00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Go.

00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 2: But this is the absolute worst kind of rain, you

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: guys what I'm talking about right. I would rather have

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: it just spray like out of a freakin' fire hose

00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: at us than get this kind of rain that we

00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 3: But here we are, nevertheless on the air.

Speaker 2: We are laboring on a Friday afternoon for you, free

Speaker 2: the air five, and I'd be prepared for maybe a

14
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: full hour of mister mellon because I have warned him

15
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: that we are not just talking free agency. We will

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: also be discussing what happens to the air temperature at

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: T Mobile Park when the roof is open versus the

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: roof being closed.

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: Okay, question, Yes I did.

20
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: I told him yesterday that we're going to have that

21
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: conversation today on the radio program, and he will be

22
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: ready for it. And if he's not ready for it,

23
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: he will sound like he's ready for it. I guarantee

24
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: you that at five o'clock tonight, So we'll do all

25
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 2: that fun with audio coming up three forty five as well,

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: lots of news happening in the NFL. We'll get some

27
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: baseball chatter as well. I want to get some conversations

28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: about Julio Rodriguez. I just looked it up that Julio

29
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: Rodriguez is the fourth biggest favorite to win the MVP

30
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: in the American League. By the way, the Mariners have

31
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: two of the top four guys, Kyle Rowley and Julio.

32
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt and Aaron Judge are number two and number one,

33
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: followed by Cal followed by Julio. So I want to

34
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: just have a conversation later on the day at some

35
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: point about what we think Julio Rodriguez is, Like is

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: he a superstar?

37
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: Is he a star? Is he get above average player?

38
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: You know what?

39
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: Like what do what do fans perceive Julio Rodriguez to be?

40
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Because I got a funny feeling and maybe it's just

41
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: a feeling, maybe it's based on nothing, but you know,

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: just I don't know my own stupid brain that Julio

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: Rodriguez in year five is about to explode under the

44
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: major League baseball scene. And I mean, like explode like

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: become a absolute every day must see TV superstar fifty

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: to fifty type guy gold Glove in sin insane show

47
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: every single.

48
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: Night in night out.

49
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I got a feeling, boys, I got

50
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: a feeling this is going to be the year of

51
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: the Julio in Seattle. So we get to that coming up.

52
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: But the maybe bigger news today in the NFL, at

53
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: least as it pertains to us, And you mentioned it

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: there with what John Schneider did to the Raiders. And look,

55
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: you only got a third round draft pick for Gino Smith.

56
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: He did turn that draft pick into anybody, anybody. Jaylen

57
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: Milroe was the pick they got from the Raiders, so

58
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: haven't done much with the pick, but the money they

59
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: saved and all that. Obviously going out and getting Sam

60
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: Darnold is a much bigger factor.

61
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: But look here's the deal. First of all, it's two

62
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: thoughts on Gino.

63
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: Number one, he owes Pete Carroll a gigantic debt of gratitude.

64
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: Like gigantic debt of gratitude. I saw a factoid and

65
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: who knows if this is even true, but it fits

66
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: the narrative, so I'm gonna repeat it. Anyway, Okay that

67
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: through two thousand twenty two, Gino Smith had made seventeen

68
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: point five million dollars. He's made one hundred and seven

69
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 2: million dollars since then with his time with the Raiders

70
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: and the Seahawks. And that's all because of Pete Carroll,

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: by the way, right, Pete Carroll gave him a shot

72
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: to replace Russell Wilson. Pete Carroll brought him to the

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: Raiders where they ow I mean, they paid him fifty

74
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: eight million dollars. I mean if he makes money with

75
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: somebody else, that money will come off the books for

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: the Raiders. But this is a guy that you know,

77
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: had made very very good money, but not very very

78
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: good NFL money.

79
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Pete.

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Carroll changed his fortunes forever financially by giving him a shot.

