- 0:07Speaker 1: There I go, ground ball up to the middle, Blet's have
- 0:11Speaker 1: it a foot, Rice, Hey, it's out. Second days, the
- 0:16Speaker 1: spread was on and Bliss wins to send this to
- 0:20Speaker 1: the tenth So much more Burgundy.
- 0:24Speaker 2: When you just hear the audio, you're.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Not watching it. I know.
- 0:26Speaker 4: That's why I was like, Oh, that was the most
- 0:27Speaker 4: Burgundy we had to play it.
- 0:29Speaker 2: It was full, full frontal Burgundy.
- 0:32Speaker 5: There was a lot of excitement there.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Oh, there were a lot of crazy calls last night.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I think they both handled it really well because that
- 0:38Speaker 1: was trying to put your finger on that game. There
- 0:40Speaker 1: were plays that we've just never seen before.
- 0:42Speaker 3: I mean, the.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Marriage of wacky baseball with new technology and new rules
- 0:48Speaker 1: that have been introduced into the game in the last
- 0:51Speaker 1: one to five years. It was never on grander display
- 0:55Speaker 1: than it's been the last two nights in Baltimore, Maryland,
- 0:58Speaker 1: and last night took the cake over the previous night.
- 1:01Speaker 5: Fully agree, Yeah, it was awesome.
- 1:02Speaker 1: It was fun.
- 1:03Speaker 5: Wait see what happens today.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It was awesome because we come away with two wins
- 1:06Speaker 1: out of that mess. Angry if you're Baltimore, Yeah, I'm
- 1:09Speaker 1: sure the Orioles, I'm sure their manager through a few
- 1:12Speaker 1: things after the game was over last night, But Mariners
- 1:16Speaker 1: do win in ten innings six to five. That was
- 1:18Speaker 1: Aaron with Ryan in the background doing stuff on the
- 1:22Speaker 1: call last night on Mariner's TV. Mitch Garver homer and
- 1:26Speaker 1: Randia rose Arena ended up with the game winning homer.
- 1:28Speaker 1: But really it was about narrow plays at bases home
- 1:32Speaker 1: and second base throughout the latter innings, the Mariners trying
- 1:37Speaker 1: to scrape together outs with a beleaguered bullpen that was
- 1:42Speaker 1: fatigued and only had four guys available, and even they
- 1:46Speaker 1: were not at one hundred percent, and somehow they patchworked
- 1:49Speaker 1: together a victory.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Ryan Bliss played a big.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Role in that, which we will give Greg Bell the
- 1:55Speaker 1: chance to talk about his favorite baseball player in the world.
- 1:58Speaker 5: Fan club.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Yeah, he put together a fan club called Bliss Techs.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It's his favorite Ryan Blisp and Texans all in the
- 2:10Speaker 1: same room. So we'll talk about that with Greig Bell.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Here in a matter of moments.
- 2:14Speaker 1: But first let's get to the rest of your headlines.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Brought to you by Frost Brewed Course Light Juice, Chill,
- 2:18Speaker 1: thirty six and thirty two. Mariners can go five games
- 2:22Speaker 1: over five hundred for the first time this year. They'll
- 2:24Speaker 1: be back in Baltimore for Game three of a four
- 2:26Speaker 1: game series, another three thirty five star time George Kirby
- 2:29Speaker 1: versus right hander Brandon Young. Colt Emerson missed two straight
- 2:34Speaker 1: games with that back injury of his, but he's not
- 2:37Speaker 1: been placed on the IL. We'll look at that as
- 2:39Speaker 1: good news. Cooper Criswell was placed on the IL yesterday
- 2:43Speaker 1: to make room for Nick Devilla. I don't think Criswell's hurt,
- 2:48Speaker 1: but that could be me just spreading gossip. Kyle Rawley
- 2:52Speaker 1: has been hurt and he's on reab right now. He
- 2:54Speaker 1: was in Tacoma yesterday and decided to hit two home runs,
- 2:57Speaker 1: including a Grand Slam for the Rain. We are certainly
- 3:01Speaker 1: going to talk about that later.
- 3:02Speaker 2: On in the hour. The World Cup.
- 3:05Speaker 1: The week is here, where one sleep away from some
- 3:08Speaker 1: World Cup action twenty twenty six. Brad Evans is going
- 3:11Speaker 1: to join us on the program today at nine o'clock.
- 3:14Speaker 1: NBA Finals Game number four tonight at five thirty back
- 3:18Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden. The Spurs could break their hearts
- 3:22Speaker 1: again and even up this series at two games apiece,
- 3:24Speaker 1: which is what we're all rooting for, and the Stanley
- 3:28Speaker 1: Cup final continues to be one of the most evenly
- 3:31Speaker 1: matched series we've seen in sports history. Las Vegas and
- 3:36Speaker 1: Carolina just continue to exchange haymakers and what was expected
- 3:40Speaker 1: to be a defensive series is turned into anything. But
- 3:43Speaker 1: they just keep scoring goals, and it feels like they're
- 3:46Speaker 1: alternating goals from period to period. Last night, Carolina got
- 3:51Speaker 1: an empty netter late to win by two hole goals,
- 3:55Speaker 1: five to three over Las Vegas, and they have evened
- 3:57Speaker 1: up that series at two games a peace. But the
- 4:00Speaker 1: story in our headlines that we're going to discuss with
- 4:02Speaker 1: our next guest is going to be Seahawks mandatory mini camp,
- 4:06Speaker 1: which was held at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center yesterday,
- 4:10Speaker 1: and Greg Bell was there in person to watch it
- 4:13Speaker 1: all unfold. Joining us now our Seahawks insider Greg Bell,
- 4:17Speaker 1: Good morning, sir.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Good morning throws me off without the musical interlude.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Ask me too. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Yep,
- 4:26Speaker 2: did you soak in all?
- 4:28Speaker 1: Did you get your Ryan Bliss bobblehead and your Ryan
- 4:30Speaker 1: Bliss jersey out last night and watch him make all
- 4:33Speaker 1: the key crucial plays to support your love for him
- 4:36Speaker 1: last night?
