  Speaker 2: almost by the home run, right every night home runs

  Speaker 2: Third and final game of the series is today at

• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of three games under five hundred, two and a half
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: games back at first place in the Al West. The Sounders, man,

  Speaker 2: down in Mexico. No surprise that to Luca's the winner
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to the two of the last three League MX championships
• 2:39

  Speaker 2: you next hour on the show. Today. What I saw
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and heard tenth practice at Seahawk Training Camp yesterday and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I mentioned Jackson Smith and Jigbo ten twenty five. You're
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: here from Montre Foster Junior.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Who's that? He's a substitute teacher at Lakewood Saint Edwards
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: High School just outside his hometown of Cleveland and he's
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: also a c Super Bowl champion trying to make the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: team again.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: It's very Kurt Warner vibes when it comes to that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's a wide receiver trying to make the team
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: as on special teams in a crowded wide receiver field.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: He was a substitute teacher all of last season. The
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Seahawks called him at the end of December, signed me
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to the practice squad and then Lake with Saint ed
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: my nephews went there. I have a lot of ties
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to that area and grew up in Ohio. Lake with
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Stan called Monterrey Foster in the first week of January
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: when school Christmas break was over and said, Hey, can
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you come back in substitute teach tomorrow? And he said,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm in Seattle. I'm actually getting ready to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: go out to practice for the Seahawks. You ever heard
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of them? I'm in the NFL now. He made thirteen
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a week for the final two to three
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: weeks of the season, was on the roster for all
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. Talk to us about going to the Super Bowl.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You'll hear from Monterrey Foster at ten, twenty five years
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl ring. He went back and showed it
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: at Lake with Saint Ed's. Needless to say, he is
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: not substitute teaching at school. Began in Ohio here in August.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: He is in Seahawks training camp trying to win a job.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: An interesting story. Ten forty five Aj Barner, the tight end.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: You'll hear from him. He was talking to Dave Softy
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Mahler and Hugh Millen yesterday on our station about new
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, who we heard from yesterday on
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the show. And now here's Aj Barner, who stands, as
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I said, to perhaps be a Pro Bowl all Pro
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: type tight end in this offense. You'll hear from AJ
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Barner about his new offensive coordinator and how it highlights
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: tight ends. At ten forty five. At eleven o'clock, we're
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: going to go to LA our friend and very popular guest.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: All of you on the text line want more of
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: far Hunt logy.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: He's really good.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He is great. He's down there with his buddy and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: TSN Canada down at LA. He's been doing. He's gone
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to forty nine Ers camp this week. He's gone to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Rams camp yesterday. He was there when Aaron Donald had
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: his tryout with the Rams.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: O can't wait to hear about that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna talk to you about that. It's going
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to be a done deal. Aaron Donald's going to be
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: back with the Rams. Yes, it's just a matter of when.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Aaron Donald smart enough to wait until September. First, he's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: not coming back.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: On he's a veteran.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want to go through training camp again, so
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: he's gonna wait until training camps pretty much over, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: then he's probably gonna be get on a plane and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: go to Australia for the opener for the Rams and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers on September the tenth and play.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It looks like that's what's going to happen. I'm going
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to talk Toofarhan. We're going to hear from him at
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: eleven o'clock from Rams camp. He's going to Chargers CAMPAX
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: week in today and he was at Cowboys camp in Auxnard.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: He's made the rounds in LA and California area this week.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You'll hear from him at eleven o'clock eleven thirty year
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: text and talkbacks as we do every day at that
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: time that the komodage text on is four nine four
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: to five one, and please. Jess McIntyre actually called me
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: last night at about eleven o'clock still sad that she did
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: not have any talkbacks.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Really wounded me.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: It ruined her day. It ruined her day. So don't
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: ruin her day. Have some talkbacks on the talkback iHeartRadio app,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the Little Red microphone or nine through three kjar dot com.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not as lonely though, since you're here.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, jessin It helps appreciate that. Yeah, it's
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: very sweet, thank you. I was going to start the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: show talking about the tenth Seahawks practice, but I have
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to talk about Jimothy because what are we doing?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: It's so fun and what are we doing this team?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: On this team, they are four games now, three games
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: under five hundred in a terrible division. And forty one
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: thousand people were in the yard last night on a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Wednesday night in August because it was Jimothy Knight, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: they handed out car Jessman as a prized owner of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a card that is apparently the hottest item, a Jimothy
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: card the Mariners printer.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: There's like a coin and stuff. People are going crazy.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: What are we doing here? He was racing with the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: there was a dressed up Jimothy. He won, Yeah, with
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the salmon race on the warning track. Can we just
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: get us a damn World Series? Please get done with
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the Jimothy. This team is so talented and they're in
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: their window, and they got the pitching staff and they
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: got and we get Jimithy, give me some wins in
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Division Crown and a World Series. We've talked about it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: They won last night.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: They did win last night. Yeah, can they win for
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: like a week so they can get in first place.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: It's all it's gonna take.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: But we'd hope so.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But now they get Tampa Bay, the best team in
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the American League. After the series finale against Detroit, then
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: they go to Nanke Stadium. Then they get the trash
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Cans in Houston. This is probably the wrong time to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: ask for a six game winning streak, but that's what's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: gonna take. And if they get that, they'll be in
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: first place. Texas has done it. Qu string a few together.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know you don't need a six game
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: winning streak, but you know, going four and two instead.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: We get Jimothy.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: But it's so fun, Craig.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: It's fun for those who want to just go to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the yard and watch a deformed raccoon. It's not fun
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: for the real baseball people who've watched this day for
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: so many decades just not do it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I know, but that like fifty years. Okay, I get it,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: But I'm just saying that if you're going to add fun,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: the winning is separate.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Like these are two separate things.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I say, have fun winning, Well.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, duh, I mean everybody wants that.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I'm rid of the Jimothy and give me somebody who
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: can hit left hand and pitching, someone who could pitch
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: an eighth inning. To get Jimothy is killing me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Forty one thousand in the yard not because they're trying
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: to see the Mariners beat the Tigers. It's because of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: jimithy and thirty five thousand come because of hot dogs
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: from heaven and oh it's working as a business model.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It's working. If you can get forty two thousand, forty
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: one thousand people to see two subterranean teams under five
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: hundred teams in the middle of August on a Wednesday night,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: it's working. It is as a business proposition. It ain't
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: working as a baseball proposition. And that's what the fans
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: in this town are sick of, and deservedly so you
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: will never hear me talk about fans frustrated at the Mariners,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: because they deserve to be all of you have spent
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: your time, your money, your effort, and your money and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: your effort and care and your money on the Mariners
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: for fifty fricking years and they don't have a World
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Series and they give you Jimothy, And because it's working,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: they give you Jimothy Knight two. And because it was
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: great last night, guess what, They're already gonna have a
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Jimothy Knight three. I'm told, really, yes, stop, don't give
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: me a deformed raccoon. But there are many people who
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: like jesseinan Doucie. It is fun. So they go to
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the yard and they just cheer Jimothy on the world.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I'm a baseball fan, you know, but I can also
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: find it fun.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I can't. I'm sorry, I I I do. I just
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I'm disagreeing because I'm just I'm fed up of watching
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: this franchise squander this chance. They've never been this close
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to a World Series in a division that is just putred.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: They should be winning this division in a boat race
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and they're under five hundred and they're trotting out. Jimothy enough, stop,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: give me some wins, give me some division title, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: give me in the playoffs and get us into this
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: World series that you're John Stanton talked about on opening
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Day that I wrote about for the News Tribune. Don't
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: give me four games under five hundred and August with
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Jimothy Knight done. Period ended.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: What if they were leading the division and Jimothy still
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: has it's.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Still the accident on the wrong syllable. You need to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: be focused on getting the players in, whether it's motivation,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the right players in the yard, bringing in the right
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: bullpen at the relievers at the right time. That's what
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: they need to be focused on. And I get it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: The baseball side is completely different than the Jimothy promotion side,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: of course, and it's a business and the Mariners are
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: making money and they're averaging thirty seven thousand people a game.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Their attendance is in the top ten in the league,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: yet they're in the bottom ten in the league. In
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: baseball what it matters, and it just drives people that
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: actually care about the sport of can the Mariners finally
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: make the worst. They drives them crazy and rightly, so
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: don't give me Jimothy Man, it's just the timing is
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: so bad. But timing is so great because everybody's so
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: John Oliver had it on his show. I told you
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: before that the only shows we watch on television is
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Live Sports at our house, Live Sports or the John
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Oliver Show taped and watch it at our convenience. Last
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: week tonight on HBO. It airs every Sunday night. He
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: led his show last week with Jimothy Oh.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: It's nationwide. It's insane, it's global.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Right, And so I get back that side of the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Mariners side that's trying to and it was originally here
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: in Seattle the meaning. I get that, but it's so
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: frustrating for those of us who just want to see
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: a competent baseball team cash in on this gigantic opportunity
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: it has. This will go down and this is saying
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: something for this town. This will go down as the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: most disappointing Mariner's season in history on the current trajectory. Yes,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: worse than one hundred last seasons, worse than the strike
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: that canceled an entire year in the World Series. This season.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: If they stay on this trajectory and don't win this
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: god awful division, will be the most disappointing season in
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Mariners baseball history. And man, is that saying something? And
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: on August the ninth, sixth, fifth, we get Jimithy instead.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing. Put it in the same category
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: as hot dogs from Heaven and bottle heads and fireworks.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Chris and I used talk about all the time. It's working.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: People come out to watch that crap instead of the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: baseball that's supposed to They should be packing the yard
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: because the Mariners are twenty games over five hundred, leading
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the division by twenty one games right now, for the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: talent and the pitching that they have. Instead we get
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: one sixty eight hitters and we get Jimothy Man. I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: don't know if you all agree with me four nine,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: four or five one. I think if you watch the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Mariners for more than a year, you do agree with me,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: because it is maddening and there is no fan base
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: in sports that deserves to be frustrated and ticked off
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: than the Mariner fan. Absolute empathy for all of y'all.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I've only been in this town since nineteen ninety four.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: And I feel it. I would shudder.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: That's quite a substantial part of your life.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Correct, But think about if you're a Mariner's original season
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: charter season ticket hole used to watch games in the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Kingdom in nineteen seventy seven and watch Ken Phelps and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: watch Bradley and watched le Fever and watched all those
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: dudes and watched Mark Langston and watched the ceiling tiles
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: fall from the Kingdom like I did before game against
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Cleveland that you're pissed, fIF Man. You've been spending money
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and time and now you've got a team that is
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: so good in eight outs from the World Series last year.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And maybe they were in over their head and played
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: above their ability because they had a sixty home run
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: guy who carried him. Maybe, but they were that close,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: and they had their whole fan base, they'd not close,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and your face planning of a season like this, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you give us Jimothy man, I'm I'm about out.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not feelings.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I just when I saw that last night, I just said,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: come on.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Was it my text or were you?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: I was I was both And I said I saw
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: it because Jess was at the yard yesterday just to
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: set some context, and she was out for pregame and
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: she told me the story.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I don't mind if I tell you. I don't think
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you'll mind if I tell you. You said you were on
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: your way out at end the pregame.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: And they got to see I got to see it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And they handed you a card.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: They yeah, so I could take a picture of it
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: so I would know what was going on.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: And that apparently that blew up that gymsy is so
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: popular that that even just picture.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said, I posted a picture of what
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: they were doing, and I said I wouldn't put it
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: out on social media until they actually started the game
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: or opened the gates when people were going to be
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: getting them.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I apparently, and I think I hashtagged it,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and there's like all these coins and bots and everything.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: It's like Jimothy is crazy.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: So it was just to be clear. So I understand
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: they were forty one thousand and almost forty two thousand
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: in the yard last night because they were given out
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Jimothy cards.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I think they had T shirts too.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: I only got to see the cards because I was
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: there so early during pregame and so I got to
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: see that. But I think there were T shirts too,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: that those weren't out yet. But yes, I texted Greg
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: a picture of Jimothy and apparently I sent him on
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: a spy for hall.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: You did?
