  Speaker 1: Welcome you into our final hour of the week and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: our final installment of our Seahawks one series. Something we
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: do every June every day of the week during June,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we bring on a different person to break down one
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: key Seahawk player for one entire interview, and today we
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: welcome to the show. For the first time in a while,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: certainly for the first time in the Seahawks one series,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: former Seahawks punter, the beloved John Ryan is with us
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: right here on Chuck and Buck in the morning.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: How are you, sir?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I'm doing great. How are you?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Are you still with the pickles? What's going
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: on with the pickles?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? Yeah, all in on the pickles. We're having a
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: pretty good season. Could be better, it could be worse,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: but we're chucking along all right.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: What else are you doing with your time these days?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Well? We also have two soccer teams in Portland now,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the Portland Cherry Bombs, the women's team in the Portland
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Bankers FC, the men's team. So busy with all that?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, you guys are just about sports and comedy. That's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: all you're about in that household, aren't you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: That's all we do, sport, comedy, and half the hour.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: That is fantastic.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate you joining us before we start diving
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: into some football talk. I was just sitting here thinking
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: about this during the break. See my father, excuse me.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: My grandfather's name was John, and yet he went by Jack,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Jack Fight, that great name, Jack Fight.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So he went by Jack. John F. Kennedy went by Jack.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Like if you voted, you voted for John F. Kennedy.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: But anybody know him? They called him Jack.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So a lot of people at that time that were
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: named John went by Jack as a nickname. So I'm wondering,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: did you ever go by Jack Ryan? And if so,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is that a governmental secret at this point?
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: You know what, I've never been called Jack Ryan. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: definitely have not. I like Jake Ryan from sixteen Candles.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I always thought that would have been a good name.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: But just John John j R. John. Oh, nothing as Jack.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Did you have Jake Ryan's game in high school? Did
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you have that kind of game back then?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: No? No, I didn't know, not at all.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: All.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, let's talk some football. It's uh and so
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: let's break it down. It's our Seahawks one series. We
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: break down one key player for one entire interview, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: unfortunately we've tight casted you. We want you to talk
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: about Michael Dixon, the punter, uh, and so I wanted
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I want to dive into it, but before we talk
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: about him individually. How cool was it for you as
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a former Seahawk to see the Seahawks not only win
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this past year, but four special teams
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to have played such a big role in them winning
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I mean, they got a lot of people,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: including myself that don't always give special teams their due,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and man, I was just raving about this group. The punter,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the kicker, the return game, the coverage game. I mean,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it really played a big role.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: John.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And then winning the Super Bowl this season.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, it just it was incredible to see them
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: win it. You know, first of all, you know, I've
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: been removed from the team for over eight years now
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: and I'm the both the biggest fan now, So I
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: just I love the Seahawks still. The Sylvian so much
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: to me, and you know, to be able to be
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: at that game and kind of see what an impact
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: as you said, I mean, Canine was the MVP of
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the game. But one one B in one seed where
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: justin Myers and Dixon. It was just incredible to see
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: the impact they had on that game. And I think
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: that people that you know, sometimes don't pay a lot
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: of attention to special teams, saw what a huge impact
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that they can have on a game. And you definitely
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: saw that on Super Bowl Sunday back in the February.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I raved about that Monday morning too. Dixon may
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: have had his best game as a punter in that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean, if you overlooked his contribution to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that actual Super Bowl victory, then you weren't watching the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: same thing I was watching. He was fantastic, was he not?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: He was great? And I mean to say that that
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: was his best game in saying a lot, because he's
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: had a lot of great games over the last eight
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: years of the Seahawks. And I think that some people
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that maybe don't know about know as much about football
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: as they think they know, and they say, why you're
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: paying a guy eight million dollars to punt the ball? Well,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that's that's why, Because I mean, that's a big reason
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: they're wearing that ginormous trophy on their finger right now.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: That goes to the ring. But a big part of
