0:23
Speaker 1: Clark questions in their hip pocket.
0:26
Speaker 2: He was happy, he was having a good time.
0:28
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we had a good time together. If I
0:35
Speaker 1: was like eighth grade, me like, And that was the
0:37
Speaker 1: conversation I had with a girl over the phone. Oh yeah, Like,
0:41
Speaker 1: I don't know if she likes me.
0:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I shouldn't ask anything back about me.
0:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Her answers were all short. She laughed
0:50
Speaker 1: a few times.
0:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
0:51
Speaker 1: I think she thought I was funny, but I don't know. Yeah,
0:55
Speaker 1: that is just trying to be nice. She might think
0:56
Speaker 1: Chad Stinky's cuter. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
1:04
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. He's the guy that moved into town. And
1:07
Speaker 1: you know, I was the ladies man in the third
1:09
Speaker 1: grade in our clo and then Chad Stanky moved into
1:12
Speaker 1: town on our competition. What the hell's going on? Why
1:15
Speaker 1: do all the girls suddenly like Chad Stanky? Great morning
1:22
Speaker 1: to you. Andrews Hurst is here filling in for Ashley Ryan.
1:25
Speaker 1: She is on a real vacation. She's just not taking
1:27
Speaker 1: a day off to you know, pitddle around Mill Creek.
1:30
Speaker 1: She's heading off to Hawaii for goodness sake, so she'll
1:33
Speaker 1: be out for a while. So you're gonna hear Anders
1:36
Speaker 1: and I for a few shows here over the next
1:38
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Great to have you with us. We
1:41
Speaker 1: got Greg Bell coming up here in two minutes, as
1:43
Speaker 1: we always do at seven o five, and we've done
1:45
Speaker 1: nothing but Seahawks so far this morning, which is unlike me,
1:49
Speaker 1: quite frankly, to go that large of a block on
1:52
Speaker 1: just one team. But we'll continue that with Greg Bell
1:56
Speaker 1: here at seven o five and then we'll get into
1:57
Speaker 1: some Mariners baseball at seven thirty. Get to your headlines though.
2:01
Speaker 1: This hour brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps, Light
2:03
Speaker 1: Shoes Chill. Mariners back in action today against the Milwaukee Brewers.
2:08
Speaker 1: One of the best teams in baseball, and regular season
2:11
Speaker 1: wise they typically are, and so this is gonna be
2:15
Speaker 1: a difficult series and it's gonna be played in Wisconsin.
2:18
Speaker 1: We'll be pitching Bryce Miller tonight. They're gonna go with
2:21
Speaker 1: a young left hander Kyle Harrison, who at the beginning
2:23
Speaker 1: of the year was dominating. He's not dominating anymore, but
2:26
Speaker 1: he is left handed, and you know what that means
2:29
Speaker 1: for the Mariners and their challenges.
2:31
Speaker 2: And he's going to be dominating. He could be very
2:34
Speaker 2: well could be.
2:35
Speaker 1: Also, let you know that college football, we're going to
2:39
Speaker 1: be out at Husky's Camp tomorrow and Thursday. We got
2:43
Speaker 1: all sorts of fabulous guests lined up for you, So
2:46
Speaker 1: two days out at Husky's Camp. The EIGHTP pole came
2:50
Speaker 1: out yesterday College Football preseason Poll. Ohio State is number one,
2:54
Speaker 1: Oregon is number two, Washington was ranked seventeenth in the country.
2:57
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about that and what it means
3:00
Speaker 1: inside the Big Ten because it feels like the AP's
3:02
Speaker 1: drawn some real definitive lines on the shelf income in
3:07
Speaker 1: terms of the powers of the Big Ten heading into
3:10
Speaker 1: this season. So we'll get into that later on in
3:13
Speaker 1: the show. And of course the Seahawks, it's gonna be
3:16
Speaker 1: Titans Week for them. They're gonna just fistfight them all
3:19
Speaker 1: week long and then they'll play a real happy, easy
3:22
Speaker 1: game on Sundays.
3:23
Speaker 3: There's gonna be more like consternation in the practices than
3:27
Speaker 3: the actual game.
3:28
Speaker 1: So that's Nashville Week. It's Nashville Week for the Seahawks
3:32
Speaker 1: and Greg Bell, who's going to join us here in
3:34
Speaker 1: a moment, and don't forget Hard Knocks tonight, episode number three,
3:37
Speaker 1: and it could be the most interesting one to date,
3:41
Speaker 1: considering the news, the news we had, the news week
3:44
Speaker 1: we had in covering the Seahawks this past week, and
3:47
Speaker 1: one guy that was at the center of that was
3:49
Speaker 1: our own Seahawks insider Greg Bell, who joins us.
3:51
Speaker 5: Now as part of our continuing NFL coverage for the
3:55
Speaker 5: twelfth Man. This is twelfth Man News, part of Chuck's

4:17
Speaker 1: Good morning, Greg, Good morning. When you go to Nashville,
4:21
Speaker 1: do you try to find like a famous artist to
4:25
Speaker 1: hear music or are you more of the type that
4:27
Speaker 1: just likes to go to the bar and whoever's playing
4:29
Speaker 1: is probably good.
4:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nashville is a place you just will stumble into
4:34
Speaker 4: any old place and it's pretty good, is that right?
4:37
Speaker 4: And most of the places have three levels and three
4:39
Speaker 4: different bands on each level, And I like the stage
4:42
Speaker 4: on Broadways. Kind of country, but not really. And the
4:48
Speaker 4: one downside to all the bands and all the places
4:51
Speaker 4: in Nashville is they tend to end up being cover bands.
4:55
Speaker 4: There aren't a lot of well I wouldn't say there's
4:57
Speaker 4: not a lot, but it's harder to find. And a
5:00
Speaker 4: band playing their own original things, but they have that too,
5:02
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's a cool stop. Yeah, a unique stop
5:05
Speaker 4: in the NFL Chucket.
5:07
Speaker 1: Well, if you discover the next Whalon Jennings, I want
5:10
Speaker 1: to know about it. I want to be the first.