81
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: This is a guy between twenty thirteen and twenty twenty two,

82
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: you know what, nine years in the NFL, Dick had

83
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: made thirty four starts and thrown thirty four touchdowns with

84
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: a passer rating seventy five point seven and a QBR

85
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: of wait for it, forty one. Okay, so then he

86
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: gets the job in twenty twenty two. Since then, he

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: made sixty four stars through for ninety touchdowns, a ninety

88
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: three passer rating in a QBR sixty three. I mean

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: he played okay, right, He wasn't a superstar. He wasn't

90
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: an above average I think quarterback in the NFL. But

91
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: he was, you know, a middle of the pack kind

92
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: of guy, right, especially now when you consider how much

93
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Drek is out there in the National Football League. But

94
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: I saw a tweet today we talked about this off

95
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 2: the year. I don't know where the hell this came from.

96
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: Wendy's put a tweet out and they quoted the story

97
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: that Geno Smith got released, and they said to Geno Smith, Hey,

98
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: if things don't work out in free agency, we are

99
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: looking for a chief tasting officer, to which I said

100
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: to Jackson's like, where's that coming from? That's kind of random,

101
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: Wendy's taking a shot at Geno Smith? Like did he

102
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: take a shot at them? Is there a backstory here

103
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: that I'm missing? And you said, nothing, right, nothing, no history.

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: I did wonder is their headquarters in Vegas is eventually

105
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 4: Wendy's headquarters in Dublin, Ohio.

106
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: Right, But even that is so that's kind of weird, right,

107
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: just a random thing, really random, but it just reminded

108
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: me of something. It just reminded me that there's been

109
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: a few people and a few folks who have kind

110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: of the narrative that they like to kind of crap

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: on the guy, right on, Gino Smith, And I was

112
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: ready to move on from him.

113
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: You were ready to move on for him. You were

114
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: ready to move on from him.

115
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: I remember being on the air when Gino was still

116
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: playing here in twenty twenty four, the latter part of

117
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: twy twenty four, and I asked you, guys on the air,

118
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: are we all ready to move on from Gino? And

119
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, yeah, we're kind of ready to

120
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: move on from Gino. But that's two conversations, right, how

121
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: you remember the guy and then the point in time

122
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: where you just said to yourself, Okay, it's time to

123
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: move on and do something else. Those are two totally

124
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: different angles and two totally different attitudes. But it just

125
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: kind of and maybe I'm missing the point here, guys,

126
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm making something up in my brain. Again, it

127
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: seems to me that there are a lot of people

128
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: that are celebrating Geno Smith's downfall.

129
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 3: Am I right about that? Or am I just making

130
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: that up? I think a little.

131
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 5: Bit, because we always want to be on the right

132
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: side of the deal, right, But that's.

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: Not what this is all about.

134
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: This isn't about you know, John Schneider made the right call,

135
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: so let's root for Geno Smith to fall apart.

136
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: I don't think it's any difference than what happened with

137
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson. We were rooting for Russell Wilson's downfall too.

138
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 4: A lot of that was related to gestics, like we

139
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: were rooting for right, related to our higher picks.

140
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: Just interrupted and tell you what I'm what I'm talking

141
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: about here, because maybe I didn't make myself clear, and

142
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: I probably didn't. I think it's almost like personal, like

143
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: people are happy that he's failing. Really yes, I'm sensing

144
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: that there is a certain segment of the Seahawk fan

145
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: base that is like mocking the guy, celebrating his demise,

146
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: all that stuff.

147
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: I mean.

148
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson to me is different, Dick, because Russell Wilson

149
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: turned into a giant egomaniac, tried to get Pete Carroll fired.

150
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: For God's sakes.

151
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 5: I know a lot of people that didn't like Geno's

152
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 5: antics on the sideline when.

153
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: I hate when we do this.

154
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 4: I hate when we say antics about a player who's

155
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 4: clearly just passionate.

156
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: Gino was a passionate player.

157
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: He was all in on this team, and like that

158
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: just came out in passionate ways.

159
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: I don't antics like Sam Donald, passionate or not. Yes,

160
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: he didn't throw. He doesn't throw iPads. Okay, you ever

161
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: see s time? You never see one time he threw

162
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: an iPad?

163
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: Okay, DK metcalf, I get it if we can say

164
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: antics because he had on field penalties. But Gino Smith

165
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: threw an iPad once after eight?

166
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Is that some people would say? Yes?

