I cannot wait. 71 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 4: No, I mean, the only thing to make it bigger 72 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 4: is if the Seahawk Game was in like November. But 73 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 4: obviously you're not playing baseball if that happens. But it 74 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 4: just yeah, I mean, you got, you know, four playoff 75 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: caliber teams. I mean two of them are in the 76 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 4: playoffs obviously, so four playoff caliber teams coming down here, 77 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 4: and you know the Seahawk Game is I mean, it's 78 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 4: kind of been pushed to the back burner, right, I mean, 79 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 4: it really has. I mean, you know, I put a 80 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 4: poll out the other day on social media, just kind 81 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 4: of asking people if you could watch one or the 82 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: other on Sunday, which one would you pick? And look, 83 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: I mean it was eighty five percent Mariners. And that's 84 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 4: the way it should be obviously. But we're not gonna 85 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: have to choose because both games are being played at 86 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 4: different times. And I think you brought this up, somebody, 87 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: they brought this up in the air. I wonder if 88 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: this is the day on Sunday where the Mariners TV 89 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: ratings wise locally finally outdraw the Seahawks, I don't know 90 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: if they will. I would still put money on the Seahawks, 91 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: by the way, but if you gave me plus one forty, 92 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: I'm a Mariners whatever one fifty, I might take him 93 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: to finally do it on Sunday. 94 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I would have given the Mariners up better shot 95 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 6: had the games been simultaneous, right, but since there you 96 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 6: will get to watch every one of the game, both 97 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 6: of the games in their entirety. 98 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 7: I still think the Seahawks probably will. 99 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 100 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: Now, I think you're right because the NFL is just 101 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: I mean again, it's the second round of the playoffs. 102 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 4: If this is the World Series, then different animal, I 103 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 4: think right at that point. 104 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 5: But look, man, I. 105 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: Just think you're right about the Hawkspit game being gigantic. 106 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: If you lose the game, you're essentially two games back 107 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 4: of San Francisco in the division. With the tipebreaker, you've 108 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 4: lost another NFC game, right, which you can't afford to 109 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 4: do that. I mean, this is a huge, huge day 110 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: for the Mariners and for the Seahawks. So I'll tell 111 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: you what our next guest.

And you know, these players are hungry, 180 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: they're excited, they're frankly in many cases at the peak 181 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: of their playing ability, and I think it's a it's 182 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: a time for us to bring it all together. We've 183 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: got eleven players that have been All Stars in the 184 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: last three years, you know, I think that's more than 185 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: any other team in baseball. We have a group of 186 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: guys that believe in each other, the culture that Dan's 187 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: created in the clubhouse, and along with Manny and Own 188 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: and Woody and you know, the whole gang, are doing 189 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: just such a great job of supporting the players. I mean, 190 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: the legacy, if there is one, is for the team, 191 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: the players to see. You know, Cal Rawly, Julio Rodriguez, 192 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: the starting pitchers, Mooney, you know, all those guys achieved 193 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,559 Speaker 1: their dream since they were playing Little League, of winning 194 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: a World Series, and that's what we're here to do. 195 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 6: I saw you down there on the field after you 196 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 6: guys won the division title, and you were shaking hands 197 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 6: and you were hugging, and I was wondering. 198 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 7: I was like, what's the emotion going through John right now? 199 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 7: I mean it was a relief, was it?

