1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: We should have a little contest on the year, like

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: the most expensive parking lot that we can find in

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco, like for Radio Row, Media Day, whatever, Super Sunday.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I assume most people will be taking the train, ubers

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: bart things like that. But are we talking about like

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna be charging four hundred dollars for a parking

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: spot next weekend?

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: Two hundred?

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Do they have rules down there on how much they

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: can charge, like price gouging rules, because we don't.

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: We don't have that here in Seattle, right, don't. We don't.

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: We don't do that here. We just rip people off.

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: We don't have price, we have truth whatsoever. A lot

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: of these people sleep a night. Man, you're kidding me,

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: my god, for for two hundred bucks, you better detail

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: my car right when the game is over. When I

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: come back, it better be freaking detailed. And they're better

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: be dinner waiting in the back seat, for God's sake.

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: So Mike Florio is gonna join us today. You know

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: it's funny, guys that every year at the Super Bowl

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: there's always one big topic, right, like one big angle

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: on the game or one big news story. And I

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: think we pretty much got it handed to us yesterday.

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: We know what it's gonna be. It's gonna be Bill

25
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Belichick getting screwed out of the Hall of Fame. That's

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna get played out by everybody next week. And I

27
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear Kevin Harlan's thoughts on this, and

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: if you heard what Harlan was saying on some other

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: radio shows, but he's got a little bit of a

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: different take on that than most people do.

31
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: I know, most people.

32
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: Are just completely floored that Bill Belichick did not make

33
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame yesterday. So we'll talk to Florio

34
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: about that obviously, get his thoughts on what went down

35
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: with the Rams and Seahawks on Sunday, the matchup with

36
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots coming up next week.

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: It's just football, heaven, man.

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: We're having a football gasm, Seahawks gasm here on the

39
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: radio station. Cannot wait to get down there on Sunday.

40
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: Cannot wait to get to Radio Row and do the

41
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: show for five days and then hang around hopefully for

42
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: the game. You've already got your tickets because you're a

43
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: lucky bastard ak A. Your parents have had tickets for

44
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: half a century, so you got taken care of in

45
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: the prices. By the way, for this thing, if you've noticed,

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: I love leaving my computer screen up from the previous

47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: day because I can see how much things worry.

48
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: Yesterday.

49
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: When I logged off tickets last night, I just saw

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: it in front of my face. Sixty six one hundred

51
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: dollars to get in the door at venu kings dot com.

52
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: That's great. Where do you think those tickets have gone? Since?

53
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: What time did we log off last night? Six twenty

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: for the Pregium show? Since six twenty last night? Have

55
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: the prices to get in on menu kings dot com

56
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: gone up?

57
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: Or have they gone down? I'll go what year? Fifty

58
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: sixty two to fifty is your guess? Okay me?

59
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Fifty four fifty four? Dick your three dollars off?

60
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: Wow?

61
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: What six thousand, two hundred and forty seven bucks they've

62
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: dropped four hundred and thirteen.

63
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: It'd have been over on the prices right, so right, loss?

64
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 4: But they're they're dropping. That's the point is that they're

65
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: dropping to drop, they're dropping. They're down four hundred bucks

66
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: since last night. No, I think I think they'll be

67
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 4: down in maybe that's three grand range by the time

68
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: by the time it's all said by kickoff.

69
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah's another contest. Idea what will a get in price

70
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: be a kickoff? Kickoff at Kings checked that easily, absolutely well.

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: We can just tell Anthony to keep an eye on

72
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: it man or one of his minions at venue Kings

73
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: dot com.

74
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: Idea, do you think in the three thousands by kickoff?

75
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

76
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 6: Okay, I wonder what it was? Well, we can ask

77
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 6: him today.

78
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: He's on tonight. By the way, I want to know.

79
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: What it was last year at kickoff? Right, just so

80
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 4: then we'll have like, where was it last year ten

81
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: days ahead of time and where was it at kickoff?

82
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: So we can kind of gauge, right, because this is

83
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: going to be well and this one might be more

84
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: expensive because it's it's just so close for us, like

85
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: this is perfect, this is absolutely perfect. Could not work

86
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: out better to be a thousand miles away and we're

87
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: bitching and arguing about how long have I take to

88
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: drive there?

89
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: I think you can get there in like ten and

90
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: a half hours. By the way, personally for me, I've

91
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: done it before. I don't know how slow you drive. Jackson,

92
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: All right.

