• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I just happy to have
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: it back. Last night I got home from the cracking
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: game in time to get the second inning or so
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: on TV. And after that huge Kracking win, we'll do
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a daily power to Play one forty five. Today we
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: had we had like a I mentioned this the other day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We're major league market guys. And what I mean by
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that is we've got it all. We're gonna have the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: NBA back. We have the NFL, we have Major League Baseball,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: we have the NHL on various channels. Last night we
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: had the local hockey team, the local baseball team. Luckily
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't really kind of although you know, their pregame
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: stuff kind of cut into our award winning post game show.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: But that's okay. But and then we had March Madness on.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a crazy, fun night. If you're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a sports fan, it's all great. Andrews. Before I get
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to Gary, I want to ask you this, because I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: know they're talking about Mark and Mark express frustration trying
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to find the game last night and wasn't on the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: right tier for Infinity and what have you. There is
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a different world we're living in now for you. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: want to ask Jess because she wasn't home and she
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: does everything illegally.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I was there in person, so you can ask
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: me about that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm saying, I'm not asking about the television part, okay,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because you were there, and again, you do things illegally.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: So the it's a gray area.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We'll get into. We'll get into what some of you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: guys do someday.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Like if you walk into the store and grab a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: steak and walk out, is that stealing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Gray area?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: It's a gray area anyway anyway, But I do want
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to check out one of those boxes you have, so
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: let's get to that in a second. Let me get Andrews,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: was how you did it last year? You're you're the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: young guy, you're the streamer stream mad.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: How was it better than last year for me? A
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: because it's cheaper because last year they only had the
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: twenty dollars a month offer, so you couldn't pay you
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: about the whole year, and I did and that's six months,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: that's one hundred and twenty dollars versus this year they offered, hey,
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: one hundred bucks the whole season, so I did that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: It's also not on the Root Sports stream app so
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: which you know on some smart.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: TVs or some place that was a disaster. It was
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: a disaster.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: I mean you could tell it was just patched together,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: bare bones at the last second, trying to get a
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: streaming option for people that wanted to buy it. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: this year it's it's all under the MLB umbrella, like
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: it or not. It's it's more streamlined. It's you have
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: a bigger infrastructure able to handle it. I thought the
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: production was good. You had the hour long pregame with
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Brad Adam, so I.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Think that's just the one time only.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so most of the time there'll be
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: thirty minutes.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but thirty thirty for home. I don't think they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: doing much of a pregame for really.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it's real quick before we get to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: go ahead and give Gary call. I thought it was easy.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Here's a thing. People want everything for free. And I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was just joking with Jess like like literally, like it
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: would be nice if stuff was free, right, It'd be
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: greative stuff was free, And I think in some sports
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it needs to be. I think the NHL when the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Craken went free over the air, or if you have Prime.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's on Prime Video, which everyone has Prime. I just
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: ordered something on Prime, just went through that nightmare with
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: me a minute ago. I'll try and talk about something
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: else anyway. The I think the NHL, Major League Baseball MLS,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for example, and if we want to include the PWHL and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: WSL what have you. I think they need to do
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: as much as you can and make it easily accessible
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: as often as possible. There are revenue streams you gotta hit.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I get that, and that comes into play. But I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: think I think people will figure it out. I think
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: people have figured it out. I do have a bunch
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of people that were, you know, texting me going hey,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: how do I get this? What do you do? And
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I said, well, I mean I don't know what do
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you Well? I got, I got X Y or Z.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I said, well, then you got to subscribe, right if
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you have Inxfinity, it's part of the sports package, which
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: has always been just on a different channel. And now
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I've got that channel on a favorite deal and away
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we go. It's not that hard, but I get My
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: only frustration would be this. I don't like the fact
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that and I think a lot of people and maybe
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: just us old guys. I don't love the fact that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: National that Apple tonight, Peacock on Sunday. I can live
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with ESPN on Sunday Peacock. Different deal. I hate Peacock,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: but I think that's just the ENDFL has forced it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: down our throats. Big Ten has forced Peacock down our
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: throats and now major League Baseball. But that's a smart
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: move by Peacock because they're trying to grow a business,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: so it makes sense. I get what they're trying to do. Anyway,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So three networks this weekend. You know what it is.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It's the price of being good surprise, It's the price
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of being a good base It's it's the price of
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: being a good baseball team. And I'm an idiot. I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: don't care. I'll buy. I already have Apple, thank god.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So I got a new phone and it came with that,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and but Peacock, I got a check and see if
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I have it. If not, I'm gonna do it because
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I know the kid and I are gonna watch the games.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Not Chris Kid, my kid, because that's oh no, he's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: going to the game. Mhmm. I'll be a different challenge
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: because the wife will ask me if the baseball season's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: over yet, so I turned on the third game of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the year. No, I'll just have my daughter come over.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: She'll be fine. We'll do that, all right. Let's get
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to it. Mark's Badness, Gary Parrish want right.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: Now, It's time for our weekly look at college basketball
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: with be a sports Insider, Gary Parrish. Brought to you
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: by No Lie Brewing, the family owned, fully independent brewery,
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: born and raised in Spokane. From the brew house to
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: your house. Everyone's invited. Look for No Lie in your
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: local grocery stores. Now with Gary Parrish, here's the in forness.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Gary Parrish joins us. We last spoke a week and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a half ago on the eve of the start of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: March Badness and the NCAA tournament. And here we are.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: We have already half of our Elite eight field, the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: other half determined tonight. There have been one or two
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: things that have happened along the way, Gary Parrish, in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this terbtil last ten days or so. How are you,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: my friend? So there he is, Hi, Gary? How are you?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm doing okay? How are you I'm good? Are you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: tired yet? Are you worn out? Are you beat up?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: How you feeling?
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: I mean I'm all of those things, but I'm also
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: like sitting in a nice hotel I getting ready to
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: talk on TV, so I try not to complain. I
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: did have a bok mech book tragedy last night when
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: a diet diet coke exploded in my computer bag and
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: wiped out of MacBook Air. So I've spent time at
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: the Apple store today here near Central Park. Happened to
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: pass Paul Skeene's girlfriend, Libby Done on sixth Avenue, so
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: that was exciting. So yes, I'm tired and beating up
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: and out like fifteen hundred dollars on her computer, but
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: a relatively speaking, I'm doing all right.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I wonder how Libby's doing that. For Paul Skeen's appearance yesterday,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that wasn't good, right.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: I didn't ask. She looked like if I were guessing
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: she was on her way to a business meeting. She
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: was walking pretty briskly, so I just left her alone.
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: But I do hope her boyfriend finds a centerfielder who
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: can catch or at least battle the sun a little
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: better than what happened yesterday at City Field.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure why you have a short stop playing
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: center field, but that's the problem for them. That's not
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a U and me problem right now. And she probably
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: she was walking fast. She says, Oh god, there's gp.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I got to get the hell out of here right now.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I'm on my way. Oh god, I'm out here. All right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: We got a million things to get to let me.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Let me start with this. Florida getting knocked out in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the round of thirty two, big surprise. But what's the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: thing that's jumped out at you? What has been the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: overriding theme or maybe just the biggest surprise so far
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: for Gary Perry.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: I think the overriding theme is that for the second
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: straight year in this tournament, there were no traditional mid
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: majors that made it to the second weekend. Last season,
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: the lowest ranked, the lowest seeded team to make it
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: to the Sweet sixteen was John Caliperry's Arkansas Razorbacks. This season,
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: the lowest seeded team to make it to the Sweet
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: sixteen was the University of Texas. So after one year
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: of this, people were like, Hey, it's just one year,
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: but that's pretty clear that the gap between the haves
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: and have nots has divided so so much that it
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: is very difficult for that for the second straight year,
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: the lowest seeded team to make it to sleep sixteen
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: is an SEC team. And so when SEC's teams are
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: your Cinderellas, you've lost something in the bracket. And I
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: don't think it's hard to explain. After one year of this,
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: people are like, it's just one year of this, But
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: after two it just sort of illustrates that there's a
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: big divide between the has and has not and the
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: years of a Davidson or George Mason or Loyola Chicago
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: or VCU going on a run Butler out of the
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: Horizon League a school like that going on a run
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: deep into the bracket is I think incredibly unlikely now
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: relative to what it once was, given that the high
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: major programs aren't just taking the best high school players anymore,
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: which is what they've always done, They are now also
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: taking the best min major players every single year. So
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: I think we've talked about this before. The Steph Curry
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: story might be unique because of who his parents were
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: and everything else, but just focus on that basketball player,
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: not necessarily his family. If that basketball player went to
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: Davidson because he couldn't get high major offers in the
