Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Seattle Seahawks have traded the one hundred and forty
fourth pick to the Cleveland Browns. With the one hundred
and forty fourth pick in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft,
the Cleveland Browns select Chedoor Sanders, quarterback Colorado.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So that's what it soundedly, how about the Seahawks having
something to do about there?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
That day? The Hawks seven, Well, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I want to thank John Schneider for taking Jaln Milroe
with the ninety second pick and because he could have
gone a different direction. But that was the whole story
of the entire weekend, wasn't it. It was Shaduur Sanders.
And I'll admit I was on the air here on
Friday morning and I said, well, he's going to go
within the first nine picks tonight. I said it, Christopher Kidd,
(00:53):
you got I mean, listen to hey tape, don't lie.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's what the podcasts are for.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You can go to you know, check out wherever you
find the podcast MJY in the midday. Christopher Kid does
a great job of posting every hour. First hour is
probably already posting right now.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I know.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Friday's show was you can hear me saying probably in
the first hour and the second hour he's going to
go in the first nine picks tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So what about the rest of the Okay, there's thirty
two teams in the NFL, so there's twenty three more
picks in the in the second round, and then there's
compensatory picks that didn't happen. Okay, Okay, the third round. Oh,
he's definitely going in the third round. Right, that didn't happen.
(01:40):
Shut the front door. We wake up Saturday morning. Drafts starts,
I believe local time here at nine in the morning. Well,
I mean he's gonna be the first pick in the
fourth round.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Right right? That didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It was a precipitous fall that will be studied, that
will be psychoanalyzed for years in years now.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I certainly didn't have I kind of thought.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
As we got to Thursday, I was saying, well, I'm
seeing a lot of things here right now, he's gonna
drop by the first round.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Would have I been on that?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
No, No, I wouldn't have bet on him dropping out
a first round, especially when the team that a lot
of people thought were gonna take him at third overall
trades up to twenty five, and what do they do?
The Giants took Jackson Dart, so that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And this is what I teased an hour ago, and
I'm gonna deliver it for you right now. This is
from an anonymous NFL exisitecutive who allegedly wrote the following,
and I'm quoting. The assessment was true, but it was
(03:09):
severely sugarcoated. Imagine Terrell Owens, his father, Chad Johnson, and
Jim McMahon multiplied by ten thousand. This individual, speaking of Shaduur,
wore so much cologne to the interview assessment that the
coach suggested they go for a walk because he was
concerned the individual might faint from the overpowering scent. He
(03:34):
wore headphones around his neck with music playing throughout the
entire interview, and brought his entire entourage to the building.
In my thirty three years in the NFL, I've never
encountered a prima donna of this caliber. When the coach
asked where he envisioned himself in five years, his reply
(03:54):
was quote mayor of the city, followed by a loud
laugh and clasps. His quarterback skills are mediocret best. If
he were playing in the SEC, we wouldn't even be
having this conversation because he wouldn't have been a starter.
And let's say hypothetically someone does draft him and they
(04:14):
lose their first four or five games. Do you think
an organization wants to hear him complain with his father
screaming racism or critiquing the coaching staff on ESPN about
why his son is a subpar player. No team needs
or wants that distraction. The few defensive players who saw
him wanted us to draft him solely so they can
(04:37):
knock him out in practice. Let me repeat that sentence again.
The few defensive players who saw him wanted us to
draft him solely so they could knock him out in practice.
If anyone drafts him, my guess it will be the Cowboys,
with Jerry Jones doing a favor for Dion. You think
(05:00):
having a Hall of Fame father would lead to advice
against acting like a jerk. But he's not a team player.
He's a me player. He's a young kid, and young
kids make mistakes. But all this talk about quote God's
plan with the Sanders entourage. Well, God's plan just humbled
(05:21):
that young man and showed him his behavior stinks like
the rest of us. My prediction is he'll be a
backup and end up another Johnny Manzel. If there's one
person to blame for this, it's his father, who still
hasn't learned anything at fifty seven years old, walking into
Jackson State, then Colorado, dancing around like mc hammer, trying
(05:46):
to put the spotlight on himself during pregames and halftimes.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
He's a total jerk off.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Uh oh, Folks, if you want to talk about the
greatest rapp dis song of all time, you can look
up nas Ether or Tupac hit him Up. Well, that
right there is the ether or hit him up of
basically dropping the mic on Dion Sanders should Doure Sanders,
(06:18):
Shiloh Sanders. I don't know if they have a cat
name Mitten Sanders, if they have a dog.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Named Melassie Sanders.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That is the mic drop and the NFL spoke loud
and clear. Thirty two teams for four straight rounds, not
the first round, not the second round, not the third round,
not the fourth round. It took till the fifth round
(06:47):
to where should Dore Sanders was selected by arguably the
worst organization in sports and maybe the worst organization in
sports history, the Cleveland Browns. This was embarrassing and it
was absolutely pathetic. But the NFL all thirty two teams,
(07:12):
including Cleveland, who passed on Shaudeur not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, but six times until
they finally finally took them in the fifth round after
they took a left handed well, let's just say small
person Dylan Gabriel, who's he's a midget pretty much. He's small, Okay,
(07:36):
he is. And that was the story of the weekend
right then and air so like I said that in life,
you get what you deserve, and we heard about how
(07:57):
Chadeur met with the Giants. Brian Day wanted to go
through some cadences with him and some play calls and
he got flustered.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
He didn't like it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Cam Mood knocked it out of the building, as he
did with Cleveland as well. The team who ended up
drafting should Door and the Giants spent more time with
should Doer than any other team and they passed on
him for Jackson Dart in the first round after they
traded back in. Let this be a lesson, Dion, should
(08:32):
do eat your crow?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Pro?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Eat your crow, bro? How does it taste?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Maybe you lick it on the side a little bit,
maybe you know, wash it down, But you got to
eat that crow, bro.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And they're not the only ones.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh, there's a certain draft analyst on ESPN who certainly
is eating crow after he not only predicted that should
Do would go third overall to the Giants with the
third pick, the pick that they took on Abdul Carter.
He also prior to the draft had Shaduur ranked ahead
(09:12):
of cam Ward. I believe he's the only analyst who
had that. But here was the ultimate Dare I call it? Meltdown?