- 4:37Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. Who Ryan Bliss's agent is, but
- 4:40Speaker 3: should be me. I am all for Ryan Bliss. He
- 4:44Speaker 3: won the game last I know over Rose Arena, hit
- 4:46Speaker 3: the home run. But Bliss's dimension, of course, is his speed,
- 4:51Speaker 3: and it was his speed that one game on defense
- 4:54Speaker 3: last night, racing to the bag at second, racing to
- 4:56Speaker 3: that pop climb so right, racing over to that ground
- 4:59Speaker 3: b all the night before. They don't have that that
- 5:03Speaker 3: he's the one dimension. I know he's not hitting much,
- 5:07Speaker 3: but I just think his speed is something that they
- 5:09Speaker 3: can use all over the place. And yeah, keep him,
- 5:15Speaker 3: don't send him back.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Have you met him yet? I mean, I know you've covered.
- 5:20Speaker 3: That's what's funny. I'm going to haven't. And as much
- 5:23Speaker 3: as I keep talking him up, I'm hoping to keep
- 5:25Speaker 3: talking up to the point where I want to go
- 5:27Speaker 3: meet him and he says, oh, I heard you say.
- 5:30Speaker 2: I'll tell you this.
- 5:31Speaker 1: If you're a fan of him because of his baseball whale,
- 5:33Speaker 1: you meet him because he is just a wonderful young man,
- 5:36Speaker 1: Just a wonderful young man.
- 5:38Speaker 3: I've been told that I need to spend more time
- 5:40Speaker 3: lately in the Mariners clubhouse, But I don't know if
- 5:42Speaker 3: you saw at the end of the game Tuesday night
- 5:44Speaker 3: or whatever night, Monday night, whatever the night was. When
- 5:48Speaker 3: he first came up and Brad Adam and he were
- 5:50Speaker 3: talking about the fact that Brian Bliss's bags never made
- 5:53Speaker 3: it to Baltimore. They got stuck in Denver somewhere, so
- 5:56Speaker 3: I didn't have any clothes, and he and Adam were
- 5:59Speaker 3: joking that they about the same size, and Brad said, all,
- 6:02Speaker 3: I'll take the shopping. What's his shoes do you wear? Oh?
- 6:04Speaker 3: I we're tens too. Yeah, now there's a joke that
- 6:07Speaker 3: Brad Adam and Ryan Bliss are wearing in the same
- 6:09Speaker 3: clothing this road trip.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Well, JP's like his big brother. JP will take him
- 6:12Speaker 1: close shopping. He's got the funds, all right. Well, Greg
- 6:15Speaker 1: Bell is with us and he's our Seahawks insider of course,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and of course you can hear him at ten o'clock.
- 6:20Speaker 1: So we can talk about Ryan Bliss some more at
- 6:22Speaker 1: ten o'clock here today. But we do want to talk
- 6:26Speaker 1: to some Seahawks football mandatory mini camp yesterday. And you
- 6:30Speaker 1: didn't have to tell these players twice, other than a
- 6:33Speaker 1: couple of injury guys.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Everybody showed up yesterday.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Correct, Correct, DeMarcus Lawrence, the thirty four year old in
- 6:42Speaker 3: his thirteenth season who could blow it off but would
- 6:45Speaker 3: get fine for doing it now. Although I'm not sure
- 6:48Speaker 3: Mike McDonald would find these guys if he didn't show up,
- 6:50Speaker 3: they probably McDonald would, Pete Carroll wouldn't. But Devin Eastern,
- 6:54Speaker 3: the rookie seventh round pick the nose tackle, was the
- 6:57Speaker 3: only one I didn't see anywhere on the field without
- 7:00Speaker 3: explanation to where he was a rookie seventh round Prick
- 7:03Speaker 3: probably is excused or has a reason that he's not
- 7:05Speaker 3: on the field. He's probably somewhere around the facility. He'd
- 7:09Speaker 3: be unusual for a rookie to blow off a mandatory
- 7:11Speaker 3: mini camp. But yeah, everyone was there. By far, the
- 7:15Speaker 3: most surprising thing Chuck was right at the beginning of practice.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Here walks Zach Sharboney right with a trainer, and he
- 7:23Speaker 3: goes to the corner field by the lake, and he's
- 7:26Speaker 3: doing high hurdler, high step, high knees, lateral movements. He
- 7:32Speaker 3: wasn't just walking. He was doing far more. He's doing
- 7:34Speaker 3: the rapid fire chop high steps. He was doing far
- 7:38Speaker 3: more than a guy that is knee reconstructed less than
- 7:40Speaker 3: four months ago would probably be doing. Mike McDonald said
- 7:45Speaker 3: at the combine to us the last days of February
- 7:48Speaker 3: that the surgery went better than the team might have
- 7:50Speaker 3: thought and there's a more optimistic outlook than they originally projected.
- 7:54Speaker 3: But he made coy on a timeline. Oh, I wouldn't
- 7:57Speaker 3: have bet against Zach, and if anyone could do it,
- 8:00Speaker 3: I can usually an aco reconstructive surge. That's for football
- 8:04Speaker 3: players eight to twelve months. Eight. On the very very
- 8:08Speaker 3: optimistic side, he didn't have the surgery because of swelling
- 8:11Speaker 3: until mid February, so eight months after surgery, you're talking
- 8:17Speaker 3: mid October. Of course, that's well into the regular season.
- 8:21Speaker 3: What I'm not drawn conclusions because it's only June and
- 8:24Speaker 3: he's in T shirts and sweatpants and hoodie. But what
- 8:27Speaker 3: I saw yesterday suggested he might be beating that estimate,
- 8:32Speaker 3: and it perhaps he could factor into the early part
- 8:34Speaker 3: of the season. We'll see, Yeah, But it was a
- 8:37Speaker 3: surprise by far that he was even on the field.
- 8:39Speaker 1: A surprise and yet not surprising from the standpoint of
- 8:43Speaker 1: if that that to me is like, yeah, Zach Scharbonay
- 8:46Speaker 1: will get back earlier than expected. I don't know there's
- 8:48Speaker 1: just something about his makeup and the way he's wired
- 8:52Speaker 1: that even though it's surprising to see him be that
- 8:55Speaker 1: ahead of schedule, if any one would be, I know,
- 8:58Speaker 1: Charbonay would probably be up there at the top of
- 9:00Speaker 1: the list for me.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and McDonald had said that too and practically pragmatically
- 9:06Speaker 3: thinking and speaking. There's a reason for him to get
- 9:09Speaker 3: back because this is his contract here, this is the
- 9:11Speaker 3: last year of his rookie deal. The Seahawks have a decision.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Charbone's not stupid. He saw them just draft the running
- 9:17Speaker 3: back number one in the first round, jedari and Price
- 9:20Speaker 3: is going to be under a relatively cheap rookie contract
- 9:22Speaker 3: for the next four years. It's high time for sharbon
- 9:26Speaker 3: Ay or remind them why they draft him in the
- 9:28Speaker 3: second round a few years ago, why he ran for
- 9:30Speaker 3: twelve touchdowns last year. So, I mean, that's not the reason.