5:11
Speaker 4: Place I wouldn't have I wouldn't have an ear for that.
5:14
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have an ear for Oh God, I love Whaling.
5:17
Speaker 4: I mean I know he is, but talent wise, music wise,
5:21
Speaker 4: not down my alley. Okay, I'm bringing my wife on
5:24
Speaker 4: this trip, so it's unusual. Oh he wants to check
5:27
Speaker 4: out Nashville. So Wendy, you'll get a check. Check what
5:30
Speaker 4: it is.
5:31
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well, I know you too will have
5:33
Speaker 1: a great time. You always do, you seem to anyway,
5:37
Speaker 1: you do good photo on on on X so it
5:42
Speaker 1: always looks like the bells are just having the times
5:44
Speaker 1: of their lives. So all right, Well, let's dive into this.
5:48
Speaker 1: I just had Bud Clark. He made me work, I'll
5:51
Speaker 1: tell you that. Uh, and my conversation with him, but
5:55
Speaker 1: it did get Andrews and I wondering, just, uh, what
5:58
Speaker 1: kind of role do you expect for him as a rookie.
6:01
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be jack of all trades, moves all
6:03
Speaker 1: over the place, or do they have a specific goal
6:05
Speaker 1: in mind for Bud Clark, a specific task.
6:10
Speaker 4: That's funny. I talked to him yesterday. I was gonna
6:12
Speaker 4: hear that interview on my show today. They are seeing
6:17
Speaker 4: what he can do. They're giving him the five nicky
6:20
Speaker 4: coy tree of let's move you up a nickel, Let's
6:23
Speaker 4: put you in dime, Let's put you in big nickel
6:25
Speaker 4: against the run. Let's move you in deep safety, which
6:27
Speaker 4: he played exclusively, starting and playing three quarters more than
6:32
Speaker 4: that of the game Saturday night. So it's a little
6:34
Speaker 4: bit everything right now to seeing what he knows and
6:36
Speaker 4: McDonald's said that he's doing okay. He's got some things
6:39
Speaker 4: that he's bumping in the walls about as most rookies do.
6:43
Speaker 4: Emon Worri was supernatural and how he handled and embraced
6:47
Speaker 4: and then learned everything on the fly last year, and
6:49
Speaker 4: that's why McDonald kept giving him things, including defensive line work.
6:52
Speaker 4: By the end of the year, Clark is not, as
6:56
Speaker 4: it seems, prolific at getting every single thing down the
6:59
Speaker 4: first I'm likereamn Warri was, so I would suspect to
7:04
Speaker 4: begin the season he'll be a deep safety and a
7:07
Speaker 4: depth piece. He's gotten some time in the ones when
7:11
Speaker 4: they go extra defensive backs, but that's been largely because
7:14
Speaker 4: even Warri hasn't been on the field yet. We'll see
7:17
Speaker 4: still to be determined, and they will use him so
7:21
Speaker 4: far have been using him on special teams as well.
7:24
Speaker 1: Is there a reason why I thought he was just
7:26
Speaker 1: going to have a much bigger role more snaps Saturday
7:29
Speaker 1: than what he seemed to have. Maybe I wasn't, maybe
7:33
Speaker 1: I didn't catch them all, but he just didn't seem
7:35
Speaker 1: out there as much as I thought he would be.
7:38
Speaker 1: What should I read into that?
7:40
Speaker 4: Well, actually he played the second most snaps on the
7:42
Speaker 4: team only only Aj Finley, the guy next to him
7:46
Speaker 4: and deep safety, played more, and they both were three
7:48
Speaker 4: four snaps apart. He had a play in three plus
7:51
Speaker 4: quarters and you did notice him and I talked HI
7:54
Speaker 4: about this yesterday. You didn't notice him because Dallas didn't
7:57
Speaker 4: challenge him or even go near him on deep pass
8:00
Speaker 4: to his side. The touchdown was over Dansby's the outside
8:03
Speaker 4: left of the defense, and Clark was in the middle
8:06
Speaker 4: of the field. Most of what Dallas did in the
8:08
Speaker 4: pass game was outside, and Jean Charles was so poor
8:13
Speaker 4: that he got put on injured reserve yesterday and he's
8:16
Speaker 4: done for the season after giving up four catches and
8:19
Speaker 4: a touchdown. So Dallas didn't go didn't involve Clark in
8:24
Speaker 4: the past game, so he didn't notice the Clark's He
8:27
Speaker 4: had a couple of tackles by running up hard on
8:31
Speaker 4: the run defense, but from where he was starting twenty
8:33
Speaker 4: yards off the ball, and one of the runs he
8:35
Speaker 4: got a tackle on was a fourteen yard game.
8:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went a little low for my taste on
8:39
Speaker 1: that too.
8:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was low. The right had kind of scissored
8:45
Speaker 4: him in the head on that tackle. He was he
8:48
Speaker 4: was so far back that he wasn't a part of
8:50
Speaker 4: most of the game. I've seen him in practice with
8:53
Speaker 4: the ones and the sub packages be the more big
8:56
Speaker 4: nickel towards the line of scrimmage. But of course it
8:58
Speaker 4: all goes the way the Seahawks won, Warrior'll be on
9:00
Speaker 4: the field for the real games and Clark wouldn't be
9:02
Speaker 4: doing that role then either.
9:04
Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks Insider if you
9:06
Speaker 1: want to full coverage of the Seahawks throughout training camp,
9:08
Speaker 1: throughout the year, the News Tribune dot com, and of
9:11
Speaker 1: course you could follow Greg at g Bell Seattle on
9:15
Speaker 1: x and I'm sure other social media platforms. Tyree Knight
9:19
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring back up again. I mean, I
9:20
Speaker 1: know we talked about him a lot yesterday, but he
9:23
Speaker 1: earned that. He looked to me like the best player
9:26
Speaker 1: on the field, looked to Mike McDonald like the best
9:28
Speaker 1: player on the field on Saturday. Is there any chance
9:32
Speaker 1: that he's gonna put some serious heat on Drake Thomas
9:35
Speaker 1: for more playing time this year after what we saw Saturday?