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it was because of him.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: On that day, John Ryan is whether Seahawks one series.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: We got John Ryan talking about Michael Dixon, and I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: would like to point out a little bit of the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: elephant in the room before we move on, because Michael
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Dixon did replace you as punter of the Seattle Seahawks,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and so probably at first, sure like I don't want
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to hear the name Michael Dixon right now, But now
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that you've been removed, as you said, for eight years,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: how much have you come to appreciate him as somebody
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that did the same craft that you performed so well
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in the Seahawks uniform.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Oh? I appreciated him day one that we were there together.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: He definitely saw the talent that he had. Just came
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: down to the fact that we were basically in different generations.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I think I was thirty five at the time. I
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: think he was twenty one. You know, I think it
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: was my time to move on and it's his time
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: to kind of fill in there. And he's just done
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a phenomenal job. So there's no there's no ill will
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: towards him whatsoever. He's a great guy and I've been
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: nothing but happy with his success.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: What is it about his game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That man, you wish and I wish I would have
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: had that in my repertoire of tricks.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Oh nothing on that that regard. You know, I think
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I had my different style than he had. That he's
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: absolutely phenomenal. I think he has such a quick leg
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: that he can make up for any type of small
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: mistake he might have with his drop. He can make
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: it up with leg speed. You know, when he first
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: got there, I thought the two weaknesses he had was
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: kind of kicking to his left and his holding, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: he basically improved those like hugely in the first couple
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: of years. And you know, really, when you look at
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: him right now, there's really no holes in his game.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's absolutely the best punter in the NFL
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: right now. He has more tricks out this league than
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: any other punter. And that's saying a lot because these
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: punters now, they don't have a you know, two or
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: three kicks like we used to have twenty years ago.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: They have seven or eight different kicks they can roll
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: out at any time and hit successfully. So you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: there's literally there's no holes in his game right now.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And I think the scariest thing about when it comes
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: to him is I believe he's only twenty nine years old.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You know, he's had he's had eight amazing years of
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks, all Pro years, Pro Bowl years, Super Bowl years,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: and he's just coming into his prime right now. So really,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: even though he's had those amazing eight years, the best
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: is yet to come. When it comes to Michael Dison.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: When when you see like the spin action that he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: kind of puts on the ball, I mean, you had
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the same you had some of that same skill set,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But did you did you wonder though, after you've watched
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: kind of the modern day punter like man, if I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: would have started kind of knowing that that was a skill, man,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I'd have had that down pat myself by the time
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that I got to the National Football Is that cross
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: your mind?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Not really, It's the evolution of the game. You know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: When I came in my first year twenty one years ago,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: every pun in the league just had the spiral. They
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: turned them all over. Every every punter had one punt.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Then I believe Darren Bennett came from Australia and he's
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: developed that end of end punt, and you know, three
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: or four years later, every punter had two punts, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: it's just the evolution of the game. You know, it'd
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: be like, you know, I don't know Gordy Howe after
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: why he didn't have a curve stick back in the fifties.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just one of those things where the
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: game evolves and you can't really you look. You look
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: at these guys now and you're in all of them,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: but just stuff like that just didn't even exist. We
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: didn't We didn't even know that those things were available
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to us, or things like that were even able to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: be done. So I don't look at it like that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I just look at it and you kind of in
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: awe of these guys right now.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: John Ryan is whether it's farmer Seahawks great punter here
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with the Seahawks of course, and championship punter, and we're
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: talking Michael Dixon in our Seahawks one series and kind
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of talking about make what makes him special? I'd like
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to use I mean, it's usually just one player, but
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I would like you to weigh in on Myers because
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he's another guy that has kind of consistently gotten overlooked
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: by for how consistently fantastic he has been as the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: kicker of this football team. So tell us what you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: see in Myers game that has allowed him to not
