• 3:58
  Speaker 1: We missed the All Star Game, which after the FIR
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I saw the three runs on the top of the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: first and then the game was over. National League did
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: not score, and we'll talk about what the best part
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and they had none to do with the actual game
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: on the field. We'll play that for Ray Charles, the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: tribute to the Sandlot. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver talked, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I already hear you groaning wherever you might be listening from,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it was about that. Yesterday. He talked from
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the summer League in Las Vegas about expansion where it
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: stands for Seattle, getting the Sonics back where it stands
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for Las Vegas. You'll hear what he said, and I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: bet you're not gonna like it. It's not that it's negative,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's that there's nothing new and the can getting kicked
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: down the road. At ten to twenty, we'll talk to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Stan Rock, former NFL offensive line in Portland area at Beaverton,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: actually Oregon native, the New Orleans Saints Hall of Famer.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask about offensive line play in the NFL
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: today from when he played in the eighties and the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: outside zone scheme in particular that John Benton has brought
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to the Seahawks and how he just simplified and revolutionize
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks offensive line by being simple. I'm going to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: talk to legendary NFL player Stan Rock about that. We're
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: also going to talk about the hard health of pro
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: football players. Up to one and three retired football players
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: die from cardiovascular disease, and that has gotten the attention
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of Stan Brock, who's gotten tests and has been proactive,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and he's in some health line and some other initiatives
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to screen and a raise awareness of cardiovascular disease, not
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: just in former football players, but for all of us.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He'll talk about that with us as well at ten twenty.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I know you've talked to him and his doctor about that, and.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: It's yes, there's a lot that you don't know that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: going on. You could be and you'll hear this on
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Seattle Voice this weekend as well, but I think you'll
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: hear more of it with us at ten twenty. The
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: things that you don't know that are going on in
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: your body, and the organization that they're working with actually
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: can predetermine that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And preventative care is self care and it is.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Healthcare save your life life.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, because a lot of people, which Stan talked about
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: but with me earlier today, was just you're doing everything right?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: What could be wrong?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not that easy, is it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: No, it is not.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Also here from our friend Steve White to the NFL network.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: He had news yesterday and what role general manager John
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Schneider and coach Mike McDonald played in the Seahawks choice
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: for new owners. You'll hear from Steve Whisch about that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Eleven thirty. Again, we're going to do the World Cup
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: pregame show like we did yesterday, the iHeart National pregame show.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I think Anderson Hurst is doing it again, is he not?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I believe he is.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure which cast of the Brad Evans
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: or Danny Jackson or who it might be with it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: They have Brad, Danny, Anders and Jackson have all been
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: working their butts off and there have been so many
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: games that we have carried and continued to carry, so
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: maybe all of them.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: One hundred plus. Then the entire tournament, there are only
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: three left. Today's semi final at noon here on ninety
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: three point three kjrs. It's going to be Argentina against
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: England for a spot in the World Cup Finals Sunday
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in the Meadowlands opposite Spain. And then there's also a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: third place match that's going to take place Saturday in Miami,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and that's where France will be headed and a loser
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of Argentina England will play France in the third place
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: game in Miami of the World Cup.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Are we going for Argentina.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going for England? What yeah?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Well, it's been since nineteen sixty six since they won
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and they have rarely gotten this close. I really like
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: how Jude Bellingham plays. I think Anthony Gordon is phenomenal
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: down the left side. I think there's history to be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: made on this team Argentina as great as they are,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and they've been there and they're defending champs and number
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: all that, there are some dark, dark stuff in the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: closets of the Argentinian Football Federation and not all of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it is just messy and glory, and there's some exploitation
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and some things that have come to light during this
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: tournament that is sad, but it's and it's not It
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: could it could happen and maybe happening all over the world.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But I read about that in Argentina. Anyway, the fans,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the history all.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Of that, Saints right, No.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying English, they're saints. They've got hooligans and yeah, sure,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but it's coming home. They've been saying that since nineteen
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: sixty six and that's a long time. So yeah, I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: rooting for the English today. As a matter of fact,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I know that's sacrilege here in the station because Anderson
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Hurst and his Argentinian family, and.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah he's adopted Argentinian, yes, but yeah, the Argentina's they
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: come from an Irish background.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So well there's a rivalry with England there exactly, yes,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but yeah, you go back to Maridona and I mean
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Argentina has been there a while. It's been a long
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: long time, sixty years for England. So yeah, I'm in
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: for England four nine, four to five. One. Who you
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: were before? You care about the World Cup? Are you've
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: done with it? You're like, okay, pack it up, let's go.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: They will pack up the grass field tomorrow night after
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Lumenfield hosts the MLS return of the Sounders after the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: World Cup break against Portland. You'll hear that match at
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: seven thirty tomorrow. Jackson Feltz will have the pregame and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: we'll have the broadcast at seven thirty Thursday tomorrow night.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Portland Timbers against the Seattle Sounders on the Lumenfield grass pitch,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and then they're going to cart it on out of there.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It's going to take a couple of weeks of transition.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: They're going to break down the wooden platform and boxes
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that were holding up the grass field over top of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the turf, and then here comes the turf and the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: first Friday in August, the Seahawks will have a fan
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: fest day and a scrimmage there on the turf and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: back to normal. And we've talked about it all week.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: The new owners, that's one place they could have an
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: immediate tangible impact if they want to spend money and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: have the Seahawks have a grass field. I don't know
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: any indications that they're going to do that. I haven't
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: talked to anybody about that since the sale approval came
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: out on Saturday, but the Coasal family. The reason why
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: teams decide between grass and turf is an owner just
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: ship decision. Does the ownership want to pay the money
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to change out grass if they have to after holding
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a concert or tractor pool or what have you. The
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: answer in Seattle has been no. So far, the Allen
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: family has said we are going to have turf. Now
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: there are people like myself who remember that stadium campaign
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: in the late nineties and there was a belief that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that was going to be a grass field put in
