Speaker 1: we go.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 3: Big Friday Night continues right here on ninety three three.

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: kJ arfm don't forget we got husky basketball against the Koogs.

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 3: Baby the Post and McCoy era has begun in Pullman,

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 3: was that what it was?

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: Era?

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 3: It was an era? It was eighteen months, but it's

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: no longer an era because it's done and have.

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: To be before it's an era. That's a good question.

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: What is the definition? Look it up. I think it's

14
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: more than eighteen months, do you think so?

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't think there really is

16
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 3: a time restriction on an era.

17
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: Definition of an era?

18
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 3: How long does an era have to last before it

19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: is officially an era? A long and distinct period is

20
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: eighteen months? Long and distinct?

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: HEYI says hundreds of millions of years? So I mean

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe Pete Carroll never had an era. E No, my

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Congres never had an era. Bluke Panella never had an era,

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: and you know who else never had an era? You

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: and me we don't exist. We never did, We never

26
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: took place.

27
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 4: It also says subjective period defined by significant events lasting

28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 4: anywhere from a few years to century.

29
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: So I don't think there were a lot of significant events.

30
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: That was This really sounds like the kind of conversation

31
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: that we should have with Hugh by the way on

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: the ear, this is right up his freaking.

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Hour would take an hour and a half. Take an era,

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Diane by the way, fane, this type of conversation. God,

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: why do you do that to me?

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: All right, here we go, headlines, I'm sorry, headlines, fun

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: will audio, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

38
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: What's that? Dick? All right, let's start with number one there.

39
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: Mugger Justin Fields had another bad game last night as

40
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: the Jets lost to the Patriots twenty seven to fourteen.

41
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: On Sportsnet New York's postgame show, former Jets guard Willie

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: Colon or is it Cologne ripping Fields and head coat

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 3: coach Aaron Glenn for playing him at all.

44
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 5: The Aaron Glenn is going to sit up here and

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 5: talk about how he needs to watch the tape. You

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 5: don't need to watch anything. Justin Field's not the NFL

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 5: quarterback Like let's just let's just be honest and you

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 5: sit You can't sit here and tell your team and

49
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 5: before games want them to rally and want them to

50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 5: give you all they got when you're not giving your

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: team everything they need to be successful. I mean, he

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 5: she shouldn't have played in the second half. If I'm

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: sitting in that locker room and he's talking to us

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 5: and he's talking about what we should do, I'm like, no,

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 5: what should you have done?

56
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: Then? What I should have done? Because the tape don't lie.

57
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm on the field.

58
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 5: We watched miss throws bad mechanics, he doesn't trust his feet.

59
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: That's not the NFL.

60
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 5: You gotta see it and go, and it's just it's

61
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 5: it's redundant.

62
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 6: Uh.

63
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is thirtieth in the NFL among qualifying quarterbacks

64
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: in QBR with thirty eight.

65
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: And who's right behind Justin Fields and.

66
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: QBR by the way, Russell Wilson Geno Smith Smith beautiful.

67
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: I saw you know who's dead last in the NFL

68
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: and QBR who the number one pick in the draft?

69
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Cam Ward?

70
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: I saw a stat that I had to look up

71
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: because I didn't believe it when I saw it on television. Yeah,

72
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: Justin Fields has forty seven fumbles. Wow, what forty seven

73
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: career fumble career?

74
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: I thought you meant like this year. It's not like

75
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: he's been around. He's been around for four seasons. But still,

76
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean forty seven and a half a year versus

77
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: forty seven and four years. I mean, that's a lot.

78
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: That's a lot of fumbles. Man, there is no I

79
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: just can't believe how bad that. What is the deal

80
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: with the Jets?

81
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, we suck again.

82
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: It's just amazing. They just cannot get a freaking break. Well, listen,

83
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: I think he's right. I think it's time for the

84
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Jets to do something else. But let's be honest with you.

85
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: The next Jets starting quarterback, whatever poor bastard wins that job,

86
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: is not on the roster right now. It ain't gonna

87
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: be Justin Fields, ain't gonna be Tyrod Taylor or whoever

88
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: it is. And frankly, for the Jets, there's no help

89
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: in the draft.

90
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Anyway this year. But the Jets are dumb enough to

91
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: reach for. I don't know what they should expect the

92
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: rest of the way.

