  Speaker 2: They're in Seattle as we move into day number two
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: this Tuesday, Super Bowl sixty moving ever so closer, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it feels like the entire sports media is moving ever
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: so closer. There aren't that many people here today, but
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we arrive here at our set. Bucky's surrounded by a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff. Yeah yeah, like a jungle.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of folks, uh yeah, but they they're
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: really big, big sets.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that Ryan Ripkin guy, whoever he is, thinks a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: lot of himself.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, table tablecloth backdrop. Yeah. Here they're bringing the juice. Yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: on their big billboard.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking there's a guy named Juice that might run
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that down. Doubt it's O. J. Simpson.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe we should come up some nicknames you
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and I, you know, Chuck and buck is cool rhymes.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just figured that out after all these years.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, sucking luck.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yea, those are two prominent ones.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Yep, yep, there's another one, I s.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you shuck corners.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and stop. This Game's too early
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: for me to make sure I don't put it out
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: in front of one of these huh so. Yeah, but
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I think we do need to come up some nicknames,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: super Bowl nicknames. I mean, maybe we don't use them
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: beyond this week. I don't know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I think we got to go right out to the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: banner maker and make ourselves look more important. I mean,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: all we gotta is this thing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we've got a little thing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It's like we're selling sandwiches. They're selling radio shows out there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know they sometimes they say less is more.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I can't even see anything out there. I mean I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: used to be able to scan the prairie to see
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: if there were any you know, guess loping, oh you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And now now I can't do that because they put
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: up all their banners. Now it's like I'm in a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: prison of radio show.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Well, one thing is for certain, it's it's not just
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: radio anymore. It's content. It's videos. They have a bad
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: podcast name all over it in order to put a
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: video out.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's a good point. That's why they're doing
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: all of this. Uh but yeah, and then people have
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: put up to get look at this over here. They
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: basically put their own little room lounge, yeah together over here.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: That's changed since last night.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Deal one of them chairs though, if they're not careful.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, of all the people though, let's not steal
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: from this group over here. Yeah, let's get it. Let's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: steal from Bryan Ripkin. He he thinks too much. Don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: have comfy chairs though, those Yeah comfy, that's true. Well
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: for Juice, probably have some really comfy chairs over there. Whoever,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: he is coming for you, Juice, Yeah chairs, yeah, don't
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I'd watch yourself before Bud. Yeah, bring that thank you,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you. So you brought yourself a chair to a gunfight.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: That's what I think happened. A mess around, juice, get
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the big bird.
• 3:49

• 4:00
  Speaker 2: subpar banners today, subpar attention being drawn to ourselves, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: just try to deliver some good radio, you know, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: old fashioned way, like our great grandfathers used to do.
• 4:12

• 4:54
  Speaker 2: We like Delta, and of course us iHeart as we

  Speaker 2: will promote ourselves a lot during the course of the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: broadcast day. And you know, last night was the big
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: media day. I don't even know what they call it anymore.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Jessmin McIntyre went there, so we're gonna hear from her
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on in the show as well.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: None of the rest of us went, And I can
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: tell you Bucky was just following because he's not covered
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a super Bowl before. But SOFTI and I have covered
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: enough of them that we hate that event. So we
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: just we're like, if we don't have to go, we're
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: not gonna go. You want us to go, we'll go.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But if we don't have to go, I'm not gonna go.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit there and wade through a bunch of,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you know, questions about what kind of a fur tree
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: would you be if you could be a fur tree.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not gonna do that just to try
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to snag ninety seconds, you know, with Grey's Abel. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it wasn't mandated that we go. We didn't go, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you know, we will cover. We will discuss the event
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to certainly do uring the course of the show today.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: But I was what I was thinking about this morning
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is I was prepping different topics for the show. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: just listed a bunch of things that people are describing
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: as potential distractions. Everything they think is going to be
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a distraction. Apparently somebody in the Seattle media said the Patriots,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and I think it's foolish. The Patriots leaked false information
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: about the Seahawks sale. Robert Kraft did it, Oh, in
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: order to distract the Seahawks this.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Week, might as well find a conspiracy.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Because I know, I'm sure when you were playing baseball
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that and you were getting ready for a big game,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you would let an unknown ownership situation distract you from
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: your game.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: That Oh yes, I have so much to do with