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: only be consistently good, but it seems like John that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: his leg strength gets stronger every single year.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I think the one thing with Justin Jason Myers that
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: he works his butt off. Mean, he absolutely works a
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: butt off all off season. He trains every day, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: you know, he's really overcome a lot of adversity. You know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: he came to us in twenty eighteen when I was
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: still there in the offseason, they cut him for batterjion
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Kowski brought him right back the next year, signed to
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: a big contract, and he's just proved himself year over
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: year and he's just had some huge years. He's both
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: as consist them as they get. And as you said,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: you know, I think he's entering his you know, mid
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: thirty somewhere around there right now. He just keeps on
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: getting stronger. I mean, it's impressive to watch and I
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: think that he is another one of those guys that
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: is one of the top kickers in the league and
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: will be able to be the Sea kicker hopefully for
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: another five or six years down the road.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: What explains the fact that it seems like there's no
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: limit to how far a kicker can kick a field goal. Now,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: what explains that big jump in distance that we're seeing
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I think kickers are getting bigger and stronger. I think
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: kickers are starting to kick at a younger age. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: think kickers are now have training from younger age. It's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: not like when I was growing up. You everyone was
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: self taught and you'd watch the guys on TV and
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: try to emulate them as well as especially if you
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: asks like the retired kickers now, the bitter old retired kickers.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: The balls now are so much better than they were
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: when we played. The kiers can break in their own
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: balls now, and I think he saw last year the
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: first year the tiers could breaking their own footballs, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: you just you saw an instant jump. I mean you could.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: You could literally take a brand new football and add
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: ten yards to it if you if a kicker upon
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: a broken in themselves. But with that being said, you
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: still have to keep that thing online. You know, it's
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: not easy. You know, the farther back you get, the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: harder it is just to keep that ball online. So
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not taking anything away from these guys as I said,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I just think they're getting bigger and stronger. But you
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: know that the bitter old kickers will tell you it's
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Do you have to have a great relationship with your
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: kicker and vice versa? Is that mandatory on a football team?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And did you always have a good winner? Did you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and Howshka like punch each other when we weren't looking?
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I'm not sure if you had to. No,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: we definitely did not. I don't know if you have to,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: but it'd be very, very awkward if you didn't, to
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: be honest, I mean one, just on the field, it
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: helps because you know your punter is your holder for
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: field goals, but as well, you're spending seven, eight, nine, ten,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: eleven twelve hours a day together every single day for
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: most of the years. So if you weren't a pretty
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: good friends, I think it would be a pretty awkward situation.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how much did you How many tackles did you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: get in your career in coverage?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Oh? I don't know. I have to look at the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: football database, but I think it's probably about four or five.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Four or five. Do you remember do you remember a
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: real good stick you put on anybody?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I remember having not a good stick. But I remember
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: just a shoe lace tackle on Patrick Peterson in the
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: week seventeen, back in whatever year it was, when he
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: was kind of going in to break the record for
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the most return touchdowns in a year, and I had
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a shoe string tackle that he still denies I made,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: but I have the fill to back it up.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You never had one of those Johnny Hecker moments where
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the two edge rushers were chasing you down the field,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: did you?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: No? No, I never got myself in that situation like
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Johnny did. But that was that was good. That was
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: good TV. And he's a good guy. So it was
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: a funny situation when he watched up back and talked
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to I saw talk to. I've talked to Cliff and
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Michael Bennett about that before. It's pretty funny.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they still uh they still. I don't like him,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I think to this day.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Oh no, I don't think so.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Do you still punt? Do you still get out there?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: No? No, I about a year and a half, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: two years ago. I mean, my last game was in
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. After the NFL, I went back and
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: played four more years in the Canadian Football League. So
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I played all the way until I was forty one,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: and I went back out a couple of years ago
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: do a promotional thing, and I could barely walk for
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: a month. My hip was with so much pain, so
