Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I think the Pittsburgh Steelers now now the question.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Is are they going to get Aaron Rodgers? Who are
they going to get at quarterback?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
They don't get Aaron Rodgers, then they look foolish for
paying Dk Metcalf thirty three million dollars a year and
I'm an adventure to say over fifty million dollars guaranteed.
So neither here noring there. Those are former Seahawks. I
want to talk about the current Seahawks, though. Mister Sam Darnold,
who was introduced yesterday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center
(00:31):
in Renting and had a flannel shirt.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I liked it. I liked it.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was an ode to Seattle, you know, being the
home of you know, kinda that the flannel shirt going
back to the early nineties and the alternative grunge era.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I didn't mind it. I thought it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And he had made some opening comments and here's what
he had to say about him coming to the two
h six.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm just excited to be here, excited to you know,
get to know this organization. I've already met. You know,
I think most of the people, not most of the people,
but some of the people I'll be dealing with on
a day to day basis. I'm so excited just to
meet that my teammates. I've met a couple of the
new ones already. Uh, you know, d Law, Josh, you know,
(01:25):
just just very very excited to to get to meet everyone.
And just about this organization. Man, I've you know, I've
heard so many, so many good things about this organization
from you know, different guys that have played here, retired
and still playing in the league. You hear nothing about
great things, nothing but great things about this organization. And man,
(01:49):
I'm just so excited to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It all right.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So yeah, it's saying all the right things, doing all
the right things. We'll see on Sundays. You know, nobody
knows until that's the ultimate verdict, right, I mean, that's
the ultimate jury trial what you do on Sundays. But
head coach Mike McDonald, what does he think about his
new quarterback?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Looking into Sam and obviously gone against him in my
career and here here last year at Looman against the Vikings,
you think about you just want, first of all, he's
just a tremendous human being, a great leader. We had
a lot of people in our building that have the
history with Sam, that have a lot of respect for
him as a person, as a leader, as a football player.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So I'm really.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Excited to get our relationship started and getting to you know,
introduced themselves to the rest of the team and the
city and the twelves. I think we're going to be
really proud of our quarterback here and then obviously as
a football player, and as a quarterback, just a heck
of a player, just tough as nails, from my opinion,
great arm me you go through all the talent and
all we can talk about that to we're blue in
(02:51):
the face. But just really excited about what Sam's going
to bring to our football team and just an exciting time.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
All right, all right, So everybody the one word I
got from those two statements excited. Everybody's excited. Now, why
did Sam Darnold choose the Seahawks?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Just kind of talking through obviously heard the Geno news
when that broke, I kind of understood that this could
potentially be a spot for me, and then, you know what,
was it Monday, just kind of you know, letting, letting
my agents and these guys kind of figure out, you
know what would be a really good fit for me,
and that kind of to you know, came to fruition
(03:34):
a little bit, and and then finally on Wednesday, you know,
finally getting getting to talk to some of these coaches
and you know, even have some of the players reach
out to me, guys that I played with at USC,
having Jackson reach out as well. Just so eager, you know,
I met Jackson at the Pro Bowl and just so
eager to to to get to know each other and uh,
(03:55):
you know, get get working, you know, talking about when
we're gonna throw each other and stuff like that. So
just very excited man about this opportunity and just to
just to go to work, go to work with these
guys in the building every single day.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
How about Mike McDonald on how did you go from
Gino to Donald?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
You know, it's an interesting series of events for sure,
But when you know became a parent that we were
gonna have to pivot away from Gino, then you know,
I'm definitely hoping that it was gonna with Sam. You know,
there's some time there, but everyone involved in the process
was awesome. John was awesome, Joey Lane was awesome, All
of our proposonel people were on it, so just really
(04:35):
fortunate that it worked out the way it did. And
there's some great there's great quarterbacks out there that you
know that we looked into. But once we decided to
make the drink the move with Gino understanding who was
out there, definitely, you know, Sam became, you know, the
number one focus pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, it sounds like someone's gonna get electrocuted there. At
one point. Oh boy, I you know, I got to
give management a little crap. I mean, here's I think,
have you thought about this question out there? And I
throw this out there to everybody listening. What if the
Seahawks didn't get Sam Donald And let's just say Aaron
(05:14):
Rodgers goes to Pittsburgh or Minnesota because he's gonna end
up in one of those two places. I believe that
that's he's I don't think he's gonna stay in New York.
Why would you want to stay in that the Giants,
why would you want to like, get out of there,
Get out of there. It's a cesspool. The Giants have
nothing except for Malik neighbors.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Just just go.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
There's no reason to stay in New York whatsoever? What
if Seattle didn't get Sam Donald, where would this franchise be?
Could you imagine? Think about it? That would not be
a good position to be in if I was John Schneider.
(05:54):
Just think about that for a second. And I'm I
mean obviously glad it didn't happen, But could you ever
imagined could you imagine if that happened and Sam Darnold
not did not sign with the Seahawks and he went
(06:15):
to somewhere else, Boy, that would ooh man, that would
have been brutal, brutal.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But he's here. So that's the good news.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And now the question becomes, how is Seattle going to
replace the production left behind and the void without Dk
Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Those are big shoes to fill and can't do it
just by like one person. But I think like the
synergy involved that we're gonna that's gonna be needed in
order to do.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It is I'm exciting.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You know, as we start to build this, the guys
are in the building, the possibilities of people that we
can either quire the draft or you know, throughout the
whole process. So vision vision maintains the same.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Clint Kubiak spoke yesterday as well, and he is no
stranger to Sam Darnold.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I think we'll keep some common things. Uh, those are
some conversations Sam and I will have going forward. But
like Sam said earlier, throughout the league, we're running a
lot of similar things, right, It's just about how we uh,
how we deploy our five eligibles and getting getting Sam
on the same page with his receivers and tight ends
and running backs, and uh, you know, we're gonna do
do what Sam does best and what his teammates do best,
(07:36):
regardless of what may have been done in the past.