- 9:34Speaker 3: But he's motivated for sure because he doesn't have it,
- 9:37Speaker 3: just like Kenneth Walker this time last year. Zach Charbonay
- 9:40Speaker 3: doesn't have a football home after this season.
- 9:42Speaker 1: What do you mean by jadari On Price now?
- 9:44Speaker 2: More like RB one a.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Well in OTAs he was the clear number two and
- 9:52Speaker 3: he was mostly on the second team offense with Drew Locke.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Yesterday he was far more into the ones. He was
- 9:59Speaker 3: altering the very end of drills at scrimmages and the OTAs.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Yesterday he was getting whole series with the ones with
- 10:06Speaker 3: Sam Darnoldon's starting offense, and it was much more of
- 10:09Speaker 3: a job share. It looked a lot more like Kenneth
- 10:13Speaker 3: Walker and Zach Charbonna that season yesterday, so that was
- 10:16Speaker 3: the first time that I saw them adding two Price's
- 10:20Speaker 3: first team reps an entire series or two in team scrimmages.
- 10:25Speaker 3: So I still would be shocked if he's not the
- 10:28Speaker 3: starting running back Week one against New England September ninth,
- 10:32Speaker 3: If you dropped the guy in the first round, that's
- 10:34Speaker 3: the plan. The charbon At return would perhaps change the
- 10:38Speaker 3: dynamics of the starting running back position early in the season. Though.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks Insider, and of
- 10:44Speaker 1: course you can follow him at gee Bel Seattle, and
- 10:46Speaker 1: he does have complete coverage of day number one, a
- 10:49Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp yesterday.
- 10:50Speaker 2: A beautiful day to practice.
- 10:52Speaker 1: A little football and shells yesterday out at the Virginia
- 10:57Speaker 1: Mason Athletics Center and certainly a lot of other ground
- 11:00Speaker 1: to cover, including and I don't want to I don't
- 11:03Speaker 1: know who to give credit to for this tweet that
- 11:05Speaker 1: I saw.
- 11:06Speaker 2: It was just at random, but.
- 11:08Speaker 1: It certainly wasn't an observation I made on my own.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Somebody yesterday had just tweeted out, man is even worry
- 11:15Speaker 1: about the same size as DeMarcus Lawrence, as they were
- 11:18Speaker 1: sitting there sort of standing next to one another, And
- 11:23Speaker 1: that is kind of incredible that they could have the
- 11:27Speaker 1: same body type considering the positions.
- 11:29Speaker 2: That they play.
- 11:31Speaker 1: And so I would ask you, has has Lawrence gotten thinner?
- 11:35Speaker 1: Has Emon Worry gotten bigger? And why are they hanging
- 11:38Speaker 1: out together so much right now?
- 11:41Speaker 3: Well, to the first point, I think it's a little
- 11:43Speaker 3: bit of hyperbole. They even Worry is much much slender
- 11:48Speaker 3: and wiry. There may be similar height, but Tank Lawrence
- 11:53Speaker 3: is what he is. He's a tank. It's why they
- 11:55Speaker 3: call him that. He's got a huge upper body and shoulders.
- 11:58Speaker 3: He looks like fourteen thirteen year defensive end outside linebacker
- 12:02Speaker 3: and even warriy like the guy looks like a guy
- 12:04Speaker 3: who's twenty two years old growing into his body. So
- 12:07Speaker 3: I wouldn't say they look exactly. They're just similar in height.
- 12:10Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, the reason that de Marcus Lawrence's
- 12:14Speaker 3: biggest value, and he's got huge value on the field.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Obviously another Pro Bowl last year ed rusher who was
- 12:22Speaker 3: forcing just everything. Mike McDonald wanted him more. But his
- 12:26Speaker 3: biggest value to this team is his teaching. He does.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Mike McDonald said he has never seen ever in his
- 12:33Speaker 3: football career a guy that practices exactly as the coach's drilling,
- 12:37Speaker 3: exactly as they draw it up. He is the prototype
- 12:41Speaker 3: of how to do drills. And he pulls guys aside.
- 12:45Speaker 3: He pulls Riley Mills aside to the defensive lineman. He
- 12:49Speaker 3: pulled the undrafted rookie from Northeast Northwestern, the outside linebacker aside. Yesterday,
- 12:55Speaker 3: he pulled me Ki men Warrior aside to work on
- 12:57Speaker 3: steps and pass rush and these very picky, un minutia
- 13:03Speaker 3: drills around medicine balls and around hulla hoop rings for
- 13:09Speaker 3: leverage and leaning. He spends a lot of time with
- 13:13Speaker 3: other players, a guy who's obviously secure in his own craft,
- 13:18Speaker 3: but his influence, his umbrella spread of influence across the
- 13:22Speaker 3: breadth of the roster. He does it with Gray's able
- 13:24Speaker 3: in the offensive lineman too. He is a wealth of
- 13:28Speaker 3: knowledge that he's not willing to keep to himself. And
- 13:32Speaker 3: I asked even Worry about it after practice and he goes, Yeah,
- 13:35Speaker 3: this guy teaches me how to win. And he said
- 13:37Speaker 3: he does it in a really simple way. It's easy
- 13:39Speaker 3: to understand, to not clutter emon Worre's mind. Eman Orris
- 13:43Speaker 3: said that he really wants to refine his game this season.
