  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KKRFM
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Sports Headlines.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Headlines are brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light Cold
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: as the Rockies. Cracking open the season last night in Calgary,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: just like the offensive juggernauts we knew they could be.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: 6-1 win for the boys. Three points for Vince Dunn.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Three points for Jared McCann. 24 saves by Joey DeCourt.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: 11 different guys had a point. Next up, might be
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit more difficult. They play Edmonton tomorrow. They've
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: got good hockey players. McDavid, Dreisaitl, and others.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, decent.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: 4 o'clock, 3.30 pregame, 4 o'clock drop of the puck
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: over on 9.50 on the AM dial. Home opener is Sunday,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: 5 p.m., Climate Pledge Arena, 93.3 KGRFM. Week four in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the NFL got it away last night. Nail-biter in Cleveland.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: In the end, though, the dog pound came through. They
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: got myself a fact or fiction win. Cleveland, plus two
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and a half.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Fact.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: They didn't even need it. They win outright. That's right.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: 27-24 over the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers. Did you watch
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: any of that?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I got back last night from hockey, and I'm wide awake. Usually,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I can't just fall asleep, so I started shuttling through
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and watching it on the old Amazon. The one time
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: when the microphones caught Aaron Rodgers MFing Mike McCarthy for
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: not getting the play in.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: And then McCarthy's response?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: He's just kind of laughing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: No, he goes F-ing A.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Well, because he was laughing at one point with Mason Rudolph, too,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: on the sideline. But I think it was just because, like,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I bet Mason Rudolph goes, that's Aaron just being a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: red ass, whatever. Probably. Eh, they lost. That's fine. Jayden
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Daniels has been ruled out this week, so Marcus Mariotti starts.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Also getting ruled out, Devontae Smith for Philadelphia Eagles, if
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you have him in fantasy. You should know that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Good to know.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Tony Romo not coming back as NFL analyst for CBS.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Divisional rounds start tomorrow for MLB playoffs. White Sox-Cleveland. Atlanta Dodgers,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yankees Tampa, San Diego Milwaukee. Don't forget again the Huskies
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: tomorrow taking on the Trojans of USC. I will not
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: be cheering for USC this week. That's a 4.30 kickoff.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: That's a 12.30 pregame show right here in your home
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for the Huskies.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: 93.3 KGFM.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Today is what you call a Washington State Beef Commission
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Football Friday. Football Friday is brought to you by Washington
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Beef Farmers and Ranchers Beef. It's what's for dinner, including
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a taco time $ 5 taco.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, beef.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Beef.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Beef. Beef.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: What's for dinner?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Beef tacos.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Beef tacos are fantastic. Beef burritos, fantastic. Beef fajitas. Beef fajitas.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Let's go. Beef. Beef. Beef.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: We had steak and potatoes last night.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, gosh.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. And it was this new recipe that
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Mark found. I could have eaten the entire thing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It was that good. We do steak and potatoes a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: lot of times on a Sunday. Yeah. That or a little,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: once the weather kind of cools off, a little more
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Sunday sauce action sometimes. All day sauce, just all day
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: cooking that bad boy. Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: This was like a one pot beef potato, like garlic butter.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. It was just heaven. Now I'm thinking
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: If I wasn't so stuffed from a $ 5 taco time tacos,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I'd probably be thinking that sounds even better than it does,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: but it still sounds good.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Sounds good.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. All right. Um, The story of the day,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: if you're just joining us here, I want to reset
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: this in the 1 o'clock hour because I think it's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: worth resetting. The Seahawks' new owner, it's a family because
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: it's a family ownership, right? But Vinod Khosla did an
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: interview with something called Axios. Now, I asked Greg because
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I'll trust his acumen on Axios, and apparently it's legitimate,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: whatever this thing is. I think it might be a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: business newsletter or something, but he did this interview, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: among the things he talked about was the Seahawks and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: their long-term. He was asked if he would make a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: commitment to keeping the team in Seattle long-term. His quote
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: is as follows. Again, the question is, will you keep
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks in Seattle long-term? Quote, I will never say never.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Quote continues, will this team be in Seattle 500 years
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: from now? Question mark. But I have no current plans
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to change anything about the team, including the coach, president, operation,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: or Lumen Field. It all functions well. So, on the surface,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: if he just said the second part out loud, that
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: would be fantastic.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Great answer. Perfect answer.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: The first one, two, three, four, five words. Those five words,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I just... They're so– I'm going to say just– I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: use other words. How about this? They're just naive. They're naive.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Nobody expects you to understand our market. You don't live here,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and you only purchased a big entity here. You're not
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: part of the community yet. It doesn't mean you won't be.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It feels like Neil, his son, is going to be
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a lot more involved. That guy's tweeting stuff about AI
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and stuff all the time. I'm kind of like– But,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: but he, he, so he says all the right things.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And when he says coach and president, I assume that Schneider,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: he didn't say, I hope it's also Chuck Arnold. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: think Chuck does a phenomenal job. I think the whole
