1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Where go.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: Mike Florio will join us, by the way, in a

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: matter of minutes talk some NFL with him. Lots of stuff,

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: all of a sudden happening around the National Football League,

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: a lot of it involving the Seahawks. Man, I'm in

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: the sale of the team, Kenny Walker story, these hirings

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: in Seattle. We'll get to all that with Mike Petros

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: will join us at four and we'll see what kind

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: of excuse he's gotten made up today for his buddy

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: Mick Cronin.

11
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: So I thought was an embarrassment last night.

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: If you miss that, you'll get that in Fun with

13
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: Audio by the way at three forty five this afternoon.

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: Chuck Powell will join us on the show from Peoria

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: as well on day three for those guys from Arizona

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: at five forty five, and give us a breakdown of

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: everything happening on day three at Mariner's spring training. But

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: look the big news what we've known now for a

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: while and we expected to happen after the report came

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: out from Seth Whipper Snapper and Brady Henderson or is

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: it Wickersham By the way, I keep forgetting whipper Snapper.

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call him whiper Snap. By the way, that's

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: more fun to say whipper snapper. It's way more. It's

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: like rubarb. It's fun to say the team is for sale.

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: Seahawks are for sale. And look, I mean, I don't

26
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: know what your take is on this, guys. You know

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: how much angst you have over the idea of a

28
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: new owner, you know, a new person in charge. But

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: I will just say this that I would hope that

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: all of us can agree that when you consider magnitude

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: and impact and success and all those things thrown into

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: a big pie and a big stew and Alan running

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: the Seahawks was just about as successful as you could

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: have wanted as a Seahawks fan or any fan of

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: any team in this town. I mean, nobody's had the

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: thirty year run that the Allens have had running the Seahawks.

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: It's been unbelievable. And then go back and look at.

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: BA and AA before Allen and after Allen, right, b

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: a baracas from the A team. Look BA and AA right,

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: look at the A team, and then go look at

41
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: Alcoholics anonymous. Okay, and you tell me what the Seahawks

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: I mean, twenty one years before Paul Allen bought the

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: football team.

44
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: They went to the playoffs four.

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: Times, one division title, two double digit win seasons, which

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: is nuts, by the way, no Super Bowls, no championships.

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: And then Paul Allen buys the team and then his

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: sister takes over when Paul passed away eight years ago,

49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: almost thirty years, twenty nine years, seventeen playoff appearances, eleven

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: division titles, fourteen to ten plus win seasons, four super Bowls,

51
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: and two championships. I mean, there's nothing to argue with.

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: It was the most incredible run that any ownership group

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: has ever had in this city's history. And you're asking

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: a new person or group of people right to come

55
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: in and keep it going.

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's my level of angst? It's not nothing, but

57
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: it's not a lot. I would say my level of

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: angst is greater in the long term than it is

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: in the short term, because in the short term, I

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: know I'm gonna have John Schneider and I know i'm

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: gonna have Mike McDonald. The short term, I've got zero

62
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: inks because you could bring in the world's worst owner

63
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: as long as their first and second decision is to

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: keep John Schneider and Mike McDonald, then we're going to

65
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: be fine. But it's after that, or do those guys

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: are they so terrible to work for that John Schneider

67
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: and Mike McDonald no longer want to work for them

68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: four or.

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: Five years down the road.

70
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, in my opinion, there's a

71
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: lot more crappy professional sports owners than there are great

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: professional sports owners. So our chances of landing someone even

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: close to Paul Allen are not very good.

74
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I think they're very, very small. And I agree with

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: everything you're saying.

76
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm actually shocked at your negative tone because I'm right

77
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: there with you. I'm very skeptical, right, I mean, guys,

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: it's not that I'm skeptical that the Seahawks cannot find

79
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: a decent owner. I think it's going to be very

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: hard for them to find somebody that can duplicate what

81
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: the Allens just did for twenty nine years. You're talking

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: about the cream or the crop, right. This is the

83
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: most elite run that any owner in town has ever had,

84
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: and you want someone to duplicate that. And I agree

85
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: with you that as long as John and Mike you

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: are here, you should be fine. But who knows what

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: a new owner is going to want to do. Who

88
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: knows what a new chairperson is going to want to do.

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the third that the guy that

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: runs the Carolina Panthers, for God's sakes, Jerry Jones, is

91
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: hiring his kids. We know what it's like to have

92
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: an owner one as kid here because Ken Barring named

93
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: his son the general manager. Who knows what the hell

94
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: is gonna happen, David Barry with a brand new ownership group.

95
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: So I'm nervous that the salad days, if you will,

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: of Seahawk Football may eventually come to an end with

97
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: a brand new ownership group. But I'm also hopeful cross

98
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: on my fingers, that they do their due diligence the

99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: Allen of State and they sell it to somebody that

100
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: they feel as good as they can, because.

101
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: Nobody really knows.

102
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: I mean, go ask John Nordstrom if he thought Ken

103
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: Barring would be what he turned into. Not at all

104
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: have sold the damn teem if that was the case.

105
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: So I'm hopeful that they can find somebody that will

106
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: continue along this path, learn from the people that are

107
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: left behind by Jody Allen and Bert Cold, and keep

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: the train going Mike Florio joins us right now.

