Speaker 1 (00:00):
Of the nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears, which is arguably
the greatest team of all time. So are your Chicago
Bears gonna possibly be able to turn the clock back
and channel that inner success from Buddy Ryan and Mike
Singletary and Walter Payton like they did back in eighty five.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know, well, thank you for that intro. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And there's nothing more I love more than hearing myself
be celebrated. I you know, I the Bears every year.
You have to understand, I just came from Chicago. I
just filmed my stand up special there.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
We Rickleyfield is packed no matter what, and Soldier Field
will be packed no matter what. And that is good
and bad because we need to get back on track.
And you mentioned Singletary and Walter Payton, and you're talking
about guys that had a work as a like no other.
(01:03):
And you know, Walter Payton was a five', ten two
hundred pound greatest running back of all. Time and So
Caleb williams is an exceptional. Talent they've built a lot
of pieces around. Him it really sounds LIKE i.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Know What i'm talking about you because you, LISTEN i
saw you were hanging out with The cubs the other.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Day you got to be happy about them this. Season
oh they look.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Great i'm not happy about my first. PITCH i will
beg you not to look it.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Up, Hey, Jeremy jeremy And. Jeremy it can NEVER i don't.
CARE i don't have to see it to know it
will never be as bad as fifty cent with the.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Match did you ever see that?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Thing, well that's like critiquing the acting and, porn because
you know WHAT i. Mean, like, listen, man you, know
fifty does a lot of things right and. Pitching pitching
is not one of.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Them pitching we don't. Know but in terms of, pitching you,
know he And barack here's the. Variable you got to.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Practice AND i overpracticed And Justin turner gave me one
hundred and sixteen notes AND i was thinking about all
of them and THEN i bounced. It and by the,
Way i've never bounced it. Before i've done it for The,
cubs even The Raleigh. Durham you, Know i've done it for.
Everyone AND i bounced it and it was, humiliating AND
i you, KNOW i heard the entire stadium, gasp and
(02:28):
then they were, uncomfortable and you know, what that's the
way life. Is because it was it was, humiliating it
was a. Loss but THEN i got to film my,
special my stand up special THE Vic theater In, chicago
and that was a. Win so the universe rewards. You
after it humiliates, you then it rewards.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You if that makes. Sense it does My ted, TALK
i love.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It jeremy tivin here ON mg in The. Midday so
you've done it all In. HOLLYWOOD i, mean you've been
in movies With robert De, Niro Al, pacino the late
Great Val kilmer In he you were in another one
with Al, Pacino matthew, McConaughey Renee, russo And too for
The Money underrated by the, Way And i'm gonna give
you a, Role Jeremy, piven that you should have been
cast in and maybe another guy From chicago messed up
(03:14):
by not putting you in this, movie BECAUSE i think
you would have taken a great movie and made it even.
Better And i'm talking about the Classic. Swingers Jeremy piven
should have been In.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Swingers, well you, KNOW i know my limitations And i'm
very realistic with myself And John favreau did a brilliant.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Job, no, no, no, No i'm not saying you should
have taken his. Spot i'm saying you should have been
in that with those, Guys oh for.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
SURE i didn't know them.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Then And vince became a friend because you, KNOW i
did old school With vince AND i played his arch.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
NEMESIS i was the Dean Dean.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Frichard AND i got to work With John favreau on
very bad, things and they're both. Listened favreau as one
of those guys who always, always you always sense he
had a vision even when nothing was going on with,
him and he, did you, know he Filmed swingers on the,
weekend found guys to help, him and he cobbled together
this little indie film and it launched. Him and he
(04:16):
Hired Robert downey when no one else. Would they couldn't
even insure the. Guy and he, said this is my Iron,
man and we need more people like that. Now AND
i feel like we're starting to move into that territory
whereas we're coming out of you, know four or, five,
seven eight years of, fear and we're moving into you,
know giving the people what they, want and what they
(04:39):
want is things LIKE i don't know if they want
another reboot to save by The.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Bell, No i'll be honest with. YOU i don't think
anyone's in. School there is no.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Bell and by the, Way, jeremy CAN i just tell
you this, TOO a lot of a lot of the
remakes other than. It AND i Thought Rob zombie did
a great job with the remake Of halloween when he did,
it he did it in a way because he Took
Michael myers Where and you, know no disrespect to the
Great John, carpenter but you Saw Michael myers go from
six years old to twenty one. Where you, Know Rob
(05:08):
zombie took you in saw you the teenage, years WHICH
i thought was pretty. Good but remakes are so, yeah
they all. FAIL i, mean how Did ghostbusters? Do it
was a complete.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Flop well that's that's a whole other.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Conversation BUT i will, say because you, Know i'm on the,
Road i'm doing stand up AND i love. It and you,
know people say to, me we didn't know you were this.
Funny i've been on stage SINCE i.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Was eight years. Old, yeah and you KNOW i come
from a sketch comedy.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
BACKGROUND i started At Second city with the Great Chris
farley in the, nineties and so all roads lead to
stand up AND i finally, went you know, WHAT i
got to just film this so that people KNOW i do.
It and The Neptune. THEATER i highly suggest people grab
tickets as soon as. Possible it's an intimate. Theater it's
about seven hundred. People we got a couple hundred tickets.
(05:57):
LEFT i come on out and it's you, know it's
one of these things where it's, like you, Know i've
been trying to get my freedom my whole, life like
pitching ideas and jokes on, sets and sometimes you, know
they're welcomed and sometimes they're.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Not and so this was a lane for me to.
Go you know, WHAT i have all the freedom.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
CREATIVELY i can just get up there and just swing
for the, fences and So i'm really having a lot of.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Fun, WELL i can tell you, this The mariners could
use you because they can't swing for crap right. Now
SO i Think Jeremy piven maybe to Protect Cal, rowley
who's more than likely going to be the starter for
The American league at catcher in The All Star. Game
Jeremy piven would be an upgrade over what's been going
on for the last seventeen games.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Here but let me ask you. This, well, yeah, no go, ahead. Finish.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
NO i was gonna say, that, listen, MAN i have
the utmost respect for elite. ATHLETES i went up on
the mound and you, KNOW i had all those notes
in my head AND i bounced. It so all those
the worst player you know out there in pro, ball
the worst player TRIPLE a would crush. Us SO i
have nothing but respect for. THEM i can't throw them any.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Shade fair, enough fair, Enough Neptune, Theater july, Twelfth, JEREMY
i gotta ask you, this why now you've done it
all in your. Career you've had A hall Of fame acting,
career hit. Show we haven't even gotten to that, yet
and we will get to, That but, like why did
you want to go to this stand up comedy route?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Now because that's so tough to.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Do you are going out there and you already nailed
it with your stand up, Special but isn't that tougher
than is that tougher than anything that you've done in your?
