• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I think we're in like the We're going to the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Hangover.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Is that what it is?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I think it's I don't think that's Tuesday.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: That's not it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: That's not it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: All right, speaking the super Bowl, so Calalmate Casino is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: our sponsor for all of our playoff covers. Big thanks
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to them. Big shout out to so Colalma Casino. We got,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we got, We're gonna do. I mentioned this to Mark
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: in our elongated cross talk a little while ago, that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: we are we're gonna do something kind of fun, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: we were gonna do this heading into the playoffs. But
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: this is actually better because we get the week off
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to do it now as opposed to then. So last spring,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: at various times right after Sam Donald was signed, we
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: had Sam on our show. Stunning actually that we had
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: him on our show for a lot of reasons, mostly.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Not because of our is her she gets everyone.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: She gets everyone. Oh guys, no, no, it's it's speaking.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I think there's I'm gonna take I'm gonna take people
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: behind the curtain for a second. We have this weird
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: system here at this radio station, which I've never seen
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: before in the previous two stops before I got here.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: It's a race to the email. If you want to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: get a guest on whoever emails the group first gets priority.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It's like and some of us Softy are at Ashley
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: are on email and stuff all the time. Twenty four
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: steps right. So it's like, you know, Sam Don on
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the side's.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Gonna say, it can't be pretty funny, like it's something
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: happens in a game.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: If something happens, you look at it and I don't know, listen,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm just I should probably be more passionate
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: about it and care more. I'm more interested in just
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: looking at like the multiple I guess listen to first.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Somehow we got Sam Donald on though we had the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: first interview with Sam Darnal on the radio station. That
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: was the point and I don't want to make And
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: when we talked to him, I thought, all year ago, God,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you know, there's probably stuff in there as a year
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: progressed as he got better and the team was on
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a roll, and you know, marching towards first the playoffs
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and the then maybe a division title and then oh
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: my god, the top seed and now in the super Bowl. Well,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: let's go back and revisit some of the stuff that
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Sam said when we had him on the station for
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the very first time here after he signed. So just
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: went back and found that. So we're going to have
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that coming up in the second segment. Also two other guys.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So so Jaron Reid and I thought, we've heard this
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a lot and I've brought it up a lot of times.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: What about this group is different and special? And I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: think we saw it all of us that cover the team, past, present, future, whatever.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: What's different about this team? Because one thing I noticed
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it was different. Is it in the past like OTAs
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that are not man guys don't go or they skip
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: or they're only there. You know on occasion that's not
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the case. In fact, on yesterday, it was yesterday somebody
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: asked it might have been it might have been Hawk blogger,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: but somebody asked Mike McDonald yesterday about the participation they
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: got from day one in off season workouts and basically
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: kind of the buy in, like the buy in for
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: these guys. And so we're gonna hear Jared Reid talk
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: about that interesting few months later because it comes full
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: circle and you know, at the time we're pumping it up.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: His is really cool. I remember I just having covered
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: zillion OTAs in mini camps over the years mid Caamp.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I keep bring up mini camp. Mini camp most of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the time is mandatory, right, OTAs are not. And I
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: just know that when we would be going out there,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: especially you know, we were their partner and their TV partner.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: We had to do a bunch of stuff and there's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of time the guys that guys aren't there.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: That's fine, whatever, Dudes just don't go. Why would this
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It's not mandatory, do your thing. They were all there
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: this year, I mean ten to eleven and twelve year veterans.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Nuosu was still going through rehab. He was still out
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: there on the field walking around. Guys were there. There's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a buy in that Mike McDonald got from these guys
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and it paid off in top seed super Bowl appearance,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. Lea from Jerren Rey coming up
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and then DeMarcus Loris Lawrence and looking down the cut
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that just found I think this is an interesting one
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and we'll set it up in a second. But there
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: were people despite the nine we'll call it a nine
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and a half win season last year because the last
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: game was the Rams mailed it in.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just say nine and seven like it was
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: a sixteen game season.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah they're nine and seven. Yeah still good season, Yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: good season. But there are a lot of people thinking
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: when they're getting rid of Gino, getting rid of DK
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: aging some aging guys on the defensive line, there's you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: what are they gonna do for wide receivers? All they're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: bringing Cup in? He's old, he's just this is kind
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of like a farewell tour there. I think the term
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: was used. Nobody ever likes to say rebuild, but maybe
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: retool was used along the way.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: That's just a softening.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It's a total softening of rebuild. So anyway, we'll play
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that coming up. It'll be kind of fun. Next segment,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: we'll get to all that and just gonna revis it
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: words how this basically how this team got to where
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: they are today, and that is the Super Bowl, which
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you can hear right here a nine three point three
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: k DFIM with the great Kevin Harlan. Okay, I want
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to get to just this real fast. Oh what I do?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Did you give away?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I gave him?
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Didn't?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Happy? Yeah, it's happy? But I did read that thrills Okay,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I no, I did read it. Okay, So Rick grizz
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: is retiring speaking a happy nothing's better than hearing the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: happy totals at the end of a Mariners win from
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Rick Riz. Rick Riz is retiring after the season. That
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: came out just a couple hours ago. I laughed because
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that was one of the things. The sprint to get Rick.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Everyone's going to get Rick on multiple times this year,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and rightfully so we'll get them on before the start
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of the season. And we just saw Rick last the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: three of us just saw Rick last week, last week Thursday.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Listen the voices of our city in sports over the years,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we have been blessed. And I think most cities would
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: probably say the same thing. But I can tell you
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: from working in other cities and other markets. You can
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: say it, but it doesn't necessarily make it true. Our
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: baseball team, for the most part, hasn't been good over
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: its first forty nine years. They just haven't but one
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: thing that but now they are so good, not ripping
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: on the current version, but by and large, a lot
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: more losing than winning. But you know what we always
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: had winning wise, was the broadcast, and for thirty four
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: years it was Dave nee House. For not forty one
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: consecutive years it was Rick because Rick did a little
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: quick hiatus to Detroit and then came back. But for
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the most part, Rick Riz has been here for I mean,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: think about it all, but what eight years?
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Ken Wilson was the first partner for Dave, and then
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it was Rick, and then Rick Leftrick quickly came back.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Rick Riz and Dave Neehouse the voices of Summer in Seattle.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: That's who they were. We get a farewell tour for Rick,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: which is awesome. We didn't get that with Dave because
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: he passed away in November in the offseason decade ago,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I guess now, right, and so we didn't get that
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: with Dave, which is unfortunate. We will get that with Rick,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: which is great. He turned seventy two. He's still passionate
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: about the game. Two things about Rick Riz. One I
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: mentioned you know, there's a lot of cities that say
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: they got the We have been blessed with great voices
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: here for those old enough, remember Bob Blackburn, the original
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: voice of the Sonics, was sensational. And I remember when
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: some guy named Kevin Clodro came in and started doing games,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: eventually replacing him. There was a lot of us. I'm saying,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: us me included. They were like, well, what are we doing? Man,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Who is this guy from Indiana? What are we doing?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It's Bob Blackburn. Bob's a legend.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Bob.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: He was going to retire, and Kevin came in and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: took it to just a new level of greatness. Is
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: what Kevin Cloudber did. It took it at a level
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: of greatness. And you know our basketball. Those two guys
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: were phenomenal, Bob first and then Casey after that, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: then the two baseball guys I mentioned. The original voice
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: of the Seahawks was a guy by the name of Pete Gross.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Very unique, high pitched voice, but phenomenal, really good at
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: what he did. And back then there was things like
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: blackout rules and different things, and you would actually listen
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: to NFL games on the radio sometimes, I mean they
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: were still on TV for the most part, would still
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: find yourself listening to a lot of good Pete was sensational,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: absolutely sensational. The Original Sounders, the original broadcaster for the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Original Sounders is a College Football Hall of Famer by
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the name of Bob Robertson. Bob was in the voice
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: of the Cougars forever and went into the College Football
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame as a broadcaster. That's all you need
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to say there. The Huskies longtime voice is also in
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the College Football Hall of Fame, Bob Rondo. Both of
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: those guys both schools Hall of Fame broadcasters and rightfully so.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And then the Kraken went out and hired the best
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: play by play guy in hockey and John Forzeland period
