• 2:03
  Speaker 1: but since he had been on with the morning show,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald has spoke, so we'll get his his input

  Speaker 1: whatever last kind of scheduled time we'll hear from them
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: until like right around the draft, which is the end
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of April. So we'll find out what's being said back
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: there more than anything, just kind of get the pulse
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of what's happening. It's you know, the combine is an
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: interesting time because everyone's there, and you know, every league
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: does things differently, but with the the NFL combine more
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: so than the NHL has a combine. The NBA has
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a combine, but the combine for the NFL is truly
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: kind of the gathering of everybody. They go to Indianapolis,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: They go to sant Elmlos Steakhouse, and agents are there,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: players to be, college guys are there, but more importantly,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: all the GMS and a lot of the coaches on
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: all the coaches are there, and so we'll kind of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: find out what Greg's hearing boots on the ground from
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone around there in terms of what ken
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Walker's value is. What the Seahawks are thinking with job
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and wol in the two corners, it probably keep one,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: not both? Or are they gonna do with Kobe Bryant,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: boy Mafey. Is there some rumor you guys help me
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: out here. Is there some rumor out there that that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence may retire?
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I don't know where that came from, But where did
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: that come from?
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: I've been seeing the same stuff like, oh, the Seahawks
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: make need to make sure they bring DeMarcus Lawrence back.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: I thought that was a foregone He's not a free agent.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He's got no I'm left on his contract. I you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: won a super Bowl. I see going out on top
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in a sense, but I also see the potential to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do something that teams don't do, and that's repeat yes, right, So.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I will tell you talking to him in the locker
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: room after the Super Bowl went yeah, you did not
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: look like.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: A man or sound like one that is going anywhere.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I just have to be careful. And these were in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the world we live in right now. But like stuff
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: gets tossed out there and and we just take it
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: for for you know, for granted that it's that's truth,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: because it's somewhere on social media, I think. I mean,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: if we're ranking the worst places in terms of information,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Facebook slash Instagram are one and one A and and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I say that we use Instagram not for news.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: We use it to promote, like a case content, Yeah, uh, it's.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Not a news source for us. But you see stuff
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: there those two places. Case in point, there was a
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: rumor that the Seahawks had declined an invitation to go
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to the White House, and you know that apparently that
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: hasn't been the case. I don't even know if the invitations.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Even come yet or no, said today, right, yeah, so
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but then all these people are good. That's great, all right,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know that, you know, screw the Orange Man and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: all those things, and and and they're like, well, wait
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a second, do we know that that's true. Well, it's not,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you know, and especially with the climate we live in today,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: especially with what's happened the last few days with the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: US men's hockey team and I'll be good. The FBI director,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: My god, can you look less like a director? Can
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you look like less of a director of the FBI?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a deason, sorry to be honest,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Like he looked like a comedian doing that, did he not?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It just looked like someone who is in show business.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's just terrifying that that is who's protecting our
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: country sort of maybe kind of anyway, we hear these
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: things that they just get phone out there. So like
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I heard the DeMarcus Lawrence Roomer, I'm like, what, like,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: what what are we talking about? Anyway, so we'll get
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to all that with Greg. Maybe it is true. I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: don't know. We'll find out what Greg can maybe tell hey, Ian,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you're full that you should be following stuff more carefully,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I try to. But anyway, anyway, we'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: get to that. Jess Anders and I stumbled across something
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: yesterday and I want to bring this up just a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: kind of a fun different like real actual wait for it,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: not like you take a side, I take a side
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and we yell each other topic, but no, an actual
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: kind of fun topic. So the three on three over
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: time we had ed Zoe on yesterday, Jess.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: He was awesome.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: If people missed it, its podcast up there, the old
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: check was on, of course. Yeah. He was also on
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the call for NBC on the gold medal game and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: throughout the Olympics. Did just a great job with Kenny
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Albert and edgel came on.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: He's kind of up.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, poor guy was half asleep. I mean he's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: on just messed up time wise right now. But he's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: kind of have to come on with us. And we're
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: talking about the three on three deciding the gold medal
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: game for both the men and women. By the way,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just the men. And you know, and you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: know there's when you lose, there's gonna be well, we
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: shouldn't do it three on three? Right, Oh okay, yeah, right,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and I listen, I understand it. You know, nothing's perfect
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in this world. And you know, the Olympics are four
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: years away, maybe they'll come to a different conclusion. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: kind of doubt it for the early games, just for
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the reason that is pretty its logistics. Yeah, you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you can't. You're playing a round robin tournament with these
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: all star games and you're trying to fit them in
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a window in you know probably two arenas, Max, It's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that's what you do. You've got to finish the game off.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But we kind of came up with, like where you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: what overtimes do fans like? Which overtimes need to be fixed?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And so I'll throw that out there today and we'll
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: get kind of knee deep into this in the two
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour, just kind of have some fun with it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I jotted down, like, you know, NFL, Major League Baseball,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: at NHL, NBA, college basketball are the same college football,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: which overtimes work, which ones don't, which ones need fixing?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And I ask you because I think the fan is
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the one that should determine this. A lot of times
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: college football changed it's overtime years ago, but a lot
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of things with college football that have changed outside of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the NIL have to do with fan experience. It's the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: one thing that college football actually has done right is
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in some ways college football the NC double A. Again
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it's hard to say does right. They listened to the fans,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and fans were saying, hey, and maybe even TV networks
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: games are too long. You know, just when you first
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: started working sidelines at Wazoo, it wasn't out of the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, it was kind of the norm
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to have four plus hours.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I was prepared for four or more, and especially in
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: a obviously like throwing offense.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Right, That's why I stop constantly.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, because the clock stopped after every
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: first down in the entire game.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And every incompletion.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, incompletions are still always going to stop in football,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: which is fine that they should, but like you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: college was different.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: The NFL.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Every every first down clock stopped. Reset the clock, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it took a while. They've sped up that process. They've changed,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and they listened to the networks. I think they listen
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to fans as well, and you know, but but for
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the most part, I think the fans matter. Like do
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: people like Major League Baseball's Ghost Runner? Yes? Or no?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Do you like the NFL, which has tweaked its rules
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: now where both teams get an opportunity to score and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: if both do then it goes to sudden death overtime.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I think the NFL is the easiest one to fix.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'll get to that two o'clock. I think there's a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: there's just an easy, easy, easy fix in the NFL,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and and then no one would be able to complain
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and we're done and we move on. But we'll get
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to that at you know, at two o'clock. The NHL
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: is the one kind of on top of mind because
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it's very similar to what we sign the Olympics. The
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: NFL has gone to three on three overtime.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Five minutes for the regular season for the regular.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Season, and then go to a shootout. Obviously in the playoffs,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: no three on three, no shootout. It's you just play
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: until you die or score, simple as and but you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: can do that in the in the postseason. I personally
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: hate the shootout. I think it's the dumbest thing on
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the planet I do in in sports.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: They do it in soccer too, and I hate it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I just it's ridiculous. The penalty kicks might even be worse. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: because it's you know, in the NHL, if a guy
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: makes thirty percent of his shootout attempts, he's great. In soccer,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: unless you're hitting eighty five percent plus of your pks,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you're not good. So but I basically to decide things
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on a skills challenge is ridiculous. It's idiotic to me.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: If nobody scores, it's a tie, you move on. It's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: as simple as yeah, right, nobody gets two points, both
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: teams get one.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: In a way you go.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But I want to know from you guys, four nine
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: four five one. That's t Comma Dodge text line four
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: nine four five one. What overtimes work? Which ones do
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you like? Which ones need to be tweaked? More importantly?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: How or maybe this which overtimes you absolutely hate and despise?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: What's up a little fun? We'll just talk this is crazy,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: just kind of little fun sports talk today, little little
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: little little deep breath. Let's talk about just something on
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the I just I was hesitant to do this today.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Everyone's upset in this world. We're all mad. Everyone's pissed off.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I get it, you know, find something. We all have
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to find something to be mad. Let's just we don't
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: have to be mad about overtimes. Let's just talk about overtimes.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Let's so we do on this station. We talk about sports.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: So we'll do that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Because I want your thoughts to Coma Dots text line
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: four nine four or five one or.