167
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: Sam Well, first of all, he's kind of a boring,

168
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: outwardly public kind of guy, Sam Donald, he doesn't show

169
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: a lot of anything, right, I mean, some folks would

170
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: like to see Sam Donald show maybe a little more emotion.

171
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to criticize Sam Donald right now for

172
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: anything because the guy just won you as a Super

173
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: Bowl for God's sakes, right. I Mean, you can we

174
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: can argue about you know, was he the number one?

175
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: I still think we all agree defense, right, But he

176
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: was the winning quarterback of a super Bowl team, So

177
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: it's hard right now to nitpick at Sam Darnald, but

178
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: kind of where you're going there, Dick a little bit,

179
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: and I don't want to put words in your mouth

180
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: at all. I want to give you a shot to

181
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: just represent your own feelings that I'll.

182
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: Just encapsulate the way I feel.

183
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: I think, Sam Darnold, or excuse me, Geno Smith was

184
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: a tremendous success for the Seahawks. Y. I mean, if

185
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: you would have told me after Russell Wilson took off

186
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: that Gino Smith was going to go nine and eight,

187
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: nine and eight and then ten and seven for the Seahawks,

188
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I ever would have bought that.

189
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: I thought there was a real good.

190
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: Shot that Gino Smith was going to be such a

191
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: liability turnover machine that the Seahawks would be awful with

192
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: Gino Smith the quarterback. I saw it four and thirteen coming,

193
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: and I was dead wrong about that. I don't know

194
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: if we could have expected any more from him after

195
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: he took over for Russell Wilson, because don't we have

196
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: to go back and remember the context of when he

197
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: got the job. Yes, right, they gave him the job.

198
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: They brought in Drew Lock. Remember Drew Lock got COVID,

199
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: and so there was no competition whatsoever. Remember how many

200
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: times Millen was complaining about it. This is not a

201
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: competition at all. Pete Carroll woke up in July of

202
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two and decided to just hand Gino Smith

203
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: the starting job. I was pissed about it. I think

204
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: you may have been pissed about it too. A lot

205
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: of people were annoyed.

206
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: And then he went out and went nine and eight

207
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: and ten and seven, which is not great by any

208
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: stretch of the imagination, but it exceeded my expectations immensely.

209
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: I think in twenty twenty two, Gino Smith exceeded all

210
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 5: of our expectations by a million times. But let's put

211
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 5: this all in perspective. Gino Smith, in his first twelve

212
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: games as a Seahawks starting quarterback, nine of those games

213
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 5: he had a passer rating over one hundred.

214
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: Nine of twelve.

215
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: In the rest of his Seahawks career, right, he only

216
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 5: had eleven. Right, he was a front loaded success story

217
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 5: in Seattle. And I think what happened was many many

218
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 5: people fell in love with Gino based upon those first

219
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: twelve games and just thought that his whole Seahawk career was.

220
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 3: That good, And we talked numerous times about it.

221
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: We just said, hey, twenty twenty three wasn't as good

222
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 5: as twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four, he wasn't as

223
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 5: good as twenty twenty three. He was a declining asset

224
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 5: for Seattle, and that's why you and I wanted him

225
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 5: gone in twenty twenty five.

226
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: But that's not anything to me that inspires negative emotions.

227
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: That's just hey, it is what it is, right, Like,

228
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: the guy gave it, gave us his all, and I

229
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: know that sounds kind of corny, right, but he gave

230
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: us everything he had. And you said he started fifty

231
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: games as I was twenty eight and twenty two, because

232
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: he was nine and eight, nine and eight, ten and seven.

233
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: He went twenty eight and twenty two, right, I'm sorry,

234
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: twenty eight and twenty three. This is the regular season now,

235
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 2: by the way. And you said his first twelve games,

236
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 2: yet nine of twelve over one hundred and in the

237
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: final what thirty live games? Okay, See, I still think

238
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: that exceeds expectations, though for me it does because I

239
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: thought he was going to be awful, thought he was

240
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: going to be absolute dog meat in Seattle. So all

241
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: those numbers that you're talking about their dick, they reflect

242
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: a quarterback that we actually thought was going to be

243
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL.