So it's just important that we have a heck going
off season from middle of April through June and get
to know each other really well and get our got
our offense going beyond the same page.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
All right, So everybody is in concert, everybody's on the
same page, and now it's time to produce and do
what you gotta do. I thought, you know, all things considered. Hey,
there was no cringe worthy moments. Thankfully, there was no
Douval Liam Cohen time moment.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yesterda.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
They gotta have some type of fun because they stink
over there.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I get it. Oh yeah, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Though cringe is okay when it's intentional, but when it's unintentional,
it makes it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Even more cringey. And it's just like oh say, oh no,
no no.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But Sam Darnold, he's trying to ingratiate himself here and
he wants to lead this franchise to getting to where
they haven't been in over a decade, and that's the
super Bowl, okay, and they want to get back to that,
and not only a super Bowl, but you know, contend
for multiple super Bowls like twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen,
(08:58):
and you know that time frame. You know, we want
to get back to that. So it's gonna be a while.
But the nine thousand pound pink elephant in the room
that is still never.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Going away, the no line.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Which you can call an O line, Mike McDonald, what's
up with that?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It's an ongoing process about where we're at. Turns out,
I don't think we have to play for another five
months or so, so there's plenty of time to develop
the guys we have in house, and there's gonna be
opportunities to to add guys when necessary that fit us
and are the right moves in those times So that's
where're at.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, in terms of your center and your guards, there's
no yeah, you're you're not going to develop in house.
Now you could acquire, you know, in terms of but no,
I'm not you know, I mean Josh Jones, I know
they sign him, they didn't get him from Machi's a
left guard, Anthony Bradford.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I just don't see it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And your boy I at center, I I you're And
that's the thing, man, I mean you can rely hopefully
on post June first cuts. That's gonna be a thing.
So that's where you're gonna have to capitalize there. I
just wow, going after DeMarcus Lawrence when you're in desperate
(10:32):
need of O line help and developing guys that are
already there.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I mean, if you mean Abraham.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Lucas, Charles Cross, fine, but like you, you can't be
serious when you're talking about that, because that sounds Jerry
Depoto esh.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You know where it's like, oh, we're gonna we're gonna
develop the guys we have.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, the guys you have aren't getting it done at
the plate at T Mobile Park, just like the guy
that you have on the old line are getting it
done on Sundays at lumen Field.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
So what are we talking about here?
Speaker 6 (11:08):
I would say they have two good tackles.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, not great there, They're good, so good, they're good.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You just need one guard to pop you get.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
You have three good linemen, an okay center, and maybe
you can plug in a draft pick. Your old line
is probably gonna be okay, better than what it was
last season.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
How come that hasn't been that way.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Because they struck out on Chris We didn't strikeout Christian
Haynes has A.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
He wasn't the guy.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Last year, Okay, despite Jim Mora Junior's endorsement that he
was gonna be like John Hannah two point zero.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Right, yeah, yeah, I'm shocked that that didn't go.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
You know, that's that's the one thing, because right now
they have two good If Olu can take the next step,
I think he has the brains.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
He's smart.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
He can do all that check down stuff and call
out stuff for the quarterback because that's what Clint Kumbak
would want from his center in his system. Cool, you
just got to find a guard. And to your point,
Anthony Bradford probably not, Salteya Limeya probably not. So now
you're like Christian Haynes. Can you be the guy didn't
really do it last season? It's only a second year
(12:17):
coming into this year, they're probably gonna draft another guard.
So that's kind of the position of need right now
is the G word guard. Can they find a starter
to be good? Can you be a Charles Cross on
the guard spot? Can you be a Lucas Healthy at
the guard spot? If they can get that, you have
five oko offensive linemen, I think this offense will be
(12:39):
a lot better than it was last season.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, I'm wondering if this scheme, too, will take some
pressure off the guys when you're running more, you know,
you're you're going you know, it's like it's obviously tougher
to pass block than it is to run block.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I mean, I think and you know, I mean, they're
both tough.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But if you're running the ball and you're getting four
and a half to five five yards to carry, then
that old.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Line is moving forward, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But if you're going to allow pressure on forty percent
dropbacks like they did last year for Geno Smith, it's
gonna be a long season. So we're back to square one.
I I just that's the thing for me on. This
is like, I love how we stay. We got five months,
like you got time. It's like, brother, right right, you
are right. I don't expect very flippant, very very flippant,
(13:28):
kind of like I don't care if you had five.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Days you need help.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
No, that was kind of my insight.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
It's like, dude, I know you had one year under
your belt, but to come out and be like, we
got five months.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, when I'm starting tomorrow tomorrow, It's like, Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Have you watched your old line?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I know you have. You guys been worst in the league.
It was really bad, I mean really bad. In Houston's
was really bad too.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, thank god the Seahawks didn't make it
because would have looked very similar.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's uh I I man, I gotta tell you. My
thing is just that I love Ernest Jones coming back.
I don't even mind DeMarcus Lawrence being acquired. It's just, man,
you're gonna give him eighteen million guaranteed for a thirty
three year old guy who's been injury prone o's that's
a tough one to swallow, especially for the fan base.