Meltdown with mel Kiper on Saturday with Lewis Riddick and
Rhys Davis.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
This is not about can you play the position? This
is about do we want you to play the position
for us? That's what this kid? Why would well look that.
That's a whole nother discussion that we've had in many
different ways.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
For not one of the toughest quarterbacks. But melt me me,
mel this.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Isn't about this is about this isn't about quarterback traits.
And quarterback characteristics, personal football career. This is that's not
about this.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
This is about this is personal.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Issue.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Mal, you're not You don't have to sell it to me.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I know what we're talking about it. You're right, you're right, Yes,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
But you know what the the draft has spoken.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
That's right. That that's the key mail.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
It's not it's not putting a value judgment of whether
those people play right or wrong.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
They did so.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Now whenever you're in circumstances in life, whether you like him,
whether you don't like them, whether they're fair or whether
they're unfair, you might have to deal with And now
said has to deal with every whatever reason, whether he
played a minute, microscopic percentage, zero percentage, or it's a
legitimate criticism of the way he conducted himself during the
(10:40):
draft process. This was the result. Now he has an
opportunity to answer it. I mean, I think yelling at
the NFL about it is not not a.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Quarterback who were boomer size and without happy when he's
the second they dropped, how they turn out. Nobody's arguing
by that why that can have race.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
The NFL has been clueless for fifteen years when it
comes to evaluating quarterback.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Clueless all that no idea what they're doing in terms
of evaluating quarterback.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's proof. There's proof of that. How many today we
know exactly what we're talking about with quarterback? They don't.
Nobody's batter the thousand there though. That's correct, right, I mean,
I think that's.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
All that matters now, is what happens when we talk
about it all the time. There is the evaluation phase,
there's evaluation in selection phase, which we're in right now,
and then there's the development and implementation phase. That's where
we're heading to right now. That's all that matters for him.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Kevin Stefanski, Andrew.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Barry and low have at it quarterbacks now and we
should know it well with any about it. How much
kids now get paid.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
They're professional, they're getting paid, they're commercials, they're out there.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
You gotta deal with that. If you're in the NFL,
you got to deal with that. Okay. He's saying.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Whatever he's saying behind him was first what he's saying,
I want to be the guy I should be this,
I should.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Be at Keon saying he's the best player in the draft.
If that's quarterback, second best of Travis Hunter. That's quarter
Who is it? What? What quarterback out there? Didn't they
should have been a high first round pack.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Again, nobody's criticizing what happened.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
We're saying he has to deal with the reality of
the consult.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Right on it.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Correct, that's all.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
My wife what his paid.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Everybody wishes him well as we do.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You know, there's one time in my life I wanted
to be the next mel Kuiper. Seriously, I wanted to
be that NFL draft expert.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I didn't think that there was probably who knows might
have been a better future in that than it would
have been being a sports talk ghost. But here I
am twenty years later, So I must have done something right,
even though I've made mistakes along the way. I've idolized
mel Kuiper. When I was in junior high school, high school,
I always looked at him.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I met him. He's a great guy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I used to idolize a guy by the name of
Howard Stern, who still, in my opinion, is the greatest
radio talk show host of all time. At least he
was until the guy that in the last decades become
a complete shell of his former self and a Hollywood
elitist joke that if the Howard Stern of the nineties
could view himself today, would think that he's a complete
(13:03):
total sellout.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I also used to look.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Up to Vince McMahon and well, well, you know, he
did a lot of great things. But you know, I
don't need to go too much further. It's time for
Mel Kuiper to retire. And who am I to say it? Well,
I'm the unsilent majority because everybody was saying it on
social media over the weekend. Everybody was saying it on
(13:28):
Thursday night, it carried into Friday and then a Saturday.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
This is a low point for Mel.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And it's time for maybe ESPN to sort of say, hey, Mel,
we're gonna let you retire on your own, but you
need to retire now.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It's over because at this point going forward.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Now, I'll say prior to a lot of this, even
though he's been slipping, Even though what did he say
back in twenty ten about Jimmy Clausin, What did he
say back then?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I mean we all know about that.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Came out and said that, well, if Jimmy Clausin isn't
a success in eight years, I'm done Jimmy Clausen came
into the league in twenty ten, he didn't even hardly
last six years. And in twenty eighteen, Mel Kiper did
not quit. And it's twenty twenty five. He needs to
(14:27):
quit or ESPN needs to tell him it's time to retire.
You are the NFL Draft. Just like when I think
of college basketball, I think at Dick vital right, But
there's gonna come a time that Dick. It's gonna come
a time where Dick's gonna step aside. But Dickens is
still better at his job at eighty five or eighty
four than Mel is at sixty five. And Mel, your
(14:49):
credibility's gone now it's over, like it's over. You doubled
down on stupidity. You're trafficking on absolute and competence in ineptitude.
And I actually I felt sorry for Mel Kuiper on
Saturday after that exchange, and I just said, well, Matt
Miller and philiates, come on down. It's time for you
(15:10):
guys to take over the NFL draft. Because Mel, it's
been fun, it's been real, it's been real fun. But
it's time for you to go, bro, and it's time
for you to eat Crow Bro along with Dion Shaudure
and the rest of the Sanders family. If you had
should Dore Sanders ranked above cam Ward cam went number
(15:33):
over number one overall, should Doure went in the fifth round?
That means thirty two teams for four straight rounds did
not think that Shaudre Sanders was worth even being a backup.
You should not be a draft analyst, period. And I'm
gonna give credit to my new teammate, our QB one
hum Millin, because when I was in Vegas at the
(15:56):
Circus Sports Book, Hugh Millin was up since five o'clock
in the morning, systematically comprehensively going through why should Door
Sanders should not be drafted in the first round?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Hugh, you look like a prophet.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Bro, And I am happy, honored, and grateful to call
you a teammate and hopefully we're friends because we were
texting each other all weekend long. Yeah it mel, it's
time to go, Bro, It's time to go. Just is
what it is. In prime, you couldn't have handled this
ish any worse.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Man. It was really bad.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Just because you were the greatest cover corner in NFL
history doesn't mean that your son deserved to be taking
in the first round, the second round, the third round,
or even the freaking fourth round.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You got him over cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I mean cam Ward just got forty three million guaranteed
like from the Tennessee Titans. Not to mention what he's
gonna get with under armour. You know why, because cam
Wore did things the right way. That's why he wasn't
about like Dan Lanning said, there, we're about wins, they're
about clicks. And Colorado found out and Dion and Shaduur
(17:16):
found out this weekend that clicks don't mean.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I didn't say it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I didn't say it, but gotta tell you eat that crow,
bro eat that crow. Well, there was someone who was
the dumbass of the draft and it wasn't Shadoor Sanders.
