1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Where go.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 2: You may have seen what I did over the weekend.

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 3: I took my wife to Valentine's Day dinner on Saturday

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 3: night and came home and watched the first half of

5
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 3: the game all over again. And then she's like, what

6
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 3: do you want to do Sunday? Well, how about we

7
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 3: watched the second half?

8
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: Okay? Fine?

9
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 3: And I was talking to Greg about don't know if

10
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 3: you saw the tweet that I sent out Jackson. I

11
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 3: kind of mentioned you a little bit on social media.

12
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if you caught it or not. Dick,

13
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 3: I made a tweet over the weekend. I think I

14
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 3: think I agree with Jackson. I think a member of

15
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: the defense should have won the MVP. But I don't

16
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: think it was Witherson.

17
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: It's fine.

18
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 4: I think it was Derek Hall. I don't think it

19
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 4: needs to be My whole thing was it just need

20
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 4: to be somebody from the d What I would.

21
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 3: Have done, and if I could do it, go back

22
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 3: and do it retroactively, I would change it and I

23
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 3: would award co MVPs to Derek Hall and Devin Withers

24
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: that if I could do it one for one guy,

25
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: I think I would give it to Derek Call over

26
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: any of them.

27
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: He had two sacks, he forced to fumble.

28
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: I went back and looked at the what's the win

29
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: probability dally Bob thing we were talking about off the air.

30
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: So the Seahawks, when Derek Call forced the fumble that

31
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: was recovered by Byron Murphy, right, had a twelve nothing lead,

32
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: and according to ESPN's win probability, Dally Bob had a

33
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: ninety percent chance to win the game. That's how much

34
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: faith they had on their defense shutting down the Patriots

35
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: arrest away ninety percent chance when AJ Barner scored. So

36
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: the fumble that Derek Call forced that Byron Murphy recovered

37
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: like four plays later, was the AJ Barner touchdown made

38
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 3: it nineteen to nothing. So it feels like it from

39
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: from twelve nothing to nineteen nothing. That's a big jump, right,

40
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: So that's a three score game.

41
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 5: Right, there's the jump that I thought won the game,

42
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 5: the Banner touchdowns when.

43
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: I said it was over.

44
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: But that's the ninety percent to ninety nine percent jump

45
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: over when Chenna had the pick six. It went from

46
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: ninety nine to ninety nine point nine. The game was

47
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: already over when Chenna had to pick six, but his

48
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: fumble that he forced that Bier Murphy recovered. I can

49
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: tell you that's the second argument play of the game

50
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: for Derek call. I want to think, I think Jackson

51
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: My point is is that Derek calls force fumble that

52
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 3: Biron Murphy recovered that four plays later turned into a

53
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: j Barner's touchdown. I think was more impactful than the

54
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: Witherspoon force pick six.

55
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: That's interesting, and I would love to see what the

56
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: percentage changed for the Julian Love interception.

57
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm talking about that. That was the moment for

58
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: me where it was over, but it was already ninety nine.

59
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: And that's what I'm saying.

60
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 4: If that jumped from like ninety five to that's that's

61
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 4: that would be ver.

62
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: Julian Love's pick was at nineteen to seven, right, it

63
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: was nineteen seven because Drake May had that run. Then

64
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: two plays later June left. So again, the AJ Barner

65
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: touchdown took it from ninety to ninety nine. Everything else

66
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: took it from like ninety nine to ninety nine point

67
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: eight ninety nine point nine. The Derek call force fumble,

68
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, the guy should have won the MVP.

69
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: I'm not losing sleep over it. I love Kenny Walker.

70
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: Give it to Kenny Walker. I don't give a damn whatever.

71
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: That's fine, And I thought initially Kenny Walker should have won.

72
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: But when I went home and I watched the game

73
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: again this weekend, I'm like, God darn it, Jackson's right.

74
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: This was all about the defense. This was all about

75
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: the freaking defense man. Because they tell you what else

76
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: stood out to me, And you guys may not like

77
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: hearing this, and we'll talk to you about it at

78
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: four o'clock.

79
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: I think Sam Darnold played very well, guys, in the game.

80
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: He missed a lot of throws, tons of throws, and

81
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 3: I didn't even realize it until I went back and

82
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: watched it again.

83
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: I thought he was much worse watching it on TV

84
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 5: and then at the stadium, and the percentages for Jackson

85
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: ninety two point nine prior to the pick ninety eight

86
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 5: point two. After the picks, it was a five percentage,

87
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 5: but Halls was bigger. I turned to my brother when

88
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: Derek Hall sacked him and forced the fumble, I said,

89
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: there's your MVP right there. So I'm totally with you

90
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: guys now. The only difference is Derek Hall his resume

91
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 5: had been submitted at that point, whereas ken Walker did.

92
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: Maybe ken Walker was behind Derek Hall at that point

93
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 5: to win the MVP. Yes, but ken Walker passed Derek

94
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: Hale because he had a very good fourth quarter and

95
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 5: Derek Hall didn't do anything in the fourth well.

96
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: Because he did it all in the first three quarters

97
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: when their defense.

98
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Shut him out. How many Super Bowls? I thought?

99
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: I saw this on the broadcast and I may have

100
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 3: taken a screenshot of it. I have no idea where

101
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: it is because I have twenty one thousand pictures on

102
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: my cell phone. That it was like the sixth time

103
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: in Super Bowl history that a team was shut out

104
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: after three quarters and the Seahawk defense did that. Man,

105
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: So Jackson, I agree with you. I mean again, I'm

106
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: not This isn't a big deal to me either way.

