1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Here we go.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: Petros will join us, by the way at four o'clock

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: this afternoon. We're gonna lot have a lot of shatter

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: from Petrose on the Rams perspective from LA. I wonder

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: if RAM fans are fired up for this game, like

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: we are, all four of them in Seattle. So we'll

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 2: find out from Petros at four o'clock. And then Kevin

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: Harlan is going to join us.

9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

10
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: He's actually calling the game in Seattle with Kurt Warner

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: for Westwood One on Sunday.

12
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 4: You know what happened an NFC championship game featuring Seattle.

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: Let me remind you about that formation.

14
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 5: Wilson Priston Jo tied in over time at twenty two

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 5: shotgunsnap winds up one, launching spiral down the middle. That's it,

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 5: over the shoulder, touching to go line hit a touchdown,

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 5: hits a touchdown. Let's grab by curse. Seattle is one.

18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 5: The Seahawks have one, a thirty five yard touchdown pass

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 5: Wilson tuck curse, and the Seahawks are going back to

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 5: the Super Bowls.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Your question, yes, he yes, I think he does. He

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: has he has.

23
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that with him coming up

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: at five o'clock tonight a coaching matchup in this game,

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: man McDonald versus McVeigh, And I don't know, Man, I

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: sent this out on social media either yesterday, day before,

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: could have been this morning.

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 2: The days are all blending together, as are my stupid posts.

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: By the way that you know, I, I guess I

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: just feel this way about the game on Sunday. If

32
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: you told me that you have the number one defense

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL and you're playing at home, and you

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: have a top five scoring offense to compliment that number

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: one defense right in the National Football League, I'd say, okay, fine,

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: I feel good right like? I mean, could they lose,

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: of course, could they win?

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Of course?

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: Could they get blown out? I don't think so. Could

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: they blow out the Rams? I don't think so. But

41
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: I think you feel as good as you possibly could

42
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: feel going into a game like this because.

43
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: You have everything you need.

44
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: You got a kick ass d you're playing at home,

45
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: you got a good quarterback, got a good offense with

46
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 2: some good weapons. I mean the Charles Cross thing actually

47
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: that came out today, or they got a monitor that

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: and Josh Jones is already out. I mean, we're going

49
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: to see is it Amari Knight?

50
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Is that right? Kite? Is that his name? I'm already Kite,

51
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: for God's sake.

52
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: So that freaks me out a little bit against the

53
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: Rams defense. But no, I mean, I don't think anybody

54
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: could feel unbelievably cocky, arrogant, over the moon confident for

55
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: a game like this, Like if you're playing a high

56
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: school team, right you think we're gonna dog walk those

57
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: guys on Sunday. But you add all that stuff in

58
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 2: Dick and Jackson that I just talked about, I think

59
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: you feel about as good as you can feel.

60
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: I feel better about the Seahawks right now as I

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: have at any point in the season. I feel probably

62
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: as I've got as much nervousness if I were a

63
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 4: Rams fan about my team right now, that I've had.

64
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: At any point in the season.

65
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 4: But let's just throw out how the teams are playing,

66
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 4: and let's just look at this rest factor. A couple

67
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: numbers for you extra day of rest. Let's not talk

68
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: about the three games that the Rams that play in

69
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: the road for a second. Let's just talk about the

70
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: one extra day rest Seattle gets over LA. Yeah, well

71
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: that's happened in the conference title game forty four times,

72
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: and the team with the extra day of rest is

73
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 4: twenty seven and seventeen. And if that team is at home,

74
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 4: they're twenty one and seven straight up. Yeah, if they're

75
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: the home team getting one day of rest. Now we

76
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: talk about the third straight playoff road game for the Rams.

77
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: Those teams are twelve and thirty in the playoffs and

78
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: nine and twenty eight when they go into the game

79
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: as underdogs.

80
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeh.

81
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Where the two thousand and five Pittsburgh Steelers one of

82
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: those teams that won three straight games on the road.

83
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: I believe they were because they were a six seed.

84
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: They were, So let's exercise those demons. Yeah, right, go,

85
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: how about we exercised two demons. We'll exercise the Pittsburgh

86
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: Demon and the Patriot Demon in the San Francisco in

87
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: about two.

88
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: And a half weeks from now.

89
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 6: Like it.

90
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: And by the way, think about that from a Niner

91
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: fans either way, Jackson, if you're a Niner fan, either

92
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: the Seahawks or the Rams are going to play in

93
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl in your stadium, right, I mean, it

94
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: sucks either way for those clowns down there in the

95
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: Bay Area. Which just adds a little more kind of

96
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: you know, added bonuses. I guess, a little more intrigued

97
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: for me, a little more. You know, something to play

98
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: for in this game that you get to do it

99
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: in their park. And this is the closest super Bowl

100
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: that the Hawks could play to their own city. It's

101
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: the closest NFL stadium outside of Luman obviously, So no

102
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: having to go to Detroit, no having to go to Arizona,

103
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: no having to go across the country to New York

104
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: City for God's sakes, three thousand miles away. This should

105
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: be if and I say if, if the Seahawks win

106
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: this game on Sunday, that place should be crawling with

107
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: Seahawks fans in two weeks from now.