93
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: I've left, I've left the house at six o'clock and

94
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: had dinner in San Francisco.

95
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe your Volkswagon doesn't go faster than forty eight

96
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: miles an hour.

97
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: I got shut up.

98
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 7: Now, I think, I think, I think. I think the ultimately,

99
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 7: you look at the road and there's so many stretches

100
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 7: where the speed limit is seventy seventy five that you

101
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 7: can keep going eighty for long stretches.

102
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: And make it in that ten and a half. Well,

103
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: here's the one problem.

104
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Here's is the siscus is the problem, no doubt, no questions,

105
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: The siscus is the problem. Well, we did that drive

106
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: for the Rose Bowl in nineteen ninety three, so the

107
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: third one, not the second one when they won the title,

108
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: but the third one, buddy of mine. We left Bellevue

109
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: Factoria at ten o'clock at night and we got to

110
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Pasadena at ten o'clock the next night.

111
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: We drove twenty four hours straight through.

112
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: The snow was coming down so heavy and the siscus

113
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: it was easier to turn off your lights and let

114
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: the snow the light the roads up because it was

115
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: so white brow there.

116
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.

117
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: So my point is that we got to the Bay

118
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: Area at like nine o'clock in the morning the next morning,

119
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: because we left here at ten and we went right

120
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: through eleven and we were in San Jose Santa Clara

121
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: by like nine to thirty nine o'clock in the morning.

122
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: So you absolutely could drive down there, and if you're

123
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get in for three grand, you

124
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: might just want to say that. I would drive down

125
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: there and grab a hotel in Oakland or wherever and

126
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: head over in the morning and see if I can

127
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: get tickets.

128
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: But Anthony bay Rudy's going to join us on the air.

129
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: I did ask him to provide a pair of tickets

130
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: for the game to give away at six pms say

131
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: on the radio show.

132
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: He said, he said, you know what I'll do.

133
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: If you give me like a million dollars in commercial inventory,

134
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: maybe I'll give you a fair of tickets. So we're

135
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Anthony at six pm to night. I

136
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are just wondering, what's the deal.

137
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: We'll ticket prices drop, We'll tickets become available that maybe

138
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: aren't available. Now, what's the best place to go? Look,

139
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: I personally think, and I know that I've shoved him

140
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: down your throat before I trust Anthony bay Rudy. I

141
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: trust man you Kings, and there's a big reason why

142
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: I've never had a problem with them. And by the way,

143
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: if there ever is a problem with them, you contact

144
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: me directly and I will call him Anthony and I

145
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: will take care of you guys immediately. I will get

146
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: him on the phone to call you if you buy

147
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 1: tickets from Benu Kings dot com and have an issue.

148
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: There was that big controversy member like twelve years ago

149
00:05:59,440 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: in Arizona.

150
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: Yes, when people were getting robbed.

151
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: And Vinue Kings was reimbursing everybody who had problems. Dude,

152
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: he lost like fifty grand on that game, did not

153
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: make any money because he was reimbursing everybody and taking

154
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: care of people. So I trust these guys immenseally, and

155
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I think you should too. You want to buy take us,

156

00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: forty five. But right now it's time to get to

160
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: our friend Mike Florio.

161
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 8: It's time for a weekly conversation with Pro Football Talks

Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll be able to see this guy live on

00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Radio Row next week in San Francisco. Were hard for

171
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: NBC Pro Football Talk dot Com PFT live, the king

172
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: of all NFL media, the underspeed at heavyweight champion of

173
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: the NFL Press Corps. We are really hoping he will

174
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: grace us with his presence next Wednesday or a day.

175
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: Next week on Radio Row. Our friend, Mike Florio, how

176
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: are you man?

177
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: They're actually letting you guys out of the cave.

178
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like an experiment to see how we do

179
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: we work? Release Mike.

180
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, Now, is this because the Seahawks are in the game?

181
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: What do you think?

182
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 9: I mean?

183
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: Honestly, like, what do you think you think we'd be

184
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: there without? We wouldn't care.

185
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 9: Well, let's see the last time I saw you there

186
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 9: was the last time the Seahawks are in the game.

187
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's right.

188
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, dude, come on, They're not spending a gajillion

189
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: dollars to send us down there unless the Hawks are

190
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: playing in this game.

191
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: But we'll figure out next week.

192
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: I know you got to busy schedule all that stuff,

193
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: so we'll make it happen somehow, some way in person.

