Speaker 1 (00:00):
Charles, it's so good to catch up with you. I'm
glad you're doing well. You de great on the draft,
and I gotta tell you as you as everything unfolded,
let's just start there. We'll get to Seahawks. But what
was your reaction of all the years, Charles Davis you've
been doing the draft, have you ever seen a precipitous

(00:20):
fall like Shadu or Sanders who was projected by just
about everybody to go in the first round and go
all the way drop to the fifth round.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, Mark, I don't think so, you know, just off
the top.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Of my head.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
And here's what I mean, and your question, I hope
I'm hitting it right. I think we're talking about top
level people that in the court of public opinion, right,
we thought we're going to be first rounders or you know,
top tens or what have you. Aaron Rodgers precipitous fall
was one of those weird situations where whoever got picked

(00:58):
first the other was going to go down the tubes.
And that meant Alex Smith, right, Alex Smith went first
that year, and then there weren't a lot of places
that were quarterback places, and so the fall began and
Green Bay stopped his fall and they weren't normally a
quarterback place. Like many people were stunned at Green Bay
stopped at fall right. Gino Smith the year he came out,

(01:21):
we thought Gino was the first round guy.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
He ends up going in the second.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
We've had conversations in recent years were Malik Willis and
Desmond Ritter Wreth first round picks.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
They ended up going in the third.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
But I don't think anybody just like you know, fell
out of their chairs on it.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
This is the biggest one. Look. I was there the
year Brady Quinn was supposed to go nine to Miami. Oh,
I remember that, Remember that one.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I remember, I remember that explosion. I mean that was
one of those ones that was back when we were
still doing.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
In radio City Music all New York.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, and the explosion of noise then was always Jets picked,
giants pick. Maybe some right, but for the most part,
Jets pick, giants pick. We're always going to be the reactions.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
That was one of the biggest reactions I've.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Ever heard in any draft going because we all thought
that was a lock nine to Miami. Yep, and they
take Tech and the place comes unglued.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
But now that that starts.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Now, that starts Brady Quinn's fall, right, But here's the thing,
Mark Brady Quinn's fall got stopped at twenty two in
the first round. We're talking about someone that we talked
about possibly being a top ten pick. Heck, when the
process started, we're talking about his top five pick. As
we got closer to draft day, most people were still

(02:42):
leaning on first round. I ended up in my last
mock draft not putting him in the first round at all,
and he didn't. And I don't take that any pleasure in.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
That just but let me just ask you right there,
why why did you have it going in the first round.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's one of those things where as you go through
the process, you have to get your information, you have
to do your own analysis, you have to do all
those things, right, I'm not gonna bore people with that.
My first mock draft, I sent him number one to Tennessee.
My second mock draft saim number two to Cleveland. But
as we got deeper and deeper into the process, I'm
hearing less and less from people that I.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Know that are in the know that he's going to
go there.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
And so with my analysis of him, which I thought
he's a very good quarterback, but I didn't think it
was a year where people were just sold on quarterbacks.
And my last instinct and thought was this feels like
a Kenny Pickett year. Maybe one goes in the first round,
maybe two. Jackson Dart didn't surprise me. I didn't have
him in my first round because I don't do trades,

(03:44):
so when I do my mock draft, I just go
one through thirty two.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Here's your spot.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Ye, Dart didn't surprise me. Okay, my first mock draft
I had him going three to the Giants, and everybody
lost their mind.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well he didn't go three, but he went to the Giants.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, so you know, I just knew that there's great
interest there. All I'm saying is, by the time we
got to it, I just had a strong feel that
he wouldn't go in the first round. But I'm not
gonna sit here and tell you, Yeah, I could see
him going into fifth. I thought for sure by day two,
Mark he would be off the board. Round two, round three,
I thought for sure that would be done. I went