108
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: You should be a home game, right it be more

109
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: even MetLife right, Well, it's hard.

110
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to do that sometimes because of the

111
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: way the tickets are distributed, of course, like it's a

112
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: big corporate event. Obviously, I'm just talking about the bars

113
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: and the restaurants going on down there.

114
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: But remember, should be packed with SWK fans.

115
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 7: We were saying the same thing about MetLife in New

116
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 7: York and saying it's gonna be so corporate, it's gonna

117
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 7: be so celebrity. It's New York and it ended up

118
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 7: being a whole game for the Seahawks, right, so this

119
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 7: should be even more so.

120
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: But again, I.

121
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 7: Get we're a get ahead of ours, So I know

122
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 7: it's such an if. I know, and I don't want

123
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 7: to be the Saturday Night Live Rachel Drafts Debbie Downer.

124
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: I know, the Debbie Downer of this show this week.

125
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 7: I know, but that's because I'm the most concerned of

126
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 7: the three of us, and I'm the most scared of

127
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 7: the Rams. God's with Matthew freaking stuff. I'm with the

128
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 7: freaking the Goods and DeVante freaking out.

129
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: This is the game that all of us feared from

130
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: the start. We don't want to play the Rams. Why

131
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: do you think we're all rooting for Carolina? Why do

132
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: you think we're all rooting for the Chicago freaking Bears.

133
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: For God's sake, So all of us wanted to avoid

134
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: this game if possible, But it would also make it

135
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: a little more sweeter if they do get there, because

136
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: what's gonna what would have happened? And you know, not

137
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: that you need to listen to this stuff but what

138
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: would have happened if the Bears would have won or

139
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: Carolina would have won. Some jacket said, well, you didn't

140
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: have to play the Rams again, right, you got lucky?

141
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: You care?

142
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's not a factor because now you've beaten

143
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: maybe the second best team in the NFL with the Rams.

144
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: You have boat raced the team in San Francisco that

145
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: was annihilating people up until you played them in week eighteen.

146
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: So they would earn this.

147
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: They would have to earn this, man, they would have

148
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: to go the hard way to get this done. So

149
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: I'm just really pumped up man for Sunday. I mean,

150
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: Saturday night is going to be a freaking just long

151
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: ass weight. It is going to be a long ass

152
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: weight on Saturday night. I'm already talking to my wife

153
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: about what time we're going to get there to the

154
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: game on Sunday. We got there a little bit later

155
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: for the Niner games. So she's like, hey, just play

156
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: it the same way. You don't want to jinxit. Wear

157
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: the same shirt, wear the same underwear, all that stuff.

158
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wake up if I do get sleep at

190
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,200

Speaker 1: Ye're back.

194
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: Well, before we talk about the game Sunday with the Rams,

195
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: get your thoughts on the AFC game, all that stuff,

196
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: let's talk about the Sean McDermott firing, the press conference

197
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: that accompanied that with the owner and the general manager,

198
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 2: which is being panned by everybody. What do you make

199
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: of the overall situation in Buffalo, man.

200
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think they could make the situation more

201
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: awkward than it was on Monday, when out of the

202
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: blue came the statement from Bill's owner Terry Pegula that

203
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott had done an admirable job in his nine

204
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: seasons as coach. I mean, you have a typo five

205
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: words in the most important press release when you send

206
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: out maybe two a year. So that was the sign

207
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: that this was going to be a rough week. And

208
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: the press conference today was all over the place. It

209
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: was way too long. You always hear pr people cut

210
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 3: it off after a certain period of time. Two more,

211
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: I mean you say two more, that ask two more,

212
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: and then it's over. They get up and leave. They

213
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: just kept going and going and going. It felt like

214
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: they were so desperate to get people to see it

215
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 3: their way. They were willing to sit there as long

216
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: as it took until people would agree with them. And

217
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 3: I credit the folks who cover the bills. A lot

218
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 3: of times you'll see a press conference where there's a

219
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: lot of softballs, there's excessive concern with access and having

220
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: a good relationship with the team. Those folks asked the

221
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: right questions. They served as the liaisons of the fans

222
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: who have forked over thousands of dollars each for PFLs

223
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 3: for this new stadium, and they demanded answers, and they

224
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: wanted to understand why Sean McDermott took the fall and

225
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: not Brandon Bean and how you thread that needle if

226
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: you even can, And they tried. I don't think they succeed,

227
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: but they tried.

228
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 4: I don't think it was a very good look by

229
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott to whine about the officiating to the media

230
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: after the game. But was it the right call or

231
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: the wrong call? Because we've seen similar calls go the

232
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: opposite direction.

233
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: I seem to recall twenty years ago a certain on

234
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: the brink of the Hall of Fame head coach doing

235
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: some very loud complaining about officiating in Super Bowl forty.

236
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm mistaken, but coaches in those moments when they

237
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: feel like their team has gotten screwed, and these games

238
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: come down often to just a play here, a play there.

239
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: A bad call for you, is a good call for

240
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: the other team. Bouncing the oblong football August of wins.

