- 1:17Speaker 4: Krakens all that fun stuff. But we do this every year.
- 1:20Speaker 1: We come down here, and you know, Mark was asking
- 1:23Speaker 1: me about some things and Stokes and Beach and all
- 1:25Speaker 1: those and you know, I just, first of all, I
- 1:28Speaker 1: just I'm I'm always happy and thrilled that we're able
- 1:31Speaker 1: to do this as a radio station.
- 1:32Speaker 4: I think it's really cool, you know.
- 1:34Speaker 1: And I listen, we like to take little jabs at
- 1:37Speaker 1: other people in the competition and stuff. I think this
- 1:40Speaker 1: is one of the things that makes us unique, not
- 1:44Speaker 1: just in this market and maybe across the country. And listen,
- 1:47Speaker 1: I know you're listening right now. You want to get
- 1:48Speaker 1: to Seahawks talk. We'll get to that. We have Corbyn
- 1:50Speaker 1: coming up at two o'clock today. I get that we'll
- 1:52Speaker 1: get to some of that and hear in this segment too.
- 1:55Speaker 1: But you know, for those of us who grew up
- 1:56Speaker 1: around here, the state tournament is a big deal. It's
- 1:59Speaker 1: a fun thing and there's a lot I'm telling you
- 2:01Speaker 1: right now. The big stations in Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
- 2:04Speaker 1: La Denver, those places, they're not doing this now. They're
- 2:07Speaker 1: not at the state high school tournament. And it's cool
- 2:09Speaker 1: for us. We come down here. People say, hey, we
- 2:10Speaker 1: love listening to we like having you guys on. It's
- 2:12Speaker 1: cool to have you down here. And I think it's
- 2:14Speaker 1: an important thing we do. I think it's an important
- 2:15Speaker 1: part of the community. You're as a radio station, you
- 2:18Speaker 1: have a I believe, a commitment and a responsibility to
- 2:21Speaker 1: the community, and so coming down here and supporting the
- 2:23Speaker 1: boys and girls in these tournaments is awesome. I think
- 2:25Speaker 1: that Tacobo Dome's cool for it. There's people to complain
- 2:27Speaker 1: about it, but if you haven't been down here. They
- 2:29Speaker 1: split the two courts in half, boys on one side,
- 2:32Speaker 1: girls on the other until the finals on Saturday, but
- 2:35Speaker 1: they split it off with a big black curtain. It's
- 2:37Speaker 1: always loud, there's always stuff going on. It's a cool atmosphere.
- 2:40Speaker 1: If one game's a blowout on the boys side or
- 2:42Speaker 1: the girls side, and you can flip over and watch
- 2:44Speaker 1: the other one if you're a hoops fan. And guys,
- 2:46Speaker 1: we have a lot of basketball fans. Despite what Adam
- 2:49Speaker 1: Silver and the Wrestles dipsticks up in the NBA officers
- 2:51Speaker 1: think we got a lot.
- 2:52Speaker 4: It's a great basketball community. You're a basketball fan.
- 2:54Speaker 1: This place to be this weekend today games go tell
- 2:57Speaker 1: about nine or ten o'clock tonight, Tomorrow semi final day
- 3:00Speaker 1: is a ton of fun and then the finals coming
- 3:02Speaker 1: up on Saturday.
- 3:03Speaker 4: So we're thrilled to be here. Awesome to be here.
- 3:05Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that with Todd Millis in just
- 3:07Speaker 1: a couple of seconds. Corvin Smith's gonna join us at
- 3:10Speaker 1: two o'clock today. Man oh man, Yeah, yeah, I almost
- 3:18Speaker 1: wanted to do it as a topic. Hell, I could
- 3:19Speaker 1: probably do this as a text message or a text
- 3:22Speaker 1: question today. I'm down, already down with that. Yeah, as
- 3:25Speaker 1: the kids say, you're down with it. Yeah, just don't
- 3:27Speaker 1: call me unk. Don't call me unk please. The you know,
- 3:34Speaker 1: Mark brought it up Walker in rashichi he because that's
- 3:37Speaker 1: the story coming out now. Rashi Hi Heat's far away
- 3:40Speaker 1: in terms of where they want them and what they
- 3:41Speaker 1: want and all those things. I think all along we
- 3:46Speaker 1: kind of felt like the biggest thing you're gonna see
- 3:48Speaker 1: lose they're gonna lose for this team would be Mafe
- 3:50Speaker 1: and probably won it. It feels now more. Well, first
- 3:57Speaker 1: of all, let's not believe anything until we get to Monday. Yeah, okay, okay,
- 4:00Speaker 1: lots and lots can happen before Monday. And I know
- 4:04Speaker 1: Monday is not the day they signed, but then Monday's
- 4:06Speaker 1: the day people started bring the deals. So let's wait
- 4:08Speaker 1: till Monday. A lot can happen. But that being said,
- 4:13Speaker 1: this is also a situation where right now, if you
- 4:19Speaker 1: just listen to and look at and believe every report
- 4:22Speaker 1: out there, what the Anders just said is kind of true.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Are they bringing anybody back? I guess maybe Joe right,
- 4:30Speaker 1: I haven't heard his name mentioned. I mean, I haven't
- 4:34Speaker 1: heard his name mentioned, but so maybe that's the only one.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I don't know. It's I felt all along like Mafey
- 4:40Speaker 1: and Wollen were gone, Walker was probably they had a
- 4:43Speaker 1: decent chance to bring him back. I never I've never
- 4:45Speaker 1: thought that they wouldn't bring back Rashiici heat. I'm just
- 4:48Speaker 1: going by the blueprint of John Schneider. Yeah, it's the
- 4:51Speaker 1: Leonard Williams Ernest Jones playbook. That's what you do. Trade
- 4:55Speaker 1: in season, give up a lot. People get mad, and
- 4:57Speaker 1: they say, that's fine. Here's what we get. We get
- 4:59Speaker 1: this guy signed to a long term deal. It still
- 5:01Speaker 1: could happen. Remember to one thing. I didn't hear Florio
- 5:06Speaker 1: yesterday with Softy and Fame, but I'm guessing he addressed this.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Mike Floria, I love my guy. Rapaport. Schefter Pellisera was
- 5:15Speaker 1: on with us during Super Bowl week.
- 5:17Speaker 4: He was awesome.
- 5:19Speaker 1: You know all those guys, Schefter, everybody, all those they
- 5:21Speaker 1: all have the breakings. Remember where they all get that
- 5:24Speaker 1: stuff from this time of the year. They're getting stuff
- 5:28Speaker 1: from agents. Their job, And I thought Florio did a
- 5:32Speaker 1: really good job of calling out Adam Schefter, Schefter's job
- 5:38Speaker 1: and those other guys I mentioned as well. It's dependent
- 5:42Speaker 1: on getting information a lot of times from agents. Jordan
- 5:45Speaker 1: Schultz is the king of that. He buys guy's dinners
- 5:47Speaker 1: and does everything that's anti journalism you can ever think of,
- 5:52Speaker 1: puts them up in the house in New York and
- 5:53Speaker 1: all those things. Howard's kid, But that's how they get information,
- 5:56Speaker 1: they have great contacts to agents. Agents also have an
- 5:58Speaker 1: Agenda's got an agenda? Right, got an agenda? What's your agenda? Well,
- 6:03Speaker 1: my agenda is make sure my client gets the most
- 6:05Speaker 1: possible money.
- 6:06Speaker 4: How do I do that?
- 6:06Speaker 1: Create a market if there isn't one already there, or
- 6:08Speaker 1: if there's a market there, create a bigger market.
- 6:10Speaker 4: That's what they're doing.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And they use these guys as mouthpieces, and they tweet
- 6:14Speaker 1: this and say that, and instagram this and all those
- 6:17Speaker 1: things pop out. So you don't know what to believe.
- 6:21Speaker 1: All those guys could indeed be gone. Certainly it could happen,
- 6:25Speaker 1: but at the same time, we got Monday to happen
- 6:30Speaker 1: and we don't know what's being pumped. I just find
- 6:32Speaker 1: it hard to believe Rashid shi heat. I really like
- 6:35Speaker 1: him as a player. He's an okay receiver, he's a
- 6:39Speaker 1: great return man. Is he worth eight figures a year.
- 6:43Speaker 2: And he's asking for close to twenty twenty million?
- 6:47Speaker 1: I just that's based on tape from a game, a
- 6:49Speaker 1: Thursday night game in a playoff game, right right? I
- 6:53Speaker 1: just but I think it brings us, it does beg
- 6:56Speaker 1: a good You can only have one question.
- 6:58Speaker 4: I mean, it's a it's a great one. Mark.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Can I stumble across this in cross stock? It's a
- 7:02Speaker 1: great You can only have one and it's really simple.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Is it Walker or Rashid chi Heat. I'll tell you
- 7:08Speaker 1: right now. I thought before you were never gonna have
- 7:12Speaker 1: Woolen and Job, and I still I think we all
- 7:15Speaker 1: believe that's not gonna happen. Right, You're not gonna have both.
- 7:18Speaker 1: But I didn't think you know, you're choosing between one
- 7:20Speaker 1: of the other. And you're probably choosing Job because he's cheaper,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and that's fine. And at at one point this season Wolan.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Got benched and Joe went in and replaced him.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Well, and that gives you the chance to bring back
- 7:28Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant too if you did Job.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:30Speaker 1: But but I didn't ever think we'd be choosing between
- 7:33Speaker 1: Walker and and and Rashidi Heat.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Now I say choosing, are they really doing that?
- 7:39Speaker 5: Well?
- 7:39Speaker 4: In a sense, you're choosing between all your players.
- 7:41Speaker 1: It's money, yeah, because you have a salary cap and
- 7:44Speaker 1: you can only if it's a budget, what can you afford? So, man,
- 7:50Speaker 1: you can only have one Walker or Rashi hi Heat.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I think you can make an argument for both, like
- 7:55Speaker 1: a strong one for both. Ken Walker, sure, but Rashid
- 8:01Speaker 1: shi Heat is a guy that can literally with one
- 8:04Speaker 1: touch of the football change a game that I don't
- 8:08Speaker 1: think he's worth eight figures though, But I don't know
- 8:11Speaker 1: what the market is. The market it's we've talked about.