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: of a story. So we've been really lucky here and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: now we're having one of those guys step down after
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: this year, but doing it on his own terms, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: that's the best thing. But Rick Riz is the voice
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: of summer here. I think we're gonna miss him. I
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: know I will miss him. Yes, and yes they're on
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a competing radio station. I get that. Understand that. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: never thought about the radio station. I just thought about
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the voice, and the voice being Rick is goodbye baseball,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: happy totals. That was Dave, I know, but he does
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: every now and then, yeah, if it's a big one
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: or a Grand Slam. The first Yeah, the first grand
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Slam that someone hit after Dave passed away. He had
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: an iconic call using Dave's co which would just bring
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: tears to your eyes. But Rick Griz know this He
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: does a lot in the community with his toys, his
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: toy drive, which I have great respect for. I think
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it's important if you have a platform to try to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: use that. And Rick does uh and he does it
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: himself with a passion. And some people do stuff and
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: they kind of everyone else says the work, that's not Rick,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: That's what Rick is. I know, Rick for a fact
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: does a lot of the heavy lifting with that, which
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: says a lot about who Rickraz is. He's our voice
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: of the summer, has been our voice of the summer,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and we get a whole final summer for us to
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: pay tribute to him and listen to him and joy
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: him call games. But for many of you, you haven't
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: been lucky enough like we have to meet him, get
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: to know him, or talk to him. When you hear
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Rick Riz on the on the radio, he comes across
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: as one of the nicest human beings on the planet. Well,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: guess what he is one of the nicest human beings
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: on the planet. He is. He is one of the
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: nicest human beings on the planet. Uh is as down
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: to earth as there is. We had we mentioned a
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: little happy already had last week with the media and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the lot off the record with the Poto and Wilson
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and Hollander and some Mariner's front office people and uh
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and and Rick was there holding court, but also just
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: one of us, like we I he told me a
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: great story. We're talking about, you know, doing various play
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: by play and things like that. He's done some football
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and and I've done some baseball, and and you know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: he was he's asking me about doing hockey play by play,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: and you know, I was telling him a great respect
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I had for him doing baseball. I think base everywhere
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: all of this anyways, done play by play thinks something
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: else is harder, right. A lot of people say hockey
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: is the hardest one. Hockey, to me is the easiest one.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Baseball to me is hard because not on TV. TV's easy.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Baseball and radio is hard. You have to have such
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a vast knowledge storytelling ability, know things and be able
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to fill time. And Rick does it better than anybody.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: With one possible exception, his name would have been Dave.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: They were head and they were right there, just unbelievable.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: And I just and we had a great conversation about
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: that and some other stuff in media, in the media world,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and I just you know, those are the conversations I'm
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: gonna cherish. I've always cherished the fact personally that you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: when I got to this market, Rick from day one
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: was awesome to me. He knew who my dad was
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: from his day's anchoring and stuff, so that that helped
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: both with both him and Dave. The house comes up,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, that's that's me. But Rick was
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the same way. Those guys We've been really lucky, been
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: really lucky in this town. Rondo, Robertson, Casey, I mean,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Pete Gross, It's just the list goes on knee. House though,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and Riz are different. And you know why they're different,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: because baseball on the radio is special. It's the sport
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: on the radio. And we're sitting here in a radio studio,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: but baseball on the radio is special. It's just different.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: It's soothing. It's something that probably translates better than a
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: lot of sports on the radio.
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: Do.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Now, if you're doing your job as a play by
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: play person, then whatever you're calling should translate over the radio.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: You should have a visualization, you should be able to
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: see how things are looking and playing out. That isn't
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the case with everyone, but on baseball, Rick gives you that,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: and Dave certainly did too, So we're gonna miss Rick Riz.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I'm glad he's gonna retire on his own terms. I'm
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: glad he's gonna walk out and give us one more
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: year where we can say goodbye and thank you, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: then the next two steps, Yes, win a World Series
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: for him. That'd be awesome because we didn't get that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: for Dave and number two. Tim Booth and others have
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: been writing this on on social media, and I agree.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's I don't think it should have taken
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: retirement to get to this point. He needs to be
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: in Cooperstown as the Ford Frick winner, as Dave is,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: absolutely and and I just he just has to like longevity,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: level of calling a game, respects he should have around
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the league, and I hope that happens sooner than later.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: You know, making guys like Mike Holmgren wait forever is wrong.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Making a guy like like Rick rizwait shouldn't shouldn't happen either,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: So and he deserves it. He's a Hall of Famer
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: in every level. So if you want to comment on
• 16:32

• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I know he was hurting yesterday. We talked about Big
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Sexy in the group he had over there. He's a
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: lot younger than us. He's like the young guy in
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I say, yes, he's big sexy.
• 19:41

• 19:54
  Speaker 2: So if you know Zach out there, he's a legend
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: from back in the day. And the King killed Big
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Sexy called Big Sexy. Yeah it's big sex but Big
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: sexies group, like it was a funny younger group, like
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Big Sexy's in his late thirties. I and his lovely
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: wife Kelsey. So they had that younger group over there.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It's funny because they and their kids. So there's a
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: bunch of kids that are like I think the oldest
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: ones are in fifth grade. The youngest ones are like
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: in kindergarten, running around, going crazy. They're having fun. Everyone's
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: chanting seahawks. Lond will tell you the story because I
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: went on the show. I told you so that was
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: going on our house. It's a little older crowd obviously,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and it's funny because but we also had kids over there.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: But all kids are all like college or graduated from college.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But I'm telling you right now, a lot of us
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: weren't feeling good yesterday. So today's like today's the bounce
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: back day. I couldn't even get to the gym yesterday.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Usually I want to go sweat the poison out. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: couldn't even do that. Couldn't even do that hurt.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: My back for you.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I went today, got sweated the rest of
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the poison out ready to go. I got a hockey
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: game tonight. And really, honestly, I think, if we're being
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: honest with ourselves, you need if your team's going the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, you really need to to prepare and get
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: back up. And why in the world it's not a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: holiday to day after it is? Still mind bought? Can't
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: we move like a holiday to that day that Monday,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: like President's Day?
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, I don't want to, I don't want
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: to offend anybody. Okay, but but MLK Day, President's Day,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: find a day.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: You can still celebrate it on that day.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Just can't we just day because it's not what I mean,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: because those days aren't the It's not like it's December
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: twenty fifth is always Christmas. This year, January nineteenth was
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: MLK Day. Next year it will be January eighteenth. President's
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Day is whatever the February sixteenth this year, right, Yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: that would be the logical one. Just move that up
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, right, Just move it up to Monday,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: because I fully plan on being having about a five
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: star hangover one way or the other. On just tell,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: going to give you a fair warning right now, five
• 21:53

  Speaker 5: a while.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: You got a seven day window. You're okay, Yeah, you're okay,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: but you got to be you can't do that stuff.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I know that growler that you got from Georgetown's last
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: one you're gonna have for a while. That's unfortunate.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: Anyway, Well, you know they always say, like sleep when
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: the baby sleeps, you'd drink when the baby sleep there
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: you go drink.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if that works.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I don't either, I don't Yeah, I don't know.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: If that works. I don't know if that works. Let's
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: let's start with a couple of shorter ones first. All right,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I want to start with Jaren Reed if I can.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: And is that good? You got that? Okay? Uh So,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: if you missed our first segment what we wanted to
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: do the week before, so we got lots of you know,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: guts some time. I wanted to go back and revisit
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: how and why they got here. And one of the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: things that we all noticed going out to OTA's, specifically
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: OTAs that are not mandatory, was the fact that they had,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes, one hundred percent participation, including
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: guys that are veterans, including the old guy on the
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: defensive line in Jaron Reed, And we sat down with
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: him during those OTAs. He came to the KJR closet
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: there in the media room at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: sat down and, uh, basically, I said, you know, hey,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: why are you coming back and why are you here
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: for OTAs? You're here, I'm gonna ask you this weird question.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Why the hell is a ten year veteran thirty two
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: years old here at OTA's in June. Man, it's the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: love of the game.
• 23:42
  Speaker 11: To be here with the guys, to bid a chemistry
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: to you know, let them see me, you know, let
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: them know that it's real. Uh, be here for any
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: questions they may need, to show them how to work,
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: how to prepare like a pro, you know, things like that.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Does it say something about the culture Mike McDonald's built
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: as well? Yeah? Absolutely.