9:39
Speaker 4: Yes, And I saw yesterday in practice that Knight was
9:43
Speaker 4: in with the ones a little more at the weekside
9:45
Speaker 4: linebacker spot than he had been before the game. That's
9:48
Speaker 4: how McDonald rolls. If you produce in games, you get
9:51
Speaker 4: a chance, And that's how Drake Thomas got his job
9:54
Speaker 4: producing when Tyres Knight was injured this time last year.
9:58
Speaker 4: So absolutely, and he wants the low room to feel
10:00
Speaker 4: that way that, hey, if you perform, we're going to
10:03
Speaker 4: give you a shot. If you do your job and
10:05
Speaker 4: we put you in and excel, you're going to get
10:07
Speaker 4: another shot. And if you don't, you're gonna be Jean Charles.
10:11
Speaker 4: You're gonna be TJ. Harden. You're gonna be Jones, the
10:14
Speaker 4: other rookie running back who both got cut yesterday. After
10:17
Speaker 4: just running into brick walls at the goal line on
10:19
Speaker 4: three straight plays. That was really not what Thomas Hammock,
10:23
Speaker 4: the running back coach, wants. Well, the one time Harden
10:27
Speaker 4: got there was Jones on his first carry of that series,
10:30
Speaker 4: their first and goal at the five. After that muff
10:31
Speaker 4: punt by the Dallas and Jones, the undrafted rookie they
10:35
Speaker 4: just had a week ago, ran outside sweep and he
10:38
Speaker 4: basically got arm tackled. You can't do that, and then
10:43
Speaker 4: Harden didn't follow the lead block, lamped a new fullback
10:47
Speaker 4: put his linebacker into the end zone and all Harden
10:52
Speaker 4: had to do was follow him into the end zone
10:54
Speaker 4: for a touchdown. And Harden bounced it outside where all
10:57
Speaker 4: there of us was sidelining Cowboys and he didn't get
10:59
Speaker 4: in so both those guys got cut yesterday. Anthony Hankerson,
11:04
Speaker 4: the former Colorado and Oregon State back, is now in
11:08
Speaker 4: a new running back. It's the bottom of the roster
11:11
Speaker 4: and it's probably not going to make a lot of
11:12
Speaker 4: people's attention, but it does get the attention of about
11:15
Speaker 4: half the locker room. It's fighting for jobs that hey man,
11:18
Speaker 4: you don't follow the blocker's supposed to. You don't hit
11:20
Speaker 4: the hole and get to the line with enough aggression,
11:23
Speaker 4: you're gone. And that cost him a touchdown. And McDonald
11:27
Speaker 4: cut those two guys for it is.
11:28
Speaker 1: The sureffs bet in football right now that John Schneider
11:31
Speaker 1: will come away with at least one running back after
11:34
Speaker 1: the cut day to start the season.
11:39
Speaker 4: It would seem like it doesn't. Maybe two or three. Actually,
11:43
Speaker 4: they're going to need more than they have and they
11:45
Speaker 4: know that. I still I keep saying it. I remember
11:48
Speaker 4: the season that covered they had eighteen different ball carriers
11:51
Speaker 4: and they brought Marshawn Lynch out of retirement on Christmas Eve.
11:55
Speaker 4: How that's how the position is. And yes, they will
11:58
Speaker 4: probably get multiple ones.
11:59
Speaker 1: And yeah, everyone listening here kind of hopes it happens again.
12:03
Speaker 1: At some point.
12:06
Speaker 4: He's smart enough now because of the playoff team, he'll
12:09
Speaker 4: wait till after January. First time he wouldn't even come
12:12
Speaker 4: for Christmas.
12:13
Speaker 1: Well. Speaking of running backs, Judarian Price, a health update
12:16
Speaker 1: on him. Will they let him practice where it sounds
12:21
Speaker 1: like it's going to get a little crazy in Nashville
12:23
Speaker 1: this week or are they gonna save him for the
12:25
Speaker 1: preseason game? What's the calendar right now for Price?
12:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the news of the day yesterday, Chuck
12:31
Speaker 4: that Price was back in not only back, but straight
12:34
Speaker 4: into the starting offense from the very first snap of practice,
12:37
Speaker 4: whoes lined up behind Sam Darnold. To me, it seems
12:41
Speaker 4: like he's now on the track to be the starter
12:43
Speaker 4: week one. Back from the upper leg sornas. He'd missed
12:47
Speaker 4: the last five previous full practices, but yesterday he was
12:51
Speaker 4: back in there. I'm expecting him to be in the
12:54
Speaker 4: joint practice on Friday and not in the game on Sunday.
12:58
Speaker 4: The reason is they can control somewhat and does get
13:01
Speaker 4: out of hand with the fighting, but they can control
13:04
Speaker 4: the tackles and the reps in the joint practice. They
13:07
Speaker 4: can't control the tackles of course in a game, so
13:09
Speaker 4: they don't truly bring they're not supposed to bring anyone
13:12
Speaker 4: to ground. In most cases in the joint practice, they do,
13:16
Speaker 4: but the coaches can blow the whistle and it stops
13:19
Speaker 4: the referees and officials. In a preseason game, of course,
13:22
Speaker 4: that bring the guy to ground. So I think Price
13:24
Speaker 4: is going to play. I think all the starters. The
13:27
Speaker 4: most extensive thing they're going to do all preseason will
13:29
Speaker 4: be Friday in Nashville. That's if it follows what McDonald's
13:33
Speaker 4: has done the first two preseasons. But the upshot is
13:37
Speaker 4: Price is back. He's fully participating and starting at the
13:41
Speaker 4: once he's not. At the beginning of camp, he was
13:43
Speaker 4: behind Halani, and now Halani's coming in behind him.
13:47
Speaker 1: Well, considering the lack of depth, I mean, he almost
13:49
Speaker 1: feels like a bubble wrap candidate. But then on the
13:52
Speaker 1: other end, he's a rookie that probably needs to get
13:55
Speaker 1: some reps out there, don't you think.