244
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: But he wasn't and he was a disappointment.

245
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: But if you're talking about Geno Smith doing that, I

246
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: still think those numbers that you gave us nine of

247
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: twelve and then eleven the rest of the way, that still,

248
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: to me exceeds the expectations that I had for Genos.

249
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 5: So it doesn't our expectations change because going into twenty

250
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 5: twenty two, yes, he massively outperformed our expectations.

251
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: But at the end of twenty twenty two.

252
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: Right, if you would have told me, okay, he's only

253
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 5: going to have eleven passer rating games of one hundred

254
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 5: in the next two seasons with the Seahawks, I think

255
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 5: we have been disappointed in that because our expectations changed

256
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 5: based upon how he played in twenty twenty two.

257
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think again, he was still Geno Smith,

258
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: and he was still a career backup, and he was

259
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: still a guy that exceeded expectations in twenty twenty two.

260
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: I'll just say this, I have my memories of Geno

261
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: Smith being here, and you know, my kind of you know,

262
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: the the emotions, whatever, my perception of Gino when he

263
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: was in Seattle. For me, I can't speak for anybody else,

264
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: but for me are positive. They're positive.

265
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

266
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: I mean, if I had a one word to describe it,

267
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 5: I would say fine. Yeah, but he was fine.

268
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: But to me, fine is better than fine, is better.

269
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: Fine for him is better than fine for somebody else.

270
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: When you're talking about a guy who, again I thought

271
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 2: was going to be horrific and was a career backup

272
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 2: for how many years nine years in the NFL, was

273
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: looked at as a total bust by a lot of people.

274
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: That he was a second.

275
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: Rounder, not a first round by the way, so it's

276
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: hard to call the guy a bust. I was pleasantly

277
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: surprised at what Gino Smith did in Seattle, and I

278
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: have fond memories of what he did here, and I'm

279
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: just a little bit surprised. I guess Jackson and Dick

280
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of people out there that are

281
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: almost like crapping on the guy, like celebrating his downfall.

282
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 4: It's like almost like Gino Smith is listening to this

283
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: radio show, right now high.

284
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 3: Geno.

285
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 4: He literally just tweeted out this moment as he were

286
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: saying that right quote out here selling poison, trying to

287
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,479
Speaker 4: get jokes off on Twitter, society and shambles.

288
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: He is very aware people are clowning up, right he is.

289
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: And you know what I mean, no matter what happens,

290
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: We're always gonna have this.

291
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: We are.

292
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: And you remember what that was, by the way, when

293
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: he game won, he beat the Denver Broncos and he

294
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: beat Russell Wilson.

295
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: The guy was a freaking hero that he's got. First drive.

296
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 5: Hey, he may have legs to stand on when he's

297
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 5: talking about Seattle fans ripping on him, he's got no

298
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 5: legs to stand on when he's talking about Raider fans rip.

299
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: Their team paid forty million dollars.

300
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 5: For that last year. If I was a Raider fan,

301
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 5: Gino Smith would be public enemy number one.

302
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: Man.

303
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: I blame the Raiders for paying him more than I

304
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 2: would Gino. I'd make them public enemy number one more

305
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: than I would Gino. I mean, honestly, like, do you

306
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: blame Sean Figgins for sucking or Jason Renzick for giving

307
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: the guy a contract?

308
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

309
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: Right, yes, but that's the point is that, you know,

310
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: when they gave Geno Smith that contract you mentioned it,

311
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: he was already in decline. Like, I don't know if

312
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: Gino Smith would have even remotely expected that anybody would

313
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: have given him that kind of a deal. But he

314
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: got lucky because Pete Carroll took the raider job. And

315
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll loves the guy. Pete Carroll loves Gino Smith

316
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: like he loves his freaking son. For gout your own,

317
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, everything he does, he absolutely does. But I'm

318
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: just a little bit surprised at the tone, that's all.

319
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: And look, you guys do whatever you want, right. I

320
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: can't speak for you my perspective on Gino I was

321
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: ready to move on from him. Thank him for what

322
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: he did, give him a big pat on the ass.

323
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: You know, hey, thank you for taking over for Russell.