- 8:13Speaker 1: It's the housing market all over again. Is a is
- 8:17Speaker 1: a twelve hundred square foot rambler with a basement that
- 8:23Speaker 1: you hit your head on if you're over six feet
- 8:25Speaker 1: tall and plumbing that was put in in nineteen twenty five.
- 8:29Speaker 1: That's in Ballard and it's next to a homeless encampment.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Is that really worth one point five million dollars? Well,
- 8:34Speaker 1: the Seattle housing market might say it is. Yeah, it
- 8:37Speaker 1: makes no sense. I wouldn't live there, but you know
- 8:39Speaker 1: that's what it might be worth. It's all about location,
- 8:42Speaker 1: and that's what it is. Well, this is all about
- 8:45Speaker 1: whatever the supply of the demand is. Does it say
- 8:47Speaker 1: that this guy is worth that?
- 8:48Speaker 4: Maybe?
- 8:49Speaker 6: Well, and the demand has to do with the location
- 8:51Speaker 6: where he just was on a Super Bowl winning team.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Well, and what he and what he did and what
- 8:55Speaker 1: he did for that team. Oh my god, I think
- 8:57Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's it's it's not so much it's
- 9:00Speaker 1: not so much that he.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Just won or was on a winning team.
- 9:05Speaker 1: That he made to He made some plays that changed
- 9:07Speaker 1: change games, and it was on a big stage. But
- 9:10Speaker 1: it's not like NFL teams aren't scouting every single play
- 9:12Speaker 1: of every single player in the league. It just was magnified.
- 9:15Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, he's a bigger name.
- 9:17Speaker 1: He's a guy that was talking about. Yes, I'm listen.
- 9:22Speaker 1: The DJ More trade today surprised me that that I
- 9:26Speaker 1: always think you can't have enough weapons.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Well, and that's one of the suitors for Rashia. Now
- 9:30Speaker 2: that just got a receiver.
- 9:32Speaker 3: So but.
- 9:34Speaker 1: You know, like, is I mean, what's Cable Williams saying
- 9:37Speaker 1: at the same time, are they going, well, listen, we
- 9:38Speaker 1: got a Doonesday, we got burden. We maybe don't have
- 9:41Speaker 1: enough balls to go around for these guys. I would
- 9:43Speaker 1: also counter with, well, I mean he's been hurt a lot, right,
- 9:48Speaker 1: So I listen, this market's gonna be crazy. It's kind
- 9:52Speaker 1: of like we're talking about tomorrow will be out of CACI.
- 9:54Speaker 1: What what that market is? There's nobody available apparently worthwhile
- 9:58Speaker 1: in the NHL trade market. Although I'll tell you right now,
- 10:00Speaker 1: this guy better do some. We'll talk about that at
- 10:01Speaker 1: one forty five. Ye. But all that said, four nine,
- 10:04Speaker 1: four to five one, if you can only have one
- 10:05Speaker 1: Rashiici heat Ken Walker, who is it? Four nine four
- 10:08Speaker 1: to five one, I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make
- 10:10Speaker 1: a hard case against Walker a little bit later on,
- 10:14Speaker 1: so I think you can make a case against him.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And I'll use a comp from the pass for the
- 10:18Speaker 1: Seahawks as well. Okay, but well we'll get to that
- 10:21Speaker 1: four nine, four to five one. That is Tacoma Dodge
- 10:23Speaker 1: text one. All right, we'll take a break.
- 10:24Speaker 4: Come back. Our guy Minnie Hats Millis. Todd Millis is

- 11:10Speaker 1: every year. I mentioned this earlier. This is one of
- 11:12Speaker 1: the cool things I like that we do as radio station.

- 11:27Speaker 1: basketball state.
- 11:29Speaker 4: So if you're out and about, come on down. Listen.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I know everybody wants the NBA back, and it's a
- 11:33Speaker 1: down year for the college teams not named Gunzag in
- 11:36Speaker 1: our state. Get all that. You want to watch some
- 11:38Speaker 1: fun basketball with a lot of emotion, come on down.
- 11:40Speaker 1: It's coming to him this weekend. It's a ton of fun.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm joined right now byna I'm gonna say.
- 11:45Speaker 4: Old friend because we're both getting older.
- 11:47Speaker 1: But an old guy held friend that I've known for
- 11:48Speaker 1: many years when I first moved back up here to
- 11:51Speaker 1: my home state. Todd Millis for many years with the
- 11:55Speaker 1: News Tribune and now on his own. He's got a
- 11:57Speaker 1: really cool website called Varsity Washington. Varsitywandnews dot com is
- 12:02Speaker 1: a website I know.
- 12:04Speaker 4: If you're a parent, a fan of high.
- 12:06Speaker 1: School sports, football in the fall, basketball, this is the
- 12:09Speaker 1: thing you got to go get subscriptions to.
- 12:10Speaker 4: It's cool.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that as well as it goes on.
- 12:13Speaker 1: But many hats Millis, my friend, How are you?
- 12:17Speaker 8: I think I told somebody that if this is the
- 12:22Speaker 8: best long long day week of the whole high school season,
- 12:29Speaker 8: only second to if I could play three rounds of
- 12:31Speaker 8: pebble Beach in one.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Day, you'd probably feel the same afterwards.
- 12:38Speaker 8: Yeah, I probably would. I would be so exhausted I
- 12:40Speaker 8: would probably just cloup. I mean, it's an exhilarating week,
- 12:42Speaker 8: but it's an exhausting week to Ian.
- 12:44Speaker 3: As you know.
- 12:46Speaker 8: I cannot believe we did this fifteen years ago where
- 12:49Speaker 8: it was a sixteen team tournament in back to back
- 12:52Speaker 8: weeks and the Takomao. I must have been in my
- 12:55Speaker 8: twenties or something to be able to is that when
- 12:57Speaker 8: they change the format, yeah, sixteen years ago, it's something
- 13:00Speaker 8: along those lines. It's almost two decades. It's funny because
- 13:05Speaker 8: the coaches constantly want the sixteen team tournament to come back,
- 13:09Speaker 8: and I just I don't know why, Like nobody's here
- 13:11Speaker 8: for Constellation games except parents and cheerleaders and stuff.
- 13:15Speaker 3: But I kind of like the format now.
- 13:18Speaker 8: But it's it's pretty amazing to have done that twenty
- 13:23Speaker 8: years ago, back to back weeks.
- 13:25Speaker 4: It's wild to you think about it.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Tell people about the format now, because I know that
- 13:28Speaker 1: a lot of people do still think of it, like, oh,
- 13:30Speaker 1: it must be sixteen teams. Don't know it starts on Wednesday,
- 13:32Speaker 1: ends on Saturday. What is a format for the boys
- 13:34Speaker 1: and girls in this south, Well, it's a two so
- 13:36Speaker 1: it's a two week tournament. They brought in the regional
- 13:38Speaker 1: round it's probably going on ten twelve years now, where
- 13:42Speaker 1: you have one game to get into the destination site.
- 13:46Speaker 1: So that's sort of the round of sixteen, right, So
- 13:49Speaker 1: you have to win and either you're a protected seed
- 13:52Speaker 1: in the top eight and you play each other just
- 13:54Speaker 1: for just to see if you play Wednesday or Thursday.
- 13:56Speaker 1: But you're automatically going to the tacomaom Yakamama Valley, Sundome
- 14:00Speaker 1: uh Kenarina.
- 14:00Speaker 8: And then there's the bottom half. They're playing for their
- 14:03Speaker 8: lives to get one of the last four spots. That's
- 14:05Speaker 8: the regional round, and then here we are Wednesday, it's
- 14:08Speaker 8: the round of twelve. Today we have the quarterfinals and
- 14:11Speaker 8: then obviously the semi finals on Friday and the championship
- 14:14Speaker 8: on Saturday, which is obviously a great close to a
- 14:18Speaker 8: really good tournament.
- 14:19Speaker 1: It's a ton of I mean just walking around the
- 14:20Speaker 1: concourse earlier today and just looking around. I mean, the
- 14:22Speaker 1: crowds are great. People come and go throughout the day
- 14:25Speaker 1: watching games. Marquee game was this morning and in a
- 14:27Speaker 1: lot of sense is probably with Odam Beach beating for
- 14:29Speaker 1: the fifth time, although Beach runs away with it in
- 14:31Speaker 1: the second half. I think for people that don't understand
- 14:34Speaker 1: that to Koma Dome, and I'm just talking three and
- 14:36Speaker 1: four a boys and girls, I know because my son
- 14:38Speaker 1: played college or high school basketball and there their mantra
- 14:43Speaker 1: every year was just two words to Koma Dol like
- 14:46Speaker 1: this is the This is very much like if you're
- 14:49Speaker 1: a college player, you want to if you're.
- 14:51Speaker 4: A Kansas or whatever, it's different.
- 14:52Speaker 1: But if you're a college basketball player, you have your
- 14:55Speaker 1: thoughts on one thing. March Madness, field of sixty four
- 14:59Speaker 1: or sixty eight whatever it is, so that's what you're
- 15:01Speaker 1: thing is, let's get into the dance. If you're a
- 15:03Speaker 1: high school basketball player in the state, your whole thought
- 15:05Speaker 1: is get to the Spokane Arena, Yakama or to Koma Dome.
- 15:08Speaker 4: Those two words, to Koma Dome. It's really special.
- 15:11Speaker 1: And I think that's what makes it cool, Like you
- 15:13Speaker 1: get as a kid maybe one, two, three, four max
- 15:15Speaker 1: chances at it to get here is really special, isn't it.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it has to be. They put it
- 15:21Speaker 3: on T shirts all the time.
- 15:24Speaker 8: I mean seriously, I mean, I'll get in November, we'll
- 15:26Speaker 8: start going to practices and the T shirts are already up.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Just coming home.
- 15:30Speaker 8: Get to the dome, yep, domes where it's at, I mean,
- 15:33Speaker 8: any anything along those lines. I'm sure it's the same
- 15:35Speaker 8: thing in eastern Washington about you know, Yakama and in Spokane.
