Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, joining us right now on the radio program. Your friend,
my friend, everybody's friend. You gotta be a real salt
the SOB to not like this guy that's our friend.
Jackson Bevans with us on the radio show, swinging by
to say hello, representing the Gino Defenders Club.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
How are you, Pal?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm doing great, fellows, thanks for having me on on
our day with big wide receiver news resigning Cody White.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, huge, huge signing by the Hawks. Well, i'll tell
you what. We're gonna have you on the air. The
plan was to have you on the air and kind of,
you know, speak your mind on GINO and you know,
you know him take it off and Darnald coming in
and we'll get to all that in a second. But man,
Cooper Cup is in the Marcus Lawrence is in, Marcus Valdez,
Scandling is in. Sam Darnold is in. What do you
(00:46):
make of all the moves the Hawks have made in
just the last few days.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Pal.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Uh mostly into it again like it just won't matter
if they can't block until you know, the jury's out.
Everyone knows this isn't some incredible insight on my part.
But it's been it's been ten years with me giving
John Schneider benefit of the doubt, in ten years of
(01:11):
the offensive line stinking. So I think because the Cup
makes us a better team. I love what they're doing
on defense right now, like really love what they're doing
on defense right now. And I'm taking a wait and
see approach on Sam Donald because I am just not
convinced that they're better off the quarterback or even as good.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
What about what the money factored in saving your twelve
to fifteen million dollars between Gino and Sam and getting
some compensation for Gino.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah? Yeah, the compensation, the money savings and the age
helped to bridge the gap. I think the Gino Smith
is better at everything than Sam Donald is. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, so I'm gonna tweet that out. I'm gonna Jackson.
I'm gonna unleash the Twitter hounds on ye. I gotta
send that quote out on social media. Go ahead and
finish your take on that.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Go ahead, it's all here.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
There's nothing I haven't said before. Yeah, you know, I
want to be wrong on that. I was wrong about Geno.
You know, I remember when Russ was traded and the
big debate was going to be Geno Smith or d Locke,
and I went on my own show and said, you know,
it doesn't matter because these guys will be here after
a year. So I'm always willing to change my opinion
(02:29):
when there's compelling evidence to the contrary. And you know,
Smith gave us three years a very compelling evidence, So
I hope that happens with Sam Darnold. I do think
that he is a good fit for the Kubiak style system. Again,
you know, it doesn't matter if God himself is the
quarterback of the Seahawks. If they can't block, yep, you
know it won't matter.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I want to make sure you get the quote right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think Geno Smith is better at everything than Sam
Donald is. Is that Fairgnant got it done Boom Post.
I do agree it's gonna line obviously. I mean, look
all these other moves they've made. I wouldn't call Sam
Donald a toy. You know, Cooper Cup mvs. DeMarcus Lawrence
maybe fall into that category. But you know, the Donald
(03:13):
thing is obviously much bigger than that because he's the
most important position in sports. But I do agree with
you that they do need to get that line done
or none of this is really going to matter. So
they've got some money left to spend, They've got a
lot of draft capital. How much confidence do you have
in John Schneider Jackson for the first time, let's face it,
really since early in his career as a GM being
(03:35):
able to turn this offensive line around.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Not very much, because it's been a decade. And you know,
the my my concern with bringing Donald in is that
he is a highly pressure sensitive quarterback. You know, the
the delta in performance for just about every metric between
Geno Smith when he had a queen pocket and when
(04:03):
he was pressured is a lot, lot lot smaller than
the delta between Sam Donald's performance in a queen pocket
and when he's pressured. I want to believe that Sam
Donald is a major reason that the Vikings won fourteen games.
I'm old enough to remember that case Keenum won fifteen
(04:25):
games with the Bikings and didn't do anything after that.
So we have a really really large sample size of
Sam Donald not being able to handle pressure. Hopefully there
is room for growth there. We have an even bigger
sample size of the interior Seattle's offensive line creating really
(04:46):
quick pressure, and so I think that the baseline of
necessary ability up front has been raised by dringing. Sam
Donald because you don't have a quarterback would show the
ability to mitigate that as well as you know Smith did,
so Yeah. I do think, however, being able to use
(05:07):
a lot more pre snapp motion to employ a you
know more twelve personnel, so so two tight ends, one
running back, two wide receivers instead of the eleven personnel
that'saw seat, I'll have three receivers on the field all
the time last year will help bootleg play action is
something Sam Donald does do well in that Kubiak Lee's
a lot of off of that wide zone scheme. So
(05:30):
I think there's some stylistic fits where this could really work.
I just think the margin for air got a lot smaller.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
It seems like if you voted in my poll that
I just put out that a lot of people have
voted on, you would not agree with the vast majority.
And the poll was how jacked for this season? Are
you compared to how you've been the last few years? Again, Yeah,
the pole I put more less and I also Dave
had a weasel option, which is about about the same
(05:57):
seventy two percent more two percent less. I mean, it
is a landslide. There is something about getting rid of
Geno Smith and DK Metcalf that people really like around here.
Would you have gotten rid of Dk Metcalf? You already
said no about Geno Smith?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Would I have no? But I don't think it was
like a terrible decision, especially if you.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Know, if it had gotten to the point where, you know,
Metcalf had kind of made up his mind to go
somewhere else, then you know, I think letting someone else
say him that money and getting a mid second in
return is fine on a personal level.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You know, I'm bummed. I think that your pull highlights
one of my frustrations with a lot of feedback that
I get from Seatt fans, which is to really not
only counted but very cool players suffering a lot of
unnecessary slings and arrows from fans hyper focused on a
(07:00):
few negatives and being willing to overlook a tremendous amount
of positives in order to focus on those things. So
I'm less excited about this season right also willing to
you know, reserve judgment and really hoping that I'm wrong.
I mean, you're not going to catch me, you know,
pouting if the Seahawks end up winning twelve games in
(07:23):
the division because what I said in March isn't true.
That's that's not how I'm wired. I'm no interest in that.
But if I had to guess whether this team was
going to do better in twenty twenty five than he
did in twenty twenty four, I would take the under Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All right, Jackson Bevans is with us just negative Nelly
with us on the air.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I know I'm kidding him.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
By the way, there's a lot of responses to the quote,
the money quote about Geno being better at everything than
Darnold is. Let's see Dean Miller with the laughing emoji.
Kyle Oakes give it a rest, it's over with Matt
Munt says you should stick to real estate.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Does anybody agree with Ben sand savor? Jackson has some
weird ass obsession over Gino? Give it a rest man, Yeah,
are there are? But doesn't no fun to read. There's
a lot of people that agree with you out there.
So what is what for you? And maybe it is
just Jackson again, Jackson Bevans with us on the here.
Maybe it is just about the wins and losses, which really,
in the end is all people should care about. But
(08:22):
what does Sam Darnold need to do. What does he
need to show you in year number one to make
you feel like this was worth it?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well, he said it in his own press conference. I
need to get the ball out on time. Like that's
something that he's never that he's never done. He was
able to not get the ball out on time in Minnesota.
It's the first time in his career that he's been
in a situation where he didn't have to throw the
ball quickly. And not coincidentally, it is the first time
in his career that he had successive quarterback So can
(08:54):
he change that after the seven years in the league.
I hope.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
So.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I mean, we thought tremendous growth from Gino Smith's late
in his career. So and and you know, look, I
know it's it's easy. This is people are going to
respond on Twitter and to what's being said on the radio.
You know, it tends to be super binary. And I
get it. That's that's fine. We want to put things
into a box and do away with nuance. And you know,
(09:20):
I get it. I have defended Geno Smith and so
a lot of folks who have grown up in this
era of you know, forced argument. Sports coverage are going
to say, Oh, you know you're glazy, Gina. You think
he's the lead, and you think he's always thinks Now,
I don't belive he's Joe Burrow. I'll be Josh. I
don't think he's Patrick Mahomes. I think he's roughly the
(09:42):
twelfth best quarterback in the NFL, and I think the
average fan severely underestimates how hard it is to improve
on the twelfth best quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I think the frustration lies in just the constant either
missing the playoffs or barely making the playoffs, and now
Geno's price tag goes up so much more. Deep case
price tag goes up so much more. I mean that
for I think most people. I think most people liked Gene.