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: my abs right, so much.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, these guys are in the super Bowl for
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: goodness sake, are are they?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point ownership it's a story for us
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to discuss, but it's not one that Leonard Williams and
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Derek Hall on the bus right over, Like, I don't
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: know if I'm gonna get my all this week. Why
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is that Leonard Well Seahawks ownership.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Is just up in the air, Buddy, paycheck?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we gonna do? Yeah, exactly what. We
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: don't get paid Monday. But that's just an example. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: mean today we've got Craft not getting into the Hall
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of Fame. So Craft and Belichick in the last week
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: have been informed that they didn't get voted in. I mean,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is that a distraction to Drake may oh, probably Bill
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Belichick's Hall of Fame status? I mean, no, that's stuff
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: for us to kick around. That's what all of these
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: banners are up for. That's why Juice thinks so much
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of himself. It's so that you can discuss these things
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: while the professional athletes get ready for the biggest game
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of their lives. I mean Kubiak, I mean, we spent
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of time on that yesterday, and it's a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: big time story, there's no question about it. But I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: think we on this show at least arrived at the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: conclusion that there is no way it's gonna distract Clint
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Kubiak from his play calling on Sunday. And that is
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: actually something that I guess feasibly could if he's just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: can't wait to watch Fernando Mendoza film, and he's working
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: on that when he doesn't think Mike McDonald's watching. I mean,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: maybe that could. And yet I still don't think it's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a distraction. I mean, it's a much to do about nothing,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna play a football game on Sunday. It's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: gonna be the biggest game of nearly every player on
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the field's life. And they're not for one second thinking
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that any of this stuff is a distraction to their
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: pursuit of holding up the Lombardi Trophy.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Well, we can hold we can hope that Robert Kraft
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: maybe went and knocked on Drake May's door after finding
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: out that he wasn't inducted and said, Drake, I don't
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: know what I'm gonna do. And you know, maybe Drake
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: had to put his playbook down for half an hour
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and console the owner.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like all night long, they just drank away Roberts.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: You know what, buddy, you just sit there, I'm gonna
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: pour you a Scotch. Let's get drunk.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean, you know, at the end, they
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: probably came to the conclusion, well, Drake, you know what
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: you you you don't have to worry about us getting
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: new ownership. At least that's a Seahawks player problem. You
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: you just rest assured, young man, you are gonna get
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: paid next week. Those Seahawks guys right now, they have
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: no idea what's gonna happen to their their livelihood.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So, oh yes, and what if it's Bezos. I mean
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: he shut down the Washington Post, He'll just close the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Seahawks down. I'm sure of it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you think another team. I gotta get on the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: horn with my agent. Hopefully another team will pick me
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: up if the Seahawks implode, club shut down for business,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: all right, Yeah, I haven't checked their LinkedIn accounts. They
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: maybe put the banner open to work on their LinkedIn banner.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe all the Seahawks did. If so, that's at least
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: sixty seconds that they could have been prepping up. That's true.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: So you know, we might be under selling this thing.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: We might be just late to the party. I don't
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: think it. I mean the Kubiak thing, there's a possibility, well,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: there's not even a possibility. He is spending some time
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: preparing for interviews. But I don't think that Mike McDonald
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: or Clint Kubiak or anyone in this position is expected
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: to spend twenty four hours a day prepping for the
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl. I think they spend majority of their waking
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: hours thinking about it. But then they have set and
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: they have meetings and schedules, and they're implementing things and
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: putting things into the playbook. And then they have practice,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: which is the most important part, where they're passing on
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: what they think to the guys that are going to
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: be out there actually doing it. I mean, you got
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: to just think about all the times whenever he had
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: anything important, you thought about it in your head. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: yet was there ever a time like I just didn't
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: have enough minutes in the day to think think about
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: it enough. No, if anything, it's exact opposite. Sometimes you
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: gotta go, all right, take a step back, yeah, you know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I mean I got to give myself a little bit
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: of a break so and come back with a fresh
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: set of eyes and my mind renewed. And I think
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that they're gonna they're all going to be coming into
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: this thing, especially in Mike McDonald a team. It's only
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: two years as a head coach, but there's not a
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: whole heck of a lot of people that I've seen
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: in two years establish a culture in the way then
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: there has been some There's been plenty of coaches that
