2:05
Speaker 2: win four to nothing over the National League. Three runs
2:08
Speaker 2: scored in the very first inning off Phillies starter Christopher
2:11
Speaker 2: Sanchez and then not much offense at all the rest
2:14
Speaker 2: of the way. Both pitching staffs dominated. I mean, the
2:18
Speaker 2: MVP of the game was Cody Bellinger, who was one
2:21
Speaker 2: for three with a single. Yeah, that's it, that's all.
2:25
Speaker 2: That's all he did, but it knocked in two runs,
2:27
Speaker 2: proved to be the game winner, and he won the
2:30
Speaker 2: Most Valuable Player award, even though he joked I didn't
2:32
Speaker 2: even hit it hard. After the game was over. But
2:36
Speaker 2: American League over the National League four to nothing. And

Speaker 2: the show. Also, Adam Silver concluded the NBA Board of
4:15
Speaker 2: Governor's meeting in Las Vegas yesterday, met with the media

4:22
Speaker 2: that we're kicking this decision down the road another six
4:24
Speaker 2: months and it's aft.
4:26
Speaker 1: Isn't that fun?

4:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is like six months to six years. We'll see.
4:31
Speaker 2: We'll see. Joining us now on the radio program though
4:35
Speaker 2: part of our excellent coverage of the World Cup right
4:38
Speaker 2: here on KJR. Danny Jackson, who was the voice of
4:42
Speaker 2: the Sounders former Sounder and he and Jackson felts our roommates.
4:46
Speaker 2: Not a lot of people know that this is trying
4:50
Speaker 2: to so as I was saying it, I was picturing it.
4:55
Speaker 2: Danny making sure that he puts his name Danny, because
4:58
Speaker 2: if he put Jackson on the milk, he might think
5:01
Speaker 2: that's his. So anyway, Danny Jackson joins us here on
5:05
Speaker 2: the show. Hi, Danny.
5:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just have to pull my ear pods out
5:09
Speaker 3: after Jackson's snoring.
5:10
Speaker 4: Last night, So just back into it now.
5:16
Speaker 2: It's actually very funny when do you think about it.
5:19
Speaker 2: Danny and Jackson have become roommates. They've gotten so close,
5:23
Speaker 2: covering the sounders together. All right, Sorry, I'm gonna stop
5:26
Speaker 2: laughing about that. I just you know, you know why
5:29
Speaker 2: it's funny because you would never allow that to happen.
5:32
Speaker 4: That's why he was fleeting next to him for sure.
5:38
Speaker 2: All Right, well, let's talk some World Cup. We're down
5:41
Speaker 2: to three teams. I mean, you tell me felt like
5:45
Speaker 2: Spain handled France pretty easily yesterday?
5:49
Speaker 4: Did it?
5:51
Speaker 2: Did it border on domination in your eyes? Yesterday? Spain
5:55
Speaker 2: versus France.
5:57
Speaker 4: Very much so.
5:59
Speaker 3: Spain strength all the center of the part, they dominated
6:02
Speaker 3: the midfield.
6:02
Speaker 4: It's really where it all happened.
6:04
Speaker 3: And what has been France's weapon all tournament long, the
6:09
Speaker 3: highest goal scorers in the tournament was that offensive four
6:12
Speaker 3: as good of an offensive threat as you've seen in
6:15
Speaker 3: any World Cup at any time, and they just couldn't
6:18
Speaker 3: get it going Bape. You could see the very end
6:20
Speaker 3: he was pushing the goalkeeper down for Spain in frustration,
6:23
Speaker 3: just completely shut down for the entire game, and Spain
6:29
Speaker 3: tactics were fantastic. They have had huge success over the
6:32
Speaker 3: last few years with their head coach Dela Fuente. They
6:34
Speaker 3: have not lost a tournament game that the Euros where
6:37
Speaker 3: they won in twenty twenty four, and then obviously the
6:40
Speaker 3: World Cup.
6:40
Speaker 4: They're on a great run so far.
6:43
Speaker 3: After stubbing their toes somewhat in that first game when
6:46
Speaker 3: they're tied nil nil, but it's been all Spain since then.
6:50
Speaker 4: They've been brilliant at the.
6:51
Speaker 3: Back, they've been really good going forward. They've had some
6:54
Speaker 3: players step up, and of course they have their eighteen
6:56
Speaker 3: year old phenom Lemina Marl who had gayed yesterday and
7:01
Speaker 3: starting to find his feet in this tournament. So I
7:03
Speaker 3: think it was a surprise for everybody in the manner
7:05
Speaker 3: in which it happened but Spain with deserving winners.
7:09
Speaker 2: You know this question is a little self serving, but
7:11
Speaker 2: I think a lot of our listeners are kind of
7:13
Speaker 2: in the same boat with me. They've probably watched more
7:16
Speaker 2: soccer here in the last month than they have in
7:19
Speaker 2: a long time and are trying to like figure out
7:22
Speaker 2: the game through the eyes of experts like yourself. So
7:25
Speaker 2: I have been saying throughout the tournament, if Mbope and
7:29
Speaker 2: Messi are so dominant, then why don't you just double
7:33
Speaker 2: triple team in the entire match and take them out
7:36
Speaker 2: of the game. And I've been told that that just
7:38
Speaker 2: doesn't work. And yet I know they didn't double or
7:41
Speaker 2: triple team him, but they did not let Imbope come
7:44
Speaker 2: up for air yesterday. So I would just ask you
7:49
Speaker 2: what were the tactics that allowed Spain to take such
7:53
Speaker 2: an important piece out of the match almost entirely, And
7:57
Speaker 2: could England steal from some of that stregy today against Messi?
8:03
Speaker 4: I think so.