194
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: But dud, before we talk about the week that was

195
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: in both the AFC and the NFC. You've written a

196
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: lot about this in the last twenty four hours. I'm

197
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: stunned by a lot of elements of the story, including

198
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: that it leaked, including that voters are now revealing who

199
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: they voted for. How about Bill Belichick not making the

200
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame in your one.

201
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 9: You know, I'm stunned, but it's not a complete and

202
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 9: total shock because we've seen outcomes like this in the

203
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 9: past where for whatever reason, there's enough voters who have

204
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 9: a bias, an agenda, personal animus, whatever it may be,

205
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 9: and you see guys who deserve to be first battles

206
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 9: who don't get in to the come to mind, or

207
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 9: Tarrell Loans and Chris Carter Chris Carter had to wait

208
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 9: several years. He never should have.

209
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: Had to wait. Tarrell Loans was made to wait.

210
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 9: With some ridiculous arguments advanced by those who were against him.

211
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 9: Now that time around, at least some of the people

212
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 9: who are against him would speak out. We're still waiting,

213
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 9: I think, for anyone to clearly claim credit for not

214
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 9: voting for Bill Belichick, and to be clear, nobody voted

215
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 9: against him. The way this process works, he was in

216
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 9: a category with four others, Robert Kraft, Else Greenwood, Ken Anderson,

217
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 9: and Roger Craig, and the requirement was to vote for

218
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 9: three of those five. So the outcome means at least

219
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 9: forty of the voters didn't put his name among the

220
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 9: three out of those five I listed.

221
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: That's why he didn't make it. Nobody did.

222
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 9: No, there's no up or down anymore, which is one

223
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 9: of the problems with the process and allows for guys

224
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 9: like Belichick to slip through the cracks.

225
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: So do you want all the committee members to reveal

226
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: who they vote for each year?

227
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 9: Well, that's just part of what I'd like to see.

228
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 9: I'd like to see the current process incinerated. I'd like

229
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 9: to see it rebuilt from the ground up. I'd like

230
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 9: to see a board of Directors for the Pro Football

231
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 9: Hall of Fame that isn't just a who's who of

232
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 9: Canton business people with some NFL folks sprinkled in. I'd

233
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 9: like to see the commissioner, who's on the Board of

234
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 9: Directors take charge of this process. I'd like to have

235
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 9: a voting system that doesn't change every other I'd like

236
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,119
Speaker 9: to not have, in accordance with the one hundredth anniversary

237
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 9: of the NFL, this makeup class of twenty.

238
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: People that they crammed in.

239
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 9: The standard goes up, the standard goes down, the standards

240
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 9: all over the place, the rules change, and it's an embarrassment.

241
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 9: So one of the things I'd like is yes, transparency

242
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 9: in the voting. I'd also like to see the panel reform.

243
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 9: There are people on there who have been unemployed four years,

244
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 9: covering the National FOOTBA League four.

245
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: Years, and they still have a vote.

246
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 9: Not actively covering the NFL, I think a basic requirement,

247
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 9: and I know you need people who have historical knowledge.

248
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 9: I think a basic requirement is you are actively covering

249
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 9: the current National Football League in order to vote on

250
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 9: the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

251
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ridiculous. I'm with you, Mike.

252
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: There's just I mean again, there's way more transparency for

253
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame than there is for the

254
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame. You got a guy like Ryan

255
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: Thibodeau that reports on a lot of these dudes. There's

256
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot more ballots, but there a lot of them

257
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: are revealed. So I'm totally with you on that. But

258
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: Mike Florial's with us on the radio show. Mike, I

259
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: think since we last spoke, Mike McCarthy has gotten the

260
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh job. Is this a net positive or a net

261
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: negative for Pittsburgh? Going from Tomlin and McCarthy, I think, well.

262
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: Time will tell.

263
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 9: This is the first offensive coach they've hired since nineteen

264
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 9: sixty nine or before whoever the offensive guy was before

265
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 9: Chuck Nole. This will be the first coach in team

266
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 9: history that calls the offensive plays, because before Chuck no

267
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 9: those are the days when the quarterback called his play.