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: partly because of soccer, but part of that stadium campaign
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was we were going to have a grass field at Lumenfield.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And whether it's practical purposes of being able to host
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: multiple events or it's just saving on the bottom line
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and not paying the grass maintenance, there has not been
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: natural grass in the New Seahawks Stadium since it opened
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: twenty four years ago. This week is I think there's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: time for that. And there is a ground swell within
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the NFL Players Association to say wait a minute, and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the Players Association Executive director J. C. Tretdor has said
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: these very words. If you can do this for the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: World Cup, why can't we do it for the NFL players.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: They went in and went jumped, went all through hoops
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to get grass fields even in indoor stadiums in Atlanta
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and Dallas. And then it's going to go right back
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to turf now that the World Cup's gone. And some
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: players in the Players Association in the Union say wait
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a minute. It's a quality of life issue for us
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and we want to play on the grass, and the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: owners have so far many owners, not all, but many
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: owners have resisted that because the cost money, costs money
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to replace and maintain real grass over turf. Anyway. Four
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: nine your thoughts on that, Does Loomingfield need grass for
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks to play on? Yes? I know it rains.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Only players can talk about that though, Like, I don't know.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: If the players I've talked to want grass, right.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: But do fans care?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I that's a good question, because they're out running around
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: getting tackled on it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: No, they're not.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And I don't think it really does anything to the
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: viewing experience either. You know, with the consuming of the game.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You have a point there. It's not affecting us.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Up next Stan Brock, former NFL offensive line We're gonna
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: talk about offensive line play in the NFL today compared
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to when he played New Orleans Saints Hall of famer,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and about heart health in the increased risk of cardiovascular
• 12:20

  Speaker 4: different kind of techniques, right and so uh but but
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: sound techniques are sound techniques no matter what scheme that
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: you're using. So it's basically uh uh, let's see, Well,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: it's we have a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, so we have
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: five practices and so it's basically five practices of individual period,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: which if you ask any offensive or defensive line coach,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the one thing that they don't get enough of is
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: individual period.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And how has sense it does? And the techniques or
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the fundamentals are probably lost in many cases. Yeah, how
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: is football?
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: I think you can still have to step go ahead, say.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, Stan Brock, how has
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: football offensive line playing football changed since you played? And
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: what do you notice now that either wasn't there or
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: was still developing when you played?
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that one of the things that I
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: noticed is that guys are bigger, stronger, faster, whatever. However
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: you want to say that, I think their technique is
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: is not as good. I think it's poor. I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: that they're just so big that they can get in
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: the way offensive I'm talking about offensive line, and then
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: get in the way they can keep people from going
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: where they want to go. I think that the running
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: backs are are much more gifted and they can basically
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: also the offensive i'man asked to do is just kind
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: of get in the way for a few seconds and
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: the and the running back can get out where he
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: needs to be. I mean, we can talk for hours
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: about the difference of training camp, but I think that
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: the difference there has to be a happy medium somewhere.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I believe in the fact that I really think that
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: the reason that so many players at all different positions
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: are getting hurt is because they haven't gotten their bodies
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: so used to the pounding that it takes to play
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: for a full season in the National Football League. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: know when I played, we had basically six weeks of
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: two days and we played four preseason games. In the
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: preseason games were basically our days off because we work
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: so hard during the other days. I don't think that's right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that that's right, but I think that
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to to try to go out onto the field right
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: now with as a professional football player and try to
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: even like blitz pickup. To do blitz pickup, you have
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: to see that at full speed, otherwise you're going to
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: get your quarterback killed. And that's why quarterbacks are getting
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: run over and killed because the line hasn't seen anything
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: happen at full speed. And so I guess that's that's
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: those are. That's the biggest difference of that scene.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Stanbrock joining us on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. He's visiting
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: from Seattle from the Portland area. He's with Heartline and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: a health initiative on cardiovascular disease and former football players.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: He played for fifteen years in the NFL, most of
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: them with the New Orleans Saints sixteen excuse me, thank you,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: most of them with the New Orleans, New Orleans Saints.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: He was a Hall of Famer for the Saints, playing
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty to ninety two with the Saints and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: then his last three seasons with the San Diego Charge.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You mentioned training camp, sir, you did two days and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you did him outside New Orleans? Were your training camps
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: we did? Where? Where were they then? I mean were
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you doing? You were probably doing Oklahoma drills? And how
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: much time did you have to recuperate? Between practices. That
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: was it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: So when I started in New Orleans, our training camp
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: was in Vero Beach, Florida, and uh, mister Mikam owned
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: the team. Mister Mekam owned the team. Uh yeah, still
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: hot though. Uh mister mekm owned the team. Then he
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: sold the team to to Tom Benson and Tom Benson
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: then we moved our training camp to oh Man uh
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: in Central Louisiana. Uh Monroe, Monroe, Louisiana. And we were
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: up in Monroe, super hot, crazy bum Phillips was up there,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: you know, and uh it was it was just there
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: was a there was a thermometer across on a bank
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: and it would say like one hundred and four degrees,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: you know, and the humidity was so high it was crazy.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Then we went to Hammond, Louisiana, which was just about
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: an hour north of New Orleans, and that was surrounded
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: by trees. That was with Jim Mora, and I'm he
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: surprised that we didn't kill somebody there in that heat.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Guys would drop like flies when we were running gassers
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: at the end of practice and full body cramps and
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: they'd have to go, you know, I vm up so
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: that they could make the second practice, but yeah, there
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: was no advantage for us, right. We practiced outside in
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: New Orleans my whole career there, and then you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: the visiting teams would come and we got to play
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: in the in the air conditioned Superdome, So there was
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: no advantage.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: So Stan, you would practice in this stifling heat of
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the Louisiana Bayou in July and August. What time was
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: practice and when was the second one? And how much
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: time did you have between practices?
