  Speaker 1: High energy.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, Chuck Powell, That's Ashley Ryan with you here on
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: this Thursday morning.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome into the radio program.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: No Bucky Jacobson here today, No Bucky Jacobson tomorrow. I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: would suspect that we'll see Bucky Jacobson on Monday.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: But you never know.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, he might fall so in love with the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: desert he just becomes a nomad that tours that Jo
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: just goes up into the Camelback mountains.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: It's very possible. I could see him as a.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Mountain man, never to be heard from again. You know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: he just eats beans and plays a harmonica way up
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: into the highlands.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, that guy should not just eat beans.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, as long as he's a nomad who cares
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: nature exactly. If you're just you're not really affecting anybody else,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: including your wife and children, because you've abandoned them for
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: this nomadic existence, then eat all the beans that you want.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I'm gonna go ahead and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: say it right now fish for the world to hear.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I care if it's a hot take. I think that
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: no mad should eat as many beans as they want.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's a bold statement.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just have at it, have a bean fest.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Look at you just letting them live their lives.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I realized there's some ozone effect I've heard with cattle.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But go ahead and let a rip.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: On that mountain top. Who cares that they will? You
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: don't have to tell a nomad twice.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: No, they're just there now, leaving the mountain to go
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: down to the store to get.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The beans to go back to the mountain.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure you eat them on the top of
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the mountain. Don't do it in the store. You're disgusting pigs.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, gross, nobody wants that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Well, welcome in four hours with you here, Ashley, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I will take you till ten o'clock. All sorts of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: things to discuss today, we certainly aren't. I don't really
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: call it a transition week. I just sort of this
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: is an opportunity. I mean, we went from an incredible
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: baseball season that lasted longer than any baseball season has
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in Seattle, and then football season, you know, kind of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: dominates the sports fans and the sports talk world's existence,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: let's let's face it. And then we went as far
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: as you can go in a football season, and then
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, a week later, you're talking about
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: NFL combine. So you got to light that draft miss fire.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: We've already done our spring training coverage for the week,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and so I don't want to call it a transition week.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: This is more like catching up with some other sports today.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: So we have our annual Jerry Palm Conversation today.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I like to call it Palm Wednesday.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, Palm Thursday is what I met.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Palm Thursday today, not Palm Sunday. That's a religious experience.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: But this is Jerry.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Palm joining us for the annual Palm conversation uh here today,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: So we'll do that a little bit later on, plus
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of other things that we will get to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: here today, including a lengthy Reckless at breakfast today at
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock. Tell you more about that coming up with
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: What's on tap. But rarely do we start a show
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: with the Kracking, especially here in the last calendar year.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And even though it's a loss that we have to discuss, certainly,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: this was a week in which you're coming off of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the Olympic high of the US winning the gold medal,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and it sort of made you if you follow hockey
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: at all, if you follow the crack In at all,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: it made you a little more excited a little more
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: anticipatory for the next game. We haven't seen the crack
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And play in three weeks. Last time we saw them play,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: they were playing pretty well at one six out of eight.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: They put themselves in playoff position despite the roller coaster
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: year that the Kraken have had. Then they take the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: three weeks off, You hope that they didn't get stale
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: or rusty or anything of that nature. Have had experts
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on all week long telling me if anybody should be good,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: it should be the Kraken. They only had four people
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: participate in the entire Olympic experience, and all four of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: them returned to Seattle healthy, So this should be a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: this should be an advantage. Dallas had a lot more
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: players that participated in the Olympics, and some of them
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: got banged up and injured. Couldn't even start their number
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: one goaltender last night. And then I had experts tell
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: me it's very important to get off to a really
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: good start here now that we are resuming the season.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: The next five to ten games could tell the entire
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: story as to whether or not this is going to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: be a Stanley Cup playoff year here in the Pacific
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Northwest or not. And so Ashley and I we were
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: excited about getting this thing going last night in Dallas
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: against the Stars, a good team, but bring it on, Jackasses.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And what happened.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The Jackasses ran completely over us like a semi truck.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Blake, it was. I mean, I just there was
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: multiple times watching that game where I was.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Gonna, oh oh, oh, no, oh no.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: And that's how I felt the whole game. It just