- 15:40Speaker 3: But I mean, look at this. I mean the open
- 15:43Speaker 3: air and and and the cool.
- 15:44Speaker 8: Court and and I still think the media gets to
- 15:48Speaker 8: play media games afterward. It has been a while, but
- 15:51Speaker 8: it I mean this, this court is I think maybe
- 15:54Speaker 8: I could make one out of ten free throws with
- 15:56Speaker 8: with the open air. Yeah, it's it's it's amazing to me.
- 15:59Speaker 8: How how these teams kids at shots?
- 16:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what we hear about that every year
- 16:03Speaker 1: in March, Madis when they play the championship game final
- 16:05Speaker 1: four weekends in the dome.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Right, And the backdrop, the one backdrop here is good.
- 16:08Speaker 1: The second one maybe not as much on both fans
- 16:10Speaker 1: because of the black with the curtain that's sitting up there.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Todd Miller's here, Varsity Washington, all things called high school hoops.
- 16:18Speaker 1: All right, let's just talk about where we are with
- 16:20Speaker 1: the high school hoops in the state. We'll talk about
- 16:22Speaker 1: the teams to watch for the next couple days and
- 16:23Speaker 1: all that in a second. But I felt like we
- 16:25Speaker 1: had a down few years. And I'm a big believer
- 16:29Speaker 1: Todd that you know, we've had such great high school
- 16:32Speaker 1: talent comes through here that moved on to big time
- 16:35Speaker 1: college players, throw ranks, you know, all across all over
- 16:39Speaker 1: the place. We've been one of the basketball hotbeds, especially
- 16:42Speaker 1: in western Washington for decades and decades, even after the
- 16:46Speaker 1: Sonics left. I felt like COVID took a little bit
- 16:49Speaker 1: out of that. And this isn't a political statement, that's
- 16:51Speaker 1: just the reality. We shut our state down for two years.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Kids didn't do anything for literally two years, and I
- 16:56Speaker 1: felt like we up until maybe a year or so ago,
- 16:59Speaker 1: we kind of fell the effects of that. We didn't
- 17:01Speaker 1: see the same high level play. It feels like it's
- 17:03Speaker 1: coming back for both boys and girls.
- 17:05Speaker 4: Is it sure for me?
- 17:07Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 17:07Speaker 8: I mean there's a there's a really good group of
- 17:11Speaker 8: underclassmen in this state. I don't know if it's necessarily
- 17:14Speaker 8: the senior class, and if you take away Tyrone Stokes,
- 17:17Speaker 8: a couple.
- 17:17Speaker 3: Of other players.
- 17:18Speaker 8: We're watching one right now and in a Goreshi kid
- 17:21Speaker 8: from Mount sepol Can, but there's some really good young underclassmen.
- 17:26Speaker 3: We watched one J J. Crawford, Jamal Crawford's son. I
- 17:29Speaker 3: don't know what.
- 17:31Speaker 8: I don't know how many times you'd seen him play,
- 17:32Speaker 8: but I've now seen him three or four times plays. Yeah, yeah,
- 17:36Speaker 8: And I was led to believe he was just a
- 17:38Speaker 8: shooter from the three point line. He has way more
- 17:40Speaker 8: to his game, a lot, Yeah, you know, three levels.
- 17:44Speaker 3: He's gonna be a superstar. I think we both can
- 17:47Speaker 3: agree on that.
- 17:48Speaker 1: He had two points in the first half, and he
- 17:50Speaker 1: explodes in the second. In fact, the third quarter at
- 17:53Speaker 1: twelve I think it was and just took he took
- 17:54Speaker 1: Odey led by five and a half, and then he
- 17:57Speaker 1: took over the second half. Yeah, I mean like Stokes
- 17:59Speaker 1: got his points, but a lot of those came in
- 18:00Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when the game was already decided.
- 18:02Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Crawford in the third quarter.
- 18:03Speaker 1: And he's the funny thing is a freshman and you're
- 18:06Speaker 1: down here in this place, in this building, playing this level.
- 18:09Speaker 4: He looks like the freshman.
- 18:10Speaker 1: He's he's tall though, he looks like that's kids a
- 18:13Speaker 1: ninth grader, and yet he had like three dunks and
- 18:15Speaker 1: he's going all over the place. And I'm like, man,
- 18:17Speaker 1: this Jamal's kid's gonna be special.
- 18:19Speaker 4: He's gonna be really special.
- 18:20Speaker 8: What I'm waiting for is the depth, especially in the
- 18:24Speaker 8: three A, four A. It seems like we've got five
- 18:26Speaker 8: or six teams every year that are battling for the
- 18:29Speaker 8: state championship. And I know you can kind of say
- 18:31Speaker 8: that in previous years. I'm just kind of waiting for
- 18:37Speaker 8: I'm just kind of waiting for the depth of team to.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Come back, right, So, because it's the same it is
- 18:42Speaker 1: like three A O day Beach every year. Yeah, and
- 18:45Speaker 1: and Garfield with with with those years, Yeah, with what
- 18:48Speaker 1: happened to Garfield in the off season with with Brandon
- 18:52Speaker 1: leaving and or being whatever. Yeah, you know, the lack
- 18:56Speaker 1: of Garfield, it's a big hole in this tournament. I
- 18:59Speaker 1: mean this listen, we can agree that the three A
- 19:01Speaker 1: tournament is much better when Garfield's playing well and they
- 19:04Speaker 1: have their their star power. They're they're reloading and retooling.
- 19:08Speaker 1: So it's yeah, it's Oday east Side, Catholic, Rainer Beach,
- 19:12Speaker 1: and then.
- 19:13Speaker 8: A fourth is at Beller and Prep is at Lincoln
- 19:15Speaker 8: of Tacamas at Edmonds Woodway. You don't really know, you know,
- 19:18Speaker 8: it can be a team having a kind of a
- 19:20Speaker 8: career a career year or has a has a generational
- 19:24Speaker 8: type group. But it's it's kind of those three teams
- 19:28Speaker 8: right now, uh, for the last couple of years. So
- 19:32Speaker 8: I'm kind of waiting for the depth of team to
- 19:34Speaker 8: come back in three A. You see it a little
- 19:36Speaker 8: more in four A with with Richly in Mount Side
- 19:39Speaker 8: is kind of that that top tier. But there's there
- 19:42Speaker 8: are four or five teams I think in the four
- 19:44Speaker 8: A tournament Lake Washington, Glacier, Peak, Palla, Gonzega, Prop obviously
- 19:48Speaker 8: the defending state champs, All can. I think can can
- 19:53Speaker 8: get hot this week and win it. So the the
- 19:55Speaker 8: depths there in four A on both sides, I'm kind
- 19:57Speaker 8: of waiting for it.
- 19:58Speaker 3: To come back. In three A.
- 19:59Speaker 8: What about girls side, it's kind of the same thing,
- 20:02Speaker 8: kind of the same thing like on the girls side.
- 20:04Speaker 8: In three A it's it's kind of Bellevue, Roosevelt East Side, Catholic.
- 20:07Speaker 8: Now it's been different teams in previous years. It wasn't
- 20:10Speaker 8: Bellvue last year with Central Valley, but it seems like
- 20:12Speaker 8: it's three or four teams and the and the rest
- 20:14Speaker 8: are just trying to play for trophies.
- 20:17Speaker 3: And it's the same thing in four A girls.
- 20:19Speaker 8: The depth of four A girls has actually been better
- 20:23Speaker 8: for for what reason, I don't know, but it seems
- 20:25Speaker 8: to have been better the last two or three years,
- 20:29Speaker 8: led by this Davis team in Yakama.
- 20:31Speaker 4: Then they've got they've got players, right like.
- 20:34Speaker 8: They've got players, and they're all all but one as
- 20:36Speaker 8: a junior. So they're gonna be back next year. So
- 20:38Speaker 8: they're gonna have they're gonna have that two or three
- 20:40Speaker 8: year run.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Where they win it.
- 20:41Speaker 8: But they're beating good Fields Union, Brooklyn Haywood going to
- 20:45Speaker 8: the University Oregon Lake Washington wouldn't be able.
- 20:49Speaker 3: They're playing right now.
- 20:50Speaker 8: Run on a girls courts Gonzaga prap uh Hey, Kennedy,
- 20:53Speaker 8: how about Kennedy, katholn You were good young player in
- 20:57Speaker 8: Jade Pitzgerald.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Coached by Dick Faine back in the day. Seriously, like
- 21:01Speaker 1: that was a Dick Fane protege.
- 21:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:04Speaker 8: I wonder if Dick's going to jump to the girls
- 21:05Speaker 8: side now that uh, now that they're in the final four.
- 21:09Speaker 1: He might he might do that a long the way
- 21:11Speaker 1: top villas here barsity, Washington. Let me talk about bigger
- 21:14Speaker 1: picture in our state with the colleges. It used to
- 21:17Speaker 1: be when you flipped on the television and you watched
- 21:21Speaker 1: again it was Pack ten, Pac twelve what have you.
- 21:23Speaker 1: But you turn on and you see Washington and the
- 21:25Speaker 1: Huskies are playing, or you watch Washington State and the
- 21:27Speaker 1: Coons are playing, you would have a bunch of players
- 21:31Speaker 1: on those teams from our state that we saw played
- 21:35Speaker 1: probably here right doesn't feel like we have that as
- 21:38Speaker 1: much as we used to. Can you still build a
- 21:41Speaker 1: good college team on the men's side with boys from
- 21:45Speaker 1: this state.
- 21:47Speaker 4: Brackets? That's a no. I can tell by your.