I think most people really like DK Metcalf. But if
you can't get there with them making a modicum of money,
(10:12):
you're not gonna get there with them making a heck
of a lot more money, are you.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I'm going to push back on the idea that Geno's
money or DK's money has in the past or would
have in the future, precluded John Snyder from spending money
on the offensive line, but he has never done it.
And you know, Schneider's strength have been at the skill
positions on offense. He's done a phenomenal job bringing quarterback talent,
running back talent, and receiving talent. Like that's great. But
(10:41):
the reason that the Seahawks haven't won more than nine
or ten games and barely miswinning the division. We're acting
like this is this awful thing isn't because a quarterback
player wide receiver play. I think that is willful ignorance
if that is the perspective people are taking. Getting worse
at quarterback and receiver only is going to help this
(11:02):
team get better if those funds and the draft picks
and everything else that you get back are put to
work in a real productive way offensive line. And we
have seen nothing in a decade to suggest that John
Schnyder is capable of doing that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, I'll just tell you what I told Dick earlier,
that Schnyder's kind of putting his balls out there.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, if this doesn't work and they and they
go backwards, he's he's next. I mean, you fire a
head coach, you get rid of two quarterbacks, and Russell
Wilson now and Geno Smith and trade maybe your best
offensive player in DK Metcalf and a lot of people's eyes.
You're putting the cleag lights squarely on you, so we
know that he is. He is not concerned about that
because he made moves that would be a terrible reflection
of him if they don't work. Hey, Jackson, listen, man,
(11:44):
great stuff. Appreciate this and we'll talk soon. Buddy and
joining the weekend pal.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
All right, love you guys, Thanks for the champion.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I got it man, now, no doubt Jackson Bevans with us.
And I mean, just going back to your poll about
like the excitement level for the Seahawks. I mean, I
can just speak for myself. I am more excited today
than I was two weeks ago. I'm thrilled about the
Cooper Cup signing. We did a show about a month
ago where all three of us asked each other, are
we ready to just move on from Gino Smith?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
And we all said yes.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now, I will tell you this, when we all said
yes on the air, I thought for sure that meant
good things for Gino Smith and Seattle. And we're going
to look like idiots. They're going to resign the guy.
He's going to be the MVP of the NFL. We're
gonna look stupid, right, So never did I really imagine
that they would do this and get rid of him
and move him. I thought they would restructure the deal,
drop the salary cap, hit down a little bit, and
(12:33):
the guy'd be a Seahawks. So I was ready to
move on. You both were ready to move on. The
Cooper Cup thing now comes down. They get the number
one available quarterback and free agency, they save somebody. I
feel like the Hawks have turned a corner. Now the
offensive line will be the rocket ship that will decide
how fast they go. I feel like they're on the
way back, and I feel like the energy is coming
(12:54):
back to the vMac man.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That's just the way I feel right now. Good time.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
That's why what Jackson said about his excitement level for
the twenty five season. I mean it's like it's like
one Jackson is on the dark side and then there's
me on the good side, and.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You're usually negative, negative, right.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Like, honestly, like my excitement level for this season, like
it's miles higher than it was for the last couple
of seasons, because.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Like it's new, it's new, it's something exactly. It's new.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
It might be a disaster, but it's new.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
I can't even understand how your excitement level could be
less than last season.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
There was a lot of what's the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
There was a lot of when something just feels tired
and old, I mean, give me something else, yes.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, it just felt it just it just felt stale.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You knew if they brought back Geno and DK, you
would have known the outcome of the season before the
season even started.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
But what if, what if they would have gone out
and they would have signed Dolman and they would have
traded for Joe Tooney and Jonah Jackson and then kept
Geno Smith. Well, they restructure contracts and blah blah blah.
I'm just saying, not those three guys specifically, But if
they would have proved the offensive line that much, traded
up for the best guard in the draft or taking
that guy at number eighteen, loading up on offensive lineman,
(14:07):
I think people would have felt good then too. Yes,
if they would have hung onto Gino, they would have
hung on the DK, but really just said, you know what,
we're gonna throw everything we got on the offensive line.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
But having said that there are still a lot of people,
including me, that just.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
See a ceiling on Gino Smith agree.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
No matter how good the offensive line is, there's a ceiling.
Jackson said it himself. He's probably the twelfth best quarterback
in the in the NFL. At times he's been the
twelfth best. At times he's been the sixteenth best. Its
time has been the twentieth best. So I'd could probably
call him more around fifteenth. But they got now than twelve.
They got to ten wins with a horrible offensive line.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
If they had a really good offensive line, could they
have been a twelve thirteen win team. I don't know,
maybe eleven win division whatever we're gonna break. We'll get
some more texts on this. We'll look at the text line,
do some fun with audio at five forty five. Look
you make the call at six and then Dan Bilsma.
As long as they keep winning, he's gonna keep coming
on the show right before the game with Utah tonight
at six fifteen or so on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
You're listening to the exclusive home of the Huskies, The
Cracking and March Madness. Now back to Safti and did
proudly brought to you by Emerald quin Casino on Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
So let's recap, shall we.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
For those that don't know the news of the day,
welcome back Sothy Dick Jackson with you until six twenty
Tonight we got cracking pregame six thirty with the Boyce
and the Utah Hockey Club by Dan Bowsma. Is going
to join us around six fifteen ish. They won on Wednesday.
He came on the show game Day, which they never do.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
No, the world stops spinning if coaches go on radio
shows on game day. We can't have that. He came
on the show Wednesday on a game day and they won,
So we're like, I get out, what what the hell?
Keep coming back? They keep winning. We'll keep talking on
game day. They win tonight, we may have to find
a way to podcast something on Sunday, but for the
Winnipen game.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So yeah, just chatting them off the air. Yeah, all right.
As long as we communicate with him, that's a good day.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
We can record the conversation and put it on our
put it on.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I don't even know if we have to post it.
I mean just just talking. If the sports gods just
want us talking, that's it. Maybe even just texting right,
sign language, whatever, anything. We'll figure it out. So that's
coming up around six fifteen. We'll do a little You
make the call. But Cooper Cupp is in three years,
forty five million dollars deal with the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
For those just.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Getting off work and haven't been looking at Twitter all
day long or here in talk radio. Cooper Cup, the
former Eastern Washington Eagle and Los Angeles Ram, is now
member of the Hawks. Ian Rappaport, Tom Pelasero and Mikey
get a photo on the NFL Network today talking about
how this deal with the Hawks came down.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Well for Cooper Cup, the word home was an important one, right.
He did have a ton of suitors, a lot of suitors,
several teams interested. And it's not just because he was
a free agent this week starting on Wednesdays, because everyone
is known he was going to be free agent since
the Monday before Super Bowl.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
That's when Cooper Cup himself tweeted that.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
The Rams are going to try to trade him, and
once that became clear, they did actually have some some
trade interests.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
A couple of teams talk to the rams.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
But reality is, most teams knew he was going to
be free, so several teams were.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
Interested, from the New Orleans Saints to the Denver.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Broncos, a little bit of Jacksonville Jaguars, maybe the Patriots,
maybe the forty nine. Reality is Cooper Cup wanted to
go home. He is from Washington. You mentioned he's from Yakima,
about two hours from the Seattle facility.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
I figure that out on my maps app.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Cooper Cup now gets to go home for a remade
offense in Seattle. He becomes now a key target for
Sam Donald and Mike.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
Look, I mean the money is real.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
He gets fifteen million dollars per year, three years, forty.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Five million dollars. That's real.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
It does seem, Mike, the Seahawks were if they were
not the highest bidder, they were right there. But the
tugging at the heartstrings, being able to play in front
of his family, going for a team he routedfour.