(04:18):
to bed Friday night after the end of Round three.
Shocks the wrong word, because it takes a lot to shock.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Me anymore in this league, right, But I did go.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
I did go to bed.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Like, wow, that's a surprise. That's that really surprised me.
I thought he'd be gone by now.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So, yeah, you know, Charles Davis joining us here on
MJ in the midday and become plumbing hotline.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Charles.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I thought.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
One of the funniest things I saw a couple of
weeks after was saying it took two days to select
the pope, it took three days to draft Santors.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Amazing, amazing conclave was essentially forty eight hours, and Shure
ended up being on day three. Wow, it's you know,
sometimes look, the he draft is one of those animals
that you can't always fully explain, you know. And here's
where I thought for Shadeur Sanders that I thought was
a winning thing for him.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I don't know if you remember this.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
We were talking on day three and we've gotten through
round four and he hadn't gone, and I just to
I opined to the camera that I'm no longer looking
at it like an analyst.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I'm looking at like a dad.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
And right now I just want to give this young
man a hug, because in my mind he was hurting right,
He was like, Dad, what's going on? How am I
not getting drafted? Because I put myself in his shoes
with how much he's been touted. I thought, Oh my god,
he's got to be hurting so bad because he's confused.
He didn't know what's going on the whole desk. I
just want to give him a hug and be there

(05:45):
for him.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Then he gets picked.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Do you remember the video from when he got picked,
me and his brother, He and his brother River dancing
in the living room and then he jumps into the pool. Look,
I don't care if you're trying to orchestrate it. It's
hard to hide that kind of emotion one way.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Or the other.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
And he looked like he'd getting picked in the first.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Round, and I was by that he did.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
He's absolutely heartened by it.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
That this kid said, you know something, I'm gonna deal
with it. We're gonna go from there. My contrast was
Quinn yours. And this is not a slam on Quinn.
You but poor Quinn didn't on the seventh round. And
do you remember seeing the video of him accepting the
phone call?

Speaker 5 (06:26):
Oh, but it looks like someone shot his dog.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
He did not look relieved, and I feel and I
feel for him. Again, It's not a shout at Quinn yours.
Quinn Yours is actually much more the reaction I expected
out of Shador Sanders and Quinn yours reaction is much
more the reaction I did. I put myself in like
if this had been me, I would have been devastated
thinking I was going to go higher in the draft,
and I don't. So I give them both credit because

(06:51):
Quinn Yours has since done all the right things. I
accept the challenge. I'm going to do the best I can,
and there's no looking back with regret because Quinn Ewers,
he had both of them had eligibly to go back
to school, and both of them if they had gone
back to school.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Sanders and yours.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh make considerably more money this year in college football
than they're.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Going to make in the NFL, which is crazy, I know,
and that's you wonder. Yeah, No, it's unbelievable. Charles Davis
joining us here on MJ in the midday. Charles, So
let's start with that. Let's go to the hometown, Seattle Seahawks,
and you are one of the best draft analysts in
the business. I'm just going to give you the guys
in the top the first three rounds, Gray Zabel, Nick

(07:32):
Emm and Warri, Elijah Royal, Jalen Milroe, what did you
think of those picks and what John Schneider did in
the first three rounds.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Liked all the picks.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
And here's why Zabel we got to see up close
and personal the Senior Bowl.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Obviously the tape was there.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Four year starter at North Dakota State, but he literally
took on all comers at the Senior Ball. He became
the guy who was doing the job that people couldn't believe.
And the big time guys were calling him out on
the field and saying let's go, let's go, let's go,
and he jumped in there like you know, okay, no problem,
I'll take it on all comers. And he did it
as a center, he did it as a guard, he

(08:09):
did it as a tackle.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Didn't bother him in any way. Going he's a legit item.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I'm not quite sure where they're going to play him.
Is it center, is it guard, either place, he's going
to be fine. I would personally, I said before the
draft I drafted be by starting center. But that's just me,
Em and Worry. We saw him at the combine. He
blew everything away. You watched him on tape, really really athletic.
I hear a lot of Cam Chancellor come because because