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: all the wear and tears kind of caught up to me.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately, even though it's what I did from the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: time I was seven years old so I was forty one,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: almost every single day I just can't physically, I can't
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: do it anymore.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: How many miles do you think you've punted a football
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: collectively in your life.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: That's a good question. She would have wrapped its way
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: around the world a few times less for sure.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I remember I was in high school. Do you remember
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the name Craig Hentrick. Oh yeah, yeah, wellct Craig Hentrick
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was my rival in high school baseball rival in high school,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and yet we got along really well. But he was,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you know, all American kicker and punter. And I'm not
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: kidding you. In my small little home, down the lights
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: like three hours before the game started, when we faced
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Marquette and Craig Hentrick were down the street in my
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: country Cornfield High School. You could not see the end
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of the lights. It was like field of dreams. It
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: really was. It was like down people trying to get
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in so that they could watch him warm up with
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: his kicks and punts, because obviously no one in my
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: community had ever seen anybody that good. So don't let
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: anybody tell you, John Ryan, that kicking and punting for
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: distance is not sexy, because I watched it firsthand. Craig Hentrick,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he brought a crowd from all over the state of
• 13:43

  Speaker 1: at this point Sports Radio ninety three point three kha
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: R FM. So I am planning on and I don't
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: really get too over the top. I think I'm going
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to tonight.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: You're going to Friday like you're in the Ryan Colonna household,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: because I got a.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Couple of things going like number one unicorns out of town.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, have anybody to judge me?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Secondly, I've kind of pasted really well this week to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: have a big time tonight, and I have the place
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to myself, which I might just lock it down.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: So what should I do? Should I go wine? Should
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I go whiskey? Should I go Scott?
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: There really important questions you're.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Asking trying to figure out, because I've got like some
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: great cheese at the house, and I could go out
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to dinner and buy a bottle of wine and then
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: take it home with me and then just keep going. Yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: but I don't like that as much as whiskey.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I would just go whiskey.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Just go whiskey.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, why not go with.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Whiskey and cheese. You don't really hear that comment.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: I mean that's because nobody's brave enough to try it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: But if I go out to eat, I'm surrounded.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I want to go to this place and all they
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: serve is wine, and I will not mix.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: No, I cannot miss well.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: And you know you are a trendsetter. I've always said
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: that about you, have you? Yes, I always say that
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: about you.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: And so I think you should start the new whiskey
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: and cheese.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Trend the old whiskey cheese trend. Oh man. Remember the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: pioneers followed the whiskey and cheese trail.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: I mean I would go on I'd follow that trail.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Hats now known as Oregon.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: No Oxen died on that trail, I'll tell you that much.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Uh not on the whiskey cheese trail.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: There was no dysentery there, huh.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I also want to mention one other thing before we
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: get into our fantastic voyage here. Seahawks one series may
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: continue next week. I know I said John Ryan was
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the last that's the last official installment of our Seahawks
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: one series for twenty twenty six. But we didn't do
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Nick Emon Worri, and we didn't do Leonard Williams, and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: that just doesn't set well with me.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: I agree. So we might believe that nobody picked them.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: We might do a couple extra rounds for next week,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and then we might call upon a couple of our
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: go tos that you hear a lot here at the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: station to break it down for us.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: You know, people you trust.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: You can't go into the twenty twenty sixth season having
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: talked about all of the key players except two of
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: the biggest key players.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Oh Man and I think it'd be a crime. I
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: think Eman war is the most fascinating one in the
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: entire list.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: I wonder why people didn't pick him.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: So we'll probably do that next week in case you
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: were wondering, did they ever do even Warri? I thought
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: maybe they were saving him for last. No, we didn't
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: do them, but we're going to.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're going to force somebody to do it, all right.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: So last Friday, as part of my Friday soccering and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: baseballing and everything else, I there was breaking news last
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Friday and it was about Major League Baseball. That was
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the story where they came out and said that they
