1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Mike Florio will join us in six minutes. We're talking

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: a little Husky hoops. In the three p thirty segment,

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: we'll have our fun with Audio and Petros pop Padakas.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: At four o'clock.

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: My chance to speak with Petros, which I don't get

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: very often, so we'll have a fun conversation, Jackson. I

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: have right here in my handy little MacBook, I have

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: the list of Super Bowl champions for the last basically

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: this century, okay, since since twenty twenty. And I didn't

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: really I probably wouldn't have no offhand. I would have

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: guessed I would have been close, but I probably wouldn't

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: have known offhand how many Super Bowls were actually one

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: back to back in the last twenty five years.

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: And I know that that should be pretty simple, right,

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: do you know the answer? It'd be two? Correct? You

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: know who it is?

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: The Patriots both times?

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Ah, No, the Patriots and the Chiefs. The Patriots, Patriots

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: and the.

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: Chief They didn't go back to back in that second No.

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: They went two out of three and three out of five.

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Three they did not go but they did not go

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: back to back.

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: And the Rams and Eagles ones were back to back.

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: Gotcha?

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: Gotcha, and then Kansas City, of course, in twenty twenty

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: three and twenty twenty.

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: Four went back to back.

29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: So I mean the bottom line is, folks, the numbers

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: are not in our favor. It has happened twice this

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: century that a team has gone back to back to

32
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Now, but every Super Bowl champion

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: tells a different story. I think we would all agree,

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: even if we took off our green and blue Seahawk

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: hat for a second, I think we all agree that

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are in much better shape right now than

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles were a year ago after winning that

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl.

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: For purely money reasons.

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, purely money reasons.

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: And also, you know, I don't think anybody looked at

42
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: that Eagles team as they saw like they saw everything

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: kind of come together for that Eagles team. But I

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: don't remember anybody starting to talk about longevity dynasty, you know,

45
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: that sort of thing with the Eagles team, similar to

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: the Rams team that won it in twenty twenty two.

47
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: They saw an older quarterback in Matthew Stafford. The Rams

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: took advantage of that same thing with the year before

49
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Tampa Bay. Nobody thought Tampa Bay was

50
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: going to rattle off for the next six Super Bowls

51
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: or go back to back, and it was just kind

52
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: of the right timing. The only time we saw a

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: situation whe were like, Okay, this team's gonna be here

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: for a while is after Kansas City won their first

55
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs Yeah, and the Chiefs were there for a while

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: by winning three of the next six. They basically lived

57
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship Game every single season for almost

58
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: a decade. So, but most of the other ones, Denver

59
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning, I mean that guy was done, like

60
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: completely done, but they found a way to win the

61
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Nobody, i mean everybody knew Denver was not

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: going to win another Super Bowl the next year. So

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: the good news for the Seahawks is we're much more

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: built to last yeah than most of those other teams.

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: The one thing that we don't have, obviously, that New

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: England and Kansas City had is a top three quarterback

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: of all time in history. We love ourselves some, Sam Donald,

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: you and I did the rankings last week.

69
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: We said, you know what we'll have to do. We

70
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 2: were gonna do them again.

71
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: We'll do him again this week at some point on

72
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: if we don't by putting the salary cap in and

73
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: where we'd rank Sam Donald in that panthem. But I

74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: think we had him ninth or something like that, nine

75
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: or ten last. I mean, so we got ourselves a

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: good quarterback. We certainly have ourselves a quarterback that can

77
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: obviously win a super Bowl because he did even though

78
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: he didn't play well, he played unbelievable in the game

79
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: that got us into the super Bowl. So we're in very,

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: very good shape. But the numbers say it's probably not

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But what's the number one biggest worry in

82
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: your mind, Jackson right now of the Seahawks not being

83
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: able to do what they did.

84
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 4: Against Sam Donald. Finally, the clock strikes midnight. The Slipper

85
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: doesn't fit in that he turns from Cinderella back. I

86
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: think he's gonna be a pumpkin next Dick.

87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: That's not what I said. You asked me the fear.

88
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of fears. I really don't.

89
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: I said it the day after the Super Bowl, and

90
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: I'll say it again, is that this team right now

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: is the clear odds on favorites to win the Super

92
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: Bowl next year, and they should be. They're the blatant

93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: favorite to come out of the NFC, and I don't

94
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: have that many fears. But the fear that I do

95
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: have is that Sam Donald turns back into a pumpkin.

96
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going I see where you're coming from. I

97
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: disagree on a couple of points. One, I think what

98
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is now is what Sam Donald is. I

99
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: think we have seen enough of Sam Donald over the

100
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: last two seasons to know that the quarterback from the

101
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Panthers and the Jets is completely in history. But we'll

102
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit more about that. Maybe you

103
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: and I can broach the subject again tomorrow and get

104
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more deeper into the conversation.

105
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: But right now we got our friend Mike Florio.

106
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: It's time for a weekly conversation with Pro Football Talks

107
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 5: Mike Florio, brought to you by Simply Seattle. Tired of

108
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 5: buying and repping the same old Seattle sports gear everyone

109
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 5: else has. For the best Storm, Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Rainiers, Sounders,

110
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: and not to mention, the largest Sonics collection in the world,

111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: check out simply Seattle dot com. Now with Mike Florio,

112
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 5: here's SOFTI and dick.

113
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Ah no softy today. So I get one on one.

114
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm at the top of the key, I got the

115
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: ball in my hands.

116
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: I get to go one on one with Mike Florio

117
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: from Pro Football Talk.

118
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 6: How are you, Mike, We're softie.

119
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: He's in MAUI. Oh jeez, you asked. That's exactly oh man, Yes, he's.

120
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 7: As during the scouting combine NFL offseason in full swing.

121
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 6: Who taps out? Yeah? Who Stucky does?

122
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: Yes he does, Yes, he does. But we are here

123
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: working hard for you, and you are here working hard

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: for us.

125
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Let's just start the conversation with you where I left

126
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: it off with Jackson. Where should the Seahawks fan have

127
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: the biggest worry right now in their ability to either

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl next year or go to a

129
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl next year?

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 7: New offensive coordinator from outside the building, Brian Floury. What

131
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 7: kind of continuity is there going to be within the offense?

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 7: And you couple that with the possibility that Kenneth Walker.

133
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 6: The third will be gone.

134
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 7: We don't know what's going to happen. We don't know

135
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 7: if he's going to be tagged. The reports are he

136
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 7: likely won't be. We've talked over the past couple of

137
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 7: days with both TM John Schneider and coach Mike McDonald

138
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 7: here in Indianapolis. There's been no indication that they are

139
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 7: going to tag him. So if he wants to go,

140
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 7: and someone wants the Super Bowl MVP and puts a

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 7: price on him more than the Seahawks will and he

142
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 7: chooses to take it, Walker's.

143
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 6: Going to be gone.

