• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Found out exchanging old stories.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Ruh, right, exactly.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been a lot more interesting to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: me than Russinian Vrabel.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Also, are you realizing how many former employees we think
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: could could really make this more interesting?
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, more interesting? I mean I don't Yeah, I don't
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: think any of those are realistic.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, but they make it way more, way more.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Interesting than Russidian Vrabel. Good morning to you, seven o'clock hour.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us. It is Chuck and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Ashley with you know Bucky Jacobson today. Greg Bell is
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: going to be joining us here in about two minutes.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But let's get to your headlines first. We'll start with
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the local hockey team, which is just completely collapsed. That
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was your make delivery of the game. We found a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: hockey fight because there really wasn't anything positive about the
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: result last night, a five to two loss to the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild. The team has lost ten out of eleven games.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: They have just five games to go, and the next
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: loss will be elimination if my math is right.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: So they are.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: On the brink and certainly are not going to make
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: some sort of miraculous comeback at this stage. The fight
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: was your McDelivery of the game. Last night's top call
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: from the Krack and Audio Network broad to my McDonald's
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: ordering the food U Crave with McDelivery as a whole
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: new way to love McDonald's ordered directly from the McDonald's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: app and select McDelivery today and start earning points.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: For free food see App four details.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Mariners lost last night two the Texas Rangers, three to two.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Once again, the offense having a tough time getting going,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: had a two nothing lead. George Kirby, who was otherwise brilliant,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: maybe a little lapse in concentration for back to back hitters,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and that little lapse led to the only three runs
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that he allowed. Otherwise complete game, eight innings, he struck
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: out eight, he allowed six hits. He was fantastic last night.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: The offense still is not. They've lost four straight. They're
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: off to a four and eight start this season. We'll
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: try to salvage a game of that series today. Eleven
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: thirty five start. Brian wu gets the ball for US,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and McKinsey Gore, the left hander they acquired in the offseason, starts.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: For the Rangers. So yes, we have faser lefty today.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Other baseball news, Connor Griffin, the nineteen year old phenom
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of the Pittsburgh Pirates, says don Colt Emerson better a
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: nine year contract given to him this morning by the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates for one hundred and forty million dollars. We'll
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: put that into context, into perspective for you a little
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: bit later on this hour, but a significant move there
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. The NFL Draft is just fifteen days away.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoz announced that he will not attend the draft.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He's going to celebrate with his family at home. Also,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold got married yesterday, and so maybe that's something
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that we'll discuss with Greg Bell.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe Greg was a flower girl. I have no idea.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Let's find out.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: It's time to talk to our Seahawks insider.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: With the Bell tolls.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelve Man
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: News with Greg Bell. Brought to you by Copola Diamond

  Speaker 7: Diamond Prosecco. Now with What Man News, here's Greg Bell
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: with Chuck and Bud. Were you an usher, a bartender?
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Did you have a roll in the Sam Darnold the
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: wedding yesterday?
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: There?
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Greg, Well, it was Friday, Okay.
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: Rancho Santa Fe, Californian there where he grew up in
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: San Clemente. I have a park cars.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Actually did you you were in valet? That's great?