13:57
Speaker 4: Yes, it's the latter for sure. He needs to get
13:59
Speaker 4: in and messing with the offensive line that also needs
14:02
Speaker 4: to get used to him. Running the outside zone asks
14:06
Speaker 4: for a little choreography and synchronization between the back and
14:09
Speaker 4: the offensive line. It's not just go find a hole,
14:12
Speaker 4: but you have to anticipate and read, and yeah, he
14:16
Speaker 4: needs a few weeks of doing that. He probably doesn't
14:18
Speaker 4: need him in the preseason game. The other thing about
14:20
Speaker 4: the scheduling, you mentioned a timeline. They play Sunday night
14:24
Speaker 4: in Tennessee and then they have a quick turnaround Friday
14:27
Speaker 4: night in Kansas City, so they'll get back Monday, have
14:31
Speaker 4: an off day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday practice, and Thursday leave
14:35
Speaker 4: for a Friday game in Kansas City. So again that's
14:38
Speaker 4: underscores to me that all the ones the starter's action
14:42
Speaker 4: is going to be that Friday practice in Nashville.
14:45
Speaker 1: Expect first in on Mike's mind after the game Saturday
14:50
Speaker 1: was we're not sharp enough, We're not clicking, and it
14:54
Speaker 1: kind of felt like he was putting that blame on
14:57
Speaker 1: his coaches. So I'm sure they got right back to
15:00
Speaker 1: the drawing board with appeasing Mike's desires there. But is
15:06
Speaker 1: that an easy fix? Is that something that gets fixed
15:08
Speaker 1: in a day in a week?
15:09
Speaker 4: Is is that.
15:11
Speaker 1: Normal for the National Football League to have a sluggish
15:15
Speaker 1: in and out of plays kind of performance and that
15:18
Speaker 1: can get immediately rectified at practice the next week.
15:23
Speaker 4: No, it takes time. It'll take a couple more preseason games.
15:26
Speaker 4: It probably won't be exactly as he wants it, at
15:29
Speaker 4: least on offense in Week one against New England. He's
15:32
Speaker 4: got a brand new offensive coordinator who's never done this.
15:35
Speaker 4: His offensive coordinator, Brian Fleury, coached defense until twenty twenty
15:38
Speaker 4: and then Kyle Shanahan moved him over to offense, and
15:41
Speaker 4: in the last four years he's been a tight ends coach.
15:43
Speaker 4: But this is brand new to him. This is part
15:46
Speaker 4: of the Dice roll when they chose Flurry to be
15:48
Speaker 4: the new offensive coordinator. He has not done it before.
15:52
Speaker 4: In fact, he's gonna McDonald said he believes that Fleury's
15:55
Speaker 4: planned right now in Tennessee on Sunday in the second
15:57
Speaker 4: preseason game is to call plays upstair in the press
16:00
Speaker 4: box and see what that's like in the vantage point there.
16:02
Speaker 4: He was on the sidelines in the first game, and
16:05
Speaker 4: that just underscores that he's still figuring it out the defense,
16:09
Speaker 4: the communication and getting in a mcdonald'll stick that because
16:12
Speaker 4: he'll take over the play calling himself during the real games.
16:15
Speaker 4: In fact, he said he may take it over this
16:17
Speaker 4: week because he has to get ready for the regular season.
16:19
Speaker 4: He had added Dirty to it the other night, and
16:22
Speaker 4: he praised Dirty for calling the right plays and everything
16:24
Speaker 4: looked great. But suffice to say he had two brand
16:27
Speaker 4: new play callers that I think, without saying their names,
16:31
Speaker 4: that's the reason why the operation wasn't as he wanted it.
16:33
Speaker 4: The other thing was I think McDonald, knowing him as
16:36
Speaker 4: I'm starting to know him, I think he was just
16:38
Speaker 4: ornery from nothing to do Saturday night. He was just
16:41
Speaker 4: watching the game and he's still used to be more
16:43
Speaker 4: intrigately involved, and he was just kind of ticked off
16:46
Speaker 4: and still let not some steeve he'll be more involved
16:49
Speaker 4: and there'll be more to his laking this week.
16:53
Speaker 1: All right, Well, what else we got on the show today?
16:56
Speaker 1: At ten o'clock? You know, still go with the Bud Clark.
16:59
Speaker 1: It's good, But what else were we going to do today?
17:01
Speaker 1: At ten o'clock you're.
17:02
Speaker 4: Gonna hear from Devin Witherspoon explaining the contract and how
17:06
Speaker 4: he says, yeah, you know, it's real that I'm now
17:08
Speaker 4: the richest cornerback in the NFL at least still. Christian
17:11
Speaker 4: Gonzalze signs his deal and that he says he put
17:15
Speaker 4: it that's not fake and his cornerback. Buddy's a defensive back.
17:20
Speaker 4: Buddy's already saying it's time for him to start buying.
17:23
Speaker 4: Apparently Witherspoon is notoriously cheap in the locker room. They
17:27
Speaker 4: get on him about wearing clothes from when he was
17:29
Speaker 4: in high school twenty five and so Julian Love and
17:34
Speaker 4: the guys, they're challenging Witherspoon to step up in his
17:39
Speaker 4: fruguolness now that he's the richest cornerback in the league.
17:41
Speaker 4: You'll hear from him at eleven.
17:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's an expectation. I
17:46
Speaker 1: think that's fair.
17:48
Speaker 4: That should be part. Yes, I the parcel of signing
17:50
Speaker 4: the deal.
17:51
Speaker 1: I could give I could be given like a thirty
17:53
Speaker 1: dollars raise, which I haven't been. I can given a
17:57
Speaker 1: thirty dollars raise, and I think I'd go buy something
17:59
Speaker 1: with it. I don't think i'd say it. So that's
18:04
Speaker 1: exactly got to celebrate.
18:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what That's what Billian Loved expecting for sure.
18:09
Speaker 4: For sure.
18:10
Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll be listening at ten, Thank you sir.
18:13
Speaker 4: All right, Happy Tuesday, Thank you.