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: The culture that we're building here is is very unique
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: that I like to say, Uh, you have to be
• 24:08
  Speaker 11: strong minded to be to be in this, in this
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: kind of kind of culture here. You know, you can't
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: be soft mind and can't be weak minded. You know
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: a lot of his game is mental, so you got
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: to have a strong mindset.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: God's good. I mean you want to talk about foreshadow Absolutely,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about foreshadowing. I need to be
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: here for the young guys. I need to show him
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: how it's done. And yeah, says something about Mike McDonald
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: And it's not for the week. All that was just
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you remember the day on.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: That that was in June June. Yes, early.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Ot ot is in June. Ye, man, that says a lot. Yeah,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: that just says everything you need to know about what
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald and John Schneider have built here at.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Ten your vet that absolutely does not need to be
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: at OTAs like a lot of people around the legue way.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to tell you right now that he
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: we got Cliff on tomorrow. Yes, I love you, Cliff.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I'm telling there's I'm not sure if Cliff was at
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: everyone I know him beat what I know Michael Ben wasn't.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: But you know what, like it's and every time it's different.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe if it was early on, it would have been different. Right,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: those guys came in Super Bowl year. I'm sure they
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: were there every time.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Like what we talked about yesterday with Pete Carroll compared
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: to Mike McDonald, right, they were super cocky that last team.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: This team's more head down to your job. Everyone's like,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: it's just a different mindset.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: I got the chance to actually interview Jaron Reid in
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: the locker room on Sunday when I was at the
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: NFC Championship game, and the way he acted though echoes
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: what Cliff Averril and some of the guys had said
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: about when they walked into that stadium they watching game film,
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: we knew we had this. That's how Jaron Reid felt
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: about that game. Yeah, we know, like they're just all confidence,
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: no strut.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: If if the connections, the connections, you know, everyone's been making,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: you know, a note of what a great job Schnyder's
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: done turning the ross over. And he has the connection,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the only real connection between what was and the heyday
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: of you know, twenty twelve through twenty sixteen, seventeen, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: there is Jared Reid because he was with those guys
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: at the end. You know, Bruce Irvin talked about this
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: that with us last week. We had Bruce on, you know,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: and Bruce and Cliff and Michael, those guys all kind
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: of mentored a young Jared Reid coming out of Alabama.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: And now Jared Reed knows what it takes to get
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: to that level. And I just I love that SoundBite.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I just loved what he had to say. And I've
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: always been a Jared Reid fan. I like the guy.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I think. I think he brings an attitude and a
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: level of toughness to a team that frankly, for a
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: while lost it. Like I think when guys, I think
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: for a couple three years, when you know, when Jaren
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: went elsewhere, when Bruce Irvin was done and had gone
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: away when Frankly, when Frank Clark left, I think I
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: think some of the badass left.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I forgot about Frank.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I think some of the toughness left. And that's the
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: connection Jared brings. And as he said, can't be soft here,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: you just can't be soft here. Speaking of that, DeMarcus
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Lawrence came to Seattle, and a lot of people like
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: just kind of like, whatever, man, this guy's done. He's
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: he's got nothing left. And and I don't know if
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you two remember this, we talked to Cosell about him
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: because during the draft, like around the draft time, and
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I remember and and Cosell wanted to talk about DeMarcus Lawrence.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: In fact, I bet if we go back and find
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: when he was signed, we could find him talking about it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: It might be fun to do, too, sure, because remember
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Cosell wanted to talk about DeMarcus Lawrence, and he says,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I think there's something still there. I'm pretty sure that's
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: what Greg said. But a lot of people whatever DeMarcus
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Lawrence is what it is.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: It was an afterthought.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah do you hear my question on this?
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Yes you do.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's DeMarcus Lawrence sat down with me at the
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Virginia Mason Athletics Center after he became a Seattle Seahawk.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: You didn't come for a rebuilt. You didn't come here
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: for a team. That's like kind of absolutely right, right,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: absolutely not. How would you describe what this team can
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: do next year? Because you because you're not going to
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: sign someplace without knowing what the goals are.
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: You know, we we all see what Sam Sam Donald
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: did you know with the Bikings last year. You know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: like and also like we see you know how far
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks, you know, Thunk grew over the last year.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: So you know, being able to just put those two
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: you know, key pieces together you're already looking at you know,
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: it's a natural growth. I mean, and then you know,
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: stacking up on the defense and you know, filling some
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: holes like you know, this guy's the limit. You know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: all this takes is us coming together as a football team,
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: you know, learning from each other, you know, uh, cleaning
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: up our communication and our details. And yeah, you'll see
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: a show.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Well we saw a show, Tank, We saw a show.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: We did see a show all year. Now you're in
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the super Bowl. He never said the super Bowl in there,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: but I thought it was because he obviously came here
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: after Sam Sam Donald did, and he was effusive in
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: his praise for Sam Darnold and what was going on here.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: There's interesting stuff with these guys, like they they know,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: they feel it and listen, this is an organization too
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: that Yeah, it's a salary cap league. You're gonna go
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: ring get your money. But all things being equal, because
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: it is a salary cap league, oftentimes you're also probably
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: going to go somewhere where you hear good things about
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the organization, how they treat the players. They did a
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: complete renovation this year of the training facilities, you know,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: hot tubs, all that stuff. That that whole training area
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: if you know, if you've been out to the vMac
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: ever to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center, if you've been
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: out there before and seen the far end, bottom floor
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: towards the lake. They redid that whole area, which is
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: where they you know, the training staff is strength staff
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: and all that because they needed upgrade. I mean, it
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: was no longer state of the art what they do.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: They did. They did just that they spend money on
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: these guys. They have they have no qualms about doing that,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: all right, let's get to the main event. Sam Donald
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: signed with Seattle. This is from March twenty fifth, after
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald became a Seattle Seahawks. Here he is, Sam Donald.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: You're a free agent. You could probably have a lot
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: of choices to do go around the NFL. Why come
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to the Seattle Seahawks.
• 30:17
  Speaker 12: Yeah? Man, I mean obviously, after wayhing my option, it
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: just seemed like the obvious choice. You know, once I
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: once I found out about the Geno trade, That's when
• 30:26
  Speaker 12: I kind of obviously knew that it could be a
• 30:27
  Speaker 12: potential landing spot. And you know, it was just you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: waying the options and it became very clear, you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 12: what the obvious decision was. And I'm just very happy
• 30:39
  Speaker 12: that it worked out and that the feeling was mutual.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm just.
• 30:43
  Speaker 12: Very happy to be a Seahawks and ready to hit.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: The ground run.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: What is it about the organization that's appealing? I mean,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: we've all been you know, I've been here forever. I've
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: covered the team forever, and whether it be John Schneider
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: before that, Mike hom Grin and Pete Carroll and on
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: and on through and through. But to McDonald, Schneider, the
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: organization as a whole. You've been in the league long enough,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you've played here, you've played against his team. What is
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: it about the organization as a whole that's appealing.
• 31:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think the people. I've always said this, but
• 31:13
  Speaker 12: the people are what make the organization great, you know.
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: And it's not just the coaches, it's not just the
• 31:18
  Speaker 12: front office. It's not just the players. You know, that's
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: you know that those all those groups kind of speak
• 31:24
  Speaker 12: for itself, but it's all the people that work in
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: your day to day. You know, the people in the
• 31:28
  Speaker 12: cafeteria every single day that you stay hi to, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 12: you know, the training staff and the and the strengthening
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: conditioning staff, and you know the the you know, just
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: the people that work around the building every single day.
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: You know, you hear all these great stories about Seattle
• 31:43
  Speaker 12: and how nice it is to be in Seattle, you know,
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: just because of how great the people are. And I
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: think that, you know, that joy of being in Seattle
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: not only comes from being in the organization, but also
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: outside of it. You know, when you go into the
• 31:58
  Speaker 12: city and you know you're around town, and you know
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: all the twelves are just kind of roaming around the
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: city and and they you know, they recognized recognize a
• 32:06
  Speaker 12: lot of the players because they're so entrenched in in
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: what we are as a team and in the organization.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: They love it so much.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: And you know, you can.
• 32:15
  Speaker 12: You can really feel that even from Afar, And like
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: I said, I've had tons of you know, former guys
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: that I've played with, guys who are done playing that
• 32:23
  Speaker 12: have you know, been in the organization of and speak
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: so highly of it. So there were so many things
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: that were appealing about, you know, joining, joining this team
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: and in this organization. But you know, after after putting
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: some thought into it, and it became so clear that
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: I wanted to be a Seattle Seahawk. And yeah, again
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: it's it's just incredible, man. I'm ready to get to work.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald joining us here he in fronesced with you
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: and to be complumbing hot line. You see Hawk quarterback.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: You obviously are familiar with Clint Kubiak. The fit I
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: think for any NFL player and even offensive lineman, whether
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman, quarterback, running back, what have you The offense
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: has to fit skill set and what you like to do.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: What is it about Clint Kubiak's offense that you like
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: and what's your Seahawks fans expect from that offense.
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think first and foremost, you know, Clint's gonna
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: want to run the football. And I always say that,
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: you know, a good run game as a quarterback's best friend.