8:04
Speaker 3: I think Spain have always been a possession orientated team,
8:08
Speaker 3: so they've throughout the World Cups so far they've had
8:11
Speaker 3: about sixty five percent of the ball. So that's the
8:13
Speaker 3: first line of defense if you're forcing a team to
8:16
Speaker 3: chase you with the ball. That can get demoralizing. It
8:19
Speaker 3: can get you can get fatigued, both mentally and physically.
8:22
Speaker 3: Of course, so when you actually get the ball back
8:24
Speaker 3: then of course you have to do something with it.
8:26
Speaker 3: And when you're tired, that's when mistakes happen. And even
8:29
Speaker 3: the best players in the world is you know, as
8:32
Speaker 3: soon as you get the ball, you've been chasing the ball,
8:33
Speaker 3: you have to The expectation is heavy from the country
8:36
Speaker 3: that you have to do something with it, and it
8:38
Speaker 3: just didn't work out. On the flip side, what Spain
8:41
Speaker 3: showed was the way the players a team, not just
8:44
Speaker 3: as a group of individuals. They did lose the ball
8:46
Speaker 3: at times, and then what did they do.
8:48
Speaker 4: They did exactly what you said.
8:49
Speaker 3: They swarmed the ball with two or three players immediately.
8:52
Speaker 3: There was a great example of a player called Baino
8:54
Speaker 3: who got pushed down in his attack in half of
8:57
Speaker 3: the field and did he sit there and can plain no,
9:00
Speaker 3: he didn't get the call. He jumped up, sprinted right
9:02
Speaker 3: back and helped his teammates win the ball back.
9:05
Speaker 4: So it was a great.
9:07
Speaker 3: Example of how to play the team offensively with the ball,
9:11
Speaker 3: which they've done so well for so many years the Spanish,
9:14
Speaker 3: but then defensively they did swarm the ball and they
9:18
Speaker 3: nullified everything that the France could give them. And it's
9:22
Speaker 3: not just Ambappe, it's you know, Den Bealle was the
9:24
Speaker 3: worldt Player of the Year just a couple of years ago.
9:26
Speaker 3: At least they may be the biggest transfer coming out
9:29
Speaker 3: of soccer going to Real Madrid.
9:33
Speaker 4: There's rumors of that.
9:34
Speaker 3: And you have other players who have just won the
9:36
Speaker 3: Champions League with Paris and Jaman So.
9:38
Speaker 4: It's not just a Bape that's the thing.
9:40
Speaker 3: He could swarm one player, but there's multiple and they
9:43
Speaker 3: did a fantastic job, all right.
9:45
Speaker 2: So Imbape blamed the coach, the coach blamed the refs.
9:48
Speaker 2: Who's more right?
9:52
Speaker 4: You know?
9:53
Speaker 3: I would say you think about the England situation at
9:55
Speaker 3: the end of last yay. You know, when the coach
9:57
Speaker 3: says the team didn't play well and then Dude Bellingham
9:59
Speaker 3: their snapback at the coach. Sometimes you can both be right.
10:04
Speaker 3: I don't know if blaming the coach at this point
10:06
Speaker 3: a coach the inn Didier de Champ for the French,
10:09
Speaker 3: who has won the World Cup in nineteen ninety eight
10:11
Speaker 3: as the captain has won a World Cup in twenty
10:14
Speaker 3: eighteen as a coach for the national team.
10:16
Speaker 4: This was his last game.
10:18
Speaker 3: It was a world record breaking number of games twenty
10:22
Speaker 3: six games in the World.
10:23
Speaker 4: Cup as coach that has not been surpassed by any of.
10:25
Speaker 3: The coach so he's earned his status as one of
10:28
Speaker 3: the best and the most successful coaches, but on BAP courses,
10:32
Speaker 3: by all accounts, one of the most successful players in
10:35
Speaker 3: the World Cup. Going into yesterday's game, he had twenty
10:38
Speaker 3: goals from twenty World Cup games, which is quite phenomenal.
10:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. Nanny Jackson has with a huge part
10:43
Speaker 2: of our World Cup coverage and of course play by
10:46
Speaker 2: play voice of the Seattle Sounders, former sounder himself, and
10:49
Speaker 2: we've been leaning on his knowledge pretty heavily as a
10:52
Speaker 2: station and certainly on this show as well. So we're
10:54
Speaker 2: happy to have him this morning to talk about the
10:57
Speaker 2: final three remaining in the World Cups. Oh, what is
11:01
Speaker 2: it going to take to get your mom's favorite soccer
11:03
Speaker 2: team to the World Cup Final?
11:07
Speaker 3: You know, listen, yesterday's game was about the Purists. It
11:10
Speaker 3: was a game where both teams play fantastic soccer with
11:14
Speaker 3: the ball. The crowd is a little more quiet than
11:17
Speaker 3: you'd expect for a World Cup and that's just the
11:19
Speaker 3: nature of the two countries and the two sets of teams.
11:22
Speaker 4: Today will be a wholly different situation.
11:26
Speaker 3: You've got two of the most passionate sets of supporters
11:29
Speaker 3: in the Argentinians and the English.
11:31
Speaker 4: They have traveled in their numbers.
11:33
Speaker 3: It will be in a climate controlled environment now versus
11:37
Speaker 3: what it was in Miami for the English, which was
11:39
Speaker 3: extremely hot. Kansas City has been extremely hot and humid
11:42
Speaker 3: as well. Where Argentina is play it will be in
11:45
Speaker 3: Atlanta Stadium and it will be emotional on the field.
11:50
Speaker 3: It will be emotional off the field, and it's a
11:53
Speaker 3: question about which players can can handle that emotion, that
11:56
Speaker 3: pressure and obviously execute at the right times. Huge history
12:00
Speaker 3: with Argentina in England. It's not just on the pitch
12:03
Speaker 3: but also off the pitch. The Falklands War was a
12:05
Speaker 3: conflict between Argentina and England back in the early eighties.
12:09
Speaker 3: That is still front very much on the forefront of
12:12
Speaker 3: the minds of the Argentinians are the people they lost
12:15
Speaker 3: in that conflict and that carries on to the field.