324
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: You were better than I thought you were going to be.

325
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: But it's now time to find something better. And they

326
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: did find something better in Sam Darnold, you know. I mean,

327
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: obviously they complimented Sam with the fenamental defense, there's no

328
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: question about that. But I've got good thoughts and good

329
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: memories of what Gino Smith did in Seattle and I

330
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: don't want to be totally corny and say I'll forever

331
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: be thankful for what he did here, because he did

332
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: not do a ton in the grand scheme of things,

333
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: but just keeping the Seahawks afloat at quarterback after what

334
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: happened with Russell. A lot of franchises would have turned

335
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: into a total disaster at quarterback after what they went

336
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: through with the Russell Wilson saga, and that didn't happen

337
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: here in Seattle. So again, I'm just surprised that some

338
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: people's tone towards the guy.

339
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: I never had a beef with them personally.

340
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: I think, again, like I said, Dick, heos Pete Carroll

341
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: a gigantic debt of gratitude for what he did for

342
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: him and his family financially. But I wonder if Seahawk

343
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: fans out there have more of kind of a negative,

344
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: you know, memory of Geno Smith, or maybe more of

345
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: positive thoughts when you think about what Gino Smith did

346
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: here in Seattle. So thoughts on that The text line

360
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: those that were concerned about what happened yesterday, five to

361
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: one win over Tech, says Kate Anderson, three innings, a hit,

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: zero earn, couple of strikeouts, Cole Young, couple of bombs

363
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: today as the Evans bounce back from that drubbing they

364
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: took at the hands of the Padres yesterday five to one.

365
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: But here's the question I got for you, what do

366
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: we have on our hands? And Julio Rodriguez, because we

367
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: had Bill Kruger on the radio show yesterday and we

368
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: talked about how, hey, it's year five, it's time for

369
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: him now to kind of find a way to start

370
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: getting off to some better starts. Like we mentioned the

371
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: ops a's dick in the first month of the year

372
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: six't eighty one, six oh six, seven forty three, five

373
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: forty four. That's what Julio Rodriguez has done ops wise

374
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: in the month of April and March in his first

375
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: four years in baseball. So his number's overall been pretty good,

376
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: right once the year comes to an end.

377
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: So if he could just find.

378
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: A way to get a little bit of a warmer

379
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: not even hotter, but a little bit of a warmer start,

380
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: the guy's numbers would look a lot different at the

381
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: end of the year. And I don't know if it's

382
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: just wishful thinking. Maybe it's the fact that it's year five.

383
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: Maybe I just got or ner feva. I don't know,

384
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: but I got a feeling that Julio Rodriguez is gonna

385
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: finally figure it out, not that he hasn't figured it

386
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: out already. I think if Julio Rodriguez goes the rest

387
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: of his career and ends up being the player he's

388
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 2: been so far, he's you know, top five in the

389
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: American League MVP odds every single season for the rest

390
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: of his life. If that's what he turns into then fine, right,

391
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: that's a successful year. It might not match the hysteria

392
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: that came along with his contract he got when he

393
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: was a rookie, but I think that would be a

394
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: successful career very much So, no doubt for Julio. But

395
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this, and I'll tell you exactly

396
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 2: where I was. This is where I do my best work.

397
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: I was on the toilet.

398
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 3: Today, nice, just pondering life. And I was just sitting there.

399
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, spent a little few extra minutes, and you know,

400
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: the ass cheeks start to fall asleep. You guys know

401
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. When you've been sitting there for

402
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes too long time. I'd be there

403
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: for an hour.

404
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 5: Read it for a good twenty Yeah, I have a

405
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 5: job to do and I get done and your butt

406
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: falls asleep.

407
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going numb, can't fill your ass. Not sure

408
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: what's going on? You guys get the points. Yeah, but

409
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 2: it just kind of dawned on me. What do we have, Like,

410
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 2: do we have a superstar on our hands?

411
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 3: Do we have a star?

412
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: Do we have a above average player? Do we have

413
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: an elite player? Do we have a household name? How

414
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: would you characterize what Julio Rodriguez.