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: You? Did?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You about ruined my month? I almost snapped. It was
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: an unnatural reaction, I guess, But I don't know how
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: unnatural it is. Maybe those of you in Seattle that
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: have been Mariner fans for a few days share my dismay.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know for I haven't logged into the text
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: line to see if you all agree with me or
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: there's a lot.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: We've got YouTube comments coming into and a couple of talkbacks.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Have already rolled in, so that makes me a happy girl.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: If I'm if I'm off based on this, tell me,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I have at it. That's why we
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: have a text line, That's why we have talkbacks, that's
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: why we have the YouTube channel. Hello YouTube. If I'm
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: off base on this Jimothy bull stuff.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for that. She had the reach of
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: the dump button. I was right there.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: If I'm off base, tell me, man, tell me.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: We have a lot of varying opinions that are coming in.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: We'll get to those at eleven thirty but this is uh, yeah,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: it's very fifty to fifty.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Freaking Jimothy hop Neck. We're not talking about Timothy for
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the next segment, I'm not. I probably.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: I can't wait for you guys to hear this guy.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: This is someone you got to root for.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: This was kind of an accidental fine, I'll be honest
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: with you. Monterrey Foster, Michigan State. He stayed all five
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: years at Michigan State. I could do a whole story
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: just on that in college football. How rare that is.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: And you wait till you hear how he's just a
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: love for Michigan State. He went through a coaching change,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: a coach got fired for sexual harassment. He stayed. He's
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: from Cleveland, which is another place close to my heart.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Subject's interesting he went to the state of Michigan.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: That's correct. Yeah, he's not the first big Ohio player
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: to do that. He played high school football for one year.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: He was an All state basketball player. He had Division
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: One offers to play college basketball. His high school football
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: coach begged in the come out at St. Edwards High
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: School in Lakewood, just out just west of Cleveland. He
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: went out his senior year. He became second team All
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: State in football, got a Michigan State scholarship. Now he's
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: got a Super Bowl ring for the Seahawks, and he's
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: a substitute teacher in his alma mater, Monterrey Foster. You're
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: here from him next on ninety three point three KJRFM
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: got here at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center at Seahawks
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: training camp live on ninety three point three kJ r
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: F M Montry Foster, wide receiver in his second You're
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: at a Michigan state team. Just thanks for coming. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: know you're a busy man. Yes, thanks for having me.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: This is your second training camp. Last year as an
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: undrafted rookie, the Seahawks side you in May. You had
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: it was a hamstring injury at this time last year, right, ye, yes, sir,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: waved injured hamstring. Then you went back to Cleveland, Ohio,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: your hometown, and you were a substitute teacher at Lakewood Sat.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Ed's High School. I have nephews that graduated from St.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Ed's Stubenville down the state in Ohio. Okay, what was
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that whole experience like being in an NFL training camp,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: still being in an NFL playing shape obviously as it
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: turned out. But going back to your high school and
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: teaching during while the Seahawks are winning games on the
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: way to the NFC West, you were teaching back at
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: your high school.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was definitely different. I did a lot of jobs. Honestly.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: I actually went back home and I got my real
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: estate license, so I did that with substitute teaching at
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: my high school, and then I was also training kids,
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: little kids in football too, So just a way to
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: just give back to the game and keep myself busy
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: while I wasn't here in the building.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: And when you were released, did the Seahawks say, hey,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: when you're healthy, will call you or how did that work?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: I had no clue, man, So you know I would
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: go to gyms. I live in Ohio, so we got,
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: you know, winners. So I'm trying to find a quarterback,
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: trying to find indoor facilities to throw and just stay
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: in game ready shape. So you know, I was ready,
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: so I didn't have to get for sure.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: How did you do that? Did you did you finding quarterback?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Did you find indoor facilities? Did you go to a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: gym and a heart a basketball floor? How did you work?
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: It's crazy?
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: I actually found one of my quarterbacks in a local
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: gym by Luck By Luck. Yeah, this guy, this random guy. Uh,
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: he just like he was like, man, if you need
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: a quarterback, you know, I throw to you. And I
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: was like, I thought he was just bs and but
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: he actually we got together and we started throwing together,
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: and you know, that's still my guy to this day
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: and we get extra working and off season.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: For sure. This is a high school team of the years. No,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: it was a random guy.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: He worked at this local gym and we just started
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: talking and conversating. He was like, hey, man, you know
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: I could throw the throw the ball to you. So
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, I don't know. I don't know about this,
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: but I gave him a shot and he was great.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: He was great for me for sure, and he got.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: You ready to the point that the Seahawks called you
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: again in December and resign you to the practice squad. Yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: there's a shot out his name. What is he give
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: him credit for?
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely Jake Dski. Yeah, the former may Mayfield High
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: school quarterback.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, Jake Dosstell is part of the reason that Montory
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Foster is sitting in front of us right here at
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Seahawks trading camp. So the Seahawks call you back in
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: December thirty th you signed of the practice squad. Yeah,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: you were on the practice squad through the Super Bowl.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Tell us about the Super Bowl experience and joining the
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: team and the playoff run after not being here the
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: whole time. You knew some guys and you knew the
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: but that was probably a surreal experience.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this definitely was different for sure.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: And then you know, being on practice squad, getting to
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: go to the game to see in the atmosphere like
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: it was just second to none, Like the twelves. The
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: fans are great, man, I love them and everything. And
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: it was also a great time to just hone in
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: on my craft and go against a lot of the
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: top cornerbacks that were Super Bowl cornerbacks too as well
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: to help me sharpen my game as well too.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: So tell us the Super Bowl experience for a practice
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: squad player who you didn't think you'd be activated for
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: the game, or at least maybe you were preparing us
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: if you would, because that's how you have to be prepared, right,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: But enjoying all of the festivities, the big enormity of
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl without the pressure of having to play in.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: It was that.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: How different was that experience? Were you and not not?
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: You were along for the ride, But that's not that
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty cool deal to just walk into that situation.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was pretty cool. Man.
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: It was like I said, I'm truly grateful just to
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: be in that experience. It was awesome. The festivities, the fans,
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: everything about it. And then especially like the gear and stuff.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: I have so many, like just items like sunglasses, sert
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: sweaters and everything that. You know, it's just something that
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: I would never forget.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: You didn't play basket or football until your final year high.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: School, inquis and then so I actually played when I
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: was younger, and I stopped when I was like ten
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: years old, and then I was just a hooper all
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: throughout high school. Then my senior year, I was like, man,
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: let me try out football again. And you know, it
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: kind of went from there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Was it on your own or did a coach and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: encourage you or how did you get back into football?
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: So my high school coach, he would come up to
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: my locker every day since my freshman year in high school,
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: was like, hey, man, you need to come try out football,
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: Like I think you can be a stud and I
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: was like, I don't know, I just want to play hoops.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Those guys on the field over there, they just too big, man.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: I don't want to get hit. But you know, my
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: last year, my senior year, I came out and just
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: had fun and you know, made some plays and got
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: some offers and now we're here today.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: His first career high school start was week two of
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: his senior season for Saint Edwards High School.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: To my correct about that, yeah, I think it was
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: week two of week three. Yep.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yet Michigan State and others offered you a scholarship. You
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: were second team All Ohio for just playing one year
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: at wide receiver, and Michigan State other offers. Why Michigan
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: State was that the one that were on your first?