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: year twenty twenty six and then did what that basketball
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: player did in his first year at Davidson. The second year,
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: the year that Steph took it all the way to
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: the Elite eight, that would not happen.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: That player will transfer to Duke or North Carolina or
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: some other power school for like two point two million
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: dollars and he would help a power conference team go
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: to the Elite eight instead of.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: A mid major go to the Elite eight.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: So two years in a row.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: I don't think it's a coincidence. The Cinderella aspect of
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: the incident of a tournament, it's gone and perhaps forever.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Is we're still gonna What I'm gonna guess is Cinderella
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: being a team that goes fairly deep like Sweet sixteen,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Elite eight. We're still going to have the odd high
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: point game, right, We're still gonna have that every now
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and then. But it's the it's it's can that team
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: win more than one game? Is kind of what you're.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: Saying, Yeah, I think they can win one. You know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: it's a forty minute game where a lot of stuff
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: can happen. But at this point you're asking the high
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: points and the Siennas and the teams like that. To
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: beat two teams in a row that probably have rosters
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: that cost i mean twelve thirteen in some cases million
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: more dollars per year. There's a chance that the team
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: you're trying to beat in the round of thirty two
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: to go to the Sweet sixteen for the first time
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: in program history, that team from a power conference just
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: bought the two best players from your conference the previous year,
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: and so you're just up against it in a way
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: that they didn't used to be up against it. Like
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: mid major players used to kind of just stay where
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: they were at often because they didn't want to have
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: to sit out a year to transfer, and they couldn't
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: legally make two billion dollars transferring and playing immediately.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: But now you can.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: You can go very quickly from I'm just a mid
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: major player at a whatever school too.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I'm making way.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: More money right now than my parents ever made in
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: their lives. That's a real thing happening all over the
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: country at the high major level, and the managers are
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: paying the price.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Gary Parris joining's courtesy at No. Lie Bruint. Gary, Who's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a bigger disappointment Florida or Houston.
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: For me, it's Houston, and it's not because I necessarily
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: think Houston was the better team because Florida was the
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: one seed. Florida was the outright sec champ. Florida, you know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: is a team that was expected to maybe go to
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: the Final four, and so that's disappointing. Sure, But when
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: you're Houston and it opens up for you the way
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: that it did, to let it slip past you is
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: like probably never get that opportunity back again. In other words,
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: if you just look at the past two years at Houston,
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: this is the type of stuff that you know, Kelvin
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Sampson might just be able to wrap his arms around
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: his family and focus on all the good and never
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: let the little stuff in basketball bother him. But knowing him,
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: this is going to eat at him fast. I mean,
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: rewind rather to last April. He's got a team in
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: the National championship game with a double digit lead in
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: the second half. His team happens to be the best
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: defensive team in the country. If I just told you
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: any basketball game where the quote best defensive team in
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: the country has a quote double digit lead in the
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: second half, you assume they knocked that out but Houston
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: didn't knock it out. They lost. Florida wins the national title.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: So then you come back this year, you bring three
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: starters from that team. You add two five star prospects,
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: both of whom are going to be top twenty picks
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: the region based on just you know, coincidence, it happened
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: to be in Houston. So it's set up for you
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: to maybe be able to play Sweet six elite game.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: But one you're the two, so you still got an
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: obstacle in front of you. Then Iowa takes care of
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: the one seed that's Florida for you. So now you're
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: headed back home to Houston. You started from the team
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: that played in last year, who might be a top
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: five pick, and you don't have to go through Florida.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: You have to get through Illinois and as we know
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: now Iowa. You've got to get through that to go
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: back to the final four. And they just got they
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: couldn't score in the second half and it got from them.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: And I just think that's the type of thing where
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: if you're Kelvin Sampson, you look back and you've had
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: an incredible has two years. You let a national championship
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: game slip away, and you let a home court advantage
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: in a regional final where you were the highest seeded
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: team left, you let that slip away too. That's that's frough.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: We'll we'll talk to Gary next time and we'll have
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a final four. But before we get to that, we
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: do have a couple of games I want to hit
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: on tonight, Michigan Alabama. Is Alabama getting some help tonight?
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: It doesn't sound like it, Aiden Holloway, And I know
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: what you're referencing was granted a I don't know if
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: it's a waiver, but whatever you have to be granted.
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: I'm not up to date on my felony terminology. Whatever
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: you have to get to be able to leave the
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: state when you were facing felony charges for more than
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: two pounds of marijuana. Aiden Holloway did get that today, reportedly,
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: but Alabama has released a statement that suggests there's been
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: no change in his status, and he looks it is
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: out on the status report, So I think maybe one
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: thing might not be connected to there, But that doesn't
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: necessarily mean things couldn't change if Alabama were to win.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: But at this point, I'm assuming his college career at
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: least at Alabama. This season is probably done.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: We've got two ones tonight Duke and Saint John's Michigan Alabama.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: We also have two two's U cause A two taking
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: on number three Michigan State, Iowa States of two taking
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: on Tennessee. Where the upsets gonna happen tonight or are there?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Do you see all those higher seeds moving on as
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: are an upset to be had? Gary?
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: There will be an upset somewhere. That's just the nature
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: of the tournament. We had two upsets last night and
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: then two double digit Martin keep an eye on at
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: Duke Saint John's game. Like listen, Duke's favorite by six
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: and a half points. They're the one seed, number one
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: overall seed in this bracket. They had the bread or
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: roster when completely healthy. But Patrick Goungba this will just
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: be his third game back from injury, and Okleb Foster
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: has been upgraded to questionable and is expected to play.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: He was just you know, having foot surgery less than
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: three weeks ago. And this is a rushback, even by
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: their own acknowledgment. Now, want to be clear, I don't
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: mean they're rushing it back in any sort of dangerous way.
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: They had trainers, they have a medical staff. If they've
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: cleared him to play, they feel like it's like they
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: gets safe to do that. But it defies logic to
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: think he's going to be bouncing around the way he
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: would normally bounce around, moving the way he normally moves,
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: and playing as many minutes as he would normally play.
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: I don't think any of that would be true. I'll
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: be surprised if it is. So. Meantime, this is a
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: Saint John's team that absolutely got off to a tough
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: start this season. But they are twenty one and one
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: in their past twenty two games, with two wins over Yukon,
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: and so some of that record is because the Big
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: East presented no outside of Yukon, you know, for the
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: most part. But some of it is because they got awesome.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: They're really good now, twenty one to one, tough with
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: a Hall of Fame coach. I'm not necessarily like predicting it,
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: not encouraging anybody to bet it, but I could certainly
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: see where Rick Patino and Saint John's eliminates Duke from
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: this bracket and moves on to just one game away
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: from the final four.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Final thing not just based on what happened last night,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But overall, is Arizona been the most impressive team so far?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: I mean what they did last night was historically unprecedented
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: in a lot of ways. First, they had six different
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: players score fourteen points in an NCAA tournament game. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: would not have guessed this is true, but it is.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: That had never happened before. They shot sixty four percent
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: from the field in a sweet sixteen win. That had
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: not happened in more than twenty years. So it's interesting.
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: Tommy Lloyd, who you guys are familiar with, longtime assistant
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: two decades at Gonzaga, is not using a modernized style
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: of basketball. They took eight three pointers last night in
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: a forty minute game. You know, we watched Alabama last
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: week take forty two in a forty minute game. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: so early in the season, even if Arizona was undefeated,
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: people would look at that, and I mean even let
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: back people other coaches and say it's really good, really talented.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: But ultimately, you can't play that way. It's twenty twenty six.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: You got a math problem. Never forget about what percentage
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: you make. You've got to somewhere else. You just in
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: the right way. You're not keeping the floor spaced all
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: of that stuff. He said, Okay, well, that's well. He
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: has built a monster of an offense. They just absolutely
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: destroyed Arkansas last night. And the truth is, with few
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: exceptions here or there, they've done that to pretty much
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: everybody else sees. And I love this about college basketball,
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: the variety in styles. You can play fast, you can
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: play slow, you can shoot threes you cannot take them,
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: and there's a path to success. In the NBA, they
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: wouldn't even let you play this way. Like if your
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: front office got the idea that you were trying to play,
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: you know, through bigs and inside the arc and only
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: take eight bree a game, they would say, no, no, no, no, no.
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: We have a lot of data on this that suggests
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: we can't win like this, but in college it can
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: still work, and it is and if Arizona wins the
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: whole thing at this point, there should be nothing surprising
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: about it despite the unusual style of play.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: We will be watching tonight CBS Sports Network post game
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: with Gary Parrish I on college basketball as well the podcast.