• 11:03

• 11:08
  Speaker 1: talk back line. Load to the red microphone on the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app ninety three point three KJRFM. Most of you
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: have probably downloaded the free iHeartRadio app by now you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: should preset us to number one. You go to the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: red microphone, you speak for thirty seconds or last. We
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: hear your voice, we put it on the air. It's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: as simple as that for all of you out in
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the crowd that says you guys don't take phone calls anymore? Correct,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: until we get to fantasy football, we don't. But we
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: have the same ability to hear your voice. We just
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: want to be able to screen it a little bit more.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That's all right.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: We can get a nice little compact boom.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Through, could shorten it and get more people in.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, more voices is the number one?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So we'll just do that. So get your
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: give me thoughts there as well. We'll do all that

• 13:22
  Speaker 1: First of all, are you okay?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Everything good? I heard?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I heard sometimes people find trouble in Indianapolis. Are we
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: okay there? I mean good with the break bella trip
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: so far?
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: No, it was probably my twentieth one of these. I'm
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: kind of a vetro to stay out of trouble. I
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: know where to avoid trouble. I guess when I'm here.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Is that saying I'm not there? I'm not traveling with
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you anymore? So it's a little easier to stay out
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: of trouble.
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: Is that you're saying, well, that's an inferred Yes, that's
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: an inferred statement of fact that you said it, not me,
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: But that is that is correct. They're a lot more
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: is there earlier nights than there used to be.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just thinking back to the Larry Stone Farewell in Baltimore.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: That was a that was a late night, that was
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a rough next day, you.
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: Know, one, that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Was definitely one.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the news I got. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: got a long list of grievances here. No, actually a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: long list of things to ask you. Mike McDonalds spoke today,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: but we'll get to him in a second. Let me
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and jump in. I want to first address this. I
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier. God, you know this year in the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: news business. You're a journalist who worked for a print,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you know, a steam print institution in the Tacoma News Tribune.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And we live in a world now where there's I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: hate the term fake news, but there's stuff that gets
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: thrown out there and people take it as fact. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: never know what to believe half the time until I
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: see where it actually comes from. There's like this rumor
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: rumblings or something about DeMarcus Lawrence retiring. Is that really
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a thing? Did we lose Greg?
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Possibly?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Let me just checked hang on. Such a good setup
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: for a question, it really was.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I think he was. I thought he was held in suspense.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: We got him back, Okay, Greg, DeMarcus Lawrence, is he
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: thinking about retiring or is he coming back?
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: Mike McDonald told me he didn't. He haven't heard anything
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: other than Lawrence telling him he's going to come back.
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: But he also told me a couple hours ago that
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: you know how this is get into a twelve thirteenth
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: heier thirty four years old, that things can change now
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: coming off of a super Bowl championship, something DeMarcus Lawrence
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: has never had before played twelve years before you got
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: to the super Bowl, it wouldn't be a complete shock
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: for him to walk away under these circumstances. But as
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: of a couple hours ago, Mike donald said he was
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: under the impression that Lawrence, Jaron Reid, all of them
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: were going to run it back, and that was what
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: he was told on the exit interviews.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Anyway, well, I mean it's a chance to go back
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to back. Is something special too, I can so we
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: can understand that. Let me set up the rest of
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: it before we talked about Schneider McDonald and everything that's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: been saying and all the storylines of free agency, give people,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: like all joking aside, give people kind of a feel. Listen,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the combine is where some guys will work out and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: run big forties and jump high and run fast and
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: bench press a lot and have great in person interviews,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: great podium interviews with media. It's for the college kids.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: But there's so much more to the combine than that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And I think that's why you guys are there. You guys,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you and the rest of the beat guys because a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you talked to McDonald and Schneider, but be kind of
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground. This is an opportunity. Every agent's there,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: GM's are there, most not all coaches are there. Kind
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of paint the picture of why this week is important
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: in terms of what gets done behind the scenes.
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: Well, not only is John Schneider a general manager here,
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: but all of his contract staff and all of his
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: analysts and all of the people who set the contract
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: values for how the Siahawks want to slot players pay
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: for twenty twenty six under the salary. Yet they're all
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: here too. And Schneider was pretty open talking to us
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: yesterday about I'm not even here for the college guys
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: this year, in particular because of the high profile Pro Bowl,
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: all Pro Super Bowl champions, ardiers that they have that
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: are pending free agents. The Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker,
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: Rik Wollan Rashid Shiheed, Kobe Bryant, Boy Mafe Snyder stuff
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: front saying I'm here for the agents of those guys,
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: and in particular with Walker. He Snyder has not had
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: face to face talks about Walker's contract with Walker's new
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: agents because Walker just hired him last month the week
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: of the NFC title game. He fired his previous agents
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: and hired David Canter and his buddies at the R
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: Sports Group down in Florida, and so they haven't had
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: a chance to set what their minimum, their far their
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: first negotiation number for what it would take to re
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: sign Walker. And they're doing that this week in Indianapolis
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: with Snyder, and he's doing that with Shaheed's agents, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: he's doing that with Jason Chiatt and Rik Willam's agents.
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: That is the thrust of what John Schneider's doing now.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: His football personnel scouting staff and his college scouting staff
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: and Nolan Timsley, the assistant Jim and those guys, they're
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: going to be more focused on he interviews the medical process,
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: the underware Olympics that go on TV this weekend with
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: the college players, but the GM contracts side of the
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: house is here to get business done, and they'll take
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: in the coffee shops and in the lobbies and informal
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: and on the phone. They're going to take these agents'
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: first stab at what negotiations may start at for new contracts,
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: take them back to renting next week and form their
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: counter offers to give to their agents for these pending
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: free agents next week. And then they got doing a
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: short time frame, you know, of course, because as you know,
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: in March ninth is when market opens, that's when the
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: legal tampering career begins. And Marsh eleventh is when they
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: can officially start signing deals. So this week to get
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: the first uh the agents numbers, they have next week
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: to make a counter offer and see they get a
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: deal done.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And then you got every GM there as well. That
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: there's all sniffing around, and I'd always like the legal
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: legal tampering which seems like an our more on. But
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: that being said, like legal tampering officially starts, as you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: mentioned on March ninth, league here on March eleventh, legal.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: Tampering Monday, when everybody got.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Here, I was gonna say, isn't that what it is?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: When when you know, guy comes up to John John
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Lynch goes up to John Schneider and just says, Hey,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: what about so and so?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: What about so?
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what's going on.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: And when Kenny Right, and when Kenneth Walker's agent bumps
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: into the Jets TM, they don't just say excuse me.
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: They don't just say excuse me and keep ordering their Burris.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: They talk numbers, and they talk well, what Seattle is
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: going to do? Yes, And that all happens here at
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: the combine, which is why to me, from what I
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: try to do covering and now especially a Super Bowl champion.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: To me, the combine is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: then once once the players get on the field and
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: bench pressing and catching passes, I'm out of here. In fact,
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: I'm leaving tomorrow because the crux of what the Seahawks
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty sixth season is going to be like is
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: going down right now between now and Thursday.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, only Ford picks right now, even if he adds
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: one or two draft picks, whatever whatever he does. I mean,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: it's not a it's this draft is a is kind
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of a nothing burger by Seahawks standards, compared to what
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: he's done the last few years and building this roster
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: back up. Greg Bell joined this News Tribune Seahawk insider
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: here on nine three point three kjr FM, all Right,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: would you glean yesterday from John Schnunder for those who
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: missed the.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: Story, Well, one of the things I didn't put in
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: my story is what you just mentioned. I asked Snyder
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: about having only four picks and how aggressive he might
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: be to get more picks this time, and how that
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: changes the whole team's approached this combine. And he said
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: they made the estimate a year or two ago that
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: this draft class was not as deep, not as worth
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: investing a lot of capital and trade value to get
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: more picks than in last year's draft or in next
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: year's draft. And so he's treating this draft a little
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: bit like that COVID year draft. Remember that when went
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: three picks, yep, and he didn't He traded away his
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: picks and traded for players, and he didn't try to
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: move up or get additional picks that year because of
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: the COVID year and he didn have a good scouting
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: read on those guys. He's treating this year like that.
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: And I'm not getting the impression that he's going to
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: get too many more picks than the four. I don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: think they'll still have just for especially because they're the
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: bottom of the first round of thirty two. They never
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: have thirty two first round talent players for any draft.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: So he'll trade down that thirty two and get a
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: pick or two extra. But they're not going to go
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: out and say, well, we only have four picks. Oh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: they only have four picks this year by design. The
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: other thing is I'm getting to read from players, from
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: people around the league and the agent types that know
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: these numbers and how markets get set that I think
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: Rashid si Heat might be the first to get resigned
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: and maybe the easiest for John Schneider to redo, because
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: they're going to value him as a probow kick returner,
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: that all pro kick returner as he is, but not
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: as a dual wide receiver kick returner, because the Seahawks
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: have Tory Horton coming back off the shin injury.