Speaker 10 (17:58):
This is a very very cooling for Cooper.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Top one hundred and forty two miles away from Yakama
Davis High School, two hours and seventeen minute drive. I
could do that drive in probably an hour and four
half way to Spokane.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
It's a different Yakama feels a little more home than Spokan.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, it does, but it doesn't feel like Seattle at all.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Yeah, it's Hevin Hill this morning was like the kid
from Seattle.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's like Buddy.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Although right, although we were talking about Bellingham, right and
whether it was a part of the Puget Sound region.
You can get to Yakama just about as quick as
you can get the belling right, but that's Puget Sound.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Future Sound is a much bigger region than Seattle.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But if my point is because you were talking about
the player, why are you that played at Ferndale High
School to Seattle?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It's not from Seattle, Dick.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
If we talked about a player that played at Ferndale
High School, I don't know that war number ten and
he came and played for the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
We would absolutely say he's coming home.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Uh yeah, And Ferndale is as far away as Yakama.
Speaker 11 (18:58):
There's a debate coming home made Washington State.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
He was like, Yeah, but he's not a he's not
a Seattle guy correct at all.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Sure, but he's like Cooper cup is coming home to
Washington State?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Why are we talking about that? I just jumped in,
who brought this up? Was it you?
Speaker 7 (19:14):
You?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
You said it was you were kind of the dismissive
of Will.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He was really coming home. I know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I just I brought it up because Rapaport did the
miles on the Google maps and whatever, and I just
wanted to confirm that he was right. Son of a bitch.
My god, I'm tally getting yelled at by everybody. Good guy,
but the the overall picture. So let's just go back
and your your poll about how excited are you? I
want to just ask, are the Seahawks a better football team?
Speaker 9 (19:42):
All?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Gino Smith out Sam Darnold in, You're probably gonna save
roughly ten twelve million bucks there.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
We haven't seen the contract from the.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Raiders yet, right, Yeah, I would imagine probably DK Metcalf
out Cooper cup In. You're saving about fifteen million dollars there.
So we're talking about roughly twenty five million dollar indifference
between those two players. Plus you gained the second, plus
you gained the third. So if I told you a
month ago, we're gonna get rid of Gino, We're gonna
(20:10):
get rid of DK, we're gonna bring in Sam Donald,
We're gonna bring in Cooper Cup.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
We're gonna give you twenty.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Five million dollars to spend, and we're gonna give you
a second and third round draft pick. Do you do
that deal? Door number one versus door number two. Door
number one is GINO and DK. Door number two is
Sam Donald, Cooper Cup, twenty five million bucks, a second
rounder and a third rounder. Oh, by the way, you
gotta swap a sixth and the seventh pick as well
with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
There's no way I would even thought that was I
would have thought that you were kidding me. Okay, yeah,
all right. I would have been like, are you.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Seriously, There's no way that John Schneider can get a
second and third and save twenty five million dollars and
get Sam Donald.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The Cooper Cup. There's no way it's possible. You didn't
say Sam Donald, right, And now what do you think, Jackson?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
There have been to one of those haunted houses where
there's like you have to go through one of the
doors or you know, two different doors, and like, either
way it's gonna scare you. It's different versions of the scare.
I feel like they just wrote on one of those doors,
do not come through danger lives?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Is that the geno the GIDK door.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You don't go in the other doors.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Like obviously come through this door. He's like, listen to
answer your question. Like, I don't think right now, at
this exact moment, at five thirty five on Friday, March fourteenth,
I don't think right now we're a better team than
we were five months ago. But on Monday when we
signed Tevin Jenkins, we will be. And in a month
from now, two months from now, when we have draft picks,
we will be. We are very very close to being
(21:41):
a better.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
So here's the point.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
They have set themselves up to absolutely be a better
football team.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Can they do it? Can they take advantage of it?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, John Schneider may just have like this thing
in his brain that he just can't find offensive lineman
and if that gets it away, then we're gonna be ft. Okay,
But they have set themselves up to absolutely than percent
give themselves a chance to be a better football team.
There's no question about that. And if they can't take
advantage of this opportunity now, then I think it's worth
(22:09):
talking about making a move and saying this just ain't
working because I'm with you. Door number one, Geno, DK,
Door number two, Donald Cooper, Cup second third, twenty five
million bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
On the surface, it's like, well dug vs right, Yeah,
it's just the same money.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
It's money.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, I mean you could have maybe, but those are
the big particular rac those are the big players in
the in the package.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
What I'm interested in is when you do this drill
in the first week of May, when we sit here
right and you write down the list of the second
round picked that the Seahawks got for DK, the third
round picked at the Seahawks Golfer, Gino Smith, the Tevin
Jenkins or whatever guard they pick up.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You write that list versus.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Geno and DK, because that has to be considered in
because that's money question that you will be you are
able to spend now that you wouldn't be able to
spend with DK Gino.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
What they do with the money will obviously be very important,
There's no question about that. So we are going to
have to look at it in a couple of months,
and honestly, we might have to look at it in
a year and see how those guys perform over the
twenty twenty five season. By the way, scariest thing I
ever saw when I was a kid is the horror section. Horror, horror,
(23:21):
not the two syllables, not horror section. The horror section
at the wax Museum in Victoria, Canada.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Have you ever been there?
Speaker 11 (23:30):
By the ways are so scary they believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, no, no, that's the Wax Museum in Victoria. I
don't even know if it's there anymore. My parents would
take us there all the time and they had this
like dungeon area. They had a horror section. It was
scary as hell. And the old Cube ninety three hundred
house by the way that we used to do before
they became KJR. Obviously, what's scary as hell? You're telling
(23:54):
me your parents never took you to.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Victoria to the wax museum, man, The Royal London wax them.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
The horror section there was insane, especially for like an
eight year old kid.
Speaker 11 (24:07):
Wax museums are just weight.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's kind of like clowns, right, They're just freaky.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, it was bad, man, I'm still scaring a Yeah,
I know what it looks. That's not scary. You look
at the horror section, the horror. Don't look up the
other stuff that you thought. I said, we've got to
break a little fun with audio coming now. It just
came up on a ninety three a RFM.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's now time for Softy and Dig's fun with audio.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Jimmy g Pawnstar, Jimmy mister garoppolo.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Now let's have some fun with audio.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
All right, Dan Bilesma, head coach of the crack I'm
gonna join us in a bam.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Half hour so on the radio show.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
As long as they keep winning, he keeps coming on
the air with us, I'll tell you what they lose.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Tonight, we're booting his ass off the air. He's done.
I'm done with him.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Really, yeah, you can't bring it home against an expansion team,
he finished.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Well, like you said earlier today when I when I
said that Utah sucked you better than we are. Better
than we are, I got a better record than the
crack man.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
All right, little fun with audio slash. Hey did you
hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (25:14):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Dick? All right?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Brian nem Houser Hawk blogger has gone viral, And if
you don't know, he'll tell you, by the way.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
In a Twitter account, new.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Seahawk defensive end to Marcus Lawrence, I'm just busting his
bulls joining Brian's Hawk Blogger podcast on YouTube yesterday and
shared his thoughts about leaving the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
You know, Dallas is my home made my home there,
you know, my family lives there. You know I'm ever
going to be there. But I know for sure I'm
not gonna win a Super Bowl there. So yeah, here,
we're here.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
DeMarcus Lawrence, Welcome to the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
So Micah Parsons responded to that and called him a
clown on social media. Steven A talked about it. NFL
Network talked about it. Good for Brian, He's getting a
lot of play around the country. But I don't know,
I mean, is he just playing to his new audience
in Seattle, or is he taking a dick at the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
On the way out the door or both. When I
first saw it, now if when I first saw it,
I just thought that just kind of slipped out right
like it it was just kind of honest, like, hey,
I wasn't gonna.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Win a Super Bowl there, so that's why.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And then listening to it again, it almost sounds like
he was on purpose trying to take a shot. So boy,
I'm I'm fifty to fifty one.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Well, I think, first of all, he's exactly right about it.
I mean, he's got a better shot here than you
would think he's gotten Dallas, has a.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Better shot twenty eight other places than he does in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
The Seahawks have been to three Super Bowls since the
Cowboys have been to their last one. The Jacksonville Jaguars
have been in the Conference championship game more recently than
the Dallas Cowboys have. Okay, I mean it's crazy, like
how bad they've been. It's amazing how bad they've been.