- 13:47Speaker 3: He said he really didn't learn the part of the
- 13:50Speaker 3: defensive recognizing offensive formations and knowing what plays might be
- 13:54Speaker 3: coming until Week eight or nine last season. And when interestingly,
- 14:00Speaker 3: Jones yesterday, when someone asked him about Nicky Man worried,
- 14:03Speaker 3: what's the next step he can take? He said, in
- 14:05Speaker 3: the classroom, So it's the preparation now, the nuance, the
- 14:09Speaker 3: professionalism of being an NFL defensive player that the Seahawk
- 14:13Speaker 3: veterans are calling on even worried to improve upon. And
- 14:15Speaker 3: that's natural for a second year guy. Once you learn
- 14:18Speaker 3: in the physical speed of the game, the next step
- 14:21Speaker 3: is to perfect the mental. But yeah, Marcus Lawrence, it's
- 14:25Speaker 3: huge that he's back for this team. I know there
- 14:27Speaker 3: were some rumors that he might retire Mike McDonald has
- 14:30Speaker 3: had assurances he was going to be here. Here he is,
- 14:33Speaker 3: he doesn't have that. He's got six kids, he's made
- 14:35Speaker 3: one hundred and forty million dollars, he's thirty four years old,
- 14:38Speaker 3: he finally won his Super Bowl. But he's back and
- 14:40Speaker 3: he's fully engaged in teaching.
- 14:42Speaker 1: All right, So I take it to Devin Witherspoon didn't
- 14:45Speaker 1: show up angry at the world that he doesn't have
- 14:47Speaker 1: a contract extension like JSN.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Correct.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Yeah, he's smarter than that. No. Actually, he was more
- 14:54Speaker 3: participating yesterday than he was in the OTAs. He was
- 14:57Speaker 3: full go, fully participating in all the scrimmages. He was
- 15:00Speaker 3: sitting out most of the eleven on eleven in the OTAs,
- 15:03Speaker 3: and it looked like he was trying to save himself
- 15:05Speaker 3: from possibly any chance of getting hurt before he signs
- 15:08Speaker 3: the contract. It's gonna get done. It's gonna get done
- 15:10Speaker 3: probably around the start of training camp. But in the meantime,
- 15:14Speaker 3: he's ripping on Jake Bobo. Bobo took a bubble screen
- 15:18Speaker 3: pass and because you can't tackle and hit, Bobo runs
- 15:20Speaker 3: past all the defenders and runs through room down the
- 15:23Speaker 3: field and Witherspoon who was on the sidelines watching the
- 15:26Speaker 3: twos scrimmage, was just screaming at him. No, man, no
- 15:29Speaker 3: way that's going to happen in the game, because of
- 15:31Speaker 3: course everyone teases Bobo for being slow or slower than
- 15:34Speaker 3: most NFL player relatively slow, but yeah.
- 15:38Speaker 1: He's like the squars wanted me. You know, I don't
- 15:40Speaker 1: have to put up with this abuse.
- 15:42Speaker 3: I had an offer sheet. Yeah. No, it's pull Devin Witherspoon,
- 15:48Speaker 3: not just not a malecontent, not upset. No, it's moving
- 15:52Speaker 3: along its path. The devil's in the details of the
- 15:54Speaker 3: money offered. This the JSN deals and anomaly to get
- 15:58Speaker 3: done as early as it did. Smith. We talked about
- 16:00Speaker 3: that yesterday. But the guaranteed money when you get it,
- 16:03Speaker 3: how much is guaranteed its signing, how much is guaranteed
- 16:05Speaker 3: within twelve months against injury. That's why it takes longer
- 16:09Speaker 3: for these type of deals get there.
- 16:10Speaker 1: You were there covering this team in twenty fourteen, you know,
- 16:14Speaker 1: coming off of their Super Bowl win, and and by
- 16:17Speaker 1: the way, that was a very successful year. I mean
- 16:19Speaker 1: it was one yard shy of the Super Bowl, so
- 16:23Speaker 1: it's not like things fell apart after their first year.
- 16:25Speaker 1: But sometimes it does. Sometimes the teams win a championship
- 16:28Speaker 1: and they don't put it back together. They start coming
- 16:31Speaker 1: apart at the seams almost immediately. We've seen it happen before.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Why is that not a risk? What was the attitude
- 16:39Speaker 1: like on day number one a mandatory mini camp. What
- 16:42Speaker 1: is what is Mike McDonald putting in place to make
- 16:45Speaker 1: sure that this team is just as hungry this year
- 16:48Speaker 1: despite what they accomplished last year.
- 16:52Speaker 3: That's a good question. Check. These guys are more humble.
- 16:56Speaker 3: They have a coach who demands they be humble. Carrol
- 17:01Speaker 3: demanded the opposite. He wanted the bravado. He wanted guys
- 17:05Speaker 3: to be all about themselves and be the best sells
- 17:07Speaker 3: they can be. Go get yours. It worked, and Mike
- 17:11Speaker 3: McDonald's way is working too. But it's the opposite in
- 17:14Speaker 3: that regard. They've got younger players. Think about it, they
- 17:17Speaker 3: don't really have a super duper star. Yes, Smith and
- 17:20Speaker 3: Jigba just a meteoric season last year in ell Pro
- 17:23Speaker 3: and offensive player of the Year in the huge contract.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon, Yeah, we think he's a superstar out here,
- 17:28Speaker 3: but NFLI nationally not a jackantingsuper, not an all pro.
- 17:33Speaker 3: That Super Bowl team in twenty fourteen for the Seahawks
- 17:36Speaker 3: had Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas and Michael Bennett and
- 17:40Speaker 3: Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson entering his prime and Marshawn
- 17:44Speaker 3: Lynch all his persona. There were some dudes, and they
- 17:48Speaker 3: don't have a lot of dudes like that here. They
- 17:50Speaker 3: have a lot of selfless I don't want to say
- 17:53Speaker 3: no name because they're not no name, but they're far
- 17:56Speaker 3: less established. They're also not all making gigante money, are
- 18:00Speaker 3: about to sign huge extensions like top of the market extensions.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Smith and Jigbu and Witherspoonez, but everybody else. Legion of
- 18:08Speaker 3: Boom was about to go get theirs. And that's not
- 18:12Speaker 3: where this team and this defense is. So I see
- 18:15Speaker 3: a much different vibe. It was a show with those
- 18:19Speaker 3: twenty fourteen team, the bravado and the attitude and the
- 18:23Speaker 3: Richard Sherman just mouthing off and fighting with guys. They
- 18:28Speaker 3: lost a draft pick because of how much they fought
- 18:29Speaker 3: in off season practices and got fined for it. Not this,
- 18:34Speaker 3: this is such a different deal. It's a real testament
- 18:37Speaker 3: to Mike McDonald to get twenty and thirty year old
- 18:40Speaker 3: guys who are in a profession where they have to
- 18:43Speaker 3: make their money now because it's about the end to
- 18:46Speaker 3: be this selfless. It's a real leadership coup. And the
- 18:50Speaker 3: stuff he does, the military ethos, the togetherness, the teamwork,
- 18:54Speaker 3: it's working and it's just amazing to watch it. He's
- 18:57Speaker 3: pulled it off in just two years. And that I
- 18:59Speaker 3: keep reminding myself this is the first time he's ever
- 19:01Speaker 3: been a head coach at any level. Yeah, and he's
- 19:03Speaker 3: done it better than anybody in the football world. Yeah.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I think we've got a prodigy here. He's acing the
- 19:08Speaker 1: test his first time taking yea. Yeah, he passed the
- 19:10Speaker 1: bar the very first time that he took the exam.
