1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: The NFL champions, the Seaattlesyhawks have won Super Bowl forty eight.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: As part of our non stop coverage of the NFL,

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: this is Softy's weekly visit with Kevin Harlan.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: He's a bulldozer.

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 3: He's a beat.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Twin Peaks in tuck Willa open

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 2: every Sunday morning, just in time for kickoff.

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 4: He was like a pinball banging off Buddy. He's a

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 4: twenty three yard catch it run.

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: To catch every game, every bite and every sip only

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: at Twin Peaks Tuck Willa.

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 4: Hit the touchdown, hit the touchdown hits gubb byke curse

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 4: Now with Kevin.

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: Here's Softy and the shotgun formation hurts. Let's over the events.

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Shotgun snap five man rush flips his hand pass.

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 4: It's intercepted up the middle of the twenty coming in

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 4: the near side twenty five. Then the players hit the

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 4: ball's shot three hurts kick it.

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 3: Up, he loses the ball.

20
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: The ball's rowing here sideline recovered at the forty five.

21
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 4: As they try to uncangle the bodies, the Chargers have

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: gotten little oh. I think everybody touch that Paul on

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: that play, bouncing from one player to the next I want.

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: To call what a call?

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 5: What a guy joining us right now on a Friday night,

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 5: normally on Wednesday, by the way, courtesy of our friends

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 5: at Twin Peaks Tuck Willa, but we got him here

28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 5: on a Friday before the NFL weekend begins. I was

29
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 5: down at Twin Peaks today talking to my friend Brad,

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 5: and all you could do is talk about how great

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 5: it is to have a nice relationship with the play

32
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 5: by play voice of Westwood One, the NFL, and CBS.

33
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 5: Everybody loves Kevin Harlan at Twin Peaks and he's with

34
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 5: us right now on the radio program.

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: Kevin, how are you, man?

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. What a lead in there. You know, Brad,

37
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: and that we're talking about you the other day we

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: just said, what a kind, thoughtful, courteous chum you are

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: to both of us. We love your friendship and we

40
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: love being associated with this great station. In your show.

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we appreciate you being a little flexible.

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 5: I don't believe any of that, by the way, but

43
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 5: we appreciate you being a little flexible for us.

44
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: We got a big weekend in the NFL coming up.

45
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 5: Seahawks had the number one seed, the bye, waiting to

46
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 5: see who they play next weekend.

47
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: But let me ask you this.

48
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 5: Before we talk about the playoff games and the bracket man.

49
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 5: Lots of movement with coaches in the NFL. Pete Carroll

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 5: gone after a year in Vegas, John Harbaugh gone after

51
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: eighteen years on the job in Baltimore. Lots of openings

52
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: I think seven Now what in the NFL did any

53
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 5: of the firings surprise you?

54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: By the way, from the last couple of.

55
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Days those two did in Vegas and in Baltimore. I

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: think they probably caught a lot of people by surprise.

57
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: I thought they'd give a little bit more time to Pete.

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: They had struck out on some of their free agent acquisitions.

59
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: Of course, the team is in desperate need of a

60
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: total redo. Maybe they felt like, at his age, this

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: was not the kind of direction they wanted to go.

62
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he has such a great

63
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: influence on the culture of an organization. He's exactly what

64
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: they need, a positive for us, a guy who's won

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: leadership skills that are on question. I don't think what

66
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: he inherited is probably, you know, indicative of what kind

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: of coach he is, and I think he was just

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: a victim of circumstance, quite frankly. And then the same

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: maybe for John Harbaugh as well. He had been there

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: eighteen years. That kind of surprised me, not that I

71
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: hadn't said it and known it, but when you think

72
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: about eighteen years as a head coach with one team

73
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: in the league, like Tomlin and Belichick before them, it

74
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: was with the Patriots for what twenty twenty one years,

75
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: you just don't see that on a regular basis, But

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: with Harbaugh you did. There was a great relationship there

77
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: with the front off at the owner. I think a

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of this probably is associated with Lamar and maybe

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: his receptiveness to coordinators. I'm like, I don't know, I

80
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: have really no feel for why this thing happened. Word

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: will come out here over the next couple of days,

82
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: but there have been rumblings that Jackson was maybe a

83
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: little bit aloof, maybe a little bit Raheem Morris down

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. But at the same time, they've had eight

85
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: consecutive non playoff seasons and that's too much for any

86
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: ownership to really bear with that making some kind of change,

87
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: and they did so. I think I think hardball is

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: going to end up someplace faster than we can say

89
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: he's left. I would I'm assuming Pete Carroll still wants

90
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: some kind of role in football. What that would be,

91
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think he still has

92
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: many good years ahead of him. But at the same time,

93
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: maybe just feel, you know what, I'm in my mid seventies.