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: To do that.
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: So in the Seahawks mind, they're going to spot and
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: treat those two different players with two different roles, basically
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: the same skill set but in two different roles. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: now and negotiated and signed with Shihed as a kick
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: returner only so to see and now have Horton coming
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: back off the injury for his second season at wide receiver.
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: That's unlike most teams that would negotiate with Rashid Shaheed
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: now she he wants to stay here. Of course, everybody
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: who is on a super Bowl team winning wants to
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: stay on the Super Bowl team. But of the four
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: big key pending free agents between Walker, Shaheed, Kobe Bryant, Riquil,
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: and I think Shaheed might be the first one, perhaps
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: the more simple one than go back, a better term
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: to resign.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I thought Greg too kind of Rashid Shaheed feels like
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: there's a precedent with him. In a sense, the precedents
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: are two guys, Leonard Williams and Ernest Jones. You know
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: in season trades that Schneider makes with guys that are
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: on expiring contracts. But in their mind, more than likely
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: they want to resign. Am I going down the right
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: road there?
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly right, and entering into a culture of
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: winning and immediate success and first time in their careers
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: they've had this much success. She heat was at the Saints,
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: I mean at the beginning of the season, they were
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: on their way to a losing season, and she Heat's
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: future was he didn't know what was going on. He
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: was on a losing team and an expiring contract. Now
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden, he becomes a pro bowler, wins
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: the biggest game that got the Seahawks division title with
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: that kickoff return in the fourth quarter against the Rams,
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: leads off the division champ, the division playoff game against
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: San Francisco with the big kickoff return for a touchdown.
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: And you could use the MVP as second half of
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: the season for this team, and they're going to pay
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: him that way, and they have a really specialized role.
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: I know she Heat from talking to him, loves Jay
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: Harbaugh and how he uses and values special teams. He
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: loves how Mike McDonald elevates special teams and talks about
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: it and drills it. Spent a lot of time game
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: planning it. It's different in New Orleans. Let's put it
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: that way for him, and talking to people around, should
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: he I'd be really surprised if he doesn't resign.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the two corners real quick, and if
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you want to include Kobe Bryant in there, you can
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: because of the title Katta depth, you know, providing some
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: depth safe to say they would probably sign one, but
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: not both of Job and Woolen.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And where does Bryant the safety fit in.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: Well, McDonald really likes Bryant. He loves his smarts, his instincts,
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: how he plays with love. I don't think that doesn't
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: seem like a guy they're going to let get away,
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: a homegrown guy that they've moved around in different positions
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: and until he found his true place on this team.
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: And McDonald really really likes how he fits in the
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: entire scope of things well, and to me, he's going
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: to price himself out of Seattle. The league sees sixty
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: four to two hundred pounds running as well as he does,
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: as long as arms he has. In fact, he was
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: in the Probo as a rookie, and they salivate over
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: the physical talent that he has. And the Seahawks can
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: get away with I think much easier time signing back
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: Josh Joe, a former waiver picked up from the Eagles
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: than they would both in money and effort and prequel.
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: And you can't bring everyone back the NFL is you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: You'll make sure of that. But the salary kept so
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: every time they say, well, we want to bring them
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: all back. Of course they always say that because they
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: don't want to come out in the media and say, wow,
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: we don't really want him back or he's too expensive.
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: They're never going to do that, but they never all
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: come back. And that the NFL legislates it that way.
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: If you're pinning me down, I think job Bryant and
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: Yushija he come back. I think Kenneth Walker and Requillen
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: walk to richer contracts and the Seahawks WI want to
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: get him anywhere.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Does the Zach Charbonay injury factor in it all with
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker his value to this team.
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: Yes, I was finishing the story when Andrews called. They
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: got word that it's a little more optimistic on Sharbonay
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: that they thought when he first got injured. Now they
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: had to wait for almost a full month actually a
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: little more than a full month before they had the
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: ACL surgery. For those of us that have had ACL surgeries,
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: you just can't go in and operate when your knees
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: blown up. You get to wait till the slowing goes
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: all the way down. And some structural his terrors started
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: showing itself and it took almost five weeks for that
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: to happen with Schoberty, so he just had the surgery
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: last weekend. But Mike McDonald said today that they got
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: some positive news out of that, both he and John
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: Schneider side. We wouldn't rule out anything with Charbonnay, with
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: how work ethic he has and blah blah blah. But
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: the bottom line is that eight to twelve month recovery
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: for an ACL. They're hoping that could be on the
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: shorter side of that. Now that still takes them the September.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: Maybe that's the most optimistic. That's a risky game to
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: play to let your Super Bowl MVP walk out and
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: then have your presumed air as your lead back not
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: coming back until September off an ACL. There It is
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: a reminder, though, you know why teams and why the
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: Seahawks haven't re signed Walker up till now, and why
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: teams are so reluctant to give big money, guaranteed second
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: contracts two running backs, the most treated position with the
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: lowest sale life in the league. They just won't do it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: And even though Kenneth Walker finally played seventeen games for
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: the first time in his career this season, even though
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: he's only twenty five. The very fact that they haven't
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: even made an offer to him yet, according to what
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: Walker told me at the Super Bowl, tells you what
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: they think of the running back position and trying to
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: project that out. I expect them if they're one of
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: their four picks going to be a running back, and
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: they're going to start over, just like they started over
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: after Ross Row and Lynch Thomas, Rawls with Chris Carson,
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: after Rawls with Kenneth Walker, after Carson.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's an interesting dynamic grig because you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: know they've had success with you. Carson was a seventh
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: round pick. Rawls, ye go undrafted right, Yeah, and both
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: those guys had their careers cut short by injuries, and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: so that happens, and you know, I think it happened
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: right after Carson signed a decent contract too, if I'm
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: not mistaken and hurt his neck, you know, so I
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: can understand. Do they feel like they can find a guy.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Let's just take Sharbonay out of it for a second.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Say he's you know, he we we know with help
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: when he's healthy, we know it. Zach Scharbona is we
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: know contract right, right, right, But when healthy, we know
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: what Walker is. I think it's safe to say when
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: when both are healthy side by side, Walker is more dynamic.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: But how much does it drop off? That's probably something
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: for McDonald and Snyder to figure out. Do they feel
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: like the jilanis Kenny McIntosh coming off knee injury and
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: a running back or two in the draft or undrafted
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: could fill that hole for a guy in Mike McDonald
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: who wants to run the football.
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: I don't think they even know. I don't know that
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: that would be a risky game to play as a
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: Super Bowl champion that wants to run the ball fifty
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: percent of the time. And as a fan, I get it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: How are you going to let a Super Bowl and
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: repeat a walk?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: But right?
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: For the dynamics we just said, But the Sharboney injury
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: complicates this because look, they had a contract value pegged
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: for Walker all year. Here's how much we would perhaps
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: go to the max flour for twenty twenty six and
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: beyond for Walker, But that was always with sharbon A
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: presumed to be on the rosters the number for week
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: one in twenty twenty six, and now that he may
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: not be that how much more. Does that raise the
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: ceiling on what the projected number to give to offer
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: Walker is. I think it goes up obviously if he
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: gets the free agency, I mean anybody, but especially Kenneth Walker,
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: if he gets the free agency for the first time
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: an open market, because usually what happens is John Schnyder says, Okay,
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: we'll let you go shop. You bring the number, the
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: best number you get from somebody back to us, and
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: we'll tell you whether we're going to match that or not.
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: And most times the players do that and the agents
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: do that for the Seals. It's a relationship they've had
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: going way back when John Schneider first did this in
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: twenty ten with Pete Carroll. But if there was ever
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: a player that's going to leave the market he gets
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: to market, it's going to be Kenneth Walker. One think
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: about it. From Walker's per study, he was putting a
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: job share in a contract year. After three years of
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: being the number one back in Seattle, they put him
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: in a job share on a walk here, that's one
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: number two. He's still only twenty five years old. At
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: number three. How many twenty five year old Super Bowl
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: MVP has become free agents? About a month after the game. Oh,
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: that's almost unheard of, and at that especially at that position.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: And we're not talking about an outside linebacker, or this
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: is a guy who's going to get that. Fifty percent
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: of your offensive game plan every week revolves around in
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: Seattle's offense. It's such a confluence of uniqueness that if
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: they let him go to market, I think he's gone.