109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,640

Speaker 5: else has. For the best Storm, Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Rainiers, Sounders,

113
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 5: and not to mention, the largest Sonics collection in the world,

00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: All right, here we go from the NFL and NBC

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: Pro Football Talk dot Com at Pro Football talkon x

118
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: fellow for all the breaking news PFT Live. Our friend,

119
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: the absolute undisputed and that was obvious in San Francisco,

120
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: by the way, the way people flock to this guy,

121
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: undisputed heavyweight champion of the NFL Press Corps. Our friend

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 2: Mike Florio joins us right now on the radio show. Michael,

123
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: how are you man?

124
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 6: You call it X? How do you call it X?

125
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 7: No?

126
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: It's Twitter? All right.

127
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: First of all, I always call it I always call

128
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: it Twitter. I just decided for this one particular time

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: to call it X.

130
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Is that okay? Nine out of ten?

131
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 8: Well, whatever you say?

132
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: Talking about the Seahawks. Man, they're up for sale. How

133
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: nervous should Seahawks fans be that they're going from an

134
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: ownership group that, let's face it, Mike has crushed it

135
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: for twenty nine years too, and unknown that who knows

136
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: what the future will hold for this football team.

137
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 8: You know, I rarely take a victory lot because I

138
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 8: rarely get one right. But I hope that folks who

139
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 8: are paying attention to PFT in recent weeks remember our

140
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 8: explanation and an effort to harmonize the Wall Street Journals

141
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 8: report that the league had fined the Seahawks five million

142
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 8: dollars for being out of compliance with ownership requirements. The

143
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 8: league insisting there was no fine, We ultimately synthesized and

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 8: report the reality was the league backed off with the

145
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 8: understanding the team would be promptly sold after the Super Bowl.

146
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 8: Here we are, week after the parade and the team

147
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 8: is for sale. I'm also told that the final price

148
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 8: is expected to be in the range of nine to

149
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 8: eleven billion, presumably to.

150
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 6: The highest bidder.

151
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 8: And here's the problem for NFL fans, and specifically in

152
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 8: this instance, the twelves. You have to take two tests

153
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 8: to get a driver's license, written and performative.

154
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 6: You have to take zero tests.

155
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 8: To own a football team, all you have to do

156
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 8: is show up with the biggest bag of cash. You

157
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 8: don't have to know anything about football, you don't have

158
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 8: to be a good person.

159
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 6: You just have to have the most money.

160
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 8: There's a risk that whoever takes over the team is

161
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 8: going to decide to start messing with things.

162
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 6: To improve it to justify his or her existence.

163
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 8: Is the new owner, and that's where things can start

164
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 8: to go the wrong way. On the bright side, this

165
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 8: is basically the house you buy its turnkey. You don't

166
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 8: need to fix it up like the commanders. You just

167
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 8: show up, go to the luxury suite, eat your sushi,

168
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 8: drink your chardenay, and watch the team and stay out

169
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 8: of the way. The best possible outcome is an owner

170
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 8: who will do that.

171
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: What's the number one key for a multi billionaire to

172
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: become a great owner, other than just staying out of

173
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: the way of the situation's good.

174
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 6: We'll hire good people and stay out of the way.

175
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 8: And when it's time for you to chime in, you

176
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 8: need to be very careful.

177
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 6: You need to be certain that you don't let.

178
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 8: Your preferences be known to the point where the people

179
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 8: who are working for you, in an effort to please you,

180
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 8: since you pay them, will do what they think they

181
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 8: want you to do.

182
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 6: I think that's been one of the problems in Cleveland.

183
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 8: An owner Jimmy Haslam could pass the polygraph test that

184
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 8: he never tells his underlings what to do. I think

185
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 8: he has a bad habit of making his preferences known,

186
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 8: and so the people who would like to remain employed

187
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 8: by him guests at what he wants, and they do

188
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 8: what he wants.

189
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: I think that is really the challenge.

190
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 8: You need to be involved. You need to be there

191
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 8: every day. You need to show that you care. You

192
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 8: can't be an absence landlord. I think the message that

193
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 8: is sent to everyone in the organization if you're there

194
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 8: every day is that you care about it as much

195
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 8: as they should.

196
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you got to be very careful.

197
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 8: To not impose your will on things you don't really understand.

198
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 8: And I think a lot of these people who have

199
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 8: made a ton of money in other lines of work

200
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 8: think their success is transferable, and we have seen time

201
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 8: and again it is not.

202
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: Well, you're exactly right, Paul Allen.

203
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he was successful, and necessarily Mike because

204
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: he's a gazillionaire, but he was smart enough to know

205
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: what he didn't know and hire people that didn't know

206
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: and let them do the job. He was amazing at that.

207
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: I think Jody was the exact same way as well.

208
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: Let John Schneider make these calls and let him fire

209
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll and let's move on. Let's go win a

210
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: title and at works. So do you think that we'll

211
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: see a new owner by September? How how fast or

212
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: slow will this process take?

213
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 6: You think, Oh, I think it's going to start to move.

214
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 9: One of the reasons it's going to start to move

215
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 9: is the NFL was pushing once that provision in the

216
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 9: lease expired May of twenty two, twenty four that would

217
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 9: have required ten percent of the proceeds of the sale

218
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 9: to go to the state of Washington. That's when I

219
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 9: believe the league started saying, okay, okay, you're just the

220
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 9: custodian of this team. Temporarily, you need to sell it

221
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 9: in accordance with the wishes of the trust in the state,

222
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 9: and that money gets given to charity.