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that was the only big school that was on
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: me first. And then I had a couple other friends
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: that went to Michigan State as well, so you know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: it was close to home. My family could come to
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: the games, and it was just a perfect scenario for me.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Goes into the Big Ten, and then as a five
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: year letter winner, you stayed all five years, which, as
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: you know in this day and agel, college football is
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: not usual, you went through a coaching change. Mel Tucker,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the staff that hired you fired, and then Jonathan Smith's
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: staff came out at Michigan State. Right, How important was
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: it and did you give thought to how meaningful it
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: would be to stay all five years and what the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: NFL might think of that?
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: I wasn't really thinking about I mean, I'm always thinking
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: about the next level, but I wasn't really thinking about
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: that next step in the NFL. But for me in
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: that time, I think it was just the best move
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: for my family. And you know, I love Michigan State
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: to death like I Lee Green. So you know, I
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: wanted to stay home and you know try to you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: turn things around at Michigan State. And you know that's
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: what I try to do. I put it all on
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: the field and that's what I did.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: How close were you to accepting the Akron in Eastern
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Kentucky scholarship for basketball? Was that even that when you
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: close it?
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: You know it was on the back burner After Michigan
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: State came, I was like, let's make a business decision.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Let's let's make the smart decision right now.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly. This is Montry Foster. He's a wide receiver in
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Seahawks training. Here for the second concept, if you're joining
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: us here on the Seax turning cap at ninety three
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: point three KJR, this is a crowded wide receiver field.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: They always are. You've shown out, you've you've seem to
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: have a rapport with Jalen Milroe catching passes as well.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: How do you assess how it's gone and where it
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: stands for you and the whole roster shuffle here?
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, with me, I'm just focusing on like what I
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: can do, what I can control each and every day.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: So it's not about you know, outside noise or you know,
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: me making a play or whatever. I want to do
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: this like consistently. So you know, I have a standard
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: that I hold myself too, So every time I step
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: on the field, I'm trying to, you know, upheld that standard.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: You were here this time last year with the rest
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: of the offense learning Clint Kubiak's offense. Now you're learning
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Brian Fleury's offense. What are the differences? What are the similarities?
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I would say it's probably it's still a little similar,
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: just different verbage. So I would say, you know, it's
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: not too much of a learning curve with everything because
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I kind of been in the same system, the West
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Coast spread offense kind of system. So it's been going
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: pretty smooth so far.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: What teams are you on? Special teams?
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: You're on, Yeah, so I'm on punt I'm on punt
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: return and then maybe ko R Actually all four honestly,
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: so yeah, all four is you?
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: And how important may that end up being for you
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to make the team as a special teams player.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: It's huge. It's huge, for sure.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: So that's why you know, I'm trying to pay attention
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: to details and you know, learn from you know, my
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: mistakes each and every day and just get one percent
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: better each and every day in that aspect as well.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Cleveland, I gotta ask you Lebron James fan or not?
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: You huge Lebron j fan? So I always heard about
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: that that trade to the seventy six ers. I was
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: super hurt. You were hoping he's coming back home exactly?
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Were you a Browns fan growing up?
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I am?
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: I am, Okay, definitely huge Browns fan.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right. In your wide receiver room, as
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I mentioned, very crowded, but you have veterans in there. Jackson'
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: spin and Jake performance speaks for itself. But a lot
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: of the guys in there talking about Cooper coach in
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: that room, How does Cooper cup mentorship helped you and
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: what do you learn from him?
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: It's been great, man.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: I feel like we had a situation yesterday, you know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: we had a competition drill and you know, he was
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: coaching me up on my routes and what I could
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: have did in a situation. So just seeing him come
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: to work every day, him put like the hard hat
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: on and you know, going there and block it just
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: shows to a testament of you know, who he is
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: as a player, but also just you know, he is
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: a perfect example to look up to. So that's kind
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: of what I've been doing each and every day, just
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: learning every day from him because it's been great.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: You still have the substitute teaching on. If you're needed,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: they going to cut your back.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Or is that yeah, that's my home man, for sure.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: Definitely they're trying to give me the coach. So there
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: and not yet not right now.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: What was the reaction of you as a Super Bowl
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: champion when you went back home and was that a
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: big deal of the Saint as it was?
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: It was this big deal actually brought the Super Bowl
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: ring back to my high school and stuff, so they
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: got to see it and they the ceremony or whatnother.
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: It wasn't a ceremony, nothing big. It's just kind of
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: like I just popped up on him and stuff. And
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: my coach got to see it because he played a
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: huge part of me just playing football in general. So
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: you know, I just wanted to wanted to show him
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: that ring, to just attest to all the hard work
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: I put in and to be able to show him
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: that was just a blessing.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: That was the coach that would buggy in the hallway
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: to come back. What was his name, Coach Lombardo. I
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: think it's been there a while, hasn't He's been there
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: for a while. Yes, there For those who don't know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I grew up in Ohio put high school football High
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Lake with sat that it's a Division one monster program
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: in Ohio with some big, big deal about.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Well, Tory, I know you're busy.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you dropping by all the best you've messed
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: of luck for this coming season. It's great to chatter,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: all right, thank you, Yes, sir, Montory Foster of the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: When the rosters are at ninety. These are the kind
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: of stories that I try to find a training camp
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: that tell you more about someone that you may have
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: never heard. I doubt you've heard of him, and if
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: you have, if you're a really hardcore Seahawk fan, only recently,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: you have heard about him. They didn't sign him ntill
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: December thirtieth of last year. How it works is, once
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: you get on the practice squad, you get thirteen thousand
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: dollars a week, thirteen seven hundred or so a week
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: while you're on the practice squad. If you get called
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: up and the active roster, then you start getting a
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: pro ration of the minimum seven hundred and forty thousand.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Dollars a year.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: So that's why it's a big deal for practice squad
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: clayers to get on the roster. But you don't think
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: about the pic. I mean, when we were at the
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: super Bowl last week, Jessman, you and I are last February,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: you and I we were going around and interviewing players
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: on media days, and they were at tables. Nobody went
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: up to the practice squad guys.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: No, No, they actually like especially on the opening night
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: when they're all just out there on the floor and
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: there's your specific eyes on the podiums. Yeah, they're so
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: accessible and you could just go and talk to them
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: and I enjoy doing that.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: And they're just overlooked and you don't think of them
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: as being on the team, but they were there. He
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: was on the sideline in Santa Clara the night they
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl. He has a ring because he
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: was on the team and the practice squad. Then he
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: went home and he didn't know what they were and
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: they signed into a futures contract in January. And what
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: that means is you had the opportunity, if you do
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: well in the offseason practices, to be on the ninety
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: man roster when the season, when the preseason begins, and
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: that's where Monty Foster is right now. He made a
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: nice play yesterday in the back of the end zone.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I see him all over Jay Harbough's special teams, the guys.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Which is a huge key to making a roster right now.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: He reminds me something of in the way he looks
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: as he plays. Of Cason Williams. You remember him from
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Skyline High School in the University of Washington. He was
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: a training camp at preseason Star here for a long
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: time he actually got eventually signed with the Browns when
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: it finally wouldn't stick with the Seahawks, but summer after summer,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Cason Williams would just be blowing it up and never
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: stuck with the Seahawks. Monterrey Foster, as I mentioned, is
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: in a very crowded wide receiver room that you don't
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: know how he might make the team with all the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: wide receivers that they have. But here's this guy is
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: a licensed real estate agent and a substitute teacher who
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: he heard the story. He's just in a gym, like
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: a twenty four hour fitness type of place outside of Cleveland,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: his hometown. He goes on the east side of Cleveland,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: right by JFK High School. I played JFK High School
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: when I was in high school and as some chuck
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: who just walked up to him saying, Hey, I heard
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: your football player. I can throw balls to you and
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: keep you in training, and he's like, who the hell
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: are you, and so Jake Dostel I just looked him up.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: He's right Mayfield Village High School quarterback in Ohio.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I'd love that story so much.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Helped him work out and kept him in sharp enough
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: so that when the Seahawks called him back after cutting
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: him in August, he was ready.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: And the way he described him too, he's like just
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: a guy.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: We're just some random guy that he saw at the
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: track or turned.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Out he was a former high school quarterback of some
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: repute as a huddle page and a Scout profile. Let
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: me also say this, I played high school football to
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: a state championship, but I played in two state championship
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: games at Ohio State even Columbus at Ohio State University
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: in Division two. He played at Division IE, the level
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: above one, above two from where I played. It is
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: not easy to make even second team All state in
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Ohio and football it is hard.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the powerhouse state.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Especially when it's their first year of ever playing football. Now,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: he said he played when he was a little kid,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: but he did not play in grade school, middle school,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Plague football, junior high, high school until his coach is
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: you heard him begging him in the hallways to come
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: on out, come on, and he went out. It's not
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: easy to get a Big ten scholarship, let alone a
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Big ten scholarship after only one year of high school football.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: That's what Monterey Foster did, it's not easy to stay