(08:35):
of the size, he's faster than Cam ran like a
four three. I know he's crazy, right, but but here's
here's where I think the difference is Cam's going to
patrol that middle of the field and run game. What
did Richard Sherman say when Cam Chancellor hit you? He done,
he done, just tackle you. He takes a bit of
your soul.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's what right.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, I'm not saying m and Worry is not going
to hit you or because he is, but I think
he's gonna be a little bit more of a versatile
piece in terms of coverage doing things.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Of that nature.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Size is similar, I think play style might be a
little bit different.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Okay, Em and Worry.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
You know, Cam Chancell reminded me of those those safeties
of the eighties, right, the Dennis Smith's, the Steve at Waters, you.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Know, the Dennis Ball, hey way, Charles down there. I
was gonna say, let's throw Kenny easily.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right, obviously Kenny easily.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Those guys were masta Dons patrol in the middle of
the field.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's what that looks like, and that's what Evin Worry
looks like. He looks like one of those types of.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Guys you go on to a royal tight in for Miami.
Just didn't get enough balls throw on his way in
college and part of that was injuries throughout time.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
At the end of it, the injuries weren't there.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
You know, he's able to play more, and then they
started designing stuff for him. He started to see a
lot more tight end screens, make sure the ball got
in his hands, and he did a nice job running
after the catch. I think he's going to be a
very good player for them. The injury thing is something
that they had to evaluate. They must have come away
comfortable with it at the spot that they picked him
picked fifty in round two, and last but not least,

(10:08):
his mill round mil Roe is a real wild card
in so many different ways, because it'd be interesting to
see what Mike McDonald, his new offensive staff, how they're
going to draw plays up for him, and what they're
going to want to do to get him comfortable and
consistent in throwing the football. Josh Allen has skewed the
idea that you're a low percentage thrower in college, but

(10:30):
now you're almost a seventy percent thrower in the NFL,
which we've.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Never had before. Okay, it'd always been what's your saw
in college? You might improve by a degree, but not
that much.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now we're all thinking we can make that kind of jump.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Like Josh Allen, I.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Don't know, like for the most part, I still think
what we see is what we get.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
For the most part, he has.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
That opportunity to try and shouter that a little bit.
The running ability, well that's just off the charts, that size,
that speed. This is Anthony Richardson, you know, coming through.
There's a much bigger package of Lamar Jackson. I don't
think he's as fast or as elusive, but you get
the idea with that type of weight size hef to
him and you're trying to get him on the ground.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Good luck with that.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
But the big thing is going to be if he's
going to be a true legit starting quarterback in the NFL, accuracy, accuracy, accuracy,
and then again once again accuracy.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
That's gonna be the deal for him.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Charles Davis here on MJ and the Midday on the
Beacon Plumbing, Hotline and Sports Radio ninety three to three
kJ r FM. If you look at the big picture, Charles,
since this season ended for John Schneider and this Seahawks team,
I'm gonna just kind of paint the picture here for you.
They part ways with Gino Smith, trade him for a
third round pick, part ways with DK Metcalf get a

(11:43):
second round pick. They signed Sam Darnold, They signed Cooper Cup,
Marcus Valdez, Scantling, DeMarcus Lawrence, and then the draft the
totality bringing Clint Kobiac. They part ways with Ryan Grubb.
If you could grade right now today obviously Sunday's or
the Ultimate Judge jury execution and verdict today, just on

(12:04):
the totality of the Seahawks offseason, what grade would you
give him?

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I give him a B plus. Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Reason I give him a B plus is because I
think with the makeover as you as you articulated, you're
gonna have to give to get, Like you know, you
can't have it all. Not in today's NFL, right, there's
no hoarding. This is not the New York Yankees in
the eighties. No, you know you can buy everything and
keep everything right you don't have to give anything up.
The league just doesn't work that way. Salary cap, all