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: staff does a great job over there. I think they're
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the gold standard in this town. And it's not just
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: because of the NFL and the Seahawks. There's a lot
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of poorly run NFL teams. But coach, president, operation of
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Lumen Field. So I guess that, you know, operation or
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Lumen Field. So I guess that includes Chuck and everything.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: It's good. You shouldn't change anything. There's no reason to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: change anything.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: You bought a successful organization coming off a championship.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You bought a team that's winning on the field and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: winning off the field. Yes. But when you say, I
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: will never say never, in this city, the— Troubles we
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: had with the Mariners in the late 80s, early 90s.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The troubles we had with them. Really, before Nintendo bought this. Listen,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I know that we are all on this bandwagon and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: for good reason to take shots at current ownership for
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the Mariners. I completely understand that. I'm always hesitant to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: ever go all in on that for this reason. We've
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: had worse owners for the Mariners. We had a really
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: bad owner. Actually, two. I don't think Smullyan was very
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: good either. But he started sports radio, so we kind
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of all owe him something, I guess. He started WFAN,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the first ever sports radio station. But we've had battles.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: We had a guy that wanted to move the team.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks tried to move with Ken Berry. And then, obviously,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the Sonics did. So when you're the guy that says,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I will never say never, that's just not an intelligent
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: thing to say. It's a naive thing to say.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Especially not here.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And you're a really smart guy. You've got more smarts
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: in your pinky than most of us have in our brain.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But just you cannot say that. Because, I mean, I'd
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: be interested if, like, at some point, is he– who
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: raised the flag for the first game?
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Was it Sherman?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: It was Sherman.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: That's right. It was Sherman.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't Jody. Like, if that family goes up
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: there to raise the flag and this becomes a bigger deal, like,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: he's not going to be greeted very warmly.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Mm-mm.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: No, and so far, you've said all the right things.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: You've done all the right things. You've praised the organization.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: He's had a couple missteps, though, right?
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Well, people were bothered that he said he grew up
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: a Steelers fan. Right.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: But I don't care about that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Ash, we're on the same page.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I thought... I mean, I grew up a fan of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of other teams before... I grew up an
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: A's fan.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Before the Mariners came here. I grew up a Canucks
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: fan my entire life before we had the Kraken here.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So I... I get that part of it, but in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the public eye, there was a lot of people that
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: didn't like it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: So you can get past that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Right. Yes.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Easily.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: This one, you got to come back out and you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: got to make it right.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: You got to come back and make it right.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: You have to, because you, again, you have to say,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: you know what? I, I wasn't meaning it in any
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: way that I'm considering moving this team. I should have
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: thought about where I am and the past and Seattle
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: sports history and recognize that by being flippant like that
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: and saying, never say never, That wasn't me saying I
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: would consider it or am considering it or anything. It
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: was a flippant comment and I should have been more
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: careful given the city that I'm in.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I just, and that's, it's that simple to be honest
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: with you, Ash. It's that damn simple. Like just, this
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: is a really simple, this is a simple fix. You
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: sit down with John Boyle from CX.com and here's what
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: we need to say. Say it, print it at CX.com.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Everyone will pick it up and away you go.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: That's just, it's a simple fix, but it's just, You know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it's been an interesting couple of days in social media
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and in the media. We live in a world now
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: where everything, you know, you say something, you tweet something,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: what have you, it can be used against you pretty quickly. Yep.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: And sometimes rightfully so. Sometimes we go over the top.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is going over the top. I
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: think this is just something he, and there's no indications
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: are going to move. And one thing I did point
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: out earlier, and I think this is a really important part.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It would really, really, really be hard to, For this
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: team to move in the current climate of the NFL,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: where would you go? What stadium are you going to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: go to? Basketball arenas are one thing. Football stadiums are another.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, what did the Bills Stadium cost? Do you remember?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, but that is.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Hang on.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. Highmark Stadium. We have a
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: thing called AI now. Yeah, I love this.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: It'll tell you right away. One of the few things
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: it's good for.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: $ 2.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: 1 billion.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that all? $ 2. 1 billion. So, yeah, where would
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you go? Because you have to build a new stadium
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: at 2.1. But now he's got the money, I guess,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: so maybe it doesn't matter to him. But, yeah, can
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: we not just– let us just, as a Seahawks fan–
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Seahawks fans need to worry about one thing. Two things.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Julian Love, Jadarian Price.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And Jadarian Price had multiple things. Is he going to
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: fumble again, and is he healthy?