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: When you can run the football and play action off
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: of it, run keepers, it keeps the defense guessing, and
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: you know, especially that front seven, it keeps them guessing
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: and and you know they feel run and all of
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: a sudden it's play action and you're throwing right behind
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: a linebacker's head or you know, even if a guy
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: steps up on the back end, you can throw it
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: over a safety's head. So there's so many different ways
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: that you know, we love to attack defenses.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: In the system.
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: And again, the dropback game is great too.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: I feel like, you know.
• 33:51
  Speaker 12: It was really good in San Francisco, and I feel
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: like Clint, even being in New Orleans this past year,
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: has really evolved the drop back game as well when
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: it comes to you know, getting back on track and
• 34:01
  Speaker 12: second and longs and even attacking on third down.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: So and then the red zone.
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: Obviously as well. So it's it's a very exciting offense
• 34:10
  Speaker 12: to be in. But I think it all starts you know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: the most exciting part for me is that it all
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: starts with the run game, and I think that's something
• 34:18
  Speaker 12: that the twelves.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Can look forward to this year.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Interesting stuff about the run game, I get, just I
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: want to stay on that just for a second. So
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Walker goes for one thousand yards this season, Charbonnay has
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: seven thirty. So if you go back, this is the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: third year they played together, right, So going back, far,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: far and away, the most combined yards those two guys
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: have had together, like far and away, the most yards
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: they've had together. And last year they combined for just
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: over a thousand both a matter around five hundred years
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: before is about about twelve hundred yards. I mean, so
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: they're about five hundred yards more than they had combined before. So, yeah,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: the run game was better now. Gray's able helped, healthy Cross, healthy,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: healthy Lucas all helped. So, you know, mean four to
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: fifth year offensive line was pretty damn good and so
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: that helped a lot. Robbie Oots when he played was okay,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the tight ends, fantastic barner in his second year. You know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: calar Ups, Celebert, I mean, those guys just unsung heroes
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: for you that just did stuff. Did the dirty work,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cup blocking, Jake Bobo blocking, but just talking. Listen
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: to Sam Darreld talk about again, what did I just
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: say about the organization. That's what's important. You're not it's
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: so hard to flip flip the script. It just is
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to change a culture, to change the perception of an organization,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: usually it's gonna take some young guys developing. And that's
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: kind of what happened here because Seattle lost its way
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Tim Ruskell and then Tim Ruskell and Jim Wore. They
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: lost their way for a few years last year of
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the home Gren era, the disconnect between the front office
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: and the head coach. Michael tell you that I'm not
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: speaking out of turn. We joke about it now fifteen
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: years later, twenty years later. But that's what happened.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: It was real.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: And how did they get it back? Well, they had,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: They brought in Pete and John. It didn't happen overnight.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: It took three years, ten, eleven, and twelve. And what
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: changed not a bunch of high price free agents, great
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: drafts that and young and guys like Bobby Wagner that
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: changed the culture. And then all of a sudden it
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: became a destination again. All of a sudden it became
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: the place to be again. And then you know, Pete
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: did that for a long time and even in the
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: darkest days of the Pete Carroll era, his worst year
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: at seven and nine, think about that for a second,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: the worst year, you're seven and nine. That's more that's
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: more wins than the Jets will have in the next
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: three years combined. Like like that was that was the
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: you know, they're there that year, seven and nine, seven
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: and nine. Obviously the first two years, right, one of
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: those was a playoff here weird, but it was.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: But they were always a playoff win.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: But they're always competitive, they're always good, ye right, twenty eleven,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: there were some games that were like, but really seven
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: to nine, Okay, you're not awful, you're not winning four
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: or five games. But they changed everything around. And even
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: when Pete left, they brought Mike in and he just
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: kind of it's almost like the pileolight was still there.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: You just need to reignite it and just get things
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: going again, and it happened. But it's interesting if you're
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: just joining us Darnold Reid and DeMarcus Lawrence. We'll play
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: those next week.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: We'll get wells we get close to the Super bowlas
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: especially Read and Lawrence. Really good stuff, really good stuff
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: with those guys. Okay, we're good. Can we break now?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Should we break now?
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Sure? Why not?
• 37:40

  Speaker 2: one also love to get some talkbacks as well. By
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: the way, two of the best talkbacks we've ever had yesterday. Yeah,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I mean two of the best talkbacks ever. I didn't
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: play the one for Mark. I don't know if he's
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: actually pretty good with that guy. He's a good sport
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: The Mark James impersonation was uncanny, crazy, spot on like
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: and the Jackson one too, well, yeah, Chip doing his
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: best Jackson imitation? Did Jackson acknowledge it?
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Was he okay with this?
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: In here?

  Speaker 3: He laughed?

  Speaker 2: best form of flattering.
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: I agree.
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Well, he also agreed that it actually sounded like him,
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: which usually he doesn't hear it correct. I would say that, yeah,
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: that was good. He goes, actually, that sounds like me.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: So you had a lot to talk with those. But

• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Riz is gonna is walking away after the season. Hopefully
• 44:19

  Speaker 2: one Sports Network talking to Royalty Here, national dude, what's
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: See on National Radio five hundred radio stations across the country.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: Syrias six three seventy five and you warned me because
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: you sent me, you texted me a picture of your
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: cooler and said, dude, like, I'm not I am not
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: responsible for what happens. But you know what, it was
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: radio gold as I called you. We called you right
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: after the game. You were fairly competent. But the chants
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: were amazing. Of all the all the fans right after
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: the game at your house, at your party, it was
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: it was pretty amazing. Even though you were you were
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: slurring at a probably a medium level. Yet it media
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: scare business. Very well done, very well done by you
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: and your partygoers that were that were slurring the chant.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: It was very well received, by the way, very well received.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: I thought I was pretty good. I mean, yeah, there
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: was a medium I had. I had not hit the
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: brown water yet. I can tell you that.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: No, you were good. You know what. And I when
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: I when I texted you today, would you be available potentially,
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: like you could have said no. It would have been
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: no big deal because you know your party, you're having
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: a good time, your team's in there. And I conversely,
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: was sitting in at a small studio trying to entertain
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: at a very high level, which is questionable and then
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: watch the game at the same time, and I was
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: doing like amateur play by play. It was a brutal.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: So when you guys came on, your group came on.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: You came on to analyze, and they came on to chant.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: It was actually it was nice.
• 48:48
  Speaker 10: My producers in my ear going this is really good.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, like I've been. I've been stared at
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: a screen, like really not even talking to people, like
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: I'm watching the NFC Championship game. I don't want to
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: do a show right now. No, so you saved the
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: show pretty much.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a saver, I'm a guy, I'm a giver, I'm
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. That was Yeah, I was a save.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: No, it was funny because we I thought I was
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: going to be at home and and then the game ends,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, everyone's like, let's go next
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: door and see Big Sexy and and and the party
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: they're having and joined that party. And so we went
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: to Big Sexy's house next door and uh and just
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: like that, all hell was breaking loose. There's kids running
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: all over the place, there's parents. Yeah, they had he
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: had thought in your neighborhood you would be big sexy.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: You're not.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: I'm older sexy. I'm big and older sexy. Yeah, yeah,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that though. Yeah, I'm pretty close thought what
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: I thought you were going to be. But no, it
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: was good. Remember the chance, Yeah, let me remember the chance.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Let me check with missus Vanessa, see if I'm big.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: The answer is no. Yeah, She's like, leave me alone,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: all right? Is John lenn here? Yeah, the Seahawks chance,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: they were good. I'm telling you, buddy, what this is
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: what's cool. And you know this, this is what's cool
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: about sports. And I don't know if it's like and like,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: this is not a shot you can even just tell me.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the same in the Bay
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Area where you know, you kind of for a while
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: you had split teams Raiders, Niners, Giants Adies. Now obviously
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: you don't have that, but with unfortunately those two teams
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: not being there from Oakland. But like in this area,
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of neighborhoods are the same as mine. Like
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: the game ends and people are outside yelling and screaming
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: with their neighbors and celebrating. There's fireworks going off, parties everywhere.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's the best thing about sports, man,
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: is it bringing? You know, college doesn't do that, you know,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: because you not everybody's not a contrary contrary to our
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: three to seven hosts belief, not everyone as a Husky
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: fan in Seattle. So I mean it's but everyone is
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: a twelve and everyone is a Mariners fan. Like when
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: the Mariners went on the run this fault was the
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: same way. You know, people were just going bananas, like
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: after every win. It was all And I think it's
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: the best thing about sports. I don't know, is that
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: the same way in the Bay Area or is it
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: so many people that are transplants and split loyalties. I
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: don't Is it the same or not?
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: Well it is, I mean not to the extent of what.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: You just described. And you know, I've moved all over
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: the country, and the thing is is that you kind
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: of do just kind of absorb the team where you
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: live and because it's part of your community. So yeah,
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: I believe me. I think the Niners are just like
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: that because they've got that tradition. The Giants are like that.