12:18
Speaker 3: There's a really famous image of Diego Marrijana in the
12:21
Speaker 3: famous nineteen eighty six game between Argentina and England and
12:25
Speaker 3: the World Cup and the Azteca, the famous ground in
12:28
Speaker 3: Mexico City where he looks across the line of English
12:31
Speaker 3: players with this kind of scorn look, and he was
12:35
Speaker 3: after the game he talked about how much the Falklands
12:37
Speaker 3: War was on the forefront of his mind when he
12:39
Speaker 3: did the Hand of God. And then, by all accounts,
12:42
Speaker 3: in my opinion, the best goal ever scored in a
12:44
Speaker 3: World Cup when he took the ball half the length
12:46
Speaker 3: of the pitch and around seven English players and scored
12:49
Speaker 3: a brilliant goal. So it's carried through with David Beckham
12:52
Speaker 3: sending off in nineteen ninety eight in the World Cup
12:54
Speaker 3: between England and Argentina, and then the last game was
12:57
Speaker 3: two thousand and two when in a World Cup when
12:59
Speaker 3: England and one on penalties. So it's going to be
13:03
Speaker 3: an incredible game. Brilliant players messy as you mentioned Harry Kane,
13:08
Speaker 3: Jude Bellingham and a number of other world class players
13:11
Speaker 3: as well.
13:11
Speaker 2: What has Jude Bellingham done for his status in this sport.
13:16
Speaker 2: I'm sure he was already considered one of the best,
13:19
Speaker 2: but it's as if he's put his name in for
13:22
Speaker 2: something more this tournament.
13:25
Speaker 3: Jude Belling has been an interesting story of the last
13:27
Speaker 3: few months. There was a question whether he would even
13:29
Speaker 3: start for England. He was dropped by Thomas Tookle, the
13:33
Speaker 3: head coach of England, a few camps ago in preparation
13:37
Speaker 3: for the World Cup. He hasn't had a great season
13:40
Speaker 3: in terms of fitness, but he's a brilliant, brilliant player,
13:43
Speaker 3: no question about it. He's world class. He plays at
13:45
Speaker 3: Real Madrid. He went there as a twenty year old.
13:48
Speaker 3: In his first season, I think he was top goalscorer.
13:50
Speaker 4: Player of the year in Spain for arguably the.
13:53
Speaker 3: Biggest club in the world. And he's been dominant in
13:57
Speaker 3: this World Cup. He's carried England in the last two games.
14:00
Speaker 3: Harry Kane got England out of the muck, so to speak,
14:05
Speaker 3: against the Congo with two late goals, and then it's
14:07
Speaker 3: been Jude Bellingham against Mexico at the Azteca, which was
14:11
Speaker 3: an incredible feat of resilience there for the English down
14:14
Speaker 3: to ten minute altitude against.
14:17
Speaker 4: The boisterous crowd.
14:17
Speaker 3: And then obviously in the heat of Miami he carried
14:20
Speaker 3: England with two goals against Norway and the great Harland.
14:23
Speaker 3: So he has been a player that's carried the team
14:25
Speaker 3: on his back. He's a young player and he's very
14:28
Speaker 3: early twenties. I think he's twenty two. He speaks eloquently,
14:32
Speaker 3: he's great off the field, he's great on the field,
14:35
Speaker 3: and he's proven himself to be truly a world class
14:38
Speaker 3: player at such.
14:39
Speaker 4: A young age. And you know the focus will be
14:42
Speaker 4: on him for sure.
14:44
Speaker 3: But don't forget Harry Kaine, who could be the Player
14:47
Speaker 3: of the Year, the World Player of the Year this
14:48
Speaker 3: year after his season at Buyer Munich. So England definitely
14:52
Speaker 3: have a five pound to.
14:52
Speaker 4: Win this game.
14:53
Speaker 2: Talking World Cup with Danny Jackson here this morning, I
14:56
Speaker 2: don't know how much you follow American football, imagine a
15:00
Speaker 2: little bit, so I'm sure you've heard the name Patrick
15:02
Speaker 2: Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, a lot of
15:04
Speaker 2: football fans think that the rest are in on it,
15:07
Speaker 2: and they rig a lot of games and they get
15:09
Speaker 2: all the calls, and I think most of that is
15:12
Speaker 2: that they're just sick of watching the Kansas City Chiefs
15:14
Speaker 2: win over the last few years. But then once you
15:19
Speaker 2: start hearing people complain about that, it does seem that
15:23
Speaker 2: they rest do give them an advantage here in there.
15:26
Speaker 2: It just kind of feels that way, And I'm getting
15:29
Speaker 2: the impression in in football that a lot of countries,
15:35
Speaker 2: a lot of soccer fans worldwide kind of feel like
15:38
Speaker 2: Argentina gets way too many calls, Messi gets way too
15:42
Speaker 2: much benefit of the doubt and there seems to be
15:46
Speaker 2: to me, Danny, a real hatred for Argentina. Could you
15:50
Speaker 2: explain that relationship between Messi, Argentina and the rest of
15:55
Speaker 2: the soccer world.
15:57
Speaker 3: Well, it'd be incredibly successful Number one, Messy being the
16:01
Speaker 3: best player of all time.
16:02
Speaker 4: But Cilly.
16:03
Speaker 3: In this Worke Cup last two games, so against Egypt,
16:06
Speaker 3: there was a goal that was disallowed for Egypt that
16:07
Speaker 3: would have put them up.
16:08
Speaker 4: Two goals to nil.
16:09
Speaker 3: They eventually went up to nil and then Argentina had
16:12
Speaker 3: this miraculous comeback to score three goals before the end
16:15
Speaker 3: of the regulation time to win that game. But there
16:18
Speaker 3: was a foul that was given up in the run
16:20
Speaker 3: of player the goal was scored. It was called back
16:22
Speaker 3: by the referee way back into their own defensive half
16:27
Speaker 3: of the field after a foul played on an Argentinian player.