Career because they say the toughest thing to do is
to make people, laugh and you have a live, Audience
so why go that route because you are risking a.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Lot, YEAH i think the only risking if your. Life
if you're not taking, risks then you're not. Growing and
the reward of.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Those risks are. Incredible.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
MAN i remember getting up, and you, know the first
time doing it and in this charity event at the Laugh,
factory AND i was. Terrified and you, know once your
jokes land and people are, laughing there's nothing like.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It SO i absolutely love. It it's a.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Gift IT'S i don't want to say it's WHAT i do,
best but people.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
When they see, me they, go, oh you were made for. This.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Now the reality, is even Though i've been on stage
my whole, life you, know nothing can fully prepare you
for coming up with material and executing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It and if you, KNOW i learned very.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Quickly you, KNOW i did play sports growing, up and
it's good to fail very early and to realize there
are no five 't nine hundred and seventy seven Pound
jewish linebackers anywhere in the world, Unfortunately SO i you,
know you you face those you, know you you hit
those walls and you, go, okay, well you, know everyone
(08:53):
needs a, win AND i creatively was.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Winning and this to me is.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Terrifying but yet if you get up and do five
to eight shows a, week then you overcome all. That
and Like shakespeare, says the readiness is All And i'm.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Ready well you, Sound and by the, WAY i can
tell you're gonna kill. IT i can't wait For july
twelfth at The Neptune theater here In, seattle and we
will get that thing sold. Out by the, way they're
gonna be people waiting outside the door for that show
by the time you come, here which is just less
than a month.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Away, WELL i will say, that you, know talking about
myself and talking about how FUNNY i am is not that.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
INTERESTING i got to be honest with.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You but getting up there and doing my stand up
Where i'm all over the, map AND i got to
be honest with. YOU i may offend some, people you
know WHAT i.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Mean and the great Ones, Doo, jeremy the great Ones.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
ZOO i.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Can't i'm not gonna homogenize WHAT i. Do and second guess.
IT i just got to get up there and sling that.
Truth you, know we're all going through a lot right.
Now nothing makes, sense you know WHAT i. Mean and
and one of the great things about comics is we
make sense of? It you, KNOW i, mean You're i'm
(10:06):
dealing with. Anger anger is a punishment that you give
yourself for something someone, else did you, know kind of
like burning your tesla or burning away mo, right, yeah you,
KNOW i don't. KNOW i don't or a lesbian burning her?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Dildo what what are you gonna? Ride what are we?
Riding we. Don't we don't have anything to.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Ride, LISTEN i if you, IF i will see you
with The Neptune theater. Me i'm In austin right. NOW
i haven't had any type Of i've. Been i'm out
in the. Sun i'm sweating like A hebrew's. SLAVE i
can't even. Swallow i'm so, dehydrated and YET i had
(10:47):
to take your.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Call, well, HEY i hope you appreciate.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
That, hey, Listen, JEREMY i we appreciate you making. Time
i'd be remissify and ask you what everybody else does
the hit Show. Entourage when did you know that it
was gonna be the major hit that it?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Was, WELL i, mean that's an interesting question, because to
be honest with, you when we came, out it was
just before you could even kind of people were watching
it in, groups so there Wasn't TiVo hadn't really come into, fruition,
right and there certainly wasn't a social, media you, know
(11:24):
twenty years, ago and so people were, going, hey, man
we're watching A sunday.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Night we're all.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Gathering i'm, like you're, gathering people are. Gathering that's. Interesting
and THEN i just started witnessing it and it. Was
and so that's WHEN i kind of, Knew oh my,
GOD i think WE'RE i think we're onto, something if
that makes, sense.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
No question about.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It and do people often think that you were like
the character who you Portrayed Ari?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Gold? Uh, YEAH i, mean unbeknownst to, me it's.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Funny my mother who would test me out all my.
LIFE i mean we would run, lines we'd do.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Lives so we didn't do. Line, sorry we ran.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Don't lines to your, mom please if you remember one,
thing but it's don't two lives in your.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Mouth. No Joyce piven would run lives of.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Me so she would play drama turtle e and she
would yell action AND i would just start into this
insanely filthy tirade and my mom would just hang in
there and she never. Blinked and my friends are like
how could you say that to your her your mom's.
Face my mom's a, pro she was my acting, teacher
and she died a couple months. Ago and you, know
(12:36):
having stand up and going out there and making people
laugh has really.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Helped me with the. Grief if that makes any, sense.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It certainly, does because, laughter, Right, jeremy laughter is sort
of a remedy to cope. WITH i lost my dad
two and a half years. Ago and and by the,
way he loved, you and Unto, rah you were his.
Favorite he freaking Loved he just loved you and loved
everything that you. Did and SO i know we're you're
coming From, man and she not only proud of you
(13:03):
and what you've, done but certainly well what you are
about to, accomplish especially when you come To seattle On
july twelfth again The Neptune. THEATER i think the night
before you're down In portland as well On july, eleventh
and you've got a huge, tour SO i can imagine
that this is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
GOOD i know you're hot In. AUSTIN i have to ask.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You you've you've got to celebrate A bear Super, Bowl
you've got A Cubs World, series you got a Couple
Blackhawks Stanley. Cups but what was it like for, You
Jeremy piven in the nineties to see the Goat michael
Freaking jordan win not, one not, two not, three not,
four not, five but SIX nba.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Titles you, KNOW i was very spoiled in the way
THAT i got to Watch Walter payton and Then Michael
jordan's you, KNOW.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
DID i did get to see the.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Greats and you, know when you grow up being able
to like go to the stadium and watch mj you,
know you kind, OF i don't want to say you
take it for, granted because it was watching him play
was kind of brilliant because he did look like he
was operating in a different space and a different speed
(14:26):
than everyone.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Else and you know this will sound very.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Ethereal but you, know you know when they talk about
athletes being in the, ZONE i think everything kind of
like slows down and you're able to see. Everything and
that's kind of the way it felt with him that
he could see things that others. Couldn't he made elite
athletes look, mortal you. Know and you, know Watching Michael
(14:52):
jordan play live and being this, kid you know who
just got out of college and is on the stage Of.
Chicago it just inspired all of us to like because
we were witnessing greatness all the time and we wanted
to be, great and we were all very. Delusional i'm
very very delusional to this, day you, Know AND i
(15:13):
think that's a superpower because you don't get in your
own way and you don't limit. Yourself you just, think, okay,
well IF i just keep, GRINDING i can do. Anything
and you, can you really. Can so you, know watching,
him Watching Walter peyton And Mike singletary and and all the,
greats it was just very. Inspiring and, listen we all
(15:36):
know it's sports. Fans you know you mentioned your. FATHER
i watch The bears with my. Father so once you
have that relationship with them and you connect that team
and that, City chicago and The, bears it's my, father
it's growing, up it's my. Family you can never really
(15:58):
that's your team for, life and when you watch, them
you have this connection with them that is incredibly deep
and some people can't understand. It and that's why we
wear other men's jerseys and their names on our. Back
that's why we invest all of our time in fantasy.