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: I've given so much of my life to the game.

95
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Maybe there's another chapter that he wants to write, and

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: it's going to do something outside of football together.

97
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, remember before he took the Raider job, he was

98
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: actually teaching at USC, got a job down there as

99
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 5: like a professor, professor of what. I have no idea,

100
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: but he was involved with the kids in the classroom

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 5: at USC, and I would not be surprised Kevin if

102
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: he went back to doing that. But Kevin Harlin's with

103
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 5: us on the air courtesy at Twin Peaks, Tuck Willa

104
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 5: no need to do. Where will Kevin be for TV

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 5: Sunday because he's calling the Texan Steelers on radio on

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 5: Monday night after doing the Badgers and Wolverines for CBS

107
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: on the court on Saturday.

108
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: So busy weekend for you coming up.

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 5: But you're going to be on the radio the rest

110
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 5: of the way for the NFL playoffs and talk to

111
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 5: us about our Seahawks. Man fourteen and three, number one seed,

112
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: dominated the Niners on Saturday.

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: Had the ball for thirty eight minutes.

114
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: In that game went down there without a couple of

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 5: missfield goals and a first in gold drive that ended

116
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: at the one yard line and did not score, they

117
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: would have thumped him twenty six to three game. So

118
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 5: what's the narrative you think on the Seahawk football team

119
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 5: as the playoffs are about to begin.

120
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: I think that the national narrative is that everything is

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: in lockstep with a championship run. And the greatest thing

122
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: that probably has emerged is that they have rediscovered or

123
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: finally found the run game, which was so apparent in

124
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: the win over the forty nine ers. People continually diss

125
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, the value of a running back. At the

126
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: end of the day, if you talked any coach, they'll say,

127
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: we've got to run the ball, we got to stop

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: the run. They begin every conversation, how are you going

129
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: to win? We got to run the ball and we

130
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: got to stop the run. And what did they do?

131
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: They took Karen McCaffrey wasn't a factory. They played the

132
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: aggressive defense we've been seeing. The defensive fields has gotten better,

133
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: more in sync as the season has gone on. I

134
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: could probably say the same with the offensive line. And

135
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: those two running backs were just sensational. And a quarterback's

136
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: best friend is a good running game. Darnold never blinked.

137
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: His game was on par with some of his best

138
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: of the year, but that running game was the key.

139
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: And if they can continue to run the ball just

140
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: like that, this team is going to go all the

141
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: way to Super Bowl sixty.

142
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, which you'll be on the call for that game

143
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: for west Wood one. I just want an excuse to

144
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 5: come see you, by the way, so hoping the Hawks

145
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: will be there in San Francisco.

146
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: Last time we were there was for the What.

147
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: If I get up there for the playoffs? What if

148
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: I get up there next weekend? What if I get

149
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: up there for the weekend after that for the championship game?

150
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: Do you know which conference title home you're calling it?

151
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Don't, Okay, I don't, I don't, But I'm just saying

152
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: we can dream. I can dream A night with you

153
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: at one of the great eateries preferably Twin Peaks and

154
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: see Brad, that would be like number one on my list.

155
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: That would be tremendous.

156
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 5: Hey, if you're in town and you want to go

157
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 5: to Twin Peaks, time will it hit me? And let's

158
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: let's talk about the weekend coming up, because we've been

159
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: kicking this around like, hey, who do you want?

160
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: Who do you not want?

161
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: You know, most of us will say right now, we

162
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: want to avoid the Rams if we can. But if

163
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 5: there's an upset this weekend, and technically Green Bay is

164
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: actually favored over Chicago, right despite being a lower seed

165
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: San Francisco beating Philadelphia, Carolina beating the Rams. Uh, I

166
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 5: guess Green Bay over Chicago from a seating perspective, which

167
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 5: upset would surprise you the least.

168
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles are coming to Seattle for the

169
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: championship game. I'm just gonna put you put it right there. Yep, really, okay,

170
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: I just saw I just saw the Eagles, but I

171
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: just saw their backups this past weekend. I think I

172
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: think it's it's hard to beat a defending champion and

173
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: that's what the Eagles are. And I think they're gonna

174
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: come out and play some magnificent football and they're gonna

175
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: have to go across country and beat the Seahawks to

176
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: get to the Super And I think that's my championship game.