- 21:50Speaker 8: Face Uh, it depends on what the goal. I mean,
- 21:55Speaker 8: if you're if you're thinking national championship type team. But
- 22:01Speaker 8: I mean there's some good players. I don't know if
- 22:02Speaker 8: they're Power five. Let's get to the NCAA tournament and
- 22:06Speaker 8: ride them as as as your guy or gal. I
- 22:11Speaker 8: think the girls side, I mean, one of the best
- 22:14Speaker 8: girls basketball players was one game away from from being
- 22:17Speaker 8: in the dumb this week. Your name's Olivia Edwards. She's
- 22:20Speaker 8: gonna go to Tennessee. I think you're seeing more impact
- 22:24Speaker 8: girls players, but they're not here. I mean, I take
- 22:27Speaker 8: that back. Brim McCoy from Central Valley and Colfax is
- 22:30Speaker 8: at the University of Washington. She's making an impact. Devin
- 22:33Speaker 8: and Coppinger is the same way. On the girl's side,
- 22:34Speaker 8: you can build from what the University of Washington is
- 22:37Speaker 8: doing with two or three or four in state players. Yeah,
- 22:40Speaker 8: I think you can on the on the women's side,
- 22:42Speaker 8: the men's side harder to do, harder to do.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. I wonder if we'll come back, because
- 22:53Speaker 1: what would it take do you think to.
- 22:54Speaker 4: Get it back?
- 22:56Speaker 3: You do well, I mean.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Especially where it's all n I l even even here,
- 23:01Speaker 1: these kids got guys doing their own video and stuff
- 23:04Speaker 1: like that.
- 23:04Speaker 4: I mean, it's crazy what I'm watching.
- 23:07Speaker 8: I mean, when was the last time, when's the last
- 23:10Speaker 8: time the best player, undisputed best player in the state
- 23:14Speaker 8: state of Washington, it was it Isaiah probably the kid
- 23:21Speaker 8: in cut Away that stayed a year.
- 23:23Speaker 3: That's that's what the Timberwolves. Nadie McMillan. Yeah, so McDaniel.
- 23:27Speaker 4: I mean McDowell. Yeah.
- 23:30Speaker 8: I mean, I'd love for J. J. Crawford to stay here,
- 23:33Speaker 8: you know, and play for Washington, but he's not. He's
- 23:35Speaker 8: gonna go to Michigan, right, I mean, that's where they're
- 23:37Speaker 8: all going. I mean, we got Yukon, We've got just
- 23:43Speaker 8: a lot of non Washington and I don't even consider
- 23:45Speaker 8: the when was the last time the Cookes.
- 23:48Speaker 4: Jeez, I don't know. I mean Mark Hendrickson, I don't
- 23:50Speaker 4: even know.
- 23:50Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, so it's been only if we're if
- 23:53Speaker 8: we're stretching, you know, if we're stretching our brands to
- 23:55Speaker 8: try and remember, it means it's.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Not happening, I guess with all. Yeah, I mean it's
- 24:01Speaker 1: been it's been a while. I mean that it's just
- 24:02Speaker 1: it's been a while. Tod before Ley go, I just
- 24:06Speaker 1: kind of mentioned it. With the social media stuff I'm
- 24:09Speaker 1: watching these how how much has it changed? Does it
- 24:12Speaker 1: changed for the better or for the worse? Yeah, it's changed.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Here's why you're asking an old fogie.
- 24:21Speaker 3: Would I think?
- 24:21Speaker 1: Well, here's what I'm thinking, because you you went from
- 24:23Speaker 1: the newspaper to basically to the to the online you know,
- 24:27Speaker 1: I mean, that's you. You've kind of evolved like everyone's evolved, right,
- 24:31Speaker 1: You've evolved.
- 24:32Speaker 4: John Manley does a terrific job for the News Tribute.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Yes, I don't think the times, even those high school
- 24:36Speaker 1: schools existence.
- 24:37Speaker 8: If you're talking about the social media presence with players.
- 24:41Speaker 8: That was a shock to the system. A few years
- 24:43Speaker 8: ago when I went to a national type tournament in
- 24:47Speaker 8: Oregon and in a timeout I saw two and one
- 24:51Speaker 8: cruise congregates to the timeout and one of the best
- 24:56Speaker 8: basketball players in the country not from the state, takes
- 25:00Speaker 8: out her ear ring at the end of the bench
- 25:03Speaker 8: during a timeout and they're both like close ups watching
- 25:09Speaker 8: her change. And I turned to my boss at the
- 25:14Speaker 8: time at Scorbok Live and I said, Uh, I go,
- 25:17Speaker 8: what is this? What am I watching here? He goes, Oh,
- 25:21Speaker 8: that's such and such and my daughter. She has so
- 25:25Speaker 8: two or three hundred thousand people followers on Instagram and
- 25:28Speaker 8: my daughter is one of them. She follows every one
- 25:32Speaker 8: of her moves and I'm like, okay, if that's what
- 25:34Speaker 8: people want, great.
- 25:36Speaker 3: So that was a shock to the system.
- 25:37Speaker 8: Hey, going to Rayner Beach and watching twenty five videographers
- 25:40Speaker 8: and photographers and yeah, people crowd the baseline. That was
- 25:44Speaker 8: an experience. I mean, yeah, things are changing. That's how
- 25:49Speaker 8: this generation is consuming it's news. It's it's a it's
- 25:52Speaker 8: a highlight video generation. And uh, I don't know if
- 25:56Speaker 8: anybody at Rayner Beach or Davis or he has read
- 26:01Speaker 8: a word of what I've written, or what Scott Hansen
- 26:03Speaker 8: riots or what John Manley writes, but I'll tell you
- 26:06Speaker 8: this much, I better do a dang video with it,
- 26:07Speaker 8: because you know, that's the only chance I really have.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Somebody paying attention.
- 26:13Speaker 4: To mom and dad reading, Mamma dada reading.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Everyone else is looking at videos correct, and the YouTube
- 26:18Speaker 1: and the instagrams and the reels and all that fun stuff.
- 26:21Speaker 4: And go back to it.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Wapping up with this is the best player in the
- 26:24Speaker 1: state this year for the boys is even from our state. No,
- 26:28Speaker 1: he's a hired hired gun to come in here and
- 26:31Speaker 1: win a state championship and help the young kid develop
- 26:34Speaker 1: and off to Kansas.
- 26:35Speaker 4: He's probably gonna go.
- 26:36Speaker 8: And I would say, right now, that's a pretty darn
- 26:38Speaker 8: good success job. If ice hirer and stuff. Actually, I'll
- 26:41Speaker 8: tell you if if you want to look at more
- 26:44Speaker 8: of the traditional great player in the state, I would
- 26:46Speaker 8: advise people, because he's going to be here one more year,
- 26:49Speaker 8: to go to Bremerton and watch Jalen Davis play. And
- 26:52Speaker 8: I think he has a chance to go to the
- 26:54Speaker 8: University of Washington.
- 26:55Speaker 6: He to me.
- 26:56Speaker 8: In my mind, he in when you take defensive effort
- 27:00Speaker 8: defense into the equation. I think he's the best two
- 27:03Speaker 8: ways player in the state of Washington. He's not the
- 27:05Speaker 8: physical beast that Tyranne Stoves is, but Jalen davistisle not
- 27:11Speaker 8: as tall, he's six', three but he's in there. Rebounding
- 27:15Speaker 8: he'll guard a post, player he passes the. Ball he's
- 27:18Speaker 8: so skilled and he's so. Smart but the most impressive
- 27:22Speaker 8: thing is watching his efforts on both sides of the.
- 27:25Speaker 8: Court so he's only a, junior he's the GUY i
- 27:27Speaker 8: WOULD i would recommend people going to see if you
- 27:29Speaker 8: really want to, see you, know great players from the
- 27:32Speaker 8: state Of.
- 27:33Speaker 4: Washington this young, Guy Jadan kishi From Mels. Bulcan where's he?

- 27:45Speaker 8: months with blood.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Cloths.
- 27:47Speaker 8: Wow in as long as the fact that he's even
- 27:49Speaker 8: playing in this tournament is is actually great. News but
- 27:53Speaker 8: they were, very very worried that he would not be
- 27:56Speaker 8: able to come back during the season and just got
- 27:58Speaker 8: cleared last week and Played REGION i think it was
- 28:00Speaker 8: his first game in seven, weeks eight.

- 28:13Speaker 1: East Side catholic forty five to twenty. Four but he

- 28:19Speaker 8: two sport athlete in the state And titan McNeil love
- 28:25Speaker 8: love the way he wants to get in there and guard.

- 31:17Speaker 1: Yet over the last twenty four, Hours anders, right this
- 31:19Speaker 1: is kind of, yeah nothing, big nothing, urged but teams
- 31:23Speaker 1: are getting. Better they are teams are getting. Better no blockbusters,
- 31:26Speaker 1: though does.
- 31:28Speaker 4: See Al kraken have done nothing so.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Far they have until noon tomorrow to get something going
- 31:35Speaker 1: With Jason bottrell THERE. GM i want to clarify one.
- 31:39Speaker 1: THING i saw some stuff out there and there was
- 31:43Speaker 1: some criticism Of Ron francis and Explain Ron francis is
- 31:48Speaker 1: not the guy in charge right now of trades and personnel,
- 31:51Speaker 1: decisions these bigger picture stuff helping some scouting development of
- 31:55Speaker 1: young players in his new role this.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Year this Is Jason. Bottrell this is Not Ron.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Francis so if you're a cracking fan you're screaming and
- 32:02Speaker 1: yelling at the Hell's francis.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Doing he hasn't done anything. Yet your anger is directed
- 32:05Speaker 4: to the wrong.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Person if you are so inclined to be. Angry this
- 32:08Speaker 1: is this is bots and he's got till noon tomorrow
- 32:12Speaker 1: to trying to make this team. Better, Well i'm hoping he.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Does but there's also a lot of stuff out there
- 32:17Speaker 1: that this is what you call a seller's not a buyer's.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Market so that does that mean they're gonna?
- 32:22Speaker 4: Sell? Then? Ian not a? Chance?
- 32:25Speaker 1: Okay this that making the playoffs is a big priority
- 32:30Speaker 1: for the people that write the. Checks, okay they want
- 32:33Speaker 1: to make the.
- 32:33Speaker 4: Playoffs selling means you're giving up on the.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Season so, no is there a reality where you can
- 32:40Speaker 2: get what you can for a couple undrafted free agents
- 32:44Speaker 2: and still feel like you have a good chance to
- 32:46Speaker 2: make the?