241
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: And I think that McDermott's point now, the fact that

242
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: he talks so much about it, he addressed in this

243
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: press conference. Then he called one of the reporters that

244
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: cover the bills from the team playing with more. The

245
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: ultimate complaint was why did we have to rush this,

246
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: why did we not slow it down? And I think

247
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: under the rule is written, they got that call right

248
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: that it wasn't a catch, it was an interception because

249
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: Brandon cook didn't survive the ground as they say. He

250
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: went down, hit the ground, ball came out, got intercepted.

251
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: But here's the problem with the NFL rule in that regard.

252
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: Back on December seven, Steelers Ravens, there was a ball

253
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: tip to the line of scrimmage. Aaron Rodgers caught it

254
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: as he was going to the ground, hit the ground,

255
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: ball came out, it was intercepted by the Ravens. On

256
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: replay review they ever turned into a catch, and the

257
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: VP of Instant Replay, Mark Butterworth did a pool report

258
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: after the game and explained it in a way that

259
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: if you apply it to Brandon Cooks, that's a catch.

260
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: You got your two feet down, you're going to the ground,

261
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: your knee hits, you're down by contact plays over. So

262
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: I think all those fans should demand some sort of

263
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 3: explanation as to which standard is the standard and did

264
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: they apply the right standard to Brandon Cooks. And I

265
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: think Sean McDermott also since then, you know, anybody's ever

266
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: been in a situation where something bad is gonna happen,

267
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: whether you're gonna get fired from your job, whether you're

268
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: gonna get your ass kicked out of school, whether you're

269
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: get dres kicked out of the hoigh. We're getting broken up,

270
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: you know, we're breaking up whatever. Maybe you sense it's coming.

271
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: I think McDermott one of the reasons why he said

272
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 3: what he said and spoke about it at length. I

273
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: think he knew that that play wasn't just keeping the

274
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: Bills from THEFC Championship. That play was ending his employment

275
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: with the team.

276
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: Mike Florida's with us. Mike, hope you got a pen nearby.

277
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: I got a three part question here, prob, but I

278
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: know you can handle it. Number one, do you think

279
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: the Bills will reach out to Mike Tomlin about their vacancy?

280
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Number two?

281
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: Is there a fit for McDermott of these six available

282
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: jobs now that he's on the market. Number three, do

283
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: you think Kak Clint Kubiak will get one of these

284
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: open jobs?

285
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: Well? As to Mike Tomlin, he's definitely not coaching. In

286
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, I chased that down and confirmed it

287
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: over and over again this past weekend. Maybe next year,

288
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: but some would say there's no guarantee he's coming back

289
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: anytime soon. Jay Glazer, who knows Tomlin really well, has

290
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: said that that you know, it may not be just

291
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: a year, so we'll see, but he's not going to

292
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: be coaching the Buffalo Bills barring a dramatic change of heart.

293
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: McDermott I think should be in play for some of

294
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: these other jobs. I think both the Dolphins and the

295
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: Titans should have pressed pause before they made their hires

296
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: after Sean McDermott became available with gods to playoff seven

297
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: Street seasons. And you can say, well because he had

298
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 3: Josh Allen. Well, maybe there were some other reasons for

299
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: it as well. The question becomes if you want to

300
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: rebound and take a job of a bad team like

301
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, the Browns or the Raiders, are you ready

302
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 3: to do that? Or you want to take a year

303
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: off and gather yourself and pick a good spot for

304
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven. Because you get two years a buyout

305
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: from the Bills, he doesn't have to work this year.

306
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: He can take a year and really plan his next move.

307
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 3: And as the Kubak, right now, the trend is to

308
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: hire coaches who have head coaching experience. The four jobs

309
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: that have been built so far this year all guys

310
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: who have been head coaches, either at the NFL or

311
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: college level, and I think that there may not be

312
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: many who have never been head coaches before, because teams

313
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: recognize your rolling the dice on guys who have never

314
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: been head coaches before. It's a different skill set to

315
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: run the whole team, to speak to the offense and

316
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: the defense, to be the CEO of the organization. It's

317
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: not just x's and o's, so it remains TBD. And

318
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: I think from Kubiak standpoint, he may have to ask himself,

319
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: do I want to take one of the bad jobs

320
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 3: or do I want to wait another year and make

321
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: my star rise a little bit higher in twenty twenty six?

322
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: What's the interest level amongst gms and owners in Kurt Signetti.

323
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: Well, I ran this up the flag pole a few

324
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: weeks ago. Give him there's a fifteen million dollar buyout,

325
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: and he's in position to make like thirteen or fourteen

326
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: million a year now in Indiana. When he redoes his contract,

327
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: there's an automatic trigger that puts him back to the

328
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: table and is going to put him among the highest

329
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: stayed coaches, or he can avoid the contract without a buyout.

330
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: You have to be ready to make a commitment, and

331
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: you better be convicted. And he's sixty four, and some

332
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: people say it louder than they should, but there are

333
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: decision makers who regard it as a young man's game. Now.