177
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what, man, this uh this Seawk

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: football team against Philadelphia. I I don't know, Maybe I

179
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 5: just am getting cocky here, but I would I would

180
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: feel pretty good.

181
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: About that matchup against Philadelphia.

182
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: I just feel like, what't you feel good about it?

183
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: The Rams give me a little bit of you know,

184
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 5: stomach pains, you know whatever, So get I mean, what.

185
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 3: About in the a f C.

186
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the a f C, because I think

187
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 5: a lot of people are just waiting for Denver to fall.

188
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 5: They're waiting for the Patriots to fall. Uh and experienced

189
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: quarterback like an Aaron Rodgers or a Josh Allen? Uh

190
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 5: Is there is there really a possibility in the a

191
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 5: f C in your mind for maybe a six or

192
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: a seven seed to make a run through this thing?

193
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Yes? I could easily see that, if I'm not mistaken.

194
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't Roethlisberger and the Steelers that year the FIEF played

195
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: Green Bay and Super.

196
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: No, it was against US and set in Detroit.

197
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: What was that?

198
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: They were a six seed when they be us in Detroit?

199
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: No, who was what was what was Pittsburgh though against

200
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay and that Super Bowl and in was it

201
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty six?

202
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.

203
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 5: Just I just know when they beat us, they were

204
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: what they were the sixth seed in the a f C.

205
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: And I think and I think they were a low

206
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: seed and they beat Green Bay or they they got

207
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and played Green Bay. So listen,

208
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is a division winner. So there number there where

209
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: they are and they're not the deep seed. Something tells

210
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: me with Metcalf coming back, and I know he'll be

211
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: incredibly effective after being suspended for the two games with

212
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: Rogers know how his ability to manipulate defenses and control

213
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: a game at the line of scrimmage. They're running back

214
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: tandem of Gainwell, Uh and Warren. We're about as effective

215
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: as your running back pair up there with Walker and Sear.

216
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: I could I could easily see a stealer run here.

217
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: They've got a game against Houston and that's gonna be

218
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: difficult because their defense is so good. But I kind

219
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: of like Pittsburgh in that game. And then I like

220
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: the Bills. I just I just I know they're playing

221
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Perepoint talking about Jacksonville win there. I'm gonna

222
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: go with Josh Allen in that one, and uh, you know,

223
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the AFC is wide open,

224
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: the NFC is wide open, although I do favorite Seattle overall,

225
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: and I would say in the a f C, Uh,

226
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: it has a lot more unknown than known and it's

227
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna take. And that's that's why I talk about Pittsburgh.

228
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: You've got a quarterback who truly is in a sweet

229
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: spot right now with where he is in his first

230
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: year with the Steelers and all that. Know how, that's

231
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to beat. I really believe I. I

232
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be very hard to beat. So we'll

233
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: see what happens. Sentimentally, it'd be great to see Josh

234
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Allen get to a super Bowl. You know he's been,

235
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: He's you know, Burrow is gone. We know Mahomes has

236
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: gone multiple times. And the other guy they talked about her,

237
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: the other two guys that talk about jackson was not

238
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna go. Uh and Josh Allen. I would like to

239
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: see Allen get a chance on the big stage.

240
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: All right, So I've I've done something here. Kevin.

241
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 5: Kevin Harlan courtesy at Twin Peaks, by the way, normally

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 5: with us on Wednesday, but he's here on a Thursday night.

243
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 5: I've done something here I never do. I've done some

244
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 5: actual research for this.

245
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: Sesment that is that this is a stunner done done

246
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: un so.

247
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: According to Google, AI, Pittsburgh was the number two seed,

248
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 5: green Bay was the sixth seed.

249
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: That may have been I.

250
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Got him mixed up, did right? Okay? Then the year

251
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking then is against you guys? Was that with

252
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: that there were there were the seven seed? Then they

253
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: were year correct, there was the seed that that that's

254
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: where Okay, Yeah, that I was, I was wrong.

255
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: I'd like to I'd like to thank you for bringing

256
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 5: that game up because I thought that scar had healed,

257
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: and twenty years later, clearly it is not healed. Relying

258
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 5: that up, well, Kevin, there's been some talk.

259
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: Well, the point was is that the AFC is wide open. Yeah,

260
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: and I think any of the any of the seven

261
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: seeds can go. We could see a low seed, and

262
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: it's happened before and I think I think it could

263
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: easily happen again. Because there doesn't seem to be a

264
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: great deal difference in the AFC from one to seven.

265
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 5: Every year a team with a sub five hundred record

266
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: makes the playoffs. We have this conversation, right, Remember the

267
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: Seahawks did it in twenty ten with a beast quake run.