93
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: They just got rid of maybe two of their top

94
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: five players, and Quinn Williams and Sauce Gardners. So they

95
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: are sucking for somebody. I don't know who it is,

96
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: but they're sucking for someone. All right, Hey, Dick, did

97
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: you happen to hear that?

98
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: What's that? Dick?

99
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 3: The Celtics Sixers game in Philly earlier this week was

100
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: called by Mike Turrico for NBC. During the game, a

101
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: fan seated behind Tarrico continued to berate the referees for

102
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: bad calls. So in the fourth quarter, Mike decided to

103
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: turn around and talk to the loud fan, Simon from.

104
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 7: Boston foul and transition, well, that it's not the Philly

105
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 7: bench bench, just a fan behind him who knows the rules.

106
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: You agree, he knows the gather what's your name? Michael

107
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: Michael went hometown Michael Michael's Motion City right behind.

108
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 6: He was like that in the business, you like to

109
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 6: have the natural sounds. I feel like that in Philly

110
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 6: it's it was a little dangerous. So it's just who said,

111
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 6: you know you were in trouble.

112
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's lucky it wasn't worse with

113
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: what leaked out over TV. That was the cleanest Philly

114
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: fan I think I've ever heard. What was the score

115
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: of that game? By the way, you remember the score

116
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: was very close?

117
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: Okay, very close, because that kind of seems like the

118
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: kind of thing a guy would do during a blowout,

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: by the way, right, not during a close game.

120
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: I felt.

121
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: You know who did a great job over the weekend

122
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: was Harlean two reasons. Why did I tell you this?

123
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: By the way, he had a migraine during the game,

124
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: had a migraine during the game on Sunday, which nobody

125
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: figured that out.

126
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Nobody even knew that.

127
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: And then number two was a blowout and he was

128
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 3: able to fill it with some pretty exciting stuff for

129
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: the second half.

130
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: Good for him. It was a one nine one away game.

131
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: Do you have when you do a storm game and

132
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 3: there's an ass kicking? Do you have like a book

133
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: of stories you can read on the air? Poems, jokes, recipes,

134
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: the movie record.

135
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't mind.

136
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: I don't mind the blowouts nearly as much as I

137
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 4: mind the reviews.

138
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: Just the incessant reviews.

139
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: In the last three and four minutes of the game,

140
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 4: that each one of them take two and a half minutes,

141
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: and basically at least like going to radio show mode.

142
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: We literally do like a radio segment.

143
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 4: Well, while these rests are spending two and a half

144
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: minutes looking at a TV monitor, the.

145
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: Storm up on the sparks by eighty here in the

146
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, Let's talk about my grandmother's eggs plant parmesan recipe.

147
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

148
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: What's that?

149
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: San Diego eliminating Portland from the MLS playoffs?

150
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: Well, a four to nothing beat down to the Timbers.

151
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: You know, Jackson put this in here, by the way,

152
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: because he hates the Timbers. I'm all Pellegrino, I like

153
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: teens scoring for it, not the water scoring for San

154
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: Diego in the seventeenth minute, but then got leveled by.

155
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: A Portland player.

156
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: In an interview this week, Pellegrino was asked about getting.

157
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 8: Hit he scored for first all Portland defenders into Globo

158
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 8: his body into you Andy.

159
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: To the ground.

160
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: Do you feel like there's any.

161
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 8: Place that in Again, I don't care.

162
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: We are onto the next one, and day are going

163
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: to contam to have a holidays. I couldn't hear a

164
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: word he said. We're heading on it. He doesn't care.

165
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: On the next one, and they're going to have their holidays. Okay,

166
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: and don't. I'll be honest with you, Dick. I have

167
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: no response to that whatsoever. That was a Jackson felt

168
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: edition right there if I have ever.

169
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: Heard, well, first of all, the guy sounds like he's

170
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: five hundred feet away, you know, it's like he's.

171
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Over here in the core. What was the exact quote again, Dick?

172
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: He said, he said, we're on to the next one

173
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 4: one and they're having a holidayiday.

174
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: That's what I heard, Jackson. What do you do it? Hey, Dick?

175
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Did you happen to hear that that day? What's that?

176
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 9: Dick?

177
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: Last week, Cowboy defensive end Markshawn Neeland was found dead

178
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: from a self inflicted gunshot. The suicide shocked the football world,

179
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: including Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who reflected on Neland's

180
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: life at a press conference on Wednesday and talked about

181
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: setting up a fund for his unborn child and girlfriend.