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: came in and made an impact right off the bat.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: But he does feel like he's got this team rocking
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: and rolling and ready to do what they need to do.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a lot of uh. I mean, we
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: just talked to Melissa Charleston yesterday from Fox thirteen and
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: she was kind of asking me about past years on
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Radio Row. And it's been a while since I've been here,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and I will tell you I've covered like six Super
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Bowls before this one. And I do remember a couple
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: of weeks where we thought there were gonna be legitimate
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: distractions Bill Parcells against Mike Holmgren and Bill Parcells. That
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: was the shopping for the grocery super I want to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: shop for my own groceries. That's when that happened. He
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: was getting he was leaving the Patriots. Everybody knew it
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: at the end of the Super Bowl and they lost
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: my four team. Maybe that was a distraction back in
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: that day. I don't know head coach as prominent as
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Bill Parcels being asked every second of every single day
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: about whether or not he was going to leave the Patriots.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe he was angry with the organization, maybe he was
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: looking forward to his new job. Maybe it did lead
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to why they got stomped. But I do remember also
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: covering the Ravens and the Giants, and I had it
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: was one of the great predictions of my entire sports
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: casting career. Like week seven in the season, I watched
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the Ravens play on just an average Sunday afternoon. I'm like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: that's the best team in the National Football League. They're
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: gonna win the Super Bowl. And I started talking about
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: it halfway through the season and man, they just clicked
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: off wins, end up in the Super Bowl. And then
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: like a dope, here I am on Radio Row and
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I start hearing all these stories about all these distractions
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that the Ravens are going through, including ray Lewis he
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: had a little bit of his distraction, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, they're just totally distracted. After weeks
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: of predicting the rape, I switched my pick to the Giants,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and the Ravens go out there and just stomp their
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: ass in the Super Bowl. I mean, it's I would think, Bucky.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've never reached the majors. I've never reached
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the National Football League. I played high school, dabbled a
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: little bit in college. But man, it is just hard
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: for me to believe that anything would knock you off
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: your game when you're getting ready to play in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: World Series or the Super Bowl. I mean, but then again,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine that bulletin board material would have such
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a dramatic effect on professional athletes who compete for a living.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And yet apparently it does, and apparently a dramatic effect
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: on it. And so I just to me, this is
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: fun for us, it's fun for sports fans to talk
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: about it. But to think that any of these stories
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: that we're discussing this week is actually going to impact
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the outcome of the game, I just don't buy it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Well, the fact is, I mean, you're competitive. You've been
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: competitive your whole life. It doesn't matter how far you played.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: If you've more competitive than.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: You No, you're not. No, you are not.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Nuh huh no, sir ma, it's not even close.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Uh. I'm the most competitive of the two. I mean,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: you are competitive, and so you have that kind of
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: running through your veins, and so to me, boltin board
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: material one hundred percent makes sense to me if someone
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: was to come over here and sit up in their
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: little lounge thing here and say, ah, man, these guys
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: don't do radio half as well as we do. Oh, well,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: we turn it up. Not that we don't already have
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: it turned up. Look, but if it's already a ten,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: we'll turn up to eleven to make sure we prove
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: them wrong. That's the peer. That's the people you're gonna
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: actually go head to head with. Yeah, and it's one
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: of those oh you want to say that publicly. Okay, Well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: well we're gonna find out. We're gonna go head to head.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: We're gonna see what's gonna happen. But on the field
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: of play, all of the other stuff is noise. Now,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: it's not that it isn't valid noise. If you're you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: you're on the Seahawks offense and you they're fairly sure
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: that you're going to have a new offensive coordinator, you
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: think about it. It's a thing, but it's not a
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: thing that you're gonna be. I don't know, we should
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: really listen to this guy this week. You're gonna be
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: our coach. What if he's setting us up? Yeah? What
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: if he's trying to, you know, do something under the table,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: you know with the Raiders right now, and he's trying
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: to set me up, teach me something wrong. There's just
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: no part of that. That is the way. There's a
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: professionalism that goes into it. I mean, I think that
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: athletes nowadays, while there's more distractions with social media, more
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: you're you're you're gonna probably have more things said about
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: you that you have the capability of reading, or it
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: can come across your face. I think that they're more
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: trained to let that stuff slide off their back. And