We'll get to that next on MJ in the midday
ninety three to three KJR FM. Yeah, if I was
Shadr Sanders' friends and I was anywhere in Oxford, Mississippi,
(17:45):
I'd be waiting for that guy to come outside. I
think you know what I mean, that's that's actually as
cruel and say what you want and say what you
will about Shadoor Sanders. He got what he deserved. But
he didn't deserve that. That was a d bag thing
to do.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That was cruel. You don't call someone who's going through it.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And I'm actually gonna give Shador Sanders credit on one
thing he said, you know what, I'll give him credit.
He he got the number that took dedication. So like
I'm like, okay, shaduur okay. You know hey, just from
the two five three, I always come around a new
KGr host. The Kuiper Schauder segment just did it. Welcome Mark, Welcome,
(18:24):
thank you from the two five three, from the four
two five. That rant was an all capital letters legendary
with five exclamation points from the four two five, thank
you very much. So how about this? I will tell
you you guys know a few things about me. I
hate everything California. I admire USC football, I don't like them.
(18:47):
I hate the Lakers, I hate the Dodgers, I hate
everything LA. I love Steph Curry so by I don't
know proximity that that kind of makes me be a
I'm not a Golden State Warriors fan, but I want
Steph Curry to win it eight titles. So as long
as they're not playing the Knicks or the Sonics. When
(19:09):
the Sonics come back in two and a half years,
Please Adam Silver, please make that happen.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I gotta give my.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Dumb ass Draft of the Year award two Well, Quinn yours,
quinn Ewers.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, yeah it's here.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Was a guy and that many people know faced you
dub in the college football playoff semi final. Now it
was over a year ago, right, so yeah it was
last It was the twenty twenty three season, so it
was over a year ago. Got that ass whooped by
the Huskies. Great job, Michael Pennix and Duneesay Pulk, McMillan,
(19:52):
de Boor and those guys. I loved every bit of it.
Oh I love I hate.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
So let me just tell you something.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You think as as much as I tell you I
hate everything, La, you have no idea how much I
hate Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame. So I can't tell
you that he didn't derive some enjoyment from this Quin viewers.
He went to back to back playoff semifinals. He went
(20:20):
this year and faced the Ohio State in the playoff semifinal.
They lost back to back playoff semifinals. You've been the
starting quarterback of Texas for the last two or three years.
He decides to come out. He wants to come out
in the draft. So I'm thinking, all right, well, you know,
(20:40):
second third round pick right something around there. No, no, no,
With a two hundred and thirty first pick in the
twenty twenty five NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected
Quinn Viewers, Texas quarterback, and I'm like, you've gotta be some.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Kind of stupid Quinn Yours.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know that this dude could have gone There are
reports could have gone in Miami, could have gotten a
Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Could have gone anywhere anywhere.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
And they were seeing he was gonna get anywhere between
four and a half to six million dollars on his
nil value. He's coming off back to back playoff semi
final appearances. By the way, the playoff he made against
you dub where he got his ass kicked. Those only
four teams were allowed in that playoff. This is the
first year of the twelve team.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
So he got drafted in the seventh round.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Two kickers and a punter went before Quinn Yours, Andre Bora,
galis Andy Automatic Andy. Yet they called him at the
U was selected by the New England Patriots before Quinn viewers.
What a dumb ass decision by yours. So I decided
(22:05):
to do my little Disney thing. Christopher Kidd doesn't know this,
but I'm gonna do a little Disney thing. You know
what they do when the MVP of the Super Bowl
and Jalen hurts, you know, and Christopher Kidd, I know
you don't have the music, and so I didn't ask
for it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So I'm just gonna sing it. Okay, you know that?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Do that?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Hey, you just won Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
What are you doing? I'm going to Disney World. So
I got a little something here for Quinn yours. Because
I hate Texas has will always be horns down for me,
always be horns down. I absolutely despise the University of Texas,
not the state, but the University of Texas Austin.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I cannot stand it when.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
You wish upon a star makes no difference who you are.
Anything your heart desires will come to you.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Quin Yours, You've.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Just gone to back to back college football playoff semi
final games.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I'm going as a two hundred and thirty first pick
in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. Hoards down, Quinn, Quinn, Quinn,
By the way, if you were driving out there, I
hope you didn't drive off the road by hearing me sing.
If you did, then I'm sorry. I hope you have
(23:30):
good insurance. Quinn, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Here's the funny thing about it now for Quin yours
and I was just lighting up my friend who went
to the University of Texas, lighting him up. Quinn Ewers
turned down three three million dollars from the Miami Hurricanes
to play in hard Rock Stadium for seventy five percent
(23:53):
pay cut, A seventy five percent pay cut to be
two a tongue of Iilo's back up with the Dolphins.
Great job, Quinn, great job, and you get my dumb
ass of the draft, my dumb ass of the day,
my dumbass of the week, my dumbass of the month,
my dumbass, well, let's not say of the year, because
(24:18):
Christopher Kid, there still is a guy in Dallas named
Nico Harrison. So, Quinn, you had made a dumb ass decision,
but you're not dumber than Nico Harrison for trading Luka
Doncic to the Lakers for nothing, But man, what were
you thinking? And hey, bro, could you have any more taxiderm?
(24:41):
You know mooseheads in the background? How many animals did
your family kill?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Do you see that? I mean, listen, it's legal.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I'm sure you got a license and all that, but man,
how many mooses on the wall?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
And you know, dead animals? Durham r like.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And you know what, watch him, watch Tua get hurt,
get concussed, and Quinn take over and be a great QB.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
He just shouldn't listen.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
He could have gone to college for one more year,
not at Texas because listen and I understood the position.