I mean what was going 201 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 7: through your mind and your heart at that time. 202 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: Well, I got a chance to thank a lot of 203 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: people that, you know, as much as they're twenty six 204 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: guys who played between the lines. There are probably a 205 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: thousand people that were working that night, and I get 206 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: it to is to thank those folks as well as 207 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: the folks that you know work here every day and 208 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: in accounting and HR and all. We had a celebration 209 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: out in the pen. We were going back and forth, 210 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: got a lot of steps that day. We were in 211 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: the clubhouse on the field taking a photo. Uh, then 212 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: out in the pen, celebrating with the with the employees, 213 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: with the front office staff. And then the cool thing 214 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: was a bunch of the players came out. You know, 215 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: wo I think is the one who said what's going 216 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: on on out in the pen? And I said, well, 217 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: that's where the employees are, and he said I want 218 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: to go out there. I'm sure that drove some people nuts, 219 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: but you know the meaning security and all that. But 220 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of the players went out and partied with 221 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: the staff because you know, they they live it every 222 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: single day, you know, and when we lose a game, 223 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, they get a hard time from their friends 224 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: and their family. And when we went again, they celebrate. 225 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: And you know it's where we have a wall up 226 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: on the fifth floor up in the offices that says 227 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: at the top one Mariners, imprinted language with the logo 228 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: and then signatures. You know, I've signed it. All the 229 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: owners have signed it, most of the players have signed it, 230 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: and everyone in the front office has signed it. And 231 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: we're trying to be live up to that motto of 232 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: one Mariners and be one organization that succeeds. 233 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 5: So we've been doing this for a long time. 234 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: I think they can combine like sixty years in this business, 235 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 4: right And I think it's important to Obviously there's room 236 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 4: for criticism and then there's room for compliments and praise, 237 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 4: and right now is the time where there's a lot 238 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 4: of good stuff going on, and you and the ball 239 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 4: club deserve some compliments and praise, there's no doubt. But 240 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 4: when that criticism comes, and you mentioned that, sometimes the 241 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 4: guys and the gals that work for you hear that 242 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 4: and they feel that. How much do you feel that, 243 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: how much do you live with it? And how much 244 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: does it bother you and drive you? 245 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: Well, let's start with I'm old, right, you know, I 246 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: hit that I've run a bunch of public companies. I've 247 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: started a bunch of businesses, some of which worked and 248 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: some of which didn't. And you know, I've gotten criticized 249 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: in what I do and maybe I've just you know, 250 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: got thicker skin now than I used to. But when 251 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: someone gives one of our young people a hard time 252 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: for something they had nothing to do with, that really 253 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: pisses me off. And you know, that's the only thing 254 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: that bothers me. And when you know, I know how 255 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: hard those players are working. I know, if somebody strikes 256 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: out three or four times, you know it's it's not 257 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: because they wanted to right it. You know it it's 258 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: a it's a dynamic. I think that, you know, this 259 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: sport requires patience. You got a one hundred and sixty 260 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: two games in the regular season. You know, you've got 261 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: a month of playoffs, You've got you know, you know 262 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: that's after six weeks of spring training. I mean, it's 263 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: a long season, you know. I joke with my friends 264 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: at the Seahawks, and when we get to the second 265 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: week of September, we've got the equivalent of one of 266 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: their seasons left, right, we got another fifteen games. And 267 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: I think that that, you know, you have to have patients. 