268
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 9: So this is a new era for Pittsburgh. I think

269
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 9: Steelers fans, and I know plenty of them. I lived

270
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 9: one hundred miles from Akroshuer Stadium, they they're dismayed, I

271
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 9: think because they wanted a hire that messed with their

272
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 9: perception of the franchise, and the Steelers should be a

273
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 9: team that coaches are flocking to. They shouldn't be hiring

274
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 9: a guy who has no other options in hand. John Horball,

275
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 9: there was a land rush teams were contacting his agent

276
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 9: while they still had head coaches. I think he got

277
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 9: up to ten teams when there were seven vacancy that

278
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 9: were talking to Harball's agent. Mike McCarthy was fired last

279
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 9: year by the Cowboy. He had one interview in the

280
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 9: twenty twenty five coaching carousel with the Bears one that's it.

281
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 9: This year it was the Titans and the Giants before

282
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 9: the Steelers came around. I've seen no indication that he

283
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 9: said no thank you to some.

284
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 10: Of the.

285
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: Cardinals, Raiders, Browns of the world.

286
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 9: And I think Steelers fans just look at this and say,

287
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 9: our job should be more desirable and the coach we

288
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 9: hire should be someone who is perceived.

289
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: To be in demand. And I don't know what the demand.

290
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 9: Was for Mike McCarthy beyond Pittsburgh.

291
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 7: Now.

292
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 9: I like the story that he's from Pittsburgh. I think

293
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 9: that's great, but the hell of a risk because they

294
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 9: need a quarterback, and every place he's gone he stumbled

295
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 9: into great quarterback situations. They need to develop someone, they

296
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 9: need to find someone. They need to do it quickly

297
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 9: or this is going to be a disaster.

298
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 6: But for one year, would Aaron Rodgers want to play

299
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 6: for his old coach?

300
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: Tyler Dunn, who.

301
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 9: Was at Bleacher Report at the time, had a story

302
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 9: in twenty nineteen that took a deep dive into the

303
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 9: final years of the Mike McCarthy Aaron Rodgers relationship in

304
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 9: Green Bay. I'll be stunned if both sides turned the

305
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 9: key on this one. And I think the Steelers are

306
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 9: waiting to see which way Aaron Rodgers turns his key

307
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 9: before they turn theirs, and they're trying to take the

308
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 9: high road. McCarthy said yesterday he definitely wants Aaron Rodgers back.

309
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 9: The situation where all you can say is definitely, what

310
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 9: are you going to say now? We want to go

311
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 9: in a different direction before we even know what he

312
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 9: wants to do. We want to go with Will Howard,

313
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 9: the sixth.

314
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: Round draft kick. We don't want Aaron Rodgers back.

315
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 9: I mean, it's a must live situation and I'm not

316
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 9: judging him for not telling the truth.

317
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: And maybe it is the truth. But Rogers has to

318
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: want to be there.

319
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 9: He went there because of Mike Tomlin, and I think

320
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 9: he's gonna look at McCarthy and say, been there, done that,

321
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 9: And if I'm going to play again this year, I'm

322
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 9: going to pick a spot where I may have a

323
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 9: better outcome, because who knows what the outcome is going

324
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 9: to be. When you have that kind of transition on

325
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 9: the coaching staff, there's no continuity. And you know, if

326
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 9: the Vikings warm up up to the idea this year

327
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 9: they weren't interested last year.

328
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: Is that a better spot form? I don't know.

329
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 9: Is there another team out there is a better spot form?

330
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. But that's part of what he's.

331
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 9: Going to have to look at. And I think the

332
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 9: Steelers don't want to make the first move to say

333
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 9: we're not interested. I think they want to wait for

334
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 9: him to make it clear that he's choosing not to return.

335
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: Well, Mike Florial is with us.

336
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Courtesy is simply a Seattle Mike, what are your thoughts

337
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: on what John Schneider just did here in Seattle getting

338
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: this team back to a super Bowl two years after

339
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: getting rid of Pete Carroll and a year after getting

340
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: rid of Gino Smith.

341
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's a thing of beauty. We made

342
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: him our Executive of the Year.

343
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 5: That's not one of the AP awards.

344
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 9: We do a slew of awards right after the season ends,

345
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 9: and you look at everything he did. It was a

346
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 9: calculative risk for Sam Darnold. They were making the assessment

347
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 9: that he could find a way to bust through that

348
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 9: ceiling that he banged up against Week eighteen of last

349
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 9: year when he was quarterback of the Vikings and they

350
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 9: were facing the Lions for the number one seed in

351
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 9: the NFC.

352
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: So you throw it all together.

353
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 9: The move they made where they are bringing in Mike

354
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 9: Donald trading for Rashi Shahead, I think one of the

355
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 9: more underrated moves. And I know they didn't have Jerry

356
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 9: Rice's numbers, but.