107
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: But if I was to go back and nitpick, I

108
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: would say an MVP performer should have come from the

109
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball, because that's the side of

110
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: the ball that really was the dominant side, right, They

111
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: were the absolute dominant side in that game. And I'm

112
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: thinking about, like they're running ads for the Combine, which

113
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: is next week. By the way, can you guys believe

114
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: that Combine is next week in Indianapolis because I told

115
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Greg Bell during cross talk, I'm watching the game and

116
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: I think you told me this that you know, Fubo's

117
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: having that carriage dispute with NBC, So I wasn't able

118
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: to cord the actual NBC broadcast of the game, and

119
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: I'm kind of freaking out, like, where am I going

120
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: to go to watch the game? YouTube doesn't have it,

121
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. I'm sure at some point the NFL

122
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: network will replay at YadA, YadA, YadA. So Fubo for

123
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: me taped the NFL network replay. That's what they recorded, right.

124
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: So I got home and I found it in my

125
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: cloud or whatever it is, my stuff on Fubo and

126
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: I'm watching the game over again. It's not in four K,

127
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: which irritates the hell out of me. I'm now a

128
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: four K snob. Drives me nuts. Why more sporting events

129
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: are not in four K is beyond me. It's ludicrous.

130
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 3: It looks terrible. Standard definition looks like somebody literally wiped

131
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: vaseline all over the camera. It's awful, Okay, and the

132
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: bigger the TV you have, the worst. It looks eighth SD.

133
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: It's at least HD that you're watching, but it's ten

134
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: eighty instead of fourth.

135
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: Dude, it looked like it was standard definition. It looked

136
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: like it was coming off of VCR. It was horrible,

137
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: horrible quality on the replay. So I'm watching that number one,

138
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: the number two. I'm saying to my wife, God, the

139
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: commercial suck man, terrible.

140
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: These commercials are awful. No Jackson.

141
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 3: It was even worse. They weren't the same commercials that

142
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: ran during the game. They were all PSA's what the

143
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: NFL network replay always runs PSAs because they don't have

144
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: the rights to run the same commercials and they're not

145
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: going to give NBC's clients free advertising, so.

146
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: They're running PSAs.

147
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: Like I'm watching the game thinking, did NBC not sell

148
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: their commercial inventory?

149
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: Say, you guys didn't miss much being at the game,

150
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: and because the commercials this year were there were a

151
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 4: couple okay ones, but really bad year for commercials.

152
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean nothing really stood out, you

153
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: know to me. They have like a twenty minute thing

154
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: you can do on YouTube where you can watch all

155
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: the commercials at one time, and I kind of watched

156
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: it about halfway through I got bored and turned it off,

157
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: Yet this same I'm done.

158
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 5: Another thing I realized was that the Katie Perry halftime

159
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 5: and the last Super Bowl we went to was way

160
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 5: better for the audience in the building than this one.

161
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: Was like this stuff going on behind the trees.

162
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 5: This one I thought was completely for the people at

163
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 5: home watching on TV.

164
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it looked for me.

165
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 5: It just looked like somebody was setting up a jungle

166
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: for twenty minutes and then tearing the jungle down. I mean,

167
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: that's all it looked like. But the Katy Perry one

168
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: was like, Oh, this is pretty cool. She's riding a

169
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: freaking tiger into the watching the arena, She's lying off

170
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: into space.

171
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: It's awesome.

172
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: They should really be doing it for the people homek

173
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: You're right, there's way more people watching at home than

174
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: there is in the stadium.

175
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 5: Can you do both focus?

176
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: I just don't.

177
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: I don't really, I don't care about halftime shows at all.

178
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: I am the worst halftime show guy in the face

179
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: of the earth.

180
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: What do you think of I don't care.

181
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 5: You'd care more if you were there watching like your

182
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 5: giants against the Dolphins, though, because then you wouldn't care

183
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: about the outcome of the game.

184
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: Maybe.

185
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I was at the Packers Patriots game and

186
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: don't even remember who was doing halftime. I swear to God,

187
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: look it up. Who did the Packers Patriots halftime show?

188
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: Was in New Orleans. I have no idea who did it.

189
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: And I was there and.

190
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: I couldn't have given it a crap. I got it

191
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: and went to the bathroom. I stood on line for

192
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: twenty minutes to go peace. Not even if it's like

193
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: a legendary dude.

194
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: In Detroit was the Blues Brothers. I just yeah, and

195
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: zz Top and James Brown.

196
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: I was in Detroit for pat for Steelers Seahawks, and

197
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: the Rolling Stones are on stage, and I just don't care.

198
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: I'm not a big halftime guy. It's not something that

199
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: interests me at all. So I just want to get

200
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: to the second half. But I'm I'm just sitting here

201
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: watching this replay over again, and it's so loud on

202
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: TV when the Patriots have the ball, you could really

203
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: notice that. I think he noticed it more on TV

204
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: than he did in the stands, you know, even how

205
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: the twelves just showed up and all that, And then

206
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: there's people that were kind of critical of Jody Allen

207
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: for not mentioning Paul, and I agree with that. I

208
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: kind of wish she would have in the postgame speech.