182
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 8: Off for my condolences to you know, Marshawn's family, Catalina,

183
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 8: his girlfriend. We had an opportunity last night to celebrate

184
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 8: Marshawn's life, tell some stories, share, laugh, cry. My heart

185
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 8: is heavy, Our team's heart is heavy. We don't move

186
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 8: on but we do move forward. We're going to honor

187
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 8: Marshawan his family a number of different ways. The organization

188
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 8: that's been amazing, you know, just we've you know, started

189
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 8: the Marshawn Neeland Memorial Fund where we can all give

190
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 8: and support Catalina, and uh, she's pregnant and so we

191
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 8: want to make sure she's taken care of and the

192
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 8: baby's taken care of for the rest of their lives.

193
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 8: Our guys are very it's very important to them and

194
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 8: to us.

195
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: That's Bertle story.

196
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: But I mean, good for them, man, I mean, they

197
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: just want to make sure that, you know, she never

198
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: has to worry ever again, you know. And I think

199
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: it's fantastic. I think it's a terrible, terrible tragedy that

200
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: hopefully will have I mean, it's hard to even use

201
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: the word silver lining right when something like that happens.

202
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: But for them to step up the way, guys, imagine

203
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: if this happened to one of our guys in Seattle, right,

204
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 3: I mean, pick whatever name you want, but just imagine

205
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 3: if you read about a cracking player or a Mariner player,

206
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: or a Seahawk player something like this, Like remember the

207
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: Mike Fryar story back in the day right the car accident.

208
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: I think Brian Blade was involved in that somehow, some way,

209
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,119
Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, but you know, he was paralyzed

210
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: and then eventually passed away. Curtis Williams, all of us

211
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: were there at Stanford in that rainstorm the night Curtis

212
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: broke his neck and you know, eight nine months later

213
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: he was gone. But this is during the season one

214
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 3: of your players commits suicide, and it's I don't even

215
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: know how to respond to that.

216
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: Man horrible.

217
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I I could just respond at the

218
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 4: end of that with the fund they're setting up, that is,

219
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: that's fantastic, and that his teammates, all of them are millionaires,

220
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 4: are going to make sure that his girlfriend and baby

221
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 4: are taking care of all.

222
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: Right, let's get one more. Uh hey, Dick, did you

223
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: happen to hear that?

224
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: What's that?

225
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 5: If?

226
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: What's that?

227
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 9: Dick?

228
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: Paul fine Baum ESPN talking about South Florida and how

229
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: they don't belong in his mind whatsoever in the latest

230
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 3: college football playoff rankings.

231
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 10: I am okay with that, doggie. What I'm not okay

232
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 10: with is your ridiculous statement from a minute ago. I mean,

233
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 10: what is wrong with this country when let's let's put

234
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 10: a couple of people over here in Let's put a

235
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 10: couple of people. What about putting the best in? I

236
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 10: don't see major League Baseball. I don't see the NFL

237
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 10: going Ah, the Chiefs, they've been there too many times.

238
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 10: Let's let's let's put the Patriots in. I mean, doggie,

239
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 10: this is about to be This is supposed to be

240
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 10: about excellent, not about being fair. This is not the

241
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 10: little leagues where we have a second, third, fourth, and

242
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 10: fifth place trophy. This should be the best.

243
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: It's already a convoluted.

244
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 10: System because we let the Group of whatever in the

245
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 10: Group of five with South Florida, and they have no

246
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 10: business that that conference, that division really has no business playing.

247
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 10: That's like letting the TRIAA best team in to the

248
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 10: Major league playoffs. It doesn't happen in any other sport.

249
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 10: But for you to say, oh, the SEC has too

250
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 10: many teams in and this and that is just patently ridiculous.

251
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: I one hundred percent agreed with Paul Feinbaum. It used

252
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 4: to be college football used to be separate from professional sports,

253
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 4: and so it was okay to be regionalized and okay

254
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: to let a conference champion in from all these conference

255
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: champions from all these conferences.

256
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: It is no longer an amateur sport.

257
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: This is a professional sport, and only the best twelve

258
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 4: teams in college football should be allowed to play.

259
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Well, I think, I think in my world, I think

260
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: what you do is you take the Big Ten, the

261
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: Big Twelve, the ACC, in the SEC, and you say, okay,

262
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: let's have a is it twelve team tournament, eight team tournament,

263
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: whatever it is that you decide to do. Right, Uh,

264
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: maybe just take the top three teams from each conference period,

265
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: end of story.

