wrong word.
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: He still draws his walks. He's still a guy who's patient.
• 25:10
  Speaker 11: He still trusts the process there that matters. And I
• 25:14
  Speaker 11: think he's starting to get rewarded for it a little bit.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: And you know, He's going.
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: Away, but he's going somewhere he's awfully comfortable with for
• 25:22
  Speaker 11: the next three days. His numbers in Toronto and some
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: of the big clutch hits that he's had in Toronto
• 25:28
  Speaker 11: are pretty obvious.
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: So, yeah, I'm encouraged by what I've seen.
• 25:33
  Speaker 11: Saying he's back is tough because is he back to
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: being the 60 homer guy?
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: Hell no. I'm just going to say that right now.
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: Is he back to being the guy who hit 34
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: home runs and 30 the year before that?
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: I think he might be.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the eye test, and Chris and I,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: when we were doing our postcast, would always have the
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: process versus result discussion. And that's the thing that I'm
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: encouraged with Cal Raleigh, is that the process looks much better.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: We talked about this with Eno, what was it, yesterday? Yeah.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Where he's swinging at more strikes and taking more balls, right?
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And that's the big thing where... That obviously is a
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: good process, right? You want to swing at pitches in
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: the zone and take the ones that are outside the zone.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: But he has been struggling with that compared to years
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: past with him this year. So the fact that he's
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: doing that a little bit more should get him more
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: on time. It should give him more confidence as well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Even if they don't come into the zone a little
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: bit more, he's going to walk more. I think the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: eye test is showing me that he's a different player
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: now than he was maybe three or four weeks ago.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: We will never look back on this season with Cal
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Raleigh's numbers and say, oh, he was totally fine. The
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: same Cal Raleigh. Because that's already past that point at
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: this stretch. But if he's able to have a good
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: September and then carry us to the playoffs, we'll be...
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Just fine with that point at this stage.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Of the season. We know who's pitching for the Blue
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Jays this weekend. A guy that could be the Cy
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Young conversation. Soriano is 10-7, a 3-4-3 ERA tomorrow. And
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: then I had to take a double take three or
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: four times to see the numbers for Max Scherzer, 1-7,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a 7.02 ERA. He's like 45. Yeah, maybe older. But
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Mariners go with Hancock tonight, and then TBA, TBA. So
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the question, Chris, is what are they waiting for? Are
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: they waiting to see who's healthy? Is Wu unhealthy? Not
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: that he would go in this weekend, but where's Wu's status?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: What's the status of Bryce Miller? Is there a chance
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: this team could go from having six starters and people
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: stressing out over six starters and a piggyback or whatever
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: they might do to having four starters?
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I guess it's possible.
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: I mean, I would still bet on Kate Anderson starting
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: on Saturday and then probably Miller going on Sunday, but
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: I guess we'll have to see what happens there just because, um,
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: Miller's looked so bad, like so bad is such an understatement.
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: And look, I feel terrible for him because of the
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: fact that he's the guy who started 41 to two.
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: And let's just be honest. Those, those are the numbers
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: of his last few starts. They've lost 41 to two.
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: He's not responsible for the overwhelming majority of that damage,
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: but He certainly hasn't been anything who has tried to
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: stop this either. And I, you know, I've talked about
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: this ad nauseum on lockdown and on whatever. Bryce Miller
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: would be a perfect addition to this bullpen, a perfect
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: addition as a guy who can go multi-innings, who's the
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: rise on his fastball would be so, and going extreme
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: effort to every once in a while, like getting that
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: up to a hundred miles per hour with that type
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: of effort. I think that Bryce Miller would be an
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: excellent bullpen option, and I think the Mariners are just
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: kind of playing wait and see here a little bit,
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: but I don't know if you can be more patient
• 28:55
  Speaker 11: with Bryce Miller because as good as he looked to
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: begin the year, he's been just that bad lately.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to use the four-letter word that's not
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: four letters. Guys, would a Kate Anderson start with a
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Bryce Miller piggyback be a wise move if he's healthy?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Because do we not learn with Bryce Miller? Listen, what
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you've done with him all year in AA, you're not
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: going to extend him into the 6th, 7th, 8th innings, right?
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, with Kate Anderson, you mean?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: No, and we better not. Boy, the one thing I
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: regretted about Missing Monday was not screaming about Kate Anderson
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: being used in that 6th inning because it's just malpractice
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: doesn't even begin to describe it there. But yeah, you
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: know you're managing his innings and also you're managing like
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: expectations and also i think it's a big thing while
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: i think momentum and stuff is a nonsense as i
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: mentioned I do believe confidence is a big thing and
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: having Kate Anderson and starts with confidence. Like that would
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: have been huge there. And we'll see how he bounces back.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: I think Martin Hanks is going to be just fine.
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: I just can't help, but see Martin Hanks, by the way, Ian,
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: when I see him with that neck, it is so
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: long and I can't.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Help it, but that is it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: Um, I do think that that's important.
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: And I think that if you wanted to go five
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: innings there and a couple innings of Miller and then
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: a couple innings with Miller two or three days later
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: for other guys, I don't hate it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: And that's the big thing with me is like, I
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: don't like just saying that okay we're piggybacking these two
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: guys no matter what because then you're you're kind of
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: put sticking yourself into this rigid routine whereas like you
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: have no other like um way to work around that
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: right so say uh you you just put miller into
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: the bullpen which is what i would do if brian
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: was healthy by the way we don't really know if
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: that's the case at this point of the season either
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: um But if that is the case, then you can, yeah,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: maybe use him frequently during Kate Anderson starts, but then
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: use him in other starts as well if you have
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: a situation where George Kirby gets rocked in the first
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: couple innings. So you don't have to ride guys until
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: at least the fifth inning and it's 8-0 at that point.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: You can treat every game like a playoff game. If
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you have a guy like that in your bullpen, you
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: can use every couple of days for multiple innings. I
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: think that's exactly what they should be doing, and it's
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: a weapon that they haven't really utilized.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: All right, well, Rhett.
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: You have to do that by the way, just real quick.
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: You have to treat every game kind of playoff game
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: adjacent right now. Like you, every loss now is a
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: massive leap down. Like you are jumping. The yodel lady
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: thing is falling down as with each loss that you
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: are having here.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: So you have to.
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: Treat every game with so much more importance now, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: you can't afford these. You simply cannot afford to have
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: these losses. blow up games that affect your bullpen for
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: not just the day, but a couple of days. So
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: there has to be a sense of urgency. And I
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: think moving Miller to the bullpen helps with that sense
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: of urgency.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: If they go 18 and 10, the Mariners, let me
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: emphasize that 18 and 10, the rest of the way
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: they finished 82 and 80, they have to go 18
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and 10. Now we also could be looking at an
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: 80 and 82 division winner to NFC, NFC South 2025 style. So,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: That could happen too, but that's what we're looking at.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: All right. Chris, we will reconvene on Monday.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: And we will mollywop it. We'll have Nathan bring visual
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: graphics for us. Uh, the, the, the hit, the hit,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the ref's.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Not, we need to get these guys on the YouTube,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: like straight up. I know.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I just want, I want to, I got it.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: We have to get permission for the ref Snyder, Taylor Ward,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: die hit tracker, uh, Yoda lady who from price is
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: right on there. We got to get him to let
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: us post that. Cause that is absolutely sensational. Spit my
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: coffee out this morning. Uh, in the meantime, you mile lying.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Tonight, sir.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: My why after every single Seattle Mariner game and check
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: out NBC Sports slash Roto World.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: They'll go check it out. That's Chris Crawford. We will
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: talk to him Monday. Anders, I'll talk to you next.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: We got Greg Bell coming up at one o'clock talking
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Seahawks and Chiefs 93.3 KGRFM.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the Huskies, Kraken,
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: and the 12th man. Brought to you by Seattle's closest
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: Snoqualmie Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio 93.3, KJR-FM. All right.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I'll check in with Greg Bell here in about 10 minutes' time.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: He just landed in Kansas City.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Didn't do his show today.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Mike Benton filled in as Greg was traveling for the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: News Tribune to cover the Chiefs in the Seahawks preseason
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: game later on this afternoon.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: At 5 p.m.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: The process of cuts have already begun for at least
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: one team. The Cleveland Browns made a bunch of moves,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: 16 guys gone. I'm looking through the list, Anders, because
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: your first inclination is, well, it's the Cleveland Browns, so
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you probably don't want any of their guys.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: And then I look through the list, and the answer is, yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you probably don't want.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Any of their guys.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I have no idea who any of those dudes are.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Fair enough.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: 16 guys waived today. I'm actually really surprised that you would.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just so used to the Seahawks being the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: last team every year announcing their cuts.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: But I would think you'd wait until everybody was done
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: with the preseason and see what else is out there.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe you're trying to get ahead.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there's a reason you're.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: The Cleveland Browns.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there's a reason that you are who you are
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and that's who the Cleveland Browns are. We wrap up
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: our baseball talk real quick and then we'll move on
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to football coming up in the next hour. this series tonight,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: it's wild what Chris said because I had not thought
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: of it in these terms before. The Toronto Blue Jays
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: are in last place in the American League East, yet
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays are only three and a half
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: games out of a playoff spot. Not in the American
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: League East, no, but in.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: The wild card. They're a half game ahead of Seattle.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: They have one more win than the Mariners do this
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: season at 64 and So wait, let me put those
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: two things together, Ian. If the Mariners were in the
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: AL East, they would be in last place.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: They would be in last place.
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: Interesting.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: They would be in last place.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: And they would be two games out of last place
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: in the AL Central. For those, if you want to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: keep going down that road for a second. But in fairness,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: so would the Rangers and the Astros.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Although they'd be a little bit higher up.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: A little bit higher.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but not, but they'd still be.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Not by much.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: They would still both be in last place. No, actually,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Houston would be in. Fourth place in the AL East.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe ahead of Toronto, yes. Maybe ahead of Baltimore and Toronto.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to stick by my guns. I think this
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: is a really simple thing. If someone gets a series
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: sweep this weekend, they can kiss the wild card goodbye.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I think that that's.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: And in Toronto's case, if they kiss the wild card goodbye,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: that would be kissing their playoffs goodbye.
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: They're done.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: They're done. Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: They're 15 games.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: They're 11 games behind the Yankees in second place, but
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: they're 15 out of first. They're not catching them. And
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: then the other number that just kind of is both scary,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: but then you look at deeper, that just makes no sense.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Assuming that you probably need to have a winning record
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: to get into the postseason most years, Seattle, again, would
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: have to go 18-10 the rest of the way to
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: get to that point. But that may not be the case.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: You might be able to get in at 81-81 or 80-82.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Which is crazy to think. Now, I don't think that's
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: going to happen in the wildcard. I think the wildcard winner,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, right now the wildcard leader is Cleveland. They're
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: two games above 500. Yeah, and they've won seven straight.
