  Speaker 2: away one of my favorite sandwiches, which is the chicken sandwich.

  Speaker 2: Lots of cover as well with Danny and with there
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and because a lot going on this week here, all
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: across the board in Seattle. Whether you want to think
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of the Mariners starting up here by the way, Chuck
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and Buck fantastic work for them back in Peoria, Arizona.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They're getting back on a plane here as the Mariners
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: get underway with the Padres for a spring training action.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: But that plus also the wake of the Seahawks Super
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Bowl title, the sale here, the impending seale we should
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: say that's going official, and then plenty of questions here
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: with Kenneth Locker the third and maybe if you want
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to throw in some sonics as well, and the Kraken
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: getting back to play. Not to mention the Sounders, also
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: one day away from getting back Jackson felt solo here
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: in a World Cup season, there is a lot to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: go over, but I do have some opening thoughts. But
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the Mariners finally underway now with spring training, and again
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: for all the Chuck and Buck content that you want
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in case you missed at I mean some great, great
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: gold nuggets that we heard here on these airwaves recently
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Rick Riz cal Rawley, Dan Wilson, Jerry Depoto, Brendan Donavan,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Andres Munnos as well.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: They'll go ahead and find that via the radio app.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: With this being spring training underway and the Mariners first
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: game here for today, I'll stay away from the cliche
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of hope springs eternal, not because I'm trying to be
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a pessimist here, but I mean, for years we've had
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a low bar here in Seattle for sports teams, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: part of that could be personal choice, part of it
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: is because the banners here are lacking compared to what
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you might see in places like Los Angeles or New
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: York or Boston.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Or Chicago, et cetera.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: For the Mariners today, it's their first game back since
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Game seven four months ago in Toronto, and a lot
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of time to wrap your head around what happened that night,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of time to weep and psychoanalyze with taken
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Brian wo out for Edward Bizaro and getting a do
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: over maybe if they could against George Springer and that
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: faith full inning last year, though it was the bar
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is set to get back to the postseason. Now you
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: got everybody back. You got Jorge Polanco out essentially though,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Brendan Donovan in, and they answered the big question could
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: they find it bad for their lineup? And they did.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Cal Rawly is healthy once again. Julio is fully in.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Bloom is the best center fielder in baseball, and he
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: has put away and he has trashed any kind of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: narratives here about can he be the guy to perform
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: in big game situations. There's a pitching staff here that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: can go toe to toe with anybody in baseball, might
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: be the best pitching staff in baseball not named the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers. But to much has given also much
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: as expected, and the bar has got to be raised
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: now as compared to last season, and with the Mariners
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: eight outs away from going to where they never ever
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: went before, the bar is now the World Series. The
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: bar is now the World Series, and I don't think
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: based on health how logical it is to rationalize otherwise.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: What I think is a beauty of this, Jess, is
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that I mean for folks, I mean, this is your team,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but now it's a team for all the world to see.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: They'll get more national TV coverage here for this year.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: They'll get also more's scrutiny as a result, but more ultimately,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: if they can get to the biggest stage or who knows,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: let the Commissioner's Trophy about eight months from now.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: The pain and grind of one sixty two makes.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: It all worth well and all worthwhile in the end.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: But that's the kind of standard the Mariners had to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: be held to all season one.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: They absolutely do when you're scraping greatness, and obviously we
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: saw a ton of greatness from them last season. But
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: if you're you know, Tickla in the World Series, then
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: you know you got to go all in. Especially considering
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: the amount of consistency we're seeing in the lineup and
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: the pitching staff right now into this season, the bar
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: can only be raised higher. And it's not that much
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: higher though. It's it's almost like the opposite of limbo.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: You know, how low can you go? Well, I think
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: that they have everything in place to go higher. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know that they saw the greatness they were
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: capable of last year as they approached the postseason. I
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: think they felt it, but I don't think it was
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: an expectation put on by the fan base because that
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: was twenty years coming, you know, twenty three to twenty
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: four years coming to see them in the position that
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: they were last year. So now, of course you have
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: to look at that as buss. What I give Dan
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Wilson a lot of credit for as a manager, though,
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: is having been in that position, he knows how to
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: temper expectations on a day to day basis in a
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: one six to two regular season.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Four nine, four or five one Texas once again, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I want to hear your top backs on this. If
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the Mariners don't reach the World Series, do you consider
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: this season of failure again four nine four or five
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to one or give it to us here via talkbacks
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app ninety three to three KGr and again, just
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: find the red mic icon, record your thoughts and send
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: it in thirty seconds or less, and you're going to
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: be on the show for me. Two years ago, the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: pitching staff was the story here for this team, despite
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: an offense that was underperforming, and now need less is say,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: two years later, this lineup is much much better.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: But the pitching staff.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Last season did not have the kind of help that
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: they wanted, but were able to get over it and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: sustain themselves to win the division and get of the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: postseason and now basically proclaim that we got the biggest
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: target on our back now, not the Houston Astros about
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: half a country away here, just like they've had for about,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: you know, roughly a decade. I think health is a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: great question, but I love what Chuck Palell brought up
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: on the air earlier this morning, and that we need
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: to be talking a lot about defense this year. Pitching
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and defense will win you baseball games in the very end. Yes,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you have to have the lineup here to fortify it,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and you're not gonna win baseball games scoring two runs
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: a game. I think a lot of us saw the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: downside of that in this postseason from this last year.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: But ultimately, pitching in defense, especially up the middle, what
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: do you got. I like what they have in cal Rawley,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I love what they have in Julio, but again, the
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: questions bear JP Crawford. Do you put Brendan Donovan over
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: at third base? Hasn't played there much as compared because
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you played behind the guy named Nolan Aronado, who is
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: as elite as it gets in that position. So a
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: lot of questions here for this team, and I think
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: think that ultimately will be the biggest one here is
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: can this defense perform up to expectations and sustain what
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: they can do on a game by game basis offensively
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent?
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: And I just think that it's hard for me to
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: get into because I'm so football based that it's hard
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: for me to get into the mentality that is required
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: for that kind of sport to keep, you know, a
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: level head when you know it is I think it
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: was Jax Forensic back in the day used to say
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: that it is a game of failure. Batting three hundred,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: you're that negative, your failing exactly. So, so when it
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: comes to that, it's understood that it can be frustrating
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: throughout an entire season, especially with how many you have
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: and where do you focus your energy? But you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: perform the same every single time. Do you focus it
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: on division opponents, conference opponents, do you have a day
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: where you're like, uh, let's have our backup third basement
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: pitch and I Dan Wilson having been there though, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: think is perfect for tenoring that it's just hard for
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: me to understand how anyone can actually do that unto.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Day to day pitching and defense again is a baseline
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: fundamental for success in baseball, just like the offensive line
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: this yere in football, and just like what they would
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: say is besides goaltending but also a good stack of
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: centers in the NHL, the more depth that you have,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the better off that you're going to be one.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Hundred percent And as it's proven, as we look at basically,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: you know running backs in the NFL, right, depth is
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: what keeps you successful. We look at the offensive line
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: like you said, you know we've we had a couple
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: of guys that could swing to different positions.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Right, that's depth.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Even though you don't want to tax people that hard,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: pitching and defense is where it's at and people are
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: really only talking about it in the Gold Glove and
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Cy Young categories at the end of the season.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: So the Mariners have it as far as pitching, Do
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: they have it here for defense? And can it be
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: enough here to get them to the World Series. And
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: is that the bar think that it's a failure if
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: they can't get to the World Series again four nine,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: four to five one, or give us your talkbacks again
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: right here via the iHeartRadio app. We gotta break here
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: because one of our favorites, Danny O'Neill aka the Dang Apostrophe,
• 13:13

• 13:55
  Speaker 2: It's Mike in for Ian's chair here for today. And
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the things that make these radio
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: airwaves here so special, as I take one example for
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a guy like Softy about a few days ago before
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, I was starting to kind of field
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: some feedback of what a potential Super Bowl would mean,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: not just for you, but just for somebody else that
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you know and love. And I think for me it
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: was my father who grew up here a Federal Way
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: class of seventy one, and brought me to my first
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Seahawks game back in nineteen eighty seven back in the Kingdom.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I think it was actually during the strike year when
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they had that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: But his heart was tied to the Mariners in seventy seven,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: hard tied to the Seahawks in seventy seven, Huskies going
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: back to Sonny's sixth Killer as well. And he's living
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: now out in Iowa, my mom my sister as well.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: But for him, for this kind of run they're having
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and toward the end of the Allen era, my goodness,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: it was everything he dreamed of. And he had a
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: ear to ear grin at the end of two Sundays ago.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I know this guy also had this as well. From
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a far away land and the one and only Danny O'Neill,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the dang Apostrophe aka joins us right now, Danny High, Hello,

• 15:12
  Speaker 7: and I think that's I.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: Think that's a really cool thing to share about your
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: family because one of.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: The things that I've always loved about.