So hey, he's right, all right, Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yesterday on ESPN, while talking about DeMarcus Lawrence leaving Dallas
to join the Seat, Ryan Clark said, the Cowboys don't
care about winning anymore.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Another lost by the Cowboys.
Speaker 12 (27:06):
They don't care. I'm convinced the Cowboys just don't care. Yeah,
Cowboys is like, hey, man, it is what it is. Though,
we're gonna see what happened. We ain't trying to get
no better than all season.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
You know the amount of times that we've sat here
and try to even list off all of the needs
that Dallas still has in they're letting the Marcus Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That's a big loss. It's character, agreed and leadership.
Speaker 12 (27:29):
When you watched DeMarcus Lawrence play, he was the one
guy on the front left defensively that played football like
it was supposed to be playing.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So I don't want to misquote him.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
But I heard Hugh on yesterday with Chuck and Buck,
and he talked about the three sacks in the four
games that DeMarcus Lawrence had. I think he said all
three of them were results of pressure coming from somewhere
else and he ran into a sack. I'm pretty sure
that's what Hughes said, all right, So again, if I'm
misquoting him, I apologize. It's not ridiculous to think that
(28:02):
Jerry Jones or any GM of any team would say,
you know what, the guy played four games, he's thirty two.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Let's move on, of course and just go young. Of course.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So if this is the example that Ryan Clark, Ryan
Clarks really starting to bug me, by the way, If
this is the example that he's using of the Cowboys
throwing in the towel, it's a poor example. Give me
another example of why the Cowboys don't want to win
because getting rid of an aging veteran who missed thirteen
games a year ago.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's not a good example. How about I got one.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Okay, how about payan Dak Prescott's sixty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
That's a perfect example.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
How about this one not wanting to win head coach
who has never had head coach?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Another example?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Man, very good examples?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Will men would rather have Sam Darnold had thirty three
million or Dak Prescott at sixty million?
Speaker 11 (28:45):
Semi is not even close.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
It's not even close.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I did hear Rob Rain driving in today with Rob Rain?
Never heard of him, stop it.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
And he was He said he went to Cowboys training
camp this year. Uh huh's becting to see Micah Parsons
be the dominant member of the defense.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And he said that was not the case.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
De Marcus Lawrence was absolutely not only the dominant player
on the field, but the leader off the field, right,
and then played four games, so he's gotta be on
the field. I understand that.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So Michael Parsons was just taking that day off, is
what he was saying. Pretty much, just didn't give a
damn well Parsons.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
There's a lot of people that said Parsons didn't have
a great year last year.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, well, I mean, look, I again, you need a
rotation to defensive line. It's that It's got to be
the deepest position on your football team is the defensive front.
So bringing bodies, that's great. But I'm way more fired
up for the Cooper Cup thing that I am Demarkin
of Lawrence.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I mean, I will tell you that you look at
the tweet from DeMarcus Lawrence to Michael Parsons, where, dude,
maybe if you're on Twitter less, the Cowboys would win more.
I mean, maybe Michael Parsons isn't the dominant player because
he likes to just tweet a lot.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah exactly. You said way more, yeah, way more. What
I'm more excited to what I'm excited than Lawrence? Yeah
i am. I'm only slightly more. I'm only slave.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm more bullish on DeMarcus Lawrence than the guy that
tweeted out four negative things.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
About him within thirty Oh god, I'm never gonna.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Let you you ever see every time he gets a sack,
I'm gonna tweet out. Do you remember when soft You
ripped them for you?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Ever see the movie Step Brothers?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Remember when Rob Riggle looked at Will Ferrell in the
office at the helicopter company and just said, you know what,
I just want to.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Punch you, Colleen. Remember that? Remember that that.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I just look at him sometimes and don't please, don't
take this the wrong way, please begging you. I just
right now, I just want to suck you right the nose. Okay, Hey, Dick,
did you happen.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
To hear that? What's that?
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
After Auburn's winning, this is awesome?
Speaker 4 (30:44):
What's what?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Coach is swearing all this sudden?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
After Auburn's winning the SEC Tournament today, Bruce Pearl joined
College Basketball Live on ESPN and had this to say
about his guards.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
The key to our three point line defense is I
got bigs that you can get out their guard guards.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
I got bigs out their guard guards, and my guards up.
They're going to go down there and bag a little bit.
You know, they're He's not writing my check right now.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
My guards aren't pussy cats.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, except he didn't add the cat.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
No, how about that. I mean, I don't know. Maybe
his guards have been getting some heat for that.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I don't follow Auburn basketball. They're really good. They might
be the best team in America. I think they're now
seventeen and four versus quad one teams. By the way,
they're awesome. But I kind of like it that he's
getting his guys fired up before the tournament.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Bruce Pearl has been one of my favorite college basketball
coaches of the last Jewish guy. He is absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Loved it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Doesn't look I loved them at Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I love the fact that he had those viral videos
where he goes into the crowd at women's basketball games
and takes his shirt off and paints himself orange. I mean,
that's just it's just awesome. And now he has never
done it. He has never been to the Mountain top.
I would love to see him win.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
It all this y okay, Can I ask you an
honest question, are you deaf?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
I was talking.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm not gonna stop my train of thunt because you
have fun. I couldn't even get a laugh out of you.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
This kid doesn't look Jewish.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You could even get a chuckle out of him? Nothing
out of you?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
What do I have to do to make you laugh?
Pisses me off? He laughs at everything I do you nothing,
I get nothing out of you. It's like your corpse
over there. Well, like I new, Jesus, Hi bar one more? Yeah, yes, minute,
let's do it. Heye, screw the clock? Hey Dick, did
you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
On Tuesday's TNT's NBA postgame show, Shack congratulating Portland Trailblazers
coach Chauncey Billups for turning around the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
You said something very interested about Cake Dunning. Great player
now at this day, he plays at his own pace.
It's a great player. I like the way he's playing.
I like what Chelsey is doing. Those guys play hard.
My favorite player on that team was Isaiah Stewart. Big body,
hard guy, like to make people out pushing.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
I can't let this go. Who's doing it? He said
Chauncey chunce is okay.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
You know, first of all, I don't watch Detroit. How
about that boom boo?
Speaker 10 (33:09):
I don't watch them.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
In his defense, Chauncey did play for Detroit won a
title there back in the day, Right, So I.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Did he get confused?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Did he just go down the road and say, the
hell with it, I'm gonna keep going, or did he
honestly believe that Chauncey Billups was the head coach of
the Pistons.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
He honestly believed that Chauncey Billups was, oh yead coach.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
But he did say like, I made a mistake. But
he also said, I don't watch Detroit. How much does check.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Make fifteen million dollars? You make fifteen million.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
Dollars you watch it? Don't know every head coach in
your league?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Well here, but that's part of his charm though, right
in that part of Shack's charm, well in the part
of Barkley's charm, like do you think these guys are
watching tape like Millan is of NBA basketball games breaking
things down, know who.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
The head coach is? Entertained? He even give the guy
about I agree with Jackson.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
However, it shows the problem, part of the problem with
the NBA. There's twenty five meaningless franchise yes in the NBA,
and the Pistons are one of them. And the Pistons
are one of them, and the Blazers are one of them.
And nobody knows nothing about any one of those twenty
five teams. Everybody knows everything about the Lakers and the Celtics,
that's right, Warriors, and I mean everybody knows everything about
(34:26):
those teams. Nobody knows anything about the bottom twenty five.
And they're like teasing. It's to a point now where
Seck's teasing about it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's great, Then it's entertaining. Why not, Hey, you're so bad.
I don't even know who your coaches and nor do
I care. That's hilarious. That's what that show is supposed
to be all about. By the way, I'm putting big
money on the Nuggets tonight, big money given fifteen against
the Luca and lebron less Lakers. Big money I lose.
I might be in your basement by tomorrow morning. Austin
(34:54):
Reeves going for fifty five tonight. Stick it the salty, No,
we're gonna break
Well, joining us right now on the radio program. Your friend,
my friend, everybody's friend. You gotta be a real salt
the SOB to not like this guy that's our friend.