268
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 5: The Carolina Panthers with Cam Newton did it right, and

269
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 5: now Carolina has done it again, that they should recede

270
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 5: that in no world does Carolina have a right to

271
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 5: host a playoff game against the LA Rams that you

272
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 5: want to give division titles out, fine, but if you're

273
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: under five hundred, you're on the road. That they should

274
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 5: reseed this by record come playoff time. Do you agree

275
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 5: with that?

276
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: Well, does it minimize the importance of winning your division?

277
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: Yes?

278
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: And that does it minimize, you know, having to gear

279
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: up and play the same team in your division twice

280
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: and three of them, and play three different teams twice

281
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: And and I and I think the cry has always

282
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: been from these coaches, you know, win your division and

283
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: then we'll see where we are. And some divisions are

284
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: ridiculously good, like the NFC West, the division you're in,

285
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: And then some are appear to be traditionally weak, like

286
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: the NFC South, but they play those teams and they

287
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: play each other all those times you you you play

288
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: half of your schedule basically against teams in your division,

289
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: and and I think there has to be some value

290
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: to that. Otherwise you're just throwing those those sixteen teams

291
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: from each conference and and you're you're shaking them up

292
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and divisions don't matter. But uh, and of course we

293
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: see interconference play, we see all different kind of formations

294
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: with the schedule. But the one thing that kind of

295
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: keeps things going and hope alive is going back to

296
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: what Seattle did in that game where they held a

297
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: division championship and they beat New Orleans, and New Orleans

298
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: was a heavily favored team, if I'm not mistaked. I

299
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: don't know what the Saints were favored for in that game,

300
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: but I think it was significant in playoff terms. So

301
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they'll continue to look at

302
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: at the Competition Committee, I think visits this question every

303
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: single year, and and they're very smart minds that that

304
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: know all the different ramifications, equations and recipes that are

305
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: involved with you know, having divisions, not having divisions. But

306
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: there there is a value there, and I think we

307
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: can probably find some historical value that would point to

308
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: keeping it the way it is, and and yeah, you're

309
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a down year and you're gonna have incredible years,

310
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: like your three teams from your division all making the playoffs. Yeah,

311
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: and the South was weak, yet they're gonna get a

312
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: chance because they won their division and played all those

313
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: teams twice. That that earned something. So I yeah, no,

314
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: I there there arguments both ways. I don't know if

315
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: I give you which way I lean, but but I

316
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: would I would agree either way. Yeah, sure, let's let's

317
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: reced and put the Rams should be hosting a game.

318
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: There's there's no doubt about it. But then you look

319
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: in your division, uh, the NFC West for instance, and

320
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: you see all these teams with double digit wins. You know,

321
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think right now the league has

322
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: got a pretty good setup, and I don't I don't

323
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: foresee it changing, right.

324
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hawks were ten and a half point dogs in

325
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 5: that game, by the way, against the Saints.

326
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: I have that number burned into my brain. And this

327
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: is what happened?

328
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: And how how good was New Orleans? There were division

329
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: champ right, and and a double did a winning team

330
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees is the quarterback, right.

331
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 3: Right, correct, coming off coming off the title the year.

332
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: Before, Thank you, thank you so so? How how great

333
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: was that win? And we're talking about it all these

334
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: years later, about the run, about the win, and about

335
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: what that meant for your franchise. Yeah, I like it.

336
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 5: Beastquake doesn't resonate nearly as much if it happened on

337
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 5: the road. One of the reasons why that's a memorable, great,

338
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 5: legendary run is because of what it did to that stadium.

339
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 5: You know, the earthquake that was caused by it, all

340
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 5: that stuff.

341
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: Man.

342
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 5: But Kevin, before you go, Kevin Harlan's with us, I

343
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 5: want to just get your thoughts on Sam Darnold. You

344
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 5: mentioned the Hawks. You think the Hawks will play the

345
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 5: Eagles in the NFC Championship.

346
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: I would take that. I would take that and run

347
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 3: right now.

348
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: But there still are a lot of people in Seattle

349
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 5: and across the country that are waiting for Sam Darnold

350
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 5: to fall flat on his face.

351
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: Do they have reason to expect that that might happen?