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: Sports is that it is something that ties our communities together.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: And I actually think it's become.
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: More important, not just with politics, but like you think
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: about it, when I grew up, you had shows like Cheers,
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: the Cosby Show.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Fraan remember, yeah, yeah, Yeah, There's like.
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: These big cultural like shared experiences, and those don't really
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: exist anymore, in large part because kind of our culture
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: is a bunch of different silos, and sports is something
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: that still brings us together. And I guess that's why
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: in most years, ninety five of the one hundred most
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: watched programs in the country or NFL football games. Yeah,
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: and the Seahawks, the team that we all follow, just
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: just finished on top.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: It was such a surprising year. I don't think when
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: the year started.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: I don't I have not met someone who said, I
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: really expect the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl this year,
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: and they freaking did.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And we're still in the wake of that
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: right now. As I mean, you and I are still
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: kind of getting to know each other here in this airspace.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And I think, though you're all over this show just
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: as much as you know, Loop Penella was all over
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: an umpire back of the day. I mean, let's let's
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: let's go back and think about fifteen years ago, Danny.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I mean the Seahawks back in say, I mean, for example,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: twenty ten, twenty eleven, they hadn't won really much sense
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: at that point, they hadn't won squat definitely not a
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Lombardi Trophy. The Mariners were deep into the ABYSS. The
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Sonics were two years removed from leaving Seattle in the NHL.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if even want to call that a
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: pipe dream at that point. And there's even now a
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: women's PWHL team that's a neighbor of the Kraken in
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the state of the art renovated building here that used
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: to be Key Arena now known as Climate Pledge Arena.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: And the Huskies were back then as a kid, say
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: now mid after going seven and six under Steve Sarkesian.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: So here we are now in twenty twenty six. The
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Hawks have two Lombardi Trophies in twelve years, the Mariners
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: four months ago were eight outs away from going to
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the World Series. The Kracking, now in their fifth NHL season,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: might make the playoffs. The Sonics now have entered the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Chat once again, and the World Cup of Soccer is
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: also coming. And I say all this here to ask you,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: how about Danny O'Neill fifteen years ago view this middle
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: of the decade in Seattle sports.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's actually that's a great because this is we
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: are pretty close, potentially to a high water mark. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: don't want to overplay our heartbreak because we've had some
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: good things happen, but certainly, certainly that two thousand and eight,
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: two thousand and nine, because let's throw in Ty Willingham
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: in there, who've got to winless. This is this is
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: about This is about as as great as you could
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: have hoped for. And the two Super Bowl titles with
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: two different coaches and two different quarterbacks. I mean, the
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: Seahawks really have if you just go since twenty ten,
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: the Seahawks have been as good as any NFL team
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: that's not the Chiefs or the Patriots, Like those are
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: the only two that I would say, like, okay, hey,
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: cut and drive. If those two teams have had more success,
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: but Seattle's Seattle is absolutely up there toward the top
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: of the league in terms of what they've want.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get some more current events here on
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks in just a bit, But if you can
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: go back and think, because I know that you're not,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: as you know, closely tied here to the locker room
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: as you used to be, but is there is there
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: one player do you feel that you would gravitate to
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: if you had a chance to cover this year's team
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: in the room on a daily basis.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna give you two, Nicky Man Worry and Devin Witherspoon,
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: and I would actually say that one of the things
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: that I've enjoyed the most about the distance is that
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: I gained a different appreciation for players that are just
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: fun to watch.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: When you're in the.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: Locker room each day, there is your view of the
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: games tends to be informed somewhat by the day to
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: day of your experience with those players. And a lot
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: of times that's great because you're getting to know and
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: understand their personalities. But there's also sometimes that I would
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: feel that it could get in the way that your
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: ability to appreciate what those guys play like on the
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: field is a little bit shaded by your personal interactions
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: with them or how they talk, and those sort of
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: things no man even worry and with their spoon are
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: so freaking fun to watch. And Devin Witherspoon in particular,
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: that's a guy that was his zero star recruit coming
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: out of high school, coming out of Pensacola.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: He goes to Illinois.
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: Clearly he is small, and in fact, he's so small
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: that I didn't think the Seahawks were really interested in
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: potentially even drafting him.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: I would have said, like, that is not their demo
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: for corners.
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: They like big, long armed guys, and the comikaze style
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: he plays with he's just so awesome and watching him
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: have the game he had. People tend to use the
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: term splash plays and that defensive players get noticed when
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: they make these big game changing plays, and those are awesome,
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: those aren't always the measure of who the best players are.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: Devin Witherspoon's been one of their most consistent defensive players
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: and he had absolutely made the most of his blitzing opportunities.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: It was awesome.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Without further ado, there's ownership talk that we got to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: get to. It's unavoidable. It's unavoidable. Here here, here we
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: go the title wave of setting us right in the
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: face on this. How would you feel about Steve Balmer
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: now as a potential buyer versus say twenty four hours ago.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'd be pumped about Balmer.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: I'd absolutely I I mean some of that is that I.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: Think what you want.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: I think there's two things you really want as a
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: fan from your owner. One and I actually think this
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: is the most important, is that you want him to
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: spend money. You don't want them ever to say like
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: year to year, we've got to be responsible. Like you
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: want somebody who is like, no, man, you're in it
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: to win it. And I don't necessarily want someone who's
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: gonna behave recklessly. But I absolutely want someone who if
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: it takes an extra five dollars to put you over
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: the top, he's gonna spend ten. So I love that
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: about him. The second part is you don't want someone
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: who's gonna make too much. And that's the part you
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: don't know about someone like what what would Balmer be?
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: We had the ideals.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: The Allen family, first Paul and then Jody was ideal
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: in that they like funded it tremendously and didn't particularly
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: care about public credit.
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: I it would be great if you got someone that
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: got that.