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: back when I was playing, distractions what I mean, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: created them myself, and yet when it came time for
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the game to start, you didn't think about any of
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: that stuff. Matter of fact, that's the beauty of playing
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: sports is all of the noise that's outside. Once it's
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: a game time, you get to flush all that stuff.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Because if you don't flush any of that stuff, then
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: it is counterproductive if you're thinking about something else other
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: than hitting the ball, or in this case, you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: being where you're supposed to be on a football field,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: you're not going to be playing in most of these guys,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: and I wouldn't say one hundred percent. Most of these
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: guys are professional enough that they're going to understand that
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: and be ready to go.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Clint Kubiack, if the if Sam Darnold
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and others are picking up, like Clint Kubiack is not
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: really working as hard as he normally does, maybe that
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: would create a discharge. Maybe that'd throw people off, Like
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: really it would. I know you're getting a new job,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: but really, like we've been in this fight this whole season.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Here we go and you can't just stay focused on
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: being a Sea Awk till Sunday.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that's going to occur.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: There's no way.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I will lend credence to I do
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: like and I think Mike Holmgren would back me up
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: on this based on path conversations that we've had with coach.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I think you need the two weeks they used to.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people for a long time
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: argued about whether or not you need one week or
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: two weeks. Why do we need the two weeks? I
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: do think all of those things, like you're family wanting
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: tickets and Uncle Troy calling you up and seeing if
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: he can bring his new girlfriend to the super Bowl.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: You know that stuff, and you're trying to weed through
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: how many people you've got to accommodate. I think that
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: does take some time. And if you only have one
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: week and that takes away a day, a couple hours,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I do think the two weeks is necessary, the travel,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the extra media that you have to do. I do
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: believe that we'll never go back to one week in
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: between the conference championship games in the super Bowl, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I really do think that the players need it. I
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: think the sport needs it. I think everybody needs it.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: And so I do think that could lead to distractions
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: if your prep time has just been reduced because you're
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: having to do seventeen other things the NFL is asking
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: you to do. But we avoid that by giving you
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: two full weeks to get everything in. And so even
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: that I don't even count as a distraction anymore.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: No, I mean you have to allow the teams that
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: are searching for or for you know, coaches and coordinators.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: You have to allow them to be able to speak
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: to these guys. And yet they implement some rules of
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: we're not going to you know, if you're in the
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: super Bowl, we're not going to let you actually finalize
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: it to where now it is. I mean, if you
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: take another job. Literally, I'm now employed by the Las
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Vegas Raiders, but I'm just fulfilling my duty here. That's
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: where you're starting to create it. The overlap maybe could
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: could cause a little bit more of a distraction. The
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: fact of the matter is everybody that gets to the
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: highest level of any sport or highest level of anything
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: understands that they're just playing as simple as a business.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: It's not just rainbows and skittles and a bunch of
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Kumbaya moments. There's a bunch of things that you have
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: to you know, you have to impress the right people,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and then when you do, then you have to continue
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: to impress them. And then when you find the at
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: the opportunity, you have to continue to impress them. And
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: if there's one thing that you know for sure you
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: mentioned this biggest game of their life, I mean it's
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: gonna be tied for the biggest game of their life.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna ever get a bigger game then the
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: last one of the season being the super Bowl. I mean,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: these guys have been chomping at the bit for this.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: You know, it's the ability to achieve a dream is
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: right there within their grasp, and they're doing everything they
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: possibly can. I if there was ever a point in
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: time in week sixteen seventeen, your body's beat up, you're tired,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: you've been making all this travel, You're playing week after week.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe you had a game on Thursday and then you
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: have a game on Thursday after playing a game on
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Sunday where you feel even less ready to go physically.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: All of that goes out the window because of the
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: two weeks preparation. You want the two best teams to
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: play the most important game to be as healed as possible,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: not still lingering effects from their previous game, hopefully. I
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: think that along with yeah, there's a lot of obligations,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the opening night, the media stuff, the obligations that you