(12:31):
those things to go with it. So if you give
up Metcalf, you're gonna have to try and replace him
in multiple ways, all right? He replace the speed with
Valdez Scantling to replace you know, the ability to catch
the football and be a volume catcher with the kid
out of out of the rams.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why why I just gave it to me Cooper cup Yep.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
So you say you've got to do the replacements that way, right, Okay,
Grubbs didn't work as your offensive coordinator as you saw
a fit. Now you're bringing in Kubiak, who did a
really nice job going.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
He's been in the league for a while.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I used to call his games when he was a player,
and he was a safety at Colorado State. So I'm
feeling pretty old right now.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
But you throw that in there.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I love getting tank warrants for your defensive line, veteran leadership,
good production, really good locker room guy, all those things
that go along with it. And then throw into the
draft that we talked about because we went through the
first three rounds. We're not We're not gonna go too
deep I'm just gonna throw something at you.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
I was crazy about Tory Horton coming out of Colorado.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
I think getting him in the fifth was a really
nice deal. He's a guy who makes a lot of
plays downfield for you and that can help open things up.
I think Oots as a full back works really well
because Clint Kubiak likes to run two back stuff. I
think that's a really nice pick and a big, hard
charging runner. Damian Martinez from Miami, big back, thick back,

(13:55):
and the way this league is going, this gat back
more than has his place.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
But at the top ten.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Runners year and in year out of the last five seasons,
I would bet you the six of the top ten
are going to weigh.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Two twenty or more.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
And Martin going oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
And Damian Martinez is a big back. And I bring
that up because defenses are now kind of having do
You have to take what the colleges give you, and
with all those spread formations, have to defend every blade
of grass horizontally and vertically. Everyone's gotten smaller on defense
coming out of college, so the pro defenses are smaller.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Mark. A lot of these pro.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Defenses are playing nickel packages on down one right so
if you're if you're saying okay, if you're committed to it,
you line up and beat them up and say, okay,
let's see where you are third and fourth quarter if
we run twenty five times at you and see if
you can hang in there at that size. I think
we're seeing a good bit of that in the NFL,

(14:58):
where the big backs really start to take over the
late games by teams that are committed to staying.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
With the run, no question about it. Charles Davis, here
a great way you put everything. Now, the schedule, Charles
came out the other day, and you know, a big deal,
a huge deal the Seahawks really, you know, we're the
benefactors of that schedule. Twenty second ranked strength of schedule

(15:23):
in the league. The Niners had the easiest schedule, So
Seahawks twenty two. They start with the Niners in Week one,
but they play the AFC South and the NFC South,
so and then they will face mister metcalf on Sunday,
September fourteenth in week two. Overall, and you saw the
reset in Renton with what John Schneider's done. How do

(15:47):
you like this team going into this season with that schedule?

Speaker 5 (15:52):
And think of that. Andrews and I producer.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
We yesterday went through it and we even though had
different games that they would lose, we both came up
with a eleven and six. I'm not asking you to
give a prediction of that, but just overall, do you
see this being a potential playoff team?

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah? It is.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
And I thought that they missed an opportunity last year
to beat in the playoffs. Like the way they were
playing down the stretch. We got to see them, our crew,
we saw them at Arizona when they went into Arizona
and played a really nice ball game, put it together,
and by the time that game was over, really handling
Arizona like they played well that day. I thought they
had a very good chance of finding their way in.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
They did not.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
But I just tell you, having looked at the schedule, look,
we could go through game by game and go through
all that.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Here's where I'm going to go with.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
It, because to me, this is where the meat of
the schedule is. As far as I'm concerned, this is
just one person. Week seven versus Houston, all right, that's
an ESPN plus game, right.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Week eight is open.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Week nine at Washington, that's an NBC Game right night
game Week ten, Arizona, you're back in the division. Week eleven,
back in the division at Los Angeles Rams. That four
game stretch I think is huge to me when I
look at it how the season is going to go.
That's a big one because Houston's a two time defending

(17:11):
champs at the NFC South Washington we know is the
hot ticket going in this year, and they had a
really big offseason to try and keep propelling them forward.
Arizona felt like they were, you know, ascending last year
and got derailed along the way. Remember when through ten
games of the season, I think Arizona was in first
place in the NFC West and then you go at
Los Angeles, who who won the West went to the playoffs. Again,