415
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: Is, Well, first of all, you have to define how

416
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 5: many superstars in your mind are there, because some would

417
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 5: say there's like five, Others would say, oh, there's twenty

418
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 5: five superstars a major league base Yeah.

419
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. So if you're some would say there's two and

420
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: they're Aaron Judge and show. Hell yeah. I mean, if

421
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: if that's the case, then obviously it's not.

422
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 5: I mean, so if you're a little more liberal in

423
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 5: how you define a superstar, then I would consider Julio in.

424
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: The bottom end of that range.

425
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: But if you're more specific, like, no, you got to

426
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 5: be you got to be a you know, a.

427
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 3: Perennial All Star. You've got to be a guy that

428
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: it starts.

429
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: In the All Star Game almost every single year to

430
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 5: be a superstar, then he's not an I think it's

431
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 5: tough for a guy to be a superstar when his

432
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 5: home ops for his career is seven forty seven, Like,

433
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 5: that's half your.

434
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: Games you play.

435
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 5: You can't be a superstar when half your games you

436
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 5: play in a park that you only are an average hitter,

437
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 5: and seven forty seven is almost the dictionary definitely maybe

438
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 5: slightly above average. So he's a slightly above average hitter

439
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 5: for half of his games, right, an elite hitter for

440
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 5: half of his games. You can't really be a superstar

441
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: when you're like that.

442
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: Well, Aaron Judge plays at a much more hitter friendly park.

443
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 2: The thing about Aaron Judge is he's he's a monster

444
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: no matter where he goes. He's got a ten to

445
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: sixty ops a Yankee Stadium and he's nine to ninety

446
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 2: seven the rest of the way. So he's kind of

447
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: a oh Tani the same thing, right, Like there's there's

448
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: gonna be unicorns out.

449
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 5: There, man, Yeah, they're all time great. So they were

450
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 5: not even above superstar.

451
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: The point that I'm hearing from you is that Julio

452
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: might be a bigger name at a bigger star if

453
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: he played somewhere else.

454
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: Oh of course. Oh if he played in.

455
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: A different stadium, with a different park and different weather pattern's.

456
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: Red Sox different, imagine how big he would.

457
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: Well, he's got an eight forty nine oh ps away

458
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: from Team Mobile, which is very good. But it's not

459
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: what we just talked about, right, It's not stupid elite

460
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: first ballot Hall of Fame lock blah blah blah. But

461
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: it's also not seven forty seven, which is what he

462
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: is when he's at Team Mobile Park. And that's part

463
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: of it, right, Like, if he can ever figure out

464
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: a way to consistently be a monster at Team Mobile,

465
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: then this guy is going to be a juggernaut.

466
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: And I think he's getting there already.

467
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: I do think again that the hysteria and the hype

468
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: that surrounded him Jackson when he signed his contract has

469
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: yet to be met.

470
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: But I also think he is.

471
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: A very very good player who has a lot more

472
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: to offer, in a lot more room to grow.

473
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been keying on the offensive numbers here. I

474
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 4: think when you talk about the word star and superstar

475
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 4: and that kind of stuff, you got a factor in everything,

476
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 4: and the everything of being includes he's the best defensive

477
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 4: center fielder in the league, right, and then you got

478
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: a factor in everything off the field and the charisma

479
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: and just how he carries himself that has an actual

480
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 4: tangible value, I think in this conversation, which is why

481
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 4: I would put him in the star category because I

482
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 4: think you add in all these things and it's why

483
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: his war is what it is, because he's such a

484
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 4: damn good defensive player.

485
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: It's why I would say.

486
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: You go to random Joe on every single city for

487
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball and you say name one Mariner. I

488
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 4: think they're more likely to say Julio than they are

489
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: col right now, honestly.

490
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe, I mean, I mean, right now, they might

491
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: say cow just because it's so close to what happened.

492
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: But in general, yes, you know, maybe you know, a

493
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: year ago or six months from now, he might be right.

494
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy has all the fixings right to

495
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: be a star. I mean number one, I don't mind

496
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: saying this at all. He is a beautiful looking man.

497
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 2: He is a good looking dude, right. I mean, he's

498
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: got those blue eyes young kids.