223
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 6: Let's go. You can't just squad on this thing. Forever.

224
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 6: We've got to move forward. So my guess is, and

225
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 6: given the fact that this has been kind of boiling

226
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 6: behind the scenes.

227
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 8: The people in that network, the multi billionaire American oligarchs,

228
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 8: they've gotten the word around if this asset's.

229
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 6: Going to be available. So now we just sit back.

230
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 8: And we wait and see who shows up with the

231
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 8: biggest bag of cash.

232
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 6: Mike.

233
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: The Ken Walker situation has gotten a lot of play

234
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: this week, and I was thinking about it today.

235
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: I mean, if the Seahawks, they seemingly are in a.

236
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: Kind of take it or leave its situation, we'd like Ken,

237
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: but we really don't want to spend that much on Ken. Well,

238
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: isn't that exactly what the transition tag is for. You

239
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: put a number on him that you'll pay him, and

240
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: then if he gets more someplace else, you can either

241
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: choose the match or you can let them go.

242
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 8: Right, But if nobody offers him the kind of offer

243
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 8: he'll take, then he's under contract for eleven million dollars

244
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty six, and that may be more than

245
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 8: they want to pay a running back. They paid him

246
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 8: eight point four million dollars for four years total.

247
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 6: The supply of running backs that are capable of playing

248
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 6: at a high level in the NFL.

249
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 8: Outweighs the demand, and that's why the running back position

250
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,359
Speaker 8: has been devalued.

251
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 6: It's not the teams who have consciously said we don't

252
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 6: care about running backs.

253
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 8: It's because there are too many of them that could

254
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 8: get it done at the NFL level. So you can

255
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 8: draft a guy in round two, three, four, five, six,

256
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 8: wherever you can find a guy undrafted. If you can

257
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 8: block for him, and if you can trust him the

258
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 8: whole out of the football, and if he's capable of

259
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 8: picking up blitzes on third down, you've got yourself an

260
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 8: NFL running back. And there are more NFL running backs

261
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 8: than there are.

262
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 6: Teams that need them. That's the bottom line.

263
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 8: So I think it was interesting that they leaked on

264
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 8: the first day of the two week window for the

265
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 8: franchise tag that they're unlikely to use it on him.

266
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 6: I don't think that was a mistake.

267
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 8: I don't think that anyone was dumpster diving Woodward and

268
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 8: Bernstein's style.

269
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 6: That was a deliberate leak. It was given to Schefter

270
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 6: with his megaphone can tell the world.

271
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 8: And I think it sends a message to the fans

272
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 8: don't get your hopes up that we're going to apply

273
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 8: the franchise tag.

274
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 6: And it's also a message to Walker, go ahead, go

275
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 6: to Indianapolis. Your agent can go and see what else

276
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: is out there.

277
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 8: And we're confident that whatever you may want, And I

278
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 8: think it would be naive to think there haven't been

279
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 8: some conversations. Whatever it is you may want, you're not

280
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 8: going to find it somewhere else.

281
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: Well, how important is it to bring him back because

282
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: Zach Sharburne blew his acl out and won't be ready

283
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: to go in September. I mean a lot of people

284
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: have said they got to bring him back because if

285
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: they don't, they'll have two new guys starting in the

286
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: backfield or your.

287
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: One A and one B week one.

288
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: How much does the Charbrene injury you think force their

289
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: hand at all?

290
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 6: I think it makes it more important. It raises the

291
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 6: stakes on the final outcome. But they could draft a

292
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 6: guy at the bottom of round one. They can draft

293
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 6: a guy in round two.

294
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 8: You can plug and play a running back much more

295
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 8: quickly than you can any.

296
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,239
Speaker 6: Other position on offense.

297
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 8: It is simple than learning the route tree and figuring

298
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 8: out how to work with the quarterback.

299
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 6: The offensive line play. Five guys working in unison running.

300
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 8: Back again got to be able to pick up blitzers

301
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 8: and that is going to be the biggest challenge. And

302
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 8: whoever they have back there, they better trust to be

303
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 8: able to get the guy at the right time when

304
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 8: he's coming through that hole. But I think that at

305
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 8: a certain level, you just have to ask yourself how

306
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 8: much money do we want to allocate to this position

307
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 8: when there's that ever present risk, And this is one

308
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 8: of the reasons why the position's devalued. You can tear

309
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 8: an ACL on any play. You're running into a cluster

310
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 8: of humanity. There are pressures applied to every joint, every

311
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 8: ten in every bone, every livament in your body, and

312
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 8: the chances of something going kufflui, and that is a

313
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 8: technical term, they are high. So if you make a

314
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 8: massive investment in Kenneth Walker, you may end up regretting it.

315
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 6: And I go back twenty years to John Alexander.

316
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 8: They had to give him a market level deal and

317
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 8: they regretted it after a year. You never lived up

318
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 8: to that big contract that they had to give him

319
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 8: after his MVP season.

320
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: Well, part of that's because Hutchinson walk to Minnesota. But

321
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: you're right.

322
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: But Mike, just to wrap that up, the Walker, your

323
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: gut is that you think he's backer that he takes

324
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: off What is your gut tell you?

325
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know. It depends on what someone else

326
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 6: is gonna pay him.

327
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 8: You know, there was a time, and this was when

328
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 8: the salary cap first started, I felt like teams would

329
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 8: overpay the players on the Super Bowl champion just to

330
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 8: diminish the Super Bowl champion.