- 19:13Speaker 1: All right, thirty seconds, Levet, What do you got today?
- 19:16Speaker 3: At ten o'clock, we'll talk everything I wrote for the
- 19:20Speaker 3: News Tribune and saw yesterday on the field. I'll detail that.
- 19:24Speaker 3: I'll talk about Jared Ivy as a new position, for instance,
- 19:27Speaker 3: and then go deeper into the roster. Eleven o'clock we're
- 19:31Speaker 3: hoping to talk to Bruce Sealdman National college football Guys
- 19:33Speaker 3: for The Athletic about the Brendan Soresby absolutely I mean,
- 19:37Speaker 3: have we ever seen college sports has broken it as
- 19:39Speaker 3: it is? United against one enemy. We've got one now
- 19:43Speaker 3: with Texas Tech the GAB. I'll be doing it from
- 19:47Speaker 3: the Virginia Mays Athletics Center by the way. Tomorrow they're
- 19:49Speaker 3: going to get their Super Bowl rings.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Oh oh wow, that'd be nice. If you've got one,
- 19:56Speaker 1: that'd be nice. They just slipped you once.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Yeah, that first step would be conflict of interesting not
- 20:02Speaker 3: very media ethic.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Would take one.
- 20:07Speaker 5: Off the night stand.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Oh, depending on who the coach is. Not everyone, but
- 20:15Speaker 3: depending on who the coach. I was across the bow.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Actually that was a couple of them.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 20:22Speaker 3: Man, We're not.
- 20:23Speaker 5: Shut but we don't we don't mess around.
- 20:25Speaker 2: We're bow shooters.
- 20:26Speaker 1: All right, Greg, Well, listening at ten, talk to you soon,
- 20:30Speaker 1: all right? All right, Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider. You
- 20:32Speaker 1: can follow my at g Bell Seattle there on X
- 20:34Speaker 1: and of course he's got complete coverage of the Seahawks
- 20:36Speaker 1: for you at the News Tribune dot com. Coming up next,
- 20:38Speaker 1: ABC's of the Ems. Yeah, there's a lot more to
- 20:41Speaker 1: get to about the Mariners today, so we'll we'll hop
- 20:44Speaker 1: to it next. On Sports Radio ninety three, point three
- 20:46Speaker 1: kJ r F M no's for Old Garf, and I
- 20:49Speaker 1: need people to stop thinking about Old Garf when they're
- 20:55Speaker 1: watching New Garf.
- 20:56Speaker 5: Okay, okay, we got a new Garve on on our hands.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Near New Garve's great. Newgarve is exactly what you want
- 21:05Speaker 1: a backup catcher to be. But we're still thinking about
- 21:09Speaker 1: Old Garve and how much he let us down because
- 21:11Speaker 1: he was supposed to arrive on the scene, and he
- 21:14Speaker 1: was supposed to be a big free agent addition, and
- 21:18Speaker 1: he was supposed to destroy left handed pitching and he
- 21:21Speaker 1: never really did any of those things. Remember he wasn't
- 21:24Speaker 1: even supposed to catch for us. Yeah, he was just
- 21:26Speaker 1: supposed to be a designated hitter and then me. And
- 21:30Speaker 1: he was very excited about that because he told us
- 21:33Speaker 1: in our first interview with Old Garve that he believed
- 21:37Speaker 1: that all of his injury problems that he'd had throughout
- 21:39Speaker 1: his career were the result of how much of a
- 21:44Speaker 1: beating he took behind the plate. He wasn't even supposed
- 21:47Speaker 1: to catch. He was supposed to be like a third
- 21:48Speaker 1: emergency catcher for this team. Well, now Newgarve's not making
- 21:54Speaker 1: nearly as much money. Was brought back was certainly humbled
- 21:58Speaker 1: by a couple of years of not succeeding here, and then,
- 22:03Speaker 1: despite the fact that he didn't have the greatest time
- 22:06Speaker 1: as a Seattle Mariner in terms of how the fans
- 22:10Speaker 1: treated him, he made that very public. He was he
- 22:14Speaker 1: was fought for by Cal Rawley during spring training. Remember
- 22:18Speaker 1: he'd been replaced. We had Andrew Kisner here. Yeah, and
- 22:20Speaker 1: so Mitch Garver comes and says, Okay, you fought for me,
- 22:25Speaker 1: and I did have a great time with his team
- 22:27Speaker 1: and these teammates, and I want to be a part
- 22:30Speaker 1: of this, and thank you Cal, and you kept my
- 22:32Speaker 1: major league career alive. And then he joined the team
- 22:36Speaker 1: fighting for a roster spot, which he won, and as
- 22:41Speaker 1: a pure backup catcher. So we can't think of new
- 22:46Speaker 1: Garve as old Garf. Old Garve was supposed to pound
- 22:49Speaker 1: the hell out of pitchers, especially left handed pitchers. New
- 22:53Speaker 1: Garv is just supposed to be a quality backup who
- 22:57Speaker 1: the pitchers love to throw to and won't feel like
- 23:00Speaker 1: their worlds come apart if cal Raley's not behind the plate,
- 23:04Speaker 1: and we'll hit the occasional home run because he does
- 23:06Speaker 1: have power. New Garf is sensational because he's brought us
- 23:11Speaker 1: so much more than that he's actually hit since cal
- 23:14Speaker 1: went on the il new Garv is the best challenger
- 23:18Speaker 1: in the world. He's second best statistically going into last night,
- 23:22Speaker 1: and he was perfect last night. So he might have
- 23:25Speaker 1: overtaken Carson Kelly from the Cubs as the number one
- 23:31Speaker 1: challenger in the sport right now, but an over eighty
- 23:34Speaker 1: one percent overturn rate right now for Mitch Garver as
- 23:37Speaker 1: a challenger, and he was doing it successfully again last night.