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: So now John Schneider has what twelve days could correct
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: that from happening, if you want to, I know.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: He wrote about the Super Bowl and whether or not
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: an invite will come. We'll wait and see how hasn't
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: come yet? What else are you looking for in the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: next twenty fo hours before you hop on a plane
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: and come back home.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: Well, the word I'm getting my Matt, by the way,
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: is that if the Sea Howks get an invitation, they
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: will go and they're not going to make some national
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: news and stand and we're really part of sending make
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: it all contentious. If they get offered, they'll show up
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: and it probably would happen in May. That's the word
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: I've been getting. I said, I ever been writing about
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: the injury situation with Charvon Ay and does change the
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: Walker dynamic. That's the story I'm writing right now for
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: the News Tribune. I also talk about the sale and
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: the team, John Schneider and Mike McDonald both saying it
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: is business as usual. Jody Allen met with them after
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: the announcement the team was up for sale recently and said,
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: you keep doing your football stuff. Nothing's changing. It's not
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: like the money's going to stop, or that they're going
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: to change their draft philosophy or none of that changes.
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: I asked Snyder yesterday does he expect Jody Allen and
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: still be the team chair on Week one of the
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: next season, and he said, I don't know that, but
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: from at least the football side of it, it's going
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: to be business as usual this offseason, and ian when
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: the new buyer or buyers, whether it's a group of investors,
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: come in, they would be complete idiots to change the
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: football side of a contending Super Bowl champion that's had
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: the best run of Samet success in sixteen years. So
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: the football piece will stay the same. We've talked earlier
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: in a couple of year shows about how the inside
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: the building dynamics and the business side of what will
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: definitely change, but so far there's no effect at all.
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: And by the way, no imminute sale. It's going to
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: take a while, and even if they found a buyer
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: in the next couple of months, it's probably gonna take
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: a long time to sort that sale out.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I did laugh a little bit.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I thought that the whole you know, and you probably
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: did too when people were saying, well, with the impending
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and you had to ask the question, but with the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: impending sale and the team up for sale, like, oh god,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: are they not going to be able to do anything
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: during free agency? Every every team in the NFL spends
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to the cap, like it's not just if it was baseball,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: it'd be a different story, like, okay, well, you know
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: what you're you're not gonna spend your payroll is going
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to be x. In the NFL, we know what every
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: team's payroll is, even if they're god awful bad, Like
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: that's yeah, exactly right.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: And nobody and nobody buys an NFL franchise with q ponts. No, no,
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: don't discounts depending on how much or how little you've
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: spent on your players. Everyone, as you said, is going
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: to pay three hundred million dollars or whatever the cap
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: settles that's this year. Yeah, and the contracts that currently
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: exists will be honored, and yeah, it won't be any change.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: To great stuff is always get some rest and one
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: more day for you before you head home. Tacoma News

  Speaker 1: Sales won six and one all time, against Tampa Sales

  Speaker 1: two ten and ten and two all time.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Against That is just the worst record against a Western

  Speaker 5: Conference team.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Affington's next at four thirteen and one. Yeah, now
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: that's the bad news.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: The good news is Dallas doesn't look like they normally do.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys out tonight, including their leading score,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the thoroughbred Secretarius over it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: It is what he is though, right, he's just like
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: a coming down the ice.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, just an absolute beast. Uh. Yeah, So he's
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: out tonight, uh, which is good. That's a that's a
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: we like that. We like that a lot if you're
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the that's a Miko Ranton, by the way, he played
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: for Team Finlan missed the bronze medal game, which Compococo
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and uh Ellie told to win the bronze in that game.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: But Miko Ranton has got sixty nine points and fifty
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: four games this season. So he is out tonight. I think,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: uh he's getting as well. Who's their fourth winning score,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: but their top defenseman. So yeah, they got their missings
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: some guys thanks to the Olympics. So that's the time
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to begin. I hear a good time to get your
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Dallas stars and then Saint Louis tomorrow. They're gonna be
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: without Robert Thomas, who's probably he's not their best offensive
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: player when he's probably their second or third best offensive player,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: so he's out tomorrow as well. So yeah, they're getting
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: some teams at a good time. We'll see who plays
• 37:22

  Speaker 1: what John Schneider said and talking to Greg just a
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: moment ago, Ken Walker may be a hard guy to
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: re sign when it's all said and done for the Seahawks.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Workouts officially begin tomorrow. Defensive line and the linebackers sitting

  Speaker 1: the Seax have not yet been invited to the White
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: House if you care about such things. If they do,
• 39:03

  Speaker 1: sixteen hundred Pennsylvania. Cal Rowley got his first home in

  Speaker 8: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now

  Speaker 8: back to Ian Fornesz powered by Seattle's Closest sports book

  Speaker 8: Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: three point three KJR FM.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Hour number two the show. We'll get back to the
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: topic I'm going to get to in a second. Get
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: some text four nine four to five one on the
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Tacoma Dutch text line. We get some feedback and manager
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: jests on we're talking overtime. It's kind of a little
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: fun today after all the controversy regarding the three on
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: three hockey the other day, and actually both days.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Was both really that much controversy. Is it just Canadians
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: being but hurt.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: We'll get to that. We'll get to that in just
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: a second. See.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I just want to follow up with Greg on what
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Greg's conversation a moment ago in regards to ken Walker,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: because it just kind of feels like it's trending towards
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks not able to keep him or not being able,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and they might get priced out in a sense and
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: not want to commit the same finances that maybe another
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: team would for ken Walker. You know, I think, you know,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: it would be disappointing. I think for fans, you'd love
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: to be able to see when they raise the flag
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: and the banner inside the stadium on that opening night,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: which I guess now could be Wednesday. Stupid god, NFL
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: stop with the stupid foreign game the week. But they
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: know that that's because they're gonna play.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: They don't.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: They can't play Friday this year, and the second there's
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: a game that's scheduled for wherever it is somewhere not
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: in the domestic United States of America. And so the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: opener for the yah Man that being on the Wednesday
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: of that week, which is just lovely moronic on every level. Anyway, Anyway,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: when the band goes up, wait, I mean next to
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: have the Super Bowl MVP in the stadium in uniform, right.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: But the reality of the NFL with the salary cap
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: league is, and that position that he plays is that
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you may not want to go down that road and
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: commit that kind of money or even term in terms
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: of what ken Walker would demand over many years. And
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: I I just I guess the thing would worry me.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: And I can't even begin to fathom trying to question
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: John Schneider and and what he and his staff do.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Because they've put together two super Bowl champions right, that's
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Yeah, But and they know they're fun,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: they have cap room, they have room to work with.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker played all seventeen games for the first time
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: in his career this year, and I know that's probably
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: where the try pidation comes. The funny thing is, and
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Greg mentioned this, he did kind of a job share
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: this year. He's had two thousand yard seasons. His rookie year,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: he rush for one thousand and fifty yards. This year
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: he ran for one thy twenty seven. His rookie season,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: he had two hundred and twenty eight carries. This year
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: he had two hundred and twenty one. He had two
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: nineteen in twenty twenty three. He was hurt and missed
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: six games last year, last year being twenty twenty four,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and his numbers dropped dramatically. But when healthy and when
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: given the opportunity, he is an impact back in the
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: National Football League. And I'll just go back to what
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: great co Sale told us every week and what Hughes
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: talked about and others on our show. This is a
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: guy that's a difference maker. And you hate to see
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: guys who are true difference makers walk and leave. Pardon
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the punt, But the reality in the NFL is there
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: are running backs that you know, and it's a position.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. Every time you're on the field,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: every time that you touch the ball, every time that
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: you do what your job is, whether it's running, receiving,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: or if you're in past block, you're getting hit and
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: not hit like a blocker, like an offensive lineman or anything. No,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: you're getting hit. So two d and twenty one times
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: times how many times plus thirty six targets, so about
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty times last year he got hit,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: taken to the ground. That was in the regular season.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: It takes its toll. So I understand the trumpidation. I
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: understand the worry. I also don't think and we've talked
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: about this on a weekly basis. I think we brought
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: up ken Walker almost every week with great coat heal
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: this year. I think almost every week on a Friday,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: we're breaking down film. He's breaking down film. We talked
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: about ken Walker because he's a difference maker and a
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Zach Sharberney coming off an ACL injury, Kenny McIntosh coming
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: off an ACL injury. George Hallani is a guy. That's
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: what you have. That's what you have right now, and
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: it's not a good running backs class. Ranks told us
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that all year. I see some stuff with Daniel Jeremia
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: out there talking about how deep this this draft class is.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I get it. That's your job. Your job is to
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: talk about the draft. You're the only guy in the
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: world saying this is a deep draft. He has to
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: create some sort of Yeah, he's the only guy saying
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: that everyone else is. It's a bad draft and running
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: back wise, there's one guy that's a top probably a
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: day one, day two guy, and that's Jeremiah Love. That's it.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: The drop off is significant. I love Jonah Coleman. If
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Jonah Coleman's healthy, I love him. Is he ken Walker?