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we practiced. I think I don't know. You had
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: to be at breakfast, like at eight. We were on
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: the field. We were always on the field for two
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: or two and a half hours and then you get
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: you know, a couple hours off or you know, for
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: lunch and to get a nap. And did I was
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: losing when we were in when we were in Hammond, Louisiana,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: I was losing thirteen pounds per practice.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: And yeah, by the time the afternoon practice came around,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: you know, you're drink enough water and all that that
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: you would get the way back, but then you would
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: be back down to thirteen pounds that night.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I was losing thirteen pounds of practice.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Hit.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Wow, stan Brock listed it and I felt like that
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: was a good shape dude. And nowadays, for those of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you listening, you can't have more than five consecutive practices
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: for the collecting Barting agreement before we need a day off.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: In training camp. There are no two a days, no
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma drills. You were limited in a number of fool
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: pads practices you can have during training camps. None of
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: those limitations were when stan Bruck was there in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: New Orleans he.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: No, that sounds yeah, that sounds like our off season workout.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: As you know, the Seahawks hired long time offensive line
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: coach John Benton before last yeason. He changed the offensive
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: lines approached Danny. The Seahawks had done a little bit
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of Pope prix of everything. They were inside zone, outside zone,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they were gap scheme, they were pulling and trapping. John
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Benton comes to say, note, we're outside zone. And the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: players all told me. The offensive lineman told me that
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: was revolutionary. Abe Lucas said, instead of masters of everything,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: we just had that master one thing. And him to him,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that was the difference in them becoming a jailed unit
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and performing unit last year. From what you know of
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: outside zone. What are the tricks? What's an offensive lineman
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: need to be? How do you as you see it
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: when you watch games? How does that suit the Seahawks?
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think you know, watching their offensive
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: line and it's they're they're blessed that they you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: they have all of them coming back this year too,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: which is super cool. Yeah, outside zone is it's basically
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: it's a companion blocking. It's going to be US two
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: on two of those and wherever they wherever they fall.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Uh And and what it does is it gives the
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: running back. You know where the running back's going. So
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: if you we can break it down, like if you're
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: looking at the defensive end and the defensive end is
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: playing hard outside to the right, then by the time
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that the outside zone blocker, the right tackle and the
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: right guard, by the time they get out there, the
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: center can get somebody cut off. And that's where those
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: cutback angles are. So you kind of know it's an
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: offensive lineman where the where the running back is headed
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: and what he's looking at and the guy that he's
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: reading can't be right. So if if they play inside,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: then they're going outside. If the defense plays out, he's
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: coming back inside. So and anytime you simplify really anything
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: across the board, you shrink that playbook down and you
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: could start really you know, just getting good at what
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: you're doing. That's that's gonna help.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Always. Always. We're listening to Stanbrox, sixteen year NFL offensive lineman,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Portland Area native and New Orleans Saints Hall of famer,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: talking to us on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline on ninety
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. You went from Jesuit High School
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: to see you Boulder and then into the NFL with
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the Saints and then the Chargers, as I said, the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: last three years, and then it was you got to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: be the West Point coach. You replaced Bobby Ross after
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: he resigned former Marine officer in San Diego Chargers head
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: coach that was Army's coach for a time. How was it?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: What was the connection there that got you to West
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Point to be Armies head coach?
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Bobby Ross was our head coach when I went and
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: played in San Diego, and then he was with the
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Detroit Lions and he had offered me the offensive line
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: job in Detroit, but I had just taken the head
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: coach job for the Arena team in LA, the LA Avengers,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: and I didn't think it was proper or fair to
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: to leave that guy, the owner of that team, to
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: go to the NFL, and so I made that decision.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: And then it was just a short time later than
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: that guy from LA fired me, which was super kind
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: of him. So but then Bobby Ross called me and
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: he said that he was going to take the army
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: job and wanted me to be here the offensive line coach.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: And it's a it's a really cool story. I don't
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: know how much time you have, but I went in there.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: The hair on the back of my neck stood up
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: when I went through the gates, and I knew that's
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: where I wanted to be. And I had my wife
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: with me, and she was riding in the back of
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: the truck of the UH one of the colonels who
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: was showing us around, and she just reach over and
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: grab me, and she says, you're doing this, aren't you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I think I am, And she was super disappointed.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: But I saw I say that I took her in there.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: She was crying when I brought her in there, and
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: UH and really six years later we fell in love
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: with that place and she was she was crying even
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: harder when we left. So I loved that place. So
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: I was the offensive line coach there for for four years,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: and then Bobby Ross recommended that I take over. He
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: was going to step down, and the superintendent and athletic
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: director agreed, and and I became the head coach of
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: the United States Military Academy at West White, which I'm
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: so proud of.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: You said, the hair stood up in the back of
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: your neck. I assume you went to I assume you
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: went through thay Ergate. What was it about I did.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I'm a nineteen ninety three graduate of West Point, so
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that's why I wasn't asking you. Yeah, I understood, yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: But what was it about that coaching, that environment of
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: those players who were obviously not there to play football.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Foremost they're there to serve our country and be second lieutenants.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: But the coaching, that leadership dynamic of that being a
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: leader of football men in a leadership academy at West Point,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: what was that experience like?