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: might take away high schoolers.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Being able to enter the draft.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And that one really struck me as, really, this is
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna go after.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know if.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: That process seems all that broken to me. And so
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I ended up having a conversation with Ryan Divish and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Adam Jude and they were like, Oh, that's such maloney,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Like that is just them bringing something to the table
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: they know we'll get shot down so that it will
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: bring other things they actually do want to get past.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: It's just a negotiating tactic.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know what, I'm a little angry
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: that I didn't see that as well, but you're you're
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: probably right about this. So I'm gonna go talk about
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it on the air one day and I'll give you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: your proper credit because that's probably what it is.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: We have this mission in mind, we know it's going
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to be difficult to get there, but if we really
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: set our sites way beyond, then they'll negotiate backward and
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to settle on something that we really want. Well,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I introduce you to the latest fantasy that they've floated
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: out there, because this is never ever.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Going to get passed. But that's what came out yesterday.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, they might as well present the unicorn and
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: faery law into Major League Baseball, Like if you find
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a fairy in the woodlands, they are eligible to play
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: middle infield for you. I mean, okay, yeah, I mean
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: they might as well introduce sort of suggestions like that
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: into the new collective bargaining agreement. But for Major League
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Baseball to say we want to max out free agents
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to five years if they change teams now, that has
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: zero chance to get passed through.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: There is no way they're going to need to be able.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Because is that's not even the player's fault. That's the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: owner's fault that you have ten year contracts with guys
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that you're still paying at forty three forty four years old,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: even though they haven't been good since thirty nine. That's
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: not the player's fault. That's an open market, and the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: owners had to have that guy, So they overspent years
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and salary and then they ended up with the person
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and then were shipwrecked for half of his contract because
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: it was a stupid contract to begin with.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Right, no agent or players gonna be like, no, I
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: better not sign that. It seems like it might not
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: be a great deal for you.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like you need to talk to your owners.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: You need to come up with a deal with your
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: owners about you know, maxing out five years or because
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the players should have that opportunity to get as long
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: a contract as they want.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: But again, it has to because it's so ludicrous.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: It has to fall into that category of they're just
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: gonna ask for the moon and the stars and then
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: settle for something on.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Earth, on planet Earth.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's no way that they believe that they're
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: going to get. Now, there's an element to it that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: sort of makes sense. I Mean, what they're trying to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: do is other teams other leagues like try to encourage
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: keeping your own and if we here's the trick, if
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: we do have a salary cap and now we don't
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: have the financial haves and have nots, it's another way
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to sort of promote loyalty within the sport, like the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: NBA has rules in place that encourage you to keep
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: your own to stay in your own uniforms, so they
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: can get that familiarity. The NFL has that with franchise
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: tags and things of that nature. Those are things that's
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the NFL saying that we want to make it difficult
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: for players that you've circled and identify as key to
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: your brand. We want to make it as difficult as
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: possible for them to leave because if we think our
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: fans appreciate their superstar players staying in their uniform, it's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: good for our fan base. So that's sort of the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: gesture here. And yet they have no chance of getting
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that one accomplished. Probably don't have to Adam and Ryan's credit,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: any chance to get the high schoolers can't enter the.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Draft thing accomplished.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But if they float out all of these crazy we
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: have no chance to get them. It will almost seem like,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: all right, you've negotiated us down. Oh man, oh you
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: won that one. You won that one, Max years O. Well,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: we've tried to drive a hard bargain, but you got us.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: You got us over a barrel on that one. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the same thing with the high school players. But so
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and we'll float you that one. We'll
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: give you that when you can keep that, but you
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: do have to take our salary cap.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's what they're doing.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's the strategy, and they're probably not done
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: floating out crazy ideas that they have no chance of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: getting passed. It's the negotiation part. It's like them and
