I'm coming back up. We're getting another CBS scheme 32 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: up next week against Arizona. But and when I said 33 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: something to you said, uh no, I'm gonna be at 34 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: the University of Wisconsin. 35 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: That's right, We're heading out there. 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think you're planning this stuff knowing I'm 37 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 5: not going to be here. 38 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: To be totally honest with. 39 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: You, Oh as far as far as you know, I didn't. 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: Hey, look, man, you know what. People love having you 41 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: on the call for the Hawks. 42 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 5: And when I go back and watch the watch the 43 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 5: tape of the game, when I get home a hopefully 44 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 5: went over to Badgers in Wisconsin, I'll get to hear 45 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 5: your voice, which makes an even better. 46 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: But man, lots of stuff going on. 47 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 5: We got the Commanders on Sunday night before you come 48 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 5: out here for the game with Arizona. You just saw 49 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 5: them on Monday get pasted by the Chiefs. But this 50 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 5: will be a different Commander team that we're gonna see 51 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 5: because Jade and Daniels might end up playing this Sunday night. 52 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 5: So why don't you give all of us first of all, 53 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 5: take and what you saw from the Commanders in person 54 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 5: on Monday. 55 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: Well, they were injured and they didn't of course, you 56 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 2: have the quarterback, but he's uh, he may be back 57 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: as you aller too, and and that's gonna be a big, 58 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: a big deal. He makes the team go, and they 59 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: were missing him. They did get back Deebo Shamuel, and 60 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: they did get back their wide receiver McLaurin. And they 61 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: are two playmaking obstacles for any defense to jangle with. 62 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: They're they're they're used in various ways. They're incredibly skilled. 63 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: They are game changers, and I would think that that 64 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: will be you know, job one is maybe even more 65 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: of the quarterback. Let's watch those two guys and then 66 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 2: you Samuel in a lot of different ways out of 67 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: the backfield, on bubble screens, on quick lateral throws, all 68 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: over the place, wide in the slot. He wears a 69 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: lot of different hats and McLaurin is one of the 70 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: top I think, when healthy is one of the top 71 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: eight receivers in pro football. So he's great quarterback. We 72 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: know is a celebrated second year player, but there's a 73 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: lot of tape on him from last year. These coordinators, 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: these defensive coaches, Dave, they spend all off season knowing 75 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: they're gonna play him, figuring out what was he doing 76 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: well and what we can do to stop him. Last 77 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: year when he comes in, there wasn't a lot of 78 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: tape on him, the college tape, you know what airs 79 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: on a statement at Miami, but they didn't know exactly 80 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: what he was all about. And sure enough, he has 81 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: I think met a little bit more resistance this year. 82 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: And he's been three games too. He's not been healthy 83 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: and that's a big part of maybe why the team 84 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: is staggering a bit. They were without three of the 85 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: top four defensive linemen last week against the Chiefs and 86 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: that was a factor. So they've got but you know 87 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: you're gonna see Bobby Wagner again, yep. And to me, 88 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: he looks like he always did. He's quick, reads well, 89 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: makes plays. A Hall of Famer to be for sure. 90 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: No question, maybe the best middle linebacker of all time. 91 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 5: I know a lot of people will debate that with 92 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 5: your guys like Singletary and you know whatever, but it's 93 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 5: it's amazing. You know how long it's been since Bobby 94 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 5: Wagner has been in Seattle. It's been, you know, twenty 95 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 5: twenty three, as he was here through twenty one, took 96 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 5: off for a year with the Rams, played well for them, 97 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 5: and now he's kicking ass again at the age of 98 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 5: you know what, you know, thirty five years old, for 99 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 5: God's sakes. 100 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: But Kevin, I'm looking at the. 101 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 5: NFC and I see six teams that are separated by 102 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 5: a half a game. Green Bay, Philly, Tampa, the Hawks, 103 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 5: the Lions, the Rams, and the Niners are right by 104 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 5: eyeing them at five and three. I mean, I think 105 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 5: we probably should say, as of right now, at least 106 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 5: on you know, paper record wise, the Colts are the 107 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 5: best team in the a f C. The Chiefs may 108 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 5: have something to say about that later on. But who's 109 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: the best team in the NFC, Because to me, I 110 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 5: can't figure it out. 111 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna go Green Bay and I just I 112 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: just think their second half on the road against Pittsburgh 113 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: and what that game meant for both franchise, but especially 114 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: the Packers. Pason Rogers that that was a huge win. 115 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: Their