499
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: But that's part of the students, that's part of the fixings.

500
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: He's got a he's a great like. He is not

501
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: an ugly person at all. He is a really good

502
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 2: looking guy. Like I'd love to be walking around looking

503
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 2: like Julia Rodriguez, right, I mean, my godness, he is

504
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: a beautiful, gorgeous man, and I have no problem saying that.

505
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: He's got a great personality, great smile, always having fun, right,

506
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: seems to get the best out of life, right, never

507
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 2: seems to bitch your moan about anything.

508
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: Great teammate. One of my favorite memories.

509
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: You guys may remember this when Gino Suarez hit the

510
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: Grand Slam in Game five a year ago.

511
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 3: Go back and watch the tape. What am I talking about?

512
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 4: He went down into the locker room to grab something

513
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 4: and he was like.

514
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 2: A kid in a can for a teammate like that

515
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: could have been his moments.

516
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: Instead it was Gino Suarez with a grand Slam, and.

517
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 7: He's like, oh my god, he lost his mind like

518
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 7: he was five years old and ran into the dugouts

519
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 7: to grab the trident and come back out and slam

520
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 7: that thing right.

521
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: Into the ground. I don't know if people remember that

522
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: or saw that.

523
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: You do, Jackson obviously, but I thought to myself when

524
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: I saw that replay later, that is so effing cool. Yeah,

525
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: that he was that excited about Gino Suarez getting that

526
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: Grand Slam that he was like a kid on Christmas morning.

527
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: So he's got everything you need.

528
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: Honestly, he's like a dream right for a franchise and

529
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 2: an owner. If he can just find a way to

530
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: have one of those months or one of those weeks

531
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: like when Griffy went after Dale Long and Don Maddingly

532
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: with the eight consecutive home runs and the entire country.

533
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: Was watching back in the day.

534
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: If he could have a run like that a month,

535
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: two months where man, he's the best player in baseball,

536
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: favorite to win the MVP, Must see TV. I think

537
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: this guy's got a chance to be an absolute super star.

538
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

539
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: Jackson is a star right now, but he's not yet

540
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: a superstar.

541
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: He owned the All Star home run derby in the

542
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 3: All Star Game that weekend.

543
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 5: He was the biggest star in baseball for that weekend

544
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 5: both both times, LA and Yes, and.

545
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: So people know who he is.

546
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 5: But you know what, he's gonna go down as if

547
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: he just continues to do what he's doing, which is

548
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: eight hundred ohps, thirty home runs, one hundred rbies, if

549
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 5: he just does no better than that for his rest

550
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 5: of his career, I still think he's gonna go down

551
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 5: in history, maybe only third to Griffy and Edgar as

552
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: most beloved mariners of all time.

553
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: Now he's and again he's gonna have a shot to

554
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: do Let's face it, if everything goes the way we

555
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: can wis go, well, he's got he's got a shot

556
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: to do it in October, right because he's He's kind

557
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: of like the Felix of pitchers. I'm not talking about

558
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: that he's a hard luck guy or anything. I'm talking

559
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 2: about how the fan base feels about him. Like Felix

560
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: has beloved for a lot of reasons, right when he

561
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: signed the contract and he was crying about winning a

562
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: World Series and busted his ass and everybody loved the

563
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: person the personality, but he never got the shot to

564
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: play in October. Julio's already had it a couple times

565
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: right in October rookie year and then last year.

566
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: Correct, he's going to have it again.

567
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: He's going to have those moments to shine that guys

568
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 2: like Felix Hernandez did not have. And I know this

569
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 2: is an obvious statement because the guy plays for the Mariners,

570
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: But I don't know if there's a Mariner player that

571
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm rooting harder for right now than him, because I

572
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: think he's got a shot to do things that not

573
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 2: even cal Raley can do. Because let's face it, we

574
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: all love cal Rawley to death. He doesn't have the

575
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: charisma that Julio Rodriguez has. No, he just doesn't, and

576
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: it's hard to do when you play catcher versus center field.

577
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 3: Right.

