  Speaker 1: First of all, shout out to Jackson, you and everybody.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: So far, so good. Our coverage is sensational on the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: iHeart Network app our station and across the country. All
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I've heard is great things and being dead serious to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: by the way, like people sometimes think I'm being sarcastic
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: when I'm giving compliments regarding iHeart or the state, I'm
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: hearing you guys are killing it and well done. Great
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: job by everybody involved. Jackson's forty eight pages of prep
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: work paid off yesterday out here, So it's pretty cool.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I know the World Cup is not for everyone. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: get that, we all get that. I think I heard
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you with Greg on earlier, and I tend to agree.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was Greg saying this as this thing goes,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and especially once the I think you said it us
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: playing tonight, and for me locally, just locally here, I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: kind of hope the manners get rained out or something, yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: because I just want people to, hey, let's take a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: peek at that tonight. What you said is bang on, right.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: If if they can get out and score like like
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: have a win, that's not one nil, that's there's some
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: action we need. This is the way we are I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: mean a soccer guy can criticize this country all we
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: want in terms of their fans, there is a reality
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to it. We are who we are. They want scoring,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they want stuff to happen, right, And so I think
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: if if this team does go out and gets a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: couple of goals and kind of get some momentum, they'll
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: be really big for the sport.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: And I look at what happened and maybe you're not
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: on the social media stuff with what's the reaction after
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the Mexico game yesterday, but my god, that entire country
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: is on fire after that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Well, but it's their sport exactly so for us, So
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: for us, we need something to latch onto. And I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: mean it's a good question for the text line at
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: four nine four or five to one. You know what
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: what what would get you fired up? But would get you,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you know, engaged? And you know, you may be one
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that says I'm not not even to give it a shot,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: or you may be someone that's kind of open mind
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to say, let's take a peek. I mean, it's our
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: country playing on the world stage. I think that's compelling enough.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think you anything else. Yeah, And I think
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I know hockey, Like hockey, hockey's not for everyone. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: then the Olympics come around and everyone's in. Everyone's all
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of a sudden talking about, you know, the power play.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: They have no idea what the power play is two
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: weeks ago and they're talking about it, right, and you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: know it helps. Like our women's team in soccer is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: really good, but I don't know if that helps the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: In fact, I know it doesn't help this at all.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They're so unrelated. It's like when you compare Angel Reese's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: stats to Shacks, which some people ESPN I'm talking you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: like to do. Sometimes they're two different sports, two different people,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: two different everything. But yeah, like our women's team has
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: always dominated in soccer and women's hockey. Our men's team
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and hockey has caught up, for sure, no doubt that's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: proven this year. But soccer still got a long ways
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to go. And I'm hoping it's fun. I oh, by
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the way, late at one o'clock today to the show.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Oh my buddy Gary from the Halls, Queen Anne mos Bee.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And Auk I have seen watch parties go absolutely nuts.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: He's gonna join us because I drove by the as
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I drive I drive in off of ninety nine and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: jump off right down by the stadiums right, and I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: was looking like outside their place the Occidental Beer Haul,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Like there's all kinds of stuff set up and he's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: gonna come on. kJ Roff did this, who's a GM
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: at Silver Cloud with Softy a couple of weeks ago.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have Gary on.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, Like, if you're going down or you want to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: go to the viewing party, you're going to the game
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in the matches?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: How?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, How it's a great question. How do you navigate
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: your way around? Yes, because there's we have potentially some
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: shows scheduled for Jimmy's on first if we're being honest,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: logistically we're still working on it, yeah, because we're not
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: sure how like getting equipment, parking, getting there, it's it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a challenge. So we'll talk to Gary because like that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Occidental Beer Hall is next to the entrance to lumen Field.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It should be just crazy busy, but can people get there?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And can you get there if you don't have a ticket,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk to him about that. Coming up at
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: one o'clock for a few minutes. Danie O'Neil at one
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: twenty today, we're gonna get to Brendan Sooresby a lot
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: with him at one twenty today, so I'm looking forward
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to that with Danny Danny O'Neill. Also, we're gonna check
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in with Corbyn Smith at two will put a bow
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on Mini Camp. He was out there yesterday. Just the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: way the schedule work, we can get him on his
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: normal Thursday. So we're gonna have Corbanon at two o'clock
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: today from Emerald City Spectrum, and I think he's gonna
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: blast jail in Milroe.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Sounds good.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I walked out yesterday in a break and I'm kind
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of in and out of the vMac of the Virgin
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Ais Athletic Center doing the studio there, and in and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: out I walked at one point and Corbin's like shaking
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: his head, goes, I don't know, six is really struggling,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, it's a thirst string quarter I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: was gonna say it's a third string quarterback. It isn't it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: He is.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He's also a guy that they drafted with the hope
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that they could develop and also he could be a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: weapon before they need to have him as a starter.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe he hasn't got to that, like,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of course, let me just say this. If that is
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: your biggest issue, then that's a good thing. If you're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the clc X right now, that's that's a good thing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yellow got a yellow card in Canada early? Who are
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they playing?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Bosnia and hurt Segovina? Who Bosnia?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Thanks?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Who's Who's What's what's Bosnia's last name?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: They have two names, Bosnia and hurt Segovina. Did you
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: actually see there was like a BA football team from
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: back in the day. Is it's like, look lacrosse washed Tucto.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: That's a tough challenge. Uh yeah, I think so. That's
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that's only a yellow, right, Yeah, it should be.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: There was a really cool video though that I saw
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a giant like crowd of Bosnia fans.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Mark to Toronto.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I saw that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're in Toronto right now, right, Yes, in Toronto?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: US starts later tonight. We'll get into that a little
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: bit too as well. Today Mariners get the the loss
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: yesterday and Brian who is not happy with himself at all.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Uh water's wet.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Uh well, Greg went through it earlier. I mean, we
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't have to keep going through it over and over again.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But his road home splits are pretty massive, right, like
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: they're they're not good. He's really good at home, he's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: really bad on the road. And yesterday he kind of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: got lit up. He gave up the six and I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: mean give him a team credit. They're down six to one. Yeah, Rain,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Rain's falling like it feels like we're just going and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: tap out and move on to to DC.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It's almost not much more frustrating, though, because if you
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: get an average start from a lot of people to
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: believe your best pitcher, you win the game.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Someone asked me earlier, who the who's going to the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: All Star Game for the Mariners, And you would always
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: think just an automatic would be a pitcher, and it's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: not this year. I don't think they have a picture
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: going to the also.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: They Hancock should. I don't know if he will.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Name recognition the way baseball works, he will, Well, they
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: have a lot, there's a lot of really good pictures
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and the American League and it's I mean, Julio and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Randy right should be and that's it. Yeah, it's crazy
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you think the runner up for the MVP won't be there,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but I mean, obviously not just being hurt, he wouldn't
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: have been there anywhere, No, he would. They're not taking
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a guy hitting one twenty. Although he's lightened up, Softy
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and fader down at the ballpark today, down rains, they
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: are stadium and he's still there. Last I checked, I'm
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: seeing and he notices that he's been called up, so
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: he'll be there tonight, which would be fun for those
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: guys to be down there doing the show that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Soft you been called up.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Stop it Wo actually gave up the seven earned runs
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: over that. He is on the road right now, one
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in five, a five point nine to three ERA, twenty
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: nine earned runs and forty four innings is what Brian
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Wu has done on the road and home starts this season.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: He's four to zero with a two point three seven ERA.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Now you'll see home road splits four hitters sometimes and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: for some pitchers that like if you're going well, you're
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in a hitter's ballpark, non hitters ball play, those are extreme,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like that's yeah, those are extreme. And he talked about
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a post game I you know, I prepare the same
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: way I do all those there's something mentally there, like
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: there's something not right there. And what started out is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: like wow, they win your first two games in four
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: game series against Baltimore. Like the worst case scenario gonna
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: win the series and take three or four end of splitting.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So it's not quite as uh not quite as conducive
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: as it was before to that. But nevertheless, they get
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: out it tonight and uh and away we go. So
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that's the Mariner topic of the day. We're gonna talk
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to you. I had Drake Thomas on yesterday. Oh did
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you see the rings?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah, yes.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I said, just on a flippant, just off the cuff
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: nature a couple of times this week before the ceremony,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, these things are going to be crazy, extravagant.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I was expecting to see, but
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that's like more than I ever could have envisioned or anybody, right, right,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they did it, right though. Softy had a great tweet
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: last night because I mean they just this is one
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of the things like how they did it. They lowered
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: for people to know, they lowered the rings from the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: roof of this wherever they were at last night, yep,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and they dropped it, you know, they in.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Front of each player.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like so so cool, Like just the production value
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: alone everything about it was first class. And you know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Softie said, you know, they better not let Joey, don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: make Jody sell the team. Unfortunately, there's no choice, it's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: in the trust. But it just shows, you know how,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Let's just say the Allen family has run things. It's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: just everything about it is first class. Like a ring ceremony,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Like last time they had usher at the MoPOP. That's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: what happened last time. And the rings were for that time,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you know, extravagant.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: They had metro boomin it was a famous DJ. Yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: was there kind of DJing the whole thing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: They they just do things right. It's crazy, and like
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you just you want that for your team because it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I think there is a big part of how you
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: operate as a business that can translate to how things
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: go on the field. Uh, those guys know that everything
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they're doing is for a first class organization, and like,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: like you just think about whoever you work for, how
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: much more incentivized are you and you know that the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: people up top really care and want value you and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: want everything done first class. I mean I say this often.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I've only been with him for two years. Everything the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Crack can do off the ice is unbelievable, like that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff you're describing.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's I mean, that's how it is, and to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: have a ring ceremony like that. But you know, yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: well we'll get there.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure hopefully in our lifetime we'll get there,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: all right, But yeah, I just I thought last night school,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't the rings themselves and and people
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: checking them out are awesome. All Canada opportunity squandered?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: How do you not score that? Sorry for those of
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you who have recorded the game, I'm not sorry.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah you're gonna hear us. I'm rooting hard for Canada.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And who was that? That wasn't Davies?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Is he playing?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: He's playing? Is he playing?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Okay? You know what's amazing to me kind of just
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: just a quick soccer thought. Yeah, how the inability of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: so many soccer players to finish either the ball goes
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a zillion miles over the crossbar or in that case,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you chunk one like I hit a four iron, yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and like you get nothing on, Like what is wrong
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: with you? Because if you watch him make a pass,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: it's so like guys will do tape to tape, as
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you'd say in hockey from fifty yards out?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, first, can't you bury a goal like that?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, the shooting percentage of the soccer
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: is very much higher than it is in hockey. They
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: just don't have as many of them, right right, So that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Guy just that's like my, my, you fifteen girls when
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I was last coaching, would have buried that shot. The
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: guy hit it off the inside of his ankle. God,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that's awful, dude, like off his ankle. He's a world
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: class player, goes off his ankle.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: World class. It's Canada. Let's be completely honest. Come on, now, you.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Know the best thing about Canada playing their first game
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: in Toronto, Yeah, is that they will turn on these
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: guys so quick because it's Toronto. It's Toronto, Like it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the second things are going south, so good, and they're
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: gonna it's it's gonna be like Mitch Marner's out there
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: for the Maple Leafs. They're gonna turn on these guys
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: so quick and so hard.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: And then when it's in Vancouver, it's gonna be like
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: e p Porty out there.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It's just it's the most miserable fan base in all
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of North America is based in Toronto, Canada.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And now they had a golden opportunity to take a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: lead and the guy chunks it off his ankle. Ah,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: they're just gonna lose their mind. That'll be entertaining as hell. Yeah,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break. Come back Drake Thomas.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Great story. We'll hear a little bit from him coming
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: up next.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Now back to Ian Furness on your Home for the
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Huskies Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you by

• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks for all their hospitality and helping us out.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday, we tried to talk to Drake Thomas, but
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: we had a little technical glitch with a power surge
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: outage of the Virginia Mason Athletics Center. Our equipment got fried,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: literally fried. Yeah, So Drake Thomas was standing there, he goes, yeah, man,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: there was a power surge or something and we just
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: saw it and I'm like, okay, Well, that makes sense,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and this is what a radio guy looks like when
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: he's in panic mode. Anyway, he came back yesterday Seahawks
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: starting linebacker who made one of the biggest plays of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the season as well one of the better stories on
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the team. He, like everybody else, got a ring last night,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and then we started out with Drake asking how he's.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Doing, doing well, doing well?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: So it's over until July twenty fifth.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, I had a good, good offseason, great mini camp.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: It was great being around the guys, working together, getting
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: out on the field again, refreshing everything, and honestly, just
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: more than anything being back out there with the guys.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: So, Andrews, do you have the piece of audio for me?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Second goal down by ten?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: That ball was tipped by think tall.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Hands of McCaffrey and into the arms of Drake Thomas.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: You had a smile on your face when you heard
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: like the first words out of Joe Buck's mouth.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: What was that like? Surreal? Honestly?
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I as soon as I think you
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: said what second and ten or something? Yeah, I knew
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: the audio that was playing that moment was surreal. In
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: the moment, I don't even think it registered ball just
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: popped up right in my hands. It's just a blessing
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: right there.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Can that play itself just walk us through what it
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: was because you made everyone makes talks about the fact
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that you made the play on the ball, like and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it was a ball skill play. After McCaffrey, you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: had it kind of there for a second, but you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: had to make a terrific ball skill play. But you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: also were right there like like, I don't know if
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you read the play something you guys have seen on tape,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: but but that's in football play, especially a huge play,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it's usually more than just making the play.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: There's a lot leads up to that. How well prepared
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: were you for that play?
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: I mean that plays honestly, no matter how prepared I
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: was for that play, That's a difficult play to make
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: for a linebacker. In any situation, you're pretty much one
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: on one with the back and he has a two
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: way go on. You can go inside or you can
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: go outside, and he can work it however he wants
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: to that set. I knew that's what I was gonna
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: get that option round out of the backfield, and we're
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: taught to take inside leverage and have the running back
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: break outside.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Uh so. But you know, when you're.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: On the ten yard line whatever, inside the red zone,
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: when you're that tight, there's not a lot of room
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: for error. So you know, as soon as you force
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: him to break out, you just gotta be in chase mode.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: So I mean, that's that's really the approach I took.
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: And you know that's what happened, right, Like, I had
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: him break out and I'm chasing him down, just trying
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: to in my mind he bang bang play, he catches it,
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: I tackle and we live on seat third down and
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: then yeah, I mean I'm chasing the ball, pups.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Up and it's like gotta get it, and it's that dude. Yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: how hard is that dude to defense?
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's a great player, he's a great player.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Was a little bit I think got tipped or something
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: like that, Mafe tipped it. But yeah, he brings up.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: He brings so many matchup issues and problems that you
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: got to be ready for. And he's a hard guy
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: to cover. He runs the ball hard. He's a really
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: good running back.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Drake Thomas with me Ian Ferness here at the Virginia
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Mason Athletics and we had a chance to talk to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Drake a couple times last season on the phone, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: great to see in person. I appreciate coming back and
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: all joking aside doing this again today, You're one of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the best. I love good stories. I think we all
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: love great stories. And we talked about this a few
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: times last season. You mentioned it. You're five eleven, two
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: twenty eight. You weren't drafted. You had a hell of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a career, like a hell of a college career, but
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you weren't drafted, and you've had to fight your way
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: up to get to that moment, and then the next
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: moment was three weeks later in the super Bowl in
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that same stadium. Have you had a chance to kind
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of take it all in and just think about where
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you are now and where you were three or four
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, for sure.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: I'm definitely grateful for where I am versus where I was,
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: But I'm also grateful for the entire journey.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I've learned so much along the way.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: I've taken so much from those experiences that I've been
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: through and carry with them with me now that will
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: help me only it only helped me grow going forward,
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: get better as a player, as a person. In so
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: many different ways. So yeah, I mean I've reflected a
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: lot on my journey and what I've been through, and yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: so I'm definitely grateful.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Drake. What is it?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're in a great situation, but you're also
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: playing for a coach. It just you hear this a
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: lot from guys. You know, everyone's a good chance to compete,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Like all ninety guys out there today have the same
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: equal chance and all those things. But it feels like
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: this is a coach that truly does get. I mean,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I think you're one of those great examples. Tyle Cott
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: is a great example of that. There's a lot of
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: dudes out there that have been given like, hey, just
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you show what we can do and you're gonna be rewarded.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: How much of your journey do you also give credit
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to Mike just to give you that opportunity.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, Mike along with the whole staff, with the
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: whole organize, really they they there is a lot of
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: opportunity out there for young guys to make a name,
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: to to work a role out for themselves. You just
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: got to show up every single day and be the
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: same guy, and you got to fit into what they're
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: trying to build. You got to buy into who we're
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: trying to be as a team, as an organization, and
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: it's been made clear that if you do that, then
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: you're gonna be one of one of our guys. So,
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: you know, I give a lot of people credit, a
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: lot of people credit.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Mike.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: You know, Ko has been my linebacker coach for the
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: past two years. Here a d the whole defensive staff,
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: the special teams, Jay, I mean, he believed in me
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: to to start out on special teams and make an impact.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: The front office for claiming me when I was in
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: Vegas and I was cut. I mean, there's a number
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: of people that that I'm grateful for and I give
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: credit to for for believing in me and giving me
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: opportunity to go be me.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: If I was in Vegas doing a radio show, I'd
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: be like and watching that game that play like this,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: dude started a fourteen games for the Super Bowl champions,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the best defense in the NFL.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: What the hell are we doing here?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But that's that's that's neither here and the interview the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: but fourteen games started. While you've established yourself as a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: start of the NFL, do you feel comfortable. I mean,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: this is such a cutthroat league. It's like you're here,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You're gone, Guys get cut, guys move and all that stuff.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Is there any part of you that allows yourself to say, Hey,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I walk into that locker room, this is my home,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: this is where I should be re signed all those things.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: But like have you feel any comfort in that at all?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Or is you still like fighting like you got to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a I'm still fighting for a spot every day.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: I think the approach stays the same as far as
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: like that, like, yeah, I'm gonna work like I'm fighting
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: for a spot, Like that doesn't change, like the process,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: the approach that the whole uh, the whole thing doesn't change.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: Like I'm very comfortable and confident in who I am
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: as a player and a person when I walk in
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: the building. But that doesn't that doesn't like let me
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: relax on a day to day. I'm still gonna attack
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: every single day and like basically just like empty the tank,
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: like you know, I'm still that because that is me,
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: all that like everything that made me that I've been
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: through and and brought me to here, Like that's still
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: who I am and that's what has got me here.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: So like I'm not gonna change anything about myself because
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: it might be labeled as an NFL starter now, Like
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, it was the same way in college, Like
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: I was, this is me and it's worked for me,
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: and I'm gonna I'm gonna buy all like buy into
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: it and I'm gonna stay true to myself.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Drake Thomas with us. How different is it this year
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: as the defending champs? Does anything feel different? Is anything
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: approached differently how Mike does things, how you guys approach
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: mini camp and ota? Is Is there anything any different
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: feel out there as a defending champs?
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: It feels like, you know, the guys are just back
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: out there having fun playing football together. I don't think
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: there's some you know, like you don't feel like a
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: target on your back or anything when you're out there
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: just having fun and just being in the moment, being
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: intentional to watch at about what you do and trying
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: to be the best players and team unit team as
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: you can be. It's not doesn't really feel very different.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: It's it's the same thing. It's the same process. We
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: just start over again.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Targets on a team in southern California. That's kind of good.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I mean you guys kind of like that, right, Like
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: it's like everyone's like there's people like Dan, I don't
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: if you saw the quote Dan Campbell had a great
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: quote the Lion's Coach. He's like, well, I guess they
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: already won the title, like whatever. It's like like it's
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: but that's kind of the feeling. It's like, wow, look
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: with the Rams, then you guys are defending champs and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: people are probably gonna be looking elsewhere, which I think
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you kind of like that, don't you doesn't this organ
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: like it might kind of plays that up a little.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: Bit, I mean to me either way, like whether people
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: want to put a target on our back or people
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: want to put it elsewhere and count us out, Like
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: I don't care.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Yea, it is what it is. It doesn't change anything
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: about Uh.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: I don't think it changed anything about any of the
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: guys processes or how they approach it right the day, like, it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Doesn't it shouldn't affect anything.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, tell me about yesterday. Now, I got an insider
• 21:48