357
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: He has moments.

358
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 9: He has moments that that game on Sunday doesn't get

359
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 9: played in Seattle if Rashicha he doesn't have the fifty

360
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 9: eight yard return for a touchdown in the Week sixteen

361
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 9: game that helped erase the sixteen point definite. He had

362
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 9: a fifty one yard totch on Sunday. He had to

363
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 9: kick return that set the tone against the forty nine ers,

364
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 9: and that was that was beautiful because other teams could

365
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 9: have used him, and the Seahawks got him. So Schneider's

366
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 9: the man, and it's great to see now that he's

367
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 9: running the show that things are clicking and it feels

368
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 9: like it's sustainable for many years to come.

369
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak had a really good game in front of

370
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: like forty six million people watching. Is there a chance

371
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: that he's head coach in the next couple of weeks.

372
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: Well, there's a chance.

373
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 9: And the longer these last two spots linger, the more

374
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 9: likely it's becomes. Somebody's waiting for the Super Bowl to

375
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 9: come and go, and Clint Kubiak is the one, maybe

376
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 9: the only one on right now that it would be

377
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 9: the guy they're waiting for.

378
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: And we know that's not always a guarantee because there

379
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: was a.

380
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 9: Time several years ago where we thought Josh McDaniels was

381
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 9: going to coach the coltson and.

382
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: It didn't happen.

383
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 9: But yeah, I think that that he's still in play.

384
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 9: I'm surprised the Bills didn't wait. Now, the problem is

385
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 9: their vacancy didn't happen until it was too late to

386
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 9: interview him a first time, so they couldn't interview him

387
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 9: this week, so they would have had to wait until

388
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 9: after the Super Bowl to even talk to him once.

389
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 9: I was intrigued by what he could have done there.

390
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: But what he's done with that offense, it merits.

391
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 9: Serious consideration because he's doing it as the guy in

392
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 9: charge of the offense. He's not working for an offensive coach.

393
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 9: He's working for a defensive coach. So that makes the

394
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 9: accomplishments even more impressive.

395
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: Mike Florio with us.

396
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: Mike, before you go, I want to just let you

397
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: know that the Hall of Fame has just released a statement.

398
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: I can read this to you if you want.

399
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: We can with me.

400
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: No, they've just released a statement.

401
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Let me let me just read this to you and

402
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: get your live reaction if I can, If you don't mind, Mike.

403
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Fame understands and.

404
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: Respects the passionate reaction of many fans, media members, and

405
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: enshrinees of the Hall itself. In light of published reports

406
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: regarding the voting results for the Class of twenty twenty six,

407
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: it's that very passion that propels the game. The Hall

408
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: also respects the members of the selection committee when they

409
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: follow the selection process by laws. It's an honor to

410
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: serve as a selector. Each year, the Hall reviews the

411
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: selection process and the composition of the fifty person committee.

412
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: If it is determined that any member violated.

413
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: The selection process by laws, they understand action will be

414
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: taken that could include the possibility that such selectors would

415
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: not remain a member of the committee moving forward. The

416
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: selection of a new class is the most important duty

417
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame overseas each year, and the integrity

418
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: of that process cannot be questioned.

419
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: So the Hall of Famous pissed that it leaked.

420
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: Mike and the Hall of Famous pist that people are

421
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: revealing their votes your thoughts.

422
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: Well.

423
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 9: The fact that it leaked traces to Bill Belichick and

424
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 9: supposedly they sign NDAs and if they want to huff

425
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 9: and puff goes to Bill Belichick for violating his NBA

426
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 9: because he talked to people. He may not have been

427
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 9: the source for ESPN dot COM's report, but in the

428
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 9: report it's clear that he disclosed the others in common

429
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 9: to others about it. As it relates to the voters,

430
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 9: Here's what I would say, and this is.

431
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: The reason why I'm not a voter.

432
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 9: I would say, and I think I can say this

433
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 9: on your air. I would say, shove it up your

434
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 9: ass sideway. That's what I would say.

435
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 3: I don't get paid for this.

436
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 9: I have this issue with the AP. The AP gets

437
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 9: paid by the NFL to do the awards every year.

438
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 3: They don't pay the voters.

439
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 9: But I'm like, why am I doing this? I'm a

440
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 9: patsy for doing this. So if you're going to start

441
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 9: strong arming me and throntning me, I'm going to say, fine,

442
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 9: shove it. Go go find somebody else to do it.