Football and that's why we live in our basement and,
(16:19):
becoming you, know.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Lunatics that's, True, Jeremy, oh the utmost. Sense and believe,
me there's so. Hey this is the home of The,
twelves the most, diehard best football fan base in THE,
nfl The twelves here In seattle with The. Seahawks i'm
new to, town BUT i understand that. Listen can't wait
to see you here In seattle On july, Twelfth Neptune.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Theater go buy, tickets sell it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Out Jeremy, piven you are a mensh and you are
probably the greatest high school football player to ever come
out Of evanston and has his number. Retire congratulations on.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
That, wow that Was it was almost LIKE i just
told you what to say just. Now that was my
absolute fantasy to be a vish mediocre linebacker and the
only white boy on my football. Team that was you,
know that was again a chance for me TO i
was dreaming AND i thought THAT i would achieve.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
More but then that's the way life.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Is you want to fail, early, yeah because then you, Go,
OKAY i don't wear this, Well i'm Not i'm not
a fan of. Mediocrity and then you throw all your
passion and drive into something, else and for me it
was always.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Acting and here we. Are i'll see you, soon, Brother well.

Speaker 1 (17:27):

Him i'm sure he will kill it at every stop
he goes. TO i want to check out that stand
up special that he did In chicago because he'll bring
it here To seattle coming up On july the. Twelfth
so we appreciate his time and bringing it and it's
(17:49):
it's interesting AND i think everybody here In seattle can
relate to is about what it was like when you
watched The seahawks Win Super bowl forty eight with your
dad or your grandfather or your mom or your aunt
or your uncle and your. Family what's that like for?
You so we appreciate him coming up, next all, right
we want to get to. This where do The hawks
rank in terms OF nfl corners and safeties amongst the
(18:14):
best according TO.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Pff thank you To Jeremy.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Piven this IS mj in The Midday Sports radio ninety
three three kJ r THEM mj in the midday right
here On Sports radio ninety three to three kJ R,
m and will also top of the, hour we'll talk
to a gentleman wrote an interesting article about are The
mariners wasting Cal raley's epic, season that he's having POTENTIAL mvp,
(18:39):
season that he's. Having tremaine person From Sodo mojo will
join us at the top of the hour and we'll
talk about. That Devin Wethers witherspoon placed number twelve. OVERALL
i thought that was pretty, good thirteenth In Pro football
focused In Advanced coverage grade and eighth over the past two.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Years.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Quote he has also been one of the best run
defending cornerbacks in THE. Nfl his ninety point THREE pff
run defense grade over the past two seasons ranked, second
contributing to his eighth ranked eighty four point FIVE pff overall.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Grade, Kid i'm good with. That you good with?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Man Oh, Man Devin witherspoon is best player on the.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
TEAM i don't see how you could say, not.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Right he is That, Yep Ken WALKER i think is
another player THAT i think Is.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
He's gotta stay on the. Field. Man you know WHAT i?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Mean you got the best abilities. Availability, right he's been.
AVAILABLE i have to go back and. LOOK i think
he only missed like five games in the past two.
Seasons all, right but he's Been he's been. FINE i
know last. SEASON i think he missed a couple of
games to start the. Season but, nonetheless to your, point
we're talking About. Witherspoon he is. Phenomenal he plays the
game how you would want everybody to, play talking, smack
(20:01):
backing it. Up what more could you ask for this?
SEASON i think everyone's expecting a big year from. Him
i'm not mad at. That AND i think he can
take the next step and be one of the top
corners in the. LEAGUE i think that's where he's the
next step level is can you be one of the
top premier corners in the league with the sauce? Gardeners
can you? Be in that, conversation that's kind of where
(20:22):
he needs to take the next. Step and it sounds
as if he'll be getting the opportunity to play outside,
more which means em And warry comes in maybe to the,
slot which will be a little bit difficult because he is.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
So you're gonna be Getting you're getting Justin, Jefferson you're Getting.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
You're getting the number you're. Chase you're gonna get the
number one. Receivers, yeah you're getting the number. One devin
never backs. Down remember against last season against The, vikings
he had really sticky coverage On Jordan. Edison addison just
made a great. Catch sometimes that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Happens, hey the greatest cover corner IN nfl history Is Deon,
sanders hands, down prime, time in his, prime where was nobody?
Better occasionally it, happy you're those guys you're going up
against are really, unbelievable and that's why they're getting paid
big money. Too so there's it's one of those things
(21:10):
where you know everybody and nobody has a clean resume
when it comes to you, Know Revis.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Island it's a mental, thing, Right Revis island was unbelievable
until it.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Wasn't you, know like, everybody you eventually hit that point
in your.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Career At Richard, SHERMAN.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
I think the quickness and the lateral quickness and speed went,
away and then it's, okay well how CAN i defend?
Guys because that's what you rely On if you get
beat off the line of scrimmage and you have recovery
speed and great twitch. Muscles you're. Fine that's something that.
Recas he has that, long strident. Speed so if he
gets beat off the line of, scrimmage it's not over.
Yet he can get. Back but if he's mentally in his,
(21:49):
head which is Why mike McDonald last season just needs
he needs to be, consistent he. Can he'd be a
really really really really great corner in this. League but
sometimes you get, beat you get your own, head you're,
anxious you make tiny, mistakes and that's all it takes
now because you're already going. Backwards IF i got a
six or Four Mark janvit two at, Me i'm thinking about,
(22:09):
It i've.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Already just shammy at the line of his. Crimmage you'll be.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Good he, mean all, right this is WHAT i was
saying about walker first two seasons or last year he
missed five, Games, okay so like, that that's What i'm,
Saying like it was the only year where you, know
like the previous couple of years a couple of year and,
there but last year. Five you, know LIKE i, said
but if he's, healthy you know what he can, do
and you, know like this guy should be averaging four
(22:34):
and a half yards per, carry no, doubt about it last,
year but again the old. Line we all. Know i'm
not worried About Kenneth. WALKER i, mean, think what if
this new improve o line can do what it's supposed to,
do then he's gonna get his. Touches and you know
he's gonna get his touches because you have AN oc
who wants to run the.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Ball this. Guy. Hmmm riquel In a ranked him at.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Nineteenth says, quote, well then gets overlooked a bit in
the discussion of top corners because he hasn't replicated his
rookie success after leading THE nfl in interceptions with, six
but HIS Pff Advanced coverage grade across the past three
years ranked, thirteenth he has allowed just zero point seventy
two yards per cover snap since twenty twenty, three the
(23:18):
six SIXTH beth rate at his, position the best rate
at his. Position that'll twist your tongue, THERE i.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Gotta tell you on this.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
ONE i kind of thought they orang the overrated riek
here at nineteen based on the last what he's done.