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Julian Love sounds like he's going to play, but you
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: put that in there. That's all Seahawks fans should need
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to worry about. Justin Herbert, is he going to decide
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to be good this weekend? Worry about that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Worry about that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we shouldn't. And honestly, people should not be worried
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: that he's trying to move the team. It's definitely not
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: happening anytime in the near future.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's just a blunder.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: It's just a blunder. Yeah, it's just a thing that,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and I think that's a good word for it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Blunder.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he misspoke. He shouldn't have said it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I think he is being told right now, man, you.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't have said that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: You know, all those years people were pissed because we
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: never heard from Paul and Jody. It's probably a good thing.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: They're going to be like, maybe we do less interviews.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: You know what's going on right now at T-Mobile Park?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: We're never putting John Stanton in front of a microphone
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: or a camera again.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Unless it's completely sanitized, which is what they did.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: It was set up for his success.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Right. Yeah, 100%.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And I mentioned this in the first segment, so I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: don't want to be hypocritical. I think those types of things,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I get why they do it. Very safe haven. That's why, like,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: for Coastal, he needs to have a PR person around him.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's new here. That's the thing, too.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, as any sports owner, when
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you're asked if you're—lie.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just lie.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: You don't need to throw out never say never. Just
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: say no.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Just don't even answer it. Just ask another question. Why
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: would I consider moving the team?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Remember the stress?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: That's it. You nailed it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The stress earlier was like, oh, God, is he going
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: to move? Are they going to build a stadium in
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Auburn or something? It's going to be hard to get to?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that will pale in comparison to this. It's going
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Really hard to get to Nebraska.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Welcome in the Lincoln Seahawks taking on the San Francisco 49ers.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: What a game we've got today. 10 o'clock kickoff. All right,

• 11:57
  Speaker 2: try to find something to have a conversation about with
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Danny O'Neill. Hey, buddy, how are you?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I'm good. How are you doing, Ian?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what? I'm doing better than a lot
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: of people in this world. I can tell you that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: If I'm doing better than an ill-fated Portland Trailblazer TV broadcaster...
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Probably doing better.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Let me just make a public service announcement.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: To any person who's out there who had a social

  Speaker 4: media account when they were a teenager, nuke that thing
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: the minute you go to take an actual job. There
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: is nothing on there that can do anything but hurt you.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Blow that thing up, explode it. There is absolutely no reason.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: And this isn't about excusing or minimizing anything that that, uh,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: young man, that, that individual said as a young man,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: it's just about, it can do nothing for you. Uh,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: so get rid of your social media accounts. Uh, once
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: you become an adult, I start over.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's, it's probably a very, that's wise, wise, wise
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: advice along the way. I, And you don't need to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: tweet or post everything that goes through your mind. You
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: really don't. I mean, it's probably okay if you just don't. Yeah.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: That's where we're different, though, because, I mean, we're old. Yes.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I grew up without the Internet. I didn't get email until, like,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: the first email I sent was when I was 19
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: years old or 18, like, when I went to college.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I didn't have any email. So I think that to
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: be a teenager now– that's, that's like breathing. I was
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: talking to one of my nephews. I spent a significant
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: amount of my adolescence as a teenager standing around a
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: parking lot outside of deluxe foods, waiting for the last
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: person in my group to show up so we could
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: go out that night. Like we hacky sack there. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: I talked to someone, my nephew who's goes to the
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: same high school I did. And he's like, yeah, no,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: we just text. Like you don't sit and wait. And
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I was like, the world has just changed so fundamentally
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: from when I was a kid.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I think my, My kid, my youngest, I think most
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: of the communication they do is either text or snap. Snapchat, right?