443
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 9: Go find somebody else to devote all these hours to

444
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 9: the process and to put themselves in position where they

445
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 9: have to collectively take the heat and individually take the heat.

446
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 3: And people want to know who we voted for.

447
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 9: And I'm not going to say nothing when at least

448
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 9: eleven of these people were too freaking stupid to not

449
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 9: vote for Bill Belichick. So no, go ahead, find somebody else.

450
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: I love it, Mike. I love it, Mike. Great stuff.

451
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: Let's uh let's figure out a way to uh see

452
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: you next week.

453
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: All right, pal, all right, all right, my Flora. He's

454
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: got to go to work now.

455
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: And turned down this Hall of Fame statement that just

456
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: came out live on the air. And that's what I

457
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: was saying last night, guys, that this is totally unlike

458
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: the football Hall of Fame to do this, right, Like,

459
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: you never hear about who votes for who. Nothing leaks,

460
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: Like remember the homegun stuff a year ago. I mean,

461
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: we were literally on pins and needles until what night

462
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: was that?

463
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 9: Was it?

464
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: Like Saturday night? Whatever night that was because I was

465
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: at a I think I was at the airport, flying

466
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: somewhere wherever the hell I was going, and we we

467
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: had no idea.

468
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: Nobody had any idea.

469
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: This stuff does not leak, and nobody reveals their votes.

470
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the freaking Vatican, Like, what's the

471
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: what's the process of white smoke? Yeah, what's what's the conclave?

Speaker 1: want that take part in this process. All right, Land

528
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:17,400

Speaker 1: percent off anything, but we'll give away a gift card

531
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: at five point thirty tonight. It got me thinking though

532
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: about this game on Sunday, and we talked to Mike

533
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: Florio last segment about John Schneider. Who deserves the most

534
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: credit for this? Is it Mike McDonald, Is it Sam Darnold,

535
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: is it John Schneider? Is it Jody Allen? Is it

536
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: Dick Faine who deserves the most credit for what the

537
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: Seahawks just did by winning the NFC in year two

538
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: of the Mike McDonald era.

539
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 4: I think that the best things happen when multiple people

540
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: all do the right things. And Jody Allen did the

541
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 4: right thing, John Schneider did the right thing. Mike McDon

542
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: to the right thing. I kind of give the credit

543
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: for the offense to John Schneider because he brought Sam

544
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 4: Donald in and he decided, we don't want DK Metcalf,

545
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 4: we want to make JSN our guy.

546
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: He drafted JSN.

547
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 4: And I give Mike McDonald credit for putting together this

548
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 4: defense because okay, this defense has a couple of stars

549
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 4: on it, but for the most part, it's just a

550
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: bunch of good players.

551
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: I think that's a copout. You want one answer, answer,

552
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't give one credit for the offense

553
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: and won the.

554
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: Credit for the defense.

555
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: No, I said, who is most responsible? Not what people

556
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: are most response. That's why this is such a hard question. Okay,

557
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: it's Mike McDonald, because the reality is is that this

558
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: defense is the best in the NFL and why the

559
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks are here. Yes, they've had It's sort of like

560
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, right, is that the offense had disappoint sign

561
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Dick can be disappointed in the corner. The offense, like

562
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, has had its moments, But the Seahawks are

563
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl overall because this defense is

564
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: the best in the NFL. And Mike McDonald, he gets

565
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: the credit for that defense in his team, So McDonald

566
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: gets the most I agree with Jackson entirely. I think

567
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: I think the number one reason why the Seahawks are here,

568
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this for a couple of weeks,

569
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: is because Mike McDonald is a defensive genius. That's the

570
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: number one reason why they may have been a playoff team,

571
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: or they may have even played for the conference championship,

572
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: but they're not in the super Bowl and going to

573
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: win it without Mike McDonald. The best thing this team

574
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: does is play defense, right correct, That's the best thing.

575
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: And look, John's gone out and gotten some good players,

576
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: whether Spoon Byron Murphy, Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones, whatever, but

577
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: those guys aren't performing collectively. I think the way they

578
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: are with a different head coach, I don't think they're

579
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: doing that for Pete Carroll. If Pete Kell's the defensive

580
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: coordinator of this football team and the defensive wizard, they're

581
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: not collectively coming together what Mike McDonald has them doing.

582
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: So Jackson, I totally agree with you. I think the

583
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: number one reason why, and look, you would give John

584
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: credit for hiring the guy great because he did, But

585
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: the number one reason why the Hawks are here is

586
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: because Mike McDonald's here.