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: But I like, I've always thought that Bohmer's competitiveness, like
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: that's that's definitely what I wanted an owner.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I want say?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: If they bring guys in from Mini Camp, I just
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: want to see him run down the field on the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: first day. Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: But I could, but I could.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I think, I think for a different taste on this one.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: What about Jeff Bezos? And I know that I know
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: how you feel maybe about his wait in this here,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: but what is it about? Maybe I think the Washington
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Post thing that really kind of gives you pause over
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: how that translates into running an NFL franchise.
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the the thing that worries me there, I guess,
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: first of all, I'll start, I don't know if we
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: I don't know if Jeff Bezos is really that interested
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: in owning a team in Seattle. He's clearly been mentioned
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: as a potential NFL owner. He moved away from Seattle.
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: He lived here for thirty years, but he moved to Miami.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: A couple of years back, would he really want the
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: seahawkss one. The second thing, and this is about the
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: Washington Post. Look, newspapers are media is an incredibly tough
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: business right now, and that's probably an euphemistic way of
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: saying a dying business. The fact that the Washington Post
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: has experienced the financial struggles that it has is like,
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: that's you can't tie that to Bezos.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: You can't tie that to him.
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: But what I will say is that some of the
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: problems that they've had are tied to Bezos apparently deciding
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: that at the very least, that he didn't want to
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: upset the incoming president. And when they decided not to
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: endorse a presidential candidate, took a huge chunk out of
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: their business. And that was something that it was done.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: In my mind, and this is my opinion out of expedience,
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: that he didn't want He didn't want to have someone
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: who is mad at him. And look, when it comes
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: to an owner, I don't want someone who's looking.
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: To curry favor or looking for the path of least resistence.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: Like you want someone who like they're going to do
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: it because they want to do it, and nobody's going
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: to stop him from doing it. I don't particularly like
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: Jerry Jones as an owner, but like the one thing
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: about him is that he had a clear vision for
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: that team and he went in and he fired Tom Landry,
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: which was not a popular move, and then he won
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: three Super Bowls. And I think you want someone with
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: that kind of You want someone with that kind of
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: starch in their backbone.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: And I think Jeff Bezos has kind of looked like
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: a weaning over the past.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Couple of years.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Danny O'Neill joining us right now on the Beacon plumbing
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: hot line.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Danny Kenneth Walker the third.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I know John Schneider isn't really the franchise tag kind
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: of guy, but how do you feel about the Seahawks
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: potentially keeping him.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: I think they've got a good shot at keeping him.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: It's it's it's a relatively strong free agent class for
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: running backs, and I think that John has a pretty
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: high value. John has shown a willingness to re sign guys,
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: especially to shorter term contracts.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: I don't think Kenneth Walker.
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: Is going to get a five year deal with Seattle,
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: but I could absolutely see him getting a two year
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: deal that pays him in the in the area of
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: fourteen to fifteen million dollars a year, like top of
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: market rate for a running back, and it's just a
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: shorter term deal. Charbon's coming off of a knee injury.
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: I actually, I'm I'm fair. I'm much more optimistic about
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: Walker being resigned than Tarik Wolan.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: What about Walker?
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: And I think the amount of carries that he began
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: to take more on, and of course a lot of
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: this has to do was with the Zach charbonay being
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: out and you know the Grand Finale was the nearly
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: thirty carries he had in the Super Bowl as well
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: for the kind of numbers that he put up. But
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you bring him back in and I
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: know that running backs of course short shelf life in
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the NFL and theirne could blow up any given play here.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: But I mean, do you think that we've hit the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: peak of what they can do with Kenneth Walker or
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: is there more for him? Maybe as far as touching
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: the football, the last.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: Month is the high water mark for what you for
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: his usage. The challenge with Kenneth Walker is he's not
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: a particularly good blocker and he's not good receiver, so
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: he's not a good candidate as a third down back generally.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: But he's really I think you said he's developed more patients.
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: He's not looking to cut everything back. So I think
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: your hope is and if Seattle does resign him, they're
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: looking at hey, can he can he sustain what he
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: did the last month? And I think Seattle's running game
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: looked significantly better the last month, and you're trying to
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: build on that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: So I I don't I don't see this as Hey,
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: that's as good as it's going to get.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: But I don't think you're going to get more out
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: of him than you than you were able to get
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: this last month.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: You're hoping to milk this for as long as you can.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: What what what else about Rike Wollan?
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: Mean?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: This is it here for for Reke Wolan? What did
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: his time and Seattle tell you about what he did here?
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: It is a huge success. That's a guy who was
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: making a position change. It was a fifth round pick
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: and became a great cover corner. I mean, he has
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: a Pro Bowl selection, but I think there's always been
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: some inconsistency in his game. Early on, I think there
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: were some questions about how much he wanted to.
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: Tackle, and then this year.
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: I think there was I mean, you have you have
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: three three unnecessary penalties like he had in addition to
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: some of the hand fighting. I know people were really
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: down on him after the season opener against San Francisco.
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: In my mind, he put himself in position to make plays,
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: he just didn't make him.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: I thought he had a relatively good year.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: I just my sense is he is going to get
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: a top of the market contract, and I think Seattle
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: has seen the good and the bad with him and
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: they'd love to have him back, but they're not going
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: to pay a top of the market contract to keep him,
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: especially when they've got Devin Witherspoon, who they absolutely do
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: and will keep, and Josh job who's been a really
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: good player for them.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Danny.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Before we get out of here, we have a few
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: more things here to get to very quick, and I
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: just want to get touch on some Mariners for a
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: little bit here with you. I mean, I think with
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson getting back into the manager of the Year
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: conversation this year surprised you at all.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: No, I think that he's he's gonna have. There's gonna be.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: There are already some people that have some questions about
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: some of his decision making.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Right right, Yeah, yeah, he.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: He tends to be a little more of the managed
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: by or by feel, rather than following the most advantageous
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: or analytically inclined approaches.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: So I think he will be scrutinized.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: But look that that was a team that could have
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: gone either way last season and everything you've seen since
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: he took over from Scott Service, and I was really
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: skeptical of what of the long term viability of Dan
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Wilson as a manager when they made that move. In fact,
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: I would have said, I think this is for the
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: rest of this season. I think he showed a great
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: feel for that team last year, and ultimately, it's become
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: very easy in baseball to sit and look at how
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: to optimally use guys based on the data. And I'm
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: not discounting that part of being a manager, because I
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: do think that that is important, and I think there
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: are cases where guys are too beholden to their gut
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: instincts or sort of how they learned the game. However,
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: the thing that people who are data driven neglect is
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: that you are managing people and sometimes you have to
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: cater and make those players make decisions that those players
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: will buy into and players are not necessarily the most
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: data driven thinkers either.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: I think that ultimately what you the question you have
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: as a manager is is are players playing their best
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: for him?
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: And last season I think the answer was absolutely, And
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: you see the patience he showed in Julio Rodriguez. And
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: if they have another season like that or take a
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: step forward, I absolutely think Dan Wilson should be.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: Given that look.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: Changing culture and that's what you're talking about doing here. Yeah,
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: for a Seattle team that has perpetually been like just
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: good enough to break your heart, and they got over
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: the hump last year and almost made it to the
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: World Series. And if they make it to the World Series, hell, yes,
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: he should be manager of the Year.