RECENTLY i DON'T i thought nineteen's a little overrated for him.
THERE i thought he was after the rookie, season but
he's kind of come down a little.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Bit it wasn't there an. Issue it wasn't air an
issue With mike McDonald last. Year wasn't an.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Issue it was not locked in as my. Right but that's,
yeah that's an issue.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Though that's a Major you know you've got to be
locked did, man you gotta Beat.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
But i'm telling you What i'm telling. You the corner
position is so. Mental, yeah if he gets in his own,
head Which i'm sure it happens because you can see
the body language when he gets, beat.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
You have to be able to.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Recover you can't get down on yourself, because as you talked,
about you're gonna get beat sometimes the best spins you're
going to begains some of the best receivers in the.
Game we're not expecting you to go out there and
give you zero zero. Zero that's just unheard. Of that's not.
Likely that's not going to. Happen you're gonna need a
lot of things to go your. Way THE d line's
gonna have to get a lot of. Pressure everyone's gonna
(24:33):
have the player role on. It but it's not gonna
happen every. Play so when you get, beat, okay the next,
play don't build a. Touchdown yeah maybe it's first and,
goal but now you don't give a, touchdown you hold
him the Three those are the things that just gonna
take the next step on because he has been beat
off the line of. Scrimmage i've seen. It but it's
all about recovery and he has the capability to do.
That sometimes he gets in his own head and doesn't play.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Ball you know.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
WHAT i admire a lot about what The seahawks have, done, Which,
belichi you used to get so much credit for.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
This In New.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
England they gave up on, players and then when the
players went to their next, Destination Richard, Sherman Marshawn, Lynch
Russell wilson didn't even come close to the success they
had here In. Seattle so they got out too early
to where it was, before too late except for one,
(25:23):
Guy BOBBY. F. N, Wagner because that dude Is hall Of.
Fame that guy. Is that guy's still. Going and it's, like.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Man you're telling me the depend would be worse if
he was. Here they wouldn't have needed An Ernest.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Jones that's What i'm. Saying that's the one.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Guy, listen nobody's perfect but they got out on The
Russell wilson. Business and what's happened since then a downward.
Spiral they got out On Richard. Sherman downward. Spiral Marshawn.
LYNCH i watched him with the silver And black didn't have.
It man just didn't have. It So bellich did that
with Will fork And welker and a lot of guys
(26:06):
that you, saw and he he'd, said, No i'm good
on these. Guys they go out and they never quite.
Know welker was pretty good With denver for a little,
bit But belichick would always get out too. Early Stepan
gilmore won A Defensive player of The year In New,
england and then Once belichick gave up on, him he was.
TURNED i, mean he's still, going but he's nowhere near
the player he was with The. Patriots so, well also
(26:31):
just for numbers, here for, Safety Julian love was ranked
eleventh in the. LEAGUE i thought that was awesome for.
Him Kobe bryant much room for, improvement thirty, Second so
all in, ALL i thought THE pff grades were. FAIR
i Thought reek a little overrated. THERE i don't know
if he's even at nineteen right. Now from my, standpoint
(26:53):
there's an unsigned rookie right. Now oh, BOY i remember
when this guy came out of high, school right out
of high, school and he is now getting into it
with his current team and it is getting.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Ugly who is it and what's going on?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Next ON mj in the Midday Sports radio ninety three
to THREE KJR, Fm, Seattle i'm gonna tell you some
About seattle in terms of radio market, size it's gonna
Surpass boston and like and maybe like in a any minute,
now it'll Surpass boston in terms of number of people
because more people are moving To seattle and more people
are moving out Of. Boston So boston's already dropped Below.
(27:35):
Atlanta and WHEN i was In, Atlanta boston was barely above.
That So seattle's about to Surpass boston in terms of
market size for radio television. DIFFERENT i don't know why it's,
different but it's just. Different so there's that have, well
are right now with the pathetic streak that The mariner's been,
(27:57):
on are they wasting a POSSIBLE mvp?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Season by Cal.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Raley we'll talk To tremaine person coming up at the
top of the hour about. That From Sodo mojo he
wrote a great article about, that and right, now if
they don't get their act, together they are wasting. It
they really are so not. Good, well here's another. Thing
Cincinnati bengals rookie defensive End Shamar stewart did not hold
(28:24):
back when being asked about being unsigned After bengals mini
camp practice On. Tuesday he, said there's a contract, dispute
and he, said, Quote i'm one hundred percent. Right i'm
not asking for nothing y'all have never done. Before but
in y'all, case you just want to win an argument
instead of winning more. Games he also said that his
(28:46):
teammates support his. Stance, quote it's made it very easy
when the people in here in the locker room say
you're doing the right, things especially.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
The star players Ie Joe, Burrow Jimar Chase in T.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Higgins.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah The bengals have alreadys been to tortsy, cheap But
Shamar stewart's been a little bit of a head case
follow him since he was out of high.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
School but.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
They're putting some stupid clause in there about being able
to avoid future potential guaranteed money and all that, stuff
and it's, like, listen, man you hold out now here's
the thing For. Schamar he's become a. Meme and why
has become a meme because it Says, schamar it's actually.
(29:34):
Hilarious what does it say here that he's taken over
seven weeks to sign his contract and he had over
only four and a half career sacks seven weeks to
sign contract career sacks in college four and a. Half so,
yeah The, bengals, man you better get this thing done
sooner than. Later but it's, yeah so it's not going
(29:58):
well at all For Shamar stewart right now In, bengals and, like,
dude it's your first round. Pick don't put stupid language in.
There just sign, them get them in. Camp now you
look like the. Embarrassment he's already come out and basically
Docked Joe, Burrow Jamar chase and T higgins that they
have his, side and they are on his, side they
(30:20):
have his, back so why, not, like, like just just
get it. Done it's your first round, pick you know
WHAT i. Mean it's not like he's a you, know
an undrafted free, Agent like just don't be stupid about,
it you, KNOW i, mean this guy AND i like
what he. Said he goes, listen they care more about you,
know you know things in terms of.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
They.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Want they're more concerned with winning an argument than winning more.
Games it's very well. Put and here's another thing, too
it just makes players in free. Agency you're obviously a.
Kid there's a guy Named Trey hendrickson who is still
unsigned because they gave all the money To Jamar chasin T,
(31:03):
Higgins So Trey hendrickson remains. UNSIGNED i like The seahawks
defense a. Lot what WOULD i give up to Get Trey? Hendrickson, now,
remember The bengals don't have leverage right.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Now they don't have.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Leverage they have to trade him or he's not gonna
play because he's not. Signing now here's the thing, too
What he's gonna want a big money contract when he comes.