Steve Sarkejian, former UDUB head coach, was in Archie Manning
waited patiently for two years. It's Arch's time now arch
will probably be the number one pick in next year's
NFL draft. So Quinn had to go. But he could
have made four to six million dollars on the open
(25:36):
market and he got drafted in the seventh round. Bro,
what are you doing? What are you doing? And if
you want me to sing more, let me know on
the text line, because I got more?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Where that came from?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Four?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Nine four or five one? I mean, listen, I got
a little bit of Frank Sinatra and my voice when
you wish upon a star.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, I got a little. I got a lot more
where that came from a lot more. Yeah. So let
me know.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
If that broke the glass in your house and you're
listening on speaker, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I you know, it just is what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
But uh, quen, yours not your finest moment. But this
is why Seattle and people from Seattle so much smarter
than everybody across the country. This is a very highly
intellectual maybe the high so certainly the smartest place that
I've ever lived. And believe me, I can tell you,
(26:34):
having lived in Florida for over a decade off and
on for over a decade, it is uh, and lived
in a bunch of other places, Seattle is by far
and away the smartest cities I've ever lived. Well, it's
time to celebrate Seattle. And I can say now that
I'm here one of ours, and I love I love
this icon.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
These icons they get there just to who is it?
You gotta state for that coming up next? You do
not want to miss this next.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
This is why I always thought Seattle was the coolest city.
In the world, and it's about to be recognized again
because of these Seattle icons. Next on MJ in the
midday ninety three to three KJR FM. It's time for
these icons and they will rightfully be inducted into the
(27:25):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this November Seattle Zone Soundgarden,
they will finally be immortalized. They're going in the twenty
twenty five class, along with Outcast, the White Stripes, Chubby Checker,
Cindy Laupper, and seventies rock group called Bad Company. But
(27:46):
it's about time for Soundgarden. Third time was a charm.
They had gotten passed over the first two times, and
all that matters that you get in, So that's the
great part. Obviously. It's the third group to already from
that alternative grunge era back in the nineties when I,
you know, went from junior high to high school and
(28:10):
and just that was the most impressionable music of my life.
And I always thought, I always said, God, Seattle must
be the coolest city in the entire world.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Why can't I live in a cool place like Seattle. Really,
I just grew you know, you know, I grew up in.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Springfield, mass It was fine hour from Fenway and an
hour and a half from Gillette Stable. Back then it
was Foxboro Stadium when the Patriots played. But like, there
was nothing cool on the music scene at that time
in New England.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You had New Kids on the.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Block and Marky Mark and you guys had Neirvada, Pearl Jam,
Soundgarden and on the Mount Grunge More, not to be
confused with Mount Rushmore. The Mount Grunge More alternative music
that defied, defined a generation and became a revolution not
(29:12):
just in the PNW but around the country and around
the world. The Seattle Sound. I'm so happy for Soundgarden,
I really am love them. I'm also sad that and
I believe Alison Chains will eventually be inducted into the
Hall of Fame, hopefully sooner than later. But you know
(29:34):
what's the saddest part about all this, Three or four
of those groups, three out of those four groups, all
the lead.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Singers are dead. They're no longer with us, Kirk.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Cobain, Chris Cornell and of course the late Lane Staley
of Alison Chains. So hold your head up and pound
your chest, Seattle.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
This is big, This is really big.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
When I saw that this week, and I said, no, no, no,
I'm doing a segment on this thing because Soundgarden is
and I want to talk and listen for those of
you on the text line. Are if those of you
you can tweet at me or DM me on Twitter.
My handles Mark James, MRC James DMS always open Instagram,
Mark James talk.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
What was it like for you? If you're between the age.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Of I guess I would say you thirty about forty,
like probably late thirties to early fifties or like late
thirties on. I don't think anybody you know, Christopher kid,
you're thirty two, so you you were born right when
that thing was blowing up.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
So I know you were born nineteen ninety two. Ain't
no way that thing.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Nirvana had just released smells like Teen Spirit ninety one,
so you were no way, you know.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
But if you were, let's just say that you were
born by nineteen eight four.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
You would have been seven when Nirvana came out with
smells like teen Spirit. I want to know what was
it like here? I really want to know. I'm gonna
talk to Ian Ferness when he comes up. We do
cross talk in an hour. I just if I could
go in a time machine and like you know, you
could just literally get in a time machine, say hey,
you could go back to any era when you want.
(31:25):
I would want to come to Seattle in nineteen ninety,
ninety one, ninety two, ninety three, ninety four. I was
here in ninety five for the Final four. I was
here then, but I would want to live here. And
I want to know what with that?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
What was that like for you?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
And I'm sure a lot of you you know that
you grew up that time, your parents now you guys
got kids, and just tell me just what because that
is the coolest music of my life, the Seattle sound
of the nineties. And I am honored. And I'm gonna
go visit the Kurk Cobain how and the bench and everything.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I want to see that.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But I just sub Pop Records, which was the label
of Nirvana. What was that like for you? Please hit
me up on Twitter on Instagram. I want on the
text line four nine four five one. You can leave
the voice text. We won't get to it today, but
we'll get to it tomorrow. If you are at least
over forty years old, what do you remember about about
(32:26):
being here in the early to mid nineties in Seattle
and that sound What was it like? Because from I
will tell you, from the outside looking in, this place
was the coolest place in the world. From the outside
looking in, I can't even imagine what it was like
to be here and be alive in that time here
(32:48):
in the two oh six. So please, but congratulations to Soundgarden.
It's time and Alison James will happen and then the
official Mount Grunge Moore will have all for Seattle iconic
groups Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and then eventually Alison Chains.
(33:10):
They'll get in one day, they'll get in. But I
thought that was really cool, and I'm like, gotta do
a segment on that. Man, gotta do that, gotta do
I want to know, but please literally tell me. I
want to know what it was like at that time
because I always looked at Seattle at being this cool place.