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: felt like we were slow. We were not prepared to
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: be playing an actual hockey game.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Well that is unacceptable.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Well that's the case, I mean, and that's obviously not
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the case.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: You know, they were, but it just didn't feel like
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: they looked like they knew, like they were ready for it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: After the game, I thought to myself, well, crack in hockey.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Second half of the season starts tomorrow, so I'm pretending yesterday.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, and we can talk about that because
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: they play again tonight against the Saint Louis Blues, one
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of the worst teams in the NHL, and so back
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to backs have never been a kind thing since this
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: organization came into existence. They've been better this year with
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Lane Lambert. They are they aren't just a rollover team
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: on that second night, and they certainly better not be tonight,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: because I mean, I'm not certainly going to go with
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: twenty five games remaining to a must win kind of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: call for tonight. But it suddenly seems a lot more
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: important to not start zero to two, Not when I've
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: had every expert in the in Seattle tell me this
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: week that how important it is not to get off
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to a sluggish start and resumption period, and so to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: lose to one of the worst teams in the NHL.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: On the second night after getting flattened by the Dallas Stars, Boy,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: that certainly doesn't scream to me quit resumption start for
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the Seattle Kraken. So it suddenly does feel like a
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: much more important game. And I don't know if we
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: should have gone into the last night thinking Okay, well
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: there's a win, Yeah, here's a win. I mean, the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Stars as a team have had just as much rest,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and they are a really good team, and they've got
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a couple star players that we just don't have. Wyatt
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Johnston scored two goals last night, even though they were
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: pretty much both on deflections. But to lose four to one,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to get out shot thirty two to nineteen, to lose
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: face offs thirty one to twenty three, to get four
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: power play opportunities and go er for four, I mean,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: these were This has been a year for the Kracking
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: where they've gone hot for ten games and then cold
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: for ten games, and then hot for ten games and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: then cold for ten games. And these are statistics very
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: reflective of those moments where they just weren't executing. It's
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: never an effort thing, it's never a preparedness thing. Not
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: what hockey players not after three weeks. But it is
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: an execution thing. That's better way with this team, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: they did not execute last night.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And maybe their timing's off from the layoff, but I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: think it's a poor excuse.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that, because the Dallas Stars had just
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: as much time off as what the Kraken did, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: they seemed they seemed to be executing just fine. So
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: it was not the result that you're looking for. It
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: is just one game. You don't want to read into
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it as any kind of indicator as to where the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: team is right now, but you can't help but reflect
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: on the way that this team has performed this year,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and when they played that poorly, I go, and I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: would think a lot of fans go to, oh great,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: here we go. We're going to start the second half
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: with a crappy ten games, because that's the way they've
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: played this year. Good for ten, bad for ten, good
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: for ten, bad for ten, never terrible. You know, they're
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: in every game, never great, they don't blow people out,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: but good for ten, bad for ten, good for ten,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: bad for ten. And if that trend continues, then this
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: is not a good harbinger for things to come here
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: for the first ten games of this resumption.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just it was disappointing to see last night's
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: results and it just felt like if you could have
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: at least kept it more competitive, you would have left
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: feeling with a better feeling. But it didn't seem I mean,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: we just got completely outplayed there. Even to get the
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: one goal. It was kind of like third period four
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: that didn't matter anymore.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: So it was never close.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And I mean, you challenged a goal on goal the interference,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: and there wasn't a lot of proof that it happened,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: so you knew it was really risky. But it was like, well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: if we win this challenge, we're only down by three.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: If we lose this challenge, we're down before and they
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: get a power play.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: But that's risk worth taking.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I mean that that was basically that I thought a
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: good summary of the game, like, well, let's just hope
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: that this was goal interference, so we're only down by three.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I love that we have hockey. I love
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: this organization. I mean, you know, being aligned with them,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we're treated a little bit better. Yeah, you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: but it's hard not to be impressed by the people
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: that you meet.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It's hard not to like Ron Francis. It's hard.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, Todd LAIWICKI I think is the most important
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: person in the history of Seattle sports for goodness sake.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: And I like the players. It's hard not to like
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: hockey players. I mean, they're not all that verbose when