268 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: You have to have patients with the criticism too. You 269 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: know the fact that we you know, got swept by someone, 270 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of the season. It may 271 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: have had to do with the pitching matchups. That may 272 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: have had to do with a flu bug going through 273 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: the clubhouse. It may just had to do with a 274 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: sequence of uh, you know, players not not having their 275 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: best games. But you know, when we conversely, when we 276 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: sweep a series, you know, the way we swept Detroit, 277 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's an exciting time. You know, we had 278 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: some amazing times. I was with the team in Boston, 279 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: New York and Williamsport in Atlanta, god of three different 280 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: trips during the season, and I saw, you know, a 281 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: resilience and and a commitment that they all had, you know, 282 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: and and a and a great attitude about you know, 283 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: what they're trying to accomplish. I mean, if you remember, 284 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: the Atlanta series came right after the uh, the Tampa 285 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: series that they they got swept in Tampa, they came 286 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: back and that Saturday game they came back and won, 287 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: scored a bunch of runs on the Saturday and the 288 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: Sunday games, and and left that road trip. You know, 289 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: that was still three and six. I think, uh, with 290 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: a with a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of 291 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: energy and came back and I think they swept the 292 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: home stand after that. So you know, it's it's it's 293 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: an up and down game. 294 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 6: You use the word dynamic there, and this team has 295 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 6: got that dynamic, and a lot of talented baseball teams don't. 296 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 6: Why do you think this one does? And where did 297 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 6: it come from? Were whom did it come from? I 298 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 6: think it's been grown over time. I mean, I look 299 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 6: at the uh, the players you know that that have 300 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 6: been with us. You know, I think JP has got 301 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 6: the longest tenure now, you know, I think they've built 302 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 6: it over time. I look at those pictures and you know, 303 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 6: in addition to the time that that that Logan and 304 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 6: George and Emerson have have spent, WU have spent in 305 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 6: the major leagues, they spent time together in the minor leagues. 306 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 6: I think that the you know, I've heard you guys 307 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 6: talk about it, the relationship that that cal built with 308 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 6: those guys moving from single A to long A to 309 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 6: double A, triple A and then eventually making it here. 310 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: And I think that that dynamic. A lot of those 311 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: guys have been together almost ten years now, and you 312 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: know that I think creates a camaraderie and you know 313 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: it's you know, frankly, it's like the two of you, right, 314 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean you finish each other's sentences in much the 315 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: same way. 316 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 5: Well you mentioned sometimes rudely, yeah, exactly how much how 317 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 5: much of this show do you here? I mean I 318 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 5: gotta ask you how much of that? How much talk? 319 00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: Ready? 320 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 5: Do you listen to? You flip on kJ R when 321 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 5: you're sitting in the park. 322 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: I do flip on KGr some. I have to confess 323 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: I probably listened to music more than I listen. I 324 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: have the ability to download and listen to the things 325 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: that are particularly interesting, okay, and I do that some. 326 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: And you know I even listened to your competitor every. 327 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 5: Wow there you go. 328 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 4: Well, I mean because we got passion, right, I mean, 329 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 4: this is something that we want very badly. And I've 330 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 4: mentioned on the ear John Stanton with us Marin or 331 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 4: chairman by the way from Jimmy's ye mentioned many times 332 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 4: that you know, and you use there patients there, right. 333 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 4: I think people Mariner fans have been just about his 334 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 4: patient as a fan base in sports waiting for a 335 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 4: world series, and there's people that have come and gone, 336 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 4: you know, Dick's dads in his nineties. My dad passed 337 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 4: away a couple of years ago. You know, he's not 338 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 4: going to get that chance. But there's people out there 339 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 4: that deserve that opportunity. How much do you feel like 340 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 4: you need to deliver that for them? 341 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: Oh? I absolutely. I think about a couple of three 342 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: people when I think about his and my mom was 343 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: passionate fan. My dad died, you know, fifty years ago now, 344 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: and my mom was a widow for a long time. 345 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: She listened to it or watched every game, and she 346 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: was passionate, and she she'd have questions after every game. 347 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: She wasn't she wasn't a particularly knowledgeable fan, but she 348 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: she had opinions nonetheless like us right. And then in 349 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: two political you know icons in this community that that 350 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: I had the good fortune to know for for four 351 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: or five decades, Slave Gorton and Dan Evans. I was 352 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: with Dan at the last Apple Cup. Sadly, the last 353 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Apple Cup he saw was a year