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: But that's like just private and it goes away. It's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the Twitter X, whatever we call it, X now, X,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: but Twitter.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, we'll call it Twitter.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: You like to try it. It's Twitter.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: You know what's wild? When I first started working at KJR, Graz,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I remember Graz was like the first one. that did Twitter. Like,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: this would have been 2006, 2007, somewhere in there, right?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: And Graz is like, oh, this guy's got to try
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: this Twitter thing. We're like, what are you talking about?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And I love the Graz to death. If Gas had
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: said that, we wouldn't, oh, what is this? Tell me more.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: But it was Graz. And I'm like, what's he got
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: up his sleeves? You know, what's the Groz doing? Come
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: on now. Groz, what are you talking about? Twitter. It's
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: going to be the next big thing. We all should
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: get on board with it. He was right. The Groz
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: was right. Groz was really wrong, to be honest with you. Yeah,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the Groz was right. But it started, and I always
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: thought it was a great place to be a promotional
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: tool for what you're doing, writing. I mean, you use
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: it for your writing and for radio, TV, whatever, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: we still do. But Yeah, when you're like, hey, so-and-so
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: is a dipstick, you know, and worse with language. You
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: probably don't need to tweet that necessarily, but you're right, Danny.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: It can all be avoided. It can all be avoided by, hey,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: because most jobs now, especially with AI, they'll go through
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: your accounts. Like, that's the thing. They go through it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and see, what have you said? Well, that Danny O'Neill,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you, I never hired that guy. Hell, no chance.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that conclusion's been reached. I guess it's I guess
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: it's kind of in the same department because we talked
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: about this a couple weeks ago where this new Seahawks
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: owner was tweeting in response to fans' questions and how
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: refreshing or exciting it is to have that sort of
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: direct communication. I saw this week his son, who has
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: a role with the team, was addressing adding microphones to
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: the press conference, which was exciting. And all of those
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: things are great. And then there's the flip side of
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: when you talk, you eventually are going to say things
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: that are going to sort of knock people off balance.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: When you start opening up the channels of communication, the
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: cost that comes with it is people are going to
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: read into and make inferences and micromanage every little utterance
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: you have because you're giving them a window into– to
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: fuel their speculation about anything you might be talking about.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So he says today when asked for people just joining
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: us that haven't heard, he was asked by a publication
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: called Axios, which is, I guess, a political... Danny, can
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you explain what Axios is for those like me that
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: don't know what the hell it is?
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think anyone that works at Axios can explain
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: what Axios is. It is a political-oriented... news service, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: it's also like they sell an email newsletter format. Like
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: it's a style of writing with bullet points, but they do,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: they do employ reporters who will like interview people. It's,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: it's primarily oriented around technology and politics. Like the news
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: generating portion of it. But yeah, I have no idea
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: why he was answering questions from Axios. We're going to
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: be completely honest. He answers questions from the New York Times.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: I get that. I understand. Wall Street Journal? Sure. He's like,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: why the hell is he talking to Axios? I have
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: no idea.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question. So he was asked them
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: if he would make a commitment to keeping the team
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: in Seattle long term. His quote, quote, I will never
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: say never. Now, he went on to say some really
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: good things. Hey, I'm not going to change anything, you know, blah, blah, blah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: 500 years from now, I fully expect him to still
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: be here, but nobody heard it because he'd already stepped
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: on the rake and it hit him square in the eye.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Right smack between the eyeballs, man. Like, buddy, those five words.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And so I had to go check our text line
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: at 49451. All right. I got to check the text line.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And like, there's some that are saying, don't worry about it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. And like Ashley and I kind
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: of said, he just, You know, just misspoke. Like, he just,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: it was a blunder. Like, it was just kind of
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: a blunder. Just don't say that. But because the Mariners
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: under George Argers tried to move, the Seahawks under Kim
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Bering tried to move, and the Sonics did move, in
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: this particular market, you say something like that, everyone's going
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: to go, whoa. wait a second, what are you talking about?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: And then I started reading some of these things and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: our text lines. The league would approve a move overseas.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: That's part of the NFL's long-term plan. Somebody else, it's
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: a warning shot to our enlightened political class. He's a
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: smart man. He knows exactly what he's saying and doing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: We need to pay attention, et cetera. There's a lot
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: of people going, eh, I don't know if I just
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: slough it off. I will slough it off for now,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: but I think he needs to talk to, as you said,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: The Athletic, New York Times. Seattle Times, whoever it is,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: and just say, hey, or how about this? Go to
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: John Boyle at Seahawks.com. Give him a little thing. We're