16:30
Speaker 3: There was controversy to that, and then of course against
16:33
Speaker 3: Switzerland there was the simulation yellow card where the Argentinian
16:38
Speaker 3: player got the yellow card. Initially it went to var
16:40
Speaker 3: video replay it was seen that the Swiss player had
16:44
Speaker 3: simulated by diving and rightly so got a yellow card,
16:47
Speaker 3: and then that was his second yellow card, and that
16:49
Speaker 3: got a red and that allowed Argentina to really start
16:53
Speaker 3: dominating that game again and eventually won it.
16:56
Speaker 4: There is some question about some of the.
16:57
Speaker 3: Calls that are getting I do think it's more about
17:00
Speaker 3: FIFA and some of the complexity they place on tournaments
17:03
Speaker 3: like this when they try and change so many rules
17:06
Speaker 3: right on the eve of a World Cup. It's confusing
17:09
Speaker 3: for players. It's equally confusing, of course for referees or
17:12
Speaker 3: a human and can be caught up in the emotion
17:16
Speaker 3: of it all and trying to put together these new
17:17
Speaker 3: rules and regulations. And then of course you have Messi
17:20
Speaker 3: on the other side, chirping away as he does, try
17:23
Speaker 3: to influence things as best he can. And I think
17:25
Speaker 3: there was a thin the lip breeder said in one
17:28
Speaker 3: of the media postings that said Messi said something to
17:33
Speaker 3: the effect of, hey, do you know who I am?
17:35
Speaker 3: You need to make the right core. So you know,
17:39
Speaker 3: is that hyperbally is that speculation?
17:41
Speaker 4: Messi has earned his right to be respected, but.
17:45
Speaker 3: Certainly you hope that they pushed aside. The fascinating thing
17:48
Speaker 3: about the referee for this game coming up at Argentina England.
17:52
Speaker 3: It's a refining called Alfare, who is a MLS referee
17:57
Speaker 3: and he obviously has read Messi in MLS for Miami.
18:03
Speaker 3: He's a very well respected referee domestically. This will be
18:06
Speaker 3: the biggest game of his career. I would imagine he's
18:09
Speaker 3: going to be required to really put.
18:12
Speaker 4: A handle on the emotion of it.
18:13
Speaker 3: It will be a fistfight, it would be a street fight,
18:16
Speaker 3: this game mixed in with world class players. But he's
18:19
Speaker 3: going to have to temper that emotion, have to control
18:22
Speaker 3: that game and not let it get out of hand.
18:24
Speaker 3: So it's it's a big game for the players, but
18:27
Speaker 3: a big game for an American based referee as well,
18:30
Speaker 3: Which is which is?
18:31
Speaker 4: Which is fantastic? All right?
18:32
Speaker 2: Speaking of emotions, what's England like right now leading up
18:35
Speaker 2: to kickoff? What's the whole country, what's the what's the
18:38
Speaker 2: temper there, temper temperature there?
18:42
Speaker 4: You know, we've been fortunate. We've we've been the bridesmaid,
18:46
Speaker 4: never the pride.
18:47
Speaker 3: We've we've got there at the precipice of finals in
18:50
Speaker 3: twenty twenty in the Euros and we fell to Italy.
18:53
Speaker 3: We've lost of Croatia in the semi final of a
18:56
Speaker 3: World Cup in twenty eighteen, so you know, we think
18:59
Speaker 3: we should be It's the first time in World Cup
19:02
Speaker 3: history that the top four seeded teams have made the
19:04
Speaker 3: semi finals.
19:05
Speaker 4: So England is seated number four.
19:07
Speaker 3: And I believe Argentina, based on their World Cup and
19:10
Speaker 3: Copra America victories, are actually seeded number one.
19:12
Speaker 4: You could speculate should France be in that number.
19:15
Speaker 3: One spot for sure, but England is definitely going to
19:19
Speaker 3: shut down, as will Argentina. They will be focused heavily
19:23
Speaker 3: on this game.
19:24
Speaker 4: The interesting thing is being.
19:26
Speaker 3: A twelve o'clock kick for specific time three o'clock on
19:30
Speaker 3: the East Coast and Atlanta, well it's eight o'clock primetime
19:33
Speaker 3: in the UK, being eight hours ahead of US on Pacific,
19:36
Speaker 3: so it will it will be every set of eyeballs
19:39
Speaker 3: will be.
19:40
Speaker 4: On this game.
19:40
Speaker 3: It's a chance to make to go to the World
19:42
Speaker 3: Cup final. Of course, with a German head coach. Who
19:47
Speaker 3: would have thought, and it's going to be a fascinating matchup.
19:51
Speaker 3: But I think I think the English are quietly confident.
19:54
Speaker 3: I think we have we believe we have a good chance.
19:56
Speaker 3: We wanted this game, I think just for just for
19:58
Speaker 3: that the theater of playing Argentina and Messi in the
20:02
Speaker 3: World Cup, which obviously for the English don want to
20:05
Speaker 3: make this the last game that Messi will ever play
20:07
Speaker 3: in a World Cup and then get there on Sunday
20:10
Speaker 3: in New Jersey and play the Spanish in an all
20:13
Speaker 3: European final and hopefully get one over the finish line.
20:16
Speaker 3: All right, well, good luck, go England, Go England home,
20:21
Speaker 3: it's coming home.
20:26
Speaker 2: Thank you man, have a blast today and we will
20:29
Speaker 2: enjoy the coverage, so thank you very much.
20:32
Speaker 4: Thanks appreciate the time.