• 19:38
  Speaker 1: all right, not great, crushing it. We are just crushing
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it today. Super okay. Well, let me know when Danny's
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: on the phone and we will touch base with him
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and get some He wrote an interesting story. I want
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to touch on him with the sonics we even get
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: into this, although I don't think it's an issue, but
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I guess some writer in Oklahoma City he made some
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: comments about, you know, Seattle's got to apologize we were
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: mean to Oklahoma City, or some nonsense about get so
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to get our quote history back, and that's not what
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the agreement says there, Fellas. So I don't know who
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you are, but and I ain't apologize. There is nobody
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: in Seattle that needs to apologize to Oklahoma City. Now listen,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it's very vague when we're talking about apologizing to a city.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: But we don't like you guys, and we don't like
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the Thunder and we never will. We don't like Howard Schultz.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: The other laughable thing, I just saw somebody's doing a
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: story on Howard Schultz leaving the state of Washington. He
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: could have left there a long time. He kind of
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: did leave a long time ago. He's just down making
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a public But that's neither here nor there. When the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: team is awarded to Seattle, whether it's in July or
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: before the end of the year, it's going to be
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: called the Sonics. We're going to have their history and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a way we go. Danny O'Neil joins us down on
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the Beacon Plumbing hotline. Hello, Danny, how are you well?
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: Let me help set the mood a little bit.
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: I'm sure right next to Carnegie Hall, uh huh, fifty
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: seventh Avenue and seventh and I'm in a tuxedo right now?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well wait, why why?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: What?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: What are we going here? My wife must have something
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: We've got a we've got a big fancy formal evening tonight,
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: dinner at the Russian Tea Room, then going to a
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: little bit of a murcit or Phantom of the Opera,
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: so very very fancy, as you can tell.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: And uh yeah yeah, so hopefully that brightens a little mood.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: And we've got a little black tie guest here.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I just I want to picture you in that black tie,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, sir, That's what I want
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to see. All right, let's get let's let's hammer some
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: stuff out. First of all, you wrote about this what
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the hell is Oklahoma? Who's this guy in Oklahoma se
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: says that we owe them on apology? Who is this dude?
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: Well, somebody who's really really soft. And what I do
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: like to say is that if if if I rooted
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: for a team and someone else was really angry about
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: the way that we had acquired that team and the
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: team I.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Rooted for one championship, yes.
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: I can absolutely guarantee that I would I would not
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: be asking for an apology.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I would be rubbing their noses in the.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: Fact that we had just won the title.
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: So I'm actually appreciative that Clemente or whatever his name
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: is is not a is not a better fan, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: he just wants us to apologize because we were so
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: mean to them.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: My god, yeah, no, wishing bad things upon them. I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: guess that's being mean. And they end up winning a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: title anyway. It took seventeen years, but they won it
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: despite that. You think about this out that team, what
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: a disaster it must be, because yeah, you won your
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: title last year, small market and all that, but you
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: had a team at one point that had James Harden,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, all in their prime
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and you didn't and you didn't win that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: Three future MVPs, and that translated to no titles.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Do you is that's hard to do?
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is.
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: It's a tremendous place to resources. Is the return if
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: and when the Sonics come back, Is it going to
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: dilute your hatred of Oklahoma City?
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Because I don't think it is for me. I actually
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: think it.
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: Might sharpen it because now I've got someone to root against,
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: like specifically to cause them. It's not just the general
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: mayhem that I want perpetrated upon them. I want very
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: pointedly Seattle also to beat him.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I think Danny that my easy answer is no, I'll
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: still hate him, uh sports hate him. Yeah, one hundred percent.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's good because it's it's an instant rival,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: at least for the fans here. It will be now
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: players and everything else that takes that takes, like stuff
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: like playoff series and things like that. Doc, there's an
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: emergency vehicles coming by, Danny, be careful, I would say,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: because you know, here's the thing. Our our rivals in
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Seattle for the Sonics for all those years at the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: top of the list, honestly were the Utah Jazz stalk
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to them alone. Yes, And and I don't include the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Lakers because of Lake. Everyone. You know, everyone's chanted beat La.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I mean when I was in Salt Lake they chanted that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: When I was in Portland they chatted that, and obviously
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: here too, So it's not the Lakers. It was the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: best rivalry I think the Sonics ever had. And if
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: we don't want to include the back to back years
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: against an Eastern Conference Washington Bullets team they played in
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the finals, it was Stockton Malone, Jerry Sloan and the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Jazz period and a story. And they're going to be
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: probably awful for a while. Our team will be probably
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: bad for a while too. So we need a natural
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: rival and let's go. Let's let's make it be that
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that Oklahoma City team.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: I think that that is that is true, And that's
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: actually one of the really cool things about the NBA
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: is that rivalries do change and evall maybe similar similar to.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: The NFL, but I would actually say.
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: In the NBA, you have it cycles through where for
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: a couple of years you might have a really intense
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: rivalry with the team and then it kind of transfers on.
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: But we've got a pretty built in natural and I
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: could I could see players getting into the fact that
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: the city they play in really hates Oklahoma City.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, them enjoying that, Oh yeah, for sure. And
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I mean look over the years, like what were the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: rivals for the Sonics. I mean, over the last twenty
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: years they were there. Portland was weird because it never
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: was to me the rivalry it should have been, you know,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: like it just never quite was. Now, there were times
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: when X and the late great Jerome Cursey felt like
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: they wanted to throw hands every time they played, right.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, there were those games, but it never really
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: reached the level it should have for a team three
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: hour south. We never had it with the Vancouver Grizzlies
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Denver maybe a little bit only because you know, for
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a while when they was Doug Mo and that group
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and they were putting up a thousand points, they were
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a good team. But obviously Matambo, but I think it
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: was kind of Phoenix really right with Charles and company.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: But I think Utah was the rival. But now I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: think it'll be Oklahoma City and we're not apologizing and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you can pounce hand.
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that was the funniest part. Like what who do
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: you think would offer the apology? Like if you were
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: going to apologize to him, Like when would the logistics
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: of that work, because we wouldn't make Nate McMillan do that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: It would be it would be Bob Ferguson. It would
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: be Bob Ferguson. He's he's because you just said the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: word that I think of when I think of he's soft,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and he's kind of a weasel, and he's a former
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: classmate of mine, and I think he's just all those things.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And then some So, yeah, it would be that little
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: little soft governor named Bob Ferguson, and he's like, I
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: want to reach out an olive branch to Oklahoma City
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and the great state of Oklahoma. MO blah blah blah. Yeah,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that'd be him. I don't know if the current mayor
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: knows what the NBA is, but so I would just say,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I would say it would be Bob, and we would
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: hate him even more for it than we do for
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the income tax, to be honest with you. So, yeah,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that's that's what it would be. That's what would be.
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, the idea that they can bargain with the history
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: or that that's even something they would want to keep.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I feel like that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: We was talking to somebody this week and they were
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: explaining to me that Tommy Tumberville has won a national
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: championship and I was like, what what are you talking about?
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: No, he didn't.
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: They're like, yeahtually, two thousand and four, they ended up
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: getting it because the USC vacated.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: I'm like, that's not a national championship.
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: I don't I don't care what the record, but like
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: we know what happened, and that's the way I feel
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: about the Sonics history, the whole, Like, are we going
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: to give us access to it?
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Access to what man we lived it?
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: Like, I'm not.
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: The idea that like what are you going to keep
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: the squatches pell hostage? Yeah, like, okay, go nuts, buddy.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: We know we could do They could have a press
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: conference and have Gary there and everyone gathers and Gary,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: we want you to apologize to Oklahoma City and just
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: let's just see how that goes. Let's just see how
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that goes.
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: That would be fair to have to say, I'd like
• 27:41
  Speaker 10: tell Gary beforehand, Gary, just say what you feel like,
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: don't don't hold back, just say just say what you
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: feel for once in your life, we're telling you to
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: grab a microphone and say exactly what's coming through your mind,
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: exactly the way.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It goes through your mind. And if we really want
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: to be entertained, we could say we could have Jim
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Moore there and he could be the guy that says, Gary,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: we want you to apologize to Oklama City.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: You have toothpaste.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Can we do that and make sure he's up up close?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: For Gary could take that swing you want to do
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: years ago and actually take the swing. Let's just do
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that then, we're all entertained, and we can move on.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And then we can hang twenty and forty up in
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the rafters at Climate Pledgerita and we move on with life.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: That's what we can do. I'll just do that real
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: fast for Let go listen. It's the Danie O'Neil Cup
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: next week. Your friends the Yankees are in town. Manners
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: have four with the Guardians before that. How we feel
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: about our baseball team? We bullish? Are we excited?
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm definitely excited.
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: You watched last night and we're all going to overreact
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: to the first game, but yeah, one hundred percent. See
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: seeing Brendan Donovan get out there and Kit Homer in
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: his first at bat. I do think the lineup is
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: going to have more contact this year, but a game
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: where you have four solo home runs like that's it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: It felt somewhat similar to last year. But no, I'm
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: very optim mystic and excited about the team that they
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: put out there and what we're going to see, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: I fully expect them to be a team that contends
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: and is in that conversation with the Yankees, I don't
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: think they need to prove themselves or anything. But look,
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: that's this is We've all seen seasons where things can
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: go a little sideways, So I think we're all going
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: to be holding our breath until we see them get
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: to be on a bit of a role. But I
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: feel good about the team they put out there.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they gave up a bunch of solo
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: home runs and then Ramirez hit a big hit, a
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: big double whatever. I mean, it just that stuff happens.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: But I thought that. I thought abs was interesting, cal
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: not using it when he probably should have. But it's
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: like it's going to be I think Ryan Roland Smithson
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast last night, it's true. It's like, well,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: there's like a live and learn, like we're not really
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: sure like how these things are going to work, because
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: that could have been a pivotal play if you would
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: have said, no, I want to check that because those
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: called strike was out of the zone and what was
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it the eighth inning, But no, listen, it's one of ones.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: They're not going to go one hundred and sixty two
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and oh now that's all we know. That's the only
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: thing we can glean from last night outside of that.