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: we have them on for interviews. They tend to be
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: close to the vest when they get interviewed. But certainly
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: hockey players are tough, and they put it all out
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: on the line.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And they're epitome of team first.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: They are the epitome of team first, sport first. You know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: they respect the game that they play, even when they
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: get in fights. And it was kind of nice to
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: see a couple of the young guys, Ben Myers particularly
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the other The other dude got his ass beat, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Ben Myers, you know, was throwing some fists around, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I think that was actually kind of cool that the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: young kids are like, I don't like the way this
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: is starting. Let's shake it up a little bit, Let's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: punch some people. So I like the organization. Never have
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: loved the sport, but I certainly love that I got
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in on the ground floor of this organization.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And they've been good.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, once upon a time, expansion teams were terrible
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: for years before they gave you anything. We got stuff
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: right off the bat with this team, and so I mean,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm glad that they've kind of sunk their teeth in,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: But when you think about what they're up against and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the Seattle market place, I mean, right now, Mariners baseball
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: is as hot as it's ever been. I mean, that
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: includes the Griffy years that should have been a lot
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: more successful, that includes the two thousand and one you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: record setting Seattle Mariners. I don't think that the Mariners
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: have ever been better set up for a long run
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of success than what they are right now. And there
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: is certainly Mariner fever. I mean, to go from winning
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl and a week later people have an
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: appetite for our spring training coverage tells you where people
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: are with their you know, Mariner attention span. And then
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks. Nothing else needs to be said. They just
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: won a damn Super Bowl with a second year head coach,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: with the third youngest team in the National Football League,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: with a team that has the fifth most cap space
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League. They look like they're getting
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: ready to go on this fantastic run here for the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: next five to ten. Those windows are a little shorter
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League. You've got the potential, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I know we've talked about this before, but the great
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: potential that we're gonna have Sonics basketball at least announced,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and then that fever is gonna start. So you've got
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Mariner fever right now. You've certainly got Sea Hawk fever
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: right now. Coming off a World championship, the Sonics. The
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: day that they are announced, they're gonna merchandise is gonna
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: fly off the shelf for the Sonics, and that could
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: happen in this calendar year. I mean, I'm not trying
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to preach doom and gloom. I think the krack and
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: have carved out a niche in the Seattle marketplace. But
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: if they want it to explode, man, they just they
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: are just facing a lot of competition for eyeballs right now.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And here we are having the opportunity to kind of
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: dedicate ourselves for the first time this year, to crack
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and hockey this week, and then to start lackluster.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Like they did last night. Man, It's just really important.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It's just really important.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: That that's not you know, a warning of what's to
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: happen here for the next ten days, because I think
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: it is vitally important that the Crack can get into
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the playoffs this year and not get to the end
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: of the season and wonder, again, do we have the
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: right personnel, do we have the right head coach? We
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: can't let go of another head coach, right and the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: NHL pops them more so than just about any league
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: out there. So I think it's vitally important that this
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: team that is right now there, they're in the playoff picture,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: ends up in the playoffs for their own well being.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want them to have to dig out of
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: a hole because the fever for everything else in town
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: is running wild and the Crack can kind of get
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: lost behind because they're stuck in this on this island
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: of mediocrity.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: No, and I completely understand, and especially like if they're
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: this streaky team that goes ten games poorly, ten games well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: you know good, Well, if you're going ten games that
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: you're gonna play bad right now, then you've got ten
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: games that you're gonna play well.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Then that means you'd only have.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Five games left, six games left. Where you'd play poorly
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: and then go into the playoffs. You don't do in
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: the mav and you be screwed.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even think if the if.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: That yeah, yeah, if that continue, you don't make the playoffs.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, if you have a rough ten, a good
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: ten and then a rough five, yeah, you're not making
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. Yeah that's true. I mean, you're they're so
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: bunched up right now. And then the way that they
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: do the standings now yeah that I mean, you don't
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: have a lot of margin for error here. Yeah, you
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: need to play well and not dig a hole for
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: yourself here with twenty five games remaining on the hockey schedule,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: so you can't afford if you're laying Lambert and the