18:15
Speaker 1: Right, Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider joining us right here
18:17
Speaker 1: on Chuck in the mornings, and yes, you can follow
18:20
Speaker 1: Matchie bel Seattle and of course the News Tribune dot
18:23
Speaker 1: Com joins us every Saturday at seven oh five thanks
18:26
Speaker 1: to the Emerald Queen Casino, So we appreciate it. I
18:30
Speaker 1: was just here in this morning. That's now that Witherspoon
18:33
Speaker 1: because he just didn't take necessarily the next brick in
18:36
Speaker 1: the road, right, that was supposed to be thirty one million,
18:39
Speaker 1: and he got up to thirty three million. Yeah, So
18:41
Speaker 1: the agent apparently feeling himself right now that you know
18:45
Speaker 1: he got.
18:46
Speaker 2: Steeven, get Gonzalz more than.
18:48
Speaker 1: That, right, Well, apparently he's planning to get a lot more.
18:51
Speaker 1: Really that if the Patriots think that Gonzalez is just
18:55
Speaker 1: going to take thirty three five or thirty four, they're
18:58
Speaker 1: out of their minds. And Zales man, he's special, Yeah,
19:02
Speaker 1: I mean Witherspoon special. Gonzales might be the best cover
19:06
Speaker 1: corner in the National Football League. And I think coverage standpoint,
19:10
Speaker 1: might not be able to do all the things that
19:12
Speaker 1: Spoon could do, but from a coverage standpoint, he's better
19:15
Speaker 1: than Spoon. Yeah, And so he they're like, if you
19:19
Speaker 1: think for a second, we're just going to take the
19:22
Speaker 1: next brick in the road on this guy, you're out
19:24
Speaker 1: of your mind. So the Patriots could be looking at
19:26
Speaker 1: a bit of an extended sort of angered negotiation here
19:32
Speaker 1: because it sounds like Gonzalez wants to break the bank.
19:34
Speaker 2: Well, and how much happier do you feel as a
19:36
Speaker 2: Seahawks fan.
19:36
Speaker 3: I know we're not in the business of, you know,
19:39
Speaker 3: trying to keep players from getting you know, those huge contracts,
19:43
Speaker 3: but you know, in a salary cap sport, it matters, right,
19:45
Speaker 3: how much happier are you now that Witherspoon was the
19:48
Speaker 3: one to get it done first.
19:50
Speaker 1: In the barn exactly? Yeah, Hey, he's in the barn,
19:52
Speaker 1: and that's a comforting feeling. And even if you had
19:54
Speaker 1: to pay a little bit more than what you'd originally
19:56
Speaker 1: designed to pay. I mean this, there are so much
20:00
Speaker 1: many sports fans that are just like, just pay him. Well,
20:04
Speaker 1: it doesn't work that way. I mean, you have, especially
20:07
Speaker 1: in these leagues, you have a cap, and you've got
20:11
Speaker 1: to figure out how to make the best team under
20:14
Speaker 1: those restrictions. And and yes, you have to fight for
20:19
Speaker 1: that million because you might be able to use that
20:22
Speaker 1: on somebody else. It might be what it's not that
20:24
Speaker 1: you're going to get a player for a million dollars now,
20:27
Speaker 1: but it might be the million dollars you need to
20:29
Speaker 1: sign somebody else later down the line, later down the line.
20:32
Speaker 1: So there's an art to it, and John does it tremendously,
20:37
Speaker 1: and I think that maybe he did give up more
20:39
Speaker 1: than he was wanting to give up. But you got
20:42
Speaker 1: your guy, you know you wanted your guy, and like
20:45
Speaker 1: Anders said, you know it's over. And so there's some
20:48
Speaker 1: comfort in that. Hayes and the barn Spoon's going to
20:50
Speaker 1: be a Sea Hawk for at least the next five years,
20:52
Speaker 1: and we're going to get the prime of his National
20:54
Speaker 1: Football League career. ABC's of the M's coming your way

21:23
Speaker 5: Sunset and people do like that quite a morning. I
21:33
Speaker 5: think our I think our boss wants to like punch me.
21:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just like you wanted to punch the door.
21:39
Speaker 4: I did.
21:41
Speaker 1: Like it's all bruised. I think it's gonna get bruised.
21:44
Speaker 2: Just another wrinkle.
21:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. I made a lot of racket out there, and
21:48
Speaker 1: finally our boss heard it. But I think he was
21:50
Speaker 1: like wanting to skin alive the person on the other side.
21:54
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Uh and uh and that guy's had a
21:58
Speaker 1: scrap or two in his life, by the way. Really yeah, oh,
22:02
Speaker 1: I need to hear those stories. I'll tell you a
22:04
Speaker 1: little bit about that break. And then I had to
22:08
Speaker 1: just run past them. I you need to get on there.
22:12
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, exactly. Let's get to the ABC's of
22:16
Speaker 1: the MS. As we do this every day. It's Andrew's
22:20
Speaker 1: favorite segment, let's face it. Yes, absolutely we left off
22:23
Speaker 1: of the letter JA Yesterday Jays for Juice. I sure hope,
22:28
Speaker 1: I sure hope we get there. I thought that was
22:31
Speaker 1: a pretty good weekend series with the Houston Astros in
22:33
Speaker 1: terms of energy, even though Houston didn't exactly sell the
22:36
Speaker 1: place out, but the rivalry what was sort of at
22:40
Speaker 1: stake for the Mariners. There was an element of urgency,
22:43
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of juice, no doubt, to
22:45
Speaker 1: the to the series this weekend, but to feel that
22:49
Speaker 1: real like playoff energy, that playoff juice before the playoffs
22:53
Speaker 1: get there. Obviously, we got a lot of work to do.
22:55
Speaker 1: The Mariners have a lot of work to do to
22:57
Speaker 1: get there and to have some really meaning like playoff
23:02
Speaker 1: atmospheres down the stretch. But boy, can I tell you
23:06
Speaker 1: it's started. It has started. If anyone saw any of
23:10
Speaker 1: the Cubs White Sox.
23:11
Speaker 2: Game last night with Luis Castillo.
23:13
Speaker 1: On the mound for the White Sox and he gave
23:15
Speaker 1: up homers in the first two batters, by the way,
23:18
Speaker 1: that energy, because it's been twenty years since both the
23:21
Speaker 1: Cubs and the Socks have been good at the same time.