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: No, no, no invitation to be.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Uh well, yeah he got married. They've they've been dating
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: for a long time.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Man, Like, she really drove a hard bargain there, Greg,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: like you become a Shepherd Bowl champion. Yeah, or you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: can forget about it, buddy.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he was actually there when he was still the Journeyman,
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: So this is somewhat legitimate. They were engaged this time
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: last year.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: He didn't just come swooping in.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: You never know what's going to pop up on a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: timeline on X. But there was this headline on this
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: tweet that was sent out and it was Hailey Steinfeld
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: attended one of Sam excuse me one of the Josh
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Allen's friend's weddings. Super Bowl champion quarterback can't get in
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the headline of Hailey Steinfeld's Twitter followers.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: That was Hailey Stanfeld fan page. I wasn't aware of
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: the Super Bowl quarterbacks.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: That was great.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, by all accounts, he's just like the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: nicest guy. There was another tweet that went out last
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: week saying that some Seahawk fan ran into him to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: get his marriage license and he stopped and took pictures
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: with him and couldn't have been kinder. I hope he
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: stays that way. But obviously they got a much better
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: quarterback than a lot of people realized when they signed
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold to a free agent, and it's pretty much
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: indisputable they got one heck of a dude. I hope
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: he stays this way. They can preserve him this way forever.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, He'll tell you it's his experiences in the Jets,
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: especially growing in a hurry and failing early in his career,
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: that matured him into being a man and made him
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: into a better person, he says, And he always talks
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: about how he wouldn't trade it looking back now. It's
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: easy to say when you're a Super Bowl quarterback with
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: a hundred million dollar contract, But he says that those
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: years of the New York formed him and just made
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: him appreciate a lot of things life, people, people who help,
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: people who advise, and he thought that was a real
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: turning point for that he became a different person, a
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: better person for having gone through all of that and
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: the journeyman status and three teams given up on him,
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: and really a fourth to count the vikings before the Seahawks.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I so I count them.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yea.
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: The Seahawks got the benefit of Sam Darnald's travels to
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: get to where he is and the whole team got
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: the better of last season.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully what is her name Katie Darnald will bit
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the benefit of that as well.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Greg mel is with us here on.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the Morning from the News Tribune,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of course, our Seahawks insider, and he joins us here
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: on this Wednesday every Wednesday through draftness. We're probably gonna
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: bug Greg Moore as we get closer to the draft
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and maybe actual real information.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Starts to trickle out.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: We've already discussed Sam's future contract and how John will
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: wait until next year when he's got one year left
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: on the deal before they start to address that. They've
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: already addressed jsins Witherspoons is supposed to happen at some
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: point this offseason, or at least that's what I'm reading
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: into it. Do you have an update on that or
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: are they just so locked in the draft that nothing
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: else matters right now?
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Well, it won't happen.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: I would be shocked if it happened between now in
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: the draft, which is April twenty third, twenty fourth, twenty fifth,
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: so that goes into May, and then McDonald Mike McDonald
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: said last week at the league meetings in Phoenix, is
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: that the off season schedule, he's going to change it
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: and he's going to push.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: It back for the veterans.
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: The very first phase of the OTA, or the off
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: season program, I should say, begins April twentieth, the week
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: of the draft, and that's meetings and weight room and
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: some on the field, basically calisthenic work in shorts, all voluntary.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: But he said he's gonna make that for the rookies
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: and younger players they are trying to develop into bigger roles.
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: The veterans starters, he's not going to run around till
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: the second phase of the off season program, which goes
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: into May. So he really wants to keep everything, including
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: the business.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: The guys just let.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: Him chill because they had the Super Bowl in the long,
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: long season into mid February. So I'm thinking that it's
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: probably going to be more to what we thought Smith
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: and Jigbas might be as well, which would be add
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: or near the start.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Of training camp the end of July. That has been.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: Typically when they've done these foundation franchise player type deals
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: and contract extensions going to the final year of a
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: guy's contract. So the tea leaves are reading summer, late
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: July into the first part of August, when Witherspoon probably
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: will make thirty one million or more per year to
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: eclipse Trent McDuffie as the highest pig corner in the league.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Well, certainly he'll be on the roster, that's no doubt
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: about that. But they are down a corner back from
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Riek Woll and they are down a safety from Kobe Bryant.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: What do you think is the area where they feel
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: thinner and might address in the draft cornerback or safety
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: or some combination of the two, like you've gotten Bryant.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're going to.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: Do a combination, I would think in the two. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: I think that Mike McDonald is targeting I know he's
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: targeting guys who have multiplicity and can play outside inside.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: Has experienced in Nickel. They are already known to have
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: visited with or about to visit with San Diego State
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: cornerback Chris Johnson, one of those guys who can play
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: outside inside, known as a good tackler at San Diego State.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: Another cornerback Toledo, Andre Fuller.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: From Toledo known to have a Top.