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can get in the wildcard
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: at 82 and 80, maybe even 83 and 79. I
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: think that's the crazy thing about the American League West.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: You might be able to get in there at 80
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and 82.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Sneak in. I think it's safe to say they're not
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: going to finish at 54%.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that. How big is
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: this weekend in your mind?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: It's pretty big, I think. If nothing else, for the
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: rivalry aspect of it, right?
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, how nice would that be to sweep them
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: and knock their ass out?
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Exactly. And they would be six and a half. It
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't make up for the Springer home run.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: No.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: But if you could just put them to rest, that
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: would be kind of cool.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And, you know, that... Again, I'm more just... I've
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: said this all along. Like, everyone's focusing on, okay, well,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: you play a lot of hard teams in August and
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: then easy teams in September.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: For the Mariners, it doesn't matter.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Kansas City just boat raced Toronto last night.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: And especially for the Mariners. We just saw what they
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: did against Chicago and Philly, two of the best teams
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: in the National League. And then, you know, a couple
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: weeks earlier, they couldn't do anything against anyone, right? The
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Reds they lost to. Like, I just, for me, it's
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: very much, and maybe this is my soccer part of
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: me coming out. A lot of times with soccer coaches,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: what you would end up doing is being like, hey,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: don't focus on what we're playing on. Play our game
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: and we can win the game, right? And I feel
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: that way about the Mariners right now. Like, yeah, there
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: may be some matchup things where, oh, if we're going
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: against a lefty, it might be a little bit difficult
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: because we suck against left-handed pitching. But I believe the Mariners,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: no matter who they're playing against, it's all about how
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: you're playing. And it's just a focus thing about showing up.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: And if they play like they have the last couple series,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: for the most part, not Wednesday, right? That was a
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: punt game for stupid reasons. Yeah, we didn't even get
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: that with Chris. That was just ridiculous. But, like, Randy,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: great year. But he showed something on that Saturday game
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: against the Cubs that I haven't seen from him all
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: year long, where you're elite defensively, hitting home runs to
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: save the team, and just like, whoa, where's this been
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: all year?
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: His defense is interesting because it's not like he's unathletic.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: No.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: It's not like he can't run.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's a lack of focus. It's not even
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: a lack of.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Effort, either.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: No, and I'll go back. I think it's a lack
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: of focus. I think he gets kind of lazy out
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: in the field. Because he's not that way at the plate,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and he's definitely not that way in the base pass.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: No, he's not.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: He's locked in. He is not only locked in, he's
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: uber aggressive. Like, really aggressive.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Which I love.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Love that about Randy. So you wonder about the field,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: then you see a play like that. First of all,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: you can get to any ball. The infamous ball this
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: year where he just kind of gave up on foul territory. Dude,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: you can 100% get there. 100% of the time. And
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: you just chose not to. That's the odd thing with him. Like,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: he's kind of... we say this all the time, like
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: that's a very Mariner like thing, like, which goes back
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to one thing. These guys asked me today about, about,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the manager and the lineups and stuff like that. Guys, you're,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: you could do sports radio in seattle today because that's
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: been questions all year long all year long it's true
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: all right we'll take a break let's switch over to
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: football uh why are they even playing tonight in kansas
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: city well there's a couple reasons i guess mostly money
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: but uh also to see jaylen miller we'll talk about
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: that with greg bell next.
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: Now, from the Star Runnels Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJR

  Speaker 1: Mims begin a series against the Blue Jays today. Emerson
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Hancock will be on the mound for Seattle. The rest
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: of the starters, TBA this weekend. Mariners are three games
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: back in the Astros. The AL West lead four back
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: in the wildcard race. Toronto's three and a half back
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: in the wildcard race. A sweep by either team would
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: be both great for that team and devastating for the others.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: NFL.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Crazy story. Federal authorities have arrested and charged two men,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: one of whom repeatedly posed as a San Francisco 49ers
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: player for defrauding more than two dozen women out of
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: 1.3 million. Again, I'm going to ask the question, how
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: dumb are you?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Like, seriously.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo on Thursday has issued three new citations stemming
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: from his July arrest in Wisconsin.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Man, he is.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: You talk about punting an easy-ass... High-paying career down the pike.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: That guy has done exactly that right now. Raiders head
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: coach Clint Kubiak will not name a starter for the
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: third straight week.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: Come on, dude.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: We all know what it's going to be. They're cousins. Yep.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Packers running back Josh Jacobs charged Thursday with misdemeanor battery
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and misdemeanor criminal charge. Damaged property. Is he going to
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: get suspended? Is Puka going to get suspended? Those are
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: questions we ask in playing fantasy football. Questions we ask
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: about the preseason are coming up right now with Greg Bell.
• 41:15
  Speaker 10: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the Huskies, Kraken,
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: and the 12th man. Brought to you by Seattle's closest
• 41:23
  Speaker 10: Snoqualmie Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you didn't hear him today.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: He was, uh.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: He was on the flight on the flight on the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: way down to Kansas City, but he's here with us
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: right now. Greg Bell, normally 10 to 12. Of course,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Tacoma News Tribune. They're covering the Seahawks and Kansas City
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Chiefs for the News Tribune. Joins us right now to
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: be compelling outline. How are you, sir?
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I'm well, sir. How are you?
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: How's how's Casey? Nice, hot, humid. How are we doing there?
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not as hot as Nashville was last weekend. But yeah, 90, 91.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Standard fare.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: All right. All right. Good.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: You get some barbecue in. Are you barbecue guy?
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: I am. My vegetarian wife's not with me.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, there you go.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Q39, buddy. Trust me.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Q39.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Q39.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: That's the spot.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Q39.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: I hope it's open late after the game.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, you're going to Gates. Okay. Which is fine, too. Like,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I would take a Gates here to Seattle and be thrilled.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Even though they yell at you when you go to order. Okay,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: let's get to it. Jalen Milrow playing is really the
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: biggest thing tonight. Milrow and then everything else is just
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: kind of whatever fodder for the end of a roster.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: And I think Trevon Diggs getting his Seattle debut tonight
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: is the biggest thing Mike McDonald wants to see. Yes,
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see Milrow smoother, more poised, make better decisions,
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: especially on fourth down, not hold the ball for sacks.
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: First two preseason games. But Trevon Diggs has a chance
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: to win a job. The third cornerback job, as you know, Ian,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: listeners probably know, the third cornerback job is a starter
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: on Mike McDonald's defense.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: He's trying to find someone they can trust in that
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: spot so he can play nickel and dime with him
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: and worry up as a linebacker and move Witherspoon into
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: inside slot corner as a nickelback. And they haven't found
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: it yet. The whole reason they went on this Terry
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: on Arnold goose chase is And the whole reason they
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: brought in Trevon Diggs, who hasn't played a full season
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: since 2022 with the Cowboys, is because they don't trust
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Nehemiah Pritchett, Noli, and Agony. And tonight's the first chance
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: that Diggs is going to be in a uniform for
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks, first chance he's played since January with the Packers.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: So can he win the job with just a week
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: of four practices and one preseason game? And I think
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: the answer is yes, or else he wouldn't be here.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: So how he performs tonight, how much will he play?
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: Cause he won't be playing with starters that he would
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: play with September 9th against new England, but I'll be
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: watching 16 digs. That's the most of all the guys
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: are going to be in the field tonight. That's the
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: one that has a chance to start and have an
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: impact of week one.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I want to sidestep just for a second, because I
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: saw people were upset last week when he was given
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: the number 16. And, and I just, I, I, I guys,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the only number of the Superbowl teams that, players that
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: hasn't been worn since he's left is 54.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: And, and Tyler, by the way, was on the Superbowl team.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Like they don't retire jerseys. Like it doesn't happen. So
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: like that one, can we just take a rest with
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: that for a second?
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Is that okay?
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Can we do that?
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: Greg? And 54 is an instant hall of famer. The
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: five years after he retired. So that's Steve large and
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: ask type of deal. Yeah. I hear you.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I was, I was standing there with Cliff and, and
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: KJ the days when they've, they were both done. and
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: immediately their numbers are being used.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: And they're like, what the hell's going on?
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: Well, eventually they run out of numbers when you have
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: a lot of good players.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I unfortunately found that out doing the game a couple
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: weeks ago when they had 235s, and our spotter didn't
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: catch that. Anyway, how many roster spots are up for grabs.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: Do you think? Maybe a half dozen. How many running
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: backs are they going to take beyond Helani and Price?
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Price isn't playing again tonight, of course. That's a question.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: I was right on the plane over here this morning.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: I was writing my roster projection story, and I started
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: looking at stuff like, are they going to keep four
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: running backs? Are they going to keep five? Brady Russell
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: is the only true fullback. Are they going to take
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: nine linebackers? Are they going to take eight? How many
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: wide receivers do you take now that Jake Bobo's on
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: injured reserve? Do you keep Emmanuel Henderson, who may be
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: able to clear waivers as a fifth-round draft pick? You've
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: drafted him for special teams. He's been brilliant in special
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: teams with Gunner in preseason games. Or do you keep
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: him on the roster and fear not losing him to
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: waivers before you get him on the practice squad? Connor
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: O'Toole at linebacker has been really good. He's on film
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: last week and on two sacks and a fourth down stop.
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: If they waive him to try to get him on
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: the practice squad, somebody may claim him. That's how he
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: and Jared Ivey were on the roster all year last year.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: It's those players that are going to be playing tonight.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: They're going to make decisions on the back of the roster.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: So it's, I'd say four or five guys that, There's
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: some thought, because of Jalen Milrow's progress or lack thereof,
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: and that they're not having– I've seen no evidence of
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Brian Fleury giving him a special run package like Clint
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Kubiak did earlier that season. I've not seen him do
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: that one time in May practices, June practices, or training camp.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: So with that being said, do they whisk him to
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: waivers and get him on the practice squad, or do
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: they use up another spot on the 53 to keep
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: him as a third quarterback who will never play and
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: not be active? I think they will, but he's got
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: three years left. It's not like they're going to give
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: up on him, but I don't think they would risk
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: a third round quarterback.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I think there's a couple of reasons. One, because
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: what you just said, he's got three years left on
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: his deal. He's a third round pick, three years left.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: They didn't draft him to play right away. They knew that,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: especially with Sam. And then that's why Drew Locke is here.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: And I think number two, and you got, you have,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: you have time on your side to develop them. You know, he's, he's, he's,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: he's Michael Arroyo, right? Like you don't have to put
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: them in right now. There's, There's no reason for that.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I think the other thing is, as we have seen
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: all too often in the National Football League, listen, he
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: has struggled. There's no doubt about that. But if, God forbid,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold goes down or Drew Locke goes down, right,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: or both go, like whatever, we all know what's going
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: to be on the waiver wire as far as quarterbacks.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: It ain't going to be good, right? And you might
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: as well have a guy that's been in your system.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I think that would be far-fetched. I want to receiver-wise,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: so let's just go through receivers for a second because
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: you mentioned one of them. So Cup, JSN, Rashid Shahid.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: What the hell's going on with Torrey Hunter, Torrey Horton?