331
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 6: It felt like there were teams that were determined to

332
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 6: take key.

333
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 8: Cowboys players away and overpay them, like an Alvin Harper

334
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 8: for example, and other players when they come available, Let's

335
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 8: go get him and take them away from Dallas. If

336
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 8: there's a team out there that is willing to make

337
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 8: a projection based on three games in the postseason when

338
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 8: it all fell together and Walker had a thousand yard season,

339
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 8: but he's had injuries over the past few years. He

340
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 8: had one thousand yards his first year and then there

341
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 8: was some decline. You're making a projection that he's going

342
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 8: to come in and do for you with four.

343
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 6: Years of wear and tear. What that money will entail?

344
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 6: And hey, the Giants got it wrong with say Kwon Barkley.

345
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 8: There's a risk that this guy's going to walk away

346
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 8: to another team and instantly become a superstar. But I

347
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 8: think the the Auks are comfortable if if he wants

348
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 8: more than what they're.

349
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 6: Willing to pay, I think they're comfortable letting.

350
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 8: Him walk away and let's see what they can do

351
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 8: by way of backfilling the position.

352
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 7: Got it?

353
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: So, Mike, we got the Rams and Niners going to Australia.

354
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: That's a sixteen thousand mile round trip. That is more

355
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: miles than the Steelers flew all season in twenty twenty five.

356
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: And now we're finding out San Francisco's going to Mexico

357
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: City as well. So, I mean, is this just unlimited

358
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: how many times we can travel these teams and how

359
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: detrimental down the road in the season is it going

360
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: to be for these teams?

361
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 8: Well, I mean the good news is it gets them

362
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 8: as far away from the electrical substation as possible.

363
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 6: Hey, but thirty eight thousand miles of traveling, I think

364
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 6: that's when they go, when they go to Atlanta and

365
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 6: when they go to New Jersey. It's not going to

366
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 6: be back to back.

367
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 8: I have a feeling the schedule is going to have

368
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 8: them at the Falcons out the Giants consecutive weeks so

369
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 8: they don't have to go.

370
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 6: Cross country twice. But hell, I know what it's like.

371
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 8: I did the cross country flight Pittsburgh and San Francisco

372
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 8: and back again.

373
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 6: You got to cover from that. Chris Sims said.

374
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 8: That when he was playing for the Buccaneers early in

375
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 8: his career, they had a preseason game in Japan and

376
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 8: that messed them up into the regular season.

377
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 6: It screws up your body clock.

378
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 8: The jet lag is incredible, and the wear and tear

379
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 8: of cramming large bodies.

380
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 6: Into the seats on the plane. So the forty nine

381
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 6: ers are going to get dragged all over the place,

382
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 6: and the NFL doesn't care.

383
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 8: The NFL is obsessed with globalizing the sport. They're going

384
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 8: to play in Australia, They're gonna play in Mexico City,

385
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 8: They're going to play in Europe. They're gonna play anywhere

386
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 8: and everywhere they can. They want to get to sixteen

387
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 8: games per year.

388
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 6: Currently they're allowed to play up to nine, and that's

389
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 6: where it's going.

390
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 8: And the teams and the players are just pawns in

391
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 8: this plan to turn the.

392
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 6: NFL into an International Sport.

393
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: Mike, I just wonder how the Chiefs keep doing this

394
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: with Patrick Mahomes every year they're restructuring this guy's contract.

395
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: They just saved a bunch of money, They just created

396
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of salary cap space. Is this just going

397
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: to be the norm that every year they do this

398
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: with Mahomes until his deal's done and then they almost

399
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: a jillion dollars?

400
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: What's the deal?

401
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 6: Well, it's not that they're going to owe them a

402
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 6: g a jillion dollars.

403
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 8: When you have a franchise quarterback and you've kicked the

404
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 8: can year after year after year and you've created more

405
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 8: and more dead money, there's a reckoning at the tail

406
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 8: end where you have a significant dead money charge you're

407
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 8: going to have to take once the guy's no longer

408
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 8: with the team. But the thinking is this, And there

409
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 8: was an article in the Wall Street Journal during the

410
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 8: season about how Howie Roseman does this in Philadelphia. They

411
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 8: use a series of guarantees that kick in every year,

412
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 8: bonuses that kick in every year, and they kick cap

413
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 8: space forward because.

414
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 6: That money gets pro rated. That's basically what the Chiefs

415
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 6: have done here.

416
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 8: They've taken a large salary and they've kicked it into

417
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 8: future years. The salary cap keeps going up, So a

418
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 8: million dollars in cap charge this year means less next

419
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 8: year because the cap goes up, it's a smaller percentage.

420
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 8: So there's this thought, you kick as much of the

421
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 8: cap space as you can into future years. You have

422
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 8: more to work with now. And that's why they're doing

423
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 8: what they're doing. And this is always expected when they

424
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 8: signed to a twelve year contract or whatever it was,

425
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 8: this was always they're going to make adjustments, They're going to.

426
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 6: Move caps based. Teams do it all the time, and

427
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 6: folks will say, oh, how are they ever going to

428
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 6: comply with the cap?

429
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 8: And teams always find a way to do it because

430
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 8: the cap keeps going up.

431
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: So Tyreek Hill cut in Miami? Do we have a

432
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 3: full rebuild on our hands?