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: not going anywhere. And put that on Seahawks.com. We move on.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: The reality in these sort of situations is that nothing
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: he says right now has any binding impact of long-term
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: assuaging fears. But you can say things that send people
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: into a panic. And for understandable reasons, there's some scar
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: tissue here. It is an incredibly poor choice of words.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: But I think if you look at the, at the
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: full content of what he said, if, if there was
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: a scenario where he was looking to move the team,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: or if this was going to be a warning shot,
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: there would have been discussion of the stadium. Like just
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: speaking at this, if this was, if that was the
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: play that was, if he wanted a brushback pitch that
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: was going to put everybody like, Oh, we've got it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: We got to be careful what we do.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: He would have made a reference to the state and
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: he did not. And that, that right there, like specifically
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: said that he has no plans to change anything. with
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the franchise, with Lumen Field. So in terms of the
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: actual logistics of what's going on here, there was no
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: ask or inference of what he wouldn't want. So I'm
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: with you. That's just a clumsy execution. That was absolutely
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: something you did not need to say. And telling someone
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: never say never, how about just not say that? How
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: about just not say that?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I have no current plans to change anything about the team,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: including the coach, president, operation, or living field. It all
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: functions well. If you just said that, that's fine. There
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: would still be people that go, he didn't say we
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: were going to move him. But yeah, the never say never,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: those five words, oh yeah, yeah, buddy. No, that's just not...
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks, so in the last couple weeks, Mike McDonald's
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: done a rogue interview with Graham Bensinger without any oversight.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Kosla does whatever the hell he wants because he's a
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: multi-billionaire times 10, 30, 40, whatever it is. I get that.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: But guys, sometimes it just doesn't help you along the way.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And that's what it is. And you mentioned the two
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: microphones in the press conference for the Seahawks. You know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the funny thing is you've been there. There is a
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: microphone stuck out towards like a shotgun mic for the questions.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: So you can hear them okay. You can't hear them great, right?
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: But you can hear them. They've had that before. I.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Here's my conspiracy, Danny. Did that have anything to do
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: with the Mariners holding their postseason Jerry DiPoto news conference
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: in a closet at T-Mobile Park?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Shot across the bow.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: It is funny how this would be another thing, old
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: man talking about how things have changed. Press conferences used
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: to be an opportunity for reporters to ask questions, for
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: reporters that would inform the stories that they would write.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: And now press conferences are content unto themselves. You watch
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: them after games, and it has created a very, very
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: strange dynamic where the types of questions that are asked,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: sometimes how people respond, it's created a very weird dynamic
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: where people view that as... And I guess it's fair.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Reporters spend all game critiquing the performance of athletes who
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: are doing things that out on the field. And now
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: the fans at home then spend a half an hour
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: listening to reporters ask questions so they can critique how that,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: you know, I can't believe that they won't get up
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: and demand some accountability over what's happened.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Daniel O'Neill joining us, dang apostrophe, a big game tomorrow
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, California, sir. Big game. There's, and you know, it's,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: it's interesting because, uh, Mostly because USC lost not as much,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: but partly because UW lost to Minnesota. It isn't kind
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: of on the radar of many across the country. There's
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: games at Iowa, Ohio State, for example, people pay more
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: attention to. But Danny, maybe it's just the morbid cougar
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: in me.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: You should fully lean into that part of it today.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: This is glorious.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just, I think like someone's going to
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: come out of this game. Someone's coming out of this
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: game and their season is over for what they're expecting,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: for what their expectations were. And I, and I even
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: say that with Washington for this reason, because I kind
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: of was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. And,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: and then I was talking to Stuart Mandel, our weekly
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: visit with him from the athletic of the day. He says, no,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: he says, Washington was ranked in the top 20, the
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: 17th preseason. I know those don't matter to some, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the expectations are when you're that team is not to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: have a Penn state kind of year, like Penn state
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: did last year, like your expectations. And I don't know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I listened to this radio station. I hear Dick Fane.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I hear Dave Softy Mahler talking about playoff expectations all August.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: And I think with the Mon Williams and what you're
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: paying him, you probably had those types of expectations. Now
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: things happen. You're, You know, your running back room's beat up.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, Denzel Boston, we all watched what he did
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: last night. That's a big loss. But every team in
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: the country has guys that get drafted, right? So, meanwhile,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Jen Cohen, the former UW athletic director, whoa. She got