their second half performance was phenomenal. And and they've 116 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 2: got all their parts and they're healthy and they're really 117 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: playing well. And I think they have found exactly what 118 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: they are. They've they've learned how to use Micah Parsons 119 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 2: and that that has been huge. I would say that 120 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: the NFC right now, and this has not been set 121 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: for a couple of years, NFC is stronger than the AFC. 122 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 2: And what's her in the AFC is Burrow being out 123 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: at Sincy, Lamar Jackson missing a handful of games with 124 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: Baltimore when since he is what they are with their quarterback, 125 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 2: and the same with Lamar. We've got two conferences that 126 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: have got, you know, six, seven, eight teams that are 127 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: all worthy of making it to Santa Clara. They've got 128 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: that kind of talent. And we got half the season ago, 129 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: a little more than half the season to go. But 130 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: I would I would probably listen. The Rams are scary 131 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: and Tampa didn't play all that well here last couple 132 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: of weeks. They had a big win. We know up 133 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: in your place, and that is their quarterback isn't playing well. 134 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: The MVP is Jonathan Taylor of the Colts through eight 135 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: eight weeks of the season, and I really think that 136 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: that the end of the year is going to be 137 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: about as thrilling as the first eight weeks to have been. 138 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 2: These first eight weeks, these first seven weeks of the 139 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: season have been some of the best NFL football that 140 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: I can recall to begin a year. Maybe the best ever. 141 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I that's clearly subjective and 142 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: probably nothing statistically that could back that up. But to me, 143 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: we've had more exciting games, bigger offensive bulges, some great 144 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: individual performances, some surprises, some reclamation projects that have come 145 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: along and done a great job. You know it first 146 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: hand with Sam up there in Seattle, YEP. So I 147 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: just think these first six, seven, eight weeks of the 148 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: season have been phenomenal, and I think we've got more 149 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: of it in store of it. Why the rest of the. 150 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 5: Season, Kevin, Why Jonathan Taylor over Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones 151 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 5: somebody like that. He's obviously on pace to put up 152 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 5: crazy numbers for Indianapolis. Projected for eighteen hundred and twenty 153 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 5: six touchdowns. But why the running back over to quarterback? 154 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: You know, in this league. We talked to these coaches, 155 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: Dave the two things they always say. You know what, 156 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: if we ask him what do you need to do 157 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: to win? They said the same two things. Every player, 158 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: every coach, every everybody that we talked to. We got 159 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: to run the ball and we got to stop the run. 160 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: And Indianapolis has a running back who is really helping 161 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: that quarterback. And a quarterback's best friend is a good 162 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: running game, and the Colts have got it. So it's 163 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: hand in hand why Jones is playing so well, because 164 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: Taylor is playing so great. Yeah, and I just think 165 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: that there are a few quarterbacks that can do it 166 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: on their own without help from the running game. But 167 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: the Colts with that record best record in football, clearly 168 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: showing that that running game is making all the different 169 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: and it's helping the defense too. A running game is 170 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: a funny thing. They don't put much, you know, on 171 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: you know, crafting these running backs high. They don't make 172 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: them the highest paid player on the offense. But there 173 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: is an argument to be made that when you've got 174 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: a running back who is extraordinary, that he affects the 175 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: success of the line because these guys get momentum and 176 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: it helps their pass blocking when they're run blocking with 177 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: success every play, And that's what the culture doing, and 178 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: it helps the defense. The defense can rest drives her longer, 179 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: and it just seems the toughen a team. I can't 180 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: explain it except for those little examples that get right there. 181 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: A lot of it is probably just feel and subconscious. 182 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: But when you can run the ball, your team more 183 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 2: times than not has got a winning record and is 184 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: in there competing and is relevant. And if you can't 185 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: run the ball, you are finding yourself in trouble. Now, 186 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: there are quarterbacks who run, but you're living on the 187 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: edge in that world, and that is that can be 188 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: a loser's game. If you're relying on a running quarterback 189 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 2: all the time, that's not that we've seen him before, 190 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: and they have no sustainability. They get injured, they get 191 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: worn down, they're not as good passing the ball. So 192 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: you need a running game with a comp a quarterback. 