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: Thirty visit with the Seahawks as well multiple positions. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: would be surprised if they just took a deep post safety.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: That's all he played in college. While they have Tyle
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: Katta and the Anthony Bell they re signed, and there
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: are guys incumbents coming back to phil potentially for Kobe
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: Bryant's departure to the Bears. I don't think they're done
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: adding to the secondary at all, and that's probably one
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: of the primary positions. Another one is edge. McDonald cannot
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: get enough of players who can set the edge against
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: their run and still rush the quarterback and also drop
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: into pass coverage. He lost Boy Mafair, of course to
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: the Bengals and their huge offer that they weren't going
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: to match. So those type of players who can set
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: the edge and get to the quarterback and even it
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: sometimes has shown in the drop in the coverage. If
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: when you're looking at possibilities, more so than ever, even
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: more than Pete Carroll, you're looking for likely Seahawks draft picks,
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: look for players who can play multiple positions, have done it. Well,
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: that have speed and versatility that you can't just pigot
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: a hole, pigeonhole a guy in.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: The one spot.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Greg bellis with US Seahawks Insider. That does not address
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the running back situation. Greg, that answer, and obviously a
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: lot of twelves are a bit concerned about this, maybe
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: even worried, maybe even flummox based off of what I've seen.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: There on Twitter. Well, where are the Seahawks.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Are they just the calm duck that's floating on the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: water and churning underneath the water with their legs to
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: try to fix this hole? Or are they just are
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: they not worried about this at all, about filling this
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: running back hole that so many seem to be fretting over.
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: Well, they're less concerned than people who don't have anything
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: else to talk about between now in the next game.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: So that's always the case, right, Yeah, we have a
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: lot of time to talk and break down things and
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: think that this is a huge deal. That may not
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: be as big a deal inside the building because they
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: have other things they're moving on to and this is
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: part of a plan.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: They have sign.
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: Emmanuel Wilson from Green Bay and they are going to
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: give him a shot. He won't have the only shot,
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: and right now it's lining up as a committee. George
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: Halane's going into his third year. They've really impressed. He
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: was really impressed the coaches Halani did when he stepped
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: up in the NFC Championship Game and in the Super
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: Bowl after Zach Sharbonay got hurt. We've talked about Zach
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: Charboneay's injury and when he might come back, and even
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: best case it's probably gonna be after the season begins.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: And then they still have a couple leftovers from the
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: practice squad last year, Cam Akers Vellis Joes, who were
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: both active for the Super Bowl, and people forget Cam
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: Akers was a number one back for the Rams a
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: few years ago as a young just.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Into the league.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: They got him and had him on the practice squad
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: most of last season. They're coming back as well. Kenny
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: McIntosh had a season ending knee injury in July, the
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: year mark would be the start of training camp this job.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: It happened in early training camp last summer. They're saying
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: that while McIntosh won't be doing much of this spring,
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: that they believe he will be a part of training
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: camp now. Whether he starts on the non football injuries
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: or not ready for in some kind of injury list
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: in training camp. They do believe he's going to be
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: participating at some point during training camp. None of those
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: have proven obviously, and none of those are slam dunks,
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: and they are I think looking hard at perhaps their
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: first pick being a running back in this draft. I think, Chuck,
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: if they could trade down from thirty two, and we
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: can talk about the trade down situation I was doing
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: every year or two, I refreshed the trade draft trade
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: stats from John Schnudder's sixteen drafts. He has made a
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: trade in involving a first round pick thirteen times over
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: sixteen drafts, and of those trades, ten times he's traded
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: down from round one. Only one time as he in
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: those thirteen trades has he traded up into round one,
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: and that was when he traded Russell Wilson to Denver
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: and got two number ones and two number twos plus
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: three players for him. That's the only time he's gotten
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: higher into round one on a trade. Two times he
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: traded a first round pick to get a player Percy Harvin.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: The course in twenty thirteen, Jimmy Graham, which now he
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: told Alex Breer Monday Morning Quarterback this week that he
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: has since Snyder has since told Max Hunger that he
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: made a mistake in doing that and that it wrecked
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: his offensive line for years, which we've I've written and
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: talked about, but he has on the.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Record admitted that that he.