23:24
Speaker 1: Right and south side. Northside Cub fans are the famous ones.
23:30
Speaker 1: Southsiders White Sox fans roll their eyes at Cubs fans
23:35
Speaker 1: because they just think they're like labradors, right, like they're
23:38
Speaker 1: just gonna lap up Cubs baseball where they feel like
23:41
Speaker 1: they have a more discerning like you're gonna have to
23:44
Speaker 1: earn my You're gonna have to earn my two dollars, Yeah,
23:48
Speaker 1: to earn my love. I'm just not gonna show up
23:50
Speaker 1: because it's fun to get drunk and sing Harry Carey songs.
23:54
Speaker 1: So that's sort of the mentality of a White Sox fan.
23:57
Speaker 1: White Sox fans are great baseball fans, so when they're good,
24:01
Speaker 1: and they're good, and they have been terrible long and
24:07
Speaker 1: for a long time. And they made the track across
24:11
Speaker 1: to the North side. It was probably sixty forty seventy thirty,
24:16
Speaker 1: still Cubs fans, but the White Sox fans were there present,
24:20
Speaker 1: and that was one of the best baseball games of
24:22
Speaker 1: the entire year. What a show they put on, and
24:26
Speaker 1: from beginning to end it was playoff atmosphere. It was fantastic.
24:30
Speaker 1: That's the juice you're looking for in a baseball season.
24:32
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that was the World Series? That would
24:35
Speaker 2: be freaking awesome.
24:36
Speaker 1: There could be criminal activity, and they don't like each other,
24:41
Speaker 1: it's conceivable that could happen, too.
24:43
Speaker 2: Like, both those teams are good.
24:45
Speaker 1: Now now they have to like each other due to
24:47
Speaker 1: the gree because they're all Bears fans and they're all
24:49
Speaker 1: Bulls fans. Yeah, yeah, But when it comes to like
24:52
Speaker 1: the baseball loyalty, White Sox fans think Cubs fans are idiots,
24:57
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and Cubs fans think why Sox fans are
25:01
Speaker 1: just losers. Yeah, And so that's the dynamic that takes
25:04
Speaker 1: place between the two. But when you put it together
25:07
Speaker 1: and they're both good and they have something to play
25:09
Speaker 1: for because it's just an L train away to go
25:12
Speaker 1: to the other stadium, man, can they put on a show?
25:16
Speaker 1: And they did last night and it ends with a
25:18
Speaker 1: PCA walk off. He started the game with a homer
25:20
Speaker 1: and he ended the game with it and that sealed
25:22
Speaker 1: thirty thirty season for him as well. Yeah yeah, and
25:26
Speaker 1: maybe put a leg up in the MVP race. But
25:28
Speaker 1: then again, show I had four it's and two omers
25:30
Speaker 1: last night. Kay is for katl Uh. This is a
25:35
Speaker 1: really disturbing story here. Katel Marte did not show up.
25:39
Speaker 1: Now he's had some issues obviously with the Diamondbacks here recently.
25:43
Speaker 1: But Torri Lavalo, their manager, was in tears after the
25:47
Speaker 1: game last night over concern for kateel Marte. He just
25:52
Speaker 1: didn't show up. And I don't know who it was
25:56
Speaker 1: that was interviewing Lavalo, but she was fantastic. Yes, she
25:59
Speaker 1: was asking the exact questions she needed to ask, and
26:03
Speaker 1: he was answering the best he could. He obviously couldn't
26:06
Speaker 1: tell us everything, but there was genuine concern that Lavolo
26:12
Speaker 1: had for his star player. Could tell Marte and Kutel's
26:17
Speaker 1: had some issues in the past, as we know, So
26:21
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going on there, and it didn't
26:23
Speaker 1: look like anybody in the Diamondbacks really does. But something's
26:26
Speaker 1: happening and could tell Marte's personal life that is making
26:31
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks nervous.
26:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's sad because he is He's still having a
26:37
Speaker 6: pretty good year.
26:38
Speaker 1: Ye, not as good, but he's having a good year.
26:41
Speaker 3: Super talented player, has been top five in MVP voting
26:44
Speaker 3: multiple times now in the National League. And you know,
26:48
Speaker 3: there's a lot of talk about stuff happening last year
26:51
Speaker 3: with the fan interactions and everything, and you know, he
26:53
Speaker 3: was very had an emotional reaction to that. So I'm
26:57
Speaker 3: not even gonna try and speculate and what's happening now, because,
27:00
Speaker 3: like you said, it seems like a very serious issue.
27:03
Speaker 3: So I hope everything gets worked out because I always
27:05
Speaker 3: love watching play baseball.
27:06
Speaker 1: Oh, it's so much fun, so much fun to watch. Yeah,
27:08
Speaker 1: he was here when he was just a skinny little kid, exactly.
27:11
Speaker 1: I enjoyed watching him play, and Elle is for leak.
27:15
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale reporting yesterday that Dan Wilson is out if
27:20
Speaker 1: they don't make the playoffs. I mean, obviously I feel
27:25
Speaker 1: that's a fair expectation. Then again, I think he should
27:30
Speaker 1: already be out.
27:31
Speaker 3: Well, that's the question I have, is like if it
27:33
Speaker 3: takes missing the playoffs and a season where you should
27:36
Speaker 3: be challenging for the World Series to figure out that
27:39
Speaker 3: this guy may not mean not even that, Like, yes,
27:42
Speaker 3: we all have our different blame pies for where the
27:45
Speaker 3: Mariners are at right now, but at some point you
27:48
Speaker 3: have to have some sense of urgency. And that was
27:50
Speaker 3: my whole thing with, you know, possibly making a change
27:53
Speaker 3: at the coaching position, because even if you don't blame
27:57
Speaker 3: Dan Wilson for everything that's going on, or even the
27:59
Speaker 3: majority already of it on Dan Wilson, changing in manager
28:03
Speaker 3: doesn't always mean like, oh, this guy's way over his
28:05
Speaker 3: skis and he's the reason why we're losing, right It's
28:09
Speaker 3: to kind of send a message number one and number two, like,
28:12
Speaker 3: especially with the relationships he has, why hasn't that happened earlier?