20:33
Speaker 2: All right, Danny Jackson joining us right here on the
20:36
Speaker 2: radio program. As today it will be Argentina versus England,
20:41
Speaker 2: and again that will be a noon start. We'll have
20:43
Speaker 2: pregame for you at eleven thirty, so you'll hear from
20:47
Speaker 2: all of our experts then. So a lot of excitement
20:50
Speaker 2: going into this one, no question about it. Let's go
20:53
Speaker 2: all right, coming up next, we are ten days away
20:56
Speaker 2: from all of our lives changing again for the batter
20:59
Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Maybe everything for
21:14
Speaker 2: you today is I gotta watch the soccer match. I
21:17
Speaker 2: gotta watch that, and I need a environment where I'm
21:21
Speaker 2: around other sports fans. I don't want to just sit
21:24
Speaker 2: watch it at home or with my aunt Betsy.
21:27
Speaker 1: No, she's terrible at watching soccer.
21:29
Speaker 2: I got a pretty good feeling about who's going to win,
21:32
Speaker 2: and wouldn't hate to win some money off of this
21:36
Speaker 2: hunch that I've got. Well, guess what you can satisfy
21:40
Speaker 2: all of those interests at the Tila Persort Casino today.
21:44
Speaker 2: Head on up there, watch the match at noon today.
21:48
Speaker 2: Everything you want waiting for you there. There's food, there's drink,
21:52
Speaker 2: there's other forms of entertainment. But if you're just going
21:56
Speaker 2: to lay down a couple of ducats down on the
21:59
Speaker 2: old soccer match, well you can do that too. Can't
22:03
Speaker 2: do it at ant Betsy's, I'll tell you that much'll.
22:05
Speaker 1: She'll just stuff you full of Brussels sprouts.
22:07
Speaker 2: She's been cheating by that sportsbook of hers for years.
22:11
Speaker 2: All right, it's Chuck and Ashley with you here this morning,
22:15
Speaker 2: Reckless at breakfast before the hour comes to a close,
22:17
Speaker 2: Brady Cannon. Of course, if it's snuck up on you
22:20
Speaker 2: like it did me sort of. We have our fourth
22:23
Speaker 2: and final major of the year, the Open Championship, starts tomorrow,
22:26
Speaker 2: so we have to check in with the Las Vegas
22:28
Speaker 2: golfer himself, Brady Cannon, at eight o'clock. But we are
22:32
Speaker 2: ten days away from training camp, and so we have
22:35
Speaker 2: a lot of these lists coming out, so ten days
22:38
Speaker 2: away from training camp, and the one that's creating the
22:40
Speaker 2: most buzz out there ten days from camp is the
22:44
Speaker 2: top ten quarterback list that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. He did
22:49
Speaker 2: his research, he ranked, or he polled coaches, executives and scouts.
22:54
Speaker 2: Doesn't tell us which ones have no idea, but he
22:58
Speaker 2: came out with his top ten. What really had people
23:01
Speaker 2: buzzing is something we talked about yesterday in our six
23:04
Speaker 2: o'clock hour, Josh Allen being ahead of Patrick Mahomes and
23:09
Speaker 2: then and then here in Seattle. I'm sure they weren't
23:13
Speaker 2: talking about this as much nationally since they've been doubting
23:17
Speaker 2: our guy for years, but it was certainly conspicuous to
23:23
Speaker 2: us that Sam Donald did not crack the top ten
23:27
Speaker 2: here in Seattle. So you know, maybe we're a little bias.
23:30
Speaker 2: Maybe we're riding this Super Bowl wave. So I thought
23:34
Speaker 2: maybe we have a conversation today Ashley on Okay, who
23:37
Speaker 2: would we take out? I mean it's one thing to
23:39
Speaker 2: say our guy should be a top ten guy, but
23:42
Speaker 2: of the top ten guys, who do we think our
23:46
Speaker 2: guy is better than that? We would trade him? Yeah,
23:51
Speaker 2: we we would not trade him for that quarterback. We
23:54
Speaker 2: don't think that would be an upgrade. Ok So let's
23:57
Speaker 2: talk about Sam Donald and who really shouldn't be ahead
24:01
Speaker 2: of him on this top ten list. Josh Allen, No, no,
24:04
Speaker 2: I don't think so either. Patrick Mahomes, No, no, I
24:07
Speaker 2: don't think so either. Matthew Stafford, No, no, I don't
24:11
Speaker 2: think so either. I mean Matt Stafford is the only
24:15
Speaker 2: guy that solved Mike McDonald's defense last year. So yeah,
24:19
Speaker 2: and he's just special now in terms of like a
24:22
Speaker 2: long term investment, maybe maybe I'll go there. I mean,
24:25
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford can't have too many more years.
24:27
Speaker 1: No, I would hope not.
24:29
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow.
24:31
Speaker 1: I don't know Joe Burrow.
24:32
Speaker 5: I mean, Joe Burrow is very good, but he's very
24:34
Speaker 5: injury prone and doesn't seem very reliable.
24:36
Speaker 2: You know what, I think it's fair to knock him
24:38
Speaker 2: a little bit, but I do believe when he's on
24:40
Speaker 2: the field he is exceptional. And so let's just put
24:44
Speaker 2: it this way. I would rank Joe Burrow ahead of
24:46
Speaker 2: Sam Donold, but I don't think it's a.
24:50
Speaker 5: Runaway, right, A favorite is not as dependable because of
24:54
Speaker 5: his injuries.
24:54
Speaker 2: Yeah. Number five, Lamar Jackson coming off a rough year.
24:58
Speaker 5: He did have a rough year, but I do I
25:00
Speaker 5: think he's better than last year actually showed.
25:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think i'd take Lamar.
25:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too, And I think that we
25:07
Speaker 2: do have to allow any player at any level and
25:11
Speaker 2: any sport to have an off year. Yeah, I would agree,
25:13
Speaker 2: you know, and be able to, especially when they've accomplished
25:16
Speaker 2: as much, at least individually as Lamar jacks I mean,
25:19
Speaker 2: he's won two MVPs and should have won the third.
25:21
Speaker 1: Correct.