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: crack and to have that ten game ugly stretch again,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: you just can't.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: You got to end it right away, and and you
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: know what, go into Saint Louis tonight and take advantage
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: of a bad team and get yourselves right and just
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: forget about what happened last night. That term be a
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: gold fish last night was last night. You got to
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: move on and please don't repeat it in Saulis.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean one game it does you know,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: one game against a good team on their eyes and
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: they were just as fired up last night to be
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: back on the eye.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: So no big deal, no big deal.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I realize I'm talking about, you know, some
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: really crazy big picture scenarios based off what we've been
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: hearing granularly. One game, no big deal, and even tonight
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: no big deal. You can't really chalk up. But if
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you get to the end of two games and you've
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: lost to the Blues and you just lost back to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: back nights, and where experts are telling me how important
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: this early stretches. I mean, how we would feel tomorrow
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: morning about the Crack and how an average hockey fan,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: not a die hard Cracking fan, they're not gonna they're
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: not going to blow out the candle flame, but an
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: average to blow average Kraken fan that wants to be
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: turned onto a sport right now to yeah, you know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: coming off the Seahawks, they want to be a part
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: of that tribe, you know, that Seattle tribe and the
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Crack and have their opportunity because the Huskies basketball team's
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: not going to get there, the Krack can have their opportunity.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: To get you there.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: And I don't you know, considering how much success is
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: surrounding them. I mean you might see people like that
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and blow out the candle, you know, after back to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: back losses. I just to if we are talking tomorrow
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: about back to back losses to start this resumption of play,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I think it could be damaging.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I really I would.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I would agree, and I just I I worry about, yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: the place because with hockey being so new, and then,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: as you said, with all of the eyeballs and all
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: the attention and how things can get pulled. I mean,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: people only have so much, you know, limited money, unlimited
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: time and limit you know, all of these things where
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: you're going to focus your attention. Right, So this is
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: a prime opportunity right now before Mariners Baseball, the actual
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: season starts coming off the Sea, the Seahawks Super Bowl
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: high just go and grab that playoff spot. Those experts
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: that we've been listening to, I mean, I'm gonna believe
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: what they're saying. I'm gonna I'm gonna assume that they
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: know what they're talking about. So the idea that if
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: you can go, you've got these next five games to
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: make something of it. So now four games to really
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: show us what you've got and hopefully that that's going
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: to set the tone for the last twenty Grab.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: It, yeah, done. Not in in a championship. They're not championship.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not expecting that. But it can't play a little
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: playoff runt.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: It can't end in crash and burn.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: No, you know, there's too much pressure that the other
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: franchises in town are applying for interest. Yeah, so it
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: can't crash and burn. That's where they're at right now. Yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: otherwise the hole just gets deeper. All right, let's find
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: out what's on tap for the rest of the show.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: What's on te? What's on te?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Alredy Infness will join us today to talk about these things.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Hockey Guy KJR guy.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know Ian Forness.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: We don't get to talk to him as much as
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: we used to, so we're going to grab this opportunity.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Eight thirty Today, Ian will respond to some of the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: things Ashley have started the show with. Today, Krackon will
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: be back in action right here on Sports Radio ninety
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: three point three kJ R f M Tonight in Saint
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Louis against the Blues. Wouldn't be surprised if they run
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: into Jason Bateman. Haven't I'm really surprised Jason Bateman is
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: really latched onto Missouri at the latter stage of his career.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: First the Ozarks, and now he's got this new show
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: about Saint Louis that he's coming out. Oh yeah, Why
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: did Why did Jason Bateman suddenly stake his last stage
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: of his career on Saint Louis?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Very strange.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I wish I had an answer. But maybe he's just
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: that he wants to be a Midwest guy.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I guess maybe he just really loves U Romo's and
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Emo's pizza.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: M's spring training is, of course continuing. We will talk
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: about that today. Yesterday an eight eight tie in spring training. Yeah,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: they don't settle ties in spring training. They'll be back
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: in action today against the Cleveland Guardians and Bryce Miller
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: will be getting the start for the MS today. A
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: lot of runs being scored this year in Arizona, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I hope that has everything to do with the weather
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: and just kind of getting back into the flow of things,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: and that I always start to worry that Rob Manfred
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: has juiced balls again, because Rob Manfred does not really