ago, and he 354 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: passed a few days after that. Dan used to say 355 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: to me, now, you got to promise me we're going 356 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: to win a World Series. And I said, absolutely, Dan, 357 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: I can't tell you when, but we're going to win 358 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: a World Series, and unfortunately he won't be there for that, 359 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: at least not in person. I think I'll be looking 360 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: down on us and Slagh Gorton every time I walk 361 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: into the lobby and see the display we've got with 362 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: the shovel from the first shovel of dirt for for 363 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: this ballpark, and you know the photos from from his 364 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: growing up period, and you know he was an enormous fan. 365 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: Any saved baseball in Seattle three different times that we 366 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: wouldn't have that stadium, We wouldn't have this team, you know, 367 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: if we had not, if it had not been for 368 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: a number of people, and and slights on on the 369 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 1: Mount rushmore of that list. But folks like Gary Locke 370 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: and and Slade and excuse me, Dan and and other 371 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: political leaders you know, stepped up at a time. You know, 372 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to appreciate that the political leaders came together, 373 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, to make this happen. Wes Holman, you know, 374 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: and you know they wanted a team. They wanted the 375 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: team to stay here. They didn't want it to move 376 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: to Tampa in nineteen ninety. You know, all of those 377 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: folks came together and most of them sadly are gone. 378 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: And but yeah, I guess I'm not particularly religious, but 379 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm religious enough to think that they're probably looking down 380 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: on us and smiling. 381 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 6: Mariner Chairman John Stanton joining us. And you know, Softie 382 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 6: and I were at Believe it or Not, the U 383 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 6: District QFC when we got word that Dan Wilson was 384 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 6: going to be the manager of the Seattle Mariners, and. 385 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 7: We thought, oh, that makes sense. 386 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 6: Well, we just assumed it was going to be an 387 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 6: interim situation, right, like a trial basis, And then we 388 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 6: found out a little bit later that afternoon, this isn't 389 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 6: an interim thing. 390 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 7: He's the guy. Why was he made the guy right away? 391 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 6: And how much of that was a John stand decision 392 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 6: and how much was a Jerry Depoter decision. 393 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: It was a Jerry Depoto decision. But Jerry and I 394 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: talked about it long and hard, and I supported it. 395 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: And my office across the street is bookended by Kevin 396 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: Martinez on one side and Jerry Depoto on the other side, 397 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: and I'm talking to the three of the three of 398 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: us are talking along with Trevor and and Justin every 399 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: day and so but ultimately it was Jerry's decision, and 400 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: I know it was an incredibly hard decision for him 401 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: to make. You know, he and Scott were very close 402 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: and Scott, you know, did some tremendous things for this organization. 403 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 5: But ultimately, the. 404 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: Question I asked Jerry is do you believe we can 405 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: win a World Series with Scott as the leader? And 406 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: he said no, And he believed that, uh, And he 407 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: still believes, he believes today that we can with Dan. 408 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 1: And that's you know, you got to be guided by something. 409 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: We have a mission at the Mariners. We talk about 410 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: all the time when our mission is to win championships, 411 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: create unforgettable experiences for our fans, and serve our communities. 412 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: And you know, the things that go on the field 413 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: on the field, you know, are primarily related to championships, 414 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: but they also create unforgettable experiences. How many how many 415 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: kids have posters of how of Cal hitting the break 416 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: the streak home run in twenty two? How many think 417 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: about Julio and you know, we're number forty four when 418 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: they're going out, when they're going to bed, or they're 419 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: going out to play in the in the yard. And 420 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, serving the communities is also 421 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: very important to us. It's something that I was taught 422 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: by my parents and my predecessors, you know, John Ellis 423 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: and Howard Lincoln all committed as our entire ownership is, 424 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, to doing things to try to make us 425 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: a better community. And I think you know, right now 426 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: you can say the best thing we can do for 427 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: the community is to win that World Series. So there's 428 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: a virtual circle there, but you know we've done you know, 429 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: our home Base program is designed to eliminate reduce homelessness 430 00:20:53,880 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: by eliminating evictions. Our Hometown nine program where we help 431 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: kids that can't afford to play travel baseball and travel softball, 432 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: we make it possible for them and we have mentors 433 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: for them that you know, make a difference in their lines. 