25:21
Speaker 2: He was better than Josh Allen two years ago in
25:24
Speaker 2: terms of his production, and so yeah, I think that
25:28
Speaker 2: Lamar gets a pass for twenty twenty six, and considering
25:33
Speaker 2: everything that he's done on a football field, I'd rank
25:36
Speaker 2: them him ahead as well. So we're in an agreement
25:38
Speaker 2: on this, but that he's next five, Dak Prescott at
25:40
Speaker 2: number six, I don't know.
25:42
Speaker 5: I can't quite understand all of the hype around Dak
25:45
Speaker 5: Prescott because.
25:47
Speaker 2: I think that's fair.
25:48
Speaker 5: He I mean, the team underperforms every year, so what
25:51
Speaker 5: is he really doing for them?
25:53
Speaker 1: I put Sam out of Dak press Yeah, I think
25:54
Speaker 1: I would too.
25:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I like Dak Prescott, but I'll tell you,
25:58
Speaker 2: like three four years ago, I really like Dak Prescott
26:01
Speaker 2: and I thought to myself, Man, this guy really gets overlooked.
26:04
Speaker 2: And yeah, he puts up numbers, but then again, he's
26:06
Speaker 2: got CD Lamb and George Pickens last year in his lineup,
26:11
Speaker 2: and yeah, where are those big wins? Where are those
26:15
Speaker 2: playoff wins? I mean, it seems like it's always about
26:20
Speaker 2: championships until Sam Darnald wins one and now we look
26:24
Speaker 2: at everything else but that, right, And so I would
26:28
Speaker 2: put Sam Darnoald out of Dak Prescott.
26:29
Speaker 5: I would, yeah, And I do think obviously you can
26:31
Speaker 5: blame the Cowboys defense on some of their crappiness, but
26:35
Speaker 5: I just don't. Yeah, I just don't understand why Dak
26:37
Speaker 5: Prescott is continuously so hyped.
26:40
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is probably overhyped, and I've probably contributed to
26:44
Speaker 2: that he's at number seven. I personally think he's excellent,
26:50
Speaker 2: except for the fact that I think he has to
26:52
Speaker 2: we have to lay some of that abuse that he
26:54
Speaker 2: takes on himself. I think he is defiant in his
27:00
Speaker 2: getting rid of the football. Yeah, he's downright. I know
27:03
Speaker 2: he doesn't get a lot of protection, but it's almost
27:06
Speaker 2: as if he's a glutton for punishment. Throw the damn
27:08
Speaker 2: ball away, and I'm really starting to run out of excuses.
27:14
Speaker 2: You know, it can't be all on the offensive line Herbert, right,
27:19
Speaker 2: But I do think he's an exceptional talent, So I
27:23
Speaker 2: would put him ahead of Sam Donald. But I'm gonna
27:26
Speaker 2: say for one more year and then that's it. Yeah,
27:28
Speaker 2: he improve it this year, and if Sam has a
27:30
Speaker 2: little bit of an off year or I'm flip flopping
27:33
Speaker 2: that next season for sure.
27:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'd have to prove something this year because you Yeah,
27:39
Speaker 5: we all know you're tough. We get it, but we
27:41
Speaker 5: don't need to see it on display constantly. At some point,
27:43
Speaker 5: you've got to make smarter decisions and then some of
27:46
Speaker 5: your biggest moments you've made the most boneheaded decisions.
27:50
Speaker 2: Drake May. No, no, you wouldn't.
27:53
Speaker 1: Put oh no, I would not put Drake May ahead
27:55
Speaker 1: of Sam Donald. I would put Sam Donald ahead of
27:57
Speaker 1: Drake May.
27:57
Speaker 2: Well, they did play this little game called the Super Bowl.
28:00
Speaker 1: How'd it go?
28:02
Speaker 2: Well? I will say this in Drake May's defense. Sam
28:05
Speaker 2: Donald didn't have to face the Seahawks defense. That's true, Okay.
28:09
Speaker 2: And Drake took a huge step forward in his second year.
28:12
Speaker 2: I get why he's ranked ahead of Sam because you're
28:16
Speaker 2: glowing for right now. You're kind of projecting in a
28:19
Speaker 2: way for the upcoming year. And if he took that
28:22
Speaker 2: big of a jump where he was an MVP candidate
28:24
Speaker 2: in year number two, he's probably going to take another
28:27
Speaker 2: jump forward in year number three. I don't know if
28:32
Speaker 2: like head to head right now, I don't know. Maybe
28:36
Speaker 2: that might be my bias poking through, But I do
28:40
Speaker 2: understand why Drake May's on this list ahead of Sam Donald,
28:44
Speaker 2: Jared Goff.
28:46
Speaker 5: I mean, he puts up a lot of numbers, but again,
28:48
Speaker 5: where are the big wins to go along with it?
28:51
Speaker 5: They just seem to fall short, and it seems oftentimes
28:54
Speaker 5: to be partly his fault.
28:56
Speaker 2: I'm going to put Sam ahead of Jared Goff, Yeah
28:59
Speaker 2: at this point, And I've come a long way on
29:01
Speaker 2: Jared Golf. Actually, he's been my fantasy quarterback for each
29:04
Speaker 2: of the last two years.
29:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love him, and I love the Lions. I
29:07
Speaker 1: wish they could do better.
29:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, but considering how many weapons he has there in Detroit,
29:12
Speaker 2: I don't think it should be a big surprise that
29:14
Speaker 2: he's having some statistical success there. But man, I think
29:20
Speaker 2: I think he shrinks sometimes in those big moments, and
29:24
Speaker 2: our guy kind of stepped up in the biggest moments
29:26
Speaker 2: a year ago. So I'd put Sam ahead of him,
29:28
Speaker 2: and then Caleb Williams is number ten. Yeah.
29:32
Speaker 5: I mean I can understand why they put him in
29:34
Speaker 5: there because Chicago had some very exciting moments last year,
29:38
Speaker 5: and he helped author a lot of those exciting endings.