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: a mess on her hands with Lincoln Riley. So Riley Fish,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: to me, is the story tomorrow, Danny.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think whoever loses this game, that coach is
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: going to be feeling a lot of pressure. I think
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: if USC loses, there's a decent chance that Lincoln Riley
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: gets fired. It was different when it happened with Sark,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: but USC has made moves midseason before Lane Kiffin got
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: left on the tarmac. So it's really bad for USC.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Washington's is, is a little bit different. Part of it
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: is because of the injuries. Jed's in year three. I
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: agree with the feeling that you're saying of, I started
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: this season with hopes of an outside shot at a
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: playoff berth. Like I absolutely thought that that should be
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: what they were geared toward. You're bringing back a quarterback
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: who you almost lost. And if he had left, it
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: would have been a disaster, but he didn't. So see
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: if we can hold it together. And instead, now you're
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: hearing talk about how young this team is. And the
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: part that I'm having the hardest time with understanding is
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: how this offensive line just really does not appear capable
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: of living up to the expectations of what you need
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: to have to be a competitive Big Ten team. To me,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: that's the biggest. I understand the difficulties in the run game.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: But between the offensive line, or maybe it's that DeMond
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: is just holding onto the ball so long and he's
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: lost his feel for it. But, man, it wasn't– losing
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: to Minnesota is not any sort of terrible black mark.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: The way they got manhandled and the way it confirmed
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: everything that you feared after the first month, you're like, no,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: they really– offensively, they really were that bad. And I don't–
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: you look out on their schedule, like it's going to
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: be a struggle– to win seven games. They're only going
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: to be favored in maybe two of their remaining games
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: that they have left on the season. There's a long
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: way to go.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Let me, and this isn't me being the Cougar fan,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: because I'm just curious. I love college football. I mean,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I think with USC... Lincoln Riley has proven that he
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: has no ability to hire a defensive coordinator or have
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: any semblance of a good defense, no matter if it's
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma or USC. That's their issue. That's pretty simple. That's
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: their issue. They can't do that. But USC still thinks
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: that John Robinson, John McKay, Pete Carroll are running the show,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: and they're USC, and they're just going to win. That
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: hasn't happened consistently for a while under Lincoln Riley. So
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: their expectations are one thing, and unrealistic or realistic, hard
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: to say. For Washington, though, what are your expectations for
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: where that program should be?
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Well, I feel that every three years, in the current format,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I think every three years you should be competitive for
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: a playoff berth. I think that's the hope. When it's
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: really firing, when it's really going well, what it looked
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: like DeBoer was putting together, even though he was only
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: two years there, certainly what Chris Peterson built. But I
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: think that is the hope for it. That might not
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: be realistic right now. And some of that is to
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: do with the finances. And Washington, in leaving, that it
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: is at a disadvantage, certainly for these first five years
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: in money it's getting from the broadcast package. But that
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: just gets to the bigger thing. What is the expectation?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: There was my fear when Washington left for the Big Ten.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: My fear was that, okay, you're going to a conference
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: that you're losing all of the geographical identity that was
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: tied into it. And Washington's expectation for where it would
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: sit in the Pac-12s it's going to be much closer
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: to Illinois than it ever wants to admit once it
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: goes to the Big Ten.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, Danny, see, that's the thing. When this all went down,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and I'm speaking from a very irrational, emotional standpoint, shocking,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I know, three or four years ago when the Pac-12 dissolved.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: But when that happened, I made mention of that. People
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: lost their mind. I said, listen, if you're Oregon and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Washington and you stay in the Pac-12, you're the kings.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: You're Ohio State. You're the big dog. No one else is, period,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: end of story, right? And, you know, you probably would
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: have kept Cal and Stanford. And all of a sudden,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: maybe you add whoever else you add if you can
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: just get past the snobby, you know, oh, the school
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: stuff matters. If you're not at whatever school, it doesn't, like,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: stop it. That's not what this is about. That's the
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: dumbest thing in the world. You know, like, you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, ask, I think Tosh LaPoi would rather not
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: be in the ACC right now. Like, you know, having
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: a hell of a time, but if you're Washington, you
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: stay in there. And I remember saying, God, you do
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: have an ability to get close. I think I use
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Minnesota actually as the team. You could be Minnesota. That's
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: who you could be. Illinois is a good one. I'd
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: say Purdue, but they're a Final Four team in basketball
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: every year. That's the challenge of leaving this conference. I
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: think Oklahoma has had some good success, but how's Oklahoma
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: long-term in the SEC? Long-term, right? Like all these schools
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: that move around, it's hard. And if you're Washington... Oregon's
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: the only one of the... Now, we'll see what Bob
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Chesney does at UCLA. Is this a one-off or not?