209
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: I wish she would have said something about her brother,

210
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: and that never happened. And and then I'm kind of

211
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: talking to Gina about Mike McDonald and his post game

212
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: and how he looks uncomfortable and he's not really a

213
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: great public speaker, and it's kind of it's kind of endearing.

214
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold the same way with his postgame interviews. He's

215
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: not really the most endearing guy, most engaging guy when

216
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: it comes to interviews and all. That's kind of endearing

217
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: because it kind of just shows you this team has

218
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: that aw shucks attitude.

219
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: No, by the way, we have the Oschunk's attitude.

220
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: But we're gonna go out and we're gonna drop an

221
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: anvil on your head on defense.

222
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: Did you guys see Mike McDonald go on Jimmy Kimmel

223
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: the day after the services?

224
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: He was way more open, right, No, I thought he was.

225
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: I thought he was way more.

226
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: Open than he usually so uncomfortable, he could not wait

227
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: and even joked about like, I can't believe that they

228
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: made me do this like he was. That's not his game,

229
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: and like I would just say, if we win Super

230
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 4: Bowl sixty one, can we have get get Flurry, get

231
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 4: the new guy to go do it. Mike McDonald should

232
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 4: not be going on the late night talk.

233
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: That's part of part of the game.

234
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: This team is, man, it's part of their DNA, right

235
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: that you're just not gonna have a head coach that's

236
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: gonna sell himself. He's kind of gonna be a I mean,

237
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: we did not turn like he that was everything he

238
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: had in his gut to get that out of his mouth.

239
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it was unbelievable that he actually regurgitated those words.

240
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: And I it was funny you said that, Jackson, because

241
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: I actually thought the Kimmel's show, I thought he was

242
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: a little more kind of personable with Jimmy Kimmel. Maybe

243
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: it's because he did admit that he was a little

244
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: bit nervous, and maybe that was part of it.

245
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Man, just watching this whole thing

246
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: all over again, I'm kind of with you.

247
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm still buzzing about it, right, you know, chucking bucker

248
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: down there in Arizona. Then and then I go on

249
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: Twitter this weekend. There's two things I want to address here,

250
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: by the way. Two things that I just like, are

251
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: people's brains just fried?

252
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 2: After the Seahawks.

253
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: Won the Lombardi eight days ago, Like what has happened

254
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: to people? I go on Twitter and I see my

255
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: buddy Brian Nemhouser, Hawk blogger who I love, actually suggesting

256
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: that the Seahawks should open the year in Australia as

257
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl champion, because now there's this controversy about

258
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: Wednesday Thursday. Rams are playing the Niners, We're playing whoever,

259
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: and we may have to play on Wednesday, and we

260
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: may not be the first game of the year if

261
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: we playing on Thursday, because they may go Wednesday whatever,

262
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: which okay, whatever. And so he goes online and said, well,

263
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: there's one way to handle this. Sea Yawk should open

264
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: the year in Australia. I'm like, what come on, man.

265
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

266
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: No, you win the Lombardi, you get the opener at home,

267
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: you raise the banner, the whole place goes nuts.

268
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: Not only that's how it works, God take it. Like

269
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: what's happened? And I love Brian. He's got a new book.

270
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: It's great. Bought one ye, what happened?

271
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 5: Not only that, if you could ask me a month ago,

272
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 5: you get to pick two teams and ship them off

273
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 5: to Australia to play a football fans, I will.

274
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: Go Rams and Niners.

275
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 5: Thank you, add an extra thirty thousand miles to your

276
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 5: trip every season or this season.

277
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: And then let's see who they play in week two?

278
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: By the way, Rams Chicago week two and in the

279
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: Windy City after coming back from Sydney.

280
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: But so I saw that, I'm like, Okay, what was

281
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: going on?

282
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: Is there something in the water now or people just

283
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: on like are their brains melting? After we beat the

284
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 3: freaking Patriots a week ago and nobody's thinking properly? And

285
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 3: then they flip on this radio station and I told

286
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: him I was going to do this, by the way,

287
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: and I hear Greg Bell the first thing out of

288
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: his mouth, I swear to God, the first thing I

289
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: heard him say, are we sure we want the NBA

290
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: back in town?

291
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: Like?

292
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: What what the hell's going on here?

293
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: I got my Midday guy talking about, you know, asking

294
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: fans if they really want the NBA back, And then

295
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: I got Brian Nemhauser going on Twitter saying the Hawks

296
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: should open up in Australia against the Rams and week

297
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 3: what I mean, Look, I get it, man, there's a

298
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: lot of people down in the NBA. I didn't watch

299
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: any of the All Star Game. I didn't watch any

300
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: of the slam dunk contests whatsoever. What I saw on

301
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: social media from the slam dunk contest look terrible, like boring,

302
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: almost like the slam dunk contest may have run its course.

303
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 5: By the way, Dick, Well, they for fifteen years, and

304
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: what happens is you get a slat. You get one

305
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 5: out of every five years, you get an out of

306
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 5: the blue, unbelievable slam dunk, right, and then the other

307
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 5: four out of five years are not breaking good whatever.

308
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 5: By not having Max McClung in it, I killed it.

309
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: Max McClung has been carrying this thing for the last

310
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 5: three seasons.

311
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: Who does Max McClung play for. I don't know who

312
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: is Max mclung. Hang on, who does he play for?

313
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: Is he even in the league. He's not in the league.