587
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 6: You've got I mean you look at the lob.

588
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 4: They had two Hall of Famers, right, and two borderline

589
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame.

590
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: They might have four Hall of famers, right, So four

591
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: of your eleven guys were the greatest players at their

592
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: position of all the time. So Bobby Wagner, Sherman, Chancellor Earl. Yeah,

593
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: those four guys correct, And this team doesn't have that yet.

594
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 6: This team doesn't have that at all. So now would anybody.

595
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: Be surprised if ten years from now we're saying Nicky

596
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: Man worries a lot Hall of Famer? No, I don't

597
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 4: think anybody maybe potentially, but as right now and at

598
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: this time in their career.

599
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 6: To get those two guys to play as well.

600
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 4: As they are when they're like twenty one and twenty

601
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 4: four years of age is ridiculous.

602
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: He is. I think you just talked yourself into it.

603
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: I did.

604
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: He is the number one reason Mike McDonald, the hire

605
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: of Mike McDonald is the number one reason why the

606
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: Seahawks are where they're at right now, we.

607
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: Would have what I say, I know him being here here?

608
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: Does that mean John gets the crow?

609
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: He gets the credit because he implemented the system he's

610
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: the one who implemented the system. Mike McDonald being here again,

611
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: if you want to give John credit for hiring him, phenomenal,

612
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: but he had to go do the job. Mike had

613
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: to go do the job, and he did the job.

614
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: His presence, his presence is the number one reason why.

615
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: Okay, it's one of those things though, because you just

616
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: as you just said, killed.

617
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 7: If you want to give John credit for the higher

618
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 7: you can, and that little bit might be enough for.

619
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: It to push it over the edge to it's so close.

620
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: I just think, I just think, again, he's the one

621
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: that had to do the work. He's the one that

622
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: had to get these guys to believe. He's the one

623
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: that had to implement that communication, elite communication system that

624
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: they run. He's the one that had to take the

625
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: pieces that Schneider gave him and turn them from whatever

626
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: into chicken salad. I'm not saying they're chicken crap, but again,

627
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: I think, I think the idea is that if John

628
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: had drafted all these guys and traded for all these

629
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: guys and Pete Carroll and I don't want to bash

630
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: you on Pete because I love Pete, but if Pete

631
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: was still here.

632
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 2: They're not performing like this. I don't think they are.

633
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: They're just not.

634
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: I mean, go back and look at where their defense was.

635
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: Was it like two years ago? They were like twenty second, right,

636
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: something like that, and even worse against the run? Remember

637
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: that how piss poor they were against the run. They

638
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: were twenty fifth and scoring defense two years ago and

639
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: now they're number one. They've went from thirtieth to sixth

640
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: and yards and twenty fifth to first in points. That

641
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: is not all just talent, guys.

642
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 4: What's not incredible is it's the if you just look

643
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 4: back at the Baltimore Ravens, it's the exact same thing

644
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: at the exact same time. Year number two. Second half

645
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 4: of the season is when it clicked for Mike McDonald

646
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: and Baltimore. And that's exactly when it's clicked for Mike

647
00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: McDonald here.

648
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: You guys want to hear I'm even crazier. Twenty ten, the

649
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks took over. They were twenty fifth in the NFL

650
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: in scoring defense. Twenty twenty three, Pete Carroll's last year,

651
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: they were twenty fifth in scoring defense. Two years later

652
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: they were number one. They've gone from twenty first twenty

653
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: fifth to number one, Pete Carroll in two years, Mike

654
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: McDonald in two years, number one in the NFL. I

655
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: mean it's crazy, how how quick it happened both times.

656
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna break Lane Lambert, head coach of the Kraken.

657
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Did they watch the Hawks on Sunday? They better have.

658
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,880

00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: last night. And I want to know what the heck

683
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: is going on with your offense? All of a sudden

684
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: man three out of four and of those three games,

685
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: you've scored thirteen goals combined.

686
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: In the last three wins.

687
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: This is a juggernaut offensively, all of a sudden, Coach,

688
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: what's going on?

689
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: Uh?

690
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know where.

691
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 11: You know, there's some nights that goes in some nights

692
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 11: it doesn't. But certainly some of our guys have gotten hot.

693
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 6: Uh.

694
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 11: You know, Beneers is having the heck of a month

695
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 11: here for us. Jared McCann, you know, has a way

696
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 11: to find the net, and so some of our some

697
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 11: of our top top guys are are putting it in

698
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 11: the back.