193 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: And the Cults are getting both right now. They're getting 194 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 2: an outstanding running game and they're getting a very very 195 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: good quarterback play from a reclamation project kind of like 196 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: with Sam showing up there and you mentioned Baker Mayfield, 197 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: he's doing the same for champions. He didn't play all 198 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: that great this past weekend, and didn't play that all 199 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: that great against Detroit on Monday Night a couple of 200 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: weeks ago, but he is he is legitimately right now 201 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: having an incredible season and at the very core of 202 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 2: why the Buccaneers are playing well well. 203 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 5: Kevin Harlan's with us on the radio show, and you 204 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 5: mentioned the run game. It's kind of what is making 205 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 5: what's happening up here in Seattle a little bit amazing. 206 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 5: They're five and two and they really haven't run the 207 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: ball well at all the entire year. So we'll see 208 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 5: if that's sustainable. But you know, normally Chiefs Bills is 209 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 5: the biggest game of the week by far, and maybe 210 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 5: it is. I'm just going to assume that for where 211 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 5: will Kevin be for TV on Sunday? That Romo and 212 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 5: Nance are calling that game for CBS on Sunday? 213 00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: Do I have that right? 214 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 5: By the way, is the A team on the Chiefs 215 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 5: Bills game from Buffalo? 216 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? But I could have asked ten people on the 217 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 2: street and they would have known that so that you 218 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: don't don't think you highly, don't don't don't think you 219 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: highly of yourself. 220 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 5: This Chiefs team, you saw him on Monday, I don't know. 221 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 5: It's another big one between these two rivals, buddy, and 222 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 5: that is Kansas City back. Are they back after what 223 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 5: you saw Monday? 224 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 2: Yeah? They are, they are. They've got a three headed 225 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: monster running back. They've got the fastest receiving corps as 226 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: a group in the NFL. Mahomes is playing a different 227 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: kind of football. I think he has more trust in 228 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: his line. I think he is not thinking as much. 229 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: I think he was so buried under minutia that he 230 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: wasn't reacting like he'd normally had early in his career. 231 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: And I think he's reverted to now, you know, going 232 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: back to being a little bit more. He's always off schedule. 233 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: We know that, and that's great because he can pull 234 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 2: it off. But I just think he he's playing the 235 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: game more at ease, if that makes sense. He still 236 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: has a frenetic style about him, that's just the way 237 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: he is, but but I sense he's more at ease 238 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 2: with how he's going into games, what he expects to see, 239 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: how he's going to react, and he knows he's got 240 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: three receivers. Now they've got Roshie Rice back, and they 241 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: couple him with Worthy and Hollywood Brown and in a 242 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame tight end, by the way, really who 243 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: looks completely different now than he did this time last 244 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: year in Travis Kelsey. And they can run the ball. 245 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: Like I said, they're they're they're really, they're they're legit. 246 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: And their defense has always been good. They're the only 247 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: team in the league that's top five in offense and defense. 248 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: And they did you know, they lost a couple of 249 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: close games out of the blocks, so we all get 250 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 2: that began oh and two. But I think what they've 251 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 2: won five of six and and they are really they 252 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: have found their stride and this this is the team 253 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 2: we thought we'd see. I think there's a little embarrassment 254 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 2: about how the Super Bowl went last year against Philadelphia, 255 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: and I think it brought renewed vigor to the team 256 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: as they approached this season. 257 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Kevin, the trade deadline is coming up on 258 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 5: Tuesday of next week, so the Lion has just got 259 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 5: done a deal with Aiden Hutchinson, giving him like a 260 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 5: gajillion dollars a week, one hundred and forty million guaranteed whatever, 261 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 5: something like that. And now there's just this thought going 262 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 5: around that, hey man, the Browns are terrible. They're two 263 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 5: and six. Miles Garrett's playing like a maniac. Are they 264 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 5: better off trading him? Do you think the Browns would 265 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 5: even consider trading Miles Garrett? And if somebody was asked 266 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 5: for two first round draft picks and more, is there 267 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 5: a potential for him getting moved and would you do 268 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 5: move like that? 269 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple of things about Garrett. First of all, 270 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: he is he is on a Hall of Fame path 271 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: right now. But I just read something the other day 272 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: back this morning about how his deportment around the organization 273 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: is not great. He's late for meetings, he is a 274 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: no show for some This is reporting from what was 275 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 2: in I think The Athletic this morning, from a reliable reporter, 276 