352
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. I think his moment

353
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: of uh of pause was during that little stretch when

354
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: they when they staggered there for a couple of weeks,

355
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the turnovers were piling up and and the team had

356
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hiccup, and they survived the

357
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: speed bump. They moved on. They finished strong and and

358
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: Darnold has looked like what we have seen the majority

359
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: of the time these last two seasons. I mean, look

360
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: at all the wins he's piled up in these last

361
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: two years. Two different teams, two different kind of styles,

362
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: yet the quarterback has been the same. No one's perfect,

363
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: and no one expected the season for the Hawks to

364
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: be perfect, but they weathered what was a bit of

365
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: a pause in the success of their season individually and

366
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: team wise, and they came out I think stronger because

367
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: of it. Now. I think a lot of that has

368
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: to do with the head coach. I think he is

369
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: brilliant in so many ways and what he's done and

370
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: his command over that team. But a lot of it, too,

371
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: was on the shoulders of Darnald. How he did not

372
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: get stuck in any kind of narrative about well in

373
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: the wild card game last year, and the way he

374
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: finished with Minnesota and Detroit and that horrific loss against

375
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: the Lions last year, and if he was ever going

376
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: to have a moment where he had to face those

377
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: demons again. He did it in the regular season, and

378
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: he conquered it. I think they've got incredible momentum headed toward,

379
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: headed toward this bye week and then find out who

380
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: they're going to play the next week. I'm not a

381
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: big fan of the buy. I get it for the rest.

382
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: I think these guys are routine guys, and I think

383
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: there's a big benefit in that. But at the same time,

384
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: at this time of the year, you need to rest,

385
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: You need to kind of reassess where you are, appreciate

386
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: what you've accomplished, and certainly sharpen your tools for what's ahead.

387
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna check all those boxes and do

388
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: everything in that regard. I think they'll come out ready

389
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: to play very very well. So I don't see any

390
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 1: slippage with Darnald from this point on. And I think

391
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: if there was ever going to be anything, maybe the

392
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: eyebrows were raised a little bit when he was struggling

393
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: there whatever part of the season that was last third

394
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: of the year, there was that what two three four games,

395
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: right Dave at the two two.

396
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 5: Really yeah Cardinals rams. He had seven turnovers in two.

397
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: Games, Thank you, But he came out I think stronger.

398
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: So that personal opinion, I think he came out stronger.

399
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: I think whatever would have been haunting him from what

400
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: happened maybe at the end of last year was vanquished

401
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: by the way he finished this year and what we're

402
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: going to see in the upcoming postseason.

403
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,320

406

00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:42,920

00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,760

439
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: Dick?

440
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: Yesterday was the fifteen year anniversary of the Beast Quake

441
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 5: run against the Saints. Let's revisit two calls Dick from

442
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 5: that game. First, the NBC TV call with Tom Hammond

443
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 5: and Mike Mayock.

444
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 6: Crowd silent now as opposed to when the Saints have

445
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 6: the ball hold, Look at this run, get a run

446
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 6: Marshaon Lynz stars, feed past blockers.

447
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 3: Now he's dancing his way to the touchdown.

448
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 7: That's as good as the effort as I've ever seen

449
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 7: in my life from a running back. Downhill, physical and

450
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 7: down the field.

451
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: You're gonna see.

452
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 7: Matt hassel back in the whole offensive line. He creates

453
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 7: the tackle of Shanley, runs through Sharper, runs through Adell,

454
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 7: run school Jafari fer Get off me, he says to

455
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 7: Tracy Porter.

456
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: Wow, tell you what, man, it still gives you a uh.

457
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 5: The hair on your forearm still stands up after all

458
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 5: these years not hearing that call.

459
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 8: We needed was the first down too. I was at

460
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 8: the game, and all we needed was the first down.

461
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 8: I was like, I was celebrating because he got the

462
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 8: first down, and I was like, wait a second, he's

463
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 8: not down yet. He's still not down.

464
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 5: Unbelievable. Well, how about this if you've never heard this one?

465
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 5: More on the beast quake call. That's the call everybody

466
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 5: knows from Tom Hammond and Mike Mayock. How about the

467
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 5: same Spanish radio broadcast featuring Emilio Peralta and Marco Garcia

468
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 5: on w f N O eight point thirty in New Orleans.

469
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the pusher says capos. Wow, he's that, Cupo

Speaker 5: too fired up for the Saints Spanish radio broadcast?

475
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: That's the Saints guy, right.

476
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 5: I've also heard, you know, Spanish soccer announcers go wild

477
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: for goals for either team. So you're saying they're not

478
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 5: as uh impartial as other broadcasters are partial. They're not

479
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 5: as partial. Okay, well, I'll tell you what, man, that's

480
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 5: never gonna get old, dude, never gonna get freaking old.

499
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 9: things have never read something and watched a hockey game.