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: And I think only you were going to be able
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: to understand this, but it was a little disappointing. Not
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: with the kids. The greatest people in the world are
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: the kids that go to those academies. What disappointed me
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: was the leadership of the of the institution. It's like,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: in my opinion, most of the people who were there
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: that were in leadership, they were all looking for, uh,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: to move up in rank, they were all looking for
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: a promotion. There was a lot of I I did this,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I've done that, I'm doing this and uh. In the meantime,
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: they're teaching. We and the players all understand we so
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: from the players standpoint, they are the greatest kids in
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: the world. Uh, I'm so proud of them what they've
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: done after football, what they you know, to everyone out
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: of everyone at West Point has to be do something athletic.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: No one gets to go back to their to their
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: room and study. Everyone has to do something. But the
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: time that some of the uh, you know, the the
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: some of the athletes put in there, uh and for
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: them still to graduate the United States Military Academy is
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: just phenomenal. Lu uh and yeah. And I don't think
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: that those kids ever really recognize how special they were.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: That's a humbleness that's born into you, drilled into you
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: today you get there. But thank you, sir for yeah
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: coaching Stanbrock doining US on the Beacon Plumbing Highline. He
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: recently enrolled in heart Flow's heart Flows Game Film Registry.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: It's a program that analyzes heart health of former professional athletes.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It uses AI technology, first of its kind, to help
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: predict what's coming for your heart. As you know, stand
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: up to one in three retired professional football players die
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: from cardiovascular disease. How'd you get involved with heartflow? What
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: have you learned? And what would you like people to
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: know about this?
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: A lot? Jim Kovac was a linebacker for US. He
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: was out of Kentucky. He played with the Saints, And
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: so Jim Kovac was a doctor we call uh and
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: he he actually got his whatever degree when he was
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: there playing for the Saints and then he became a lawyer.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: But he called me and he said that he was
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: involved with heartflow, and and so he kind of explained
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: to me what for heartflow was. I went to their website,
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: and the website is heartflow dot com slash football if
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: anybody wants to look it up. It's a really interesting,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: uh thing. And so I started kind of looking at
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: it and uh and what the heartflow does is actually
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: what they're looking at is they're taking a three D
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: picture of your heart and all the arteries in the
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: and all everything that's going in, all your plumbing basically
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: for your heart. And because you don't know, there's no
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: signs that you have heart disease, there's no you know, basically,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: you you know you have a heart attack. And that's
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: when they find it. They they check your cholesterol and
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: say you're cholesterol is high, but they don't really know
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: what's going on, and started you're inside of your heart.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: You can have high blood pressure, but they still don't
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: know really what's going on inside of the heart. But
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: the heart flow they actually, like I laid down in
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: a cat scan and they they took a cat scan
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: off my heart and they were able to then show
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: it to me on a three D screen and move
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: it around and show me, you know, all of my
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: arteries and everything that was coming and what the flow
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: was like coming in and out of my heart. So
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: it was something. The question that doctor asked me is
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: doctor chang Over at Cardio now here in Seattle. I
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: came up here for it, and he asked me, do
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: you think you have heart disease? And I said, no,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think I do. And then after he showed
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: me everything and showed me this three d He asked
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: me the same question. I said, yeah, I think I do,
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: because there was a lot of plaque built up in there.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: And so now I'm going through some stages.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I have another appointment with him this next weekend. I'm
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: working very hard to get that all cleared up. I have,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: you know, four daughters and twelve grandchildren, and I want
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: to see those grandkids, right. I want to I got
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: high school age grandkids now. I love watching them play sports,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: and the younger ones playing sports, and I want to
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: see them get married and have kids.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Right. And so.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: You know, you can compare it to a lot of things.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: You can compare it to you know, CTE whatever. Fifteen
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: years ago, nobody knew anything about CTE, right, and now
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, those studies, all the studies are
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: out there. And I think that the same is true
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: for the heart disease. And I think this is something that's
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: that's you know, groundbreaking, and if we can get get
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: this out there to more people, not just you know,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: you don't have to be an athlete, athletes, doesn't matter.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: There's Doctor Chang told us this morning that more people
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: will die of heart, of heart disease than they will
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: of cancer. And so, uh, this is a great opportunity
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: to do this. And so if I can help get
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: the word out not only to some of my fellow players,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: but to the general public, that's that's my goal.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: That's doctor Eugene Chang he's talking about now in Seattle
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: based cardiologists. And that's what Stan Brock he's up here
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: seeing as well. It's heartflow dot com all one with
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: heartflow dot com. If you want more information on the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: systems and analysis and three D damaging.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: That slash slash football, Greg if you will's heartflow dot
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: com and then you slash football on it. It's it's
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: even better because that old football stuffy.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, thank you for that. Let me ask you
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: before I let you go. You mentioned CTE. There are
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: studies all over about neurodegenerative diseases being higher in football
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: players than the regular population. There are stuff out this
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: week from christ Now Whiskey in the Boston area and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the Concussion Institute there in the CTE Institute that ALS
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: is forty two times more prevalent in former football players
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: than in the general population. You mentioned the cardiovascular risk
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: does it concern you, does it the long term quality
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: of life? Not just you you're in your now sixties,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: but those that are come after you and former players?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Is that a particular concern of yours? And how how
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: do you deal with that in the science that is
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: coming out well after you play.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: I yes, it's a concern. I'm very concerned. I have
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: some friends, teammates that uh and old coach too. You
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: know that that you know they're they're cognitive. It's not
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: very it's not very good. You know, they're they're short
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: term memory and things like that. They're just not very good.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I feel very fortunate and blessed. I think I'm okay.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sixty eight years old, and I would think that,
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: you know, when I have gone through some of the
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: NFL testing that you know, I think cognitively I'm the
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: I'm like most sixty eight year old people. Sometimes I
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: forget what I'm why I came in the kitchen or
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: you know, But I think that's kind of natural. But
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: I am like I have. I have teammates and coaches
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: and guys who I know. I see them. They have it.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: They they have it. And there's some kids that played
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: for me in arena football that that you know, the
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: symptoms of their attitudes and stuff like that. It's just like,
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: you know, I think you have it, so you know,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: it is there. Is it preventable? I don't know. I
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: know that I feel very blessed that it's not affecting me,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: But I do worry about you know, the other the others.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: But I don't I don't know that that football is
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: the you know, it's not football, right, I think it's sports.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: I watch my my grandkids play soccer. Man, they those
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: balls that hit them in the head. So that's that's
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: got to be rocking that thing around a little bit too,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: you know. So I don't know. Yeah, I worry about it,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: of course I worry about it. And uh and I
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: think that uh, you know, it's it's it's like the
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: heart stuff. Now that that I'm talking about is that
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: at least people are out there trying to help each
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: other out with it.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Stan Brock, I appreciate you. Thank you for your messaging.