  Speaker 7: didn't play in high school? Uh, but I mean I
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: can I can play. Yeah, I'm not. It's been a
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: while though, So like.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: How long did it take for you guys to kick in?
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Like what did the kids say? Something like how long?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Because I heard it got fun? Like it was really fun.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: First of all, what a dream for those young PEOs.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I know, but what did it just like all, hey,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: we're gonna play your kids now we're not.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: So yeah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: We had a couple of different groups and then like
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: so there was a group that went into the gym.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: First.
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: I was going and torn some other places and I
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: came in the gym and I saw the playing. I
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: was like, in the back of my mind, I was.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Like, should I play?
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: And it's like I want to play, and so I
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: ended up just saying like I'm trying to play next,
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: and then we got into a game and then went
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: from there.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I got next.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I didn't because I was wondering how much
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: you played, Like like, you know, you've heard the term, like,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you know, la fitness, try hard guy? Yeah, yeah, is
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that true?
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Has it come in?
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Who's that guy? Who's that guy out there for you?
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It might have been me. I don't
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: know that it might have been me. I mean it
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: got competitive out there. So I love what. I'm not
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: going to back down.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Hell no, that's that's why you're out of the situation
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: in right now. Two more things for you. One would
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: be this that what they did yesterday, what Mike did yesterday.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I just listened as a as someone who's been in
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: this community for a long time, and as a parent
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and everything else. I thought it was awesome. And this
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: is the time of the year. There's some football coaches
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: be like, I only get X number of days and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: minutes with these guys. We're gonna go every second we
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: can on football. But he you know, short walks through
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: yesterday and then you guys go do that whether the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: VA Hospital, Children's Ron McDonald house or Doug's place.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: As a player, what does that mean? Because getting out
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in the community is important, but at the same time
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you have a coach that believes that's important too. Yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it probably brings you guys together.
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: I mean this, Uh, this whole thing is bigger than
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: just us, is bigger than wins and losses.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: This sport has brought us a real platform and oportunity
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: to make a difference and touch people in different ways,
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: you know, Uh, make impact on people's lives. So I
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: think that's our responsibility and going out and trying to
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: do that to the best of our ability.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: So to to have a organization and coach that believes
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: that and sees it the same way, I think it's
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: pretty cool.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up with this at some point when
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: you're done here and get a bike to eat and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: shower and all that. You guys later on today, get
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: your rings. That's I mean, how jacked are you to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: get I mean, that's it's all about. That doesn't matter
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: what sport you play, at what level you play, it's
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: about winning a title. But when you know that there's
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a ring and I know I know from what the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: last ones looked like. These guys don't spare any expense.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: It's like Jody's Jody and in company. It's it's gonna
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: be something special. What's that going to mean? When you
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: get handed that ring?
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: That's gonna be super special. I feel like you're at
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: the pinnacle of the sport, you know, when you win
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: the Super Bowl and finally have that moment to get
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: that ring. It's what you dream of as a kid.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: So I'm super excited to go do that tonight and honestly,
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: above all else, just celebrate and hang out with my guys.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: So what do you do with the ring? Probably put
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: it in a safe and just keep it there forever. Yeah,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean I probably won't be wearing
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: that out in public very often.
• 25:12

  Speaker 1: handball Bosnia is they are? They are. I'm not a fan.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: They kind of leave that extra foot in after every
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: kind of greasy man they are. They are kind of greasy.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Do what it takes to win man. Yes, And I'm just.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Checking Twitter here because I follow a lot of people
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: north of the border obviously, of course you do. It's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: not going well.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: You have an American coach, which I think is quite
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: hilarious by the way, and our coaches from Argentina and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Canada's coaches from US.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in the World Cup. That makes no sense.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: It is funny because during the coach he's good. During
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: the last World Cup in twenty twenty two, he was
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of people's why isn't this guy the US
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: coach right now?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: And you know, I guess they had higher sights than
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: this guy because uh he went to Canada.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Well, and they're down one nil at halftime. Spoiler alert, Yes, yeah,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: it's so see no buddy, Jeff Patterson. J pat spent
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: twelve dollars in a Canada T shirt. Not money well invested,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: not money well invested, all invested. There's some others. People
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: are losing it north of the border. And again it's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: happening in Toronto, which is just like the most negative
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: city in the world in terms of sports. Yep, God,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I want to see Canada win. This is where I
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: this is where I think the money's at. Here's my
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: betting tip of the day, Andrew, you tell me, Okay,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I have to go back and see what it was,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: because while it's all live now, soon might take a
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: grind to do so. I think I think betting a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: draw for a lot of games is a good call for.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: A lot of games.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't had one yet, I know, but like
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Canada is going to even this thing up and it's
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: an end one one, okay you think.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I think if Canada evens it up, it depends on
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: how much time's left they might push on to win
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: because they've been dominating the game, Bosnia. I just got
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: lucky from a corner. Canada is feeling the pressure they
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: need to win this game. They're at home.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I got to get my ass up to the still.

  Speaker 12: busy day for sure, Gary.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: How is this like the World Cup? But you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: we always hear that sas sports. This is I say,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: we always hear. We've heard in the past from city
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: council people and others in our city that sports don't
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: have any economic impact and all of that. And yet
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I'm looking downtown. The waterfront's bustling. The bro barge is
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: what it is. But there's other places going on your place,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: maybe Jimmy's on First wherever it might be. What kind
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: of boost is the World Cup for you guys?
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: You know, I'll tell you, first of all, we've been
• 34:35
  Speaker 12: scared that it wasn't going to be huge. I mean,
• 34:37
  Speaker 12: there's that all that hype and everybody's been worried. But
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: I'll say you, yesterday when the World Cup started, all
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: three of our loplications were full for both matches, and
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: that's just a huge confidence booster for us. Like you said,
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: I was driving to the water front yesterday and it's
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: just bustling and packed all down there.
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: So we're our.
• 34:54
  Speaker 12: Outlook is huge. I mean, it's definitely millions of dollars
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: for us. All three locations are playing every single match.
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: We're anticipating after yesterday that we'll be busy all the time,
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: especially those USA matches.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: I mean tonight Oux in.
• 35:06

  Speaker 1: locations tonight? For if people go watch the US game,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I would get there early.
• 35:18
  Speaker 12: I mean saying four o'clock is probably a great time
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: for six o'clock match. We're anticipating the other two to
• 35:23
  Speaker 12: have lines outside for sure, but we're going to get
• 35:26
  Speaker 12: as many people as we can inside. The last World
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: Cup four years ago, it was just such a massive parties.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: There was so much fun.

• 36:01
  Speaker 12: and Mexico, Germany, Belgium. These are all huge teams that
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: we get a lot of folks already to the halls
• 36:07

• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you know, go to one of the other places. Support local,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: especially my guys at the halls. But I can't even

• 36:56
  Speaker 1: to at the Cleanland Hall? The match?
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: The final?
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: No?
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: No, no, like a couple weeks ago.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: What did I go to it?
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Or you're talking about going to it was like the
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Champions League?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, the Champions League final. It was when
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Arsenal played PSG. It was an awesome experience. You know,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I want to make sure it was being plagues was
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: before they open, and of course they do there there
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: might go to the Queen.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Answer, they're kind of the state. I know there used
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: to be the other place down in Fremont, but like
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: it's not as big that like the queen An beer halls,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: like a soccer play.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're talking about Orge and the Dragon, which I
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: do like, but I think it's surpassed that for me
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: in terms of a soccer place to go watch games
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: because it's big. You can you know, you're going to
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: get a seat like un let's you know, you get
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: maybe show up a little bit later, as Gary was
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: mentioned in there. But yeah, highly recommend it if you're
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: looking for a place to watch a game.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. I would. I think it's gonna be awesome.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Well, they had like breakfast stuff going on as well
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: during the final last year.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they're gonna be doing similar stuff.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Well, And I just kind of look at it too,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Andrews like this, there is a like the offshoot of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the World Cup here and anywhere else like, but especially here,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: like it's so far in LA. I don't think I
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: think he could safely assume there's not much of an impact.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Well, because it's it's an inglewood exactly.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: There's nothing around it nothing, there's nothing around that stadium.