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe someday would be, but we don't know.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: It seems like a pretty heavy risk to take to
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: let this guy walk, But the market will dictate that
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: and we'll probably know. I think we'll probably know if
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: he goes to open market. I think it's gonna be over,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: So we'll know by March ninth, March eleventh, when the
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: league year begins. About ken Walker. Okay mentioned this earlier
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: four nine four to five one Koma Doadge text line
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: four nine four five one. That is the kombadage X
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: text line. Your text also will to get some talkbacks,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: all you have to do is go the iHeart radio app.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: And speaking of the red microphone and fire Away, I
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: mentioned this andros you jumped in, I'll let you go
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: in a second here, So I there was an I
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: wanted to bring up overtime you and I kind of
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: just glossed over this. Yesterday in sports as fans, we
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: like to fix things, right. We always, you know, if
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: we think if we think it's broken, it'll be fixed.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Case in point, like the automatic balls and strikes, the
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: challenge system this year in Major League Baseball, which was
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: it yesterday, there was an umpire that got challenged three
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: times in the first like six batters, Yeah, and lost
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and the umpire was wrong all three times. Yeah.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, they're gonna there.
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: You're gonna start to see how different the game is
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: when the umpires get it correct.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I it's well, we'll table that for Molly Wop down
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: the road.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't wait, because I think that's going to
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: turn into a thing. We narrowed it down to overtime.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: We brought it up over time yesterday, Yes, Andrews and nine.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: We was kind of we touched on it for a second.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: And Andrews, you said it, yeah, like are people do
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: people not like the three on three because they live
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: north of the border and they were all pro team
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Canada for both men and women. Or now listen, the
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: US benefited not just once but twice in overtime.
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: That's true in the quarters as well.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Canada benefited in the semis. They had no problem when
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: they won in the Semis, right then anything that. But
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Edzel said it yesterday, and I think he did speak
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Three on three does seem
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: a little gimmicky. It's massively exciting, like it's it is
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: like a hockey game, and the regular Seattle doubt for
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: all's go to overtime tonight. I'm okay with that and
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: take the point, get the hell out of there. Yes,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: but but three on three is really fun to watch.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you see the skill and the speed on
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: display like never before. It's fun.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Is it the best way to determine a game?
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Well? Depends, right, It depends. Same thing with Major League Baseball?
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Is the ghost runner the best way to determine a
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: regular season game? I think regular season? I think Major
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: League base gets it right. I'll be honest with you.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: I think they get it right.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: Really with the extra ghost runner.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Huh really?
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: And here's why, because baseball. Listen, baseball has worked so tirelessly.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Now we just talked about the ABS stuff or the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: challenge system. What has baseball tried to do? They've tried
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: to shorten the games. Yes, because one hundred and sixty
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: two games being played at three plus hours too much, right, Yeah,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Like it's it's just too much for the average consumer,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and I think more so for the person in the stadiums.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: You know, that's why. And baseball has done a good job,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: like instead of playing games at seven o'clock, they start
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: at six thirty six forty yep. Like they've done a
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: good job of doing that for because that's people in
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the same if I sit at home. Honestly, guys, I
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: don't care how long a game goes. Yeah, Like I
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: never cared how long a college football game went. It's
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: like whatever four hours I've I've carved that time out. Man,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I'm good with hell. I might not get there until halftime.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I'm good with that. Majorly, Baseball I think does it
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: right because with pitchers and how we treat those guys
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: with kid gloves, it makes like one game makes no
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: sense to burn guys out that one game. It could
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: come down to it. We all see it regular season
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two. In game one sixty means something.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: One sixty one means something. But I like and then
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: get to the and get to the postseason boom. You
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: just go back to regular baseball and you determine it
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: until it's done. That's perfect. I don't mind Major League Baseball,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the NHL, the five minute overtime three on three in
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the regular season, do it. Get rid of the shootout.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: My thought would be, get rid of the shootout and
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: this if it's three on three after five minutes. Hell,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: if you want to play three on three for ten minutes,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: I don't care. It goes by fast because there's no whistles,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: really fast, like. There's no whistles like it's if there's
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: a whistle, it's because a goal scored, or if somebody does,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: like a goalie, maybe makes a save.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: But it's rares. It's rare.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: There's a whistle and a three on three, and then
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: go to it and screw the shootout.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: It's worthless. It's dumb.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: It's a skills competition. It shouldn't determine anything more so
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: than a three on three skills competition. I get rid
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: of the shoot out. Playoffs to go back to five on
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: five twenty minutes. Perfect. Then you play playoffs. All bets
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: are off. I'll get back the Olympics in a second.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: NBA and college basketball, there's no issues. They play a
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: five minute overtime. If it's not determined after five minutes,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: you play five more minutes. Whatever it's done. Well, college
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: football twenty five yard line. I used to love this.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I'll get to the NFL in a second. The twenty
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: five yard line. They've changed it now, so the second
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: overtime you got to go for two and if there's
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: still a tie after that, then you just play. Then
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: you turn into the college football version of a shootout
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and you alternate two point tries. Gimmicky, but college football.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: By then you've played three and a half four hours.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: I don't have a huge qualm with it, and I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: think I think it's fine, and it's actually pretty damn exciting.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: And a way you go, what about in the playoff?
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: Would you like it to do what the other sports
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: do and go back to regular Yeah, And.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get to that because I think the NFL
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: is the key.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: I think when you get to the NFL.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: So the NFL has a ten minute overtime, both teams
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: get a possession now, as we all know, So it's
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: still kind of based on the coin toss, you know,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and there's some strategy there.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: If you win it, do you want the ball? Do
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: you not want the ball? All those?
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: In the playoffs, it's a fifteen minute overtime and then
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: you keep going and turns into sudden death at both
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: teams score, which is fine. I think the NFL could,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and even for a college football playoff, I think you
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: would just.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Be really simple, just play.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Just play a fifteen minute overtime or a ten minute overtime,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to do. And in the NFL in
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: the regular season, play a ten minute overtime or a
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: fifteen minute overtime, probably ten. And if it's still tied, fine,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: but it's just ten minutes. It's not sudden death ever.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Just play, ok so just a regular extra quarter.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: You're playing ten minutes. Yeah. And so if a team
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: has a nine minute drive and they score a touchdown,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: you got a minute.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: To score, right, that's it.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Or if a team scores a touchdown, you get the ball,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: you kick a field goal, and then they get the
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: ball back, they kick a field and they kick a
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: field goal, you get the ball back, you score, go
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: for two, you win it. You know what I'm saying,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Like you just it's a cumultive thing.
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: So you're playing the full ten minutes no matter.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Why play the full ten minutes and after full ten minutes,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: you play the full ten no matter what tie after
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: that simple, I think that's the easiest solution. I don't
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: know why you don't just do that. We see a
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: lot of NFL overtimes now going almost ten minutes if
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: not yeah right, yeah, Like we see that often now, and.
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: Then there is more strategy to like, if you're the
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: team that gets it first, you can take a super
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: long drive exactly and like try and leave less time
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: on the clock for the opposing team, or play game or.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: A field goal.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: You go for a field goal and if you get
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: a stop, great, Yeah, you get the ball back, you score,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: you're up by ten, you're probably gonna win the game.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I just just play the ten minutes.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Instead of this, because really, at the end, the team
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: with the ball first still has a massive advantage. And
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: that's based on a coin flip. Like that's based on
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: a coin flip. Right, stupid? The three on three in
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the Olympics, I think, is is it? The discussion I
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: thought was dumb in a sense, they had to get
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: games in a certain amount of time. They only had
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: with the two rinks they played in. They had the
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: men's tournament and the women's tournament, although the women did
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: in on Thursday, but you still had two tournaments going on,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams, a lot of games. You had
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: to fit those games in, and.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't like it.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Necessarily for the gold medal game, I don't think the
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: closing ceremonies mattered at all. I don't think any players
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: went to those right from the two teams. Right, ain't
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: no way that you went. Well, there's no way those
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: guys went. Canada was pissed off at the world, right
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: they were. They were sideways.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Did you watch the silver metal presentation?