Jackson Bevans with us on the radio show, swinging by
to say hello, representing the Gino Defenders Club.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
How are you, Pal?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm doing great, fellows, thanks for having me on on
our day with big wide receiver news resigning Cody White.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, huge, huge signing by the Hawks. Well, i'll tell
you what. We're gonna have you on the air. The
plan was to have you on the air and kind of,
you know, speak your mind on GINO and you know,
you know him take it off and Darnald coming in
and we'll get to all that in a second. But man,
Cooper Cup is in the Marcus Lawrence is in, Marcus Valdez,
Scandling is in. Sam Darnold is in. What do you
(00:46):
make of all the moves the Hawks have made in
just the last few days.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Pal.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Uh mostly into it again like it just won't matter
if they can't block until you know, the jury's out.
Everyone knows this isn't some incredible insight on my part.
But it's been it's been ten years with me giving
John Schneider benefit of the doubt, in ten years of
(01:11):
the offensive line stinking. So I think because the Cup
makes us a better team. I love what they're doing
on defense right now, like really love what they're doing
on defense right now. And I'm taking a wait and
see approach on Sam Donald because I am just not
convinced that they're better off the quarterback or even as good.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
What about what the money factored in saving your twelve
to fifteen million dollars between Gino and Sam and getting
some compensation for Gino.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah? Yeah, the compensation, the money savings and the age
helped to bridge the gap. I think the Gino Smith
is better at everything than Sam Donald is. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, so I'm gonna tweet that out. I'm gonna Jackson.
I'm gonna unleash the Twitter hounds on ye. I gotta
send that quote out on social media. Go ahead and
finish your take on that.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Go ahead, it's all here.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
There's nothing I haven't said before. Yeah, you know, I
want to be wrong on that. I was wrong about Geno.
You know, I remember when Russ was traded and the
big debate was going to be Geno Smith or d Locke,
and I went on my own show and said, you know,
it doesn't matter because these guys will be here after
a year. So I'm always willing to change my opinion
(02:29):
when there's compelling evidence to the contrary. And you know,
Smith gave us three years a very compelling evidence, So
I hope that happens with Sam Darnold. I do think
that he is a good fit for the Kubiak style system. Again,
you know, it doesn't matter if God himself is the
quarterback of the Seahawks. If they can't block, yep, you
know it won't matter.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I want to make sure you get the quote right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think Geno Smith is better at everything than Sam
Donald is. Is that Fairgnant got it done Boom Post.
I do agree it's gonna line obviously. I mean, look
all these other moves they've made. I wouldn't call Sam
Donald a toy. You know, Cooper Cup mvs. DeMarcus Lawrence
maybe fall into that category. But you know, the Donald
(03:13):
thing is obviously much bigger than that because he's the
most important position in sports. But I do agree with
you that they do need to get that line done
or none of this is really going to matter. So
they've got some money left to spend, They've got a
lot of draft capital. How much confidence do you have
in John Schneider Jackson for the first time, let's face it,
really since early in his career as a GM being
(03:35):
able to turn this offensive line around.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Not very much, because it's been a decade. And you know,
the my my concern with bringing Donald in is that
he is a highly pressure sensitive quarterback. You know, the
the delta in performance for just about every metric between
Geno Smith when he had a queen pocket and when
(04:03):
he was pressured is a lot, lot lot smaller than
the delta between Sam Donald's performance in a queen pocket
and when he's pressured. I want to believe that Sam
Donald is a major reason that the Vikings won fourteen games.
I'm old enough to remember that case Keenum won fifteen
(04:25):
games with the Bikings and didn't do anything after that.
So we have a really really large sample size of
Sam Donald not being able to handle pressure. Hopefully there
is room for growth there. We have an even bigger
sample size of the interior Seattle's offensive line creating really
(04:46):
quick pressure, and so I think that the baseline of
necessary ability up front has been raised by dringing. Sam
Donald because you don't have a quarterback would show the
ability to mitigate that as well as you know Smith did,
so Yeah. I do think, however, being able to use
(05:07):
a lot more pre snapp motion to employ a you
know more twelve personnel, so so two tight ends, one
running back, two wide receivers instead of the eleven personnel
that'saw seat, I'll have three receivers on the field all
the time last year will help bootleg play action is
something Sam Donald does do well in that Kubiak Lee's
a lot of off of that wide zone scheme. So
(05:30):
I think there's some stylistic fits where this could really work.
I just think the margin for air got a lot smaller.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
It seems like if you voted in my poll that
I just put out that a lot of people have
voted on, you would not agree with the vast majority.
And the poll was how jacked for this season? Are
you compared to how you've been the last few years? Again, Yeah,
the pole I put more less and I also Dave
had a weasel option, which is about about the same
(05:57):
seventy two percent more two percent less. I mean, it
is a landslide. There is something about getting rid of
Geno Smith and DK Metcalf that people really like around here.
Would you have gotten rid of Dk Metcalf? You already
said no about Geno Smith?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Would I have no? But I don't think it was
like a terrible decision, especially if you.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Know, if it had gotten to the point where, you know,
Metcalf had kind of made up his mind to go
somewhere else, then you know, I think letting someone else
say him that money and getting a mid second in
return is fine on a personal level.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You know, I'm bummed. I think that your pull highlights
one of my frustrations with a lot of feedback that
I get from Seatt fans, which is to really not
only counted but very cool players suffering a lot of
unnecessary slings and arrows from fans hyper focused on a
(07:00):
few negatives and being willing to overlook a tremendous amount
of positives in order to focus on those things. So
I'm less excited about this season right also willing to
you know, reserve judgment and really hoping that I'm wrong.
I mean, you're not going to catch me, you know,
pouting if the Seahawks end up winning twelve games in
(07:23):
the division because what I said in March isn't true.
That's that's not how I'm wired. I'm no interest in that.
But if I had to guess whether this team was
going to do better in twenty twenty five than he
did in twenty twenty four, I would take the under Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All right, Jackson Bevans is with us just negative Nelly
with us on the air.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I know I'm kidding him.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
By the way, there's a lot of responses to the quote,
the money quote about Geno being better at everything than
Darnold is. Let's see Dean Miller with the laughing emoji.
Kyle Oakes give it a rest, it's over with Matt
Munt says you should stick to real estate.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Does anybody agree with Ben sand savor? Jackson has some
weird ass obsession over Gino? Give it a rest man, Yeah,
are there are? But doesn't no fun to read. There's
a lot of people that agree with you out there.
So what is what for you? And maybe it is
just Jackson again, Jackson Bevans with us on the here.
Maybe it is just about the wins and losses, which really,
in the end is all people should care about. But
(08:22):
what does Sam Darnold need to do. What does he
need to show you in year number one to make
you feel like this was worth it?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well, he said it in his own press conference. I
need to get the ball out on time. Like that's
something that he's never that he's never done. He was
able to not get the ball out on time in Minnesota.
It's the first time in his career that he's been
in a situation where he didn't have to throw the
ball quickly. And not coincidentally, it is the first time
in his career that he had successive quarterback So can
(08:54):
he change that after the seven years in the league.
I hope.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
So.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I mean, we thought tremendous growth from Gino Smith's late
in his career. So and and you know, look, I
know it's it's easy. This is people are going to
respond on Twitter and to what's being said on the radio.
You know, it tends to be super binary. And I
get it. That's that's fine. We want to put things
into a box and do away with nuance. And you know,
(09:20):
I get it. I have defended Geno Smith and so
a lot of folks who have grown up in this
era of you know, forced argument. Sports coverage are going
to say, Oh, you know you're glazy, Gina. You think
he's the lead, and you think he's always thinks Now,
I don't belive he's Joe Burrow. I'll be Josh. I
don't think he's Patrick Mahomes. I think he's roughly the
(09:42):
twelfth best quarterback in the NFL, and I think the
average fan severely underestimates how hard it is to improve
on the twelfth best quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I think the frustration lies in just the constant either
missing the playoffs or barely making the playoffs, and now
Geno's price tag goes up so much more. Deep case
price tag goes up so much more. I mean that
for I think most people. I think most people liked Gene.