334
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm very sensitive to the Age Discrimination and Employment Act,

335
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: especially since i'm sixty now, but I've always been aware

336
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: of it. If you're over the age of forty, can't

337
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: be discriminate eight against based on age. But the reality

338
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: is SIG ninety sixty four, And how much time are

339
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: we really going to get if we make this investment.

340
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: How long is he going to coach? And he's never

341
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: coached at the NFL level, And he said last week,

342
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: I'm not an NFL guy. If he inspired to be

343
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: an NFL head coach, he would have spent at least

344
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: one year at some point in his career as an

345
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: assistant with an NFL team, just to see what it's like.

346
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: You can see if it's something he would want to do.

347
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: So I don't think he's leaving, but I think it'd

348
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: be malpractice not to at least make the phone call.

349
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: Given what he did in Indiana, it's one of the

350
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: great times I've ever seen, no doubt.

351
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: Well, Mike Florial's with us, and Mike, if I ask

352
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: you who's going to win this week, and you might

353
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: say I have made my predictions, yet that comes later.

354
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: Come on, give us a break, throw us a bone.

355
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: We pay you a zillion.

356
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: Dollars to do this show every week. We need to

357
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: know we're in the game. We're in the game. We

358
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: should get special considerations because we're playing in the game.

359
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: On Sunday, who wins this weekend?

360
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: I checked my most recent check that I received. I

361
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: did not see zillions. Oh maybe there was an error.

362
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: That check was said to the decimal point was I

363
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: can go back and change the decimal point if you'd

364
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: like me to, and then I'll tell you who I

365
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: think is gonna win. Look, I'll make my final decision

366
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: tomorrow morning. And I haven't really thought it through yet.

367
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: And I'm not just pandering here because well, clearly I

368
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: think the Rams are gonna win. I think the Rams

369
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: are gonna win, and I think the Broncos could win.

370
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: I think this plays out perfectly for the Denver Broncos

371
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: to have Jared Stidham playing and everyone picking against them

372
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: five and a half point underdogs. Sean Payton can use

373
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: that to poking product guys and get them pissed off

374
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: and feel disrespected. I mean, it's not like bone Nick's

375
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. He's bone Nicks.

376
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: He's unproven, largely speaking, grand scheme of things. This isn't

377
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: like plucking out Drew Brees and popping in Luke McCown

378
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: for crying out loud. So I don't know there's a

379
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: huge drop off. Stidham has been in that offense a

380
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: year longer than bon Nick, so I think the Broncos

381
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: could win. Patriots are zero and four all time in

382
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: Denver in the postseedon, including Owen three and the Brady

383
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: Belichick era with all those great teams they had oh

384
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: and three. So I'm leaning Broncos Rams, But I'll make

385
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: my final decision in the morning.

386
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: Why are you not?

387
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: I put it live and said, Seahawks, Yeah, just to kiss,

388
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: but I kiss, but you want me to know what

389
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 3: I think. Five hundred and eighty one yards of offense

390
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: when they played last time and up sixteen points, and

391
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: they stepped in a pothole. They won't step in a

392
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: pothole this time if they can build another lead like

393
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: the one they.

394
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Are I appreciate the answer absolutely. I'm glad. Why are

395
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: you not concerned with the fatigue factor?

396
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: Three straight road games, a couple of them on way

397
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: out East, and they've defended one hundred and forty five

398
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: defensive plays in the last two weeks to the Seahawks sixty.

399
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not saying I'm not concerned. I

400
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: just when when your legacy is on the line, when

401
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl both is on he's a professional athlete,

402
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: Like they're going to be tired because they played an

403
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: extra game. I don't think that's how it works. They're

404
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 3: going to show up and they're gonna be ready to

405
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 3: go and made the best team win. I'd like to

406
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: see Seattle win. I've got two nephews who are huge

407
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: Seahawks fans, so and actually I wouldn't like them to win,

408
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: because then they're gonna they're gonna be hitting Uncle Mike

409
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 3: up for tickets to the Super Bowl. So maybe it's

410
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 3: better for me at the Rams win. But I just

411
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: think that the Rams are overall over the course of

412
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 3: the full season, the slightly better team h and Matthew Stafford,

413
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: Sam Donald. I mean, Donald's had a great year, but

414
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: Stafford's had a spectacular year, and they appreciate the moment.

415
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 3: They know how to go out and make the big plays.

416
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: And look they to pull that win out in Chicago

417
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: when it felt like all the momentum was pointing against

418
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: the Rams. There was a shot at Stafford after the

419
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: Rams went three and out to start overtime where I

420
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 3: wish the camera would have lingered on him because look

421
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: on his face was called, crap, this is over. We're

422
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: just done, and it's amazing they won that game.

423
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: Well, not only will your nephews be hitting you up

424
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: for tickets if the Seahawks win, but so will me

425
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: and Dick by the way too. So can you connect

426
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: the can you help us out if they man my.

427
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: Nephews already get my tickets?

428
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: Okay, Well if you hear of anybody else, let your

429
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: guys in Seattle know all right, Mike, great stuff, man,

432
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: the Rams, that he's picking the ramp. Who the hell

433
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: does he think he is going on to Seattle Radio

434
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: saying something like that, Well does he have a point?