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Well, and then they get the little plushy dog?
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: How insult to injury?
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Just here's something to sleep tonight?
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Well, do you know what?
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Finlan wasn't there? They were launched on Filin was gone.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: They got the bronze medals and left the day before,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: so they weren't even out there. Just play that until
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: it's over. That that's the one game you can play
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: till it's over. The rest of them at three on three,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I get it. They just they didn't. None of the games
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: went to shootouts, which is nice. They all got decided right,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: the ones went overtime. But but just play the game
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: for the gold medal. Play it till it's over five
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: on five. And if it goes and bleeds into God,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: for listen, if it bled into the closing ceremonies, which
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: were two hours later or three hours later, and it
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: might have been two hours away. And again, none of
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: those players are going to the closing ceremonies, guys.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: But you're also not gonna lose ratings. They'll tell you
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: that much.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: You're gaining ratings at that point.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: That's actually a perfect lead in.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: So that's my that's my that's my dissertation on overtime.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: You get your talkbacks. But I think the NFL is
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: the one that needs to be fixed the most in
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: the regular season and just go to in the regular
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: season a very simple you're gonna play and even the
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: postseason postseason, make it fifteen minutes, make it a full period,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and or go to ten and then flip fields,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: flip sides of the field, whatever it is. But I
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: think the NFL could do that and be better off.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: And as you said, some of the three on three
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: go yeah.
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's two kind of parts to this question
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: for me. Number one, I want to make a quick
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: advocate for ties, because you mentioned it a couple of times.
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: I know, soccer guy talking about ties here is going
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: to come off as you know. That's fine if you
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: have a tie, and I know that there's this stigma around,
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: you know, not wanting to see a game that you
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: paid for end in a tie. And I understand that
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: to some extent, right, But I want to say in
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: a league like you know, in soccer or just any
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: you know league around the world, and even an NFL,
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: at times, it does add an amount of urgency because
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: I think sometimes when you know that there's that overtime period,
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: the teams can take the foot off the gas the
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: last couple of minutes, right, and it doesn't it doesn't
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: add that extra you know, urgency towards the end of
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: the regulation, so to speak, when you know that there's
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: that extra time, right, you can play to go to overtime,
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: get that extra point or so to speak. Versus you know,
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: there's teams that like, all I need is a tie
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: in this game. There's a team that needs to win
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: to kind of move up in the standings, and it
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: creates so much other stuff So that's the first aspect
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: of it that I want to mention that it's not
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: the end of the world to have things end in ties,
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: and I want to I want to have people open
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: up to that a little bit.
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: I understand if you tw twenty sixteen.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, yeah there's twenty sixteen. The Seahawks played
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: famously that tie, yes, down in Arizona. Maybe the worst
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: football game I ever had to cover in my life. Yeah,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: it was awful, but because it was a tie, it
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: was just awful.
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: For six three Cleveland games that I didn't cover that one.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: But but here's the thing with that game in twenty sixteen.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I remember the story we did after the game and
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: talking to players in the game. The Seahawks ended up
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: winning the division that year, right, Yeah, they won the
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: division that year. That tie was massive because there's strategy, Yes,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: depending on what time of the year that game is played,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of strategy that goes into It's like,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: for Seattle, they wanted to win, they could not lose.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Let's just put it that. They had to win, they
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: couldn't lose. So a tie for them was a win
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: that day. And even though like the locker room felt
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: really weird, but they didn't feel like a loss. I'll
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: tell you that he walked into there in Glendale. It
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: did not feel like a loss. And the guy the
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: story I did that night for Fox, it was it
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: was a tie, but it was a win. They finished
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: ten to five and one in the division that year.
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and there is an element to that.
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: Then there comes like, oh, the team's defending a little
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: bit more, they don't have to necessarily go for it.
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: Then the other team's so desperate to get that win. Right,
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: So there's a lot of other stuff. But if you
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: are going to go to overtime, right, the question is
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: do you want it to look like the regulation or
• 56:03
  Speaker 6: do you want it to be different? And does that
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: change for regular season to playoffs? Those are kind of
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: the two main things for me.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I think it changes for the playoffs. I think playoffs change. Yes,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I said I think baseball gets it right. I think baseball.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: This is so weird to say baseball gets it right.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: It is kind of right. It doesn't seem correct, but
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: baseball has it correct. And I think in the NFL,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: a ten minute overtime, yes, you're gonna bleed into the
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: TV windows and that's their biggest concern because Fox and
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: CBS don't want that, or if now you do have
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: a buffer, if it's a late game, because the NBC
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: game doesn't start till an hour or so after the
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: other game's end the late window.
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: But but you I get that, I get the TV element.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: But honestly, most people are gonna be watching that overtime
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: and unless and if it's maybe, if it's not your team,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: if it's you know, god, if it was Tennessee and
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: the Jets this year, you'd be like, whatever, man, I'll
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: flip it off.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: Unless you have a fantasy.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Implication or something.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Well that does change things.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: It does, it does change things. But I think they
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: get it right. Andrews, you don't like my baseball take.
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: I don't love the extra ghost runner. To me, it
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: is a little gimmicky. Uh, it changes the game more
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: than I want it to see. I'm someone who I'm
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: kind of in the middle. I don't want just another
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: marathon games. I don't necessarily love the NHL playoff overtime.
• 57:18
  Speaker 6: I I really like the three on three personally. I
• 57:20
  Speaker 6: think it's still the same, like core aspects of hockey
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: is very very similar. You're not giving one team an
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: advantage because they're the home team and they get to
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: you know whatever, it's it's it's hockey, but it's quicker
• 57:32
  Speaker 6: and you end up finishing the game faster, and I
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: think that's kind of a good happy medium for me.
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: I hate the shootout as well, so I'm not even
• 57:38
  Speaker 6: gonna touch that, but the three on three is like
• 57:41
  Speaker 6: a good like you're still kind of speeding up the
• 57:42
  Speaker 6: game a little bit.
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: It's fun to watch.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Like you said, no whistles regular season.
• 57:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, I I understand see now. I really liked
• 57:53
  Speaker 6: in the All Star Game the swing off. That's that's
• 57:56
  Speaker 6: a whole nother thing. It's kind of like a shootout.
• 58:02
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying that it needs to change, but it's
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: just not my favorite overtime.
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: Gotcha, yeah, got yah?
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: Yeahright, just real quick, which which one which needs to
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: be changed?
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: I really don't like to shoot out too, so we'll
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: take that off the table. I am in full agreement
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: when it comes to that in any sport that does it,
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: but you know, hockey, soccer, don't like it, don't like it.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: I want the game in an extra inning, extra anything situation,
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: extra time. I want it to look exactly like the
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: regular game.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: I don't like the.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: Ghost Runner at all, however, because in the postseason it
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: goes back to regular baseball.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: I'm willing to accept it because.