That was like you gotta be cool to go to Seattle,
Like you gotta be you know what I mean? It
was like, really I got talked to Softie and Ian
(33:32):
about that, but I want to hear from you the
audience what that was like. All right, coming up next,
It's time to get out the red pen. We do
draft grades with one of the best draft analysts on
the planet, Nick Bombgardner from The Athletic. Right here next
on MJ in the midday ninety three to three KJR FM,
The Seattle Seahawks have traded the one hundred and forty
fourth pick to the Cleveland Browns. With the one hundred
and forty fourth pick in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft,
the Cleveland Browns select Chedoor Sanders, quarterback Colorado.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So that's what it soundedly, how about the Seahawks having
something to do about there?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
That day? The Hawks seven, Well, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I want to thank John Schneider for taking Jaln Milroe
with the ninety second pick and because he could have
gone a different direction. But that was the whole story
of the entire weekend, wasn't it. It was Shaduur Sanders.
And I'll admit I was on the air here on
Friday morning and I said, well, he's going to go
within the first nine picks tonight. I said it, Christopher Kidd,
(00:53):
you got I mean, listen to hey tape, don't lie.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's what the podcasts are for.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You can go to you know, check out wherever you
find the podcast MJY in the midday. Christopher Kid does
a great job of posting every hour. First hour is
probably already posting right now.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I know.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Friday's show was you can hear me saying probably in
the first hour and the second hour he's going to
go in the first nine picks tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So what about the rest of the Okay, there's thirty
two teams in the NFL, so there's twenty three more
picks in the in the second round, and then there's
compensatory picks that didn't happen. Okay, Okay, the third round. Oh,
he's definitely going in the third round. Right, that didn't happen.
(01:40):
Shut the front door. We wake up Saturday morning. Drafts starts,
I believe local time here at nine in the morning. Well,
I mean he's gonna be the first pick in the
fourth round.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Right right? That didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It was a precipitous fall that will be studied, that
will be psychoanalyzed for years in years now.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I certainly didn't have I kind of thought.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
As we got to Thursday, I was saying, well, I'm
seeing a lot of things here right now, he's gonna
drop by the first round.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Would have I been on that?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
No, No, I wouldn't have bet on him dropping out
a first round, especially when the team that a lot
of people thought were gonna take him at third overall
trades up to twenty five, and what do they do?
The Giants took Jackson Dart, so that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And this is what I teased an hour ago, and
I'm gonna deliver it for you right now. This is
from an anonymous NFL exisitecutive who allegedly wrote the following,
and I'm quoting. The assessment was true, but it was
(03:09):
severely sugarcoated. Imagine Terrell Owens, his father, Chad Johnson, and
Jim McMahon multiplied by ten thousand. This individual, speaking of Shaduur,
wore so much cologne to the interview assessment that the
coach suggested they go for a walk because he was
concerned the individual might faint from the overpowering scent. He
(03:34):
wore headphones around his neck with music playing throughout the
entire interview, and brought his entire entourage to the building.
In my thirty three years in the NFL, I've never
encountered a prima donna of this caliber. When the coach
asked where he envisioned himself in five years, his reply
(03:54):
was quote mayor of the city, followed by a loud
laugh and clasps. His quarterback skills are mediocret best. If
he were playing in the SEC, we wouldn't even be
having this conversation because he wouldn't have been a starter.
And let's say hypothetically someone does draft him and they
(04:14):
lose their first four or five games. Do you think
an organization wants to hear him complain with his father
screaming racism or critiquing the coaching staff on ESPN about
why his son is a subpar player. No team needs
or wants that distraction. The few defensive players who saw
him wanted us to draft him solely so they can
(04:37):
knock him out in practice. Let me repeat that sentence again.
The few defensive players who saw him wanted us to
draft him solely so they could knock him out in practice.
If anyone drafts him, my guess it will be the Cowboys,
with Jerry Jones doing a favor for Dion. You think
(05:00):
having a Hall of Fame father would lead to advice
against acting like a jerk. But he's not a team player.
He's a me player. He's a young kid, and young
kids make mistakes. But all this talk about quote God's
plan with the Sanders entourage. Well, God's plan just humbled
(05:21):
that young man and showed him his behavior stinks like
the rest of us. My prediction is he'll be a
backup and end up another Johnny Manzel. If there's one
person to blame for this, it's his father, who still
hasn't learned anything at fifty seven years old, walking into
Jackson State, then Colorado, dancing around like mc hammer, trying
(05:46):
to put the spotlight on himself during pregames and halftimes.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
He's a total jerk off.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Uh oh, Folks, if you want to talk about the
greatest rapp dis song of all time, you can look
up nas Ether or Tupac hit him Up. Well, that
right there is the ether or hit him up of
basically dropping the mic on Dion Sanders should Doure Sanders,
(06:18):
Shiloh Sanders. I don't know if they have a cat
name Mitten Sanders, if they have a dog.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Named Melassie Sanders.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That is the mic drop and the NFL spoke loud
and clear. Thirty two teams for four straight rounds, not
the first round, not the second round, not the third round,
not the fourth round. It took till the fifth round
(06:47):
to where should Dore Sanders was selected by arguably the
worst organization in sports and maybe the worst organization in
sports history, the Cleveland Browns. This was embarrassing and it
was absolutely pathetic. But the NFL all thirty two teams,
(07:12):
including Cleveland, who passed on Shaudeur not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, but six times until
they finally finally took them in the fifth round after
they took a left handed well, let's just say small
person Dylan Gabriel, who's he's a midget pretty much. He's small, Okay,
(07:36):
he is. And that was the story of the weekend
right then and air so like I said that in life,
you get what you deserve, and we heard about how
(07:57):
Chadeur met with the Giants. Brian Day wanted to go
through some cadences with him and some play calls and
he got flustered.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
He didn't like it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Cam Mood knocked it out of the building, as he
did with Cleveland as well. The team who ended up
drafting should Door and the Giants spent more time with
should Doer than any other team and they passed on
him for Jackson Dart in the first round after they
traded back in. Let this be a lesson, Dion, should
(08:32):
do eat your crow?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Pro?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Eat your crow, bro? How does it taste?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Maybe you lick it on the side a little bit,
maybe you know, wash it down, But you got to
eat that crow, bro.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And they're not the only ones.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh, there's a certain draft analyst on ESPN who certainly
is eating crow after he not only predicted that should
Do would go third overall to the Giants with the
third pick, the pick that they took on Abdul Carter.
He also prior to the draft had Shaduur ranked ahead
(09:12):
of cam Ward. I believe he's the only analyst who
had that. But here was the ultimate Dare I call it? Meltdown?