Here so what would you be Willing, now it's not
just the equity and capital that you would have to
give up to acquire a player Like Trey, hendrickson it's,
(31:44):
yeah you're gonna have To you're also gonna have to
sign this guy to a big, contract which you, Know
seahawks are still under the. Cap they could possibly do
some things. Here but there's a, guy you, know study
ends didn't he lead the league in sacks last?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Year i'm not mistaking that as.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Correct, yeah yeah he.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Did So, hey you can all if you can get
better on you, know, like you, know on defense and
getting a guy who can consistently get to the, Quarterback
i'm all.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
In i'm all.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
In it's not just that hot dog diva wide. Receiver
he did seventeen and a half sacks last, year three
and a half more than the second place, Guy Miles.
Garrett are The mariners wasting a POTENTIAL mvp? Season from Cal,
raley we'll talk to the man who wrote the, article
(32:40):
tremain person next ON mj and The Midday Sports radio
ninety three to. Three Kjar at them
Of the nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears, which is arguably
the greatest team of all time. So are your Chicago
Bears gonna possibly be able to turn the clock back
and channel that inner success from Buddy Ryan and Mike
Singletary and Walter Payton like they did back in eighty five.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know, well, thank you for that intro. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And there's nothing more I love more than hearing myself
be celebrated. I you know, I the Bears every year.
You have to understand, I just came from Chicago. I
just filmed my stand up special there.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
We Rickleyfield is packed no matter what, and Soldier Field
will be packed no matter what. And that is good
and bad because we need to get back on track.
And you mentioned Singletary and Walter Payton, and you're talking
about guys that had a work as a like no other.
(01:03):
And you know, Walter Payton was a five', ten two
hundred pound greatest running back of all. Time and So
Caleb williams is an exceptional. Talent they've built a lot
of pieces around. Him it really sounds LIKE i.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Know What i'm talking about you because you, LISTEN i
saw you were hanging out with The cubs the other.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Day you got to be happy about them this. Season
oh they look.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Great i'm not happy about my first. PITCH i will
beg you not to look it.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Up, Hey, Jeremy jeremy And. Jeremy it can NEVER i don't.
CARE i don't have to see it to know it
will never be as bad as fifty cent with the.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Match did you ever see that?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Thing, well that's like critiquing the acting and, porn because
you know WHAT i. Mean, like, listen, man you, know
fifty does a lot of things right and. Pitching pitching
is not one of.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Them pitching we don't. Know but in terms of, pitching you,
know he And barack here's the. Variable you got to.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Practice AND i overpracticed And Justin turner gave me one
hundred and sixteen notes AND i was thinking about all
of them and THEN i bounced. It and by the,
Way i've never bounced it. Before i've done it for The,
cubs even The Raleigh. Durham you, Know i've done it for.
Everyone AND i bounced it and it was, humiliating AND
i you, KNOW i heard the entire stadium, gasp and
(02:28):
then they were, uncomfortable and you know, what that's the
way life. Is because it was it was, humiliating it
was a. Loss but THEN i got to film my,
special my stand up special THE Vic theater In, chicago
and that was a. Win so the universe rewards. You
after it humiliates, you then it rewards.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You if that makes. Sense it does My ted, TALK
i love.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It jeremy tivin here ON mg in The. Midday so
you've done it all In. HOLLYWOOD i, mean you've been
in movies With robert De, Niro Al, pacino the late
Great Val kilmer In he you were in another one
with Al, Pacino matthew, McConaughey Renee, russo And too for
The Money underrated by the, Way And i'm gonna give
you a, Role Jeremy, piven that you should have been
cast in and maybe another guy From chicago messed up
(03:14):
by not putting you in this, movie BECAUSE i think
you would have taken a great movie and made it even.
Better And i'm talking about the Classic. Swingers Jeremy piven
should have been In.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Swingers, well you, KNOW i know my limitations And i'm
very realistic with myself And John favreau did a brilliant.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Job, no, no, no, No i'm not saying you should
have taken his. Spot i'm saying you should have been
in that with those, Guys oh for.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
SURE i didn't know them.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Then And vince became a friend because you, KNOW i
did old school With vince AND i played his arch.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
NEMESIS i was the Dean Dean.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Frichard AND i got to work With John favreau on
very bad, things and they're both. Listened favreau as one
of those guys who always, always you always sense he
had a vision even when nothing was going on with,
him and he, did you, know he Filmed swingers on the,
weekend found guys to help, him and he cobbled together
this little indie film and it launched. Him and he
(04:16):
Hired Robert downey when no one else. Would they couldn't
even insure the. Guy and he, said this is my Iron,
man and we need more people like that. Now AND
i feel like we're starting to move into that territory
whereas we're coming out of you, know four or, five,
seven eight years of, fear and we're moving into you,
know giving the people what they, want and what they
(04:39):
want is things LIKE i don't know if they want
another reboot to save by The.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Bell, No i'll be honest with. YOU i don't think
anyone's in. School there is no.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Bell and by the, Way, jeremy CAN i just tell
you this, TOO a lot of a lot of the
remakes other than. It AND i Thought Rob zombie did
a great job with the remake Of halloween when he did,
it he did it in a way because he Took
Michael myers Where and you, know no disrespect to the
Great John, carpenter but you Saw Michael myers go from
six years old to twenty one. Where you, Know Rob
(05:08):
zombie took you in saw you the teenage, years WHICH
i thought was pretty. Good but remakes are so, yeah
they all. FAIL i, mean how Did ghostbusters? Do it
was a complete.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Flop well that's that's a whole other.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Conversation BUT i will, say because you, Know i'm on the,
Road i'm doing stand up AND i love. It and you,
know people say to, me we didn't know you were this.
Funny i've been on stage SINCE i.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Was eight years. Old, yeah and you KNOW i come
from a sketch comedy.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
BACKGROUND i started At Second city with the Great Chris
farley in the, nineties and so all roads lead to
stand up AND i finally, went you know, WHAT i
got to just film this so that people KNOW i do.
It and The Neptune. THEATER i highly suggest people grab
tickets as soon as. Possible it's an intimate. Theater it's
about seven hundred. People we got a couple hundred tickets.
(05:57):
LEFT i come on out and it's you, know it's
one of these things where it's, like you, Know i've
been trying to get my freedom my whole, life like
pitching ideas and jokes on, sets and sometimes you, know
they're welcomed and sometimes they're.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Not and so this was a lane for me to.