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: It speeds up the game in one hundred and sixty
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: two game season and in a postseason gold medal match,
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: any anything like that college football playoff. I want it
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: to be as close to regulation time as humanly possible,
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: and it should just be an extension of the regular game.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I'll just I'll wrap it up this before we get
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: to break. We want your talkbacks as well. Go the
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app red microphone speaking to it talk will hear
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: your thoughts as well. I like the Ghost Runner because
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: what it lends itself to is a debate about whether
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: or not you should bunt, and then that leads to very,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: that leads to very that leads to very entertaining text
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: threads between the Molly Whoppers and Andrews On. About a
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: dozen or two times a year, I'm sitting there late
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: at night, having a cocktail, relaxing, and all of a
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: sudden look at my phone and I'm like, oh God,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: here we go. Someone either bunted or didn't bunt. And
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: then with a ghost runner on anders In chimes in,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: and then Nathan chimes in with words that we can't
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: understand because they're really big and lots of syllables and exactly,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: and then Chris comes up with normally like the Voice
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: of Reason. That's how it usually ends up. But I'm
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: always entertained by it because I just sit back and
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: watch it. But anyway, that's it. We'll get your thoughts
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: text line. Also, the talkbacks come up next nine three

  Speaker 1: Like he said?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: You would.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 10: Start to kind of piss me off. You guys, can't.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 10: I can't let him get out of this. He won
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 10: the Super Bowl. He said he would drink the year
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 10: on the water from the the press box Levi Stadium.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 10: Make him do it, don't let him be okay.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Two things, One more Jackson Felts, please, please more Jackson
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Felts please. Two Did he say he would drink the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: water out of the urinal in the stadium?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have it on tape.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: And he was the reason this all start is because
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: there's a sign above the urinal that says it.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Made me take He made me take a picture of it. Oh,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: okay when I was there, And last time I was
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: there was twenty twenty three, and he texted me during
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the game and said, I need you to take a
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: picture of the sign in the urinal at Levi Stadium
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: because he had seen it when they went down there
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: for the Pac Pac twelve championship game and was just
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: and you know, I mean he was enamored by it,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: like he thought it was. I mean, they're just he
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: was just done for the rest of the game. I
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: don't think he even know who won the game, like up there.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: So I so here was a bad thing. I go
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: into the bathroom and you know, I'm like, okay, well
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: I'll get a picture of it. I think I did
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: during the playoff games. I was the year the plaf no,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: I was year before. Anyway, I'm in there and there's
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: only two yurnals in the press box bathroom. So I
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: go in there. I'm looking around. Nobody's in there. All right,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: I'll take take my phone out and take a picture.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm doing that and some dude walks in. Well,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: you have a camera in a bathroom. That's just not
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: just not good. So I took one for the team
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: for Softie there, send it back to him to use,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: and it is stupid, like do not drink the water. Really,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks Santa Clara. Thanks well, I like.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: To go by Every sign exists for a reason, for
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: a reason.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I guess our reason is is
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: one works there there we go. That's why they have
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: to put it up because John Len's there, I would say,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: And as far as that, yeah, we do have water.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: There's some bets to be replayed. I still have a
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: group's gonna do my radio show one day and probably
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: in my career. I gotta we gotta find a day
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: for that, Jess.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we have a short show coming up.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: They're only gonna do an hour. They're gonna do an
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: hour two okay, Okay, then they're gonna do it. They're
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: gonna do cross talk with Softy.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: That's fun, Okay, I like that.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: That'll be Entergy.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: So the two o'clock hour.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna find a date all right.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, I would say it will be in the next
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: month though starts. Oh, we could do it during like
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: the All Star break.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: We'll find a time.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, find a time. Okay. Uh So those are those
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: are both there? Okay, good give me two more.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 14: Look, the focus of this team is defense. They're the battery,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 14: So you got to bring back as many of those
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 14: guys as you can. And between Jason and Walker, I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 14: don't think anybody disputes Jason as the priority, all right,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 14: So I get the draft class. Maybe he ain't great,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 14: but there's free agents out there who I think you
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 14: can go get cheaper.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: You go and get Brits Hall.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 14: So people like you didn't do anything for the Jets yet, well,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 14: nobody does anything for the Jets. They're the Jets and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 14: Sam Darnold okay, or now Azie Harris or Nick Chubb.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 14: I'm just saying somebody to spell until sharbon Nay gets
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 14: who cares?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 12: If there's a few ties, I think it would make
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 12: you more interesting and more urgent for teams to do
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 12: things and regulations.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Perfect, all right, I'm gonna we're gonna tackle over time
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: in a second. Let me just read this real quick.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: And did you say to the crack and the only
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: two wins against the Stars and four plus years it
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: took him to game some of the playoffs.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: Those are two wins in.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: The regular seas regular season?
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, just clarify that. Okay. I love this one.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Talking about overtime, this is this is and I think
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: you've mentioned Jack Jackson, Cheezo Jackson handers this Sounder's seven
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: thirty for soccer. Overtime starts with ten players each and
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: then they drop every five minutes. You drop a player
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: until someone scores. Yeah, taxis, drop a defender, drop a midfielder,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: drop a forward. Who do you drop? So you go
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: from eleven on eleven to ten to nine to eight
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: until somebody scores.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: This has been a talking point amongst soccer fans for
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: a long time because most soccer fans hate the shootout
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: as well. Yeah, and then, but the thing is, when
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 6: you play overtime, it's not much happens because they're just
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 6: so safe because they know the shootout is coming. Right,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: So I would like this a lot. It's very similar
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 6: to what Edzo said yesterday when you asked him about
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 6: the three on three. He said, all right, you play
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: the first period five and five. That doesn't, you know,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: have anything happen if second period, four and fourth, third period,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 6: and then pass that on three on three, which I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 6: like two h.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Six, Screw the ghost runner. If you can't handle real
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: extra innings, you don't deserve baseball. I love an eighteen
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: inning game. Signed Chuck Pallain.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: I'm got to with them on that though, because it's
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, how many there's so few and far between.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: Well, here's another one.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: Baseball should play for max three extra innings of still
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: a tie after three extra innings, the game ends in
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: a tie.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: Baseball will never have a game.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: End of the tie.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Never.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every other sport has had ties. The NFL still
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: has ties, college football used to have ties, and hockey
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: used to have ties as well. Yeah, in the single
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: that would be a whole that's like a restructuring of
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: everything in baseball if you went with the tie.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: And the thing about these overtime situations is the reason
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 6: why the NBA and you know, college basketball, it's pretty easy.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: It is because there's so much scoring, right, yes.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: And it's pretty very unlikely you're going to have one
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 6: of those marathon games that continues to have a tie
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 6: after the regular time. But when there's games that are
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 6: less scoring like hockey, soccer, baseball, stuff like that, it's
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 6: it's a lot harder to kind of get it after
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: you know, to the fact.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Again outside the box, thinking here, hockey goes three on three,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: baseball does the extra runner. Yeah, can football do like
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: seven on seven? We can figure out which positions to omit.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: That's from the four, two, five, seven on seven.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: I don't like it.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Well as I think football is still about blocking, but
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: but I like you know what. I like the creativity
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: there seven on seve. There are people that love their
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: seven on seven. Chriss that signed Chris Kid, Yeah, I
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: might have signed Chris Kid actually.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: Wants to fight football as well.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's see uh where what?
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: I like this one? Up here?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, far away?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: The two of six.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: There is only one solution to NHL over time, Like
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the movie Troy, each side bringing out
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: their best fighter or goon.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: Winner gets two points for the team.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: I really like that one.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Four ties go against everything the Constitution and declaration of
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: a dependence stand for.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 6: It's not everyone's favorite concept, but I've gotten used to it,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: so it is what it is.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, let's see three on three is so exciting since
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Nick the whole game should be this way. Joking sort of,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: I've heard people talk about that, Oh I'll just go
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: three on three.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, no, it's not.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: That's a different sport.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: That's a different sport. It's like, like, does anybody watch
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: they watch much of the three on three women's league
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: called Unrivaled.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I actually think it's pretty pretty fun to watch. Personally.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: The court's a little smaller, right, Yeah, still, what's wild
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: about that is it's three on three, but it's full
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: court basketball, right right, I've watched glimpses of it. It's
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I'll just say that, I don't
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: hate it.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: No, it's it's but it's a different sport, Yeah, it is.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: It's a totally different sport.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: Well, that goes to my question earlier, how much do
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 6: you want to change it for over time? Some people
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: don't want it to change it all, and you're fine
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 6: with the marathon games, you know, but if you do
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 6: want to kind of have it end a little bit quicker,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 6: it's like, how much do you want to change.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Eight four three? I don't know where the hell that's
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: at college football got it right before the two point
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: conversion thing? Remember that LSU game that went seven overtimes? Perfect? Well,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: what did Georgia Georgia and Georgia Tech two years ago went,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: I mean god, they went like eight nine overtimes and
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: that was with the two point conversion.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: Do you guys remember that one? Yeah?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Like Haines King, the Georgia Tech quarterback and Carson Beck
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: I think for Georgia, right, and they went toe to toe.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. I mean it was still even though it'
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: from the two and there were times when like okay,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: you know from the two yard line, no nothing, then
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: the other team like they're gonna win this, nope, incomplete pass.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it was crazy, it was wild. Wow, wow, Okay,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: what else we got? I'd rather pay Walker fourteen than
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: JSN forty. Talking about the contracts, I just wanted to get.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 5: That one in really silly.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: The problem in the NFL, the NFL, it's the the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: NFL is a housing market man. The position, much like location,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: determines what you make.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: Well that in the cap is continuing to rise.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: But but my point is is that like the quarterbacks
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: alway gonna be highest paid guys, right, yes, wide receivers
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: have evolved into in large part, probably the second highest
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: paid guys. I love js N, love what he did
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: this year. To hear him after one year say he
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: should be the highest paid receiver in the NFL.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Because his price is only going to go up next year.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: But and so my question is this, if he repeats
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: my question, my question is this, he had an incredible season, right,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Is he justin Jefferson? Is he Jamar Chase Hell?