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: that he is he is a no show for some 277 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: team activities. I don't know if this is a way 278 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 2: of him saying I'm frustrated. I'm not going to be 279 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: the person you want me to be unless you show 280 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: me that you're going to do some things to help 281 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: this organization. And clearly the organization has been mismanaged, and 282 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: they're living in a world right now where they need 283 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: they need volume and not just one one. Miles Garrett 284 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: is great, but he's not winning them games. So I 285 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: guess you'd have to think that he would bring at 286 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: least two first round picks and maybe even a starter. Now. 287 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: I think he's that good he is, you know, as 288 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: as that position goes the most one of the top 289 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: three most valuable positions on your team, quarterback being one 290 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: of them, maybe at a shutdown corner ever, but those 291 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: guys can can change a team. We see what Micah 292 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: Parsons has done for the Green Bay defense, and if 293 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: there's a contending team that is like one gigantic playmaker away, 294 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: I think that we know it's a win now league, 295 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: and you make the deal and maybe you sacrifice a 296 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: couple of first routers in the beginning. There's no guarantee 297 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: on what you're going to get in those drafts, but 298 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: there is a pretty good guarantee that if you're bringing 299 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: Miles Garrett into your organization and put them in the 300 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: right culture, that you can straighten out the things off 301 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: the field and you're gonna get the same performance on 302 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: the field. 303 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, the other trade target conversation. A lot of 304 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 5: conversation has been circling around Kirk Cousins obviously lost his 305 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 5: job last year. Penix is on the way back. Maybe 306 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 5: this weekend. I mean, if you're a quarterback needy team, 307 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: do you think about trading for Kirk Cousins or is 308 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 5: that contract still problematic in your mind? 309 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's a gigantic but that's that's the cost of 310 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: doing business in the league. If you don't have a quarterback, 311 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: you know you've got room because if you do have 312 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: a quarterback, you're paying him that kind of money. So 313 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: now what we were there in Atlanta this past week 314 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: and saw that game against Miami and Cousins did not 315 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: look great. Now, he is not practiced within one offense 316 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: all season until this week, the focus has been on Pennis. 317 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: Cousins has been an afterthought, scout team quarterback. He's not 318 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: played with the starters until a couple of practices this 319 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: past week. I think there's still something there. He's incredible 320 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: in terms of leadership and for the locker room. He's 321 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: a breath of fresh air. He is universally loved wherever 322 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: he's played, and if your team is lacking quarterback and 323 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: has everything set around him. I think that's a move 324 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: you got to look to make. He's thirty seven, he 325 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: could give you two to three more good years. Well 326 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: you figure out that position. But if your team is 327 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: ready to go, and I guess I'm trying to think 328 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: of the Vikings. If your team is ready to move 329 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 2: and he's got a history there, why not bring him 330 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: back in. Listen, the Vikings let go of two. They 331 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: let go two unbelievable quarterbacks last year, Daniel Jones who 332 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: never played for him but was on the roster and 333 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. Like they had their guys. Now they're in 334 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 2: quarterback hell. They lost Carson Wentz, they got an unproven 335 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy who's been very ordinary in his beginning. I mean, 336 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 2: there's a lot going on and that team won fourteen 337 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: games last year, So why not why not make the 338 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: deal for Cousins, bring him in, take that salary, figure 339 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: it out, maybe rework it or something. Get him in there. 340 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: See if you can salvage this season because you got 341 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: a tough division you're going to have to get out 342 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,239 Speaker 2: of with Green Bay and Detroit, and maybe rekindle what 343 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: you had. Let him finish off up there. Let him 344 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 2: bring that young quarterback because the quarterback JJ is really 345 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: just a rookie. He's only played two NFL games, Like, 346 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: he's not going to quit. The life's not going to 347 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: go on and he's not that's not going to happen, 348 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: So I that would be a prime target, I would think. 349 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 2: But maybe they got another vision and the pretty smart 350 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: people up there, so that will be one of the 351 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 2: more interesting developments to see what happens. 352 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 5: Because yeah, well the only other vision would be just 353 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 5: a tank for the rest of the year and get 354 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 5: as high a draft pick as possible. I'm totally with you. 355 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 5: So all right, here we go. It's time for where 356 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 5: will Kevin be for TV on Sunday?