• 39:47
  Speaker 10: If if the Sonics, hopefully reincarnated to were to make
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: the finals, I would feel obligated to even if it
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: was like running a gauntlet at an initiation, I would
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: feel but no, I'm not gonna I'm not going to
• 40:02
  Speaker 10: solicit that sort of thing for a team that I
• 40:04
  Speaker 10: don't even really care that much about.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: This first how bad is it there though?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: In terms of what's going on, like Mike Greenberg's yelling
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: and screaming on top of his lungs about you know
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: what's going on? And I mean I know that there's
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: been some things, some riots, and you know, you even
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: wrote about it. What are the rules of fandom? There's
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of different rules we can look at. Where
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: do we start, Well, let's go with that.
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: The answer to the question how bad is it, it's
• 40:31
  Speaker 10: not very bad. And in fact, most people here who
• 40:34
  Speaker 10: are celebrating are doing things like just going out in
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: the street and yelling, let's go nick. The other night,
• 40:41
  Speaker 10: in my neighborhood where I live, which is the Upper
• 40:43
  Speaker 10: West Side, as people were outside on Wednesday night following
• 40:47
  Speaker 10: the comeback, a UPS one of their semi trucks rolled
• 40:50
  Speaker 10: by and everybody started channing ups because they're just excited.
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: They just want to be crazy.
• 40:57
  Speaker 10: Like, let's go with that.
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: The first part of it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 10: Now the other the other end of it is this
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: is an occasionally dangerous city. And the reason it's occasionally
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: dangerous is because there are eight million people here, and
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: just by the law of percentages, when you have eight
• 41:12
  Speaker 10: million people, some slice of those is going to be
• 41:15
  Speaker 10: an idiot, just like a slice of every city's population
• 41:18
  Speaker 10: is an idiot. Because we've got so many people, we
• 41:21
  Speaker 10: just have more idiots.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: And you know what makes idiots act out.
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: Is being around other idiots.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: So yes.
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: In some concentrations, generally around cameras where people are documenting
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: this sort of thing, you have people that are behaving
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: like absolute idiots, and I'm sure most people have seen. Apparently,
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: when Wemby went back, when the Spurs went back to
• 41:43
  Speaker 10: their hotel, I think they were staying at the Ritz
• 41:45
  Speaker 10: Carlton the Air, somebody hit Wemby in the head with
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: an egg, which is lame as hell, like it's just stupid.
• 41:51
  Speaker 10: And then that gets into that's not really New York
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: and I'm like, no, it's not most of New York,
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: but it is New York.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: It is a crazy place. There are lunatics who lived here.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Danie O'Neill joining us, you wrote something that caught my attention.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: In a city of eight million people, and basically every
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: team has two sports. I mean there's the Nets and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the Knicks, there's the Giants and the Jets, there's the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Rangers and the Islanders, and the Nets and the Yankees.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: You got choices all the way around. You wrote something
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: about the Knicks being the one team that kind of
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: everyone roots for. That's a New Yorker. Is that like
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: like they're kind of the exception of the rule. In
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: some ways.
• 42:31
  Speaker 10: Yes, it's like the differences that exist between Jets and
• 42:36
  Speaker 10: Giants fans. I have yet to meet a Nets fan here,
• 42:39
  Speaker 10: and it's not for lack of tying. I've even gone
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: to a Nets game. I just haven't met someone who
• 42:44
  Speaker 10: considered an actual Nets fan. I've heard. I don't think
• 42:47
  Speaker 10: I saw him. I heard Jay Z was at the
• 42:50
  Speaker 10: game the other night, and I think he at least
• 42:52
  Speaker 10: went at one point owned part of the Nets, or
• 42:54
  Speaker 10: they said he did. The Sticks are New York's team,
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: and it is it is a very funny fan base.
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: That is, if they women are going to become quickly annoying,
• 43:06
  Speaker 10: Like right now they're still kind of funny and gearing
• 43:11
  Speaker 10: that that will quickly turn. But it is cool to watch,
• 43:15
  Speaker 10: like seeing John McEnroe and Larry David sitting next to
• 43:18
  Speaker 10: each other quarter side and how like angst ridden they are.
• 43:22
  Speaker 10: Like that part, that part is fun.
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 43:24
  Speaker 10: It is fun to see and to watch, and I'm
• 43:27
  Speaker 10: rooting for them. But kind of the question I had,
• 43:30
  Speaker 10: you might be.
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: Able to answer it for me.
• 43:32
  Speaker 10: Am I allowed to wear a T shirt? I have one.
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: My wife gave it to me.
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: I wore it last week when I was in California.
• 43:39
  Speaker 10: But that's a little bit different because somebody I live
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: in New York. But being here in New York feels
• 43:44
  Speaker 10: a little weird. It feels kind of phony. I'm not,
• 43:46
  Speaker 10: but I've lived here for six years. I don't know
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: the rules and regulations, Like, well, what do you think?
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I think the easy answer to me is, yes,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: you've you've you've been there, you've been there a while.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: We don't have currently an NBA team your city used
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: to live in and you're getting caught up in it.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you're asking the one person not named
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Chuck Powell at this radio station who's lived in other cities.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: So I do have a little bit of context to that,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: because you know, most of us here have lived here
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: their entire life, right, and it's you can't fathom that,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: you know. I spent six years in Salt Lake, and
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I found myself becoming a little bit of a University
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: of Utah fan, you know at times, because I'm there
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm a long ways and you know, just from
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: football and basketball standpoint now, I didn't like their basketball teams.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't like big Man. Not a fan of Jaris,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: but for he he tried to get me fired. So
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't really like him, But but I liked I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: love Ron McBride, their old football coach, and knew bunch
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: of their coaches. Hung out with a bunch of those guys,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: and so I kind of became a little bit of
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: a closet utah Utes football fan at times. And then
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I will tell you this when I got there, Danny,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: this is what's weird. This is how fan because the
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: rules of fandom are strange. You can't define, and you
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: never know where it's going to come from, right like
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: like how like all of a sudden you're going to
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: gravitate towards a team and a case in point. Growing
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: up here and then you know, working here for a
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: while covering the Sonics before I moved and kind of
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: started the media tour, I hated the Jazz because it
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: was Carl and John, Jerry, the whole crew, right, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: you know we had I mean, I think I think
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you can make an argument the Jazz in some ways
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: were Seattle's best rivalry the last few years. The Sonics.
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I would agree with that.
• 45:37
  Speaker 10: I think that's true, especially because if you got right
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: down to it, the Sonics did not like Stock No, no,
• 45:44
  Speaker 10: but they thought he was a dirty player.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, and he was. Uh and but but so I
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: go to Salt Lake and I'm on the jazz radio show,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: like I do stuff for them, and then I found
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: myself and I hated him, and I was like, you know,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: and the songs were still here. Well, fast forward a
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: few years. You know, my son's born in Salt Lake.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: And as we're going through stuff, like he's a big
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: basketball guy and he kind of we don't have a team.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: He gravitates towards the Jazz. I gravitate towards the jazz.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I kind of like the jazz. Now, I kind of
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: root for the jazz. Now now that'll change a second
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: we get a team back. So there is no rules
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: of fandom. I think it's hard to be a fan
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: of two college teams in the same state, Dick Fane,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Gonzaga and Washington.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: That's just me.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: But but there's no rules. There's no hard rules.
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: I don't think it's slight.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Well, isn't Gonzaga a school that is kind of a
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: rival East free basketball program?
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: Should we should? We should?
• 46:45
  Speaker 10: It's it's hard, I know, because I know other people
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: that went to Washington and root for Gonzaga too, and
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: it blows mine.
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Wait, so Dick's wait, time out, time out. Dick's not
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: alone in that. You have other Husky fans that are
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: the same way.
• 46:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to out him. But he
• 47:00
  Speaker 10: worked at the Seattle Times and was and part of
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: it was he worked in Spokane for a while and
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: started liking the Zags, And I was like, you went
• 47:07
  Speaker 10: to Washington, Like, not only did you go to Washington,
• 47:10
  Speaker 10: you were there during some of the awful like Andy Russo,
• 47:13
  Speaker 10: Bob Bender years and you were still going to DAGs
• 47:15
  Speaker 10: and now you like him.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: Guy, don't get it.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Danny Ian's completely confused face right now will make you
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: laugh even more.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: I'm trying.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing is I'm going through the
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: staff and I'm trying to figure out who it is.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing right now. Like, Okay, let's see.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: No he's from there, No Stony I think is a
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: California guy.
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: Uh, he didn't work in sports, oh, Danny west Meat,
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: but it's okay.
• 47:51
  Speaker 10: I'm uncertain about how west Meat feels about abousca.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Or anything that has to do with something that city politics. Yeah, no,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I that's good. Yeah, I don't know, like you fan,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: how you want a fan, you be a Knicks fan,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: go for it, I think, you know, from a basketball standpoint,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: you know, we're kind of in Seattle. Hey, they knocked out,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: they knocked out in Oklahoma City. Miss Johnson's a local guy,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: son of JJ Sonic champion and legend all those things.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I kind of felt bad for them, like he's just
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: getting crucified, right because it's like, well, you know, and
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I kind of do believe for a team to come
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: back in the NBA by that kind of deficit the
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: other team, he does need to help him, right, like
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: they do need to help him along the way. But
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: at the same time, I mean, it was just one
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: of those things, like one of the most incredible things
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: in sports we've ever seen. Right, Sometimes you just got
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: to give the other team due.
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it was. I mean, there are a lot of
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: different things a PLA. First, I love Mitch Johnson. I
• 48:46
  Speaker 10: covered Mitch when he was in high school at oday
• 48:49
  Speaker 10: and still good friends with his high school coach or
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: people that worked around him, So knowing him and the
• 48:58
  Speaker 10: guys that he grew up playing with, love Mitch and
• 49:01
  Speaker 10: have always considered it to be a future coach. It
• 49:04
  Speaker 10: is a bummer to watch him get the criticism that
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: he is because there's part of me that just looks
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: at it and says, yeah, the Spurs they had some
• 49:14
  Speaker 10: problems and dearon Fox made a terrible decision in going
• 49:17
  Speaker 10: in for that way, like if you if you could
• 49:20
  Speaker 10: do it over again. But man, when when the Calves
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: came back and beat the Warriors, no one really remembers this.
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: Kyrie Irving did something very similar in the game seven
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: of that series where the Calves beat the Warriors, where
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: Lebron has that block. Yeah, but the loose ball ended
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: up bouncing off of a Warrior and so the Calves
• 49:41
  Speaker 10: retained possession. But it was a very similar type circumstance.
• 49:45
  Speaker 10: So the idea he made the bad a bad play,
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: and looking back, the fact that San Antonio was so
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: cold from the field, there's all sorts of things you
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: could say they should have they should have stopped shooting
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: so many three because we know what they did do
• 50:01
  Speaker 10: didn't work. Yeah, but there's also a level of they
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: were unbelievably hot in the first half and you knew
• 50:09
  Speaker 10: that that was going to change someone. They didn't commit
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: any turnovers. They played about as perfect a half.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: As you can.
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: That changed in the second half and things kind of
• 50:17
  Speaker 10: balanced out and it came right down to it, and
• 50:20
  Speaker 10: the Knicks made their own mistakes, but it ended up
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: they ended up making more shots down the stretch. It
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: was a great game and that's probably something that the
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: Spurs are going to learn from. I do think they
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: have an issue with the Aaron Fox. I think Dylan
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: Harpurn needs to play more minutes than the Aaron Fox.
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: But that's that's kind of a different, a different question
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: I did. I felt bad for me because I love
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: this John Well.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: D Aaron Fox also dribble the ball for five seconds
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: in what was a game game two, right when they
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: were down one and they inbounded and they're like, okay,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: you get seven point five seconds left. That's plenty of
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: time to get a good offensive play in and they
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: inbounded to them. He just dribbled the ball out like
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: it's just and then oh better passed to Wemby with
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: one and a half two seconds left and just for
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: a desperation shot. Yeah, the Aaron Fox is late. Late
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: game decision making is less than ideal. Right now, we
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: football over the NCAA. The biggest story came earlier this week.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Andrews, are you watching this?
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: This is hilarious.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's happen in the first time. The hydration
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: break happened too. They do it on their purpose. Yeah,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Dany. We're distracted.
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: What we're watching Canada and Bosnia right now.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Buddy is trash, Danny, Yeah, they're not.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: They're they're struggling. It's a it's a struggle bus for them.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: They turned the sprinklers on. I was like, what the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: hell it looked like? It looks like that Dolphins game
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks played back in twenty twelve when the sprinklers
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: came on down in Miami.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: Remember that. Uh.
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: The Canadians coach fight American. I believe Jesse Mars, who
• 51:50
  Speaker 10: is is a fairly annoying winer.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: We're going to get to that in our next segment.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: By the way, as a teas ahead, that's a radio
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: teas for you people. We got some sound from Clint
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Dempsey about him. He's not happy with his ex teammates.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: All right, let me The week started out with one
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: of those stories that is both stunning and also a
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: rarity where it unified the entire country against one entity.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Brendan Soorsby granted his eligibility by a judge in Texas, who,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: by the way, is not in Texas Tech alum. He's
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: a University of Houston alum. But he was granted his
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: eligibility despite the fact he bet on college football as
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: wait for it, a college football player. You've said you
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: had mixed feelings on the subject.
• 52:34
  Speaker 10: Why Because I don't think anybody looking at the situation
• 52:40
  Speaker 10: thinks that someone who bets on games that they're involved
• 52:44
  Speaker 10: in and should get to continue to play like that. Man.
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: I guess there's an argument where two games suspension is
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: that enough given what had happened, But that's a pretty
• 52:56
  Speaker 10: clear line and all of the different nations or excuses.
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: I think the coach Joey maguire was saying, like he
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: didn't murder anyone. It's like, yeah, but gambling on the
• 53:08
  Speaker 10: games is actually undermines the actual games. Like I'm not
• 53:13
  Speaker 10: saying that off the field stuff shouldn't be punished or overlooked,
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: but you're comparing two different things, and I don't think
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: there's anybody that thinks that that's okay that you can
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: tolerate that, And I honestly believe that the only way
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: you create a deterrent there is to make the punishment
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: for that very overwhelming. So I don't think. I don't
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: find Brandon Soursby to be at all sympathetic, and if
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: I don't think he should play college football again, that's
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: just my opinion. But the other side of it is
• 53:41
  Speaker 10: that I think the NCAAD nobody but itself to blame
• 53:45
  Speaker 10: for the fact that it can't suspend someone.
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: Who bets on his own games like.
• 53:51
  Speaker 10: The clearest, most clear cut infraction you could have, and
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: he suspend him, and the courts are like, Nope, you
• 53:57
  Speaker 10: can't do it. And I do feel a certain level
• 54:01
  Speaker 10: of glee in that, because I really hate the nc DOUBLEA.
• 54:04
  Speaker 10: And mostly what I hate is that for ten years
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: they've refused to adapt clear changes that are happening. They've
• 54:12
  Speaker 10: basically been a bunch of babies and said.
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: Well, somebody's got to help us and force our rules.
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: Why can't we force our rules?
• 54:18
  Speaker 10: Like, no, your rules were outdated, and you made the
• 54:21
  Speaker 10: conscious decision not to try to create new rules that
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: would work this environment. So the fact that you can't.
• 54:28
  Speaker 10: It's your fault. You can't suspend Brandan's source. It's your fault.
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: And I don't feel bad for them or feel sympathetic
• 54:36
  Speaker 10: towards them, and I think they're pathetic. I think the
• 54:39
  Speaker 10: whole organization should be put to Let them organize tournaments,
• 54:42
  Speaker 10: but get the NCAA out of the business. Don't ask
• 54:45
  Speaker 10: them to adjudicate on anything in terms of eligibility or
• 54:48
  Speaker 10: transfers for any of that stuff. It's a dead organization,
• 54:52