- 32:46Speaker 4: Playoffs you mean unrestricted free?
- 32:48Speaker 9: Agent?
- 32:49Speaker 5: Sorry?
- 32:49Speaker 2: Unrestricted?
- 32:51Speaker 4: Yes? Yes? Yeah.
- 32:52Speaker 1: MAYBE i MEAN i think there's there's. DIFFERENT i MEAN
- 32:55Speaker 1: i think they have to make a. Move mike AND
- 32:57Speaker 1: i talked about this. Yesterday i'm gonna stand by. THIS
- 33:01Speaker 1: i think they have to try to be aggressive and
- 33:03Speaker 1: maybe have to, overpay make a move to make your team.
- 33:07Speaker 4: Better your your team has put itself in a position
- 33:11Speaker 4: to be in the.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Playoffs as it stands right, now you would be in
- 33:14Speaker 1: barely and it could change by tonight because game's going on.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Tonight in you're, idol but you've put yourself in the playoff.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Hunt you're basically one of there's like five teams for three. Spots,
- 33:24Speaker 1: yeah if you want to use a, comparison it's ALMOST
- 33:28Speaker 1: i think it's almost identical to what we saw in
- 33:30Speaker 1: baseball last. Year if you remember all those remember all
- 33:33Speaker 1: those teams were kind of hovering around. That you, know
- 33:37Speaker 1: teams were reluctant to really kind of. Deal arizona was
- 33:40Speaker 1: the one right, that but everyone else kind of felt.
- 33:44Speaker 1: That there's so many teams that felt like they still
- 33:46Speaker 1: when we get to the trade headline of baseball last,
- 33:48Speaker 1: year they felt like they still had a chance to
- 33:50Speaker 1: get to the. Postseason and you, know baseball is funny because,
- 33:53Speaker 1: listen everybody wants to get to the. Playoffs baseball is so, short,
- 33:57Speaker 1: RIGHT i, mean LIKE i think, hockey you just want
- 34:00Speaker 1: to get. In IF i get a seven game series
- 34:02Speaker 1: And gruby or the court gets gets, hot who. Knows
- 34:05Speaker 1: we saw that three years, Ago seattle knocked off at
- 34:07Speaker 1: the time the Defending Standley cup, champions Right drewby was
- 34:11Speaker 1: great in that, series and the scoring was, good the
- 34:14Speaker 1: structure was, good and they got. Them they got to
- 34:16Speaker 1: they were within a one game of you, know going
- 34:18Speaker 1: to The Western Conference. Finals, yeah they want to get.
- 34:22Speaker 1: In but there's a lot of teams in that same.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Situation and so because of, That and here's the thing
- 34:28Speaker 1: in baseball last year you can look.
- 34:30Speaker 4: At just use The.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Diamondbacks they had a guy that was gonna hit fifty
- 34:33Speaker 1: bombs In, gino and they had a guy In Josh
- 34:37Speaker 1: naylor that could help a lot of. Teams yeah, right, Ye,
- 34:41Speaker 1: well the really bad teams in hockey this year don't
- 34:43Speaker 1: have a lot of those, guys like unless you want
- 34:46Speaker 1: to take on massive salaries a salary cap. League so
- 34:48Speaker 1: there's a conundrum here That bottrill and other gms are
- 34:51Speaker 1: facing around the. League but so far it's been quiet For.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Sale we're going to be at The casey. Tomorrow i'll
- 34:56Speaker 1: be set up there probably around eleven or. So if things,
- 34:59Speaker 1: happen will blind With. Mark if, not just do our.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Show.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Well should get bots on at some point tomorrow as
- 35:04Speaker 1: well With Gary parrishtock And College hoops and And daniel.
- 35:07Speaker 4: O'Neil But.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I'm i'm hoping They i'm hoping they do. SOMETHING i
- 35:12Speaker 1: want to see them try to do something to improve their.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Team even if you have to, Overpay you've got a
- 35:16Speaker 1: lot of draft picks as as equity and. Stuff you
- 35:19Speaker 1: can use that. Stuff you can make some. Moves so
- 35:22Speaker 1: let's see what they do. TOMORROW i think there's some
- 35:23Speaker 1: pressure On bots as well to get it. Done so
- 35:26Speaker 1: cross your fingers if you're a cracking fan and hopefully
- 35:28Speaker 1: you never have to watch what you had to watch last.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Night that was a great game to take my buddies.
- 35:33Speaker 4: Too. HUH i feel, bad, Man sorry about. That tell you. Buddy.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Sorry, YEAH i don't. KNOW i avoided. It but let's
- 35:41Speaker 1: just say what it. Is you had one of your best,
- 35:43Speaker 1: games one of your best efforts of the year On. Monday,
- 35:46Speaker 1: again it's a really good team In, carolina and then
- 35:48Speaker 1: you come in and take on a team that's not
- 35:50Speaker 1: going to make the. Playoffs is basically playing out the,
- 35:52Speaker 1: string and you put that on the.
- 35:54Speaker 4: Ice that Was that was.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Bad yeah to, watch And ian like direct me If i'm,
- 36:00Speaker 2: Wrong but it seems like The kraken are in kind
- 36:02Speaker 2: of a unique position because all the other teams that
- 36:03Speaker 2: are vying for a playoff, spot most of the guys
- 36:06Speaker 2: that are being moved at this deadline are role, players
- 36:09Speaker 2: kind of maybe second third.
- 36:10Speaker 3: Liners maybe they don't.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Need, That, yeah, right they don't need.
- 36:13Speaker 4: That they need that's all they have.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Exactly they need to, guy and they have like resources
- 36:18Speaker 2: to get that. Done it just feels, LIKE i don't,
- 36:20Speaker 2: know if you're talking supply and, demand like they're they're
- 36:23Speaker 2: in a unique position where they can, like all, right
- 36:26Speaker 2: send a couple of, picks maybe a young guy here
- 36:28Speaker 2: and there to get something done to really kind of
- 36:32Speaker 2: change the fortunes of this team if.
- 36:33Speaker 1: They just do, Something please do, something all? Right speaking
- 36:37Speaker 1: of doing, SOMETHING i posed this earlier four, nine four to.

- 39:04Speaker 1: we get ready for a free agency to begin officially
- 39:08Speaker 1: in six. Days but if we're being, realistic it starts
- 39:11Speaker 1: with the tampering. Period legal, tampering we'll call it On.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Monday Corbin, smith how are, you my?
- 39:18Speaker 4: Friend i'm.
- 39:20Speaker 5: Good i'm. Good and we've got plenty of news today,
- 39:23Speaker 5: Already so the craziness is.
- 39:25Speaker 1: BEGINNING i you know, WHAT i neglected this in the
- 39:29Speaker 1: in the in the updated second, Ago Drake thomas has
- 39:32Speaker 1: signed a contract with The. SEAHAWKS i believe it's eight
- 39:36Speaker 1: million dollar. Base is that what we're?
- 39:38Speaker 4: Hearing?
- 39:39Speaker 5: Yeah eight million base and there's a million extra incentives
- 39:43Speaker 5: that can be made for the next two. Years and
- 39:45Speaker 5: this is about the. BALLPARK i was told a multi
- 39:48Speaker 5: year deal would be for, Him so he was a
- 39:51Speaker 5: player THAT i fully expected was going to be. Back
- 39:54Speaker 5: mike McDonald absolutely loves, them and this is the price
- 39:57Speaker 5: point that is more than reasonable for a second starting.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Linebacker what a great story he, is by the, way
- 40:04Speaker 1: like and all this other stuff we're gonna get to
- 40:05Speaker 1: and talk about in the big money That Rashid shihed
- 40:08Speaker 1: Or Ken walker others may. Get how About Drake, thomas
- 40:11Speaker 1: cut undrafted free agent cut by The raiders comes To
- 40:14Speaker 1: seattle and by the end of this season a very
- 40:17Speaker 1: important piece To mike McDonald's.
- 40:19Speaker 5: Defense, YEAH i think he was one of the crucial
- 40:23Speaker 5: pieces For seattle being able to get over the hump
- 40:26Speaker 5: and win this. VISION i, mean think about the big
- 40:28Speaker 5: interception he had in the red zone In week eighteen
- 40:30Speaker 5: that helped clinch that game to win THE Nfc west
- 40:33Speaker 5: and the number one seed had almost one hundred, tackles
- 40:36Speaker 5: had ten tackles for. Loss my nickname for him is
- 40:39Speaker 5: the human missile because that's how he. PLAYS i, mean
- 40:42Speaker 5: there are so many plays on film where you're, like
- 40:45Speaker 5: how did he get downhill that quickly to go get
- 40:48Speaker 5: that running? Back AND i talked to him leading up
- 40:50Speaker 5: to The Super, bowl sat down with him for almost ten,
- 40:53Speaker 5: minutes and he was talking about just how Important mike
- 40:56Speaker 5: McDonald and this coaching staff was to getting his confidence,
- 40:59Speaker 5: back because you have to remember he had that really
- 41:02Speaker 5: significant knee injury that he suffered midway through his rookie,
- 41:05Speaker 5: season and he said he was struggling a little bit
- 41:08Speaker 5: with his confidence in terms of being decisive and getting
- 41:12Speaker 5: downhill and playing, fast and the coaching staff got him
- 41:16Speaker 5: back on. Tracks they unlocked his game once again with
- 41:20Speaker 5: him back, healthy and look at the results. NOW i,
- 41:22Speaker 5: mean he is as versatile as you're going to find
- 41:25Speaker 5: a linebacker. Position he truly did stuff the stat sheet
- 41:28Speaker 5: this past. Season he more than earned this.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Contract it's our, Guy Corbin, Smith Emerald City, spectrum joining
- 41:34Speaker 1: us here on The beacon plumbing hot. Line, corbin what
- 41:38Speaker 1: else where do you want to? Start what else is
- 41:40Speaker 1: burning up in The Emerald city Spectrum seahawk? World where
- 41:43Speaker 1: do you want to?