I think most people really like DK Metcalf. But if
you can't get there with them making a modicum of money,
(10:12):
you're not gonna get there with them making a heck
of a lot more money, are you.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I'm going to push back on the idea that Geno's
money or DK's money has in the past or would
have in the future, precluded John Snyder from spending money
on the offensive line, but he has never done it.
And you know, Schneider's strength have been at the skill
positions on offense. He's done a phenomenal job bringing quarterback talent,
running back talent, and receiving talent. Like that's great. But
(10:41):
the reason that the Seahawks haven't won more than nine
or ten games and barely miswinning the division. We're acting
like this is this awful thing isn't because a quarterback
player wide receiver play. I think that is willful ignorance
if that is the perspective people are taking. Getting worse
at quarterback and receiver only is going to help this
(11:02):
team get better if those funds and the draft picks
and everything else that you get back are put to
work in a real productive way offensive line. And we
have seen nothing in a decade to suggest that John
Schnyder is capable of doing that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, I'll just tell you what I told Dick earlier,
that Schnyder's kind of putting his balls out there.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, if this doesn't work and they and they
go backwards, he's he's next. I mean, you fire a
head coach, you get rid of two quarterbacks, and Russell
Wilson now and Geno Smith and trade maybe your best
offensive player in DK Metcalf and a lot of people's eyes.
You're putting the cleag lights squarely on you, so we
know that he is. He is not concerned about that
because he made moves that would be a terrible reflection
of him if they don't work. Hey, Jackson, listen, man,
(11:44):
great stuff. Appreciate this and we'll talk soon. Buddy and
joining the weekend pal.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
All right, love you guys, Thanks for the champion.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I got it man, now, no doubt Jackson Bevans with us.
And I mean, just going back to your poll about
like the excitement level for the Seahawks. I mean, I
can just speak for myself. I am more excited today
than I was two weeks ago. I'm thrilled about the
Cooper Cup signing. We did a show about a month
ago where all three of us asked each other, are
we ready to just move on from Gino Smith?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
And we all said yes.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now, I will tell you this, when we all said
yes on the air, I thought for sure that meant
good things for Gino Smith and Seattle. And we're going
to look like idiots. They're going to resign the guy.
He's going to be the MVP of the NFL. We're
gonna look stupid, right, So never did I really imagine
that they would do this and get rid of him
and move him. I thought they would restructure the deal,
drop the salary cap, hit down a little bit, and
(12:33):
the guy'd be a Seahawks. So I was ready to
move on. You both were ready to move on. The
Cooper Cup thing now comes down. They get the number
one available quarterback and free agency, they save somebody. I
feel like the Hawks have turned a corner. Now the
offensive line will be the rocket ship that will decide
how fast they go. I feel like they're on the
way back, and I feel like the energy is coming
(12:54):
back to the vMac man.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That's just the way I feel right now. Good time.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
That's why what Jackson said about his excitement level for
the twenty five season. I mean it's like it's like
one Jackson is on the dark side and then there's
me on the good side, and.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You're usually negative, negative, right.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Like, honestly, like my excitement level for this season, like
it's miles higher than it was for the last couple
of seasons, because.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Like it's new, it's new, it's something exactly. It's new.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
It might be a disaster, but it's new.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
I can't even understand how your excitement level could be
less than last season.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
There was a lot of what's the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
There was a lot of when something just feels tired
and old, I mean, give me something else, yes.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, it just felt it just it just felt stale.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You knew if they brought back Geno and DK, you
would have known the outcome of the season before the
season even started.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
But what if, what if they would have gone out
and they would have signed Dolman and they would have
traded for Joe Tooney and Jonah Jackson and then kept
Geno Smith. Well, they restructure contracts and blah blah blah.
I'm just saying, not those three guys specifically, But if
they would have proved the offensive line that much, traded
up for the best guard in the draft or taking
that guy at number eighteen, loading up on offensive lineman,
(14:07):
I think people would have felt good then too. Yes,
if they would have hung onto Gino, they would have
hung on the DK, but really just said, you know what,
we're gonna throw everything we got on the offensive line.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
But having said that there are still a lot of people,
including me, that just.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
See a ceiling on Gino Smith agree.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
No matter how good the offensive line is, there's a ceiling.
Jackson said it himself. He's probably the twelfth best quarterback
in the in the NFL. At times he's been the
twelfth best. At times he's been the sixteenth best. Its
time has been the twentieth best. So I'd could probably
call him more around fifteenth. But they got now than twelve.
They got to ten wins with a horrible offensive line.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
If they had a really good offensive line, could they
have been a twelve thirteen win team. I don't know,
maybe eleven win division whatever we're gonna break. We'll get
some more texts on this. We'll look at the text line,
do some fun with audio at five forty five. Look
you make the call at six and then Dan Bilsma.
As long as they keep winning, he's gonna keep coming
on the show right before the game with Utah tonight
at six fifteen or so on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
You're listening to the exclusive home of the Huskies, The
Cracking and March Madness. Now back to Safti and did
proudly brought to you by Emerald quin Casino on Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
So let's recap, shall we.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
For those that don't know the news of the day,
welcome back Sothy Dick Jackson with you until six twenty
Tonight we got cracking pregame six thirty with the Boyce
and the Utah Hockey Club by Dan Bowsma. Is going
to join us around six fifteen ish. They won on Wednesday.
He came on the show game Day, which they never do.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
No, the world stops spinning if coaches go on radio
shows on game day. We can't have that. He came
on the show Wednesday on a game day and they won,
So we're like, I get out, what what the hell?
Keep coming back? They keep winning. We'll keep talking on
game day. They win tonight, we may have to find
a way to podcast something on Sunday, but for the
Winnipen game.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So yeah, just chatting them off the air. Yeah, all right.
As long as we communicate with him, that's a good day.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
We can record the conversation and put it on our
put it on.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I don't even know if we have to post it.
I mean just just talking. If the sports gods just
want us talking, that's it. Maybe even just texting right,
sign language, whatever, anything. We'll figure it out. So that's
coming up around six fifteen. We'll do a little You
make the call. But Cooper Cupp is in three years,
forty five million dollars deal with the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
For those just.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Getting off work and haven't been looking at Twitter all
day long or here in talk radio. Cooper Cup, the
former Eastern Washington Eagle and Los Angeles Ram, is now
member of the Hawks. Ian Rappaport, Tom Pelasero and Mikey
get a photo on the NFL Network today talking about
how this deal with the Hawks came down.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Well for Cooper Cup, the word home was an important one, right.
He did have a ton of suitors, a lot of suitors,
several teams interested. And it's not just because he was
a free agent this week starting on Wednesdays, because everyone
is known he was going to be free agent since
the Monday before Super Bowl.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
That's when Cooper Cup himself tweeted that.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
The Rams are going to try to trade him, and
once that became clear, they did actually have some some
trade interests.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
A couple of teams talk to the rams.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
But reality is, most teams knew he was going to
be free, so several teams were.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
Interested, from the New Orleans Saints to the Denver.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Broncos, a little bit of Jacksonville Jaguars, maybe the Patriots,
maybe the forty nine. Reality is Cooper Cup wanted to
go home. He is from Washington. You mentioned he's from Yakima,
about two hours from the Seattle facility.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
I figure that out on my maps app.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Cooper Cup now gets to go home for a remade
offense in Seattle. He becomes now a key target for
Sam Donald and Mike.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
Look, I mean the money is real.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
He gets fifteen million dollars per year, three years, forty.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Five million dollars. That's real.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
It does seem, Mike, the Seahawks were if they were
not the highest bidder, they were right there. But the
tugging at the heartstrings, being able to play in front
of his family, going for a team he routedfour.