  Speaker 1: five zero five hundred. I find the whole thing strange
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: from this standpoint, Danny, I I remember this is how
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: old I am. I was at the University Sports Bar
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: and grill on the Universe in the University district. I was.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I was there for a fantasy football draft in nineteen
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: ninety three and with a bunch of friends and we
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: were doing it. You know, we had our USA Today
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Is and our magazines out for a fantasy football draft
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: and it was, I believe a Sunday night like five o'clock,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: had a couple of pints and hanging out having some fun.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: And my wife, she's my wife then yeah, she would
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: My wife at the time calls the bar and says,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: is Ian Ferness there? And she and they asked us
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: is Ian Freness there? And I'm like yeah, and the
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: guy I go, yeah, this is Ian. Hey, uh, your
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: wife's calling us to talk to you. I'm like, oh
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: my god, what happened?
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: Pick up?
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: So I walked behind the bar, grabbed the phone and
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: she's like yeah, hey. So I was working as a
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: producer at Como at the time, and which also means
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: you kind of a reporter, right, And they're like, hey,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: they're calling. They need you to meet a photographer down
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: at the Tubby Graves Building or something. She says, and
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why s there's a news conference, like what?
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: And I go down there and it was when Don
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: James resigned. He wasn't there, but it was when Jim
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Lambright and Barbara Heages come out and we have to
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: cover this star and I and I I thought to myself, well,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: why was that? Did the end? No, the NC DOUBLEA
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: didn't sanction him. The PAC ten did. The PAC ten
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: said you know what, this is the deal. You are
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: no TV for a year. And people were like, wait,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: well they're back then. Not every game was on TV.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: It was a big deal and Bowl band and all
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: the stuff that they did, and James and of course
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: resigned in protest, and the rest is history. It was
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: not the NC DOUBLEA that to me brings up this question.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: To me, the Big Twelve, it's a very simple process.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Just he's not eligible and you want to fight us
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: in court, so be it just? I just I can't understand,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: for the life of me, why Brett your mark in
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve when fifteen to sixteen members say this
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: is wrong? Do what's right? Just say he can't play,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: just like they said the Huskies can't play in a
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: bowl game. It's not that hard, right.
• 57:19
  Speaker 10: I one hundred percent agree with you, And I'll go
• 57:21
  Speaker 10: a step further. Is that the stuff that Texas Tech
• 57:24
  Speaker 10: officials have been saying recently about Asking, saying he had
• 57:29
  Speaker 10: an addiction and that there Cody Campbell, who's their big
• 57:34
  Speaker 10: movie Booster was on with Dan Dakics Sin I said,
• 57:37
  Speaker 10: like we were, we should let him play. We need
• 57:40
  Speaker 10: to let him plays in basically saying because he had
• 57:45
  Speaker 10: a gambling problem that you need no, Like, that's not.
• 57:49
  Speaker 8: I completely agree with you, the Big twelve.
• 57:51
  Speaker 10: And honestly, if Texas Tech's not going to do it,
• 57:54
  Speaker 10: then the Big twelve really should because it's it's not right,
• 57:59
  Speaker 10: it's not it makes no sense. And because the NCAA
• 58:04
  Speaker 10: can't do it because of its own ineptitude doesn't mean
• 58:06
  Speaker 10: that somebody shouldn't. And the idea that Tech Tech has
• 58:10
  Speaker 10: no choice but to play him or to honor this
• 58:12
  Speaker 10: decision that's been passed down, that's absurd too, because that's
• 58:17
  Speaker 10: not how accountability works. And I have a lot of
• 58:21
  Speaker 10: sympathy for people who have compulsive issues with compulsive behavior,
• 58:27
  Speaker 10: both personally and in my family, but that's not how
• 58:31
  Speaker 10: accountability works, which is that like, look, I had a problem,
• 58:34
  Speaker 10: so you have to overlook. No, you had a problem,
• 58:36
  Speaker 10: and you have to deal with the consequences of the
• 58:38
  Speaker 10: things that you did while you were suffering from that problem.
• 58:41
  Speaker 8: That's part of the deal.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Danny, I'm gonna ask you. We talked about your battle
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: with alcohol a couple.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: Of weeks ago.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Gambling, what the addiction part of it? Can you relate
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: to that?
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 58:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I can in the sense that I know
• 58:59
  Speaker 10: that I know that there are behaviors where you can
• 59:02
  Speaker 10: know this is bad for me, I shouldn't be doing this.
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: And whether it's a lack of will power or the
• 59:08
  Speaker 10: desire for the feeling you get while you're doing that activity,
• 59:13
  Speaker 10: whether it's drinking or gambling, that there is there is
• 59:16
  Speaker 10: a compulsive element to it, and it does get slippery
• 59:19
  Speaker 10: when you start kind of comparing different types of behaviors,
• 59:23
  Speaker 10: like can you be addicted to fattening food? Probably in
• 59:28
  Speaker 10: a certain sense, can you be addicted to like taking revenge?
• 59:32
  Speaker 10: There are some people that will make that sort of argument,
• 59:34
  Speaker 10: So it is there's a spectrum of things. But I
• 59:38
  Speaker 10: think what we know is that gambling is an activity
• 59:42
  Speaker 10: that a number of people can do and they might
• 59:45
  Speaker 10: lose some money doing it, but find it overall an
• 59:48
  Speaker 10: enjoyable part of their experience and they don't suffer like
• 59:52
  Speaker 10: it's the thing that they enjoy doing for a much
• 59:55
  Speaker 10: like alcohol, for a small portion of the population, that
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 10: activity becomes something that is compulsive and that you do
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 10: in spite of the recognition that this is really bad
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 10: for me and for my life. And it gets complicated
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 10: there of like how do you get out of that,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 10: how do you correct for that? And how do we
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 10: as a society show compassion, because what everybody should want
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 10: is for the behavior that is hurting you in your life.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 10: And I don't know the full depth. I think what
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 10: I've read is that something like sixty thousand dollars that
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 10: he gambles and a ton of money, and it certainly
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 10: sounds incredibly reckless, and I don't doubt that he had
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 10: a compulsive gambling problem. Like that's not part I'll take
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 10: them at their word or him at his word when
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 10: he says that. But the question of how you deal
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 10: with the results of that is that you did do
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 10: those things. And it's not at out a jail free
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 10: card for the consequences of that. If I had and
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 10: I never got arrested for DUI, but if I had,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 10: if I have two or three DUIs, you don't get
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 10: to go to rehab and say I'm all better. So
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 10: none of that count. Like no, like you still like
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 10: like there is a there are things that you do
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 10: and that is part of the accountability and recovery from it.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 10: And I'm not saying that he's saying this. I'm just
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 10: saying that the things that I'm hearing from some of
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: the Texas Tech officials, I'm like.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 8: Oh, this is this is.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 10: You want him to play, and you're trying to find
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 10: a way to make you feel justified in that decision, when,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 10: like you said, on its face of it, I mean,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 10: this is a really clear line, like you can't bet
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 10: on games, and you certainly can't bet on games that
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: involve your team.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Tell people all the day a possibly, sir, it is.
• 1:01:42