28:16
Speaker 3: So that's where I would be a little frustrated if
28:20
Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, because we missed the playoffs, now we
28:22
Speaker 3: can get rid of him sort of thing.
28:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I think this was too valuable of a season. Yes,
28:29
Speaker 1: it was too valuable of a season for you to
28:32
Speaker 1: stick with JP Crawford's defense if you thought Colt Emerson
28:37
Speaker 1: could step up and improve that area. It was also
28:41
Speaker 1: too important of a season to keep Colt Emerson on
28:45
Speaker 1: the field when he was struggling, When he was struggling
28:48
Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively. We're not just going to stand
28:51
Speaker 1: on ceremony here. We we need to win this year.
28:55
Speaker 1: I mean this was This was more than any year
28:58
Speaker 1: since I've been here, where every single person that I
29:02
Speaker 1: spoke with in spring training said it's about winning the
29:05
Speaker 1: World Series and nothing else. And so I would think
29:09
Speaker 1: that you held this season precious and valuable and were
29:12
Speaker 1: willing to do anything to save it, including fire a
29:16
Speaker 1: lovable manager, organizationally and in the clubhouse, in order to
29:23
Speaker 1: get the right kind of response on the baseball field
29:26
Speaker 1: to what needs to get done. We finally started playing
29:29
Speaker 1: it felt like to me like passionate, urgent baseball this
29:34
Speaker 1: past weekend for the first time this entire year. There
29:37
Speaker 1: was definitely a difference, Yes, and the way that they played. Now,
29:40
Speaker 1: part of that was having Donovan Rodden and Roblaze in
29:42
Speaker 1: the lineup because they're fears. Yeah, but there was a
29:47
Speaker 1: different edge to it. Why did it take four and
29:48
Speaker 1: a half months. Why did it take being nine games
29:51
Speaker 1: out of under five hundred, six games out of first
29:53
Speaker 1: place in order to create that edge? I think they
29:56
Speaker 1: could have created that edge sooner. So I'm with you.
30:01
Speaker 1: I mean, that's my base expectation to be punished for
30:06
Speaker 1: being the guy in charge of the most disappointing team
30:10
Speaker 1: in the fifty year history of marin Or baseball. That's
30:14
Speaker 1: that's my lowest expectation. If you really wanted to send
30:19
Speaker 1: a message of we're a championship team, We're a championship
30:23
Speaker 1: organization right now, that is all we're determined to be,
30:27
Speaker 1: then you don't sit around and let a team fumble,
30:30
Speaker 1: fart around for four and a half months, waste your
30:33
Speaker 1: best roster you've had since two thousand and one, and
30:36
Speaker 1: not do anything to change the dynamic. So yeah, I
30:42
Speaker 1: hear you loud and clear. If it ends up being
30:45
Speaker 1: a failure, and a failure this year is not winning
30:48
Speaker 1: the World Series. That's not a failure. That's a hard
30:51
Speaker 1: thing to do. I don't care if it's taking fifty years.
30:54
Speaker 1: This is a hard thing to do. But if you
30:56
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs with this team, that is a
30:58
Speaker 1: complete failure. And whoever is in charge of the daily
31:01
Speaker 1: operation of that needs to go. And I'm not talking
31:05
Speaker 1: about the president, and I'm not talking about the general manager.
31:08
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the guy whose simple job is get
31:11
Speaker 1: the most out of the talent we've given you. That
31:14
Speaker 1: is his overarching job. And if you miss the playoffs
31:19
Speaker 1: entirely in a year where the entire American League is
31:24
Speaker 1: basically ushering you into the playoffs with the best roster
31:29
Speaker 1: you say you've had in your eleven years in the
31:34
Speaker 1: Depoto era. Oh man, of course you're getting fired. Yeah,
31:39
Speaker 1: of course the manager is getting fired in that situation.
31:43
Speaker 1: And of course I already feel like it should have
31:45
Speaker 1: been done. All right, Coming up next, Yes, we got
31:49
Speaker 1: a lot more to ground to cover, and I guess
31:51
Speaker 1: it's going to be Anders and I that will have
31:53
Speaker 1: to cover it. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.

33:02
Speaker 1: to be one with nature.
33:04
Speaker 2: That just sounds very comfortable.
33:05
Speaker 1: You ever slept in a hammock before?
33:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice.
33:09
Speaker 1: It actually is not.
33:11
Speaker 2: You don't like it like I like it?
33:12
Speaker 1: Okay, but like you're not supposed to be in a
33:15
Speaker 1: hammock for more than like a nap in the afternoon.
33:18
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeahah underneath a shade. Sure, that's how it's
33:22
Speaker 1: supposed to work. But I have a buddy of mine
33:24
Speaker 1: and he has a this place on the ocean in
33:28
Speaker 1: San Diego, and so about twice per year he'd gathered
33:33
Speaker 1: the gang together and we would go out to his
33:36
Speaker 1: place in San Diego, and everybody who's all you get
33:40
Speaker 1: the guys together, they're always fighting over like there was
33:43
Speaker 1: like one extra bed, and there's the couch and everything else. Well,
33:48
Speaker 1: no one would say so I would claim the hammock
33:51
Speaker 1: because nobody else would claim the hammock, and they thought
33:54
Speaker 1: I was crazy because it's right there on the ocean,
33:57
Speaker 1: so it gets pretty cold at night right there on
33:59
Speaker 1: the ocean a little bit.
34:01
Speaker 4: You know.
34:01
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it. So it made everything
34:05
Speaker 1: easy because no one was fighting over anything else. And
34:07
Speaker 1: I'm like, I would just I got the hammock because
34:09
Speaker 1: nobody else wanted it. But man, I really enjoy just
34:13
Speaker 1: that ocean banging banging against the shore and that ocean breeze.
34:20
Speaker 1: M Yeah, but I will say six hours straight in
34:25
Speaker 1: one of those things, and you do have to work
34:27
Speaker 1: out some kinks in the morning. I mean, even thinking
34:30
Speaker 1: about it makes my next step I don't know if
34:35
Speaker 1: Ashley is going to be in a hammock. She's in Hawaii.