29:41
Speaker 5: But the problem is some of those games shouldn't have
29:43
Speaker 5: been as exciting as they were, and Chicago kind of
29:47
Speaker 5: spent three quarters sucking their thumbs and then decided to
29:51
Speaker 5: play in the fourth quarter.
29:52
Speaker 1: So I just can't. I can't put him ahead of
29:54
Speaker 1: Sam down.
29:55
Speaker 2: He seemed to get a lot of good results last year,
29:57
Speaker 2: but I don't know if the process was equaled the results. Yeah,
30:03
Speaker 2: and you know who had a very similar season to
30:06
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams the year before, Jade and Daniels. And it's
30:11
Speaker 2: like he had a horseshoe up as butt two years ago. Daniels, Well,
30:14
Speaker 2: guess what, that's lucky horseshoe fell out. And then I
30:18
Speaker 2: thought Caleb Williams looked very similar all these crazy, wacky
30:22
Speaker 2: fourth quarter comebacks. And there's no doubt that he's an
30:25
Speaker 2: incredible talent that could be seen. But I don't know
30:28
Speaker 2: if the decision making process was even good a year ago.
30:31
Speaker 2: So I mean he he is a product of hype him.
30:36
Speaker 2: I'd put Sam out of him as well. So to me,
30:39
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, as much as we're like not
30:42
Speaker 2: top ten, I mean I still don't have him top eight,
30:46
Speaker 2: but I put Sam in the top ten. I put
30:48
Speaker 2: him in over Prescott, Goff and Williams on this list.
30:51
Speaker 2: That's how I would do it. And I think that
30:53
Speaker 2: it just as funny that World Championships moved the needle
30:57
Speaker 2: so much for so many quarterbacks unless Sam wins it,
31:01
Speaker 2: and now it doesn't move the needle as much. So
31:04
Speaker 2: I think Sam Donald's cracked the top ten in the
31:06
Speaker 2: National Football League, and I think I'd put him right
31:08
Speaker 2: there at about number nine.
31:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, And because it's not just about his athleticism or
31:13
Speaker 5: his talent and skill, it's about as a whole, can
31:16
Speaker 5: you lead a team? Can you make the right decisions
31:18
Speaker 5: in the right moments? And I think he's proven it
31:20
Speaker 5: May eight or nine.
31:22
Speaker 2: I think I kind of double spoke there eight eight,
31:24
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't put him out of Herbert yet. I
31:26
Speaker 2: wouldn't put him ahead of May, but i'd put him
31:27
Speaker 2: out of Williams goff In Prescott. I'd put him there
31:30
Speaker 2: at number eight. And I still believe Sam Donald's got
31:33
Speaker 2: a lot more ceiling to reach. I think in the
31:35
Speaker 2: last couple of years he's figured out a lot of
31:38
Speaker 2: things about how to play this game, when to go
31:40
Speaker 2: for it, when to snap off, be aggressive. And I
31:44
Speaker 2: think that he's going to apply that to a third
31:47
Speaker 2: season as a full time starter with the confidence. As
31:50
Speaker 2: Hugh Millen pointed out, he's never before had the confidence
31:53
Speaker 2: of entering a season as a Super Bowl champion. We
31:56
Speaker 2: might yet see the best in Sam Donald here in
31:59
Speaker 2: the years to come.
32:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, And by the time the Seahawks win the fifth
32:01
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, other people.
32:02
Speaker 1: Will believe it too.
32:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he'll get to the number seven. Yeah, after
32:06
Speaker 2: five Super Bowls. Reckless at breakfast next Yeah, I got
32:10
Speaker 2: to talk about Luis Castillo again today on Sports Radio
32:13
Speaker 2: ninety three point three kh A RFM. But I'm gonna
32:15
Speaker 2: talk to some Luis Castillo again because another round of
32:18
Speaker 2: rumors have started, and I just want to warn everybody.
32:22
Speaker 2: I think there's some podcasters and bloggers out there that
32:25
Speaker 2: really have some really interesting, fresh opinions on baseball. There's
32:29
Speaker 2: some that don't. And yet I'm not sure there is
32:33
Speaker 2: a podcaster or blogger out there that understands what trade
32:38
Speaker 2: value is. So don't get overwrought by somebody who's a
32:44
Speaker 2: Mets fan who's made a trade to get Las Montes
32:49
Speaker 2: from us, because they don't know what they're talking about. Okay,
32:53
Speaker 2: So don't worry, don't panic, and don't get over stressed
32:56
Speaker 2: over it. But certainly these all are the sources that
33:01
Speaker 2: are stirring up all this conversation. Sure you can look
33:05
Speaker 2: at the Mariners situation and say they have too many
33:07
Speaker 2: starting pitchers, trading deadline is coming up, who should you trade?
33:13
Speaker 2: If you're not looking at any other variables, you're like well,
33:15
Speaker 2: you should trade the sixth best guy of the six
33:19
Speaker 2: the one that is the oldest and makes the most money.
33:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would make the most sense.
33:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's who you would like to trade at the
33:26
Speaker 2: trading deadline. But the truth of the matter is, as
33:28
Speaker 2: I've talked about numerous times, he doesn't hold a lot
33:30
Speaker 2: of trade value out there. So that's why the last
33:33
Speaker 2: twenty four hours of Luis Castillo trade talk has been
33:37
Speaker 2: a bit interesting. For example, the New York Mets have
33:43
Speaker 2: come up, and again this is a podcaster and a blogger,
33:45
Speaker 2: and he got Mariners all all riled up, Mariner fans
33:49
Speaker 2: all riled up because he suggested Castillo and Las Montes
33:54
Speaker 2: for Jorge Polanco and Luke Weaver. I think it's actually
33:59
Speaker 2: kind of creative from the standpoint of Kudjore Polonko. A
34:05
Speaker 2: Polonko type help us more down the stretch than a
34:11
Speaker 2: sixth starting pitcher who may move to the bullpen as
34:15
Speaker 2: early as Friday. You know, yeah, we could definitely use
34:19
Speaker 2: a hitter. And we liked Polonko, right, I mean, he
34:22
Speaker 2: finished last season terrific for us, but he's hardly played
34:28
Speaker 2: this year. When he has played, he hasn't played well,
34:30
Speaker 2: and he carries a big salary himself two years, forty
34:33
Speaker 2: million dollars. Here's why it's creative, because you're if you're
34:36
Speaker 2: gonna move Castillo, there's the potential you're going to have
34:40
Speaker 2: to take back a bad contract in return. But maybe
34:43
Speaker 2: that bad contract helps you become a better team right now.