Go you know, WHAT i have all the freedom.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
CREATIVELY i can just get up there and just swing
for the, fences and So i'm really having a lot of.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Fun, WELL i can tell you, this The mariners could
use you because they can't swing for crap right. Now
SO i Think Jeremy piven maybe to Protect Cal, rowley
who's more than likely going to be the starter for
The American league at catcher in The All Star. Game
Jeremy piven would be an upgrade over what's been going
on for the last seventeen games.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Here but let me ask you. This, well, yeah, no go, ahead. Finish.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
NO i was gonna say, that, listen, MAN i have
the utmost respect for elite. ATHLETES i went up on
the mound and you, KNOW i had all those notes
in my head AND i bounced. It so all those
the worst player you know out there in pro, ball
the worst player TRIPLE a would crush. Us SO i
have nothing but respect for. THEM i can't throw them any.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Shade fair, enough fair, Enough Neptune, Theater july, Twelfth, JEREMY
i gotta ask you, this why now you've done it
all in your. Career you've had A hall Of fame acting,
career hit. Show we haven't even gotten to that, yet
and we will get to, That but, like why did
you want to go to this stand up comedy route?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Now because that's so tough to.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Do you are going out there and you already nailed
it with your stand up, Special but isn't that tougher
than is that tougher than anything that you've done in your?
Career because they say the toughest thing to do is
to make people, laugh and you have a live, Audience
so why go that route because you are risking a.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Lot, YEAH i think the only risking if your. Life
if you're not taking, risks then you're not. Growing and
the reward of.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Those risks are. Incredible.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
MAN i remember getting up, and you, know the first
time doing it and in this charity event at the Laugh,
factory AND i was. Terrified and you, know once your
jokes land and people are, laughing there's nothing like.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It SO i absolutely love. It it's a.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Gift IT'S i don't want to say it's WHAT i do,
best but people.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
When they see, me they, go, oh you were made for. This.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Now the reality, is even Though i've been on stage
my whole, life you, know nothing can fully prepare you
for coming up with material and executing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It and if you, KNOW i learned very.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Quickly you, KNOW i did play sports growing, up and
it's good to fail very early and to realize there
are no five 't nine hundred and seventy seven Pound
jewish linebackers anywhere in the world, Unfortunately SO i you,
know you you face those you, know you you hit
those walls and you, go, okay, well you, know everyone
(08:53):
needs a, win AND i creatively was.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Winning and this to me is.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Terrifying but yet if you get up and do five
to eight shows a, week then you overcome all. That
and Like shakespeare, says the readiness is All And i'm.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Ready well you, Sound and by the, WAY i can
tell you're gonna kill. IT i can't wait For july
twelfth at The Neptune theater here In, seattle and we
will get that thing sold. Out by the, way they're
gonna be people waiting outside the door for that show
by the time you come, here which is just less
than a month.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Away, WELL i will say, that you, know talking about
myself and talking about how FUNNY i am is not that.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
INTERESTING i got to be honest with.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You but getting up there and doing my stand up
Where i'm all over the, map AND i got to
be honest with. YOU i may offend some, people you
know WHAT i.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Mean and the great Ones, Doo, jeremy the great Ones.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
ZOO i.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Can't i'm not gonna homogenize WHAT i. Do and second guess.
IT i just got to get up there and sling that.
Truth you, know we're all going through a lot right.
Now nothing makes, sense you know WHAT i. Mean and
and one of the great things about comics is we
make sense of? It you, KNOW i, mean You're i'm
(10:06):
dealing with. Anger anger is a punishment that you give
yourself for something someone, else did you, know kind of
like burning your tesla or burning away mo, right, yeah you,
KNOW i don't. KNOW i don't or a lesbian burning her?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Dildo what what are you gonna? Ride what are we?
Riding we. Don't we don't have anything to.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Ride, LISTEN i if you, IF i will see you
with The Neptune theater. Me i'm In austin right. NOW
i haven't had any type Of i've. Been i'm out
in the. Sun i'm sweating like A hebrew's. SLAVE i
can't even. Swallow i'm so, dehydrated and YET i had
(10:47):
to take your.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Call, well, HEY i hope you appreciate.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
That, hey, Listen, JEREMY i we appreciate you making. Time
i'd be remissify and ask you what everybody else does
the hit Show. Entourage when did you know that it
was gonna be the major hit that it?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Was, WELL i, mean that's an interesting question, because to
be honest with, you when we came, out it was
just before you could even kind of people were watching
it in, groups so there Wasn't TiVo hadn't really come into, fruition,
right and there certainly wasn't a social, media you, know
(11:24):
twenty years, ago and so people were, going, hey, man
we're watching A sunday.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Night we're all.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Gathering i'm, like you're, gathering people are. Gathering that's. Interesting
and THEN i just started witnessing it and it. Was
and so that's WHEN i kind of, Knew oh my,
GOD i think WE'RE i think we're onto, something if
that makes, sense.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
No question about.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It and do people often think that you were like
the character who you Portrayed Ari?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Gold? Uh, YEAH i, mean unbeknownst to, me it's.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Funny my mother who would test me out all my.
LIFE i mean we would run, lines we'd do.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Lives so we didn't do. Line, sorry we ran.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Don't lines to your, mom please if you remember one,
thing but it's don't two lives in your.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Mouth. No Joyce piven would run lives of.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Me so she would play drama turtle e and she
would yell action AND i would just start into this
insanely filthy tirade and my mom would just hang in
there and she never. Blinked and my friends are like
how could you say that to your her your mom's.
Face my mom's a, pro she was my acting, teacher
and she died a couple months. Ago and you, know
(12:36):
having stand up and going out there and making people
laugh has really.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Helped me with the. Grief if that makes any, sense.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It certainly, does because, laughter, Right, jeremy laughter is sort
of a remedy to cope. WITH i lost my dad
two and a half years. Ago and and by the,
way he loved, you and Unto, rah you were his.
Favorite he freaking Loved he just loved you and loved
everything that you. Did and SO i know we're you're
coming From, man and she not only proud of you
(13:03):
and what you've, done but certainly well what you are
about to, accomplish especially when you come To seattle On
july twelfth again The Neptune. THEATER i think the night
before you're down In portland as well On july, eleventh
and you've got a huge, tour SO i can imagine
that this is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
GOOD i know you're hot In. AUSTIN i have to ask.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You you've you've got to celebrate A bear Super, Bowl
you've got A Cubs World, series you got a Couple
Blackhawks Stanley. Cups but what was it like for, You
Jeremy piven in the nineties to see the Goat michael
Freaking jordan win not, one not, two not, three not,
four not, five but SIX nba.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Titles you, KNOW i was very spoiled in the way
THAT i got to Watch Walter payton and Then Michael
jordan's you, KNOW.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
DID i did get to see the.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Greats and you, know when you grow up being able
to like go to the stadium and watch mj you,
know you kind, OF i don't want to say you
take it for, granted because it was watching him play
was kind of brilliant because he did look like he
was operating in a different space and a different speed
(14:26):
than everyone.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Else and you know this will sound very.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Ethereal but you, know you know when they talk about
athletes being in the, ZONE i think everything kind of
like slows down and you're able to see. Everything and
that's kind of the way it felt with him that
he could see things that others. Couldn't he made elite
athletes look, mortal you. Know and you, know Watching Michael
(14:52):
jordan play live and being this, kid you know who
just got out of college and is on the stage Of.