434 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. 435 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 4: Well, John Stanton as well as Mariner chairman from the 436 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 4: Jimmy's On first And first of all, I love the 437 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 4: fact that. 438 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 5: You hear this radio show. That's awesome. 439 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 4: And then number two, if you've heard this show, then 440 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 4: you've probably heard me say on many many occasions, I 441 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 4: think the Mariners weren't in the World Series would be 442 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 4: the greatest sporting accomplishment this town has ever seen. You've 443 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 4: you've heard me say that maybe a couple times over 444 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 4: the years, and I mean that it'd be bigger than 445 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, bigger than anything that this team town 446 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 4: has ever done. And to me, I get tired, as 447 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 4: I know I think you do, of being on a 448 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 4: list that says never when it comes to the World Series. 449 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 4: You So let me ask you real quick, because Dick 450 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 4: asked about this ball club. So why why do you 451 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 4: think that is that we haven't gotten there yet? Why 452 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 4: do you think this time feels different for this franchise? 453 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: I want to I want to address the predicate at first, 454 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: you know the it's a deep, dark secret. But you 455 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: and I know we grew up in the same neighborhood. 456 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: I know we did, right, I know we did, you know, 457 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: maybe twenty years apart, but neighborhood hasn't changed that much. 458 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: And we played pick up ball and Little League on 459 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: Woodridge Elementary's fields and all that. And anyone who's been here, 460 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, spent their life here, you know, particularly a 461 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: baseball fan. You know you don't remember, I do the 462 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: departure of the pilots in sixty nine or actually in 463 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: March of seventy. You know, this community deserves a championship. 464 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: I also remember June first, nineteen seventy nine, you know, 465 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: the championship that the Sonics won after losing in seventy eight. 466 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: You know, those are those are memories that are are 467 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: so vivid for me. You know, I can I can 468 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: practically tell you exactly what I was doing and drinking 469 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: at the same at that time. For us to win 470 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: a World Series, I think culminates, you know, if you 471 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: include the pilots over sixty years of efforts to bring 472 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: a championship to this community in baseball, and baseball has 473 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: the ability to bring this community together in a way. 474 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's an election year and you know, I'm 475 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into politics, but you know, 476 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: wouldn't it be nice if everybody was holding hands at 477 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: a parade celebrating Mariners winning the championship? 478 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, whether they'd like to hold your hand? Would you 479 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 5: hold my hand if we win? Well, you hold my 480 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 5: hand wood Brothers. 481 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: Yes, it may not last long. Exactly exactly we'll do 482 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: the secret Woodridge handshake. But the dynamic for this community 483 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: is they deserve it. 484 00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 5: We deserve it. 485 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: And you know, everyone who's been here their whole lives. 486 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: You know, I think you know has that. And you 487 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: know the great thing about this community is we've also 488 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: brought you know, huge numbers of people who moved into 489 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: Seattle for to go to work for Microsoft or Costco 490 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: or Team Mobile or Starbucks or Amazon. 491 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 5: You know those. 492 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: Folks you know have come here to this community and 493 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: fall in love with his team. You know, it's a 494 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: fun time. I can't go to Starbucks right now without 495 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: someone saying go Mariners. The guys said it. Guy I've 496 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: never seen before said it to me in the elevator today. 497 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: You know, people are excited and it it has the 498 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: ability to have a long lasting effect. 499 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 6: John, you had the fifteenth, twentieth, twenty third, twenty fifth, 500 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 6: and twenty eighth rank payroll make the playoffs this year, 501 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 6: so some could argue. 502 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 7: That doesn't matter that much. 503 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 6: But you also had six of the top eleven payrolls 504 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 6: make the playoffs this year, so some could argue that 505 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 6: it is that important. How tightly linked do you think 506 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 6: payroll is to making the playoffs and winning a championship? 