34:48
Speaker 2: But I need that player that you get in return
34:50
Speaker 2: to be better than Castillo is a pitcher, and I'm
34:53
Speaker 2: not sure Polonko satisfies that. Luke Weaver is a nice addition.
34:58
Speaker 2: He is dominating right handers this season, and he's been
35:01
Speaker 2: very good as a reliever of the last three years,
35:03
Speaker 2: and he's been very good again this year. But I
35:05
Speaker 2: don't know if the Mariners are in the eleven million
35:08
Speaker 2: dollars for a middle reliever market like the Mets and
35:12
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Dodgers get to play in that market.
35:15
Speaker 2: That's just one of those things that most teams don't
35:18
Speaker 2: spend a ton of money on, is a middle reliever
35:21
Speaker 2: making eleven million dollars a year. The Mets do it
35:24
Speaker 2: because they're terrible and stupid. So I don't mind the
35:30
Speaker 2: creativity abound this. But the two things that I do
35:32
Speaker 2: mind is if I'm going to trade Castillo for a
35:35
Speaker 2: veteran hitter. I need that hitter to be hitting well
35:38
Speaker 2: right now. Okay, we have enough problems. We can't now
35:41
Speaker 2: try to resurrect Polanco season. Also, Las Montes is right out.
35:46
Speaker 2: You can have another one of our prospects, but not
35:49
Speaker 2: one of our big guys. You can't have Montes in
35:51
Speaker 2: this trade. No chance. The Atlanta Braves have come up
35:55
Speaker 2: in the last twenty four hours as a possibility again.
35:58
Speaker 2: They are in first place right now. They are trying
36:01
Speaker 2: to contend, and yes they need starting pitching help. But
36:04
Speaker 2: I don't see this as being you know what this
36:06
Speaker 2: is gonna look like. If Castillo gets traded to the
36:08
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves, it's gonna be Castillo for some prospect ew Yeah,
36:13
Speaker 2: I mean they're not gonna give up a good hitter,
36:17
Speaker 2: one of their good hitters. They're not gonna give us
36:19
Speaker 2: Matt Olson for Luis Castillo. They might give us Austin
36:22
Speaker 2: Riley because they went out from underneath that contract. But
36:25
Speaker 2: he's hitting two oh eight and strikes out two times
36:27
Speaker 2: every at bat.
36:28
Speaker 1: And has a big contract. So what are we really gaining.
36:31
Speaker 2: You Well, I mean, you get a right handed thumper
36:33
Speaker 2: who plays third base, which is possibly a hole for you,
36:37
Speaker 2: but he's he's hitting horribly this year, and of course
36:41
Speaker 2: they want to get out of his contract. So I
36:43
Speaker 2: don't really see that as a marriage unless you want
36:46
Speaker 2: to be angry by the fact that we made a
36:48
Speaker 2: trade deadline trade where we were the sellers and not buyers,
36:50
Speaker 2: because that's what you're gonna get if you trade with
36:53
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves. Now last one and I'll do this quickly.
36:56
Speaker 2: Chicago Cubs and again another podcaster, slash blogger Flow did
37:00
Speaker 2: this out, but it's got the internet all buzzing. Say
37:03
Speaker 2: a Suzuki straight up, yes, I'll do that.
37:08
Speaker 1: How I just don't know how anyone would do that
37:11
Speaker 1: for us.
37:12
Speaker 2: The Cubs aren't going to do that. Yeah, we but
37:14
Speaker 2: I'd even throw in a prospect, now, one of our
37:16
Speaker 2: best ones, but I'd throw in a good prospect to
37:19
Speaker 2: make that happen. His contract expires at the end of
37:22
Speaker 2: this year. There's more value in Suzuki's expiring contract than
37:26
Speaker 2: there is Castillo on the books for twenty four million
37:29
Speaker 2: again next year, especially when we really don't need him.
37:32
Speaker 2: Kate Anderson's going to be that much older and that
37:34
Speaker 2: much bigger a part of our starting rotation plans. So yeah,
37:38
Speaker 2: if that's really what you want to do, blogger who's
37:42
Speaker 2: speaking on behalf of the Cubs deal, let's shake hands
37:46
Speaker 2: on that.
37:47
Speaker 1: We make that happen.
37:48
Speaker 2: I'll take the thirty one year old crusher of baseballs
37:54
Speaker 2: with an expiring contract, and I know the Cubs really
37:58
Speaker 2: need starting pitching. You can have our thirty three year
38:01
Speaker 2: old right handed seventh best starter in our organization and
38:06
Speaker 2: you can make him your ace if you'd like, if
38:08
Speaker 2: you're that desperate for starting pitching. But yeah, we'll take Suzuki,
38:12
Speaker 2: you take Castillo. Can't we shake on it? I mean,
38:16
Speaker 2: I'll write it in pen if you want, I'll put
38:18
Speaker 2: it in concrete, I'll chisel, I'll get a tattoo of it.
38:21
Speaker 2: If you'd like, I'll do that trade. But I think again,
38:25
Speaker 2: that's probably just reckless bloggers floating out trades that get
38:29
Speaker 2: people stirred up. All right, Coming on next, Brady Cannon
38:32