435
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: Is he right?

436
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: Come back and talk about next on ninety three three KJRFM.

443
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 6: A right, really good defense, really good scheme, good players. So,

444
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 6: like always, man, we're really excited about this opportunity to

445
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 6: play these guys. And uh, yeah, you just gotta have

446
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 6: a really good week of practice for me. I gotta

447
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 6: you know, continue to attack, you know all the things

448
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 6: that I need to attack you. Uh, just getting ready,

449
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 6: like I said, getting ready to play these guys, but

450
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 6: but also just get my body right, get my body

451
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 6: right to be ready for Sunday.

452
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: Well, that last part is the most important piece of

453
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: that commentary for sure.

454
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: The rest of that's just out of the clicheo.

455
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: You imagine a guy comes on the podium and says,

456
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: you know what, they're not a great secondary. Their defensive

457
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: line is kind of mid linebackers and whatever. You know,

458
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: I kind of wish we were playing the Bears, to

459
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 2: be honest with you, whatever, There's not much there I

460
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: wanted to hear.

461
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: You know, I don't believe Matthew Stafford deserves to be

462
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame.

463
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: But you know what, by the end of my career,

464
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: I will be right. That's what I want to hear.

465
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 7: What I want to hear is just something that's not

466
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 7: cliche out of.

467
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Literally any player. Guys.

468
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: Look, the press conferences are so coach though. You mirror

469
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 4: your head coach, and that's what he gives you.

470
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: The end of it though, But that's the way Darnold's

471
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: always been number one, even before he was with McDonald's

472
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: been like that.

473
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: The whole team's like that.

474
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 7: Now.

475
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care, Yeah, you're right, sure, I mean,

476
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: you know, it kind of adds to the obvious, the

477
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: the emotion of the of the of the of the

478
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: game on Sunday, when guys are talking smack and running

479
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: their pie holes. But how do you think that worked

480
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 2: out for the Niners and Diamadoor big mouth Leanor Absolutely, Yeah,

481
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: So some of that's embarrassing, right, some of it gets

482
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: to be a little bit ridiculous. And you know, this

483
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: is a workmanlike football team. I mean they to steal

484
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: a cliche. They put their hard hats on their lunch

485
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: panels and they go to work. And it's been working right.

486
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: I mean, we were talking about this guy. Who was

487
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: I talking with about this? Was it yesterday? Was it

488
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: something coming up that we taped for today. I have

489
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: no idea where the Seahawks don't get a lot of

490
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: penalties called on them, the defense doesn't get a lot

491
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: of penalties called on them. And you saw that video

492
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: that came out over the weekend of Diamador Leonore headbutting

493
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Smith and Jigba during the game on Sunday,

494
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: he just walked away like whatever.

495
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean.

496
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: I know you would agree with this one thousand percent.

497
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: If he did that to Dk Metcalf, DK Metcalf would

498
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: have torn his head off and crap down his neck.

499
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: He met Cap takes swing at him. If he would

500
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: have done that, he would have punched the guy and

501
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: probably would have.

502
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: Gotten kicked out of the game.

503
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: But the fact that Jackson Smith and jig but just said, dude,

504
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 2: who are you like, what the hell's wrong with you?

505
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: And just walked away? Was phenomenal.

506
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what a couple of things about

507
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: this game that I think we need to talk about.

508
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: Number One, this.

509
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: Is ripe ripe for the emotional hedge bet on Sunday. Okay,

510
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: put put some money on the Rams plus the two

511
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: and a half. Because here's the best part about that.

512
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: The Hawks win by two, you're a winner either way.

513
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: Hawks win by two, you're going to a super Bowl

514
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: and you've won the bet. But if the Rams win

515
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: the game by you know, I mean, if they just

516
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: win the game period, at least you're walking home with

517
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: a couple hundred bucks or one hundred dollars bill or

518
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: whatever you decided to put on the game.

519
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: Would you pay one hundred bucks to go to a

520
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl?

521
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 2: I would, of course, fifty bucks, ten bucks, whatever it

522
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: is that you can afford. So think about the emotional

523
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: hedge number one for this game on Sunday. And then

524
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: number two, I also wonder who's got the advantage when

525
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: it comes to the coaching staff, because this is something

526
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: I want to talk to Harden about. Dick at five

527
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight. You can argue you've got the best offensive

528
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: mind in the game in McVeigh.

529
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: You can argue it.

530
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: Some would say Shanahan, some would say Read or whatever,

531
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: but you could certainly argue.

532
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: McVeigh and make a good argument for that.

533
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: And then you could absolutely argue they have the best

534
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: defensive mind in the game right now in Mike McDonald.

535
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: And what do we always say if it comes to

536
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: defense versus offense? We want the defense. We want the

537
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: defense every single fricking time. We wanted it against Michigan,

538
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: didn't have it, and you lost the game because of

539
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: it in some ways.

540
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: Right.