(14:17):
That is just the worst thing that could happen to
either the Seahawks and the Mariners. This year is for
the Hawks obviously the O line continuing to be at
the bottom of the league, and for the Mariners the
same thing with the lineup other than Julio and Cal.
(14:37):
I mean, it's just, you know, nobody stepping up JP Crawford, Like,
none of these guys doing what they're supposed to do
and stepping up the way Jorge Polanco. If that happens again,
it's like, how can you even blame the fans for
being disgruntled because it's the same thing every year.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
So, oh, you know, we're five months away.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Like, yeah, that's yeah, dude, I wouldn't have that was
not a good answer at all at all. Why don't
we hold onto that for a little bit, Well, why
don't we why don't we clip that one off? Clip
that one off for for future reference on the season,
you know, when they're going up against Jared Versu and
(15:21):
Branden Fisk in the Rams and you know, oh, we're
for you know, we're five months away. It's like we're
playing tomorrow. Yeah, okay, all right, just just remember that.
Just yeah, we have to play for another five months
or so.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
So yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Mean it's I could come back down.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, that one. I don't know about that one.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Man, Maybe they know something we don't. That would be nice.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
They kill the old Liney, this offensive line becomes top
thirteen in the league, is like, okay, that quote is
now a laughingstock because it doesn't even matter. You were right, Mike,
You're right, John. You guys figure it out. You got
it done. The offensive line is fixed. Sam Donald looks
like he did with the Vikings nine straight wins.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
We can only hope.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
We can only hope that's what the fans would love
to see.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Now coming up next, One of the things also I
want to get to is John Schneider, and he spoke yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I gotta tell you about him. He was.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Pretty definitive in his comments regarding DK Metcalf and Geno
Smith and what do we read into this? That'll be
next on MJ in the midday, ninety three to three KJR.
I literally, you know, I'm smart.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Madness.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I want to talk you know, college basketball. You know,
I mean it's championship week, and you know the madness
starts next week for real Tuesday Wednesday, but then the
real tournament starts on Thursday. So Aaron Torres from Fox
Sports Radio and he has his own podcast. He will
join us coming up at the top of the hour.
John Schneider met with the media yesterday and he had
(17:17):
some interesting comments about where the Seahawks are and why
certain things happened.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Did the DK trade requests catch you guys by surprise
or how did you guys kind of handle that when
it came down and get to the point where you
got that trade done on?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Yeah, a surprise. There was discussions, you know, DK, when
we're having very like a lot of personal discussions. I
thought we could fix it whatever it was. And at
the end of the day it was a no, and
he wanted to be traded. We pivoted and we move forward.
And what guys want to be here, you know what
I mean, and what guys that believe in what we're doing.
And you'd have to ask him for one reason or another,
(17:55):
it was you just wanted to move on, get.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
A fresh start.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I mean, it comes down to everything else. It's it's
all the almighty dollar, right, I mean, that's pretty much
what transpired. And I don't blame John Schneider for getting
out of the DK.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Metcalf business, not at that price. No way. I'm sorry,
I'm just I'm just not you know who.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm starting to think that if Dk Metcalf doesn't have
this trajectory improvement in Pittsburgh, not knowing who the quarterback
will be, I'm gonna give them. I'm gonna just project
it's gonna be Aaron Rodgers. But let's say it's not.
And even if it is, you know who. DK's becoming
(18:44):
kind of hit me today. He's really reminding me of
this guy. And this is not a bad player. He's
more talented, but it's it's their stats are becoming a.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Here's the thing about Dk Metcalf.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
His floor is this guy, but he's been but the
last two seasons, he's becoming more and more like Plexico Burris,
Big wide receiver, sixty four touchdown catches in his career.
Huge played thirteen years in the NFL. I think it
(19:28):
was a couple of years he was hurt, had a
nice career, but he needs to step up his game
and he's becoming a glorified Plexico Burris. I just look
at him right now, and that's who he is. He
should be Mike Williams. He should be Mike Williams and
Julio Jones combined. He's not He's Plexico Burris. He's a
(19:51):
glorified Plexico Burris.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
What Mike william are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Not Mike Evans, Mike Evans, Mike Evans, Mike Evans. No, No,
there's too many Mike Williams, Mike Evans. Uh No. But
he should be at least that that level.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Eleven hundred receiving yards a year, hopefully ten touchdown catches.
He's becoming Plexico Burris, who was another guy, that six
six guy, big receiver, super Bowl champion with the New
York Giants.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Kind of peaked in his first years.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But this is gonna be big for DK Metcalf in Pittsburgh.
I'll be interested to see because now I want to
see if he become better than Plexico. I don't think
right now. I think their career is pretty similar.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
That's an interesting one. Yeah, see hot take that.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, well I didn't even that player.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You know.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
Only only reason I remember Platza go's because I used
to play Madden all the time. He's not like growing up,
I was studying the game as I do now, So
that's a great pull.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
I would have never I thought you're gonna go modern today,
like I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Know, Yeah, no, I was just thinking of a big guy.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
You went back to the mid two thousand.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, like that, a big guy. He had a really
good first eight nine years in the NFL with Pittsburgh
and then the Giants.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
We're gonna end up career wise.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And then he ended up back in Pittsburgh to end
his career. But he uh, you know, aside from this one,
I'm sure unforgettable season with the Jets. But he's you know,
I'm just seeing that, and that's not a bad player.
He should be infinitely better his talent level, his his potential.
(21:33):
But it's like, dude, we're talking about a guy with
potential going into.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
His eighth season.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
That's not a great sign.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
No, Right, Eventually, I didn't do to cash out my
mind play on the field, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Well, and Pittsburgh really needs it.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
And if they don't get Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson could
be in play still, right, is that?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yeah, I think it's Russell. But we'll see, Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It's it's just I'm telling you he's he's Glory five Plexico.