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: at college for five years in today's DNAs, especially through
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: a coaching change and a very ugly coaching change in
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Meltucker Michigan state of sexual harassment, and he did, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: he said he's in Michigan state bleeds Green. He said,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: it's not easy to get into the NFL at any
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: level practice squad ninety man roster, and he did that.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: It's sure as hell ain't easy to be a substitute teacher.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: And a real estate agent called on no notice to
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: come out of Seattle join the practice squad, win a
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: super Bowl, and b by the way, your schools call
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, can you teach science tomorrow? Our teacher's sick.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: I got those calls.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: You were substitute.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Teachers too taught, and you know you do that as
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: a side household note. I don't think there's many substitute
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: teachers that have teaching as their full agenda for their plans.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: But you do it, and if you have the education
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: to do it, you go. And yeah, getting that call
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: at five am must have been hilarious while he's like
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: in training or you know, at practice.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: So full disclosure. To wrap up the story, we ask
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: every day for Seahawks PR. I remember I told you
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: we can't go in the locker room because it's ninety
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: men and we're not allowed to pick off anyone we want.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: So we are kind of at the mercy of not
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: kind of. We are at the mercy the Seahawks PR
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: department on who they provide to us to interview each day.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: And we asked for a bunch of players, and we
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: asked for the offensive coordinator. We asked for Anthony Bradford
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: yesterday and they gave us Monterey Foster. And I my
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: first reaction was, I have nothing to ask him. And
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: during the show yesterday in the breaks, I was looking
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: up Foster and I came across his Lakewood Saint Ed's
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: alumni page and that's where I found out about the
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: substitute teaching and the gym and the Super Bowl ring.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Going back to that's and I'm cramming and during commercials
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: yesterday to come up with questions ask him, and I
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: came across this. I was like, Holy cow. And then
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: that's it's a great story, right, and now it's going
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: to be I'm writing the News Tribune and that's what
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: training camp is, and that's We all know about Jackson
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Smith and Jigbo and Cooper Cup and AJ Barner and
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold on the offense, but Monty Foster in the
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: eighty seven is one of those when you're watching the
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: preseason games, you can think, Ah, that's a substitute teacher
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: with a real estate license who's trying to make it
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: pretty cool story. If he makes the team, he's going
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: to get a lot more than thirteenthis dollars a week,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: So that's that's cool for him. Up next, let's talk
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: to A J. Barner, the tight end. We should be
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: talking to him about his cowboy hat and his foe.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's fit. I've heard talk about it. Yeah,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: faux for. It was not real. It was not for
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: those activists out there, it was not.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: He did not kill wildlife to wear.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: That at the parade, went full Macklemore and threat shopped
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: in the hole fit.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Instead, he's going to talk about the new offensive coordinator,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Brian Flurry.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: A J.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Barner's up next. Farhan Loalgy from Rams Camp from TSN
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Canada down in la Is Up at eleven o'clock on
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three kJ R f M Welcome back,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell. Just been McIntyre with you live on ninety
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM in Seattle. We're here every weekday
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: ten to noon, and usually I'm at the Virginia Mason
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Athletic Center this time of day at Seahawks training camp.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: But today their practice is later, and it's shorter, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: it's in T shirts and bucket hats. It's the eleventh
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: practice of training camp. Mike McDonald's been stretching them out
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: with really long practices. I asked him about that. We'll
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: get to that later. We'll get to a J Barner
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: right now. The tight end who I think is a
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: chance to emerge as a Pro Bowl almost all pro
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: type tight end in this tight end centric offense. It
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: is really, if not centric, might not be the word,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: because of Jackson Smith and Jigbick, Cooper Cup and all
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: well intense correct there are focused far more on tight
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: ends down the field, throwing the ball down the field
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: to AJ Barner, Elijah Royo, Heck, Eric Salbert, Nick Vennett
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: than they were last year under Klint. Kubiak and AJ
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Barner sat down yesterday at training camp with Dave Softy
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Maller and Hugh Mellen to talk about this in their
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator, Brian Fleurry.
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: Brian Florey coming in talk about the use of multiple
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: tight ends that you expect to see for us to
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: see with the Seaharks this year.
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you're seeing that because you know that
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: the tight end position is almost becoming a position where
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: each guy can create their own role in it. You know,
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: you have a guy like Kenyan Sadik, for example, who
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: got drafted in the first round from Oregon, who's you know,
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: a six to one guy at two thirty five, two forty.
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: Or you have someone like myself who's you know, six
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: six and two sixty in a little bit of a
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: different role. And I think with our with our room
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: here in Seattle. Uh, you mentioned Elijah. Elijah's one of
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: those guys that's extremely talented player that can really stretch
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: the field vertically, almost like your ex receiver from back
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: in the day. But now you have them as a
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: tight end as well and able to line up with
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: his hand on the ground, in the hip, in the
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: slot all the way out at number one. And then
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: you have guys like Eric Sobert and Nick Caller up
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: and Brady Russell who Brady might line up at fullback
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: and the next play he might line up at tight end,
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: and it kind of creates this confusion for defense and
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: adds an extra gap to the to the to the field,
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: and you know you can run play action keep a
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: guy in protection. So I say all that to say that,
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: you know, the position is really growing into a position
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: where you almost can carve out a role within the
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: offense that can be unique to yourself. And we're blessed
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: here in Seattle to have a really good position coach
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: and Mac Brown and have coach Flurry come in as well,
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: who has a lot of experience with tight ends. And
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: I think coach Mike as well is a guy that
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: you know, really values the tight end position. He knows
• 39:39
  Speaker 9: what that can do to a defense, how talented tight
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: ends play on the edge. And you know, we're we're
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: really just scratching the surface here, and we have high
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: expectations for the entire room this season.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Indeed, you do a J barner with this.
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: Let's stay there because I'm gonna I'm gonna share with
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: you the analysis that I that I give Dave about
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: you you and then you tell me your reaction to
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: my analysis.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: So what.
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: First of all, I say, hey, we got the tight
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: end for Michigan. Oh not not Colston Lovelin, the other guy.
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: We get him in the mid rounds Okay. So I'm like, okay,
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: all right, so let's see what he's got. And then
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: I said, watching him and really, when I saw him
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: in practice, I was standing eight feet behind him, I'm
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: talking about you. When I say him, I'm talking about
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: a J.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Barner.
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: I said, I had no idea to frame this guy,
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: the thin waiste, the development through. He just looks like
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: an athlete through and through. Like I played with a
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: Pro Bowl tight ends in my career. I got a
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: little bit of an eye on a tight end. I said,
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: you have no idea that I'll say, I had no
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: idea the athlete that was inside that mid round dude,
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: George Kittle was a fifth rounder for crying out loud,
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: and they right. And so I have opened my eyes
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: to how good you are and what you can become.
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: Is that a fair analysis? And are we just seeing
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: the very beginning of a J. Barner in a in
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: a star career.
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I really appreciate that, and I think you know,
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: I've definitely let that. Let's say affect me a little
• 41:07
  Speaker 9: bit in the past too, being a guy that got
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: drafted in the mid round and being a guy that
• 41:11
  Speaker 9: maybe wasn't the number one guy in college and you
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: kind of feel like, oh, shoot, maybe I'm not, you know,
• 41:17
  Speaker 9: one of the best. You know, But I think when
• 41:20
  Speaker 9: you boil it down to really putting your best foot
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: forward and doing your job over and over, and I
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: think that's where I'm really gonna take a step this
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: year is really dialing into my details, my process, and
• 41:34
  Speaker 9: you know, not be focused on necessarily the results that
• 41:37
  Speaker 9: come from it, but the process that goes into it
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: and everything that I want to come out of that
• 41:42
  Speaker 9: will we'll be able to come true. So I appreciate
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: the analysis for sure. I think this sky's the limit
• 41:49
  Speaker 9: and I think any guy that you know, has the
• 41:51
  Speaker 9: confidence to believe in himself in this league can really
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: do something special. And I think I'm really willing to
• 41:56
  Speaker 9: put in the work day in and day out because
• 41:59
  Speaker 9: I've said it before, I love this game of football. Unfortunately,
• 42:02
  Speaker 9: I really don't have any hobbies outside.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Of that, which said, what do you do when you
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: leave here?
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Bro's like watch film, you know, Like I mean,
• 42:11
  Speaker 9: I just I'm it's sometimes to a fault, Like I've
• 42:14
  Speaker 9: had the conversations with the Vets before where I need
• 42:16
  Speaker 9: to find a hobby outside of ball because sometimes the
• 42:19
  Speaker 9: days get long in the offseason, But when it comes
• 42:23
  Speaker 9: down to times like this in camp, it's like what
• 42:25
  Speaker 9: else would you rather be doing?
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm excited for the future.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Hey. J. Barner, a Super Bowl winning Seahawks tight end
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: with Dave Softyballer and Humel in a training camp yesterday
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: from the Seahawks. He didn't say it there, but a J.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Barner has said he thinks he's the best tight end
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: in the league. He thinks that he is an all
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Pro and all pro calory. Ask him what his goals are,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: he says, to make All Pro. He has a chance
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: to be. And I'm not comparing him in ability or
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: accomplishments for sure yet, but he has a chance to be.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks. George Kittle. George Kittle was the prize student
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: of Brian Flurry to see how offensive coordinator. For six
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: seven years Brian Flury was the tight ends coach. Well,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: it was actually about four of those seven years that
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: he was the tight ends coach. He was quality control
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: and other things. Before that, he was the tight ends
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: coach for George Kittle and San Francisco. It is the
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: same type of design offense of trying to use here.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: They're using tight ends in motion, a lot quick motions
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: right before the snap. They're motioning them off the wing
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: back into the backfit as a fullback. You heard him
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: talk about Brady Russell. Brady Russell's doing all kinds of work,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: is fullback and tight end right now because Robbie Yuts's season,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: if not career, is suddenly in jeopardy and the ominous
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: sounding of Mike McDonald earlier this week. AJ Barner on
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: the increased usage and rolls for the tight ends, it
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: looks like they're gonna be down the field in this
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: new offense under Brian Flurry, the tight ends coach last
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: year for the forty nine ers. Up next, we're going
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: to go to Los Angeles. My buddy farhar On Lolgy
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: of TSN Canada is making a swing of the California

• 45:04
  Speaker 2: How are you so?