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: have to go out there and do so that the people,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: those that pay the bills get to hear what you're
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: thinking and what you're feeling. All that makes one hundred
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: percent sense, But really what it boils down to it
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: a good coach, which both these coaches and these head
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: coaches that are in this are they're good coaches. They
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: have a way of talking to these guys about yep,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have to do this, We're gonna have to
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: do that. But here's what our main focus is, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: make sure that you get everybody redirected where they're supposed
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: to be going. And I don't think there's gonna be
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: any lean green effects of outside noise.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Bottom line, I don't know how you get to the
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl as a professional football player and let any
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: distraction set itself in. And I don't see why you
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: need any extra motivation than this. So to me, it's like, yeah,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I don't wanna. I don't want the Patriots to lose
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: forty four to seven on Sunday and then say, well,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: if you guys wouldn't have kept asking me about Belichick
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: making the Hall of Fame, we probably would have won
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: this game. Yeah yeah, let's find out what on tap
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the show today, What's on te
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: What's on tech? Super Bowl sixty Sunday at three point thirty,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and you can listen to it right here at Sports
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM with Kevin Harlan on
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: the call Westwood one. So yes, just to settle in
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: for a day with your favorite radio station and your
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: favorite football game. The Pro Bowl is tonight. A more
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: worthless endeavor has never existed. So if you want to
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: watch that nonsense, feel free. I'm warning you in advance.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want you to get Wednesday and say Chuck
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: didn't tell me. I told you. Now ignore it. Drake
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: may he says his shoulder is fine. He said the
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: plane ride to San Francisco, healed it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: That's a lie.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: The head coaching cycle has come to a close. Sam
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Darnold put on a ham hat last night, so we'll
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: probably try to figure out a way to talk about
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: that today. Anybody putting on a ham hat before the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl is pretty relaxed. Roger Goodell, he spoke yesterday
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: about the eighteen game schedule, the Rooney rule and how
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: it did not im packed. It looks like the head
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: coaching cycle and again more topics that we can discuss today,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and the Seahawks sale as well. Roger Goodell said, there's
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: no truth.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: To the.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Story that I find the Seahawks over the lack of
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: a Seahawks sale. We'll talk about a lot of these things.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Mike Sando, Hugh Mill. I'm going to join us today
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: at nine o'clock together. Greg Bell's going to be with
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: It's at seven oh five today to discuss those things.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Cracking in action tonight against the Ducks in Anaheim seven o'clock.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: The NBA trade deadline is in just three days. I
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: think it's either going to be phenomenal or crickets, and
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's going to be any middle
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: road there. And of course, the Mariners pulled off the
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: trade we've been waiting for them to make all off season.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Brendan Donovan is now a member of the Seattle Mariners
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and a trade that sent Jerangelo sinccy, also Ty Pete,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: another prospect, and Ben Williamson out of Seattle in order
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to get Brendan Donovan. We're gonna talk more about it next.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I know it's super Bowl week, but this is a
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: significant trade and Bucky and I are baseball dudes. Sports
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. It's also a cracking
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: ticket Tuesday. Sorry, I didn't mention that every hour we'll
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: be giving away tickets to an upcoming cracking game and
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: they will be in action. Tonight's take on the cracking
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: and assume me. The Ducks, the Anahem Mighty Ducks in
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Anaheim at seven o'clock. But we also had a major trade,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: one that we've been waiting on all off season, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: so even though it's Super Bowl week, it certainly cracks
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the agenda of topics of discussion here today, as the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Mariners did acquire Brendan Donovan finally from the Saint Louis
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Cardinals yesterday, and they gave up a significant package in
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: order to get him, giving away Ben Williamson and then
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: two good prospects, maybe not our best, thank goodness, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: two really good prospects, Jeronzelo Saint Gi also Ty Pete,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: who is a guy that I kind of was looking
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: forward to seeing his progress through the minor league system.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: And then also the Tampa Bay Rays even had to
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: throw in a piece plus a draft pick compensation. So
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Brendan Donovan ended up going for a pretty sizable package,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: but Bucky not nearly the package that Cardinal fans and
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Cardinal podcasters were suggesting that Brendan Donovan is worth. So
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: that makes Mariner fans, I think, feel a lot better
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Considering some of the names that were being thrown out there.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, these fools were like Carl Rowley and Julio Rodriguez.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: What else are you gonna give us, and it ends
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: up being Saint Gie and Pete and Ben Willilliamson in
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: a draft pick in exchange for Brendan Donovan.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: What'd you think of the deal? I liked it. But