John Schneider has something else to say.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
And when you're at the combine, you had a ton
of discussions with a lot of teams and you get
that's where we talked about down there, like the landscape
being set up that week. So you have to be
ready as a staff to be able to be flexible
and had in different directions and that was one of
them that had become evident was say lost out on Matt.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Stafford sounds like John Schneider.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You can tell a guy who's he hasn't slept much
of course probably in the last week or two or four.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
And.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Say what you want and see what you will.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That pivot that was huge because if they don't end
up with Sam Darnold, Aaron Rodgers ain't walking through that door,
you sure as hell don't want Russ. So what are
you looking at Daniel Jones? I mean it would have
been bad. You want to be in a position where
you have Daniel Jones. Look at Indian right now, they
have Daniel Jones and a guy they wasted a top
(23:05):
five pick on in Anthony Richardson a few years ago.
What a an absolute It rhymes with extortion that that
qb room is. I mean you imagine that. I mean,
Sam Howell and who are you serious? How about from
(23:32):
the four two five? Didn't Plaxico shoot himself in the
club by accident?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
He did? He did.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He gotta watch out when you put that thing right
there on the side. You gotta why he did by accident?
He certainly did. How about this DK is as whiny
as Antonio Brown Prima donna. I'm glad he's gone For
someone that dropped and missed as many catches as he did.
I couldn't stand him, especially when he used his binkie
mouthpiece he used to use when he first started.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Good riddance.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
I mean, wow, I think anybody would take a wany
Antonio Brown. He's elite.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, he got his career his first ten years in
the NFL. You would be hard pressed to find any
receiver other than Jerry Rice that had a better career
statistically than Antonio Brown did his first decade in the NFL.
He went kind of crazy a little bit, you know
after that, but uh.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
He went crazy. Mark you can say.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That, by the way, I will tell you. One of
the most entertaining follows on Twitter, Oh yeah, I mean
must follow on Twitter no filter none, especially when it
comes to Joy Taylor.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean no filter.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You think they'll be in a room soon talking.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Not no no no filter.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I mean he is too, and I'm like, man, and
he just met there's something, you know what, there's something
to be said for someone who just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Give a bleep anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And he does not he doesn't care who he offends,
he doesn't care anything, and he is all in on.
I mean, like Joy Taylor, Man, that AB eighty four.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Is your worst nightmare.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well, actually gonna think that she probably has a other
few bad nightmares coming up that have to do with
human resources and perhaps legal affairs going on right now
that are worse than Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown is just
saw on that open wound. But you know, oh Antonio Brown,
(25:34):
like I can tell you, I would go on his
Twitter handle and I can't even say most of the
things that he's tweeting every single day, but it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I mean, oh my god, look at.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What he look at what he tweeted out fifty nine
minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And it's funny.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
There's something of the day.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
The the rhymes with uh. It's just funny. It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh man, he just uh yeah, fifty nine minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Look at that one.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
The something of the day there, that's Antonio Brown. I
can't talk about it on the air, but it is
just man, that is funny. That is some funny stuff.
And we love that. You know what we don't love though,
if you're just showing us right now, we don't love
hert ohs in sports and uh, we're gonna continue. We're
(26:42):
gonna actually, in case you missed the very beginning of
the show, because we know that radio turns over every
three to six minutes, maybe less than that. Hart O's
in sports and someone went all hard oh on me
yesterday when I was going ahead and giving a lot
of phodos to Yannie Newman, who could be the next
(27:04):
big thing here in Seattle sports. Hardos next on MJ
in the midday, number one seed Auburn. The SEC is
hanging on barely forty nine to forty six with about
five twenty left, trying to advance to the semi finals.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
There. So yesterday I did this.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Thing about Yannie Newman, who is a guy that I
think everybody here in Seattle is going to wrap their
arms around and could be the next big thing here,
especially with the Kraken. And I said, listen, if this
guy looks half as good or a fraction as good
as he looked the other night and led the AHL
(27:43):
and most goals scored this season, and that's the one
thing that's been lacking here with the Kraken, is this
not having their own star.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Not to mention, this guy's a homegrown star.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So if he continues to do and achieve the the
heights and his potential for a guy who's only twenty
years old, I said, you better buy your number thirty
eight jerseys right now to all the parents out there,
and get on this Yonnie Newman bandwagon sooner than later.
And so somebody on Instagram my handles, Mark James talk
(28:18):
m Aarc James talking Christopher Kidd, you know, tweeted out this,
you know, my monologue yesterday just saying that, wow, this
is exciting to have a potential huge star here in Seattle,
especially for the Kraken, because Seattle has proven to me unequivocally.
I went to one game, but just even the other night,
you know the games that I've watched, especially the other
(28:38):
night in a game where they're playing out the string
the rest of the season against the Montreal Canadians, no
chance of postseason whatsoever, and the fans, and there was
a hard oh who said, it's not a jersey, it's
a sweater. So we got to thinking about hardos out
there and in sports and people who are you know,
soccer hardoes.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
It's not a fee, it's a pitch.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Baseball hard oh, it's not RBI's it's RBI. And you know,
there aren't fans at golf events, they're patrons. So if
you're a hard oh, someone who is trying too hard,
excessively enthusiastic, or overly dedicating to something, often to the
(29:24):
point of being annoying, or seeming desperate to impress others,
just stop.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Just stop.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Aaron Torres coming up, Max, We will break down March
madness on MJ in the midday ninety three to three.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
kJ Artham
And I think the Pittsburgh Steelers now now the question.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Is are they going to get Aaron Rodgers? Who are
they going to get at quarterback?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
They don't get Aaron Rodgers, then they look foolish for
paying Dk Metcalf thirty three million dollars a year and
I'm an adventure to say over fifty million dollars guaranteed.