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: The Warriors are the only team so obviously, you know,
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: through their championships with Curry and what they've done in
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: your right in the way that especially the way not
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: to get I don't want to get political here, but
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: the way that our country is right now to have
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: something that pulls everybody together. It's not about any kind
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: of party affiliation. It's not about economics, it's not about race,
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: it's not about anything. It's it's like you said, it
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: pulls you together. And when people minimize sports, that bothers me,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: not only because I've made my whole living off of it,
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: but because it does matter, and it does what you
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: just described matter that everybody's pulled together. You're going to
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: a game and you look and you're hugging somebody next
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: to it. You have no idea and you probably have
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: nothing in common with except for the fact that you
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: love this team. So look, I think it's really cool.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: I think the fact that you know it does help
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: that I hate the Rams and I hate Sean Devey.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: I don't use the word to hate a hole on the.
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I know it does. It comes to get but
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: you know it it is.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: And so look, many people who listen to your show.
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: And listen to us on a regular basis on.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Tuesday would think that I'd be pissed. Believe me. We'll
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: get to the point that even though the Seahawks aren't
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: the home team, they're in that stadium and they are
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: going to win a championship there, and just a little
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: bit less than two weeks. Everybody's kind of trying to
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: get their arms around that here because we had Super
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: Bowl fifty here and it was the Broncos and the
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Panthers and nobody really cared they're in that stadium whatever.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: But to have the Seahawks in the stadium of the
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: forty nine ers and probably it I mean, it's a
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: thousand times worse than the Turkey on the fifty right
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: where wols like that. People here got pissed and they
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: were so pissed about that. So if you think about
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: that in this whole scheme of things versus what this
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: potentially probably is going to be where they're celebrating right
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: there in their stadium, that's gonna be hard to swallow
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: for some people here.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree, Yeah, And I think, listen, it's
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: not getting political, it's the reality, like we live in
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: a tough time right now. Yeah, like we're our country
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: is in a bad spot, and it doesn't you know,
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: but when you have a team in pro sports that
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: can rally an entire community together, and frankly, people that
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: half the people are like, I love what's going on
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: with Ice and Trump, and the other half are saying
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: this is garbage and I hate this and I hate that,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: and you know, blah blah blah. You got those two people,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: and you know what they're doing. They're not arguing about that.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: They're standing side by side going hell yeah, man Seahawks, twelves,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: let's go. We're gonna kick the crap out of the
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: out of the Patriots. It's you know, that's that is
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: the best thing about sports. It's the best thing about
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: sports is rallying. And we had that in the fall
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: with the mirrors, and you know, our Seahawks things have
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: been so much better and so not so much better,
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: so much more often because we've had this our fourth
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: super Bowl in twenty years. I mean, that's that's a
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: pretty good run. Whereas Mariners obviously last year really and Andrews,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: you better, that felt new, like yes, absolutely, two real
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: playoff series, John, and you know, not just a one
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: one home game like they had three years ago. Two
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: playoffs series. The place was going nuts. They had a
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: true chance to win the world. Yeah, and you guys
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: have had that with the Warriors, you've had that with
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: the Giants, like it's it brings everyone together. It's the
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: best thing about it, and it's to me, it's the best.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: The best thing about this run right now is just
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: seeing everybody come together and chan't how do shan't go?
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: John?
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: You heard it the other day, how to go?
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: You Cary was doing it?
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: How entertaining.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: You got to get me an air check and we'll
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: play it next week. You got to get an air
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: check on.
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: The text line asking for you know.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: What, I you know what, I apologize. I dropped the
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: ball here, I I knew. I got copies of all
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: the shows that I do, so I have it. I'll
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: pull you guys will laugh so hard. You know what's funny.
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: When you first got on the show, you go, let
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: me go inside per a minute. We don't need no,
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: no no no, get back outside because your phone was that.
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: Then you went back outside and everyone was still chanting
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: it because you yelled at you said, okay, let's hear it.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: They kept literally you went inside and they just kept
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: doing it.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they were outside. There's like it's like five
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: minutes or just staying like twenty people outside just the neighborhood.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: It's believable.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, look, I've been I've been incredibly lucky here.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: I've seen a few Warriors championships. The niners of the
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: three Super Bowls never won one, the Giants won three.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: Like I've seen this up the goost in personal and
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: what it does to people, And like you said, you
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: talk to people and you're like, who's this person? Like
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: you and I we'd never be friends. It wasn't for sports.
• 55:47
  Speaker 10: I mean I did test.
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: You generally, but I mean we talk every week because
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: of sports. I mean, look at that. Two people as
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: opposite as you and I are, and yet here we are.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're about as similar. We're actually about as similar
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: as it gets, which is really terrifying. When I met
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: when I met you in Salt Lake, I go, Okay,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I finally met somebody normal. It's it's this guy, and
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: that is tough to find there, and normal being the
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: fact that you know, it was like you and me
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: against the rest of the LDS world. That's what that
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: one said.
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: The amazing part there was is that when they like
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: the Utah Jazz wind in the championship in ninety eight.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: We were there and we're sitting there and people they
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: didn't know where to go because there's bars everywhere else,
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: so most people are either at home or they go
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: to bars or whatever. When teams was in a championship,
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: they were calling the radio station going, hey, could we
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: come down there? We'll bring ice cream and we're like,
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: what is that going to do for us? Like you
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: bring pizza and beer? And they're like, oh, we can't
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: do that yet know where to go? They had nowhere
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: to go, so they went to the radio station and
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: congregated and they were bringing like ice cream in this
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: and we're and we're just sitting there going, what what
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: world are we living? Anyway, that's besides the point. But
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: the point is, obviously is that just everybody has a
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: great time. No, I think they'll won the super Bowl,
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: but and we have two weeks to talk about this,
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: but the thing is is that for a night, you're
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: going back and you don't think about the super Bowl yet.
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: So everybody, like you said, pours out of their house
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: or pours out of bars or whatever, and it's just
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: it's a great night and you'll never forget it.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: John Lunn joining us here on the Beacon Plumbing hot line.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: So Seahawks win thirty one twenty seven. I know you
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: were kind of one eye on that one on trying
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: to do a national radio show.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: But I actually went home and rewatched it. That's how
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: bad it was. Like I was able to watch it
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: kind of, but I stayed up to like three in
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: the morning because I wanted to know, like, okay, what
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: were the intricacies of the game.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: You know, Well, the fact that you know, I mean,
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Stafford throws for three seventy four, doesn't throw an interception,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: has a one twenty seven passer rating, which is exactly
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: the same as as was the case with Sam darl
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: I mean also identically number three forty six, no interceptions,
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: one twenty seven point eight passer rating. But the Rams,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: you know, total net yards four seventy nine. Seattle had
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: three ninety six. There's a lot of things in this game.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: You'd say, Man, how the hell did the Rams not win?
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: They only turned it over the one time, but that
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: one turnover proof costly. I look back, we hadn't even
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: talked about this year. The Rams were one for eight
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: on third down, one for eight as great as they
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: were offensively, one for eight on third down. That's that
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: to me was as much of the difference in the
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: game as anything.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they did a ton of damage on second down.
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know the number in front of you, but
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: they just they crushed the Seahawks on second down. But
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: I think what this shows is, you know, we didn't know.
• 58:21
  Speaker 10: You and I talked about this last week.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: Is this going to be a continuation in the first
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: game where Mike McDonald got over even though they lost,
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: I mean defensive I think the Stafford threw for like
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: one thirty in that game. They didn't have a clue
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: in that game. But then the second game, obviously that
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: that was kind of a continuation last the game, the
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: championship game was a continuation of that game. The difference
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: for the Seahawks clearly was Donald. And I know you
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: guys have talked about it a ton, and you know
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: this is going to be the story nationwide the whole time.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: Is just his redemption and not seeing ghosts anymore and
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: all those.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Kind of things.
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: But he went toe for toe with Darnald. They both
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: made a major mistake obviously the fumble, but then that
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: was kind of offset by the tree walling thing, which
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: I absolutely positively and I will tell you this one
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: on the air when I saw that thing, I just
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: hate that role. It could have win the other way
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: with the Rams whatever the way. Look, man, you're in
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: the emotion of the NFC Championship game, and I know
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: that you and I talked about this act actually right
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: after the game on my show. But you just can't
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: do that. I don't care.
• 59:16
  Speaker 10: And people were saying that the official warn and everything.
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: They threw the flag after Devonte Adams, after Stafford, after
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: Sean McVay, Jess's best friend went you know it went
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: after him, and it was like, wait a minute, is
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: in the what does that have to do with the game?