Meltdown with mel Kiper on Saturday with Lewis Riddick and
Rhys Davis.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
This is not about can you play the position? This
is about do we want you to play the position
for us? That's what this kid? Why would well look that.
That's a whole nother discussion that we've had in many
different ways.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
For not one of the toughest quarterbacks. But melt me me,
mel this.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Isn't about this is about this isn't about quarterback traits.
And quarterback characteristics, personal football career. This is that's not
about this.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
This is about this is personal.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Issue.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Mal, you're not You don't have to sell it to me.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I know what we're talking about it. You're right, you're right, Yes,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
But you know what the the draft has spoken.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
That's right. That that's the key mail.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
It's not it's not putting a value judgment of whether
those people play right or wrong.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
They did so.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Now whenever you're in circumstances in life, whether you like him,
whether you don't like them, whether they're fair or whether
they're unfair, you might have to deal with And now
said has to deal with every whatever reason, whether he
played a minute, microscopic percentage, zero percentage, or it's a
legitimate criticism of the way he conducted himself during the
(10:40):
draft process. This was the result. Now he has an
opportunity to answer it. I mean, I think yelling at
the NFL about it is not not a.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Quarterback who were boomer size and without happy when he's
the second they dropped, how they turn out. Nobody's arguing
by that why that can have race.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
The NFL has been clueless for fifteen years when it
comes to evaluating quarterback.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Clueless all that no idea what they're doing in terms
of evaluating quarterback.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's proof. There's proof of that. How many today we
know exactly what we're talking about with quarterback? They don't.
Nobody's batter the thousand there though. That's correct, right, I mean,
I think that's.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
All that matters now, is what happens when we talk
about it all the time. There is the evaluation phase,
there's evaluation in selection phase, which we're in right now,
and then there's the development and implementation phase. That's where
we're heading to right now. That's all that matters for him.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Kevin Stefanski, Andrew.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Barry and low have at it quarterbacks now and we
should know it well with any about it. How much
kids now get paid.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
They're professional, they're getting paid, they're commercials, they're out there.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
You gotta deal with that. If you're in the NFL,
you got to deal with that. Okay. He's saying.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Whatever he's saying behind him was first what he's saying,
I want to be the guy I should be this,
I should.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Be at Keon saying he's the best player in the draft.
If that's quarterback, second best of Travis Hunter. That's quarter
Who is it? What? What quarterback out there? Didn't they
should have been a high first round pack.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Again, nobody's criticizing what happened.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
We're saying he has to deal with the reality of
the consult.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Right on it.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Correct, that's all.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
My wife what his paid.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Everybody wishes him well as we do.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You know, there's one time in my life I wanted
to be the next mel Kuiper. Seriously, I wanted to
be that NFL draft expert.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I didn't think that there was probably who knows might
have been a better future in that than it would
have been being a sports talk ghost. But here I
am twenty years later, So I must have done something right,
even though I've made mistakes along the way. I've idolized
mel Kuiper. When I was in junior high school, high school,
I always looked at him.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I met him. He's a great guy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I used to idolize a guy by the name of
Howard Stern, who still, in my opinion, is the greatest
radio talk show host of all time. At least he
was until the guy that in the last decades become
a complete shell of his former self and a Hollywood
elitist joke that if the Howard Stern of the nineties
could view himself today, would think that he's a complete
(13:03):
total sellout.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I also used to look.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Up to Vince McMahon and well, well, you know, he
did a lot of great things. But you know, I
don't need to go too much further. It's time for
Mel Kuiper to retire. And who am I to say it? Well,
I'm the unsilent majority because everybody was saying it on
social media over the weekend. Everybody was saying it on
(13:28):
Thursday night, it carried into Friday and then a Saturday.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
This is a low point for Mel.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And it's time for maybe ESPN to sort of say, hey, Mel,
we're gonna let you retire on your own, but you
need to retire now.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It's over because at this point going forward.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Now, I'll say prior to a lot of this, even
though he's been slipping, Even though what did he say
back in twenty ten about Jimmy Clausin, What did he
say back then?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I mean we all know about that.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Came out and said that, well, if Jimmy Clausin isn't
a success in eight years, I'm done Jimmy Clausen came
into the league in twenty ten, he didn't even hardly
last six years. And in twenty eighteen, Mel Kiper did
not quit. And it's twenty twenty five. He needs to
(14:27):
quit or ESPN needs to tell him it's time to retire.
You are the NFL Draft. Just like when I think
of college basketball, I think at Dick vital right, But
there's gonna come a time that Dick. It's gonna come
a time where Dick's gonna step aside. But Dickens is
still better at his job at eighty five or eighty
four than Mel is at sixty five. And Mel, your
(14:49):
credibility's gone now it's over, like it's over. You doubled
down on stupidity. You're trafficking on absolute and competence in ineptitude.
And I actually I felt sorry for Mel Kuiper on
Saturday after that exchange, and I just said, well, Matt
Miller and philiates, come on down. It's time for you
(15:10):
guys to take over the NFL draft. Because Mel, it's
been fun, it's been real, it's been real fun. But
it's time for you to go, bro, and it's time
for you to eat Crow Bro along with Dion Shaudure
and the rest of the Sanders family. If you had
should Dore Sanders ranked above cam Ward cam went number
(15:33):
over number one overall, should Doure went in the fifth round?
That means thirty two teams for four straight rounds did
not think that Shaudre Sanders was worth even being a backup.
You should not be a draft analyst, period. And I'm
gonna give credit to my new teammate, our QB one
hum Millin, because when I was in Vegas at the
(15:56):
Circus Sports Book, Hugh Millin was up since five o'clock
in the morning, systematically comprehensively going through why should Door
Sanders should not be drafted in the first round?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Hugh, you look like a prophet.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Bro, And I am happy, honored, and grateful to call
you a teammate and hopefully we're friends because we were
texting each other all weekend long. Yeah it mel, it's
time to go, Bro, It's time to go. Just is
what it is. In prime, you couldn't have handled this
ish any worse.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Man. It was really bad.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Just because you were the greatest cover corner in NFL
history doesn't mean that your son deserved to be taking
in the first round, the second round, the third round,
or even the freaking fourth round.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You got him over cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I mean cam Ward just got forty three million guaranteed
like from the Tennessee Titans. Not to mention what he's
gonna get with under armour. You know why, because cam
Wore did things the right way. That's why he wasn't
about like Dan Lanning said, there, we're about wins, they're
about clicks. And Colorado found out and Dion and Shaduur
(17:16):
found out this weekend that clicks don't mean.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I didn't say it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I didn't say it, but gotta tell you eat that crow,
bro eat that crow. Well, there was someone who was
the dumbass of the draft and it wasn't Shadoor Sanders.