So neither here noring there. Those are former Seahawks. I
want to talk about the current Seahawks, though. Mister Sam Darnold,
who was introduced yesterday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center
(00:31):
in Renting and had a flannel shirt.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I liked it. I liked it.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was an ode to Seattle, you know, being the
home of you know, kinda that the flannel shirt going
back to the early nineties and the alternative grunge era.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I didn't mind it. I thought it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And he had made some opening comments and here's what
he had to say about him coming to the two
h six.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm just excited to be here, excited to you know,
get to know this organization. I've already met. You know,
I think most of the people, not most of the people,
but some of the people I'll be dealing with on
a day to day basis. I'm so excited just to
meet that my teammates. I've met a couple of the
new ones already. Uh, you know, d Law, Josh, you know,
(01:25):
just just very very excited to to get to meet everyone.
And just about this organization. Man, I've you know, I've
heard so many, so many good things about this organization
from you know, different guys that have played here, retired
and still playing in the league. You hear nothing about
great things, nothing but great things about this organization. And man,
(01:49):
I'm just so excited to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It all right.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So yeah, it's saying all the right things, doing all
the right things. We'll see on Sundays. You know, nobody
knows until that's the ultimate verdict, right, I mean, that's
the ultimate jury trial what you do on Sundays. But
head coach Mike McDonald, what does he think about his
new quarterback?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Looking into Sam and obviously gone against him in my
career and here here last year at Looman against the Vikings,
you think about you just want, first of all, he's
just a tremendous human being, a great leader. We had
a lot of people in our building that have the
history with Sam, that have a lot of respect for
him as a person, as a leader, as a football player.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So I'm really.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Excited to get our relationship started and getting to you know,
introduced themselves to the rest of the team and the
city and the twelves. I think we're going to be
really proud of our quarterback here and then obviously as
a football player, and as a quarterback, just a heck
of a player, just tough as nails, from my opinion,
great arm me you go through all the talent and
all we can talk about that to we're blue in
(02:51):
the face. But just really excited about what Sam's going
to bring to our football team and just an exciting time.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
All right, all right, So everybody the one word I
got from those two statements excited. Everybody's excited. Now, why
did Sam Darnold choose the Seahawks?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Just kind of talking through obviously heard the Geno news
when that broke, I kind of understood that this could
potentially be a spot for me, and then, you know what,
was it Monday, just kind of you know, letting, letting
my agents and these guys kind of figure out, you
know what would be a really good fit for me,
and that kind of to you know, came to fruition
(03:34):
a little bit, and and then finally on Wednesday, you know,
finally getting getting to talk to some of these coaches
and you know, even have some of the players reach
out to me, guys that I played with at USC,
having Jackson reach out as well. Just so eager, you know,
I met Jackson at the Pro Bowl and just so
eager to to to get to know each other and uh,
(03:55):
you know, get get working, you know, talking about when
we're gonna throw each other and stuff like that. So
just very excited man about this opportunity and just to
just to go to work, go to work with these
guys in the building every single day.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
How about Mike McDonald on how did you go from
Gino to Donald?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
You know, it's an interesting series of events for sure,
But when you know became a parent that we were
gonna have to pivot away from Gino, then you know,
I'm definitely hoping that it was gonna with Sam. You know,
there's some time there, but everyone involved in the process
was awesome. John was awesome, Joey Lane was awesome, All
of our proposonel people were on it, so just really
(04:35):
fortunate that it worked out the way it did. And
there's some great there's great quarterbacks out there that you
know that we looked into. But once we decided to
make the drink the move with Gino understanding who was
out there, definitely, you know, Sam became, you know, the
number one focus pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, it sounds like someone's gonna get electrocuted there. At
one point. Oh boy, I you know, I got to
give management a little crap. I mean, here's I think,
have you thought about this question out there? And I
throw this out there to everybody listening. What if the
Seahawks didn't get Sam Donald And let's just say Aaron
(05:14):
Rodgers goes to Pittsburgh or Minnesota because he's gonna end
up in one of those two places. I believe that
that's he's I don't think he's gonna stay in New York.
Why would you want to stay in that the Giants,
why would you want to like, get out of there,
Get out of there. It's a cesspool. The Giants have
nothing except for Malik neighbors.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Just just go.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
There's no reason to stay in New York whatsoever? What
if Seattle didn't get Sam Donald, where would this franchise be?
Could you imagine? Think about it? That would not be
a good position to be in if I was John Schneider.
(05:54):
Just think about that for a second. And I'm I
mean obviously glad it didn't happen, But could you ever
imagined could you imagine if that happened and Sam Darnold
not did not sign with the Seahawks and he went
(06:15):
to somewhere else, Boy, that would ooh man, that would
have been brutal, brutal.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But he's here. So that's the good news.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And now the question becomes, how is Seattle going to
replace the production left behind and the void without Dk
Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Those are big shoes to fill and can't do it
just by like one person. But I think like the
synergy involved that we're gonna that's gonna be needed in
order to do.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It is I'm exciting.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You know, as we start to build this, the guys
are in the building, the possibilities of people that we
can either quire the draft or you know, throughout the
whole process. So vision vision maintains the same.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Clint Kubiak spoke yesterday as well, and he is no
stranger to Sam Darnold.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I think we'll keep some common things. Uh, those are
some conversations Sam and I will have going forward. But
like Sam said earlier, throughout the league, we're running a
lot of similar things, right, It's just about how we uh,
how we deploy our five eligibles and getting getting Sam
on the same page with his receivers and tight ends
and running backs, and uh, you know, we're gonna do
do what Sam does best and what his teammates do best,
(07:36):
regardless of what may have been done in the past.