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: But right now, Oregon's the one team in football that's
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: had consistent success.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I love my school. I loved the Pac-12. I don't...
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I definitely... My opinion is rooted in my heart. I
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: understand the financial rationale that motivated Washington's decision. I still
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: would have preferred that Washington stayed. If I had been
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: the one making the choice... I would have chosen to stay.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Once they pulled the trigger and now that they've gone,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: and then even with losing DeBoer and on their third
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: athletic director since the switch, you realize that that wasn't
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: any sort of salvation. It might have been the best
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: financial alternative, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't a
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: really severe uphill slog. Now you're starting to stare down
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: the possibility of that because, man, for all of the
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: talent that Jed Fish has brought in in recruiting, the
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: ability to hold on to that talent is a real
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: challenge in today's. You have the possibility of seeing some
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: of that talent leave, and this right now looks very
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: much like that. a real, it is, you are headlong
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: into disappointment, and maybe they'll go down to USC and
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: play a whole lot better against a USC defense that
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: had had a hard time stopping anybody for the last
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: two games. But certainly what we've seen through four games,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: that this looks like an absolute trudge of a season
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: for Washington and its offense.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: This might be the worst defense they've seen this year,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: and they've seen Utah State, Eastern Washington, and Wazoo. So
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: It could be the worst defense in Washington, D.C., and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: they might have success. By the way, we brought this
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: up earlier this week. Do you think that somewhere they
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: have like a fake– it's Hollywood, right? Do you have
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: like a fake tarmac you can roll out there when
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you fire Lincoln tomorrow, like after Washington beats him?
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, talk to the Coastalist. See if you can
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: get a couple microphones out there. Turn it into some content.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I'll never say never, sir. I'll never say never. I'll
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: never say never.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: You're asking. She's got to wither through all of this
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: as well. I will say, even though it is, it
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: is refreshing to see USC underachieve with all of the talent.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: It's a tradition unlike any other.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: It's great.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: It really is. It is.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I listen.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: These are the games I'm really torn on because I
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: don't like either school. And we don't have ties anymore
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: in college football, so I don't know. One way or
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the other, it's a win, I guess. It's a win
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: no matter what happens tomorrow for some of us. Okay,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: tell people the dang apostrophe, sir.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: It is a newsletter that originates in New York City

  Speaker 2: No Jadarian Price on Sunday. He is out with a
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: chest injury. God, it has been a little rocky start
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: to his NFL career. But it's just the start.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I'm going to the fantasy football team right now because
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: I've got to take him out.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is out. Jadarian Price is out. Ty Okada,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Chaz Surratt, questionable. Julian Love is the good news. He
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: is in. No injury designation for Julian Love. probably be
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: valus jones jr coming up for running back number three
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: that's my guess sounds like jacardia right has some sort
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: of issues health-wise which he's had a bunch of health
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: he's the best of the bunch if he's healthy on
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the practice squad actually not just on the practice squad
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: he's the best of anybody not named jadarian price but
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: he's also banged up right now so Not ideal. Not good, Ash.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Not good.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: No, it's really not.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: God, if only they had a great wide receiver they
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: could lean on. Oh, that's right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, wait.

  Speaker 5: boys and girls at the park, and then the girls
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: spending the night.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll be drinking earlier.