  Speaker 1: seven days after that, July twenty fourth, the team headquarters,

  Speaker 1: practice on July twenty fifth. We all know the Seahawks ownership.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: The sale agreement on Saturday nine point six billion with
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: a B dollars, the second highest franchise sale in North
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: American sports history, carrying only the ten billion dollars to
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: the Lakers and is going to the Kosla family Venode
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Nehru and their son Neil Kosla from the Bay Area
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: AI and Sun Microsystems fame. Steve White's great friend of
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: ours NFL network. He has some insight in eight comments
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: yesterday about what Mike McDonald, the coach and general manager
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: John Schneider's role in choosing these new owners may have been.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: In Seattle, the estate of Paul g Allen announcing today, Yes,
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: the sale has been official.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: This has been in the works for some time. As
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: we say hello to our own Steve why showing us
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: now in the newsroom.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: We've had a few talks this offseason about changes for
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: the Super Bowl champions. This is as big of a
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: change you can get, so it's at the top.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is a big of a change. We knew
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: the ownership change was going to come down, and now
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: we see that Vinad and Niukosla part owners in the
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: forty nine ers have been selected to become the lead
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: owners for the Seattle Seahawks. They've got to get approved
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: by the majority of the NFL ownership. We know that
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: meeting is supposed to take place sometime before the start
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: of the season, probably in late August, and usually once
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: we get to this point, those ownership groups, once they've
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: been vetted by all the other owners it's a mere
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: formality when it comes down to that date. Well, let's
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: talk about how this in the meantime, how this goes about.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Operationally for the Seahawks.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: Typically when this happens, they're still able to get deals done, right,
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: they want to get the Devin Wetherspoon contract done.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: That's something they could still get done.
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: We know head coach Mike McDonald John Schneider, they both
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: have signed contract extensions. Well, Mike McDonald will he signed
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: signed a six year contract two years ago. John Sneider
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: signed a five year extension a couple of years ago
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: that takes him through twenty thirty one. They're still going
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: to be around. In fact, Mike, I know that they
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: were part of the process in interviewing, so to speak,
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: some of the ownership groups when they came through the
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Seahawks facility in the mini camp era of the summer.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: So they were feeling out the ownership groups. The ownship
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: groups are feeling out them. But the leadership of the
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: Seahawks is very well in place and that include some
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: of the player transactions that we're expecting.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: Back in twenty twenty two, the Broncos are purchased for
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: four point sixty five billion.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: What a bargain.
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I do think that this number was elevated
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: by the Lakers purchase, which was ten billion, and it
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: was like, whoa wait a minute, where did that number
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: come from? Because at the time NFL teams had been
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: what four to six billion?
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, even the.
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: Commanders now looks like a great bargain as well.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: Pretty incredible.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: You know why you and I should have been in
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: on some of these purchases. We could have stretched a
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: couple of nickels together here. But you did talk about
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: you said a couple of things one selected two that
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: the koslav family went through the facility, talked to the
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: principles involved with in communication with the league. In fact,
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: the memo that we the Insiders obtained the other day
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: during the sale process, during the announcement of the sale
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: process said the estate of Paul Allen agreed to sell
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: the Sea arcs of the Cola family and several limited partners.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: They reported very.
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: Robust interest in the club throughout the process with the
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: Colost group emerging as the club preferred buyer among multiple,
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: multiple qualified bidders. So as much as I'm talking about
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: the money here, that.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Was Mike gar Foule at the end, and he made
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: it It's funny. He made it sound like he had
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: proprietary information. We all got the we all got the
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: NFL memo to all thirty one other team. But this
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: point was that there are other bidders and we know
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: that too. But Steve Wich's point, what wanted you to
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: hear was that Mike McDonald the coach and general manager
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: John Schnyder were involved. And you heard Mike Garfola say
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: that the Cosla family of Veno Cosla, and he pronounces
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a Cosla. I've heard on podcasts that Venota has been
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: on that he says costless. Yes, that's why I'm anouncing
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: it that way with long.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: When we meet them, we can, yeah, we can ask
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: them that. I always liked that clarification.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: But they said, they said, you heard him say. Well,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: they toured the facility in retrospect that day that there
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: were about nineteen SUVs and escalades at the front of
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the building during mini camp. It was the second of
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the three days of the mini camp and they were
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: trying to tell us at all it was advertising meetings,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and we knew that it was one of the potential
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: owners and it may have been them, but it was
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: one of the potential ownership groups that came through during
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: the mini camp to see the operation as it was
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: happening football wise on the field.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: And there was also rumors because Zuckerberg's yacht was right here.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying it was.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Rumors, but but yeah, we saw a phelanx of Amada
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: of a black SUVs and a bunch of dudes in
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: suits and earpieces walking around looking important, trying to keep
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: us all in the media room like kids in a
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: kindergarten room. It was. It was pretty funny.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Actually, did you get Matt's in lunchtime?