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: Has apologize to Max Hunger for trading him and it
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: said it ruined his offensive line for years. For the
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: Jimmy Graham trade. The point is, if he's trading, he's
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: trading down. He's made seventy four trades involving draft picks
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: over sixteen drafts, seventy four thirty three trades down only
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: fifteen we're talking fifth round, sixth rounds, seventh round, only
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: fifteen trades up and the rest are for players. So
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: more than twice as many times when he does trade
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: draft picks, it's to trade down and get.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: More draft picks.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: He only has four in this draft. I think they're
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: trading down from thirty two.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: There are a couple.
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: Teams Tennessee, Cleveland, Denver doesn't have a first round pick
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: who they could potentially trade with get a second top
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: of the second round pick and still get fourth and
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: fifth round picks, which they currently don't have. Remember it's
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: bottom of one brought rounds one, two, and three for
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: the Seahawks and then a sixth round pick, and that's it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: And we cover and know him, know that John Snyder's
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: just not going to sit around from Friday night until
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Saturday night with no picks. So expect them to trade
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: down from thirty two, and if they can trade down
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: with a team like Tennessee's at thirty five Cleveland at
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: thirty nine, plus pick up a fourth or fifth round pick,
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: and doing so, I think they could still get to
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: Darian Price of Notre Dame. I know they're interested in him,
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: They've looked long at him Pro Day talking with him.
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: Mike Washington of Arkansas is a bigger, bruiser type back
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: they are also are looking hard at and have a
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: top thirty visit scheduled with. I'd be very surprised if
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: we got out of next the draft weekend without them
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: drafting a quarterback, excuse me, a running back among the
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: five or six picks they end up with.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that that scenario that you're mapping
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: out of trading down, I mean, if this Ty Simpson
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: story is true, that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: He keeps falling.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: To me, that's the ideal scenario because now you've brought
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the Jets and the Cardinals and you might just drop
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: two spots, but because the quarterbacks involved, you might be
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: able to pick up that fourth and fifth extra pick
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: by only moving down two spots because somebody wants to
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: get the quarterback on a first rounders deal, right or.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Even Cleveland, I mean, yeah, they're not said a quarterback, right,
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: Cleveland's thirty nine. You would drop down seven spots get
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: a fourth round back, fifth early fifth round pick exactly.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: And if they do that, because they're the running back position,
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: and how it's so skewed in the draft and in
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: contracts in this league. I mean, the number one love
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: is far and away the note name number one running
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: back is far and away going to be a top
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: ten pick and the number one running back. But then
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: after that you'll see a reluctance of teams not won
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: the draft of running back. The Seahawks might be the
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: second team in the draft of draft of running back
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: and it might not happen till round two.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: All right, awesome stuff. Appreciate you. Yeah, we will be
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: bothing some homework.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wanted to show you did some home.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Works, great fantastic draft. Well, see, now you're in the spirit.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know what got you over the top, did you?
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: Darnold's well, Lamborghini's and range rope.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: How touching is it though, that Sam does this big,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: you know, the biggest day of his life, and he
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: does it in the middle of Draftmas.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Isn't that? Isn't that great?