314
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: He wasn't in the league when he won. He's not

315
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: in the league.

316
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 5: He has he has had and one he's had. He's

317
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 5: had cups of coffee in the league. When he knows

318
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: that he was a G league, he's a nobody by

319
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 5: NBA standards. Well, let me ask you this question, the

320
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 5: NBA stated, because because But but let's go back to

321
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: the Rigson point.

322
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 6: Though.

323
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: So I heard Greg asking about this, and so I

324
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 3: came in here and I said, look, I'm gonna kind

325
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: of bust your balls a little bit whatever.

326
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you.

327
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's some context I'm missing. And I say, so,

328
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: I asked him, what's the context of you saying that?

329
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: And he said, well, the product is terrible. I was like, okay, fine,

330
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: I get that the products terrible. There's a lot of

331
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 3: products out there that I don't give a damn about,

332
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: and I want them in my town, right Like, for example,

333
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: I mean, what's this? Isn't there like this three on

334
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 3: three women's league or something?

335
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: What's it called?

336
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 6: Again?

337
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I couldn't give a crap about that. I'd rather

338
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: watch Jackson pick his nose and watch that. But I

339
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: want it for my city. I think it'd be great.

340
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: I'm more opportunities. Everything we can get tennis, golf, NASCAR, basketball,

341
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: ping pong, volleyball, whatever, anything that you can think of.

342
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: If we're gonna, you know, fancy ourselves as a major

343
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: market sports hub, then we should have it all. We

344
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: should have it all in Seattle and look. Am I

345
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: as high on the NBA product as I was when

346
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: I was twenty years old? No, of course not. Part

347
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: of the reason why I'm not as high is because

348
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: I have no team. When I get a team back,

349
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: I guarantee you a lot of people like me will

350
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: be even more motivated, Dick to watch the rest of

351
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: the National Basketball Association.

352
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: But I want it back. I want it back.

353
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: Very badly, not just for me, but for everybody else

354
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: out there, and all the kids out there that were

355
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: robbed like your son by the way of not being

356
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: able to grow up with an NBA team that they

357
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: call their own. So we got to figure out what

358
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: the hell's going on in this town. I got a

359
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: guy on Twitter saying we should open up on Australia,

360
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: and I got Greg Bell telling me he's asking if

361
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: we even want the dam thing back?

362
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: That's going on, Dick.

363
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 5: The discourse in this town towards the NBA has been

364
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: poisonous for fifteen to twenty years. The facts of the

365
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: matter is, it was the highest rated All Star game

366
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 5: in eight years, it had almost ten million viewers.

367
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Right.

368
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: The facts of the matter are that the NFL has

369
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: ticked off about how much money NBC paid for the

370
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 5: basketball rights because it was so high. And the fact

371
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: of the matter is that NBA franchises gained fifteen to

372
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: twenty percent a year. So if all those are reality, right, right,

373
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: then maybe the narrative is false that the product is broken.

374
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this.

375
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, that's all a matter of opinion, right,

376
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: I mean, that's.

377
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: Those numbers are a matter of opinion.

378
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: But well, saying that the product is either broken or

379
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 5: not broken, that's a matter of it.

380
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: Why does the Why does the number of viewers dictate

381
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: whether or not somebody thinks the product is broken?

382
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: Well? No, the number of viewers indicates that it's a

383
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 5: very popular place, sure.

384
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: Right, But I can still hate it and think it's

385
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: broken and it's not for me and it's not my

386
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: cup of tea. I mean, I didn't watch a second

387
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: of the NBA Al Star Game. Did you watch a

388
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: minute of it?

389
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: I watched the highlights of the dunk contest just to

390
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: see how bad it was.

391
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: I mean, and again, I have no idea if the

392
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: NBA All Star Game was good or not. I didn't watch,

393
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't have any I can't share an opinion on

394
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: the matter. I got no idea and I'm not even

395
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: debating Dick that the NBA is popular. I think that's

396
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: ludicrous for someone to argue that the NBA is not popular.

397
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's huge internationally, nationally globally, it's gigantic. But

398
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: I do think there still are a lot of people

399
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: that don't enjoy it. And I think the majority of people,

400
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: my gut, is the majority of people that say that

401
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: say that because they have no skin in the game,

402
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: and when they have skin in the game, they'll be fine,

403
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: and they'll.

404
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: Jump on that to be a bit hypocritical. That that's

405
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: my own personal take.

406
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 5: I find it to be hypocritical when you don't have

407
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: something that it's a bad product, and then the next

408
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 5: day you do have it and it's not a bad

409
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: product anymore. That to me is hypocritical. But that's that's

410
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 5: my opinionought. I fought this battle for fifteen years right

411
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 5: against the general perspective of the league in this time.

412
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: But when you.

413
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 3: Said that the narrative is poisonous, yes, what does that mean?

414
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: Like Tangibly, it does not help me driving the League

415
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: away from Seattle.

416
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 5: It doesn't help.

417
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it matters, but I don't.

418
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 5: But because this city isn't embracing it like I believe

419
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 5: it should. If it really wants it back, it should

420
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: probably just leave it alone. Either embrace it or leave

421
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 5: it alone, not go the other way. Well, I think

422
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 5: they are embracing it.

423
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: I just think we hear from a lot of people

424
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: that don't embrace it, and I think it drives us nuts.