500
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 3: At the same time. That's how I got to say

501
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,320

504
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 5: Give me a favor and just read the damn thing.

505
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: You know what, though, I tell you what, man, I

506
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 5: always wonder how clients react.

507
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: To things like that. That's great promotion for them.

508
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 5: We're not playing that read again unless foreselin busting their

509
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 5: balls on the air.

510
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're.

511
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 5: Willing to have a little bit of fun, right and

512
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: not be sensitive about stuff, a little bit of extra

513
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 5: promotion like that never hurt anybody.

514
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 8: No, No, I mean I've I've had numerous conversations with

515
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 8: the people that write my spots for the Storm game saying, oh.

516
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 3: Dud, this is this is too long. How can we

517
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: truncate this? Well, I'll tell you what.

518
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 5: I'm more of a Delta guy myself, but I get it, man,

519
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: I get it all right.

520
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: Hi, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

521
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: What's that?

522
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 3: All right? COMO for us, Chris.

523
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: Daniels, our buddy, sat down with the new Seattle mayor,

524
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 5: Katie Wilson for an interview this week and had this

525
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 5: back and forth about the possible return of the NBA

526
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 5: and the SuperSonics.

527
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 10: I'm going to end with a question that I've asked

528
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 10: six other mayors, Wow, Greg Nichols, Mike McGinn, Ed Murray,

529
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 10: Tim Burgess, Bruce Harold, Jenny Durkin, Because the city does

530
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 10: have a financial interest in Seattle Center and what happens

531
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 10: at Seattle Center, and there has been a story spanning

532
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 10: all of these mayors about the Sonics leaving Seattle and

533
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 10: whether they'll ever come back. So you're the seventh mayor,

534
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 10: I'm asking now about this, what are you going to

535
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 10: do to bring.

536
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: The Sonics back?

537
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 11: I think we have a really good shot, that's all

538
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 11: I'm gonna say.

539
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: There.

540
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 11: It actually wasn't, but yeah, I don't regret it.

541
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 5: I don't think she has any idea what the hell

542
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 5: she's talking about, but that's just me.

543
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 3: It's possible.

544
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 5: I also think this that she's going to play no

545
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: role in the return.

546
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 3: At the arena is done.

547
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 5: I mean, the reason why this was a question for

548
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 5: previous mayors was because of the arena.

549
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: She may reap the benefits of it. That term, she

550
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 3: might be.

551
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 8: A saying, hey, you know I was the mayor when

552
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 8: the Sonics came back.

553
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 5: Well I would do that, I her. You know why,

554
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 5: because people are stupid and they'll buy that. I was

555
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 5: on the watch when the Sonics came back, and there's

556
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 5: people out there that will buy that and might even

557
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 5: vote for her because of it. But you know, look,

558
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 5: I mean I don't think she really has any idea

559
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 5: about any of this. Stuff, just my personal opinion. But

560
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 5: I also don't think that the mayor's office at this

561
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 5: point will play any.

562
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: Role whatsoever in the NBA returning. All right, Hey, Dick

563
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 3: and yea, happen to hear what's that? All right? Five six,

564
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: seven eight, you picked Jackson five five.

565
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 5: Yesterday on ESPN, college football reporter Pete Thamil talked about

566
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 5: how the Demon Williams situation is a turning point for

567
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 5: the sports and the future of paying athletes.

568
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 12: People really think this is a flashpoint for the future

569
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 12: of college athletics. It quite frankly, Brian has been an

570
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 12: embarrassment to the sport that they can't get valid contracts done.

571
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 12: And look, I had one head coach called me today

572
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 12: and he said, I don't even know who to call

573
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 12: when somebody's tampering. I don't even know who's in charge. Basically,

574
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 12: and in this moment in time, here is a symptom

575
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 12: of bigger problems all around the sport of college athletics.

576
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: People.

577
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 12: The NCAA technically is in charge of tampering. The CSC,

578
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 12: newly formed, is in charge of a flory of things,

579
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 12: but none of them are tampering in this case. Tampering

580
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 12: is so prevalent Brian that there's really no way to

581
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 12: enforce it. It's become a way of life, and recent legal

582
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 12: rulings have even made it hard for the NCAA. Informed

583
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 12: tampering Tennessee took the Ncate of court within the last

584
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 12: few months. In the ruling and injunction there made it

585
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 12: hard for the Ncate enforce its own rules. So this

586
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 12: is a complicated time. There's nobody really in charge and

587
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 12: everyone is looking at Demand Williams's situation for answers for

588
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 12: the future of how college football works.