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I'm sure Katie had a right.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I love I love her for that that she wanted
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: to have it during draftness.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: The first lady of Seattle Football.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: That's right. Well, I do appreciate it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I did notice the extra draft work that you did,

• 20:21
  Speaker 2: to the rumors that Kevin Shockey and Sean Payton were
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: both seen at a Denver bed bath and beyond looking
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: for throw pillows.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: No one seems more realistic, does it. Yeah. I mean
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: they're both in the same city, right.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: That's true. Yeah, that's how rumors get started.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't just dismiss that one right off the bat.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: We might need to look into that further.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough. I'm not saying he wasn't doing
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: that with Sean Payton. I'm just saying that the rumors.

  Speaker 5: As long as Chris Kid can get over the bridge.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, apparently he's stuck somewhere.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which, yeah, there is a bridge stuck.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's stuck behind that one.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, well that's a bummer.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess the functioning ones he's not stuck more.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what, he should pick his bridges better.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I agree, he should just be more aware of bridges
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: than their maintenance issues.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the ABC's of the MS.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So we left off of the letter you you is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: for unbelievable. A couple of these are gonna be things
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: that we've already discussed today, but I truly do want
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to kind of expand on both of these storylines. I mean,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: you know, you're just it's just not going your way.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm not making any excuses for them. They're not
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: playing good baseball, they're not hitting the baseball. They're pitching fantastic,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: but they're off to a four and eight start and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: they've earned that. But I think seven of the eight
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: starts have been by one run, seven of the eight
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: losses have been by one run to this point, and
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: obviously you're gonna have to do the little things. They've
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: played sloppy defense this year, they've run the bases in
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: sloppy fashion this year, and they're not hitting the clutch.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: So there you go. There's why you're four and eight
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: on the year. But man, you really know when things
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: aren't going your way. When Luke Rayley gets up fist
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: one down the left field line, it looks like the
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: break that you needed. You're going to start the ninth
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: inning down a run, with a runner at second base,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: a good runner, a fast runner, aggressive runner at second base,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and instead, for some unknown reason, and Jay Buhner was
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: giving him credit last night on the broadcast for Smart,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: he gets about ten feet away, fifteen feet away from
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: second base and runs back like Luke there was he
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: should have been at third before he should have been
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: at first. And I'm sitting here thinking, wait, Luke Rayley
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: is fast. I know that he wasn't loafing it out
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: of the batter's box. What is happening? I mean that ball,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: he hit that ball down the third base line. They're
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: all playing him to pull the shortstop. The third baseman's
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: at shortstop, the left fielder is practically in center field,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: and the ball hugs the line and gets trapped down
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: there by the padding. Wyatt Langford, who's a good athlete
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: with a good arm, gets to the ball, stumbles and falls,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: lobs won back into second base, and Luke Rayley standing
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: at first base. I'm what on earth happened there? And
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: didn't make any sense to me until I found out.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: He overran the bag. Yeah, like a little leaguer.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it does happen.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it doesn't happen to professional baseball players,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: but it just shows you what a bad way that
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: they're in that they can't catch a break right now,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: that Luke Raley, who's run around first base how many
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: times a million in his life, would miss the bag
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: at such a big moment in the game. And so
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: instead of starting the inning with a runner at second base,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you start the inning with a runner at first base.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: And you don't score. They'd still they would have kept playing.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: He was going to score if they got to second base,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: and instead he misses the bag, got eighty percent of
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: the way to second base and decided I can't risk that.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: I got a run back.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: To first base. And that's how that inning start. That's
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: why Luke Rayley wasn't standing at second base.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: You was for unbelievable.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when it rains, it pours ough. That's basically it, right,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: because no, I don't Yeah, I don't know how. It's
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: things that you don't ever see that are going wrong.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you do see them, just mean they
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: are rarities, Yeah, and why are they happening at pivotal moments?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: And one loss, one run games, one run losses for