(17:34):
those are massive games as far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Look, the rest of us going.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
To take care of itself the way it does. But
if things play out the way I suspect that as
you and your producer have gone through, if you're trying
to get to eleven wins, to me, that's the biggest
stretch of the schedule. About four teams that you've got
to deal with and deal with in a big way.
Plus two of them are major TV games.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
That the rest of the country gets to watch.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Great point, Charles, Obviously you're a guy who know, who
covers everything, including college football and thirty seconds or less.
Year two Jedfish at Montlake and DeMont Williams, nobody is
talking and Charles Davis, I know you know, but nobody
is talking about this guy in this team. What do

(18:18):
you see the Huskies in year two under Jedfish in
their potential ceiling?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, you remember what Jed did in Arizona and building
them up and giving them an opportunity, So I expect
that to happen, especially a place like Washington, which really
has a lot of pride in the football program.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I'll just put it to you this way.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
A good friend of mine who's really immersed in college
football literally called me last week and wanted to talk
about DeMont Williams.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
So that's all I'm telling you. People do know.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
In the KNOWEP, and now this is his opportunity to
go out there and show it to the rest of
the world.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Absolutely, Charles, It's always a pleasure to talk to you,
and I always appreciate the time that you spend and
look forward to your work. Great job on the NFL draft,
and he did not have shed her singers in the
first round, just saying I gotta I gotta sing your
praise Charles, and and you.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Appreciate you know.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
And no I take I take, no, I take no pride, no, no, I.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Hate to see any of the kids. It was just
the way it was.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
But I just want for truth of information. Yeah, if
you check my first mock and my second mock, I
had him number one and number two. I'm sure everybody's like, well,
how can you go from one to two to not
in the first round.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Well, you go through the whole process. You go through
the building, you go.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Through your evaluation, you go through talking with people, and
by the time it was said done, that's just what
I thought would happen. But as I told you, I
didn't think he'd get to the fifth Okay, I thought
he'd go day two.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
It just didn't happen.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, it did not.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Now he has a lot to prove there in Cleveland. Charles,
look forward again to uh talking again sooner than layer.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
Thanks again for your time, my friend.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Look forward to it. You take care of yourself. Continuing success, all.

Speaker 1 (19:55):

New York City, ok see n YC. Okay, yeah, just
a little bit okay. See Oh okay, God, I can't

(22:01):
stand him. I can't stand at all.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
I know Softy is from three to six.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
So Softy is so happy that Mark is choking on
his Starbucks. Shame on you, Mark, just say no to Starbucks. Hey, listen,
every now and then, you just got to have a
guilty pleasure. And that caramel frappuccino is my guilty pleasure.

Speaker 8 (22:21):
Yeah, I'm not a big sugary drink guy. Oh you
do you man?

Speaker 5 (22:27):
You do you?

Speaker 3 (22:28):
All right?

Speaker 5 (22:29):
What do you got next?

Speaker 8 (22:31):
On the text line Charles Davis. Wow, what a great
interview and guest. He is really really good. I love
hearing his insight about the NFL and the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, and he you know, like I said, B plus,
that's a great grade.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
I mean, it's it really is. It's a great grade.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
So you've got to be Things look really, really good
in terms of the Seahawks and going into training camp
and everything. All right. From the two oh six, Black
Mass was awesome, as was Depth playing Whitey Bulger.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yes, under unbelievable cast. Watch it. It's on Netflix right now,
but watch it now, thank me later. Okay, all right, I.

Speaker 8 (23:08):
Don't know about thank you later, but I might watch it.
Always hated Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders. Now I'm
a fan of the Vegas Raiders. And Pete Seahawks fired
the wrong guy. Some people believe that.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
And another guy said, quote from the four two five
Pete Carroll's statement word salad, and I don't believe it.
He took the world to the word salad with him
to Vegas standards.