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: But we'll assume he's at No. 4. Cody White, No. 5.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Is that a lock?
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: I have White and Foster both making the team as
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: five and six. I don't think White's a lock. They
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: usually keep six. They've some years kept five. It usually
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: comes down to special teams, which White has been a
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: real part of. Foster has been a part of special
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: teams all through training camp and the preseason games. I
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: think that's where it comes down to. And that's why
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: I think Henderson goes on to waivers and onto the
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: practice squad. The fifth round pick, Emmanuel Henderson. I don't
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: see Ricky White, the third, being on the 53. They'll
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: try to put him on the practice squad. Everyone says, well,
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: you're afraid of losing guys to waivers. There aren't that
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: many guys who get claimed off of waivers anymore. I
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: think last year it was 26 out of the whole league.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: So that's fewer than one a team.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: But I can tell you this. I will be very
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: surprised if there's not a veteran waiver claim at running
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: back that Seahawks had Sunday night, Monday morning, they have
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: a running back on the 53 who's not currently even
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: on the team. I just... When you look at the
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: roster beyond Price and Helani, and Price hasn't played a snap,
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: I was surprised, but I remember Notre Dame didn't want
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: to play a bowl game last year because they were
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: all bent out of shape and not making the college
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: football playoff. So Judarian Price has not played a snap
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: in a game of any kind since November 29th at
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Stanford for Notre Dame, and he's going to play September 9th.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: That'll be his first snap. Then you look at Helani,
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: and there's nobody really, to write. Uh, that was Jones jr.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Was on the practice squad last year, Justin Jones and
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: undrafted rookie. And they'd already cut once and brought back.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: There's nobody else really of any experience behind those two.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: So they're going to, I'm pretty sure they're going to
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: have claim of running back, but your point about wide receiver,
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Cody white is always dependable in the short times, short
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: opportunities he's gotten.
• 49:37
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Really bad enough of a punt last week that was
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: really uncharacteristic. I see him catch those punts 50 times
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: a day in practice. It was really strange how he
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: turned his back to the punter and messed up that
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: punt return. But I think he makes it for the
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: legacy of what he's done the last two or three
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: years here.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Well, he's also, he can block.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: He's a big bat.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: He's a big guy and you lose Jake Bobo. And
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I think that has to come into play. I think
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: the other thing with that punt muff, we were watching that,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the two, Kiefer and I watching it. And like, I
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: think he, like, I don't think he does that in
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: the regular season. I also don't think it'd be doubtful
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: he'd be in that position in the regular season, but
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think he does that in the regular season.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I think he'd take a chance. What the hell? I'm
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: going to go over my shoulder, turn, spin, try to
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: make a big play. I don't think he'd do that then.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it was an egregious error. Real quick, just
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: as far as the running backs are concerned, Emmanuel Wilson
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: and Jakartier Wright, those two guys. Wilson, you have to play,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: and the contract is very Marquez-Valdez-Scantling-like. You can turf him
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: without any things. We saw Jakardia Wright finally healthy last
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: week with the breakaway after the great blocking in front.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: What's the status of those two dudes?
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: Every time I see 81 yards for Jakardia Wright and
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: I see the 69-yard touchdown, I think of Tremaine Pope.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: Remember Tremaine Pope? He was like the Heisman Trophy winner
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: of training camps and preseason games. And they cut him
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: every year. That's what he reminds me of. They really
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: like Emmanuel Wilson because he runs differently than anybody else
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: they have on the roster. He's a heavier plow type
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: of back. He wears Eddie Lacey's old number. He's not
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: nearly as wide as Lacey.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: No.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: But he runs like him. And they don't have anybody
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: else on the roster that's a short yardage type plow back.
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: And they think Emmanuel Wilson can be that. McDonald's talked
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: a couple times about how he loves Emmanuel Wilson's physicality.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: And he brings them something they don't have in price
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: and the line. The problem, of course, is he hasn't
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: been on the field in three weeks now. He pulled
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: his hamstring in a scrimmage. If that hamstring's not good enough,
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: I could see him starting on injured reserve designated to return.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: And that may be where he ends up. So Wright
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: could possibly make the team that way. I still got
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: him as having Price, Helani. If you count running backs,
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: if you count fullbacks as a running back, which I
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: do for the roster projection, Brady Russell is the third.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: And the fourth being a veteran waiver pickup that's not
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: even on the team right now. Wright, they'll try to
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: get on the practice squad. And because I just haven't
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: seen Emmanuel Wilson, even on the side, doing anything for
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: three weeks, I think maybe he starts on injured reserve
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: designated to return.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see who's dressed tonight, too. Sometimes that's telling
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: as well. And if he's not dressed, which I assume
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: he's not going to be, then that probably screams that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Although it's not like the old days. You do have
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: an extra, what, a week and a half before the
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: regular season starts.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: All the coverage of the News Tribune, also on the
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: old X thing with Greg Bell, G.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Bell, Seattle.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: He's down there following it in person for us in
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the News Tribune. And so we'll see you on Monday.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Safe travels. Q39 if they're open late, my friend.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: Q30, I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm lone wolfing it tonight.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: I think it's John Boyle, the team writer, and me. Yeah.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: The only media representative here.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Well, that tells you about the importance of this game.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Q39. If I don't... Yeah, Q39.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Listen, the one thing I retain.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: From 16 years of travel is the one place to
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: go in.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Every town, Q39.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: So.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: It's the low-stose version of barbecue in Kansas City. I'll
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: leave you at that, all right?
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: That's my praise. I got you.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: Have a good weekend.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Have a great weekend.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I'll see you then.
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: Bye-bye.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: You too.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Thanks, man.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: That's our guy, Greg Bell, joining us.

  Speaker 2: He joins us all the time here every Friday on
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: the radio show. We appreciate him doing so again today
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: from New York City, where apparently if you throw a
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: battery away in the garbage, it catches a garbage truck
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: on fire.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: It looks like college football right now.
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: Throw a battery in the garbage truck, garbage truck catches
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: on fire, poof.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: Real-life version of college football.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Unreal. I love the New York stories.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: They're always entertaining for me, living out here on.
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: The West Coast.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: There's a new one. This is on the cover.
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: I live on the Upper West Side, and there is
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: a local community paper. And the headline on the paper
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: today was, Mole Men Surface in Lower Manhattan. And there's
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: been a story about people seen popping up out of
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: a manhole cover.
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: I'll read you the first paragraph.
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: Mole people have emerged in Manhattan. For the second time
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: this summer, a mysterious group has been spotted leaving a
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: New York manhole in the middle of the night at
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: 419 a.m. on August 18th. A group dressed in black
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: overalls and headlamps was caught on camera coming out of
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: a manhole near Pennsylvania Station and Madison Square Garden. How
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: terrifying is that?
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Very, very terrifying. Like, mole man. That sounds like a
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Seinfeld episode. Like, honest to God, doesn't that sound like
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: a Seinfeld episode?
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: He's the mole man, Jerry.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: He's the mole man.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: Underground adventurers, treasure hunters.
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: Nobody really knows.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: I love it. That is good stuff.
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: This just came out a minute ago, and I've got a–
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: in terms of response, just came out a minute ago.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I've got to get your thoughts on this because Anders
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: was going to– we were going to talk about this
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: at 145, but I've got to bring this up. So
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Barstool Sports yesterday– uh, posted the, the quote from, uh,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Vinod Khosla and who's the new owner, one of the,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: of the family, I guess, but the, the, he's the
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: patriarch of the family of the seat of the Seattle Seahawks.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: And they had the news conference in Atlanta at the
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Marriott after they unanimously voted him in, they still have
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: to do the financing, but he's, he's there. There he is. Uh,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: And in this, he says he's been a Steelers fan
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: your whole life, and he still watches their games, right?
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: So Barstool Sports says what not to do during your
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: opening press conference with the new CX owner. He just
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: responded on Twitter. Now, first of all, let me just
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: take a step back. There's a lot of layers to this.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: This dude is very active on social media. Yes, he is.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: We are in a whole uncharted territory now in terms
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: of Seattle sports ownership. John Stanton, anybody with the last
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: name Allen, hell, Samantha Holloway, we don't hear from these
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: people ever.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Rarely, if ever.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: This guy responded to a fan the other day when
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the fan said, hey, you don't have to put an
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: apostrophe on it next to 12s. And he goes, oh,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: I appreciate knowing that. I'm learning every day. Very nice,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: very cordial. Fans were like, that's cool. He responded to me.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Here's his response to Barstool, Danny, and I'll get your thoughts.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going to read the whole thing. It's a paragraph,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: so bear with me. Reporters will make every molehill into
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: a mountain just to get column inches to write or
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: video minutes. What's wrong with admitting my 1976-78 period in
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh got me excited about the NFL? I still watch
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: their games. Doesn't mean I won't unconditionally always as an
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: owner want the Seattle Seahawks to win and have every
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: edge up every time. Over every other team, zero questions.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: At the other end is a set of teams I
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: always want to lose every advantage. But happy to have
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: the sports writer getting more calm inches and fill their pages.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: You are welcome. Apologies in advance for my very transparent style.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: I both love and hate this. I'm not sure which. Danny,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: So I agree with you because I love the response.
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: In and of itself.
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: I like the fact that he's willing to talk like
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: a normal human being. He is speaking like a rational
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: person with, let's be adults here. Because I liked that
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: team when I got here, doesn't have any bearing on
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: what I'm going to do as an owner. There's two
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: things that I would say I don't like about it.