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: like baseball and thinks that we all want thirteen to
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: twelve games. I'm not saying that's happening. I just always
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: worry about that when I see as many runs that
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: are being scored in spring training as they are. But
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to start some sort of conspiracy theory.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: College basketball will take on Wisconsin Saturday.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: It is Palm Thursday.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Jerry Palm will join us today to talk about where
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: college basketball season is right now as we just rush
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: toward March Madness. This Saturday also Debtla shremp Day. They're
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: gonna tip at one o'clock. He'll get his number retired.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So an exciting moment for a guy whose life looks
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: better than mine.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Sounders in Real Salt Lake will play Saturday at four
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: point thirty and that will be in Utah. They're off
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to a one and oh start. This will be their
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: first road match of the year and the NFL combine
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the pajama party that's been going on all week. Mike
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: McDonald even spoke yesterday. We'll find out from Greg Bell
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: at seven five what he learned from Mike McDonald and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: also what he interpreted for Mike McDonald's words. But the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: workouts start today. They don't start until noon our time,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: it'll be the defensive ends, defensive tackles, well, defensive linemen
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and linebackers, plus kickers and punters.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It's an odd combination.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't put them on the same bus to go,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: but yes, linebackers and defensive linemen are going to do
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: workouts today and so as part of our Pajama Party previews,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: we'll take a look at the group and maybe point
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: out a couple of guys that you should be looking
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: for today that could make sense for the Seahawks.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: So we'll do that next.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: It's Chucking Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three point
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: three KJRFM, Thursday morning, six thirty. Great to have you
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: a board. No Bucky Jacobson today or for the rest
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: of the week. According to reports.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Farting on a mountain, that's what we.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's the rumor out there. He's just gone
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to a nomadic existence, eating beans and not being in
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: touch with the rest of the world.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: I is not even heating them up either, You're an
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: eating them straight out the can.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That's the if. That's if that makes you happy, you
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: go for it, buddy.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: That's right, buddy.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just all about you. You know, you never
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: know what really makes people tick.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like a great life to me.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Just don't come back here, Like if you've decided I'm
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: going to be a nomad up in the mountains for
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: a week and then I'm going to go back to
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: the studio.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: You didn't have to explain it. You could have just
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: stopped us. Just don't come back here. Okay, yeah, you
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: could have stopped.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Right there, stay away.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Highlight that. Let Mike Benton run a promo.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: So today it's Ashley and I and yes, the pajama
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: party gets going. Today we've got our first official combine workouts,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: and again again I feel like I have to explain
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: this every single time. I think less and less teams
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: are pouring their interest into the actual NFL Combine workouts.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I think they evaluate players in different ways. There is
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: some information they don't ignore the information, but it sounds
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: like it's more about the interviews and the medicals, and
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: it sounds like now the combine is more about an
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: opportunity to meet for a pajama party and not really
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: wear pajamas. It's really to get there and talk about
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: trades and free agents and make contact with agents and
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: things of that nature sort of lay the ground work
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: for the moves that they're getting to make via free
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: agency and so on and so forth. But certainly there's
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: some there's some information to glean from the next four
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: days of workouts, and for us draft nuts, especially for
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a guy that everybody calls f other draft miss really
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: makes me blush. Yeh yeah, I'm gonna use the next
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: four days to really familiarize myself because I didn't watch
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: every single college football game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's hard to do that, it turns out, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: So what can we see today now that the pajama
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: party gets started. Guys will be working out in their
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: pajamas forty times, what have you. Well, it's gonna be
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the defensive ends, it's gonna be the linebackers, defensive tackles.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So defensive linemen and linebackers will work out today. And
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: so if you are looking for a couple of guys
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: to keep an eye on, I'm running this through the
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: prism of the Seahawks have the thirty second pick in
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the draft, and then I think they're going to move
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: out of that spot because they only have four draft
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: picks and there's no way that John Schneider is going
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: to accept only drafting four players this year, or at.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Least that's his mo.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a time where he did declare, I
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: don't really like this draft all that much, and he
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: ended up not moving around the board as much. So
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: maybe he'll do that this year. I mean, he does
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: have his first second in his third, so maybe we'll