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: The buy and what that team is so crazy and
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: for how quick it has happened, it has been lightning
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: fa And you can hear it from guys back at
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the dugout in July. I was down there in the
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: room when they were popping bottles after beating the Tigers
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: in fifteen innings, and they brought it over and over
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: and over the culture.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: That was established for this offseason.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Did Brendan Donovan wet your appetite here for an upgrade beat.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: The most important was keeping Josh Naylor, in my mind,
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: and I will admit to being a person that said,
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: if they keep Josh Naylor, I'm not going to complain
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: about the other things they don't. And they did, because
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: my biggest complaints about their offseason approach has been that
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: they let they wait and let the market sort itself out.
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: And I'd always been like, Okay, you can find functional
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: players that way, you can find guys that are good values.
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: But there's something to be said for saying this is
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: the guy we need. We need this player, and we're
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: going to pay what it takes to keep him. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: that's what they did with Naylor. They do need someone
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: like him, who is competitive like he is, but who
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: also doesn't strike out, who puts back to ball. They
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: needed him, and once they got him, I was not
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: going to categorize or complain all that much. But I
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: think that Donovan is a great fit for them, especially
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: when you consider that there are some moving parts in
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: that field. Are they going to be able to have
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: cold Young? At what point does Emerson come up?
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: What does their infield?
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: I think having someone who's versatile and then the bat
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: to ball part, I absolutely believe in that.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: Now I qualify all of this by saying.
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: That I was someone who really liked the addition of
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: Sean Figgins.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: No, like, there's there's a little.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Jess's brooke in the wall when you say Sean Figgins,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Jess entered the chat.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: Now when when when Figgins came here, I was like, Oh,
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: that's exactly the kind of competitive I find. I find
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: myself saying the exact same things about Donovan, and that
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: scares the be Jesus.
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: And that part just scares me. So I'm not saying
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: I'm wrong.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying that there's a little spidey sense that
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: tingles of, Like, God, I love that, But I really
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: love the Sean Figgens signing too.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: H Maybe they're on their way. The hope is that
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: this is off to a good start so far. But hey,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Danny appreciates you. I mean, finally, not to get ahead
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: of ourselves here with the NHL season that that's kind
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: of my full time job of the Kraken, with the pregame,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: postgame and whatnot. But at the Krack and wins Stanley Cup,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I'm just throwing a hypothetical out there. You get your
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: choice of evers to drink out of it. What are
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you drinking?
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: Well, back in the day, it probably would have been
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: malt liquor, but.
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: Put some stuff in there.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: But being someone who is coming up on my ninth
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: year of sobriety, I'm gonna say I would go with
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: a nice perier with this lovely and maybe some bitters
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: in top.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Keep a classy, Keep a classy.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Now that we gotta go Doug Baldwin with Martinelli's I'm
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: a simple man here, give me a diet coke and
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: I'm okay with that, right.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: I can't do the apple cider thing.
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: That thing is just it feels too much like ani,
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: which is exactly what I thought of when I saw
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: when I saw.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: Baldwin with the Barton Ellis, I was like, no, you can't,
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: you can't do that. I can't do that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Oh this is great.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if we get this far, we got
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: a Yankee back out here from the East Coast to
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: enjoy this year, but to the Mariner as well on
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: their way. We hope that the Seahawks they've done They've
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: done the deed here as far as a championship run
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: and we're definitely in good times, as you said here
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: from off the top. But I always appreciate you, Danny,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: It's great to talk to you guys.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Have a great.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: You too, Danny O'Neill. The dang apostrophe joining us here.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: That was fantastic. Perier is fine, right, Perier's fine.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: I like you know my that was our fancy drink
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: when we were growing up. If my my mom had
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Perier in the fridge, things were going good. Yeah, that
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: green glass bottle had a little lemon or alime on it.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: I never liked it, though, you don't.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: You don't want to see me and the ungodly amounts
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: of dia coke I would pour into that thing. Oh
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: there is a thirty two bar and real story by
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: the way in this and I'll keep it short because
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: we have Alkiniski coming up here in just a bit.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: But I've earned the nickname dia coke neat from ever
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: if it's you, from my unhealthy addiction here borderline on
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: unhealthy addiction to dia coke. And it was after about
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: It was in the middle of a back to back
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: the Kraken were in Los Angeles. I filled in forever
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: for play by play. He was on the TV side.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: John Forslund was at with TNT. So the team goes
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: to Utah. I fly back here and it's an early
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: morning flight. I have to go from Los Angeles back
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: up to here, take the light rail and go right
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: to Krake in Community ice Plex. No stopping at home.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I live up in the North Sound as well. I
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: might as well just go ahead and white knuckle it here.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: I get in and I feel like a zombie. I
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: think by the end of the broadcast that night, I
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: crushed about probably three carafts full of diet cokes.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Oh that's very.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Which was about maybe I would saying those crafts might
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: be about roughly thirty two ounces, if not more.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: No diet coke.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: Needs Yeah, yeah, you need to uh definitely sprinkle in
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: a little bit of H two O.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Well yeah I did eventually here, but yeah, I felt
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: it though that night. Do the crack and make the
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs. Here there's one guy that you got
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: to keep your eye on. We'll talk more about that
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: without Kiniski. He'll tell us next year on ninety three
• 36:33

• 37:44
  Speaker 2: team USA on your mind? Try five nothing on for
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: size over Slovakia at the end of two periods of
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: play and what does that mean? It is looking like
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: it's going to be USA versus Canada coming up.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: By the way, here for the gold medal game.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Uh, good time to bringing out Kadisky right now, my
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: cohort here for the KRACK and Audio network. It also
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: ever it fits you game by game. I sometimes will
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: sit by Al in the boot as well for play
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: by play coverage. Hi, Al, You're ready for USA Canada?
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: I said it from the beginning, it was going to
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: be US and Canada. It's gonna be five Sunday morning,
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: and it was gonna be pancakes and pucks love it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: And it didn't take you long here to have a
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: text message from you saying three to two, just as
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: we drew it up.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: But what took you, guys so long? What took you
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: so long?
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: I can twist anything into a positive story. I like
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: these games, and I like that these games have been battles, Mikey.
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: I think it's good for to realize that nothing's easy
• 38:56
  Speaker 10: at the Olympics. And so now they're going into that
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: gold medal game against the US knowing that these last
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: two games were no easy, easy feats and it's going
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: to be the same sort of battle, if not more
• 39:08
  Speaker 10: on Sunday. So I like their preparation level based in the.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Last two years, and this is so good here for
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: the NHL.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: A Zaalkinski joins us right now on the Beacon Plumbing
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: hot line Alpha the crack. In three days of camp,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: they're taking the day off here for the day. I mean,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I touched on this with Everett the other day where
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I think health is so important for this team.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: But I think, to you, outside of.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: The goaltending picture, if there's one guy that I think
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: you're looking at to really drive the bus. It's all
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: about Matty Benierz here in this case. But give me
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: one guy on your side.
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean Matty's certainly up there, you know, in
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: terms of what he's done this season. You know, coming
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: out of last season, I think everyone was probably a
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: little disappointed with the numbers that he put up under
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: the under the Dan Bausma reigning. And I think that,
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: you know, you were looking for a bit of a turnaround,
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: and you've absolutely seen that. But I think that what
• 40:02
  Speaker 10: stands up to most of us anyway when we talk
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: about Maddie is the red line back to his own
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: net and how that game, part of this game has evolved. Yeah,
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: he's got thirty seven points on the year, and he's
• 40:15
  Speaker 10: definitely been streaking since the Christmas break, but that defensive
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: side of his game hasn't changed at all. So it's
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: almost like he's integrated Lane Lambert's style into his game
• 40:27
  Speaker 10: and also been able to explode offensively as well. So yeah,
• 40:31
  Speaker 10: huge jobs for number ten.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Finally, Berkeley Katton looking like he's back here with this
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: team and he's getting healthier. Ben Meyers back, that's going
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: to be big here for the fourth line. Because they
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: play with so much jam. But we'll see how much
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: change happens here with a trade deadline coming up, may
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: be on March six, and we could be talking about
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: different names slotted in here. And maybe we had a
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: bit of a tease reportedly with the whole r Timmy
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Peneren situation about roughly three weeks ago.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: But I asked this question earlier.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: I think to you, how much a massive trade for
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: a superstar forward move the needle for this team?