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the Seattle Mariners. I also pointed this out Vias for
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: vexed and George Kirby love him.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: What a great picture. I think he said it numerous times.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Things got the highest upside in this entire starting rotation,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: and this might be the best starting rotation in the world.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: And he's got the highest upside. I mean, he hasn't
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: been a cy young candidate yet in his career. I
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: think he's going to be, and I think he will
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: be if he can fix one thing, if he doesn't
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: continue to get vexed when the bounces don't go his way.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you this because I was this pitcher.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Now I.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Got injured at the end of high school. I'm not
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: trying to compare myself to a major leaguer. So when
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I see him, I know that was the kind of
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: pitcher I was. I was so confident in my abilities
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and my location when I pitched in high school that
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: when somebody got a hit off me, I felt wrong.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Like if I executed my pitch and they dunked one
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: into left center field and three of my fielders converged,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and I felt like all three of them should have
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: had that ball, and then it falls it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I mean it just I.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't handle that well. And so here's
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and George Kirby is the exact same way. Now he's
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: got a lot more age on that mullet headed sixteen
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: year old from southwestern Illinois. Okay, it's got a lot
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: more experience. He should be out of this, but he's not.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And it was a very short little lapse. But when
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Jack Peterson got that infield single, and he's the last
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: guy on the Rangers that should get an infield single. Actually,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: maybe Jake Berger would be the last guy. They got
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of slow guys on that team take advantage
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: He gets the enfield single.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: And not only does he get the enfield single on
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a good pitch from George that should have recorded the out,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Donovan throws the ball away trying to rush it over
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: to first. So now all of a sudden, he's got
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: a guy at second base that shouldn't have been on
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: base in his head. And so the next two hitters,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the only two hitters that really squared him up the
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: entire night, where Evan Carter and Kyle Hagashioka. And his
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: concentration was just off the most little slight bit, and
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: that's all it takes for a major league hitter. Kyle
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Higashioka is not a great or even good major league hitter,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: but every major league hitter can take advantage of a mistake. Yes,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: and he hits the two run homers. So he had
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: a lapse. I think I think this is just me
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: reading into it because I feel like I can associate
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: with somebody that thinks the way that George does.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: He had.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I feel a lapse in concentration for two hitters and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: in that span of time, gave up the three runs
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the Rangers needed to win. This is the issue with him,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: and the Mariners have got to be more hyper aware
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: of this. I want them every single time George gives
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: up a hit that he should not, that he executed
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: his pitch and the guy got lucky, or the umpire
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: missed the call, or or the second baseman threw it away.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I want Kyle to use one of his visits to
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: go talk to George and tell and remind him, Hey,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: you made the great pitch happens, Let's go. I need
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: your right back one hundred percent. Focus on the next pitch.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Can't worry about that. You gotta flush it right now,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: not after the inning is over, in the dugout, not
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: after the game.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: You tell Ryan Devish that you know, I'm.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I gotta flush things like that. No, I need you
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: to flush it right now. Be better at flushing.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to do it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: You got to be able to flush it pitch to pitch,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: and he doesn't seem to be able to do it
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: that quickly.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: But I think I do.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Think you go out and you give him those mounds,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Eventually you won't need to do that anymore, he'll be
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: able to do it on his own.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to be managed. I think I do.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I might be reading it into it too much. I
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: don't have any inside information, and maybe I'm being careless
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: with my analysis, but it just it just reminds me
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: of the way that I was. Now, that's a sixteen
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: year old playing high school baseball versus a twenty seven
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: year old pitching in the major leagues.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: I realized the dark difference.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: But a personality trade is a personality trade no matter
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: where it resides. And so I know, I know that
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't in the moment flush it. I would still
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: carry my anger for that guy should be out?