Speaker 10 (17:58):
This is a very very cooling for Cooper.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Top one hundred and forty two miles away from Yakama
Davis High School, two hours and seventeen minute drive. I
could do that drive in probably an hour and four
half way to Spokane.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
It's a different Yakama feels a little more home than Spokan.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, it does, but it doesn't feel like Seattle at all.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Yeah, it's Hevin Hill this morning was like the kid
from Seattle.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's like Buddy.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Although right, although we were talking about Bellingham, right and
whether it was a part of the Puget Sound region.
You can get to Yakama just about as quick as
you can get the belling right, but that's Puget Sound.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Future Sound is a much bigger region than Seattle.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But if my point is because you were talking about
the player, why are you that played at Ferndale High
School to Seattle?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It's not from Seattle, Dick.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
If we talked about a player that played at Ferndale
High School, I don't know that war number ten and
he came and played for the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
We would absolutely say he's coming home.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Uh yeah, And Ferndale is as far away as Yakama.
Speaker 11 (18:58):
There's a debate coming home made Washington State.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
He was like, Yeah, but he's not a he's not
a Seattle guy correct at all.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Sure, but he's like Cooper cup is coming home to
Washington State?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Why are we talking about that? I just jumped in,
who brought this up? Was it you?
Speaker 7 (19:14):
You?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
You said it was you were kind of the dismissive
of Will.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He was really coming home. I know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I just I brought it up because Rapaport did the
miles on the Google maps and whatever, and I just
wanted to confirm that he was right. Son of a bitch.
My god, I'm tally getting yelled at by everybody. Good guy,
but the the overall picture. So let's just go back
and your your poll about how excited are you? I
want to just ask, are the Seahawks a better football team?
Speaker 9 (19:42):
All?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Gino Smith out Sam Darnold in, You're probably gonna save
roughly ten twelve million bucks there.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
We haven't seen the contract from the.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Raiders yet, right, Yeah, I would imagine probably DK Metcalf
out Cooper cup In. You're saving about fifteen million dollars there.
So we're talking about roughly twenty five million dollar indifference
between those two players. Plus you gained the second, plus
you gained the third. So if I told you a
month ago, we're gonna get rid of Gino, We're gonna
(20:10):
get rid of DK, we're gonna bring in Sam Donald,
We're gonna bring in Cooper Cup.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
We're gonna give you twenty.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Five million dollars to spend, and we're gonna give you
a second and third round draft pick. Do you do
that deal? Door number one versus door number two. Door
number one is GINO and DK. Door number two is
Sam Donald, Cooper Cup, twenty five million bucks, a second
rounder and a third rounder. Oh, by the way, you
gotta swap a sixth and the seventh pick as well
with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
There's no way I would even thought that was I
would have thought that you were kidding me. Okay, yeah,
all right. I would have been like, are you.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Seriously, There's no way that John Schneider can get a
second and third and save twenty five million dollars and
get Sam Donald.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The Cooper Cup. There's no way it's possible. You didn't
say Sam Donald, right, And now what do you think, Jackson?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
There have been to one of those haunted houses where
there's like you have to go through one of the
doors or you know, two different doors, and like, either
way it's gonna scare you. It's different versions of the scare.
I feel like they just wrote on one of those doors,
do not come through danger lives?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Is that the geno the GIDK door.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You don't go in the other doors.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Like obviously come through this door. He's like, listen to
answer your question. Like, I don't think right now, at
this exact moment, at five thirty five on Friday, March fourteenth,
I don't think right now we're a better team than
we were five months ago. But on Monday when we
signed Tevin Jenkins, we will be. And in a month
from now, two months from now, when we have draft picks,
we will be. We are very very close to being
(21:41):
a better.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
So here's the point.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
They have set themselves up to absolutely be a better
football team.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Can they do it? Can they take advantage of it?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, John Schneider may just have like this thing
in his brain that he just can't find offensive lineman
and if that gets it away, then we're gonna be ft. Okay,
But they have set themselves up to absolutely than percent
give themselves a chance to be a better football team.
There's no question about that. And if they can't take
advantage of this opportunity now, then I think it's worth
(22:09):
talking about making a move and saying this just ain't
working because I'm with you. Door number one, Geno, DK,
Door number two, Donald Cooper, Cup second third, twenty five
million bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
On the surface, it's like, well dug vs right, Yeah,
it's just the same money.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
It's money.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, I mean you could have maybe, but those are
the big particular rac those are the big players in
the in the package.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
What I'm interested in is when you do this drill
in the first week of May, when we sit here
right and you write down the list of the second
round picked that the Seahawks got for DK, the third
round picked at the Seahawks Golfer, Gino Smith, the Tevin
Jenkins or whatever guard they pick up.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You write that list versus.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Geno and DK, because that has to be considered in
because that's money question that you will be you are
able to spend now that you wouldn't be able to
spend with DK Gino.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
What they do with the money will obviously be very important,
There's no question about that. So we are going to
have to look at it in a couple of months,
and honestly, we might have to look at it in
a year and see how those guys perform over the
twenty twenty five season. By the way, scariest thing I
ever saw when I was a kid is the horror section. Horror, horror,
(23:21):
not the two syllables, not horror section. The horror section
at the wax Museum in Victoria, Canada.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Have you ever been there?
Speaker 11 (23:30):
By the ways are so scary they believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, no, no, that's the Wax Museum in Victoria. I
don't even know if it's there anymore. My parents would
take us there all the time and they had this
like dungeon area. They had a horror section. It was
scary as hell. And the old Cube ninety three hundred
house by the way that we used to do before
they became KJR. Obviously, what's scary as hell? You're telling
(23:54):
me your parents never took you to.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Victoria to the wax museum, man, The Royal London wax them.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
The horror section there was insane, especially for like an
eight year old kid.
Speaker 11 (24:07):
Wax museums are just weight.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's kind of like clowns, right, They're just freaky.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, it was bad, man, I'm still scaring a Yeah,
I know what it looks. That's not scary. You look
at the horror section, the horror. Don't look up the
other stuff that you thought. I said, we've got to
break a little fun with audio coming now. It just
came up on a ninety three a RFM.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's now time for Softy and Dig's fun with audio.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Jimmy g Pawnstar, Jimmy mister garoppolo.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Now let's have some fun with audio.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
All right, Dan Bilesma, head coach of the crack I'm
gonna join us in a bam.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Half hour so on the radio show.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
As long as they keep winning, he keeps coming on
the air with us, I'll tell you what they lose.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Tonight, we're booting his ass off the air. He's done.
I'm done with him.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Really, yeah, you can't bring it home against an expansion team,
he finished.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Well, like you said earlier today when I when I
said that Utah sucked you better than we are. Better
than we are, I got a better record than the
crack man.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
All right, little fun with audio slash. Hey did you
hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (25:14):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Dick? All right?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Brian nem Houser Hawk blogger has gone viral, And if
you don't know, he'll tell you, by the way.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
In a Twitter account, new.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Seahawk defensive end to Marcus Lawrence, I'm just busting his
bulls joining Brian's Hawk Blogger podcast on YouTube yesterday and
shared his thoughts about leaving the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
You know, Dallas is my home made my home there,
you know, my family lives there. You know I'm ever
going to be there. But I know for sure I'm
not gonna win a Super Bowl there. So yeah, here,
we're here.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
DeMarcus Lawrence, Welcome to the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
So Micah Parsons responded to that and called him a
clown on social media. Steven A talked about it. NFL
Network talked about it. Good for Brian, He's getting a
lot of play around the country. But I don't know,
I mean, is he just playing to his new audience
in Seattle, or is he taking a dick at the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
On the way out the door or both. When I
first saw it, now if when I first saw it,
I just thought that just kind of slipped out right
like it it was just kind of honest, like, hey,
I wasn't gonna.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Win a Super Bowl there, so that's why.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And then listening to it again, it almost sounds like
he was on purpose trying to take a shot. So boy,
I'm I'm fifty to fifty one.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Well, I think, first of all, he's exactly right about it.
I mean, he's got a better shot here than you
would think he's gotten Dallas, has a.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Better shot twenty eight other places than he does in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
The Seahawks have been to three Super Bowls since the
Cowboys have been to their last one. The Jacksonville Jaguars
have been in the Conference championship game more recently than
the Dallas Cowboys have. Okay, I mean it's crazy, like
how bad they've been. It's amazing how bad they've been.