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: then again, to me, it's I don't I have a
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: hard time putting a bunch of high praise or a
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: price tag or value on somebody that hasn't played even
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: double a baseball I mean, it's it's you can see stuff,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: you can project it, you can say, oh, look what
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: it could be. And yet it's it's quite possible that
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: neither none of these kids that are going to the
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Cardinals are going to be great. Now, Brendan Donovan is
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: not necessarily great, but he is most certainly a piece
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: at the highest level that has proven he's highly capable
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: of certain things. Right, He's not gonna be the next cowrole,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: He's not going to be Huli Rodriguez, but he can
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: play a bunch of different positions. He gets on base well,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: he's just kind of a guy that, you know, a
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: lot of the deeper stats kind of say, this is
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: a guy that helps you win ball games. This is
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: the guy that puts in positions to win and score
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: more runs. And so I mean I like the I
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: was not super high on Durangelo. I was not there
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: is there was red flags when it comes to TYPEE
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: now Typete, I think being both these guys are young,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: but TYPEE twenty years old, got some serious power, but
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: strikes out at like over a thirty percent clip in
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: a ball. That's a tough one for me. Now you
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: can obviously from at twenty years old, I was still
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: in college. If you were to put me in professional baseball,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I'd have struck out more than that, and eventually I
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: learned how to put the ball in play better. So
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I wouldn't write him off and be
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: like I don't like him. So it's a great trade.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I would just say, you're getting a proven commodity. You're
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: getting something that you know is capable of helping your
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: big league team for a couple projects. And so it
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: could come out in the wash that Ben Williamson goes
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: on and has a you know, learns to to you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: be more impactful at the dish, and we know what
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: he does defensively, that he has a great career for
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Rays, and these other two youngsters go
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: on and have great careers and you look back at
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: it and go, we lost that trade. But right now,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I think you definitely got what you know is more
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: of a solid piece to help your team this year,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: try to get over the hump and get two World
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Series and possibly win it.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I think it's more than I would have given up
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: for him. I mean, if I just look at the trade,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I don't look. I mean, it's a he's a good player,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: he does not have power, he does not have speed,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and he doesn't have a defined position. And so for me,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: like I don't know if Brendan Donald, I mean that
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: kind of trade usually four prospects and two draft picks
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: and between the in the second round. I mean, that's
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the type of trade that you usually give for us
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: bona fyte star at the trading deadline. So I think
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: that they did give up too much. And you know,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I think that the Cardinals probably did win the trade.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: And I think most of what I'm reading that's the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: reaction pretty much across baseball.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: That said, we have.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Been at asking this team to make win now moves
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: for a while now, and it took them a while
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: to start making them. And now they seem to be
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: truly convinced that, yeah, that's where we're at as an organization.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: It took them a little while, but they seem to
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: be truly convinced now that we're making moves to win
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a World Series. Here, we're in our world series window
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: right now, and this makes you better right now, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: it makes you better next year. So yeah, I'd just
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: signed off on it. If somebody would have handed it
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: over to me, I'd say, ah, that's a pretty good
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: deal for the Cardinals, but makes us better piece that
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: we need. We need this guy, So I would have
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: signed off on that. So from that standpoint, I'd say,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I say, job, well done, and I'll and and look,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not that big a I think I've said throughout
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the offseason. Brendan Donovan is an asset. He would be
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: a nice addition to the Seattle Mariners and would help
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: them get even further in the playoffs. But there are
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of people out there that are huge fans
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: of this player, and clearly our general manager and our
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: president are two of those people. I mean, this was
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: their number one target this offseason. They clearly liked him
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a lot better than Geno Suarez because they could have
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: had Gino Suarez on a one year, fifteen million dollar
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: deal without giving up any prospects, and they decided, no,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: we like this better. So they right now. I mean,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you they did some celebrating last night, because
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: this was a long process to pull this thing off
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and they got the guy that they circled that they
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: wanted to get this offseason.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I suppose the way I mean, we've sat here for