• 1:01:44

• 1:01:48

• 1:03:27

• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: dudes are hurt. What's going on? Everyone yelled at the officials.

• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: Compair this to the two games yesterday, I know, I know,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: those are so great, high skill.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Like ye all these things basta.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: This is just so set this up with that, with
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: that instead set this up. Canada's coach is an American. Yes,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: his name Jesse marsh All. Right, so that sets up
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the audio you've got for me? Go ahead, yeah, oh,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: before you play, tell me so this is actually this
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: is actually Clint Dempsey. Yeah, and what's he talking about.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: This is Fox's coverage asking about something that Jesse March
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: said in the lead up to this game against Bosnia
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: and Herzegovina. This game against wait for it, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: not the United States.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: And this is a former American player on the national
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: team who's now the coach of Canada.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 13: Reminder, Jesse represented the United States not only as a player,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 13: but as an assistant.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Coach as well. Yesterday, he had.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 13: A comment that caught our attention He said that when
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 13: he was an assistant with US under Bob Bradley, Clint
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 13: he had to beg the players to sing the national anthem.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 11: He really said that. He said that, Man, I can't
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 11: take this guy too seriously. I mean, it was an
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 11: honor for me growing up and representing my country, and
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 11: when the national anthem happened, I would I wasn't someone
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 11: who normally would s. I put my hand over my
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 11: heart and I prayed the good man upstairs. I'm someone
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 11: who's bled for this country. I broke my nose playing
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 11: for this country. I've come back from two heart procedures
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 11: and played for this country. So I'm not gonna take
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 11: advice from someone who switched to the other side and
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 11: singing in another country's national anthem. And as my boy
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 11: T T would say, stay in your own lane. It
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 11: looks like he's in a dang mopad. So where about
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 11: your own team?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Wow? Wow, Clint Clinton not holding back, not holding back.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: From far and we stand up guard for the.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: More context during the twenty twenty two World Cup. This guy,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: and we mentioned this earlier in the show, this guy
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: was what a lot of American fans kind of wanted
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: The US coach to be. He's had some success in
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: the Premier League, he's coached in other teams in Europe,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: and he was an American coach who didn't have a
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: job at the time. During the twenty twenty two World
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: Cup and when there was like criticism of Greg Burlter,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: the then US men's national team coach, Everyone's like, oh,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: why don't you have Jesse marsh as your coach? And
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: he ends up going to coach Canada instead. We got
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: a much better coach anyways, So I'm so happy that
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: didn't end up happening. But it's just it's it's a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: lead up to the game against Bosnie and Hertz Schovino.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Why are you talking about the US? That's my question.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: I love Clint Demps, just hammering the guy. Good for him, Yeah,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: We like Clint dem Clint Dempsey on the air, I
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: love him. I think he's fantastic.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Is he the shoe? He'd be like the number one.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: They're still trying to make Alexi Lawless like the Star. No,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: he's just not good, No.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: I I he he's good at saying things that give
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: people riled up, if that's what you're into. But Clint
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Dempsey is kind of a good combination. Him and I
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Taylor Twelman are probably my two favorite analysts MLS and
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: that's who he's referencing when he says my bowie, t
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: T would say Taylor Twelman.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: So uh, it's just doing yeah, what are we doing?
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: Just but it's combined, like he'll say stuff, but it's
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: there's good analysis involved too.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: It's not like Steven A. Smith just trying to get
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: a SoundBite, you know what I mean?
• 1:06:55