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: That's all I want to know is what what does
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: that have to do with the game. And I think
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: they need to get that out. It's not sportsmanship. They're
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: not role models. Get out of here. That's not part
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: of the game. The guy makes a great play in
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: the emotion of that. And you mentioned this. Kobe Turner
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: did it. I can't remember the dude twenty six He
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: sacked Sam Donald right over Sam Donald. He did a dance.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: It's like whatever, he walked over like, which is you're
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: not supposed to all. You're not supposed to do that, right,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: Nobody cares. Nobody cares there and Seattle, I get that.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: But if they had lost the game, that's all you
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: would have been talking about this week. It's just it's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: on the field, the two best teams. Let them go
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: out it, let it be physical, let it be football.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: But then you're gonna possibly decide something like that. I
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: know that people are all overwheling. I know we shouldn't
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: have done it, but it's the emotion of the game.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: And how were you supposed to pull that in.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: When they ask you, especially defensively, to.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: Play with the motion, play with the motion, play with fire,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: and then at that point when you make one of
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: the biggest plays of the game, you're supposed to, like
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: a faucet, turn it off. Life doesn't work like that.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: Emotions don't work like that.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: No, it does not, John Lone with us. We just
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: played some sound from when Donald signed on March twenty
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: fifth with Seattle that we had them on the show
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: that day, And you know I asked him about coming here.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: Once you kicked me off. I was supposed to be
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: on that day and you kicked me off, but continue,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: I never forget why did you kick me off? It
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: was a Tuesday and you were supposed to have me on,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: And Jess gives me a text and goes, yeah, Sam
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: Donald's on, you're out, Like what are you kidding me? Wow? Anyway,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not bitter.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: I am not bitter, not at all.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we had we had ends up being a
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl quarterback on instead. Weird. Uh, take us back
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit, because there's so much about Minnesota, right,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: and like every everything I've seen with Donald in the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: last you know, three days, hell, even leading up to
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: the game was okay. Here's it was either Sam Donald
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: in a Jets jersey or Sam Donald in a Vikings jersey,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: kind of like the two extremes. Right, nothing went well
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: in New York. By the way, as I was reading
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: my headlines again with New York, let's see, I didn't
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: get to this one. The Jets are parting waves with
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator Tanner Ingstrand, who was told he was
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: going to be retained two weeks ago, along with six
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: other assistants who then got turfed a week later. Imagine,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: how does functional knig they're just so good anyway that happens.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: So we see the Jets, we see the Vikings. You've
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: talked about it before. What do you think and you
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: were in the building every week, every know, all the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: time they're doing stuff for the forty nine ers. What
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: do you think that year with Shanahan meant for Darnold?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: What you and I talked about it right the big
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: right when he signed.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I told you I was a.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: Big fan because I saw him in training camp and
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: he looked really good. And I think, and you should
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: all say you're welcome to the forty nine ers, or
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: thank you to the forty nine ers, and I'll say
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: you're welcome on their behalf. Because that year he spent
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: with Kyle, he he learned that offense, he'd learned to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: slow down because early in training camp, I remember he
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: threw the prettiest ball. One of the reporters for the
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: Niners wrote this piece that he throws the prettiest ball
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: that he's ever seen from a forty nine quarterback, and
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: everybody lost their mind.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 10: Job Danna and Steve Young youn't crazy.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: But what he was saying was he wasn't saying he
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: was That's what he was he just his physical skills
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: and I think everybody you know the prettiness of the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: spiral and just what he can do, and he's more
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: athletic than you think that all those things were there.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: But what happens in the NFL is you well know,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: these guys lose their confidence. They don't lose their physical
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: abilities or anything, they just don't think they can do it.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: And what Kyle Shanahan basically did was resurrected him mentally
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: and as you saw him.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 10: And I'm just talking about practices because he didn't.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: Play a lot that year behind Brock, but what he
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: did was he started to understand the offense. Things slowed
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: down for him. It was like it was like a
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: red shirt year for him there and he understood that.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: And then what does he do the next two years,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: plays in an offense in Minnesota that's exactly like the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: forty nine ers offense with a coach that is a
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: disciple of it, and then goes to Quint Kubiak plays
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: in the exact offense. So he knew what he needed
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: to do. And I'm not saying that those guys didn't
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: improve him. They did, but I think what he did
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: was he got resurrected mentally by Kyle Shanahan. He sat back,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: he watched it, and I even saw it as practices
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: went on early in like early in training camp. I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: was like, this guy just doesn't see it mentally. Sometimes
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: he just doesn't see the plays because Brock breaks him
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: down and is so good to getting through his wreaths.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: Sam was a little slow of that. As he's progressed
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: as the Seahawks quarterback and even through the year that
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: he was here in San Francisco, he just got better
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: and better and better. And that's where I think everything
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: flipped for him.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: I think, what and you know, it's we just talked
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: about the dysfunction of the Jets and you know, even
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: to this day with new coaches and everything else, just
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: the dysfunction it Sometimes you just have to be in
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: the right system, with the right people and the right culture.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: We played some sound earlier from DeMarcus Lawrence talking about
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: why he came to Seattle Jaron Reid, why he was
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: showing up to every OTA as an eleven year veteran
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: in the league, you know, and didn't have to and
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: they had one hundred percent participation, you know, And it's
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: about the culture. And I think to me, that's that
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: what you said with Donald, Donald goes he works with
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan, And honestly, the only if you're trying to
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: resurrect your career, you go red shirt. Like I think
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: it's a great way to put it. A red shirt
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: year under Kyle Shanahan. Hell, we all think you know,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: I love to hate him, but he's a hell of
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: a coach. Go red shirt under under mcphagh. Like how
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo might be a good quarterback right now? Right
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: like there like exactly, I mean right because he's been
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: there for two years. Yeah, I've been there for two
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: or three years under under McVay with Stafford and and
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: I mean Garoppolo had a skill set, there's no doubt.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: So like what Jimmy might be the next Donald in
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: a sense, right, Like go work for under those types
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: of guys, or and then then you go to Kevin O'Connell,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: who's a guru. Right. So that's why it's just it's
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: coaching matters, culture matters, all those things. And I think
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: that it is funny that now Sam is going to
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: come full circle and more than likely he's going to
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl thanks to his tutelage from Kyle Shanahan.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: You're well in Santa Clara. If I get this is
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: that did I Did I connect all the dots? You
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: did well?
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: And here's the thing too, A lot of people about
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: midway through that year, like I said, it was a
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: little shaky at the beginning.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 10: Because not again, not because the physical skills.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: Everybody saw it when he went in training camp. But
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: he first got to the Niners and he was throwing
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: the ball. Everybody's like, oh my god. And then you'd
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: get into some eleven on elevens, you know how that
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: works at the end, and the defense knows what's being
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: called anyway, so it makes it even that much more difficult.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: Sometimes he would hesitate and you wouldn't see it. But
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: then as the season went on, there were people in
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: the building of the forty nine ers who were saying,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: and now this is one hundred percent true by about
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: mid season in his year with the forty nine ers,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: where people said, hey, if Rocket's hurt, Donald could lead
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: him to the Super Bowl. He can. He's that good.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: And he had grasped the offense, knew where to go
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: with the ball, wasn't panicked anymore. Wasn't see him goes
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: like that's really where it started. I know again at
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: Minnesota because he started he was able to show everybody,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: show the world about it. But it just it started there,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: and you could see it from training camp to like
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: the middle of the season, and people in the building
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: were buzzing saying, look, if Brock gets hurt, this guy
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: can lead us to a super Bowl. And I was like,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: come on, man, because I was thinking Sam Donald Carolinas
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: like I was resilient. I was resistant to it.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 10: But then as the season went on, you could see
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 10: it in.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: The practices that he could see it. And remember, and
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: you know this, it's two versus ones. So the backup
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks always going against the first string and guys like
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: Fred Warner and they're not giving him anything. So he's
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: going against the number one defense and back then you
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: know everybody's healthy and all those kind of things. That's
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: a Super Bowl defense. So that all that combination I
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: think really helped him. And again I'm joking when I
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: say this, Darnald did the work. It's not that.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 10: It's just I think he got his confidence back.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: I think he understood the offense. I think that he
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of wiped away all the stuff that
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: happened from the Jets, and then he went to the
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: Vikings and then he went there and what the Seahawks
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: did is, you guys know is you know they put
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: him around the right thing to back. Everybody's dissected all
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: these calls and now you know, I know, leading up
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl, like I've already heard all this
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: stuff about Drake May. Sam Darnold is a far superior
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: quarterback to Drake May. At this point, that's fine. You
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: want to say the things, the kind of season that
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: Drake May had, all that kind of stuff. All this
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: everyone's trying to make this at least I don't know
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: what you guys have heard, but nationally, everybody's trying to
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: talk this thing into being a close game. I got
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: to be host with you, man, I just don't see it.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, I see like a forty nine Ers Seahawks
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: divisional thing. I just I like Drake May. I like
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: the Patriots, but their schedule and what they've done, and
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: I like Mike Rabil. I have a ton of respect
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: for the Patriots. But I think this is ultimate payback
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: time from you know, when we were at that Super
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: Bowl and then the Super Bowl in Arizona.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 10: And I'm sure you guys have said it a million times, but.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: I just don't see a way the Patriots can win
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: the game unless there's just a massive amount of mistakes
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: and turnovers. If the Seahawks beat themselves, the Patriots could
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: beat them. If the Seahawks don't, I just don't see
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: a way.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll kind of we'll get deeper into the game
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: next week and and all that. Uh, the two things.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: One are you're there? You're a I mean it's your backyard.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: Are you a radio row or what's your schedule next week?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: Where are you at?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I talked to Jess last night and maybe I'll
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: be I was, I was, I was thinking like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: But maybe we'll have to do a live version of.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 10: This thing because I know she's gonna be down there,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 10: so I'm gonna try.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: To make him a live happen is exactly. I'm a creep.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: I might creep over.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: George is George there? Is your son gonna be there?