- 23:41Speaker 1: And Newgarve also had a couple of pretty nice tags
- 23:44Speaker 1: because despite what they went on and on and on
- 23:48Speaker 1: about last night about what a great play Cole Young
- 23:51Speaker 1: made from shortstop to home, that was not a great play.
- 23:54Speaker 1: It was good play, yeah, but he threw it to
- 23:57Speaker 1: the wrong side of home plate. You throw that to
- 23:59Speaker 1: the right side of home plate, that's an easy out
- 24:02Speaker 1: at home and Garf had to go across his body
- 24:05Speaker 1: to make that tag. So you know, I mean, backup
- 24:08Speaker 1: catchers are what they are. Backup catchers you don't expect
- 24:12Speaker 1: a whole lot out of And that's the way that
- 24:14Speaker 1: we've got to view New Garf. So whatever problems you
- 24:18Speaker 1: had with Old Garf, you got to put those aside,
- 24:20Speaker 1: because this new Garf guy is doing a great job
- 24:23Speaker 1: on this baseball team this year.
- 24:25Speaker 5: We've got to make room for new GARV.
- 24:26Speaker 2: New GARV. New Garves great to hang out with.
- 24:29Speaker 3: He is.
- 24:30Speaker 5: I mean, that guy could chug a beer, let me
- 24:32Speaker 5: tell you.
- 24:34Speaker 3: So.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Yes, and he's going to stay. So I know there's
- 24:38Speaker 1: this what happens when Cal gets back. It's easy. Parade
- 24:40Speaker 1: is going to go down to the miners and new
- 24:43Speaker 1: Garf will be the backup. Because if you let go
- 24:46Speaker 1: of new Garf, you're he's gone where Parade still has
- 24:49Speaker 1: option rights and you can hold on to him at Tacoma.
- 24:52Speaker 1: And you want to Yeah, you want to keep all
- 24:53Speaker 1: three guys in your organization.
- 24:55Speaker 4: Right, and I don't want to see Parada get sent down.
- 24:57Speaker 4: But the last thing I want is to not have
- 24:59Speaker 4: all three. So if that's the way we got to
- 25:01Speaker 4: do it, then that's the way we gotta do it.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Hey, nothing wrong. We have a new Garf on your
- 25:04Speaker 2: baseball that's.
- 25:05Speaker 5: Right, new Garf. That guy he's gonna winning. Smile.
- 25:07Speaker 1: New Garf comes on the bus like, hey, Newgarf, sit
- 25:09Speaker 1: by me.
- 25:10Speaker 4: Yeah, come here, Hey no, no, no, new Gar's supposed
- 25:12Speaker 4: to sit by me today.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Meanwhile, like when old Garf came down and they're like
- 25:17Speaker 1: seats taken all right, P is for piggyback.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Ashley. Uh oh, I want the piggyback back me too.
- 25:32Speaker 5: I said this.
- 25:33Speaker 4: I'm not that exactly yesterday, but I said, I like
- 25:36Speaker 4: the piggyback man on the six man rotation because we're
- 25:39Speaker 4: not saving the bullpen.
- 25:41Speaker 2: We get to save the bullpen if we're having this.
- 25:43Speaker 1: And I and for the record, and I've already stated
- 25:46Speaker 1: this this morning, I don't think we should be having
- 25:48Speaker 1: this much trouble trying to get our bullpen healthy and
- 25:53Speaker 1: available to us.
- 25:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:55Speaker 1: I don't know why it's such a challenge right now
- 25:59Speaker 1: when our bullpen has thrown the fewest innings of any
- 26:02Speaker 1: bullpen in the American League so far.
- 26:04Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:04Speaker 1: It doesn't seem to me like we've had some harrowing
- 26:07Speaker 1: moment where a starting pitcher was only able to go
- 26:10Speaker 1: an inning in two thirds and it shook our world.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I think the not pitching munjos in brash enough, only
- 26:18Speaker 1: saving them for certain opportunities has forced us to use
- 26:22Speaker 1: other guys more frequently, and it's thinned out our bullpen
- 26:26Speaker 1: even though Munjos and Brash want to pitch more, especially Munyos,
- 26:30Speaker 1: I think that's what's caused this. I don't know what
- 26:33Speaker 1: to even describe it, logjam. Whatever it is that we
- 26:36Speaker 1: have right now where we can't get through a game,
- 26:39Speaker 1: We're barely getting through games with enough relief pitching. It
- 26:43Speaker 1: stems from the way that the group has been used
- 26:46Speaker 1: to this point this year. It has nothing to do
- 26:49Speaker 1: with how much they've been used overall, if that makes sense.
- 26:53Speaker 1: And so if we're going to struggle this much with it,
- 26:55Speaker 1: we got a long effing way to go in this season.
- 26:59Speaker 1: And if Piggyback saves us from using the bullpen and
- 27:03Speaker 1: makes Dan's job easier, since this seems to be, you know,
- 27:07Speaker 1: the ultimate Rubik's Cube in his life, he can't figure
- 27:10Speaker 1: out how to make this work. The piggyback gives you
- 27:13Speaker 1: a night every five nights, every six nights, if you
- 27:16Speaker 1: get a day off in which you don't have to
- 27:18Speaker 1: use theoretically the bullpen at all. Now I wouldn't put
- 27:23Speaker 1: Miller back in that role, but I maybe I goose
- 27:28Speaker 1: two different guys.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Probably would use Castillo still, But if we're going to
- 27:33Speaker 1: struggle this much to get through a week without a
- 27:37Speaker 1: day off with our bullpen and having one fewer guy,
- 27:42Speaker 1: then maybe it's essential. The piggyback thing worked. Yes, it did,
- 27:47Speaker 1: and we won two out of three games. Both starting
- 27:49Speaker 1: pitchers were phenomenal, and the bullpen did get rested a
- 27:53Speaker 1: lot more than what it does on an average night
- 27:56Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. So if we're going to struggle
- 27:59Speaker 1: this much, if it takes, if we're on June tenth
- 28:02Speaker 1: and we're like our bullpen is taxed even though they've
- 28:05Speaker 1: been taxed least of any bullpen in the American League,
- 28:10Speaker 1: then maybe we need the piggyback just to save us
- 28:13Speaker 1: from our decisions that we make regarding how much we
- 28:17Speaker 1: use our guys.