We'll get to that next on MJ in the midday
ninety three to three KJR FM. Yeah, if I was
Shadr Sanders' friends and I was anywhere in Oxford, Mississippi,
(17:45):
I'd be waiting for that guy to come outside. I
think you know what I mean, that's that's actually as
cruel and say what you want and say what you
will about Shadoor Sanders. He got what he deserved. But
he didn't deserve that. That was a d bag thing
to do.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That was cruel. You don't call someone who's going through it.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And I'm actually gonna give Shador Sanders credit on one
thing he said, you know what, I'll give him credit.
He he got the number that took dedication. So like
I'm like, okay, shaduur okay. You know hey, just from
the two five three, I always come around a new
KGr host. The Kuiper Schauder segment just did it. Welcome Mark, Welcome,
(18:24):
thank you from the two five three, from the four
two five. That rant was an all capital letters legendary
with five exclamation points from the four two five, thank
you very much. So how about this? I will tell
you you guys know a few things about me. I
hate everything California. I admire USC football, I don't like them.
(18:47):
I hate the Lakers, I hate the Dodgers, I hate
everything LA. I love Steph Curry so by I don't
know proximity that that kind of makes me be a
I'm not a Golden State Warriors fan, but I want
Steph Curry to win it eight titles. So as long
as they're not playing the Knicks or the Sonics. When
(19:09):
the Sonics come back in two and a half years,
Please Adam Silver, please make that happen.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I gotta give my.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Dumb ass Draft of the Year award two Well, Quinn yours,
quinn Ewers.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, yeah it's here.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Was a guy and that many people know faced you
dub in the college football playoff semi final. Now it
was over a year ago, right, so yeah it was
last It was the twenty twenty three season, so it
was over a year ago. Got that ass whooped by
the Huskies. Great job, Michael Pennix and Duneesay Pulk, McMillan,
(19:52):
de Boor and those guys. I loved every bit of it.
Oh I love I hate.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
So let me just tell you something.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You think as as much as I tell you I
hate everything, La, you have no idea how much I
hate Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame. So I can't tell
you that he didn't derive some enjoyment from this Quin viewers.
He went to back to back playoff semifinals. He went
(20:20):
this year and faced the Ohio State in the playoff semifinal.
They lost back to back playoff semifinals. You've been the
starting quarterback of Texas for the last two or three years.
He decides to come out. He wants to come out
in the draft. So I'm thinking, all right, well, you know,
(20:40):
second third round pick right something around there. No, no, no,
With a two hundred and thirty first pick in the
twenty twenty five NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected
Quinn Viewers, Texas quarterback, and I'm like, you've gotta be some.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Kind of stupid Quinn Yours.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know that this dude could have gone There are
reports could have gone in Miami, could have gotten a
Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Could have gone anywhere anywhere.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
And they were seeing he was gonna get anywhere between
four and a half to six million dollars on his
nil value. He's coming off back to back playoff semi
final appearances. By the way, the playoff he made against
you dub where he got his ass kicked. Those only
four teams were allowed in that playoff. This is the
first year of the twelve team.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
So he got drafted in the seventh round.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Two kickers and a punter went before Quinn Yours, Andre Bora,
galis Andy Automatic Andy. Yet they called him at the
U was selected by the New England Patriots before Quinn viewers.
What a dumb ass decision by yours. So I decided
(22:05):
to do my little Disney thing. Christopher Kidd doesn't know this,
but I'm gonna do a little Disney thing. You know
what they do when the MVP of the Super Bowl
and Jalen hurts, you know, and Christopher Kidd, I know
you don't have the music, and so I didn't ask
for it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So I'm just gonna sing it. Okay, you know that?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Do that?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Hey, you just won Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
What are you doing? I'm going to Disney World. So
I got a little something here for Quinn yours. Because
I hate Texas has will always be horns down for me,
always be horns down. I absolutely despise the University of Texas,
not the state, but the University of Texas Austin.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I cannot stand it when.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
You wish upon a star makes no difference who you are.
Anything your heart desires will come to you.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Quin Yours, You've.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Just gone to back to back college football playoff semi
final games.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I'm going as a two hundred and thirty first pick
in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. Hoards down, Quinn, Quinn, Quinn,
By the way, if you were driving out there, I
hope you didn't drive off the road by hearing me sing.
If you did, then I'm sorry. I hope you have
(23:30):
good insurance. Quinn, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Here's the funny thing about it now for Quin yours
and I was just lighting up my friend who went
to the University of Texas, lighting him up. Quinn Ewers
turned down three three million dollars from the Miami Hurricanes
to play in hard Rock Stadium for seventy five percent
(23:53):
pay cut, A seventy five percent pay cut to be
two a tongue of Iilo's back up with the Dolphins.
Great job, Quinn, great job, and you get my dumb
ass of the draft, my dumb ass of the day,
my dumbass of the week, my dumbass of the month,
my dumbass, well, let's not say of the year, because
(24:18):
Christopher Kid, there still is a guy in Dallas named
Nico Harrison. So, Quinn, you had made a dumb ass decision,
but you're not dumber than Nico Harrison for trading Luka
Doncic to the Lakers for nothing, But man, what were
you thinking? And hey, bro, could you have any more taxiderm?
(24:41):
You know mooseheads in the background? How many animals did
your family kill?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Do you see that? I mean, listen, it's legal.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I'm sure you got a license and all that, but man,
how many mooses on the wall?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
And you know, dead animals? Durham r like.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And you know what, watch him, watch Tua get hurt,
get concussed, and Quinn take over and be a great QB.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
He just shouldn't listen.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
He could have gone to college for one more year,
not at Texas because listen and I understood the position.