I'm done. Blue Jay's are gonna 413 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 5: win the whole thing. It's over, h It's over. 414 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's fair. 415 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: Toronto's gonna win the whole thing. 416 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 5: They are just unstoppable, right, hass I have prepared myself 417 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 5: that the Blue Jays are gonna win it all. There 418 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 5: was a tweet that came out I think it was 419 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: either right before Game seven or right after Game seven 420 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 5: of the ALCS that when there is a sweep in 421 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 5: one league championship series and the other side goes seven, 422 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 5: remember that. 423 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 7: Seven gamers usually end up winning. 424 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 5: They always win every time when there's a seven game 425 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 5: series on one side and a sweep on the other. 426 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 5: The seven game series team that won has won the 427 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 5: World Series every single time, and it might be happening again. 428 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: Here for Toronto. By the way, Jackson and I were 429 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: talking off the air. 430 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 5: Well, you were a goofing around there in the sports, 431 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 5: but we were preparing for the next segment as professionals. Yeah, 432 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 5: do you know what the geting price is for Game six? 433 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 5: For the Rogers Center for Game six of the World 434 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 5: Series right now, seventeen nineteen hundred and ninety six bucks 435 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 5: to get in the door. You know what Game seven 436 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 5: is for the World Series in Toronto, twenty four hundred 437 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 5: dollars to get the door. I have NOI because if 438 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 5: it is, then it's like four to fifteen US. I 439 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 5: think it's American. By the way, it's on Venue Kings. 440 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 5: But I mean they're they're ready for a party. They 441 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 5: are readying for a party in Toronto. We're just gonna 442 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 5: have to accept the fact that this could have been us, 443 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 5: could have been us. I mean this idea that you 444 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 5: know what the Dodgers or Jackson. Let me just tell 445 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 5: you something here. This is how baseball works. Okay. I 446 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 5: realized the Blue Jays are maybe playing at a higher 447 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 5: level than we were at the time. I'll give them 448 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 5: that their offense was certainly firing on way more cylinders 449 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 5: than our offense's offense was. Give them credit for Shane Bieber, 450 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 5: give them credit for Max Scherzer, right, two guys that 451 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 5: we thought were kind of washed up that in a 452 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 5: lot of ways kind of save their bacon in the playoffs. 453 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 5: I mean, they're pitching great. Good for them, but I'm 454 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 5: telling you this Dodger baseball team, their bullpen is terrible. 455 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 5: They haven't lived up to their potential the entire season. 456 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 5: Everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion that whoever played 457 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 5: the Dodgers was gonna get wiped. 458 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: And I never believe that, Dick ever. 459 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 8: And I think that's probably the most frustrating thing about 460 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 8: this is that, Wow, maybe the Mariners were the second 461 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 8: best team in baseball. Maybe, And you know the fact is, 462 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 8: and you pointed it out, Toronto is the one team 463 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 8: that is getting production from their entire lineup. The Dodgers 464 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 8: are exactly like the Mariners. Yeah, the superstars are hitting, 465 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 8: but nobody else. 466 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm sorry, I just got to jump. That's fine. 467 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: If if this is let's. 468 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 9: Let's let's rewind back to like twenty thirteen whatever, right, 469 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 9: And even twenty twelve, I wasn't working for your show, 470 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 9: so maybe you can have the context there. If the 471 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 9: forty nine ers are having big success in the playoffs, 472 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 9: are we spending a segment talking about how great the 473 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 9: forty nine ers were? 474 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: And more recently, I have an answer for that, But 475 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: going you see where I'm going. 476 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 9: When the Asters are are we spending segments talking about 477 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 9: how great the are. We spending segments talking about how 478 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 9: great the Oregon ducts are. 479 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: Can we please stop this crap? 480 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 9: I mean you really, and this is just annoying the 481 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 9: hell out of me right now? 482 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: How great are the Blue J's? I'm sick of it. 483 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: I hate the Blue Jays and I'm mad that we 484 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: aren't there. 485 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 5: I get that, and I'm with you one hundred percent. 486 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 5: The difference between football and the Niners in twenty twelve 487 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 5: when they won the NFC and played the Ravens, for example, 488 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 5: is they played one game every day. This is every day. 489 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 5: You don't want to hear compliments of the Blue Jays. 490 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 5: You don't want to hear how great they are. I 491 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 5: get that. I don't understand right now. First of all, 492 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 5: we haven't done this every day. This is the This 493 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 5: is actually, in my defense, okay, pal, in my defense, 494 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 5: this is the first time I've even uttered a complimentary 495 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 5: word about that. 496 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: I hate this exactly right. 497 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 5: I am now into coping mode. 498 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 7: The series is the equivalent to the super Bowl. 499 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 8: So the equivalent would be if we were watching Wait 500 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 8: a second, if we were watching the super Bowl, wall 501 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 8: our show was going on, Yes, and the San Francisco 502 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 8: forty nine ers took us seventeen to seven lead in 503 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 8: the second quarter, we'd be doing the same exact thing 504 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 8: we've saying. 505 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 5: Oh, look it's over.