507 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: Well, you can't argue that it's not correlated. You know, 508 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: your your numbers suggest that I think that the key 509 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: is to have a coherent strategy and to be in 510 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: a position where you can execute on that strategy to succeed. 511 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: And you know, more power to the to the folks 512 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: that sign the huge contracts. But at least one of 513 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: those teams didn't make the playoffs at all. And you know, 514 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: the the dynamic is that, you know, payroll alone will 515 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: not make a difference. You've had, we've had plenty of 516 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: evidence of that. We were willing to step up. You know. 517 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: The commitment we made at the at the deadline, uh, 518 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: to Geno and to to nailor Uh, I think what 519 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: and Ferguson, you know, was an important statement by our 520 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: ownership group that we believe that this is the right time. 521 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 1: You know, people want us to win every year, and 522 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: and we want to win every year, but there's some 523 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: years where you see the opportunity and you can see 524 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: the path. Uh and I see the path, think, I know, 525 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: Jerry and Justin see the path. And this is a 526 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: year where we believe we can make a difference. And 527 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: so we made it. We made a commitment. 528 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 2: You know. 529 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: Uh, it's like it's like anyone's purchase of any goods, 530 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 1: you know, kind of the ouch factor, you know, it 531 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: was it was a. It was an expensive commitment on 532 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: our part, but it's a commitment that we think will result, Yeah, 533 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: taking this team all the way. 534 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned It'suarez and Naylor. You think those guys 535 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 4: are back next year. 536 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: I think we'll look at those kinds of issues after 537 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: the season's over. And you know, it's ultimately on Justin 538 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: and Jerry to to make those decisions. I would say 539 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: not not. In juxtaposition to your question, we have some 540 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: unbelievable talent. You know, I don't know if you saw, 541 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: you know, the the irony of colt Amer's sent out 542 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: there at second base yesterday at the scrimmage, at the 543 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: scrimmage and each hero in the outfield, you know, the 544 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: you know whatever that is thirty two years apart in age. 545 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: I think that we've got, you know, I look at 546 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: Las Montes, who was our best hitter in the minors 547 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: this year. I think, you know, the the addition we 548 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: made with Anderson at the in the I mean, I 549 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: think we got the best player in the draft. I mean, 550 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: how in the world did we end up with a 551 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: number three pick? You know, I was there when it 552 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: happened and still can't believe it. And then you know, 553 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: the teams that had the number one and two pick 554 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: pass on what I think everyone believed was the best 555 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: player in the draft. I mean, the the opportunity for 556 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: us to actually have a tremendous left handed starter, you know, 557 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: for his his career, you know, I think is you know, 558 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: is phenomenal. And he comes out of LSU where he's 559 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: got a comes from winning tradition. I think the future 560 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:04,959 Speaker 1: is very bright for us. 561 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, let's start by getting to win tomorrow. How's 562 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 5: that game one? 563 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 4: I love to hold your handring a parade by the way, 564 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 4: that's making to happen.

Well, let's start. 617 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 4: Let's start in the ACC and let's start with your 618 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 4: freaking Hurricanes, all right, Miami Hurricanes in Tallahassee, given four 619 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 4: and a half on the road at Florida State. I 620 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 4: just picked the Hurricanes. In Factor Fiction to cover. Am 621 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 4: I right or am I wrong about that? 622 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 5: Tell us? 623 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 2: I think the only way that Florida State has a 624 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: chance if they win a coin toss take the ball. 625 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 2: They got to put some pressure on Miami. No one 626 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: has made them feel uncomfortable. They have not trailed in 627 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 2: any game so far. And what concerns me with Florida 628 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: State Virginia was missing two starting offensive linemen. It ran 629 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: for two hundred and eleven yards here. I think Miami's 630 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: just too much. They were favored by twenty one last year, 631 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: won by twenty two. I think Florida State's cut the gap, 632 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: but not enough under a touchdown Miamis to call Kin's 633 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty three. 634 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 6: Got it in the Big ten at the Big House, 635 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 6: Michigan given a lot of points to Wisconsin seventeen and 636 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 6: a half. 637 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 7: Are those too many points? 