  Speaker 6: Here's Ian Corvin Smith joined us. We do appreciate him
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 6: as always. Hello, sir, how are you?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: I'm good to you and thank your having.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: Give me.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Give me your thoughts, my friend, what's going on? What's happening?
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: You cut your hand off or something? What's going on
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: with that? You know?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 8: But I had the nickname Wolverine in high school because
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 8: I've always healed really fat. I almost cut my finger
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: in half and it's it's completely steeled shut already two
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 8: days after doing it. So I'm on the bend.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I saw you were able to type out some things,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: which is a good thing, including the day three Seahawk
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: defense dominates. You talked about rashichi heat, which I want
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: to get to as well. I'll let you start here though,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: because I walked out a couple different times over the
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: last few days. And I walk out Corbin's are He's
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: shaking his head. It's like I don't know what I'm like, Okay,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Yes, I don't know about number six.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: That's Jalen Milroll for those who don't know. And then
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: we talked about that for a second. I had to
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: run into Anders and saying, who we're back from breaking
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. So I'm running back in right
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: then I see Jalen Milroe throw a little screen pass.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: It's at the receiver's feet. I look back a shaking
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: his head, shaking his head again.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Do they have a Jayleen Milrall problem in your opinion?
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 8: I don't know if it's a problem just yet, but
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 8: I just have some concerns, and I know that I
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 8: am not the only one that feels this way from
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 8: what I've seen at Ota is in now mini camp.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 8: I just I see a young quarterback that they're trying.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 8: They are trying very hard to get his pocket passing
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 8: ability where it needs to be to be a viable
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 8: NFL back at quarterback, and I'm just I'm not seeing it.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 8: I'm just not seeing the consistency accuracy wise. I'm not
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 8: seeing the consistency with the processing that needs to be there.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: There's still are some throws that he makes You're like, hey,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 8: wait a second, and there's what you need that that
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 8: looks good, but then the mechanics get away from it
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 8: again and then he bounced past the throw to a guy,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 8: or he throws the screen passed out at there. It's
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 8: just already the process is late, and he gets picked
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 8: off for a pick six by the Anthony Bell like
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 8: he did yesterday. It's it's I'm sure as the coaching
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 8: staff there's gonna be growing pain. They understand that, but
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 8: you're also a year two for this young man, and
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 8: you were hoping to see more progress than that. Just
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 8: just being brutally honest at least by assessment.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: Uh Gorbor has been joining US Central City Spectrum. Let me,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: I love this because I used to Curtis and I
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: used to always have fun with this, and Kevin and
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: I we used to always have fun with the you know,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: the training camp All American and you know Hall of
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: Famer or the training camp or OTAs in mini camps.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: But there are sometimes guys that stand out. So let
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: me just start there. Who was the guy that stood
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: out to you the most, that maybe was the biggest
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: surprise in a positive way.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 8: You know, if you would have asked me this that
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 8: coming out of Ota is the player I'm gonna mention,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 8: it wouldn't even have been in consideration, but I thought,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 8: no way. A Binogny had a fantastic mandatory mini camp
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 8: and seemed like the light switch came on. He didn't
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 8: look like he was comfortable with Mike McDonald's defense during
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 8: the OTA sessions we got to watch, but everything flipped
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 8: in these mini camp practices. He had four past breakups,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 8: had a pick six yesterday where he jumped the curl
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 8: route to Ricky White the third and took it back
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 8: to the house. And you can just tell he's doing
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 8: He's doing this playing inside and outside. He was a
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 8: first round pick, has never been able to play to
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 8: that level in the NFL. But Mike McDonald loves this kid.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 8: They tried to get in the last two years in
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 8: free agency and the fact he could play all over
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 8: the place, I right now would have him as a
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 8: favorite to be the number three corner going into training.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: Camp, so he'd be head of Princht at this point.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 8: Yep, yep, I would have because Pritchett's only going to
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 8: play in the boundary and think Bonogny could play all
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 8: over the place, which you know Mike McDonald's value is
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 8: that greatly.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: What about what about the the three rookie corners who
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: jumped out there.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 8: I thought all three of those guys had solid offseason programs,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: but the one that really surprised me was Michael Dansby.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 8: I just felt like every time I was over watching
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 8: drill work where number thirty seven was out there, he
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 8: was making plays in the football. He had an interception
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: yesterday he made you know, you could call it a
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 8: Willie Mays or a Jim Edmonds catch, depending what era
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 8: baseball fan you are. Over the shoulder. Last week at
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 8: OTA's the end zone. That was a spectacular play. And
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 8: I think people just have to realize, like he gave
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 8: up a thirty six percent completion rate for Arizona last year,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 8: Like he's a pretty good football player that just didn't
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 8: do anything in the pre draft process. He might end
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 8: up being the biggest steal the Seahawks had in this
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 8: draft class. So I was really impressed by him. Neil
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 8: had some big plays as well. I think he's going
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 8: to show up more when the Pats come on.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: But was really good.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: Well it wasn't bad. I just he didn't make them
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 8: impact plays that the other two did. So I was
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 8: encouraged by what I saw from all.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Three players, though the one thing just watched a couple
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: of days watching out there and just especially the early
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: stuff we're able to kind of and I think it's
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: had some video of it as well. Nick Eman Worri
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: is going to be really fun to watch his second season.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: And I say that because we don't even know where
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: he's going to be half the time. Right, They're going
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: to probably use this guy all the play. He spent
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: a ton of time with the defensive lineman while the
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: outside linebackers I guess we call him right with Nuosu
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: and Lawrence and guys like that doing pass rush drills.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 8: I'm going to make a very bold proclamation right now,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 8: and I think nick Evan Worri, when the twenty twenty
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 8: six season is over, is going to be the defensive
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 8: player of the year in the NFL. I'm making that
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 8: prediction right now. I think this kid, he was so
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 8: good last year and he was barely scratching the surface
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 8: of what he's capable of doing. Year or two. Mike
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 8: McDonald is gonna fully unleash this kid. I would not
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 8: be shocked if he gets six seven sacks this year,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 8: and he's also getting a bunch of tackles for a loss.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 8: He's making plays and coverage. I mean what he affords him, well,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 8: he affords Mike McDonald. There isn't a team in the
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 8: league that can run the personnel flexibility to the Seahawks
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 8: two because he can play edge rusher. I mean, he
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 8: did not look out of place in those drills because
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 8: how big he is. He just he looks like he
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 8: could be a defensive end, and you know, he can cover.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 8: He runs in the four threes, he can defend speedy receivers,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 8: he can defend big tight ends, he can play linebacker.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 8: I mean, I just you know, as an opposing quarterback
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 8: and opposing offensive coordinator, that would drive me nuts trying
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 8: to game plan because I just have no idea what
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 8: they're gonna do with him, and he's gonna be equally
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 8: disruptive no matter where you put him. I just think,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 8: on a defense that is full of stars, nobody's got
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 8: a higher ceiling than Nick even wore he does.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: It is our good friend Corbin Smith, Emeral City Spectrum,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Inneral Cityspectrum dot Com joining us here on the Beacon
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Plumbing hotline. Let's go to the offense for a second.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: You wrote about growing pains for Jadarian Price. What do
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: you mean?
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but with him, the biggest thing that he's going
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 8: to have to continue working on is the consistency as
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 8: a pass catcher. We've seen him make a lot of
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 8: nice receptions and one thing I'm encouraged by a lot
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 8: of running backs or body catchers. He is a hand catcher.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 8: He gets his hands out and he's aggressive playing of football.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 8: What he's going to have to continue working on is
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 8: beyond the five to ten yard routes, being able to
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 8: bring those in. There have been a couple of times
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 8: that he's gotten open on wheel routes, but he hasn't
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 8: been able to bring the ball in tracking the football.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 8: That's still something he's got to work on. The growing
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: pains are going to be there and when they get
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 8: the pads on in pass protection. I don't have any
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 8: doubts about his ability to run the ball. It's going
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 8: to be the other aspects that he needs to fill
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 8: to be able to get full time starting duty as
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 8: a rookie.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Do you think there's any doubt he's going to get
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: the first carry of the year.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 8: No, I think I think he'll be the starter. I
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 8: think George Halani's gonna get quite a bit of run,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 8: but I don't think I don't think Halani's gonna win
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 8: the starting job though. I think it's Jadari in prices
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 8: to lose.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about the chemistry we're seeing from this
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: is weird to say the quarterback and the offensive player
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: of the year that you wrote about.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 8: You know, it's funny. I talked to a couple of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 8: PR people in the sideline yesterday and I just kind of,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 8: you know, smirked a little bit, like you know that
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: number eleven is pretty darn good. I mean, all he
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 8: did was all he did was score seven touchdowns in
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 8: the two open a mini camp practices that were out
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: of the practice bec I mean, he is just he
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 8: is so smooth. He's so much fun watching it. And
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 8: Sam Darnald like I do you think you've seen the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 8: best for number fourteen. I'm afraid to break it to you,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 8: but you have not. Like he he's just he looks
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 8: like one of those players that getting over the hump
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: to win a Super Bowl. Like now he's Sanos and
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 8: he's got the glove on and he's got all the stones,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 8: like he is playing with chemistry with his receivers. He's
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 8: in full command. He's throwing the ball with incredible timing
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 8: to get the ball with receivers Like there was a
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 8: couple of times Josh Job had Jack and Smith and Jig,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 8: but it looked like he hadn't completely locked up. And
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 8: the next thing, you know, blink of an eye, Sam
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 8: Donald's throwing him open for a touchdown like that. And
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 8: he did it with Rashid Shaheat a lot in this
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 8: offseason program too, which that is an incredibly encouraging development
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 8: because the timing was not there for those guys for
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 8: most of the time after that trade happened. Those guys
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 8: are on a different page now together on the same page,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 8: I should say. I just that is the one big
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 8: thing I'll say, is not that you know, it's not
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 8: an overreaction, like Sam Donald looks. He looks even better
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 8: than what he did last year.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Rashid Shiheed. We should go down that road
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: for a second. I kind of was mentioned this on
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: the air of other day, if and it's a bit
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: gif because he hasn't you know, whether it be college
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: or now one year in the NFL. If Tory Horton
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: is healthy, if he can get healthy and they have
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: a and we saw what he was able to do,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: especially red zone last year. If Tory Horton's healthy and
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: they have Rashid Shaheed that's involved in the offense, that's
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: a pretty That's a pretty good situation, is it not.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 8: I think the Seahawks can have a top three to
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 8: top five caliber receiving corps that isn't just about Jackson
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 8: Smith and Jigba. If you have a fully realized connection
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 8: between Sam Darnold and Rashid Shaheed and you have a
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 8: healthy and can stay healthy, Tory Horton, like he said
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 8: that that's a big question mark. It has been for
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 8: him dating back to college. But Tory Horton was he
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 8: was tied for the team lead in touchdown catches when
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 8: he got hurt last year, Jackon Smith and Jigba was
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 8: not leading by himself. I just I think that they
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 8: have the pieces in place, and I wouldn't be surprised
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 8: that Jake Bobo is more productive this year, especially with
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 8: the way Darnold was featuring him some in the playoffs
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 8: a year ago. I just think they've got a really
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 8: nice collection of receivers that all do some different things
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 8: and I've also been kind of intrigued by IRV Charles,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 8: who they just traded for. I was looking at him
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 8: to just be a special teams guy. But if you
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 8: told me he was a tight end when I saw
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: him in the field, I would have said, oh yeah,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 8: that definitely looks like a tight end. He makes Cody
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 8: White look small, and Cody White is a big receiver.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 8: They've got a lot of fun pieces out there. Emmanuel
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: Henderson had a nice touchdown yesterday, so we got to
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 8: mention him too. So they got a good problem with
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: that position as long as they can keep guys healthy.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got a really good problem there with an
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches. All right, I'll wrap it up with this.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: Greg and I were talk Greg Bell and I were
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: talking this about this earlier on Cross Talk. By all indications,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: when he's been dressed, active, healthy out there for OTAs
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: or Mini camp, there seems to be no doubt who
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: the number one player is at right guard. How far
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: away is both Stevens. Is he truly the number three
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: guy there?
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah? Right now, right now I would have him behind
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: Bryce Cabledoo and Christian Haines maybe is still there too.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 8: Haines has been the number two guy. I thought that
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 8: might be something that was going to be in flux,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 8: but Haines has looked pretty good the last couple of
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 8: weeks when he's had his opportunities. So Pads come on,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 8: that changes everything. But Bo Stevens right now for fans
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 8: that we're hoping he was going to be jumping into
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 8: the mix to start early, I never was expecting that,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 8: but that's certainly not the direction it's heading. And I'm
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 8: telling you this, and like Anthony Bradford, fans should not
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 8: be surprised if he gets an extension. John Benton loves
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 8: this kid. He absolutely loves them and he's the second
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 8: youngest offensive lineman they have on that starting lineup too,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 8: So I'm just throwing that out there. Fans should be
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 8: at least prepared for that possibility.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, like it's funny because Greg said the
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: exact same thing earlier in regards to him. Benton loves him,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: and the thing is he kind of brings a different
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: element than the the other four guys in that line.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: You know, like there's a lot of there's a lot
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: of skill, great finesse, great feet on this guy's just
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: a Maller and he is a mean son of a gun,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Like he has an attitude that's little different than everybody else.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: I can see why Betton would like him.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 8: And yesterday at practice, it was funny because Greg and
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 8: I were right next to each other when it happened.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 8: Do you know how heavy those one man slaps are?
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: He got underneath it and almost threw it, flipped it
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 8: completely forward, like I had never seen an offensive lineman
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 8: do that. And John Betton, I can't repeat what he
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 8: said afterwards. He was excited, but I can't repeat what
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 8: he said John Beton. Like when I talked to the
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: Super Bowl weegue last week, like some people are last year,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: people be like, well, he's just saying good things because
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 8: it's his player, isn't no, John Benton. Genuinely, I would
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 8: make the argument Anthony Bradford might be his favorite player
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 8: in that group. I mean, he loves it. He gets
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 8: so excited when he bashes sleds and he was the
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 8: only guy that had a perfect perfect score when they
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 8: were doing their pulling pulling block drill yesterday. Benton loves him.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 8: So again, I'm just saying, don't be surprised. In fact,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 8: I'm leaning towards there's more of a chance he gets
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 8: a new contract than the other way around. I just
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 8: I think that the Seahawks are valuing that more than
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 8: they ever had, and John Benton really wants this kid
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 8: to be around.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's do this. Let's get some people.