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: we see through it. I don't know why people introduce
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: this stuff into negotiations, but that's them saying, we'll surrender
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: that thing, we'll give that up, but you got to
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: take this one. When they had no chance to get
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: those things passed through the Players' Association to begin with.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: It's like when you come home from college and your
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: parents go out of town and you have a party
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: and something gets broken and they come back and you're like, oh, mom, dad,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: while you were gone, I got married in I'm pregnant,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: and they're like what, okay, no, but I did have
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: a party in your vase got broken and they're like, oh,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: is that all?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you? Yeah. I spent nine minutes trying to set
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: that up and Ashley summed it up in fourteen seconds.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Noh, been there, that's it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Mom.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Hey, I know you came back. I just want you
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: to know that our youngest son died.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: Whoa, oh my god.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Now just kidding. I broke the vase.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: I broke the vase, but then you'd get in trouble,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: but I mean not as much trouble.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh, it's so relieved.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: It's just the vase. Yeah. Oh, I love you, honey.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: Mom.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: I maxed out all your credit cards and sold the house.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: What No, but I did back the car into the garage.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they're doing. It's just the old Brady bunch,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Marsha Brady ploy.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: There's nothing more to it. So I do hope that
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: we have a salary cap. And I've never hoped that
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: way in my entire baseball life, but in the last
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: two three years, I've come around on that. And it's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: not because I want to do the owners of favor.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I want to do baseball a favor. And I will
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: repeat this numerous times in the future, So get used
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to it. Maybe you're hearing it for the first time.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Baseball's got a perception problem right now. Nine out of
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: ten of its fans they're die hard or Novice believe
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that the sport is unfair and that their team doesn't
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: have a chance, even though that's not true. It's a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: little unfair, but every team's got a chance, but there's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a belief that we don't have a chance, that it's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: all set up for the Dodgers and the Yankees and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the big market clubs. No company wants to have their
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: customers nine out of ten of their customers feeling like
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: their product cannot be achieved at a satisfactory level because
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the rules are unfair. So I know it kind of reads.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: They always read like a cash grab, and this probably is.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not naive, but there is some legitimacy to what
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: they're trying to get passed with this salary cap. It
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: is in the better interest of the entire sport that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: it gets past because there are way too many fans
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: out there, too many customers of the sport that won't
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: watch the World Series because they felt their team never
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: had a chance to make.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: It to the World Series.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: And that national television audience leads to a bigger television deal,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and it grows the league, it grows the sport, it
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: grows the game, and they're not benefiting from that, like
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the National Football League is, and the National Football League
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: has a salary cap, and so football fans don't sit
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: around all day long complaining that their owners won't spend
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: enough money because they know they can't. So I actually
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: think it behooves the sport to have that. And if
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: we got to throw out some fantasies like you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: once a game, a unicorn can pinch run, you know,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: and then and then they're.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Like, well, we're not gonna agree there's no such thing
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: as unicorns. And they're like, okay, we'll take that off
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the board. Then, but you do our takeing the salary.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean great tactics. And then they can be like,
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: I don't think I like your tactics.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So I will live with all of the fantasy nonsense
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that they're floating out on a weekly basis right now,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: if it does somehow trick the players into signing a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: brand new collective bargaining agreement.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: That includes a salary cap.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: All right, coming down next, we'll close it out with
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Booze News on KJR. All right, final segment of the show.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Final segments of the week. Then we're gonna hand things
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: off to Greg Bell here for ten o'clock. They'll take
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it through the next couple of hours like only Greg
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Bell can. And this is something Greg Bell can do.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: He can't do a segment where he drinks and talks
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: sports at.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: The exact same time.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Only they really trained professionals can pull this off. So
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: it's time to close out our week. Ashley Ryan, tell
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: them how we do it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: I'm Ashley and this is the Booze News Glasses.