Absolutely. I mean now I'm starting to 512 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 5: feel bad for that son of a bitch because it's 513 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 5: never going away. And you know why it's never going away, 514 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 5: because I'm never gonna let it go away. I'm gonna 515 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 5: ride this like a freaking donkey into the sunset. You're 516 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 5: not kidding me, man, I'm telling you. We're doing that 517 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 5: bracket over the summer, the Paul Moyer Classic, the biggest 518 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 5: eight things we should be getting over in Seattle history. 519 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: And you can you can say whatever that, whatever you want, whatever. 520 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: You want, right. 521 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 5: I had a shot when I was thirteen years old 522 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 5: at a hop line and in junior high and I 523 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 5: blew it. I gotta get over it, gotta get over it. 524 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: Right, the Seahawks, we gotta get over. The Nuggets. 525 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 10: We gotta get over the two thousand and one alc Yes, 526 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 10: we gotta get over in Michigan, Michigan, we gotta get 527 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 10: over you. Start thinking about all those things that we 528 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 10: will introduce them. The Paul Moyer Classic to be played 529 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 10: this summer ninety three to three. See perfect for Sean Anderson, 530 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 10: Mike Jensen. Get over it, man, get over it. Hey, 531 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 10: it makes you sick, but this is baseball. 532 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 5: And I was thinking about this this morning, that man, 533 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 5: we're gonna get to the start of the year in 534 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 5: April of next season, and I just and I honestly 535 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 5: don't know how you guys will react to it. I 536 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 5: don't know how I'm going to react to it. And 537 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 5: maybe I'm just blowing nonsense over the airwaves. Right now, 538 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 5: we're gonna get to a point where, like, hey, this 539 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 5: is great, but you know what, we all know what's coming, 540 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 5: and that's October. And we could be great in the 541 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 5: regular season. If we can't find a way to be 542 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 5: good enough over a five or a seven game or 543 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 5: a three game wildcard series, it's over and you're freaking done. 544 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 5: And that's why it hurts so badly because you came 545 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 5: so goddarn close eight outs away. 546 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 7: But our expectations are going to be different now. 547 00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: They're gonna be higher. 548 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 8: They're going to be instead of saying are we good 549 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 8: enough to make the playoffs? Are we good enough to 550 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 8: win the division? We're going to be hyper analyzing this 551 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 8: baseball team in September of next year and say, Okay, 552 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 8: how would we do against the Dodgers, how would we 553 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 8: do against the Yankees? How would we match up in 554 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 8: the American League Championship Series and the World Series? And 555 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 8: that's how we're going to evaluate this team going forward 556 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 8: because of what they did this year. 557 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 5: Now it's World Series or bust. Now everybody can be 558 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 5: on the same pitch. Yes, right, Remember heading into last year, well, 559 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 5: what's going to constant a successful season? 560 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: Remember that? 561 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 5: And we sat they make the playoffs if they go 562 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 5: to the ALC has some said World Series or whatever? 563 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean? 564 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 5: Nobody There was a lot of different answers, But now 565 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 5: all of us can finally agree as a fan base 566 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 5: the goal is the World Series and nothing else is 567 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 5: going to be good enough. Now, not after you get 568 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 5: eightouts away from the World Series. 569 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what else. 570 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 5: By the way, you asked me on the year yesterday, 571 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 5: if signing Josh Naylor was enough, and I said no, 572 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 5: and I believe that even more so than yesterday. You 573 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 5: God darn right, it's not enough because that would just 574 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 5: be status quo. 575 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: If they bring back the same team that lost to Toronto, 576 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: that's not enough. Why should we. 577 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 8: Assume that the bottom of the lineup would do any 578 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 8: better in the ALCX next year? 579 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: As what what? 580 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 7: What? 581 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: What did they need against Toronto? 