• 45:07
  Speaker 11: I was excited to get to these camps. You know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 11: I'm even more excited to be back in Seattle next
• 45:11
  Speaker 11: week to hang out with you for at least one
• 45:13
  Speaker 11: day of Seahawks camp.
• 45:14
  Speaker 12: Then as well.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, I appreciate that. All right, let me just start
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: with you know.
• 45:17
  Speaker 11: The best part is there's no music right now, like
• 45:19
  Speaker 11: there's music in warm up. You know, some practices of
• 45:22
  Speaker 11: music's throat, yep. I always talked to Luke Wilson about
• 45:26
  Speaker 11: technical Thursday. You know, here the music has stopped one
• 45:30
  Speaker 11: swarm up and so I can talk to you in
• 45:31
  Speaker 11: a civilized man.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I don't have to yell what kind of music they
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: play a Chargers camp for.
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: Uh, it was all the old school stuff like no
• 45:41
  Speaker 11: current hip hop or anything like that, because you can't
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: imagine that Jim Harbo would want something like that, right.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: That's why I asked exactly. All right, let's go to
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the news first. You were at Rams camp yesterday up
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: the road there in Los Angeles, Woodland Hills, I believe,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: and Aaron Donald had a quote tryout, had to have
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: a tryout officially because he had a helmet on. Apparently,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: when's Aaron Donald coming? And I mean I'm reading it
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: as it's a done deal. He just is smart enough
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: not to show up in August, he'll wait till the
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: end of training camp, jump on a plane and go
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: to Australia. And here we go.
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I tend to think to say, you know, and
• 46:16
  Speaker 11: he's been around, and they're not at.
• 46:18
  Speaker 12: The regular facility.
• 46:19
  Speaker 11: They're in there at Loyola Marramount after the first part
• 46:22
  Speaker 11: of camp and at least for another few more days.
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: And so you know, that was the interesting part because
• 46:26
  Speaker 11: the last time we saw video of him it was
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: at their facility, and now he's here. You mentioned to
• 46:29
  Speaker 11: put on their helmet, and obviously the staff was involved
• 46:32
  Speaker 11: with forcing him out and he's just trying to get
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: up to speed. And Vena said that this is trending
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: in a positive direction. So I'm with you, right, Gus
• 46:38
  Speaker 11: thirty five years old. Now there is no need for
• 46:40
  Speaker 11: him to be in training camp, there is no need
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: for him to take part in the preseason.
• 46:44
  Speaker 12: And I'm sure he will get.
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: Out to regular practice over the next couple of weeks,
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: but it's all going to be modified and limited.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: You even look at Miles Garrett and here it's only thirty, right,
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: he looked at yesterday was his first day and he'd
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: then five He missed five days and then he practiced
• 47:00
  Speaker 11: in this one and even then he came out late and.
• 47:03
  Speaker 12: Probably took I want to.
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: Say, three to four reps during during eleven on eleven periods.
• 47:09
  Speaker 11: So the one thing with McVeigh is he probably manages
• 47:14
  Speaker 11: his roster more than anybody. And this is what happens
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: when you've got an older team. You know, he was
• 47:20
  Speaker 11: talking to our analyst David Sanchez. You used to play
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: it for the Chargers and like, the defense just crushed
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: the offense yesterday. Well, one of the reasons that happened
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: is is Matthew Stafford had a day off. He gets
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: every second day off in the training camp. DeVante Adams
• 47:32
  Speaker 11: had a maintenance day, right, So now you've got stets in,
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: Benett during the puk and Nakua and who else, right,
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: So no wonder the defense, even without Donald and primarily Garrett,
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: the defense still dominated.
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: But it kind of shows you what would happen.
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: If one of these key players got birds, right, So
• 47:47
  Speaker 11: they've got to manage it as carefully as possible to.
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: And I think the Australian trip will take a bit
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: of a toll because you know there's travel and time
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: zone and everything. Associated with that. It gets you out
• 47:55
  Speaker 11: of your routine. So you know, we'll see what impact
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: that has on that team. And you know, as I
• 47:59
  Speaker 11: got asked to analyze what Seattle Los Angeles Rams matchup
• 48:05
  Speaker 11: is going to look like, you're not going to know
• 48:07
  Speaker 11: because on Christmas Days, these two teams, especially the Rams,
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: should look entirely different.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, the Seahawks are counting on the Rams look entirely different.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: From December to August, foreign loaves joining us from California
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: in the NFL training camps down there on the Beacon
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Plumbing Hotline TSN and Canada. The NFL guy for TSN
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: and Canada. How much Maybe you aren't there long enough,
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: but how much are the Rams talking about the Seahawks?
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Is that or are they just above it all because
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: now they're the greatest team on it. They're like the
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Dream Team and they're the new Lebron James Miami Heat,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: and it's just they're above the Seahawks.
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: They're not talking about it. But I also don't think
• 48:45
  Speaker 11: anyone's asking about it. I think that question got posed.
• 48:48
  Speaker 11: I think they would they would address it, right, you know,
• 48:51
  Speaker 11: in reference to the whole super team conversation.
• 48:54
  Speaker 12: That's happening right.
• 48:55
  Speaker 11: McVay didn't run from that, and he said that it's
• 48:58
  Speaker 11: important for them to kind of stay connec didn't stay together,
• 49:01
  Speaker 11: and make sure they don't get too far ahead of themselves.
• 49:03
  Speaker 11: I did ask Miles Geary yesterday about that label, and
• 49:06
  Speaker 11: he didn't admit that it had been talked about in
• 49:08
  Speaker 11: even though that VID said he'd had.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: But he does.
• 49:10
  Speaker 11: He said, look, we need to earn our way just
• 49:11
  Speaker 11: to get to the opening game. So they're trying to
• 49:13
  Speaker 11: stay at present, you know, as much as possible. And
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: I think that super team talk is it's taken over right,
• 49:21
  Speaker 11: as opposed to talking specifically about can you beat the Seahawks.
• 49:25
  Speaker 11: These guys are favorites. There's going to be a lot
• 49:26
  Speaker 11: of pressure on them. They're built to win now, like
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: they had nothing out of their draft class, you know,
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: they just trade those things away like candy. It's all
• 49:33
  Speaker 11: about today, and so there is there's pressure that goes
• 49:36
  Speaker 11: to that, whether the Seahawks are in the division or not.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: You've you've been to Seahawks training camps, many of them
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: for years with me standing next to me on the
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: sidelines and rent and how different is a RAMS camp.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: How m they you mentioned he gives a lot of
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: veterans off, a lot of rel how different. Hello, I
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: think we still got you. Uh huh.
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: I want to try me back. I think I lost you, Greg.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Oh he lost us. We did not lose him. I'll
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: dial him back.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: What I'm about to ask him is to compare the
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Rams camp and how McVeigh runs it to how Mike
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: McDonald runs it four nine, four to five one. Anything
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: on the Cooma Dodge text line. Anything you want to
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: ask about the Rams and Rams Camp or forty nine ers.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Do that right now, and I'll ask Barhan when we
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: get him back on. But I was going to ask him, Hello, sir,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: we got you back, not yet, Okay, Elsegundo. You know
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: it's at the end of LAX's runways, so maybe it's
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: not so easy. They are near, I think at the
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: same area, if not right, at the same place the
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Raiders used to train when the Raiders. At times the
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Raiders used to train in Elsegundo, and then when they
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: moved back to Oakland, they were still training in El Segunda.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: They would commute. I think we have Farham back in Elsagundo,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: California Chargers camp out. Hello, sir, I was about to
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: ask you here. I was about to ask you of
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: all the years you've sat next stood next to me
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: on the sidelines and rent and watching Sea Arc practice,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: especially the last two with Mike McDonald. That's three. How
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: different is how Sean McVay runs it. You mentioned he
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: gives veterans the time off, But is there anything you
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: know or outstanding about just how RAMS camp is conducted?
• 51:04
  Speaker 11: Well, RAMS Camp is like laid back, It's entirely different.
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: They play at Loyola Marramount and which doesn't have a
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: football program, so they're on the soccer field and it's
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: quite removed from the stands. You know, there's a lot
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: of distance there, and after team practice is on a
• 51:18
  Speaker 11: separate field, like behind the bleachers, so it's not like
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: two field side by side where there's still that connection,
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: and approaches are kind of going back and forth, you know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 11: and it's it's also one of those pamps where like
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: guys aren't all out right, so that changes the energy.
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: Same with San Francisco, Like I was there the other
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: day and everybody was injured. Dallas, everybody was there, energy
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: was high, and they kind of set it up that
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: way in Dallas as well, like Jerry Jones wants fans,
• 51:40
  Speaker 11: he wants attention. He lets you, you know, film every
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: minute of the practice, right, so you know, in San
• 51:47
  Speaker 11: Francisco there's no there were some fans.
• 51:48
  Speaker 12: They're really far removed from everything that's going on.
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: So yeah, I would I would say that the rams
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: are are a little more low key than what you
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: see in Seattle, especially when the burm is full of Seattle,
• 51:58
  Speaker 11: because then the energy is really.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly And Mike McDonald he gives veteran rest days, but
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: usually one offs and not the hordes of guys. Letard
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Williams yesterday, thirty two years old, was dominating the next
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: to last period of a three hour practice yesterday, So yeah,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: they push it. Wow, Yeah it was I wrote about
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: it in the Newstribune. It was very interesting to see
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: a guy twelve years in the league pushing it at
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: the end of a three hour practice. Derek Hall.