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Cartonum chocolate milk and go sit down. Yeah, that was
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: how I was. But yeah, Steve White's saying that John
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Schneider and Mike McDonald were vetting the ownership groups as well,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: and that makes sense that they were able to first
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: hand see how they were going to work with now
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: their new bosses, their new owners. Of course, Mike McDonald
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: not directly involved as much as John Schneider will be
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: John Schneider will be the point man for the new
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: ownership group for the football side of it. Although Mike
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: McDonald said that Jody Allen would have weekly meetings with
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: him after games a day after games and would talk
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: to him about the games. We wonder if that will continue.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: One of the many, many unknowns that we have is
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: how involved these new owners will be in the football
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: side of it. And you pay nine point six billion dollars,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you're going to change something. But again, they would be
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: unwise to change anything in the football of a Super
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Bowl champions team. Up next on kJ R Adam Silver.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: He's becoming a bad name around here for every time
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: he talks nothing happen. He talked yesterday in Las Vegas
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: about where the process is with the NBA and the
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: expansion of teams to Las Vegas and to Seattle. You'll
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: hear from Adam Silver. Next, we'll read back your text
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: if you have any talkbacks in the talkback Live red
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: button will play those back. And then at eleven thirty
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: the World Cup pregame show leading into Argentina and England.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: All of it right here on ninety three point three
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: KJRFM Welcome back to an abbreviated portion of the Greg
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Bell Show with Jessman McIntyre. We are awaiting the World
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Cup pregame at eleven thirty the iHeart National Radio pregame show,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: and then that lead right to twelve noon kickoff from Atlanta,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: England against Argentina in the World Cup Semifinal. The winner
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: will play Spain in the World Cup Final on Sunday.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: In the middle, all World Cup matches from here on
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: out live on ninety three point three KJRFM, including the
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: third place match between France, who lost to Spain yesterday,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: and the loser of today's Argentina England match. That third
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: place match will be in Miami on Saturday here on
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJR. Yesterday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: spoke in Las Vegas during the league's summer league for
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: younger players. There was time that we thought that might
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: be the place that they voted on expansion, but that
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: was not the case. There were no votes yesterday, there
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: were no votes this week in league meetings down there
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. There have been multiple reports that Las
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Vegas has as many as four competing bids, some playing
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: in the t Mobile Arena, that the Golden Knights play in,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: one of the bids being from the Golden Knights owner
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: that is also a West Point graduate, but that there
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: is a crowded field it appears forming there not so
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: in Seattle, we've only heard of the One roof Sports
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Entertainment throwing their hat in the ring with Samantha Halloway
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: and gaining Melinda French Gates as a co investor in
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: One roof Sports Entertainment, the owner of the Kraken now
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the owner of Climate Pledge Arena, the owner of the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: arena that exists that was ready for an NBA team
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: that has built NBA specifications, but not words of multiple
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: bids in Seattle or multiple bidders that would drive up
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the price.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver had comments about that yesterday.
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: Most of the groups that are interested have not been public,
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: and that's any group that's chosen to be public is
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: their decision. And so I wouldn't conclude that because there
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: isn't other public there aren't other public groups coming forward
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: that therefore there isn't other interest In Seattle, there is,
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: and I would also say same in Las Vegas. Some
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: groups have been public. The majority of groups have not
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: been public, so stop there on that portion. In terms
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: of the process. Over the last two days, there were
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: discussions both the committee level and before the board from
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: Paul Taubman, our outside banker, about how the process is going,
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: what he's hearing from the groups. As I said earlier,
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: it's you know, price is one component, but I think
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: there was as much interest as in who the groups
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: would be, what the overall composition of ownership, and of
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: course where they would play. And I'm still hopeful again
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: that this process would be wrapped up by year end,
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: and I feel we're very much on track.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: That's NBA Commissioner Adam Silver yesterday in Las Vegas from
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the NBA Summer League. So what's the news there. One
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: is that they're talking to the league's banker that's going
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: to assess these ownership groups for the two new expansion
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: teams in Las Vegas and Seattle.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Two.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: It's gone from we're going to have it done by
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the It seems to me it's gone from we're gonna
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: have it done by the end of the year to.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: This year, next year, next year.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Adam Silver saying I am hopeful it'll
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: be done by year end, and he also said there
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: are multiple bidders we haven't heard about in Seattle. Now.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: It is in the league's best interest for the perception
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: to be that, so there can be bidders that join
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: and drive up the price. If you have one bidder,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: you're not going to have a higher price as you
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: do as two or three. We just saw that with
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Let's the Seahawks had three bidders settled on
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: at final.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Two finalists, and those are the ones we know.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: And those are the ones we know of, and then
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: we drove up the price to the point of nine
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: point six billion dollars. So multiple bidders is a good
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: thing for the league and then all the league's owners
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: and all the team valuations. So of course he wants
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: us to think, and I'm not saying there aren't, but
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: have we not reached the point here in Seattle of
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: looking at Adam Silver and going can we believe what
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: you're saying? I mean, can we get on with this already?