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: Why is he? On my basis, he should be out?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: And I think George that affects him and the Mariners
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I think have to do be more hyper aware of
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: it and be more hands on to try to keep
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: innings from getting big after situations like that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, finally, W is for Wisdom. Patrick Wisdom is a
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: a veteran third baseman who's down in Tacoma and apparently hitting.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: A home run every night.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Oh and I think he's got like seven and ten games.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: And yes, it looks to us like, man, we could
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: really use that power. And Patrick Wisdom, I think is capable.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: He's very fit.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Saw him in spring training, very fit guy, and I
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: think that he could come up and possibly provide a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: little bit of a spark. I do think he's capable
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: of that. But that's not what's wrong with the Mariners.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: We're not making roster moves. We're not sending guys down
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: or taking somebody off the roster for Patrick Wisdom. Right now,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: what we have will work. It's not working right now,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: but it will. I just heard a conversation with former
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Reds general manager Jim Bowden, who's now on the media
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: side of things, and he said the Mariners on paper
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: are in maybe a cut below the Dodgers, but are
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: on the second level. I mean, this is a team
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: that doesn't have to worry about starting four and eight
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: because they're just that good.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: And that's the way that I feel.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: That's coming from a general manager's mouth, and pretty much
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: everybody that has ever been employed by Major League Baseball
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: is going to tell you, twelve games into a season,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: weird things can happen, and a short sample size, this
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: team is not playing up to caliber. Not up to snuff,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: not up to their talent, but they're going to They're
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: going to iron it out and those breaks that they're
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: not getting. There's going to be a stretch of games
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: later this year where it's going to feel like they
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: got every break, games that they didn't out play the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: other team. But they're going to win those games over
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: the course of one hundred and sixty two games. This
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: is why you play one hundred and sixty two. The
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: cream rises to the top. They are. They're in a
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: bad stretch right now. They got some bad juju going on,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: and they're playing bad period.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: It's all bad, but they are going to play well
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: and they are going to get some good juju before
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: the season comes to a close to balance some of
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: this out on behalf of Jim Boden and myself.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Do not worry, do not panic. They're fine. I don't
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: feel any differently than I did with them at four
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: and four. They're going to be fine, all right. Coming
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: up next, we get Reckless at Breakfast. Now we see
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: why the Mariners wanted.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: To get out ahead of the cold Emerson thing. Right,
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: we'll talk about an next.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM I
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: know what you're thinking. I hope today gets reckless at
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: breakfast with all of the rumors involving former KJAR employees
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: and NFL head coaches.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: But I'm not going to do that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I want I want to talk about cold Emerson. I
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: don't want to talk about the fabulous sports babe and
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Sean McVeigh found marrying matching robes at a Hilton Garden end.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: I don't want to know.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, no, we wouldn't. That would be silly.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We've got other things that we can talk about
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: grow up out there, you know.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: I want to discuss those things, right, I don't want
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: to talk about We don't want to do that, Yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: not at all, Not for one second. Do I want
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: to discuss that?
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: You know? I do?