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: Ol Well right now sitting in third place, Mike, They've
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: got to find some way to get some separation. And
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: you either hope for the teams below you to fall
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: off a little bit, or you've got to go on
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: a streak. And one of the ways you can go
• 41:17
  Speaker 10: on a streak is add an additional piece that you
• 41:20
  Speaker 10: think helps you do that. So that's absolutely a front
• 41:23
  Speaker 10: of the mine I think for the front office right
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: now is getting an additional, probably offensive, top six forward
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: on this squad that can help put some of that
• 41:32
  Speaker 10: separation in place.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that big swing matters here. You're taking your big swing,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Zoe of Dallas back on the air. I can't wait
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: to join you, Everett and the whole gang as well,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: because it's going to be off and running and fifth
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: gear into crunch time. Al appreciate this, Thanks buddy, you
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: got it. Mikey be all right, Alconiski joining us once

  Speaker 2: own Dave Softy maler Or that conversation coming up here
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: in just.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: A bid plus.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Also, the biggest headline out of is introduction happened to
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: be how he envisions this offense quote fast, violent and
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: aggressive end quote. Essentially just keeping the good thing going on.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: The Olympics side, Team USA five Slovakia. Nothing in the
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: semis right now, just entering period three. Slovakia already pulling
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: their goaltender and I'm kind of waving the hands right now,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: like Vince Carter after the slam dunk contest.
• 43:38

• 43:52
  Speaker 2: and a part of that Team Finland squad. So looking
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: like it's going to be USA versus Canada by the
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: way for Canada. Sidney Crosby did not play today out

  Speaker 2: in Seattle. This guy has seen a ton of it

  Speaker 9: Yeah, actually I got a little bit more sleep in
• 45:50
  Speaker 9: maybe two hours instead of none.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, you get a nap, then congratulation. Yes, that's the
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: business that that's we live in here. I won't keep
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: it too long because I guess sleep and then work,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: and no particular order is around the corner here for you.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: But hey, great, great doing this, my man. And I
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: pose this question here to Danny O'Neill last hour, and
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: I'll kind of throw this here similarly at you because
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: I think certainly context matters. You've seen this here since
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: you began working here just a little under two decades ago.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: My goodness, how time flies. I mean, I've been a
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: part of this year for about roughly ten years. I
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: grew up here until I was about eight years of age,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: and my goodness, times have changed. So I mean, you
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: think about and I kind of use the fifteen year
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: old frame of reference here and how things have changed.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks division titles, one Super Bowl appearance, but I
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: mean you compare that to championship squads you haven't won
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: squat the Mariners back then, deep into the ABYSS. The
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Sonics about roughly two years removed from leaving Seattle. Mean
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: the NHL was a pipe dream. The Huskies under Steve Sarksian.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: We're seven and six, So I mean, here we are
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: now in twenty twenty six. I mean, the Seahawks have
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: to Lombardi Trophies and this last decade plus the Mariners
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: were so close to the World Series last year, the
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Kraken fifth year now in the NHL might make the
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs once again. The Sonics are back in
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: the conversation and we're getting the World Cup year once more.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: So I mean, what.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Would Aaron Levine, How would Aaron Levine.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: React of you know, fifteen twenty years ago to what
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: we're seeing now in the sports landscape in this decade.
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: Well, I would say that this is likely the golden
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: age of the Seattle sports we're living in right now,
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: and we should definitely enjoy it. I remember going back
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: to the two thousand and eight or two thousand and
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: nine season, when the Seahawks were four and twelve, the
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: Huskies were zero to twelve, the Cougars were two and
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: ten something like that. The Sonics left town, the Mariners
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: lost one hundred games, and I wore memorabilia or apparel
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: from every single one of those teams on Halloween, and
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: I called myself a complete loser. So think about where
• 47:56
  Speaker 9: we are now and just you know, winning more than
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: these teams ever have before. Hopefully we have another World
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: Series contender this year. But I would say the last
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: seven eight months in general, going back to when the
• 48:09
  Speaker 9: Sounders one League's Cup against Lionel Messi and enter Miami
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: in front of that electric craft at Lumen Field, and
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: then going through that playoff run with the Alds Game
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: five and Blanca with the game winner, and then Gino
• 48:23
  Speaker 9: Suarez with the Grand Slam home run after col ties
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: it in the bottom of the eighth inning Game five
• 48:28
  Speaker 9: of the Alcs against Toronto and then the electric atmosphere
• 48:32
  Speaker 9: at lumin again on Thursday Night football against the Rams,
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: going on to win a championship for the second time
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: in franchise history. And you mentioned the Kraken hopefully making
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: the playoffs again, and you got World Cup coming up
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: this summer.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: I remember back here to the Baseball Reference, Saron, I
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: remember Gino's home run and it landed right beneath the
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: auxiliary press level, and that hit of here cafe, and
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: I have never been in a venue like t Mobile
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: where one of them just made the shake. I was
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: not here for Beast Quake, but it was my first
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: experience with something of similar nature and it was nothing
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: like I had ever experienced. And that home run might
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: live on here for a long long time. But many
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: hoping that that can be topped here for this postseason,
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: because I'll get here to the bar here for the
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: marinerism just a bit as far as expectations here, but
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: with the Seahawks winning it all once again, of course,
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: we all saw this coming from a mile away here
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: with the ownership and the sale is underway officially here
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: But I kind of pose this year.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: First off, in what kind of bar did Jody Allen
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Paul Allen as well set here for whoever is coming in.
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: Next Yeah, I think the results speak for themselves. I mean,
• 49:45
  Speaker 9: before Paul Allen took over the team, they had never
• 49:47
  Speaker 9: won a championship and never mint it to the Super Bowl.
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: For and under the Alan tutelage, over the last to
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: thirty years, the Seahawks have made it to the Super
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: Bowl four times. They've won twice. They have those championships now,
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: and you obviously have to thank Paul Allen for saving
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: the Seahawks from moving to Los Angeles by purchasing the
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: team for one hundred and ninety four million dollars back
• 50:11
  Speaker 9: in nineteen ninety seven, But also kudos to Jody Allen
• 50:15
  Speaker 9: for the way that she ran the trust ever since
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: Paul Allen passed away, in that she was hands off enough,
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: hands on enough to make the decisions that matter, but
• 50:24
  Speaker 9: also hands off enough to trust the people that were
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: in charge to make even bigger decisions, from the keeping
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: you know, John Schneider to hiring Mike McDonald than all
• 50:34
  Speaker 9: the personnel moves they've made since then.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about Jeff Bezos versus Steve Balmer
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: or somebody else entering this chat. As far as ownership, Yeah,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: I would probably lean toward Balmer over Bezos. And I
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: think my one priority, and I said this in a
• 50:49
  Speaker 9: recent commentary, is that whoever takes over the team really
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: needs to understand their role as a steward of this community.