266
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 4: Well, then that hurts the The SEC and the Big

267
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: Ten were clearly better than.

268
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care, but don't you want

269
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: the best team? If you want to have, then get

270
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 3: rid of the Big twelve in the ACC. And because

271
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,239
Speaker 3: if you want structure, thank you. You have to have structure,

272
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: because you could have teams in the AFC that are

273
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: better than some teams in the NFC. But the bad

274
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 3: teams make the playoffs and the good teams don't. I mean,

275
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: somebody's got to be the eighth seed in each conference.

276
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna get left out, somebody's not going to be

277
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: able to go. Maybe there's a number eight seed that

278
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: is better than a division champion, but that division stinks

279
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: and that team won up by going seven to ten.

280
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're gonna have structure, than have structure.

281
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: You don't want to have all these conferences involved, and

282
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: don't have the conferences all involved. But this is just

283
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: it's it's time to move on at some point, either

284
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: it's the four big conferences or it's the Big two

285
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: and they do their own thing. And you got thirty

286
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: teams in one division and you call it the BECK,

287
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 3: the Big ten in the SEC, whatever the hell you.

288
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: Want to call it.

289
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: I don't give a crap, but this has got to

290
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: be figured out because it's just it's tiresome, man, and tiresome.

291
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 4: A two loss team from the ACC is not the

292
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 4: equivalent to a two loss team from the S and SO.

293
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 4: And it's just getting it's they're just getting more and

294
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 4: more SEC and Big ten teams in the top twenty. Anyway,

295
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: it's just going to continue to go that way as

296
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: all the best players are going to funnel to those conferences.

297
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: Well, college football has to ask themselves what do they

298
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 3: want to be? Do they want to be about four conferences.

299
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 3: Do they want to be about one hundred teams or

300
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: do they want to be about thirty teams? They just

301
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: simply put have to ask themselves that question. And you

302
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: think college football is more like the NFL. Now wait

303
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: until it's thirty teams. That's right in college football, just

304
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 3: at the top of the mountain, and then it's the

305
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: National Football League.

306
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 11: Light.

307
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: We gotta break. Rick new Heizel coming up Sonia Ramen.

308
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: Can I call her top Ramen? She's the new coach

309
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: of the Storm. She's an instant winner. Baby, if you

Speaker 1: mean they practiced there.

327
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: Did you know, Travis, that the visiting team will use

328
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,720

00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

335
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: And we walked off and on the ice was the

Speaker 3: sent Sharks practicing up there, right.

337
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean I had no idea the teams did you

338
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: know that much? They do that in the NHL.

339
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: I mean whatever happened to when we were we were

340
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: a civilized society and teams hated each other's juts and

341
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: they said, you can take a hike, you're not using

342
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: our rink at.

343
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: The hell out.

344
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 4: And as you know, Travis, I'm a hockey expert, and

345
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: I was breaking down everything I said it to Lane

346
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: Lambert and we're all, yeah.

347
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lane.

348
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: Lane says, well, this guy knows nothing, so I'll have

349
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: a great time with those knuckleheads.

350
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: But man, the game on Sunday.

351
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: Can't wait for one o'clock at SO five Stadium in

352
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: La Rams Seahawks. Lindsey Theory was on with us earlier

353
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: today and says it's going to be very loud when

354
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: the Rams are on offense because of all the Hawk

355
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: fans that will be invading So ifi Stadium. And look,

356
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: I mean if you put a gun to my head

357
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: and said who wins the game? I think I'd take

358
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: the Rams to win this game on Sunday, right. I mean,

359
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: you're on the road. You're three and six in your

360
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 3: last nine games away from Seattle against the Rams. But man, dude,

361
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: it's just the obligatory three, right, that's what the Rams

362
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: are getting. Vegas is telling you, Dick, that this is

363
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: a toss up on Sunday.

364
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: I just stumbled onto maybe the key to this game

365
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 4: I did. I did not realize that the Seattle Seahawks

366
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 4: are the second worst team in giving the.

367
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: Football away this season. They are second only to Miami

368
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: with sixteen turnovers. How are they seven to two. Then

369
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: you think back.

370
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 4: To those you think back to those two, well almost

371
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: it almost means that they're even more dumb.

372
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: And that's right, then a normal team would be. But

373
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: you look back at those two losses.