Steve Sarkejian, former UDUB head coach, was in Archie Manning
waited patiently for two years. It's Arch's time now arch
will probably be the number one pick in next year's
NFL draft. So Quinn had to go. But he could
have made four to six million dollars on the open
(25:36):
market and he got drafted in the seventh round. Bro,
what are you doing? What are you doing? And if
you want me to sing more, let me know on
the text line, because I got more?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Where that came from?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Four?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Nine four or five one? I mean, listen, I got
a little bit of Frank Sinatra and my voice when
you wish upon a star.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, I got a little. I got a lot more
where that came from a lot more. Yeah. So let
me know.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
If that broke the glass in your house and you're
listening on speaker, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I you know, it just is what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
But uh, quen, yours not your finest moment. But this
is why Seattle and people from Seattle so much smarter
than everybody across the country. This is a very highly
intellectual maybe the high so certainly the smartest place that
I've ever lived. And believe me, I can tell you,
(26:34):
having lived in Florida for over a decade off and
on for over a decade, it is uh, and lived
in a bunch of other places, Seattle is by far
and away the smartest cities I've ever lived. Well, it's
time to celebrate Seattle. And I can say now that
I'm here one of ours, and I love I love
this icon.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
These icons they get there just to who is it?
You gotta state for that coming up next? You do
not want to miss this next.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
This is why I always thought Seattle was the coolest city.
In the world, and it's about to be recognized again
because of these Seattle icons. Next on MJ in the
midday ninety three to three KJR FM. It's time for
these icons and they will rightfully be inducted into the
(27:25):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this November Seattle Zone Soundgarden,
they will finally be immortalized. They're going in the twenty
twenty five class, along with Outcast, the White Stripes, Chubby Checker,
Cindy Laupper, and seventies rock group called Bad Company. But
(27:46):
it's about time for Soundgarden. Third time was a charm.
They had gotten passed over the first two times, and
all that matters that you get in, So that's the
great part. Obviously. It's the third group to already from
that alternative grunge era back in the nineties when I,
you know, went from junior high to high school and
(28:10):
and just that was the most impressionable music of my life.
And I always thought, I always said, God, Seattle must
be the coolest city in the entire world.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Why can't I live in a cool place like Seattle. Really,
I just grew you know, you know, I grew up in.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Springfield, mass It was fine hour from Fenway and an
hour and a half from Gillette Stable. Back then it
was Foxboro Stadium when the Patriots played. But like, there
was nothing cool on the music scene at that time
in New England.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You had New Kids on the.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Block and Marky Mark and you guys had Neirvada, Pearl Jam,
Soundgarden and on the Mount Grunge More, not to be
confused with Mount Rushmore. The Mount Grunge More alternative music
that defied, defined a generation and became a revolution not
(29:12):
just in the PNW but around the country and around
the world. The Seattle Sound. I'm so happy for Soundgarden,
I really am love them. I'm also sad that and
I believe Alison Chains will eventually be inducted into the
Hall of Fame, hopefully sooner than later. But you know
(29:34):
what's the saddest part about all this, Three or four
of those groups, three out of those four groups, all
the lead.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Singers are dead. They're no longer with us, Kirk.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Cobain, Chris Cornell and of course the late Lane Staley
of Alison Chains. So hold your head up and pound
your chest, Seattle.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
This is big, This is really big.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
When I saw that this week, and I said, no, no, no,
I'm doing a segment on this thing because Soundgarden is
and I want to talk and listen for those of
you on the text line. Are if those of you
you can tweet at me or DM me on Twitter.
My handles Mark James, MRC James DMS always open Instagram,
Mark James talk.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
What was it like for you? If you're between the age.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Of I guess I would say you thirty about forty,
like probably late thirties to early fifties or like late
thirties on. I don't think anybody you know, Christopher kid,
you're thirty two, so you you were born right when
that thing was blowing up.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
So I know you were born nineteen ninety two. Ain't
no way that thing.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Nirvana had just released smells like Teen Spirit ninety one,
so you were no way, you know.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
But if you were, let's just say that you were
born by nineteen eight four.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
You would have been seven when Nirvana came out with
smells like teen Spirit. I want to know what was
it like here? I really want to know. I'm gonna
talk to Ian Ferness when he comes up. We do
cross talk in an hour. I just if I could
go in a time machine and like you know, you
could just literally get in a time machine, say hey,
you could go back to any era when you want.
(31:25):
I would want to come to Seattle in nineteen ninety,
ninety one, ninety two, ninety three, ninety four. I was
here in ninety five for the Final four. I was
here then, but I would want to live here. And
I want to know what with that?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
What was that like for you?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
And I'm sure a lot of you you know that
you grew up that time, your parents now you guys
got kids, and just tell me just what because that
is the coolest music of my life, the Seattle sound
of the nineties. And I am honored. And I'm gonna
go visit the Kurk Cobain how and the bench and everything.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I want to see that.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But I just sub Pop Records, which was the label
of Nirvana. What was that like for you? Please hit
me up on Twitter on Instagram. I want on the
text line four nine four five one. You can leave
the voice text. We won't get to it today, but
we'll get to it tomorrow. If you are at least
over forty years old, what do you remember about about
(32:26):
being here in the early to mid nineties in Seattle
and that sound What was it like? Because from I
will tell you, from the outside looking in, this place
was the coolest place in the world. From the outside
looking in, I can't even imagine what it was like
to be here and be alive in that time here
(32:48):
in the two oh six. So please, but congratulations to Soundgarden.
It's time and Alison James will happen and then the
official Mount Grunge Moore will have all for Seattle iconic
groups Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and then eventually Alison Chains.
(33:10):
They'll get in one day, they'll get in. But I
thought that was really cool, and I'm like, gotta do
a segment on that. Man, gotta do that, gotta do
I want to know, but please literally tell me. I
want to know what it was like at that time
because I always looked at Seattle at being this cool place.
That was like you gotta be cool to go to Seattle,
Like you gotta be you know what I mean? It
was like, really I got talked to Softie and Ian
(33:32):
about that, but I want to hear from you the
audience what that was like. All right, coming up next,
It's time to get out the red pen. We do
draft grades with one of the best draft analysts on
the planet, Nick Bombgardner from The Athletic. Right here next
on MJ in the midday ninety three to three KJR FM,