• 32:25
  Speaker 1: pre game, two thirty, drop of the puck. That's right,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: weird start time. I don't know quite what the NHL
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: is doing. They're having these East Coast games, a whole
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: bunch of them start at five. I'd say they're trying
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: to avoid March madness, but they're kind of going head
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: to head with it. Anyway, two o'clock tomorrow, ANYWAO two o'clock,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: two thirty pre game, So tune in at two pm
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: for Mike Benton and two thirty here at KJR. They
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: drop a pick. Big win last night, knocked off Tampa.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They're really good at hockey, and Seattle knocked them off
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: last night. Arguably the best team in the NHL would
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: be Tampa. The most talented, probably.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably my Cup contender favorite right now.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I would say so, better goaltending than But here's a
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: funny thing. The teams that we're talking about in terms
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of outside of the Western Conference, which is Colorado is
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: just an absolute wagon and Dallas isn't too far behind.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: In Minnesota, the top teams in the East, Tampa, Bay Carolina,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and Buffalo all with ninety six points. Well Tampa last night,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Buffalo tomorrow afternoon. Yay. Good news is Sabers play to night.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: They play in Detroit, so they got a back to back,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: so maybe that'll help see out a little bit. Huge
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: win last night though Brandon Montour two goals. Bobby McMahon
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: continues to score goals. That's a good thing. I don't know.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Sign him, Sign him right now. Don't even let it
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: hit the market. God, he just he plays a heavy game.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: He's perfect with Coppole Cocko up front. Too big forwards
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: that can score like that. I don't know. Sign him. Please,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I beg of you, Jason Vondrel, sign him. He was
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: great last night. Berkeley Catton had his first fight in
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the NHL about the NHL they're best.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Do it.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Stand up for my captain. He's gonna stand up for
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: his captain who took a cheap shot and everly got
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: hit from behind. Was a cheap shot, and Berkeley Catton
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: decided he's gonna go. He's gonna get some retribution again.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: The problem was he grabbed the wrong guy. But you
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: know what, doesn't matter. It was. It was all about
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the intent. It was all about the intent to do that.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: So anyway, big game tomorrow. There are three point time
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: of a playoff spot, but they do have a game
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: in hand on Nashville that holds down that final playoff spot.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: So winning percentage is big.
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Nashville lost last night, Thank you very much, New Jersey.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, let's do some watching. Two more games on
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: the road tonight or tomorrow against Buffalo, Tuesday against Edmonton