So hey, he's right, all right, Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yesterday on ESPN, while talking about DeMarcus Lawrence leaving Dallas
to join the Seat, Ryan Clark said, the Cowboys don't
care about winning anymore.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Another lost by the Cowboys.
Speaker 12 (27:06):
They don't care. I'm convinced the Cowboys just don't care. Yeah,
Cowboys is like, hey, man, it is what it is. Though,
we're gonna see what happened. We ain't trying to get
no better than all season.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
You know the amount of times that we've sat here
and try to even list off all of the needs
that Dallas still has in they're letting the Marcus Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That's a big loss. It's character, agreed and leadership.
Speaker 12 (27:29):
When you watched DeMarcus Lawrence play, he was the one
guy on the front left defensively that played football like
it was supposed to be playing.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So I don't want to misquote him.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
But I heard Hugh on yesterday with Chuck and Buck,
and he talked about the three sacks in the four
games that DeMarcus Lawrence had. I think he said all
three of them were results of pressure coming from somewhere
else and he ran into a sack. I'm pretty sure
that's what Hughes said, all right, So again, if I'm
misquoting him, I apologize. It's not ridiculous to think that
(28:02):
Jerry Jones or any GM of any team would say,
you know what, the guy played four games, he's thirty two.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Let's move on, of course and just go young. Of course.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So if this is the example that Ryan Clark, Ryan
Clarks really starting to bug me, by the way, If
this is the example that he's using of the Cowboys
throwing in the towel, it's a poor example. Give me
another example of why the Cowboys don't want to win
because getting rid of an aging veteran who missed thirteen
games a year ago.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's not a good example. How about I got one.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Okay, how about payan Dak Prescott's sixty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
That's a perfect example.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
How about this one not wanting to win head coach
who has never had head coach?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Another example?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Man, very good examples?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Will men would rather have Sam Darnold had thirty three
million or Dak Prescott at sixty million?
Speaker 11 (28:45):
Semi is not even close.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
It's not even close.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I did hear Rob Rain driving in today with Rob Rain?
Never heard of him, stop it.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
And he was He said he went to Cowboys training
camp this year. Uh huh's becting to see Micah Parsons
be the dominant member of the defense.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And he said that was not the case.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
De Marcus Lawrence was absolutely not only the dominant player
on the field, but the leader off the field, right,
and then played four games, so he's gotta be on
the field. I understand that.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So Michael Parsons was just taking that day off, is
what he was saying. Pretty much, just didn't give a
damn well Parsons.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
There's a lot of people that said Parsons didn't have
a great year last year.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, well, I mean, look, I again, you need a
rotation to defensive line. It's that It's got to be
the deepest position on your football team is the defensive front.
So bringing bodies, that's great. But I'm way more fired
up for the Cooper Cup thing that I am Demarkin
of Lawrence.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I mean, I will tell you that you look at
the tweet from DeMarcus Lawrence to Michael Parsons, where, dude,
maybe if you're on Twitter less, the Cowboys would win more.
I mean, maybe Michael Parsons isn't the dominant player because
he likes to just tweet a lot.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah exactly. You said way more, yeah, way more. What
I'm more excited to what I'm excited than Lawrence? Yeah
i am. I'm only slightly more. I'm only slave.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm more bullish on DeMarcus Lawrence than the guy that
tweeted out four negative things.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
About him within thirty Oh god, I'm never gonna.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Let you you ever see every time he gets a sack,
I'm gonna tweet out. Do you remember when soft You
ripped them for you?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Ever see the movie Step Brothers?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Remember when Rob Riggle looked at Will Ferrell in the
office at the helicopter company and just said, you know what,
I just want to.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Punch you, Colleen. Remember that? Remember that that.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I just look at him sometimes and don't please, don't
take this the wrong way, please begging you. I just
right now, I just want to suck you right the nose. Okay, Hey, Dick,
did you happen.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
To hear that? What's that?
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
After Auburn's winning, this is awesome?
Speaker 4 (30:44):
What's what?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Coach is swearing all this sudden?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
After Auburn's winning the SEC Tournament today, Bruce Pearl joined
College Basketball Live on ESPN and had this to say
about his guards.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
The key to our three point line defense is I
got bigs that you can get out their guard guards.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
I got bigs out their guard guards, and my guards up.
They're going to go down there and bag a little bit.
You know, they're He's not writing my check right now.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
My guards aren't pussy cats.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, except he didn't add the cat.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
No, how about that. I mean, I don't know. Maybe
his guards have been getting some heat for that.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I don't follow Auburn basketball. They're really good. They might
be the best team in America. I think they're now
seventeen and four versus quad one teams. By the way,
they're awesome. But I kind of like it that he's
getting his guys fired up before the tournament.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Bruce Pearl has been one of my favorite college basketball
coaches of the last Jewish guy. He is absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Loved it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Doesn't look I loved them at Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I love the fact that he had those viral videos
where he goes into the crowd at women's basketball games
and takes his shirt off and paints himself orange. I mean,
that's just it's just awesome. And now he has never
done it. He has never been to the Mountain top.
I would love to see him win.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
It all this y okay, Can I ask you an
honest question, are you deaf?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
I was talking.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm not gonna stop my train of thunt because you
have fun. I couldn't even get a laugh out of you.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
This kid doesn't look Jewish.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You could even get a chuckle out of him? Nothing
out of you?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
What do I have to do to make you laugh?
Pisses me off? He laughs at everything I do you nothing,
I get nothing out of you. It's like your corpse
over there. Well, like I new, Jesus, Hi bar one more? Yeah, yes, minute,
let's do it. Heye, screw the clock? Hey Dick, did
you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
On Tuesday's TNT's NBA postgame show, Shack congratulating Portland Trailblazers
coach Chauncey Billups for turning around the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
You said something very interested about Cake Dunning. Great player
now at this day, he plays at his own pace.
It's a great player. I like the way he's playing.
I like what Chelsey is doing. Those guys play hard.
My favorite player on that team was Isaiah Stewart. Big body,
hard guy, like to make people out pushing.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
I can't let this go. Who's doing it? He said
Chauncey chunce is okay.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
You know, first of all, I don't watch Detroit. How
about that boom boo?
Speaker 10 (33:09):
I don't watch them.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
In his defense, Chauncey did play for Detroit won a
title there back in the day, Right, So I.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Did he get confused?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Did he just go down the road and say, the
hell with it, I'm gonna keep going, or did he
honestly believe that Chauncey Billups was the head coach of
the Pistons.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
He honestly believed that Chauncey Billups was, oh yead coach.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
But he did say like, I made a mistake. But
he also said, I don't watch Detroit. How much does check.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Make fifteen million dollars? You make fifteen million.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
Dollars you watch it? Don't know every head coach in
your league?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Well here, but that's part of his charm though, right
in that part of Shack's charm, well in the part
of Barkley's charm, like do you think these guys are
watching tape like Millan is of NBA basketball games breaking
things down, know who.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
The head coach is? Entertained? He even give the guy
about I agree with Jackson.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
However, it shows the problem, part of the problem with
the NBA. There's twenty five meaningless franchise yes in the NBA,
and the Pistons are one of them. And the Pistons
are one of them, and the Blazers are one of them.
And nobody knows nothing about any one of those twenty
five teams. Everybody knows everything about the Lakers and the Celtics,
that's right, Warriors, and I mean everybody knows everything about
(34:26):
those teams. Nobody knows anything about the bottom twenty five.
And they're like teasing. It's to a point now where
Seck's teasing about it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's great, Then it's entertaining. Why not, Hey, you're so bad.
I don't even know who your coaches and nor do
I care. That's hilarious. That's what that show is supposed
to be all about. By the way, I'm putting big
money on the Nuggets tonight, big money given fifteen against
the Luca and lebron less Lakers. Big money I lose.
I might be in your basement by tomorrow morning. Austin
(34:54):
Reeves going for fifty five tonight. Stick it the salty, No,
we're gonna break