425
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just kind of part of being a

426
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 3: human being, right, And I do think that you're right

427
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: when you just said that there are people out there

428
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: that don't like the product or say they don't like

429
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: the product, And I don't think it matters at all.

430
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 5: Nobody was complaining about the playoffs last year, That's damn sure.

431
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody in the NBA offices or one

432
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: owner that's going to vote on this thing when they

433
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: start talking about it in March, is going to sit

434
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 3: there on a zoom call or the Board of Governors

435
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 3: meeting in New York York City or some beach in

436
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: Florida and say, you know what I was thinking about

437
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: voting for it. But god, I heard some calls to

438
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: KJR and those fans hate the NBA, so FM, this

439
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: is all the money game, all of it. It's all

440
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: dollars and cents. My opinion, your opinion, emotions, narratives don't

441
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: mean jack squat. They really don't when it's all said

442
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 3: and done. And the fact that we now have an arena,

443
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: and the fact that there are struggling franchises around the

444
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: NBA that either need to move or get their act together,

445
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: I think all that stuff matters way more than stuff

446
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 3: like that. But again, I look, I want it back,

447
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 3: all of us want it back, and I do think

448
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: we should at some point, maybe in this town, take

449
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: a little bit of a step back and just say

450
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 3: what's good for the Goose is good for the Gander

451
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 3: and getting the NBA back in town. I mean, look,

452
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: there's people that are aren't hockey fans, you know that, Dick,

453
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: But it's phenomenal that we have the kracking. We don't

454
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: have that arena without the Kracking. Look at all the shows,

455
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: the NCAA Tournament, all those things were. Isn't that cool

456
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: to have all that cool stuff in town. We're going

457
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: to break Hugh Mellon joins at four on a President's

Speaker 3: We're gonna spread it out a little bit throughout the

471
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: week on the radio program. Looking to get Chuck Arnold

472
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: on at some point from the Seahawks very soon this week.

473
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 3: Kevin Martinez, the President of Business OPS, will join us

474
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: at six pm tonight and kick it off from a

475
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: Mariner perspective. Everybody's got that Super Bowl hangover, man, so

476
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: traveling with the Olympic break. A lot of folks from

477
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: the Kraken are overseas with the Olympics.

478
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: I know Todd's in Spain by the way.

479
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, sometimes hard to grab a bunch of people

480
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: and track them down for one day. So we'll work

481
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 3: on that throughout the week. But Kmart will kick us

482
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: off at six pm tonight. We'll ask about the new

483
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: TV deal, how that's gonna work. We'll talk about the

484
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: new uniforms coming out this year, whether there be a

485
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: change to the City Connect jerseys this season the kids

486
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: love so much. So how about the EQUC Tracer with

487
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: the new ABS system they're putting in place this year.

488
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna see that on TV.

489
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 3: What's the deal there? So we'll find out at six tonight.

490
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: But Chuck and Buck are in Arizona all week long.

491
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: They spend a week together in San Francisco. They love

492
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: hanging out together so much. They came home, they made

493
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 3: love to their significant others, and then they said, let's

494
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 3: go back on the road, you and me, And now

495
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: they're back together exhaust in Arizona. Chuck and Buck with

496
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 3: Jerry Depoto.

497
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: This morning feels like there's a little different air. It

498
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like, hey, we got to chase down those astros.

499
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: It feels like we're the team to beat. Kind of

500
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: confidence around here.

501
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 7: Would you would you agree with that, I would agree

502
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 7: with that, you know, without trying to get a little

503
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 7: over the top. Yeah, you know, our guys are confident.

504
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: We we know we have a good team, and we

505
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 7: experienced a lot of things last year. We came up

506
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 7: a couple out shorts of going to the World Series,

507
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 7: and and and that gave our guys that that the

508
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 7: confidence necessary to believe that we can go out there

509
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 7: and really run it. It's we have we have stars,

510
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 7: we have personalities, we have depth, we have pitching. Yeah,

511
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 7: it's a there's a lot of things that we're doing

512
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 7: right now, and and I think the league around us

513
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 7: is noticing. I think generally speaking, we we go in

514
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 7: with a pretty favorable outlook on twenty twenty six.

515
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 8: Every single player. And I'm sure you carry this even

516
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 8: up to being you know, general manager and now print

517
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 8: you know president. I mean, the the idea of you

518
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 8: have to always be improving. You not getting as good

519
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 8: as you guys got last year, not good enough. You

520
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 8: want it, You have somewhere you need to go. So

521
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 8: over our gene thoughts on what it was you were

522
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 8: wanting to do to improve the squad.

523
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 7: You know, we had three big things we wanted to address,

524
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 7: and we hit him while we were going into the

525
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 7: off season. The number one was bringing back Josh Naylor.

526
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 7: You know, he cooperated and that happened, you know, early

527
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 7: in the off season, which really, you know, made our

528
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 7: off season possible because it's a if we were waiting

529
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 7: all off season long to see how that turned out,

530
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 7: you know, a lot of doors could potentially close. But

531
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 7: you know, it worked out to our advantage. And and

532
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 7: Nails is here for the next five years at least,

533
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 7: and and and really has been from the day we

534
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 7: acquired him through the start of this camp. Just a

535
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 7: it's a I hate to use something as simple as

536
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 7: just a shot in the arm. He just lifts everybody up.