  Speaker 7: Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back in here on a Friday afternoon

  Speaker 1: sports radio Nightey three point three KJFM, and Yes, Robrang
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: is back for Elli's Pizza brings you Rob Rang for
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: atleastizza dot com. More on our good friends there in
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: a moment, But first and foremost, it has been a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: minute or two since we last checked in with our
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: friend Rob Rang. How are you, sir?
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: I'm doing very well.
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: How are you?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I'm good. This is we're kind of into it now
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: here we are. We are at the end of March,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: going into April. We are getting closer and closer draft time.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: For those that are maybe new to this thing, here's
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: what we do with Rob in the fall. We talk
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: college football and previews some of the big games. It
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: relates to the top draft prospects every Friday. Kind of
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: a fun thing we've done for a decade and a
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: half plus. Now is when we get into the nitty
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: gritty this. Now we start going through position groups and
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: our insider NFL draft inside of Rob Rang from Fox
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: sports dot Com. He starts giving us the lowdown on
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the guys to look for and how who would fit
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: with the Seahawks specifically. Kind of an odd year though
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: this year, Rob, because just the four draft picks and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: thirty two in the first round. Instead of going through
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: like a position group today, let's just kind of revisit
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: where we are kind of with the roster and what
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: they've done in the offseason and where they are and
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: what thirty two would look like and all that. There's
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: some I know, you dub had their pro day and
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: all those things. So let's get through it. Let me
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: first start with this free agency is kind of settled down.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: We saw the extension of JSN, for example, but the
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Seahawks lose Ken Walker, lose Boy Mafe, lose Kobe Bryant,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: but they do retain Rashid Shihed, which was big Josh
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Job has retained as well. Just kind of when you
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: overlook and see what this roster looks like following the
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: first wave or to a free agency, what are your impressions.
• 39:19
  Speaker 11: I think that's been a masterful job, honestly, And I
• 39:22
  Speaker 11: mean I think that you had to expect if they
• 39:24
  Speaker 11: were going to lose a bunch of players, because that's
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: just the Super Bowl tax. You know, everybody is going
• 39:30
  Speaker 11: to be looking to to pay some of your players
• 39:34
  Speaker 11: just to so they can promote these new free agent
• 39:37
  Speaker 11: additions to their respective fan bases and say, see, we
• 39:41
  Speaker 11: were all in on the Super Bowl push ourselves. We
• 39:44
  Speaker 11: just got the Super Bowl MVP and Ken Walker. We
• 39:46
  Speaker 11: just signed the most talented cornerback on their roster in
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: Tariquo and boy Mafe, Oh my goodness, look at what
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: explosive athlete he is. Let's get him twenty million dollars
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: per season. You know, all these things. I think that
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: Seattle retained the most important player of their free agents.
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: And uh in Rashid Shihat, I mean, anybody who you
• 40:07
  Speaker 11: know saw the games that he took over on special
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: teams and just recognizes how important special teams is to
• 40:14
  Speaker 11: this franchise. Then, uh that that to me was a massive,
• 40:18
  Speaker 11: massive deal by the Seahawks to bring him back. You mentioned,
• 40:22
  Speaker 11: of course, the the extension of Jackson Smith and Jigba
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: that just kind of paves the way for that. Earlier
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: in the year, the extension of Charles Cross the left
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: cackle position. Uh, you know, Abe Lucas previous to that,
• 40:34
  Speaker 11: you know, go way back there. Of course, I thought
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: that bringing back Josh Job was an important one as well.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: And then certainly again some of the so called you know,
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: kind of lesser known names that the Jake Bobos of
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: the world. Uh, you know the long snapper, Yeah, Drake Thomas. Certainly,
• 40:54
  Speaker 11: I'm a huge move because what a what a spectacular
• 40:56
  Speaker 11: player he's proven himself to be. So, you know, I frankly,
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: when once the Super Bowl or what's the super Bowl
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: was over in the saxt for hosting the Lombardi Trophy,
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: I thought, Okay, how many of these players are you know,
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: are you going to lose? The fact that they've retained
• 41:11
  Speaker 11: as many as they did, I think is means that
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: this offseason has been a success for them.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: The fact that they retained ten of eleven starters on
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: offense is really good, Like that's the glass half full.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: The only starter they didn't retain, obviously would be Ken
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Walker on the starting offense at eleven, and you know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: in Charbonnay being hurt to start the season is obviously
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: something I kind of feel like. Emmanuel Wilson's a prove
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: it guy. His contracts has proved So we'll see you
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and I will spend a lot more time maybe in
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the coming weeks talking about the running back draft class.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I think it feels like and we talked about it
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: a lot in the fall. I think a lot of times.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: We talked about in the fall with thought that Walker,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you know, may walk, you know, be part of the
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: pun may leave anyway, right, And so we kind of
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: looked at outside of Jeremiah Love, we looked at a
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: lot of those guys, which we'll talk about in a second.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Is that really the most glaring need on this roster
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: is a true number one running back and maybe you
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: can address that in the draft? Is that Is that
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: safe to look at it that way?
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: I think that it is. I think that it's the
• 42:13
  Speaker 11: biggest area of concern for the team right now.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: On paper.
• 42:17
  Speaker 11: However, I would argue that the single easiest position to
• 42:21
  Speaker 11: address in any draft, including this one, is it running back.
• 42:25
  Speaker 11: It's just easier to find those guys. You know, John
• 42:29
  Speaker 11: Scheider has invested a top fifty selection fifty two, to
• 42:34
  Speaker 11: be technical, the top fifty selection in a running back
• 42:38
  Speaker 11: in three of the last eight years, whether it be
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: Sharp and Ken Walker or of course we're shot Penny
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: years ago. So that's not uncharted territory for him. And
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: yet he's also found backs on day three like Chris
• 42:50
  Speaker 11: Carson for example, on drafteds, ragents like Thomas Rawls for example,
• 42:54
  Speaker 11: that you know also could carry the load if necessary.
• 42:58
  Speaker 11: I do think that is the biggest area of concern
• 43:01
  Speaker 11: for the club. Do you mention Emmanuel Wilson. I'm excited
• 43:03
  Speaker 11: about Emmanuel Wilson, but at the same time, I'm under no,
• 43:07
  Speaker 11: you know, illusion that he's not going to necessarily be
• 43:10
  Speaker 11: that the guy. I think that you have to have
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: a more dynamic back and I'm a big fan of
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: George Halawey, have been for a long time. Kenny McIntosh,
• 43:19
  Speaker 11: you know, the Dayls Jones, whoever you want to mention.
• 43:22
  Speaker 11: They've got some guys that are legitimate NFL players. I
• 43:25
  Speaker 11: don't know they have a true standout, but I do
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: think that there are some candidates in this class, whether
• 43:30
  Speaker 11: it be number thirty two overall and a slight trade
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: down Day two, day three. If your offensive line is
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: good enough, the passing game is good enough, you're going
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: to have a good running back will be could look
• 43:41
  Speaker 11: great and if you happen to get a great running back,
• 43:44
  Speaker 11: but who knows, he could wind up becoming Super Bowl MVP.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: All over again. Rob rang joining us courtesy are good
• 43:49