Chicago it just inspired all of us to like because
we were witnessing greatness all the time and we wanted
to be, great and we were all very. Delusional i'm
very very delusional to this, day you, Know AND i
(15:13):
think that's a superpower because you don't get in your

(15:58):
that's your team for, life and when you watch, them

You so we appreciate him coming up, next all, right
we want to get to. This where do The hawks

(18:14):
best according TO.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Pff thank you To Jeremy.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Piven this IS mj in The Midday Sports radio ninety
three three kJ r THEM mj in the midday right
here On Sports radio ninety three to three kJ R,
m and will also top of the, hour we'll talk
to a gentleman wrote an interesting article about are The
mariners wasting Cal raley's epic, season that he's having POTENTIAL mvp,
(18:39):
season that he's. Having tremaine person From Sodo mojo will
join us at the top of the hour and we'll
talk about. That Devin Wethers witherspoon placed number twelve. OVERALL
i thought that was pretty, good thirteenth In Pro football
focused In Advanced coverage grade and eighth over the past two.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Years.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Quote he has also been one of the best run
defending cornerbacks in THE. Nfl his ninety point THREE pff
run defense grade over the past two seasons ranked, second
contributing to his eighth ranked eighty four point FIVE pff overall.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Grade, Kid i'm good with. That you good with?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Man Oh, Man Devin witherspoon is best player on the.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
TEAM i don't see how you could say, not.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Right he is That, Yep Ken WALKER i think is
another player THAT i think Is.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
He's gotta stay on the. Field. Man you know WHAT i?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Mean you got the best abilities. Availability, right he's been.
AVAILABLE i have to go back and. LOOK i think
he only missed like five games in the past two.
Seasons all, right but he's Been he's been. FINE i
know last. SEASON i think he missed a couple of
games to start the. Season but, nonetheless to your, point
we're talking About. Witherspoon he is. Phenomenal he plays the
game how you would want everybody to, play talking, smack
(20:01):
backing it. Up what more could you ask for this?
SEASON i think everyone's expecting a big year from. Him
i'm not mad at. That AND i think he can
take the next step and be one of the top
corners in the. LEAGUE i think that's where he's the
next step level is can you be one of the
top premier corners in the league with the sauce? Gardeners
can you? Be in that, conversation that's kind of where
(20:22):
he needs to take the next. Step and it sounds
as if he'll be getting the opportunity to play outside,
more which means em And warry comes in maybe to the,
slot which will be a little bit difficult because he is.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
So you're gonna be Getting you're getting Justin, Jefferson you're Getting.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
You're getting the number you're. Chase you're gonna get the
number one. Receivers, yeah you're getting the number. One devin
never backs. Down remember against last season against The, vikings
he had really sticky coverage On Jordan. Edison addison just
made a great. Catch sometimes that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Happens, hey the greatest cover corner IN nfl history Is Deon,
sanders hands, down prime, time in his, prime where was nobody?
Better occasionally it, happy you're those guys you're going up
against are really, unbelievable and that's why they're getting paid
big money. Too so there's it's one of those things
(21:10):
where you know everybody and nobody has a clean resume
when it comes to you, Know Revis.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Island it's a mental, thing, Right Revis island was unbelievable
until it.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Wasn't you, know like, everybody you eventually hit that point
in your.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Career At Richard, SHERMAN.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
I think the quickness and the lateral quickness and speed went,
away and then it's, okay well how CAN i defend?
Guys because that's what you rely On if you get
beat off the line of scrimmage and you have recovery
speed and great twitch. Muscles you're. Fine that's something that.
Recas he has that, long strident. Speed so if he
gets beat off the line of, scrimmage it's not over.
Yet he can get. Back but if he's mentally in his,
(21:49):
head which is Why mike McDonald last season just needs
he needs to be, consistent he. Can he'd be a
really really really really great corner in this. League but
sometimes you get, beat you get your own, head you're,
anxious you make tiny, mistakes and that's all it takes
now because you're already going. Backwards IF i got a
six or Four Mark janvit two at, Me i'm thinking about,
(22:09):
It i've.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Already just shammy at the line of his. Crimmage you'll be.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Good he, mean all, right this is WHAT i was
saying about walker first two seasons or last year he
missed five, Games, okay so like, that that's What i'm,
Saying like it was the only year where you, know
like the previous couple of years a couple of year and,
there but last year. Five you, know LIKE i, said
but if he's, healthy you know what he can, do
and you, know like this guy should be averaging four
(22:34):
and a half yards per, carry no, doubt about it last,
year but again the old. Line we all. Know i'm
not worried About Kenneth. WALKER i, mean, think what if
this new improve o line can do what it's supposed to,
do then he's gonna get his. Touches and you know
he's gonna get his touches because you have AN oc
who wants to run the.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Ball this. Guy. Hmmm riquel In a ranked him at.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Nineteenth says, quote, well then gets overlooked a bit in
the discussion of top corners because he hasn't replicated his
rookie success after leading THE nfl in interceptions with, six
but HIS Pff Advanced coverage grade across the past three
years ranked, thirteenth he has allowed just zero point seventy
two yards per cover snap since twenty twenty, three the
(23:18):
six SIXTH beth rate at his, position the best rate
at his. Position that'll twist your tongue, THERE i.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Gotta tell you on this.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
ONE i kind of thought they orang the overrated riek
here at nineteen based on the last what he's done.
RECENTLY i DON'T i thought nineteen's a little overrated for him.
THERE i thought he was after the rookie, season but
he's kind of come down a little.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Bit it wasn't there an. Issue it wasn't air an
issue With mike McDonald last. Year wasn't an.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Issue it was not locked in as my. Right but that's,
yeah that's an issue.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Though that's a Major you know you've got to be
locked did, man you gotta Beat.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
But i'm telling you What i'm telling. You the corner
position is so. Mental, yeah if he gets in his own,
head Which i'm sure it happens because you can see
the body language when he gets, beat.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
You have to be able to.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Recover you can't get down on yourself, because as you talked,
about you're gonna get beat sometimes the best spins you're
going to begains some of the best receivers in the.
Game we're not expecting you to go out there and
give you zero zero. Zero that's just unheard. Of that's not.