144
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 7: What happens with the running game without Kenneth Walker? The third,

145
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 7: especially when we considered the Zach Charbonay had his ACL

146
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 7: repair surgery late last week. Who's going to be carrying

147
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 7: the ball? Can they rely upon that person to get

148
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 7: it done? If the running game isn't there, it makes

149
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 7: it harder for the rest of the offense to operate

150
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 7: the way that it has, So that would be the worry.

151
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 6: New offensive coordinator.

152
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 7: Changes to the system, changes to the running back position,

153
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 7: Sharbonay recovering from the torn ACL. Can they have the

154
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 7: kind of running game that sets up the play action

155
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 7: the deep shots that we saw from Sam Darnold last year.

156
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 7: That would be the big concern the defense, No concern

157
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 7: the offense. And this is one of the byproducts of

158
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 7: being the Super Bowl champion. You lose your coordinator, and

159
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 7: you're basically starting over with a hire from the outside.

160
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Was the Javonte Williams contract a comp that we can

161
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: use and if so, was it good news or bad

162
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: news for Seahawks fans that want walk her back?

163
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 7: Well, other teams will try to use it as accomparable

164
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 7: because three years, twenty four million dollars, it's eight million dollars,

165
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 7: assuming that the reported number is the real number.

166
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 6: A lot of times the.

167
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 7: Number that's reported has a little bit of fluff in it.

168
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 7: Some incentives or other payments that aren't part of the

169
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 7: base package get counted toward it to get it up

170
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 7: to an eight million.

171
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 6: Dollars per year average.

172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 7: But you look at Javonte Williams and say, well, okay,

173
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 7: he had twelve hundred rushing yards. Is he a guy

174
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 7: who's a threat to take it to the house anytime

175
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 7: he touches the ball?

176
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 6: Does he have that speed?

177
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 7: Does he have the ability to contribute in the passing game?

178
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 7: And you know, the Cowboys were in a position where

179
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 7: they were able to squeeze him a little bit. They

180
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 7: like to negotiate directly with the player. I think they did,

181
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 7: and I think their hammer was, Hey, if you don't

182
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 7: do this deal. We'll just go sign another second tier,

183
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 7: second wave free agent for one year three four five million,

184
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 7: like they did with Williams last year and replaced him

185
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 7: that way. So that's going to be part of the

186
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 7: negotiation when it comes to Walker. And the reality is

187
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 7: it doesn't matter because if someone else wants to pay

188
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 7: him more than the Seahawks will, he'll have the ability

189
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 7: to walk away unless they tag him. But the fact

190
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 7: that they aren't saying they're going to tag him means

191
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 7: that they regard fourteen million as way too high.

192
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 6: And who knows what the right number is, and we're

193
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 6: gonna find out.

194
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 7: And at the end of the day, the player has

195
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 7: to decide what's right for him. Is staying right for him,

196
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 7: is leaving right for him. But we've seen this a

197
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 7: few times in the free agency era where the Super

198
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 7: Bowl MVP becomes a free agent and walks away. Desmond

199
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 7: Howard did it, Larry Brown did it, and Dexter Jackson

200
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 7: did it.

201
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 6: All since Super Bowl thirty one.

202
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: Mike, we always keep a watchful eye on the division

203
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: rivals of the forty nine ers going to lose Trent Williams.

204
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 6: I don't know whether that's the case. Yet here's the reality.

205
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 7: Someone probably Trent Williams agent, leaked to Adam Schefter yesterday

206
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 7: afternoon as John Lynch, the GM of the forty nine ers,

207
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 7: was preparing to head to the podium that there's a

208
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 7: content tracked impass and Schefter mentioned the thirty eight.

209
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 6: Million dollar cap number.

210
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 7: The reality is Williams is due to make thirty two

211
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 7: million in cash this year. The market's twenty eight million

212
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 7: for tackles. Williams is gonna be thirty eight later this year,

213
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 7: and he's got a ten million dollar payment non guaranteed

214
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 7: that he is due on April one, So the forty

215
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 7: nine ers have some time to let things play out,

216
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 7: let things percolate. They could cut Williams right before April

217
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 7: one if they choose to, and I think another team

218
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 7: would find the money in the cap space at that

219
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 7: point to sign him.

220
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 6: I think the idea was.

221
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 7: To put a little pressure on the forty nine ers

222
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 7: try to get this done. They don't want to pay

223
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 7: him thirty two. It wouldn't be an issue. If they

224
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 7: were happy to pay him thirty two, it never would

225
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 7: have come up. They're trying to come up with a solution,

226
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 7: not reduce the cap number. They want to reduce the

227
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 7: cash number. The question is what's the magic number? And

228
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 7: by putting it out there, it's basically an invitation to

229
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 7: any other team that's here in Indy, and they're all

230
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 7: here to tamper and to make an offer. And then

231
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 7: Trent Williams compares through his agent what another team will

232
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 7: offer with what the forty nine ers are going to offer.

233
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 7: And then when it's time for Williams and his agent

234
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 7: to get the forty nine Ers the final answer, they'll

235
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 7: know what's behind door number two. You're not supposed to

236
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 7: know what's behind door number two, but teams have a

237
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 7: way of making that known to the agent of a

238
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 7: player who's facing one of those ultimatums.

239
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: With the success of guys like Daniel Jones and Sam

240
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Donald that have gone from scrap heap to playing very well,

241
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: is Malik Willis the next candidate for that, I'm seeing

242
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: where he could make up to thirty million dollars a year.

243
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: My goodness, is that is that accurate?

244
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 6: Well?

245
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 7: And it's not an apple to apple comparison to guys

246
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 7: like Jones and Donald. Malik Willis is a guy who

247
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 7: at one point was the betting favorite to be the

248
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 7: first quarterback taken in the draft. In twenty twenty two,

249
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 7: he felt around three behind both Kenny Pickett and Desmond Ritter.

250
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: In Tennessee. It never really worked out.

251
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 7: Starting into his third year, he was buried on the

252
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 7: depth chart. In late August, he was traded to the

253
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 7: Packers for a seventh round pick. When he has played

254
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 7: in Green Bay, he's got six starts, six touchdown passes

255
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 7: non receptions, three rushing touchdowns, a Patcher rating north of

256
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 7: one thirty four, completion percentage north of seventy five yards

257
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 7: per attempt in excess of ten. He's been spectacular, but

258
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 7: it's a limited sample size.

259
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 6: The question is, is there's a team out.

260
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 7: There that looks at what he's done in limited work

261
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 7: and extrapolates that out to a full season and says,

262
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 7: we're gonna pay this guy. And if you get multiple

263
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 7: teams in the mix, you can drive the number up.

264
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 6: Now, at a certain.

265
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 7: Point, I think it's in Elik Willis's best interest to

266
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 7: take a shorter term deal and prove himself and then

267
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 7: cash in. That's going to be part of the balancing act.