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: One is I hate blanket descriptions of the media.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: Reporters will do anything for a story. Yes, that's true,
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: but that's such a broad net. And it's just, it's
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: a really, it's a really lazy way to classify people
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: because the person who wrote that is not the reporter
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: who he will deal with most of the time. Someone
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: like Bob Condotta, or Greg Bell. Like it's not, it's a,
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: it's a different breed of that. The second thing I
• 58:26
  Speaker 7: would say is this works really well right now. It's
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: not sustainable in the longterm. You can't as an owner, uh,
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: you can be transparent right now and you probably can't
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: up until your first real off season where things don't
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: go perfect for your team. And at that point, then
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: you're going to have to tuck your head in a
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: little bit because it's just not practical to communicate. Honestly,
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: As the owner of an NFL team. As any professional franchise.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that we have a guy that's
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: going to be out there. I love that. I'm with you.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: First of all, anybody who ever says anything involved with
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: barstool and reporter in the same sentence, it's erroneous. Danny,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: that's a broader discussion, though. In today's world, what is
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: actual media? What is not? I always kind of say, well,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of times it has to do with a background. You,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: for example, a longtime beat writer, a true journalist. even
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: though you're independent now, you're different than someone who never
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: worked in the business, never was trained in the business,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: never worked for somebody who had, whether it be a producer,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: an editor, a news director, what have you, and they
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: just start their own thing and away they go. I
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: think that's a little bit different. And then a place
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: like Barstool that, yes, there is someone to answer to,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: but really there isn't because of how they go about
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: their business. I mean, it's just, this is where I'm
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: going to give somebody credit here. If you're listening, I
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: expect acknowledgement of this. This is where once they actually
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: own the team, this is where the PR staff comes
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: into play. And I would think that if he's willing
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: to talk to a guy like Dave Pearson, I hope
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: it doesn't go so far where he never tweets again,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: but I think this is one of those things where
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Dave would say, uh, Listen, Barstool, we don't acknowledge them.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: We don't acknowledge that they exist. Ignore them, right? You
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: worry about what you just said. The Greg Bells, the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: Bob Condottas of the world, guys like that. That's Brady Henderson,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: the TV reporters that are there every day. That's who
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: you worry about, right? Danny, you don't worry about awful
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: announcing or Barstool or TM. Don't worry about that stuff.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say... You could just– this is not
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: serious work. Like this is just not serious. Whether it's
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 7: journalism or media, like this isn't a real serious thing
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 7: that we're talking about here. And the danger becomes– start
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 7: to blur it because there are people that do cover
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: it seriously and aren't joking about it and are trying
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 7: to take it seriously. and they don't deserve to be
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: painted with the same brushes as the jackasses. It's very
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: nice that you said that about me, too, Ian, but
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: I would like to say that I am more than
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 7: capable of being a jackass online as someone who was
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: earlier today mocking a reporter who covers the 49ers for
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: making fun of his tendency to be overly defensive. But
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 7: I would acknowledge that there are many times where I
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: am no longer a serious journalist.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Well– You at least understand that there are ramifications sometimes, right?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: I'm capable of the critical thinking necessary.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: And if I criticize Mr.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: Kozloff for his fandom of the... Pittsburgh Steelers, I would
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 7: be able to acknowledge it. Yeah, what I said wasn't
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: really serious because I had so little concern about the
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 7: history of his rooting. I think it's cool that he
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 7: was interested in the league when he got here.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's the thing. People here are stressed
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: out about it. It's like, oh, God, he's a 49er fan. Well,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: he owned 3% of the 49ers for a year, and
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: he was living in the Bay Area. Before that, he
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: was a Steelers fan. And I can use my, I mean,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: you grew up in California. You had fandom that wasn't Seattle-based.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: And I, growing up here, I always talked, my first
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: teams that I really liked back before we had teams,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: I was an Oakland A's fan because they were winning
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: and they were always on TV. And so I liked,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: you know, Sal Bando and Catfish Hunter and those guys.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean I'm not a Mariners fan, right? I was
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: a huge Canucks fan growing up. I work for the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Kraken now. Guess who I root for? It's not the Canucks.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to switch your lead. The people stressing
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: out over that stuff is cracking me up. I don't
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: know why it's a big deal. The guy had a
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: team growing when he first got to the States, and
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: I think what you said is true. Here's a dude
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: that immigrated here from another country, made himself a billionaire,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: and he had a team that he was rooting for
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: because he, wait for it, didn't have a geographical affiliation
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: before he came to this country, Daniel.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Why is that a bad thing?
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and the other part, and this is the reality
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: of how ownership is changing in contemporary sports, the volume
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 7: of money on a team. We're just going to see
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: less and less of this, of the local owner who
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: buys the team he cheered for growing up, simply because
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: of the sheer mass of money that's required to own
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: a team. And how you should measure an owner really
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: is by how does he fund things? the operations of
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: the team you're cheering for? How does he manage it?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: And how willing is he to listen and consider the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 7: importance of the fan experience? Because those are all way
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 7: more important than some lineage and sort of fulfilling the
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 7: childhood fantasy of he grew up watching games. Because I
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 7: will say that the guy who was most upfront about that,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 7: who used the term civic trust to describe his ownership,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: turned out to be... The worst owner we've ever had.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: Howard Schultz was worse than Ken Barrett. He actually sold us.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: Out.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Ken Barrett could have had that title if the league
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: would have allowed him to move.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: He tried.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: He tried.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: He took a swing and a miss. But he was, yeah,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: he's a close number two to Howie. That's for damn
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: sure along the way. Which, when we're talking about the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: worst owners in history, and we're not even mentioning a
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Mariner owner, that's saying something at that point, is it not?
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: My God.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Daniel joining us. Dang apostrophe right now. It's funny because
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: we're talking about this. For people who don't know, there's
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: a guy named Tony Farmer who sort of covers the 49ers,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: I guess. Kind of the same thing, right? And this
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: dude is the one that broke the story about.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills de-tackle, Ed Oliver's son who died, and everyone
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: else was kind of respecting the privacy of the family
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: and not reporting it, and he's torching, you know, the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Buffalo media for doing that, you know, and sitting back,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: and I mean, there's, I think we've all learned over
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: the years working in sports media that there's a time
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: and a place, we all know stuff, and sometimes it
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: benefits you to let it out, sometimes there's no benefit, right?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: And in this case, there was no benefit. They That's
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: where the whole blanket media thing comes into play because
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: now people are like, Josh Allen's coming out. I like
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: what Josh Allen did. He thanked the beat writers from Buffalo.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: He said, hey, I appreciate you guys. I know you
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: guys have been sitting on this and you all could
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: have done it. There's no benefit to that for any
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: of those guys. But this dude, he is just as greasy.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: As it gets.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I had followed that and I haven't really said
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: anything about it because I haven't wanted to bring additional
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 7: attention to him. But the point that you make and
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 7: I do think that the important reason to bring it
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 7: up is that there is a difference. Like this guy, he,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 7: he's not at any of the facilities. He, he covers
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: things off of the internet, which you can do these
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: days in large part, because like you can request public records.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 7: You don't need to be a reporter to do that.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 7: Anyone can do that. You, you have the freedom of
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: the press as people talk about is really a freedom
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: that every citizen has. So in this case with the
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: Buffalo player, uh, He pieced together, it was, there was
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 7: a news report about a drowning. There was footage from
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: a TV station. The family wasn't identified, but there was
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 7: a picture of a person that appeared to be Ed Oliver,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: the defensive tackle for the Bills, kind of with his
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: head in his hands, agonized. And then this guy, Tony Farmer,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: reported that The team is saying he's injured. He's not.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: There was a very serious situation and there's a police investigation.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: So the way it's framed is entirely this question of
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 7: police are looking into something that's involved. And it turns
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: out that it's Ed Oliver's two year old son who
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 7: has drowned. There's no reason to believe he was ever
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: there was ever any suspicion or anything that that was
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 7: directed at him.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: The entire thing.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: And I think what bothered me most is that it
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 7: puts the process backwards. As a journalist, you have to
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 7: find out things that are true. For example, so if
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 7: I was going to report on a death, and this
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: has happened a couple of times where I have reported
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 7: on someone who's died, you need someone who is either
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: with the family or with a law enforcement agency, essentially,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: to tell you that that person, I suppose a coroner
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: could do it. I've never spoken to a coroner. In
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 7: this case, there was.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: None of that.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: It was a news report and the address that belongs
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: to this Bills player. And it's all these half-baked things
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 7: that are then rammed together. And it turned out that
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 7: it was at Oliver's son. But it inverts it. You're
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: not You have to find out what actually happened instead
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: of saying, hey, it looks like this happened at his house.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 7: And maybe there's an investigation because it completely flips around
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 7: the obligation. And what this guy's doing, he did it
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: with the Diana Rossini investigation. He's done it with the
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: Kyle Sanahan thing. And what he essentially does is point
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: out these stories with incomplete facts and say, hey, reporters
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 7: need to be answering these questions. And my reaction to
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 7: that is, yeah, they're trying to and they're trying to
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: do it the right way. And you're sitting on your
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 7: butt on your couch, implying that there's some sort of
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 7: cover up in a way that is it's a it's
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 7: a perversion of journalism. I mean, I mean, he is
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 7: a journalistic pervert is what he is.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: Or just a flat out piece of crap.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: Scumbag.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Scumbag of a human being.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: Just a scumbag.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt.

• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays, Danny, I would just urge you not to watch.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: apple early because i think the there's going to be
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: an entire pregame and probably first three innings devoted to
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: george springer and edward bizardo so just uh before i'm
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: warning you about that right now.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 7: It's not the best setting to start this stretch run, right?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: There is a little bit of like, yeah, I'd prefer
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: it not be here.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: But maybe there will be an exorcism.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: Maybe that's what will happen.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: They're still in it, though, buddy. They're still in it, right?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: They're still in it.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, if you look at Fangraphs, I think Fangraphs
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 7: has a 42% chance.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: To make the playoffs.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: There's three out in the division. They've got a relatively
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: easy schedule.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: The wild card is a little tougher.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 7: Because of how many teams are between them and the spot,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 7: but they're only four games back at Cleveland in the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: wild card standing and don't look now, but it appears,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: do we think that Pete Crowe Armstrong is, is transferred
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 7: power to the dumper by tapping him on his ass?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: Like, is that what we believe is happening?