Speaker 8 (23:31):
Yeah, I mean we always have these like funny like
Pete Carroll isms, Yeah that we had to translate for
what the fifteen years that he was here.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
What about the Russell Wilson isms those two? Yeah? Oh,
I mean what was more painful though? Russell Wilson, right.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
Uh, yeah, I mean as a producer, like Pete Carroll
spoke more often, so I ended up just getting really
annoyed with Pete Carroll press conferences. I'm like, he's he's
just not saying anything. But then you get the Russell
Wilson like with the Little Gohawks at the end, and
he just has this like weird, like preacher kind of.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
I couldn't stand that they think about Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Let me just say this about him from the outside
looking in, which I was at the time, it just
seems so contrived and so rehearsed, and it didn't seem
like it was authentic.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Well, it wasn't right exactly.

Speaker 8 (24:23):
Let's see, I'm trying to scroll through and I keep
getting this Liverpool fan who keeps telling me to co
Harterer because they won the title this year. James Dolan
is a d bag from the three to six. Oh
can't cheer for him, and it's already noted he wants
to vote against expansion, so goes Celtics.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, even he can't stop expansion, So don't worry about that.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Don't worry about that.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I'm beginning to think I wonder if he did maybe
send a message to Tom Thibodeau and say, hey, we
want to do this Friday night and get another home
game because you think about how much.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
More money that is?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah right, I mean and that ticket in that place
in every Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (25:00):
Oh boy?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
All right, let's go with uh let's see here six
oh seven. Literally the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard.
Trade game one versus game two for ticket sales. These
guys didn't become billionaires by accident. True, okay, fair, But
you get Celtics Knicks game six on a Friday night?

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
They said it could be the most expensive ticket in
Knick's history.

Speaker 8 (25:25):
I wouldn't put it past him, honestly, Like, I think
he cares more about getting the extra games at MSG
and getting those dollars than the team moving on in
one game earlier. Right, yeah, right, So I don't think
it's that far fetched. I don't think it happened, but
it's not that far fetched. Two six mark. We don't
usually root for New York or LA teams here in Seattle.
For me, the New York Knicks have been so bad
for so long that I'm actually rooting for them. We

(25:48):
need to be a good team like the next of
the nineties. There you go, there's a pity, a pity,
pitty cheer four.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Thank you all right? How about this?

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Uh Paid in Full with Makay fight for Wood, Harris
and Cameron, the real ones.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
No, thank me later, You're welcome. So there's that a
TV too fine?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Thank you? Yah.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
Hey, I think I've seen some of Paid in Full.
I think I've seen it.

Speaker 8 (26:13):
I have not seen it, but from the three six
oh here, if the Nuggets can win Game seven and no,
ok see, we as Seattle fans can never ever be
mad about losing to Matumbo in ninety four. Again, I
don't know about that. You can always have that, but
you could just kind of change your tone a little bit,
be like, hey, if you're gonna do it against us

(26:33):
in game seven and ninety four when we are the
number one seed, just like okay, say he is now
you can do it again, Corl Nuggets.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Hey, by the way, someone I didn't even elicit this
today and someone from the two oh six mark check
out San Fermo and Ballard. They have fantastic farm to
table Italian food. They may change their menus every day.
It's just phenomenal. I will no, Dad Anders, I gotta
read this one. Three six Oh didn't give his underrated
movie selection because cartoons don't qualify. They do qualify. Yeah, okay,

(27:05):
movie see I thought he was making just card. Okay,
did you I'm gonna go with Blade. If you guys
ever seen Blade? Hold on Wesley Snipes.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
I forget the name of the actor in it. Let
me double check. No, I think it's Wesley Snipe.

Speaker 8 (27:18):
He might be right, and Stephen Dorf nineteen ninety eight
it was Wesley Snipe.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yeah, how about look at that knowledge. Let me tell
you something.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
There's nobody in this station and I mean nobody at
this station who can go with me on movies, and
I mean nobody challenge Softie. All right, well other people too, Mark,
what is your take on Angel Reyes's heart eyes, big fan, huge,
big fan, and I just no. But she's great too.

(27:45):
Though she's great on the court, she's drop dead beautiful,
I mean gorgeous. I think it's great for the WNBA.