34:37
Speaker 1: So here's what I have done. I've slept in a
34:39
Speaker 1: hammock for better than six hours in San Diego. I
34:43
Speaker 1: have never been to Hawaii. It is the biggest embarrassment
34:47
Speaker 1: of my entire life.
34:48
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, never been.
34:50
Speaker 6: You're pretty well traveled too, like, uh, okay, i'd say
34:54
Speaker 6: you are okay, I've seen anything told, Yeah, I've seen
34:57
Speaker 6: some things. Yeah, but I've never been to Hawaii, and
35:01
Speaker 6: not without wanting. It's not like one of those things,
35:03
Speaker 6: like it's not high on my list right, It's like
35:06
Speaker 6: as high as anything on my list. But for some
35:08
Speaker 6: reason I can't put together a trip like it just
35:13
Speaker 6: never comes together. And so yeah, I still yet to go.
35:18
Speaker 6: I mean even I mean Softie goes every year and.
35:20
Speaker 1: He's like where to stay, where to eat? Yeah, you
35:23
Speaker 1: know you didn't come out with Jane on I well
35:25
Speaker 1: take you around town. I don't know if he ever
35:27
Speaker 1: went that far.
35:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think he wants me there.
35:31
Speaker 2: He doesn't want anyone there.
35:32
Speaker 3: He doesn't want any remnant of work when he goes
35:35
Speaker 3: to Hawaii, but he does want.
35:36
Speaker 1: Me to experience. Why it bothers them that I have,
35:39
Speaker 1: It bothers me that you haven't. I think it bothers
35:41
Speaker 1: a lot of people when I tell them at age
35:43
Speaker 1: fifty five as American, I have never been to.
35:46
Speaker 3: A staple for me, you know, not every year, but
35:49
Speaker 3: every couple of years for sure.
35:50
Speaker 1: Right.
35:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.
35:51
Speaker 1: Did your family take you though?
35:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I see that's just it.
35:54
Speaker 1: Like my family never traveled. All the traveling I've done
35:57
Speaker 1: had to be after I was out of it.
36:00
Speaker 3: But I've gone a couple of times just me and
36:01
Speaker 3: I took my wife right before we had our baby,
36:05
Speaker 3: kind of our last trip before.
36:06
Speaker 2: It was with with just the two of us last
36:08
Speaker 2: year and it was awesome.
36:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, where do you go?
36:11
Speaker 3: I got a Conopoli, So it's the other it's Maui,
36:14
Speaker 3: but it's the other side of the island that Softy
36:16
Speaker 3: goes to. He goes to uh Wailea, which is the
36:18
Speaker 3: kind of the north side of the east side or
36:20
Speaker 3: something like that.
36:20
Speaker 1: Fain goes every year too. Yeah, you know, it's awesome.
36:24
Speaker 1: Fane's got that Faine family money though, you know. Yeah,
36:30
Speaker 1: talk about a guy who travels, he's always somewhere.
36:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's probably a son that's so good at
36:36
Speaker 3: golf that maybe makes the money for the whole family.
36:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know, but yeah, we were never
36:43
Speaker 1: going to travel, like for us, like traveling to like
36:48
Speaker 1: but falto Illinois was like yeah, it was like an event. Yeah,
36:55
Speaker 1: and I think that it has a lot to do
36:57
Speaker 1: with it, Like away you were raised, if it is
37:00
Speaker 1: ingrained in you that hey, families travel, people travel. I
37:04
Speaker 1: mean I did it because I had to break outside
37:07
Speaker 1: of that that box, that stuffy box, so I started traveling.
37:12
Speaker 1: But yeah, had I been nurtured to this is an expectation.
37:18
Speaker 1: You have to see points A, B and C. Yeah,
37:21
Speaker 1: but no, I was nurtured to. Going to Grandmall's was
37:24
Speaker 1: a trip.
37:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Well four to five says here, and I
37:28
Speaker 3: completely agree with this. Leaving tomorrow for Hawaii, check out
37:30
Speaker 3: the Costco booking for Hawaii. We have done it a
37:32
Speaker 3: few times. It's super easy, super nice. I actually did
37:34
Speaker 3: that for our last trip. It's like basically you get
37:36
Speaker 3: the whole package. It includes fight, hotel, stay, everything, and
37:40
Speaker 3: they just take care. It's great, it's awesome and it's
37:42
Speaker 3: a good deal too.
37:43
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it.
37:43
Speaker 2: Do it it's come on, shot, say that, but you.
37:45
Speaker 1: Never know what's gonna happen. But uh, yes, it's high
37:49
Speaker 1: on the priority list. For being high on for being
37:52
Speaker 1: high on a priority list, it's not a priority. It's
37:55
Speaker 1: obviously not a priority. It's probably the biggest failure of
37:58
Speaker 1: my entire life. How high of a priority it's been,
38:02
Speaker 1: and haven't been able to pull it off because I
38:04
Speaker 1: have another high priority, which is becoming a novelist, like
38:08
Speaker 1: full time making enough money that that's what I do for.
38:10
Speaker 3: You've still written books, and I've written books, but you
38:13
Speaker 3: haven't done to Hawaii.
38:14
Speaker 1: But that said, that's not as easy to do as
38:16
Speaker 1: booking a flight in a hotel exactly. So yes, I mean,
38:20
Speaker 1: in terms of the scale of failure, not being to
38:24
Speaker 1: Hawaii is probably my biggest failure in life. All right,
38:28
Speaker 1: Coming down next on the radio program, there are a
38:31
Speaker 1: few stories about the Mariners that a lot of people
38:34
Speaker 1: were discussing yesterday. I mean, it was like trending. One
38:37
Speaker 1: of those stories was about the Jesse Rogers report, and
38:42
Speaker 1: he's been covering baseball for a long time, used to
38:45
Speaker 1: be exclusively Chicago, but I think he's a national guy now,
38:48
Speaker 1: suggesting that the Mariners are going to make big off
38:51
Speaker 1: season changes this winter. We'll talk about sports. Radio ninety