433
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: And is two and next?

434
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 6: Well?

435
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 8: I think we do now. Kyrie Hill was going to

436
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 8: be cut with her without his knee injury. He was

437
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 8: going to be cut with it without a new regime.

438
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 8: They were not going to pay him thirty five million dollars.

439
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 6: For twenty twenty six.

440
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 8: Then I think they would have traded him last year

441
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 8: during the season if he hadn't had that knee injury

442
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 8: to They.

443
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 6: Said last week they're close to making a decision. I

444
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 6: don't think the decision is is he going.

445
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 8: To be the starter or is he not going to

446
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 8: be on the team. I think the decision is, how

447
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 8: are we going to remove this band aid?

448
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 6: We're going to do it slowly. You know when it

449
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 6: you know you've had one of those one.

450
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 8: It's like it's like it just got a like wedge

451
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 8: a little bit and then you appeel it, or you're

452
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 8: just gonna rip a whole thing off. And I heard

453
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 8: yesterday there's a chance that they're going to cut him

454
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 8: without the post June one designation that would separate the

455
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 8: dead cap charge between.

456
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 10: Twenty twenty six where would be fifty five point two

457
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 10: million and twenty twenty seven where it would be forty

458
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 10: three point eight and take a whole damn thing of

459
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 10: ninety nine million dollars this year, which is amazing.

460
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 8: And they're basically tanking if they do it, they're tying

461
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 8: one hand behind their back. They're having a third of

462
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 8: their total cap allocation count for a guy who's not

463
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 8: on the team.

464
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 6: But that's what they may do. I think the hail

465
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 6: Mary plays who would trade for him, And of course

466
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 6: the Dolphins would stuff to pay a lot of the money.

467
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 8: They only have fifty four million this year, and they

468
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 8: may have to do something where they they bury a

469
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 8: draft pick into the transaction. You know, you we saw

470
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 8: this nine years ago when the Texans wanted to get

471
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 8: rid of brock Oswilder. They sent his contract with a

472
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 8: second round pick to the Browns and they basically sold

473
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 8: or bought cap space and cash savings for a second

474
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 8: round pick.

475
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 6: So there are creative ways to do it.

476
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 8: I don't know they're going to be able to pull

477
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 8: it off, and if they can't, they're gonna cut him

478
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 8: and they may take that full ninety nine million this year,

479
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 8: which would tell the whole world they are rebuilding right

480
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 8: and soft.

481
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: And Mike I over late thirty seconds. Brian Flurry, new

482
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: oc Seahawks just put an email out they're gonna have

483
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: a press conference with him tomorrow at noon. They took

484
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: the tight ends coach and run game coordinator from the

485
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: Niners to replace Clint Kubiak.

486
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Well, this.

487
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 8: Is a guy who's got experience with Sam Donald, and

488
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 8: Sam Donald has experience with him. They had that year

489
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 8: together in San Francisco, and it tells me that they decided,

490
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 8: you know what, this isn't just a situation where we

491
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 8: find somebody on the current staff and bump them up

492
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 8: to coordinator.

493
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 6: That didn't work for the Lions last year when Ben

494
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 6: Johnson left. So let's find someone.

495
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 8: Who we believe can run the offense the way it

496
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 8: needs to be run, do things, and he'll be expected

497
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 8: to have some different things. But the key is working

498
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 8: with Sam Donald and run game coordinator.

499
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 6: What made that offense go. It wasn't the passing game.

500
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 8: Now, the passing game helped and it produced the offensive

501
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 8: player of the year in Jackson Smith and Jigba, but

502
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 8: the running game is the key, which brings us back

503
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 8: to Kenneth.

504
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: Walker the third.

505
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 8: Whether it's him, whether it's Charbonay, whether it's somebody else,

506
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 8: they're going to need somebody who can run that football.

507
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: Mike, you're the man. Great stuff. Appreciate it.

508

Speaker 2: had on today. By the way, Logan Gilbert and Bryce

545
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 2: Miller sat down together from Peoria this morning with Chuck

Speaker 2: and Buck.

547
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 6: Two.

Speaker 12: We got a two for one special here, Bryce Miller

549
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 12: and Logan Gilbert with us here at our set at

550
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 12: spring training.

551
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna start with you Bryce.

552
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 12: Obviously you had a little bit of injury so last year,

553
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 12: but by the end of the year, I mean, my goodness,

554
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 12: what a postseason performance by you, sir.

555
00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: So how are you.

556
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 12: Feeling as we get started? What did you do differently

557
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 12: to maybe change things a little bit for yourself?

558
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 13: Yeah, I didn't know going into the off season if

559
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 13: I was gonna need to, you know, get this stuff

560
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 13: taken care of, or what our what our plan was,

561
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 13: and the way the year ended that was the best

562
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 13: I felt, you know, all season and talking with the team,

563
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 13: talking with doctor meister down in Texas. We just told

564
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 13: me to leave it alone and I don't touch anything

565
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 13: that you don't that doesn't have any any symptoms or whatever.

566
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 13: So if it's not bothering, you don't touch it. And so, yeah,

567
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 13: I had a normal off season. It spelt one hundred percent.

568
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 13: Put a couple of pounds on a little muscle. Yeah,

569
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 13: I worked on worked on getting getting the cutter, working

570
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 13: on some sliders and stuff, getting everything tuned back up.