So it's just important that we have a heck going
off season from middle of April through June and get
to know each other really well and get our got
our offense going beyond the same page.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
All right, So everybody is in concert, everybody's on the
same page, and now it's time to produce and do
what you gotta do. I thought, you know, all things considered. Hey,
there was no cringe worthy moments. Thankfully, there was no
Douval Liam Cohen time moment.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yesterda.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
They gotta have some type of fun because they stink
over there.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I get it. Oh yeah, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Though cringe is okay when it's intentional, but when it's unintentional,
it makes it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Even more cringey. And it's just like oh say, oh no,
no no.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But Sam Darnold, he's trying to ingratiate himself here and
he wants to lead this franchise to getting to where
they haven't been in over a decade, and that's the
super Bowl, okay, and they want to get back to that,
and not only a super Bowl, but you know, contend
for multiple super Bowls like twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen,
(08:58):
and you know that time frame. You know, we want
to get back to that. So it's gonna be a while.
But the nine thousand pound pink elephant in the room
that is still never.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Going away, the no line.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Which you can call an O line, Mike McDonald, what's
up with that?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It's an ongoing process about where we're at. Turns out,
I don't think we have to play for another five
months or so, so there's plenty of time to develop
the guys we have in house, and there's gonna be
opportunities to to add guys when necessary that fit us
and are the right moves in those times So that's
where're at.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, in terms of your center and your guards, there's
no yeah, you're you're not going to develop in house.
Now you could acquire, you know, in terms of but no,
I'm not you know, I mean Josh Jones, I know
they sign him, they didn't get him from Machi's a
left guard, Anthony Bradford.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I just don't see it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And your boy I at center, I I you're And
that's the thing, man, I mean you can rely hopefully
on post June first cuts. That's gonna be a thing.
So that's where you're gonna have to capitalize there. I
just wow, going after DeMarcus Lawrence when you're in desperate
(10:32):
need of O line help and developing guys that are
already there.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I mean, if you mean Abraham.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Lucas, Charles Cross, fine, but like you, you can't be
serious when you're talking about that, because that sounds Jerry
Depoto esh.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You know where it's like, oh, we're gonna we're gonna
develop the guys we have.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, the guys you have aren't getting it done at
the plate at T Mobile Park, just like the guy
that you have on the old line are getting it
done on Sundays at lumen Field.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
So what are we talking about here?
Speaker 6 (11:08):
I would say they have two good tackles.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, not great there, They're good, so good, they're good.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You just need one guard to pop you get.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
You have three good linemen, an okay center, and maybe
you can plug in a draft pick. Your old line
is probably gonna be okay, better than what it was
last season.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
How come that hasn't been that way.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Because they struck out on Chris We didn't strikeout Christian
Haynes has A.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
He wasn't the guy.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Last year, Okay, despite Jim Mora Junior's endorsement that he
was gonna be like John Hannah two point zero.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Right, yeah, yeah, I'm shocked that that didn't go.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
You know, that's that's the one thing, because right now
they have two good If Olu can take the next step,
I think he has the brains.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
He's smart.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
He can do all that check down stuff and call
out stuff for the quarterback because that's what Clint Kumbak
would want from his center in his system. Cool, you
just got to find a guard. And to your point,
Anthony Bradford probably not, Salteya Limeya probably not. So now
you're like Christian Haynes. Can you be the guy didn't
really do it last season? It's only a second year
(12:17):
coming into this year, they're probably gonna draft another guard.
So that's kind of the position of need right now
is the G word guard. Can they find a starter
to be good? Can you be a Charles Cross on
the guard spot? Can you be a Lucas Healthy at
the guard spot? If they can get that, you have
five oko offensive linemen, I think this offense will be
(12:39):
a lot better than it was last season.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, I'm wondering if this scheme, too, will take some
pressure off the guys when you're running more, you know,
you're you're going you know, it's like it's obviously tougher
to pass block than it is to run block.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I mean, I think and you know, I mean, they're
both tough.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But if you're running the ball and you're getting four
and a half to five five yards to carry, then
that old.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Line is moving forward, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But if you're going to allow pressure on forty percent
dropbacks like they did last year for Geno Smith, it's
gonna be a long season. So we're back to square one.
I I just that's the thing for me on. This
is like, I love how we stay. We got five months,
like you got time. It's like, brother, right right, you
are right. I don't expect very flippant, very very flippant,
(13:28):
kind of like I don't care if you had five.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Days you need help.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
No, that was kind of my insight.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
It's like, dude, I know you had one year under
your belt, but to come out and be like, we
got five months.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, when I'm starting tomorrow tomorrow, It's like, Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Have you watched your old line?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I know you have. You guys been worst in the league.
It was really bad, I mean really bad. In Houston's
was really bad too.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, thank god the Seahawks didn't make it
because would have looked very similar.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's uh I I man, I gotta tell you. My
thing is just that I love Ernest Jones coming back.
I don't even mind DeMarcus Lawrence being acquired. It's just, man,
you're gonna give him eighteen million guaranteed for a thirty
three year old guy who's been injury prone o's that's
a tough one to swallow, especially for the fan base.