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Is George there?
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, he's he's He was there last year in
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: New Orleans and got his first taste of like hurricanes
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: and all that. He's twenty two now, and so yeah,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: he's gonna be there and he's pretty much gonna do
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: all the work. I'm gonna make him do all the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: work on my show.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's wild. And I got him in. I
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: think Mike, I got him in. My kid was in
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: here yesterday killing some time before he had an appointment somewhere.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: What did he say? Just so we said, like, how
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: many beers did you have? When you say twelve?
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well with ease.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: It's like they drink light beer. It's not like real beer.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: They drink beer beer, I think. Regardless, the big boy,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: the big boy, I mean he's but he's not as
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: big as he was. I'm bigger than he is now. Yeah,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: he's a he's a fitness freak these days. This kid,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: it drives me nuts.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: It's you want your kids to be, you know, better
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: than what would you drink?
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: Like the michelot light or.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: What they what they drink? They drink They drink course light.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: I think I think the silver bullets just got smashed.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah that that what you got there? What do you got?
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 5: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer wo.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, who is.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: What? What? What?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 5: All I know is that I just saw from schefter
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: that Bill Belichick is not uh and he fell short
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: of the forty fifty votes needed for his first Balloty well.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: How did how did each your row knock out a
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: unanimous boat?
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, there's a lot of what helped me once? Stay
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: with me for a second. So does that open up
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: a shot for homegun this year?
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: That should?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 8: You don't know about it?
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: They don't respect coaches the way they should.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: You know, Mike sanhan still isn't in. Mike Holmgren's still
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: not in. Like I don't understand. I understand like disrespect
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: for like a punter or a kicker or something like that,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: or take a while to get these guys in. But
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: a coach like Belichick, I mean, look, people can hate
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: him all they want. He probably is considered the greatest
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: coach of all time. But I know what he's done.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: But you know what he's not in is because people
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: don't like the way he treated him. I mean, this
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: is a Barry Bonds thing. I'm down in the Bay
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: Area not you know, the only reason Kurt Warner is
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame, not the Seahawks, but the
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: quarterback is because he's a nice guy. The only reason
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: Trell Davis is in the Hall of Fame is because
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: he was on NFL network. He was a nice guy.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: Their agents tell him to do this, and what it
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: does is Curry's favor with these voters, and if you're
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: not a nice guy, then they're gonna They're gonna do
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: this to you, at least on the first ballot, to say, hey,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: you treated us poorly. And I think it's a bunch
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: of crap. You don't have to like Belichick, but he's
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: one of If he's not the greatest, Bill Walsh, there's enough,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: you know, there's a handful of them that you could
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: say with the greatest. I just don't understand how you
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: don't put him in. And the only explanation for it
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: is a bunch of butt hurt writers who go, yeah,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: you remember when you would he would do those interview
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: Seattle like it was just like, hey, you ask a question,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: he would just do one word. That's all. That's why
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: he's not in. I mean, it has nothing to do
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: with the way that he coached, because how can you
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: have it like Okay, North Carolina doesn't work out. I
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: get it the way you know the end of his career,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: but how what careers honestly in life or in sports
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: and the way you want that most of them don't.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: So the fact that he's not in that's just ridiculous.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing, just kind of going through this real
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: quick because this has all happened for us live. The
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: eight of the semi finalists in the category this year,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: where Tom Coughlin, Mike Holmgren, Chuck Knox, Buddy Parker, Dan Reeves,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Marty shot and Rick, George Seffert, and Mike Shanahan. Uh
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Belichick falling short this year means that three other head
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: coaching favorites will likely need to wait at least another
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: year for their turn. Shanahan, Coughlin, and last year's coaching
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: finalists who fell short Homegan So Holmegren was not a
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: finalist this year. I don't believe, not, I don't. I
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: don't believe. Somebody check on that phone. Well, but I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: think I think you know who's going to get in,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Robert Craft because they're in the same it's the same category.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: How rich is that?
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah? How about that?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: So Belichick is going to get passed over, but his
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: owner desired him and they had a bitter relationship at
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: the end. Is more than likely going to be the
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: guy that gets in this year over Bill Belichick Robert Craft,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: who by the way, when he was talking after the game,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: he was slurring way more than I was.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: He was, I'm gonna get later, and uh, that's right.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he probably he probably stopped at like three, four
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: or five rubbing tugs in.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: The way home. What happened to.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: Say that?
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: Right?

  Speaker 4: Yeah. He's uh, yeah, he's uh, he's questionable. He's a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: big baseball guy. I can tell you all about the
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: Mariner's prospects, but yeah, believe me.
• 1:13:39

• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: I had too much, but you're true professional and they
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: the hawks. Uh slurring was very good and well received.

  Speaker 13: Mariners Sports Radio having a beer doing some yard work.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: During the summer, I think Rick.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 9: Riz I'll tell and he's one of the best that
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 9: there is. Rick rizz.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, love the show.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 13: Listen to all all the shows all day every day.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: But what the last guy said about.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 13: Kurt Warner being the only reason he's in the Hall
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 13: of Fame because he's nice, Come on, man, Kurt Warner
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 13: came from the Arena League Super Bowl MVB, one of
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 13: the best offenses we've ever seen. Then he took the
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 13: Cardinals the lowly Cardinals to the Super Bowl, and if
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 13: it wasn't for a James Harrison pick, they would have
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 13: had another one.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: He had a great career.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: He's for sure a Hall of Famer.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: I gotta disagree with that take. Yeah, I have Kurt's
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer love stuff. Sometimes it's just moronic that
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: that's like, how do we accept that the you know what,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: the ones we I didn't want to. I don't have
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: the I don't have the bandwidth, the energy or the
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: desire to do this again. But we've gone through the
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: list of cod you know what, I'll bring it up
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: with Softy. I'll bring it up with him. I'll bring
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: up a saftie. But I believe, I believe top of
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: my head. When we compare resumes coaching resumes, cower Tony Dungee,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: and there's a couple others that aren't that. Mike lumbrin
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: Is has a far better resume then so and you
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: know what, for that matter, so does Mike Shanahan. So
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: the coaching thing, well, Sanduel gets really mad when I
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: bring it up. We got into a big battle a
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago. And I love Mike to death,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: and I have great respect for him. He puts so
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: much time and effort into it. If you just look
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: at his pick six, you know what kind of research
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: this guy does so for you know, sports radio hack,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: you just kind of fly off the handle and say
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: stuff as someone insulting, And I get that, but I
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: do want to ask Mike again, I just don't get
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: why there's such a it. There's probably no harder Hall
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: of Fame to get into than the Football Hall of Fame,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: not for players, but for a coach or an executive or.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: Which is weird because I feel like if you were
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: to compare of any sport where the player or sorry,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: coach or executive has the most say on how good
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: of a team is, it's.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: Football, right exactly? Yeah, Like, I mean, the Seahawks went
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: another Super Bowl? Isn't that Hall of Fame worthy for
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: John Schneider when and he'll probably never get in. But
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Robert Kraft owned the team, wrote a check, hired a guy,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: and he's going to get in.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 9: M H.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Like, I assume it's Kraft getting in over Belichick, which again.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he is the finalist, which again.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 5: Is awesome from that perspective.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so good.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, just that part of it's fantastic, But come on,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: I've got a lot of texts. Is lun going to
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: the game being such a Seahawks lifer? As from Keith
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: Miller at well, when you see him you can.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 9: Ask him that.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, well if we keep exchanging the Valentine's Day
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 7: cards with each other, yeah, yeah, he might be a
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 7: little bruised, a little worse with a way or about
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 7: the time I see him.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: Is there a way to listen to the one podcast
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: with Ian after the game? Through Westwood One? I don't
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: know if through west would One. He'll get the audio.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: We'll get the audio for next week and.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: You can get it on our podcast when we play it.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: That wasn't sloring, doesn't lend know? Ian speaks Canadian?