  Speaker 2: I get a World Cup.

  Speaker 1: Oh man, well we'll be playing that for safe at
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: forty five. Ill at Jackson here, he's got to be
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: in here for that FIFA felts.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: He's got from furious felts to FIFA felts.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: I got one more debt.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: Hey man, depressed Seattle sports guy.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 17: Here, I don't know the mayor's winning percentage fifty four,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 17: so I guess they're doing the fan base of favor.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 17: They just lost another series to Ballard High School or
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 17: Baltimore or some mediocre team.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 17: We have more starting pitchers than we do relievers, but
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 17: no light at the end of the title. Go World
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 17: Cup bill us.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. By the way, they're at fifty one
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: winning percentage right now, not fifty four. Fifty one zero
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: point four percent. I wonder if it was yesterday, could
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: have been they lost a powered high school. I don't
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: think Lonzo place for Ballard High School. But okay, I
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: feel you, I gotcha. I'm still getting over that was good.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: That was really good. Though normally that would be like
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: just an absolute winner, but FIFA felts just came flying
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: through on us. So I'm gonna read this real quick,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna counter it with something, just some proof. Okay,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: two five three, No one cares about soccer, but they
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: care even less because they know we don't have a
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: chance to win at all. So the answer is never
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: country will never be good at soccer, all right. They
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: will follow this with another one two six. I don't
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: follow soccer. I could probably name five players total, But
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: why would anybody handle the World Cup? Just a sportsman.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: I don't understand dismissing that level competition. Go USA's from Chip.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing for the guy says no one cares.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: I was just watching in between the can Is there
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: a game before before the US?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: Nope? There's only two today total.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they're doing like a three hour pregame show
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: on Fox and on Fox thirteen here locally, and my
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: friend Lauren Donovan's at the Seattle Center where I guess
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: I think that Fox our team's doing some stuff there. Fox,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: like everyone's doing something. First of all, when you say
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: no one cares, all right.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: Look downtown.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: First of all, you may not care, but to say
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: no one cares is and I'm not talking about the world,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just talking about our city. To say no one cares,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: you just got your head buried in the sand and
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: you're just being that guy that wants to hate on things.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: That's that you're just a miserable person because no one cares.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: I'm watching Lauren do this live shot at the what
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: do they call that place? You used to be the
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: food Circus, The Armory or something. So it is a
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: ton of people there already. What times the game checks? No,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: fuck three and a half hours away. I got to
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: drive home. I'm gonna drive through the waterfront area, which
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: I do every time.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: Good luck.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: Gary was telling us earlier the from the Occidental, Queen
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: Anne and mos Pe beer halls you better be there
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: by now, Like get there early now. I say that
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Occidental is probably well queen a beer hall be jammed
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: pretty soon.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like they said get there by four. I
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: think yeah, but no one cares. Okay, but it's like, hey,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm used to this. I work at
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: sports radio and I'm a huge soccer fan. Right, I'm
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: not going to act like everyone loves soccer.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: It's it's not.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: You know, people always ask about like what we do
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: on this, like how we come up with things to
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: talk about. There's a couple of ways to do it.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: One is we I always say. It's kind of like
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: a music's well sort of the music stations used to
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: be right or still are by the hits. You play
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: the hits. If like the Seahawks are Taylor Swift, Yeah
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: that's who they are, so you play her a lot. Yeah,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: and that's what we do and that's what people want
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: to hear about. And whereas we as hosts can joke
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: about our takeaways and this, and that, I know for
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: a fact that people want to know what was going
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: on at Mini Camp.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, check out Corvin Smith. I want today spectrum.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely and people want to know that Mariners come in
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: right there as well. Then you've got you know, husky
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: football crack and whatever ever listed goes down, and yeah,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: soccer goes pretty far down the low on the list.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: But the World Cup is here in our country and
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: it's actually here in our city, and I'm looking around
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: and seeing the enthusiasm and excitement and so yeah, we're
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: gonna touch it on it.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna do, and we're oting it.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: We're and if you want to break down of the
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: games and all that, Jackson, Fifa, Fels and Andrews will
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: have that for you. Yeah, Jackson's on with the pregame
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: show night at five thirty.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: Right, yes, five thirty.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 3: I also did create the podcast page for my daily
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: recap show. The first two episodes are out there. Fantastic
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 3: Good talked with Jackson on two days ago and then
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: yesterday with Danny Jackson. So two guys that both know
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: their stuff.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see, Softy's gone from Jimmy's on First
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: to to T Mobile Park to Cheeney Stadium. He's been demoted. No,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: he's not. He's on a rehab assignment.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: He's on, a rehab assignment.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: Two six am my best Mike McDonald impression regarding excitement
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: for the World Cup.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: I do care, I do care.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Somebody said this Alexi Lawless is a Brandal Shambili of soccer.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: I so disagree with that.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: Who's that?
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: Brandal Shambili is on the golf channel and he's great.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: Now he's on everyone. Here's the problem with BRANDIALD. Shambley.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: He says what he feels. He has a strong opinion.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: He will be argumentative, but he's also massively knowledgeable. He'll
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: bring up stuff like, I mean, you know, like it's
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: it's like it's like, you know, four years ago, two
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: thousand and four PGA Championship on the seventh hole in
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: the third round and like what what Yeah, not even close.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: I think he's more. Stephen A.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: Smith tries to kind of push buttons and say big things.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and if you try that hard to do
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: that thing, guess what's gonna happen. It's not gonna be good. Right,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: this is funny, This is a good one four two five.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: My family and I don't like college football. Therefore nobody
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: likes college football. Yeah, that's literally that's exactly the comparison.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody likes it.