- 41:44Speaker 5: START i want to start with the edge chase because you,
- 41:48Speaker 5: know we Hear mike McDonald talk about this all the
- 41:50Speaker 5: time that the seahawkser is looking to chase. Edges but
- 41:53Speaker 5: they're going to be taking that literally here the next several,
- 41:56Speaker 5: days and they have been the last week or. So
- 41:59Speaker 5: John schnein is absolutely in on everything when it comes
- 42:03Speaker 5: to free agency and trades for the edge. Position at the,
- 42:06Speaker 5: end you look at What seattle's depth chart looks like right.
- 42:09Speaker 5: Now DeMarcus, LAWRENCE i expect he is going to play this.
- 42:13Speaker 5: YEAR i don't think he's going to, retire but that
- 42:15Speaker 5: continues to be, speculated and Boy mafe is a free.
- 42:19Speaker 5: Agent Derek hall has one year leftinis, Contract Kennan nuos
- 42:22Speaker 5: who has one year leftiness. CONTRACT i, mean you've got
- 42:24Speaker 5: a lot of long term questions at that. Position we
- 42:28Speaker 5: know That John schneider has been smitten By Max crosby
- 42:32Speaker 5: for a long. TIME i am fully under the impression
- 42:36Speaker 5: that that is still something that they are at least looking.
- 42:39Speaker 5: Into Jonathan gernard from The Minnesota. VIKINGS i was told
- 42:43Speaker 5: by a well informed reporter for The vikings that half
- 42:47Speaker 5: the league has called about him and The seahawks for
- 42:50Speaker 5: one of those. Teams and then you've got a couple
- 42:52Speaker 5: of guys In Trey hendrickson And Khalil mack and free
- 42:55Speaker 5: agency veterans that could be players that The seahawks look heavily.
- 42:59Speaker 5: Into so so you, know there might be some players
- 43:02Speaker 5: they let walk because they don't want to pay the
- 43:04Speaker 5: salent they're going to, make like A Ken walk or
- 43:06Speaker 5: The third Or Rashid. Shahid but there is a purpose
- 43:10Speaker 5: to the, madness AND i think a big part of
- 43:12Speaker 5: that is they want to have some of this cap.
- 43:14Speaker 5: Flexibility so that they can upgrade that edge position this.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Offseason Corpus smith joining a central city. Spectrum we are
- 43:21Speaker 1: at The Tacoma, dome by the, way the state high
- 43:23Speaker 1: school basketball. Tournament we Got Bellevue kitting ready to take
- 43:26Speaker 1: On lincoln Of tacoma here in just a couple of.
- 43:28Speaker 4: Moments just a few minutes, ago we had did have a.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Final by the, way East side, Fiftyside catholic fifty, Three
- 43:34Speaker 1: mounts Well can thirty.
- 43:35Speaker 4: Seven so The crusader's move On. Corbin you mentioned the word.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Trade we spend a lot of time both on the,
- 43:44Speaker 1: Radio seahawks fans discussing you guys writing about, it talking
- 43:48Speaker 1: about quote signing free. Agents where are the? Trades that's
- 43:53Speaker 1: an interesting. WORD i hadn't heard much. Talk how interested
- 43:57Speaker 1: you think The seahawks might be In may making some
- 44:00Speaker 1: trades as we get ready for this new league.
- 44:02Speaker 5: Year, well there's a couple of reasons WHY i think
- 44:06Speaker 5: it is inevitable that they're going to make at least
- 44:09Speaker 5: one trade right. Now first, off they have four draft,
- 44:11Speaker 5: picks and they're not going to be able to restock
- 44:15Speaker 5: the cupboard with draft stock this. Year that's just not
- 44:19Speaker 5: going to be the. Case and they don't pick until
- 44:22Speaker 5: thirty second, overall WHICH i think opens the door more
- 44:26Speaker 5: For John schneider to be willing to trade that pick
- 44:29Speaker 5: to go get somebody like A Max crosby OR i
- 44:32Speaker 5: think that'd be a little rich For Jonathan, grenard BUT
- 44:35Speaker 5: i could See seattle being more. Interested AND i know
- 44:38Speaker 5: they only have four, picks but this feels like twenty
- 44:40Speaker 5: twenty one in the sense That John schneider is not
- 44:43Speaker 5: overly enthused by this draft. Class they would rather go
- 44:46Speaker 5: out and get a player that's going to be better
- 44:48Speaker 5: than what they can get in those draft positions that
- 44:50Speaker 5: they do, have so AND i just think this is
- 44:53Speaker 5: an arms. Race The rams just went out and got
- 44:56Speaker 5: McDuffie from The chiefs that just put made their stock
- 45:00Speaker 5: And darry which is maybe their weakest point of their
- 45:01Speaker 5: roster that much. Better you, know you've got to be
- 45:05Speaker 5: able to keep up with The joneses if you want
- 45:07Speaker 5: to win this. DIVISION i think the forty nine ers
- 45:09Speaker 5: are going to be aggressive looking for, trade So i'd
- 45:12Speaker 5: be surprised If John schneider does not make at least
- 45:14Speaker 5: one trade here in the beginning of the free agency.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Period WE i brought this up And this is BECAUSE,
- 45:20Speaker 1: rashichihi you, know the the news coming, out various people
- 45:23Speaker 1: reporting that he's going to go to free agency and
- 45:25Speaker 1: all those.
- 45:25Speaker 4: Things and you, know same With, walker we've heard all
- 45:28Speaker 4: that coming.
- 45:28Speaker 1: OUT i one thing you, KNOW i WOULD i would
- 45:31Speaker 1: throw out, THERE i believe in a, Sense, corbyn is
- 45:35Speaker 1: that we'll see what happens On. Monday The seahawks have
- 45:39Speaker 1: and probably a lot of other teams, too have done
- 45:41Speaker 1: a lot of work in the days leading up to
- 45:43Speaker 1: free agency over the, years not just, today you, know
- 45:46Speaker 1: not just this, year but over the, years and a
- 45:47Speaker 1: lot leading up to. That over the, years they've done
- 45:49Speaker 1: a lot of stuff last second or It's jones signed
- 45:51Speaker 1: the day before and things like. That, well we'll see what.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Happens BUT i brought this Up mark AND i were
- 45:56Speaker 1: talking him just kind of stumbled across. It it's a
- 45:58Speaker 1: very softy ism. Topic you can only have one if
- 46:02Speaker 1: You're John schneider and you're looking at your budget and you, say,
- 46:05Speaker 1: listen on the offensive, SIDE i can.
- 46:08Speaker 4: Either have a OR. B a Being Rashid Rashid shaheed
- 46:12Speaker 4: be Being Ken.
- 46:12Speaker 1: Walker which of those two do you think would be
- 46:14Speaker 1: more important and more valuable To.
- 46:16Speaker 5: SEATTLE i think Ken walker The third would be the
- 46:20Speaker 5: more important player of the. Two and that's not taking
- 46:23Speaker 5: anything away From, shaheed BECAUSE i don't Think seattle wins
- 46:25Speaker 5: The Super bowl without his special team's, contributions and that's
- 46:29Speaker 5: something you have to consider. Here but he hasn't BEEN i,
- 46:32Speaker 5: mean he's been a good but not great, receiver AND
- 46:34Speaker 5: i don't think that that's a player That i'm spending
- 46:38Speaker 5: fifteen plus million dollars per year on based on what
- 46:41Speaker 5: the track record. REFLEX i think he's a good. PLAYER
- 46:44Speaker 5: i think he's. Explosive Ken walker The, third, though has
- 46:48Speaker 5: now shown he can be the anchor in a run.
- 46:50Speaker 5: Game and he's only twenty five years old and he's
- 46:53Speaker 5: figured out this. Scheme he really found his groove with
- 46:56Speaker 5: the zone running game down the. STRETCH i just if
- 47:00Speaker 5: you're having to pick between those, TWO i think Ken
- 47:03Speaker 5: walker is the one player in this free agent group
- 47:05Speaker 5: that if somehow his asking price looks to be in
- 47:09Speaker 5: at eleven to twelve million, range that might be one
- 47:12Speaker 5: player That John snider, Says, okay we're willing to meet you.
- 47:14Speaker 5: THERE i just don't think he's gonna do that With Rashid, shaheed, though.
- 47:18Speaker 1: Do you think in terms Of walker that they have
- 47:21Speaker 1: to get something done Before monday to keep?
- 47:24Speaker 5: Him, honestly at this, point if they haven't gotten anything done,
- 47:29Speaker 5: NOW i think the only hope for that would be
- 47:33Speaker 5: that the offers don't end up being as fruitful as
- 47:35Speaker 5: everybody's saying they're gonna be after free agency opens and
- 47:39Speaker 5: he comes back To, seattle or you, know maybe somebody
- 47:43Speaker 5: Advises Kane einer he, Says, LOOK i would rather come
- 47:47Speaker 5: back To seattle for a couple million a year less
- 47:49Speaker 5: and competing the legacy. HERE i think that is how
- 47:53Speaker 5: it still, happens if it does, HAPPEN i. DON'T i
- 47:56Speaker 5: don't think that getting a deal done before free agency
- 47:58Speaker 5: now is going to be on the table in regard
- 48:02Speaker 5: to the, offers just having bit Where Ted walker and
- 48:05Speaker 5: his reps would need them to be to sign a. Contract,
- 48:08Speaker 5: Now i'm.
- 48:09Speaker 1: Gonna throw just a blind numbers at you for a
- 48:12Speaker 1: second or and just get your thoughts on, this and
- 48:15Speaker 1: maybe it's the dumbest comp, ever But i'm gonna throw
- 48:18Speaker 1: it out you, anyway just BECAUSE i was interested in
- 48:19Speaker 1: Myself Ken walker over his final five games including the
- 48:23Speaker 1: playoffs heading into free agency four hundred and sixty one
- 48:27Speaker 1: yards ninety two yards per.
- 48:29Speaker 4: Game player b over his final five.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Games heading into free agency as a running back six
- 48:34Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one. Yards that averages out to one
- 48:37Speaker 1: twenty three per. Game the second PLAYER i just mentioned
- 48:42Speaker 1: Was Rashad. Penny, Now penny had, higher bigger injuries than
- 48:48Speaker 1: Ken walker. Did But Rashad penny in twenty twenty one
- 48:52Speaker 1: finished the season going into free agency with a, bang
- 48:55Speaker 1: looked healthy for the first time, ever put up those
- 48:58Speaker 1: massive numbers six, one a ton of, touchdowns breakaway, speed
- 49:03Speaker 1: and we all are thinking, Ourselves, okay there he.