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: That's good.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: I probably had the heavy Canadian accent go on that day.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: Is there a way to find the interview? I don't
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: have social media. A lot of people ask I'm telling you, Yeah,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: how's the mayor holding up during the hockey marathon month?
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 4: Not well?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 5: Not great?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Bob, Not great, Bob, great at all?
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: Bob.

  Speaker 2: No, We're doing good. I'm doing working for a hockey team. Man,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: it's awesome. Clothing games apartment toys, and now I am
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: a little bit tired, and Sunday took a little Sunday
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: took a year or two off my life, maybe more
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: two o six. I love that dude. I assume they're
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: talking about one. Yeah, yeah, well he's fun.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: Let's not get carried away.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: That's right, Jess. You get a deal with him face
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: to face next week. I'll wait for a full report
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: on that one. You let me know how that goes.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: I'll send your pictures so he will be in a
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: headlock most likely.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: When I was when I when I went down to
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: Santa Clair every year for the Seahawks and covering the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers, it was just watching him work. The
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: press box was just a tree bouncing around talking to people.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to talk to him, but he wants to
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: talk to everybody. I'm getting he was he's kind of
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: a big deal. He was like the you know, he was, Well,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: he's Papa, Papa's.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: Guy, so yeah, a big deal and we love Papa too.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: All right, We're good, all good, yep, all right. We
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: will check in with David Softy Maller next.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: Our twelfth Man playoff coverage continue. Playoffs brought to you
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: by Seattle's closest sports book snow called Me Casino and
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: Hotel on your home for the Man, the NFL Playoffs
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: and Super Bowl sixty Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: KJR FM.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 8: Now here's the all right.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: Little clarification waiting for Softy'll be here in a second
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: little clarification. So this is the second year they've done
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: it this way where the finalists in the coaches and
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: the contributed categories compete against the senior nominees. So the
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: coach finalist was Belichick Contributor finalist Craft, and then there's
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: the three senior players Kenny Anderson, former quarterback with the Bengals,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: Roger Craig who waited for homegrown with Great forty nine
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: er teams in l C. Greenwood with the Steelers, member
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: of the Steel Curtain defense. Voters can select only three finalists,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: and the thought going in is that Craft or Belichick
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: would get elected, but not both. And now we know
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: Belichick's not in, maybe because Craft is going to be in.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: Patriot I'm Patriot crime the week of the Super Bowl.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: I'm here for it all day. I'm here for it
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: all day. Let's split the votes. Patriots don't like each other.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: I like it. It's good. Belichick not a Hall of Famer.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: It does screw our guy, my Clumber though, because this year, well, no,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: next year, next year, wait another year.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 14: He thought was that he would have to wait this
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 14: year and then get in next year because Belichick is
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 14: out of the way.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: And and now it looks even here's the thing, if
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: if we would have I guess known this part of it,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: that craft an owner. Sure, what did he do?
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 14: He hired a guy, never knew he would turn out
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 14: to be the guy he was. But you know, sometimes
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 14: that's the way things work. I mean, did Todd l
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 14: Wiki know Pete Carroll was going to be but I would?
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: But would you put toil Wiki in the Hall of Fame?
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 10: I might?
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: I mean actually actually sends my check. Yes, I thought
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: you're a Hall of Famer.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 8: I think this.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 14: I think that the voting process for the Hall of
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 14: Fame is lacking credibility big time. And I've thought that
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 14: for many many years now because of the Mike Holmgren thing.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 8: Yep, and I think it even more now with Bill Belichick.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 14: Look, I'm not a Bill Belichick fan per se of
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 14: the person or whatever. He's a grumpy bastard. But this
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 14: is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Ye, Bill
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 14: Belichick won how many titles? Six six and he's not
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 14: in the Hall of Fame when he first comes up.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 14: I mean, if Bill Belichick is not a first bout
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 14: Hall of Famer, then.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: Who the f is?
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 14: I mean, Bill Pollian is a first ballot Hall of
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 14: Famer and Bill Belichick is not a first bout Hall
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 14: of Famer. So look, I'm not saying that every voter
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 14: out there has lost their credibility, because you know, you
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 14: could do the right thing and get voted down by
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 14: you know, forty nine other people for crying out loud.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 14: So I just think the process and the lack of transparency,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 14: to be honest with you, has totally lost credibility. And
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 14: for me, Ian, I don't know how you feel about it,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 14: and maybe I'll feel definitely if it ever does happen.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 14: It's kind of ruined it a little bit for Mike
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 14: that he's got to wait this long and go through
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 14: this clown show process of an organization that can't get
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 14: there you and know what together, and every couple of
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 14: years seems to be changing their process and screwing people
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 14: over in the process, like Mike Holmgren Man. So this
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 14: is that they've totally pissed away their credibility in my opinion.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: And Dave, this is this is the thing. This is
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: So is the second year that they've because you just
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: said they changed rules all the time, So this is
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: the second year that the contributors, coaches and senior players
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: are all in the same category. And the way you know,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: when I've had Sandalan, we you know, I've gone back
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: and forth with Mike about this on the air, off
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: the air, and I I truly believe guys like Mike
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: take it damn serious and know what they're doing. But
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: here's a thing. There are the politics that we have
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: right right now. So first of all, combining the senior
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: players with a coach R and a contributor which is
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: either an owner, a GM what have you, is asinine.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: It's apples and oranges number two. Fourteen years, fourteen years.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Robert Kraft and his PR team like he's hat, his
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: PR guy have politic for him to get in there,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: and he's been also helped Alom Bay wait for it,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: Bill Pollion. Right, the stories are coming out now with
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: ESPN and Chefter. These guys is that Pollion and others
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: thought that Belichick should have to quote wait a year
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: as punishment for spygates.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 8: That's stupid, ridiculous, all of.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: It's just dumb, dumb, and yes, to answer your question, yeah, yeah,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: it sullies me a little bit.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 8: On hold, yeah, for sure, for sure.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 14: I mean again, you know, I realized that, you know,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 14: you want to put guys in as they get older
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 14: and all that stuff, But you know, if that's the case,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 14: and what the hell is Mike Homer not doing in
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 14: the Hall of Fame for God's sakes, and you never
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 14: know it? Like the thing with Lenny when Lenny died
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 14: before the Sonics came back. I'm sorry that pissed me off, right, Like,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 14: that's one of the reasons why you want that team
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 14: to come back as soon as possible, so guys like
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 14: Lenny could have enjoyed it. Well, Lenny's not going to
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 14: get to enjoy because Lenny's dead, right, Okay, So that's
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 14: why you need guys like Mike home. Not that Mike's
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 14: gonna drop that tomorrow, but my god, tomorrow is not
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 14: guarantee you and I've got the hell knows what the
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 14: hell's gonna happen. Dude, if they deserve to go in today,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 14: then put him in. I, I, you and I I
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 14: mentioned standards earlier.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: You know, you and I have done this before. We've
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: done this exercise way too many times. We can go
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: through at least four or five coaches in the Hall
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: of Fame, including a couple that are on TV.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, Bill Kauer, for one, doesn't belong in there.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 14: Dungee doesn't belong to not over Mike, not old Mike.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 14: But that's the thing.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 8: That's the thing. If you want to put those guys in,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 8: that's fun.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, put them in.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 8: But you can't have a Hall of Fame with those
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 8: guys and not have Mike Holmger or.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: I'll had another one, Mike Shanahan, right right, Guys like
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: Shanahan and Home we're going to get passed over because
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: they're not on CBS every week.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 8: That's ridiculous.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 14: Well, this, this this Belichick thing is it's it makes
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 14: the voting process look like a joke.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, Well that's what I don't know.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 14: If Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 14: then I don't know what is a first ballot Hall
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 14: of Famer.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 8: So anyway, you look nice.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you? All right, here's the thing. Hey, let's let's turn.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: Let's get this all stirred up next week. I can't
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: believe this. This owner, this owner is keeping Bill Belichick
• 1:27:07

• 1:27:09