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 5: I think he's on that level.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: He's just not yet.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 9: I think.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hate on him. Yeah, the last
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: thing I want to do. I'm just saying that those
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: other guys that are that are the highest paid guys
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: in the league, they did it over a number of years, sure,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: including the guy in your own division. And I'm no
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: pukin Nakua fan by any hose, But I like, here's
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: the thing with JSN. JSN has especially towards the end
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: of the year, he'd go a few games with you know,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: minimal receptions, right see, I still won games. Yeah, Like
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: they didn't need him to be great to win. Now,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: maybe that's just a testament to the team, but yeah,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: I I kind of tend to agree. I'd rather pay
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: a Walker fourteen than js N forty. That'd be me
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: some other good ones that we can't read. Let's see great.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you guys slot out of the box
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: in terms of the over time today. I love that.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: That was kind of fun. Okay, a little different fame
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: is going to join us coming up next all already
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: I think Fane joined us right now. Hello, sir, are you?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 7: How are we doing well?
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any complaining about you guys,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: anymore about my one to three shift you had yesterday off.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: You've got an hour and a half show today, an
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: hour and a half show tomorrow. Fella.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: That's that's how I'm doing. How are you a week?
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 7: It's a great week. It's good to be alive.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: Man, It's good.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: You're actually not the one that complain.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 7: God blessed the seattle cracking.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: When I go on the road.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 7: You know, I'm gotta I'm gotta fired.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 15: Up, and that I'm my brain, My sports brain has
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 15: now turned to seattle crack and hockey. Like it's you know,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 15: I got to get through the football season and then
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 15: we have the Olympic break and all that good stuff.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 15: But my I am, I'm fired up about this team.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 15: You know, if they win tonight and everything goes well,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 15: they could potentially be like in sixth, fifth in the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 15: in the conference.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're it is. It's the tightest it's been
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: in a long time. Like it's it's like in both
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: conferences East and the West. Basically there's I'm gonna say,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: just when you start looking at like the like the
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: three seed in the Pacific because the Central's kind of determined, right,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: and then the two wildcard spots. There's basically five teams
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: for maybe three spots, and Seattle is one of those teams.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: And you know, just for the context, in three of
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: the first four years before this year, the Kraken were
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: out of it till December. They were out by December.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 15: There was there was no Kraken season because let's be
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 15: let's be honest. I mean, there are a lot of
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 15: people out there like me, yes, that pay attention to
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 15: the crack and once the Seahawks are done, and if
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 15: the Kraken are done, when the Seahawks are done, then no,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 15: they don't pay attention to the crack.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 7: And from February through April.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: You know, when when I worked in the minors, in
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: minor league hockey for years for teams and especially when
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: I was in the Western Hockey League with Seattle and
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Tri Cities, and I used to when you're in that league,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: you do everything right. And part of one of the
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: things we did is back then, before you know, computers
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: were a bigger thing, we would hand do schedules, have
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: scheduling meetings. And that is, honestly, the quiet, untold little
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: secret in in that league. And I think in a
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: lot of even NHL cities. Now, is hey, the hockey
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: season starts after Christmas? Yes, that's when it starts, is
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: after Christmas. Now, you know in some markets or football
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: team is awful and so maybe it's earlier. Maybe both
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: your football teams college, if you have college team and
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: your NFL team, maybe they're both awful and it's like,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: all right, well, let's let's let's find something else. Right, Yes,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: but hockey season for many in the in this country
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: does start, you know, after the after basically Christmas, maybe
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: after in our football season. I don't know about you
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: guys in your show. I'm going through with stuff with
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Jess right now. Anders, I'm like, damn, we gotta get
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: ready for the draft.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 7: Offseason.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Like part of and part of it is just like
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: like we went so long with our We went longer
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: with our NFL stuff than we ever had before. Like
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: we work in sports radio in seasons too, right, like,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: and the last few years football seasons ended early January.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: This year ended in the middle of February.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 15: World, I mean, we may have like two weeks to
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 15: breathe and instead of two months to breathe.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: That's basically what it is.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 15: And you know the first time I ever realized that
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 15: the the ninety five Mariners. I remember, I mean them
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 15: getting done what like October seventeenth, eighteenth something like that, right,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 15: And and then I just remember spring training starting and
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 15: and I went to spring training that next that next year,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 15: and I was like, my god, it felt like two
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 15: weeks ago when the baseball season got over. And it
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 15: kind of feels like that again this year for the Mariners.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 15: It just like the season just got didn't We didn't
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 15: Bizarro just serve up a bomb like last Tuesday? Really
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 15: well really, you know, yeah, Andy doesn't let and you know,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 15: just when I bring up the Kenny Wheaton interception, so
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 15: I think gets all mad at me too.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: It's just like, guys, I mean.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: Like when you bring that up, I mean it happened,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: like it did it did happen? Well, baseball's even weird
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: too this year, because yes, it seems like just yesterday
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: we were talking about eight outs away, right, And by
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: the way I went, I asked Andrew yesterday and I
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: remember I was sitting there, like when is the first
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: regular season mirror games? Yeah, it's really early, and it's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: March twenty sixth, right, Jeez, is that what it is.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: The earliest traditional MLB opening day in history because.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: March twenty six.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, is there a reason for that?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 6: Me and Ian were speculating because of the World Cup,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 6: they have to fit more games in like and then
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 6: maybe takes.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 15: Because they're gonna take a they're gonna have fewer game
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 15: they got stated period.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 6: They have to kind of like shift it away from
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 6: wherever the games are because they're not playing Mariner games
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 6: in World Cup games at the same time.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 7: So Paul ja for my ignorance, when's the World.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 15: Baseball Classic, It's like next week, okay, so they'll get
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 15: that in and out and the mayor I saw the
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 15: Mariners have like more players than just about anybody.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know the.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: Key with them none of their starting pitchers. That's the key, frankly,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: is a good thing.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: I remember Drew Smiley.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Oh that well, what was your favorite Mariner Drew Smiley
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: moment because there weren't any. Yeah, it wasn't.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 7: It wasn't when he got hurt and blew his arm
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 7: out in the World Baas it.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Was spring training because he never Yeah right, that was that.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: Was Gabe Spires. So we can't not lose that guy.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: That's true, that's but that's the one guy. Yeah, because
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: it's you know, cal fine. Position players don't think you
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: care about right. In fact, I would think of for
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: position players, you probably want guys to play, like getting
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: quality at bats, not against a guy that's pitching in.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 6: This Maybe Julio will actually start hitting at the beginning
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: of the year for this because he'll like be like
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 6: this is like my second or third week instead of
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: my first.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Even this show, even this show, which is the Julio
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez basically pump up show, we love him. We love
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: that guy unlike others. Anders I don't know. Prove it
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: to me, buddy, like, just please take it happen for
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: the first two months of the season, please, just if
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: we could do that?
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: All right, fan, what do you got coming up today?
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: In your a little hour and a half extravagans before
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: and and by the way, get out on time because
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: the captain is lurking around there. Benton's ready to go.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: He will fire it up after three weeks.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 7: I will.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 15: We got Mike Florio coming up in fifty minutes from
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 15: now to at three ten.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna ask.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 15: I'm gonna ask the listeners at the beginning, what what's
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 15: what's the biggest Seahawk worry we have right now? Like,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 15: what's what's the number one thing on the minds of folks.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 15: I'll ask Jackson that and I'll give you my thoughts
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 15: on that. And we we got to talk a little,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 15: you know, you talk about a team that's been forgotten about,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 15: my god, the Husky basketball team. Talk about an entire
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 15: season that's going to go buy in a blink of
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 15: an eye without anybody even noticing. And so I did
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 15: a little I did a little deep dive on the
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 15: Huskies while I was watching the game last night, and
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 15: some some interesting numbers popped out, and I think there's
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 15: some there's some real reason for for optimism for for
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 15: Danny Sprinkle over there at Montlake.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 7: So we'll talk about that coming up at three thirty
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 7: on Man.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: Can can you keep the guy? Can you keep your
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: lottery pick?
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 7: I don't think so. I don't think so. But you
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: know what, they don't use one of the things I mentioned,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 7: they don't use.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 15: Their lottery pick right anyway, So there's there's lots of
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 15: shots being taken by not lottery pick on this team,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 15: which is a little bit of it was a little
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 15: bit of an issue. Petros Papadakas at four o'clock today,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 15: and yes the Captain is gonna fly away with the
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 15: show at at four thirties.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: He's chopping at the trust me all right shows for
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: the mild mannered and marginally objectionable Inverness.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 7: This is paddle day, saying so long everyone,