Likely that's not going to. Happen you're gonna need a
lot of things to go your. Way THE d line's
gonna have to get a lot of. Pressure everyone's gonna
(24:33):
have the player role on. It but it's not gonna
happen every. Play so when you get, beat, okay the next,
play don't build a. Touchdown yeah maybe it's first and,
goal but now you don't give a, touchdown you hold
him the Three those are the things that just gonna
take the next step on because he has been beat
off the line of. Scrimmage i've seen. It but it's
all about recovery and he has the capability to do.
That sometimes he gets in his own head and doesn't play.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Ball you know.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
WHAT i admire a lot about what The seahawks have, done, Which,
belichi you used to get so much credit for.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
This In New.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
England they gave up on, players and then when the
players went to their next, Destination Richard, Sherman Marshawn, Lynch
Russell wilson didn't even come close to the success they
had here In. Seattle so they got out too early
to where it was, before too late except for one,
(25:23):
Guy BOBBY. F. N, Wagner because that dude Is hall Of.
Fame that guy. Is that guy's still. Going and it's, like.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Man you're telling me the depend would be worse if
he was. Here they wouldn't have needed An Ernest.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Jones that's What i'm. Saying that's the one.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Guy, listen nobody's perfect but they got out on The
Russell wilson. Business and what's happened since then a downward.
Spiral they got out On Richard. Sherman downward. Spiral Marshawn.
LYNCH i watched him with the silver And black didn't have.
It man just didn't have. It So bellich did that
with Will fork And welker and a lot of guys
(26:06):
that you, saw and he he'd, said, No i'm good
on these. Guys they go out and they never quite.
Know welker was pretty good With denver for a little,
bit But belichick would always get out too. Early Stepan
gilmore won A Defensive player of The year In New,
england and then Once belichick gave up on, him he was.
TURNED i, mean he's still, going but he's nowhere near
the player he was with The. Patriots so, well also
(26:31):
just for numbers, here for, Safety Julian love was ranked
eleventh in the. LEAGUE i thought that was awesome for.
Him Kobe bryant much room for, improvement thirty, Second so
all in, ALL i thought THE pff grades were. FAIR
i Thought reek a little overrated. THERE i don't know
if he's even at nineteen right. Now from my, standpoint
(26:53):
there's an unsigned rookie right. Now oh, BOY i remember
when this guy came out of high, school right out
of high, school and he is now getting into it
with his current team and it is getting.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Ugly who is it and what's going on?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Next ON mj in the Midday Sports radio ninety three
to THREE KJR, Fm, Seattle i'm gonna tell you some
About seattle in terms of radio market, size it's gonna
Surpass boston and like and maybe like in a any minute,
now it'll Surpass boston in terms of number of people
because more people are moving To seattle and more people
are moving out Of. Boston So boston's already dropped Below.
(27:35):
Atlanta and WHEN i was In, Atlanta boston was barely above.
That So seattle's about to Surpass boston in terms of
market size for radio television. DIFFERENT i don't know why it's,
different but it's just. Different so there's that have, well
are right now with the pathetic streak that The mariner's been,
(27:57):
on are they wasting a POSSIBLE mvp?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Season by Cal.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Raley we'll talk To tremaine person coming up at the
top of the hour about. That From Sodo mojo he
wrote a great article about, that and right, now if
they don't get their act, together they are wasting. It
they really are so not. Good, well here's another. Thing
Cincinnati bengals rookie defensive End Shamar stewart did not hold
(28:24):
back when being asked about being unsigned After bengals mini
camp practice On. Tuesday he, said there's a contract, dispute
and he, said, Quote i'm one hundred percent. Right i'm
not asking for nothing y'all have never done. Before but
in y'all, case you just want to win an argument
instead of winning more. Games he also said that his
(28:46):
teammates support his. Stance, quote it's made it very easy
when the people in here in the locker room say
you're doing the right, things especially.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
The star players Ie Joe, Burrow Jimar Chase in T.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Higgins.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah The bengals have alreadys been to tortsy, cheap But
Shamar stewart's been a little bit of a head case
follow him since he was out of high.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
School but.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
They're putting some stupid clause in there about being able
to avoid future potential guaranteed money and all that, stuff
and it's, like, listen, man you hold out now here's
the thing For. Schamar he's become a. Meme and why
has become a meme because it Says, schamar it's actually.
(29:34):
Hilarious what does it say here that he's taken over
seven weeks to sign his contract and he had over
only four and a half career sacks seven weeks to
sign contract career sacks in college four and a. Half so,
yeah The, bengals, man you better get this thing done
sooner than. Later but it's, yeah so it's not going
(29:58):
well at all For Shamar stewart right now In, bengals and, like,
dude it's your first round. Pick don't put stupid language in.
There just sign, them get them in. Camp now you
look like the. Embarrassment he's already come out and basically
Docked Joe, Burrow Jamar chase and T higgins that they
have his, side and they are on his, side they
(30:20):
have his, back so why, not, like, like just just
get it. Done it's your first round, pick you know
WHAT i. Mean it's not like he's a you, know
an undrafted free, Agent like just don't be stupid about,
it you, KNOW i, mean this guy AND i like
what he. Said he goes, listen they care more about you,
know you know things in terms of.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
They.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Want they're more concerned with winning an argument than winning more.
Games it's very well. Put and here's another thing, too
it just makes players in free. Agency you're obviously a.
Kid there's a guy Named Trey hendrickson who is still
unsigned because they gave all the money To Jamar chasin T,
(31:03):
Higgins So Trey hendrickson remains. UNSIGNED i like The seahawks
defense a. Lot what WOULD i give up to Get Trey? Hendrickson, now,
remember The bengals don't have leverage right.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Now they don't have.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Leverage they have to trade him or he's not gonna
play because he's not. Signing now here's the thing, too
What he's gonna want a big money contract when he comes.
Here so what would you be Willing, now it's not
just the equity and capital that you would have to
give up to acquire a player Like Trey, hendrickson it's,
(31:44):
yeah you're gonna have To you're also gonna have to
sign this guy to a big, contract which you, Know
seahawks are still under the. Cap they could possibly do
some things. Here but there's a, guy you, know study
ends didn't he lead the league in sacks last?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Year i'm not mistaking that as.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Correct, yeah yeah he.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Did So, hey you can all if you can get
better on you, know, like you, know on defense and
getting a guy who can consistently get to the, Quarterback
i'm all.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
In i'm all.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
In it's not just that hot dog diva wide. Receiver
he did seventeen and a half sacks last, year three
and a half more than the second place, Guy Miles.
Garrett are The mariners wasting a POTENTIAL mvp? Season from Cal,
raley we'll talk to the man who wrote the, article
(32:40):
tremain person next ON mj and The Midday Sports radio