- 28:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm all for saving arms. It's a long season, right,
- 28:20Speaker 4: we want our guys to be healthy. We don't want
- 28:22Speaker 4: anyone to be overused. But I think we're taking it
- 28:24Speaker 4: to an extreme, and it seemed I mean, even in
- 28:27Speaker 4: the loss with the piggyback that wasn't on the pitching.
- 28:29Speaker 3: No.
- 28:30Speaker 4: So I don't know the argument for six man rotation
- 28:33Speaker 4: versus piggyback. I don't know how anyone could think the
- 28:35Speaker 4: six man rotation is a better option when you look
- 28:39Speaker 4: at what the piggyback actually does for our bullpen.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I want the piggyback, pickyback, piggyback, piggy piggy back back,
- 28:46Speaker 1: pig pig piggyback, piggyback, piggyback back. Finally and quickly, and
- 28:54Speaker 1: I do have to be quick. It's a good thing.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Q is for quick, Ashley. I realize Cal needs some
- 29:01Speaker 1: time down there, but I don't want to waste two
- 29:03Speaker 1: home run games in Tacoma. No, like five innings yesterday.
- 29:09Speaker 1: He's already hit like one to the wall and two
- 29:11Speaker 1: over the wall.
- 29:12Speaker 5: He's good.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he be good?
- 29:15Speaker 1: If he's good, he's good. If he looks like he
- 29:18Speaker 1: can catch nine innings.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Fel good if.
- 29:21Speaker 1: He catches nine innings. I don't know if he's playing tonight,
- 29:25Speaker 1: I don't know. If they're going to give him a
- 29:26Speaker 1: day off. I don't know. But in his next game,
- 29:28Speaker 1: if he catches nine innings and looks good at the
- 29:30Speaker 1: plate again, then I say we bring him back in
- 29:32Speaker 1: time for Friday, and I have the Rainiers game. I
- 29:35Speaker 1: would like nothing more than to have the col element
- 29:38Speaker 1: on our broadcast on Friday night. But I would rather
- 29:41Speaker 1: have him in Washington, d C. Friday night catching.
- 29:44Speaker 5: For him, and that's understandable.
- 29:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if and he doesn't seem to be
- 29:47Speaker 4: feeling any ill effects, so let's go.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Well, I say one more time, he needs to catch
- 29:53Speaker 1: nine innings.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Give him.
- 29:55Speaker 1: You know, they'll probably give him today off and then tomorrow.
- 29:58Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how they're it, but I think
- 30:00Speaker 1: this is gonna be a quick stint for cal in Tacoma.
- 30:04Speaker 1: There's no rule that states he's got to stay down
- 30:07Speaker 1: there a week. If he's ready to go and he's
- 30:09Speaker 1: hitting bat and he looks better at the play than
- 30:11Speaker 1: he has all season long.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Then let's get him in a Mariner uniform.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Get you up all right? Coming out next Reckless at
- 30:16Speaker 1: breakfast on kJ R. And I hate damn.
- 30:18Speaker 5: Pants and I don't like what socks either.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Originally it was hot pockets.
- 30:22Speaker 1: We're gonna be soggy pockets, and people just didn't like
- 30:25Speaker 1: to eat them because they fall apart, all right, They're
- 30:27Speaker 1: just gross and clumpy. So they went with the hot direction,
- 30:30Speaker 1: which was a.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Great call, excellent marketing moves, right, But I.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Don't I goll only have a few minutes and I'm
- 30:37Speaker 1: gonna get pretty reckless today, and I don't know how
- 30:39Speaker 1: long this is gonna take. So Dick Fane's in the
- 30:42Speaker 1: green room night now, getting ready to join us for
- 30:44Speaker 1: Seahawks one series at eight o'clock. I hope we don't
- 30:47Speaker 1: have to bump him, because I'm gonna get pretty reckless
- 30:51Speaker 1: here today. We got to talk about the sordid Brandon
- 30:53Speaker 1: Swordsby affair that has shocked the college athletics world here
- 30:58Speaker 1: and look, we can all recognize it on its face
- 31:02Speaker 1: as this is wrong, this can't be and.
- 31:08Speaker 2: How could we let this occur?
- 31:12Speaker 1: And we need to cut it out like a cancer
- 31:16Speaker 1: and make sure that the Brandon soresbyas of the world
- 31:19Speaker 1: do not impact our collegiate athletics going forward. Okay, so
- 31:24Speaker 1: I'm with you, but that's one layer deep. What if
- 31:28Speaker 1: I were to say, recklessly, this is a great.
- 31:31Speaker 5: Thing that happened, I don't know I feel about that.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Well, hear me out.
- 31:38Speaker 1: It's a great thing to happen, because when all of
- 31:40Speaker 1: this process started, I warned you all. First of all,
- 31:43Speaker 1: Reckless at Breakfast was pretty much ten years of me
- 31:46Speaker 1: warning you what was getting ready to happen with college
- 31:50Speaker 1: football and college athletics, and that we're going to start
- 31:53Speaker 1: paying these players and all of this stuff. I didn't
- 31:55Speaker 1: see the transfer portal thing happening. I certainly didn't warn
- 31:58Speaker 1: you about that, but I agree warned you long before
- 32:02Speaker 1: the NIL thing became part of our lives that it
- 32:04Speaker 1: was coming and that we needed to be ready to
- 32:08Speaker 1: embrace it. We're going to probably have to enter a
- 32:10Speaker 1: new college football world going forward to save college football,
- 32:15Speaker 1: and so I warned you that, and then I have
- 32:17Speaker 1: also said when it did occur, we're going to go
- 32:20Speaker 1: through this period of martial law. We're gonna go through
- 32:22Speaker 1: this period of the wild wild West, where man, I mean,
- 32:26Speaker 1: everybody's getting shot in the saloon, and how do we
- 32:29Speaker 1: keep that from occurring and yet keep college football alive.