374
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 4: San Francisco, they fumble the ball at the end of

375
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: the game going in or they could have won that

376
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 4: football Tampa Bay, they lose by three. They had two

377
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 4: turnovers in that game. Tampa Bay turned the first turnover

378
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: into a touchdown, the second turnover to a field goal.

379
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: You're you're talking about.

380
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: A team that if they just aren't sloppy, right, they

381
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 4: might be nine to zero right now.

382
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I get that.

383
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: You know, there's probably something we could throw out there

384
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: that says, if they did not do this, then they'd be,

385
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: you know, six and three, right whatever. Five course wins though, well,

386
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: the Jaguar game was a little tight. The Texan game

387
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: at times was a little tight. You know, those are

388
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 3: the tightest I guess is those two Cardinal game.

389
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: The one down there in Arizona was yeah, bit tight

390
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: in the endgame was seven twenty to six. Yeah, I

391
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: just I just think this.

392
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of teams that can probably

393
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: say that I didn't know that they were that terrible

394
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 3: in relation to the rest of the NFL when it

395
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 3: came to turning over the ball.

396
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: But here's the thing.

397
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 3: If I would have told you when the season started,

398
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 3: whereto turnovers just sixteen number two, second worst, second most

399
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: turnof And where are they at running the football? Like

400
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 3: second to last in the NFL in yards per carre

401
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 3: A're gonna be sitting here in July. I'm gonna say, hey, Dick,

402
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: on November the fourteenth, the Hawks will be the second

403
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: worst team in protecting the football, and they're gonna suck

404
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 3: on run offense.

405
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: What's their record? Three and six? Okay, they're seven to two.

406
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: That's amazing, absolutely amazing. And let's throw this one in.

407
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 4: Their second best wide receiver is gonna be would you say,

408
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 4: like ninetieth in targets targets in the NFL?

409
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: Yes, And they're gonna be a one trick pony. And

410
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: they're gonna have a bunch of guys hurt on defense

411
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: that have missed a significant amount of times. Okay, oh god,

412
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: so even more even more amazing what Mike McDonald's been

413
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: able to do. Right, all right, when we come back,

414

Speaker 4: the interview, the circuit this week. What has the last

450
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 4: three or four days been like since you got into town.

451
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 12: It's been a whirlwind, but really exciting. I've gotten to

452
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 12: meet a lot of great folks here in Seattle and

453
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 12: spent some time in their practice facility, which is, you know,

454
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 12: the best practice facility I've ever seen. So it's it's

455
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 12: been really great.

456
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 9: Well, you mentioned that practice facility.

457
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 4: What does the Storm Center for Basketball Performance say about

458
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 4: this franchise's commitment to not only success, but to the

459
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: future of this league.

460
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 12: I think, you know, you can just see the investment

461
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 12: in these women by being so forward thinking and and

462
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 12: putting that facility up, you know, one of the first

463
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 12: to go up in the league, and you know the

464
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 12: details in there, and they've thought of everything the players

465
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 12: really want for nothing, and it's so it's so intentional

466
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 12: in terms of their commitment and how they show it.

467
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: And I understand that you were there earlier in the

468
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 4: year or maybe in the preseason, that you actually got

469
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 4: a chance to see some practices at one point.

470
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: Is that right.

471
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 12: I've been going to practices for a while. I was

472
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 12: at training camp back in twenty twenty four. The organization

473
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 12: welcome me in and I got to observe and it

474
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 12: was it was really high level.

475
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 9: Tell us about your ties you have to Northwest.

476
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: I know you got some big family ties here, so

477
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: this isn't a totally strange new corner of the world

478
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 4: for you.

479
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: That's right.

480
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 12: Seattle is like a second home to me. My wife

481
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 12: is from here, we got married out here, so you know,

482
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 12: I love coming out this way and spending time in Seattle,

483
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 12: and I'm so excited to be able to really officially

484
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 12: call this home now.

485
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 9: It's so great to have you.

486
00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: What's the reputation nationally of this organization and of Seattle basketball.

487
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 9: I mean when you think of the Storm brand, what

488
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 9: comes to mind to you.

489
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 12: I mean it's high level. The World Championship comes to

490
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 12: mind right out of the gate, four of them across

491
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 12: different eras and really as well like leaders in promoting

492
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 12: women in sports and professional women and it's just it's

493
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 12: a summer league and being in Seattle in the summer,

494
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 12: it's incredible, so high reputation. You know, players love coming

495
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 12: Seattle to play here. It's a great it's a great

496
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 12: place to be and it's really again exciting to be

497
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 12: part of it now.