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: I think that is scientifically proven, yes.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the problem might have been, my only
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: concern with that would be, it might be like the
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: battery that caught the dump truck on fire that you
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: posted on Twitter. It might need a recharge because after
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: that it was an 0-4 strikeout game on Wednesday. So
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: I'm holding out hope that the dumper got a recharge
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: yesterday on the long trip to Toronto. Maybe he called
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: PCA and said, hey, come help me out. I need
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: a charge here real quick. Can you give me a
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: little tap again? My own teammate won't– I can't do
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: that with him, but I need one from you.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: I didn't even think of that.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 7: He won't shake Randy's hand, but he gets a little
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 7: pat from PCA and he's ready to start hitting bombs again.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I just like, my goodness, it's, it is, it's something else.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:10:55

• 1:11:36
  Speaker 10: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the Huskies, Kraken,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 10: and the 12th man. Brought to you by Seattle's closest
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 10: Snoqualmie Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 8: I also happened to come to this country in 76
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 8: when the Steelers were winning the Super Bowl. So actually
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 8: I was originally and still am a big Steelers fan. Also,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 8: a little known fact, but I still watch all the
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 8: Steelers games too.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Well, that's got some people up in arms. Barstool got
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: all sideways about it. Some fans are getting sideways about it.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: What about you?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: Are you sideways, Anders?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: I have a slightly different viewpoint as you and Danny do.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's great. But it's not a positive thing.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: I'll put it that way. I don't really hate it
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: as much as a lot of people do, obviously. But
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: even if that is the case, I wouldn't unprompted say
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: that in a press conference introducing you as the owner.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know how.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing with him. I don't know... I'm going
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: to look at it from this standpoint. I don't know
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: how many press conferences this guy's done.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: He's a businessman.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: In that type of setting, for the National Football League,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: with the commissioner standing next to you, you just had
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: a $ 9 billion purchase. And if we're being honest, you're
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: a fan of the league. You purchased a team that
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: was available that you didn't have any affiliation with. You
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: did have an affinity towards a team before because you
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: moved here. It's almost exactly what I talked about before
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: with me. It's like I grew up an A's fan.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't take long for me to become a Mariners.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: In 1977, that switched big, like quickly. Kraken got here.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: That switched quickly with the Canucks. So I don't think–
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: and I also think you're in a situation where normally
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: like you would have– this is where like good PR people,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: media relations people, Like we always joke about, you know,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Pearson with the Seahawks.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: Anything else?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 9: Anything else?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: But what he does, and Gary Wright was his mentor.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: Gary Wright was a longtime Seahawks PR guy. Holmgren talks
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: about him all the time. And what does Mike always say?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: After a game, Gary, pull him aside. A, calm down. B,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: but here's what's going to be asked.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: Here's what you need to be prepared for and prep
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: him for the interview.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Dave has done that for Holmgren for a while. and
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: then with Pete and then, and then with Mike. And
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: sometimes to the point of our chagrin, we're like, Hey, let's,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: let's get this thing going. Let's get him out here.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: But he would be talking to those guys. And in
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: that case, like he would be ready for those questions.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: And I think, I think if that would have been
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: the case, you would have had a guy around now,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: maybe he did and they just screwed up, but, but Hey, like,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: I know you're a Steelers fan. Don't bring it up.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: Just say you're an NFL fan. Like those are the
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: little things, but in the grand scheme of things, My
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: question to any Seahawks fan, you included, why does it matter?
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: As long as.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: Now, a year from now, if he's not spending money
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: and they're cutting back and they're doing all these things,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: you're like.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: Oh God, bad owner. I don't think that his fandom
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: is going to prohibit him from doing the job. But
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: at the same time, I'm always one who.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Whether it's players, coaches, owners, GMs, I like to root
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: for guys that I can relate to. And obviously, you're
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: not going to relate to a billionaire like that. But
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: the one thing you can is if he's a Seahawks fan.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. Mike McDonald was probably a Baltimore
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Ravens fan up until two years ago.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mike, what's your favorite team?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens? Yeah.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: Now it's not.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: Now it's not.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: And Brian Fleury was probably a pretty heavy and hard
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: 49er fan. He's your new Seahawks offensive coordinator. I think
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: it's good for Barstool, and it's another reason, let's just
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: bash Seattle and the Seahawks. I mean, they're the defending
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions, and they're like the 10th favorite team
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl again this year. It's an
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: easy thing to do. Let's find ways to crush this city.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: But Mike McDonald, at his introductory press conference, wouldn't say,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, but I still watch all the Ravens games.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge Ravens fan.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Well, he wouldn't say that because it makes no sense, right?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Because he's a coach. But if you're asking him who
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: his favorite team was, up until 20 minutes ago, it
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: would have been the Baltimore Ravens.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He said it unsolicited.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: I think what his point was, and I'm going to
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: defend the guy here, I think he's like, I'm an
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: NFL fan.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: Of course.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Which I love.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: I do love that.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: Because here's the other thing. This is the problem that
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: we ran into, that they ran into in Portland, is
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: that Jody Allen was not an NBA fan.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Her brother was.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: She wasn't. Couldn't care less about the league. And I
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: think that showed in how she managed and owned the
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Blazers compared to the Seahawks. She was, you know, I mean,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: everyone in the building tells me that Jody is truly
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: a 12. Like that's, she was a, from day one
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: was a big Seahawks fan. That was her like baby, right.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: And she's a big fan. She, she's not a Blazer fan.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: She's not an NBA fan. And, and so it was, that's,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: you can see how the two teams and the perception is.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: I think you can look at, you know, I don't
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: think Tom Dundon's a Blazer fan or an NBA fan.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: And he's treating it as such. I know that, I
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: can tell you this, Samantha Holloway's at every cracking game.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: She's a fan.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: She is, and to the point of, she's on people.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I see her yesterday.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: She's hands-on.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: That's good. Listen, John Stanton's a fan.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. He's at almost every Mariner game. Now,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: he's also a businessman, doesn't want to spend money.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: But he's a fan. But he's a fan. Yeah.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that this guy's an NFL fan.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: And he understands. And now he has a vested interest
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: in it. And there is no reason for us to think, well,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: I care more about the Steelers than the Seahawks. There's
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: just no reason to think that. We get a little
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: bit antsy here when we hear Steelers or 49ers. And
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. He hit the daily double. His son's
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: a 49ers fan. Well, they own part of the team.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: And he was a Steelers fan when he got to
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: this country. It's a daily double for us.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: It's the daily double.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: I think you could forgive the 49ers because our guys
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: have beat them in big games and gone to the
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And here's the thing. The 49ers haven't won
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl since before you were born.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: And now the Steelers have more recently. But I think...
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: I understand it's the... got a 49ers, but guys, we
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: have the 49ers old tight ends coaches, our offensive coordinator.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: This is, this is a very transient league, but there's
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: an easy.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: Way to spin. Like, Hey, I used to be a
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: fan of this team. And then I think he misspoke.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: And I just, I don't think it's, I think it's
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: an absolute nothing burger because I think again, it's not
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: like he's up. It's not McDonald in front of the
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: microphone every day. This guy, this guy is doing his thing.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: What do you got?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: What do we got?
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: What do we got?
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: What do we got? Bryce Miller is officially moved to
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: the bullpen. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: They must have listened to Chris Crawford. I think they did.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: I think they did.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: Well, that's, yeah, I see everyone's reporting that, so Dan
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: must have just spoken, right?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's just say real quick before we get to
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: a break, that's probably good news.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is, because that means Woo is probably healthy.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: Which is good. Right. And it's the role Bryce Miller
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: should be.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: In right now.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly, exactly, exactly. So I'm liking that a lot. All right.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: That is interesting. Interesting.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 5: Okay.

• 1:21:15
  Speaker 5: Ian, it's great to hear from you. As always, I'm
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: doing very well.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: It's that time. It's also preseason time. It's also brought
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: to you by our good friends at Farrelly's Pizza. Farrelly'sPizza.com.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: Find a location in the south sound near you. Great pizza,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: great happy hours early and late. We were there last
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Friday after the mayor IPA release in Maple Valley.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: Had a great meal.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: I like the appetizer meatballs almost as an entree with
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: a side salad. That's me, but Do what you do. Calzones,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: by the way, are sensational. If you're a Calzone person,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: go find yourself your way to Farrelly's. Rob, here in
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: a couple hours, Seahawks wrap up the preseason.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: They'll take on the Kansas City Chiefs. We're expecting a
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: young lineup for Seattle. And I say young.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: It's funny.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: They only have, depending on the day of the week
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: and who decides to go back to college in the
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: transfer portal, they've got about 13 or 14 rookies. Who,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: in your mind, rookie-wise... Jadarian Price isn't going to play.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark, unfortunately, is out for the year. Who are
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: the guys that you're really kind of watching tonight to
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: see if they can make a move, make some noise?
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 5: Well, I think one player who's already made some noise
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 5: is Michael Dancy. He's the cornerback. Seattle selected three.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 7: Of them, of course.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 5: He was the last one selected. He was the last
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 5: cornerback selected in the entire NFL draft. And yet, to me,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 5: with the possible exception of Jadarian Price... Uh, I think
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 5: that Michael Danzy might just be Seattle's best rookie throughout
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: the entire training camp and, and the preseason game so far.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 5: And I mean, he has just shown that the sticky
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 5: coverage skills that you want in a man to man corner,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 5: you knew that he had some of that based on
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 5: the college tape and what he showed in the mini
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 5: camps and all that, but you wanted to see if
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 5: he could continue getting stronger, a little bit more physical
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 5: and run support and on special teams. And he has
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: done that. So certainly with this can't-see cheating, we're not
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 5: expecting Patrick Mahomes to be out there swinging the football around,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 5: of course. But still, Andy Reid's offense, they're going to
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 5: throw the ball to the outside. They're going to put
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 5: their receivers in positions to make some plays. That's going
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 5: to put Michael Dansby, as well as Andre Fuller, the
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 5: other rookie corner from Toledo. I don't think he has
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 5: been quite as impressive. So to me, he, Fuller, needs
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 5: to make some plays. uh in this game to really
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 5: force Seattle's hand when it comes to the you know
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 5: the actual active roster 53 men but I think Seattle
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 5: is so flush with a young talent in that a
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 5: lot of players that are playing uh Friday night against
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs if they don't make the initial roster then
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 5: they're certainly going to be brought back on the practice
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: squad let's.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Talk about the interior defensive line we've seen a lot
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: from in hard knocks of uh Uso Ciamalo uh You've
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: got him, you've got Devin Eastern. Brandon Peeley's played really
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: well in camp.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: I think Peeley's a lock.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: Of the other two big fellas in the middle, who's
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: got a chance to be, if nothing else, a practice
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: squad guy?