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: That is priority number one. And no comes into this
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: situation amongst all of the potential owners. I think then
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: Steve Balmer, because he was the guy that was involved
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: in a local ownership group that was trying to bring
• 51:10
  Speaker 9: the Sonics back to Seattle. He also understands the heartbreak
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: of so many local sports fans who endured the departure
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: of the Sonics back in two thousand and nine to
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: Oklahoma City and has been desperately trying or had in
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: the past, tried to make that all better by bringing
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: a team back here. He understands that he's also with
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: ties to the Pacific Northwest, and I think that's a
• 51:35
  Speaker 9: really got big combination to coming in here and taking
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: a team that is already profitable. And that's the other
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: thing I worry about anybody coming in here and trying
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: to make a profit off of this team simply because
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: if you own a team, regardless of whether he's seven
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: eight nine billion dollars, if you hold it long enough,
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: that team is going to increase in value. This team
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: is going to be sold for forty to fifty times
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: with Paul Allen paid for it back in nineteen ninety seven.
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: Hold this team for another thirty years, who knows how
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: much the value of this franchise will be. So and
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: those are my priorities when it comes to a new
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: potential owner for this team, and I would choose to
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: see Valmer over say a Jeff Bezos.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Well, the initial look is that this may not get
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: done until late end of the summer, maybe even bleeding
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: into the season so to speak. Here, so the Seahawks
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: have to keep moving, and they did so here hiring
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Brian Flury as offensive coordinator. But Aaron, I think the
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: one takeaway I had out of his press conference there
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: is that there's not much to be changed. I think
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: this from like a baseline scale. They want to keep
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: the ball moving as far as the run game, in
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: the same way that Clint Kubiak was doing this. But
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: what was your initial read coming out of the press
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: conference say yesterday.
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I really love the continuity and the
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: fact that clearly Brian Flurry impressed Mike McDonald enough in
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: his interview to convince him that he would the right
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: hire over any internal hires. And I think Brian Fleury
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: obviously had probably a bigger task in terms of convincing
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: Mike McDonald over coaches that he was already very familiar
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: with inside his staff. So I'm excited to see what
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: Flury can do. There's always a risk you take with
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: a first time play caller, but everybody, as Mike McDonald said,
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: everybody is a first time play caller at some point,
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: and sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss. Hopefully that's going
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: to be a hit. And you go back to Clint
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: Kobak and his success as a play caller, first off
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: in New Orleans when they had all of those quarterback
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: issues a couple of years ago, and then here in
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: Seattle in year two for him as an offensive coordinator,
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: he certainly set the bar high and hopefully Fleury can
• 53:49
  Speaker 9: follow in.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: This list notes perfect transition because Brian Floy was on
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: these air waves just yesterday with Softy and here's Softie
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: asking more about Flurry. And his experience and also his philosophy.
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: I don't know if they're you know, concerned or scared,
• 54:03
  Speaker 11: but just questions about a first time play caller taking
• 54:06
  Speaker 11: this gig.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: What would you say to them?
• 54:09
  Speaker 12: Let me save you some suspense. They're softy, I'm going
• 54:12
  Speaker 12: to make a bad play call at some point, Okay,
• 54:14
  Speaker 12: So like not everybody be ready and don't pound. Don't
• 54:17
  Speaker 12: pound the panic button if it happens. No, I've been
• 54:20
  Speaker 12: preparing for this for a long time, Like the uh,
• 54:22
  Speaker 12: you know, the play going process on offense is really
• 54:25
  Speaker 12: done way ahead of time. All your preparation through the
• 54:28
  Speaker 12: week about every situation that could possibly come up. You're
• 54:30
  Speaker 12: thinking of the plays within the plan that you want
• 54:32
  Speaker 12: to execute at that time. And then so it's really
• 54:35
  Speaker 12: just a matter of being able to process the situation
• 54:37
  Speaker 12: in real time and get to the calls that you've
• 54:39
  Speaker 12: already thought about and so that that I'm very confident
• 54:41
  Speaker 12: in and you know, communicating that to the quarterback. It's
• 54:44
  Speaker 12: really just you know, preparation and execution more so than
• 54:48
  Speaker 12: you know, I'm not thinking up plays in the middle
• 54:50
  Speaker 12: of a drive like out of the blue. It's all
• 54:52
  Speaker 12: done ahead of time. So I'm confident in our process
• 54:55
  Speaker 12: and our coaching staff to get everybody aligned and we'll
• 54:57
  Speaker 12: go out and execute.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: But dog gunnet, as I say in the media, aren't
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: we in the content business? Aren't we into what's called overreaction?
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Monday sung firmly Planet in cheek by the way, that
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: was Brian Floury NEWOC with a softy but air And
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: after all of that, when you think about it more,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: how much does experience matter here for a job like this.
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: I think experience matters. I think philosophy matters more than experience.
• 55:24
  Speaker 9: And that's something that Ryan Grubb didn't necessarily have either
• 55:29
  Speaker 9: of coming in two years ago as the first time
• 55:33
  Speaker 9: NFL offensive coordinator. Sure he had success at the college level,
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: but his philosophy was a lot different from what we
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: saw with Glen Kubiak and what we're going to see
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: with Brian Fleury, who comes from the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree.
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: I think that really does matter because we saw this
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: lack of success that this offense had under Ryan Grubb
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: and him putting offensive linemen on an island on a
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: regular basis and the lack of an emphasis on the
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: and then you've turned that on its head this past year,
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: and we saw the success it had under Quint Kubiak
• 56:07
  Speaker 9: with the emphasis which John Benton had as an offensive
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: line coach, and that's only going to continue next year.
• 56:13
  Speaker 9: So I'm excited to prioritize the run game, win the
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: line of scrimmage, win the battles in the trenches, and
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: continue to find that success they had earlier this year
• 56:23
  Speaker 9: with the run game.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: In the conversation, how much more confident are you with
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: K nine being resigned, I mean I would.
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: Be much more confident if he was resigned. I'm not
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: surprised the team is not likely going to put the
• 56:37
  Speaker 9: franchise tag on Ken Walker the third. I think anybody
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: that looks at the projected salaries on the franchise tag
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: for all of the positions would probably be a victim
• 56:49
  Speaker 9: of sticker shock. I mean you're talking about I mean
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: running back is the second lowest projected salary of all
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: the positions, and Lois Lorthy lois compared to if you
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: knock out the special teams positions, and that's fourteen and
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: a half million dollars for one season. And I understand
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: that there are questions about about Zach Charponay's health going
• 57:12
  Speaker 9: into next year. I think he had surgery earlier today,
• 57:15
  Speaker 9: and I hope he's back sooner rather than later. And
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: maybe Ken Walker the third has some leverage in that regard.
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: But the leverage he has I think in the open
• 57:24
  Speaker 9: market here's a bit. Considering the playoff performances they had,
• 57:28
  Speaker 9: including the Super Bowl and now the reigning Super Bowl MVP.