582 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 5: Leadoff hitter, reliever and they and they needed more depth 583 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 5: in their lineup at the bottom. 584 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: So all those things are what they have to do. 585 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 5: Don't just don't go on the air if you're John 586 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 5: Stanton or anybody and say, wow, we. 587 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: Signed Josh Nayler in a thirty five mili I. 588 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 5: Don't give a damn. That's the same fricking thing we 589 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 5: had a year ago. I want depth, I want to 590 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 5: lead off hitter, I want a bullpen. I want all 591 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 5: those things, all the things that we did not have 592 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 5: at our disposal. Okay, in the alcs that's what you 593 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 5: need to get and anything short of that is a 594 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: do we. 595 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 8: Wait till the end of this game to congratulate the 596 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 8: Blue Jays on Twitter.

How 650 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 5: much influence do the Mariners have over when that series 651 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 5: gets played? 652 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 8: Probably say, waiting none? Really, how is that possible? So 653 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 8: you're telling me, and I'm not saying you're wrong, but 654 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 8: you're telling me that it's coincidence every single year except 655 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 8: for this that the Blue Jays would play on a 656 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 8: weekend in the summertime. 657 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: I think that happened this year. 658 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 9: But for good I bet if we went back and 659 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 9: looked at it, nine out of ten. It isn't actually 660 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 9: nine out of ten. It does feel like nine out 661 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 9: of ten. But I bet if we actually went back 662 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 9: and looked at the dates, it was more like sixty 663 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 9: to seventy percent of the time that over the course 664 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 9: of say twenty years. 665 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: I mean, but Toronto was here this year. 666 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 5: They were here May ninth, ten to eleventh, on a 667 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 5: weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

And this cannot be 691 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 8: a coincidence.

Ready break, that's not reality. It's not 721 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 5: going to happen. Tickets end up on the secondary market. 722 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 5: Not everybody is as passionate about this as we are. 723 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 5: They just don't care as much. Can they be it's okay, 724 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 5: it's okay to be in the minority, and we might 725 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 5: be in the minority. 726 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 8: Can they be passionate on a year that we made 727 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 8: the alecs? Can they be passionate the next season for 728 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 8: a three day series to actually not sell their tickets? 729 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: I don't think so much. In the season, there were 730 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: hardly any Blue. 731 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 5: Jay fiss There's only so many season ticket holders. They've 732 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 5: got like fifteen thousand or whatever that number is, So 733 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 5: that leaves thirty thousand seats. 734 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: That leaves thirty thousand seats. 735 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 5: We leave tickets well, because they put playoff tickets up 736 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 5: for sale with all these different pre sales they had 737 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 5: that only reached Marina fans, and I think a lot 738 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 5: of Marina fans and the playoffs held on onto. 739 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: Their tickets like they should. 740 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 5: But when you're talking about thirty thousand tickets that can 741 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 5: flood the market individual ticket sales, I think it's going 742 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 5: to be really hard to stop this from happening. By 743 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 5: the way, twenty eighteen, this was actually even worse. They 744 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 5: played a four game series on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday 745 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 5: in early August at t Mobile Park in twenty eighteen. 746 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 5: So we're going back now seven years, seven years, including 747 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 5: eight years if you include this upcoming season. 748 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: I was wrong. 749 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 5: Eight years, including this upcoming season. Every series has been 750 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 5: at least at the latest early May, and every single 751 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 5: one has been over the weekend. Somebody, please, for the 752 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 5: love of Bruce Bochtie, tell me the Mariners have no 753 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 5: influence over this at all.