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: just stand pat.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know, that'd be weird.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is out of his character and that
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: thirty second spot in the draft could be appealing to
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: some people, and that is something that we'll talk about
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: later in the show. Right now, let's talk about who's
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: working out today, cause you know, Greig Bell told us
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: yesterday that of all the six big name free agents
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: that the Seahawks have, he thinks that Boye Mafe is
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the most likely to be leaving the organization. So you're
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: losing an edge rusher, and what do people always say?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: You can't have enough edge rushers. So if you're gonna
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: d one anyway and you're subtracting one from the roster,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: then I got to believe that the Seahawks are going
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: to have the binochy lars out to check out defensive
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: ends and edge rushers and seek a replacement for Boye Mafe,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: and I think they'd be doing.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: It anyway just to seek that depth.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: So I should say this about the positions that are
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: working out today. Everybody's describing this year's draft is a
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: bad one, not even an average one. They're saying there's
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: a bad draft compared to ones in the past. But
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: where it is strong is the two lines, the offensive
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: lineman and the defensive linemen. That's where the strength resides
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: in this year's draft. And if the games are one
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: in the trenches, and everybody tells me that, say one
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: in the trenches, then if those two positions are strong,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: those two groups are strong, then there's some strength to
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: extract from this draft. I was looking at PFF's rankings
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: of the defensive lineman and what stood out to me
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: about their rankings was how many front seven guys that
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: they have ranked highly for this draft. I mean, they
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: have five of their top twenty one are edge rushers,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: twelve projected edge rusher just edge rushers and the first
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: two rounds twelve six defensive tackles they have projected in
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: the first two rounds and six linebackers projected to go
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: in the first two rounds. So you think about sixty
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: four picks in the first two rounds, and Pro Football
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Focus says that there are twenty four that are in
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: the front seven that will be working out today. Twenty
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: four of the top sixty four players will be working
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: out today starting at noon, and so to me this
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: is sort of a must watch.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: But then again, i'm father draft miss and you're not.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: That's true, and so this is where a lot of
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: the talent's going to be aligned for this upcoming draft.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: And in terms of a couple of guys that maybe
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: are going to be at thirty two or I think
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: more likely drop into the second round where John Schneider
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: trades back, Zion Young of Missouri is somebody to keep
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: an eye on. They just highlighted him this morning on
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Sports Center six five sixty two. Keep in mind what
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: we're replacing in a boy A mafe is a six
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: foot three inch, two hundred and sixty pound edge rusher.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: So and one of the reasons that Greg said that
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: maybe the Seahawks aren't going to fight to keep Mafey
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: is that they don't feel that he is very effective
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: as a run defender. And Mike McDonald and his defense,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: he wants guys that cannot only. He doesn't want you
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: to be some one trick pony in his defense. You've
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: got to be able, and you should be able to
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: not be a weakness in one aspect of the of
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: your game, even if you flourish in the other aspect
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: of the game. And I'm not sure Mafey ever got
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: to the point where he flourished as a pass rusher.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: So if you're looking to improved that with a more
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: well rounded edge rusher number one, you're probably looking for
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: somebody of that size and that Zion Young six sixty
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: two is in that size and somebody that actually uh
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: is effective in both defending the pass and the run.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: So that's somebody to think about. And then I'll stay
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: in the Midwest. I'll just jump over a state if
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: you don't mind, and go to Illinois. Gabe Akish spelled
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: jac As was outstanding for the Fighting a LIONI this
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: past year. He's a little more stout. He's six' three
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: and two seventy, five but he is a football, player
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: and he might not grade out so well in these
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: workouts here. Today BUT i Think mike. McDonald i don't
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Think mike McDonald sacrifices those. Things think he values those.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Things BUT i think most importantly to him as he
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: wants football players who love the. Game, uh AND i
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: think he finds those guys easier to mold than the
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: athletic free that are only somewhat interested in becoming.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Great, yeah that's a good way to describe, IT i. Think.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah so those are a couple of names to look out,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: for but it should be a great day if you're
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: into this sort of, thing to See Reuben, bain to
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: See David bailey who Kept Texas tech in that game
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Against oregon by, Himself Casius howel From TEXAS a and
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: M Keldric falk Of. Auburn almost all the experts have
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: those four guys ranked in their top fifteen players in this.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Draft and then you've also got like A. Tj parker
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: From clemson and in A Keen mesidor out Of miami