• 52:21
  Speaker 11: I think one thing I like about the one thing
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: I like about McDonald is that I think he's fully
• 52:27
  Speaker 11: aware of the fact he's still new at this and yeah,
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: you won a super.
• 52:30
  Speaker 12: Bowl in your second year, But I don't think he
• 52:32
  Speaker 12: thinks that. For granted, I still think he feels he's.
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: Got another level to get to as a coach. He's
• 52:37
  Speaker 11: not concerned about trying new things and trying new ways
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: of messaging, and.
• 52:41
  Speaker 12: I think that's rare.
• 52:42
  Speaker 11: I think one of the things with McVeigh is people
• 52:44
  Speaker 11: talk about his emotional intelligence. It's exceptionally high, but I
• 52:48
  Speaker 11: you know, I also think that he's a little more
• 52:50
  Speaker 11: structured at how he does things. I think McDonald is
• 52:52
  Speaker 11: still evolving daily, you know, certainly yearly.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: That's a very interesting point. I agree with you on
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: McDonald's still evolving in the next level there to the
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers. In Kyle Shanahan's guys, let's updates, what's
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: the status as you hear about George Kittle and his
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: return from injury? Is Fred Warner full goo as in
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: eleven on eleven full go? And what are the returning
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers injury looking at well?
• 53:17
  Speaker 11: I think they had like twenty players out yesterday and
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: the assistant coach you talked about it afterwards, said that no, no,
• 53:23
  Speaker 11: we're fine. It's just bumps, some bruises and that's the
• 53:25
  Speaker 11: result of playing hard. And I think it's more than that.
• 53:27
  Speaker 11: And I also think that they're pretty gun shy. They've
• 53:29
  Speaker 11: had so many injuries for you know, for a couple
• 53:31
  Speaker 11: of years now, right, they are really really concerned. I
• 53:35
  Speaker 11: did see Warner get full eleven on eleven reps when
• 53:37
  Speaker 11: I was there at practice. You know, Mike Evans had
• 53:40
  Speaker 11: had a day off. I think he was dealing with
• 53:43
  Speaker 11: a quad issue. But already they lost for key pearsall
• 53:46
  Speaker 11: they you know, they initially I think when they signed
• 53:48
  Speaker 11: Deebo Samuel, the thought wasn't that he would have a
• 53:51
  Speaker 11: huge role, right, that he would be more of a
• 53:53
  Speaker 11: third receiver, rotational guy.
• 53:55
  Speaker 12: And they've committed to having him run back kicks. I
• 53:56
  Speaker 12: think very quickly he's going to get elevated into a
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: higher role.
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: You know, people talk about this team, Georgie, you asked
• 54:03
  Speaker 11: about George Kittle. They're hopeful but not certain that he'll
• 54:05
  Speaker 11: be ready for day one. So I wouldn't expect him
• 54:07
  Speaker 11: to be involved in much practice, you know, until the
• 54:10
  Speaker 11: late stages of training camp at all, he wasn't even
• 54:13
  Speaker 11: out there. And then you've got Shanahan himself, right, and
• 54:16
  Speaker 11: you know they expect him to be ready for the
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: opening game, but he's going to vary his level of
• 54:20
  Speaker 11: engagement through all of this, so I'm sure if you're
• 54:22
  Speaker 11: one of the assistants, you probably don't want to be
• 54:23
  Speaker 11: too aggressive with some of these guys that are banged
• 54:25
  Speaker 11: up because they head coach my kid angry at you.
• 54:28
  Speaker 11: The day I was there, he wasn't even out watching right,
• 54:30
  Speaker 11: whereas I think two days earlier he was standing next
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: to John Lynch outside, you know, kind of just observing,
• 54:36
  Speaker 11: not overly engaged in anything.
• 54:38
  Speaker 12: So I think the injuries there are real.
• 54:40
  Speaker 11: I don't know that because it's the substation, but you know,
• 54:43
  Speaker 11: people talk about this being a big three in the
• 54:46
  Speaker 11: NFC West. I don't see it. I just see a
• 54:48
  Speaker 11: big two.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Huhar Lowsy TSN Canada joining us. He's been to the
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: forty nine Ers camp, He's been to the Rams camp.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: He's been to Cowboys, Raiders not Raiders not yet, and
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Chargers vun This Australia trip coming out, they play the
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Niners and the Rams play each other September tenth in Australia.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: It's a fifteen to sixteen hour flight. The Rams correct
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. Are just going to fly in
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: almost a day before and fly right back out, hoping
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: that their bodies aren't affected. By the time and date
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: change and the forty nine ers are doing it differently
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: in a few days ahead of time. Was there much
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: How much is that dominating the camp preparing for that
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: one off trip to the other side of the world.
• 55:31
  Speaker 11: Well, I don't think it is now, but I do
• 55:32
  Speaker 11: think in the two weeks leading up to that game,
• 55:34
  Speaker 11: as we get into late August, I think they definitely
• 55:36
  Speaker 11: will start adjusting things in that regard, whether that's practice
• 55:39
  Speaker 11: time changes or things like that. And yeah, you're right,
• 55:42
  Speaker 11: the Niners have said they're going in a week early,
• 55:44
  Speaker 11: and the Rams McVeigh hasn't.
• 55:47
  Speaker 12: Said for sure what he's doing it. He said it'll
• 55:49
  Speaker 12: be similar.
• 55:50
  Speaker 11: To the last time they went overseas, which was they
• 55:52
  Speaker 11: got in thirty hours before kickoff. I think that's bizarre
• 55:55
  Speaker 11: when you've got the length of trip and the time
• 55:58
  Speaker 11: change associated with that kind of trip to Australia, you know,
• 56:02
  Speaker 11: with a sixteen hour trip, I think that's malpractice. I
• 56:05
  Speaker 11: think you are absolutely setting yourself up for injury. And
• 56:08
  Speaker 11: I understand that the game you know, will be played,
• 56:10
  Speaker 11: you know more along what you know. Our timelines aren't
• 56:13
  Speaker 11: here in North America, but it's still different and the
• 56:17
  Speaker 11: trip takes hims holl I think you know. I mean, look,
• 56:20
  Speaker 11: he's a smart guy who knows what he's doing. He's
• 56:21
  Speaker 11: won a Super Bowl, and you know, he's one of
• 56:23
  Speaker 11: the most successful coaches in the league. But I don't
• 56:26
  Speaker 11: know how this works with a trip like that. I
• 56:28
  Speaker 11: think you're setting yourself up for a level of failure
• 56:31
  Speaker 11: if you go in thirty hours before following a sixteen.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Hour trip, right. The theory on that. There are theories
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: in science that says if you go in very late.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: People have done it to London, where if you go
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: in the day before, your body doesn't body adjustment or anything.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: But it's a different deal.
• 56:48
  Speaker 12: In rams camp.
• 56:48
  Speaker 11: I wonder if it's an FBI agent overhead just shutting
• 56:51
  Speaker 11: everything off after ships and off.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Fine, can't hear me, but I can hear him musing
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: about FBI ag This way, you can hear me, Jim Harve,
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: I can hear you. Hello, Yeah, we'll try to get
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: far Hun back for one more or two questions before
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: we have to break. But yeah, there is a science
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: that says in NFL teams and other teams have studied
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: other sports that for it. Overseas a international trip, you
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: fly in as late as possible, perhaps the night or
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: day before the Raiders when they played the Seahawks did
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: this in London in twenty eighteen because the bodies, you
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: don't have time, you're not there long enough to adjust
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: before the game, and you just treat it and wake
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: the schedules up like their home. But sixteen hours of flight,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: it's a little hard to just drop in, get off
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: the plane, check in the hotel, and play the game
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: the next day on a sixteen hour flight. So far
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: in Lawsy back at Raiders old Raiders facility in Elsa Gundo,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: it's the Chargers now. I was asking about the science.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: I was talking about the science of the trips and whatnot.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: But all right, what else? Pope pur questioned, what we
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: have you for a few more minutes about whether it's
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Cowboys camp or Chargers camp. You're seeing now? What has
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: stood out to you? What are you going to remember
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: when you go talk to your son and your daughter
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: and your wife about this trip.
• 58:04
  Speaker 11: Football, Well, they're not going to be remotely interested. My
• 58:08
  Speaker 11: quarterback playing Sons is not going to be remotely And
• 58:10
  Speaker 11: he said, I love watching I love watching Lad McConkey
• 58:13
  Speaker 11: out here because this guy is like he's there's just
• 58:16
  Speaker 11: so much energy in his game. Uh, the way he
• 58:19
  Speaker 11: bounces around. And when I look at players and how
• 58:22
  Speaker 11: they how they're going to measure with their head coaches
• 58:23
  Speaker 11: or their coordinators, Mike McDaniel and Ladd McConkey, I think
• 58:27
  Speaker 11: are going to be perfect together because.
• 58:29
  Speaker 12: They seem so much alike.
• 58:30
  Speaker 11: And you know, in the early stages of McDaniel's time
• 58:32
  Speaker 11: with the Dolphins, when you know everything was going well
• 58:35
  Speaker 11: and you'd see him and just how he was dressed.
• 58:37
  Speaker 12: And walking around.
• 58:38
  Speaker 11: I think one of the ESPN guys at one point said,
• 58:40
  Speaker 11: this guy looks like a kid whose parents have gone
• 58:43
  Speaker 11: away for the weekend and he's got the house to himself,
• 58:45
  Speaker 11: and so there's a pool there, there's going to be
• 58:47
  Speaker 11: a party, and you know, he's liked that with me
• 58:49
  Speaker 11: on me on green shoes right now, and he's bouncing
• 58:51
  Speaker 11: around and he's kind of acting the same way, and
• 58:53
  Speaker 11: there's just such a fit there.