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: You're talking about kicking the can down the road. Either
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: you're expanding or not. The last time the NBA expanded
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: to get Charlotte Backett's team at had lost not quite
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: the same situation as Seattle, but similar. That was a
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: two year ramp up of the time they awarded the
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: expansion franchise to Charlotte twenty two years ago. I think
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: now two years from the time they award the franchise
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: till they began playing ball in the air in Charlotte.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: That was with a new arena being built downtown. In
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: all of it, we already had the new arena here
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. We already have an investment group here in Seattle.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: We already have a arena that was remodeled and redone
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: two NBA specifications by the Oakview Group. What do we
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: wait not? Let's go. I mean, this has been on
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: long enough, and this fall October would be two years
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: run up to a start of an NBA return to
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Seattle year's end. Any months past October will be shortening
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: that two year run up. Let's go. I mean, I
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: think it's not hard to speak for the Seattle sports
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: fan and the Seattle basketball fan here about this. Yeah,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: every time Adam Silver's name comes up, it's like wake
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: me up when the team is here. And there are
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: some people here in Seattle, in the Pacific Northwest who
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: won't believe the Sonics are returning until the ball has
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Actually we'd gone in the air for the opening tip
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: off in October twenty twenty.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Eight, And now I'm with them.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: You and I lived here through that in two thousand
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: and eight.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: I came here right after I covered that.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Trial at the Federal Courthouse down on Eighth and Olive.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: I moved out here in two thousand and nine.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, that was a they were going to win
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: that trial. Yes, they were going to stay in Seattle,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: and the thought was that that would buy the time
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: for the two years remaining on the lease to find
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: a Seattle buyer. But the city took a check from
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Clay Bennett in a one time payment to get out
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: of the lease and move him to Oklahoma. That's what
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: happened for those of you who just might have joined
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: and moved to Seattle since then. But they were going
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: to win that case, and had they won that case,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: there are many people here in the Northwest who still
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: believed we would have found a local owner to keep
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: them here.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it only forty million dollars forty.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Five million dollars, which is pittance these days for franchise valuations.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: But the city in the mayor's office wanted to check
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: to cover the debt of Seattle Center, and that check
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: paid off the debt. What a short sighted decision that was, obviously.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: But let's go back to Howard Schultz selling get to
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Clayton Benefoah, yeah, there was that. That was the whole deal,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: that little guy. And let's go back to Howard Schultz
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: parading NBA Commissioner David Stern down to Olympia and Frank
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Chop and everybody lip is saying, get the hell out
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: of here. You're not getting any public money from us.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: You guys are billionaires. And David Stern got pissed and said, okay,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I'll show you Seattle. I'll move your team to Oklahoma.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: He definitely had something. There was a grudge. There was
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: a grudge anyway.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I get why people say let's not hear from Adam
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Silver until the ball is in the air. But I
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: just want to bring you the latest on what he
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: had to say. Four nine, four to five one on
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: the Koma doadge text line. Your thoughts on this, I
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: have a feelure I hope they are poor. Your thoughts
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: on the Seattle new ownership group of the Seahawks and
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: putting grass and lum and field. That's the subject we
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: brought up earlier.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: One that more people than I would have perceived are
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: actually interestition.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Because Jessman's point's a good one. Does this really affect us?
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: We're not playing on it or I get tackled on it.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: But people do care, they do, they do actually. Two
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: five three says grass, grass, grass, with four exclamation points
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: in all capital letters. Lifelong baseball fan, nothing better.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love that baseball could ever be terf
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: We know.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: That well, yes, though it is in some cities.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it in my mind it can never. But yeah,
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: And then another two five sory saying that players want
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: grass for safety issues. That makes a ton of sense,
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: but from a fan perspective, is the question you asked?
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's from our friend. Two five three says players
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: want grass and it's a safety issue. It should be
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: addressed over profit. Deah four two five I've been landscaping
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: for thirty five I've been in landscaping for thirty one years.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Look out the window in December, what does your grass
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: look like? It would be extremely difficult, Yes, it would
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: be but not impossible. They have grass in Chicago, they
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: have grass in Cleveland. They have grass in Cincinnati and
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Those cities are even colder and worse
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: in the winter than this place. We're talking fruit, snow, ice, mud, rain,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: not much sun. And they have grass why because their
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: owners pay for it. Their owners put in new grass
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: fields during the season. Yeah, I don't. I look out
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: of my backyard in December and it's brown. But I'm
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: not going to hire somebody to go put a whole
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: new grass in December. That's what the NFL teams do.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we're not the NFL exactly.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: That's my point, yeah, is that they have the money
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: to do it. Billionaires are billionaires and state billionaires by
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: keeping their billions, And that is in a nutshell, why
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: teams don't have grass fields. They could Mark Davis or
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the Raiders has it in an indoor of building in
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Las vent in the middle of the freaking desert. To
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: paraphrase Ocean's eleven Elliott Gould do it in a desert.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: They do it indoors in Atlanta and Dallas for the
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: World Cup. They could do it in Seattle. It wouldn't
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: be easy, it would be expensive. It would take out
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: of some of the bottom line of the new owners.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: But again, if you want to have an immediate impact
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: and change, you could, as new owners decide we're going
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: to pay that money and put in grass. The NFL
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Players Association has been yelling about this all summer about
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: how how all these NFL stadiums suddenly have grass for
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: the World Cup, yet can have grass for our players
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: to play on.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Well, the World Cup is the one time event.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Right, But the point is it's physically.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Possible to It's physically possible, and it.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Costs money, and those cities paid for that money, and
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: FIFA demanded it, and so it was. The NFL has
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: not demanded it. And my point is, if they really
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: want to make it an issue of player safety for
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the union, go to the collective bargaining table and do
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: it and say we're not signing this new CBA until
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: we get grass fields on all cities, all places. They
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: could do it indoors, they do it. They do it
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: in a Vegas.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: They do They figure it out if we want to
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: change subjects. There are a couple reactions four to two five.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing Adam Silver either doesn't have votes for expansion
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: or the Vegas expansion is holding this whole thing up,
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: which is also an opinion I agree with.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's Vegas not us.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: And talked about that last week.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's one hundred thanks, that's but for now, I'll
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: root for the Seahawks, Mariners, Cracking, and Sounders. I'll enjoy
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: what I have and not worry about what I don't.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Wake me when the announcement is official, he says, She
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: says the four. That's pretty much. Yeah, I hear you. Yeah,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Fortune five. Yeah, I love billionaires lecturing us on climate
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: chains while riding around in mega yacht's, private jets and
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: fleets of bohemoth SUVs with tinted windows.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a thing. That is the thing that you
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: have every right to say. Two oh six, same ish,
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: different day on the NBA. Good riddance, the second biggest
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: popping league in the world. Still haven't bought a Starbucks coffee?