638 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 2: Well? Wisconsin looked terrible this year, Let's be honest. They 639 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 2: looked like one of the worst teams we've seen in 640 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: a long time. This might be their last stand, but 641 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 2: there is hope if they can start and Billy Edwards 642 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 2: has taken some snaps. Two years ago when he was 643 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: at Maryland, they only lost thirty one to twenty four. 644 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: He was the best player on the field. Wisconsin is 645 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: six and two against the spread the last eight against Michigan. 646 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: Wisconsin can stop the run, just can't stop the pass year, 647 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 2: but Michigan more of a running team here. I'm calling 648 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: for the back door cover. Michigan wins this game to eighteen. Okay, 649 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 2: Wisconsin Badgers cover. 650 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 5: I take take the Badgers and the points. All right. 651 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 5: You dubbed Maryland tomorrow. 652 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 4: Maryland's got an eighteen year old quarterback named Malik Washington. 653 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 4: That's six five, two thirty and he's freaking eighteen years old. 654 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 4: What's he gonna look like when he's twenty or twenty one? 655 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: For God's sake? So Maryland four and I really haven't 656 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 4: played Anyboddy yet though, and they're getting five and a 657 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 4: half at home against the Dogs. 658 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: Well, they ran off. Billy Edwards said he wasn't the 659 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 2: guy because of this kid. Now he hasn't been tested. Uh, 660 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: their defense hasn't been tested. But top ten right now 661 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,239 Speaker 2: an EPA. So I think they're underrated. This is a 662 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: tough trip for Washington. They did not win a game 663 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: on the road last year. Maryland can hit on big 664 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: plays here, they've got speed. I just think there's a 665 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: tough match up here. Unless Washington scores first, can apply 666 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 2: some pressure, they're in trouble. Also, run team's favored purps 667 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: outright twenty eight twenty five. 668 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 5: That's so good? All right too? 669 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 6: The the NFL Cardinals given more than a touchdown at 670 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 6: home against the Titans. Soud the Cardinals be giving more 671 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 6: than a touchdown against anybody? 672 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think that the Titans have 673 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: been closed here, just not hanging on the balls here. 674 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: I mean it was bad last year. Will Levis when 675 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: he was quarterback in twelve games, did not do the job. 676 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: But it's been worse lately. Ward has mostly avoided throwing 677 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 2: the interceptions and fumbling the ball, but he's taken too 678 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: many keysacks here. So they're throwing the ball sixty one 679 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 2: percent of the time. They got to get the running 680 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: game going here. But I mean, something's wrong with this 681 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 2: Arizona team. I think this is a back and forth 682 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: game here. I'm going for the upset. Tennessee wins their 683 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 2: first game here twenty to seventeen. 684 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, it went out right, Wow, I take the Titans 685 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 4: to the points. How about the Hawks and Tampa. Tampa's down, 686 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 4: Bucky Irving, They're down, Mike Evans, Seahawks are down, Julian Love, 687 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 4: Devin Witherspoon, a lot of guys out for this game 688 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 4: on Sunday. They're wearing the old nineteen seventy throwback uniforms 689 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 4: when they first joined the NFL, and the Hawks are 690 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 4: given three and a half at home. 691 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 5: What happens on Sunday, Well. 692 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,959 Speaker 2: I mean the three extra days to prepare for this game, 693 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 2: I think is huge, so that gives him an advantage. Also, 694 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 2: Tampa is going to lose a day cross country here, 695 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: so you know, I like Seattle's defense. I think they're 696 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 2: gonna be all show. 697 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 5: Tampa. 698 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 2: Baysman has some tough games. They had to come from 699 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 2: behind to win the first three games. Last week, a 700 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 2: furious comeback fell short at home against Philadelphia. So, uh, 701 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 2: this is a perfect match up here for Seattle. I 702 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 2: think Walker is gonna have a big game, maybe one 703 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five hundred and thirty yards here. Jam 704 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 2: Darnold already h seventy percent of his passes. Is he 705 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 2: completing over a nine point one yards per passing tempt? 706 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 2: Top three quarterback in Pro Football Focus here Hawk twenty 707 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 2: eight twenty. 708 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 4: All right, game of the week Notre Dame and they're 709 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 4: at home and they're given a lot twenty and a 710 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 4: half to Boise State. 711 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 5: It's your game of the week. 712 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 2: Is it a blowout or is this trap game?