571
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 13: Now that I had a it was kind of weird

572
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 13: having an off season where I wasn't coming off of

573
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 13: like career high in innings. I wasn't coming off off

574
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 13: of feeling completely beat up, just with how my season went.

575
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 13: So I had a healthy off season for the first

576
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 13: time in a couple of years.

577
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 14: So that was cool.

578
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 13: But no, everything, everything feels really good right now. I'm

579
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 13: ready to ready to get on the mountain.

580
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 7: Good.

581
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 14: How about you, logan? Yeah, feeling good. Yeah, arms feeling good.

582
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 14: Kind of had a good reset, take some time off,

583
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 14: and the off season just ran back up. It was

584
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 14: a pretty normal off season for me. Nothing crazy, just

585
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 14: kind of fine tuning things, trying to get back to

586
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 14: whatever the very best is.

587
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 12: How is it going to work the ABS challenge system

588
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 12: this year? Does KL get to do everything Logan?

589
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 14: Or I feel like he's going to challenge every pitch?

590
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 15: I don't know.

591
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 13: I attempted one last year in spring training. I was like,

592
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 13: all right, let me try this through a fastball way.

593
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 13: I was like, that had to be a strike. Challenge it.

594
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 13: I turned around, it was like six inches off the plate.

595
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 13: I was like, all right, maybe I'll leave that for now.

596
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 16: How about you, Logan?

597
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 6: Do you?

598
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 12: I mean I think Wood he might have mentioned something

599
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 12: today that you might be staring at center field when

600
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 12: the ball crosses home plate.

601
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 6: So yeah, maybe wouldn't be the best thing.

602
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 14: It's usually tough for me to get a good look

603
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 14: at it. They're so good at framing too. They fooled

604
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 14: me every time out there, and pitchers are pretty greedy.

605
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 14: We think everything's a strike, yeah, and then they frame

606
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 14: it and take it to the middle of the zone

607
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 14: and you're like, that had to at least catch the edge,

608
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 14: and then, like you said, it's six inches off. So

609
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 14: I probably won't be challenging small chance. I do every

610
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 14: once in a while, but I think Cal for the

611
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 14: most part will handle that.

612
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 12: I'll ask you, Logan, I mean, I know a lot

613
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 12: of you were doing some Seahawks watching. Was it an opportunity?

614
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 12: Was it inspirational for you? Is it a little intimidating that, Hey,

615
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 12: this was supposed to be our year. You guys weren't

616
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 12: supposed to be this good this early. But what did

617
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 12: you What did that do to you guys to see

618
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 12: them win a championship? Was there some motivation that was

619
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 12: attached to that?

620
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, for sure, feeding off them and what we did

621
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 14: last year, Not that we want it all, but it's

622
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 14: pretty cool that then they follow that up with actually

623
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 14: winning it all. And now I feel like the balls

624
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 14: back in our court that we have to step up

625
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 14: and follow that. And you know, the fans are buzzing,

626
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 14: They're going crazy, especially waiting for baseball, but huge football

627
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 14: fans up there. So I feel like the whole town

628
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 14: is just waiting for it.

629
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 13: Good time to be a Seattle sports Yeah.

630
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 17: No doubt.

631
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: There you go.

632
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: Bryce Miller, who, let's face it, in some ways was

633
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: kind of one of the heroes of the postseason right

634
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: for the Mariners last year.

635
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Where would they have been without that guy. Did he win?

636
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: He won Game one right in Toronto? Is that correct?

637
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: Game one?

638
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: And then you and I were doing the show from

639
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: the casino watching the Mariners kick their ass in Game two,

640
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: and then spent the entire I think it was a

641
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: Monday night by the way, watching football, just dreaming about

642
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 2: coming back and taking a three all lead.

643
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: Remember in the in game three.

644
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 2: I know this is kind of off topic for a

645
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: just slightly, but remember in game three? And am I crazy?

646
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: Or did I imagine this? Did Julio Rodriguez hit a

647
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: home run in Game three to put them up one?

648
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: Nothing? Am I right about that? You guys?

649
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: Remember that sounds right? Game three at Tea Mobile Park

650
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: and Julio goes. You're thinking, oh, this is we might

651
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: even sweep these sons of bitches, and then it all

652
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: kind of fell apart from there at home run. But

653
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, guys, kind of out loud about the longer,

654
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: not immediate term, but you know, two to three year

655
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: term future of the Big five, the guys you have

656
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: in the rotation right now, and if the emergence of

657
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: Ryan Sloan and Kate Anderson. We talked to Bucky about

658
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 2: this yesterday will eventually lead to them maybe cutting some

659
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: costs and trading one of these guys and making room

660
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: for one of the young guys.

661
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: Well, Luis Castillo, I have to see what's the term

662
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: of his deal does he have?

663
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: I think he's got two years left in his contract.

664
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: Have to look at it.

665
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure that's right. Yes, you are correct.

666
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: Twenty six and twenty seven at maybe the first guy

667
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: to go and be the first guy to go.

668
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: And it seems the timing should be about right because

669
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't think you want either one of those guys

670
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: in your rotation this year unless you absolutely need them,

671
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: like the Emerson Hancock situation of last year. So you

672
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 3: really want to look for next year. So but are

673
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 3: you really going to trade or cut a guy like

674
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: Luis Castillo one you're left on.

675
00:27:59,320 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 7: No, you're not.