537
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 7: He's he's smart, he's he's thoughtful, he's a great teammate,

538
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 7: an excellent player. So that was number one. Number two

539
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 7: was adding impact at the back end of our bullpen.

540
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 7: And we feel like we did that with the acquisition

541
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 7: of Jose Ferrara from Washington and obviously cost us a

542
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 7: prospect that we held in pretty high regard. But with

543
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 7: Gabe Spyer, Matt Brash, Andre's Munoz, Edward Bizardo really gives

544
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 7: us that type of back end that you see in

545
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 7: championship teams, which was a goal. And then we wanted

546
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 7: to add that one more back to lengthen the lineup,

547
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 7: and that one took a while.

548
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 9: You know.

549
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 7: It was someone said to me man the offseason Flew.

550
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 7: I said, yeah, unless you were sitting waiting for the

551
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 7: Cardinals to trade us Brendon Dodavan. Ultimately we landed the

552
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 7: guy that we had our eyes set on the whole time,

553
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 7: and here in the early going in spring training, it's

554
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 7: been worth the wait. He's everything we thought he would

555
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 7: be from a makeup emotional you know, it's an energy,

556
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 7: just a quality player who's a pro and goes about

557
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 7: his business the right way.

558
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: So what do you envision for him and where he

559
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: plays on the field.

560
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 7: We want his focus when he's coming into spring training

561
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 7: to be third base. It's a position he has played

562
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 7: a fair bit in his career, but not in recent

563
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 7: years because he was playing with Nolan Aaron and I

564
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 7: guess when you're playing with a Hall of famer, you

565
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 7: don't get the reps. Yeah, but you know Brendan is

566
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 7: he is like the super Swiss army knife defender who

567
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 7: can do just about anything defensively on a field. He's

568
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 7: played everywhere. You know, we're not going to ask him

569
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 7: to pitch, catch or play center. But it's right now

570
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 7: we're viewing him as the likely opening day third baseman.

571
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 7: And one of the reasons why Brendan was such an

572
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 7: appealing target for us in the offseason is because of

573
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 7: his versatility, it allowed our young players to continue to grow.

574
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: Well, there you go.

575
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: That was one of the bigger questions we had right

576
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 3: when they got Donovan as word as you play, and

577
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 3: Jerry's said it right there, he's a third baseman.

578
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: He's going to be our third baseman.

579
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 3: Want the guy to start off at the at the

580
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: hot corner. And look, I mean, I just wonder if

581
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: they've done enough right. I mean, obviously they came very

582
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: close a year ago. They were eight outs away. We

583
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: all know what happened. No need to relive it, by

584
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: the way, but I do think that you have to

585
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: be if you're John Stanton, Chris Larsen, anybody with a

586
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 3: stake in the game as far as ownership, as motivated

587
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: now as you've ever been to go out and make

588
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: this thing better. And they could do that at the deadline.

589
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 3: They could make moves to the deadline or throughout the

590
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: course of the year and make this baseball team better.

591
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think relying on a bunch of

592
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 3: young kids in the infields the way to go. So

593
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 3: I love the Donovan acquisition ref Snyder. I'm fine with that.

594
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: You know, they're going to have a platoon out there

595
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: in the outfield. I do worry a little bit about

596
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: their pitching depth. Dick guys get banged up, which is

597
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: always bound to happen. Do they have enough in their rotation?

598
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: They could probably use one more arm in that bullpen.

599
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: I think between now and April. But you've got you got,

600
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: you know, two months almost right, you know, month and

601
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 3: forty five days to get this thing, or month and

602
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 3: fifteen days.

603
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they choose to.

604
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 5: Go about it differently than a lot of teams, probably

605
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 5: most teams. Most teams like to build their organization from

606
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 5: December to February, right, And the Mariners like to build

607
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 5: their twenty five man roster twenty seven man roster in July.

608
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 2: Right, And then I mean's and that's fine.

609
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, as long as it works,

610
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 5: and last year it worked, like we can criticize when

611
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 5: it doesn't work. We can criticize when we win eighty

612
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 5: seven games and miss out on the playoffs by two like,

613
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 5: that's when we can criticize. We can't criticize when we

614
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 5: go to Game seven of the ALCS. They have been

615
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: by far the most active trade deadline team in Major

616
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: League Baseball.

617
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: The last three seasons.

618
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 5: I mean that is not even close, right, So, as

619
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 5: long as they've got the pieces down the stretch in

620
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 5: August and September and October, that's what's important to me.

621
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: Well, I think what's important to me is winning a

622
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: World Series title, and it's hard to do in this league,

623
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: especially with the talent, not not the talent, but the

624
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: payroll gap between yourself and a team like the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets,

625
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: all that, I get it. You're never going to be

626
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: ever that first tier. You're just not going to be

627
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: that first tier.

628
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: Andyone else is other than those three fourteen And that's

629
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: why we're going to have a shutdown.

630
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: That's why I think this is another example of why

631
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: this year is so big, because who knows how long

632
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: it'll be if they do shut her down until we

633
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 3: play baseball again. I mean there's a real shot next

634
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: April of twenty twenty seven that this thing is locked

635
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: out and we're not playing. I mean, the Donovan thing

636
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: is interesting to me because the majority of his games

637
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 3: have come at second base. He's got two hundred and

638
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: thirteen games as a second baseman, only thirty seven at

639
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: third and one hundred and fifty five and left, so

640
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: he's kind of a fish out of water in some ways.