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, for one, I mean, anytime we hear
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 5: the name Uso, I think we all have to start singing,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 5: you know, no woman, no cry.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: Exactly right.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 15: It's a great story, and he's a good run-stuffing nose guard,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 15: but I don't know that he provides you much else
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 15: other than that.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 5: And I always, as you said, I think that Brennan
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 5: Peely's got that job already locked up. I mean, Peely's
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: been impressive. Um, and, uh, and I don't know that
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 5: he necessarily even makes the 53 man roster. I think
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 5: that he's right on the edge too, but I think
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 5: nothing else that he would get that practice squad spot. Um, and, uh,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 5: so to me, uh, of the, of the interior defensive
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 5: linemen that are not the superstars. You know, of course,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 5: Leonard Williams signed a big deal yesterday. And, you know,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 5: Byron Murphy, we know all those guys. Roddy Mills, obviously,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 5: has a great deal outside. But it's Singleton.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 7: J.R.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 5: Singleton, to me, is the guy that you see some,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, he had 10 tackles in the preseason, second
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 5: game against the Tennessee Titans. And that led the Seahawks,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 5: that led the Titans. It was the most tackled by
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 5: anybody in all of the NFL as far as the
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 5: interior defensive linemen so far this preseason. I mean, it
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 5: was unbelievable effort. He is short and stubby, 6'1, 299 pounds,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 5: but he's kind of slippery. And he, again, has a
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 5: great deal of passion in his pursuit laterally and downfield.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 5: To me, I don't know that he actually makes the squad,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 5: but I think that he is a very strong practice
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 5: squad candidate. And the guy has got a little bit
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 5: different game than most of the defensive linemen on Seattle has.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Rob Ryan, brought to you by Farrelly's Pizza. Farrelly'sPizza.com. Look
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: for a location in the South Sound. All right, Rob.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: Week zero, college football. This is it.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: This is our first real visit of the year in
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: terms of talking college football. For those that are new,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: Rob with FoxSports.com, scout for the BC Lions. He has
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: been our NFL draft insider for almost two decades now
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: here on KJR. He joins me every Friday during the
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: college football season. We talk about the games coming up,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: how it relates to the draft, players to watch. especially,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: and Rob usually angles it towards maybe guys that would
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: help the Seahawks down the road as well. It's really
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: early in the year, but let's get to it because
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: we've got a fun matchup early on. Bill Belichick, North Carolina,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: got boat raced last year by TCU in the opening
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: game of the year. They meet again. This time it's
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: in Dublin, Ireland, 9 a.m. on ESPN tomorrow morning. Rob,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: what are we watching in this game?
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 5: It's interesting that you mentioned Bill Belichick for North Carolina,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 5: because of course that's what all the cameras are going
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 5: to be focusing in on. But I think that Seahawks
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 5: fans should be looking at number nine. He's an edge rusher.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 5: We know that the edge rusher position could be one
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 5: of concern for Seattle next year. aging veterans and DeMarcus Lawrence,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 5: Chen Uosu, et cetera, et cetera. Number nine, Melkar Abu Jaoudi.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 5: This is a Lebanese native who was a one-time walk-on
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 5: at Delaware, who transferred up to North Carolina. He's put
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: on 60 pounds of good muscle mass. And of course,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 5: Bill Belichick, for all of his concerns on and off
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 5: the field over his career, I mean, he certainly has
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 5: been somebody who can develop pass rushers. And so I
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 5: do think that that is somebody that Seahawks fans should
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 5: be looking at. I mean, he had 12 1⁄2 tackles
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: for the last 10 1⁄2 sacks a year ago. Ian,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 5: it just feels like the sky is the limit for
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 5: this young man.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on. We've got a lot going on.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: USC's playing at noon on NBC. They're taking on San
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: Jose State. They're a massive favorite. We don't expect maybe
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: that to be a very close game. But Lincoln Riley's
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: USC team, I'm going to assume we're going to talk
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: about the quarterback to start?
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, similar to what we just talked about with Bill
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 5: Belichick and how he was able to develop a young
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 5: pass rusher with North Carolina. With USC, you're thinking about
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 5: the head coach, Lincoln Riley, and his ability to develop quarterbacks.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 5: He's produced a couple of Heisman Trophy winners in Oklahoma.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 5: And Jaden Maiava, 6'4, 230-pound quarterback for USC, who already
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 5: flashed kind of early round. I'm not so sure I
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: want to say first-round caliber talent there. I think that
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 5: he is poised to take the next step. Now, the
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 5: big question, of course, is the fact that USC lost
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 5: a couple of fantastic wide receivers to the NFL. Makai Lemon,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 5: first-round pick, Jacoby Lane, two very good pass catchers that
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 5: made it a little bit easier on Maiava. I think that, uh,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 5: that is definitely the one to watch his quarterback. Uh, let's,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 5: let's focus on the offensive line for just a moment because, uh,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 5: we saw the way that, um, you know, some of
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 5: the interior office of line that became such a huge
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: story in this past draft. I think that you're going
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: to see the same thing here. as far as West
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 5: Coast players. Number 73, Alani Noah.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: It was an.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 5: Honorable mention all Big Ten last year, but he has
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 5: 12 starts at left guard. He's got 10 starts at
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 5: right guard. He's going to be back on the left
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: side this year. I think that he's going to push
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 5: to be one of the very first players interior offensive
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 5: lineman uh to be drafted this year and he is
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 5: a player that just doesn't get much attention because everybody's
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 5: going to be focusing on the quarterback uh.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: It is uh rob rang joining us here on the
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: beacon plumbing hotline receivers for usc2 right like they lost
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: a bunch of guys maiva how does what's he got
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: in terms of skill guys around him is that a
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: concern at usc.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 5: I think that is on paper, but it's not just
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 5: in reality. Just because of the pull factor that is
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 5: Lincoln Riley. They've got some good young talent that they
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 5: were developing and they brought in transfers. And that's one
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 5: of the things about USC. I never worry about running
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 5: backs and wide receivers. They come in droves to USC.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: We've got a crazy game later at 1230, a half
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: hour later. NC State Virginia originally was supposed to be
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: played in Brazil. They moved that game... Brazil said, no,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: we're not ready to do that, which is probably good
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: on a lot of levels. They moved it back to Charlottesville,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: so it's in Virginia. It's a Virginia home game. Originally
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: was not supposed to be an ACC conference game. Now
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: it's an ACC conference game. Virginia is one of the
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: older teams in all of NCAA football. So you've got
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: those guys that have taken on NC State, and a
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: lot of people like NC State. Who's Rob Rang watching
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: in this game?
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 5: It's funny because this game to me has two definite
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 5: players that you have to focus in on. You're going
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 5: to hear a lot about them throughout the television coverage.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 5: It is, as you mentioned, Ian, 12-3 ESPN. The first
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 5: are NC State. The quarterback, C.J. Bailey, this is a
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 5: two-year starter. He's got roughly a two-to-one touchdown-interception ratio. which is,
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 5: you know, it's solid. It's not spectacular, but what is
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: spectacular is the fact that he's six foot six, he's
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: 210 pounds. He's got an absolute cannon for an arm.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 5: You know, Hey, you seem to North Carolina state quarterbacks
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: have some success, obviously Russell Wilson, but also, you know,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: guys like Phillip rivers and, you know, and Jacoby percent,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 5: who's likely to be the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback this season. It's,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 5: I think that C.J. Bailey has as much talent as
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 5: any of those guys, and that's insane quite a lot.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 5: So I'm very intrigued by him at the quarterback position.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 5: Of course, he's going to get plenty of attention. For Virginia,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: it's similar. It's a quarterback on defense. They're inside linebacker,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: Cam Robinson, number five. He's a 6'2, 240-pounder. He's exactly
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 5: what you want him to look like. He's just highly physical.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 5: He's a legitimate Butkus Award and Defensive Player of the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 5: Year candidate kind of a guy. The only one, in fact,
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 5: as far as Defensive Player of the Year, he was
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 5: second in the ACC a year ago in that category,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 5: behind only Reuben Bain. So, again, this is one of
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 5: the big superstars defensively in all of college football, and
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: he'll be on center stage on tomorrow.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: We go back to C.J. Bailey for a second, quarterback
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: from NCC. Again, I'm just looking at it. 6'6, 213.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Is he one of those.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: Guys in the year of Arch Manning and others that
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: could rise as the year goes on?
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: That could be a guy that we're talking about more
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: and more as the year goes on?
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: I think so. And my other as well. I mean, again,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 5: in comparison, with us being out here on the West Coast,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 5: we've heard a lot about him. But there's so much
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 5: attention on Archman specifically. But on Dante Moore, there's a
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 5: handful of quarterbacks that are getting so much attention that
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: it leaves... such an opportunity for somebody else to come
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 5: in late to the party. And that's been the storyline
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 5: for the last several years. And we've had so many
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 5: guys that just kind of came out of nowhere. I mean,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 5: Fernando Mendoza a year ago, I mean, I put him
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: in my early mock. I was a year ahead, but
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: I certainly didn't have him number one. I had him
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 5: as a candidate that might be able to move up
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: into that first round conversation because you could see the
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 5: physical tools and you knew that they were building something
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 5: pretty special at Indiana. Nobody thought that he would actually
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 5: get to that point. But that's one of the most
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 5: remarkable storylines we've ever seen in college football. I think
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 5: the same thing could happen here. Not that I necessarily
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 5: think that Dave Doerr in North Carolina State is going
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 5: to win a national championship. This is his 14th season there.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, he has a well-established program, but I do
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 5: think that he has got a very talented quarterback here
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 5: that could take the league by storm, so to speak.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: Rob Rang joining us courtesy of Farrelly's Pizza. I'm going
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: to jump down to the two late games, New Mexico State,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: Florida State, and then Memphis UNLV to wrap things up
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: in a second. Let's start with New Mexico State, Florida State.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if New Mexico State has anybody you
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: want to touch on, but I'm assuming even with Mike
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: Norvell's recent struggles at Florida State, there might be some
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: dudes playing for the Seminoles we need to keep an
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: eye on.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 5: Well, and just out of respect for the New Mexico
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 5: State Aggies, I'm going to mention the running back, James Jones.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's a legitimate guy that I think the
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 5: NFL team should be keeping an eye on. And obviously,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 5: the level of competition is not going to be any
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 5: better than going up against Florida State there, especially on
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 5: the road in Tallahassee. But, you know, as you'd expect,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, the real talent is on the Florida State sideline.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: We talked a little bit about some of the other
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 5: players and other positions. Let's focus on cornerback. I think
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 5: Florida State has one of the better corners in all
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 5: the country, Jabril Rawls. You just see great natural agility
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 5: to him and just elite speed. I mean, he looks
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 5: like a kind of a guy who can be a
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 5: lockdown guy. I don't know, again, if he's necessarily a
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 5: first-round pick, but I think that he's definitely in that
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 5: mix to be an early-round selection. If you can follow
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 5: up last year's breakout campaign, I do think that he
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 5: has a chance to really be that type of a player.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 5: Deuce Robinson, a big wide receiver, speaking of big, Xavier Chaplin, 6'7,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: 340 pounds of him, I believe, is the left tackle there.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 5: They're both really big guys that have to prove that
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 5: they have the agility to be able to play at
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 5: the NFL level. They certainly look impressive, but Gabriel Rawls,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 5: for my money, is the best player at Florida State,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: and the one I'll definitely be keeping my eye on
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 5: in that game.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: Rob, UNLV Memphis wraps things up. It's an interesting game
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: for this reason. There's two group of five teams that
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: both Memphis maybe a little bit, not quite as much. UNLV,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they think they have some playoff aspirations.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: If you're those two teams and you get a loss
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: during the year, but you still want to finish in
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: that position to get a group of five playoff berth,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: and get that bid, you cannot afford to lose to
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: another group of five teams. So it's almost an elimination
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: game in week zero as far as the college football
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: playoff is concerned. I would say more pressure on the
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: home team at UNLV. Dan Mullins has got stuff going on.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: He's got an old team there. He's got like a
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: zillion transfers that have come in there.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: Who catches your eye for UNLV?