- 32:34Speaker 2: We don't want to shut down the saloons.
- 32:35Speaker 1: They're big money makers, but man, we got to somehow
- 32:39Speaker 1: restore order here in the wild wild West. And so
- 32:43Speaker 1: I told you a period of that was coming, and
- 32:46Speaker 1: it hasn't even though I think a lot of people
- 32:48Speaker 1: were embraced for it, it certainly hasn't prepared us for
- 32:51Speaker 1: all the weird things that were going to catch us
- 32:53Speaker 1: off guard. Oh, I didn't think that was going to happen,
- 32:55Speaker 1: and yet it happened, and yet we've dealt with it,
- 32:58Speaker 1: and guess what, the sport has grown. I mean, despite
- 33:01Speaker 1: all of our complaining and hand ringing and everything else,
- 33:05Speaker 1: the game is better than ever, more popular than ever,
- 33:08Speaker 1: even though most people that you run into that are
- 33:11Speaker 1: college football fans say they hate it and.
- 33:12Speaker 2: They don't really like it anymore.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Okay, and so it has grown. Now, obviously we can't
- 33:18Speaker 1: allow this Soresby thing to take hold of our collegiate athletes.
- 33:23Speaker 1: We can't allow them any kind of room for error
- 33:26Speaker 1: to think that they can gamble on their team or
- 33:29Speaker 1: gamble on their sport, and that that's okay. But when
- 33:32Speaker 1: you have something this big, like something that shakes the
- 33:36Speaker 1: entire foundation of sports, then it pushes us further from
- 33:42Speaker 1: getting out of this period of anarchy, this period of.
- 33:46Speaker 2: The wild wild West. This is going to force us
- 33:48Speaker 2: to make laws.
- 33:49Speaker 1: This is like going up in the saloon and shooting
- 33:52Speaker 1: everyone dead. It's going to force us into some governance here.
- 33:57Speaker 1: And so I think maybe this is going to be
- 34:00Speaker 1: the thing that we needed in order to finally get
- 34:03Speaker 1: our arms around it, to recognize we're not dealing with
- 34:06Speaker 1: college athletics the way that we used to certainly not
- 34:09Speaker 1: college football and college basketball on the men's side.
- 34:12Speaker 2: We have to treat this differently.
- 34:14Speaker 1: We got to treat it more like a professional sports
- 34:16Speaker 1: arena in order to preserve something that we all love.
- 34:21Speaker 1: And maybe we needed this one big story that everybody
- 34:25Speaker 1: could get behind to finally take the impotent NCAA and
- 34:30Speaker 1: push them out like a cigarette butt. Finally get rid
- 34:33Speaker 1: of them, get them out of the way. They're just
- 34:35Speaker 1: standing in the way of progress, and we finally turn
- 34:38Speaker 1: this into a commissioner, a set of a collective barging agreement,
- 34:46Speaker 1: players association. All of that we just got to give
- 34:49Speaker 1: into this world. And then we can set rules that
- 34:53Speaker 1: don't have that a judge in lubb It can't overturn.
- 34:57Speaker 1: We can say, we have a lead binding agreement that
- 35:02Speaker 1: you are not allowed to gamble on college football or
- 35:05Speaker 1: anything else while you're in college football. So we can
- 35:11Speaker 1: put those rules in place, and then if you break
- 35:14Speaker 1: them in your collective bargaining agreement, which your association has
- 35:17Speaker 1: signed off on and everybody has to agree, has to
- 35:21Speaker 1: be for the betterment of the sport moving forward, so
- 35:23Speaker 1: that we can all keep making money and that fans
- 35:26Speaker 1: can all keep enjoying something they've grown up with and
- 35:29Speaker 1: love dearly. If we can start, we can put it
- 35:33Speaker 1: on paper. And now you're breaking league rules. Now, some
- 35:39Speaker 1: smart ass judge trying to win favor in lubbing isn't going.
- 35:44Speaker 2: To overturn that.
- 35:46Speaker 1: So I think maybe this is the final straw that
- 35:50Speaker 1: leads us to finally recognizing what it is, what it's
- 35:54Speaker 1: no longer going to be. We're never going to go back.
- 35:58Speaker 1: We're not putting the cap back in the bag, and
- 36:01Speaker 1: we now need to govern it as it currently is constructed.
- 36:05Speaker 1: We've seen enough of the wild West. There have been
- 36:08Speaker 1: too many shoot ups in the saloons, and it's now
- 36:11Speaker 1: time to put laws in place. And then we will
- 36:14Speaker 1: start within our own rules, our community of rules, and
- 36:18Speaker 1: not the America's rules. In our own community of rules,
- 36:22Speaker 1: we will snuff out anybody that thinks they can get
- 36:25Speaker 1: away with this kind of behavior ever.
- 36:27Speaker 4: Again, Yeah, and I hate that it has to all
- 36:29Speaker 4: get broken in order to get fixed.
- 36:31Speaker 5: But if that's what has to happen, that's what has
- 36:32Speaker 5: to happen.
- 36:32Speaker 2: I think that's what has to happen.
- 36:34Speaker 1: I think it had to happen eventually, and so maybe
- 36:37Speaker 1: this was the last reckless thing that we needed in
- 36:42Speaker 1: order for everyone to wise up. Let's just get the
- 36:44Speaker 1: NCAA and does this. Cut them out, kick them to
- 36:47Speaker 1: the curve. They need not to be involved, even though
- 36:49Speaker 1: we all sided with them on this one. Yeah, they
- 36:52Speaker 1: obviously can't enforce anything anymore, they have no power. They've
- 36:55Speaker 1: always been bad at what they've done, So let's just
- 36:57Speaker 1: cut them out completely. At least for the two big
- 37:00Speaker 1: sports men's college basketball and college football. We got to
- 37:04Speaker 1: start treating these like professional sports, period. And that's and
- 37:08Speaker 1: that requires a commissioner, a league rules, a collective bargaining agreement,
- 37:13Speaker 1: a players association, all of that we just got to
- 37:16Speaker 1: give into it. That's got to be the project for
- 37:17Speaker 1: the next offseason. Okay, all right, Coming on next Seahawks