(14:17):
That is just the worst thing that could happen to
either the Seahawks and the Mariners. This year is for
the Hawks obviously the O line continuing to be at
the bottom of the league, and for the Mariners the
same thing with the lineup other than Julio and Cal.
(14:37):
I mean, it's just, you know, nobody stepping up JP Crawford, Like,
none of these guys doing what they're supposed to do
and stepping up the way Jorge Polanco. If that happens again,
it's like, how can you even blame the fans for
being disgruntled because it's the same thing every year.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
So, oh, you know, we're five months away.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Like, yeah, that's yeah, dude, I wouldn't have that was
not a good answer at all at all. Why don't
we hold onto that for a little bit, Well, why
don't we why don't we clip that one off? Clip
that one off for for future reference on the season,
you know, when they're going up against Jared Versu and
(15:21):
Branden Fisk in the Rams and you know, oh, we're
for you know, we're five months away. It's like we're
playing tomorrow. Yeah, okay, all right, just just remember that.
Just yeah, we have to play for another five months
or so.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
So yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Mean it's I could come back down.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, that one. I don't know about that one.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Man, Maybe they know something we don't. That would be nice.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
They kill the old Liney, this offensive line becomes top
thirteen in the league, is like, okay, that quote is
now a laughingstock because it doesn't even matter. You were right, Mike,
You're right, John. You guys figure it out. You got
it done. The offensive line is fixed. Sam Donald looks
like he did with the Vikings nine straight wins.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
We can only hope.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
We can only hope that's what the fans would love
to see.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Now coming up next, One of the things also I
want to get to is John Schneider, and he spoke yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I gotta tell you about him. He was.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Pretty definitive in his comments regarding DK Metcalf and Geno
Smith and what do we read into this? That'll be
next on MJ in the midday, ninety three to three KJR.
I literally, you know, I'm smart.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Madness.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I want to talk you know, college basketball. You know,
I mean it's championship week, and you know the madness
starts next week for real Tuesday Wednesday, but then the
real tournament starts on Thursday. So Aaron Torres from Fox
Sports Radio and he has his own podcast. He will
join us coming up at the top of the hour.
John Schneider met with the media yesterday and he had
(17:17):
some interesting comments about where the Seahawks are and why
certain things happened.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Did the DK trade requests catch you guys by surprise
or how did you guys kind of handle that when
it came down and get to the point where you
got that trade done on?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Yeah, a surprise. There was discussions, you know, DK, when
we're having very like a lot of personal discussions. I
thought we could fix it whatever it was. And at
the end of the day it was a no, and
he wanted to be traded. We pivoted and we move forward.
And what guys want to be here, you know what
I mean, and what guys that believe in what we're doing.
And you'd have to ask him for one reason or another,
(17:55):
it was you just wanted to move on, get.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
A fresh start.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I mean, it comes down to everything else. It's it's
all the almighty dollar, right, I mean, that's pretty much
what transpired. And I don't blame John Schneider for getting
out of the DK.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Metcalf business, not at that price. No way. I'm sorry,
I'm just I'm just not you know who.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm starting to think that if Dk Metcalf doesn't have
this trajectory improvement in Pittsburgh, not knowing who the quarterback
will be, I'm gonna give them. I'm gonna just project
it's gonna be Aaron Rodgers. But let's say it's not.
And even if it is, you know who. DK's becoming
(18:44):
kind of hit me today. He's really reminding me of
this guy. And this is not a bad player. He's
more talented, but it's it's their stats are becoming a.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Here's the thing about Dk Metcalf.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
His floor is this guy, but he's been but the
last two seasons, he's becoming more and more like Plexico Burris,
Big wide receiver, sixty four touchdown catches in his career.
Huge played thirteen years in the NFL. I think it
(19:28):
was a couple of years he was hurt, had a
nice career, but he needs to step up his game
and he's becoming a glorified Plexico Burris. I just look
at him right now, and that's who he is. He
should be Mike Williams. He should be Mike Williams and
Julio Jones combined. He's not He's Plexico Burris. He's a
(19:51):
glorified Plexico Burris.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
What Mike william are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Not Mike Evans, Mike Evans, Mike Evans, Mike Evans. No, No,
there's too many Mike Williams, Mike Evans. Uh No. But
he should be at least that that level.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Eleven hundred receiving yards a year, hopefully ten touchdown catches.
He's becoming Plexico Burris, who was another guy, that six
six guy, big receiver, super Bowl champion with the New
York Giants.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Kind of peaked in his first years.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But this is gonna be big for DK Metcalf in Pittsburgh.
I'll be interested to see because now I want to
see if he become better than Plexico. I don't think
right now. I think their career is pretty similar.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
That's an interesting one. Yeah, see hot take that.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, well I didn't even that player.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You know.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
Only only reason I remember Platza go's because I used
to play Madden all the time. He's not like growing up,
I was studying the game as I do now, So
that's a great pull.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
I would have never I thought you're gonna go modern today,
like I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Know, Yeah, no, I was just thinking of a big guy.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
You went back to the mid two thousand.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, like that, a big guy. He had a really
good first eight nine years in the NFL with Pittsburgh
and then the Giants.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
We're gonna end up career wise.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And then he ended up back in Pittsburgh to end
his career. But he uh, you know, aside from this one,
I'm sure unforgettable season with the Jets. But he's you know,
I'm just seeing that, and that's not a bad player.
He should be infinitely better his talent level, his his potential.
(21:33):
But it's like, dude, we're talking about a guy with
potential going into.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
His eighth season.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
That's not a great sign.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
No, Right, Eventually, I didn't do to cash out my
mind play on the field, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Well, and Pittsburgh really needs it.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
And if they don't get Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson could
be in play still, right, is that?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yeah, I think it's Russell. But we'll see, Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It's it's just I'm telling you he's he's Glory five Plexico.