268
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 7: The team's gonna want to do a longer term deal

269
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 7: in case it works out, because if it doesn't, just

270
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 7: tear it up and you move on. You look at

271
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 7: what Sam Darnold got last year coming off of fourteen

272
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 7: wins with the Vikings, three years, one hundred point five million,

273
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 7: thirty three point five million per year. It's hard to

274
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 7: imagine Willis getting thirty. But it all comes down to

275
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 7: how many teams want him, whether or not teams believe

276
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 7: he can be the long term answer. And you just

277
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 7: look around the league where the connections are. The Dolphins

278
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 7: are going to move on from t a tongue a

279
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 7: loo if they can structure a deal that gives Willis

280
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 7: that kind of twenty five to thirty million dollars.

281
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 6: Apy would they do it?

282
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 7: Their head coach knows him, their GM knows him from

283
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 7: the last two years in Green Bay. You've got Matt

284
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 7: Lafour the head coach of the Packers. His brother's now

285
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 7: the head coach of the Cardinals. They're going to be

286
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 7: looking for a quarterback. So there's teams out there that

287
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 7: are going to be evaluating Willis.

288
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 6: Because I'm not.

289
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 7: Saying he's going to be a franchise quarterback, but based

290
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 7: on what we've seen it's a hell of a lot

291
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 7: more evidence than we have for a guy who's being drafted.

292
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 7: We don't know whether a guy who's being drafted can

293
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 7: play in the NFL. We know Willis can. The question

294
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 7: is can you do it on a full season basis?

295
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 7: And the question becomes which team is willing to make

296
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 7: the investment?

297
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 6: What's the right number?

298
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 7: But he's gonna get paid, the question is how much

299
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 7: and by whom.

300
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's got a seven four million dollars cap hit.

301
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that is going to be the case.

302
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: So is it a restructure? Is it a kicking can

303
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: down the road? Do they rip it up and give

304
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: him a new deal? What's Baltimore do well?

305
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 7: Steve Ashatty, the owner of the team, said in the

306
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 7: press conference following the firing of former head coach John Harbaugh.

307
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 7: They'd like to work out an extension before the start

308
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 7: of free agency. If not, they'll exercise their prerogative under

309
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 7: his existing contract to restructure kick the can reduce the

310
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 7: cap number. First question is will the Ravens and Lamar

311
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 7: Jackson come together in the short term and do a

312
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 7: deal that would secure his future with the Baltimore Ravens

313
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 7: because he's got littlemate power here. Two more years and

314
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 7: he can walk away and two years. On one hand,

315
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 7: it's a lifetime in the NFL.

316
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 6: On the other hand, it goes by in the blink of.

317
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 7: An eye and he'll be a free agent. Twenty twenty eight,

318
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 7: he'll be a free agent. He can go anywhere he wants.

319
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 7: If he doesn't do a new deal, they're going to

320
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 7: have to entice him to do a new deal. And

321
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 7: he's been wanting a new deal for the last year,

322
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 7: so the market changed. He's a two time MVP. His

323
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 7: average is fifty two point five. The top of the

324
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 7: market technically is sixty, although if you look at the

325
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 7: new money average on the Josh Allen contract it's a

326
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 7: lot higher than that. I think something in the range

327
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 7: is sixty to sixty two would get Lamar Jackson done,

328
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 7: and I've worked out the numbers. It's a three year

329
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 7: extension on the current two year deal. He'll give him

330
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 7: a new five year contract. But if he wants, he

331
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 7: can just make one hundred and four million over the

332
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 7: next two years and walk away. It's going to be

333
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 7: up to him one way or the other. Of the

334
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 7: Ravens are going to reduce that cap number. It's whether

335
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 7: they wave a magic wand and kick the can or

336
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 7: whether it's they work out a new contract. It pays

337
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 7: them at the top of the market.

338
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of the Ravens, did we find out yesterday

339
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: from Troy Vincent that maybe the wrong team won the

340
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: NFC North and the Ravens should have been the victors.

341
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 7: Hey, this is something that I've been banging on ever

342
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 7: since it happened. It was December seven, Week fourteen. There

343
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 7: were three highly controversial calls in the Steelers Ravens game.

344
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 6: One. The league admitted the next day that it was incorrect.

345
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 7: It was an unnecessary roughnance call on a leverage issue

346
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 7: with a field goal attempt where a flag was thrown

347
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 7: and it shouldn't have been. Three points came off the board.

348
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 7: The Steelers then scored seven. On the next play. There

349
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 7: was an interception by the Ravens on a path that

350
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 7: was batted caught by Aaron Rodgers. He lost it while

351
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 7: he went to the ground. The ball came out, the

352
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 7: Ravens caught it. They overturned it to a catch and

353
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 7: that's the one that really came in to focus. After

354
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 7: the Bills Broncos playoff game. Because under the reasoning that

355
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 7: the league gave in defending the decision to take the

356
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 7: interception off the board and make it a catch, you

357
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 7: apply that reasoning to the Brandon Cooks play from that

358
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 7: playoff game. It should have been a catch by Brandon

359
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 7: Cooks because he's going to the ground, but he's down

360
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 7: by contact, so it doesn't matter if he loses the

361
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 7: ball if he's down by contact. The league admitted that

362
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 7: was incorrect to overturn the interception and call it a catch, So.

363
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 6: That that settles the issue of Bill's Broncos. We have harmony.

364
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 6: Now there wasn't harmony.

365
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 7: You couldn't reconcile it too by admitting that we've reckoned.

366
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 7: But the Ravens now look at it and say, well,

367
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 7: we got screwed out of that possession, right, And you

368
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 7: throw on top of it the Isaiah likely touchdown that

369
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 7: was taken off the board, and you can make the

370
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 7: argument the Ravens should have won that game, and if

371
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 7: they had, they may have been likely would have been

372
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 7: the AFT North champions, and maybe John Harbod is still

373
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 7: the head coach of the Ravens.

374
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, the slippery slope that we go down, Mike, always

375
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: a pleasure.

376
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you next week, Seeyboddy, you bet, Mike.

377
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Florio Pro football talk, all right, when we come back,

378
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the the forgotten team in

379
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: Seattle and the Washington Husky basketball team has been forgotten

380
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: for a long long time for obvious reasons. And I'm

381
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: I see a difference in this team and it shouldn't

382
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: be as forgotten this year as it been in the past.

383
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 2: But there's still some.

384
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: Wards and we'll talk about those what those warts are,

385
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: but we'll also talk about what's right about the Husky

386
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: basketball team. Next on ninety three point three KJRFM.

387
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 8: From the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio.

388
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: Now back to SOFTI on your home for the Huskies.

389
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 8: Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three point

390
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 8: three kJ.

391
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 7: R FM, Welcome back.

392
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: About an hour left of the big Show before kracking Hockey,

393
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: we turned things over to Michael Benton. Does the Kraken

394
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: try to go for their seventh win in their last

395
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: nine games? We kind of forget how hot they were

396
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: because it was a long time ago when they played

397
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: their last game, but they were playing very, very good

398
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: hockey going into the going into the break, and I'm

399
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of thinking that it was good timing because the

400
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: way the Kraken season has gone Jackson, It's been like

401
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: a great two weeks followed by a horrible two weeks

402
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: followed by a great two weeks. So we had our

403
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: great two weeks and then we had the break, and

404
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: I think that eliminated the horrible two week stretch. We

405
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: just erased it, I hope, So now we're gonna start

406
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: another great stretch.