- 49:05Speaker 4: Is that's the guy they drafted in the first.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Round he went to free, Agency seattle got him back
- 49:10Speaker 1: on a one year deal six point five, million and
- 49:14Speaker 1: we know what happened after. That more, injuries ir and
- 49:18Speaker 1: basically in the next two years he was out of.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Football Ken, walker they've had concerns over his. Durability he
- 49:25Speaker 1: did had a hell of a closing stretch going into free.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Agency is there a risk with Ken?
- 49:30Speaker 5: Walker, well anytime that you were bringing back a running
- 49:35Speaker 5: back for a second, contract there's risk because of the
- 49:39Speaker 5: attrition that they take in that. Position but he started
- 49:42Speaker 5: to consider though he has not had the severe injuries
- 49:45Speaker 5: That Rashad penny. Had he hasn't had torn, acls and
- 49:48Speaker 5: he hasn't had broken ankles and different stuff like. That Rashad,
- 49:52Speaker 5: Penny i've said this time and time, again he to
- 49:55Speaker 5: me is one of the biggest what if stories In
- 49:57Speaker 5: seahawks history BECAUSE i think that's how did this dude.
- 50:00Speaker 5: Was if he wouldn't have had these crazy bad, injuries
- 50:05Speaker 5: who knows what conversation we're having about. HIM i think
- 50:09Speaker 5: he was absolutely a first round. Talent but Ken walker's
- 50:12Speaker 5: Had he's had some soft tissue, injuries had a few sprained.
- 50:15Speaker 5: Ankles he hasn't had anything though that's gonna leave you
- 50:19Speaker 5: pause in terms, of, oh that was a really significant.
- 50:21Speaker 5: Injury SO i don't think there's near as much risk
- 50:24Speaker 5: with him as there was with bringing back With Sean. Penny.
- 50:27Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean AND i bring that up just Because
- 50:29Speaker 1: penny was healthy in that, stretch like he finished that.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Year BUT i think he had won nineties last. GAME i,
- 50:34Speaker 1: mean he was healthy and we're, Like, okay he's. HEALTHY
- 50:37Speaker 1: i think that that's why he got six point five
- 50:39Speaker 1: as opposed to. Twelve but we did see what happened after.
- 50:43Speaker 1: THAT i just it to, me it's just A i
- 50:46Speaker 1: don't know if you can, Honestly. CORBYN i we'll see
- 50:49Speaker 1: on the other side of, things you know what happens
- 50:52Speaker 1: how they replace these. Guys maybe it's A Travis etn or.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Something but, BOY i think for a team, that, yes
- 50:58Speaker 1: they had an incredible defense least, season they rely on that.
- 51:01Speaker 1: Defense they also had the highest scoring offense in franchise,
- 51:04Speaker 1: history and that offense did have to carry them in
- 51:06Speaker 1: a few.
- 51:06Speaker 4: GAMES i don't know if you can.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Lose both your special team stand out and a deep
- 51:11Speaker 1: throat receiver At sheed And Ken, walker Knowing charbonne's not
- 51:15Speaker 1: gonna be back until probably after the regular season, STARTS
- 51:18Speaker 1: i think that's really a you're not getting, better you're hurting.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Yourself and we already saw as you, mentioned The rams
- 51:24Speaker 1: just got better With trent.
- 51:25Speaker 5: McDuffie but you, know and the thing, is though you Mentioned,
- 51:29Speaker 5: etn you know that could be a. Possibility But Tyler
- 51:33Speaker 5: algier And Brian Robinson junior or two guys THAT i
- 51:36Speaker 5: have been hearing that The seahawks have been, monitoring and
- 51:39Speaker 5: both guys make. SENSE i, Mean algier was a thousand
- 51:41Speaker 5: yard rusher as a, rookie and Then Bijon robinson got,
- 51:44Speaker 5: drafted so you, know a generational type talent that ended
- 51:48Speaker 5: up being ahead of him in the depth. Chart But
- 51:50Speaker 5: aljier is a really good, player has never fumbled in
- 51:53Speaker 5: THE nfl to catch the. Football Brian robinson played For
- 51:57Speaker 5: Brian fleury last, year So brian he's vouching for. Him
- 52:01Speaker 5: then that makes a lot of sense to help with
- 52:03Speaker 5: his transition as the offensive. Coordinator those are some. Possibilities Rashad,
- 52:08Speaker 5: white this is a draft class that is okay at
- 52:11Speaker 5: the running back, position BUT i think you could get
- 52:14Speaker 5: somebody with your second third round pick or the one
- 52:18Speaker 5: pick that they have On day, three they could probably
- 52:20Speaker 5: bring somebody. In AND i, think you, know maybe we're
- 52:23Speaker 5: Looking George hallane a little bit. Here The seahawks really
- 52:26Speaker 5: Like George hallane and this might be his chance finally
- 52:29Speaker 5: to be able to hold a much bigger role in the.
- 52:32Speaker 5: Backfield so we'll have to. See it really boils down
- 52:35Speaker 5: To John schneider had a price point and if Ken
- 52:38Speaker 5: walker the third is well above, that he's not going
- 52:40Speaker 5: to budge on. That and that's the way that he does.
- 52:43Speaker 5: Business same thing With Ea, shaheed especially With Cooper cupp
- 52:47Speaker 5: And Jackson smith And jay but we know his extension coming.
- 52:49Speaker 5: Up there's only so much money you can put into one.
- 52:51Speaker 4: Position what's your other biggest question mark henting Into.
- 52:55Speaker 5: Monday, honestly the other big QUESTION i have had Is
- 53:00Speaker 5: Kobe bryant coming. Back it isn't the corner. Position i'm
- 53:03Speaker 5: feeling pretty good That Josh job is going to be
- 53:05Speaker 5: the corner that comes back in free. AGENCY i think
- 53:08Speaker 5: you just saw it With Drake thomas. Too Josh job
- 53:11Speaker 5: took a very similar pass To seattle and he he's
- 53:14Speaker 5: a player that they. Trust he doesn't hurt, himself he's
- 53:18Speaker 5: a smart, player he is fundamentally, sound he's, physical he's.
- 53:23Speaker 5: TOUGH i Think job is going to be coming back
- 53:25Speaker 5: to the corner. Position Kobe bryant really feels like a
- 53:28Speaker 5: fifty to fifty, though because this is a safety draft
- 53:31Speaker 5: class that looks like it's going to be pretty darn.
- 53:33Speaker 5: Good there's a lot of talent in the safety position
- 53:36Speaker 5: in this free agent. Group Kobe bryant might not get
- 53:39Speaker 5: the offers that he thought he was going to get
- 53:41Speaker 5: it and that could mean he comes back To seattle
- 53:43Speaker 5: and that could be one of those players Where John
- 53:45Speaker 5: schneider's offer stands from initial and, says, hey we still
- 53:48Speaker 5: got this for, you and he comes. Back So i'm
- 53:51Speaker 5: fascinated to see If Kobe bryant returns on a new
- 53:54Speaker 5: deal or.
- 53:55Speaker 1: Not, finally this help me understand if there truly is
- 54:00Speaker 1: a priority to getting the two first rounders who are
- 54:04Speaker 1: going into year four under contract long.
- 54:08Speaker 4: Term why is that even an issue right?
- 54:10Speaker 1: Now when you can put those guys on a fifth
- 54:12Speaker 1: year if you, want you have a lot of time
- 54:14Speaker 1: on your side to work With i'm talking about Obviously
- 54:16Speaker 1: Devin witherspoon AND.
- 54:18Speaker 5: Jsn, well i'll tell you the first. Reason WITH, JSN
- 54:23Speaker 5: i don't want the price to go up. ANYMORE i
- 54:25Speaker 5: want to get that done now BECAUSE i have a
- 54:27Speaker 5: feeling if you, wait you're going to be paying several
- 54:29Speaker 5: million eight more year to sign. Him SO i would
- 54:33Speaker 5: rather knock that out. Now AND i feel somewhat similarly
- 54:36Speaker 5: On Devin witherspoon and the other thing fans have to know,
- 54:38Speaker 5: too when you do these big, extensions the signing bonus
- 54:43Speaker 5: gets spread out for the life of the contract that
- 54:45Speaker 5: would start, now so you have to allocate some of
- 54:49Speaker 5: your salary cap space for those signing bonus for the
- 54:52Speaker 5: paration on. That so those are all things That Josh
- 54:55Speaker 5: schneider has to be considered. Here BUT i think the
- 54:57Speaker 5: price point and wanting to lock guys up, now you
- 55:00Speaker 5: don't want to get in a Like i'm not trying
- 55:02Speaker 5: to pick On Jerry, jones but you don't want to
- 55:05Speaker 5: Be Jerry jones and wait till the last second to
- 55:07Speaker 5: start negotiating with guys and then you end up Trading
- 55:09Speaker 5: Micah parsons because you shot yourself in the foot Like
- 55:12Speaker 5: John snyder's not going to do.
- 55:14Speaker 1: That the bonus makes sense and all that stuff makes
- 55:16Speaker 1: sense if you can extend that h and then it
- 55:18Speaker 1: does help you down the, road even if maybe it.
- 55:21Speaker 4: Hurts you in the interim as. Well with what and
- 55:24Speaker 4: they can give.
- 55:24Speaker 5: It and so the other thing is they could pick
- 55:27Speaker 5: up the fifty year option these guys the way they
- 55:29Speaker 5: did With Charles, cross and then they could do the
- 55:32Speaker 5: extensions and that could spread that siding bonus out over
- 55:36Speaker 5: an extra year and it saves you a little bit
- 55:39Speaker 5: of money as. Well so those are all things that
- 55:42Speaker 5: The seahawks front office is looking at right. Now these
- 55:45Speaker 5: two contracts that they want to get.