  Speaker 1: go and check out the happy hour early and late
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: and happy hour prices available even in the dining room

  Speaker 1: if you're there with the family. Maybe post a baseball
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: game or basketball game, whatever it might be for Rellispizza
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: dot Com. Rob Let's talk about pick thirty two, and
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: we know over the years we've been lectured on this
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: from Mike Holmgren, John Schneider and others. Most teams do
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: not have anywhere close to thirty two players that have
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: a first round grade on them. So if you pick
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: thirty two, let's assume when you get to that point,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: probably a good chance to whoever the Seahawks will be
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: looking at they don't have a first round grade on. Also,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: based on needs running back, which you just said, you
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: can find them. We'll get some of those guys as
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: a week's go on or other needs along the way.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Is this a good year to trade down with that
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: thirty second pick, especially when you only have four other picks.
• 45:01
  Speaker 11: I think it is in a funny way. You know,
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: as you mentioned obviously that the Seahawks only have four selections,
• 45:08
  Speaker 11: and so they'd like to add to that total. And
• 45:11
  Speaker 11: I think that the you know, it's easy to say
• 45:13
  Speaker 11: they want to trade down, but somebody of course has
• 45:15
  Speaker 11: to want to trade up. What helps to the Seahawks
• 45:18
  Speaker 11: cause is that there is such a gap between quarterback
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: one Fernando Mendoza, who will be the number one overall selection,
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: and then Alabama's Ty Simpson, the presumptive number two quarterback
• 45:29
  Speaker 11: in this class. I do believe that ty Simpson is
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: going to wind up getting into the first round, and
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: I think it's a very good chance he's going to
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: wind up going number thirty two overall to a team
• 45:40
  Speaker 11: that trades up into the late portion of the first round.
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: To secure that five year rookie deal that the Seahawks
• 45:47
  Speaker 11: just used so beautifully, and you know, initially creating a
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: space with Jackson Smith and Jigma as well as Devin
• 45:54
  Speaker 11: Weatherspoon to be able to kind of hammer out those
• 45:56
  Speaker 11: long term extensions. It's just kind of reinforcing the value
• 46:00
  Speaker 11: of that fifth year on a rookie contract under New
• 46:03
  Speaker 11: York Jets that select number thirty three overall, you might
• 46:08
  Speaker 11: be able to entice them to give you a middle
• 46:10
  Speaker 11: round selection to move up to number thirty two, just
• 46:13
  Speaker 11: move up one spot, but still could get you an
• 46:15
  Speaker 11: extra draft pick. So I do think that there is
• 46:18
  Speaker 11: a lot of possibilities, whether again it be a team
• 46:21
  Speaker 11: at the Jets, it's the own divisional rival of the
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: Arizona Cardinals, or or a number of other quarterback needy
• 46:29
  Speaker 11: teams data Pittsburgh Steelers that might be willing to trade
• 46:32
  Speaker 11: up to number thirty two overall give John Schnodder the
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: extra draft picks that he is looking for. Because, as
• 46:39
  Speaker 11: I'm sure you've heard by listening to our time together
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: or by anybody else, I mean, who you're going to
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: be selecting number thirty two overall is not appreciably better
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: than who you might find on the board of fifty
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: two overall.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the key, especially in this year's draft.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't think about it. Robert, that's a terrific point.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: That fifty year option is really big for a lot
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: of teams, especially if you see a guy that's I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: guess maybe that's where that that you know we're looking
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: at the grades, and he's not, he's a second round grade.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: But boy, if we can steal him at thirty two,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and but we have that extra fifth year whatever position,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that fifty year probably does come into play, and that
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: probably does make that thirty second pick someone enticing for
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: teams if they see somebody that they want.
• 47:24
  Speaker 11: No question about it. I mean, it is a massive, massive,
• 47:27
  Speaker 11: uh you know, advantage that that Seattle has that this
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: particular draft class happens to have some questions a quarterback,
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: it happens to be pretty rich at some of the
• 47:37
  Speaker 11: other positional groups that are generally valued by the NFL
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: wide receivers and edge rushers. I would argue that the
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: edge rusher and cornerback are two of the biggest positional
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: needs for the Seahawks at this point in terms of
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: depth behind running back. And so again, these are strong
• 47:55
  Speaker 11: positional groups. There might be a player there the Seahawks
• 47:58
  Speaker 11: like at number thirty two overall so much that you
• 48:00
  Speaker 11: have to stay and pick him. But if you were
• 48:03
  Speaker 11: able to entice the Jets, for example, again to move
• 48:05
  Speaker 11: up one spot and they're going to take the quarterback,
• 48:08
  Speaker 11: and then you know that that same player is going
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: to be available to you at a cheaper price and
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: number thirty three overall. And obviously the Seahawks would like
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: to have that fifty year rookie option for their top
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: players too. But at the same time, that's just that
• 48:20
  Speaker 11: that Super Bowl tax who talked about before, You've got
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: to do things in a little bit different way. I
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: think the Seahawks again, are in a really good position
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: because they do have a general manager and now a
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: head coach who has already kind of been there, done that,
• 48:32
  Speaker 11: and knows how to create this type of organization or
• 48:36
  Speaker 11: the typical organization.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Rob rang joining us courtesy I for Ellispizza Freliespizza dot com. Uh,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: family owned local business located locations throughout the South Sound.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Go check one out for Elliespizza dot Com to find
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: that location near you. Let's let's kind of revisit the
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: strengths of this draft. Let's just in not necessarily names,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: but just what are the position groups of strength and
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I guess when I say strength, especially depth in this draft.
• 49:03
  Speaker 11: Rob Yeah, wide receiver, cornerback, edge rusher, offensive tackle. To me,
• 49:09
  Speaker 11: those are the best groups that are again kind of
• 49:12
  Speaker 11: more of the premium positions. I like the interior, like noseguard,
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: some of the bigger body defensive tackles. There's not a
• 49:20
  Speaker 11: lot of those quick three technique penetrators. There's a couple,
• 49:24
  Speaker 11: but there are some big noseguard types. And I think,
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: you know, this year is a little bit better than
• 49:31
  Speaker 11: the normal. On the flip side, some of the weaker
• 49:33
  Speaker 11: positions we talked about quarterback, talked about running back. Uh,
• 49:36
  Speaker 11: those are not as strong as they have been in
• 49:38
  Speaker 11: the past. That's why this draft class has been and
• 49:41
  Speaker 11: I've been as guilty of it as anybody and basically
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: labeling this is not a very good class because it
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: just lacks some of the you know, the flashy names,
• 49:50
  Speaker 11: the flashy skill position talent that we come to associate
• 49:54
  Speaker 11: with high first round selections.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: The latest articleb on Fox sports dot com. I I'm