407
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: I'm what I'm most interested with the Kraken right now

408
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: is how much momentum do they and frankly, the whole

409
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: NHL get from Team USA has went on Sunday.

410
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: Do you the viewership know?

411
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: Is the listeners today and tomorrow too with the same

412
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 4: time of game of a four to thirty pre five

413
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 4: o'clock face off, I mean, and the overall fans like,

414
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to take in more crack and hockey now

415
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: because I'm in the hockey mood and I think that

416
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: probably a lot of people around the country are the same.

417
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: No, I think so, And I'm, like I mentioned to

418
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: Ian in the last hour, I'm I'm totally ready to watch.

419
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch way more cracking hockey in March in

420
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: April than I did and listen to it on the

421
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: air as well with with our guy Evert Fitzhugh. Well,

422
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: we had a different game on yesterday on our air,

423
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: Jackson at three point thirty that preempted the show.

424
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: Was so bad, too bad, too bad, the show was preempted.

425
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: I got a chance to instead to watch and listen

426
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: to some Husky basketball yesterday and they got to win

427
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: at Rutgers. And this has been a very, very difficult

428
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: season for Danny Sprinkle, and I wanted to play this

429
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: clip when he was on postgame with Jason and Tony

430
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: yesterday just to kind of give you a sense of

431
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: the exhausted Danny Sprinkle, somewhat beliegued Danny Sprinkle, and yet

432
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: still very proud Danny Sprinkle of his basketball team.

433
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 9: I don't even know if our fans, well, first I

434
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 9: know they don't know what we've been through. They just don't,

435
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 9: Like you can't unless you've been on every trip like

436
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 9: you guys have, and you've seen the travel, the schedule,

437
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 9: the environments we've had to play in, and the injuries

438
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 9: and just the stuff that we're still young I mean,

439
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 9: we are, like, it's crazy that these guys, but I

440
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 9: think they're so young. That's why they just coming back

441
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 9: with a great attitude every day. They don't even know

442
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 9: any better, they really don't. And I know they're exhausted

443
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 9: and it's showed in some games. And you know, yeah,

444
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 9: we disappointed with the Penn State and the and the

445
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 9: Maryland losses that you know, they were close games. But yeah,

446
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 9: but like you can't. You can't tell me our guys

447
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 9: like they don't care and they're not giving the effort. Man,

448
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 9: they just they just are and it's we're gonna have

449
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 9: days where we're running in quick sand.

450
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: But I couldn't tell you.

451
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: I can't tell you how proud I am with this team.

452
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: I think it'd be.

453
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: Very easy for people to just kind of look at

454
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: the box scores, look at the record and then hear

455
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: it cut like that from Danny Sprinkle and say excuses, excuses,

456
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: particularly because it's the Husky basketball team that's been bad

457
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: for a majority of the last fifteen years. So let

458
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: me just present some facts to you and then you

459
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: can decide whether you think what Danny Sprinkle just said

460
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: is just a bunch of excuses. Or whether you think

461
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: it's legitimate reasons and also reason for optimism for the

462
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: future of Danny Sprinkle basketball at Washington. The Huskies have

463
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: lost over ninety games to injury this season they have

464
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: played They played without Frank Kepnan yesterday, so they have

465
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: had two players on their entire roster available for every

466
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: game this season, Kamari Peterson and Zoom Diallo.

467
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: Those are the only.

468
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Two players that have played every single game this season.

469
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: And if you look at this year, you would see

470
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: the record overall and you'd be like, Okay, who cares

471
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: like they're not even close to good enough to go

472
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: to the NCAA turn even if they had everybody healthy.

473
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: Well, let me also present these facts to you.

474
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: How would this season be different if they could close

475
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: out just a couple of close Big Ten games. They

476
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: are zero to four in conference games decided by four

477
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: or less. If two go the other way, they have

478
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: almost the exact resume as Indiana, and right now, Indiana

479
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: sits squarely in the bubble forty in the net ranking

480
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: and bracketology estimates. Indiana's got a sixty percent chance to

481
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: make the NCAA tournament. It's even if you take if

482
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: you flip the two UCLA games because UCLA is a

483
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: good team, an NCAA tournament team. And here's what happened

484
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: in the two UCLA games. The first game against UCLA

485
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: was very very beginning of the season. Husky's had a

486
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: great comeback at all the momentum at the end of

487
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: the game and zoom Diallo missed a three at the

488
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: buzzer that would have won the game. There's one that's

489
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: a buzzer beater three that zoom Diallo had at the

490
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: at the horn that was missed.

491
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 2: The other game against UCLA, which was much more recently.

492
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: They led the almost the entire first thirty minutes of

493
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: the game, controlled the game, gave it up and lost

494
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: by four. Having said all that, even though they're zero

495
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 1: to four in all those games, even though they didn't

496
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: win all those games, they are forty eighth in KEMPALM.

497
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: Last year there were one to four. The last time

498
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: this team was four forty eighth was.

499
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: Two thy nineteen, which is the last time they made

500
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament, and they were a nine seed at

501
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: forty eighth in KEMPOM in twenty nineteen. The last time

502
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Jackson they finished higher than forty eighth, which is where

503
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: they are right now, and they have a fairly doable

504
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: schedule for the rest of the season, so they get

505
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: very well finish higher than forty eight. The last time

506
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: they finished higher than forty eighth than KEMPOM was fifteen

507
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: years ago. Jeez, this is the best Husky season, arguably

508
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: in fifteen years now. That's not saying a ton because

509
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: they've had a lot of really bad seasons through that.

510
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: But what we are missing here by not watching and

511
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: not listening to Husky basketball this season, we are missing

512
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to see a top two or three player

513
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: in Husky basketball this century in Hanna Seimack, at least

514
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years. I mean, Brandon Roy's number one.

515
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: You can make an argument that Hanna Steinbacher is number two.

516
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 4: All right, So let's let's take your facts there, and okay,

517
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: let's approach it two different ways, all right. Let me

518
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 4: first approach it by mister, I don't want to hear

519
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 4: about facts.

520
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: I just want to run with my opinions, okay.

521
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 4: And like to be fair, I think that there's a

522
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 4: lot of Husky basketball fans and a lot of Seattle

523
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: sports fans who may have that take, and I don't. Frankly,

524
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: because of the last fifteen years, Dick, I ain't gonna

525
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: be mad at them at all for having that turn.

526
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: They are sure fully entitled.

527
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have five NCAA tournaments in a row and

528
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: had this type of injury season.

529
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 2: Never be like, oh hey, just a throwaway season.

530
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: So let me first take that personality, and they're probably

531
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: saying themselves, Okay, ninety games missed. That does seem like

532
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: a lot. But I wonder how that compares to other teams.