Speaker 8 (27:52):
There is a little bit of a personal rivalry, not
just a team rivalry between her, right, Caitlyn Clark.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Yeah, so I think it's good.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Well, that's what built the NBA as they went from
Magic and Bird versus Bird to Michael.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
You needed that, you needed that, So all right, Uh,
let's talk what do you say? Text of the day.
There's so many of them.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm just gonna go with this guy, Logan Gilbert, and
it isn't close until he proves us wrong.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
He's our number one.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I would start him in any situation that requires a win.
Exclamation point boom. Yeah, I love it. Connection, Yes, I
love it. I'm with you, Logan Gilbert, like I said
on Twitter eight days a week and ten times on Sunday.
All Right, the Mayor's at snow Kwami Casino. We will
talk to him coming up next and get his thoughts

(28:43):
on all the NHL playoffs and how the Leafs are
on the verge of the elimination. Gee, that sounds like
sort of an echo here for the last four decades,
five decades. We'll get to that next as we close
out here on a Friday and MG in the midday
Sports Radio ninety three to three kJ are.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Them all right?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Thanks again to Charles Davis from NFL Network, TI Dane
Gonzalez from Mariners Locked On Podcasts for joining us. Uh,
look forward to working with the Androws. You be here
again on Monday, correct, looking forward? All right, good, We'll
have a great weekend. Go Nuggets on Sunday. I don't

(29:29):
feel great about it, but we'll see. We will see.
That's why they play the games at at the end
of the day, That's why they play the games, all right.
Ian Furnace Snowkwami Casino mayor what do you think tonight is?
Is the as the doors one sang one of their
most underrated one of my favorite underrated door songs. Whin

(29:52):
the Music's over? Is the music over for the Toronto
Maple Leafs tonight.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
No, I'm gonna say no, but.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Not strong conviction, though with strong.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Cred because the Maple Leafs are still the like they're
just such an odd team, right, Like they're just an
odd odd team. Gun to my head. Yeah, I think
Toronto finds a way. I think Toronto finds a way
to force.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
Game seven effect for me. I think he gets some.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah, I think Brubi's like that's a different like Sheldon
Keith got fired because of this. I don't know. I mean,
I guess it comes down to goaltending too. I'm sure
this you know, stillar is not being available.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
It's hard for them.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
So but they heart of a champion Florida, man, I
mean they are the reason they're defending to knock out that.
That team is really hard. Saw that the other night
with that six to one win. But yeah, it should
be a good one tonight, five o'clock, right, if I o'clock,
I think I think edgel and Johnny might be on
the call. There you go, right, they did the last

(31:07):
game there, so I'm wondering if that's the same.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Maybe not presence Johnny, all right, I can you think
of just on the top of your head if you
can'ts find a movie that you liked that didn't get
the critical acclaim that it deserves, but you love it.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Oh wow, I'm just not much of a movie guy. Okay,
but I'll give you. I'll give you a couple.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
See that's the thing about the mayor. He's always going
to deliver.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
I mean slapshot.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
Oh my John, No, but that was that was awesome.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
That was It's it's you know, a lot, there's a
lot of people that look down their brow at that one.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
Oh come on, listen, it was animal House on ice.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yeah, right, I'll John Travolt's a phenomenon.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Oh I like that, like that really good movie. Interesting,
by the way, you don't get.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
There what you think in it with her? With me,
I was Forrest Whitaker. Really good movie, like really good movie,
great soundtrack to a lot of Sheryl Crow. But uh yeah,
I'd say that one might be and and maybe it
has got critical I just kind of feel like it
flies under the radar.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
No one talks about. That's a great shout. Mister Finess.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
There you go. You like that? And well did I
hear earlier that you Mark James think you're a better
movie a trivia guy than Dave Softy Maller.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Well, here's the thing, a Softy like I'm just saying
that when it comes to he probably can do obscure ones.
I don't know about trivia, but it comes to you know,
I'll just put my knowledge up against anybody, all right,
I'll put it against.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Any I think we need some sort of like now
you the guy that because this is his thing, he'll say,
you know, like such and such and such and such,
what movie was that from?

Revenge of the Nerds Too is Courtney thorn Smith and
a bikini.