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 5: Well, as you said, Ian, I mean, beautifully set up, sir.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 5: UNLV has so much incoming talent as far as transfers.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, Dan Mullen, I mean, he was a very
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 5: successful coach in the SEC at Mississippi State in Florida,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 5: getting produced national championships, of course. But, you know, that
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 5: was the expectation, certainly, at Florida. So at UNLV, we
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 5: haven't seen that type of expectation for the running Rebels
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 5: since Jerry Cartini. So I just think that it's just
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 5: a different reality now at UNLV and for the Memphis
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 5: Tigers as well. Another team that's had a great deal
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: of success, and this is kind of an elimination match.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 5: For UNLV in particular, again, go with the low-hanging fruit
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 5: with the quarterback, Jackson Arnold. This is a guy who
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 5: has had a great deal of success, 22 to eight
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 5: touchdown to interception ratio over three years at Oklahoma and Auburn.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 5: And Dan Mullen was able to convince him to come
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 5: to UNLV. He also was a rushing threat, eight rushing
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 5: touchdowns at Auburn just last year. He was a five-star
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 5: recruit out of Texas as a prep. So this is
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 5: a big time talent. So I don't know that they're
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 5: going to be in the national championship conversation or the
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 5: playoff conversation, but yeah, You know, V does have legitimate talents.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: And so they're going to be certainly be interested in
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 5: it for Memphis. They've got an edge rusher, Jamon tap.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 5: He's a little undersized, six, three, 255 pounds. But Ian,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, if he doesn't make it as a player, they,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 5: I think that he could be like a, you know,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 5: a travel agent or something. I mean, he's bounced around
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 5: from Texas, Arizona state.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: Southern Miss.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 5: Now is it Memphis? You know, it's like he was
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 5: dominant in the Sun Belt a year ago, 70 tackles,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 5: 12 and a half for loss, seven and a half sacks.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, again, another defensive player of the year type
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 5: of player. It's going to be a much bigger stage,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 5: you know, with this national televised game, seven o'clock Saturday
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 5: night on Fox. I think that he is the Memphis
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: player that people should be looking to come a big
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 5: on that national stage.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: Well, Rob, next week we will have a whole bunch
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: of games to get to. Week one starts with my–
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the– well, actually, we won't talk about
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes play on Thursday. Do you want
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: to touch on the Hurricanes real quick before we let
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: you go?
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I mean, having looked at them that close.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: No worries.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: I put you on the spot. We won't even worry
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: about them.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to them after the fact.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: Because they had a million guys last year, but, yeah,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: they had the early game on Friday against Florida A & M,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: and then after that we got four games on Friday,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: and then a whole bunch– Then it's the main event
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, and that's where our guy Rob Rang makes
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: his hay, and we would love to do that. We'll
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: talk to you next Friday, Rob, and we'll get you
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: set to go. We'll get everybody set to go for
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: the weekend of college football in Week one. But, hey,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: we've got week zero, which I don't know why they
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: call it week zero. We've got some good games this weekend.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: I can't wait until 9 a.m. tomorrow morning to get
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: that first one going. Thank you, my friend.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 5: Thank you. Looking forward to it as always.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: That's Rob Rang.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: We'll take a break.

• 1:39:06
  Speaker 14: I'm not going to lie, the shrooms have slowed things
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 14: down a little bit. We left shortly after World Cup.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 14: I've been selling top speed.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 9: For weeks, and yet we have just passed Kent.

  Speaker 1: the best Furious Phelps ever.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: Serious Phelps this time.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: Serious Phelps. Save that for Softie.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: Continue.

  Speaker 3: General, little general. I don't know. You look at me, baby, and.

  Speaker 6: They call me the soft general. I haven't been this
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: soft in years.

  Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, guys, it's Friday.

• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: All right.

  Speaker 2: All right. What's going on, baby?
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: Sean Figgins here.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 5: Damn!
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 6: Keep hearing people complaining about Suarez not signing, but I
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 6: got a couple free agents here I think Seattle might welcome.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: Let's check free agent number one.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 5: Seattle, let's ride.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: Let's ride.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: Let's check free agent number two. Might be a good
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: one here.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: Have I got a pick for you.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: Damn, man.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: Couple free agents on the books.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: Holler at Sean, man.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, you guys are good today.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: I know. Good today. All right. Last one.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: Last one. What up, Ian?
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 12: I just got to Toronto. Getting ready to go to
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 12: the game tonight. Going to support the boys. Hopefully exact
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 12: some revenge on these guys as much as you can
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 12: in the regular season. We'll be holding it down. There'll
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 12: be a little Mariner fan contingent there tonight. Not as
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 12: many Mariner fans there as Blue Jay fans in Seattle,
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 12: but we'll do our part, so.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: Go M's. Go M's.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: That was good. That was good. Good talkbacks today. Just
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: exhausted by the Phelps one right now. Dude, it's like
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: even that one was going fast for Furious Phelps. Let's see.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: A lot of people having the Coleslaw stuff. A lot
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: of people. Oh, here we go. I like this one.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: I'm going to read this right off the get-go.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 14: 360.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: Taylor Ward has hit the ball hard. It's just been
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: at people. Just bad luck. Here's the thing with that.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: In today's world, I don't know if that's sarcastic or not.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: That's true. Because that's the... Oh, he's hitting the ball hard.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 5: Okay, great.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: Did it get past somebody?
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Did it fall?
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: Did it result in something good happening for said player?
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's see what else we got. 206,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: disappointed in today's show. I never got to bet my
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: sweet bippy and not sure to do with 10 pounds
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: of crap in a 5-pound bag. We didn't get any
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: of those from Chris today.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: No, that's Monday. He saves those from all day long. Okay,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: fair enough, fair enough. I understand what you're saying.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: I was disappointed too, 206. Don't worry.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: The previous guy said he doesn't believe in momentum for baseball.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: But you guys are just talking about Cleveland and then
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: being hot winning seven in a row. Which is it?
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: There's a difference between being hot and winning games. And
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: momentum gained by winning a couple of games.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of a difference.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 12: I also.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, you wouldn't mind me saying this. I disagree
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: with Chris. I think that momentum's real.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: Especially... You start getting on a heater.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: Especially this baseball team. Yeah.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: We haven't seen this team get hot all year, though.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 4: It's true.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: They haven't been able to capture it.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: They've won three of their last four series, so they're
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: kind of on that verge.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: They're still remarkably well under.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 6: 500.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: They....
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: They get a series win this weekend. Again, you're rooting
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: for a sweep for a lot of different reasons.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 5: Definitely.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: But one of the things is, is it just in
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: the wild card race? Eliminate one of the teams that
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: you're worried about.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: That's in front of you.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 6: True.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: 206. Hey, we have a deformed raccoon running around here
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: in the Seattle area.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 4: God.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: 206. 206. How many players actually play for the team
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: they grew up cheering for? People have more than one
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: team that they enjoy watching, or they aren't a football fan.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: Players are different. It's like, you're getting paid. That's your job.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let's just go back with the Coastal comment. It's
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: a guy that's just bought a team. You think he's
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: not going to care about the Seahawks? You think he's
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: not going to root for the Seahawks? Of course he
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: wants them to win. It makes him more money. And
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: he's an NFL fan.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: I'm... Happy.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care about what... Yes, it's the Steelers and
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: the 49ers. The Daily Double of doomsday here in Seattle.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm just glad that it's not.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that he's a... I should say, I'm glad
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: that he is an NFL fan.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: And not just a businessman.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: JSN has a Cowboys tattoo, somebody points out.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: I don't care. Yeah, I don't care.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, the only time I cared about that was
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: when Earl went and said, come get me to Jason Garrett.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: That was a little different.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: Come get me. I don't think that's because Earl was
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: a Cowboys fan, though. Because Earl just wanted to leave.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: Earl was just a little bit cuckoo at that point, yeah.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: Jamming the 2-5-3 along those same lines. Do you think
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: John Stanton's a good owner? Paul Allen, A +, Jerry Jones, F.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: That's talking about which ones are fans, right?
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, so I don't think I would give Jerry
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: Jones an F. He's a massive Cowboys fan. Yeah, but
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: I would not give him an F as an owner. Now,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: they haven't won the Super Bowl since he owned it.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: They won it when he bought it, right? But they're
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: in a long drought. I think Jerry Jones is almost,
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: he and Steve and his son are just too hands-on,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: and they're probably not as well-equipped as some people would be.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: In today's NFL. Now, they have a ton.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, just going through their media guide before
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: that preseason game, They got a zillion people on their
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: staff underneath him, like in terms of R & D guys, scouts,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: personnel guys. They're the faces, but there's other people along
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: the way. Stanton.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: Is Stanton a good owner or a bad owner? Well,
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: the problem is, is he's one of many owners.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: And it's, if you compare him to the rest of
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: the league.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: It's, it's still mediocre. He's, he's one of many. That's, that's, see,
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the hard part with Stanton is he's
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: one of many. Chris Larson, I think has more money
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: than him. We've never heard from Chris Larson. Now we
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: don't hear from Stanton during the season. That's where damn
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: sure when things aren't going well.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: But I, I don't know.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: I'd say he's an okay owner. I, What gives me
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: the okay is this. They're still here. It's a low bar.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a very low bar.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: But, I don't know.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: He's okay.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: Kind of, yeah.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We always wish he would do more, yes. But
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: it could be worse. Let's see.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: My dad growing up in the 70s before we had
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: teams was a big Reds fan, Packers fan, until we
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: found out the Mariners and Hawks. He still has a
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: fondness for his old teams. Yeah, that's where I would differ.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: I don't really have... Like, I don't really.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: I told you the A's and other teams, I don't
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: really have.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: A fondness for them anymore.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: Especially now.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: Barstool also takes the angle of taking any attention shots
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: at not only the current Super Bowl champion, but the
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: current subject of hard knocks. I'm not a big Barstool guy,
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: but I do know that bashing the Seahawks nationwide is
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: a fun thing right now.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: A lot of people like to do that. I don't
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: know why.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: Because they don't fit the narrative of being one of
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: the bigger brands in the league.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: He's won the Super Bowl.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: You know what the weird thing with the Rams is?