533
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 4: We had Mike Decorsi on Monday. He was talking about

534
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 4: how for all West Coast teams, it's the injury bug

535
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: is hitting the West Coast teams in the Big ten,

536
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 4: So it's a it's a definitely a larger problem. The

537
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 4: other thought is this is not the second year where

538
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 4: Danny Sprinkle's gonna miss the turn, and are we really

539
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 4: sure that's the right guy in charge? When yes, we

540
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 4: see what he did at the other levels, but he

541
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: just hasn't proved to be a winner at the Big tenel.

542
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: I think there's there's probably a few other you know,

543
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 4: cherry picking arguments, you know, trying to pick you know,

544
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 4: I need a lot of a haystack and find the

545
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: arguments against, and I think that's fair.

546
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: The other side of it.

547
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 4: Is kind of going in line with where you're kind

548
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: of stepping in right here, which is that this guy

549
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: Sprinkle arrived mid cycle last year, before last season and

550
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: had to revamp a pretty much torn down program.

551
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: Oh he had to scramble. Yeah, total scrambled.

552
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: So last year he throwed out the window. Absolutely.

553
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: This is the first year he's had his team together

554
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 4: the way he wants it to be built, and it's

555
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: been completely blown to bits by these injuries. Everything he

556
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: had planned has gone out the window. So I guess

557
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: for me, as somewhere kind of in between, I'm saying

558
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 4: to myself, okay, A, I hate blaming injuries because as

559
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: a as a Sounder broadcaster and as a Sounder fan,

560
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 4: I've been blaming injuries for years and I get so

561
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: tired of blaming your jies.

562
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 3: But the realities that do happen.

563
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: I want to see a can Danny Sprinkle have a

564
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 4: team like he assembled his guys stay healthy and then

565
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 4: let me see if he can do it. But if

566
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 4: next season, if we continue to have injuries here there,

567
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: maybe it's not as bad as this year, but we

568
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: still aren't a tournament team. Then it's only fair to

569
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 4: ask the questions if he's the right guy. But when

570
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 4: you when you throw out the Ken Pump stat like

571
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 4: he clearly he's doing something right. Yeah, because there's the

572
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: makings of a good unit is there, but it does

573
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 4: take time and it does take health for it to

574
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 4: call come together.

575
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: No, I think that's totally fair, and I think we can.

576
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: We can go into next season saying, hey, you had

577
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: a year where you where you totally revamped the roster.

578
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: Then you had a year where you were just ravaged

579
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: by injury. Okay, we can't have an excuse in twenty

580
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: twenty sixteens.

581
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: Like you just you just can't.

582
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: So, and you're gonna have a lot of these guys back,

583
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: so you don't even have a new rossness. You're still right,

584
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: you said for your star, but you don't. You'll have

585
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys back. So I think I

586
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: think everything you say is fair. But I think it's

587
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: gonna watch the last few games, make your own interpretations.

588
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: Watch Debt Left Shrimp get honored this weekend, this Saturday,

Speaker 1: Van Gunny. I love Stan Van Gunny. We've had him

608
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: on numerous times. Very very funny. Guy joined Fan Duels

609
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: Run It Back show with Chandler Parsons yesterday and talked

610
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: about coaching Dwight Howard in Orlando for five years.

611
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 10: My last question during that time in that team, I

612
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 10: got an inside source, and I need you to confirm

613
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 10: this if it's sure.

614
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: I said.

615
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 10: You used to get pissed at Dwight Howard during her

616
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 10: pregame speeches because he would just constantly fart while you're

617
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 10: trying to get the guys going confirm or denying.

618
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 11: Coach, you know, I would confirm actual.

619
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: I knew if was Dwight.

620
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 3: I knew it was true, disgusting and awesome.

621
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 11: White could goofer real and have fun. And I remember

622
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 11: having a talk with him once and I said, Dwight,

623
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 11: I need you to be more serious, you know, when

624
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 11: we're preparing And he said, Stan, I've got it all.

625
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 11: I know what you're saying.

626
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 6: I said, and he did.

627
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 11: Dwight's did by far the smartest big guy I've ever coached,

628
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 11: I mean, and it was part of his greatness. And

629
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 11: I said, no, no, I know you've got it, but

630
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 11: then you're distracting these other guys.

631
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 12: Did more on.

632
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 11: What's going on, and Dwight understood that things started to change.

633
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 11: But you know, he was just a fun loving guy.

634
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: Been in that situation before.

635
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: Jackson, Uh not as a youth coach, but a number

636
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: of times as a high school coach, including one maybe

637
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: just a month.

638
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: Ago, where breakdown nothin.

639
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: Classic high schoolers.

640
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: Yes, hard to interrupt me. Not before the game, not

641
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: even game day. It's never happened to me before, during,

642
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: or after a game.

643
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: But in practice, practice is over here, come on around,

644
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: all right, good practice today, there's what we did. Blah

645
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: blah blah, here we go and you just get a

646
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: and then of course it's just the everyone's lost like that,

647
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: it's giggles, it's look around, who did that?

648
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: And it's just like.

649
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 4: I'd also say, like stay Van Gundy is inherently a

650
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 4: funny human being. He's funny and like he probably brings

651
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: that a little bit on him selly like the locker

652
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: it's clearly he probably develops fun, energetic, laughable locker rooms.

653
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: So Dwight Howard, well done, sir. There are certain coaches

654
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: you would not want to release a flatulence in front.

655
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: Hop is probably number one. Probably not way Bob Knight. Bob,

656
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's definite Mike Krzyzewski probably don't want it. Yeah,

657
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: there's a there's a lot damn man getting you very

658
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: low down on those lists, as evidently as Dick Famee

659
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: very low down that list on the all right, Jackson,

660
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: Hey Jackson, did you hear that?

661
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 12: Last night?

662
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: In college basketball? Todd rag Duke was leading No.

663
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: Ninety six to fifty five with three minutes left to

664
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: go in the game. Kevin Brown and Corey Alexander at

665
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: the call for ESPN and shared some information on the

666
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: historic nature of the blowout.

667
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 13: Notre Dame down forty four at home. This is on

668
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 13: track not the micro. Shrewsbury wants to see this to

669
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 13: be Notre Dame's largest home loss since the fourth game

670
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 13: in Notre Dame men's basketball history against the Chicago First Regiment.

671
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: Sixty four to eight. What's the final score?

672
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 3: Why are you getting so excited?

673
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 6: Twenty nine eighty ninety eight.

674
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: Why are you getting so excited?

675
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: This Chicago First Regiment?

676
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: Apparently they had some hoopers on that squad eighteen ninety eight,

677
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: eighteen ninety.

678
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: Eight, Jackson, anytime Notre Dame can get clowned in any

679
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: sport is a good addition. Generally agree with that absolutely,

680
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: And to add injury to insult, they mentioned coach Shrewsbury

681
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: there of Notre Dame. He hurt his achilles during the game,

682
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: and so we had to have us he had to

683
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: have a walking boot on for the second half of

684
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: the games. I mean, not only does he get his

685
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: ass kicked by almost fifty, he might have a torn achilles.