578
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: I get that this guy has everything you need to

579
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: get everybody in this town to stop what they're doing

580
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: and watch him play every single night. He's got electricity

581
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: that other players don't have, and I just think it'd

582
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: be so damn fun if he could find a way

583
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: to harness that and just blow up this year.

584
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: How does he in be an mvpy Does he get

585
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 3: out of his home field in April? Mayslamp?

586
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: Got to work at it, man, done, got to figure

587
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: it out. You're not going anywhere. You just signed a

588
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: gazillion year deal. This is your home. Find a way.

599
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: The Sacramento Kings have the worst record in the NBA

600
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: and lost their fiftieth game of the year last night.

601
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook stepped to the podium after the game and

602
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 2: things went south very quickly with multiple media members that

603
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: cover the Sacramento Kings basketball team.

604
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 8: You know, nineteen games left now, like just kind of

605
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 8: what's the focus like as you guys close this out?

606
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 8: You hit fifty losses tonight and you know you're kind

607
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 8: of doing some things, developing young guys and stuff, like

608
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 8: what what do you what can be accomplished like in

609
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 8: these last nineteen.

610
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 9: Games, you know, go out compete, just a game, you professional,

611
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 9: go out and play, which I think though, because y'all

612
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 9: got a lot of answers and you'll.

613
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 3: Always be talking.

614
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 9: Oh, it's very interesting nobody.

615
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

616
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 9: You guys have a lot of opinions about how we do,

617
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 9: what we're doing. What you got, no you Yeah, you

618
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 9: make a lot of statements and broad statements that you

619
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 9: have no contexts. So what do you get your contacts from?

620
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 9: Are you in practice? Are you at our film session?

621
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 6: I'm not on your film session. But you guys have

622
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 6: the worst record in the NBA. Cool guys are like

623
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 6: been bottom three and offense defense throughout the year perfect.

624
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 6: So I mean I think that's fair to what's fair.

625
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,280

Speaker 9: I can only speak for myself, but yeah, but that's

631
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 9: the only thing you say. I've seen things you say.

632
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 9: It's not just about our offense and our defense and

633
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 9: what our record is. What if I said I don't

00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:49,680

00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: The worst season ive.

650
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. All right, Uh, kudos to Michael Martinez.

651
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: You know who that is, by the way, was asking

652
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: the question now he is the director of PR for

653
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Kings for allowing that to continue.

654
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: Okay, surprised he did.

655
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: That's right, because a lot of PR people would step

656
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: in and say that's it, thank you for done, just

657
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: like Sherry White back in the day aka Sherry Hanson.

658
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: But here's the thing about Russell Westbrook, man, I'm sure

659
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: that the year the Kings are having is getting to

660
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: this guy. They're fourteen and fifty. They're absolutely terrible. And

661
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: I asked you off the ear, is he a Hall

662
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: of Famer? And you said yes, won the MVP back

663
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: in the day, And I agree, he is a Hall

664
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: of Famer. Has there ever been a Hall of Famer

665
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: that's played for more teams than Russell Westbrook?

666
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it's incredible for how good this guy is.

667
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 3: He's a really good player.

668
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: Like we talk about how many teams Durant and Harden

669
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: have played for, and they all came to the league

670
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: around the same time, right Westbrook, Hard and Durant. Katie's

671
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: played for five, Harden's played for six. This guy's played

672
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: for seven teams Dick seven in eighteen years. Every two

673
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: and a half years, he's moving around and he's an MVP.

674
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame talent, and nobody wants to keep him around.

675
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: You just named three of my least favorite NBA players

676
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 5: of the last twenty years, and guess.

677
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: What, gms agree with me because they don't want them

678
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: long they keep trading him.

679
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's the point though, that you know, Kevin Durant,

680
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 2: James Harden move around a lot, not as much as

681
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: Westbrook does. It's incredible how many teams this guy's played for.

682
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

683
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: I don't know who that reporter was, by the way,

684
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: that was going after Westbrook, but kudos to Michael Martinez,

685
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: the PR guy, for letting that.

686
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: Can we agree that Westbrook had no idea what he

687
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 5: actually said, He didn't want to say.

688
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: Don't have any idea what Westbrook even did say. That

689
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: was a ward salad from both those guys, right, kind

690
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,840