498
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 4: New head coach of the Seattle Storm, Sonya Rahman, joining

499
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: us here on ninety three point three kJ RFM. The

500
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 4: one question I was kind of asking other members of

501
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: the media when I went to your press conference when

502
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 4: you were introduced, was is this an in the box

503
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 4: hire or an out of the box hire. I mean,

504
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 4: you could say it's an in the box hire because

505
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 4: you were Sandy Brondello's assistant in the WNBA last year,

506
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 4: so that's a that's a natural step to make from

507
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 4: assistant to head coach in the same league.

508
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 9: But then you were in the NBA for four years

509
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 9: in Memphis.

510
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 4: You've coached college, You've done You've been you've been the

511
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: in the in the business world outside of basketball. So

512
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: what do you think is this an in the box

513
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 4: hire by the stormer and out of the box hire.

514
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 12: You know what, Deck, I'll let you decide on what

515
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 12: you want to call it. Whether it's in the box,

516
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 12: you're out of the box. I'm so glad, Like I

517
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 12: didn't plan all of that, you know, those experiences to

518
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 12: get to where I am now, But I'm so glad

519
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 12: that you know, I had those experiences and everything unfolded

520
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 12: the way it did. I think those varied places that

521
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 12: I've been have really helped to shape me and help

522
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 12: me to bring best practices from you know, different leagues,

523
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 12: different industries as you mentioned, and bring all of that

524
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 12: and synthesize that into how we can bring that to

525
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 12: the Seattle and you know, continue this this excellence and

526
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 12: continue to sustain this level of competitives that we have

527
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 12: in this organization.

528
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 4: Well, tell us about your time in Memphis, because you've

529
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: got mutual friend in Rich Show, who I know helped

530
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 4: you a lot, and he was a good friend back

531
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: here in Seattle when he was with the Sonics a

532
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: long time ago, and we had an NBA team here.

533
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: You know what did that time in Memphis with the

534
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 4: NBA teach you more about the game and make you

535
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 4: more prepared for this job?

536
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, just a quick note on Rich.

537
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 12: I mean Rich really has changed the trajectory of my career.

538
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 12: I mean his phone call to me when I was

539
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 12: at MIT. I wasn't thinking about, you know, a move

540
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 12: in that way, and I wasn't pursuing a job in

541
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 12: the NBA. He gave me that call and it really

542
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 12: changed everything. So my time in Memphis was really impactful

543
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 12: for me, you know, leaving the Boston area, experiencing a

544
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 12: different part of the country, experience a different league. It

545
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 12: was four seasons. It felt like a crash course and

546
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 12: the highest level of basketball and the men's side possible.

547
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 12: You know, I loved every second of it. I really

548
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 12: soaked everything up like a sponge and made some really

549
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 12: really great friendships along the way down there as well.

550
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 4: And when you hired on in the NBA, you became

551
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 4: the first woman of Indian descent ever to coach in

552
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 4: the NBA. You're now the first person of Indian descent

553
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 4: to be the head coach in either league. So what

554
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 4: does that mean to you?

555
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 12: It's an honor to be able to be in that position.

556
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 12: I want to make sure that I do what I

557
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 12: can to further those opportunities for the next generation. But

558
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 12: you know, it's certainly a responsibility that they don't take lightly.

559
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 4: This is a fascinating situation that you come into, and

560
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: Seattle is not alone. I mean, almost every team only

561
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: has a small handful of players due to the expiring

562
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 4: collective bargaining agreement. So a lot of the players decided, hey,

563
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: at the end of the twenty twenty five season, I

564
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: want to be a free agent because I got no

565
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 4: idea what's coming next. So you only have four players

566
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 4: on the roster right now. So how hard is that

567
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 4: to kind of, you know, build a team and kind

568
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 4: of foresee what you want twenty twenty six to look

569
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: like When you only have you know, basically forty percent

570
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 4: of your roster, less than forty percent of your roster

571
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: right now, you know.

572
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 12: We'll get there. I think that one of the things

573
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 12: about this organization is they've positioned us really well in

574
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 12: our front office, and tulus Aria has positioned this team really,

575
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 12: really well for this coming season. Obviously, all the teams

576
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 12: are in the same boat in terms of not having

577
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 12: a lot of people under contract, but there's so much flexibility.