• 58:54
  Speaker 12: And every time McConkie.
• 58:56
  Speaker 11: Like dives to make catches plays to the crowd, and
• 58:58
  Speaker 11: I think McDaniel is on the on that. So you know,
• 59:01
  Speaker 11: I enjoyed players that are coaches that still try to
• 59:04
  Speaker 11: bring that out in players and McDaniel and Harbaugh even
• 59:06
  Speaker 11: the way they conduct themselves in the field so different.
• 59:09
  Speaker 11: You know, Harbor kind of looks like the old from Mudgeon.
• 59:10
  Speaker 11: He's kind of limping around here a little bit. But
• 59:12
  Speaker 11: McDaniel's just got that bounce in the steps. So I'm
• 59:15
  Speaker 11: enjoying that. You know, Justin Herbert Man does he throw
• 59:18
  Speaker 11: a pretty ball, Like when you know, you go here
• 59:20
  Speaker 11: and you see Dak and you see Party. You come
• 59:22
  Speaker 11: out here and you see Justin Herbert and and there's
• 59:25
  Speaker 11: just a different way this guy throws the football.
• 59:27
  Speaker 12: And you'll wonder if, like when he's got every tool
• 59:30
  Speaker 12: that he always leaves you want them.
• 59:32
  Speaker 11: And I know a lot of that has been the
• 59:33
  Speaker 11: team and even last year the injuries around the Rams.
• 59:35
  Speaker 12: Can he finally live up to it? You know?
• 59:39
  Speaker 11: For me, the Cowboys camp I really enjoyed primarily because
• 59:42
  Speaker 11: there was no drama. It almost made Jerry Jones nervous.
• 59:45
  Speaker 11: You know, there was a there was a there was
• 59:47
  Speaker 11: a senator the other day that said that your current
• 59:50
  Speaker 11: president gets a little anxious when he has an unexpressed thought.
• 59:54
  Speaker 11: I think that's Jerry Jones as well, right, And so
• 59:57
  Speaker 11: you know he wants attention, he wants it to happen.
• 59:59
  Speaker 11: And every camp I'm covered with the Cowboys, there's always
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 11: been Zach Martin holding out, Dak Preshcott contract issues, see
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 11: land contract issues.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: My comparisons. Are you going to get traded?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 11: There's none of that analys right, So I think that
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 11: was that was kind of a weird vibe at their camp.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 12: You know, energy was good. But you know, I I
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 12: look at how teams.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 11: Kind of interact and get along and what the vibe
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 11: checks are, Like, I know, everything we do is so
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 11: much about analytics, and I just you know, I look
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: at how some.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 12: Of these these groups work together.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: And just what you know, you try to get chemistry
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: cues as much as possible. And I you know, I
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 11: think the Chargers this could be the time they finally
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 11: actually make a legitimate push, right. I mean, you know,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: we know what the Broncos are going to do in
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: that division with Kansas City, so but I think the Chargers,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 11: I think they for real are going to be able
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 11: to contend in that division the way things look right now.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 12: And you know, I'll.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 11: Tell you this, the hard knocks I just saw clips
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 11: and because I didn't see this as much when I
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 11: was there last week with you and Jenarian Price was behind,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 11: you know, George Halani and and we knew they were
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 11: kind of bringing him along slowly. Watching the way he
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 11: runs and that.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 12: Stuff off the Hard Knocks video, I got excited watching.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 11: That's gonna be exciting when we get back there on
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 11: Wednesday and see what this guy does.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 12: Because if he.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 11: Runs like that, and he saw a bit of that
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 11: with Tired Williams yesterday with the Rams and with the Rams,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: you know, he's always been this kind of complete player,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 11: that complete good out of the backfield, good, you know,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 11: at running back. But this offseason he decided that he
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 11: wanted to not do any receiver drums. He wants to
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 11: be completely low to the ground on every cut and
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 11: the explosive And it showed in the way he was practicing,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 11: in the balance he had, in the acceleration he had.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 11: And I saw that in Generium Prices caught some that
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 11: Hard Knocks clip that was posted by the NFL. I'm like,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 11: I got excited to see that. If he can run
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 11: like that for real, we're not going to be talking
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 11: about Kenni Walker in Seattle.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: They he's made a move. Since you were a training
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: camp last week. For sure. He's much more in the
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: starters than he had been. Well, and I'll see you
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: next week. I appreciate you joining us. I know you're
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: in the middle of covering of camp and I know
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: how that can go. So thanks a lot, joy the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: trip back. I'll see you when you get back. Thank you.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Farhun lawsy tsn Canada a good friend of mine. I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: know his family. No, his son is trying to break
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: into college football right now, ending his high school timing.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: He's on the recruiting trail, but he's been all over
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: the camps. The takeaway from that, as he said, everyone's
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: talking about a big three in the NFC West. He says,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: I don't see it. He said, the forty nine ers
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: are just broken. Dude's hurt all over the place.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: You hate to hear it.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: He also said the Rams, Yeah, he Aaron Donald's sign
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: and it's just he's not going to sign in training camp.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: He's gonna wait till the end of August. If you
• 1:02:36

• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: Man, Oh, We've got a lot of really good talk
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: There's another one, one of these. We've had some subjects
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: that have hit up the text line and this one
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: sure did. Jimsy and the Mariners next on the text
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: Line on ninety three point three and the Talkbacks on
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 13: There should be a marketing class at the University of
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 13: Washington on the Seattle Mariners. How they get away with
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 13: putting a terrible product on the field but still able
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 13: to fill seats. I don't attend games anymore because of
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 13: the fan base that I sit next to. They're more
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 13: interested in a fish running around the track or a
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 13: stupid ferry boat full of crappy French Fries. No, thank you,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 13: this team sucks.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: I will say.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 14: The Jimythee thing extremely irritating for someone like me, so
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 14: totally understand what you're saying, Greg, but it's kind of like,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 14: it is what it is, and if it puts thirty
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 14: five butts in the seats, it also probably will make
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 14: the team play better because.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: The yard is full.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 14: So bring on, Jimothy Knight sixteen.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: I get that, and it's true. The bottom line is
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: putting butts in seats, and that's a business. It's not
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: a charity. I get it for sure. And there's truth
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: to a better environment might help the team if the
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: place is packed, however they pack them in and whatever
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: the reason is, yes, and so that's a good point.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: That's a good nuanced point of this. I still stand
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: by them. Don't don't give me, Jimothy, give me the
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: playoffs in the World Series, but I understand. And there's
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: also in the text line the thought of they got
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: to get some fan in enjoyment and interaction out of
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: this whole season, and if this is what gets fans
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: fired up and adjustments points happy, Okay, oh yeah, but
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just a baseball guy looking at from a baseball
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: fans perspective.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: Like enough, exactly, And there's the family environment too. I
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: think the Mariners have done a really good job large trading. Yeah,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: so it's a fun experience. Obviously we all want them
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: to win. We want that experience. But if it's a
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: family night like we had mentioned fireworks earlier, I just
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: I have a special heart, like a place in my
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: heart for baseball.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: Because my dad is football coach.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: He would only have like a month of like in
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: between June and July off completely outside of recruiting and
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: doing everything else that he was doing. And that was
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: the game that we watched. So it was a family
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: sport for me. And obviously we want them to win.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: And I've learned a lot more about baseball since the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: eighty six ments, which I don't remember. But yeah, I
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: get I guess I get both sides.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: I'm the worst.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: I have my opinions always teeter on the opinions of
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: other people because I get it. We do have some
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: creativity coming in.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 7: Watching the Manners this season remind me of the old
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 7: classic song.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: Why do you build me up, Bud Cup? Just to
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: let me down?
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: And worst of.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: All, you love a win when you say you will. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: That sums up the whole season thus far.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: Ps Hey there, greg and Jessman Chris E.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: Brien.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Gregor's spot on Last Night was a complete reminder that
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: this Mariners franchise.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: Believes more in a complete support of an a Forum
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: Raccoon then going.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: For winning the division. I suggest the Mariner's circus of
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. This temeter, watch your problem, Greg Brown,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: aren't carrying.
• 1:07:00

• 1:07:10
  Speaker 10: Theirs pretty good?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Sugar not earth.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: I want funky apple. We're Briton. Thank you Jimmothy for
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: checking in.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: He talked, but that is what I would picture him
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: sounding like. Though that was pretty good. I think it
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: it met.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: I get it's supposed to be fun. I do get that,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: but I just frustration.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: Well we should also look into this.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: By the way, for those who are really not liking
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 5: the Mariners, if you want to go to the game
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: in just an hour and a half, I have a
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: special surprise.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: Today's game ticket you want to go, listen up.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: One ten first pitch. Uh. You are basically just text
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: in Jimothy your first and last name in your email
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: and you have to be able to go, and you
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: can't resell the tickets.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: But I do have a pair that was gifted just now.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: First last name, and the word Jimothy spelled correctly into
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 5: four nine four or five to one. And I've got
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: a pair of tickets for you if you just have
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 5: the afternoon off. Maybe there's teachers out there who are
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 5: hanging out with their summer days and want to get
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: out of the house and enjoy a day game and
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: get home early in time for dinner. Two tickets they're
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: up for grabs. Jimithy first last name, and email address.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: Not Jimothy's first and last name. I think he only
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: has one.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: No, your first and last name. He is just He's Madonna.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: He is Beyonce.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, please if you can go. Don't be one
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: of those SMOs who wants to do this and then
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: tries to sell his tickets because he's not trying to go. No,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: we're trying to give this to someone who actually wants
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: to attend the game. It starts at one to ten
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: pm today. It might be worth seeing in person because
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: fram Er Valdez is starting a night after the bench
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: is cleared with two beanballs, and there is already a
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: history of Framber Valles this team and with the league.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Remember they Valdez didn't like what Josh David was up
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: to in Detroit earlier this season. There could be some
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: fireworks at the yard today and not in the day,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: but I had nothing to do with nighttime fires in
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: the sky. If Framber Valdez pitching one ten pm against
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Bryce Miller, if you want to go text four nine
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: four five one coming out to text line spelling Jimothy's
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: name correctly, I shudder that that's the contest. But I
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: understand I did it.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: To Irk you.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Thanks, thanks for Irk, Yeah, you're welcome.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: I was putting a b in your.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Bonnet also on the text line. Besides that, Marcus is
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: a friend of ours. Two six, So bet the Rams
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: because the Niners will be favored. Then in Australia, I'm
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: assuming well, sounds like far Hunt saying no, the Niners
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: are just a wreck. If you'd missed Niners Rams camp
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: that far Hunt has been to Farhan said. Everyone's talking
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: about a big three in the division. I only see
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: big two, he said, twenty forty nine ers plus their
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: head coach, wasn't it warn or not? At practice the
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: other day in Santa Clara two six. Jimothy is alive
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: and that's the important thing. However, I agree enough Mariners.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: So try this excuse. What would be your favorite Mariners
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: World Series matchup? Myself? Cubs Wrigley October. Come on, have
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: the debate of which one hundred and sixteen win team
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: was better.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's a whole thing, because those guys are all
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: coming back this week.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: There are that would be a timely debate. Or Giant
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: San Francisco, which stadium is better? T Mobile Park or
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: whatever they called you used to be packed Bell Park?