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: nearly a decade, you and I do in the show,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: and here are a lot of people that are very
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: critical of the Mariners as an organization, the front office
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: falling in love with the prospects. They don't want to
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: make moves, they won't do anything free agency. Well, they're
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: hamstrung to some degree in what their ownership wants them
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: to do in free agency. They they don't want to
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: go out and spend some two two hundred and three
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: hundred nowadays five hundred seven hundred million dollar contract on guys. Fine,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: but then you have to build it from within, and
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: you can't then clutch those like your most precious pearls
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: because you don't have enough room for all the prospects
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues. So you have to at one
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: point end up shifting gears. You have to Okay, what
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: do I want? And you focus on what do they
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: bring to the table, what's the positives? While you acknowledge
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: and recognize not a power guy, Brandon Donovan, not a
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: fast guy, Brendan Donovan, not a master of anything when
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: it comes to defense. But he's a jack of all trades,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: master of none type of guy. Yes, And on the
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: flip side of it, then when you start picking through
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: they're sifting through your prospects, you're like, you were not
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: getting Kate Anderson, don't even Emerson, No, you're not even
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: just last to keep their names out of your mouth. Yeah, okay,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: you don't even think about it. Now you want to
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: talk about Ben Williamson. Okay, he's more than just a prospect.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: He's a guy that's proven he can play one side
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: of the game at the big league level. And yet
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: there is for sure red flags about how hard he
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: hits the ball or lack thereof, and if he's going
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: to turn into something. And then the other two guys,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: they haven't even played above a ball And you can say, okay,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: switch pitcher. But now we were thinking about just moving
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: him to just a right handed pitcher, and he doesn't.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: He's not a top level guy just with one arm.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: It was the intrigue with him, not that he's like
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: not good and can't be a good big leaguer just
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: right handed, But the intrigue was the reason he was
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: the first round of what could you possibly do with
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: this guy? You can throw with both arms and then
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: type it. It's like you got to look at Okay, Yeah.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: The reason that they're interested, the reason that they took
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: him is he's twenty years old and he has serious power.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: If he figures out out how to put the barrel
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: on the ball more often, he might be a real
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: big piece of this team. He might be the steel
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: of the whole draft, of this whole trade. If he doesn't,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: he's not going to be a big league player for anyone.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: And so you have to be like, yeah, we've built
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the farm system so we can use it for a
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: piece like this, and this is a piece that basically
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the bottom line is what you just said, as well,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: you are better now at a big league level, even
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: though you maybe gave up more than what he's.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Worth, or more than you even wanted to. Maybe my
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: guess is Suarez was either Plan B, maybe even planed C.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: And then once Plan B and Plan C went I
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: think the Mariners finally went to the Cardinals and gave
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: through in a little bit more because in the very
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: next day after losing Suarez, finally the Donovan thing gets cemented.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Cardinals I don't think gained they did.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: They gained a little bit of leverage. I don't think
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: they called up the next day like, Okay, we'll take
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the deal you've given us. They probably did throw it,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: probably sweetened it after Gino came off the board as
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: a backup plan to what they were thinking about doing.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: The last thing I should mention and we will try
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: to talk about this more later on in the show.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I really do think spring training this is also is
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: a move that won't impede the progress of Colt Emerson,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: the top prospect on the organization. I think spring training
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: is really going to be a battle between Colt Emerson
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: and Cole Young to be an opening day starter for
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: this team on the infield, and the addition of Donovan
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: means that Donovan can play third or second, whichever one
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't end up winning that job in the spring and
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: if both of them ball out, and if both of
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: them end up early in the season in your starting lineup,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: then Donovan has the flexibility. He could even play left.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: He could turn into that ben Zobris super utility type
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: that is in the lineup every day but doesn't play
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: the same position every day. He could be that for you.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: And he could also be your DH of course, which
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: is another avenue that they could go down. But finally
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: it's done. The Mariners have Brendan Donovan Adam to the lineup.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if anyone's disputing that the Mariners
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: got better yesterday for twenty twenty six. So we'll try
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: to find some time talk more about it later on
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: in the show. And Anders and I did a stove
• 33:57

• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Have you been able to take in this moment at all?