676
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: You're not cutting him at all. I mean, there's no

677
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: way the Mariners would eat twenty eight million dollars.

678
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: It's it's not wow, they roll.

679
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that if they do have a need

680
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: for offense, well they consider trading one of those guys

681
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 2: before one of them hits free agency meeting. Brian wu

682
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: Bryce Miller, George Kirby or Logan Gilbert, and I think

683
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: there is a good shot you're gonna see Kate Anderson

684
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: at the major league level because I don't think the

685
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: Mariners have the pitching depth behind Emerson Hancock that they

686
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: used to have back in the day.

687
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 4: Well, they avoided arbitration. He's got.

688
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: Kirby's got two more years worth of arbitration, So Logan Gilbert,

689
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 3: I have to check on Logan on how much he's

690
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: got left.

691
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 4: I think he comes up first, doesn't he?

692
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they avoided that with him. I think this year, right,

693
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: didn't they get him a deal this offseason?

694
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: So Logan's one year ahead on the clock, right than Kirby.

695
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: Is ya Logan becomes an unrestricted free agent after the

696
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven Correct.

697
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: He's got one year eleven million dollars this year, second

698
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: to last year of arbitration, so he's got one more

699
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: year of r Could they potentially move a guy like

700
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: that halfway through next season or maybe after this offseason

701
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: and make way for one of the younger guys. The

702
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: problem with part of this that we have to factor

703
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: in is that there might be a massive work stoppage

704
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: and you never know how long this thing's gonna drag

705
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: on for.

706
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: I think that's gonna be a question. Let's just say

707
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: there is no work stoppage and we're playing baseball. I

708
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: think that's a situation that if you're not in it

709
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: during the twenty twenty seven season, ye, then you trade Logan.

710
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: Gilbert and you boy these guys start.

711
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: If you are in it, I mean, are you really

712
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: gonna send one of those pitchers away if you're three

713
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: games up in the wild Card on July thirty first?

714
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: I have you maybe?

715
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 4: Would people would.

716
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: Riot send one of the current guys?

717
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 4: Yes, no, ship one of those current guys.

718
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: You would trade one of the other, one of the

719
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: young guys, the guy you want to move Sloan Anderson

720
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: for a major league ready bat and a big time bopper,

721
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: then I would consider doing that. I just think they

722
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: want to see what these guys are all about before

723
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: they start moving pieces around.

724
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 15: Man.

725
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: I mean, these are established dudes that have been balls

726
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 2: for them for the last four or five years, and

727
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: shipping them off for a couple of unknowns that haven't

728
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: even thrown. A pitcher made four or five starts in

729
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: the major leagues is a huge freaking risk. But I

730
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: do think that there's a chance, Dick, that they are

731
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: going down that road because they're not going to start

732
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: seven guys. They're gonna have to make room for these dudes.

733
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: At some point, somebody's gonna have to go. It's either

734
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: gonna be the young guys or it's gonna be the

735
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: old guys. Somebody eventually will take off.

736
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: Well financially, I think it's definitely one of the old guys,

737
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: because don't you think the Mariner's plan is to get

738
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: ten years worth of ACE out of Logan Gilbert plus

739
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: Kate Anderson, out of George Kirby plus Ryan Sloan get

740
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: a decade worth out of two pitchers that don't make

741
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: any money at all.

742
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: You already know my take on that, man. I don't

743
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: think salary should mean anything, but it does. I know

744
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: it does. I'm not naive, right, I mean, Logan Gilbert's

745
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: going to be twenty nine in May, by the way,

746
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, so at the.

747
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: End of his deal, he'll be thirty one years old. Yeah, right, time.

748
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: Never know, might well it might be or he.

749
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: Might be kicking ass, he might be slaughtering people. I

750
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: don't just start giving guys up because they're making too

751
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: much money.

752
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: That's chicken crap.

753
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: But that's the way this franchise, and to be fair,

754
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: that's the way a lot of franchises operates in Major

755
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: League Baseball.

756
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: Most I would save a couple of bucks.

757
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: I mean, if you've got, if you've got two pictures

758
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: of equal ability, and let's just say Ryan Sloan two

759
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: years from now has equal ability to Logan Gilbert, right right,

760
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: I mean with a major league level, yes, yes, wouldn't

761
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: you rather have Ryan Sloan making nothing in your rotation

762
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: than a thirty one year old Logan Gilbert. I would

763
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: making twenty plus million dollars a year.

764
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 2: If the money means that you can go out and

765
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: get more bats, then yeah, for sure. But I just again,

766
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: if I'm a gazillionaire and I'm running this thing, that's

767
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: not a factor for me. The factor is who's the

768
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: better player, who gives me the longer term answer, Who's

769
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: the guy that I feel more comfortable with, and that

770
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: guy if that guy is still a thirty year old

771
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: over a twenty three year old, that I'm picking the

772
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: third year old. But again, I'm just reminding everybody I

773
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: know how this works, and it's easy when you're not

774
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: in charge to say things like that. And I'm not

775
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: in charge, but the fact that we may have a

776
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: salary cap.

777
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: Then, by the way, who knows the.

778
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: Way this thing's gonna look in the next couple of years, Dick,

779
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: all right, we're gonna break a little fun with audio.

780
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: This a whopper, by the way, this is an absolute whopper.

781
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: January, Mick Cronin.