541
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 2: So, and by the way, you know, McDonald's got some

542
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: of that Michigan Wolverine blood in him as well. So

543
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: I love the matchup. That's why I feel good about

544
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: the game on Sunday, Dick. I know that Sean's got

545
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: the advantage and experience. This is his sixteenth playoff game,

546
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: and it's number two for McDonald. You know, Sean McVay

547
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: is going to be forty on Saturday, by the way,

548
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: forty years old. He's already coaching his sixteenth playoff game.

549
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: It's bananas. But I think if we're gonna sit here

550
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 2: and this is one of those few times where our

551
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: opinions on a certain matter actually benefit us this weekend.

552
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna sit here for fifteen to twenty years and

553
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: always say, well, I think I'd rather have the defense

554
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: over the offense.

555
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Well you got it. You got it this weekend, Yes

556
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: you do.

557
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: And I'll go back to something that Jackson said when

558
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 4: you talked about being nervous about Stafford and Adams on Puka,

559
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 4: and he's exactly right. He named the three guys you're

560
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 4: probably most nervous about. Now, let's go back and think

561
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: about big games AFC, NFC Championships, super Bowls, National championship games.

562
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 4: What happens when the best quarterback and skill position players.

563
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: Yep, go up against the best team.

564
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: And because if you eliminate I would, wouldn't you say

565
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: if you eliminated Darnold, JSN and Cooper, Cup or Rashid,

566
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: and you eliminated Stafford, Davante, Adams and Puka and just

567
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: looked at the rest of the team, would we not

568
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 4: all agree.

569
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: That Seattle has the best rest of the team. See

570
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing.

571
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: It's really funny that we actually had this same conversation.

572
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: You don't remember it, but We had this exact same

573
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: conversation before that first game against LA and I sat

574
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: on the air then that I thought the Hawks were

575
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: the better team. And I got my head bit off

576
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 2: by somebody on this radio show. By the way, it

577
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: wasn't you, who was the guy behind the glass. Okay,

578
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: I got my head. What are you talking about? Oh yeah,

579
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 2: go back and listen to it. You know what I

580
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 2: really wish we could do by this is not to

581
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: do with anything. Can we have like a transcript that

582
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: we can search of the radio show so we can

583
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 2: go back and just enter a keyword, right, whatever? But

584
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: I remember we had that exact same conversation, and I

585
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: said at that time on the air that I thought

586
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: the Hawks had the better roster, and Jackson, you fought

587
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: me on that.

588
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying you're wrong, Jackson.

589
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 2: You might be right about that, but you fought me

590
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 2: on that then because you thought the Rams had the

591
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: better roster than And I wonder, here we are a

592
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: month and a half later, do we still believe that?

593
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I do remember that because I said that

594
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 7: the Rams defense was really damn good, and that Rams

595
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 7: defense has fallen apart. All you need to do is

596
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 7: watch these last you know, six games or so, and

597
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 7: understand that their past defense is not nearly what it

598
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 7: was going into that first game. So no, Safi, you're

599
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 7: at this moment for sure, the Seahawks have I think.

600
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: A much better overall roster.

601
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 7: Again, my fears, it's probably irrational, but my fears land

602
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 7: in three human beings.

603
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: It's Stafford, Nakua, and Adams.

604
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 7: They I don't fear a single human on that sideline

605
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 7: other than those three.

606
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: So let's think about it. Those three.

607
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's think about two years ago, softiing hour at

608
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 4: the game.

609
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: We had the better quarterback in Michael Pennix, and the.

610
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 4: Better wide receivers, and they had the better roster, and

611
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 4: they kicked the crap.

612
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: Out of us.

613
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the second half. But but that might that

614
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: might happen.

615
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 7: But Dick on Sunday, what did we say though, is

616
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 7: that we were down seven for so long. The Husky's

617
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 7: had a shot in that game, and I think the

618
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 7: Rams are just gonna hang around with.

619
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: The cream Roads to the top.

620
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: In that Michigan game, they were just they were better

621
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: than us on the line of scrimmage, and that was

622
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: a little bit frustrating for me. At least because the

623
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: offensive line of Washington got shoved around a little bit,

624
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: you know, I mean Dylan Johnson not playing. Let's not

625
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: forget that was a huge factor. So I don't mean

626
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: to make this a Hoskey conversation, but you brought it up.

627
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 2: But the point is the point is the point that

628
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: when you're when you're dominant on the offensive and defensive lines,

629
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 2: and you play a tougher brand of football than your

630
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 2: opponent does, which I think the Hawks do. I'm not

631
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: saying the Rams are a bunch of you know, pushover

632
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 2: at all. I'm not saying they're soft. I just think

633
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: the Hawks are an elite, elite physical football team. What

634
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: they did to the forty nine ers in Week eighteen,

635
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: I was like you watching that game and I was

636
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: My job was hitting the floor, guys.

637
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: I was really impressed.

638
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 2: And it's not very often that I'm that floored by

639
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: one of my teams because we're always nagging them about stuff,

640
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: and we were critical and skeptical and all that stuff cynical.