686
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: That's a bad day for Notre Dame, and that's a

687
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: good day for the rest of us that don't like

688
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Hey, Jackson, do you hear that?

689
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 6: Oh?

690
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: We gotta go?

691
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: Oh we got it. Oh yeah, we do, we gotta go.

714
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: Beautiful Petros, where were you Sunday morning? Were you sleeping

715
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: in your bed? You were asleep in your bed.

716
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 12: And went up to go to the bathroom. Yeah, check

717
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 12: the phone, and it said it was tied. And I

718
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 12: said to my myself, Wow, that's going to be a

719
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 12: real nutcutter. And then I went back to street. And

720
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 12: then I woke up and I watched You know, YouTube

721
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 12: is just amazing the way they put the highlights together,

722
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 12: and it really really saves time and emotional effort. So

723
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 12: I watched it on YouTube and I was able to

724
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 12: absorb it and discuss it with some efficiency on the air,

725
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 12: though I'm not a hockey expert, and that was that,

726
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 12: but it was great. It was a great moment and

727
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 12: all that and a lot of fun for everybody. And

728
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 12: I think easy to root for those guys, no doubt

729
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 12: about it. And it's kind of interesting to watch guys

730
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 12: get their teeth knocked out for their country and then

731
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 12: just go right back and play in the NHL. And

732
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 12: the flip side of that is the NBA and the

733
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 12: load management era and a guy at Kansas who doesn't

734
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 12: want to play letting himself out of the first in

735
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 12: the draft. You kind of juxtapose those two things. But

736
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 12: I think it goes down to something that you know

737
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 12: well covering the sport and I only know peripherally. I mean,

738
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 12: the Kings have won I think it's three championships, three

739
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 12: Stanley Cups since I have been doing media in LA.

740
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 12: And before that, there was that heartbreaking loss against Gosh,

741
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 12: the Canadians with Wayne Gretzky and Marty mcsorley's stick got

742
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 12: they got a penalty because the stick was bent to

743
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 12: my you know, some big controversy that people talk about

744
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 12: to this day, or they did in LA. And just

745
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 12: like you guys used to with the Seahawks before they

746
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 12: won their first title, right, we were so close in

747
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 12: whatever year if it wasn't for that holding penalty against

748
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 12: the Steelers and now, and that's true, that holding penalty

749
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 12: was on my best friend who's passed away since. But

750
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 12: the the linebacker for the Steeler that was rushing on

751
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 12: that play. But it's kind of interesting because those terrible memories,

752
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 12: you know, Bill Buckner, a lot of that stuff just

753
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 12: kind of fades away into memory because these teams end

754
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 12: up winning championships. But I do remember that being the

755
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 12: thing in La Forever was, oh my god, if that

756
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 12: one thing didn't happen, and then they won. It feels

757
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 12: like an abundance of titles since then. And it's not

758
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 12: that important. But dealing with hockey people and covering the

759
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 12: sport of hockey is a totally different animal from the other.

760
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 12: I guess you would say Big three or popular sport.

761
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 12: I mean everybody, Well, I would say that everybody's got

762
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 12: their nuances, right, Baseball players and a lot of things

763
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 12: have kind of evened out because they're all kids and

764
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 12: they're all on the Internet and stuff like that. Like

765
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 12: some of the nuances of our youth, Like the fact

766
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 12: that all the baseball players, no matter who they were,

767
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 12: where they were from, they were all indoctrinated into daytime television.

768
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 12: That used to be a thing for like thirty years.

769
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 6: Right.

770
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 12: Like if you ran up on John Olerud and asked

771
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 12: him about days of our lives, he'd probably go off

772
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 12: because that was like something that they were.

773
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: Hit in the clubhouse before the game.

774
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 12: That's yeah, well there we're sitting around all day in

775
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 12: town playing minor league baseball.

776
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 9: You know.

777
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 12: Now the Internet and video games and all those different

778
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 12: things they kind of even things up. Football players were

779
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 12: always a certain kind of way. I mean, it's much

780
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 12: more of a black culture. So you're doing things that

781
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 12: are popular like that. Like you know, there's not a

782
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 12: lot of baseball teams that would gather around a guy

783
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 12: with a ghetto blaster while he danced, But we did

784
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 12: that all the time by some guy from Saint Louis

785
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 12: on our team just dance around. That's how bored we were.

786
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 12: I mean, we didn't have the internet, you know what

787
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 12: I mean. So anyway, what I'm saying is with all

788
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 12: these different sports, talking to these people is one thing.

789
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 12: Hockey people are by far by far the best people

790
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 12: to deal with in sports. They're the most honest, They

791
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 12: answer the questions the most I think thoughtfully, and I

792
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 12: believe it's because of their junior's programs and the stuff

793
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 12: like that. Most of them. If you're a great hockey player,

794
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 12: if you're thirteen years old, you're gone right from your parents' house.

795
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: You become an adult very quickly.

796
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, you're living in somebody else's house and it's yes, sir,

797
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 12: yes ma'am. And there's a little bit of that in

798
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 12: baseball with the summer would bat leagues and stuff, but

799
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 12: not in the same regard. So what I'm saying is

800
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 12: hockey people, even though I don't understand the sport well

801
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 12: and don't cover it closely, are always the easiest to

802
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 12: root for. And Canadians used to be really easy to

803
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 12: root for. But they seem kind of bitter in this loss.

804
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: But whatever, Oh well, and there's a bit of you know,

805
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of a bit sad on the hockey side

806
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: of things, not on the baseball side of things. That

807
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 1: they also lost the World Series by literally one half

808
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: of an inch. They had those two you know, I've

809
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: seen those those two photos juxtaposed in the same tweet

810
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: with the play at the plate and then also the

811
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: wide open back of the net for Canada that they

812
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: didn't end up end up getting and it could have

813
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: been much much different.

814
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: Baseball's is different because he's it's the US of sports.

815
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 6: You know what.

816
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 12: We were just talking about it. You're right, it's their sport, and.

817
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: We beat him at their sport.

818
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: It's like our fifth sport man and and they he

819
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: couldn't beat us at their best sport.

820
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: And it just brings a nation man.

821
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 12: Like they dominated the game particulars of the game, but

822
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 12: the part where you win or lose, they didn't obviously,

823
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 12: and that makes people more better if you think dick

824
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 12: of Canada as America's hat. Okay, think of these things

825
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 12: that have happened, the hockey thing, the baseball thing. It's

826
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 12: like one of those scenes in the movie where Cowboy

827
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 12: gets his hat shut off and looks all surprised, like, whoa,

828
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 12: that's that's what's happened to Canada. In fact, we were

829
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 12: just talking about it. One of the Dodger that one

830
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 12: of the guys that travels with the Dodgers radio crew

831
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 12: is here today and he was there in Canada when

832
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 12: they lost Game seven, and we had a guy on

833
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 12: the MLB network. Guy, he's a tall guy, Amsinger. I

834
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 12: remember that guy he's on. He was there. He described this. Yeah,

835
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 12: Greg Amsing, it's a pretty good interview. We had him

836
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 12: on and he described this to us as well, and

837
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 12: they said, like, you cannot imagine the horror in that

838
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 12: stadium when the Dodgers won, Like it was so quiet,

839
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 12: it was like the country just got punched in the gut.