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: A little bit slowly, just a little bit, just because
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: you know, I don't know. I've been taking a day
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: at a time. It's being on my feet at man.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: I feel like whenever you just overthink so much, you
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: make the moment so much bigger than it was supposed
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: to be, rather than when you just soak in the
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: moment and just take it for what it is, then
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: it just makes it a lot better.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: And I feel like that's why I've been doing It's
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: a blessing.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: A little minute by minute. That's pretty nice.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: There's been a lot of parallels drawn between your defense
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: and obviously the twenty thirteen twenty fourteen legion of Boom.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: But I'm just wondering if you guys seem to have
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: a different swag.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: It's not as it's just different. How would you describe it?
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I just feel like it just kind of, you know,
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: this way is kind of flying tune, you know, just
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: some new GM swag a little bit. But it's crazy
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: to you know, even being talked with that group, you
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: know that they such legends and to be able to
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: you know, be be able to be legendary just like
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: that group is pretty cool. And as we continue every
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: day to strive to be better or greater than those guys,
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: you know, it shows on.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Sunday we saw a really nice social media exchange between
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: you and Nick emon Moury after obviously brothers are going
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: to have some issues on the sideline with each other.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: What does it mean to have a rookie like that
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: be show leadership in that moment?
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Honestly, it is just pretty cool just because man, he's
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: a young player. He's gonna be great and you know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: for two players like that and we on the same mission,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: we be two great players. So you know, in that situation,
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: everybody wanted to be off the Filia who Now, you know,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: I made a great play. And sometimes whenever you celebrate,
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: you'll celebrate with your team, and that's why I should
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: have done. But you know, those things gotta happen if
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: you want to be a great team. There is no
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: great team where there's no tension. And if you let
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: that attention get to you, then you're a week team.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: So that's very well said. Okay, did the NFL say
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: that they still love you though?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, I don't care too much, just because
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: whatever you do, people gonna have their opinion. They gonna say, oh,
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: you could have done this, you can do something right,
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: and they could. They could still be like, oh you
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: could have done it this way.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: So you know, if you love me, you love me.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: And then if you switch up on me, damn, you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, it don't really matter because I mean, the
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: all the real ones they'll still be here.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: Well, it was a very good meme. It was a
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: very good meme. Usage just so you know me.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: I'm good with memes. I got a lot of means
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: and gifts. Said up, I'm one of those guys. I
• 37:37

• 37:38
  Speaker 5: a favorite favorite meme? I have to go it's a
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: juiceky meme.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: He go like it's like this, like he pointing at himself.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: It's a juicky meme. I wish I had it, but literally,
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: it's so funny because it's like it's like one of
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: those things where like, oh, how can I use it
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: an example?
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: Hmm, believe in yourself. If he's pointing at himself, maybe
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: that's the message.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: You know, we can say that, we can. We're gonna
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: use it as that, damn for sure.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll go with that out. Thank you so much,
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: and best of luck. We'll be rooting for you in Seattle.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: Rig all right, Gus, I'll send it back to you.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Jasmine Mcatyre at Opening Night with Reek Wool And I
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: don't know what category I belong in Reek's piles of people.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm one of the fu then guys,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: or if I'm the I can move on from it, guys,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know where I am. I'm guessing he's not
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: going to invite me to the club because I did
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: have a problem with what he did. But I'm also
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: not one of those guys. It's like, this guy's got
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: to be benched for the Super Bowl. No, I want
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: him to play, and I don't want anything hanging over
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: his head from the events that could have cost the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Seahawks the conference championship game. But I'm ready to move on.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I'm ready to forgive and forget with Reek. But it's
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: only because we won.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know where i'd be either. I think
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: I'm in the probably in f you. But it's not
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: because I don't think you should play. It's that I
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily trust you will learn your lesson. Oh he
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: hasn't learned it. It's not your first time, it's probably
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: not your last time, and so it's one of those Yeah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I want you to play. You're the best, one of
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: the best options out there. You're the best option. You
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: should be out there playing and go out there and
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: make good plays and hopefully it's recent enough that you
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: don't have a reoccurrence in the Super Bowl that costs
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: your team the chance of winning a Lombardi Trophy. That said,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: there's still part of me that's just like, yeah, there's
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: times when your your agenda is bigger than what the
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: team needs, and I don't trust that.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: It's very clear he hasn't learned his lesson, so yeah,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: there's no lesson learned there. But all right, excellent stuff
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Jessmon and Rike Wohlan. We'll also hear from Nicky Munoori
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: later in the show as well. Greg Bell's going to