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: Why would you spend ten dollars on a cup of joe?
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: It's Seattle football, crack and hockey, and M's baseball until
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: training camp opens.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Hashtag Gohawks there.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people anecdotally in this town
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: who still will not buy Starbucks because of what Howard Schultez.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: I think one of our biggest people personality wise in
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: this building is one of them.
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: M hm.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: I actually get scared when I go get myself a
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: cup of Joe with that logo on it, so I
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: have to pour it in my own canister before I
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: walk in.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: Four.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Two five says in and of itself, I don't care
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: about grass or no grass, but I do care about
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the players injuries, So if grass is
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: better for them, then we should have grass.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that's the best take, the best take.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: The NFL tries to come out and say that there
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: are no increased risks for injury on turfin on grass.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: They have statistics that say that. The players union have
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: statistics that shut that the players' bodies will tell them.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: It is much much better to recover from games after
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: having played on grass than on turf. That's a bona
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: fide fact. And I talk to players all the time
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: about that grass. Please. Two six says, I love bad
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: weather games on grass. When the uniforms get somebody, you
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: can't read the numbers anymore. It's closer to the kind
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: of game as we played with kids in the park. True,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: it is exactly the opposite the kind of game the
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: NFL is pushed for, with passing and points and protecting
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks and all of that. It's not that when it's
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: a quagmire and the muddy field. I grew up playing
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: on grass. I played on mud and Ohio And yeah,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: you want.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: To hear a funny fun fact.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: I found out after playing soccer and running around and
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: everything rolling down hills when I was little. I found
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: out when I was in my twenties that I was
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: allergic to grass. And I just thought that I was itchy.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: Just fight through it, surge for less than as a kid. Yeah,
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: three different kinds too. It was not just a geographical thing.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Two six says yes to real grass and all caps.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: I can't believe football players have to play on some
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: combination of concrete, plastic and rubber. Brutal, stupid and every
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: owner is a billionaire. Number two. The World Cup I
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: very much enjoyed, other than the flopping and drawing of penalties,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: rooting for Spain versus England in the final. Now that
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: all the underdogs are gone, Argentina MESSI no way, I
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: can't stand. I'm sick of the messy hype. You're my
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: favorite show on kJ R. Thank you appreciate that.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yay, we have a favorite.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Knowledgeable, real and humble.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Thanks well, that actually describes you to I don't know.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Some people have other opinions about that.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Begin everyone has an opinion, just like but.
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: Question for you Greg and Jesseman, what is the outlook
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: for Army football this year?
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: My dad was Army and I follow Army now that he.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Has passed, are you going to do a college football segment?
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Since it's around.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: The corner we are. That's our US coast Guard and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: odab buddy, thank you for that. Army's got their quarterback
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: coming back, Kale Homes. They've got about I think it's
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: nine or ten experienced starters, about half their starts, eleven
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: of the twenty two. In these days, that's pretty good.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: Because of transfer portals. Now we know that the Service
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: academies transfer portals are a different deal. It is damn
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: near impossible to leave the service academy and once you
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: sit for your first academic class of your junior year,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: after that time you owe service time back to the Army.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: If you leave West Point. They actually the first academic
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: day of the junior year adjument. We all sit in
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: the mess hall for lunch, and we've already sat for
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: our classes, and the seniors raise a glass of lemonade
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: or water and say welcome to the Army, to the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: junior class because they're now committed to serving.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Because they're committed.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, but you can lead before your first class of
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: your first academic day of your junior year. And that's
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: when some Army players have left, and some by il
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: and transferport and now the Army, Navy, Air Force are
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: not in the business generally of bringing in transfers from
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: other schools because you have to start back on day
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: one of Plebe year. You can't come in as a
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: fifty year senior from Georgia and play for Army. They're
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: going to put you back at the front of the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: back of the line with the Plebes and start the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: four year, four class system, and you'd be ended up.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: That's just not going to happen. There's no blue chip
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: player that's going to transfer into a service academy and
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: start over as a freshman, especially not getting yelled at
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: and be sparicks. So no thanks for the question. Armies.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: They're in the American Association, the American Athletic Conference, I
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: should say Memphis and South Florida. A good friend of mine,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: doctor Ed Scott, the athletic director at Memphis, already talking
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: about they're going to be Army this year and all that.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll be at Army Navy in the on
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: the second Saturday of December. In the second Friday of December,
• 1:01:54