699
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 5: Of the net right now.

700
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 4: Certainly, And you know, Coach, I was I didn't get

701
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 4: a chance to watch your Friday against Anaheim, but I

702
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: got home just in time to watch the postgame press

703
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: conference in which you declared it the worst game of

704
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: the season. So I'm wondering if these last two games

705
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 4: are as a result of you getting after him after quote,

706
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 4: the worst game of the season.

707
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 11: Well, you know, I think I think everyone knew that

708
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 11: we didn't play well.

709
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 5: A guys knew that. They're proud, you know, they they're committed,

710
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 5: they know.

711
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 11: What is expected, and they expected out of themselves, right, So,

712
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 11: you know, maybe a little bit less here in January

713
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 11: that I had to remind them of how bad the

714
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 11: game was is maybe I would have been October or

715
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 11: November when we were really trying to build our standard.

716
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 11: And you know, I think the guys have done a

717
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 11: really good job of re realizing that, you know, that

718
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 11: wasn't good enough.

719
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 5: And we have to be better. And you know, so

720
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: they they played well in the last couple of games.

721
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: Well, Lane, let's talk about last night. Jere McCann came

722
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: close to a hat trick. I mean a lot of

723
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: people need to get their hats back after after last night.

724
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: But you know, as Dick was talking to me off

725
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: the air, kind of a late call, right, what was

726
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: your take on on that sequence and the way that

727
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: whole thing went down, Well.

728
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 11: It was unfortunate for the people that threw their hats

729
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 11: out there for sure, you can't you can't get those back.

730
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 11: So and and you know, and for Jared as well,

731
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 11: because you know, he he made a great play obviously

732
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 11: on the breakaway and it would have been nice to

733
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 11: see him get a hat trick. But it sort of

734
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 11: turned the tide of the game a little bit. We

735
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 11: went from okay for nothing, where we've got the game

736
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 11: pretty much under control, to now we've got a four

737
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 11: minute penalty and they score in the first two minutes.

738
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 11: So now we've still got a penalty and they have

739
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 11: an opportunity to bring the game to within one. So

740
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 11: quite a turn of high stick. He's not allowed to

741
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 11: blow the whistle to call a penalty, but if it's

742
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 11: a four minute penalty, because it's drawn blood on the

743
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 11: high stick linesmen are able to call the penalty.

744
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 5: And so the play went.

745
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 11: On for quite a while, and obviously we scored, and

746
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 11: then you know, kind of all broke loose there and

747
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 11: the thing turned around. But as far as the officiated

748
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 11: is concerned and the way the rule applies, they did

749
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 11: everything by the book. You know, there just wasn't any

750
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 11: any way around it.

751
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think Kraken fans got exactly what they wanted.

752
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 4: Last night, they got a big, easy win and they

753
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 4: got to see Alex Ovechkin score a goal, so they

754
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: can always say that they saw that. Just talk about

755
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: his career a little bit, and if you think this

756
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: is the last time we will ever see him in Seattle, I.

757
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 11: Don't know if it's the last time. I think it's

758
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 11: getting to be very very close to the last time.

759
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 11: To be honest, you know, I've had the honor. I

760
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 11: guess you could call it in the pleasure, because it

761
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 11: is a pleasure coaching him. He loves the game, you know,

762
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 11: and he loves to score, as you as you can

763
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 11: well know by his celebrations and things like that, and

764
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 11: he loves when his teammates score. And that's probably the

765
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 11: thing that I was most impressed with him about when

766
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 11: I went and started coaching him, is you know, teams

767
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 11: take him away on the power play. Sometimes teams go

768
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 11: over and stand there with him, and he just kind

769
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 11: of acts as a decoy, and he gets everybody as

770
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 11: excited if one of the other guys scores in the

771
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 11: power play as if that goal came in off of

772
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 11: his stick. And I felt like that was a really

773
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 11: an impressive quality from him.

774
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 5: That's what you want from a leader, and you know.

775
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 11: It was a pleasure to pleasure to coach him. His

776
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 11: career is incredible. He's obviously the all time leading goal

777
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 11: scorer in the National Hockey League.

778
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 5: Yep.

779
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 11: You know, you can never say never, you can never

780
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 11: say never, but man, that's going to be a tough

781
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 11: that's gonna be a tough one to catch, and and

782
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 11: he's done it in my opinion, with the goaltending being

783