840
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 12: You could hear the Dodgers screaming and yelling in ecstasy

841
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 12: almost completely clearly on the pictures mound and celebrating the

842
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 12: World Series. And you could hear grown men like weeping

843
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 12: babies crying in the stand Like you could really feel

844
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 12: that absolute dejection in that moment. And I can't imagine

845
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 12: this is any better with the women the men, as

846
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 12: you said. And then of course, uh the World Series,

847
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 12: which you guys, I think took some pride in.

848
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: Oh, we were drinking the tears.

849
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: We were drinking the Blue Jay fans tears after that game.

850
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 1: And I cannot think of a World Series that more.

851
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: Mariner fans were so one sided on. We were all

852
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 1: Dodger blue because we've found out we kind of already

853
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: knew that Blue Jay fans were d bags. We've found

854
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: out over the two weeks prior to the World Series

855
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: how big of d bags blue Jay fans were.

856
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, I and that surprised me a little bit too,

857
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 12: because you know, you listen to the Blue Jay song

858
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 12: and it's so nice.

859
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 6: You ever heard that song?

860
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: I have Blue Jay, Let's play ball?

861
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 12: And you know, you think the Canadians is very benign people,

862
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 12: but apparently not the case when it comes to sports.

863
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was.

864
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 12: It was a fun It was a fun, unifying moment,

865
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 12: I suppose at a time of trouble, in.

866
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: A time of truel And speaking of time and trouble,

867
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how how where you stand on talking

868
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: politics on your air when it intersects with sports, But

869
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: certainly politics and sports have intersected this week without question,

870
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: with the criticism of the team that the team took

871
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: for you know, agreeing to go to the State of

872
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: the Union address and the convert you know, laughing at

873
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the in the locker room. Where did

874
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: you have you addressed that on the air And where

875
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: do you stand with all that criticiz?

876
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: I don't care.

877
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 12: I mean the Dodgers go to the White House and

878
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 12: somebody from the La Times always writes an article and

879
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 12: tries to shame them. And you know, the media is

880
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 12: a certain kind of way, so if it goes the

881
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 12: other way around, it doesn't have as much. But I

882
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 12: do think it's a I think it's trying to I

883
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 12: think it's trying really hard to insert whatever public narrative

884
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 12: that everybody has to deal with in their daily lives

885
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 12: when you go run around and ask people at the

886
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 12: Olympics or at tennis tournaments or wherever. Of course, if

887
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 12: the US team wins, the President's going to get involved.

888
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 12: He was involved in the last thing he's involved in sports,

889
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 12: And I think it's something that people have an opportunity

890
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 12: to insert something in and get people to react to

891
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 12: it and act one way or another. I don't think

892
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 12: it's a big deal whoever is in power as far

893
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 12: as the presidency, that people go to the White House

894
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 12: and have that experience or talk to the president on

895
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 12: the phone or even act like, you know, he's not

896
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 12: a hitler, so that's good. I don't think it's that

897
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 12: big of a deal. But people that I love and respect,

898
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 12: you know, write those articles and get all hufffled and

899
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 12: hufflepuffed about it like the Harry Potter Place, and I

900
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 12: think it's a sad place to put our energy. I mean,

901
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 12: we work in the toy department as the sports people, right,

902
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,959
Speaker 12: and if you want to talk about that stuff, there's

903
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 12: plenty of outlets to do it and get people to

904
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 12: be mad at you or happy with you. But I mean,

905
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 12: I think one of the things about the shows that

906
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 12: we do, or the least that I try to do,

907
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 12: is to keep people from really noticing what way I

908
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 12: lean in that regard. It's not about that at all.

909
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 12: It's about a break from that and just trying to

910
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 12: enjoy whatever our commonality is as people in a town

911
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 12: that enjoy the sports. And I do think that. I mean,

912
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 12: I understand there's always going to be some element of it,

913
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 12: and there always has been, right long before I was born.

914
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 12: You think about Jesse Owens, and I mean that was

915
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 12: political and that's something that nobody looked down on in

916
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 12: America at the time.

917
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 2: Right at.

918
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: Four Olympics, politics is always interjected and.

919
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 12: No one's mentioned like, hey, Russia was pretty good in hockey,

920
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 12: where were they for this? You know, we're acting like

921
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 12: they just don't even exist, you know, So there's always

922
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 12: some there's always something going on. But I do think

923
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 12: in this, in this particular regard, it's it's a it's

924
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 12: it's shoehorned in.

925
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: You may have already answered this question at the beginning

926
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: when you said you went back to sleep after seeing

927
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:21,479
Speaker 1: that the game was tied.

928
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: But I mean, are you as invested?

929
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 12: I mean I checked on the phone, gotcha, like you know,

930
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 12: to see the score, like you know, on a website,

931
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 12: not even like you know, turning the game on.

932
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: Are you as invested in the Olympics in general as

933
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: you used to be?

934
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 2: Or did you were? You never?

935
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 12: You know? I think it just depends.

936
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 6: Uh.

937
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 12: There's some Olympics that I've gotten really into and really enjoyed.

938
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 12: The one with Bob Costas and Pink Eye. I I

939
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 12: couldn't tear myself away. I just couldn't, you know. I

940
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 12: mean the stories intrigue you, right, I mean, the Olympics

941
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 12: are just like any football game every once in a while.

942
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 12: I mean the other day I was just sitting around

943
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 12: and I turned on a women's basketball game and it

944
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 12: was that big the big wide girl, Audie Crooks. Crooks

945
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 12: at Iowa State and then these long girls with glitter

946
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 12: in their hair from TCU and they're going back and forth,

947
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 12: and you know, it was a crazy and I was like,

948
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 12: I was into it, you know. I mean, I don't

949
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 12: have a dog and any I've been to ames, you know,

950
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 12: I've done a lot of horn frog games, but you

951
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 12: know what I mean. So so it's kind of like

952
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 12: that for me. If there's something that interests me about

953
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 12: and I'll watch it. And sometimes the Olympics happen and

954
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 12: there's things happening in sports in the town and they're

955
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 12: just kind of peripheral thing and you say, oh, yeah,

956
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 12: they ran out of condoms, and you use a story

957
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 12: like that, you know, without really watching. I mean, we

958
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 12: got the Summer Olympics coming here, and we're going to

959
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 12: show our ass to the whole world.

960
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is it going to be a nice, cleaned

961
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: up ass. Oh, it's going to be dirty.

962
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 2: Yes, Why did you clean it up?

963
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 3: Me?

964
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 5: Yeah?

965
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 2: You go down the skin row. Tell me what the.

966
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 12: Dude, we have three towers right like they were showing

967
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 12: the pat Riley thing the other day.

968
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're like.

969
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 12: Hey, look at all these statues you got over here.