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: Go Army beat Navy? Has some reason I read this text,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: go Army beating Navy. Stephen janc Ol, Thank you Steven. Jimmisy.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: The two six Jimothy is the result of our complicit
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: fan base. The same reason we have Jimothy is the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: same reason Dan is somehow still the manager. The owners
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: are more interested in the gate than championships.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: I mean they have to be interested in both, they
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: really do.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Two five, three. The ownership cares only about making money,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: not winning a title. Three six. Oh, I think the
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Mariners do gimmicks with some of the best in baseball.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: Yearly they put a five hundred baseball team on the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: field and get butts in the seats anyway with giveaways. Oh,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: I would just reset.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean we're getting a lot of texts
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: right now, so that will you can hit the little
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: pause button. But I also think that there's the excitement
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: that we saw last year that fed over into butts
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: and seats for this season. There was a lot of
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: success on the field last year. It's that they do
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 5: a very very good job in marketing and business and
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: they make it fun, like we were talking about for
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: families and you know, people who want bobble heads, that
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 5: is a fun thing. For incidence, my cousin came up
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 5: from Austin, Texas a month ago, month and a half ago,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: and her husband was insanely obsessed with getting there on
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 5: time to get the Funko cal Rawley.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: They're from Texas and it's.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: Just fun for people, and so they came two and
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: a half hours early did the game to make sure
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 5: that they got because there was only ten thousand of
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: them that got given out.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: And I get it. And here's another thing. In Seattle
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: in the summer, there are a ton of tourists, a
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: lot of them on overnights that are going to Alaska
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: on cruises and they need something to do for a
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: summer night and they go to the yard. It's seventy
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: five degrees in a beautiful setting. And I get all
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: of that, but that should not take the place of
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: the fact that this is a baseball team that has
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: never been to the World Series and is eight outs
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: away from the World Series and it's maddening. The most
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: frustrating season in history.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: I'm with you, man, I hear you.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 5: This is why I suck at this because I hear
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 5: both sides way too much.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: I should never be a judge.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: But as a business model, where is the motivation for
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: the Mariners ownership to invest more in the team when
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: they're putting forty one thousand in with Jimothy Knight. If
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: they're putting forty one thousand in for jimdy Night and
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: forty two thousand for hot Dogs from Heaven and bobbleheads
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: and fireworks, what is the business motiv is a business enterprise?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: What is the business motivation when they're in the top ten,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: top fifteen in revenue in the Major League Baseball but
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the pack in spending on their
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: player payroll? What is the motivation for increasing the payroll?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: There's none, and that's where they are right now.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 5: They're not in this because they're still making money as
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: a business enterprise.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: They're succeeding. They're keeping their costs relatively low in player
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: payroll while they're making revenue, and they're drawing thirty seven
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: thousand a night, So the motivation is lower for them
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: to get to the step that all the baseball fans
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: want them to do, which is get to the freaking
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: World Series. That's the rub here. As a business enterprise,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: you can are and they've got It's not John Stanton,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: if there's twenty plus investors that they have to answer
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: to and they're all happy. As a business enterprise, they
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: loved that forty two thousand Jimithy fans are in the
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: stands up night. They honestly from a business standpoint. Honestly,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: from a business standpoint, Jesamen, it didn't matter whether the
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: Marriors won or lost last night. They'd already won at
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: the gate and the twenty dollars beers and the fifteen
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: dollars hot dogs and the fifty dollars parking spots. They won.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: And that's the problem that those of us that want
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: them to see a baseball team finally make the World
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Series with a roster and a pitching staff that should
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: already be there are beside themselves of this season. How
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: this team could be four games under five hundred against
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: this absolutely future division, yet they're still drawing forty one
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: thousand on a Wednesday night in August. Because as as
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: that's the whole problem, they're not motivated to make the
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: team a World Series team in quality and spending on
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: contracts and making them moves because there is a business
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: enterprise they're succeeding. That's my pulpit, that's my soapbar.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: I think it's a good pulpit, man, I hear you.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: I think jimmythy Keith says two fight three. I think
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Jimmothy is a perfect Marri Aroner correlation. This team is
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: short on spine and tiptoes around, happy with collecting garbage.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, that was a really good analogy there.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I mean, this is just the Timothy thing is
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: a tipping point. It's to me emblematic of the bigger
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: issue here that they're succeeding as a business and failing
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: as a baseball enterprise. And what should their accent be
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: more on is to me, the baseball But as businessmen,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: they're winning as baseball team. They're losing and Finas is
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: up next. Maybe I'll ask him about Jimothy on ninety
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: three point three kJ RFM. So McIntyre, now it's Ian Fanas,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: welcome back. We have a winner on our Mariner ticket
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: giveaway for this Afternoons one ten game in the series
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: finale against the Tigers.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: Christian Bonds. Congratulations and thank you for.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: Barrie's brother, James's brother, James Bond and Bond.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, he definitely likes it shaking shaking reference. Yes,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 5: So congratulations and thank you for listening. And I hope
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: that you and whoever you take have a wonderful time
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 5: out there in the sunshine today.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: You won't see Jimothy, Sorry, sorry, Christian. You won't see
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson either. He's been suspended as i'd rather see.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get Jimmy in this second, sir. It's my
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: new favorite topic. Dan Wilson's been suspended my Major League Baseball,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: as has Gabe Spire for quote intentionally throwing at Tiger's
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: gliber Torres last night, and as Ian for and has
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: pointed out to be as obvious that cal Rawley called
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: for that. Good for him, but now it's a game
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: suspension that Wilson will serve today. Gabe Spier is going
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: to appeal the suspension of Major League Baseball, so he
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: actually will be available today. But as we know, can't
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: pitch two in a row and the Mariners bullpen without
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: a written note from I don't know who, special dispensation,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: so gave Spier is not going to play, all right.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: I went on and on to the break of dawn
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: about Jimothy. When I saw that last night, I about
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. I'm just like, can we just
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: please get a World Series. I don't need anything else
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: but a World Series with this roster and this pitching stuff.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: That's because you're a sports fan. They're not marketing Jimothy
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: to the sports fan. It's you know, Andrews and I
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: had a brief conversation about this in the in the
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: sports pit a minute ago. The you know, the two
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: separate entities, the baseball operations and in the marketing business side.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: They operate obviously, as you know, we all know very
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: much separately.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: But.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: We kind of lump them all together. Their job is
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: the cell tickets, and boy they did last night for
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: a Wednesday night game, you know.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: Two thousand in the middle of a week night in
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: August because it for to sub five hundred?
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: Was it so you could get the gym? Is it
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: a shirt? When they give away yesterday?
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 5: The shirts were a special ticket. I think those were
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 5: for a certain.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: Ticket holders they gave away like it.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: Was like an old car that they spent like they
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: spent twenty They spent a way too much time talking
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: about that on the broadcast on Tuesday.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: So they're going to do it again Friday night. I
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: just learned. That's weird because that's unbelievable. I get to
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: do this Monday.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 5: You don't need to do that for a Friday night game.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: A Wednesday night, I could see.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Well, what's weird about that is that it's they don't
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't think that they would need to. It's the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: weekend of.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: Right, they're doing the home run.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Why would they need it? Why would they need on Friday?
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: So it'll be it'll be forty seven thousand.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: But I'll just say I don't begrudge them for that stuff.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: I just and they they're great. Their mariders are great.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, Kevin and those guys are great. It's like
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: capturing the moment, you know, seizing that moment, and here's
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. And you know, selling out a
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: game on a Wednesday because they're giving away cards for
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: a deformed raccoon, which do we even know if Jimothy
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: is still alive?
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: I believe so.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 5: But everyone here and you know, Nature Nerd and me,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 5: they are respectful. People out here are respectful and everyone
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 5: all of the nature conservancies have come out and said,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: just respect Jimothy from a distance because.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Listen, man, I drive I drive by ten dead raccoons
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: a week on Highway one sixty nine. Okay, respect it.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: It's a large it's a large rat with a with
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: a with a couple of black.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: Spots, pandas, oh god whatever.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: Anyway, will this still be a thing in September when