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody in L.A. cares about the Rams.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: Everyone outside of L.A. cares about the Rams.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: Everybody outside does.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody outside does. Let's see. Where is this one? I've
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: got a great idea for a KJR contest. The over
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: and under on how many times Rob Rang mentions height
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: and weight of a player. I always enjoy his segment.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: He's an absolute... He's a cyborg, man.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: He's a machine. Yeah, he is.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: He's just an absolute machine. I threw one curveball at
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: him today because it wasn't a game this week. But
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: outside of that, yeah, this guy's dialed in.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 5: 100%. Let's see.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, how about looking at it like this. If Coastal
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: came out and said he's been a Seahawks fan since
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: the large days, was so happy to see us win
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: our first Super Bowl, etc., fans would be fired up
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: and would be loving this guy rather than if he's
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: strictly business. So that difference between the two goes the
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: same way in a negative manner when he talked about
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: the Steelers. I totally get the fans' reaction. Yes, screw Barstool.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: We have a Barstool sports bar here in Scottsdale. We
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: call it D-Bag Central. Happy Friday.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 10: Cheers.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: Ryan and Scottsdale.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: That's like the bro barge.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: God, I couldn't even. That would put the bro barge
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: Bro barge or even bro center field.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: It's shame, probably, right? Bro bullpen.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: Just bro land out there in center field, right? Just absolutely... God,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: it's so true. And I mentioned this earlier, but 360
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: just said this. At least the new owners are football fans,
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: unlike trailblazer owners. Yeah, that's... Facts. It's not just a business.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: It's important. The fact that that is... Now, My only concern, honestly,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: with him, because he's a football fan. He's an NFL fan.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: So my concern would be this. Don't get involved with
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: the football. Business side does a great job, so I
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: don't think Chuck Arnold and company need too much help
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: on that side. But from a football standpoint, you're a
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: football fan. Don't get involved.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: Please. Stay away.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: And I think he kind of mentioned that at the
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: press conference. There's no reason to. There's just no reason.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: You're not like Ken Baring. That was the one thing
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: with Ken Baring that people, going way back in time,
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: they had a big story in The Athletic a couple
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: weeks ago about Mike Platt, who was supposed to be
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: the original GM under Ken Baring. One of the things
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: that Baring did, the team was doing well. Mike McCormick
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: was the GM, Chuck Knox was the head coach, and
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: he came in and it was, I'm gutting everything out.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: He brought Tom Flores in, who was just an awful
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: coach here and somehow found his way into the Hall
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: of Fame thanks to Al Davis and his Raider time,
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: but had no business being the head coach here. And
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: then the GM situation, when originally it was going to
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: be a former agent and Mike Blatt was just a disaster.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: And I mean, crazy story there. Mike McCormick, a well-respected
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famer in the football circle. So yeah, just
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: leave John alone. Leave John alone big time. Would you
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: rather have Stanton as the owner or someone new? But
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: as press conference says, his favorite team is the Blue Jays.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: So some guy comes in, he's worth $ 50 billion, and
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: the guy's like, I'm spending money, I'm doing this, and
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: all this. But by the way, I'm a Blue Jays fan.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: I was a Blue Jays fan growing up. I'm from Toronto.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: I own Molson, whatever it might be, and I'm going
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: to just make a zillion dollars.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: I almost think I'd rather have a stand at that point.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 4: Yes. Really?
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: Well, that's your hatred for the Blue Jays.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: That is my hatred for the Blue Jays.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: If you had a guy that came in... And you
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: knew his net worth was significant. And he was going
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: to pour it all on the team. And his thought
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, the guy comes up and says, hey,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: I hope there's never a salary cap in baseball because
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: I plan on spending like the Dodgers do.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm also a lifelong Blue Jays fan.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 10: Yes?
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: I probably would suck it up and just do it
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: to make my team good. Again, it depends on how
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: it's portrayed. If it's like, oh, yeah, I grew up
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: a Blue Jays fan, but now I'm all in on
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: the Mariners. They're my favorite team now.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: If you had a guy that was a Blue Jays
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: fan that wanted to win, that was going to spend
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: a zillion dollars, that Blue Jays thing would just still
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: hurt you.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: It would bother me, yeah. Wow.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 2: I know it doesn't matter. I know it doesn't make
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: a difference on how they own the team.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: I love your pettiness. I think it's fantastic. That's what
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: being a fan is all about.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 7: It's true.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love it.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: Go for it.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: Keep being that guy. Speaking about being that guy, Softie
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: joins us next.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 3: All righty then.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Dave Softie Mahler. I've got a you
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: can only have one for you today.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh. Here we go.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: You can only have one.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: All right. Hit me with it. Hit me with it.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: First one, Anders, fire away.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 6: Well, they're here, baby, checking in.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know, man.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 6: Yesterday, we're talking about little generals, big general, little general.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 6: You look at me, baby, and they call me the
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 6: soft general. I haven't been this soft in years.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, guys, it's Friday.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 4: The Mariners are playing.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 12: Come on, guys.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 6: Anyway, I'm going to go down to frickin' Motlake and
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 6: brave in the purple and gold to the school I
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 6: didn't attend, baby.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 5: Go Dawgs!
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: That's the first one. Here's the second one.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: The power of felts compels you!
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 9: The power of felts compels you! It is felts himself
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 9: who commands you!
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 14: The power of felts come sounders at 7.30!
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 13: See, I think the Phelps guy sounds more like Phelps
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 13: than the Sothie guy sounds like me.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: I would agree.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: And I think, and here's the other thing.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: That's what I think.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: I think that that was maybe the most epic, exhausting,
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: what was it, serious Phelps today?
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, serious Phelps. That was pretty good.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: I'm exhausted.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 3: See, I think we've got to get those two guys.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 3: Is that the same guy, by the way, doing both voices?
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: I think those are two different ones. I think they're
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 2: two different ones.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 3: Get him in studio. Get him in studio. Have him
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: come down.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 13: And we'll sit there, and me and Jackson, we'll talk
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 13: to those guys, and we'll have a little roundtable on
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 13: the air.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 2: And you have to figure out who's actually talking.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: You have to figure out who's talking.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 13: Is it me, or is it real Softie or fake Softie,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 13: or is it actual Phelps, or is it furious Phelps?
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: Switch one. You know what you could do?
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: We could do it during my show.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 13: We're not doing it during your show because you've already
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 13: mailed in your fantasy football.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: No, I was going to say what you could do
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: is you could just claim you lost fantasy football and
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: have those guys do the.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: Show for you. Right, exactly. That's what you could do.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: That's a hell of a price to pay. Man, you
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 3: lost a.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 13: You lost at Fantasy Football Championships, so let's take an
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 13: hour off of work.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 2: Listen, listen, stop.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 3: And I don't blame you at all, by the way.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 3: I blame your bozo friends.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: Listen, stop saying that out loud. We have our big
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: Board of Governors meeting this weekend. I want to make
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: sure that still continues just in case.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I mean, at least if that does continue
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 13: and those guys have to come in and do the
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 13: show again for you, I think you at least need
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 13: to buy them lunch or give them some neck massages
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 13: or whatever. Walk around the studio like the guy at
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 13: the airport, you know, a couple of minutes each, whatever.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 3: Rub out the kinks, you know.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 13: I mean, do something, for God's sakes, besides sitting on
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 13: your ass in the control room with Anders laughing your
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 13: Canadian guts out.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 2: No, I think I'll keep that. I like the policy.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: I like the former policy better.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 3: I'm going to talk to your buddies. I've got your buddies'
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 3: phone numbers. I know where they are.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: Call my buddy Mac Daddy from Boston.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 13: I'm going to give him a call and say, you
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 13: can't make this happen again. No, that was a good
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 13: effort by Furious Feltz. The softy one, you just got.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 3: To be better, man.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 3: You got to be better. You know what?
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: Crank it up.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: We have high standards for ourselves.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 3: As softy, impressionist, and as the real thing.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 13: It's like when you had all the walk-ins on SNL
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 13: when Christopher Walken walked in.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, yeah.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: Cock of the walk, baby. That was good.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: That was good.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 3: We need you to do a little better. That was
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: not your best.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: I thought for a second you were going to say
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: we had standards here.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: Overall? Well, sometimes, but only when it comes to impressions
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: of the hosts.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: Okay. The rest of the time, we have no standards whatsoever.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: We haven't had the Ian impression for a while, which
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: is fine with me.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: No, we need that.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 3: I tell you what, I think we should collect.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 13: talkbacks and get a whole lineup going of somebody who
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 13: does each person on this radio station the best.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: Like, who's the Chuck guy? Who's the Ashley guy? Who's
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 3: the Greg Bell?
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully the Ashley guy isn't a guy. That would
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: be my hope. Well, whoever.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe it is a guy. You never know.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 7: What the hell, right?
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 3: 2026, there's a lot going on these days.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: Equal opportunity. Yeah, let's go.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Jessamyn, is there a Jessamyn impression out there? I mean,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: come on, people. Get it together.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put you on the spot.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 3: How about a Travis Moger, the ogre impression?
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: I want to put you on the spot. Can you
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: do me a Jessamyn imitation?
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 13: I can't do Jessamyn. It's about as good as I
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 13: can get you. I can play a couple drops, by
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 13: the way, if I can bring my wall up here,
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 13: which I don't have up right now.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 4: It's up.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: It's up.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 3: I got to bring it up.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, see, it's your fault. That was your fault.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, hey.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, hey.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, hey.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 3: You should know, Anders, by now, where all the good
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 3: stuff is on that wall.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 2: I don't have it in front of me. All the
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: good stuff.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: I'm just.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 3: You stupid son of a bitch.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: No, that's not her. You'd play with it if you
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: had any.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 3: Look at an injury report, Jackson.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 2: You'd play with it if you had any.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: I think the best one is the Benton one, but
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: it was just Benton.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: Rookie turntables have rookied.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: It's all down here from here, kiddos.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 3: Time out. Give me those.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: Just an idiot.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: Give me the, not that just one, give me the
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: previous just one and Benton back to back.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: This one?
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: The population was decimated due to the over-excessive use of
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: DDT and.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 3: The pesticides that were going on the farms, and then.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 11: It got into the fish.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: And where's Benton?
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: It's all down here from here, kiddos.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 3: You like that one, don't you?
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 2: It's so good.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 3: How about when Art Thiel walked in the room?
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: Count this for the PI.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 3: Art!
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 6: God.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: Must be a Friday.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 9: I love the farts that come in.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: It's so fun. I'm just an idiot.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, God.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: What are you doing today? You're in Rainier Land, aren't you?
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 3: Group around with this wall. That's what I'm going to do.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you? All right.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: This is one of my favorite ones. The Gonzaga fan
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 3: base is arrogant. Oh, really? I'm one of the arrogant
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 3: Gonzaga fans. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 13: We are in Cheney Stadium, at Cheney Stadium. Dick is