641
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: That was really amazing what the Seahawks did to that

642
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: Niner team in Week eighteen, and then what they did

643
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: again in the game two weeks later where they were

644
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: the tougher team and it wasn't even close. They've got

645
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: more composure, they played more physical, They're tougher, they're nastier,

646
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: and they're angrier, and I just think in this sport,

647
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: I'd always rather have that over the finesse team.

648
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Rams are all finesse.

649
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: Trust me. They can run, they can stop the run.

650
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: They're very good on both sides of the ball. I

651
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: just think the Hawks are a little bit better, and

652
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: they're probably two and a half points better, by the way,

653
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: and that's why Vegas has them favored in the game.

654
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna break a little fun with audio next on

655
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: ninety three three KJARFM.

656
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: It's now time for Sufday and Digg's fun with Audio.

Speaker 7: That's that?

667
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: David? What's that? Dick?

00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: Sunday or was the game on Saturday?

671
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Was it Saturday? Or Saturday?

672
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: God?

673
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: It's what one actually had forgotten with one's go back

674
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: to last Wednesday when the Seahawks played the Niners. One

675
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: more clip to play from the Hawk's ass kicking of

676
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: the Niners last weekend. Here now was Rashid she Heed's

Speaker 2: play voice Will Gavin on Talk Sports in the United Kingdom.

679
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: In the middle of the Field's Rashid shit Heed. He's

680
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: gonna receive it right on the e off.

681
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: The Seahooks out at the five yardline, down to ten

682
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty twenty five.

683
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Cuts max five to man, gets the hold y house fult.

684
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: He's only way down to the fifty isline.

685
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: Anybody, It's a dotyty nine twenty tay about ten fine touchdown.

686
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 5: The Seahawks take it ninety six yards all the way

687
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 5: for a touchdown.

688
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: See, I like it.

689
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: I like it better when it's not in English and

690
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: it's like a Korean broadcast or a Russian broadcast, because

691
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: then you can't understand anything until you hear the guy

692
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: say rashi and then it just goes away again, right

693
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: like you get the gist of it.

694
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: But I feel like I'm hearing a guy called soccer games.

695
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: It's listening to a British guy calling American football is

696
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 4: kind of bizarre.

697
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: Well, and the good thing about it is Jackson, are

698
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: you friends with Arnold White?

699
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: By the way, not friend? Okay? Well I might shoot him.

700
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: A note because every time I watched Ted Lasso, I

701
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: see him using that stupid handheld microphone and he's pressing

702
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: it up against his mouth.

703
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: I guess that's the thing. In the UK.

704
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: This guy was not doing that. He was wearing a

705
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: headset mic like we use on remote. I want to

706
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: ask Arnold, can you just use a normal microphone, like

707
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: a normal broadcast or that.

708
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: I don't know.

709
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: It's the dumbest thing ever. Why would you want to

710
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: hold it when it's attached to your head? It reminds

711
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: me ofinee Fortyase you know, yes, yes, totally. So we gotta,

712
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: we gotta. If we ever have him, all we got

713
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: to ask him. Remind me to ask him about that. Anyway.

714
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: That was a random thing, but whatever, Hey Dick, did

715
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: you happen to hear? What's that?

716
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: Sunday Night, Bill Simmons said in his live Netflix podcast

717
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: that the Seahawks have never won a Super Bowl. Here

718
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: was that clip, followed by his apology and explanation on

719
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: Monday show.

720
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 10: Yeah New England Rams, which was a lousy super Bowl Seattle,

721
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 10: New England. Maybe Seattle, New England is the best one

722
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 10: because Seattle's never won a Super Bowl.

723
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: You can't go and they would be getting their revenge

724
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: on that one day.

725
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 10: Nayatewn I made a horrible air on Sunday's podcast.

726
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: I just want to talk it out.

727
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 10: I feel like I've been in a really good spot

728
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 10: with the Seattle sports fan bases Sunday Night doing a

729
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 10: live pod of Netflix. A lot of stuff going coming up, bears, rams, heads,

730
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 10: heads spinning all these different directions, and we're talking about

731
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 10: super Bowl matchups. And I say the Seahawks never won

732
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 10: a super Bowl. Now you can say I'm I'm old.

733
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 10: I would go with brain fart because I'm just said,

734
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 10: I know the Seahawks won a Super Bowl. I was

735
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 10: writing for Grantline at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed watching

736
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 10: them kick Peyton Manning's ass, and if I had thought

737
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 10: about it for a split second, I would have remembered

738
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 10: they won. But I think I brainfirighted and mixed them

739
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 10: up with the Mariners. So I'm here forgiveness. So he

740
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 10: was doing so good until I threw that in there.

741
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: See.

742
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, though, So they sent this out Sunday

743
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: night on like a tweet or whatever, so I don't

744
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: think anybody realized it from his team, the Bill Simmons team,

745
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: because they.

746
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: Sent it out. They sent it out as if it

747
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: was fact.

748
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: And then Monday, after people busted their balls on Twitter,

749
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: he said, oh yeah, we messed up. So the guy

750
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: sitting next to him as co host had forgotten his

751
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: social media team. I'm assuming he's got a social media

752
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: team had forgotten. Everybody had forgotten.