• 57:32
  Speaker 9: I think most of his representation is probably saying, hey,
• 57:36
  Speaker 9: let's just take this to free agency in March and
• 57:38
  Speaker 9: see what we can get from another team, because I
• 57:41
  Speaker 9: think another team's going to be willing to pay more
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: than the Seahawks. The question is, will Walker be willing
• 57:47
  Speaker 9: to take maybe more of a discount to return to
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: the Seahawks next year and take say a three year
• 57:53
  Speaker 9: deal that's worth I don't know, thirty million dollars or so,
• 57:56
  Speaker 9: and give him twenty million guaranteed and if he could
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: be happy with that.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Aaron Levine joining us right now with the Beacon Plumbing hotline,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: and while the Seahawks, well, they're done here for a
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: few months and we're talking more about draft stuff coming
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: up here and free agency whatnot here the crack and
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: are getting back soon. They're in the playoff mix right now, Aaron.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, reports say that they could be a buyer
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: coming out of the Olympic trade freeze, But I think
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: in your case like this, how much theoretically would trading
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: for a superstar forward and a blockbuster trade move the
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: needle for this team for you as we get into
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: the stretch drive.
• 58:34
  Speaker 9: I think it's really important, I really, I mean, the
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: team has tried to sell us on this idea of
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: a collective ball the last four and a half seasons,
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: and while they found success in that second year and
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: they've found a bit of success this year as well,
• 58:47
  Speaker 9: they need that guy to put them over the top.
• 58:49
  Speaker 9: I really believe that if you take a look at
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: the standings and the stats, I mean, they don't have
• 58:54
  Speaker 9: a guy in the top one hundred in the league
• 58:57
  Speaker 9: in total points. Yeah this season. I mean, Jordan every
• 59:00
  Speaker 9: leads with thirty eight and he's one hundred and seven
• 59:02
  Speaker 9: tied four hundred and seventh in the league. And that's
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: nothing against him, and it's nothing against Matty Vaniers who's
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: second in points. And they're great players. They need, I
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: mean necessarily a Connor McDavid, who's who you know, blows
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: all those guys away, but they need somebody that can
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: consistently contribute on a nightly basis. It's and it's that
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: superstar appeel will certainly help tickets sales for sure going forward,
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: but I also believe that that superstar appeal is only
• 59:29
  Speaker 9: going to help them win more games down the stretch
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: and potentially help them go further in the playoffs and
• 59:35
  Speaker 9: than they ever have before.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: You talked to any guy in that room, and we
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: did so here for the last couple of days. What
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: the Mariners did about four months ago and what the
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Seahawks just did really lights of fire here for what
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: they want to do coming right out of the Olympic break.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the Mariners right now, they get going right
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: now for spring training, I think as far as what
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: to watch for me, you get Brendan Donovan right now
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: back in there as a bat that you need. Cal
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Rawley is back after a short period. This pitching staff
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: is again one of the best in Major League Baseball.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: To you, Aaron, though, is this a team that's World
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Series or bust?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: I kind of think so. After last year, I think
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 9: at that the very least an ALCS team, you're expected
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 9: to win the Division you have the third best odds
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 9: to win the World Series in the entire league at
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: thirteen to one, albeit the Dodgers to the odds on
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: favorite in the National League. Really the American League essentially
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: should come down to either the Mariners and the New
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: York Yankees. And it's exciting going into a season as
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: the expected favorite in your division in the American League West,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 9: over the Astros and over the Rangers, and potentially over
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: the A's, who could could be the second best team
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: in the division, believe it or not, despite their lack
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: of pitching. And I really think that they have advanced
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: to do something special this year. There's nobody else really
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: in the American League that stands out. You're bringing the
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: lot of the same guys back from last year. I
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 9: thought it was a huge deal that they resigned Josh Naylor.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: Bringing in a leadoff hitter like Donovan's really exciting as well.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: And maybe you need one more arm in the bullpen.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: But you also have a number of young guys like
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: Colt Simmerson that could potentially add to this offense and
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 9: to this team in general down stretch this season.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: I would not be surprised if Colt Emerson is here
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: for opening Day. I mean, we talked about the bats
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: that you had to add, Josh Naylor, was that ever
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: so important start? I mean, as far as getting a
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: guy like say Kyle Tucker, it wasn't going to happen,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: and there are other names out there, But did Brendan
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Donovan wet your appetite as far as a bat that
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: they had to add for this offseason to make it
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: successful as a whole?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: I think they needed a bona fide lead off hitter.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: And if that's the role that Donovan's going to play
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: and he's going to do it successfully, then yes, that's
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 9: the guy that I needed. That's as far as i'll
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: because I wasn't really familiar with Brendan Dolphin as much
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: as a lot of baseball folks are. But if he
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: fills that void that they have desperately needed over the
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: last couple of seasons to play on a regular basis,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: and and and and do some damage to the top
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 9: of the lineup, and absolutely, I.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Really can't believe that one of our colleagues caught a
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Andres Munio's bullpen back out in Peoria, Arizona. I mean
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: I threw this question out earlier if you're if you
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: if you're giving one of the options here, you're putting
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: on the tools to catch Andres Munio's bullpen and Edwin
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Diaz bullpen or a Randy Johnson in his prime bullpen.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: Aaron, you got to pick one. What is it going
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: to be?
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 9: I have to pick one. I mean, listen, you remember
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 9: when I put on all the pads as a goaltender
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 9: for the Everet Silver Tips back of the Day.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: And I got Friends of God video too. By the way,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: don't you worry?
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 9: Absolutely so, you know I'd probably be Edwin Diaz. Uh
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 9: it wouldn't or Randy Johnson, that's for sure.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: I just pad up the old glove right there. But
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: in the meantime, pad the pillows up. You needs some sleep.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you, buddy, Thank you.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: That's Aaron Levine joining us here at Fox thirteen. I
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: would not wish that Andre's Munno's bullpen on my worst enemy.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I can't believe still Adam Jude saying, yep, I'll do it,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: and yeah, what do you know? He came away with
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a I won't say a busted thumb,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: but it was awfully I am awfully close as.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: Someone who caught him softball for a very short period
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: of my life before I started on court sports. Uh,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: that can really dingya if you catch it in the
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: thumb the wrong way.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: My oldest kid is playing Little League in selectball right now,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: and he plays third base. He's also a pitcher, and
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: he's got stuff that would just blow eleven.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: Year old meat out of the water.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: In fact, we had a conversation back in the car
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: the other day I picked him up from school, my
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: other kid as well too, and he asks Dad, how
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: good were you?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: And I was like, son, I was done playing after
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: sixth grade.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: And at that point my dad said, you can play
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: golf if you want. You can play baseball if you want,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna fund both. You got to pick
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: one of the other.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: And those are expensive sports to play.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: When I wasn't getting as much reps here for pitching,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: and I would call my career high about three hits
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: in one season.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: It was time to go. It was it was time
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: to go.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: But I've caught my my my eleven year old's bullpens
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: before just we we lived nearby a sports complex up
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: in the North Sound, so getting in the car getting
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: out there free time. It's only about, you know, two
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: and a half minutes. So we have some mupped over
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: spare gear in our garage. I put it on and
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: he's now touching sixty miles an hour as as a
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: fifth grader. Yeah, at eleven, he's he's got some good
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: stuff already. Me not being a catcher, me, me not
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: being a catcher when I grew up there there there
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: are still some movements that you make with the glove
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: that are a bit awkward and lowe will. One day
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: I tried to catch a low fastball by not moving
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: my glove down but also turning it upside down and
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: exposing my wrist. Oh sixty miles an hour with a
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: four seamer off the wrist.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: No good.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: And about thirty seconds later after I gathered myself and
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: I said, son, whatever you heard out of my mouth,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: don't repeat that ever again.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 7: Talk back.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Some texts coming up next to ninety three three k J.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: Gerrafin got a nice thing about being back in studio again.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: You can wear whatever the heck you want, get as
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: comfy as you want it, as.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: Laid back as you want.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 6: Friday laid back is even better.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: I got the hat, the hoodie thing, going everything. You know,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: once you get out into the open field, you do