578
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 12: You know, we have great draft pick positions as well,

579
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 12: so we're really really positioned to be able to compete

580
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 12: for the best and continue to compete for championships.

581
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: Well, you do have a couple of special players on

582
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 4: that roster, including the second overall pick last year, who

583
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 4: just absolutely bursted onto the scene in the second half

584
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 4: of the season. Give us your thoughts on don Along

585
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: as a player, because it just seems like she's got

586
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 4: super starred and written all over.

587
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 12: The sky's a limit for dom. I'm really excited to

588
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 12: start working with her, learn more about her, and you know,

589
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 12: see what all the different possibilities are for her. I

590
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 12: think my responsibility is to help her to reach her fullotential,

591
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 12: and I'm excited to do that and I'm excited to see,

592
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 12: you know, where we can go. I think it's going

593
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 12: to be really unique and something that we haven't seen

594
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 12: in basketball before. And you know, she she is a

595
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 12: generational talent and just it's it's such an exciting thing

596
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 12: for this fan base to be able to, you know,

597
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 12: go watch her every single night.

598
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: New Storm coach Sonya Raman joining us here at ninety

599
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: three point three KJRFM just a couple more minutes. So,

600
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 4: and to wrap things up with finding out who you

601
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: are as a coach, let's talk about the style of

602
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 4: basketball that the Seattle Storm will play that we'll get

603
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 4: to watch a climate pledge starting in May.

604
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 12: The Storm we're going to compete, We're going to try

605
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 12: to get better every day. We're going to do it together.

606
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 12: There's going to be a selflessness and a celebration of

607
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 12: each other, and we're going to do it with joy.

608
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 12: So that those are going to be the things that

609
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 12: you're going to see hopefully every day. You know I

610
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 12: practice at games that will be our identity and you know,

611
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 12: as far as me, I think like building those relationships

612
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 12: with the players, know, being really driven to try to

613
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 12: find find ways to unlock how good we can possibly be,

614
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 12: and you know, be be really competitive and really prepared

615
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 12: every day.

616
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 4: Well, you played it tough, so you coached at MI

617
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 4: T So I mean I think the word the word

618
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 4: genius comes to mind.

619
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 9: I think of somebody with that with that resume.

620
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 4: I know you're not going to call yourself a genius,

621
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 4: but talk about your strengths as a coach.

622
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 12: No, I'm definitely not going to call myself that I

623
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 12: coached some geniuses along the way. You know, I wasn't

624
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 12: the person who was actually at MIT as a student.

625
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 12: My strength as a coach, I think I can find

626
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 12: different ways to connect with people, you know, and find

627
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 12: ways to put groups together. I mean, I think t

628
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 12: you know, every year we sort of had the roster turnover,

629
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 12: We sort of had to wait for admissions to let

630
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 12: us know who is going to be on the team,

631
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 12: so you couldn't plan a system too far in advance.

632
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 12: And being able to be adaptable and resilient and get

633
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 12: the most out of any combination of players that we have.

634
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 12: And I think also just utilizing the resources and some

635
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 12: of my background as well, you know, being able to

636
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 12: lean into film, into data, into analytics. But also that

637
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 12: feel when you're watching a game, when you're sitting down

638
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 12: with a player and listening to them and you know

639
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 12: what they're looking to do, what their pain points are,

640
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 12: what their challenges are, I think is really important as well.

641
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 4: And finally filling out your staff. You mentioned in your

642
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: press conference you wanted to hire assistance that fill your gaps.

643
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: So you know what are your gaps and what type

644
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: of assistance are you looking for?

645
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 12: I mean, I mean one thing is I've only been

646
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 12: in the w for a year now, right, so you know,

647
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 12: people with with that type of experience are going to

648
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 12: be really important to me. You know, someone who's maybe

649
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 12: played in the league before. You know, that's going to

650
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 12: be really valuable for me to lean on a former

651
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 12: player in that way. So yeah, I mean I have

652
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 12: a lot of gaps, I think, you know, that's that's

653
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 12: the fun part about coaching is you always you always

654
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 12: have areas where you can get better. And I think

655
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 12: most of all, just like good people that you want

656
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 12: to work with every day that are going to bring

657
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 12: energy into the building that are going to be really

658
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 12: positive and pour into our players. I really want to

659
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 12: see people like that, you know, as part of our organization.

660
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,560

00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: you know what it's like to be a climate plag

663
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: arena as the other team.

664