753
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: But the cost was even listening. It was like what

754
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: he was saying, and then Bill just went into it,

755
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: and I think he was paying attention.

756
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 4: To something, maybe because he had to have known he was.

757
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: He wasn't the only one, Dick, because they sent the

758
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: damn thing.

759
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 7: Out yea social the whole social media team. Like, that's

760
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 7: probably going to be two three people who have checked

761
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 7: that cliff Sunday night. They put that thing out as

762
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 7: if it was fact.

763
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: But I guarantee you this, if the Hawks win this weekend,

764
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: I guarant freaking to you, somebody of significance somewhere will

765
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: say on Sunday night the Seahawk. No, they'll say, on

766
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: Sunday night, the Seahawks are playing in their third Super Bowl,

767
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: and they'll forget about two thousand and five. Guarantee you, yeah,

768
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: garan freaking tea. I mean, there's only twelve. Since twelve

769
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: thing that exists with the media too, I think yeah,

770
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: I think some Seahawks fans will think will totally. I've

771
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: already heard it, Dick from people. This would be what

772
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: our third, No, it's gonna be our fourth. Yeah, And

773
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: people have forgotten about the eighty four or eighty three

774
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: AFC Championship.

775
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: They're calling this the fourth conference. Now what's the fifth? Man?

776
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean that one.

777
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 4: I'm okay with kids, that was forty two years ago.

778
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: So like there's just a lot of people that didn't

779
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: exist back then now, but there's no internet not to

780
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 4: tell you two thousand and five it was twenty one years.

781
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: That's a cop out.

782
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: If you're a Seahawk fan, you better damn well know

783
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: this is the fifth Conference champion ship of all time.

784
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're born or not. There's a

785
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: lot of things that you and I weren't a part of.

786
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: That we can look up and know by reading and looking.

787
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm just starting to be nice. No, don't be nice.

788
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: It's too late. Don't be nice. All right? Hey, Dick,

789
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: did you happen to hear that? What's that?

790
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: Dick? All right?

791
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: Three? Four or five? Jackson? You picked? Speaking of not

792
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: nice number three? Ooh yeah.

793
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: Bill's owner Terry Pegula, held a press conference today alongside

794
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 2: his GM Brandon Bean.

795
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: Isn't he the GM of the A's By the way.

796
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 2: Who really being Among many topics, was Buffalo's second round

797
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: pick in twenty twenty four wide receiver key On Coleman

798
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 2: Florida State?

799
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yes? Who's still in the team? By

800
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: the way, keep that in mind.

801
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: As Bean was beginning to talk about Coleman, his owner

802
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: cut him off.

803
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I interrupted I'll address the Keon situation.

804
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 11: The coaching staff pushed.

805
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: To draft Kon.

806
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 11: I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he

807
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 11: wasn't his next choice. That was Brandon being a team

808
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 11: player and taking advice of his coaching staff who felt

809
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 11: strongly about the player.

810
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: And you know.

811
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 11: He's taken for some reason heat over it and not

812
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 11: saying a word about it. But I'm here to tell

813
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 11: you the true story.

814
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: So there's two things about this that struck me. Number One,

815
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 2: as Jackson said in the recap, here, Keon Coleman plays

816
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 2: for the team and the owner is coming out saying

817
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: that the guy didn't want him right, which is like

818
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: terrible for the dude. And then number two, there's now

819
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 2: multiple clips from different multiple situations, not the same situation,

820
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: but different situations where Brandon Bean is quoted saying he

821
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: wants Keon Coleman in the draft, including one where he

822
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: says we may have a better chance of getting him

823
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 2: now because he ran.

824
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: A four or five forty at the combine. So they

825
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: all look stupid. They all look stupid.

826
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess Brandon Bean could could be talking

827
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 4: about and I think later on in the cut. Pagoulas

828
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 4: said that, you know, he wasn't necessarily gonna draft him

829
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 4: with that spot.

830
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: M hm, but yeah, it looks really really bad.

831
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean said, yeah, maybe if you fall a little bit,

832
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 4: give us a better chance to chance to take him.

833
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: You imagine.

834
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 2: John Schneider doing a press conference with Jody Allen, and

835
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: Jody Allen interrupts John Schneider and says, yeah, you know what,

836
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 2: John never wanted Tory Horton, and he's in the locker

837
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: room as they're talking about him, like that's the.

838
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: That's the worst part of all right.

839
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,959
Speaker 2: Yes, And honestly, I was surprised that Brandon Bean didn't

840
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 2: get fired along with McDermott.

841
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: Me too. I had forgot promoted.

842
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: I had forgotten Dick that he was there the whole

843
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: time with Brandon Bean. He's the guy that built that defense.

844
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: He's the guy that never gave Josh Allen anybody to

845
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: throw to. How was he still there getting a promotion

846
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: and McDermott got whacked. Have we got time for one

847
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: more Jackson and we're gonna break Petros Papinakas gonna join

848
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: how fired up as La for this Rams game on

849
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: Sunday as fired up as we are here in Seattle,

850
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,680

00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 2: three k j R f M