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit more to addressed, to impress a thing,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: at least for me.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm back in here.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 5: At one of the stadiums, one of the practice facilities.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: I'm always dressed.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: You are kicking back in here. I remember my first
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: year here are our daily departed. Kevin Shockey looks at me.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: I was actually in like a golf sweater, golf pants
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: and at least you know, to to sum me a kulpa.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I was leaving this show immediately to go to dinner
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: with a colleague on Mercer Island at a nice restaurant here.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: So he looks at me and goes, the next time
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: I see you in here, do not where I repeat,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: do not wear anything but a hoodie.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: Now that is a good director.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like I would take that.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 6: I would never wear anything but a hoodie ever. Again.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you kind of larded me me at least,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: going from one one walk of life here to the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: next and me working in radio Land and joining radio Land,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: he had a little bit more office to korum in
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: my previous job. Now, you wear whatever the heck you want.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: Oh well, I think a lot of things changed, like casual,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: comfy is very easy.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: It's very much now for the for the twenty two,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: isn't it. Yes at leisure, Yeah, you can throw that
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't see you know when someone especially in
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: our area, if someone suited and booted there from somewhere else.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: Look at the NBA now, oh exactly, it's less pat
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Riley more JJ Reddick.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you go back sidelines.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 6: I mean NFL the same. I mean back in the
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 6: day though it was.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: Kind of bleeding in a little bit too.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: Like John Tortorella before he left the Flyers, he was
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: doing more of like the quarter zip like at leisure
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: look and he was like the paraphrase, Man, I'm not
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: going to a job interview. I'm coaching guys, exactly.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 6: I have a job to do.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: It's still very much more of the hardcore culture and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: hockey where it's more of like a suit and there's
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: decorum in there's I think optics around it.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: But I mean different, different time of day.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, I got the the crack and hoodie
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: on here, got.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: A couple of fun things exactly the way you should
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: to come into I.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: Feel good I feel good. I feel comfy.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got I got to the Lynstoul had a
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: lynxul shirt on there. They're a nice golf brand too,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: but it's not just like it's not a golfer's brand.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: It's more of like a lifestyle brand. I feel a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: really good and.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: Really comfy in it.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: That's all that matters.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: Comfy, it's laid back. I mean, they may clothes across
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: numerous lines. I'm kind of like a surfer by heart.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: That kind of appeal to that crowd as well to
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: working out, yoga, travel, you know. It's it's stuff that
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: fits me and I need to feel good and live
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: my best life here. So that's some good stuff here
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: that I can roll in here too.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 6: Well, that's all that matters.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: Enough about me anyway.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Four Takoma Dodge text Line shop to Koma Dodge Chrysler
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: Gee ran by the corner of thirty eighth and South
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Tacoma Way, the intersection of Savings two o six, saying
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: it's more depressing news about the Seahawks than people think.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Get the team of Jody Allen, no Toe. Steve Balmer.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Notice Steve Balmer that from the two oh six, what
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: do you think about that four nine, four.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: To five one.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: I like Balmer better than other names that have been
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: floated out there.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: I do like the fact that maybe.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: Jody Allen can get with a couple of buyers groups
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: and everything and essentially sell the team but be a
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: part of a group that buys it back.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: But the problem here I see with this, and the
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: one big hurdle, is that the NFL is less into
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: ownership groups here these days and more into a singular figure.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: And it's not as if again again, it's not as
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: if Jody Allen can just you know, sell the team
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: buy it back, because again she's in charge of a trust, yes,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: and the profits have to all go to philanthropy.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: So that bears a question, where is she going to
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: come up here with the money?
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 6: I think the question is, I don't know her networth?
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: That was my question.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: That's awsomely something I was looking into, and it's it's
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: not well known out there.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: So she might actually be able to do that.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Two sixty eighth the Kraken ownership group would be interested
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: in buying the Seahawks from the two oho six. I
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: think they're well off right now with what they have.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know about know there's reports about the NBA.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: They got their hands full of that as well too.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: I just don't I don't worry about the Seahawks and
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 5: them getting moved or anything like that.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: I think ownership maybe it's just because.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to even entertain that conversation since I
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: bet they are not.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 6: Going anywhere They're No, it's not even it's not even that.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: But since I've been out here, ownership has hired good
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: people and let them do their jobs. Yeah, which is
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: very John Wooden's way of coaching, and I believe in
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: that philosophy.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 6: And I just haven't seen.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 5: I can't see Jody's selling to someone who's gonna meddle
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 5: Like there's not gonna be a Jerry Jones in this situation.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: And there's gonna be someone who's got to also check
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: the boxes here for what NFL ownership loos, because all
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: this will be subject to an NFL vote exactly. You're
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: not just buying the team of getting in, You've got
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: to also be approved here by NFL owners.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: No, this isn't an eBay auction.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, and this has also got to be a team,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: I think, because again you have luman Field, which has
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: an option through twenty thirty one.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: Right now with it's deal, not only that, but.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: Also with where they're playing right now in the Seattle
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: market and the TV dollars at stake as well, there's
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: got to be someone who's got to be fully committed
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: here to this process with keeping this team here.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: That's just basically from the foundation.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: Of this right from the Have you ever looked at
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 5: a geographical NFL map?
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: Were the only ones? Yes?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: Crazy, Yes, because it goes from here to the east
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: to Idaho down Oregon.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, you you saw the parade, you were out there.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: You're never going to pull a team out of here.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: Like that's just like not even in my realm of
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: thinking about what new ownership would.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: Million people in the city.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 6: Million, no grease light poles.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 5: The only person that at least Jackson reported on that
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: he saw in handcuffs was someone who was in an
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: Angel's hat and an l A jersey.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 6: Why why, I have no idea?
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean I took my Maya kids out there
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: for the parade. I pulled them out of school. I
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: know a lot of folks, maybe did you have a
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: similar experience? Four nine, four or five one? They had
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: a blast and it was totally safe.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: Yes, of course it was.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Now as far as travel, there was I mean, once
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: we had our plans all solidified, there was no way,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: and I mean no way. I was getting in the
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: car going down five South. No no way, no no, Yeah,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: We're we're in the North Sound. We got on the train,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: took the Sounder all the way down from Everett right
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: down here to King Station, boom out in an hour,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: and got right back. We actually the line going back
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: was massive. I heard massive. And the one thing that
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: you know, because I don't have Seahawks season tickets a
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: lot of the time Sundays, you know, if there's no
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: kracking game, the Mississi is saying, hey, family time.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: I like, yeah, yeah, So.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to Loomin eight times a year, but
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not that I should be a little bit more
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: well educated. As far as the Sounder training, I wasn't
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: and forgot that. It didn't leave to go back into
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: town back home until about at least two thirty. So
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: we're all floating around and joining the scenery.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: The boys wanted, you know, to see the parade.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: Once the rally was done, we were in the upper
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: bowl of lumen and then kind of foind out about
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: eleven to thirty. Yeah, nothing doing so went to Jimmy's.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: And buggy in here for a little bit after that perfect.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: Then saw a few more things around the area, then
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: finally made it back out of the sounder training about
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: roughly four forty five.
• 1:13:32