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about Sean McDermott and Tim Liota,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: you know, locked in each other's eyes at Einstein's Bagels.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about that.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I do want a bagel.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Though, I do too. Now, yeah, now that I mentioned.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: That, thanks for that.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Cole Emerson because we had this story
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: ourselves a couple of weeks ago that how could you
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: give a twenty year old the eight years, ninety five
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: million dollars when he hasn't proven anything at the major
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: league level. I defended the Mariner's decision. I even went
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: as far as saying, I think that it was a
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: terrible move by the agents because probably cost his client
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of future earnings the way that salaries are
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: flying through the roof these days in.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Major League Baseball.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Well, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Connor Griffin pulled an old
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: hold my beer because Griffin this morning was signed by
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the Pirates to a nine year, one hundred and forty
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: million dollar deal. And so this is the nineteen year
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: old phenom that has emerged as the number one ppect
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: in the sport. And even though he wasn't even hitting
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: all that well in spring training, the Pirates still recognized
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: him as one of their best nine players. So three
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: games into the year, they announced that they were going
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: to activate him so he could be there for the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: home opener of the brand new season, and in his
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: first at bat, doubled off the left center field wall.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: He's drawn comparisons to Alex Rodriguez as a prospect, so
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: this guy seems to be quite special, and the Pittsburgh
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: pirates wanted him to feel that way. So nine years,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: one hundred and forty million dollars is the deal. And
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I think we can have the exact same conversation here.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: You know that entire how much of your future earnings
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: do you give up just to be comfortable now? And
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I think for Connor Griffin, this is I mean, there're
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: certainly some positive things to it. I mean, this is
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: like a fifteen and a half million dollars per year
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: deal that he's agreed to. So he became rich this morning,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: and he's nineteen, so he'll be come a free agent
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: at twenty eight, and you know in his hot head
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: and in his agent's head that he'll still be smack
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: dab in the middle of his prime and then he'll
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: get his monster contract from twenty eight to thirty eight,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: And so why not take the money now? But and
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: so you could apply the same thing to Colt Emerson
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: as well. He'll be twenty nine at the end of
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: his nine year deal because it's really a nine year
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: deal with the Mariners, and we'll have that same sort
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: of earning potential beyond. So he's taking the sure thing,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: even if it does cost him a little bit of
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: cash over the course of the nine years. The thing
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: that I would point out one of the reasons that
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I said that this was a good time to sign
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Colt Emerson, is you want to be able to.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: Set your own bar.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Because I said, Connor Griffin is going to come up,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and JJ Weatherholt is probably going to come up from
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals, and a few other guys are probably going
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: to come up, And so do you want to chase
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: the money or do you want to set the bar
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: yourself for your guy?
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: And look what happened. Now Connor Griffin is considered an
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: even greater prospect.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Than cold Emerson. I mean Colt's top ten, Griffin's number one.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless, I mean same risk that you're taking zero
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: major league experience or next to zero with Connor Griffin.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: And yet we're going to commit nine years to him
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: one hundred and forty million dollars, even though he hasn't
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: proven that he can hit major league pitching. We're going
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: to do it. And so they raised the bar considerably higher.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: So now all of a sudden, it looks like cold
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Emerson might have been a steal at eight years, ninety
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: five million dollars.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because they and you do have that that
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: ninth year option, Yeah, for the one hundred and thirty five.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: But that means that he's playing well and you want
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: to use that. That's not something that you have to do.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: So I think it was a great move. It's and
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: we brought up the similarities to between what the Seahawks
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: did with JSM.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: You sign him now.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: You don't wait for Pouk and Thekupa to sign his
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: contract to then have to beat him a similar situation.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: You don't wait for other teams to start signing their
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: top ten prospects and then all of a sudden, here
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: you are with your number seven prospects saying, uh, oh,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: now we got to pay him nine years, one hundred
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: and fifty million.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: And if any good agent, I mean, you know what
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: they're gonna do. I mean, they might not go as
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: far like I'll just throw out JJ Weatherholts from the Cardinals.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: His agent might not say, well, we got to have
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: more than Griffin. I think there is a recognition that
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: that's the number one guy. But I guarantee you that
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: agent saying but we want more than Emerson, right, So okay,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: we're not going to ask for more than Griffin, but
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: we do want it in between the two of them
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: because the field has been set for what these just
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: arriving on the scene top prospects are worth. And so
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see if it starts an avalanche. I
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: had suggested. I thought it was great timing for Emerson
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: to get out ahead of the avalanche. But now the
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: avalanche is coming, and I think maybe that you figured
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: out how to con the avalanche. It's going to be
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: between Griffin and Emerson. But I'm glad that we set
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: the bar on the low end because I think a
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: few more guys are going to agree to these terms.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Here in the next few weeks.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up next time to preview the Masters.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: He joins us every week to talk about the majors
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: and provides for you excellent advice to perhaps make yourself wealthier.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: It's the Las Vegas golfer himself, Brady Cannon joins us
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: next on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