641
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: At third, they obviously see enough to believe that he

642
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: can do it. I mean, after the Hore Polanco experiment

643
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 3: a year ago, which was like the Night of the

644
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: Walking Dead at third base, anything can't be worse than

645
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 3: anything with a heartbeat is better than what they have

646
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 3: with Polanco a year ago.

647
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: So I'm fine with it.

648
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: But I just think that they better be motivated like

649
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 3: crazy right now.

650
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: And I'm talking players too.

651
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you had Cal Rowley, George Kirby, Josh Naylor,

652
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 3: Brian wu were all there at the Super Bowl right

653
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: cheering these guys on. They've all become gigantic fans of

654
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 3: the Hawks. They see what they did. The ownership sees

655
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: what Jody Allen just did. The front office sees what

656
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: John Schneider just did. They have set the bar. I'm

657
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 3: sorry for everybody the Hawks have for this entire city

658
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: to follow their lead, and I just again hope that

659
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 3: everybody is as motivated as can be as they've ever

660
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: been to get that taste out of their mouth, the

661
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: Bizardo thing eight outs away, watching their partners across the city,

662
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: across the street, for God's sakes, go out and win

663
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 3: a title.

664
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: They there should never ever be.

665
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: If you can measure motivation, Dick, it should never be

666
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: higher than it is right now.

667
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 5: Well, I never I feel it. I don't know if

668
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 5: you and Jackson feel. I totally feel the motivation from

669
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 5: the Mariners. I totally feel the motivation from Jerry Depoto.

670
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 5: I don't think there's a question at all. But remember,

671
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 5: we failed to make the World Series last year, not

672
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: because we didn't have an extra twenty five million dollar bat.

673
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: We failed to make the World Series last year because

674
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: we didn't have an extra left handed arm right makes

675
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 5: like two or three million dollars. It wasn't a salary

676
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 5: thing that kept us from the World Series.

677
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 3: They also had a no show in Game six, by

678
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: the way, by everybody, so I mean it, of course,

679
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: but that's why you give yourself more swings at the

680
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: pinata more rolls of the dice and again when you

681
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: sit out then you mentioned it yourself, and you're exactly right.

682
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: The Mariners don't like to build their team in the

683
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: off seasons, right, and again you say it works, okay,

684
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: got you to Game seven.

685
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: Well, now the pressure is on to make a world series.

686
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: Now, getting to the ALCS is not good enough, and

687
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: it should never be good enough, not for a franchise

688
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: that's been waiting fifty fricking years to make.

689
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: A world series. All right, we're gonna break.

690
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: Fun with Audio and then Milling at four on ninety

Speaker 3: All right here, Miller's gonna join us at four o'clock

696
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: a little more four with Huey uh. We'll talk at

697
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 3: the new offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, Brian.

698
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: Flary, not THEO Fleury, Is that right? He's not right?

699
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: Not Calee Flury, not related to the Flary family. Do

700
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: we now have a mac Flurry? We might? It looks

701
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: like Obi wan Kenoby.

702
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest with you, man, Jesus, you see

703
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: that photo that came out yesterdays like that For all

704
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: the idiots out there who think that Ewan McGregor is

705
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: the real Obi Wan Kenoby, No, it's Alec guinnis get

706
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: it right. For God's sakes, Jackson, are you with me

707
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: on that son of a bitch?

708
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: That pause? Why'd you? I? And Paul God?

709
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 4: Because my generation with with the other ones. But at

710
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 4: the end of the day, like the series was so

711
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: bad that he needs to be just a race.

712
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: I thought we were gonna have an Andrews moment there

713
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: for a second, and it was really really concerned you.

714
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: When you grow up with something, it's hard to get

715
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: it out of your brain. For sure. I watched those

716
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: before I watched you.

717
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: Look, man, I grew up with Roger Moore's James Bond

718
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: and then discovered Sean Connery and I became an adult

719
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 3: and realized that Rod was terrible Sean Connery.

720
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 5: What's the chance that anders Hearst once went to Halloween

721
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 5: as Jar Jar Binks.

722
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: Who because that's his favorite character?

723
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 8: Right here?

724
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: Thought wow, it's not his favorite? Did he have his

725
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: baby yet?

726
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: By the way, we can't say what do you mean really? Okay, well, congrats,

727
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: there you go. You got something in your eye. Hey, Dick,

728
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: did you happen to.

729
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: Hear that's sad?

730
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 6: Dave?

731
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: What's that?

732
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 8: Dick?

733
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: Andy Hart, co host.

734
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 3: On w ee i's afternoon radio show in Boston, how

735
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: a message for Seattle Seahawk players following the ass kicking

736
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: his beloved Patriots took in the Super Bowl.

737
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, you were really good. You won the Super Bowl.

738
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 10: You were really impressive. But who the bleep do you

739
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 10: think you are? You not the eighty five Bears?

740
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 9: Oh?

741
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, you just admitted that you watched film and knew.

742
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 10: You were going to beat up on and inferior your

743
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 10: team with a bad, young, old line, a young quarterback.

744
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 6: You knew right away they couldn't mess with us. This

745
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 6: is like Devin Witherspoon.

746
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 10: Oh, we knew exactly what they were doing based on

747
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 10: every play because they set differently.

748
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 6: I knew how to blitz or Ernest Jones. It's a run.