• 29:48

  Speaker 1: I hope Greg is watching because army guys don't know
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: how to drink.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: Hell and then do other stuff too. Yeah, yeah, all,
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: definitely not.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: The US is moving on to the round of thirty
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: two in the World Cup. And I don't know if
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: you remember, but a couple of weeks ago, gave some
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: pretty solid analysis that I stole from ESPN, and I
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: told you why the US would win the World Cup.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: And now I know we've got more to go. The
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: hardest part is still to come. Blah blah blah blah
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: blah blah blah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: The fact of the matter is none of the analysis
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: has changed. So we are still on track.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, look we're still alive.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: We're still alive.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: So we're still on track.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: We're still on track.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I know Jackson angry at our coach, very angry launch.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: So yeah, the US still on track. Mariners not so much.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: They're not even riding alongside the track, but they're going
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: in the direction of the track.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: They're just like five hundred yards to the west of
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: the track. They've got it in their sights. They know
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: where they meet, like they can.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: They've heard of the track.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: They've heard of the track.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: We hope they're aware of the track.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: They know what they have to do to get there.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: We think, yeah, they're planning to get on the track.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: They have plans to get to the track.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: They're eventually going to plan to get to the track.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: And that's the goal, right is to eventually have a
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: plan to get to the.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Track right and stay then stay.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: And then stay on the track. Don't veer off the track.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: So we're gonna dumb it down a little bit here. Seaball,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: hit ball, okay, sea ball, catch ball okay, make good throws.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: Look out in the bullpen, and remember there are guys
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: out there.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: There are gestures, by the way that go with this.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, only are YouTube viewing audiences appreciating the full scale scale.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: And when you see the guys in the bullpen, they're
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: good ones with arms.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Use them. Pick the good ones.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Pick the good ones, and they're good arms.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: I will say this though, if they can find a
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: win using the or the way, if they can find
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: a way to win using this current bullpen management system,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: those guys could pitch every damn game of the playoffs
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: because they're gonna only throw them like eighty seven pitches
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: all season.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, or.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Their arms will fall off one or the other.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: So I have a bit of a personal issue I
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: got to share with you today. I am a few
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: like five years ago, six years ago, I got an
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Apple Watch. Okay, got an Apple Watch, and I would
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: keep tracking my workouts and things like that and now
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: it's older, and you know, I have to charge it
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: in the middle of the day or it's dead by
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: the end of the day. I can't wear it to sleep,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: which is you know, sometimes it can help track your
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: sleep and things like that, and when I work out,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: it slides down my wrist, so it's really not doing
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: it for me. So I looked into these wellness rings
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: and I thought, I'm going to get this ring con ring,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to wear this because you only have
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: to charge it like once every twelve days, so you
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: can wear it twenty four hours a day. It tracks
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: your sleep because I'm real curious how much, you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: how good of a sleep I get.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: So I put it. I got it yesterday, put it on.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: I'm all set up, and I go and I get
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: in bed, and I'm ready, like this is going to
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: track some e F and good sleep tonight. I tossed
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: and turned for two and a half hours, hoping I
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: was in the right position, trying to get comfortable. Am
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I breathing correctly? Is it going to think I have
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: sleep apnea? What could go wrong with Yeah? Yeah, I
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: was terrified I was gonna wake up and find out
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: I have severe sleep apnea, didn't go to sleep, got
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: four hours and twenty eight minutes of sleep, and only
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: forty five minutes.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Of it was deep.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty much every night for me.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, you describe my nights?
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was like, well, usually I get like
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: six hours, eh, maybe five and a half, but last
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: night was probably one of the worst.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: And the forty five minutes of d sleep, I was like.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: The night you were going to test. Isn't that always
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: the case? Yeah?
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: So I got to get over this hump of like thinking.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: But the good news is I did not stop breathing
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: in my sleep, so we've got that going for us.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Oh congratulations. What is it? What do you mean a ring?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Is it like a brace now?
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: No, see, it's like a ring on my finger, actual ring, and.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: It's tracking of your oxygen levels your sleep if you
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: have sleep apnea. I did today because I forgot to
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: put my wedding ring back on. Normally it's on this end,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: but I was like, I can't not have something on
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: that hand. It feels too weird, So I just moved
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: it this morning. But here's the best news. Though, I
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: did get a badge already, I had it one day
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: and I earned a badge oh for optimal stress. So
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: clearly I'm very not stressed except when I'm trying to sleep.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, even though.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: In my life I feel like I'm always stressed out.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: It's like when I got my orange belt in karate,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not any good at this?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: How am I getting an award already?
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: I think maybe my heart rate is just so low
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: in life that when I am stres and a hire,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: this thing hasn't figured it out yet.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, all right, Well, I hope it unlocks all sorts
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: of information that won't.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Keep you up in there.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: I hope so too.