John Schneider has something else to say.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
And when you're at the combine, you had a ton
of discussions with a lot of teams and you get
that's where we talked about down there, like the landscape
being set up that week. So you have to be
ready as a staff to be able to be flexible
and had in different directions and that was one of
them that had become evident was say lost out on Matt.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Stafford sounds like John Schneider.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You can tell a guy who's he hasn't slept much
of course probably in the last week or two or four.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
And.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Say what you want and see what you will.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That pivot that was huge because if they don't end
up with Sam Darnold, Aaron Rodgers ain't walking through that door,
you sure as hell don't want Russ. So what are
you looking at Daniel Jones? I mean it would have
been bad. You want to be in a position where
you have Daniel Jones. Look at Indian right now, they
have Daniel Jones and a guy they wasted a top
(23:05):
five pick on in Anthony Richardson a few years ago.
What a an absolute It rhymes with extortion that that
qb room is. I mean you imagine that. I mean,
Sam Howell and who are you serious? How about from
(23:32):
the four two five? Didn't Plaxico shoot himself in the
club by accident?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
He did? He did.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He gotta watch out when you put that thing right
there on the side. You gotta why he did by accident?
He certainly did. How about this DK is as whiny
as Antonio Brown Prima donna. I'm glad he's gone For
someone that dropped and missed as many catches as he did.
I couldn't stand him, especially when he used his binkie
mouthpiece he used to use when he first started.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Good riddance.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
I mean, wow, I think anybody would take a wany
Antonio Brown. He's elite.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, he got his career his first ten years in
the NFL. You would be hard pressed to find any
receiver other than Jerry Rice that had a better career
statistically than Antonio Brown did his first decade in the NFL.
He went kind of crazy a little bit, you know
after that, but uh.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
He went crazy. Mark you can say.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That, by the way, I will tell you. One of
the most entertaining follows on Twitter, Oh yeah, I mean
must follow on Twitter no filter none, especially when it
comes to Joy Taylor.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean no filter.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You think they'll be in a room soon talking.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Not no no no filter.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I mean he is too, and I'm like, man, and
he just met there's something, you know what, there's something
to be said for someone who just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Give a bleep anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And he does not he doesn't care who he offends,
he doesn't care anything, and he is all in on.
I mean, like Joy Taylor, Man, that AB eighty four.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Is your worst nightmare.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well, actually gonna think that she probably has a other
few bad nightmares coming up that have to do with
human resources and perhaps legal affairs going on right now
that are worse than Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown is just
saw on that open wound. But you know, oh Antonio Brown,
(25:34):
like I can tell you, I would go on his
Twitter handle and I can't even say most of the
things that he's tweeting every single day, but it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I mean, oh my god, look at.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What he look at what he tweeted out fifty nine
minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And it's funny.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
There's something of the day.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
The the rhymes with uh. It's just funny. It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh man, he just uh yeah, fifty nine minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Look at that one.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
The something of the day there, that's Antonio Brown. I
can't talk about it on the air, but it is
just man, that is funny. That is some funny stuff.
And we love that. You know what we don't love though,
if you're just showing us right now, we don't love
hert ohs in sports and uh, we're gonna continue. We're
(26:42):
gonna actually, in case you missed the very beginning of
the show, because we know that radio turns over every
three to six minutes, maybe less than that. Hart O's
in sports and someone went all hard oh on me
yesterday when I was going ahead and giving a lot
of phodos to Yannie Newman, who could be the next
(27:04):
big thing here in Seattle sports. Hardos next on MJ
in the midday, number one seed Auburn. The SEC is
hanging on barely forty nine to forty six with about
five twenty left, trying to advance to the semi finals.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
There. So yesterday I did this.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Thing about Yannie Newman, who is a guy that I
think everybody here in Seattle is going to wrap their
arms around and could be the next big thing here,
especially with the Kraken. And I said, listen, if this
guy looks half as good or a fraction as good
as he looked the other night and led the AHL
(27:43):
and most goals scored this season, and that's the one
thing that's been lacking here with the Kraken, is this
not having their own star.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Not to mention, this guy's a homegrown star.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So if he continues to do and achieve the the
heights and his potential for a guy who's only twenty
years old, I said, you better buy your number thirty
eight jerseys right now to all the parents out there,
and get on this Yonnie Newman bandwagon sooner than later.
And so somebody on Instagram my handles, Mark James talk
(28:18):
m Aarc James talking Christopher Kidd, you know, tweeted out this,
you know, my monologue yesterday just saying that, wow, this
is exciting to have a potential huge star here in Seattle,
especially for the Kraken, because Seattle has proven to me unequivocally.
I went to one game, but just even the other night,
you know the games that I've watched, especially the other
(28:38):
night in a game where they're playing out the string
the rest of the season against the Montreal Canadians, no
chance of postseason whatsoever, and the fans, and there was
a hard oh who said, it's not a jersey, it's
a sweater. So we got to thinking about hardos out
there and in sports and people who are you know,
soccer hardoes.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
It's not a fee, it's a pitch.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Baseball hard oh, it's not RBI's it's RBI. And you know,
there aren't fans at golf events, they're patrons. So if
you're a hard oh, someone who is trying too hard,
excessively enthusiastic, or overly dedicating to something, often to the
(29:24):
point of being annoying, or seeming desperate to impress others,
just stop.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Just stop.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Aaron Torres coming up, Max, We will break down March
madness on MJ in the midday ninety three to three.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