749
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 6: It's a run. Okay, great, you're awesome. We saw it.

750
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 6: You won.

751
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 10: They literally give you a parade and a ring and

752
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 10: a trophy.

753
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 6: I got two words for you.

754
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, bleep you and shut the bleep up to

755
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 10: Dante Scarneki. I don't know if you guys saw Karen

756
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 10: asked him about some of these Devin Witherspoon comments, and

757
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 10: he basically told them to shut up, to shut up

758
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 10: scars like shut up.

759
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: You won.

760
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 6: Everybody gave you the trophy you won. Shut up.

761
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: I love it. First of all, thank you. Number two.

762
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: Number three.

763
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: The amount of whining from a six times Super Bowl

764
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: champion city.

765
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: I'm actually shocked to hear it.

766
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 5: By the way, I am too very surprised for a

767
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 5: fan base.

768
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: And a media base that was so.

769
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 5: Arrogant going into this thing then to just turn into whining, sniveling,

770
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 5: excuse making morons. Dave Portnoy is the leader of all

771
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 5: of them. From Barstool. I mean, it's unbelievable.

772
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: Poroy's laugh for the bank, So I get it from Portnoys,

773
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: but I mean they sound like children, honestly, like shut

774
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 3: up and hey, like I said earlier, I love it.

775
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: I think it's fantastic. I think when people whine and

776
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: bitch and moan about stuff, it means that you've really

777
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: left your mark.

778
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: And I think the hawk.

779
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 3: Defense, the dark side defense, if you will really left

780
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: the mark on that Patriot fan base. I think they

781
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: kind of realized that maybe all the talk about their

782
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: schedule by the way, that they were a bit of

783
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 3: a fraud this year. That were the normal Mahomes, a

784
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: normal season from Lamar, a normal Buffalo Bill Josh Allen team.

785
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 3: They're not even in the equation for an AFC championship,

786
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: let alone a Lombardi Troup co be an equation next year.

787
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: I think they're done for a while. I agree with you. Yes,

788
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: all right, let me get the proper audio here, hit

789
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: three two one, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

790
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: What's that? Dick?

791
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 3: Michael Ivern's podcast discussing the Super Bowl. He made his

792
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: feelings very clear about this year's game taking place in

793
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 3: the Bay Area.

794
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 9: They should never have, ever, ever bring the Super Bowl

795
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 9: back to San Francisco. I'm sorry, I'm sorry the city.

796
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 9: This was in all the years of going to a

797
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 9: super Bowl, this was the worst. This this seems so like.

798
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: Blah, Yeah, well, I agree with him, but I'm in

799
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: the media. You're in the media, right, Like the average

800
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 3: fan that watches the game, I don't think really cares

801
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: where the game's played. Number one, Number two, the average

802
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 3: fan that goes to the game. What would the average

803
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 3: fan going to a super Bowl really want? Well, you

804
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: want the NFL experience. You want to go do all

805
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: that fun stuff. You want sunshine. You want restaurants and

806
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 3: bars and lots of places to gather with your buddies

807
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: and have fun. And check you've got most of that

808
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 3: in San Francisco. I guess you could say, well, you know,

809
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 3: I want to be able to go to the team

810
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 3: hotel and get autographs. So you can't get within a

811
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: mile the team hotel without getting something thrown at you

812
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: by a police officer. Good luck getting close to that

813
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: front door, right, So, I think from an average fans perspective,

814
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: it's okay. The problem is when you invite thousands of

815
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 3: media members dick to cover an event, you're also inviting

816
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 3: their opinion of the matter.

817
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: And this was a bad spot.

818
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 3: From a press perspective for the game, it was terrible, awful.

819
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: I hated it.

820
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 5: I think the bigger metropolitan market you go to, the

821
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 5: less important the NFL, and the Super Bowl is going

822
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 5: to be in that market.

823
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: Right.

824
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 5: If you go to an Indie, you go to Jacksonville,

825
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 5: you go to a New Orleans it's smaller, it's concentrated,

826
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 5: and it feels like the NFL and the Super Bowl

827
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 5: has taken over the city. It did not feel like

828
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 5: the NFL took over the city in San Francis. It

829
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 5: felt like the NFL took over like a four block

830
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 5: of radius right in San Francisco, and that was it.

831
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 5: You go outside of that, you would have never known

832
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl as well.

833
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: It was funny we got off the airplane on Sunday afternoon.

834
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember what I said when

835
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: we got off the plane. There's nothing here, like nothing,

836
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: nothing in the airport, No welcome to super Bowl sixty, nothing,

837
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: Seahawks Patriots. Normally it's all just bang right there. In

838
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: first we got there a week before the game, So

839
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: what so? I mean, I don't think a lot of

840
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 3: people traveling other than media food right, are getting there

841
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 3: a week before the game. They've known, they've had the

842
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: game for like five years. And people getting off the

843
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 3: plane from the press corps on Sunday afternoon, there absolutely

844
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: should have been more at the airport, and there was

845
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: nothing there.

846
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: Next year the.

847
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 3: Game's in La I guarantee it there's going to be

848
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 3: nothing for the exception of traffic by the way, that

849
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: will be an out sixty miles away from La No nothing,

850
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 3: Everything will be in the same general vicinity.

851
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: It'll be much tighter next year in Los Angeles.

852
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 3: We're gonna Breakhugh Mellin's gonna join next on ninety three