- 55:47Speaker 4: Done it's going to be a fascinating week next.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Week my, friend And i've said this, BEFORE i think you,
- 55:53Speaker 1: know In John, Schneider seahawks fans you should trust because
- 55:57Speaker 1: With John, schneider this guy's and he's built two Super
- 56:01Speaker 1: bowl champions he knows what the hell he's. Doing even
- 56:03Speaker 1: if it feels right now like there's a little stress
- 56:05Speaker 1: In Seahawks, land a lot of stress from, fans this
- 56:09Speaker 1: guy does know what he's.
- 56:10Speaker 4: Doing BUT i think it's the fear of the.
- 56:12Speaker 1: Unknown what will actually happen coming up next week is
- 56:15Speaker 1: what we're all kind of, Like, oh what's gonna go
- 56:18Speaker 1: on all.
- 56:18Speaker 4: With This Super bowl championship. Team but that's.

- 1:00:08Speaker 1: love for, sheet but you don't want to get into
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: An Odell beckham situation where you give a massive contract
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: off of one or two big plays in the season
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: and get average play with that big. Contract the wide
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: receiver numbers just aren't there to make it worth. It, Interesting,
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: god is somebody gonna pay that guy that much?
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: Money? Really?
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: YEAH i think they will, say.
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: Oh, man, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: Yeah this is Where i'm gonna.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: Go on a side note here for a, second, guy
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: a ton of, Text, jess you can grab some as
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: well in a. Second my side note is this with
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: baseball season starting soon and the big big push for
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: some when THE cba is up at the end of
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: the season to get a salary cap in, Baseball AND
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: i bring that up for this. Reason there's an athletic
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: did a story like a big, Poll, like you, know
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: most fans want a salary cap in. BASEBALL i understand
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: WHY i don't want to debate that. Today but WHAT
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: i do want to mention, is can you imagine if
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: there's no salary cap in football with the financialwear with
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: all of the particular ownership. GROUP i, MEAN i think
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: we could have had a dynasty before In seattle with
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: The seahawks in, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen et. Cetera we
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: wouldn't even be having these conversations today if there's no salary, gap,
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: right they would just sign these. Guys it's, like all, right, whatever,
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: man you're worth, this that's what you'll.
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: Get vote them. Thanks you, know we're not worried about.
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: It THE nfl Has, Perry.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: That's THE nfl all. Forever, Yes, mostly what THE nfl
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: has cared about is. Parity and you, know especially when
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: we went to free agency in the early, nineties early mid,
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: nineties when they went to today's free agency with the
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: cap and all. That you, know that's why when people
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: make a big, give like teams don't, repeat you, know The,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: patriots if you look at the gap between teams that.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Repeated it was massive because of, this because of What
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: jess said With, perry all.
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: Right just what else you?
- 1:01:55Speaker 5: Got all?
- 1:01:56Speaker 6: Right we have a lot two six. SAYS i Think
- 1:01:58Speaker 6: horton And shaheed have someone equal skill, set less money For,
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: horton but Let shahi go unless he's willing to settle
- 1:02:06Speaker 6: for much less in the market hometown. Deal ALTHOUGH k
- 1:02:09Speaker 6: nine hasn't had the best track record for staying healthy
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: this rookie, year and With sharboney out probably the first
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: few weeks of the regular, Season i'd RATHER ca.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: Nine, yeah you, know we haven't mentioned a. LOT i
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: haven't on this. Show, LEASE i haven't talked a lot
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: About Tory. Horton, yep kind of the lost forgotten soul
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: during this this great season with his. Injuries the, concern
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: the concern With horton is injured in, college, Right that's
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: why he dropped in the.
- 1:02:37Speaker 4: Draft we talked about that a.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Lot you watched him a ton because his son was
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: the quarterback At Kora state when we had a great
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: year a couple of years. Ago injured, there injured, here,
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: injured you, know coming out of, college the all nine.
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: Yards If horton's, healthy we've seen him, healthy really.
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: Good and.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: The THING i guess this is WHERE i say In John,
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: schneider we trust when you hear he's going to go
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: on the open. Market maybe they're fully confident this guy
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: is one hundred percent and ready to go and or
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: will be By.
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: September.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: Yeah AND i just feel like it's easier to replace
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: if you take The shahed Versus walker side of. It it's, Like,
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: okay well what would you have without either one of?
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: THOSE i feel much better about the receiver room Without Rashid,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: shahed THEN i do the running back room Without Kenneth.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: Walker the good point this.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Is WHAT i brought up earlier with WHEN i brought
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: up for Shot, penny because this is why At walker
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: everyone got brainwashed by a shiny NEW mvp that people
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: are tripping out that we're not signing. It he had
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: nine one hundred yard games and fifty eight career. Games
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: he's replaced. Able schneider isn't going to break the bank for.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: Him Traves etn would be a perfect fit.
- 1:03:38Speaker 4: Here he's better than A. Walker would take DOUBT o Over.
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: Walker he's a piece and gonna be way.
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: CHEAPER i brought up With corbyn just the whole situation
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: with Like Rashad penny again looking at, Injuries Rashot penny
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: had a.
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: Bunch When penny had a stretch.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: Of health at the end of the twenty one twenty
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: twenty one, season his games were one thirty, seven thirty
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: nine five one seventy one ninety over the last five,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: games last five games this year walker fifty one ninety
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: seven one sixteen sixty, two one thirty, Five, like, like.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: How many those was he in a timeshare that With Zach.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: Sharbone uh two, okay, right, yeah two and a.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: Half, yeah but.
- 1:04:18Speaker 6: TWO i JUST i wonder IF k nine IS i
- 1:04:22Speaker 6: think we saw the best ninety.
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: Seven yard game by the, way.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: Yeah oh, yeah, right, yes and, no that's.
- 1:04:28Speaker 6: Okay i'm just wondering if we saw the best THAT
- 1:04:31Speaker 6: k nine can, be WHICH i would tend to say
- 1:04:34Speaker 6: when running.
- 1:04:35Speaker 4: Backs when it comes to running, backs.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: You're saying it's all downhill from.
- 1:04:37Speaker 6: Here, No i'm saying THAT i think we saw his.
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: CEILING i don't think that we're gonna be better than.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: That if someone's gonna take a gamble and find, out
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: yeah it. Will the easy answer is we're not. Sure
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: but someone's gonna find out when they find.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: Him he's still only twenty. Five it's not like this
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: twenty nine year old running.
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: BACK i love Ken, walker, Man don't get me. WRONG
- 1:04:58Speaker 4: i love Ken.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: WALKER i, Mean I'm i'm with the, answer answering my own.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: Question i'd taken Ken walker all day and every.
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: Day, yeah that that's just.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: Me here's Playing devil's advocate.
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: Though with the Whole, YEAH i Under i'm just both out.
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: THERE i just THINK i just. DON'T i don't like
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: the thought of losing both those. GUYS i. AGREE i
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: think that's my big. THING i don't like the thought
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: of losing.
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: BOTH i think it's a high possibility at this.
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: Point, WELL i didn't think that a few days, ago
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: but NOW i.
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: Do, Yeah like NOW i do well in the Whole
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: Travis etn, Thing, LIKE i get. It that's kind of
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: a good if you feel good about that. Replacement he
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: probably will cost just as much as Ken, walker if
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: not maybe even more. So if you're worried about paying
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: Ken walker that much, money, like you're probably gonna pay
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: the same For Travis etn. Too you probably if you
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: want to go, cheaper you're looking at the What corvin,
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: Said Tyler, Algier Brian Robinson, junior And rico daubtrole.
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: Situation so, yeah let me get a couple of Non seahawk.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: Ones you guys can find out a good seek one fire,
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: away but there's a couple of non sek. Ones Uh,
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: ian how much do you think would COST Us huskies
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: to get Hanness stein back back for a back three
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: to five? MILLION i think you'd have to ask yourself
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: as it worth. It it's, BEST i, mean one of
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: the best players in The big, Ten but what does
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: what does that get? You, like are you gonna HAVE
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: i Mean. Zoom let's Assume zoom's back to get you
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: to the? Tournament does it make you a national championship?
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Contender maybe. NOT i mean you've got him this year

- 1:06:33Speaker 1: nba you got to go to THE nba right? Now,

- 1:06:40Speaker 1: insane for. Him you need that cash, Money, YEAH.
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: I mean like he'll make well more than that than
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: he would have one year In.

- 1:08:00Speaker 1: digit o day lead early Against Rayner beach and that
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: didn't hold up as much to My, Chagrett, jesse you
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: have one or two.
- 1:08:06Speaker 6: Moregans, yeah this one's right across my. Bow if THE
- 1:08:09Speaker 6: nfl had actual parody the J. E T S, Jets,
- 1:08:13Speaker 6: Jets jeff would eventually be. Good, uh thank.
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: You, well you got to also have competency in the front, Office. Jets, yeah.
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: Exactly it's it doesn't have to come like that's not

- 1:08:26Speaker 4: Money, No i'll just say that.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: You Drafted Zach wilson among, Others like that's a that's
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: a you, think that's not a that's not a parody.
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: Thing, like you still have to make good.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Decisions you still have to Do you still have to
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: get what's best for the team and make good personnel.
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: DECISIONS i, mean.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: It's funny that THE nfl can kind of just rap
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: as being there's The league Of, parody and then THE
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: mlb is just like no one has a chance except The.
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: Dodgers but if you look at the last ten, years
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: there's actually been more champions IN, mlb and there's been
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: more teams that have appeared in the championship game In
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Major League. Baseball so it's just weird how the optics
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: kind of look.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: That but but if we're being, honest when you start
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: baseball a baseball season here in three weeks or two weeks, now,
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: right two weeks or.
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: Three weeks from the, day three weeks from three weeks from.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: Yesterday, right, Yeah, yeah.
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: If we're being, honest how many teams really have a
- 1:09:16Speaker 4: chance and the.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: Cream definitely rises to win the championship To, Yeah i'd
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: say like five or.
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: Six.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: Okay how many teams have a chance to get to
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: the playoffs legitimate CHANCE a. LOT i think getting the
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: playoffs is completely.