589
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 9: Now.

590
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 5: When we talked about this the other day that just

591
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 5: like Phil Luckett, I thought the helmet was a football

592
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 5: was influential and instant replay. Well, this the demand incident

593
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 5: be influential in changing college football.

594
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: You know.

595
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 5: Aaron Fentriss, by the way, works for the Oregonian. He

596
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 5: sent me a tweet today. Maybe he's just being a

597
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 5: smart ass because he has a smart ass. By the way,

598
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 5: that nobody outside of Seattle cares about Demon Williams, which

599
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 5: is ridiculous. Wow, you got that guy right there on

600
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 5: ESPN Serious Radio had me on the ear today talking

601
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 5: about it. Everybody around the country's talking about Demon Williams,

602
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: and everybody understands how this might influence the future of

603
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: college athletics. So when doults like that say things like that,

604
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 5: it's just ignoramus to the fullest.

605
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

606
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 5: This might be honestly, I mean Dick winning the National

607
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 5: Championship in ninety one, playing for the championship, the Boys

608
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 5: in the Boat, and the Olympics back in the day.

609
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: This could be the most.

610
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: Influential moment in Washington sports history as far as the

611
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 5: impact on the rest of the country.

612
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 8: What just happened yesterday and your president becoming the NCAA president,

613
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 8: that would.

614
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: Be one as well.

615
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 8: But I think as horrible as the timing was when

616
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 8: he made his first announcement announcement during the memorial service,

617
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 8: the timing couldn't have been better for Washington to have

618
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 8: it come down an hour before the nasal, half hour

619
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 8: before the National Championship semi final, and it be broken

620
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 8: on ESPN while everybody's watching the pregame.

621
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 5: Well, everybody knows who he is now and if it's

622
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 5: a popularity contest, and we'll see what that popularity does.

623
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 3: Come I'm come August and the polls.

624
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 5: We're gonna break Mike McDonald, Seahawk head coach, joined Chuck

625
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,600

641
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,320

642
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,280

643
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,680

Speaker 5: and Buck and Ashley earlier this morning.

649
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 14: How much did you allow yourself your team to celebrate

650
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 14: a little bit the accomplishment of the regular season before

651
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 14: diving into, obviously the meat and potatoes of a playoff run.

652
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, it's, uh, you definitely want to You definitely

653
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 11: want to enjoy and celebrate the wins.

654
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: Right we talk.

655
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 11: If we talked stacking wins and you never celebrate anything,

656
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 11: that'd be kind of a miserable existence. So you know,

657
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 11: you know, we're having the game on Saturday. It was

658
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 11: great because it let us have Sunday to kind of

659
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 11: recalibrate and put a plan together for the week two. So, uh,

660
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 11: you know, we had Sunday off, and then we came

661
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 11: in Monday and really started kind of executing our bie

662
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 11: week plan and off we went. So but it's it's

663
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 11: been great.

664
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 14: Clint Kubiak obviously supporting him and his pursuits to possibly

665
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 14: become a head coach himself versus his responsibilities to this team.

666
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 14: How are you handling that? How are you making sure

667
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 14: he handles his business as your offensive coordinator.

668
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 11: Well, one thing I really respect about Clint was as

669
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 11: this process started, the team is really, you know, the

670
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 11: absolute priority in his mind, and he made that very

671
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 11: clear in his actions back that up too, And so

672
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 11: I really feel like it's more my responsibility to give

673
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 11: him the kind of hey, like the great of the team, like, look,

674
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 11: we trust you handling your responsibilities.

675
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: This week.

676
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 11: You know, we're gonna have two days off as coaches

677
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 11: here on Friday and Saturday, and you can take advantage

678
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 11: of that time to interview with the teams that are

679
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 11: interested in with you, and then we'll go from there.

680
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 11: So he's been he's been a great partner, and obviously

681
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 11: he's done great things for our team and our offense,

682
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 11: and we expect that going forward and wishing the best

683
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 11: in the process. But you know, when it's a Seahawk time,

684
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 11: he's been, he's been right on it, and and I

685
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 11: know he's looking forward to really just kind of get

686
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 11: him back into a kind of a one track mind

687
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 11: here once these interviews are done.

688
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 14: Uh Sunday, Mike McDonald with us here on Chuck and

689
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 14: Buck in the Morning, Sports Radio ninety three point three.

690
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: K j R f M.

691
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 14: So let's talk about your quarterback. The entire nation, even

692
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 14: some people here locally seem really worried about his number

693
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 14: of turnovers. Why is Mike McDonald not worried about that

694
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 14: at all?