970
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 12: There's magic, there's Kobe, there's you know, chick hern at

971
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 12: the desk and blah blahah bee and you look at

972
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 12: it and it's like, oh my god, there are those

973
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 12: three zombie towers in the background that are covered in

974
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 12: graffiti that are filled what's right, the most vile hive

975
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 12: of murderers and psychos and deprivation.

976
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 2: Like, my god, what's going on in there?

977
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, right across the street, and it's like the shadow

978
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 12: of one of the of one of the venues, one

979
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 12: of the crypto Staples Center, whatever you would call it.

980
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 12: I mean, we're a we're in a tough way. We're

981
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 12: gonna have the World Cup here too, and there's gonna

982
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 12: be World Cup games. It's so far. And they'll do

983
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 12: what they did in Inglewood, like when the Super Bowl

984
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 12: was here. They'll clean it all up and move everything.

985
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: Well, you got the super Bowl again next year too. Yeah,

986
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you got all sorts of stuff in the

987
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 1: next three years.

988
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 2: In your time.

989
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 12: LA can kind of absorb these things, yes, in a

990
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 12: way like a punch. But the Olympics are not that way.

991
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 12: I think I think the first week of the Olympics

992
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 12: when they were here in eighty four, obviously it's a

993
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 12: different town. But when they were here in eighty four,

994
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 12: I remember the first week being like no one was

995
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 12: on the roads because everybody was so scared of traffic, right,

996
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 12: And then the second week it was like karmagan, which

997
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 12: is what they call.

998
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 2: It, like, oh, this isn't bad, let me go back

999
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: to work again. You know, I saw Petross Moapaeggs joining us.

1000
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: I saw this story about Alyssa Loo, the skater, and

1001
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: how much, yes, and how much money her dad spent

1002
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: on her kate skating career.

1003
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: Did you did you see that?

1004
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,240
Speaker 1: The number he says he estimates upwards to a million

1005
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: dollars he is spent on his daughter's skating career. It

1006
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: does try and it's just I mean, it's just stunning

1007
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: to but I mean, I don't know how much do

1008
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: you know you spend on your kids youth sports?

1009
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: But it can get I got very very expensive.

1010
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 12: One word for you, dick less less Yes, well, yes,

1011
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 12: less than a million.

1012
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 2: I can guarantee I've spent less than a million as well.

1013
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 12: But well, there are some sports you know that one

1014
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 12: is in particular. You know, hockey is very expensive too

1015
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 12: because of the ice part and the and the traveling

1016
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 12: around to other places that will play you in places

1017
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 12: like southern California where there's no ice outside kind of thing.

1018
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 12: But there's some sports like white boys sports like like

1019
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 12: Little League Baseball. Yes, travel, Yeah, that dads can really

1020
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 12: have the opportunity to throw money at it. Like, there's

1021
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 12: plenty of people that will help you burn your money

1022
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 12: for bats, for hitting lessons, for you know, hitting clinics,

1023
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 12: for Hinner's house, you know, batting place at the mall,

1024
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 12: to you all all the different things, the sliding gloves,

1025
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 12: the the bruce bolt gloves and all the different stuff,

1026
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 12: you know. I mean, they find a way to really

1027
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 12: suck you dry. It's like going to Disneyland, except it's

1028
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 12: not as entertaining. So there's a I mean, I enjoy

1029
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 12: watching the kids compete, but as far as you sports go,

1030
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 12: it's it's a great way to burn out your kid

1031
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 12: by the time they're thirteen.

1032
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 3: Oh, there's no question.

1033
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 2: That's why it was great though.

1034
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: When we when we talked to Bo Jackson bow Nos

1035
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: at the at the Super Bowl, I mean he talked

1036
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: about He's spent a good four or five minutes talking

1037
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: about how important it was to not specialize your kid

1038
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: in a sport. I mean, we were here, we are

1039
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: talking to the great, in my opinion, the greatest athlete

1040
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: of my lifetime. And he's like, are you kidding me?

1041
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: Like you you cannot do that. You have to just

1042
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: allow you have to allow your child to play whatever

1043
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: they want to play and allow them to develop skills

1044
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: in a multitude of sports. It's only going to enhance

1045
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: whatever sport they end up wanting to play.

1046
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 2: Down the road.

1047
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 12: Some of the best people, I mean, I always think

1048
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 12: about Andrew Luck who was a soccer player, grown up

1049
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 12: in Europe part of the time because his dad was

1050
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 12: out there Oliver with NFL Europe. I think about Sam

1051
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 12: Darnold was not just a basketball player, but he was

1052
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 12: the league MVP two years in a row at San

1053
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 12: Clementy High School playing basketball and every quarterback. A lot

1054
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 12: of them that I played with, Mike Van Rapphors, Carson Palmer,

1055
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 12: they were they were all basketball starters. Even Mark Sanchez

1056
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 12: was a starter on the basketball team. And I think

1057
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 12: we've gotten I mean, baseball is its own thing, but

1058
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 12: I think we've gotten a little bit away, hopefully from

1059
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 12: discouraging kids from playing more than once.

1060
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 2: Benchelam swinging back a little bit.

1061
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 3: I've gud the last one.

1062
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,479
Speaker 12: I think it is because because we see that being

1063
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 12: more well rounded is a better thing not only for

1064
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 12: your body, but probably for your staying power. If you're

1065
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 12: going to playing for you know, into your twenties, if

1066
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 12: you're kind to do something into your twenties, you know,

1067
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 12: doing it when you're ten years old without any kind

1068
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 12: of respite, Which is what these a lot of these

1069
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 12: people are asking is I don't think is very feasible. Well,

1070
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 12: a lot of these kids, how we create a twenty

1071
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 12: three year old failure?

1072
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 3: That's right.

1073
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: And a lot of these kids, if they play one

1074
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: sport and they're just so serious and a lot of

1075
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: them attach their identity to that sport, So if they

1076
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: happen to fail in that sport, even for a short

1077
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: period of time, they think they're a failure as a person.

1078
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: Where if you have lots of different interest and lots

1079
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: of different skill sets, I mean, I will go back

1080
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: to a list of Loomis.

1081
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: She's a perfect example.

1082
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if you saw her gold medal

1083
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: winning performance, but she just skated with joy and free

1084
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: and they told the story before the her performance was

1085
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: she quit? I mean, she just flat out quit skating

1086
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: for like eighteen months and said, I've had enough.

1087
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to do this anymore.

1088
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: And she went off with her friends and she traveled

1089
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: and she did this, and she got She went to

1090
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: a ski trip with her buddies and she had such

1091
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 1: a great time skiing.

1092
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 2: She was like, you know what, I want to kind

1093
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: of try this again. But she didn't.

1094
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: Ident She no longer identified herself just as a skater.

1095
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: So when she got back to skating, she was like,

1096
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: you know what if I fail, I fail, I know

1097
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: I have a great life outside of skating now. And

1098
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that lifted her

1099
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: up to that gold medal because she wasn't.

1100
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 2: She wasn't as nervous as all the other people were.