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: basically comparing Fernando Mendoza again, the presumptive number one overall pick,
• 50:05
  Speaker 11: you know, and if I was asked to compare him
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: to quarterbacks of the last several years, he comes in
• 50:11
  Speaker 11: sixth among the quarterbacks that I've been ranking since twenty
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: twenty one. That's not what you're expecting of a quarterback
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: is in go number one overall, and if I put
• 50:20
  Speaker 11: Ty Simpson on that list, he comes in about twentieth.
• 50:23
  Speaker 11: So again, it's just not it's lacking a little bit
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: at the skill position so called skill positions of quarterback
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: and running back, but at the same time, just about
• 50:32
  Speaker 11: everywhere else, including into positions the greatest concern for the Seahawks,
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: especially edge rusher and cornerback. I do think that this
• 50:40
  Speaker 11: is at least as strong as a typical class.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned wide receiver. I think that's
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: like the one place they don't need help as well,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: which also tells me that we'll be sitting there and
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: stunned when John Schneider with his thirty second pick keeps
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: it and takes a wide receiver. No, I kid a
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: sort of kid. I mean, js n Rashichi Head, Cooper Cup,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Jake Bobo, Tore Horton, Ricky White, who I know you
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: kind of liked last season. All there, Cody White got
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: resigned as well. I mean, if we include Cody White
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: in that mix, there's six guys that were roster guys
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: last year. The wide receiver position is the one that
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: can probably definitely not even think about using one of
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: those four or more draft picks.
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: On, I take to agree with you. I mean, I'm
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: a big fan as you mentioned a Ricky White and
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: Cody Whye I think is a good player. I mean,
• 51:29
  Speaker 11: that's why I was frankly a little bit surprised at
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: to see how decided to match the off for Jacksonville
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: head on Jake Bobo. I love Bobo as much as anybody,
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: especially what he provides the Seahawks in terms of run blocking.
• 51:42
  Speaker 11: But I thought the wide receiver was pretty flush already
• 51:45
  Speaker 11: your talent. And then there is a possibility that like
• 51:48
  Speaker 11: a local superstar a Denzel Boston happens to be sitting
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: on the board number thirty two overall, how do you
• 51:53
  Speaker 11: not select him when you know that he is one
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: of the best players in his class. He shouldn't follow
• 51:59
  Speaker 11: that far. He should be a go off the board
• 52:01
  Speaker 11: about about twenty. But wide receivers had a tendency to
• 52:04
  Speaker 11: drop sometimes in some of these classes, and so that
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: that would be the only thing I would say is
• 52:09
  Speaker 11: that the positional group is so good and a lot
• 52:12
  Speaker 11: of the receiver every year is going to be good.
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: He is just it's a It's a positional group that
• 52:18
  Speaker 11: a lot of the elite athletes at the high school
• 52:20
  Speaker 11: level gravitate to and they're able to do the tape
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: to learn how to actually run pro caliber routes, Whereas
• 52:28
  Speaker 11: it's much more difficult to do that as an offensive lineman,
• 52:31
  Speaker 11: for example, to learn how to really play at that level.
• 52:35
  Speaker 11: So I think that every year we're going to see
• 52:36
  Speaker 11: a rich receiver crop. But I think you can argue
• 52:39
  Speaker 11: that the Seahawks, with with the receivers that they already
• 52:41
  Speaker 11: have on their roster, they might just have the best
• 52:43
  Speaker 11: receiver room in all of the NFL.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's pretty loaded. I guess maybe there's trades,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Draft day trades you come into play with some of
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: those guys, But I just I'd be hard pressed figure
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: out which ones they'd want to move at this point
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: and contract wise and all those things. So before we go,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Rob and we'll get to we'll probably do running back
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: next week is a class and really kind of go
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: down that road with you a week from today. Before
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I go down that road, let me get to this
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Rob rang the You know, as we kind of as
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: we look around, everyone has some pro day's and local
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: guys are working out how do the pro days in
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: our state, our region go?
• 53:17
  Speaker 11: Well, I thought Washington especially performed very well some of
• 53:22
  Speaker 11: their players. You know, we've we've talked about a lot
• 53:25
  Speaker 11: of the big names. As I mentioned in Denzel Boston
• 53:27
  Speaker 11: is terrific football player, should be off the board in
• 53:30
  Speaker 11: the first round. I remain a big fan in Jonah Coleman.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: He did not run the forty yard dash, and some
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: people are questioned that just watched the tape. I mean
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: he's got thirty seven touchdowns over his career. I mean
• 53:41
  Speaker 11: the production speaks for itself. Terrific path catcher, terrific path blocker.
• 53:46
  Speaker 11: I think that he is a sneaky play for the Seahawks.
• 53:49
  Speaker 11: And about the third round, Tacario Davis, the cornerback looks
• 53:52
  Speaker 11: like Greek will in Part two.
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: So a big fan of his.
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: I'll give you a sleeper.
• 53:57
  Speaker 11: That I didn't know enough about the University of Washington.
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: Then at the pro day he was phenomenal, and that's
• 54:03
  Speaker 11: Antario Thompson. He was listed at six four, three hundred
• 54:06
  Speaker 11: and ten pounds and he came in closer to two
• 54:08
  Speaker 11: hundred and eighty pounds. His speed, his lot, his vertical
• 54:13
  Speaker 11: jump was really through the roof. He on he'll get
• 54:16
  Speaker 11: himself drafted just based on how we did at the
• 54:19
  Speaker 11: Pro day workout. Another one, Zach Durfy, has struggled with
• 54:22
  Speaker 11: injuries and ever since he has brought in from Sue Fall.
• 54:25
  Speaker 11: But at the same time talking about looking the parts
• 54:28
  Speaker 11: and having the physical athletic ability that as NFL teams
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: are looking for. I think those are two guys that
• 54:35
  Speaker 11: can get drafted on Day three that maybe some Husky
• 54:38
  Speaker 11: fans wouldn't know that much about except reading a little
• 54:41
  Speaker 11: bit of the you know, where is this guy kind
• 54:44
  Speaker 11: of thing, and it's going to wind up getting drafted
• 54:46
  Speaker 11: ahead of some other players that maybe have more on
• 54:49
  Speaker 11: the back of the football card, so to speak.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: It's it's a glorious time of the year, buddy, it
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: is a glorious time of the year. And I yeah,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: we're gonna spend more time talking about Johannah Coleman too,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: because I'm with you on that one. I think that
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: there's I mean, this is a cougar speaking too. I
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: would be more than okay to see Jonah Coleman not
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: have to leave the Pacific Northwest, you know what it's
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: all said and done, which would be good.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: Rob.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Next week, let's talk running back, shall we? Should we
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: go down the running back road and see what we
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: can find.
• 55:19
  Speaker 11: I'm looking forward to this great idea.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: All right, that's Rob Rang Fox Sports dot Com go
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: check the stuff out there. And of course he is
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: our draft insider. He'll be with us again this year.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Nothing like a Rob Rang firing off on Day three,
• 55:32

• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Before we get to the text four nine four five one,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: that is the unless it's changed. That Tookuma Doadge text
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: line four nine four five.
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: In wall.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: You guys are telling me there's all kinds of changes
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: going on in the studios right now, so I don't

  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. So before we get to that
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: in the text, which are some great texts for coming
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: in today, and before we turn it over get to
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Softy here in a few minutes, the Tiger Wood story
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: has taken another turn, and it's not a good one.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: So he has been arrested for driving under the influence
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: after the rollover accident in Florida. He refused, he took
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: a breathalyzer, passed it, but they're convinced that he was
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: in some way inebriated or or you know. So there's
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: he refused a year analysis which would check obviously for drugs.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so he's been arrested. So it sounds like
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: the path that he has unfortunately gone down before maybe
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: going down that again. So we'll keep an eye on
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: that story, all right. By the way, I was getting

  Speaker 4: Some twenty six to eighteen O.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, across the board.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Well, the bats too, because there's a legal bat that

  Speaker 2: has changed the game as well.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: The torpedo.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: The torpedo, thank you. I couldn't remember the name.

• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: of the Sonics have. They have one? They have one? Yeah,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: and you know what, if that team would have stayed
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: in Seattle, they have more than one. But everybody wanted
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: to leave your dump up a town in Oklahoma City.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: That's why you guys have just the one.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: Katie sold his soul to the Warriors and won two more.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: As Danny pointed out, three future Hall of Famers or
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: a Hall of not on the Hall of Famers MVPs
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: of the league, and you couldn't win with them in
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: the court. At the same time. That's almost impossible to do.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: You have the best GM and arguably, it's sports and
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: you won one.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that'd be hopefully the last one. Please got
• 1:00:49

• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: Think so, yes, Okay, absolutely, somebody watched when I go home,
• 1:00:57

  Speaker 2: Mariner game. I have to watch the replay of a
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: Celtics game when I get home from another game that

• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: a native son here sometimes is that we can make
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: references to schools and stuff. I'm talking about all the
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Catholic schools that do just the guy, the guy his

  Speaker 3: I'd have it, like literally an RV that someone drove
• 1:03:38

  Speaker 1: the sports book and hedge like I'm gonna do it
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: later on today.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: Let's go back to the MLBtv conversation. Here, paid one
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: far away from the one hundred and forty nine bucks
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 5: for MLB TV and still have local games blacked out.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: They want me to spend more for Mariners.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: To see, that's where the confusion. That's where the that's
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: where the confusion comes in.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: Ready, what it means MLB TV gives you every game
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: except local games, and then there's a specific package for
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: just Mariners.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: And I think you know, and I think that's what
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Kevin and Greg and the crew down at the at
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: T mobile it. It makes sense for a lot of people,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: but not everybody, right, And there are a lot of
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: people that spent money on that thing and then they
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: don't find out they don't get the Mariicas correct Or
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: there's people that spent money on the Mariners package Manners
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: team haven't found out that they already had it subscribe to.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they had it cable or something.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Right, So that was where the confusion comes in. I mean,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: here's a good thing. Is we have a baseball team
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: worth watching?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: Correct?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Right? Yes, this is year fifty. This will be hard
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: for people to understand. Not all fifty years, all previous
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: forty nine I've been worth watching.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, if you're if you're a recent Mariner fan,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: you won't You wouldn't understand that.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: What's the equivalent of a twelve since twelve for the Mariners?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: True the blue since twenty two? There you go, literally
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: just thought that, you.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Know what through the blue twenty two?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was the first thing that made the playoffs.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: So you know what you haven't heard in a long time,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: is the is the twelve since twelve?
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like all that that's a whole new Yeah, because
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: they want a championship.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I hate like Jackson mentioned it on Friday, I
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: hate gay King. Right, if someone wants to be a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: new fan, let him be a new fan.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, come on, yeah, I'm with you. Oh Jackson, do
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: this Jackson to being that guy.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, he was kind of preaching what I
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: just preached, like, don't don't get mad at fans for
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: coming in that are new, you.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Know, I like yeah, because you know who doesn't get
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: mad about that? The teams exactly. They like more fans.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Like if I said to Kevin Martinez or Chuck Arnold
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: or something, hey, do you think you should cap the
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: number of fans you have?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: Are you?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: Are you allowing only people that have been fans since
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: nineteen seventy seven career games?
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: Only personally? How about to check your idea? What would
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: you become a fan? Prove? Prove when you could be
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: a fan?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just license quick DSA in Before you get
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: to Jeremy's text regarding MLB TV, if you have T mobile,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: that everyone does. But if you have T Mobile, you
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: have this week to redeem a free year of MLB TV.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: So I have t Mobile, so like I have both
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: MLB TV through T Mobile, and I also got the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: Mariner's package so I can watch every baseball game.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: If you get Team Mobile, will you end up having
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: two great kids? Maybe?
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe not?
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: According to Okay, I'm just checking, Okay, all full companies,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Jeremy says, why is there an ad for a dance
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: party in Miami. I wouldn't go to it here, let
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: alone there. Jeremy, you're asking a question that we at
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: the radio station on air producers and host ass all
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: the time. And it's not just dance parties. It's basketball
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: in the Philippines, it's many other things. I can't answer
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: your question, Jeremy, but I'm with you. I wouldn't go
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: to a dance party here, much less Miami. If I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: go to Miami, I wouldn't go to a dance party.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: And it definitely wouldn't be a sober dance party. In forness,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: it's exactly sober dance. It's a morning sober dance party
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: in Miami. In Miami, I don't know if it's in
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 5: I think it's across the country, but I don't know
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: if there's even one here.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: I just can't see those three things going together morning.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm I'm old. So I guess maybe
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: someday I'll be doing the waltz at you know, at
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: the Center at at nine am or whatever. Maybe we're
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: talking about it.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
• 1:08:01