695
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: Yeah?

696
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 11: I think I think we're worried about what Sam does.

697
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: All the inputs.

698
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 11: You know, it's because it's it's it's easy to tell.

699
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 11: Like I've said this before, but when you start coaching outcomes,

700
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 11: that's that to me, that's like confusing as a player.

701
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 11: You know, like, uh, I don't know make like you

702
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 11: gotta make that tackle or you gotta like why don't

703
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 11: you get a sack on that play? Like, well, you

704
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 11: know why, why wouldn't you work? Why wouldn't you be

705
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 11: coaching me on where I went aligned and how I

706
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 11: got off the football and like the how I like

707
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 11: how I attack like the the contact zone in the rush,

708
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 11: or how I finished the play. Well, the same thing

709
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 11: with the quarterback. You know, it's what was your mentality

710
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 11: going to the play. Okay, let's coach your footwork up?

711
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 11: Where did your eyes start? How'd you see the read?

712
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 11: You know where you just cite it in that moment?

713
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 11: The way we want you to play. You know, I

714
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 11: think those are the things that are clear to a

715
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 11: player on how you want them to play. And if

716
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 11: you start coaching outcomes now you now, I think you're

717
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 11: going to start getting players on your team that aren't

718
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 11: playing the way you want and uh, you don't get

719
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 11: the style of play that we've been able to create.

720
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: And so.

721
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 11: You know, it's the most important position, and and and

722
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 11: Sam is a great player. But the way we coach

723
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 11: our guys is going to remain the same and and

724
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 11: that and that's and that's just how we're going to

725
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 11: roll here, you know. Is I just I believe that

726
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 11: that's definitely the way to do it.

727
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 5: Do you think he works out with the players, By

728
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 5: the way, McDonald, he's got some guns now, he does the.

729
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: Gym, little bench press.

730
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 8: I don't think he die with the guy in there

731
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 8: and work out with the guy.

732
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: Honestly.

733
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 8: I think he gets there at probably five fifteen.

734
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: In the morning and does it for an hour and

735
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: a half.

736
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 5: At that time, you think people would pay of like

737
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 5: a live stream of Mike McDonald working out at the vMac.

738
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 5: He shows up five o'clock, drops his bag off in

739
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 5: his office, heads down to the gym and just just

740
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 5: a live webcam just watching Mike McDonald work out.

741
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what.

742
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 9: Man.

743
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 5: We had Milan on earlier today and he doesn't like

744
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 5: to give predictions, but I guilted him into giving a prediction.

745
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: He thinks the Hawks are playing the Rams on this weekend.

746
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: I would bet that as well. I mean, I think

747
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 3: I thinks the Bears win, the Eagles win, the Rams win, right.

748
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 8: Yes, I feel most confident that the Rams will win.

749
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 8: I feel the second most confident that the Eagles will win.

750
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: I do think that.

751
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 8: I do think that the Packers have a puncher's chance.

752
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 8: But I don't know why it is flipped from Bears

753
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 8: favored to Packers favorite.

754
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 5: It's just it's hard to imagine, based on what we've

755
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 5: been programmed into our brain, that Ben Johnson beats Matt

756
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 5: Lafleur and Caleb Williams beats Jordan Love Right, that's hard

757
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 5: to imagine something like that happening.

758
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: But the Packers are favored in this game.

759
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people just wait till the

760
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 5: Bears fall flat on their face, and that Caleb Williams

761
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 5: might not be ready for a moment like this. I

762
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 5: mean Harlan likes the Eagles to play the Seahawks and

763
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 5: the NFC championship. We do know this, guys, because of

764
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 5: the parody in the NFL, there's going to be some

765
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 5: crazy upset in this wild CARDA is Well, I'm just saying,

766
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 5: where's it act?

767
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: Right?

768
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 3: Is it Carolina beating the ram.

769
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 8: That's the only crazy as that that there even could be.

770
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 8: I don't think any other I don't think any other

771
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 8: outcome can be seen as a crazy upsetde.

772
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 5: Well, from the spread perspective of the other game would

773
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 5: be the Niners getting six against Philadelphia, but I don't

774
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 5: think that's a crazy The next one is the Chargers

775
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 5: getting three and a half. So the two biggest upsets

776
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 5: would be the Carolina Panthers and the Niners winning. We're

777
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 5: gonna break Jedfish. You're not gonna want to miss this.

778
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 5: What the heck was the last two days?

779
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: Like?

780
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 5: Why should Husky fans be on board with Demon Williams