782
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: When you thought more than that, Mick Cronin and other

783
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: people around sports could not look any dumber, any pettier,

784
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: and any more arrogant. We're gonna get to that coming

785
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: up on ninety three three KJRFM, It's now.

786
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: Time for sufday in Dick's fun with audio. Jimmy g

803
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: Swear words.

804
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Dick Fane smells like eggs. No, that's not on there, eggs.

805
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: Let's start today with one of the strangest things you'll

806
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: ever hear in the Olympics. Late last night last week, Sorry,

807
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: Sterla Holmlagrid of Norway won the bronze medal and the biathlon.

808
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Immediately afterwards, Sterla spoke.

809
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: With a Norwegian TV network and admitted that three months

810
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: ago he cheated on his girlfriend, who he has only

811
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: been with for six months. In a press conference after

812
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: the event and the interview, he reflected on his decision

813
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: to come clean.

814
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 16: I haven't got any reactions from the girl that I mentioned,

815
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 16: and I'm happy because then maybe she hasn't seen it.

816
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 7: Maybe she will see it at the right time.

817
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 16: I hope I don't make anything worse for her um,

818
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 16: but maybe it can help.

819
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 7: I don't know. I hope there's a ending and end,

820
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 7: so we will see. We'll time, time will do.

821
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: So he's hoping that she did not hear about his admission.

822
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: Does she live in a cave?

823
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure she is.

824
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: She deaf and blind and without fingertips.

825
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: Does he think this is like nineteen forty seven?

826
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: He says, maybe it'll be a good thing. Well, I mean,

827
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe she cheated on him too.

828
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 3: You can he he can do a radio interview and

829
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 3: maybe your girlfriend doesn't find out you cheat.

830
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 4: On her like eighty years ago.

831
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, you cheat on me, I cheat on you.

832
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: We meet in Midley, right, Oh my god, I don't know.

833
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: Man, those Norwegians they do a lot of weird things

834
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 2: out there. Dude, stuck in the snow all day long,

835
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: your brains are freezing. You never know what those weirdos

836
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: are up to. So all right, well we got to

837
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: keep we gotta keep an eye on this. By the way,

838
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: we got to get an update on the girlfriend and

839
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: was she angry he?

840
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: Did she hang with him?

841
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 6: Do we know?

842
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,479
Speaker 3: He did another interview in Norwegian just in the last

843
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: couple of days, all right, where he pretty much just said, yeah,

844
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 3: I've learned not to talk on Mike's again.

845
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

846
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: Good for him, Good for him.

847
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: At least there's a silver lining to you opening up

848
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: your mouth? All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to

849
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,080

00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: started channing the name of former Michigan State and current

859

871
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:13,520

876
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 7: I answered the question.

877
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 15: I could give a rat's ask about the other team

878
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 15: students section I coach UCLA. I don't care about Initigan

879
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 15: State students.

880
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 7: I mean, who cares.

881
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: Oh God, dude, here's right until dick off the ear.

882
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: I wish I was that reporter. I would have gone

883
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: off on him right in front of everybody. I would

884
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: have said, no, that's not raising my voice. This is

885
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: raising my voice, you jackass, because when you treat somebody

886
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: like that, this is the natural human reaction.

887
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: Ahole. I would have said that right to his fat

888
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: face in front of everybody. Are you kidding me?

889
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: I think most people might go they would do that,

890
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 3: but I think you actually would have done.

891
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: First of all, you ever see the movie Anger Management.

892
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: Remember that, man, Remember the plane scene when Sandler's on

893
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: the plane and the guy's like circuntries like I am

894
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: controlling them? Remember that, like, what are you talking? Nobody

895
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: raised their voice number one into like a two and

896
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: a half on a scale of one to what are

897
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: you talking about? And if there is a reason to

898
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: raise my voice is because you're an a hole and

899
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: just insulted me in front of everybody. Look, I'm sorry

900
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: that your team got their ass kicked. I'm sorry you

901
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: can't coach. I'm sorry that your team's falling, apartment. Don't

902
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 2: blame me, a little bald brick. That's what I would

903
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: have said to him.

904
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: I would have loved that. God, I hope to be

905
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: in a position like that one day. Dick Vane, Well

906
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: he's losing it though, down there, man, losing it.

907
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 3: And he was embarrassing by pulling his player off the

908
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: court for that right foul, I mean a technical.

909
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: By the way, was it tech?

910
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 3: I think, But I mean when you go back and

911
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 3: look at it again, it was a breakaway dunk. He

912
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: went back and tried to block the breakaway dunk. Yeah,

913
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 3: he fell, followed through and got his head a little bit,

914
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 3: But in no way was it egregious. In no way

915
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: were the ref's gonna throw this kid out of the game.

916
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: And he throws his own he embarrasses his own player

917
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: and says, get the hell out of here and go to.

918
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 4: The locker room.

919
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: Well, you can handle that kind of stuff if you're

920
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 2: winning games, but if you're losing games, forget about it.

921
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: And I just I don't know, man, I just I

922
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: think he's a world class jerk, who's not even a

923
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: good coach anymore. He's getting destroyed by other teams in

924
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 2: the Big Ten that he's supposed to be on the

925
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: same level with that UCLA. You're supposed to be on

926
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: the same level as Michigan State. And now the curiosity

927
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: is do they fire him? They owe a lot of money,

928
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 2: by the way, a ton of money at UCLA. But man,

929
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: he is just getting ready to You ever see the
